-V.-. ' - BOONE WATAUGA COUNTY, N. C TriUHSDAY, NOVEMBER, 25, 1897, ' Wataiiga ; Demiocra M 4" ID p. VOL. IX. I.'. o if o WASHINOTON LETTER. . Fran oar &s;nlar Correspondent. "Teddy'' Roosevelt may eoon be out of u job, if he doesn't learn "".o bridle his ton Knewhen talking in pnblicup on suhjeets on which the ad ministration's po ition is offi ciall.v uminnonnced. He whs given a hint ofttiis when here turned from New York, where he made a n a f ter in nir speech on the necessity of our h a v :: injr. having a fighting Navy if we wished toeseapethe rid jnileoi the world, anil ha v inr uiir decla rations eoiicprn- r. ijr the Monioe Doctrine treated ns murely po much hlnster. "Teddy" usen Haw tni.fora dummy in order . to irjve (he ndministrntion's nllt-oed Cuban poll y two or three h?avy ho.ly blows, but the application ivns too plain to be overlooked. He has been warned not to do so a gain. The administration ispla.t iny; horse with the Canadian Premier, who, with a party of officials is in W ashington, ostensibly to attend theseal inj? conference, but in reality to wound this government on the probability of negotiat ing a reciprocity treaty. The President hasswaped 'taffy" with the Premier and given him a dinner; Secietar.y Sher man has done the same, and he has been turned over to Mr. Kasson. Chief Cook of th Reciprocity Kitchen, to confer on the subject. He'll gt. all the conferences he wants, but when England really authorizes her embas sador, or some one else, to try to negotiate a treaty of i-ommeieial reciprocity which shall embrace Canadian pro ducts it will be found that so far as Canada's, principal products are concerned, it will bean impossibility. The Canadian Premier' doesn't seem to know that in a mini ber of states, one of the main arguments used in the last National Campaign for re publican success, was that it would shut out Canadian competition. The Spanish Minister has begun his entertainment of public; men on a scale which indicates that n o matter how hard up Spain may be, it has no intention of red no ing the amount of money spent in Washington in the attempt to make friends fjr Spain, The first blow-out. of the Spanish Minister was an elegant dinner, nt the swell Metropolitan Club, in honor of a Spanish editor. The Ad ministration nnd the United States Supreme Court were well represented at this din ner, but either the wily Span iard must have thought it needless to waste his expen sive dinner on Congress, or the Congressmen asked must have sent regrets. Be that as it may, Senator Elkit.s was the only member of the lfgislative branch of theGov " eminent that attended the dinner. The Rilk stocking element or the Maryland republicans, beaded by Senator Welling :,s ton, arestrainingevery nerve '" in tjjeir efforts to make sure that 1h Maryland legisla ture does rfot elect Represent a ti ve M add to succeed Sena tor Gorman. These men probably -4inow what thev,v are doing, but their activity against Mudd who is consid ered in Washington as the weakest of all the aspirants to Senator Gorman's s'at, reminds one of going after Reed birds with Guttling guns. The Post Office Depart ment has officially decided that the Interior Department was right when it disbarred John Wedderburn nnd John Wedderburn & Co., from practice before the Patent Office, for gross frauds upon gullible clients, and has issu ed a fraud order .m gainst John Wedderburn, John Weil derburn & Co., and the Na tional Recorder, a newspaper owned bv them. This order shuts them out of tin mails, and will cause all matter ad dressed to them to be return ed to the writers, alter being officially stamped "fraudu lently." Newspapers which continue to print If'edder burn & Co's., advertisement after knowledge of this fraud order may also be shut out of the mails The general opinion among the most prominent demo crats who have ueen in Wash insrton since that republican fight upon the election of Boss Hanna, has appeared to grow to such large pro portions, is that the demo crats of Ohio should have nothing whatever to do with it. There is, of course, a bare possibility that enough re publican members of t h e Ohio legislature would, if the democrats .vould hdp them, be willing to elect someother republican to t h e Senate than Hanna, but the most powerful microscope made would not show the smallest particle of advantage to the Ohio democrats in defeating Hanna and electing another republican to the Senate. As long as Ohio has got tohave another republican Senator, Hanna is the btst man, for the democrats, both in Ohio and elsewhere, that could be chosen. Hut. even if it would be advantageous lor the democrats to knock Hanna ont and help to elect some other republican, i t would not be advisable for thedem ocrats in the Ohio legislature to become parties to a deal with the alleged auti-Hanna republican members of that body, for the simple reason that Hanna, with the aid of Mr. KcKinley, will almost certainly be able, by the use of patronage and other meth ods, to get a sufficient num ber of republican votes to be e!e -ted. It is a fight between Hannaism and Forakerism, and no democrat should in terfere. RURAL DIXIE. Every farmer should sub scribe for Rural Dixie, the new Southern agricultural nnd family journal.

Madrid, Nov. 17.-T h e Spanish Cabinet this evening d i s e is s e d Cuban auto nomy, the principal bases of which are the enjoyment of all the rights accorded by th Spanish constitution without curtailment whatever; the identity of political and civil rights for Spaniards and Cu bans without distinction of racs or color, and the crea tion tf a cnban chamber, the members of which are to be elevted by popular vote. A cuban Senate is to be created lafer on. The chamber is to empow ered to vote the budget ex penditure, make laws con trolling services, establish customs tariffs' and decidp the relative responsibility of the executive officers. The motherland will have exclusive control of interna tionnl affairs, military ar.d naval matters, and of the or ganization of the tribunals. Spam also retains the di rection of the political and civil lawj of n national char acter, and retains control of the expenditures of the same character. T h e executive power will be vested in a gov ernor general with deputies appointed by himself. Roth the governor general and hi& depfftjf. will be re sponsible to the cuban chain ber. The Ci p and tin Fountain. A certain man placed a fountain by the wayside, and he hung a ?up near to it by a little chain. He was told son.e time after, that a great art ciitic had found much fault with its design "But," said he, "do trnny thirsty persons drink at it?" Then they told him that thousands of poor men, wo men and children slake their thirst at this fountain; nnd he smilei and siiid that he was little troubled by the critic's observation, only he hoped that onsomesultry summer's da.r the critic him slf might fill the cup and be refreshed mid praise the name of the Lord. He is my fountain, nnd here is my cud; find fault wit hit if j'oii please, but do drink of the water of life. I onlj-cnre for this. 1 had rather bless the soul of the poorest crossing sweeper or rag gatherpr, than please a prince of the blood, and fail to convert him to God. C. II. Spurgeon. "CllNUMAN'S DOME.'' The late General Clingman has the highest monument in North Carolina, although he died a pauper. The loftiest monument ia the State is Clinnmnn's Dome. On the bald summit of Mt. Mitchell stands an iron mon ument over the grave of a man who lost his life in pro.v ing tho inaccuracy of a state ment similar to this of The Chronicle Professor Mitchell of the Universitj' of North Carolina, measured the alti tude of the peak that bears his name and proved that it is t ie monarch of all the A p. palachians and that. Cling man's Dome, onl.r a mileand a half d'stnnt, h notnshigh. The story of Mitchell's suc cess and deatli and the dis covery of bis body by "Big Tom Wiison" is the most in teresting story connected with t h e North Carolina mountains.- Greenville News. Three Axlomntic Truths. IV'e seldom find anything in the New York Sun to quote, but it is the brightest if the most vicious of newspapers. In a recent issue it contained three truthful paragraphs: "The National Democratic party of so-called gold Dem ocrats will soon lose even its name. "A man must ben republi can or a democrat; and a democrat is a Bryonite. "Mugwumps. Cuckoos, stuf fed prophets, unifying forces, and their like, take notice." There are still a few men who vou-d tor McKinley whose democracy is so "straight" as to think they can boss the tarty whose candidates they bolted, but they are growing less every day as cotton drops. McKinleyisin and five cent cotton are anonymous. News and Observer, The latest story from Klon dike is that a man w a s caught out in a wind storm. The ground was dry and dus ty. When the man ent home he coughed up $73.15 in gold dust. To Core CoiMtlpatloa Forernr. TskeCasc:irt Candy Cathartic 10c oriKc II U C. C (ail to euro, lrui;tiaU refund Honor- Two Road to Happiness. Thfre are two ways of being happy; we may either dimin ish our wants, or augment our means-either willdo-the result is the same; und it is for each man to decide for himself and do that which happens to be the easier. If you are idle, or sick, or poor. however hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are activeand prosperous, or young, or in good health, it may beeasier for you to augment your means than to diminish your warts. But if you are wise, you will do both nt the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are very wise, you will do both in such a wav as toaug tnent the general happiness of societr.-Benjurnin Frank lin. Pointed Paragraphs, A man with loose habits is the one that is oftenest tight est. Fools try to convince a wo man but wise men try to per suade her. The laborer is not worthy of his hire when it is higher than his worth. Talk is cheap and the bar ber nUvAjs supplies it at cut rates. Sound money U what the organ-grinder gets for mov ing on to the next block. Threshing doesn't always separate a boy from his l-rop of wihi oats. Fine clothes do not make the woman, but they some times break the husband. The man who is too pocr to 'end his friends money will never have many enemies. Time works wonders. So would a man if he put in twenty-four hours a day, like time does. Uirs the People Facts. But can North Carolina be redee ned? The Raleigh News and Ooserver is showing by publishing facts and figures every day that the fusion crowd is robbing the State and giving offices to Incom petent, negroes, thus opening the eyes of some 25,000 hon est white men who were led off last year by Butler and his gang. The most of these voters are in the country, and are now waiting the op portunity to remedy the evil they unconsciously wrought. Owe us in the country the condition of things as they exist, and old North Caroli na will rally to the yell of its leaders when they cry outfor the "white man and white metal" jointly. Bed Springs Citizpn. From the Lone Star State cornes the following letter, written by V. F.Gass. editor of the Mt. Vernon, (Tex.) Herald: "I have used Chum berla in'h colic, cholera and dial i bin a remedy in myfain ilv for the past, year, and find i' i he btst remedy for colic and diarrhoea that I have ever tried.
