There is no denying the fact that we Democrats were on Tuesday night astounded and confounded. That Park er might be defeated thwt of coorw! Was atnotrgoureounts and discounts. But other an- noun'eenients excited more than transient incredulity. I was in the parlors of. tho Na tional Congressional Com mittee of the Democratic par ty in the Riggs House when the wires first betran to buzz CongresmunCowherd, cbair man of tha Committee held the floor b ' bis usual buoy aut temper, and walked up und down reading aloud the dispatches handed to hihr He; had' j ut returned from the West wbWe he had found his' own Kansas l ty 'District 'all right and secure" und hd"dtftcbveTed ftiat 1 Missou ri "otight to give 40,000 for Patlter;'; , EVeh before the re tufbs began1, to come in he was fueling vtsry sore because in party had4 n o t' Backed' u p biir C6mmrtteeand when a djsatcfrsaid tba t Penney 1 vanlfl would send to Congress oriI)waocrat and thirty one republicans he came as near prbTa nlty as' he ever- d oes, and tftld' tne Iwratlreils of f rienaltWatrfHi ro ulrd hi m that his committee had 'not receited a'siogle dollar from the national committee dur ingtbe campaign and that the members had taken $500 nut of their own pockets to pay for the only printing they had been able to get! The declaration caused grave faces; sharp comment, and many expressions of symps thy, e8peially when it was announced that Cowherd bad been tttWthrtJWtTfn bis own district because be had been compelled to be present in Washington. He is very pop ular tn the House, one of the shrewdest, readiest, enter prising members, chosen out of the entire body because of his political sagacity. The causes of the landslide to Roosevelt? for there are many. Yon can judge as well as your correspondent can. There seem to be in the U. S. about eighty million opin ions on the subject, I asked a prominent Republican yes terday for his diagnosis. He said: "Well, by his sagacious action, Roosevelt made him self solid with the Catholics, the Hebrews, the. negroes, and the union labor vote. He rushed the Panama business tbrongh, and, whether right or wrong, the people like a man who does things. The normal Republican vote on Tuesday was reinforced by a million men who a ant the President always to carry a cbipon bis shoulder and who will back him np to any ex tent; "And all the geople cried 'Come, brother! Yonr one good term deserves anoth er!" Senator Jones seen at bis residence here says it was the alleged prosperity that car ried th duy", the people who bay money and the- peopl who how to eet monvy. To -this Mldd .the' btlliger aut feeling which bus prevail ed in the United Stutes for the last six years, filling the streets with boys in uniform and sending to the polls an army of prewrted Democrats willing to follow to ny con quest Theodone the King of Northern Golhs. A Republi can friend of mine insists that every lynching anywhere In the United States cost the Democrats at the polls on Tuesday teu thousand votes. But I think he is dreaming. The President's formal dec laration that under no cir cumstances would be be a candidate for reelection is re ceived here at par as a ein cere avowal. It seems a lit tle premature, bat it is just like the impulsive Roosevelt. The fact, however lemains that a President of the U. S. is no longer the arbiter of his own destiny, and he is liable to be seized by eulogists and flunkeys and dragged into the White Honse again even against bis own p r o t e s t. What be wil do during these next four years nobody, can tell. He can so conduct him self as to promote universal harmony amity and peace; or be can adopt a policy which will make bis name a synonym of aggression and conquest, and bring the re public to the verge of ruin. He should be kept straight by the consciousness that the eyes of the world are upon him The numerous bronze gen tleman on horseback that preside over the squares and circles in this city are to re ceive an illustrious reinforce ment in the person of a soli tary pedestrian i n military nniforra of foreign and anti quated aspect, whose metalic counterpart will be unveiled in the grounds of the new war College next Satuiday. These are better known as the Arse nal Grounds, but during the last two or three years a long row of limestone villas has been erected heie for the use of officers, and fronting them on the other side of the park are being built very compre hensive and substantial bar racks, adequate to all emer gencies. The personage to mount the pedestal is Freder irk the Great, one hand rests on his sword hilt, and the other carries a cane perhaps the very cane that his father belabored him with when the youth was caught in his boy ish pranks; perhaps the very sword that be flung away at the battle of Mollwitz when be found refuge in a barn ten miles from the battlefield; perhaps the very cocked hat which he wore when he sold his Hessians to George III to conquer the American colo nies withal. Our forefathers tore down the statue of Geor gelll in New York City and moulded it i n t o bullets on that occasion; but thin stat ue of Frederick, presented by the Emperor William, is to occupy one comer ot a quad rangle in t n e War (kI!ege grounds is id example to American youth. The other corners are, it is rumored, to lie occupied by Alexander the Grt. Naio1eori Bona parte, and The1 "lor another quadrangle at t h e head of the "wriHy close'' probably will be d:nrnted with the statueM of Cornwall' Cortez, Captain Kidd, u n d Jack the JJiant-Killer. T h ceremonies on the 10th will consist of the formal presen tation by the German ambas sador and a grateful eulogy of Frederick by President Roosevelt. The illustrious British statesman John Moriey is in the city today, a guest of the President. He seems slightly incongruous, und etnbarruss iug, for t h i s is the Libera and courageous statesman who for years has opposed the insolent aggressions of his own country and ourt against the republics of South Africa and t li e Orient. A a little Eiiglamler, pro- Boer, and a professor' of the art of 'scuttling" one naturally wonders what he talks about with the President. NOt A SICK DAY SINCE. I was taken severely fcick with kidney trouble. I tried all sorts of medicines, none of which relieved me. One day I saw an ad. of your Electric Bitters and determined to try that.

Whatever incisures t h e next Congress may see 11 f fn dealwith.it is to he h pd that the Appalachian Forest Reserve bill, and the Brown-, low Good Roads bill will le ceive early and fuvorahlecon sideration. Both measures have been knocked from pi) lor to post, and finally bul led in thn oblivion of theeommit tee room, until one almost despairs of final action on bills' thnt mean much to the Southland. This is especial ly true of the Appalachian Park proposition, and con cerns this section ot the conn try most vitally. So mijeh- has been said along the lines that t h e r e is scarcely any necessity to again go o- ver the ground, but the pre servntion of-our mountain forests is h subject on which' the people should nevtrceabe to direct their fires. As stated in the President's message of 1902, the South em Appalachian region cm braces the highest peaks and argest mountain mass-s east of the Rockies. It is the great physiographic feature of the eastern half of the con tinent, a n d no such lofty mountains are covered with hardwood forests in all North America. A s , is generally known, thee mountains are visited with the heaviest and most destructive rainfalls in the United Sl ates, with the exception of the North Pacif ic const and the upper strata of the rich s jil would be wash ed awav when ouee denuded of its forests. The result from an agricultural point of vfrw must be plainly apparent, and if North Carolina is ever to gain prominence as a pro dnctive farming section her lands must be protected. In the message above referred to we find this significant passage: "More good soil is now being washed from these cleared mountain-side fields duiing a tingle heavy rain than during centuries under forest cover." "Tuereg. ulation of the flow of these rivers run be accomplished only by the conservation of these forests. These are the heaviest and most beautiful hardwood forests of the con tinent. In them species from east and west, from north and south minglein a growth of unparalleled richness m'd variety. They contuiu ium n species of first commercial value, ami furnish important supplies which caiinot be ob tained from any other re gion," The necessity of legislative action foi the preservation of tliH forests in the South- Appalachian range will there fore impress itself upon every citizen who has his country's interest at heart.

This was tul ly proved at last week's else tion, The Democratic party is entitled to the thanks of ery friend of temperance for the passage of the Watte law and its defense during the re cent campaign. Many Dem o crate feared that the pas sage of that law would al most wreck the party and that argument against its passage was strongly urged when the bill was pending ia the last Legislature. It hen the Stateconvention met Vast June at Greensboro many Democrats thought that an endorsement of the Watts law would be bad policy and probably defeat our candi dates in many counties.
