He recalls the' fact that the Southern is 1 taking off every train H can ,and has i stopped double-tracking and all other Improvements. 'But what we want to know Is what this business man or any other business man has rot to do with It He may be an undesirable citizen or a- malefactor of great wealth for all we know. We reformers of railroads would like to have it understood that we are not tunning this thing to meet v the views of such as he. He ex presses the apprehension that in an- other year the Southern will be in the hands of a receiver. Man alive! Don't you understand that that is exactly what some Of us want to see happen? In all gravity anj this last question s asked gravely it is very unfortu nate for the State that the sentiments of the business men are so little heed ed. It is frequently pointed out that only 1 per cent of the people . of ' Jforth Carolina Jive Jn the towns, It Is somehow figured that the interests of these and of the S2 per cent, who live In the country are antagonistic and legislation Is directed to what it Is thought wUl please the latter, but there "was sever a greater mistake than to .'suppose that the country people are in sympathy with the war on the rail t roads; they have as much sense as any other class and are as regardful as any of North Carolina's well fare. They have no stock In this antl-rall-joad agitation and if they would speak put and make their opinion known It would stop. i THE CONSTmJTION AND THE SU- PIU-3UE COURT. Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court of the United States, the oldest member of that distinguished body In point of service if not In years, deliver d a notable address before the Ken tucky Society of New York Monday night; and The New York Globe, sum tnarislng It says: ' "It Is well with the constitution.

Jt might be further said that the burden Of Judge1 Harlan's address was the delegated and reserved rights "of v the States, upon which point he said: "The fact is not as the pesulinUt al leges It to" be, The American people are more determined than at any time , In their history to maintain both na tional and State rights, as those rights ' exist under the Union ordained by the J constitution." f Justice Harlan Is a great man and - tie speaks with authority epealca for the Supreme Court If anything were ' needed to add , to public confidence in the great tribunal of which he is so distinguished a member, his words on this occasion supply It . - Hon.

Kov t.i i'y the charges al ready made had corre to be needed for the exchange's own sake, as well as for the sake of the grower ftnd the spinner, Is well shown ty a dealer quoted In The New York Journal of Commerce. r ;'' . .' !'That many local spot firms doing an export business here arhould have availed themselves promptly , of the advantages pur contract now presents for business of this kind." commented this observer, "shows how much of a change for the better you have made the aspect Of thinfi In this respect. because until September dl. 1807, the differences at which the grades. In their relation to middling, could be delivered on the New York contract. owing to the revision rulings of your predecessors, " were ho far way from market or coromerclaV differences as to have brought about la February last a discount on Maroh contracts of 18 (points below middling, which, with other, objectionable features, made our exchange so (extremely 'vulnerable; to attacks and criticisms as to have very greatly lessened the volume of buslij neas done there, and Incidentally lovp- ering; by more than one-half the mar ket value of the memberships from what that "value ' had been ,rnlv twelve month before, or $10,000. against 123,500." In short, tlfe New York exchange's extreme emphasis upon pure speculation to, the injury of legitimate business finally so re acted upon the exchange that the re cent reforms became necessary as a matter of self-preservation. Having found those reforms highly beneficial as far as they go, . however, little the mere gamblers might like them, what appears to be a Majority of members Is now . advocating their further ex tension.,. The exchange has thus "had the error of Its former practices Im pressed upon it very strongly. It Is in fair way to rehabilitate itself with the South and the cotton world at large, and there should be a general disposition to encourage all proper steps In this direction. It is the glory of our American sys tem that the opportunities for men to rise in life are limited practically by their capabilities only. Mr. A. Ram; seur, as has been previously stated, has been relieved of the superintendence of the Salisbury-Ashevllle division of the Western North Carolina Railroad and is succeeded by Mr. R. E. Simp son. The Morganton Herald says the latter was born and reared at Glen Alpine, Burke county, and began work on the railroad twenty-five years ago as a section hand, it is tne merit of the railroad business that men advance In it on their capacity and worth alone.. It Is one, line of activity In which favoritism cuts no figure but In which merit counts for everything. The writer has received during the holidays few things that he values more' than card, sent by a friend In another,, town, bearing this sentiment by Dr. Van Dyke: ; I am thinking of you to-day. because It Is Chrlatmas, and I wish you happi ness. And to-morrow, becaust it will 'be the day after Christmas, 1 shall still wish you happiness; and so on clear through the yar. I may not be able to tell you about it every day; because I may bo far' away: or because both of us may D very nusy; or perr.spe be cause I cannot even afford to pay the postage on so many letters, or llnd the timo to write them. But that make no difference: the thought and the wish will bo here just the same. Whatever joy or success comes to you will make me glad. without pretense, ana in plain words. ood will to you is what I mean, in the ptrit of Christmas." Isn't tljat fine? Thus the New York Sun; , "Our prosent national banking system has terved its purpose well, even mar vvlously well. It merit have been touted again and again. The losses which have occurred under It have been Insignifi cant." To which The Wall Street Journal replies: "With the exctptlon that our present banking system has served and continues to serve Its purpose worse than any other great banking system in, the world, while It has hroken down every time it has benrt seriously tested, with' Incalculable long to commerce and damage to credit The Hun's statement Is substantially correct" - ' . , No need for us to say anyttilng, i There Is no place which has not been more or less pinched bjrft the panic. Charlotte has perhaps sabered as little as any of them, yet It has not been exempt. Nevertheless there la concurrence of testimony by the busi ness men of the city that the holiday trade was never so good and some testify that their cash trade was never so large. How to reconcile the 'panic facts and attendant tightness of money with the volume of the Christ mas business we do not know but It is Just that way. It seems to be getting about as dan gerous to chase blockaders in North Carolina as It is to hunt wild animal in Indls, Following the murder of Revenue Officer Hendricks In Stokes county last week, comes the Story of two officers having been ambushed and fired upon on the Iredell and Yadklu lino, last Saturday, fortunately without injury to either. The moonshiners are not only a pestiferous but a dangerous class and those In this State seem to be increasing their detunes and ag gressiveness. i , - ' , y ' The Catawba County News, refer ring to A recent editorial in The Ob server which crltldseor an article lh The News -which had . criticised ,- it. ays that what It had intended to say wa that "thess large Sunday papers are never all read by anybody," and thajt tt was "not referring go the mer its or demerits of Tb Charlotte Ob server's Christmas dlUon," .::.

Christmas is gone for him gone for us all. ' Candy has become too sweet the springs have been torn out of the jumping monkey, the wonderful rail road train has run' off the track and the valiant tin soldier has lost his gun Some eyes are already sweeping the horizon to see if a new Santa Claus Is coming across the world in ' his magic coach. Children's hearts : 'are not faithful to a yesterday. ; None of us may stop long at Use resting places that Kindly cuBtom prepares, . vniy moment for a breath: we may cast a swift glance about us and gather up our strength. Then we bend again to the hills. The uoward way calls to youth and will not be denied; the downward way calls to age with a per emptory voice. ,. , , v . ' , : , ; This Is at once the sorrow and the glory of bur kind. There is In the human soul some goaa urn anves us on always on: if we must leave .. the place or time to which something in us clings, we must also arrive at some place a little higher, somewhat far ther on the . way to the mysterious there." We leave the one witn sor row: ,we looK to tne otner witn joy. But when will we arrive, and where? If vou ask this v auestlon. withdraw somewhat from the noise and dust of things: let the sound of earth's striv ings come to you as from far away; listen Intently to the I ootsteps of man kind through all the centuries; be very still with, the face of youf soul turned upward. You may hear the answer. But ws are about to ; forget the child's question. How long Is a long timet It Is very short. Thia will be riddle to the child; but the years will explain all too soon. :.V s "I hope you have had 'merry Christmas, madam." "Verw haony. thank you.

And we may be par doned for wondering- how much It would have meant to him to hear wlu prophetic ears the words of, the cultur ed woman: "We have spent the day in the pleasure of reading Mr. McNeill's poems." It no doubt would havs giv en wings to the soul of the man who wrote the words!- "Wingless 'Wf. Jnove so slowly." . But perhaps he heard these words to-day.

The performance . to-night at 'he Academy of Muslo of the Puccini opera "Madam Butterfly'.' will be the most notable event ;of the . theatrical season In Charlotte. From near and far the people are streaming into t.te town to avail themselves of the op portunity to see this great tragic op era produced here by the Henry Sav vage Grand Opera Company. It is quite a noteworthy fact that Char lotte Is the only town In the Stat of North Carolina which Is being hon orej by a pert ormanoo of this master production, a fact which Is quite a compliment to the muslo lovers and theatre-goers and shows that the Queen City is thought a town of some musical eonseauence after all. The : special train that carries the "Madam Butterfly" company arrives sera this morning, Miss Phoebe Strakosa, who will create the title role to-night, hav ing traveled ahead, reaching the city at a late hour last night Tho pro duction to-night will indubitably be a magnificent one, as the rIeaJu parts will toe sung by. those artists who made the greatest Wt livNew York.
