ATTENTION TO THE EIGHTH. It was gratifying to be able to print- in our Raleigh special yester day that "During the last two weeks of the campaign the Democratic 8tate committee will put a number of the ,!, strongest campaigners In the eighth , dlstrcC -which la recognised as a close district and where there Is a big light on." There would be no wisdom in trying to conceal the fact that the contest In the eighth district is a close one. It is the one really doubt- ; ful district in the State. The Demo - crats can carry it and should not lose It The Issue concerns not them alone but is of general Interest and tji may be of far-reaching consequence. . There is an excellent prospect of "Democratic control of the lower house ' of the next Congress, which It is lm portent for many reasons to achieve, -tdT none more than that it would eouad the requiem of the unspeaka ble Cannon. This hope should buoy every Democrat and Inspire party managers everywhere nowhere more than In North Carolina. This State should not fall to contribute its full .' aot of representation to the object a much desired; and in view of the fact above suggested that the eighth , district Is close and doubtful it Is par ticularly pleasing to learn that tbe . State committee is to give It special Htentlon. Wi have all sorts of faith lo the voters of the district; the boys la the trenches will bend special ;; nergy, we belieTe, to secure the re turn of Representative Hackeft; but 1 outside recognition and aid win count t for much and that they are to have these is good news. -Jadge Taft is not holding up par ticularly well, physically speaking, '; -nnder the strain of the campaign; . and The New York Sun, Republican, contemplating his possible break- . down, remarks: "if spent nature were to call a halt and Mr. Taft were to , break down, the responsibility of do- ' Jng the heavy work for the Republi can ticket would fall upon the Hon. ' James Schoolcraft Sherman, the can- , 31dab for Vice President Mr. Sherman Is neither a magnet nor a spell-binder, and by his flippant parti san speeches he is repelling and not ' convincing undecided voters." It Is true. anny Jim ts cot half as ef- i fectlve on the stump as Old Whiskers.

The reader noticed In the, Raleigh correspondent; of . The , Observer ot Thursday and ' yeaterday that the State Hoepital -?Commiaaioit 5 at. Its meeting tit Raleigh Wednesday night "made the accessary: erdefs tor two new buildings tor onuroptlve at the Western Hospital . Morgn'toa"-r- nwaninf the State , Hospital there; that "one of th building 111 fee tor males and the other for femalea and to them wlU be sent aU the patients of this type fim every:, pert : $he State;- that tt la felt that this la a very admirable step to take" and that "there la a number of tuberculous patients in the LHospltei here Kal elgbj and these vrlll be transferred .to that at Morganton." "I- It Ir profitable, In thia connection. to refer to the act of the legislature haptcr 1)1 of the laws of HOT creating the Hospital Conaisilssloti and to note Its limitation It Is Observed that by Section S Its duties are spec 1- I fled, thus: (a) It Is authorised to purchase lands as It may deem neces- 1 ... . .I.- tr..nM.I. . f Y.ll,r, Morgan ton and Goldsboro; (b) It may purchase lands in other sections of the State; (c) TTpon the lands so purchased, or upon tbe lands now owned by said Hospital, it shall cause to be erected, equipped and furnished such additional buildings, provide water, heat and light, either upon the colony or cottage plan, for the care and accommodation of all mental defectives. Including epileptics and idiots; (d) It Is authorised to make repairs and additions to present in stitutions as may be necessary for the economical and humane manage ment. In other words It was to be a build ing committee, authorised by the Legislature and appointed by the Governor, . empowered to buy lands and put up houses to be used In car ing for the mental defectives of the State. Nowhere in the act Is It given 1 authority to order the admission of any class of patients to any Hospital or to swap any class from one insti tution to another. It Is now proposed to build quarters at tMorganton and tlnload all the consumptive Insane of the State upon that Institution. We shall be surprised if its authorities do not protest The Hospital Com mission should know (It must pardon us for saying so; we do not mean to be dlsoourteous;) that by authority of an act of the Legislature a ward for female consumptives has already been built at Morganton and Is now occupied, all the consumptive female patients who fall within the bacterio logical test having been transferred to It; that this institution has a legis lative appropriation to build a slmtlar ward for men and that it does not need any further appropriation for that purpose. What it does urgently need is a building for 100 men Its request for the modest sum of IS9, 000 with which to provide this has been denied, 'and it Is proposed, in stead, to make it the dumping ground for the State's consumptives when it has already provided and is in the way of providing for all of its owp, and tta!s independent of any action of the Hospital Commission. It looks like a purpose, to punish. We ask the people of the west. In the light of all the facts. If their insane have had a square deal? WAR-TALK INO IjTTTLE KKUVIA. Servians as a people have never been especially noted for Intelligence, but they will hardly be so idiotic as to let resentment at Austria-Hungary's action in formally annexing Bosnia and Hersogovina lead them Into declaring war. The annexation deals with a fact practically accom plished long ago, and Servian objec tions rest upon nothing more sub stantial than a natural reluctance to see provinces containing many people Servian In blood and language be come Integral parts of another na tionality. It need hardly be said that the annexed provinces are vastly bet ter off in union with Austria-Hungary than if fused with the turbulent and half-civilized little kingdom to the southeast. Servian interference would have little basis of right as distin guished from might. And' that might against Austria-Hungary, Servla, of course, signally lacks. By bombard ing Bat grade from the Danube river, which divides the two countries, Aus-tro-Hungarian gunboats and monitors could immediately compel sober sec ond thoughts. Th chief real Inter est AT the situation la that it Imperils King Peter's already precarious seat on bis blood-stained throne. Whether or not he yields to present popular clamor, the result must -almost cer tainly Involve tbe weakening of his position. And if his dynasty perishes by the sword which' slew its rival, or suffers banishment there will be no great occasion for sympathy. Col. Wattarson said in his Louis ville speech Thursday night.

' : Comprehending - ttat to ;, restore prosperity , to ' the .-Republican cam paign fund, ts rather mora urgent a duty. In tho view of the managers, than to restore it to the. country, The NwJ Tor Evening ost gets 'at iha leading cause of th WhltaHouse's suddenly , restored ,' good cehavlot. Th party", managers '.learned la 1101," , observes ; Th s Evening Post, "what a fine talent for raising money th President baa,; and they ar call ing upon him to mak use f It again this year. They can hardly hop that h will sa'abl to, deceive Mr. Harri man galn; and he cannot once more lake themoney of . Insurance com panies, which should have gone to th beneat of widows and orphana But there ar some things he can do to put the Republican treasury tn funds," and these, it is reported, Irs is entirely willing to undertake. The first and most difficult task laid upon him he has already begun to leave off his violent letter-writing. Ws pre sume he was told, what we ar credi bly Informed was th fact, that promi nent and rich Republicans absolutely refused to glv a cent, so long as Mr. Roosevelt was. as they expressed It. jumping en our necks three times a week.' Hence the. grateful silence of tbe past week silence which Is, in a double sense, golden." We really have no doubt that Mr. Roosevelt hushed un more on this aocount than any other. For the samo reason, he may remain oft the stump Th "malefactors of great wealth' are doubtless coming across noi pretty much as usual. And how about the Democratic campaign treasury and Its unquestioned needs T Tbat Is up to tho people. The Macon Telegraph thinks that the Joke on The Omaha Bee for con fusing tariff planks of party plat forms la tho best of the campaign thus far. No one has exposed the clap trap of the Republican tariff declaration better than th Omaha organ unwittingly did. But Just wait until election night or the next day. If the present trend continues th greatest joke of the campaign will be sprung then, and It will be sprung on the Republicans. WILL RETIRE COLONEL STEWART Renult of the Invest Igatloa by Re tiring Board Not Made Public, But it Is Understood In WasMngton That tho Findings Were Against Army OBicer. Washington, Oct.'9. The army re tiring board which has been Invest! gating the condition of the health, of Col. William F. Stewart, the so-called Fort Grant "exile," concluded Its work to-day and while the result was not officially made public, it Is quit well understood that the board found Colonel Stewart to be so seriously afflicted with valvular disease of th heart as to Incapacitate him for active service in the army.. The find Ing which has been agreed upon, will be reported trffie Secretary of War to-morrow and' it la 4 considered probable that Colonel Stewart's, re tirement by the President will follow. If not retired Colanel Stewart would still have more than four years , of active service, ana as na is -one 01 the oldest officers of th artillery corps, his friends contend that h would stand a good 'chance of reach ing the grade of. brigadier general. If retired he will receive three-fourths of his regular pay, or about M00 per month. Before the. board took1 the aubject in executive session to-day It heard a somewhat detailed statement by Colonel Stewart relative to his record In the army, aad also listened to brief arguments by Colonel Btew art's counsel and Recorder Rowland, who spoke for the service. Colqnel Stewart was not permitted to go Out side his medical record and when his attorney made an effort to elicit iron) him the circumstances under which he had been transferred from Fort Barancas, Fla., to Fort Grant Aria., Captain Rowland Interposed positive objection, in wnicn ne was sustained. Tbolonel Stewart said that he had been In the habit or .Aaxtng norse back rides of from 10 to IS miles a day for many years past until his re moval to Fort Grant a yar ago. He found at Fort Grant only on horse and as that animal was a crippla he was deprived of this opportunity for exercise. Whll at Fort Grant, how ever, he had substituted walking for riding and had generally thus covered from 8 to 14 miles a day. He had never felt any 111 effects from either walking or riding and up to a montn ago he had received no warning from any physician against those forms of exercise, notwithstanding hs had for It years been under tho observation of army surgeons. : Ho said that he had known ever since 1874 that his heart was affected, bat tbat he had paid no attention to th fact. Colonel Stewart stated that he had lasen in th service for almost 40 years and he added that ther were only four officers having a longer record.
