EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH

The whole world is waiting for
the news of the death of Francis
Joseph, head of the house of Haps-
burg and emperor of Austria Hun
gary. While Monday nights dis
patches from Vienna announced that
there was an improvement in his con-
dition, that must be only temporary,
for it cannot be expected that he is
much longer for this life His age
prohibits the entertainment of any
such hope. He was seventy-seven
years old last August. His health
has been much shattered by the tear
full tragedies which have occurred
in his Immediate family.
The head Of one of the most au-
tocratic of the reigning families of
Europe, he has suffered from tragic
deaths in his family as few men have
suffered. His son and the heir to the
throne met a mysterious death, sup
posed to have been at his own hands,
as the result of a scandal. His wife,

of all the royal families, lost her
life at the hands of an anarchist
while on a tour of Switzerland. 9th
den and tragic deaths. In fact there
seems to be q fatality hanging over
the Hapsburg family. Some say it
is the sins of the fathers being visit
family G Austria is now paying the
penalty .J~ the life of tyranny and
debauchery led by it's ancestors.
In no royal family of Europe is
the principle of the divine right of
kings SO strenuously maintained. The
Hapsburgs, in the opinion of the
Hapsburgs, are of a different and
superior class of humanity from the
balance of mankind, and the subjects
Of the ruling family have for gen.
erations been educated to the same
belief
With all this, strange to say, the
present emperor is, in some respects,
one of the most democratic in his
family relations, of all the rulers
of Europe. He is q man who, while
al great stickler for court etiquette
and prestige in court matters, has
devoted the latter part of his life
to the amelioration of the hardships
of his subjects so far as lay in his
power to do so, with the lights be-
fore him and without violation of
the most binding traditional laws OF
the empire.
The old man will go TO his grave
bowed down with sorrow and shame
because of the many tragedies and
disgraceful acts which have occurr-
ed in his family during his long
reign. At heart he is a good man,
it is said, but his environments and
the traditions of his family have pre-
vented his carrying out MS desires
for the betterment of the condition
of his people. A pitable life he has
led. and he is more to be commits
Grated than condemned for the sins

RAILROADS AND POLITICS

Recent events show that the big
railway Bosses in North Carolina have
made up their minds to try to Make
North Carolina go republican If they
cannot control the democratic organ
ization. Fortunately also recent
events have extracted most of their
fangs so they cannot longer injure.
1t is but history repeating itself, for
they helped the republicans in 1896
and in 1897 established The Raleigh
Tribune as O. republican-railroad
organ in Raleigh. News and Obser-
yer.
AS The News and Observer knows
so much about what the railroads
of this state did for the republican
party in 1896, it should be able to
tell the public what it did for the
democratic party in 1898. The ed
itOr of that paper, being member
of the democratic state committee,
shoCid have more information on
this subject than on the other. He
surely was not mere figurehead on
that committee. He must have had
actions. He could enlighten the peo-
pie if he would state what he knows
about the matter.
AS far as the principle is concern
ed-the diverting of trust funds to
improper uses-it is just as repre-
hensible and just as much violation
of the trust for the railroads to con-
tribute of the stockholders funds to
the expenses of one political party
as to those of another.
Of course if the railroads are go
ing to contribute from the company
funds to the campaign expenses Of
either one of the political parties we
would prefer that they gave all and
every time to the democrats and not
feel that they ought to turn about"
But we can't see the consistency
from a moral standpoint of abusing
the railroads for contributing to the
campaign fund of one party and
condoning their doing so to that of
the other
There is another fact we wish to
CdlI dLcuIlOH ", dHu IudI ID LAlL
The News and Observers insinuation
as to railroad aid to the republicans
occurred in 1896, while their is
strong belief in some quarters that
they aided the democrats in the
campaign two years later. Doesn't
that show a change of heart and Of
political sentiment which democrats
should encourage instead of check
ing by violent abuse from the dem
ocratic organ? If the railroads help
ed our party out in 1898, we ought
not to abuse them too severely be-
cause of the errors they committed
two years previous in aiding the re-
publicans, and of which conduct
their subsequent action shows they
have repented and tried to make
amends The democratic committee
might want railroad aid in some fu
ture campaign. The meA who are
now abusing them for what they are
said to have done in 1896 should
think of that.

George KNAPP Lives In House Full

When the temperature in any cleo

the temperature. KNAPP presses

are heated comfortably. Another and
