One Hundred and Forth Day—A fter a brief debate the Senate agreed to the conference report on the H aw aiian civ il governm ent bill, the provisions rela ting to the right of franchise and im prisonm ent for debt having been am en ded to conform to the ideas of the Sen ate. The agricultural appropriation bill w as passed, carrying a little over $3,000,000.

The resolution declaring N athan B. Scott to be entitled to his seat as a Senator from W est V irginia was discussed by Mr. McComas, of Ma ryland, but its considei-ation w as not concluded.

Mr. McCo mas, M aryland, Mr. Turley, Tennessee, Mr. Chandler, New H am pshire, Mr. Teller, Colorado, and Mr. Allen, Ne braska. addressed the Senate in sup port of the resolution declaring Mr. Scott entitled to his seat. The case w ent over w ithout action. A resolution introduced by Mr. Per kins.

HOUSE. One Hundred and F orth Day— W ithout prelim inary business tho House resumed consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill. The Item appropriating ?T25,000 for pneum atic tube service, an increase of $500,000 over the appropriation for the current year was the subject of tw o hours de bate under m e arrangem ent previous ly made. Mr. Little, of Arkansas, opposed the pneum atic tube service, which he held was unnecessary and the charges fo^ service in New York, he said, were outrageously exorbitant. The govern m ent was paying $37,000 a mile rental for 6-inch iron pipe beside the cost of operating the machines. A fter m ature deliberatiM i the House refused to pass the bill. One Hundred and F ifth Day.—After lonr days of discussisn the H ouse com pleted the consideration of the Postof fice appropriation bill and passed it. The attem pt to strike out the $196,000 for special m ail facilities from New T ork to New Orleans and from K an sas City to Newton, K ansas, m et the fate it has ever since the appropria tion was placed in the bill in 1893. No one demanded a separate vote upon tho am endm ent striking out the pneum at ic tube provision, and the H ouse by a large m ajority, stood by the am end m ent to give extra com pensation to letter carriers for work in excesi of forty-eight hours a week, although the carriers were said by Mr. Cummings, New York, to be opposed to it. The bin to iccrease the salary of th e Direc tor of Uie Census to $7,500 and the sal aries of supervisors of census by two per cent, or the am ount' received by their ennm erators w as passed.

Special. — Somewhere be tween 1850 and 1860 this country, though sparsely settled, in>vited into its borders some capitalists to develop its tim ber and m ining resources. Be fore this we had no enterprise in our country to enliven the people and en courage them in lines of industry. A t that period a copper m ine was discov ered near E lk Creek postoffice and af terw ards know n as Peach Bottom Cop per Mines. They were alm ost out of reach of any railroads—being about fifty miles from the N orfolk and W est ern on the noirth and about one hun dred miles from w hat is now the Southern on the south, but they w ork ed constantly for m any years, when they concluded th a t the inconvenience to shipping points rendered it im pos sible to w ork the m ines ^^ith any pro fit, and it was closed eighteen years ago. For several years since the mine and the property around has been illi- tigation in the case of M axwell vs. Long. This case w as carried from the Superior court to the F ederal court, and from there to th e Court of Ap peals, w here it was decided in favor of Maxwell. Large sum s 'have “been offered for the property but no sale was consum mated till last fall, 'When under the supervision of Mr. Geo. Sshley, from New York, the property was pur chased at a large sum and is now known as the C arolina M ining Com pany. The old shafts have beeu cleaned out and w ork w ill probably begin next m onth. The directors will meet at Grand Rapids, Miah., a t an early date to discuss the w orking of the mine and Che reduction and con centration methods. Over one hun dred hands w ill be given em ployment. The mine is 150 feet deep showing a nine foot vein of ore and can pro duce from 100 to 200 tons per day as soon as hoisting m achinery is plac ed. The ore and w ater are now be ing hoisted by horse-pow er, but later on a pump will be used for w ater and ore will be raised by steam and cages. Compressed air drills will also pure chaleopyrite. W hen concentrat ed, it will run approxim ately, 34 per cent, copper, 31 per cent, sulphur and 35 per cent, iron—the adm ixture being a very sm all am ount of lead. The injurious ingredients, such as arsenic, antim ony, and zinc, are only found in traces, which enhances the value of the ore. W hen concentration has be gun it will be reduced from 15 tons to oae. Gold and silver are also found in sm all quantities from tw o to four dollars per ton. It is said th at the ore contains a viously tried, and also leading only producing a sulphate of copper. It is large percentage of nickel. Options have been taken about four miles ou this vein and it looks as if the coun try would sioon be in fijie shape. The com pany is also' interested in tim ber They own about 740 acres of land 200 of which is fine tim ber land. They have recently prospected cn graphite m ines near here aad otsti several oth er m ines, but the w ork and develop m ent of these will be discussed a t the m eeting of the directors. It w ill be interesting to note that th e copper in the cannon used by G eheral Page during the civil w ar came from this mine. The State geologist will be fufnish- ed w^ith a report and m an of tihe mine later on. Mr. George Schley, under w hose supervision the mine is being worked, and -who is vice-president of the company, is a native born south erner—was raised in Georgia, and is in full sym pathy w ith the South. He (has had much experience in m in in g - having been in the business over tw enty years. iCompleting his course in G erm any <he came back to Am eri ca—at tw enty-one years of age and has worked in various of the United States and Mexico.

A G erm an Sugar T rust reader tor THE BIGGER QUESTION, REAL ISSUE INVOLVED IN PORTO RICO PROBLEM. W bether O ar New Poiso.iloni Are or Ar« Not Alroaily Inleernl Parts of tlio Na tion UnUer tho C on.tltatlon—An Arti cle WUlcU Clears Up tlio Slcuutloii. “ K eep tlio real issue in sight, and let the President and the party ba judgod by that,” is the wise conclu sion of a very able article in the Se- ,attle Post-Intelligencer on the Porto Bican question. Obviously this ex cellent editorial treatment of a mncli- disoussed subject is the product of some knowledge and some thinking. Unfortnnately the same cannot be said of a vast volume of matter that has found its w ay into print relative to the Porto Kicau topic. N o writer has stated tho issue more clearly or more intelligently than it is stated by the Post-Intelligencer, thus: “ It is not a question whether we ought to impose a duty of twenty-five per cent, or one of fifteen per cent, oi none at all upon commerce between that island and the United States. II is whether this Governm ent has con- stitncional power to levy such a tai under any circumstances; whether Porto Eico is territory to be governed as all other territory added has been, by the disposition of Congress, or whether its people acquired, by the treaty of Paris, constitutional rights within the United States that compe recognition by ns and leave us ni choice but to acknowledge the new possessions as an integral part of th( nation under the Constitution, ana finally to admit them as States.” , Eigbtly the Post-Intelligenoer in sists that the contest is not waged on the question whether Porto Bican trade should be free or untaxed. The opposition to the bill is based upon no snch consideration. It cares nothing about the question either of tariff or of revenue. Engineered by clevei free trade and anti-imperialist ttrate- gists, the movement, intended solely to **put the administration in a hole,” has secured the adhesion of a consid erable num ber of Eepublicans who seem to be unable to discover the use that is being m ade of them. They are apparently blind to the fact, so clearly pointed out by the Post-Intelligencer, that— “ the constitutional question is th« teal bone of contention. T he Bepui^- lican party cannot abandon its position upon that without reversing all our precedents and destroying the practi cal possibility of buiidiug up a mighty commerce in the Far East by exchang ing for the open door in the Philip pines the open door iu the vast por tion of Asia under European control “ W e believe that those who havt differed honestly from the party’s policy in this particular will agree with it when they come to see what is in volved; and how cunningly the advo cates of retirement from the Philip pines have sought to m ake that neces sary b,T a pretended fight over the Porto Eican tariff.” If only the army of dissenters from the policy of the Eepublican adminis tration and the Eepublican party could once grasp the idea that a m uch big ger and more portentous question than that of twenty-five per cent., fifteen per cent., or no toriff at all is involved in the Porto Kican proposition, it would mightily help to clear up the situation. DIRECT CONSEQUENCg. tVliy W a sa E arneri* A re Sliarincr So 1.1b. ovally in JSmployer»* P ro fits. In the current news of the day occur cwo announcements of more than onli- uary siguificance. In a dispatch from Charleston, S. C ., w e are told that— “ The York Cotton Mills of Yorkville, this State, yesterday auuounced that they would on next pay day chip three percent, from theannualdividendand add it to tho wages of operatives. Tho wages of some of the employes had recently beeu iucreasecl thirty-three per cent. These were not included in the increase yesterday. President Ashe says: “ *W e cannot help foresee that there must be au end of the present boom, some day, and if we ever get back to the depression of a few yeara ago, just as we voluntarily increase wages now we will be compelled to reduce them. O n the same date the following state- mentis m ade in a telegram from Phila- delphia. “ In accordauce with their notice posted shortly after January 1, 1900, promising an advance to their em ployes, to take. efFeet April 1, 1900, the Berwiud-White Coal M ining Com pany to-day notified aU their, miners of a general average advance of twenty per cent. The miners are now placed upon a basis of sixty cents per gross ton, and all day labor increased ac cordingly. This advance will make the wages paid the highest during the past thirty years, and in some in stances the highest that have ever ex isted by nearly seven per cent.” This is what is aimed at in the sys tem of protection to American labor and industry— namely, that those who work for wages shall be the gainers through the profits accruing to their employers. As a direct result of the great prosperity which has come to the country since the election of Will iam M cKinley, and the consequent reinstatement of the thoroughly Ameri- can polioj of first taking good care of Americans and of regarding the for tunes of foreigners as a secondary con sideration, wages and employment have increased enormously in the United States, and the general rate of wages is in nearly all lines of industry the highest ever known. Xhe KIsintr Tl«le. Ho dectionallim sn I'rosperlty. Mr. Jay Morse, the Presideni oi the lioss National B a n k of Sandusky, Ohio, and a m an w ho is connected with several railroads in that section of the country, says: “ M a n u f a c tu re rs in onr district are iust as busy as ever, laborers are well imoloved. merchants report trade aciive and profitable, while the rail-' roads actually Iiave more than they can do. There is, in short, no reces sion or depression.” There is prosperity in a nutshell, or rather the story in a nutshell. T he nrospevity itself is manifestly too im mense to be confined within any bounds. It extends from manufac turer to day laborer, from the rail road magnate to the poorest brake- m an. It i® prosperity which the country knows, which every section of the counh'y knows w hen ever the American policy of protec tion is in force. T h e prosperity which flows from protection knows no North, no South, no East, no W est, but only one country, the interests of whoso people are the same and in which the prosperity of every m an is bound up with the prosperity of every other m a n .___________________________ Bad *■"«■ Calamity PaTty. Prosperity stories have taken the place of calamity croakings in Kansas, and M r. Bryan is wondering what he san do to regain his former hold upon the ears of those w ho no longer find him interesting. T h e story is told of an old farmer who, at the point of a shotgun, compelled a creditor to ac- cept°payment of a note before it fell due. “ W h y did he do that?” some one' asked the narrator. “ O h , he wanted to stop the interest,” was tho reply. John W . Breidenthal, the State Bank Commissioner, tells of a banker out in tho short grass country who wrote a letter tsking it there was any law that would compel him to receive m oney for deposit in his bane. “ I wrote him ,” said Brei- denthal, ‘ that it he had more money than he knew what to do with, I knew of no law in Kansas that would com pel liim to take more. Y o u see, they were paying their taxes, and the County Treasurer wanted to make a depository out of his bank, but he would be m andam used befoio ho would submit to it.” All this looks bad for the politicr.l party and candidate who hope to win by reviving the free trade and free silver issues of tho Chicago platform. Sinoke Drove Him Away. A n Iowa turkey roosted on the toi, of a chimney, cut ofl* tho escape of the smoke and gas and came near asphyx iating the occupants of tho house.

Wherever Bryan spoke he virtually proposed to pay oflf wage earners in fifty-cent sil ver dollars. W herever McKiniley spoke be never failed to tell the peo ple of the vast importance of work and wages for every American who needs a Job.

Osborn at his office in the Keeley Institute yes terday afternoon and found that genial gentleman leisurely reclining in a comfortable office chair. In response to the query: “ H o w is the Institute progressing?" he began talking, and it would take columns to properly record all that he said. H e pointed to a neat frame on the wall under the glass of which was written the words quoteii above, and said: ‘‘That is our motto. It was suggested bj’ a happy man, whu. when leaving the Institute, hcin.« cured of the alcoholic disease turned back and repeated these words, and added that w e should adopt them as our motto. W e have done so. It would do you good,” continued Col. Osborn, "to read the letters we are daily receiving from former patients, men w ho came here as i>hysical wrecks with reeling step and addled brain, to return home free from the blighting curse of the desire for rum, and, filled with new life and restored manhood, are in the full enjoyment of happi ness and the pursuit of fortune." "W ill the death of Dr. Keeley have any effect upon the future of your work?” was asked. ‘‘None in the world. A great bene factor has been taken, but the remedy which his scientific research gave to suffering and despondent humanity still lives to uiess m en and break the shackles on those who, unaided are hopelessly bound. Dr. Keeley’s two surviving partners are making the remedy, and it will achieve its great est success in the years to come.” ‘‘H o w m any patients are you treat ing now?” was the next question. “About twenty," was the response. “Since the present company took for those addicted to the destrucUre habit of drunkenness. Still another m an v/ho was treated several years ago wrote under recent date that he is well— saved. H e say» he has not used or had aey desire <o use any intoxicants. His energy has returned, and he is able to put in full time in his business, which has w on derfully increased. ‘‘I shall certainly” he says “ never forget your kindneas to m e when I was at Keeley. “I love the Institute,” another m an writes: “It will do all it claims. It is the best' and most wonderful thing I have ever known. I can truthfully say I have not touched a drop since leav ing tbere and have no desire to do SO.” A m an w ho came to the Institute witli the diagnosis of Tiis physician liat he was hopelessly ill with Bright’s disease, went hem e a cured m an. After, several years he writes: “ It is useless for m e to say more than that it saved m e from a drunkard's grave. I am well and have no desire for liquor. I only regret that I did not take it sooner.” Another says: " I have no better friend on earth than Keeley. M y health is perfect. I shall never forget the kind treatment I received while there. You have done wonders for me and m y friends.” The reporter was forcibly impressed wi»..i the faet that every letter— and there were m any of them— spoke in terms Of the warmest appreciation of the very kind treatment received while at the Institute, and there were m any words of the highest praise nf Col. Osborn for his personal efforts to encourage and inspire with hope the men w ho were struggling to be free. W e are permitted to m ake the follow ing extracts from a lengthy letter from a m an w ho was addicted to the m or phine habit as well as that of whis key, which is well worth reading: “M y Dear Col.

W e are now in correspond ence with 1,700 of them, w hom we know are cured and happy men. There have been eighteen or twenty States reiwesented here, and the work is growing con-stantly. There is one point that m any people even here in Greensboro, do not understand, anc that is, we do not take people here merely to sober them up. They are regarded as sick people and are treated as such. I frequently have all sorts ot prices offered me by m en w ho just want to come here and get sober. W'e do not want them. W e want m en who are in earnest and who have a desire to be cured. W e have white nurses, men who themselves have been cured, and who, knowing the melancholy condition ot the patient froim experi ence, treat him with all kindness and know how to sympathize with him. “ W e serve meals in the rooms to all who do not caxe to go to the dining room, or w ho are too unwell to go. —11 patients board here in the Insti tute, and the table is supplied with the very best to be had. W e m ake our own butter, and use milk from our own herd of registered cows. *ue success of the Institute is due to the fact that m en are in charge of It who thoroughly know their business and know what kind of treatment the pa tients require. They have studied it scientifically and know it also by ex perience.” Col. Osborn then showed the repor ter a number of letters from Keeley graduates. One m an who was treate'l five years ago said: “ I never fail to say a good word for Keeley. I am glad to testify that I still do not wane the accursed stuff.” H e quoted Rev. Dr. N . F. Reid, w ho said that he Pi'cached against it and would not use it in sickness.. H e told his son he wanted to go into the presence of God free from it. Another m an writing about the cure said he was thankful that it had saved and crowned with honor we last years of Judge Dossey Battle, wlio re cently died. Alter graduating at Keeley, Dosspy Battle actively en gaged for more than a year In helping to save others as he had been saved. The writer paid a W g h tribute to Col.

I thought of nothing but mor phine and how to raise the money to secure more when m y supply w'as ex hausted. Its chains were fastened tight about me, and I was as a help less as a child. I lost positions as soon as m y employers would discover m y habits, which would only be a short time. Friends deserted me, re latives looked upon me with scorn and derision, m y money was last disap pearing, or had disappeared, and 1 found myself without friends or money and addicted to the habit which was worse than death. “I became reckless, sold m y clothes from off m y back to get morphine. W h a t a pitiful condition I was in! I had almost given up in despair and felt that I was doomed and ruined, and knew that I would soon go to my grave disgraced and dishonored. While pondering over m y helpless condition I thought of you and the great work you were engaged in and wrote yon, as you will no dombt re member, explaining m y condition. I received a very kind and sympathetic letter from you; and to m y heart it was the first ray of hope that I had re ceived in m any a day. In that letter you stated that I could be cured by the remedies'of the Keeley Institute, and restored to manhood, df I would place myself under the treatment and follow instructions. • • • So on a Sep tember morning, you remember, I left home a perfect physical wreck, dis couraged and as melancholy as a per son could be for the Keeley Institute at Greensboro. I do not like to dwell upon this picture for it Is a sad .one to me, and I have told you of it before. “ I will pull the curtain aside and look at the other, picture, which is far more pleaJtint W h e n I arrived at the Institute and was greeted by you so warmly, and your other attendants, your kind words of sympathy and en couragement were precious to m e, and shall itre in nqr m enunr as long as life ^ a l U a s t You know how I entered fn “ 1 “ ed to follow•■’ftruetions.

I felt like shouting. I could OTarcely believe it, and yet I knew it J .V ’ I sa.ved fromdeath and destn;ction, and restored to nianhood again all through the mercy or liod and your devoted kindness and the instrumentality of the Keeley “'“ 'f: * * • I have held it ever since.

Please remember me kindly to every one at the Institute and if I can ever be of service to you in any way, please tajmmand me. “ Your grateful friend," That letter is a sample of many. There is no fake about that. It ia from the heart of a grateful m an who feels what he says. After spending some time in looking over the letters, Ool. Osborn carried us through the buildings and grounds, all so admirably arranged, so quiet, yet attractive and inviting. It is an ideal place, and we were so impressed with its charming beauty and able m anagement that we would like to go into a descriptive article. However, we will defer that for some future time. Clilna MeHoas. Nowhere else are the principles of sound banking better known an<3* un derstood or so universally practiced, while the word of a Chinese merchant is accepted the world around. The Chinese were the first to coin money and they have long since solved the problem of bank note issues. Business conditions are stable and values set tled. Their internal commerce is hi.gh- ly developed and all products that can stand their slow methods of ti'anspor- tation are well distributed. Yet this, the greatest country in the world, is without any of the modern means of transportation anti exchange. Its immense traffic is still handled in the most primitive manner—strings of camels that reach from the city gate to the horizon carry the tons of coal for the people’s fuel. Pack mules from western provinces laden with dried fruits, silks and rugs, return witji Balt fish and sea weeds. Heavy carts groan beneath casks of fragrant wines. Towboats are dragged along the canals and rivers by dozen of straining men. The traveling mereliant m ay make his trip by cart, boat or sedan chair, 'f the weather be mild, but if it be ivinter, the mule litter will carry him >ver the rougher country, or he m ay skim along the waterways on a light Bled propelled by hum an arms and legs.— Leslie’s Weekly. Loss of Sting and Death. W h y does the loss ot its sting cause the bee to die? we are asked. It does not cause it to die. It is an old theory that never had any foundation. The general opinion is that the bee in los ing its sting loses a portion of its in testines. But the writer has proven over and over again that the bee will live as long after its sting is gone as it will with the sting. H e has caught bees a number of times, after having been stung by them, confined them, and they have been as lively as any bee could be. Several w riters h.ave ex pressed themselves as having demon strated the same thing. A writer in a recent number of Gleanings says thal he has repeatedly tried to ascertain II bees that had lost their stings were in any w a y inconvenienced thereby, and that so far as he could tell, they wer« not inconvenienced and that they livetj as long as other bees. H e thinks thai nature has so provided that the polsou sac and contents may be torn aw aj and yet the bee remain perfect in all other respects. Still there is no way of determining whether or not such ■bees gather honey, or whether they are permitted to remain in the hive.—Tin Epitomist. Hopes are entertained by the N e w Orleans Times-Horald that the refuse ?ane from the su,gar mills in Louisiana may become a formidable rival to n-ood pulp in the manufacture of pa per. This refuse, called “bagasse” in Louisiana, is said to contain ten per cent, of cellulose, which would become paper pulp, and the present annual 31'oduction of cane would afford from }00,000 to 000,000 tons of paper-mak ing materiaL There is more than theory in the project A sugar-plantet; in Texas has been making paper, both aews and wrapping, from the refuse ol| Ills mill for two years, while one ba-^ ;asse paper mill is in operation irj Louisiana, and three others are con-- templated. At present only bagassel !from what are known as diffusion bat-! Iteries is available for paper-making,' the crushing mill bagasse being used as fuel,, that being the most profitable use to which it can be put For this purpose it is worth about sixty cents 1 ton, and it would be more profitable to turn it into paper pulp, if the latte* were worth only 53 a ton, whereas i1| is really worth about -520. The objec tion that Louisiana streams do not fui-: aish the clear water needed tor paper-^ making is met by the claim that the water can be made available by filtra- tion.

The Police Inspector said: “ Aboul ten years ago I was watching som< workmen pulliug down a row of ole riverside houses that had ta d a des perately bad reputation time out ol mind, and I can recollect what a stari it gave m e when they showed me tha' nearly every house had a great trap door through which anything eoult be dropped into the race ot the tldi below. M any a poor chap had gom to his death that way. I’ll go bail. Bu I can tell you a curious thing that hap pened only the other day. A m an hatj been drugged and -lobbed, but he tole UB that before he became insensible h( had managed to lock and bolt his door and locked and bolted it was w hen hi came round again. H o w they had go', in and robbed him he couldn’t imag ine. Well, w e searchcl about and finally discovered that the door waa really two doors one within another. H e had locked and bolted the innei door into the frame safe enough, but then the frame itself, was only an- .other door with separate hinges of its own.” “I suppose the list of those reported missing is quite, a short one in these days, is it not?” “ Some eighteen to twenty thousand a year! But don’t look so startled. More than three-quarters of them turn up again in some w ay or other. You see, the list includes strayed children and runaway boys to begin with. Then there are the men whti get locked up at night for somethinii or other, and either are too careless or too ashamed to send to their wives, with the result that the poor women rush off to the nearest station in the morning to make inquiries. Quite a number of men go and hide aftet quarreling with their wives. W h y , I came across a case the other day where a m an bad lived for four years ■within half a mile of the wife he’d deserted w-ithout her finding him.

Primitive Tele*raphy. The Kafirs, Basutos and Zulus are the native “runners.” But It Is not by running that they do the best of their work This they do by shouting their messages from hill to hill. They are the South African tjlegraph system. The first news of the battle of Glencoe which reached England and America came to Cape Tow n in this way. Whatever message is givien by a native negro is never altered by any one who forwards it, though it m ay be passed along by 2,000 men. The precise words that are uttered by the first m an are the identical, ones which the last one hears. White men have often tested this by sending messages in this way, and no one has ever known the mess ages delivered to have been exagger ated, diminished or altered in the slightest degree.—Julian Ealph, in Col lier’s Weekly.

C, Cowboy Blacksmltblas “U p at m y camp near the Four. Peaks,” told Jim Bark, the well-known] catUeman, “ the boys are all handyj with a rifle. W e ’ve a lot of guns up there. The old-fashioned black pow-i der Winchester has been discarded and! nothing but the best goes. Most of the new guns were bought during the; Spanish war, when we would experi ment all day with tree trunks and rough trenches, learning the art of w ar at home. W^e found that a bullet from one of the new Winchesters, driven by, smokeless powder, was good for tour foot and more of pine timber and for more than an inch of iron, “ I thought the boys had done about everything in the shooting line that could be done long ago, but I was mis taken. I sent them up a wagon. In hauling down some firewood they, broke the bolsters all to flinders. The bolsters hold up the wagon bed, you know. Well, the boys figured out all right the rebuilding of the wood parts, but came near being stumped on the iron fixings. They got some old iron wagon tires and cut them in proper lengths, but hadn’t a way that they, could see to punch the necessary bolt holes. Finally the question was solved. One ot the boys carefully marked the places for tbe bolts, stood the piece of tire against a tree and put a bul let, 30-caliber, through the tire at each placed marked. It was a novel sort of blacksmlthing, but It worked.—Ari- aona Grapevine. y^' The late Txird Hylton was one of the few surviving officers ot the Bala- klava charge.

ITotwitljstanding the Democratic party has at all times in the past bitterly denounced lorce bills, we call attention to the fact that the present General As.serably passed an election law which authorizes the empioyincnt of over six election baliffs at the palls, araic.l with deadly weapons instead of legal warrants, for the sole purpose of Dcniceracy J Potato bugs. p ile Democratic psrty anti tin. ■O ato b-;;; seem determined to«<un i-etcunuy but with this diflir r l!ie potato bng i« oa tn» 'a-" "hii* Ihe Demociatic party more signally benclitcd than the South, and no part of the Soutn more benefited than North Caro lina. The Democrats in our own gtate are le:t absolutely without cause of compUint i^aiust the National admiaistratiou, and have been compelled to resureat the ghost of negio domination jnordertodistract pcblie attention aud if possible pre vent onr people fi-jni endorsing at the polls the spIeaJid achieve ments of W illiam SJckinley in the execution of iiepublican policies at bc;ne aud abroad. Iu spite of the official' records which show that there has been ao ue^iro do;oi- nation and no possibility of negro domiuation in the iState or in auy of its counties ,d iriug the past quarter of a century, the Deuio- cnitic leaders have delcrniined to wage the c.>ming campaign upon the race issue ulone. and they gu before the people with a scheme of disfranchisement which is the most iuipi'deutiissault upon, the cijusti- cution of the Uniied States and the 'noat snocking act of party perfidy ever attempted by maa who recog nize the obligation «f an oath or the sanctity of a public pledge. In the last campaign these Demo cratic leaders published in their handlK>pk, which was distributed by thousands throughout the State, the following explicit deakr- iition and promise, to-wit: . “ The Constituton givei the rigu'. of safrage lo all male pcrsousuver ai yeare of .agie not disqualifi^ by crime, and the' tegialature caunot add or take away a latter froju that. Ti'.at <svn be done only by Ihe people, ard the Djjiuicrats will never Hubaiit any proposition to the prople’ to fake from a man his riglit to vote.’’ They do not deny making this promi.sc; they do not deny break ing it, and while it was fresh od their lips, without expUiuation, without apology, without I'emorse, without even the excuse of necesity they proceed to sacrifice the vic tims whom that promise had de luded and they d ^re appeal lo meu of lionor, even to the ministers of the Ood of Truth, to ai.l them in vio)a1ii:g the trnth aud to teccn-.e parties to this m >uii.ne:it,il a;t of fjeifidy, These Demoi-ratic leaders are kind enoug.: to iniWin us that ti'.e legislature caunot “a^id to or take aw ay a letter” from the quail fiKtlions of the voter, aud yet they j:roceed to j ass an e ctliim law which by tlie double process of ■■adding” aud “ taking a>vay'' im poses au educariunal qualiiicati >ii which will disfranchise a.s m.tuy voters as the ameudment itself. Thus they put into operatiou the very provision on wnich they invite the people to pass jadgcmeut; they exelude the victims intcaded for sacriiije.aa 1 leive cue elejtioa solely to those who are fortunate enough to be able to read the label on the ballot box.

How Vrajpe Earners Woald Relish Action IThieb Snlijected Tliem to tbe Coinpe>titldnof Vast Nttuibcra of Hmlf-Dr«M«d T s^bonds—Beal Factors of rroblem . Althongh occapyiDg in the colamns of the Congressional Becord scarcely more than one-tenth of the space com monly taken np the statesmen desir ous of disseminating their views through the uiedium of the Govern ment printing office, the speech of Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, on the Porto Kioan question, delivered in the National House of Bepxesenta- tives on the 28tli of Februrry, 1900, is among tbe most important cf all the speeches made on this sabject iu either branch of Congress— more important than sll the rest of the speeches pat together, we had almost said. The strength of M r. Grosvenor’s present ment of the real factors of tha Porto Biean problem lies in its brevity, its directness, its simplicity of statement, and above all its truth— solid, vital truth. “ Sorely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird,” began M r. Grosvenor, aptly taking from Holy W rit a quotation that shonld pu.t to shune a considerable number of Be- publican speakers aud writers who have deliberately walked into tlie uei spread ont iu plain sight before their open eyes aud have been awkwardly flopping around in it now some two months. It was a net spread by the enemies of American liberty and American labor; a net spread by pro totypes of those who in 1860 forced upon the country the dangerous issue of introducing ham au slavery into the Territories ou the principle that “ the Constitution of its own force carries slavery into any or all of the Terri tories of the United States;” a net spread by free traders with the design of advancing their favorite dogma of cheapening American labor anil Ameri can m anhood; a bet spread to em barrass and defeat the Bepublican party at the polls this year. It is strange indeed that in the minds of those Bepablican writers aud speakers who enlarge upon the cruel ty ol the fifteen per cent, tarifl proposition and who disconrEe so elo quently upon what they designate the light of the people of all our new pos sessions to instantly enter upon the enjoyment of all the rights ecjoyed by the people of the States of tLa Union the real purpose of tbe net spread in their plain sight had not been more apparent; strange that they shonld not see, what M r . Grosvenor so iorcibly points out, “ that behind it all is simply the stalking of the Democratic purpose, manitested at the very ontset, to drive the Bepubli- cans of this country into a position where they could destroy them at the ■polls.” I T he telling points which bristle in the speech of Mr. Grosvenor may thus be briefly stated: . 1. The question whether “ the Con stitution followed the flag" into Porto Bico, and if into Porto Bico then ol necessity into the Philippines, for yon cannot separate the two propositions. : 2. If the affirmative of these propo- Bitions be true, the cheap, degraded labor of the Sulus, the Tagals, the Filipinos and the horde of Asiatics vhich we took unto ourselves wuen we took the Philippine Islands will come into competition with American labor in onr mines and mills, for yon cannot legally prevent a full-fledged American citizen from offering his labor where he will and at what price he will. 3. That the entire volume of Porto Bican sngar and tobacco b o w await ing transport to the Americau market has long since passed ont of she hands of the native producers audlinto the hands of trusts and specnlators who alone would profit by the removal ol all tariffs on these commodities. “ That is all there is of it,” says Congressman Grosvenor; “ and in order to bring that about the whole Democratic party of the United States, and all their coagitators aud co-opera tors have launched their boat in sup port of a principle that will bring to the labor sections of the United States millions upon millions of half-dressed vagabonds to out down the price of wages.” Truly and well it is urged by Mr. Grosvenor that if tb: question h M stood alone, and had uot carried with it a m uch bigger, liioader and more portentous question, nobody would have been serions'j or per manently disgruntled if absolute free trade had been granted to Turto Bico, and the people of that island would have been granted, without m uch op position,-the boon of unrest .'ioted com mercial intercourse throu^'ii legisla tive enactment by a Bepublican Con gress; but not, mark yo i, in pur suance of tbe false and dangerous doctrine that “ the Constitn: ion follows Ihe flag.” It waB in ilie interest o! Amerioan labor that Mr. Groaveno:- made bis powerful speech of February 28? N o one has yet answered that » jeech; no one has yet shown, and no one can show, how the Bepublican party could have squared itself with the Ubor interests of tbe United SUtes if it had walked into the Bourbon free trade net so artfully spread for the purposes of the campaiKn of 1900.

In the eastern portion ot North Car olina the weather during the week ending Monday, April 30, 1900, was undoubtedly the most favorable ex perienced so far this season. A light rain occurred on Tuesday followed by six days of fadr weather, during which the ground dried out nicely and farm work proceeded uninterruptedly. In a large number of central and western eounties, however^ rains continued du ring the 2 « h , 25th and 26th which, while not heavy, kept the e<rfl from drying until Saturday throwing farm work further behind than in any other section. A destructive hail storm was reported on the 25th in Cievelan4 county with co'isiderable damage to crops and fruit; hail also occurred in Hffliderson, Jackson, and Rutherford counties. The temperature during the week was a few degrees above the nor mal, but the nights were rather cool. The fair, eunijy weather of the last days greatly encouraged farmers ev erywhere and work has been resumed with vigor, vegetation made rapid growth; forests even in the extreme west are becoming green rapidly. A great deal of corn was planted this week in, the east, where the work is approaching completion except on lowlands; in tbe west planting corn is still greatly behind, but is proceeding on uplands. Corn is generally coming up to good stands and has been plow ed for the first time in a few southern counties. Planting cotton is nearly ten days later than the average, bui. is now progressing rapidly; early plant ed cotton Kas come up nicely,, and chopping to stands will begin next week in counties along the southern border. Tobacco plants contiBue to grow nicely; transplanting has made some progress in eastern counties. Some farmers have finished sowing rice. Planting peanuts has commenced Gardens are doing well; in the west asparagus, lettuce, onions and radishes are up nicely. Truck crops are improv- ing; peas are in bloom, Irish pOtfitOM are fine, and sweet potatoes are sprout ing nicely.,Potato bugs have afi)6ar*d. It is feared the pea-louse will injure the pea crop. Crop correspondents are almost unanimous in reporting wheat as unusually fine; only two out of 300 reports mention any damage by hes- sian fly. Spring oats, clover, and grass have made good growth. Peach trees are full of fruit, apples and cherrie.i promise v/ell, but pears and plums are falling in consequence of injury byj blight. Shipments of strawberries are' increasing rapidly. Tar Heel Notes. The Armour packing house iu Char, lotte was broken into Tuesday oight, some time between midnight and day. light. The glass was broken o\it of the front window on Fifth street, which gave the thieves an entrance at once into the office. The incandes.' cent light that was hanging over the bookkeeper's desk was broken and therefore extinguished. The thieves then went to work on the safe. The hinges were broken an(^ the'combina tion knocked oft, but an^entrance was not effected. A ham mer was used in the breaking of the combination. Tlie desks were ransacked but nothing taken out of them. A clock was th« only thing taken from tbe office. The side window opening on the alley be tween the packing house and the cot tage adjoining, was raised and several hundred pounds of meat and lard passed through tbe window to a cart that had been pushed close up to the window.

SunBowers In the Pottltw Yard Sunflowers are a very good and oheap food for fpoultry, and are es pecially usefnl for feeding purposes at the time the hens are moulting. If planted in the yard iu which the chickens run, they will aflbrd some shade, and the hens will be pretty sure to get whatever seed falls from them if such shonld be the case. Uoplness in Milk, At a dairy in N e w York State they had trouble and suffered serious finan cial losses by their milk being ropy. After a while the cause of the contam ination was found to be located in the utensils used for holding the milk be fore and daring delivery. A remedy suggested was that the smaller uten- sils be totally immersed in boiling water for about three minutes, and that the larger cans be filled to the brim with boiling water for about the same length of time. The suggestion was carried out and the trouble disap peared immediately. UrlDB Tour Land Up With Clover, O n e of the very beat ways of bring ing land up to a payinp; standard is to seed it down with clover and then plow under the clover sod. L a u d so treated will produce a greater quan tity aud a better quality ot corn, po tatoes or any other crop than could possibly be done with commercial fertilizers or barnyard manure. One farmer has harvested 200 bush- ols per acre of good, sound potatoes on land where he had let the second crop clover die and plowed it under. H e claimed it was the clover that did it, and had ho not used it the crop would have been but a small one. The Frontfl ofGardenios. Num bers ot inquiries come to the editors of horticultural and agricul tural r-wspapers of gardening profits that may be m ade out of growing fruits and vegetables for market M u ch attention is paid to the charac ter of the soil, tbe climate aud the adaptability of varieties to these con ditions; bnt one essential is over all, and that is the marketing ot fruits and vegetables after they have b°en raised. Even when there are markets convenient, a person m ay be wholly ignorant of the methods of marketing. It takes nearly as m uch arc to know how to sell as it does to know how to raise the articles in the first place. In brief, the success of any proposed market garden plan depends as m uch .on the m an himself as on the natural conditions ot soil and climate.— M ee hau’s Monthly. Blrils Uelp tlio Farmer. William Dutcher, Treasurer ot the American Oruithoiogists’ Union, says: T he birds protect the farmer; they work for him more faithfully and con tinuously than any other helper he can get; let tbe farmer recognize this, and, in turn, let him protect the birds. It would be a wise invest ment in actual dollars and cents for every farmers’ club and institute iu this land to employ a naturalist to teach the names of the birds about them, and the part that each one takes iu the prsservation ot nature’s balance. I believe that w hen the farmers, their wives aud childran once become well acquainted with the good work the birds do in the m ead ows or orchards, the gardens and forests, it will be dangerous for any one to destroy one ot the feathered helpers. It has been shown that one pair ot robins will bring to their brood in one season more than three thousand worm s— cutworms and others. The robin alone saves to the farmers of the United States more than enough to compensate them for injury done by all other birds together. Thrushes land larks feed iu m uch the same way. ' T b e woodpecker is instrumental to a great extent iu preserving valuable {timber, for he is ever on the lookout ,!for wood boring beetles, wood ants land other insects which bore into [trees. T he sapsucker is condemned because of the injury he sometimes linflicts upon an apple ti*ee, bnt even jthen the good he does counterbai- lances this lesser evil. W h e n any of jthe birds are seen to be particularly !active and busy and present in large lUumbers, closer observation will re- 'veal the fact that some noxious insect is present in great num bers.— N ew York Tribune. M akioe a 'IVarm Bed. For years we m ade the good old /ashioued deep bed covered with boards and glass. This method proved lexpensive and laborious. Casting jabout for a better way we met an ex tensive sweet potato raiser of the Ohio ■River section. From him we learned ;he following method which we now ise exclusively and with perfect suc cess; ■ For ordinary family use, the bed phould be m ade about 10x15 feet. A (Pit this size and about six inches deep Ss dug. A n y rough boards m ay be jnsed for frame, which is m ade about 'Mghteen inches high and of course he same size as pit. This is built in , lide pit and when completed extends lone loot above tbe original surface of ithe ground. It is best to raise the -north side of the bed about four ,inches higher than the south side so !as to get better effects from the snn- jshine. The frame completed, then jbank up ou the outside to within one .inch ot Jtop, using tbe 'dirt that was thrown out of the pit - The bed is n6w ready for the manure, which shonld be of the kind ordinarily used t o this purpose. Fill in iibout twelve inches deep, tramping well. Then cover tb* manure with aboqt five iaohea ol-rioh dirt. T h e bed is complete; n o w t h e ^ T W . T w o gables are made, the oifly t i ^ bers required being good four stiff pieces about 2x4 aud seven or eight: feet long. These gable ends are! erected one at eaeh end of bed and at' an angle of about thirty degrees. Next, a strong wire is stretched from one, gable to the other at the top for a ridge pole. This wire extends on over each gable and down to the ground at. each end of the bed where it is secure-! ly staked. If put on properly, this, wire makes the gables very solid. The, bed is now ready for the oahvas.whiebj consists of extra heavy uubleaohedj muslin m ade just about the right sizej to extend from one side of the bed ■ over the ridge pole to the other side. • This canvas is tacked to the frame at: each side aud to the rafters at each end. Gables are covered with the same material. This muslin cover turns the rain, keeps out the cold, and', is almost as warm as glass. Itiscem-: paratively oheap and w hen beds needj attenion it need not be loosened ex-, cept at one corner. This bed we have found very satis, factory, and, if m ade the size recom-j m ended, it will produce, besides tho sweet potato, tomato, cabbage and' pepper plants, enough lettuce and beets for early family use.— H . E .’ Tweed, in Ohio Farmer. . Bees Beqntra Water. Almost as soon as bees begin flying in springtime, they will search for water. It is absolutely necessary that they have it w h en rearing brood. In preparing food for the young bees, they use water and houey, and if they are not gathering neotar from flowers, but are drawing on the honey in the hive, they must have water to dilntq it in the preparation of food for their young. W h e n bees are gathering honey from flowers, the nectar as the^ gather it contains a large per cent. oE water, and on this they draw theiP water supply, and are seldom ever^ seen at watering places during thisi time, but if the honey flow suddenly! stops, they m ake a grand rush for thel water to thus supply their large force ot hatching brood. Bees should always be supplied with a convenient watering place, and this should be as near the apiary as pos sible. Watering troughs tor stock, or large tanks of water is not a good place-for them to get water, as n u m bers of them are drowned iu such places. A salt barrel, or any barrel of light material filled with water, the watel: constantly and slowly soaking to the outside, makes an ideal water ing place for bees, bnt no opening shonld be left to admit of them f;et- ting inside the barrel. Pees also gather pollen largely in early spring, aud also during the entire season, and this also forms a part of the food made up ot water, honey and pollen, that they prepare for their young. Water and pollen gathering iu early spring IS the bees’ first work, and at this they m ay be kept busy for a m onth’s time, before any honey m ake its appearance in the flowers, or at least to any great extent Bees have been accused of gathering water at m ud holes and lilthy places, and thus contaminating their honey, but such is not the case, as every impurity is distilled and evaporated from their food or honey as it passes through their digestive organs, and nothing remains bnt ab solute purity.— A . H . Dufl', in Farm , Field and Fireside. Fulverizlng tlie Soil. Whatever other conditions i^ay be necessary to insure a good crop, the thorough pulverization of tbe soil is among the lirst O n e farmer in Ohio, who, w hen he first began farm- iug and was poor, bought a pulveriz ing harrow, giving his note for $50 for it, and wlio, as the result of the harrow’s work, raised' enough more wheat to pay for the harrow and leave him $10 more than the crop that that field had ever produced had ever brought I have had a similar ex perience in m y life. Like moat m en, perhaps, I was slow to adopt improve ments. Flowing and ordinary harrow ing of a clay soil was deemed suffi cient for the seed bed for wheat. Con tinual wheatiug the land in time be gan to have its effect upon the yield, but at this day I am willing to con fess that tbe land was not always as well prepared as it ought to be. Under certain conditions it is very often difficult to get a clay soil into good condition for the reception of seed. At all events I was raising on an average about fifteen bushels o^ wheat to the acre, and something had to be done. Fertilizers were con sidered and the abandonment of wheat growing was thought of. Ultimately,' however, a better preparation of the laud was discnssed,and the conclusion prived at that perhaps an investment in some better pulverizing implement than I had would be more economical than the application of fertilizers. This process of reasoning, so far as it may relate to the permanent increase ot fertility, is freely acknowledged to be fallacious. O f course, I m ake no attempt to defend the constant use ot land for growing a single crop, and no progressive farmer will do it The system is ruinous. Rotation, in which clover is a eonspicuous part, is the proper way to farm. But wo m ay have land that is the most fertile that the sun ever shone on, and if it is not well pulverized at seeding time we shall not get the full benefit of the fertilitv T he fertility that is locked up in a hard lump ot clay soil wUl remain locked up as long as the lumn re mains. However, I determined upon better preparation of the soU and purchased adisoharrow,withwhiehI “ «jratched”that ground as it ,had never before been worked.

MIDDLEBU3Y, Vt. (Special). — ®uD9tin Sbaw and his aon, Frank, who escaped from Woodsnock Jail on April 23, and who for days were hounded through the woods and mountains of Csatral Vermoot by armed ofllcers and citizens aided by blood hounds, and who in the course ot aight killed Deputy Sheriff HofTman of Windsor County, were captured In a swamp aboat four miles from Mlddlebury. They resisted the officers and citisens wUb Win chesters, and fourteen or fifteen shots were exchanged, when Frank Shaw foil with two bullet wounds in bis body aud his father surrendered. The young man was wounded snriously. Both were weak from lack of food and exhaustion. Nobody in the sioarching party was hurt. The prisoners were brought to jail here pending further proceedings.The Shaws hnd been tracked to the swamp by searchers who started from Mid- diebury upon receivlag news that tho men had stopped at a farmhouse a fow mllos from Middlet)ury to obtain food at about 2 o’clock a. m. In spice of the haudlcap of the later start, the pursuing party made good progress. They entered tho woods near the Seeley house, and began a sys tematic search of every part (or traces of the fugitives. The SUaws were too good as wooismen to leave a plain trail, so tho only knowledge possessed by the pursuers was the statement that they had taken a westward course after obtalniug food. In the forenooa what was thought to be traces ot the men were discovered le:iding toward the ncrtUwest. .Following in this direction several of thi searchers, w^th Deputy Sheriff Tlnlcham at their heels, came out into a pasture of thci Mlddlebury swamp. There was much watei< in the swamp, and beyond It was a cleat< patch of open ground. The Shaws were| seen slowly ascending a small hill. t Hurrying forward Deputy SherifT Tiuk*. ham shouted to the men to surrender. In reply the fugitives immediately raised their guns. Without waiting for furthei demonstration the firing was begun. 3Ior< than a dozen shots were exchanged before anybody was hit, and a moment lator Frank Shaw fell. This seemed to take the courage out of the older mao and he ceased firing. Tinkham hastened to where the men were, followed closely by the ethers of his party, and iu a moment had handcuffs on the elder Sbaw. The young man lay on the ground with blood marking two wounds, one in the arm and the other In the body near the heart. The capture caused much sat!s!action among those whc have participated In the chose day and night. The news that the Shaws had been taken aroused great excitement in town and hundreds of people witnessed the arrival of the officers with the prisoners and followed them to jail.

Salt Lake Cit i, Utah (Speelai).—A ter- .rillo explosion occurred in the wintei iquarters of tho Pleasant Valley Com- jPony-8 coal mine at SchoBeld, oa the Bio jQrande W eatern Railway, near Colton, jUtah, by which over two hundred people were killed and many injured. Scores ot •bodies have been taken from the debris- .The explosion Is attributed to the blowing .up of a number of kegs of blasting powder. The disaster appears to have been one ol those accidents that are occasional to the moat carefully regulated mines, and in spite of the best endeavors of the most sompetent superintendents. The State Mine Inspector is without the data to place the blame. The scene before the mouths of the tun- pels is pitiful, as usual in mining disas* lers, the weeping women and children waiting to see each man brought out of the mine on a stretcher. A special train conveyed tho seriously wounded from Scho- field to Salt Lako City. Workers on the outside at 10.15 o’clock a. m. saw the entire top of the mountain over the tunnel lifted and heard a loud re- port. Great masses of stone and tall trees were hurled hundreds ot feet Inthe air and fell in every direction, some of them ball ft mile from the mines. For many min utes debris fell, and then came complete Btillness. > i While It was known that an awful catas- .rophe had occurred, the scope ot the dis- Mter was not at first appreciated. All tbe jiamage seemed to have been done In tun* iiel No. 4. but a hasty investigation showed that No. 1, which adjoins and connects with It, had also been destroyed. ^ Telegrams were sent in every direction tor help, and responses were prompt. IVithin an hour after the explosion a bun- ired men were swarming into the wreck* ige. nnd more followed. Their fight was igalnst terrific odds, for tho blast had let loose volumes of gas, which choked the rescuers and frequently compelled them to desist from their efforts. Gradually, how ever, the air cloared away and the task became easier. Most of the miners were Utah men with families. One man named Filsou and his four sons were in tho mlno at the time ot the explosion. The three sons were killed outright and the father and other son fatally Injured. Among the known dead are Roger Davis, lack Wilson, S. T. Evans, Pete Crockett, John Anderson, James Wilson, Will Wil- stead, Andrew Huddowandson.

Philadelphia (Special).—Au executive officer of the Pennsylvania Ballroad, In stating tbe purpose of that company la acquiring control of tbe Long Island Boad, said that the traflic of Brooklyn, with Its more than 1.000,000 iobabltants, has been almost eollrelr confined to the East River front. All of the freight brought by the xallways to that city as well as that taken from there for distribution throughout the country has been carried on floats or light ers between terminal points of the differ ent rallwavs and the piers and freight yards along the East River. Not only, hesaid, are these facilities limited and crowd ed, but business and mauufacturinK industries have necessariW be»n eonflued to the very restricted district along the water. On the other hand, the tracks of the Long Island Railroad form a belt line extending nround the outskirts of the built-up part of Brooklyn from the Thirty-fourth Street Ferry to Bay BiJge, with linos Into the varioas centres of the city. These lines, he went on to say, afford the means ot establishing freight depots, yards for car- loadTlellverles, and coal and lumberyards couvenlently situated and of unlimited ca- paolty. They also afford opportuuitles, which will no doubt be extensively availed of. for the <»rectlon of manufacturies of all kinds renulriog direct rail oonnections.When the new freight terminus ot the Pennsylvaniii Rullroad at Greenville, asec- tlon of Jersey City, opposite Bay Ridge, Is completed, eonnectiou with the Long Isl and system will bo made at Bay Ridge by a comparailvely short car float ferry. Sleau- while the pre^jent transfor b:irges at Jersey Cliy will be used, but ultimately a tunnel from Stateu Island toJJav Ridge may be built. Iu that case traffic between tLo Pennsylvania Railroad lines and New Eng land would rasa through thetuunelaud over t»e Long Island tfucks and the pro posed bridge at Ward's Lsland to a connec tion xvith the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.There lius bnen nn thought of uslug Mon- tauk Point, the official concluded, as a ealllug port for steamers of the Amerlcau Line. As a matter of fact, he said, t!io Pennsylvania Railroad Company is not In terested as a shareholtler or otherwise lu tise luternational Navigation Company, or the “American Line,” as it Is usually called. It is not belioved that passengers would make the rail jo'iruey to .Montauk Point to save two or threa hours at the most when they can much more comforta bly board the steamers at the piers in New York City.

Concerning tile Inrentlon of an A inerlon Naval o m c r I.»l€l Before tlie Senate In Secret Se..lon—Projeotll. Fired ThroaeU Fourteen Inches ol Barveylzed Plate-Secret Well Guarded Washihoios, D. C. (Special).—Some facts almost startling in their importance bavo been laid before the Senate in secret iegis- latlve session at tbe close ot tbe regular open session. They related, It !a under stood, to the invention by a prominent offl- car of the United States Navy of a shel* superior In every essential quality to auy now in use by tiils or any other^Govem- ment. The quality of penetration possessed by the shell is said to be so great that no armor now manufactured in the United States or abroad bus sufficient resistance to withstand It. , »With ono of these shells, developed by the Naval Ordnance Bureau, a six-inch naval rifle plugged a clean hole through a plate of Harvoyized armor fourteen Inches thick. This marvelous achievement was witnessed by Assistant Sdcretury fiackett, for whom the trial was made at Indian Head. The guu was charged with smokeless powder enough to give the shell a ve locity ot 2530 feet per second, or twenty- five per cent, above ordinary proof veloc- itv. T?J0 facts, which wero In possession of only a few Senators, were deemed &o Im portant that the Senate decided to consider them in secret session. Mr. Tillman osked tor a secret session In order that t e might explain to tbe Senate why he desired tbe armor plate matter to be dhi- cui^sed In sec'ret.When the door.^ were closed, he explained that several days ago he had offered a res- olv.tion calling upon the Secretary of the Navy to send to the Senate for Us informa tion the details of test.",.made by the Department’s officials, ot armor plute at In dian Head. No answer to that Inquiry bai Q ^u received, and in all human probabil ity none will be recelvi'd.It seems that Mr.'Tillman called nt tha Navy Department, and was Informed that' it would be unwise at this time to make public tbo dotnlls of tbe tests he ha1 asked for, as it wonld place iu the hands, uot only of the Senate, but of reprcsenultve.s ot foreign Governments^ infonnation tiuit properly belonged exclusively to the United States.A prominent official ot the Navy Depart ment said it Is understood that the tests ol all sorts of armor, luchnJiag the Krupp armor, had been made, with a view of a^- certainingtiielrelToctlveness ajgainyt a new shell that had been Uivented by a i ofllcec of tlie navy. No piece of armor submitted to the test, it Is und»r.‘9tood, was able to wlthbtand the test. The shell, llred fron high-power (runs, penetrated the armor u!‘ most as bullets fired from n Kmg-Jorgmi sen rifle would pennlr ite green wood, t!i‘ : difference being that the armor plates spl^j , from the i)oint of impact. It is :jaid tbi was true of the Krupp armor, as well as o; the other armor tested. Feeling that more or lo.ss of tb-j lualtoi concerning the tests recently made by th? Government wonld be used In tbe dubat^ upon the armor question, Mr. Tilman sug« ge.4ted that it would be desirab!-3 to con^ slder the subject in secret. Th-* Seua(| agreed with him, and the armor-plato mut^ tfcr WU9 discussed behind closed doors. ' RIOTING IN ST. LOUIS. Striking Slreet CirJVIoti lT«e Cliib-t aud SloncB-^^Iatij' Arrc.Hts Made.

Wfc reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of the Republican party as set forth in the national platform ol 1S96. W e endorse w ithout condition and w ith enthusiasm the adm inistration ot P resident M cK inley,' and we instruct our delegates to vote tor his renoml- nation. E very sound th a t greets the ear and every sight th a t m eets the eye is au argum ent in favor of the continuance ot Republican policies now in success ful operation throughout tl'is broad land. As if hy magic, despair ha-s given place to Joy, distress has been converted into prosperity, and no sec tion has been m ore signally benefited than the South, and no part of the South m ore benefited than North Carolina. The Dpinocrats in our own State are left absolutely w ithout cause of com plaint against the national adm inis- Iration. and have been compelled to resurrect th e ghost of negro domina tion in order to distract public atten tion and if possible prevent our peo ple from endorsing at -ihe polls tho splendid achievem ents of W illiam Mc K inley in the execution of Republican policies a t hom e and abroad. In spite ot the official records which show th a t there has been no negro dom ination and no possibility of ne gro dom ination in the State or in any of it^ counties during tu e past quarter ot a century, the Democratic leader's have determ ined to wage tlie comiag cam paign upon the race issue alone, and they go before the people with a schem e 01 disfranchisem ent which is the m ost im pudent assault upon the C onstitution of th e United States and the m ost shocking act ot party perfidy ever attem pted by men who recognize the obligation of an oath or the sanc- *-• nf a public pledge. In the last camp.iign these Demo- eratic leaders published in their hand book. W'hich was distributed by ifloii- cT^'fls Throughout the State, tbe fol low ing explicit declaration and pro mise, to-w it: ‘•The C onstitution gives the right of suffrage to all imale persons over 21 years of age not disqualified by crime, and the legislature cannot add or take aw ay a letter from that. T hat can be done only by th e people, and the Dem ocrats will never subm it any proposi tion to th e people to take from a man his rig h t to vote.” They do not deny m aking this prom ise; they do not deny breaking it, and w hile it w as fresh on th eir lips, w ith out explanation, w ithout apology, w ithout rem orse, w ithout even the ex cuse cf necessity, they proceed t.r. sacrifice the victim s whom that prosn- Ise had deluded and they dare appeal to m en cf honor, even to the m inis ters ot th e God of Truth, to aid them in violating the tru th and to becomc parties to this m onum ental act of perfidy. These Dem ocratic leaders are kind enough to inform us that the legislature cannot "add to or takf aw ay a letter” from the qualifications of the voter, and yet they proceed tp pass an election law w hich by the double process oil “adding" and “tak ing aw ay” im poses an educational qualification w hich will disfranchisr as m any voters as the am endm ent itself. Thos they put into operation the very provision on w hich they invite the people to pass judgm ent; they ex clude the victim s intended for sac.rl- fice, and leave the election solely to these who are fortunate enough to br able to read the labels on the hallol box. They first condem n the illiter ates of both races, and try them after w ards. The hif^hest court in our State haa decided th a t provisions identical ip purpose and effect w ith certain parts of this election law are unconstitu tional, and th a t all proceeding ha-1 under such law s are null and void. . e therelfore w arn th e authors of this in fam ous, perfidious and invalid statute th a t they need not hope to enter the N ational Senate or H ouse of Repre sentatives w ith com m issions based upon such a law. L et them remembei- the fate of the U tah representative who attem pted to violate the compact upon which th a t S tate w as adm itted into the TInion—a com pact no morp solem n than th a t on w hich North C arolina was readm itted into the TInion. W e denounce, w ith indignation and abhorrence, the D em ocratic proposi tion th a t' the right to vote should be m ade dependent upon hereditary and thus build up an aristocracy of birth upon the ruins of free governm ent. ■We denotmce th e frauds, robberies violence and intim idation by m eans o' which the D em ocratic party carried the last election. W e point to tbe ex posure of these unlaw ful m ethods in th e contested election cases from thr- Sixth and N inth Congressional dis tricts now pending in th e House of R epresentatives and we confidently appeal to th a t body to set the seal of condem nation upon these crimes irrainst the ballot box, w hich if un- nunished a t hom e and unrebuked by Congress m ust convert popular elec- tioTis into a m ockery and a farce. N otw ithstanding the Democratic narty has a t all tim es in th e past bit terly denounced force billB, we call a t tention to th e fact th a t the preseuf "eneral A ssem bly passed an electlt»i 'aw which authorizes th e eanploymeni of over six election bilifTs at the polls arm ed .with deadly weapons instead ^f legal w arrants—for the sole pur- '•ose of intin ld atin ft the voters of the '’tate. W e arraign th e leaders of tha> •arty for em bodying in said >aw the •nost un.ln«t features of th e Kentucky and South C arolina law s by which ‘honeands of citiiens. both v ^ ite anS •ilaek. of thoe? States, have been de- nrived' of thn liberties jtuaranteer’ ‘><em by th e ConBtitotion of th e United ■5tates. T he adm lntstj^tinti ot th e affairs of 'to and of its •ereral counties inrtng four years of Republitan as cendency, has beenjBcrupulotaly clean. faitU tti a i ^ MOikOiUcal-... . D uring this period the credit of the State, as ghown by th e m arket value of its bonds, has reached the highest point know n in our history; and we challeage a com parison o t this reoori w ith th a t of the Democracy during any like period. The Republican party has always [ fostered popular education, th a t party engrafted in th e orBanic law of the S tate th e m andatory requirem ents providing public schools for both w hites and blacks, but th a t party will never brand ignorance as a crim e whoso penalty is disfranchisem ent so long as th e cause of th a t ignorance Is the neglect off the State, And w e do not believe th a t any m an. w ith the natural instincts ot a father, w ill vote to disfranchise his oHsprin® and de grade them to the level of a felon sim ply because he or his State has failed to educate such ott-spring, or because Providence has afflicted them w ith physical blindness for which this wicked schem e m akes no exem ption. W e can only judge the ffuture by the past; this is especially true w hen we study the value of Dem ocratic prom ises in th e light of th eir perform ances. They tell us th a t they are de voted friends of education; th a t their candidate for governor is its especial cham pion. The im partial hand of hi3 - I tory points to th eir record from 1870 to 1895, during which period they had uninterrupted control of th e legisla ture and during th a t quarter of a cen tury the num ber of illiterate w hite voters, instead of dim inishing, actu ally increased by m ore than tw enty thousand, being an average of about one thousand a year. The figures of i the census show the num ber of illit- ' erate w hite voters in N orth Carolina was in 1870, 33,111; 1880, 44,420; 1300. 49,570. By the census of 1890 the num ber cf w hite voters, who could read, but could no t w^rite, w as 13,000; so th at the total num ber of w hite voters liable to be disfranchised is C2,570. How, then, can we tru st these Dem ocratic leaders to wipe out illiteracy even am ong the w hites w ithin the next eight years, w hen their first step is to throw aw ay J100,000 a year of the school fund heretofore derived from the poll tax. W ith such a re cord in th e past, how can any m an e?:- pect their prom ises to be redeem ed at par. These m en have plunged the State into an evil course of w hich no m an sees or knows the end. The conse quences rest upon the heads of those who have tram pled under th eir heels the ancient honor of a sovereign State and the plighted faith of a great poli tical party. W e are opposed to com binations of capital w henever they become de structive of the rights of individual citizens. and such com binations should be suppressed by adequate statutes enacted by the legislatures of the several States, or by Congress if the resulting evils are beyond the power and jurisdiction of th e States. THE INDIAN CONQRESS.

It probably consumes more chewing tobacco per capita thau any other body of law m akers in the world. The low er house ot tlie Chero kee Congress has forty members, and it is presided over by J. S. D avenport, ;i w hite m an, who is a m em ber of the bar a t Vinlta. The president of the Senate is John L. G unter, the quarter- blood son of one of the oldest of the Cherokee fam ilies. The forty Coun- -•ilmen of tlie low er house, w hen in ses- iion, occupy a room sim ilar to the Sen ate cham ber, and the body is not Im- pre.sslve of dignity, although its ses sions are frequeutly very earnest, and iome of the law s it has enacted are in deed creditable. “The session of the council of the Chcrokees and the other nations ars al ways attended by .a sw-arm of lobby- sts. The litile hotels in the capital towus present a busy scene ou these jccasiono. The lobbyists never tire of Irafting liills for claim s against the l.nlted States, and olTering to collect these claim s for a contingent fee. The luuian, however, is usually as quick to discern an opportunity for a. cl.aim ts the shrew dest lobbyist. Politicians who ai'3 fam iliar w ith the poUtics of the L-aited States are more closely posted on th« doings and affairs of the Congress of the U nited States and the leijartm ents a t W ashington, than some of the full blood Indians of the Cliero- ieo tribe. Shrew d old W olf Coon ijoasts that he is fam iliar w ith every bill th at the U nited States has adopted with relation to Indian m atters in the last tw enty-five j-ears. “The Indians are very sagacious iobbyls»3 them selves, and they under stand dealing w ith lobbyists fully as well ail the legislators of some of the States. An instance of thi.s w as shown during the term of Samuel H ouston Mayes, as chiof of the Chero- kecs. Chief M ayes spbm ltted to the council an application from a railroad com pany for the right of w ay through the naUon’s lands. T he council took no notice of the docum ent, and the chief adjourned the session. W hen he had done this, some'”of the full blood senators and councilm en w ent to him and asked: “ ‘W hy did yon not give us tim e to pass the' franchise bill?’ “ ‘Yoti had plenty of tim e,’ the chief replied. “ ‘B ut w e w ere w aiting for the rail road com pany's lobbyists to see us.’ said the senators in chorus.” The tm ly am bitions w orkm an will work w ith good m aterials w hen he can but w ith poor m aterials fath er than w ith none.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Special.—Bryan was nom inated by the Populist Na- Uonal convention here by acclam ation. The com mittee on perm anent organi zation recommended Thom as M. P at terson, of Colorado, for je rm an en t chairm an; T. H. C ur/an, of K ansas; Leo 'Vincent, of Colorado, and E. M. Deisher, as perm anent secretaries. Mr. Patterson briefly sketched the history of the Populist party. Tihe speaker gave a short history of the financial legislation of Congress during the last adm inistration of Pres ident Cleveland, and that of Presldeut MoKlnley. "D uring this controversy,” he said, “the seed of the People’s party, which had been sown w ith 1892, began to bear fruit. T hat party believed then, and believes today, in the right of the peo ple to control the issue of their own currency w ithout dictation of W all street.” Mr. Patterson said the People’s party did not surrender its rights when it nom inated Mr. Bryan in 1896. "Wo never could hav5 nom inated any other m an,” he said. He predicted a sweeping trium ph for Mr. Bryan in November, and that his election would mean that the rights ot the people are advanced to a higher level than ever before. A conference of chairm en ot State delegations followed to discuss the vice presidential situation. Chairm an Patterson made a bitter argum ent against “repeating the fatal m istake ot four years ago.” Senator M arlon B utler strongly ad vocated a nom ination as essential to the w elfare of tiie party. A comprom ise proposition was subm itted by Geo. F. W ashburn, of M assachusetts, who advocated the nam ing of several men to be presented to the Democratic Na tional Convention, any of whom w'ould be acceptable to the Populists. There was considerable talk about a compro mise which it was hoped would be ac ceptable to the friends of Mr. Towae, and to tSose wlio are opposed to m ak ing a nom ination. This compromise Is to nom inate Mr. Towne and to ap point a com mittee to subm it his name to the Democratic N atiunal Convention Mr. Towne to w ithdraw in case the Democrats do not accept No conclu sion was reached. w : .T. Bryan was put In nom ination by Senator Allen, seconded by General W eaver and others. "Mr. Chairm an,” interrupted Sena tor Alien, am id perfect silence, “I move th at ti e rules of this convention be suspended, and that W illiam Jennings S ryan be nom inated by acclam ation for President of the United States.” As one man, the convention arose.

(Contiuued from last week.] Ton know that in carefully writ- imopirion*, tb«se great constita lional lawyers have declared that Ibis amemlment is nnconstitutional that flection 3 will fall, leaving sec I ^ to stand. You know that if tbesc gw t lawyers are right that I'mdthisaniemlnient, assure a“ I Jim is a God-ill beaven will re- ia dlBfraachising fifty or sixty ttousaud white voters in Iforth Carolina, who are as l.rave citizens »M as good patriots, as live in the , Sw old oommonwealth. Are you afraid fur these voters to hear 'M opinions of these great coastl wtioDa' lawyers! Are you not.a, |raid that tic people will be m<»re ‘otliBrt iaitielieve not only in the M Anity of theeeg«rf lawyen^, ™ also in their sineertty,.tha»- to “ lieve iu the 1 ^ 1 eflsit.'DS and iiKSnt.r of yon. and othei jwliti- i«ans whn seeking office and wbo “ '■e a selfish interest in hiiviug “■“ amendmeat adwpted. the owner of assessed property. Your pnrpo^ in this is to ti^' to bribe the voter not to vote, apd j'et take the money out of the «chooI fuml to bribe him with. This will greatly lessen the school fund in North CaroliDit, unless it is made up by greater tiixation upon properly. Befide?, do you not know if this amendment should be atlopte<l. that at oQce the cry would go up from all of the negro calamity how ling poiiticiaijs of the state t hat it will not do to increase taxation in order to increase the public school fa<;ialties, because of every dollar 8 0 raised for public edmsition, an equitable share must sro to the negro schools, and tims cach ye.ir edui.-ate more negroes and increase the number of negro voters, You for ballot box stuffing and fraud the other for a free ballot and a fair count. There are nuniirons provisions in this election law, including the unlimited power given to registrars and ti^e denial of the right of ap peal from their decisions, however unjust; the denial to "pposing jwlitical parties of any i-epr^enta- tion on tht election boards of tbeir own seU'Ctioa; the unlimited powt er given to an election.board, all of the same party, to pat a thous and or more voters into oce pre cinct so as to make it impossible for even half ol the voters of sach precincts to cast their ballots dar ing the whole day of the election; none of which provision can t>e en dorsed, sanctioned or toleiated by any mau unless he is in favor of thwarting and overturning the will of the people by force, by fraud and by corruption. _ There is an other provision providing for the appointment of a vast number of constables or bailiHs and giving them the power to arrest any voter with,out Warrant, and hjld him up der a r ^ t until after the election, thus depriving him not only of his liberties but of his right to vote- This provision is more odious and outrageous than the infamous fed eral force bill. But there is another provision iu tbis dangerous and unfair elec tion law that you es^cially fear, for the honest aiid fiiirminded peo ple of all parties to be iol'ormed of in this eami^ign. That is, the provision, which denies to the illit erate voter the right to require the officers of the election to take his six ballots and deposit each one in the proper box. H ow cantheillit ei-dte white voter ciist his vote and liave it counted under this provis- iouJ Every white voter who can not read, his ballot and read the name on each one of the six i>allot bo.xcs will lose his vote, because you have so fixed the law that you can throw oat his vote if it is not iu the right box. This provision is intended to dis- fianc'iise the illiterate white voiers in the coming campaign. You knov,but you do not want the peo pie to know, that you are going to do iu the cuniing election under tiiis electioii law, vh;it you are now promising the amendment will a i t d o -th a t is, to disfranchise the 1 trouble of any kind, we do illiterate white voter. W e especially desire a joint d is cussion before the people of the state in order that the houest ijiass- es may learu the truth and have a clear understanding of the iniquit ous provisions of this election law SO that they may have an oppor tunity to petition the legislature at its June session, to repeal, or am end it in many important particu lars, before the election is held. W hile you claim that you waiit , 3 , **0 y«tt «ot io o w that n<Tt) tiadef "I"!

Thus the proposed amendmcot if adopt ed, instead of being a stimalus to public education, will be used to drive the nail in the coffiu of the public schools of NortL Carolina. You know all this very well, but ypn are afraid for the voters of North Carolina to Know it, and this is one of your real and great est reasons for running from ajoint discussion. Again, you are afmid for it to be shown in Joint discnssiou what is the effect and purpose of the provision to require pall taxes to be paid by the first of March of each year, You know that this provision will be used to disfran- c ise mituy thousands of white vot ers. Yon are also afM d for the demo cratic voters of Ifortk Carolina .to hear discussed and explained the constituiioiial amendment to pre vent negroes from holding office, which the peoples party con veution offered in !•«* of your disfranchis ing schem a Y^pn know tiiat the ameudmeat o ffe^ l by (he people's party is constitntiouul, and yon know futb^i- that it will do more tosettle tbera'*e question in Koitn Carolina tiiau the amendment pro- posed.by you and you know father thatrtiiere is no danger in it to a single white voter in the state; and li^ d es you know that the propo sition to preveiit the negro from holding oUicc by a coustitutioual ameudniejt is not only the best thing to be done, but that is the only thing that can be done as long as the fifteenth ameudmsnt to the constitution of the 1'nited State.s stands. You are afraid for the democratic voters to hear these two measares discussed and contrasted and this is another one of your great and real reasons for fearing a joint debate. In my letter to you of April 20th I asked for a joint discussion also on the present election law and other issues. In your reply, you say that the clcction law is not an iMije, and that the amendment is the only i^ue, yet you are afrjiid for the people to hear even that measure discuSswl fairly and hon estly in joint debate on every stump iu the state. I understand thoroughly that >^f you could have your' way you would not have any issne% discuss ed, but Would run the whole cami- paign by an appeal to prejudice and passion, and by resort to red shirt rnffianis-ji and . brute force wherever you dale to resort to such methods. I understand thoroughly that you wish to divert attention from the record of the present legisla ture, especially the greai and ex- travigant expenditure of public money, and the enactment of m ire blunUeriiig and unconstitutional legislation than auy former le/is- lature was ever guilty of iu the history Of the jstate. I underataud thoroaghly that foti are most anxious to draw at tention from, anJ to avoid discuss- iou of the monstrous provisions of the present infamous election law which bears yonr name, a law the provisions of which I do not be lieve a single honest man in the state will endorse or tolcnite when he understands the uses you in tend to make o f it. You seem t§ think that politicians tan make issnes and set them aside as itsuits their convenience, but permii me to-remind you that you will learn before this campaign is over that the present election law is one ot the gi-eat and overshadowiiig iss ues iu this campaign in spite of your desire to keep it iir the back- cronnd. Yon have doubtless felt the sting of the denunction, by n.any men in your own party of this undemocratic and dishonest election law, and therefore you had vour state convention to endorse it W as to make your party associates r t a i e its iodittji W itt you -O i tWe o ta ^ jiandthe people’s n o r tv ^ te conTCBtiou ^Tgoroosly ^ndthus the awake these hot days by Mr. Goe bel Simmons nigger sqnallers. “ A fools errand,” which will cost lota of money and much valuable tim e, but what does Simmons care for these if he can only succeed in de ceiving the people, as he did in 1S9S, Thereby taking in the offi ce?,; the rig -.tsani litierties of the people are of little moment to the Divine Rulers, when the question of making North Carolina ever lasting Democratic is one and the only issue. W e are not going to fill up our paper with such stuff a.s was dealt out so freely 1-Ast W ed nesday, but while we are comment ing on the subject, we will rofer to some of the thrusts made at Be- puulican officials. We were inform ed that Bepublican revenue officers and post master:, weregiven a dose, accused of attempting to deceive the people, a nice charge lor a Simmons Democrat to make, there need be no deception used this year by Re publicans. If they will only pro duce Mr. Simmons speeches, and 1S9S campaign articles and docu ments, and hold them up to a Democrat, the question of wno has done, and who is now doing the lying, will l)e answered. W e have no desire to tell anything but th e truth, and when we tell you of the promises made two years ago by the Simmons Democrats, and show you what they have sin^e done, and are now trying to do, yon will have the case put sa plain ly, that a fool neeJ not err therein. We are not going to tolerate East ern methods np'here and it matters not how many Kitchens are sent up here, you are uot gi>ing to steal onr birth right b.v your force. fi-.iud and intim dation methods. W e of your neighbors and yonr chil dren. “ Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” uot propose to trejpiss I'pou the rights of others, but our own rights audlibirties are as dear to us ss yours Mr. Democrat, and we prc pose to stand up for them to the last ditch. Consistency is said to be a jewel, and in conclusion we want to show our re;vders how in consistent the Democratic party is on this negro qnestion, below we white suprem:icy in the state, yet i evidence against them, von are afraid for all of the winte | J ., , 'people to hear boch sides. You I See Senate Journal 1572 and 18,3. are atraid that you could not con- j page 7. The Senate was Democrat- trol the rank and lile of the demo- ic and when the election of an as- cratic party by appe-als to .passion j ^o^,rkeeper for the Senate and prejudice, if they kijew the truths and the facts which you are now hiding from them. In conclusion permit me to say that iio one ku>>ws belter than yourself that if the pe pie should liear the above questions discussed iu joint debate, that they would and yonr patry came ip Sejator Lo e, placed in nominaciou Guilford Christmis of Warren, a negr'’; Senator Eespe.ss placed in lom nation Jotin F .

Truth is mighty and will prevail, and the deception thats attempted by these single barrel fellows w^ill react mightily against (heir course.

P. Thomp* sou, the Havana Postmaster; W. H. Reeves, Deputy Auditor of the Island, and Edward Jloya and Jorgo Mascaro, Cuban clerks In tho stamp department, andall were lodged 111 the Yivac, the Xombs of Hjivana. This was done under tbe advico of tho Postal Inspector?. Before his arrest Postmastor Thompson confessed tho misappropriation of $433 and other irregularities. Thompson made a sworn statement to one of the Secret Ser vice officers. He said that in April, 1899, he neo<lod mouoy for bis own use aud took *45j from tho money order nc* count, depositing his receipt. When tlie next inspecUon of tbo Postal De*purtiuent by spoclal agonta was mad© be,boiug unable to repay the money, ordered the dork iu charge of the money order re* coipts to withdraw his personal receipt aud substittito *435 lu cash which bad been re ceived that day aud which would not have to be accounted for until tho next day, TlJo inspection was safely passed when his personal reccipt wont back and the money came out again. By this melhod hosuc- ce.«srully eluded detcctiou during several iuspectiuus.In April, throuirh a failure to carry out this plan, tho discrepancy was discovered. It was reported to Director of Posts llath- bone that Thompson had paid tbe ij!433. and nothing furthe-r was done. Thomp* sou (loos not say in his statoment where ho got tbe money to make the refund, but ho does admit that just at this timohe <ke\v a note for $359, which Neely indorsed and the North American Trust Company discounted. It is supposed that he usel this money to mako his shortage good. Thompson also confesses that iie man- i[)ulated tlie stamp accounts. He admits having changed balances without the knowledge of Director Rathbouo. Hesaya this was irregular, but denies tbat there was anything dishonest in the motives guiding him. There is nothing to show that Jie acted iu collusion with Neely Iu 'anything. He denies, lu fact, any knowledge of Neely’s acts. Tho arrest of Mr. Thompson caused greut surprise iu the city. It Is lookod upon as the precursor of many other arrests. General Wood felt, as did the Postal Inspectors, that it would be better to have the suspected persons arreste:! and to give them an opportunity to obtain bail than to keep them iud'jflnltely under close super- .vlsion at a tlmo when tho detectives are Ijadly needed for other work.: Four postofllce auditors have arrived herefrom Wushlugton and at once begaa ;an exHminatiou of tho dopartment’s ac< counts.

Bryan is snfferiug from a severe sore throa^ aud has been almost unable to speak during his tour of Paoifio Coast cities. W e re- p e t M r . Bryan’s physical misfortune, but cauuot but feel that he is alone responsible for his condition, tt seems Wholly natural that a sore throat Would at least ensue (fom an effent to get such queer doctrines as he is preaching into the form of speech; M r. Bryan has been delivering ad- i^esses in Oregon and Washington. W e have no way of judging his-posi tion, exM pt from his public utter, ances. These are supposed to have a meaning, otherwise a phonograph would serve his purpose and save hin.\ „ the physical weakness he is now Buffering. L et us examine his doc trines in the light ot extracts from the speeches he has been m aking in W a sh ington. “ T he Bepublican party has done nothing since 1896,” says Mr. Bryan. It is hardly possible that M r. Bryau expects thinking people to Swallow such palpable absurdity. T h e Be* P^ublican partyhas passed the Dingley Tariff bill, mastered the markets of the world, started the furnaces in the idle mills ot the -nation, passed the financial bill, freed Cuba and con quered Spain. O f the minor achieve ments it is not necessary to speak. A m an who professes to speak honestly earns a sore throat when he makes such absurd statements. Again, M r. Bryan says; “ The Ee- publicau parly dare not measure life by trade; they dare not riieasure a quart of blood by the dollar.” N o one but M r. Bryan has had the hardihood to suggest that any Ameri can citizen wants to measure life by the dollar. This talk sounds very m uch like “ the cross of gold” style of oratory used by Jlr. Bryan four years ago in appeals to the prejudices of, the' unemployed, who have since found ample employment under R e publican administration of national affairs. “ I am opposed.” says M r. Bryan, '•to admitting 10,000,000 Malays to imerican citizenship.” So is every other honest American. The Democrats are trying to extend the Constitution over the new posses- tious and thus make citizens of the Malays. The Kopablican xiarty i^ op- ising the very thing that Mr. Bryan denouncing. B ut here is one of M r. Bryan’s fa- rorites: “ To-day we are drifting away from th e D eclaration of Independence to m onarchy.” T he m an who deliberately uses the word “ monarchy” in connection with any possible fntnre ot tho United States must be branded as a dem a gogue, pore and simple. The time has passed in this country when the voters ca'U be fooled by such utter ances. T he American citizen is al ways ready to listen to appeals to his intelligence, but he cauuot ba fooled by such claptrap oratory, even from 90 eminent a source as M r, Bryan. Mr. Bryan’s utterances are an insult to the intelligence and patriotism of the American people.— Denver Times. THE OLD STORY. Deuiocratft Iteljlns on a Repetition of the Stapendoas Folly of 1893, Senator 3. E . Jones, chairman ot ;the Democratic National Committee, 'says; “ The conditions now remind m e of the conditions in 1892 more than anyother time I have ever seeu.” T h e Senator appears to find satisfac tion in this fact, his satisfaction being based largely on the circumstance .that the country elccte J the tree trade bandidato in the election of that year. If Chairman Jones were a m an who reasoned deeply, however, he would Jiave quite a different feeling in re spect to the situation. T he resem blance between 1892 and 1900 con sists iu the fact that both of these years mark the periods of wonderful irosperity. A n d . incidentally, it may re remarked that there is a further resemblance in that both yeais are years having a protective tariff in force. There is a fundamental differ ence, though, iu this— viz., that in 1900 the people have the experience of 1892 to guide them. In 1862, c onfldent in their business success and prosper-' ity, they risked an experiment with free trade, having been assured by M r. Cleveland and hia supporters that the adoption of that policy would in crease their already remarkable pros perity. H o w far short of fulfillment those promises fell the people of the country, w ho struggled through four years of free trade niisgovernment and through the hard and poverty- Btricken daya of the Wilson law.know. T hey are not likely to walk into the same trap again. T h e very fact that business conditions now are so like those of 1892 is the strongest reason w hy the voters will not do as they did in 1892. T hen they threw oway their prosperity; now they want to keep it. Therefore they will vote to keep the protective tariff. Chairm an Jones would do well not to lot hope run too high. It is bound to have a fall. Flrat Get tlie Facts StralRlit. It is • question how m uch of ihe popular feeling on this subject has been worked up secretly by certain commercial interests, which had pre pared for a handsome spcculntion by accumulating a stock ot Porto Bican products, whose American price woiild be increased by the abolition of duties oil imports for that island. Tlio only people really interested are those who brought up sugar and tobacco, and w ho areholding them for tho rise that would follow such a law; and the only stagnation of trado is that caused by this Belfiah interest. It is just as well to got the facts straight before rush ing off into a sentimental outoiy against the President in this'matter. ToleiJo Blade. Eight mlUions a year Isn’t enoneh for Emperor William.

IN the Fw rn, Field and Fireside, writes E . P . Gibbs, of Hardesty, M d ., I notice an article by 0 . S. Bunstine, Oklahoma, headed, “ Doubtful About Wide-Tired Wheels. Now , speaking from the standpoint of a farmer, I not only consider that the farmer that uses wide-tired wheels benefits himself, but is also a pnblia benefactor, by helping to m ake better roads. Tlie wide tire packs and smooths the moderately moist ground, ■while the narrow tire will cut up and render the same ground almost im* passable. I had, a few years since, a Jarge lot of manure that I wished to haul across a piece of cornstalk land in the spring that was quite soft. W e commenced with our narrow-tired farm wagons, as I had no other. W e hadn’t hailed a dozen loads until the boys were getting stuck with about every load, and I saw we either had to stop haul ing or get a different wagon. I bor rowed a four-inch tired wagon of a neighbor, and we had no trouble get ting over that soft gi'ound at all. O f course, it does not matter so far as the wheel cutting into the ground, whether the wheel is a high or low one, but one m an can go out and put a load of hay on a low-down wagon as easily as two m en can put the same load on a high wagon. A load of fodder the same. It is easier to put n load of manure, gravel, wood, or any thing jb1s3 that I can think of on thii low wagon than on the high one, and' just as easy to get it off, unless it is s' load of grain that has to bo shoveled away up. I will venture this assertion, that fV m an can have two wagons on the. farm! — one a wide-tired, iow*down truck,' the other a narrow, high-wheeled wagon, and he will hitch on to the low, wide-tired wagon ten times to the high one once. I will admit they run bad on the road where nothing but the narrow tires are used, as they are constantly cutting the side ot tho rut. In some localities they are using so m any of the wide tires that the rut is cut out the proper width for them; in that case they run, in m y opinion, m uch easier than the narrow tires, and in some localities that I know of they think it would be well if the State would hold out some induce ment for people to use the wide tires, so that in time they would all be wide tires. I think this might be done by the State offering to refund the district road tax to any m an using a tire not’ leas than four inches, then when a man had to bay a new wagon it would be an object for him to get the wide! tires. In a short time there would be more wide tires on the road than nar row tires. After that, I think the bounty could be taken off. I am now using a six-inch low wooden wheeled truck that cuts under, so you can turn square around, and I would not ex change it for any four high up, nar row-tired wagons 1 ever saw, if I had to keep and use them. Ot course, it runs hard when the ground is very soft, but I can go with it where you could not go at all with the narrow tires, I think there has been less im provement iu the farmer’s wagon in the last fifty years than any other one thing the farmer has had to use. It has no spring, it wants oue-half an acre to turn it,around, aud the sooner the old style foi-m is done away with, the better it will be for the .farmer and every one else .^'jit has to travel tho roads. ,, Much 'Work For Goofl. llqadf. N o w that tho League of American Wheelm en has abolished its racing department every attention will be given the other branches of work. The most important of these is the highnay improvement department, in which is entrusted the work iii behalil of the good roads movement, which was started by the L , A . W ., and! which has beeu constantly agitated bjj it for almost twenty years. Thej League has m ade rapid strides in this movement, particularly during tho past year, bnt the racing question has reflected upon this as upou all other departments, the belief being des- seminated that none of the, brauohes of League work could be m ade effec tive until the racing question was settled. The most important work aceom. plished last year was tho holding;o| m any good roads conventions: in var ious States, the introduction of high way improven^ent measures in m any of the State Legislatures and the' evolution of the movement to national proportions, as was evidenced by the bill introduced iu Congress calling for an appropriation of $2,000,000. Constitutional amendments were car-; ried in Michigan and Minnesota, and a large amount of education on the subject was circulated by the League. All of this work will be continued during the present year, but upou a m uch larger scale than heretofore. T h e C ai'o of A lacadaui. A macadam road, properly built and ■with proper slope to each side, will readily drain off water aud snow. The object of all road experts is to so cou- struct a macadam road that water can-, not permeate it. If water is allowed to find its way through the macadam I'oad into the foundation below, it is sure to work mischief; and if the road 'is then subjected to any considerable pressure from the wheels of heavily loaded wagons, it is certain to give sway. Hence, the proper maintenance land care of a macadam road are as im portant as its proper constrnetion. ;If once the road be damaged in this iway, the work of destruction is bound to continue. It is, therefore, as im portant to prevent this first damage as it is to preventi the first small hole in a dam , ___________ See T h a t W ork !■ Well Done* Taxpayers, who are obliged to con’ tribute to the cost of m acadam roads, iwill do well to see to it that the work is properly done.

They tried to fool and scare the people there, jnst as they are doing here, by telling them before tLe election that the a menilment was' unconstitntional and threatened the people with the United States Court, but the peo ple paid no atteatiou to them—as they will ijot here—aud when the amendment was adopted there, nothing more was lieard of the cry about the ameudmeut’s being un- couBlitntional. 11. Q- You say au election has been held in Louisiana under this amendment! A . Yes. Botb State'and Con gressional elections- 12. Q And the Republicans did not take it into the court! A .

W e want our friends to take patic- entire eont«nt9 of this Simmons | uHr noticeof the dates, for wc pur pose showing you that tUis circul ar gotten up by the Democrats and dhtributej over the country, con tains lalsehoods, intended to de ceive and mislead the people. This circular siy.-s that the last state and national election (which was heid in 1898,) were held under the constitutional amendment, “'Y«s lK)th state and cougression.il elections.” Xow to prove that tlie 180S election was not held un der the provision of this ameqd- I ment, I am going to give you Dem ocratic authority. The North Car olinian published at Raleigh 3Iay 17th 1900 which is brim full of the operation of the Louisiana amend, ment, shows that this campaign circular is a lie. Judge Krutts- ehnitt siiys: “ W e h a v e held ONE ELEOTIOS TJSDEE THE PEO- VISOX OF OUB PRESENT CONSTITU- THE ELECTION FOK eiruhir but we want to call your attention to some things in the por tion we print. Mr. Sinmions says: “ It is teuk, boy.s who beco.me OF AGlt 4 F T E B 1!)0S WILL HAVE TO BE ABLE TO READ AND IVEITE.’’ “ An honest confession is «ood for j the soul” So when Hcpulilieans i tell yon that this amendment will disfranchise white as well as biack they are not telling yon a lie eh? But Boss Simmons goes a step fur ther and says. “ Bnt after the a- mendment i^ adopted the iitate will { appropriate money enough to ena ble every l>ay to educate himself.” Ah indeed; >Vhy did they uot .'ippi'oprittte enough to ediic-atc the pi>or lioys betore now, tlieipoor boys who have grown up iu ignoi-ance ; under Democi'aiic rule audioday ’ I have to make their mark! Do you believe it poor white men of Korth Carolina! Do you believe the pro]>erty holders will submit to au increase of taxation in order to ed ucate yonr poor boys. Brer Sim mons is powerful good aad kind says was held under tne new con- stitntional amendment, there were 37596 registered white voters, a falling off in one city of 8311 white registered votera. Ai-e there any white men disfranchiH^ in Louis- ianal It looks like about 8311 were cut off in one city. Now lets take the state elections, the fir^t held under this amendment on April 17th 1900, there were 37401 white registered votei-s in New Orleans, and out ot 60084 legister- ed voters in New Orleans in 1896 only about 21,000 votes were cast on April 17th 1900. ISow they have an nnfair partizan el3Ction law in Louisiaua, and according to Joey Daniels own figure.s, there were 39084 voters who did not par ticipate in the state election on April 17th 1900, and it you will] deduct the negro registered vote of 1.S96 from the above you will find that 24907 whitej failed to vote iu 1900 in the city of New Orleans. Are any white folks disfranchised iu Louisiana! Now according to Joey Daniels, over eight thonsivnd v.'bites failed of registration in New Orleans alone and over twenty four thousand failed to vote. Anj' white folks Io.siug their votes- in Louisiana eh? Joey sees that these figures make a bad showing for the amendment and election laws ot Louisip.na. So he comes forward with this explanation, Bead it ye white men of N^rth i Carolina. “Tbe elimination of these thousands of illiterate for eigners,” voting upon declaration of intention only accounts for the falliug ofl' of the white Registra tion in Louisiana.’. So the white vote did fall ofi', and Joey lays it ou the foreigners. If they carry their del ilish scheme iu North Car olina ne.xt August we wonder what will be hatched up to account for j the white disfi-anchisement in thia state? Take these figures poor white men of North Carolina, and think and vote as tree men, iu fav or of freedom, justice aud liberty, i one aud insoperable no n- and for ever. W HY CEBTAIXLY. is Snake time'Jnow, and its danger- j ous to put the remedy two far from ■ a fellow in an extrem ity.’W e hope i everybody vflll be saber honest and upright, and w e expect to lend our influence in the promulgation of these doctrines. And if some of onr good Demo cratic friends will get up a peti tion to the Simmons legislature which as.sembles iu June request ing and urging them to so amend that Goebel Simmons election law, so that it will require the judges of election to deposit the ballots of the poor unfortunate illiterdte vot er in the proper ballot box and count his vote as cast, we will sign the petition with the gi-eatest pleasure, believing that we will be doing an act of justice to our unfor- tunaCe fellow man, upon which the God of justice and mercy will smile approvingly.

Here is what thi‘4'Registration officer told the United States Senator on April 26th 1900. “ There has been no election held under the present conititutional amendment in Lou isiana nntil the State election held last week. (April 17th 1900.) The present congressmen from Louisiana were elected befoi% the amendment went into effect. I was one of the Registration officers in the election of 189S and know the facts to be as stated.” With These facts, does any fairminded man doiibt for one moment! This i b a homely expression, but so per tinent that w c will beg pardon for losing tiiiBse machine Demo crats have decided lo lie like the devil and stick to it, 1>at no doubt Joey Daniels had foi^otten this circular in far off Louisiana so he unwittingly aided us in exposing I their own i>erfidy. Joey Daniels further shows that in New Orleans ia 1896 there were 4.’5907 white voters registered and 14177 colored, a total of 60084 registered vcters in the c-Uy ot New Orleans. Now what do we find in the city elec tioHS in Novemli^f 1S99, which he It Wiis noticeble that when thei speakers referred to the amfeudinent j as disfninchising poor white nieu' there wiis uo applause. Every body is learning, even the most ig norant that such a falsehood is en tirely too thin to conjure with auy longer, No man who has ragard for truth will make the Htatement. —Wilkesboro Chronicle. It is strange how some people can tell a thing so often, with not a' semblance of truth in it. Our Democratic friends caufc and dont deny that they pledged and prom- i.sed the people iu 1898 that tbe.v would uot even attempt to disfran. chise anylwdy if they were elected, W'hj' they said tney would spit upon a man who would offer such a proposition. Has anybody heard of their spitting on Simmons and that 1898 legislature! They ought to be spit upon atd drowned for their perfidy and dishonor. Now really Bro. Deal, what are you going to have your legislature iu June to amend your amendment and instruct the supreme court not to allow it to disfranchise .anyj white voters for, if it is constitu-; tional! If your able lawmakers; know it is constitutional, why i don’t you stand by them and Iw vel it as it is? No you are aware that It is io conflict with the constitu tion of the United States, and you have also found out that the peo ple. the great common people have caught on to your racket and are going to repudiate the rascality of | the Democratic machine, and y o n ! are catchinj! at a straw like the: drowning man, but its 1«m) late to , save you, the whirlpool has struck you. and the honest, liberty loving yeomanary of North Carolina are going to give your crowd a decent bural in August, “Your sins have found you out.” The Morning Post of May 22ud in giving an account of Aycock at Dobson says, that Spencer B, Ad - ams the Repudlican uominee for governor lead the procession, car rying a United States flag, and would support the amendment.” This is one of the campaign false hoods. Judge Adams was not in Surry couuty and is jniaking speeches all over the state against tho amesdment.

An Action Will Bo B«can to Pr«Tontth« Ice Trust From Dolnff BailneH In New York Slate-A iiertionTIm t »Ude Prices Were Doubled W ithont Anj Ostensibly Jnst Cause. Kew Yoek Cits (Special).-Attorney-Gea- eralJ. C. Davies has announced hU decis ion in tbe proceedlnprs against the Ice Trust Company. He decides tiiat tlie American Ice Company is an unlawlul combination, conducting its business In restraint and violation of law and against public policy , and be will commence proceedings to pro hibit It from doInR business in this State. In bis decision tbe Attorney-General saya: **Upon a careful consideration of tbe petition, affldavits, arguments and all the papers submitted upon the hearing in the above en titled m atter, I am satisfied that the A m erican Ice Company is an unlawful combination, conducting its business in re straint of trade, in violation of law and against public policy. ^ ^“ The Knickerbocker anrt Consolidated- Ice companies are tbe principal constituent companies of tbe American Ice Company.. “It is evident that, prior to Marsh 11, lB9d, when the American Ice Company was incorporated, there was an arrabgement bfetween these companies by which tfaeydl- Tided the territorv between themselves In which they were to do business. The Con solidated reserved to itself the city of New York and practically controlled tho trade in that city. The Knickerbocker reserved to itself Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and the Eastern States. By an ar rangement betw63n the two. neither invaded the territory of tbe other. “Prior to Mirch 11, 1899, tnese two companies agreed to combine their interests - and thereby control, under one company, the entire territory, and thus enabled tbemselves to monopolize the ije business in those territories, to acquire or to crush out' of existence tbe other competing com panies which had not already been absorbed by them respectively, and 'to limit the production and flx the price of Ice,“Ice being a necessity, competition in its production and sale was thus to a great ' extent, if not wholly, destroyed.“ Tbe direct result of this eombinatlon was that the .A.merlean Ice Company, very soon after Its formation, raised tho price of Ice in the city of New York 100 per cent.• over the price of last year without any ostensibly jest cause."Any agreement or understanding be* ^/eea competing companies of tbe charac ter complained of is clearly In violation of the laws of this State and against public r ’lL v e therefore come to the conclusion that it is my duty to commence proceedings against the American Ice Company to prohibit it from doing business In this State.”Fearing exposure of their extortionate juetbods, and desirlngto keep out the light of publicity as long as possible, the directors and officials of the American Ice Com pany, who are charged with conspiracy, .waived examination before Magistrate iZeller and asked to bave their cases sent ibefore tbe Court of Special Sessions. Tbe Magistrate declined to accommodate them, . jbowever, and held them in $2000 bail each 'tor the Grand Jury. The defendants so held are: Charles >7: Morse, President; John D. Scboonmaker, Vice-President; JohnB. Bennett, Jobn L. Eavanagh, Wesley 21. Oier, David Hunt, £dwin Campbell, lObarles Devoe, Charles B. Church and John Bauer, Directors.

The Firm Had l.aree Holdings of Cotton In the Face of a FalllnR M arket—Had Customers All Over tho Country— Failure tbe Largest in Many Years— F inn Assigned W ithont Preferences. New YoaK City (Special).—Price, McCor mick 4 Co., members of the Stock, Cotton and Produce exchanges of this city, and of the Chicago Board of Trade, bave an nounced their inability to meet their en gagements, and have suspended with lia bilities of $13,000,000, “nearly all of which,” so an official statement says. “Is well secured.” The firm made an assign ment, without preferences, to William J. Curtis. Tho firm was long of cotton in the face of a fast falling market. The firm of Price, McCormick & Co. is composed of Theodore H. Price, W. G. Mc Cormick, R. M. Stuart-Wortley, Walter W. 'Price and George Crocker. The last named 'is u member ot the well known California family, and was a special partner in the firm to the extent of $500,000. Mr. Stuart- Wortley is an Englishman and is a son-in- law of Rear-Admiral Schley. Mr. McCormick is a nepnew of Cyrus McCormick; of iMcCormlck mower and reaper fame, and )is a resident of Chicago, i In point ot liabilities the failure Is the iargest that has occurred In the Street In many years. It is more Important In this respect than the famous eleven million dollar failure ot Decker, Howell & Co., on November 11.1890, or ot Grant & Ward, In 1884. In fact, it is said Wall street has to •go back to the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co., and of Duncan, Sherman & Co., for collapses of as considerable magnitude. Iu offect, however, the failure is not as far reaching as either ot the last mentioned business disasters.The firm went heavily into transactions in cotton, stocks, and grain, and had cor- ■respondents all over the country. Nonool ;thfi big speculative interests was Identified iwlth them, and the operations of the firm were for the public account. Their cus- itomers were widely scattered in many dif- •ferent cities.• Early in the day rumors were current '.that a prominent firm was In trouble, and tlater it became generally understood that 'Price, McCormick & Co. was tbe house re- iterred to. Prior to the formal aunounce- •mont of the suspension the cotton market Ihnd broken over twenty points under ter rific selling for both accounts from all di rections.The firm has long been regarded as the leading supporter of the market, and at .one time it was said they were going to 'put August cotton up to ten cents. The decline ot the past month, however, was ■.against them, and, despite their efforts,' Ithey could not hold the market up. The •firm’s bullish attitude was surmised In the 'cotton market, aud It Is thought to have •stimulated the recent activity of cotton bears.; On tbe Produce Esohauee the effect of the failure was almost wholly sentimental. Branches in Now England. Boston (Special).—Price, McCormick * Co. bave several branches in New England. Their business in this city has been trans- !acted through various brokers’ houses.

GOOD ROADS NOTBi Country H ishwayi. )0 we actually want good roadsi Or are bad roads preferable? Is the cry that has been raised (; throughout the length and breadth of this continent: “ W e want good roads,” the dem and of m en in their sober senses? O r has labor and money been placed on our roads for a century past merely to fill in time, and keep our sarolus capital in circu lation. If we do not want good roads, if badroads are preferable, w hy should we want roads at all? W e must have roads. That neces sity having been placed upon us, the ex perience which has taught us the wis dom of building other structures sub* stantially, teaches us the economy of having roads that are good. W e want roads which will withstand wear. W e want the labor and m oney spent on them to be a paying investment. W e want roads which will be good no mat ter what the state of the weather. W e want roads which will not become ratted immediately the fall rains come on or w hen the frost leaves the ground in the spring, remaining in rough ridges for a considerable part of the summer. A road which does this is a bad road. T he money aud labor spent on it is largely forced down into the m ud, is plowed under within a year and wasted. A good road is an economical road. In building an economical road, im provements must be m ade iu such way that they will last. Boads havel been built on the same principle as is wagon which breaks down under the first load, and is used for firewood af ter a year of service. Most of the leading roads have been made and re made a score of times and are still bad roads. They are of the kind that “ break u p .’* A road that “ breaks up,” like anything else that breaks up, is a poor investment. W h e n road building is rightly understood in this country, township councilors will no Qiore think of building roads that will break up in the spring than they will think of constructing houses that break up in the spring, barns that break up iu the spring or fences that break up in the spring. The road builders of this country bave not given sufficientconsideration to the effect of building bad roads. Year after year work of a flimsy, shift less character is placed on the roads. The results are only temporary aud are destroyed by a very little wear and trafiBc. In a very short time the work has to be done over again. 3u t the 3vil does not end with this. This an nual dem and for repairs is so great that no township can respond to it. The roads instead of being repaired ivhen they need it are neglected, grow worse aud worse, and all the evils of bad roads follow'. W h a t bad roads are doing for this 30untry is only one side of the evil. The other side is what they are not ;loing. The loss does not arise so much from the money and labor wasted 2very year as it does from the absence ;)f benefits which good roads would bring. O u r loss must be measured aot so m uch by the' money aud labor ive are throwing away on bad roads>, la by the opportunities wiiich would jome to us if the roads were good. w ide Tire Testimony. Testim ony on the value ofw ide^ires *omes from all sections of the globe.' correspondent of a paper in Sydney describes a road in which heavily laden wagons with narrow tires sank' “ half-spoke deep, and in places to ilieir wheel hubs,” and yet a load of ave ton's carried on six-inch tires sank but two to four inches in the worst places. In dry weather, he says, the :oads are cut up by narrow tires until the dust .is a foot deep, and then th^ rain will not m ake the dust set hard, igain. A good material for roads is gravel, “ but no gravel loads often aud twelve’ tons on three and four-inch tires. Am aiperienced teamster will not speak! ibout the tonnage his team can draw.j Ee will say, ^I think the road will] 3arry five tons’ or more, as the casef miglit be.* I havo heard road sup'erin>f tendents say that enormous sums ofi money could be saved annually if broad tires were used. T he only ob jection 1 have heard raised against the wide tires is that they do not fit' into the rats cut by the narrow ones,' which makes the draught heavier upon the team. That is partially true, bat the ruts would not be cut if all th^ wagons liad wide tires. Portable on-1 gines varying from six to eight horse power and weighing five tons and over are drawn by lighter teams than wagons which, with their loads, would not weigh more. This is owing to the broad tires always used on engines. The ash pans on engines are seldom more than about ten inches from the ground, but owing to the wide tires, these engines seldom bog deep enough to allow thepans to touch the ground." — North American Horticalturist. heaviest ON RECORD. this country.has nine months of UNEXAMPLED FOREIGN TRADE.

T h e surface soil vfaB thrown out as deep as it was thought to be valuable material, and by the way, that well paid for the la’ bor.

CoMidering the m t n j old m en who are atruggling along iu porertr it i. wonderful that 700^ ™ “ ^ money, and .» • ipeater than those of the correspond- Sng mouths of any preceding year. It seems probable that the total exports |of the year will reaoh $1,300,000,000 and that manufactures will supply fully §400,000,000 of this vast sum. Thus we see how the Dingley tariff —harapers” the export of manufactnrcd products. Imports also show a m arked in crease over last year, the principal in; crease being iu manufacturers’ m a terials, whiuh in the eight months ending with February were §60,000,000 greater than in the correspoading months of the preceding year, while manufactured articles for use in the mechanic arts also- showed an increase of over $20,000,000. The following table sjiows the total imports and exports in March of each year, beginning with 1893: Uarcli.

G re’nsboro: ‘J 32;>. 10 4:? Enormous Increase in Onr Sales to For eigners Since the Days W hen tlie l>emocratlv Free Trade Tariff Was in Full Swine—Im ports Also Heavier. The absurdity of the contention that protection must be discarded in order that all restrictions upon our export trade may be removed is convincingly shown in the commercial statistics for the month of M arch aud for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending Juue 30, 1900. M arch exportation;? are larger than those of any corre- spoudiug month in our history, and double tbe average for the month 6f March daring the decade ending with 189fi. The total exports of the month, as shown by the figures just reported by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, are 3134,313,348, against S104.559.689 in March of last year, 375,574,185 in March, 1896, aud.^5BG,516,571 in March, 1893. Thus the exportations of March, 1900, are more than double those of March, 1893, w heu the country had entered upon the Cleveland-Wilsou free trade period, and twenty-five per cent, greater than those of M arch of last year, and, as already stated, are larger than those of any preceding March in onr history. Indeed, the reports show bnt one month (Decem-. her. 1898) in the history of the export; trade of the United States in which; --- the total exportation was as large asj j ^7' u that of March, 1900, the m onth of De- “ Seaeco. cember usually being the heaviest ex- j “ port month ot the year. j Not only are the March, 1900, ei- j ports, under the operation of tha 1 Dingley tariff, the heaviest in the history of our foreign commerce, but the total for the Dingley tariff nine months ending with M arch is also greater than that of any correspond ing nine months in the history of our exports. T h e total exportations in the nine months ending with March, 1900, are $1,053,832,675, against 947,- 919,405-in the corresponding months of last year, $925,905,326 in the corre sponding months of 1897 aud $515,- 499,635 in the corresponding months of 1886, having thtts doubled in fifteen years and increased over fifty-three per cent, since 1896, w hen the ‘free trade tariff was in full swing. The steady increase in exportations is the more remarkable in view of the fact that exports of agricultural prod- nets are only about tbe same as those of the corresponding months of last year, the notable increase of more than $100,000,000 in the nine months in question being largely iu m anu factures. In the eight months end< ing with February (the details for Harch not yet being completed) the exports of agricultural products were practically the same as those of the corresponding eight months of the preceding year, while those of manu- factares showed an increase of $61,- 000,000. This, it should be rem em bered, was under a tariff system which free traders said -would ruin our export trade and deprive domestic manufacturers of markets for their surplus products. These astonishing figures of the March exportations m ake it apparent that the total exports of the .fiscal year 1900 will exceed those' of any preceding year iu four history, since for the nine months of the fiscal year for which the figures are n ow at hand the total exports are $105,000,000 aapj J.r| 4 Ijr.

Power with man proceeds from power with God. The sun is alw'ays shining to the man who walks by faith. Christ’s rule is everywhere, but His throne is in the heart. 1'he Bible is the mirror of conscience held up to' m a n s heart. A short prayer will get to heaven quicker than a long one. The perfect m an in Christ was before the^ imperfect one in Adam . W e are punished by our sins ratlier Than for them. Conscience is the better m an within the best of men. W h e n the devil is sure of you he will let you alone. Better the pessimism that persists against odds than the optimism that makes no effort at all. Only a fool forgets his folly.

Values l>own D arlue Fre« Trade and Up D urlne Prutection Periods. Farmers will long remember tlie radical depreciation in the value of their live stock after the election of Grover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress in 1892. D n ring the four years that ensued the decline in valae aggregated more than 3800,000,000. But with the Bepttblican and protec tion triumphs in 1894 and 189G prices began to improve. It is a snggesfeive coincidence that live stock values in creased during the Harrison adminis tration, declined during the Cleveland administration and advanced during the M cKinley administration. The following table, compiled from the of ficial figures of the Agricultural D e partment, shows the succes sive changes: .Tan. 1— Value. 189 1 $2,329,787.770] Harri«son189 2 2,461,755,698 h ^ ^ r r ^ 1893 2,433,506,681) ..........^2.179,816,754') .......... i;819.436,306 { Cleveland.......... 1,727,926.084 ( Down.1,653,414,G12j 1898. .................$1,88-8,654.925 189 9 1,997.010,190 0 *2,042,650, 189 4 189 5 J89B.......... 1897.......... 14.925) 0,407}-0,713) 3IcK!oIey Up. *Xot iDcludiopf swine, valued at $170,- 109,743 5u 1899.

T o this should be added the value of the swine, not in cluded in the above table, set down in 1899 at over $170,000,000. W e frequently see the claim made in the opposition press that the farm ers have not profited from Bepublicau good times, simply because wheat was not advanced in proportion to other articles.

This, in all sincerity, is the plan of campaign vociferated by an editor who regards a protective tariff as an infam ous tax and clamors for absolute free trade between the United States and the rest of the world. H e believes that the tariff in the coming campaiga should be m ade the leading issne, just as the Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention believed w hen a few days ago it gave the first place iu its plat form to a plank calling for tariff re vision on the basis of revenue only. There are some hundreds of Dem o* craiic editors thronghotit the country w ho are clamoring for a straightout :fight on the line of free trade vs. pro tection. It is earnestly to be hoped that the Kansas City convention will give heed to these gentlemen and adopt an out and out free trade decla- Tation. T h e country would welcome that issue as a means of testing the relative strength of free trade and pro tection sentiment. Theresalt of such a test would be to settle the question ior the next twenty years. That is w h y the country would welcome the issue. Will the free traders have the nsrre to m ake it? FEARFUL COAL MINE EXPLOSION. 23 Lives Lost at the C um nock Mlnei in Chatham Couaty. Sanford, Special.— As the result of an explosion of fire-damp in tiie coal mine at Cum nock at 4:30 o’clocIc,Tues- day afternoon, 22 men, 10 of whom are white and 12 negroes, lost their lives. The accident is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge fired in driving a heading. The accident was in the east slope. Between 40 and 50 m en were in the mine at the time the explosion occur red. Five w^ere brought out alive from the east slope, w-hile none of the men In the west slope were injured. T h e names of the killed are as fol lows: White— Jno. Connolly, mine superin tendent; Joe Glass, William Tyser, Jas. M . Carthy, Jno. Harkey, Wesley Clegg, John Willett, Jo4 Gatewood, Robert Gatewood. Colored.— Sim McIntyre. D an Golds* ton, Joe Frazier, Will Reeves, Robert Reeves, Ollie Bynum , Joe Ta-ylor, Jim Marks, John Lee Palmer, Jim Palmer, Peter Palmer, Joe Hubbard. Shortly after the explosion occurred, the work of rescue began and by night all the bodies except two or three iiad been removed. Later.— The name of another negro was added to the list of the dead as a result of the explosion, making in all 23, 10 white men and 13 negroes. Four of the five m en brought out alive are still living and it is thought three of them will recovei-. They are now able to talk but are unable to relate their experience while in the mine after the explosion occurred. Some think the exploeion was caused by a broken gauze in a safetly lamp, while others think it was caused by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge. The miners had noticed that a great deal of gas had accumulated in the east heading during the past few days. T w o or three m en are yet unaccounted for. The explosion was not like the jne of four years ago, as it made very lit tle noise. It was some time after tie explosion occurred before the miners in the other parts of the mine learned ot it. Mr. Hare, one of the bos.=e3 in the mine, says he thinks he could have saved several of the m en had he known it earlier. The w'ork of washing and preparing the bodies for burial began Tuesday night and by Wednesday about all the bodies had been removed to the houses of t*he dead men. Those who made their homes at Cumnock were buried Thursday. Others were sent to their distant homes, in this and other States. The most of the miners were natives, very few of them being foreigners. Some of £h"e dead m en were badly burned about the hands and face. John Connolly, superintendent of the mine, was an Englishman. His re mains, with those of Jas. McCarthy, will be taken to Pittson, Pa., for burial. William Tysor. who is am ong th* (lead, is a son of Jordan Tysor, ot Chatham county. H e was to have stopped work next Saturday. Victor Rudd was the first m an to go in the mine after the explosion. There are yet several lamps missing. E>avidson College Catalogue.

A n Interesting Letter from Superin tendent Mebane. Superintendent C. H . Mebane has is- Eued the following letter to the various county superintendent and school di rectors: “ Dear Sirs:— I wish to refer you to section 19 of the School I^ w , which is as follows: “ The county board of school direc tors of any county m ay annually ap propriate an amount uot exceeding fif ty dollars out of the school funds of tho county for the purpose of conducting one or more teachers' institutes for said county; or ihe county boards of school director of two or more adjoin- counties may appropriate an amount not exceeding fifty dollars to each county for the purpose of conducting a teachers’ institute for said counties, at some convenient and satisifactory point, and the public school teachers of the said county or counties are required to attend said institute, unless prevent ed from attending by sickness or other good cause. A county teachers’ insti tute under this section, shall be con ducted 'by the county superintendent of schools, a:5slsted by some member ot the State .board of examiners, or a member of the faculty of the normal department of the University of North Carolina, or the State Normal and In dustrial College, or of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Raleigh, or by soine practical teacher appointed by said State board of examiners: Pro vided, that the local and traveling ex penses of the persons thus appointed shall be paid out of the general public school fund of the county by order of the county board of school directors: Provided, that the teachers’ institutes shall be held for the >»:iiite race and the colored race separate and apart from each other.” “ It does seem to me that the time has coime for members of every coun ty bon-rd of school directors to realize that they must do all they possibly ^an to help the eteachers of their respec tive counties to better prepare themsel ves for their important work. “ So, my friends, the question df a county institute once a year oug>ht to be an established fact, and the only qestion with you in regard to it should be: H o w may we have the best insti tute? H o w m ay w’e best serve the teachers’ needs of our country? How m ay what we do this year add to what w e did last year and prepare the wa? for what we did last year and prepare the way for what we expect to do next year? Send your requests in for men as leaders in the work. Professors Mclv- er. Joyner and Claxton. of the Normal and Industrial College, can and will serve several counties. The Agricul tural and Mechanical College profess ors are also required to do some of this ■work, and if these can not supply all the demands, we have good educators whose services can be had for a small compensation. I.>et us have an educa tional awakening in county institute work. Our public school teachers have not the means to go off to summer schools, but all can attend a county in stitute and get new life, new zeal and new Inspiration in the w'Oirk. “ Will you do this much for the teach, ers of your county? “Yours truly.“ C. H . M E B A N E , “ Supt. Public Instruction.” A W ea vin g Boss Slain. Gastonia. Special.— At Besseraei City Friday afternoon about 5 o'clock John L.

This would be .a good thing to do. Persons who take their own lives are often insane. If not actually deranged, their minds are In so morbid a condition as to unfit them for calm and accurate statement. It often hap pens that, with the intention ot ex plaining their act. they leave a letter or scrap ot paper which reflects cruelly upon the character of one or more living persons. The newspapers print the letter under prominent bead-lines, and the injured per.son has no redress. A mere denial counts for little, ami fliere is no defence against the calum nies of the dead.
