He had stay­ ed away from Boonsville quite a while, it seemed to the people of the town. “Pa.” eaid Jimmie, “if you stay at home much lorger people will think you’re ashamed ot your face.” “Well, I'm not, my son.

Dear Boy My Dear Boy.—^You ask why the Democrats insist that imper­ ialism and niilitarisin are the par­ amount issues of this campaign. . The reiison, my son, is very plain. Our Deulocrati*! frierds are pushing these things to tbe front because there isu’t anything else for them to talk about this year. All the rest of their powder has been burntonceaud won’t even lizzie this year, Theif platform denounces the Diagl^ tariff bill, bnt they do not wish to meet us before the people on that issue. The hard tinieR under the Wilson bill and the present prosperity un­ der our protective tariff furnish an object lesson which makes it nphill business to argue free trade this year.Their platform also deuounces the gold St Ddard legislation and demands free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Bnt that pow­der was burnt four years ago a .d events have shown the falsity of their predictions. They are like the boy who when beaten playing niarbles says, Let’s play something else. Beaten on tariff and the money ques tioni they want to play “militar' ism awhile. Their lack of any other issue is respoi (rible for the conjuring up of the spectre of im perialism.But while they are not talking abont tree trade or tree silver, the people are not geiog to loi^et that they are tbe free trade and free silver party, iuid, as Mr. Lin­ coln used to say, that reminds me of a little story. One cf our excellent missionar ies and his good wife went to an island in Polynesia about fifty yeais «®t>. ' They stayed there six­teen years and their work was woi^rfully successful, They had eattlc'foiiada tribe of savages. They ed the majority so great that no one would dare raise this race question again, yet withiu a few iveeks after the (18 :tion, after his machine had counte:! abont 80,000 (eighty thousand) more votes for their ticket thau it received, he has the brazen effrontery to say that if au attempt is m»de to vote tbe 80,000 iguorant negroes in this state, that the race issue would be raised it! its worst fiyrm. He is a nice man to endorse Jlr. Bryan’s “consent of the governed” idea, when he virtually admits, iu utter defiance of the constitution of these United States, and of the state 'of North Carolina, he has through; his machine denied to thousauds of Tjters in this state the rights free citizens iu exercising theii' consent in the government, and al­ so stands up and says to the pco-* pie of North Carolina. Elect me to the United St»t«8 Senate, Give me a ch’ance to rote in that An- gust Ijody iftkm a question of con.< stitutional rights of the Philip­ pines ani Porto Bicnus. Give me a chance to vote to enfnanchise these ignorant black men who have never enjoyed the rights awl priv- ijages of citizens of a free Bepub- lic, and also give him an opportun­ ity to show to the peoplo of these Unite<l States tbat he as chief con­ spirator has denied to thousands of Xorth CaroliiliaDS', both white and black the right to vote at au elec­ tion for men who are to govern them. The consent of the govern­ ed is beautiful and grand and greatly to Ite desired for these Spanish-Americans,, bat ^ould be denied to those who staml iu the way of Democratic pie hunters, and red shirt marauders. How long .^ni the people tolerate Biich ,i .1 (.rowiV; liiatis Uic uiieslion. ’ not whether the victim is white or black, its the principle. OH, IXOEED. A farmer living near here told me this inoriiing that he h.ad not been able to Bliare in the joy result­ing from high-priced cotton be­ cause he can’t get hands to pick it out for hint. There is, for some cause,, a scarcity of negro labor. North Caroliua would be in aS bad shape without the negroes as she ! would without tar, pitch, turpen­ tine, cotton, tobacco, .sweet pota­ toes or *po.ssuins. All these staples together with the nggro to look al­ter them, are needed for the con­ tinued prosperity of the State. The above is clipped from the Post of Sejit. 2Gth, and is from the peL of Trojan, whoni we believe is a Methodi.<jt prdiisher. They need the '‘niggir” mighty bad iu their bnsiue.ss, Mheu it comes to work and counting their votes for the Deimxjratic ticket. Those who have joined in with this crowd of looters, red ,?hirt marauders and midniglit regulators—who armed with Winchesters and piStols aud go around shooting and whipping these Same niggerS whoni they need so badl.y, to put themselves in power, by stealing their votes, etc. are Ihe (ii'st to suffer.

The blockading fleet outside posted the Scorpion and Eagle to watcli the main channel and sent four of fhe torpedo lioats up the west passage past Fort Greble, ami at 9.23 o'clock guns liegan to speak from that fort. The Porter was picked tip aud ruled out, so was the Morris.

W’e have ci'iticised already several such. Here I: anotlier littered at Au­ burn, Xeb.. to wit: •‘We have no title to the Philippine Islands according to the Declaration ot Independence. In tbs first place. Spain had uo title, aud iu the second place w'? cannot buy jieoplc. Does it seem prob.ibie that a mail of Bryau’p intelligence could sincerely put forth such stuff as that? No title according to tiie Declaration of Inde- peiidence? Of course not. Wiio claims that we imve? The title we bold is based, not on the Declan’iion of Independence, but upon a soicnui treaty uia' e witii Soain. But we are told that “Spain had not title” Wii.v. Ibeii. did Bryan urge ills friends iu Mie United Stales Senate to ratiry the treaty? Two weeks ago we quoted him as nayins. “We were not innocent pur- r*bns€rs.“ We iiatnrall.v suppose<l tliafc lie meant that we .bad somehow i>la.ve€l a trick on Sinin. becnuso Spain and tiie United States were the only par­ lies in li e deal, .ind surely we would not clieat onr-.elves, wonld we? There­fore we concluded that tbe nominee It Kansa". City meant that we had beeu sui'ty of some wrong toward Spain. Bnt it seems tbat Bryan did Dot mean that, for at Auiinra be as­ serts tbai “Spain bau uo title.” That Deing the case we purchased from a nation that iiao no right to sell: that Is to say. by the advice of Bryan, we paid twenty millions for a fraudulent title: tbat is. we defrauded ourselves. If tiiat were so. then surely "we were not Innocent pnrchasa-s.” Wc cheated Diirselves. Will any person say that gincereiy? “.\nd iu the second place, we cannot buy people.” Bu.v people? Nobody maintains that we bought any people. We heard Bryan say right here on our public square that we had bought ten millions of Filipinos for twenty mill­ ions of dollars, two dollars per head­ less tha.i we pay for ho.'is in this coun try, bnt we had no idea that the speaker was serions. We supposed ihat lie was trying to get off n sort of 1 Joke. Here It Is .igain, “We cannot buy jieople.” W hat ails fhe man? It 's well known tbat our purchase l.'om ?paln was not people, but sovereignty >f a siven teiritory. Will Bryan affirm that we cannot buy such sovereignty? Then we re­ ply that Jefferson, Polk, Monroe and l.incoin did that very thing, and tbat Pierce and Buci anan. two orthodox Democratic Presidents, wanted Con- :ress to purchase Cuba for a large sum of money. And yet if Bryan is right ill purcbane of territories by our Gov­ ernment. if people dwell thereon, was ivrong—it was buying people. Go to, William, you are too intelligent a man lo believe thai stuff! No wonder the gallant Watterson. Of Louisville, Mclaimed, “He Is a boy Drator. He Is a dishonest dodger. He is a daring adventurer. He is a political fakir." That was said in 1896. This Man is before the people once more as a candidate for the Presl- lency. Ho believes all the wild no­ tions of four years ago. He is the iiead of several political parties, to use his own picturesque language—"a liolltieal bigamist;” will the American neople elect him? Well, stranger things bn . : come to pass. A whole nation may liecome insane. Barnum said that p“cple like to be hnmbugged. Well, here is the chance, people. Put Bryan in the AVhite House and you have .it Will it be done? We hope not, wc iliink not. we believe not. .Vnd for this reason: No man was ever elected President of the United States who, in any given war of om-s, seemed to side With the enemy of his country. Mcik It well and look over our list of Presi­ dents from Washingcon down to Mc­ Kinley, and see if you can pick out one whose patriotism was tainted. Is not every one of them, like Caesar’s wife, above suspicion? W hat of Bryan’s patriotism? Well, we would hesitate to pronounce him disloyal. It Is certain, however, that he has actually sided with the enemy. His election is the hope of the insur­ gents to-day. Around “Dr. Bryan,’" as they fondly call him, cluster all their hope of Independence. Why? Because bis utterances bare given them aid and comfort. Hos he not said that „-jr title to tbe islands is no good, because Spain sold It us without right? Has he not asserted that we promised them independence and then kicked- them off? This, In our Judg­ ment. is siding with the enemy, and that alone ought to defeat him. Wo firmly believe it will. No man of that stripe was ever elected to the Chief M as^tracy. Here again the galUot Henry V/^atterson must have his say Hear him: “He (Bryan) is not of the material of which the people of the C n lt^ State,] have ever made a Presi­ dent.** But, say bis friends, “He is sincere ’■ •Wrtl. wbi of that?

Cotton is again “king” in ftje export record of the United States.

Tbe seven months eL’d- jug with jHly. lOOO, showed an expor­ tation of cotton amonntin.g lo $112. 5TC.097. while of breadstuffs the total exportation during the same period “was 51.38,304.52!); tb.-lt'of provisions. J103,80S,850, and tiiat ot mineral oil, the ne.tt largest Item. SB9,40S 151. The general group “manufactures” is larg. er than that of cotton alone, iin? no' single item, or eveu tho group “br-tad- stnffs,” incltides wheat, cwn. oats, barley, r.ve. etc.. equals cotf.«« during tlie seven months ending witli July, 1900. Cotton exportations ami movenieuts arc measured usually by what is terme;I .the "cotton j’car,” whicii ends with the month of August. Tiie Treasury Bureau of Statistics li;is Just received tlie record of .\ngust ex­ portations, and is thus able lo m.ifa-' up tho figures for the “cotton year’' and compare then: witii tbos^ of the preceding year. These reports, irfircli are of a prelimiuary uatnre. include about 08 vev cent, of the toiil' cxpon.< of cotton, ; ud as the c'Jmp.^'•ison of the present yeaf is made w.'th the similar reports of preceding yea."s. the relative showing for the various .''Ciirs Is a fair one. A study of the expo sta­ tion of cotton supplied by these flgui'c'’ shows that the exports of raw cottOL' during the cotton year ending with' August 1900, are greater In value than In any preceding cotton year since 1802, and the average price iier pound greater than on any occasion since 1893, except in the year ISOG. Unbber In Onr Iilanili. In the four years ended June SO, 1900. we imported nearly $100,000,000 worth of raw India rubber. The De- fartm ent of Agriculture has instituted experiments to determine whether this rubber cannot be produced by Americans iu our own tropical islands.. More than a hundred million dollars' worth of India rubber has-been im­ ported into 'he United States during the past four years, and more than sixty million dollars’ worth In the last two years. A deeade ago the annual importations of India rubber amount­ ed to about $15,000,000; now they e.v- ceed ^30,000,000, and are steadily in­ creasing. Practically all of the Impor­ tations of rubber come In crude form for use of manufacturers, who are constantly extending its application to various new lines of industr,v. This, coupled with the well-known fact tbat onr own Department of Agricul­ ture has alread,v begun experiments »nd Inquiries In this line in the Island territories of the United States, adns greatly to the interest in this ques- tiijn and to the possibility that the J.30,000,000 a year which we are now sending ont ot the country for this product may be expended under tiic American dag aud among American producers.' B a d g e rin g F o rto B Irn n s. Captain William H. Elliott, of tiie Department of the Interior.- now in Porto Rico, writes relacive to tbe isl­ and situation: “It is a burning shame and disgrace to American Journalism that newspapers, even Democratic, should seek to breed discontent, strife and disloyalty among, and to belittle and bring into contempt, a people who so universally embraced the opportu- nity to cast their lot with the citizens of the Great RepULiic and are so earnestly striving to follow the light of knowledge to a coiTcct understand­ ing of the 1.1WS, methods, customs and habits of those by whom they would hope to merit weleome as comrades and brothers In fealty and devotion to the country of Woshington, Lincoln and McKinley.” A B anner Cotton Tear. The average export price of cotton In the month of August was 9.7 cents, compared with 5.8 cents In August, 1895. Increased demand both at home and In Japan has brought about this raise iu values. Increased demaud was due to the prosperous times brought about by the McKinley ad­ministration. Th e M enace or Attceld. If there is any doubt in the minds of the people as to how Mr. Bryan wonld fill the Supreme Court vacan­ cies that doubt will be removed by re­ ferring to the public utterances of for­ mer Governor Altgeld. BConeT In B o n n d Cotton Valei. Chairman James K. Jones, who is conducting Bryan’s anti-trust-anti- everythlng campaign. Is one of the twenty-six millionaires in Arkansas.

Since Papoleon Bonaparte, there baa been no greater Imperialist than Bry­ an himself. Hla will is tahe law of the party that supports him. and, if elected, he would endeavor to rule the entire nation with the same iron hand.

The pub­ lic school ■n-ill not have the support of all the people when united with the church school. The public schools are for all the people, supported by all the people, and must ser+e all ti.e people by giving instruction without any re­ gard to denominations or churches. ‘'The law^ provides for combining public schools with private, but 1 do not think thrs, in any sense, means denominational or church schools. Therefore, my instruction to you as county superintendent, is that you do not combine public schools with de­ nominational schools. "I am aware that these church schools have well prepared teachers, but, notwithstanding this, the primary object for which they are employed is to benefit the church, and in every community we find some parents who will not send their children because the school is under church influence other than their own. "We must not have any hindrance or objections to our public schools that may be easily avoided. We must have the united support of the people in the public school work if the work is ever to be and to accomplish what it should.” Senator Franks Indicted. The grand jury for the present term of Wake Superior court has found a true bill against State Senator *J. A. Franks, of Swain county, charging him with perjury. The case is set for trial at the next criminal term of Wake Superior court. In January, 1899. during the session of the legisla­ ture, a young lawyer from one of the western counties, was arrested in Hal- eigh and bound over to court on a charge of stealing law books from the office of the clerk of court of Vv^ake county. His bond was fixed at and Franks gave it for him, swearing that he was worth that amount over and above the homestead, ois liabili­ ties and exemptions, justice ran away before the term of court at which he was to be tried and his bond was de­ clared forfeited. Judgment for the amount of the bond was taken against Franks and execution was iss-aed. The return was made that Franks 'had no property and the claim could not be collected. As he has never since made any attempt to pay the forfeiture he was presented at the July term and the grind jury found a true bill. Sale of School Lands. L.ast week the State Bsard of Edu­ cation held a meeting and authorized the selling of a thousand acres of school lands. The land in question lins in Jones and Onslow counties, and constitutes part of what is known as the W hite Oak Swamp. The price to be paid for the land is $26,500, of which amount $1,600 is to be paid cu h and $2,500 on July 1st, 1901. The title to the land is in dispute, and is the sub­ ject of a case new pendingjn Jones county. It is claimed by 6bas. Ved- der, under a grant made to Daniel Alli­ son, and the State claims it through a tax title. The agreement made ye.=i- terday was In the nature ot a compro­ mise and practically amounts to Ved- der giving the State $26,000 for Its in­ terest in the land. State News.

The average number of grubs to the square toot of the Infest­ ed area is about ten, and. l on^derlug that there are about spventy t<j eighty acres affected, it -will at once be seeu that the grubs are practically innum­ erable.

It maT possible to raise botli In­ ferior aJid good hay at a profit, but to do so it is necessary to malte a distluc- tion at the beginniug. It certainly will not pay to raise cheap hay for market, writes S. W. Chambers in the Boston Cultivator. There is always a superabtmiiance ot it lu every city, Bn<l it Is m arted down to such low prices that little or nq profit can lie H/inired on it. On the other hand, there are places on the farm which will in-oduce ciieap grades of hay for home use at a profit. For- instance, tiiere are often fields of land that lie Idle after the middle of June, and odd corners of the farm where the soli is rather poor where a fair stand of cheap hay can be raised to advantage. It is better to liave this soil producing tiomethiug than to let it remain idl.’ for H mouth or two. If no crop is sown weeds will Inevitably taite pos­ session of it, and they are far worse than nothing. One can sow grassseed on such udti Helds in the land to produce a rougii sort of fodder to take the place ot the nioi'e expensive and salable hay or crass. Of conrse fine clover or tim­ othy seed would not do for planting tliere. Imt Hungarian, Orchard aud similar grasses -would produce good results. A mixture of several of the rough and tough cheap grass seeds .would give better results than any sin­ gle variety. Sow this elieap grass seed as early as possible, and let It reach a good stand before cutting it for hay or feeding for snmiper fod­ der. The Hungarian grass in particu­ lar Is a hardy grower after it gets a good root in the soli, and it will grow Ihraugh iiot aud dry weather. Ked alone to horses or cattle it may provu too powerful a diuretic, both in fat­ tening and iu Iceepiug the bowels open. This cheap fodder or rough hay is not intended to make the sole food of the animals, but merely to supplement other foods to save the better hay for market purposes. Of course when you come to raisiug iiay for market there is nothing to take the place of your timothy and Clover. Fine thnothy will always com­ mand the best prices because livery and private stablemen prefer it to all other grades. Fine bright timothy hay will command from 50 cents to $l or $2 more a ton thaa any other hay and it is useless to try to make mar- ketmen believe anything else Is just as good. Timothy has the reputation, and we must abide by the resulte aud recognize It If we hope to get the top prices. Bat nnless the land hs adapt­ ed to the production of a big sUnd of timothy, It will often pay better to t«ise other fine grasses, even thougli they command a little less per tou. th e difference Is made up in the heav­ ier yield.

I have no machine be­hind me pledged to my election. It is of the utmost iu’.portance that there be a tree and full ballot, and an honest and fair count.—Char­ lotte Observer. The above sounds funny, does it not! Wfy, do our Democratic friends at last realize that it is ne­ cessary to have an honest and fair conntt The above u tefance from Mr. Carr shows very plainly that he is afraid of the machine con­ trolled by Simmons. Yes, not on­ ly advocate it in your Senatorial primary, Mr. Carr, but tell the people that you favor a free ballot and lair count between Democrats, Eepublicans and Topnlists. Tell the people that all just govern­ ments derives their power from the consent of the governed, and that it should be recognized right here in North Carolina, until th<* people of these United Statis repeal the present Constitution.

Read Hoiih, Lee S. Overman and Dan Hugh McLeans speeches on the consent of the governed. Mr. Overman said: “The only policy to pursue is to govern only with the consent of the governed. Fol low this policy and we will al\iays lie right.” Mr. McLeau said: “We are opposed to placing gov­ ernment over any people without their conscnt.*’ A grand principle isnt it! Have the people forgot that these two men canvassed North Carolina and aided Mr. Simmons in depriving thousands of people of their consent in the gov­ ernment.

Patrick and Charles S. Jones." the attorney and valet re- Bpectively of William M. Itice. the Texas millionaire, who died suddenly nearly two weelis ago. under circum­ stances that induced the Coroners of­ fice to institute an investigation.'• A. T. Patrick was arrested upon a icharge of forging Mr. Kiee's name to two checks for $55,000 and $65,000 respectively. Charles F. Jones was arrested as Patiick's accomplice. In addition to the two checks on which the arrest was made, the police au­ thorities believe that two other checks, one for $155,000. the other for $25,000, both of which were presented for pay­ment or certification after Mr. Rice’s death, are also forgeries. They also believe that the last will of Mr. Rice is a forgery. This will would turn over to Patrick the entire Uice for­tune of something like $15,000,000. Both Patrick and Jones were held in bail of $10,000 oacb wbcn they were arraigned in Court eliarged with forg­ ery.I Five handwrltini; experts unhesita­ tingly declare that the signatures to the checks for $05,000 and $55,000 are clnmsy forgeries, traced with a dry pen and then filled in with ink.While no more serious crime than forgery has been charged against either of tlie two men now under ar-; | rest, the police are convinced that i Mr. Rice died the victim of an assas- I Kin. They point to the vast fortune as a motive for the deed, and then turn to the forged documents to fur­ nish corroborative evidence.Dr. Walter Curry, who attended old Mr. Rice during the last five months , of his life, it has been learned, was j introduced by Patrick. Xux vomica, I according to Dr. Curry, was prescribed I by him as a tonic for the old man and ' administered daily l*y .Tones. It is u deadly poison in large doses. Mr. Rice died suddenly. No physi^ cian was in attendance. He was aion<f in his apartments with his valet..Tones when the end came and had seen nd one else for hours. Lawyer Patrick was the fii*st man summoned after death. He gave di­rections to have the body embalmed tvhen he knew that the deceased had csi)ecially and emphatically declared against it. The embalming was to be followed promptly by ci*eniatlon.In the District AttornoyV- office the opinion prevails that a conspiracy of great j>roportions will be uncovered when the case comes to trial and that it will be demonstrated that forgery rnd murder have been closely allied in an attempt to obtain possession of i the millions that were owned by Will- j lam Marsh Rice.

L o v e , on the 31st of last August. A telegrsm to the Observer In the after­ noon from Monroe states: “A tele- phone message received here a short time ago says that Mr. Vann Sikes, a prominent white man. and a negro wo- man, have been arrested, charged with poisoning Dr. S. J. Love and others at Mr. Tom Love's a few yeeks ago. The woman hss confessed that Sikes gave her and the poison for doing the deed. The prisoners are guarded neir the Ecene. About nfty paople are col­ lected and the highest eicitenftnt pre- vails.” Since the poisoning the legal author­ ities have been diligently at work on the c£se yith the result that the Not^ woman was arrested Tuesday morning. Dr. Austin 'phoned the Observer that she had made a contossion ot her guilt to the Officer making the arrest, and had implicated her hui'band s brother, John Nots, a negro name,d Hamilton, and flnally Mr. Vann Sikea.The woman was a cook at the Love resldenc* at the time of th« threshing. According to Dr. Austin’s information she said that John Note had given the po'aon to her End told her to poison Mr. and Mrs. Thomos Love, Dr. J. S. Love, his brother Wade love, and a thr'^her nrmed Taylor. The poiaon was in the form of a white powder, and Turas. presumably, arsenic. In giv­ing the powder to her. she said John Nots explained that he had received It from a negro named Hamilton, and that it had been given to the latter by Mr. Vann Sikes, who rwould pay $5 If it were administered. The prisoner said that she sprinkled the poison over tomatoes, which she served at dinner and which were eaten bv others in addition to those she In­ tended to kill. After the white people had concluded their meal she removed and threw away all uneaten tomatoes to* prevent the poisoning the negroes in the kitchen.

It is not generally believed, he said, that Mr. Vann Sikes had any connection with tbe poisoning and bis Impll a'lon in the matter ie due to a conspiracy on the part of the negroes, who dislike him for reaeons political and other­ wise.

The Texans have placed these two gentlemen under fire becarse the.v are the beavi.-st stockholders <n a concern known as tbe American Cotton Com pan.v. John E. Searles is President of thd organization. Tlie Chairman of the Democratic National Committee says his company is but a “large Unslness c<»cem.” but the Texn-is—and Texas is a Democra­ tic State—think differently. It charged that the Joues-Searles combi­ nation constitutes .a conspiracy against lawfni tradtf and free compe tition. The American Cotton Company is a monopoly it there ever was one. Not only Is It cntrenched behind 57,000.000 capital stock, but It Is fortified by patents which exclude the possibility ot competition.Nlcoll’s Stock Bixchange Handbook, a recognized authority, says: “The American Cotton Company Is a corporation which controls the pat­ ents for niacbinery and processes in making round lap’bales." “Controls'—that word itself Is sag- gestive of the "Octopus.” It is the “word over which Mr. Bryan fumed In his St. Lonis denunciatton of trusts. Every cotton ginning plant In the South must have one of the machines manufactured by the American Cotton Company. They save time and money. The cotton ginner must make his ar­ rangements wito the Jones-SearleS combination. It has exclusive posses­ sion of the field. The ginner must come to the terms of the combination. He can deal no place else. He cannot even bur independence from this $7,000,000 combination. The American Cotton Company re* fuses to sell Its product. It leases «s machines. The manufacturer attaches one to hl3 plant and yearly pays trib­ ute to the American Cotton Company, So great are tbe profits of this combi' nation that in the short time the con­ cern has been in existence Senator Jones is said to have risen from the estate of a comparatively poor man until he is now regarded as a million aire. And tbe Southern ginners con­ tinue to swell the bank account ot the Democratic campaign manager. William Jennings Bryan in his de­ nunciation cl trusts at St. Iiouls gave a list ot the great corporations of the country. But he left out the Ameri­ can Cotton Company and the Ameri can Ice Company. The others he de­ nounced. But these two great Demo­ cratic organiisatlonE he ignoreo. He exclaimed: “Those who attempt to divide pri vate monopolies into good monopolies and bad monopolies will never make any progress toward the overthrow of trusts." Therefore Mr. Bryan will not suc­ ceed as a trust smasher. Even in making his division in mo­ nopolies Mr. Bryan showed strong discrimination. He specified snch con­ cerns as the Federal Steel Company. Yet this combination is only one ot several iron and steel companies in the country. No one is forced to do business with the Federal Steel. There are the American Steel and Wire Com pany, the Republic Iren and Steel Company, the National Steel Com­ pany, the Carnegie Steel Company., and there are others. But Mr. Bryan made his division In favor of the American Ice Company, which bad absolute control over the prices In New York City, and which, last spring turned upon the poor ot the tenement house districts and added to its wealth by the suiferlng of the poverty stricken, and Mr. Bryan also makes his division in favor of a con­ cern which is so strongly fortified that every cotton ginning plant in the Uni­ ted States is forced to pay tribute to It. It depends, when- Mr- Bryan de­ nounces trusts, upon whose ox Is l>elng gored.

'Who arc ‘themselves’’ Judge them by what they have done. With capacity for self-government, why might they not have broken their yoke long ago? Now ;herc is the situa­ tion Who Is best qualified to meet It? It seems to me Henry M. Stan­ ley has answered this question when he tells us we should look at our new ix)si*s8ldiis in the light of what the Anglo-Saxon has always done. How can we leave these Ignorant, poor, op- pressed apd childlike people that in such a providential way have come to ds? Leave them to stumble on and sulTer and die by the millions? Such an act ought to brand us with ever­ lasting disgrace. W« must go to them with our law and religion and liter­ ature and our implements for shon and field and our high Ideals, and by kindness and patience and everlasting love try and build them up.”_Bev Frederick B.

Every meeting brings back to me one of the most patriotic ex p re s s io n s t h a t e v e r p a s s e d th e lip s of a soldier A party of forty men nnder the then Major McKinley went on scouting duty: They were perilous times then. .“All went well imtil we reached the top of a hill nud unexpectedly ran Into a body of ‘Johnnies.’ They were in ambush, drawn up iu firing line and aw'aitiug our approach. Our first knowledge ot their presence iu the ambush was a volley which brought down our three front fours of horses and men. “Retreat;” our captain shouted. “There is no such word as retreat, boys; charge!” came a second order, this time from Major McKinley, who. drawing his sword, dashed ahead, ifollowed by every one cf our men ex­ cept those who had given their lives to the cause. The enemy were com­ pletely astounded and at our charge retreated in confusion. “Before we started on ihis scout ing expedition we were ordered to take three days’ provisions. I had a sack o f p o u n d e d o a ts o n tb e p o m m el o f my saddle. -«ter thq rout of the enemy I turned the oats out to feed my horse, and found fifteen bullets In the sack. My horse was wounded, as was Major McKinley’s, aud his sword hilt was cut to pieces by bul­ lets. Major McKinley laughingly called attention to it. aud at the same time complimenting his men on their bravery, remarked: ■‘ ‘You iiave done me a great favor, boys, and if It ever lies in my oower. I’ll reciprocate.’ ” Do Ton Want This to Beturn ? Nearly 300 men were fed nt the Lakeside free kitchen yesterday. They represented every grade ot poverty and destitution. A horde of hungry men and boys blocked Randolph street from tbe Illinois Central depot almost to Michigan avenue. They trampled aud danced on the cobblestones to keep up bodily warmth. With the ma­ jority one ration only whetted a rav­ enous appetite, and they took their places In the file again and waited another admittance. As the fir^it set ot seventy-five men had been accom­ modated. another and another install ment was admitted, and 750 men broke their fast within two hours. Among them was the hardy-looking mechanic in his blue jeans, who had it in his eye that he would work at •half a chance, and the man in softer apparel, whose coat, now worn and perhaps tattered, proclaimed tbe bet­ ter days he had once enjoyed.—From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

When the Democratic party an­ tagonizes and attacks the administra­ tion of President McKinley—upon its policy in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands—the Democratic party is camping in the gravej-ard of dead issues.” From a speech delivered by the Hon.

Mr. Bryan is a schmart man enough, but I kvit him for the saJce of his 'sixteen to one’ humbug, and the demonatratlon at Indianapolis makes me kvlt him more. He says he was right them and the people wrong, and that he is right now and the good peo­ ple must now apologize by electing him President. The other -fellows in the convention at Kansas City have cot so moch faith, but they have hopes, BO they compromise with Mr. Bryan and raise a crop of calamity imperialism mixed with the -sixteen to one’ old seed, saying to themselves. ■Where ons don’t grow the other will.' “Did you ever try to drive in the barn with your hay-load too big on one side—too much hay on one side and too much wheels on the other? Yes, you did; and you didn't sa.v, ‘Uncle Hugo, we. needn't unload, all we do is to back out and paramount another big lot ot hay on the other side; then we drive in the barn all right.’ •‘I will tell you a little true story which reminds me of this loading up at Kansas City with the reaffirmation business and the ‘paramoant imperial­ ism’ on the top. GERMAN INDEPENDENCE."A very nice talking man called on my father one day to enkvire for sheep and calves to buy. They soon struck a bargain in which he was to pay twenty dollars for two calves and six sheep. That was before green backs. He offered my father a tventy dollar bill, but as he was afraid of 'wild cat money’ (there was plenty of it in those days) my father said h» wanted hard money. After much nice talk from the m in my father said: ’No. 1 rather have the sheep and calves.’ Then the man went on with his fine talk and complimented the Germans, raying pleasant things about the 'German independence ot character.’ "So they were about to part on fiiendly terms when the dealer took an awful kvick fancy to one of our horses. Pretty soon a bargain was struck for one hundred dollars. When the buyer caine to pay, however, he pulled out eighty dollars in silver and gold and that same tw'enty do'.lar bill. Then there was talk till you couldn’t rest, but my father said at last; ‘Ns, I rather have the horse.’ The stranger ansviered: ‘Well, I give you my nota for the bill.' but my father replied; ‘No. money not good enough to buy sheep won’t buy a horse; herhaps you pay your note with such a bill.’ “Well, Jonathan. I think of that cat­ tle dealer when I read what Mr uryaa says of the independence of the Ger­ man voters in his recent speeches, and especially when his subject is ’sixteen to one’ and the sturdy independence of the German voters.” COUSIN GERTRUDE’S YOUNG MAN. "Perhaps you don't remember, Jona­ than, when, your cousin, my Gertrude, used to have calls from a dandy young man. He sometimes sent her fine roses by his little brother from the village. I got suspicious of that young man, Jonathan, and by and by he stopped all at once coming to see Gertrude. You want to know why, Joriathan? Because one day he was driving by, down the road, and I safd very kindly and sociable like to him: ‘My young friend, I guess you needn’t trouble to bring or send any more roses to Ger­ trude because she says she likes 'em fresher than when you send ’em—she has permission to help her; elf.’ “You see, I watch that young man when he goes home late one early marnlng and I saw him steal my roses on the way out of the front lot, and in the evening next following he sent 'em to Gertrude. It he only keeps the rosts for his partikler friends in the village It wouldn’t so much matter; hut when he steals them to make him­ self solid with my little Gertrude, he reminds me of Bryan quoting from Abe Uncoln’s speeches to try to make the people think how much his tarty loves the people—when all the time before, the Democrats had no use for Mr. Lincoln. Lincoln was a great Re­ publican, whom to love Is fashionable, even with Democrats, now. But when their great man, Mr. Bryan, offers Re. publican voters roses out of Lincoln's garden they naturally feel like Ger­trude—they like ’em fresher, and they have permlseiofl to help themselves.” W ILUAM E.

U wac: “You ahaU not pre«», down th'e brow ot labor this crown of thoma* you shall not crucify humanity upon a croes of gold.’* BRYAN A CHARLATAN. iHor fw p years the crown of thorns to which he allnded has been pre&iine hard upon th« brow of labor. For lour years, according lo his idea, hu­ manity has been writhing and crying the cross of gold,'and yet he has not one word to say now, after four years of this terrific suffering, if it has been suffering, in favor of llfUng that crown or in favor of taking humanity off that cross. He declines to say whether he will do it or n o t This la either cowardice or iohumanity. If it is neither cowardice, or inhumanity, then it is confession that he was wrong four years ago, that^ie is wrong now. that he is not a statesman but a char- laUn. The reasons for his reticence are easily understood. His crown of thorns upon the brow of labor is the aureole of electric light upon the brow of liberty enlightening the world; that light has been shed in every home. It h<as illuminated the dark places of the land with beneficient effulgence. It has penetrated Cuba. Porto Rico" and the Phillppinei. It has been a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, >\%ich has led our own people and every other people under our jurisdic­ tion to the promised land. The cross of gold, under the opera­ tions of Republican principles, is not a cross, but minted coin. It has the eagle on one side and the emblem cf our country on the other. It is found in the pocket of the laborer and tho wage earner. It has lifted the mort­ gage from the farm; it has given un­ exampled impetus to the development of our industries, the progress of our country and the stability of our credit. RAM'S HORN BLASTS. HERE are too many Christians who are only leavened in spots. We cannot create spiritual power, but we may create its conditions. Public wrongs will not be righted ti'.i men are saved from personal sin. Noah, who could face the world, was overtbKi'.vii alone iu his own vineyard. A man's life never rises above its perpetual sources, hence the nesd o£ being -born from above. The taste of the fruits of the tree of Life forever spoil the appetite for ihe hitter weeds of the world. It is better to have a dog come iu and stir up an excitement amongst tho pews than to have no intsiest in the meeting at all. It is not the fiower-pot that makes the blossoms. Ground that is barren to seed is of­ ten rich in gold. Dullness sometimes passes the de^th. There is no individual liberty apart from social responiibility. It only takes two to make a Chris­ tian—Christ and the lost one. Wings of prayer can carry you where serpents of sia cannot crawl. A vice is always more dangerous than a crime. To substitute the good is the best way to eradicate the bad. It is vain boasting ot your sap unless you produce the fruit. NEWSY CLEANINGS. Iniielder Q u l^ received ills relcaaa from Cincinnati.

Only One Grand Prize for sewing machines was awarded at Paris, and this distinction of absolutely superior merit confirms the previous action of tbe International Jury at the World’s Columbian Exposition, lu Chicago, where Singer Machines received fifty- four distinct awards, being more than were received by all otiier kinds of sewing machines combined.

Tbe nervous hands of a -weak 'woman hav« toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head have known no rest, for the dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we wonld say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi­ness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by ain over-taxed system. For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as JLydia E. Plnkham ’s Vegetable Compotmd to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union 5t., Salem, N. J., writes: “ Deab JIbs. Pinkbam I feel it is my duty to write and tell you how grateful 1 am to you for what your medicine has done lor roe. At ono time I sufferiid everything a woman could. I hod inflammation of the ovaries, falling of the womb, and leucorrhoea. At times couid not hold u needle to sew.

On the L’ontrary, It Is almost exactly the op­ posite wa.v, and the prevalence of this misconception by rtomen accounts frequently for theiv inability to swim rapidly. Many of them simply flop their legs straight up and down alter they have learned to support them­ selves in the water, uad then wonder that their arms become so tired and that they make so little progress as !ompared with their masculine friends.—J.

Under ihe management of Mr. L. S.

Great preparations have been under way for a week or more, but It wab not at first thought the re­ ception wonld be so general. Polly 50.000 people took part in it. Great electric displays In various col­ ors greeted the eye on every side. For about an hour prior to the arrival of the train the bands and military and fraternal organizations were massing at the Union Depot . Brigadier-General McMaken was the grand marshal. In the line of march were two detachments of police, seven bands of music, two drum corps, a bugle corps, four companies of the .Sixth Regiment, 0. N. G.: two Grand Army posts, the famed “Cherry Pick­ ers” that have won prizes for drills over the cotmtry, the post office em­ployes and letter carriers In uniform, several hundred uniformed employees of the Toledo Traction Company and perhaps a hundred carriages contain­ ing members of the Toledo Club, of .which Mr. Ketcham is president, and of the Toledo Driving Club, of which be is a memljer.The parade was illuminated with fireworks from the depot to his beauti­ ful home at Eleventh and Madison streets, where an informal reception was held on his arrival. Crescens, al­ most smothered, in American Beauty roses, was a conspicuous figure in the parade and was cheered as euthusi- ■Btically as his owner BOGUS NEWS CAUSES SUICIDE.

Tacatlo^ —H e I.ed a G »y IJfe in N e w York Clty-Hfl is Said toBe in Enrope. Elizabeth, N. J. (Special).—William Schrieber, a trusted clerk of tbe Bllz- abethport Banking Company, who has not been seen here since August 2, was found to have stolen $100,000 of tbe bank's money. Tills beardless young man, who has yet to see bis twenty-flfth year, has proved himself, BO the bank officers say, one of the most expert of thieves and an adept at twisting accounts so as to deceive even tbe keen bank examiners. Scbrleber’s peculations go back at least three years and effect a great many accounts. The general ledger of tbe Institution indicates that j229,000 is due its depositors. The sum total of their pass books shows that they Iiave deposited $337,000 in the bank. The difference. $106,000, is tbe amount stolen tbrougli a simple system of peculation Tiy Schrieber. The money was spent in fast living in New York City, and those who knew the young man believe it was spent as it was stolen. Tbe bank offi­ cers attribute their loss to the cramped condition of the old offices, which al­lowed any person in their employ to get at the money, and also to their faith in the integrity of young Schrie­ ber. The missing clerk had several times been suspected of stealing, but the closest watching failed to reveal any shortcomings. On August 2 he went on his vacation, and his books were examined, but nothing wrong was dis­ covered. When he did not retum.how- ever, and reports of bis fast life in New Xork City were received, an­other and more careful examination was made, and it was found that beT had juggled accounts so as to make them appear all right The directors of the bank met and made good the loss. The directors placed the matter' of apprehending the missing man in tbe hands of a detective agency. He is lielleved to have sailed for Europe about three weeks ago. Schrieber lived in a modest frame cottage in Elizabeth with bis aged mother, his brother, Henry, and his sister, Annie. He entered the employ of the bank about ten years ago, when it first opened, as an errand hoy, and worked up to the position of bookkeeper. While organized as a State bank, the bank has been looked upon as an an­ nex of the First National Bank of Elizabeth, of which Senator Kean is President. The capital is $50,000; sur­ plus, $50,000.

It was on the strength of this docu­ ment that the arrests were made. He admitted that bis engagement to Miss Difenbacb. on the strength of which he is supposed to have been made a beneficiary cf her insurance policies, was nothing more than a farce. He declared that Dr. Unger and Mr. Brown were tbe leading spirits of the alleged crime, and asserted be was but a tool In their hands. He caid also that he bad talked with Dr. Unger about the insurance after the woman’s death, and with Brown on the same subject, both be­ fore and after it.

S>Isper8cd—W o m e n Tafce Part in Fight. Hazleton. Penn. (Special).—A spe­ cial policeman was instantly killed, an­ other was wounded in the head, a striker was probably fatally shot, and ten non-union men were more or less seriously wounded at the Oneida col­ liery of Cose Brothers & Company in a clash between the officers and 500 strikers. The victims are; Ralph Mills, aged fifty years, of Beaver Meadow, special policeman, shot through the back and killed. George Kellner, aged thirty-eight, of Beaver Meiadow, a special officer, received shot wounds in the head, but will re­cover. Joseph Lesko. aged thirty- eight, of Sheppton, a striker, shot in the groin and severely injured. Ten non-union men were stoned, but only two of them were seriously In­ lured. They are John Van Blargin and James Tosh, of Sheppton. The former sustained scalp wounds and the latter had four ribs broken. The Oneida colliery, having been in operation since the beginning of the strike, tbe union men at Oneida and Sheppton. where many of the em­ployes of Coxe Brothers live, decided to close down the mine. They gath­ ered in groups in the streets as early as 3 o'clock. As the non-union men were going to work they were asked by the strikers to remain at home. Some turned back; others did not. Those who went to the colliery were stoned. Van Blargin. one of the non­ union employes, attempted to pull a revolver, but the weapon was taken from him and in tlie beating he re­ ceived he had several ribs broken. This occurred just before starting time at the mine.The strikers remained at the col­ liery all the morning. As the small mine locomotive used in hauling conl from the No. 2 and No. 3 collieries to the Oneida breaker pulled up on the road near the latter colliery a crowd of women blocked the track. The women were told by General Super­ intendent Kudllck to go home. He assured them that their husbands would get an Increase in wages and that their other grievances would be properly adjusted. The women re­ fused to listen, and stoned the Super­ intendent, who was wounded in the bead. Then the striking men and the women rushed toward the No. 2 col­ liery.A force of fiftyspecial policemen,who had been brought down from Beaver Meadow to prevent trouble, attempt­ ed to Intercept the mob, but they were powerless to do anything, and retired to the engine room. Just as tbe offi­ cers got close to shelter a shot was fired. This was followed by another, and In a few seconds many shots rang through the air. Mills was the first to fall. Then Joseph Lesko, a striker, staggered to the ground. .. No one knows who shot first, but it is believed that both the strikers and the officers used their weapons. A gun shot killed Mills and a small shot struck Police­man Keluor. Lesko was struck by a ball from a revolver, with which class of weapon all the officers were armed. After tbe shooting the strikers dis­ persed. Sberlfi; Toole, of Schuylkill County, in whose territory tbe clash occurred, was in Philadelphia and could render no assistance. His chief deputy. James O'Donnell, went to the scene with a force of men. I' Distress A m ong the Strikers. Wllkesbarre. Penn.

One of the most important matters claiming the attention of the English engineering world at the present date is the necessity for far-reaching reform lu British methods of designing con­ structional iron work. Popular atten­ tion was concentrated on this point by the Atbara Bridge incident, but much of what appeared of this subject in the press at the time, was totally be­ side the point. We all know the at­ tempt which wns made at that time to show that English builders had not had fair treatment, but the South African campaign has shown us that uuder present conditions British bridge builders are quite unable to compete ou equal terms with their American competitors. An examination of the structures which, in certain cases, have been sent to South Africa to replace the bridges destroyed for military reasons is sufii- cient to show any unprejudiced obser­ ver that a radical change in our methods of bridge design Is essential If we are to retain our fair share of tbe Increasing colonial demand for con­ structional iron work. Germany is supposed to be a country where labor is cheap, and where, at any rate, tbe theoretical side of engineering is well understood; yet it remains a fact that the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, of East Berlin, Conn., has found It pos­ sible' to successfully compete witli German firms on their own soil in the erection of factory buildings. The material, after being nnished in New England, was transported 3,000 miles across the ocean, and was subject to a heavy import duty. Yet as the result of the economies arising from the keen competition of firms responsible both for designs and construction, tho American firm could still undersell the native.—London Engineering.

The contract specifies that the New Haven Ck)mpany shall furnish the Curley Company with a certain number of carriages, at a certain price, until November 15. 1901. With the contract received by the Corley Com­ pany was the following letter from the New Haven Company: “We enclose herein ngreeraeuts signed. Yon will notice that we have made an indorsement at the bottom. Will you please indorse this yourself? It is just as good policy for you to indorse it as for us, for you do not wish to be bound down by anything in case of such adverse circumstances as would occur in the event of Bryan’s election.” The indorsement reads: “This agreement to be null and void Id case William J. Bryau is rlected President of the United States iu No vember, 1900.' Other large concerns are Indorsing Important contracts in tUls way, their managers well knowing that a long season of business depression would follow the success of the Democratic ticket. A large Philadelphia dry goods ho^se in placing contracts abroad In­ sists that the contracts be similarly Indorsed. The business men know what four years of Bryanism would menu to them, and the working people are equally aware of the fact. If these classes are not prosi>erous, they will be unable to consume as much of the products of the farm as thej’ would in the event of Republican success, and the farmer knows the value of having an era of prosperity among those who eat and wear his products.

P, BUJAC, Lieutenant Thirty-third United States Infantry. From the Globe-Democrat. Appleton City, Mo., September 7 .- Will P. McCoUcy, an Appleton City boy, who is now fighting In the Phil­ ippines, writes to his friends and pleads with them to help defeat Bryan and uphold the honor of the country. He says: “If Bryan is elected, one-half of the soldiers in the Philippines will never return to the United States, but will take out naturalization papers la some other country.” From a letter from Major Coffin. "I really think I have seen warmer weather in Washington, and when we get things all settled here so it will be safe for people to go out It will be enjoyable. That result would have been attained sometime ago If our Democratic friends at home would only keep their seditious literature at home.” TIte New Star Spangled Banner. On the 13th day of September, 1814, during the bombardment of J'ort 3Ic- Henry, Francis Scott Key composed the “Star Spangled Banner." The British fleet had attacked the fort, .md the people were anxiously waiting for dawn, to see whether the fort had sur­ rendered. The situation gave to Mr. Key his motive. To-day our flag is floating over the Philippines. The Bryanltes want to pull it down. All the patriotic citi­ zens of the country arc waiting to see whether it floats there after the next election. The rebels, who are firing on the flag, shall be conquered, the Bryan- itcs shall be defeated, and on Novem­ ber 7th, the people of the countiy, with one voice, shall sing: “Let the Star Spangled Banner in tri­ umph be waved, O^er the lands we have freed, and the peoples we’ve saved.” The situation has inspired the “New Star Spangled Banner,” which is as follows: Oh, say, can you see, by the Far Eastern hgbt.What so proudlv we hailed at the twi­light's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars, af­ ter many a nght,In lands near and far is so gallantly streaming?And the thanks in oar prayer, rising high in the airGive proof to the world that our flag is still there;Oh, say, let that Star-Spangled Banner be wavedO’er the lands we have freed and the peoples we've saved. Oh, thus be it always, whenever we stand ^tw een the oppressed and a king’s deso­lation. .Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven rescued land Praise the power that hath made us a powerful nation.And onward we must, for our cause it is just;And this he our motto, “In God is our trust;”Let tbe Star^pangled Banner in triumph be waved,O’er the lands we have freed and the peoples we’ve saved. Gema of Democratic Fatrlotism. The Hon. Frank B. Burke, Demo­ cratic candidate for Congress iu the Indianapolis district, takes off his hat to no flag.” The Hon. Edward W. Carmack, a Democratic Representative in Congicss from Tennessee, says that the w ar In the Philippines is “mnrder.” The Hon. Richard Croker thinks “it Is nothing short of murder to kill those poor devils, who think they arc fighting for their freedom.” The Democratic party indulged In similar felicities of language during the Civil War. It has forgotten the lesson it got then. It wants another one. Let patriotic men unite to make this year’s lesson so memorable that hereafter no American shall dare to malign his flag and those who carry It a t the risk of their lives against the enemies of the United States.~New York Sup. Bxyaa on Extermination. In 1896 Bryan said: **Tbe Democratic party has begun a war of extermina­ tion against the gold standard. W’e ask no quarter, we* give no quarter; we shall prosecute our w arfare until there Is not an American citizen that dares to advocate a gold standard pol­ icy.” Tbe less that is said about this “war of extermination” just now the better Mr. Bryan is suited. But the Issue will not down. It is still a question of e lOO-cent dollar against a 4&ocnt one. A ModMt Chap. McJIgger—I never met any one 80 free from conceit as Meekton. Thingumbob—Modest, Is he?

Judging from the results of the polls being taken In the big office buildings iu Chicago, an immense vote will be piled up for McKinley and Roosevelt in tlie Republican wards of the city. That this will be true has become evi­ dent by the result of the poll in Mar­ shall Field & Company’s big store, in the Marquette Building, where the vote is five to one, and in the Monad- nock Building, where it is six to one in favor of the Administration. The Rookery, one of the largest oflice buildings, sliows a still larger McKin­ ley percentage, the mtion being nine to one. The vote of the Rookery iu detail is as follows: McKinley..................................................1128Bryan.........................................................121WooUey..................................................... 9Non-committal......................................... 20Undecided................................................. 26 Total................................................ 1304 This class of voters Is largely the same as supported Cleveland In 1802, and indicates to a certainty how the business men of the city feel toward continuing the present good times. How Onr Trade Grows. In spite of the drawback of war in China, our exports to Asia show a good increase In volume in the first eight months of 1900, as compared with the same months in 1899. Ex­ ports to all parts of the world are in­ creasing, showing the value of com­ mercial expansion..

That Mr.Bryan.shouldhe be the next Trcsident, would have the appointment of one or more Supreme .Tustlces, is altogether probable. That he would appoint men imbued- with his own ideas goes without saying. W hat a Biyanlzed court would be able to do is shown by the vast power which the judges of that tribunal may wield. It might sweep away the constitutional banker to a populistic income tax. It might abolish what Mr. Bryan and his followers have so loudly denounced as “government by injunction.” It might inject into the Constitution and the laws of the United States the financial fallacies of the silverites and the governmental vagaries of the Pop* ulists.

A Oood Boada Era. H E Question of the improve­ ment of the American roads has been for a long time agi­ tating the minds of the peo­ ple who take a pride in the welfare of the country, writes James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, in Harper’s Weekly. Toiwists have been forced to make oompitriBons unfavorable to the home highways when they have gone abroad and seen the beautifully level and well-kept roads of Great Britain and many of the Continental countries. It will be good news to the whole nation to learn that road im- I provement is to be made a special study, and wide Inquiry to be set on foot among the several States as to the best ways and means of placing the highways of the coimtry upon a superior basis. The Department of Agriculture has a little road office by which a few thousand dollars a year are spent along the lines of both educational and practical work. Innumerable projects have been advanced, consid ered, and abandoned as being Inade­ quate to meet the difflculty of Improv ing our highways. One of these pro­ jects led to the sending out by- the Department of Agriculture, within the last year, of experts to meet and co­ operate with different bodies in vari­ ous States for the purpose of carrying on practical experimentation with steel tracks that would enable the farmers to get tlieir produce to market with­ out running the risk of the heavily laden T\-agons sticking fast In the ruts of soft roads, made softer by contin­ uous rains. These experiments have caused such a demand to be made for further and more extensive experimentation to de­ cide the best plan for road improve­ ment that I, have decided to organize an office on broader lines and prepare it for doing more thorough work. To this end It Is proposed to divide the United States into districts, secure an educated agent in each of those districts to study conditions, confer with scientists and practical road- makers, address students an(} educa­ tional institutions, and make reports of work done i>nd proposed to be done that will form tbe basis of road lit­ erature. To begin with, it is proposed to lo­ cate the agents iu the Eastern States and the Southern States, one In the prairie States, and one in the moun­ tain States of the far West. The value of this plan is that as the conditions iu the several localities are peculiar unto themselves, by a system of inter­ communication between the various agents we shall gather the best Infor­ mation as to tlio needs of the whole conntry and the best methods of in auguratlng a scheme of national road improvement. It is proposed tbat these agents shall send specimens of good road material to the chemical division of the Depart ment of Agriculture for analysis; that study shall be made along the lines of affinity and possibility of coalescing the several materials to be obtained at each of the several localities and the advantages accruing from the inter­ change of material between the differ­ ent districts. It Is Intended that each agent shall reside within his own dis­ trict and concentrate his entire time •and thought on the study of the con­ ditions found within that district. These agents must of necessity be good engineers; they should know something about geology, for it will be necessary to poke around In all the comers of the surrounding country In search of material suitable to the road-making needs of tiiat section a knowledge of draining will be ad­ vantageous In making reports of the general conditions and the difficulties to be encountered In road improve­ ment, and the practical acquaintance with the art of grading that those familiar with road-making acquire will greatly help in a comprehensive survey of the situation. The first thing an agent will be ex pected to do when he arrives at his district will be to make himself tlior- oughly acquainted with the material at hiij command. There are many lo­ calities in the United States where stone cannot be found within a hun­ dred miles or more. Other localities are so stony as to make the farmers who try to make the soil fertile almost despair of overcoming the obstacles that nature has placed in their way. It can easily be seen how the reports that come In from agents in districts where the ground is of these two sepa­ rate natures can be made valuable. The material for road-making that Is absent from one district will be found in abundance in another, and the office at the Department of Agriculture will thus be placed In possession of intelli­ gence that will make the laying out of a great plan of campaign for road im­ provement a comparatively easy mat­ ter. The stony section can be drawn upon to supply the wants of the dlsti’ict that is all sand and soli, and from the sandy quarter can be obtahaed exchange for the stone the ma teriai that is lacking in tho stony country. The wants of the peo­ ple in one place will not be the wants of those In another. These needs will be studied by the agents, and reports made in due order. Bach man will work earnestly and methodically for the good of the whole, and the road department will keep a guiding hand over all, accepting and using sugges­ tions from any one who has anything to offer on the subject and inviting co operation from the entire country li: the important work of bringing our highways up to the level of those of other nations. Authority will be given to the agents to conduct experiments, with any ma­ terial or along any lines that are sug­ gested by those residing in and fa­ miliar with the districts in which they are located, and_ these experiments will be reported on and the reports added to the valuable literature that the flepartment will gather in the conree of the m o v ^ c n t Where the traffic of the locality is of sufficient extent to necessitate it steel e x p erh n e^ will be carried on upon a more eztenaln and S careful record of the cost «h' the road made in this way, with the approximate saving to the wagon wheels and the t>eneflt to the district and forwarded to the department. It Is anticipated that questions will arise where steel tracks are laid and hard rock for the filling up of the space between the tracks cannot read­ ily be obtained, as to the cheapest method of supplying the deficiency. It will be the duty of the agent to make experiments along these lines with the material at his hands, and if he finds he cannot obtain the necessary ma­ terial in his vicinity it will be left to him to make trips farther out and search the district to see if nature has not in some hitherto undiscovered spot left a bountiful provision for Just such need and kept it hidden, awaiting the ingenuity and perseverance of man to dig out and utilize. Having found the material that he, with his practical knowledge of road-making and the additional knowledge acquired by ex­ perimentation, finds Is needed for the betterment of the highways in that dis­ trict, it will be the duty of the agent to apply to the transportation compan­ ies for rates, so that when he makes his report regarding the needs of tho district he will at the same time have the figures of the cost complete and accurate. When the reports of the various agents are printed there will naturally be sufficient rivalry among them to call up the best efforts of the men to excel in the report that will follow, und advantage will be taken of the suggestions in the report of one agent by another agent, so that the second reports will be sure to contain even more valuable data than the first In this way the foundation will be laid for useful road literature, the attention of others will be drawn to the matter, papers will be read by men who are interested and have a practical knowl­ edge of the subject, and the whole country will be stirred to action and helped in the work of improvement. 'riie intention of the movement is to ensure practical results in a matter that has long pased the talking stage. The Department of Agriculture will place at the disposal of the agents in co-operation with them the facill ties of the experiment stations to be found in the various States, and every encouragement will be given for the' formation of classes by road experts, Iu a word, the department is prepared to give the whole m atter the broadest and most carctul attention with view to the extension to the people of the various States every possible as­ sistance to better the condition of the highways and lessen the troubles of those who use the public roads exten­ sively. rheumatism, catarrh are blood DISEASES-CURE FREE.

It is probable that, if the statistics were gathered and compared, it would be found that the gasolene stove Is more deadly to the women of this country than the campaign in tho Philippines is to the men In the army. Scarcely a day passes without a rec­ ord of the burning, seriously and of­ ten fatally, of one or more women In this city alone, and there Is no reason to believe that Philadelphia has a mo­ nopoly on such casualties. In most cases the woman is the victim of her own imprudence, as she tries to fill the stove while the fire is lighted or tries some experiment with it which results in an explosion, but this cir- cumstanco only shows the dangerous character of the fiuld.

More than likely you speak the same signifi­ cant words yourself, and no doubt you do feel far from well most of the time. Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis., whose portrait we publish, writes that she suffered for two years with bear­ing-down pains, headache, backache, and had all kinds of miserable feelings, all of which was caused by falling and inflammation of the womb, and after doctoring with physicians and numer­ ous medicines was entirely cured by Has. ELUk Bicx Lydia E.

Proof is monumental that Lydia E. Pink­ham’s Vegetable Comppond is the greatest medicine for suffering women. No other medicine has made the cures that it has, and no other womm has helped so many women by dii-i:ct advice as has Mrs. Pinkham; her experience is greater than that of any living per­son.

Four yeais ago, there were thousands ol cars . side­tracked, no building and but lit­tle repairing going on, and general stagnation in the railroad busi-« ness.

The way to elect Major Bnxton is to take off our coats and do it.— Winston Journal. T|ifl above clipped front the Journal indicates a change in metbodit, nn'ess taking off coats means more intimidation, and a more swee]>ing denial to voters the 'right to roister and vote. We shall see which, later on. There are but two ways of electing con­ gressmen in the south; one and the only proper way is by a free ballot and fair count giving to every le­ gally qiialiiied elector the privilege of r^stering, and then casting one vote and having that vote counted as cast. Every honest mau is ic favor of that and when he advo­ cates I'uy ether method, he is not honest, and is wholly unlit to par­ ticipate in the affairs of ^vorn ment,. How men who profess to be honest, and mem. ers of th« church, professing to be leading Godly lives, can engage in illegal election methods, and yet hold on to theii honest and religious pro­ fessions, is beyond onr comprehen­ sion. We believe and hope Mr. Blackburn is going to be elected, but as much as we desire his elec­ tion, we sincerely prefer seeing him defeated rather than he should be electeil by dishonest, illegal methods, such as onr Democratic friends resorted to in the August e.ection. Can you say as much f->r your man, Mr. Journal. Tak­ ing off your coat to elect yonr men will not require the use of vio­ lence, Winchesters and intimida­ tion. Let the gnus remain hid, for civilized and Christian people do not be.ieve iu carrying elections by suih means. Keep iu mind your leaders high sounding and impressive langntige: “That all goverunient derives its just power from the consent of the governed.” Take off yonr coat, and make a fight for your candidate by such mtans and such methods as will reflect ciedit o.i the Democracy oflive you will never have an op- regardless of 'whoportuiiity to vote for lietter men ■ ’ ” thau this year.

W ithout a dissenting voice the challenge was voted a hearty accept once by the hundred or more members that thronged the famoujj model room, where the meeting was hold. Speculation was not v.roug when it 'decided that the new challenge would not differ in its terms from the foruicr one sent by Sir Thomas. In the dates suggested for the races aloue is thtre rariaiion. ‘The challenge, whichcoaies through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, names, according to the requiremeais of tae deed of gift. Sir Thomas Liptou as owner of the challeuging vessel; Shamrock II., a cutter-rigged yacht measuring 89.5 feet on the lond water line as the challenger; August 20, 22 and 24 of next year as the date for the rac-es, and requests, that the starts, courses and other details be left sub­ ject to the same conditions as governed the races between Columbia and the first Shamrock last yeai*.A committee was api>oiured, with power to accept tlie challenge for the club, and to arrange the terms of the match. This committee will later in the year meet a similar comniitcee from the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, and full details of the sailing of the races will then be agieed upon. After the meeting the quesiion of a new defender was discussed. Various suggestion of more or less plausibility as to the defensive campaign went the rounds. By some it was said, with no quotation of authority, tljat at least two defenders would l)e built, and that a local designer would furnish the boards for one of the new yachts. The owners of the latter yacht were hinted at as a syndicate composed of three or four yachtsmen v.'ho have been prominent in racing off Newport. As to the owners of the first yacht, all *hose who didn't know repeated the gossip that has been current since the news of Sir Thomas Lipton’s in­ tention to challenge became known. Hurry Payne Whitney and Herman E. Duryea, it was said, would be the owners, and Captain ••Nat” Heii'eshoff the designer. EIGHT LIVES LOST AT A FIRE. A B au u h ttck le T enem ent in K ew York C ity a D e a th tra p . New York City (Special).—Eight per­ sons were burned to death by an early morning fire in a three-story frame Iiouse.in Hester street which was en­ tirely extinguished Avithin a half hour. Almost an entire family liviug on the third floor was blotted out of exist­ ence. One woman was roasted to death on the landing oi a fire-escape scarcely fifteen feet from the street, while scores of s))ectators looked on helplessly. The other victims were killed by blasts of flame almost before they left their beds, or they fell in a brief struggle through a labyriuth of antiquated passages and hallways. The dead are: Mendel Strauss, eighty years old: Samuel Sti^auss, a son. twenty-two years old; Mi*s. Sarah Fass, thirty-six years old; Samuel Fass, thirteen yeara old; Lena Fass, nine yeai'S old; H onis Fass, two years old; Mrs. Rosa iew is, sixty-t^’o years old and Mrs. Horowitz, forty- six yeais old. The police are working on the theory that the building was fii*ed by incen* diaries. The building Is a ramshackle, tum­ble-down affair, and as inviting a fire trap in the opinion of the.police and firemen as could be foimd in all New York City. The entire loss is placed at S6000.

The General speaks with commenda­ tion of the excellent progress being * made toward civilization by the Apaches, under the management of Captain Nicholson, Seventh Cavalry. He says: “I found them lai*gely and successfully engaged in agriculture, and saw large numbers of men. as well as women, at work In the fields, which is most uuusual for Indians.

Philadelphia (Spcclal). - Tlie gi*eat strike of the anthracite mine workers of Pennsylvania practic.illy cudeH Wednesda3% when the Philadelphia Rcadiug Coal & Iron Compauy Hml the I.ehigh Valley Coal Company agreed to abolish the siidiug scale iu their respective regions aud to grant an advance In wages of ten per cent, net, the advance to remain in opera­ tion until April 1, 1001. or tliereafter. This action meets tlie demands o' the Scranton Miners’ Convention. The decision was arrived at after a two days’ conference between rep­ resentatives of tiie individual coal operators and the large coal carry­ ing companies.It is conceded that the result of tije conference is a complete victory for tiie men. All the demands of their Convention are acceded to, and as one of the Individual operators put it after the conference, the operators go a little further in agreeing to maintain the wage advance after April 1. The Reading Company’s notice reads: “The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company hereby withdraws the notice posted October S. 1900. and. to bring about practical uniformity in the advance of wages in the several coal regions, gives notice that it will suspend the operation of the sliding scale, will i>ay ten per cent, advance on September wages till April 1. 1901. aud thereafter until further notice; and will lake up with its mine em­ ployes any grievances AVhich they may have.” The strike begun on September 17. In ten days 340,000 men aud boys were out. Soon afterward practically every mine in the anthracite region was closed. The coal basins extended over on area of 470 square miles.Tiie cause of the strike was ihe re­fusal of the operators to recognize the miners’ union, abolish company stores and advance -wages at least ten per cent. Later at a convention iu Scran­ ton the strikers modified their de­ mands. The militia was sent to the Shenan­ doah district after a Sheriff’s posse had fired on marchers tiiere. The mil­ itia was also sent to the Panther Creek Valley to disperse marchers. The total financial loss is estimated fit SIO,000,000, as follows: Loss in wages. $4,000,000; loss to operators, 54,000,000; loss in railroad earnings, %2,000,000. WILLIAM L. WiLSON DEAD.

As the Demoeratje speakers have seen lit to compare Agulnaldo to George AVasUlngton, isome incidents m the career of the former should be carefully noted. Tl* men who makeri* : i [anthese compdrisons [are cither insin­ cere or they are saslily mistaken. Agulnaldo was a jleader in the In­ surrection of 1S90-0T against Spain, when Prlmo de R ijera came out to the Philippines wItU a credit of near­ ly ?1,000,000 voted by the Spanish Cortes, and negotiated the famous agreement of Blecnabato with Agoi- ualdo, through the agency of Pedro Paterno, by which Agulnaldo and hl» associates, tor a financial considera­ tion consented to give up thoir so- called struggle for liberty and leave the islands forever. By the terms of this agreement. $800,000 vras to be paid to the Fili­ pinos, ?100,000 of which was to be placed to the credit of Agulnaldo aud his associates in the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank and the Chartered Bank of India, Australian & China in Hong Kong; 5200,000 was to be paid them at a later date, and the remain­ ing ?200,000 was to be paid to those Filipino leaders who remained in the islands. This contract was carried out by Spain, with - the exception of the payment of ’.lie last J200.000. which was due about the time the w ar broke out between that country and the United States. Whether we call tills money a bribe or an indemnity, it was accepted by Agulnaldo and he left his alleged fight tor liberty and proceeded to Hong Kong in December,! 1897. Soon after the arrival of the Filipino leaders there, under the charge ot the son of Prlmo de Elvera and other Spanish ofBcials, they began to quarrel over the distribution of the money, and in order to escape legal actioE, Agulnaldo prepared to leave Hong Kong for Europe, going by the way ot Saigon aud .Singapore. TJhe best evidence that no pi-omises as given him by Ameiican otBcials up to the time ot his de larture for Slnga- l>ore In April. 1898, for Europe—but e finances would not true champion of to the future were is tha" he started •en trouble about have frightened a iberty away from Hong Kong if any of Dewey’s officers had mflde him any promises such as have been since clajimed. One particular incident in connec­ tion with Aguinaljlo’s stay in Hong Kong must not b« forgotten. At a banquet given by Primo de Kivera’s son.and the Spanish otBcials to Agul- naldo and his assocjiates, although they had just been figUting against Span­ ish authority, Agulnaldo arose and pro­ posed the health ol'the Queen Hegent of Spain and the poy King of Spain as the fairest and ioblest ot monarchs that had ever lived, and wished them long life and hapmness! Can any one, efen for an Instant, Imagine George 'p'ashington accept­ ing a bribe, or indemnity, from Brit­ ish emissaries in <jur struggle for lib­ erty, and then proceeding to Europe and attending a hjinqaet at which he would have propi.sed the health ot old King George ;0t England as the fairest and nobles!: monarch that had ever lived?

Mr. Bryan undereakes to reform and readjust the business of the country, and one would naturally suppose that lie was possessed of large experience in commerce- and finance. But the fuets arc: Mr. Bryan undertakes to reform and l)ut In Lincoln, Neb., where he resides, he has never been retained in any case of Importance, and his small practice has been in the county court, where the jurisdiction is limited to ?500, and before the justice ot the peace. He has never been connected or placed in touch with any financial, commercial, manufacturing or Indus­ trial business whatever, and has, liherefore. had no opportunity tor edn- Icatlon in these matters. He has never had any experience In the State Legislature. He has never even served as Alder­ man in the City Council ot Lincoln. He has never bad any political expe rience whatever outside ot his fop.r years in Congress and his c.impaign- Ing toors. Although forty years of age. his only apparent source ot Income is what he may derive as compensation tor his public speaking and from contributions Jot the tree-silver people. ; History te.-iches us that the business jnterusts of the individual and of the ,country caii be successful only when jthey follow the teachings of exper­ ience.

It is time to (jismiss ‘the craven fear of being great,' to recognize the place in the world which God has given us, and to accept the respon­ sibilities which it devolves upon us in behalf ot Christian civilization," says Rev.

At­ tention is called to the astonishing de­ velopment of energy which has sub­ dued the Continent, and which to-day makes us the most forceful and re­ sourceful nation In the world. Amid these changed world condi­ tions. we coQld not maintain a policy ot political isolatfon. He continues: I t is quite too late to ask whether we will expand. We are already ex­ panded.

AH agree th a t the country should contain enough good ronds, so th at everybody- who w ishes to move about either for. business or pleasure slionld have an opportunity of doing so w ith the great-, est iwsslble com fort and economy. B ut w hat kind of a road will beet suit all persons Is the question ou which 'afl seem to.spllt. The farm ers declare th a t the roads ought to be of stone so th a t farm produce may be taken lo m arket for tw elve months in the year instead of for only nine months, th e tim e in w hich a dirt road may be used ordinarily by tbe farmers. The farm ers put up a strong argument,; saying th a t the farm er is the back­ bone of the Itepublic, and that when the farm er floes not prosper there can be no general prosperity. Then the bi­ cyclist comes along w ith a splendid argum ent to show th a t a stone road joggles too m uch for the wheelman. The cyclists declare that the road ought .to be either of ordinary dirt or of m acadam w here It will not pay to have asphalt pavem ents for tbe wheel- m ea' The autom obile men who are now rapidly Increasing iu numbers, rather side -with the farm er who needs a rock road th a t can be used in all kinds of w eather, but the driver of light harness rigs or the rider of horses steps Into the contest and de­ clares th a t stone roads injure all horses th a t have to traTcel faster than n .slow jog tro t The horsemen de­ clare th a t the stone pavements breed all kinds of trouble for horses that travel m oderately fast, including the horse.s driven by tradesm en and deliv­ erym en. The injury of the stone roads, they declare, are to the foot, leg and lung. Dr. H . H . Kane, Presi­ dent of the D rivers’ and Riders’ League, of New York, is out w ith a statem ent on this subject, which willj no doubt attract the attention of all classes concerned, and w hich may lead to a compromiso In the demands made hereafter by the various organizations w ith the happy result th a t everybody w ill get some of the things he desires even if he does not have the whole road to him self. The plan proposed by Dr. K une Is as follows: Firsts there should be one road along the m ain artery of traffic to and from the principal m arkets built of stone for the farm ers and all others who have to do heavy trucking; second, ou either side of this stone road should be a dirt road about eight feet w ide for the es­ pecial use of horsem en and all kinds of harness vehicles. The dirt road m ight in m ost cases suffice for the wheelmen, but in case there w as any unusual dem and for increased space, for bicycle riders, Dr. K ane would rec­ ommend th a t on the outside of the^ dirt road there should be a specially; constructed bicycle path. This plan of having a com plete road, the horse­ m an thinks, w ould give every class of' road users the kind of a road it needs, and w ould Insure hu-m ony among all road users. H e says th a t the members of the L. A. W. are strong enough gen- er^ ly to get w hat they wish, and In some sections the farm ers prevail and they gel w hat they. w ish. The riders aud fast drivers,-iie-says, have never -made m uch united eHort to get w hat they w astt but he believes tlie time is .coming ivhen such action w ill be nec­ essary for the preservation of valuable horseflesh. H e contends th a t the pro­ posed plan w ould enable the farm ers, the wheelmen, the drivers and riders, as w ell as the autom obile men to work together for a com posite road—centre stone, eight feet on each side dirt, and bicycle paths on the outside,—New York Sun. CoBTlcU and Good Boadl. The agitation of the League of A m erican W heelm en to have convicts used in building public roads is slow­ ly m aking h e a d w a y .O n this subject the N ew York Post recently coiitaincd the ftrflowing: “The League for Good Roads,in Onei­ da Coimty, reports favorably on the experim ent of em ploying convicts on road-m aking. U nder the direction of the B oard of Supervisors and the su­ perintendence of a trained engineer, the county prisoners have constructed a m acadam road, one and tbree-tenths m iles long, through the village of New York Mills, near U tica. The county authorities m ade a contract w ith the road district, w hereby it w as to fur­ nish laborers a t tw enty-five cents a, day, and allow the use of its stone crusher, steam -roller, etc., free of charge. The road district furnished the necesiary fuel and m aterial, aud paid for supervtoion. . The cost o t the road w as about ?5875, or *4500 a mile, and the total cost w as oiUy three times the am ount of the annual road tax. As it w ill cost only *230 a year to' keep the- new road in repair, th e an­ nual saving w ill am ount to about ?1830, an.d after the cost has been re-^ paid tl^ taxpayers w ill be delieved to this extent, or the money can be devoted -to other im provem ents.

A t this season all may be well, bu t w hen the roads are mud­ dy th e'tim e lost lii hauling bu t a few loads will, be m uch greater In value than the am ount of taxes necessary to, m ake good roads.

An extraordinary style of head goar to w ear while playing golf has made Its appearance lately, and Is so attrac­ tive th a t it Is bound to be fashionable. It is a shade hat in every sense of the word, and has a low broad crown and a broad brim th at can be turned down or up as desired. Around the crown Is knotted a veil of blue, or black w ith embroidered circles in white. This hat gives a mushroom look to the head, but it is said to be much more com­ fortable than the sun bonnet, which, w hile it protects the complexion satis­ factorily, is so w arm as to m ake it undesirable even w hen the thinnest m aterial is used in its construction. These hats are m ade of w hite straw w ith a yellowish tinge of very light braid. They are bound w ith w hite, and are em inently serviceable, but, it m ust be confessed are not becoming except to a young and pretty girl up­ on whom any sort of hat -nrould look well.—H aiTer’s Bazar.

N early thirty years ago Jonas Silver­ m an, a farm er, living near Springfield, Ohio, was swindled out of ?1,500 by sharpers w hile on a . train near 'Val­ paraiso, Ind. The crim inals escaped and ere long one of the three died. The other tw o drifted to the Klondike, a year or tw o ago, became rich and have Just returned to the States-. They hunted up Mr. Silverman, paid him the ♦1,600 and gave him »1,000 m ore by way of interest on tie forced loan.

The war has 'i-aised the price of beef '*“But how wuld that affect it!” “ Why, it makes a gi-eater de­ mand.’ “Ail, Simon, but you told me when 1 was here before that sup­ ply and demand had nothing to do with the regulation of price.^.” “I don’t remember about it; if 1 did. I’'1'e changed my mind since then. Here, hogs are a good price but they are B<arc«, and they ought to*be higher than they are. If it wasn’t for them rich fellows that have control of the markets we’d get what we’d ought to have.” “Oh, Simon, you’re too hard to satisfy. Why, you wouldn’t lie siitistied with Heaven, unl«!sf< Bry­ an was Go<l, and there was free silver. What’s corn worth now!” “I don’t know,’* said Simon. “I haven’t had tt ehancc to take any to market yet. I’ve been too busy to husk any myself, and hired hands are a.s scarce as henV. teeth.”“Wages are go<Hl, theiiT’’ “Yes, they’re too almighty good to suit me. * Why, it’s enough to break a farmer up to hii* help.” “It’s a sign of good times, Si­ mon, I see you are prospering de­ spite the gold staudai'd.”“Well, Ezra, 1 am as much in favor of free silver as I ever w;us, in spite of your so-called good times, but that is not the main re­ form that now confronts us. The principal question now is the Phil­ ippine war. It is a disgrace to this nation.”“So you are an anti-e^ansion- iste, are yon, Siuion!”“Ycn’re right, I am. I am on the side of those l>oor Filipinos who are being oppressed, I am on the Bide of Aguinaldo, the Washington of the Philippines. They are fighting for freedom and they ought to have it. If I were a B^lipino as I am an American I 'a«ic.M " a y : “ W T iere’s “^on writing about it.finding 11?* “I'l laughing.I bpon,? *’****“ honiie, I **■* tliT^ P®>ntcd and enlarged, different. ' but their chief trait is treachery. S.1 Pilose they were left alone. The islands would l>e given up to anar­ chy a™l mnrder of the law-abid- ill:;. Aguinaldo would make him­ self supreme monarch, and the people of the other tribes, out-iide the 'iWals, of which he is chief, w'oulU become hiS >-ictims. He Ls extremely cruel. If any man, in his army, no matter how good a soldier, or friend, disagrees Vith him, on any subject, however trifling, he at once orders him bc- heiuled. One of his chief generals, in fact, suggested that they sur­ render t« us, and it so eni-aged him that he immediately had him beheaded. Jllst think of it! Wouhl you compare such a brute to the father of oui' country! It is an insult to his inemory. You know, Simon, there are 8,000,000 people in the Philippine Man Is; of the-=e only 1,.500,000 lielong to tlie Tsig:il tribe, of which Aguinal­ do is chief, and this is counting men, women and children, ^his I tril)e is the one that is tl^hting up; the rest are i>eaceable. Were we to abandon the Philippines, and allow .-Vguinaldo to have his way, civil war would follow in his at- Icmpl to bring the other tribes un­ der his sway. They would all re- !k-1, for they hate the Tagals and their chief. “Xow the Democrats and Popu­ lists would have us stop the war, recognize Agiiimildo and help him sulMlue the other Filipino tl‘ibe.s, who are live or six times sis numer­ ous jis the Tag-als.” “Well,” laid Simon, “I don't cure what ‘lecomes of ’em after wc <iuit, but I tell yon, McKinley would have lots more friends were it not thiit he continues this war.” “See here, Simon, McKinley could not stop that war if he wan­ ted to. It is our Christian duty to live up t<j our resjjonsibilities. When Sx>ain feclcd to us the Phil- Ipiue ari'hipclago, in our treaty with them, anil onr Senate voted to accept the terms of that tre-aty, and whot’s yours! Grey! Wai. thot’s not sieh a very onoooimdn .sort of a name.” “We were jUst diseussiri* this anti-e.\pansion question, Mr. Mur- phy,” said Simon, hopefully. What do you think about it! ' •‘Well, mister. I hain’t' a divil of a bit of use for the anty-expan- der. He’s the fellow- thot’s agin everj-thing.” Simon wasn’t expecting to hear such an ansn-er as th-at, and was disgusted when everybody in the room had a hearty laugh at his expense. To make matters worse, the Irishman continued;“He’s the feller thot’s f’riverin the way and never does enything Init kick at w-hot the other feller’s doin’. He always knows jest how iverylhing ought to be done, but his valaoble infurmation is always withheld till somebody else has done the job. 'Xhose anti-«xpatl- der’s brains w-ere made of cust-iron- tLal can’t expand, and that’s what is ailin’ ’em. I suppose if this is the case they hain’t to blame for it, and then some of these old aun­ ties is born that way and come nachurl by it; but there arc others that are :tt the anty parthy for riv-nuonly, as fur iu8tdtlc«, tne boy progedy, Mr. Bryan, a lookin’ .bout to see whot his principles are to be for the comin’ dramatic seasons and sitys he to himself, says he, “I’ll disagree all I kin,” s;iya he, -with the prisseht admin~ istratiou,’ says he, ‘and w-hot they arc and whotever they’re a doin,’ stiys he. ‘I m agin it.’ The aun­ ties are a 1 noted for their argyfy- in’. They’re niver on the side that's progi-essin’, but friver on the side thots bucnin’. Kow, ivry mon in the w-urruld knows that the iidministration has had a purty hard row to hoe during the pxst twilve mouths. It hiW been a purty lively time from the be­ ginning, and there has been no time for debatin’. An’ thin the inimy was so imperlite as to make tsuch a dlvil of a racket with their big gnus thot nolMxly could have heard the old aunties anyway. 1 could e.\plain the subject further, but bein’ I’m a stranger of you all, guess I’d better be a little kefci'- ful,’ “Oh, go on,” said Jimj'ie, who was very interested in the Irish trave cr's talk. They all wanted him to finish his explanation; that is, ull but Simon, “ Well, continued Mr. Murphy, “it's been a nachur 1 succission ol ivints thot hat pUced thisaduiinis- '.hi-alion in its prissent position.

At the last term of onr court some things were done which need explaining, and we will give Mr. Greeds a) dhance to explain to the people of Davie eonnty. At spring term of our court the Grand Jury presented a certain man fof forgefy, and at this terni of court no action was ta­ ken in the case, although there was abundant evidence ag-ainst the accused, evidence which would have convicted beyond all doubt, and within 200 yards of Mr. Green’s room, yet Mr. Green saw proper b) dismiss this presentment by a stroke of his pen. What right le» g-al or otherwise, has the solicitor to defeat the prosecution of such men when the grand Jury has made a preSentnient and there is abundant proof within sight of the court hoiiHe to convict? Witnesses white and l>hick, whose names had lieen forged to receipts, and these receipts in the possession of a J. P., yet Mr. Greene ignored all this evidence and dismissed this case, Ie:iving the cost to be paid by the county, if paid At all. If he did not do it. on his own au­ thority, will he please tell the people of I>avie county upon whose advice and instructions did he act in not only this cese, but in others in which he took the same course! This luiitter should be investig-a- ted, and Mr. Greene owes it to himself to explain to the people his conduct in this forgery case especially. Was it because tne man presente<i was a Democrat, and there Wits a desire to shield him from punishment for a great crime. The people of Davie iiave a right to know w^ho is responsible. then those islands w-ere onrs, just ] The byes a w-or-rkin’ on the job as much as the State of California, j haue Lbcu doin’ some dom hard would nevei- lay down my arms, never!”“Simon,” Bajd E/ra, “it is just such men as you that are pivloug- ing that war.

James S. Evans, bag come out for Presult‘ut M cKinley. H e is a Southerner, ftu^l is the first m em ber of his fam ily wlio has ever voted the Republican ticket. Ilis letter follows: Mr. T. E. Powell, President Sotnliera liom ocratic Club. Chicago: My D ear S ir- I thank, you for yoiir hivltalion to join the Soutliern Deino- rt*atic Club, the headquarters of which are a t the Sherm au H ouse. Ac the sam e tim e, I.m u st rcspeetfully decline to become a party to an orgauizaiiou, the pui*pose of w hich is to assist Mr- W illiam Jennings B ryau in reaching the highest otlicc w ithin the gift of a sovereign people. I come of a long line of Democrat.^, m any of whom have been conspicu­ ous in the political history of the GuU Slates, l^rom them I w as taught tlie cardinal principles of true Democracy; and, rem em bering these, I cannot sub­ scribe to the teachings of Mr. Uryau and those candidates who are advo­ cating them . Believing them to be dangerous to all the people, and es­ pecially detrim ental to the interests of the South. I shall cast my ballot against the K ansas City nominees and for the first tim e in the history of a m em ber of my fam ily vote the na­ tional Republican ticket. The cry of im perialism raised by Mr. B ryan and his adherents, to my mind, is canting hypocrisy. Aud it seems to me to be the verj' acm e of insincerity for a Soutliern D em ocrat, such as you profess to be, to preach about individ­ ual liberty, the right of the governed to be consulted on m atters of State issue, w hen all of us, long ago, agiecd th a t tlie negro's place is inferior to the w hite m an's on election days. Is It your w ish to concede to the rebel­ lious Tagalo greater individual lib­ erty than w’e perm it half of the popu­ lation of the States of Louisiana, M ississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, N orth Carolina aud A rkansas to en­ joy? A t this present moment, as you very well know, every Southern State th at has not m ade previous provisions for the disfranchisem ent of the negro, is arranging to do so; and no one of our section who believes in the right of the Anglo-Saxon to rule. Is oppos­ ing. W ere I to assist in a movement seek­ ing to destroy the interests of tlie A m cricau G overnm ent in the Philip- I>ines. placed their by a combination ot circum stances this country could not honorably have circum vented, and isubsequently consecrated by the blood of my 'kinsm en who fell fighting for The honor of their flag, I should feel as if I w ere a common traitor. A Southerner by birtn. m politics a D em ocrat, an A m erican by the grace of God, I shall, in the absence of a D em ocratic nominee, vote for Mr. V niliam M cKinley beeause he is som ething more th an a m an after au ofiice.

H E road Improvemont law, passed by the New York Leg­ islature in 1898, has proved so efficacious th a t the good road division Z t the U nited States De­ partm ent of A griculture considers it the best State lav/ in existence. It possesses m ost of the desirable feat­ ures of State aid law s in other States, and but few of the objectionable ones. The law is know n as the Higbie- A rm strong law, aud provides th at any Board of Supervisors m ay adopt reso­ lutions asking State .-lid for rond im ­ provem ent. These are sent to tho State Engineer, who Investigates and determ ines w hether the road indi­ cated Is of sufiicient pui)Iic im por­ tance to receive State aid. If it is. lie prepares an estlm.ate of the cost and transm its this to tho Board of Super­ visors. The board m ay then declare tliat the highw ay indicated is to bo Improved, or m ay refuse to go any further. This gives absolute home rule to the different counties of tho State, so that no section can be com­ pelled to improve its liigliway aud no county should be perm itted to do so until all the facts and figures arc placed before it. If the Board of .Supervisors decide.'? to improve tlie road a second set of resolutions are adopted and sent to the State Engineer, who tlien adver­ tises for bids. W hen a responsible bid w ithin the engineer's estim ate m ade the contract is closed. If tlio town or county desires to do ihe work itself it has tho preference over all other bidders. The work is .‘junerin- tended by tho State Engineer, and w hen it is completed he drav,*s a w ar­ rant upon the "S tate T reasurer for fifty per cent, of the cost of tho work. The Supervisors m ust levy thirty-five per cent, of the cost on tlie whole county, and the rem aining fifteen per cent, is payable in one of tw o ways, viz.: If the Supervisors iiad decided to Improve this highw ay w ithout a pe­ tition from the farm ers owning land w hich fronted on the improved road, the fifteen per cent, m ust be paid by the tow nship in which the highw ay lies. If, however, the decision w as m ade after the petition by tlie land­ holders, this fifteen per cent, is paid by the property owners. For example. If road Improvement in a ceitain tow n costs $1000, §500 m ust be paid by tho State, ?350 by the county and $luO either by the tow n or the citizens hav­ ing land fronting upon the improved road. The money available for tho State road work is obtained by ti tax of 1 .1 c. on every $10 0 0 w ortli of as­ sessable property in tiid State, wlilch am ounts to about $50,000 a year. This law is strictly for tho benefit of rural highways, for although the cities and villuges of the State pay ninety per cent, of the taxes, not :i foot of the highw ay w ithin their lim­ its can be improved. Tliis m ay at first seem an injustice to the village, but w hen it is rem em bered th a t the prosperity of villages and citics is de­ pendent enitrely upon the prosperity of the countiy surrounding them, tho fairness of the plan is evident C o -operation P ro p o sed . Some months ago the Farm , Field and Fireside published au editorial entitled "The Bicycle for the F arm er.” The special point w as made th at tlie w heel w as already in the farm er’s fam ily; th at it had been found praeti cally useful la m any ways, saving the tired horse or horses from a trip to tow n or the postofflce after .-i hard day’s worlc, often saving time, whicii is money, in iunum erablo ways, l)e- sides being a great convenience. An­ other point made w as th a t the bicycle is a blessing socially for the womcu of the household as well as for tho luoi, young and older. It is used to go to church, to the grange or lodge, aud is a prom oter of neighborhood feeling and sociability. The bicycle is now so mucii cheaper than form erly (hat every well-to-do farm er can have one or more. Tiio points sum m arized w ere tiiat to have a wheel Is; (ll Good economy; (2) healthful recreation; (3) prom otes so­ cial life; (4) a constant eonvenieuce. Now, every argum ent which justifies the farm er in having a bicycle is au argum ent for good roads, aud it can be duplicated and reinforced by the fact th at w hat Is good tor the bicycle is good for the buggy or fam ily car­ riage of every kind and for the farm wagon. In short, the wheelmen and faimiers can join hands and heads in promoting good roads. It goes w ithout saying that w ith improved roads such as they have in some parts of New York and Pennsylvania and In m any parts ot Europe, our farm ers would m ake a large saving on their wheeled vehi­ cles of every kind and on their horses, who are w orn out and broken down as much by bad roads as by auy other cause.Good roads promote a higher civili­ sation. In fact, they are the best evi­ dence of the highest civilization. They m ean frequent intercourse w ith the near city or village, em bracing varied privileges for the fam ily, a more fre­ quent and regularattendanceat church and a t the grange or neighborhood gatherings for social Improvement of every kind.Good roads for w inter and sum m er and at all seasons give the farm er the chance to m arket his produce a t the m om ent w hen prices are best; he also can m ake his purchases w hen prices are m ost favorable, and take advan­ tage of bargain offers for his fam ily. O ur purpose In touching upon these reasons for good roads a t this tim e is to bespeak a hearty co-operation be­ tw een the farm ers and all residents of rural districts and the League of A m erican W heelmen. If these tw o great forces can only co-operate there need not be a neighborhood in the whole country cursed and kept back in m aterial and social progress by bad roads. DWlne K iffhtorD anshteri.

D iscussion of B est M ethod of Caring for Indigent V eterans. The annual m eeting of the Confeder­ ate Veterans* Association of N ortn Car­ olina was held in Raleigh in the Gen­ eral Assembly H all a t the Capitol, and after some discsuslon of the te it m eth­ ods to be pursued in properly caring for the old and indigent Confederate Vet­ erans, officers were elected for the en­ suing year. General Julian S. C arr presided, and read a paper in which he showed the inadequacy of the present methods to properly car© for the aged veterans and widows. He recalled the pledgQ made by the State, that the old sol­ diers and their .widows would ho al­ ways carod for. General C arr’s speech, in a happy vein, was well received by his com­ rades who heard him gladly. It was in excellent taste, well w ritten, well delivered, and made a fine impression. One veteran, who had never heard Car: speak before, said: He ki a fine speak­ er—ju st as good as if he had been in the speaking business all his life. I have always thought a lot of the Con­ federate soldier and proud th at I fol­ lowed Lee, but I am prouder tonight than ever before since hearing Gen. Carr’s speech. He is a true ‘reb’ and speaks from the heart.” He urged ac­ tive m easures for the betterm ent of the present state of affairs. Captain C. B. Denson. Secretary of the association, then read the annual report i Among other things, ho re­ ferred to the fact th a t eleven n e r camps have been organized n tho State during the la it year, makin*t the total sixty-one. He also mention-. » the work of the chapters cf tli.f. Daugh­ ters of the Confederacy, who are now raising funds for the erection of a m onum ent to Jefferson Davis. The re­ port contained reference to the work of Mr. W. C. Stronach, through w hos2 effort the Legislature appropriated $5,000 for the Soldiers’ Home, and al?o to generous gifts to the Home from Gen. Carr. He said th a t the Eum nec- cseary to relieve the sufferings tnat has come to the personal knowledge cf the secretary and others of the a»- eoclation would be $20,000. Mr. Stronach hero made a few re­ m arks on the difficulties encountered when appealing to legislative commit­ tees on account of m isunderstandings of the am ount of gifts to the Soldiers* Home and other institutions of the cssociation. H e doslred th a t som9 popular im pressions bo corrected. Colonel W. F. Beasley gave a brie! history of the beginning of the aszo- clation, and described his work in se­ curing the granting of pensions, in aoeaking of his reverence and love for Confederate soldiers, he rem inded h i audience of the fact th at in the entira history of w ars, the Confederate army is the only arm y ot which it can l»€ said th at no m em ber ever laid violent hands upon a woman. He considerei th at the best plan for helping indigent veterans was to let the m an’s own county recommend him to the asso­ ciation for help, and then let the aaso- ciaticn pay for his m aintenance at h:i own home. This would save the mas from going to a Home. It was resolved to appiont commit­ tees to mem orialize the Legislature foi the purpcso of securing greater appro­ priations, and also for looking into thd feasibility of ere.cting a m onum ent to the women of the Confederacy. Discussion a t length followed upcn the interests of the Home, pensions, otc: The president announced his re­ tirem ent, but on m otion cf J. C. El­ lington, seconded by General Roberts, General J. S. Carr was re-elected by acclam ation w ith applause. Commander A. B. Stronach moved the re-election of Capt. C. B. Denson aa secretary and treasurer by acclarna- tlon. This w as seconded by Gen. Rob­ erts. and the m otion was adopted. On motion, the association adjourned to W ednesday of F air week of 1901. Inspiring music was rendered by the band of blind boys from the Institute for the Blind. It was one of the largest and most representative gatherings of Confeder­ ate V eterans ever held in the State. Among those present w ere recognized General Hoko, General Robertss. Gen­ eral Cheek, Colonel K enan, Colonel W alter Clark, Colonel Beasley, W. C. Stronach, Captain John A. Ramsey, Sergeant H am ilton, Captain J. C. E l­ lington, A djutant Birdsong, A. _B. Stro- ach.

ESSEQCAMVtDERl. Me- According to a recent editorial in the Truth Index, one would in­ fer that a negro has no light to testify in his own behalf, in these Registrar cases. Will our Demo­ cratic friends undertake to deny him the right to testify in the courts, and thus deprive him of all his rights as a citizent •Hie con­ sent of the governed is a ieautifnl theory with our Democratic friends. Charles Vance, the son of the dead Senator says: “My father stated to me that if Simmons ob­ tained control of the poliUcs in North Carolina it would be con dncted as a machine, icgardleea of th» rights privileges or opinions of the people, and if there was any­ thing my father abhorred in poU- Hcs, it was a machine or bossism. Whatever honors he got came from tha people, and he trusted them implicitly. One ef onr yeoDg me» v en t on) laat Saturday to huBt a pmum mon.

T he m aa v iU M t lo iv iialn iit to hia «in>- dem ocrats AND T H E N E G R O V O T K Hon. James K. Jones, chairman of the National Democratic Com­ mittee, prints a signed statement in the New Tork Herald of Sun­ day, in the course of which he says: “The negroes, who have long held the balance of power in such states as Illinois, Indiana aud Ohio, are Iirestkiog away from the Republi<»n party. The coloml men fear imperialism and can see no hope for their future in a gov­ ernment by trusts. The co ored nun of Illinois, Ohio aud Indiana have made Republican Presidents, but Northern colored men are nev­ er rewarded with office when the Republicans are in power in Wiish- ington. The oRices are given to Southern n^rocs in payment for work in conventions, while the colored men in the doubtful on' Republicau States are ignored. During the Democratic administia- Tions, Northern colored men re­ ceived the offices. The drift of the colorpd vole in the North to Bry:iu is much larger than ic generally suppose<l.” When Mr. Bryan addressed a negro club at St. Paul, Minn., he used much the same language. He told the members of the club that the Republicaus had been utilizing the negro vote and giving the voter no oAioe, exeept that of janitor in a pnblic building. And he added: “You m a y kknt a«- HUKKD THAT IF BV THE 8UKFBACK OF MY COUJiTBYMEK I BKCOMK PhesidbstoftheUnited States THK RIGHTS OF A flTIZKN OF THIS COUNTRY, RKGARDI.EtiS OF COI/JR, CREKD OR CONDITIOS WILL BK PKOTBcrTED AS FAR AS THE EXtX-U- TIVE HAS POWER TO PROTECT THEM.” Chairman Jones and Mr. Bryan are trebling on dangerous ground. It will not do for the Democratic party to hold out inducements of this character to the negro voters of the country. It the n^ocs want to vote the Democratic tick­ et—and the wisest thing in the world that they c uld do, politi­ cally speaking, would be to split up and divide their vote between the two parties—there is no ob­ jection to their doing so. But the Democratic party must not hold out to the negro the hoi.e that if he votes the Democratic ticket he will get wore oflices under a Demo­ cratic administration than he has enjoyed under a Republican ad- mioistrat^oo, 1} the negro vote is to come to the Democratic party it mnst be without consideration. The time has not come for the ne­ gro to hold office in the South. Whenever he is put into an office that places him over white men there is going to be trouble. We are not arguing the whys and wherelore. We are stating a fact. It will not do and the representa tives of the National Dtmocr.itie party should not even intimate to the negroes that if they help to elect a Democratic President they will get their share ol the offices. We think that Mr. Bryan was also unfortunate in going out of his way to give assurance to his co'ored friends that it heshonld be elected President he would see to it that the n^ro got his rights. We do not know what Mr. Bryan meant by that. M'e cannot believe that he meant that he wonld inter­ fere witn the suffrage laws of the Southern States where the negro is largely excluded from the polls. But the negio might fairly inter­ pret his language to mean this, for the negro holds that he has a constitutional right to vote and that in North Carolina, South Car­ olina, Louisiana and Mississippi he has been deprived of that right by the constitutional amendment We say that this is a dangerous question for the Democratic party to meddle with, and Mr. Bryan and Mr. Jones and all the rest of them will be wise to let it severely alone. The Democratic party will never strengthen itself by catering to the negro vote.-Richmond Times. Every Democrat should read the above, and when you read it, re­ member that Mr. Bryan refused to help Simmons in his amendment ^ I» ig n . Read what your can­ didate say* to a negro club, aud then you wiU see what he wonld do if he were elected president. If Mr. Bryan is not opposed to North Corolina white supremacy methods, he is tr. 1 ig hard to make the negroes believe he is. Mr. Bryan is ont for votes, and anything to get them is his motto.

It IS the only preparation known that completely digests all classes of foods that is why it cures the worst cases of Indigestion and stomach trouble af­ ter everything else has failed. It may taken in all conditions and cannot help but do you good. C. C. Sanford. Strikes occur under all adminig- tmtions, but under Republican ad' ministRUions the strikes are for higher wages and the working men usually get the increase demauded. But under Democratic administra­ tions the strikes are against reduc tion of wages, and the working nieu nsual^y have to accept the re ■ duction. Dr. W. g . Lewis, Lanrrenceville, Va., writes, "j am using Kodol Dy­ spepsia «.'ure in my practice among severe cases of indigestion and find it an admirable remedy.” Many hun­dreds of physicians depend upon the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in stom­ ach troubles. It digests what you eat, and allows you to eat all the good food you need, providing you do not overload your vtomach. Gives in­ stant relief and a permanent cure. C. C. Sanford. When Mr. Bryan addressed a negro club at St. Paul, Minn., he told the members of the club that the Republicans had been utiliz­ ing the negro vote and giving the voter no office, except that of jani tor in a public building. And he added: “Yon may rest assured that if by the suffrage of my conns trymen I become President of the United States the lights of a citi' zen of this country, regardless of color, creed or condition, will be protected as far as the executive has powe^ to protect them.” The only German daily news­ paper in Kansas has joined the big procession in that prnsperons state and declared for McKinley and Roosevelt.
