Maxwell, publisher of Maxwell's Talisman, is a very use REPCBMCAJT EXTRAVAGANCE. Mr. Uryan ha spoken ot, vw.ith great force,--and the 1 Democratic press has act forth with preclaenesa, ful American. Convinced that , thai n what hou, e a& th xtra- hop of the country lies in bq chang tng present economic current as to check centralization, of Industry and population and convert th wretched ness of city tenements Into happy contentment upon God's out-of-doors, Mr, Maxwell has shown himself a propagandist worthy of almost any cause. Hera la the slogan pt the movement promoted by him, , the homecrof t" Idea: "Every rhlld in a garden; every mother in a home croft; and individual industrial in dependence ror every worker in a bogne of his own on the land." Slums and crowded tenements he recognises as social dynamite, certain to ex plode if permitted much longer ex istence. Soup houses and other well meant activities of the charitable only foster this social sore. The human misery, disease and degener acy abounding In all great cities are products of congested population and must be treated accordingly. Only agance'of the -Republican party In national administration. This is seen at a glance 'In W fact' that -under Cleveland's second administration the total expenditures of the' government amounted to f 434, 500, 00 ,m. year, while the appropriations hay since increased rapidly until that for .the fiscal year beginning July 1st last amounted to Sl.OOO.OQO.OOO ; a year. These figures would, with due con slderatton appear startling, bat un happily they i make little impression upon the public mind, and the Demo cratic attack could be delivered with more effect upon, other of the na tlonal Issues. The Philadelphia Rec ord very truly says upon this point that There are many people, too many, who treat the wasteful expen ditures of the government with friv olous Indifference in the vague no tion that It is of small concern to them." This Is because of the fact that the national government's sys tem of taxation is Indirect. When P Oil TKJA L PROGNOSTICS 1 whm-uw ix sorm caiiolixa.

The man will follow the job. If the job Ls In the big city, there will the man and his family be also; if the job Is n the small city, the country town or the suburban manufacturing vil- age, man and family will be there instead. As the chief means of turn- ns the current outward Mr. Max well points to the Federal govern ments opportunities as a conserver of natural resources otherwise de- enough because in their cases the burden falls directly upon the tax payer. When the money comes other wise they are heedless, and cannot be reached by general appeals for economy or dealing In large figures. The tariff issue can be handled ef fectively, not by telling the people In a general way that it ls too high, but by showing them the Inequall- MR. BRYAVS GREATEST ASSET. Remarking that the RPDubllcan campaign does not show signs of vic torious progress and has, In fact, - halted all along the line. The Wash ington Herald proceeds to search out the chief cause. This it finds In the bank guaranty issue. "Tha action of leading Kansas Republicans favoring guaranty of bank deposits," observes The Herald with much point, "un horses Postmaster General Meyer, Is a defiance as to Mr. Taft's position, and the adoption of another Demo cratic plank by Western Republicans. It is not far short of party mutiny', yet It will not be surprising If tbe Republicans of Missouri, Iowa, Ne braska, and other State of the West line up for the proposition. Demo cratic Ideas have appealed strongly during the last four years to Western Republicans. In Iowa, where but a short time ago a string of banks shot the chutes to disaster, the peo pie have had an experience that leaves them peculiarly susceptible to argu Tnents for guaranty of deposits. Even in Pittsburg, where Republican Strength Is massed and bank fallur for a season were epidemic, within the past few days there have been free, open expressions by the people favoring guaranty of deposits. They favor protection In Pittsburg, and those careful people see but little use to gather shekels through a tariff only to lose them by dishonesty of bank officials. They seem to be Re publicans on the tariff and Democrats on the bank guaranty. Perhaps they are consistent In thus favoring pro tection In both forms." Th Herald considers the bank guaranty Issue equally Important as a chuho and as a symptom of the Republican party's threatened disintegration In the West. Unless wo are mentally Mind ami cannot see events as they puss, all this is true enouKh. The bank guar anty idea, spreading all over the coun try tho arguments against 't are dic tated principally by mistaken , f-ln-tereBt and will not bear serious analy sis except where Ihty attack the cru dity of some particular plan Is al ready a demonstrated power In tills presidential campaign. When Mr. Taft, who has avoided several sources Of weakness by Retting at leant partly off this or that plank of his party platform, declared himself flatly against fund-protected bank deposits, h did something very dung-rous. If such a course hal been deliberately taken from Ktrnng conviction and sense of public luty, we could tinder stand It readily, hut Mr. Tafi's brief published utterance practically ad mit a lack of study of the subject. He has avowedly taken Ills opinion for the most part at second hand. Had the Republican candidate view ed the political situation with a lit tle more insight, lie would certainly Hot have dismissed the bank guar anty issue with such offhand ease. The campaign ha developed no other Issue to potentially decisive ns this. If Mr. Bryan ' elected. Mr. Taft will hVJ the matter of bank guaranty chiefly to thank, and he will have but one pos.V'lo excuse ifor his care less mode of dealing with It he didn't know that It was loaded. tructlon-bound and as a developer ties of Its operation and pointing out for countless Individual citizens' en joyment of natural resources not otherwise Available. In his judg ment. Irrigation of the arid West, flood prevention, forest preservation Inland waterway improvement and proper disposition of the public lands all form parts of one great problam The country's natural resources must be viewed comprehensively and some grand scheme worked out for their harmonious treatment, so that each shall further the other. Out lines of what he deems essential to such a scheme have been formulated by Mr. Maxwell himself, and they in clude the Appalachian and White Mountain forest reserve to them, by specific Instance, wnere It is to their Interest that it snoum be lowered. BRYAX; TAFT; A COMPARISON. This significant editorial appears In the New Tork Evening Post, that able Independent Republican paper: Bryan's personality is against him and for him. We have probably had no can didate In this country whom so many people would like to support because of his Issues, and cannot because or dis trust In his personal stability. But if you tl, kind of man with whom erratlc- Inm In a radical politician is no fatal vice, Bryan's personality will show you many a winning line ana curve. i uu cannot deny him the gilt of the vibrant phrase; cheap one may often call it when tested with the acid of absolute reason. If It were not that eloouence. after all. is projects, not Intended to act on t)p solitary read- Hence the occasion of our present concern with the man and bis work From the forest reserve advocate's standpoint the most Interesting fea ture of Mr. Maxwell's outlined plan ls thut It provides for complete In dependence of appropriations by Con gress. Hinco no appropriations are er In the seclusion of his library. And then again, the vibrant may very often be true. Moreover. Mr. Bryan has added to his mental equipment the Inestimable gift o( humor; and that Is coin which passes everywhere. Me is willing to laugh quietly to himself. Thus when he says In Minnesota I know I am not tne nrsi choice of the Democrats In this State, but It Ih good to be even second choice In a Htate where John A. Johnson Is first,' he Is speaking In a manner admirably adapt- ohtalnnV.lo i.ntll tViA nnwnl AlairrnnA ed to the occasion. Solid Mr. Taft would . probably have said, 'We have - The Xew York Times has published the first of thrte political articles written by Mr. Cleveland within a short time before his death. Indicat ing clearly the writer's preference of Judge Taft among the presidential candidates. They wera Intended, of eonrse.for publication in his life time, and their publication, at this Juncture cannot be regarded other wise, upou fair . consideration, than as improper and In bad' taste. We caanot but believe that if Mr: Cleve land bad lived a few weeks longer, to read Mr. Bryan's address of accept ance and. his tariff speech, he would have modified this , manuscript very materially or, what is more probable, have withheld it altogether, ,', The native-born will hear with in terest that Senator Joseph M. Dixon, f Montana, North Carolina Quak er, has beenappointed - director of the national . ttepubllcaa speakers tureaa. : ' . - .'.v.'":-,.'- . f:-- to the Speaker's chair shall have been removed, this provision has great Importance. It indicates not only how appropriations may bo dispensed with but even how Speaker Cannon's pre text for his course In blocking them namely, that the project lacks a national scop.? may be rendered In valid. Mr. Maxwell's idea. In a word. Is that Congress can easily manage so as to have all public works In the grand scheme pay for them selves from the very start. Twenty million " acres of government forest lands In the West, now being taken up by speculators at $2.60 an acre under the "timber and stone act' though worth fully 1200,000,000 more than this purchase price, will furnish the means. Repeal the act, says Mr Maxwell, sell the matured timber on (he stump and, reserving the entire acreage as national forest land, di vide the hundreds of millions ulti mately reallod between forestry on one hand nnd Irrigation and drnlnage on the other. Then tho forest move ment would nt a step become na tional and create funds both for It self and two allied projects. Th. conservation and development of the country's natural resources would go forward without a penny from "any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated." Instead of working destruction upon lands and crops and ehokinx up rivers and harbors with silt, floods would b.i utilized for the Irrigation of forty-acre farms. The rescued forests would not only play the nniM beneficial part In this Inter related system ns great natural res- ervoirH hut would furnish, all the financial support necessary. This Is the programme, which Mr. Maxwell laid down In a recent address. It looks good throughout to us. The doubt which w entertain i very large one i not nhout Mr. Maxwell's scheme but the enlightened patriotism of Congress. "Why Is this still undone?" asked Mr. Maxwell himself In his recent nddress. "Tho underlying reason ls that you East ern business men have taken little or no interest In the matter and your lack of Interest Is reflected in your Congressmen. lie takes quite as lit tle Interest as ymi do, and the Con gressmen from tl East who am your representatives leave alt thosa West ern questions to the Western Con gressmen. The land-grafting combi nation In the West la the most pow erful political combination In the United 8tat"s to-day, and has suc ceeded In inoculating every Western Congressman with the sleeping-sickness microbe." Special spproprlatlons for the Ap palachian and White Mountain forest reserve remain our chief hope, but the prospect of an alternative so com prehensively beneficent as that sug gested by Mr. Maxwell gives us very great pleasure indeed. had our differences nf opinion, hut the delegates at C'hlcsgo have decided; let us now all get together." etc. Mr. Taft ls satisfying; Mr. Bryan Is stirring. Does not that dif ference measure their chances of sue cess?" This editorial, we repeat. Is signi ficant for the reasons that It places Mr. Bryan In shining contrast with Judge Taft to the Infinite advantage of the formtr, and that In its con eluding sentence It seems to be t clear forecast by The Evening Post of the result of the election. THE SUV NOT BOUGHT OVER. As a means nf breaking the force of The Baltimore Sun's support of Judge Taft the charge has been widely circulated that a controlling Interest In the paper has been bought by Charles P. Taft. a brother of. the candidate This charge is explicitly denied by Its own statement that "The Sun has not been bought by Mr. Taft nor by any one else, nor has any one any In terest in It except those connected with the family of Itg founder." n Is a subject of regret that this great paper could not see Its way clear to support Mr. Bryan In this campaign hut one of great pleasure that It Is aide to acquit Itself o promptly and unequivocally of a damaging accusa tion. It Is not tho only paper the policy of which has brought It undei th mean suspicion of being prompt' ed by sinister motives. A long es tablished and well-known newspaper should have credit for the character It has made as fully as an Individual has, and people should not breathe suspicion uprm It whenever It hap pens that they cannot agree with It. THE CITY'S FEVKR REY)RD. The typhoid fever record of the city of Charlotte for the current year. as shown In our news columns. should be a matter of gratification to all of our citizens. The figures, fifty- four cases from January 1st to Sep tember 1st. against one hundred and nlno cases for the corresponding pe riod last year, and twenty cases for July of this year against fifty-four for the name month last year, are eloqu.-nt. It Is Interesting to note that the figures for July last year corresponds exactly, with those of the wholo of the first right months of this year. Tho Improvement has; been marvelous, and the statistics should , relieve Charlotte of the un just opprobrium from which It has suffered In tho mind of the outside public an a place where typhoid fever Is peculiarly prevalent, f It has never deserved this bad reputation, but Its ffver record, population considered, was probably never so good as this year. The facts spak volumes for the purity of Its water and milk sup The dispatches tell of Hexeklah Monk. who was born in the Herkimer county poor house. New York, spent alt his days there, baring died Thurs day at th age of 85. His demon stration of talent for. living r off the public proves that if be had left his brth place in early life and given rein to bis ability, he would have achiev ed national distinction as a politician. This period when the airship is having so many sccldents is the time for the friends of thlatrest Inven tion to stand together and .not per- mlt themselves to be discouraged by small matters. Nebraska Placed at ttie Head of the t Array Indiana Really Doubtful .and Both elides Afraid of New York At This tstmgv of the Campaign "the Revolt la Uncertain Republi cans Plainly Uneasy. . J. C. Welllver, writing from Balti more to The Philadelphia Evening Times, Independent, thus presents the political probabilities at this stage of the game: ::J '. ;Jt v';- X Republican and a Democratic list, placed side by aide for. compari son, suggest soma of th uncertain ties.-of this sanvpalgn at the present dateTh truth I that it has not so far Uxea shape that there Is any basis of agreement as to the States which In the latter week of .the con test will constitute the debatable ground.' The Republican list of doubtful States at this time is beaded by Ne braska; then In. about the order of their .admitted -uncertainty come ' In diana, Tennessee, Kentucky. Missou ri, New York, Illinois and Ohio. Colo rado appear in soma lists, ana . so does Montana. But they are not con sidered Important on the Republican sid because they are not exactly nee essary for success In any of th Re publican calculations. ' On the other hand, the Democratic list place Indiana first. New. York second, and Includes Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, Colorado, ' Mary land. West Virginia. California, New Jersey, Iowa, Minnesota, both Da kota s and Idaho. Connecticut and Utah appear In some list and In all discussions. .. NEBRASKA IS UNCERTAIN. -Th Republicans admit that Ne braska ls uncertain; the Democrats nsist that it ls certain to he Demo cratic. Republicans admit some un certainties about Indiana; Democrats confidently claim It. Republicans claim a chance to win Tennessee and Missouri -and Kentucky; Democrats rank that trio of border States as cer tain for Bryan. Democrat say . they have a good chance for West Virginia; Republicans laugh at the idea, pem ocrats are confident of Colorado and Montana; Republicans count Colorado safe for Taft' and Mostana really un certain. Both sides talk with appar ent confidence for publication about getting New York by 100,000, and both sides in private conversa tion admit that the State ls very un certain. EACH CLAIMS CALIFORNIA, California is rated by the Repub licans as a rock ribbed Taft State; the Democrats always list it ss one ot their promising prospects. Wisconsin Is claimed by the Democrats to be one , of the most uncertain States In the Union, while the Republicans say It Is good for a big majority for Taft. Republicans list Maryland as tain for Taft, while the Democrats say that when Bryan has made his tour of the fitate. It will line up for him safely. Illinois and Ohio always cause mirth among Republicans wnen they are mentioned in a doubtful list; Demoer persist In regarding them as doubtful, and declare that the can didates for Ooverhor and Senator, on the Republican side, are even now ap pealing to their national committee for aid. That Senator Hopkins Is elth er worrying or else crying wolf In or der to get assistance that will make assurance doubly sure ls well known. The Senator has not made any virtue of over-claiming the situation. REALLY ON THE FENCE. What it Costs to Run For Senator and Governor in that State- tig ores of the Recent Campaign. ' Savannah Morning Newa . V It Appears that the most expensive individual race made In the recent .Democratic primary in South Carolina was. inaioi piayor Rhett. Of cnaries ton. who spent a little more than $S, 00 on bis contest for United States Senator and jot 20,000 votes, out of sS,000, or not enough to Put htm in th second race. ; Tbua Mr. Rhett's votes cost him, nearly! thirty cents each, or about flv time as much as was th cost per vote to the two lead ing : candidates. Smith and Evans, who will be In the second primary. Mr. Rhett spoke in every county of in iaie ana was accompanied by his secretary. The total railroad and bote! expenses for the two of them amounted to fSC7, This would. seem to Indicate that traveling cost con stitute but a small part of tbe eom palgn expensea Another , candidate, Mr. Johnstons, who ran fourth for th Senate, expended only i:9. 55. during the campaign, his railroad far being only I176.TS. Tha-cost of th campaign to Governor Ansel, who stood -for re election, and, made a winning fight, was lC,Sl. Th sun mentioned in clude th $50 entrance fee which is exacted of every candidate who enters tne primary and which must be paid to tne state executive committee b fore the candidate's name is permitted to be placed on the ticket, Th eandl dates who will entef the second race wiu oe required to put up some mon ey, ot course, to pay tbe expenses of tne next balloting.; It thus appears that a man who de sires to ran for office in 8outh. Caro lina must have something Ilk I50 in cash, that he is willing to rljk on the election. H must take into con sideration a possible second race. With IS00 be may get out. but it he has ten times that much, and wants the office he ls after very badly, he can spend It all ana then not get th of fice. At the same time It is possible for a man with less than 1500 to b a can dldate and "make a noise Ilk a man running for office.' &3ri ; Hen's doles FTP NORTH CAROLINA'S PART. Out of all this list of alleged doubt ful States It Is: Impossible at this stage to make one on which a disinterested observer would care to stake his rep utation as a prophet. But granting that conditions later may change present situations. It seems fair to say that these States are really doubt ful: Nebraska, Indiana, New York, Ten nessee, Colorado, Montana and Wis consin. 'In making this restricted list it Is assumed that unless a landslide such as Is hardly to be expected from any manifestations thus far, shall change the situation. Ohio, Illinois. New Jer sey, West Virginia, Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota will be (Republican. It Is likewise conceded that Missouri, Ken tucky and Oeorgla will be Democratic. Mr. Bryan is conceded to be play ing his politics cleverly and with Intel ligence this year. He is going to talk In Nebraska. Kansas. Iowa, the Da kotas, Minnesota,- Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana," Ohio, New York and Rhode Inland. NOT AN EASY FK3HT. The Republicans are no longer de nying that something very like the Hryan scare of August and September. 189B. has struck their ranks within the last fortnight. They set out blithe ly from Chicago to go through the mo tions of a campaign, .but most of them regarding.lt as pretty much nonsense; they would win In a walk. The trend of things since that time has been cal culated to increasfc Democratic and decrease Republican confidence that It will be no such easy victory. The local situation in New York Is still forming, and how it will crystal lize Is uncertain. Much will depend, as to the wholo course of the national campaign, on that State. If it becomes apparent to both sides that the fUato Is In grave doubt, there will be a concentration of energy there. That the country will go along with New York Is regarded' on both sides as In creasingly likely, The) Tariff Issue the Greatest Wad Loosener For Mr. Bryan In the Old North 8tatey New York Sun. Our always esteemed contemporary The Charlotte Observer- finds it necessary to make a slight, cor rection. Two or three days ago It gave editorial prominence to a Bryan contribution or it by Mr. George B. Anderson. Now It is compelled to reduce the amount to SI. and of course attenuate Its enthusiasm in proportion: "The contribution of Mr. George n. Anderson to the Bryan campaign eer- fund, acknowledged in Sunday's pa- wrongly listed as $5 when it should have been $1. We protest that this is not a case of embesxlement' on the part of The Observer and appeal to "Mr. Anderson as witness." Fortunately for the- spread of Bryan demonstration in the Old North State The Observer Is enabled to add: "We have the pleasure of ac knowledging another contribution this morning, that of Dr. M. T. Morphew, of Marlon, $5, who in re mitting writes: That tariff speech at Des Moines ought to cause every Democrat to work for Bryan's election.' So It ought, for It was a great speech. We await further con tributions." So it was we refer to the tariff speech a fine, coherent and perfectly Intelligible presentation. If Mr. Bryan will stick to the tariff and carefully refrain from trusts and corporations and other subjects which ne does not understand, or which understanding he mlsreoresents. North Carolina may yet be seduced into disgorging a number of five- dollar bills and to that extent fatten ing the now emaciated hat. A Davy Crockett Stunt. Hendersonvllle Hustler. Prof. a. E. Posey, who is In charge of Central Institute. Columbus, tells an Interesting tale of a Wildcat, which was caught four times by the same man; who each time cut off one of the cat's nails, and each time sold It to the same Northern visitor. Th cat escaped the fourth time and left Polk county for good. He didn't like It there, anyway. He wanted a change, and the man who had paid 120 for one wildcat Is still wondering where he comes In. 0 n n i r rare 91! TO Hf wee a tms MICHAELS-STERN FINE C LOTH I NC nessst. arc a e. xtsTia, m.
