The peopie of the State should be well aoquaiuled with the facts which were set torth iu an article fiom The Statesville Landmark, which was reproduced iu yesterday’s Ob- .server with regard tc the operation of the State -Hospital Commission authorized by act of the last Legis lature and to whi h an appropria tion of a half million dollars was made by the same General Assem bly. The idea was to take care of tlie epileptic and insane persons ot the State, and the unpleasant truth ought to be made known that though that appro])riation was made more than a year and a hall ;»go not a single insane or epileptic person has benefited by that act. Ihis Hospital C'ommi.s.sion, owing lo dif ference among its own members with regard to the establishment of a colony for epileptics—some of its members wishing it to be establiHbcd on grounds adjacent to the State Hosp’tal at Raleigh, and at least one of its members desiring it to be lo cated in Cumberland county—has done nothing with reference to this particular class of unfortunates, and has done nothing lo relieve the in sane in general except to have ap propriated approximately |80,000 for a building for one hundred men at Raleigh, while refusing an ap propriation of $30,000 for build ings which would accommodate a hundred men at Morganton. Mean time let it be understood that this commission has has given $33,000 of its fund to the negro insane asy lum at Goldsboro. To build at Morganton is cheap er than to build at Raleigh; patients are supported at less cost at Mor ganton than they are at Raleigl;; the State line establishing to which institution shall go give.s the great preponderance of the State popula tion to the JSIorganton Hospital, and yet for the taking care of the insane the foolish proposition is made by this State Hospital Com mission that Morganton shall have no further appropriation until the accommodations at Raleigh are made equal to it. VVe want the people of the west ern part of the State whose in.sane subject are confined iu jails, in their liomfts, or are roaming ai large, to kiK>w tliiit tljc ITip'^'^jihers*' of the HospitiU Commission, Mr, C. A. Webb, of Asheville, and iv...r. J. H. Wendington, ' of Charlotte, protest against tiiis condition, but are the’minority of a body composed of five member.s, the othr?r members being Mi . W. A. Erwin, of Dur ham; Mr. E. F. Aydlett, of Pas quotank, and Di’. J. W. McNeill, of Cumberland. We reprobate and d(‘.'pise any sentiment ot rivalry be tween the eastern and western sec tions of iSorth Carolina. What is here said is not .said in the slightest spirit of hostility toward the State H ospital at Raleigh—an admirably conducted itistitution —but in the intesest of a good understanding and for the cause of common justice. Brother Caldwell what do yon mea;i by this Vlitorial? Do you mean to say the great Democratic part}" of North (Airolina has been negligent in the care, protection and maintenance of the unfortunates of the Stale'? Is it possible that such ."^aints of God as Gov. Glenn would ])ermit these conditions among hi.s own dear people of lire \V'est? Brother Caldwell is it a fact that the last Legislature played ‘‘Old Nancey’’ in everything' they attetn])ted?

They Speak on the Leading Nation al Issues of the Campaign to thiC Citizens of Mount Airy. Mount Airy Leader. On last Monday night about sev en hundred people waited at the Opera house in this city for a be.iat- ed train to arrive that would bring the Hon. Thos. Settle, Republican candidate for Elector at Large, and Hon. John M. Morehead, Republi can candidate for Congress, u this District, for these well known gen tlemen were advertised to speak that night. Several local Republicans met the speakers at the traiil and all were immediately driven to the op era house, where the crowd was in waiting. After beingintroduced^by Jack Aibrighi, Mr. Moreiiead first addrei^sed the audience. He only spoke for a short time, dafiuing his position as a business man and pre dicted that the time was ripe for business men to take more interest in political affairs. This was Mr. Morehead’s first visit to Surry, and while he did not attempt to discus.‘^ the issues he made a good impres sion upon his hearers, and those he met afterwards. After an introduction by R. T. Joyce, Thos. Settle, so well known and popular with Republicans in this section, proceeded tu a discus sion of the issues, both national and state. In national affairs he dwelt upon the brok(*n promises of Dem ocracy and ridiculed that party for a change of base in every campaign. He paid his respects to Josephus Daniels, w^ho he said was yelling negro in the News and Observer, and hobnobbing with the colored gentleman iu the North and West. F^e told how Daniels was a prohibi tionist in Noj’tii Carolina and was the head of tlie ’'ureau that was sending out literature to the whis key men in the doubtful states, and yet he exclaimed that he is the Dem ocratic boss of North Carolina. Ht strongly favored local self govern ment and his argument along thi!- line was forceful and seemed to please the crowd. While Mr Settle only spoke an hour his entire speech w’as well re ceived, and he fully maintained hi^ reputation as one of the ablest polit ical speaker's in the State. ^'Statesmen” and “Politicians.” New York World. , A New York society leader, .seeking to explain thfe absence in America of the “political hostess’’ —who is one of the pest of English politics—declares that the ideal of such a hostess could not be realized here because we have only politi cians, while Eno^land has states men. No doubt must of Fifth avenue fondly believe.s this. A certain class of Americans w^ho, to save their lives, could not tell which wing of the capitol the Senate cham ber is in, will discourse almost elo quently about the general inferiority of American j)iiblic men to their English conteuiporai'ies. Yet there i-^ no I'^nglish ‘^states- men” today who cammands the in ternational reputation and personal infiueuce of eiil.ier Mr. Roosevelt or Mr, Bryan There is uo member of the English cabinet who is the intellectual superior of Mr. Tait, Secj'etary R.of>t or Senator Xnox. There is more actnai g(»verumentai ability in the United States Senate than iu the House of Commons, which has seven times as many men;ibers. North Carolina Day.

North Carolina Day will be ob served by all the public schools of the State, and the pamphlet will suggest a progTam for the exercises. Six lives were lost at Cleveland Ohio last Thursday w'hen a Toledo and Ohio Central ]mssenger train carrying nn excurf:im cro ''d from Biowing Green fair into Toledo, was run into from the rear ut Sugar Ridge by a freight train. At Berlin Germany recenliy 20 tiersons were killed and nineteen hurt as a result of two trains travel ing in the same direction on differ ent branches leading to the main road came together at the switch. They were running at a high rate of speed, which caused the shock to be a tremendious one.
