FVrd contributes tj the Atlantic Monthly for Sf-ptL-rnber a discussion of the topic. ".N?w Opportu nities for American Commerce." Mr i oru disposes or tne i'hlilpijinea in a very few lines?, but probably accurate ly. The market there fur our products wi!l be small, limited to supplying the wants of a few white settlers. The six or seven million of Malayans do not make any demaml for manufacture! goods; and "the supposition that the islands are so rich in minerals that ;i new population would flow in is a et not proven." There is, then, no frolJ mine in th Philippines either literally or as to the possibilities of trade Keneraily, and it is likely that our annexation of the islands would cost us ten times what we .should get out of them. JBut it is insisted with some plausi bility that the I'hiilppHies are the gateway to China, and that awaitinjr us in the Flowery Kingdom is an enor mous demand for our manufactured Koods. Mr. Kord makes careful exam ination of this assertion, lie finds lirst, that China must be born aalr. before it tan be such a buyer In the world's markets as its population would indicate it should be. A great social revolution must corne there be fore existing home conditions will fail to supply whatever its trade will de mand. An interesting confirmation of this is found in Kngland's experience in Hone Kong, which is a distributing center and under the control of Great ilri tain. Sincu 1SS1 "the tonnage of ship ping in the foreign trade entering ana clearing at Hong Kong has more thar doubled in quantity, and the sliipping of Kngland has more than huld its own in the increase. The value of imports into China from liong Kong has nearly trebled since' 1V1." All of which seems very encouraging. Hut how have the three great manufacturing nation Great liritain, Germany and the Uni ted States profited? Hritish exports at liong Kong have fallen off In value by one-half since lsM, and imports by one third. The United States fares a lit tle better, her small trade with Hong Kong having increased, in exports, one-third in 17 years, while the imparls have fallen off as much. But lest this should seem a gain on the whole Mr. Ford reminds us that "Hong Kong fig ures in the total trade of the United States for less than four-tenths of one Ier cent a proportion hardly worth considering." Germany has done no better, while little Japaa, by reason of natural conditions, her nearness to the market, has absorbed nearly the wliolt amount of the increased trade which has been built up under Hritish auspices at Hong Kong. So much for the trade of t lit far Kast of which we hear so much. Let us look at it in a way Mr. Ford does not suggest. In lS'.t? our exports to Cuba, l'orto Kico and the Philippines amounted to less than $12.000,0w. Our exports in the same year from only one of our fourth rate interior cities to Canada and Kngland were over $13,000, 000. f course in 1M7 Cuba took com paratively little, being torn by inter nal dissensions; but as we have taken the expoi-ts of cmly one of our own c ities and that not of the first rank and not on the seaboard, the comparison is not unfair. In that same year of grace we sold the- Philippines only $:l.;"yT worth of goods a sum that would not pay Admiral Levey's ex penses since tie has been in Manila bay. Buncombe Democracy. The ticket nominated by the Demo t wits of P.uncombe at their convention on Saturday, taken as a whole, is con ceded to be one- of the very strongest ever placed before the people1 of this county asking for their suffrages. It is a thoroughly representative Lemo cratic ticket. It is a ticket that was named because of the worth and per sonal merit of each candidate. The ticket is the perfectly legitimate out come of a d. termination on the part of th- people of the county to put out none but the? very best men tor office this year. It is a ticket that stands for the intelligence. I he property and the churactwr of lUiucombe county. It is a ticket that will not suffer by compari son with that put out by any county in North Carolina this year. It is a ticket that will carry Buncombe in November, and n"t the least of the influences which will ccntiilmte to that result will be the fact that th ticket deserves the success we feel sure It will achieve. As to County Government. Sinoe fusion set the example of hnv- ing the governor appoint aldermen fov the cities of New hern and Wilmington, and giving the small negro wards in Greenville two aldermen. while the larger wards are allowed to elect only one alderman, the Democrats will be apt to avail themselves of the principle laid clown in the case of Harris vs. Wright, decided by the present Su preme court, which permits the legis lature to have one form of county gov ernment for the eastern negro coun ties and unother form of county gov ernment for the western white coun l ies. The white people of the west should now rally to the support of the lV-mo-i ratio iarty and have these changes in county government made. Let them remember that blood is thicker than water, and give relief to the eastern whites, while having county govern ment to their liking at home. The Legislative Ticket. Buncombe will be represented In the next session of the State legislature by as strong men as have ever sat in that body from this county. Locke Craig, who heads the ticket for the lower House- is one of the brightest and brainiest members of the bar of the State, and as a political speaker is conceded to be second to none. As an elector at large in ISM Mr. Craig's reputation spread throughout North Carolina. He is thoroughly post ed on national as well as State issues. He has all the strength of t&e meet popular orators. He can blister tviUt sarcasm or exalt with oratory with equal facility. He is a. stranger to fear, and was never known to fail ia having the courage of bis convictions. His can- vass will be the most brilliant that Buncombe bas known since the days of Vance, and his election is assure. Joshua C. Curtis, Mr. Craig's running mate, is the equal In strong ctmmon senee, sound Judgment and genuine character, of any man In any county in North Carolina. While making no pr&tentions to any of the graces of the forum he has a double portion of that hard sense that belongs to the farm, and will be found the equal of any of his associates in the legislature In un derstanding what the great agricul turia masses need in the way of legisla tion. J. M. Gudger, jr., unanimously en dorsed for the Senate, is a lawyer and farmer combined, and highly success ful as both. His farming operations are carried on in Madison county, where he is one of the most extensive tobacco raisers in that one the largest tobacco growing counties of the State. He is a man of a large amount of native Intel ligence, and thoroughly understands the necessities of the people he will represent. He possesses in an unusual degree the popularity that makes good candidate and the capacity tha constitutes a fine representative. Mr. Gudger's running mate will be Thos. L. Murray of Madison county- one of the most skillful local politicians in Western Carolina, and a man of ex cellent intelligence and judgment. The Atlanta Constitution is authority for the statement that the taxable values in the State of Georgia for the year lSi8 are nearly $8,000,000 less than in 17, and Georgia is considered one of the most prosperous of the South ern States. May not this regrettable condition be attributed to the fact that the South's laboring classes are not able to compete with those of other sec tions. One of the most intelligent men in the country remarked a few days ago, "ft makes me sad to see young men coining from our universities with no idea of going to work. They all think of being lawyers, doctors or preachers, when we need no more of those classes. We want a more intel ligent class of real laborers with their hands." The Republican denunciation of the incendiary talk of the negro editor at Wilmington, and the declaration that the editoF was a "simpleton" and the paper in which this assault upon poor white women and men was printed had suspended, seem to have been circu lated for campaign purposes only. The negro paper is still running and the editor defies the Republican executive committee that formulated the resolu tions against him, and points out wherein he is a Republican in good standing, and not the "simpleton" they declared him to be. The Citizen's dispatches on Saturday indicated that Wiere may be trouble in arranging the ecclesiastical status of some of the newly acquired territory of the United States. All of Spain's colonies have been controlled, religious ly by the crown and the Pope Jointly. As soon as the treaty of peace is sign ed. if not before, the Constitution of the United States, which separates church and state affairs, will apply to all territory ceded to this Republic, and freedom of religion will be at oute a fact in Porjto Kiao as much as in North Carolina. Instead of such a profuse bestawment of commendation on a few rich people for their contributions to the relief of the hundreds of fever stricken soldiers in camps and hospitals throughout the country, would it not be just as well for the newspapers to utter a modicum of condemnation against the President who failed to give the country a Sec retary of War who had the capacity to prevent the sad condition In the army that calls for these charitable gifts. Some of the innocent newspa pers tnroughout thei country are worrying themselves thus early for fear the war tariff and the war bond issue will result in piling up a vast surplus in the treasury of the United States. When the treasury retains a surplus with the Republican party in control the stars will refuse to shine from pure astonishment and the sun and moon will reverse their sourses and set in the east. President McKinley, in appointing Mr. Whitelaw Reid on the peace com mission, instead of ambassador to Eng land, is reported to have yielded to the influence of Senator Piatt, and the pub lic listen with interest to hear what the Nev York lily white anti-machime Republicans will have to say. Atlanta, Georgia, is a thrifty town. It made $4000 above expenses out of the recent Confederate reunion held there, and all the veterans seemed satisfied with their end of the bargain, too. The New York Sun figures it out that three out of five of the peace com missioners are anti-expansionists Da vis and Fry being for and Day, White and Reid againsk PEOPLE. George B.

Influx ef N eg roe a From Other States May Reverse Owe Population and Make a Negro Majority In North Carolina. Almost immediately after the pas sage of the Reconstruction Acts, under which the Southern States were re-ad mitted into the Union, and by which civil and political rights were conferred upon the negro, there was a great in flux of negroes into Washington City, and the capital of the Union was fast becoming the negro's political heaven. Why? It was about this time that an act was passed by Congress which gave to the citizens of the District of Columbia the power to elect all the local officers of the city of Washing ton. The people there had local self government, and the negro was as good as the white man. They flocked to that city in great numbers, and had the influx gone on and the right of the people to elect the local officers been continued the city would long ago have been under the control of the negroes As it was, the city government soon become so corrupt and extravagant that Congress was forced to repeal the act giving the people the right of local self-government. The principal officers erf the city are now nominated and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate are appointed by the Presi dent, and these appoint the minor of fleers. Since the present system of gov ernment went into operation the ne gro has had but little showing in the w ay of office-holding and the city is no lonirer his political heaven. What place is now to him what Washington once was? What one State in all this Union now holds out to him the inducement to enter her cit izenship and seek her political honors? What State, and wnat state aione, is represented in the Congress of the United States by a negro? w nat niave. and what State alone, has registration laws which make it easy for him to register, whether he is a legal voter or r,nt- What State, and what State alone, requires nothing of him to en title him to vote except his bare oath that he is so entitled? The answer to these inquiries is, .orth Carolina: The neero is not a voter in the Dis trict of Columbia, as no elections are held there. South Carolina and other Southern States, where the negroes are in large numbers, have passed spe cial laws which make negro uumiu tion in those States practically impos Uihi Rut North Carolina, under Re publican rule, not only does not seek to provide against negro domination, but aftnniiv invites it. Laws passed by Democratic legislatures for the protec ,.f white neonle in certain locali tio have been repealed by the Repub lican party, and the policy oi lunnug over these communities to the negroes has been proclaimed to the world as the i4 h Renublican party of -Arth Carolina. Hence we. see in New uanovor county 40 negre magistrates -i i,mirnn other netrro omcers. xn , - j rniintv w e find 26 negro magis . and host of otner negro OUl- ii aii thrmitrh the east we find this policy adopted, and as a result many of the local offices held by ne- groes. tirauuaiiy hub pom-j .....-o its wav upon the State, and even cnai ham s negroes have been put on com mittees for white schools. Much has heen done in furtherance or mis poncy since the Republicans came into power in January, 1S97. The policy is now on on,1 a fierce nollticai convesi is the State. The Demo- n.rtv is attacking it with all the onri force at its command.

The negroes from other States watch the conflict, tr tne peopie 01 vrth Carolina shall deliberately en dorse this policy, can anyone doubt the result? Is it not manifest that negroes from other States, where official life is closed to them, and hie themselves away to North Carolina, as they did in former days to Washington, where official life is open to them, and where the Republican party orters tnem irs rewards? Let it be proclaimed to tne world, after this fierce conflict, that the white people of North Carolina nave indorsed this Republican policy ana that this party is now nrmiy entrencn ed in power, and does any one doubt. can any one doubt tnat tnere win oe . .

In this way county atter county in which the whites now feel secure may soon pass under negro control, can any one doubt tnat tms is a reai uu ger if the Republican party is to re main in control of the State. No more can any one doubt that it is an immi nent danger. Who shall say that Col. James H. Young, the only negro colo nel in the United States, when he re turns as a conquering hero to his pat ron and friend. Governor Russell, may not summon his race to join him in making North Carolina the San Do mingo of the Union? Whatever one may think about these serious and weighty questions, it is ertain that if the Republican party 1; overthrown and its policy be, repudia ted by the white people and the Demo cratic party be restored to power, none ofthese dangers can befall the people of North Carolina. The Democratic party is a white, man's party, and it will establish and maintain a white man's government over every foot of soil where it governs at all. "BLIND TOM" AS HE 19 TODAY. His Passion for Musio la as Strong as it Ever Was- "The name Thomas Wiggins means nothing to the majority of readers,' writes Joha J. a'Becket in the Septem ber .Ladies' Home Journal "But Thomas v tggins is -fcWind Tom,' a name familiar to hundreds of thoas ands in this country and abroad, who have heard the piano played by this wonderful negro. The impression that he is dead is a pretty general one. As a matter of fact. Blind Tom has never been ill a day in his life. On the banks of the Shrewsbury river.

I had expeeted to find a wonder at the piano, and I did, for his untaught mastery of the instrument is marvelous. From the time when the Bethune family left the dinner table to see who could be play ing on the piano, and discovered the sightless pickaninny of foars years perched on the stool, his little bands plucking uncanny melody from the key board from that time until now he has had an unwavering devotion to the in strument whose music is hie life."

The Trip af a Party From AmH Last Week. vill Last Monday morning there gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Heston a party of young people, bound for the crest of Ut Mitchell. Frequent pauses for picture taking, hunting springs and watermelons delayed their arrival at Tyson's, at the foot of the mountain. While some were unhitch ing, others built the camp fires, erected the tent and prepared supper. This disposed of, quiet reigned in camp until 3 a. m., when a shot rang out. "Uncle Riley" 4iad seen and shot at a bear, When the sun w'as peeping over the mountains a bugle call summoned all to a delicious camp breakfast, served in courses by three of the boys. At 9:15 the start was made to climb the highest of all our eastern mountains. Pack mules and guide ahead, each one chose his own pace. Gradually the more ambitious ones lost sight of the others until the party was divided. At the Half Way house one party found a note from Mr. Heston saying that after waiting three hours he had decided to take his party on at least three miles further, possibly to the top. About a mile from the Half Way house a shower overtook them. As the young ladies were without wraps thei sought shelter under an overhanging rock. While waiting here they heard away below them a bugle call. Such a mighty shout arose that the worn am weary wanderers knew they were at last to rejoin their friends. The rain ceased, the sun shone out and soon all were mounting old Mitchell once more. Climbing at first merrily, then wearily, then exhaustedly they reached the last sharp climb. Suddenly hearts stood still, for Wm. Thompson had made b misstep, falling and rolling down 12 feet. The rejoicing was great when it was found he had sustained only a few slight bruises. Camp was reached at last, only t find it already occupied. However, th first comers kindly revived the droop ing spirits of the party with sand wiches and coffee and the privilege of their camp fire while their own wa: building. Supper was eaten, blankets spread as best they could be, and al sought what rest they could on the cold bosom of Mother Earth. Morning came in fog, to soon dis perse and show to wondering eyes how magnificent are the works of nature.

Luncheon and a rest sent them gaily back to camp. After an evening of songs and merriment, a niirht of sound sleep prepared them for the long nomew-ara ride. Thursday morning camp was broken amid general lam entations and the journey home began. i uc mciueni. or tnat last evening was leaving the masculine portion of the party stranded on an island in the mid dle of the deepest river ford. But the horses were unhitched, and the driver landed the party safely ashore. A luncheon of watermelon at the pump- ng station broke the last stasre of the homeward Journey. Coming down the river the moon shone out gloriouslv. As they neared Biltmore Mr. Kimber ly's bugle rang out cheerily. Sweeping up South Main street and down Patton avenue the Journey ended just at 9 o'clock. Those composing the party were: Mr.and Mrs. E. E. Heston, Miss Rebec ca Hurst of Baltimore. Miss Helen Redwood, Miss May McDonald, Mis May Kimberly, Albert Kimberly of Boston, Wm. Thompson of Philadel phia, Charles Henderson and Ralph VanGilder. A LIVE BUNDLE. A Mysterious Blue Eved Babv in Charlotte. From the Charlotte Observer. Wednesday night, just as darkness had fallen over the city, a strange man with a bundle in his arms pat-sed Across Ninth street down North Brevard, go ing south. The second house fiom the corner of Ninth and Brevavd streets is occupied by Mr. W. L. Baker and fam ily and Mr. John L. French and wile. When the stranger passed by the house that night. Mr. Baker, Mr. Flench, Mrs. Baker and Mrs. French were on the porch. No r.e took any notice of the man. After passing by some st'.ps be came bick to the gate of the ?ence and asked if Mrs French was at home. On being told yes, he laid the bundle that he had in his arms inside the yard and waiked rap idly away. Mrs. French picked the parcel up and began to untangle it. She found almost smothered in the center of the bundle, a baby. It was living, but in great agony from th lack of air. It had been wrapped in two woolen cloaks. On its dress was pinned a note, which asked Mrs. French to care for it. There was a bit of money with the note. When the child was placed in the yard a basket containing clothes was also left. A physician was called. He said the child had been aimost starved. Truly, it looks as if it had been without food for many days. The hair on its head made it three months or more old. but ts htt'e bedy was a striny of skin and bones. The man disappeared and has not been seen since. Mrs. French has no children and is very proud of this little baby that has, no doubt, lacked the care of a tender mother since its birth. The child is a boy. He has pretty blue eyes and dark hair. Mrs. French says that she will keep him and raise him to mannood if she has her will AT THE GRAND. The season at the Grand opera bouse opened today, with Al. G. Field's min strels as the star attraction in a mat inee performance. The minstrels will appear again this evening, and a full house seemsr certain. The Charlotte Observer of Sunday said of the minstrels: "The show was excellent in every respect, considering the fact that the opera house stage was so small that it did not admit of the placing of mactj of the special scenery which the company carries. Field's minstrels are genteel and gentlemanly artists, and their work was of a high order. Nothing was said or done that the mqst fastidious could object to, and the ladies of the city turned out in large numbers to see the performance, which was high class and refined in, every respect. AU the numbers were good, but perhaps special mention should be made of the dancing of Doc Quigley, the singing of Harry Shfcldon, assisted by several members of the company, the acting of the Faust fam ily and others, and the comedy, 'On to Cuba.' Almost every member was en cored and the audience left in great good hum&r." Asheville College for Women. Young LATE JUDGE E. T.

The same thing occurred last year. As much building is going on here as in any place of this size in the country. Secretary of State Thompson has sent out a notice to various sheriffs in the State instructing them to make special effort to detect and report any insur ance companies doing business without license. He is confident that there are many such companies in the State. MRS. STONEWALL JACKSON. The visit of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson to the hospital' train when it passed through Charlotte Friday with the wounded of the Third Pennsylvania regiment is being beautifully comment ed upon by the Northern press. THE SECOND REGIMENT. The Times-Visitor will print Monday afternoon a letter from a member of the Second regiment who is at St. Si mon's Island. This letter bears out the statement that 96 per cent, of the reg iment want to be mustered out. The writer goes further and states that it is solely the work of Col. Burgwyn, Maj. Dickson and Lieut. Col. Cowles that the regiment is retained. The Fayettville company is particularly unanimous in asking a release. The au thor says that when he is mustered out he will make some interesting expos. ures. The statement is made from the best authority in Raleigh that as a result of Lieut. Col. Cowles trip to Washing ton the Second regiment will be kept in the service. Col. Burgwyn says some of the officers will resign. WAKE COUNTY TICKET. The Democratic county convention held here Saturday was the largest and most enthusiastic in years. The fusion ists admit that it will be difficult for them to hold the county. THE LATE JUDGE BOYKIN. The remains of the late Judge E. T. Boykin were brought to Raleigh from Dun Sunday morning. The family de- cided to have the interment at the home of Mrs. Boykin instead of in this city, hence the body was embalmed here and sent to Concord. The funeral was held in the Episcopal church at Concord at 10 a. m. today. The remains were accompanied to the station by the following pallbearers: Col. T. M. Argo, R. H. Battle, F. H. Busbee, E. B. Bar- bee, S. G. Ryan, T. P. Devereaux, B. F. Montague, F. M. Simmons and Wm. Russ.

Movement Under Col. Armfield at Jacksonville. From the Jacksonville Citizen. The extended order drill of the First brigade of the Second division yester day morning was one of the most in teresting ceremonies that has been held since the encampment of the corps in this city. The problem presented was the capture of a wagon train .escorted through an enemy's country by three battalions, the capturing force being double that of the escort. The escort ing party was commanded by Col. Armfield of the First North Carolina, who had under him the first battal ions of the First North Carolina, the Second Illinois and the Second New Jersey regiments. Their wagon train consisted of about 20 wagons. The movement under Col. Armfield was highly complimented, and the position that he secured for his wagon train was said to have been most strong, and one military witness of the morning's work said that even if ball cartridges had been used, as in actual battle; he would have probably been able to hold his train against the double force for a considerable time. The men or tne larger force moved in splendid line and with the air of veterans. Colonel Hine was much pleased with the force n der him, and spoke in the highest terms of the work. Mark Hanna Warned. From the Durham Sun. John Sherman, the statesman who is laid on the shelf with some notices from political contemporaries and Washington newspapers that were much in the nature of obituaries, has come suddenly to life as the Republi can candidate for governor in Ohio.and Hanna is warned to get off the track, even if he has to Jump into the river.

He also wants to know where Lockey got the authority for saylnsr that the Record would suspend. -Then he says more sharp things about Lock ey s candidacy for judicial honors, and says that his course in assembling the committee and dictating the action to be taken was from a hankering for Populist votes, upon which he will de- pend in his race for the judgeship. The whole animus of the article in fact is directed against the Republi can candidate for Judge. And the im pression that the reader gains from it is that the action of the Republican ex ecutive committee is considered by the Record as the biggest sort of a farce and in no way indicative of the feeling of the majority of the colored voters. Certainly, In view of this article, in view of the action of the colored min isters in upholding the Record, and in view of the threatening demonstration Wednesday night, when it was thought the colored editor was in danger, the high sounding resolutions of the Re publican executive committee shrink into very faulty insignificance inde- I. There was no excitement about tae Record office last night or yesterday afternoon. However, it is learned that there is a liberal supply of firearms about the building. DEALS IN DIRT.

The people generally did not know A.lger, but they had confidence in Mc Kinley. They did not believe that the President's choice for a secretary of war would be an utter incompetent, and they had faith that the President would get rid of such a secretary as soon as this incompetence was proved. They were mistaken. The awful ei nerience of our troops in this war un- der Alger will have to be torgotten De- fore another volunteer army can be raised. Civilization Too Expansive. From the Boston Herald. That was a rather shrewd and philo sophic Filipino who told a missionary who undertook to regenerate him that if he adopted civilization and became a Christian ft would cost money to De born, money to be allowed to live, mon ey to marry, money to die and money to be buried and he considered himself better off as he was.
