They say that his leg is the only woodeuHiitig about Henderson, the next Speaker of the House. The Church is not always the path to Heaven, nor the penitentiary the highway to perdition. It is said to be safer to put your riches in trusts than to put your trust in riches. The more Cuban 44 there are the longer Old Glo ry will fly over the island. Uncle Sam is a bad mar plot against. to 1 here are certainly draw backs to wedding tours in an automibile, even if a Cofum bus, Ohio, couple did make one. President McKinley isn't the first President to "dedline to try to arrange his Cabi-- nent to please his newspaper opponents. Long Branch is getting to be known as the American Mon te Carlo, from its palatial gambling establishments. Yet, gambling is illega New Jersey. in It is a pity-to spoil a lice little democratic story, but it is a fact that every New Yorker recommended 1 b y Gov. Rossevelt for a com mission in the Philippinelvoi- unxeers was appointed.. Private John Allen is ac cumulating tip-top material for some new stories, even if he fails to get elected to the Senate. Senator White, of Califor nia, has been placed among the possible candidates for the Presidential nomination by the anti-Bryan democrats. Those who are seeking a new name for this country are suffering from their ina bility to recognize a good thing when they see it. The old name is good enough. Miss Helen Gould is to re ceive another medal from the enlisted men of the Sixth Ohio Regiment, to whom she furnished cots while they were in Cuba'. American shjp-building is having a continuous boom. A new ship-yard, to cost $3,000,000 is shortly to be established near Philadel phia. Democratic principles, are like the old fashioned jointer leg, they can be adjusted to stand upon a platform in any position from a plain to a perpendicular. Johnnie McLean might as well throw away his money in the purchase of the demo cratic nomination for gover- nor of Ohio as in any other way. Things have reached the stage that Mr. Bryan enter tains doubt of the loyalty to him of every prominent dem ocrat, and there appears to be ground for the doubt. Perhaps it is because he realizes that there is nothing else in politics for him that Mr. Bryan insists upon be ing paid $200 in advance for every political speech he makes. - It is already plain that many Kentucky democrats cannot be induced to swal low Goebel and his methods, while the republican support of Taylor appears to be So lidifying daily. When you hear one of those little know-it-all demo crats saying that Protection is the mother of trusts, just ask the young rooster who was the mammy of those soup Jiouses that sprang tip under democratic rule. The late democratic con vention at Louisville has been ironically termed 4 'the Blue Grass Peace Confer ence. The speed with which vol unteers are enlisting for the Philippine regiments shows how popular President Mc Kinley 's Philippine policy is wifch the people. Here is a prosperity note from Chicago. A canvass shows that 30,000 more men are employed in that city than two years ago, and they receive an average of 10 per cent, raise in wages. They will be calling him fool- Atkinson if he gets up a few more crack-brained schemes like his attempt to organize the negro vote of the country against expan sion That General Miles is wiser than some of his fool friends was shown by ' his having acted as Secretary of War for three days without attempting tor maker : -any trouble. Some of the offers made to editors seem to take it for granted that they are always waiting to be buncoed, when in reality the most of them know a bunco scheme at sight and never fail to toss it into the waste basket. Mr. Bryan is preparing for another incursion of the 4 4 enemy 's country . ' ' He will endeavor to do for the entire East what ex-Gov. Hogg did at the Tamany meeting stampede the opposition to his nomination. Congressman Wilson, of S. C.y said the other day: 'Though I am a democrat, I am rejoiced at the prospec tive election of Col. Hender son to the speakership, and I believe this sentiment will be general . among Southern Representatives." 4 4 Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the goverened" is the Way the democrats start out in their argument against the present war in the Philip pines. But if you were to bring out such argument,, as that' in opposing the North Carolina 'Constitutional a - mendment before a democrat he would rise up on his hind legs and squall "nigger'' till his eyes would stand Iott like a bull-froer's with a s&w log" on his back. Germany acquired the Car oline Islands solely for mili tary purposes. This has been made plain by the pub lication of the treaty under which the islands were r bought, which guarantees to Spain all of the- commer cial, religious, and naval privileges that Germany will enjoy in those islands. Some of the democratic editors of. this state deisre to see the N. C Press Asso ciation organized into a dem ocratic shebang. Perhaps if enough of these editors ever get to heaven to effect an organization they . will demand a good sized lot rail ed off for them with the tree of life in the center. Women will be obliged to give their correct age in the coming census. The new law says: 44 Women who refuse to tell their age or indulge in inaccurate statement there of, as well as all other per sons refusing to reply to questions or making false statements shall on convic tion, be fined one hundred dollars." The ' republicans of Ken tucky nominated General Taylor for governor on the first ballot. The nomina tion was by acclamation and the convention was harmo nious. Goebel was nomina ted bv the democrats on the 27 ballot and the convention was a pandemonium on earth. Taylor represents a cause and a party that demands that every man shall be heard in the exercise of his right at the ballot box. Goebel is the father of an elec tion law in Kentucky that is the embodyment of . all the shrewd rascality and parti zan taints that the diaboli cal imaginationof a gang of hungry democratic pie hun ters were capable of com- manding. The fight is be tween the people on one side and the force bill on the other. Let the voter take his choice. The demmy papers think they deal McKinleyism a staggering blow when they announce that about 35,000 drummers have been thrown out of work through the for- jjtajiion of trusts and about $$000 more have had their salaries reduced. It s, no doubt, very excruciating to the sensitive feelings o:;the demmy editors to conemj-. plate the awful humiliation and disgrace it will bring upon some of these poor drummers to have to hang their grips and starched shirts on a willow tree and go to work for a living. Yes, the shock is so over whelming that they com pletely overlook the fact that, as the direct result of McKinley ism and Protection, over three million wage workers have had their wages increased -and over two million idle hands have been given work. Bray on, ye inimical disciples of Dog berry; there's nothing the matter with Hanner. When such staunch demo crats as Senator Morgan be gin to 4 4 deny the divinity of Bryan" it begins to look like there was a dead nigger in the woodpile somewhere. The Loudon Economist says there are now 187 trusts in. Free-Trade England. Of course we all know that the Protective Tariff of the U nited States is the mother of the last one. of -them. The Poetry :.if Protection. Just a little dollar, on its mission sent, makes a4ot of people glad each time the coin is spent. You pay it to the butcher, for meat to give 3'ou strength; he takes it to the grocer from whom it goes at length, some pretty bit of cloth or lace his better half to buy, or helps to get her winter hat to make her rival sigh. The dry goods man sends on the coin to pay his market bill, and though the coin is often spent, it stays a dollar still, and every time 'tis spent at home, some act of good is done in 4 4 booming" local industries, ere setting of the sun. But if you take the shining coin and break the local chain, the chances are that from a far 'twill not return again. If once it passes out of town, the. butcher and the baker, the grocer and the dry goods man, the cook, the undertak er, the carpenter, the car riagewright, the blacksmith, every one, will loose the chance to touch that coin ere setting of the sun. Just keep the little coin at home, just keep it moving well, and every time it chan ges hands somebody's goods "twill sell. That single lit tle dollar has thus a wonder- ous power to make somebody better a dozen times an hour. It pays the bill,,and wards off ill, and ne'er its power re laxes to soothe the doctor, (buy the coal and pay i for clothes and taxes.
