"W ASHINGTON LETTER. M From ou? fiegulstr Correspondent fave we, as a people, any thing to gain by joining hands with Great Britain in a Napoleonic policy of world conqueet? Although the ad ministration is at present orefully concealing any dis position it may havetoenter upon such a policy, thedispo ctition is believed to exist, and that question may he- ome a leaning one in next years Presidf ntinl campaign. n diplomatic circles it is be- ieved that the first steps to wards such a policy has al- eadv been taken, and that he suspension of Dr. Bedloe as United States Consul to 'anton. China, at the request of the government of China, is one of them, although it is stated at the State Depart ment that the suspension of Dr. Bedloe was brought n bout bv some irregularity in connection with his issuing papers to an American ves sol engaged in supplying arms and ammunition tothe Filippinos and in issuing cer- iflcates to Chinese merch ants trading with the Philip nines. The present attitude ol greatness occupied by the U. S. was attained by following rom the days of ' Washing ton a policy o? strictly atten ding to our own affairs and leaving the people of other nations to'do the same. The glamour of foreign conquest has turned the head of the people of othernationsmany times in the past, nnd a few months ago thre appeared to be danger that the Ameri cans woiPd be blinded by the same glamour, but the com mon sense for which Ameri cans are renowned, has come to the rescue, and our people are realizing not only the meaning, but the danger of an imperialistic policy by the United Stales, and predentin dications are that the realiza tion will result in a restora tion of the democratic party to power, and a resumption oi the only safe foreign poli cy for this goyernment to fol low. Men who at the beinning supported the expansion pol icy of the administration, are now severely criticising the results obtained by following that poliey. For instance, the Washington Post, which has to all intents and pur poses been an expansion sheet says editorially: "Either we have not the genius and the temperament for successful colinization, or we have been grotesquely, unfortunate in the selection wT our agents. It is impossible to see at this moment where and in what respect we bave accomplish ed anything important ei ther in Cuba or in the Philip pines. In the latter we have undertaken to set up the reg inie of law and ordes and civ ilization, and we hve failed utterly. In the case of Cuba we have undertaken to give the people self goyernment, or at least to 'test their ca pacity in that line, and W3 have done neither., In the Philippines we have for six months or more been engag ed in a pet ty and s perfectly fruit lesK war with , the na tives. In Cuba the govern ment consists of a military autocracy, little if any more beneficent than that conduc ted by the Spanish Governor Generals in times'of pea?e. In Luzon it is actaal war we have upon pur hands. In Cu bn it is smouldering discon tent, turbulence in various parts of the island, and a fea ture of feeble tyrany at Ha vana." Two designs for the new 5 silver certiQcates, one having upon its face the vignette of Washington, aud the other one of Jefferson have been submitted to Secretary Gage. It is said that a republican Senator heard about t n i s and at once hurried to see Secretary Gage to tell him not to adopt the Jefferson design, because, if he did, it might become known as ns a democratic note. Be that as it may, treasury official a say that the JenerBon design is net likely to be adopted. The prediction that all of the 35,000 volunteers author ized by Congress would be en listed, has been almost van- fied. An order for the enlist ment of one more additional regiment which will bring the . number of volunteers noarlv up to the limit, has been issued by Secretary Boot and the new regiment will be composed of negroes. The o ficers will, of course, be com posed of white men. Notwithstanding the state mont of Secretary (J age that the treasury, would bo able to meet all the expenses inei dentu to the large army we are preparing to send to the Philionines. in addition to other governmental txpens es, without usking Congress to imoose new war taxes or issuing new bonds, expert fi nanciers who have carefully studied the matter, a n whose opinions are not influ enced by political exegences still predict that more bonds or more taxes will be necessa ry, and when it is remember ed that there was a deficit o $00,000,000 in round figures at the close of the lust fisca year, the prediction seems reasonable. It may also be mentioned that special a gents of the Internal ttevc nue Bureau arc known to have been engaged for sever al months in investigating the workings of the various stamp taxes, presumably with an eve to more Con tfression legislation in tha direction. Good Euoufih to Take The finest quality of loa sugar is used in the manufac ture of Chamberlain s Loug Kemeny and tne roots used in its preparation give ita flavor similar to that of ma pie syrup, making it pleas ant to take.

One thousand men went to Alaska last fall, nnd ol that number seven per cent, of them have died from scurvy or met tragic deaths. BOB TAILOR ON IX(1ER?0LL. "I sat in a great theatre at he national capitol. It was thronged with youth and beauty; old age and wisdom. saw a man, in the, image of lis God, stand on the stage and I heard him speak. 'His gestures were perfei- ion of grace, his voice was music and his language was more beautiful than any I had evei heard horn human ips. "He painted picture after picture of the pleasures and oys andsyinyathiesof home. Ie enthronged love and reached the gospel of human ity like an angel. Then I saw lim dip his brush in the ink of moral blackness and blot out the beautiful picture he had painted. I saw him stab ove dead at his feet. I saw him blot out the stars and the sun and leave humanity and the universe in eternal darkness and eternal death. "I saw him, like the serpent of old, worm himself into the paradise of human heaits and by his seductive elo quer.ee and subtile devices, and sophistry, fnject his fa tal venom under whose blight ta power faded, its music was hushed, its sunshine was dar kened and its soul was left u desert waste with onlvj the new made graves of faith und hope. "I saw him, like the lawless eratic meteor, without an or bit, sweep across the intellec tual sky, bnlliaut only in its self-consuming fire, generated by hiction with thoindestrue table and eternal truths of God. "That man was the arch angel of modern infidelity, and I said how true is Holy Writ which declared "The fool has said in his heart there is no God." Tell me not oh, Infidel, there is no Go no heaven, no hell leii me not. oh. lnndel. there is no risen Christ I "What intelligence TeE than God's could fashion the human bodj? , What motive power is it, if not God, , that drives the throbbing engine of the human heart, w i t ceaseless, tireless stroke, sen diner tho crimson stream ot life, bounding and circlin through every vein and arte' ry- "Whence and what, if no oKiotJ. is this invstery we call the minn? What is i that thinks and feels a n i knows and acts? Oh, who can denv the divinity that stirs within us? "God itjverywhere and in everything. Ills mystery is in every bud and blossom and leaf and tree; in every roc and hill and vale aud raoun tain; in every spring and riv ulet and river. "The rustle of Jiis wing is in the zephyr; His might is in every tempest. He dwells in the dark pavillions of t h storm cloud. The lightning is His messenger and thunder His voice. His awful tread is in every ear'thquake and on every angry ocean, heavens above us teem His myriads of shining Tr, wit wit nesses. The universe of so lar syptetns whose wheeling oris course the crystal paths f space proclaim through he dread halls of eternity. he glory and power and do minion of the Allwise, Omnip otent and Eternal God." The Textile Advance. Manulacturer's Record. There are indications that he textile department of the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College will be started as promptly astbe rcumstances will permit. fhe committee having spe- ial charge of the work , and resident Winston have be gun an active campaign to raise the funds for the build ing, and to secure machinery or its equipment. The tex tile manufacturers of North arolina arcexpected to show a practical interest by con- ributing funds, and the man ufacturers of mill machinery a re su ppl y i ng machinery . The time has come for North Car olina to engage to a much greater extent than at pres ent in the manufacture of fine cotton fabric. To accom lish this, greater efficiency of operatives and new ma chiuery are needed. A iextile school may be depended up on to supply the first, in ad dition to being a powerful in fluence for the diversification of textile operations, while mill builders will naturally, in selecting their equipment, be attracted to the machine ry with which the ne.w class of operatives and directors of mills are familiar. The tex tile department will thus be an object-lesson of most uti litarian character. T h e y mark the beginning of most significant advance in Southern textile intt-test, and will have decided influence up on the development of the in dustry in other parts of the South. Chronic Diarrhoea tyred. This is to certify that have had chronic diarrhoea ever since the war. I got so weak that 1 could hardly walk or do anything.

They procured therein edy from Mr. W. E. Casper, a druggist of that place, . who is well acquainted with'tbem and will vouch for the truth of their statements. For sale by druggists. There is a mystery in the Philippine commission, and while Piesideut Schurman as an individual may be enti tled to sympathy m his en deavor to avoid an interview since his return from Manila the newspapers are entitles to praise for seeking to giv publicity to the whole sub jeet. The pain of a burn or scald is almost instantly relieved by applying Chamberlain's Pain 'aim. It also heals the injuredarts more quickly than any other treatment, and without the burn is very severe it w,ill notleave a scar. For sale by druggi&td. TheCrnsnde ta Brief. , , Chicago has 600 churches. and 6,000 saloons. . . .'( What soberness conceals runkenness reveals. Nothing short of total ab- stinace can save the nation. Drink revenue is wet with tears and stained with drink. When liquor dealers are bu sy, the devil is glad. The most prolific 60urc-of strife is in the wine glass. Many a man withholds sol ids from his family when he can stand drinks for friends. The drink devil is still a po ent factor in politics. It is a poor race that starts . rom the saloon. It is not living for the right we have no right to live. It is much easier to "recti " whiskey than it is the evil it causes. The saloon and the drink traffic will soon go when christmns are in earnest. The mistake of the State is in locking up the drinker iu stead of the drink. One of the most sweeping temperance campaigns that the North of England has ev er witnessed is now on. Mem bers of Parliament, Lord Mayors, members of the no bility and prominent minis ters and laymen are speak ing daily. Ex. The substantial advantage which the democrats will pos m sess by reason oi tne anti- imperialist movement in the east, will be in the form of money contributions for the the campaign. There are a number of wealthy men who would not ordinarily vote the democratic ticket but who are fanatically opposed to the retention of tbe Philip pines, and will contribute to the Bryan campaign fund. The men who occupy this po sition are theorists and emo tionalists, who forget every thing in the intensity of their opposition to expansion. The Democratic campaign mana gers must not lose sight of these facts, which are patent to every one. The Administration in its great anxiety to avoid the is sue of more bonds to pay for the largely increased army, is seeking devious ways to raise revenue. Recently the Patent Office required the seals of notories public to be certified to by the clerk of the County Court in patent applications. As this means an additional revenue stamp of ten cents on tbe certificate the reason for this new re quirement is apparent. It is the poor inventors of t h e country who are beinpj bled by the administration to help pay for subduing the Philp pines. At a recent flower show in England, says an exchange, some sweet pea vines were ex hibited which were grown from seed taken from the tomb of an Egiptian mum my, buried some 2,000 years ago. The blossoms were of a delicate pink and white and were less than the ordinary size. . ' ,. : ,v OASTOIIIA. f 'J i "" i i. :
