THE MISSIONARY CONFERENCE. The great missionary conference in session in New York is the third and most important of world conferences held in the interest of missions. Al though in the conference the 223,000, 000 members of the Roman Catholic church and 'the 119,000,000 members of the oriental churches are not repre sented at all, still the 150,000,000 Chris tians who make up the Protectant odies include a greater variety of opinion than has ever before met to gether for a single purpose. This of itself gives hope of still greater fu ture harmony in Christian bodies. With the president of the United States to welcome them on the Dart of the nation, the governor of New York to welcome them on the part of the state and an ex-president of the coun'try to respond for them, 2000 delegates, rep resenting 104 Protestant missionary so cieties, were started upon their labors. The first meeting in Carnegie hall is described as a vast assemblage which made an impressive sight, and the many elements composing it a sugges tive one. "Statesmen were there who have attained eminence in politics; thinkers who have written books that are widely read; theologians who differ radically among 'themselves in matters of creed; missionaries Who have carried the Bible in one hand and ineir nves in me orner. into unex plored lands, and converts and mis sion workers from those same lands whose bright cos'tumes and swarthy complexions formed a sharp contrast to the sombre clothing of some of their neighbors. That these widely diver gent 'types should rally from all over the world to the support of such a cause shows that missionary work is supported by brains as well as by fer vor." Among the many things whicn are demonstrated by such a gathering is the fact that modern material progress has, by multiplying means of commun ication, made it possible to bring men from distant countries Into closer con tact. New lands have been put at the disposal of missionary zeal and the in terest of one has become the interest of all as never before in the history of the world. This gives an added im portance to foreign missions-, an im portance which must continue to grow -with the constantly extending field and the rapid increase in the common in terests of humanity throughout 'the world .

The democratic and populist conventions have each spoken in ro uncertain voice on this subject and it is equally certain' what position the republicans will take. The lines of bat tle for and against political freedom and future prosperity in North ar olinaf may be said to be already drawn, but upon the wisdom, that the republicans show in. organization and the strength they and the populists can draw to their support in this mo mentous contest will rest the issues. That lesser matters and individual preferences will be forgotten by inde pendent and intelligent citizens in the face of the danger tha't threatens the stlate is a foregone conclusion. That a strong party organization is needed around -which to rally 'the forces of opposition to the amendment and to overcome the operation of a partisan election law is apparent. The republicans are alive to this necessity and to the opportunity presented to them to stand for the rights of the people and the growth of the commun ity, and it is to be hoped that a rep resentative convention of the intelli gence and strength of the party will be galthered in this righteous cause, upon the success of which the future of the state depends. The second part of Mr. W. R. Hen ry's article on the issues of the polit ical campaign in this state will be published in the Gazette Tuesday morning. The war department announces that the rebellion in the Philippines is prac tically at an end. The only part of Luzon in which there was any import ant force of rebels at the beginning of the present year was south of Manila, and here they have been disperseu or captured. Generals w baton and 'Schwan were assigned to the task of cleaning out the rebels in that local ity, and they did their work with promptness and. thoroughness. The only resistance of any account which is likely to be offered to the American troops hereafter in Luzon is from the ladrones and from other robber bands, and the impossibility of concert of ac tion among these will keep them from being formidable. Says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Just as soon as the American troops gain the entire confi dence of the native residents of the isl ands, the authorities point out, and improvement is being made in this di rection constantly, the days of the rob ber bands and of 'the other disturbers are numbered. No reasonable person doubts that this condition is near at hand. American sway is bound tn grow in popularity among the Island ers as they become acquainted wfth it. A civil regime has been set up in part of Luzon already, backed by' the military force. The Taft commission, which is now on its way to the islands, will report some form of govern ment Which will probably be adopted by congress next winter. By twelve months from the present time, it is safe to predict, a civil government will be put in operation all over Luzon and some of the other more important isl ands." Whether the Citizen has regarded the Gazette as a democratic paper or not the aim of the former has always been the same to make it as disagreeable as possible for the latter. Whether this has been of service to "the party" or to itself is a question. New subscribers who receive the Ga zette with this paragraph maTked will understand that their subscriDtion has been received. Non-subscribers wiT accept this as an invitation to sub scribe if the paper meets their approv al. The Boston Transcript suggests the following cure for the nuisance of hav ing circulars thrust into one's letter box: "Take what is sent you and add liberally to it. Put the whole in an en velope and address it back to the par ties who sent out the circulars. They will be notified by the postofnce author ities that unpaid matter is waiting for them at the office ana, unable to tell that it may not mean business, will for ward the needed money and then get back their circulars and pa for them, too. Enough of that sort of action would tire the circular business out and do the community a lasting benefit." MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY.

A bit of legislation of importance to farmers was accomplished during the week wihen the increased appropria tion mtade by the house for 'bulletins and records pertaining to agriculture was sustained by the senate. Th:re was considerable opposition to the in crease, but the opponents finally had to give in. Senator Butler addressed the senate on the subject. He called attention to the fact that the govern ment had incurred great expense in securing the information, wuich was so valuable to farmers, and that by dis seminating the information to the greatest possible extent the object cf the government would be attained. Senator Butler said he had caused to be placed in the papers of his state an article calling upon the farmers to write him with reference to the kind of bulletin that would best suit them. In this way the farmer living in the cotton belt could have sent him a bul letin on the subject of cotton produc tion. This' rule would be observed all along the line and every (book would be made to count. He said the number of answers he had received proved beyond a doubt that the farmers of North Carolina prized the bulletins very highly and that they desired to do more farming on la scientific 'basis and get out of the ruts in which their farmers had moved. Senator Till man also spoke on this appropriation. He said that the matter Was some thing worth while to the hou?e mem bers, as they were directly in touch with the people in the district imme diately represented by them, and that when a constituent did not ge1- some thing from his congressman at leas't once a year he was apt to feel slighted. The conference report on the bill t0 provide a government for the terri tory of Hawaii was presented last Wednesday by Mr. Cullom and fully explained. The conference commit tee, he said, had struck out the pro visions requiring the payment of taxes before registration for voting and had inserted a provision that no person shall be imprisoned for non-payment of taxes or for debt. That leaves the matter of taxes entirely out of the bill, either before registration or any other time. "As I understand i " said Mr. Cullom, "all citizens of the United States and of the republic of Ha wiiii are authorized to exercise the elective franchise, provided they are bona fide inhabitants." Mr. Cullom. is doubtless under the impression that no political organization in the coun try has ever even contemplated the disfranchisement of citizens because they cannot pay their taxes at a date fixed by a political boss, but he is not familiar with the workings of the Simmons wing of the democratic party in North Carolina. The sen ate of the United States has shown a disposition to deal more fairly with the people of far-off Hawaii tbn has Simmons and his lieutenants with the voters of North Carolina. North Carolina republicans felt keenly disappointed over the defeat of Senator Quay. As many of them as could find seats in 'the -alleries were present when the vote was taken. Southern republicans have probablv never had a better friend on the na tional committee. It is customary in this land of the free to abuse tall po litical leaders. Mr. Quay seems to have had more than his share from a hostile press, but it is not likely that one-tenth that has been said about rim was true. At one time his private character was just as stromrly at tacked as 'his political record, and yet, after a full investigation and tr'al, it was found that he had done noth inT reprehensible. Even while tle vote was being taken an incident oc curred which will go far to prove that he was not the hideous character that he has so often been painted. There was much uncertainty as to how Sen ator Vest of Missouri would vote in the Quay contest and nothing final was known about it until the invalided Missourian had uttered a regretful and broken "no." The man whom that lit tle word ibarred from the senate of the United States had been for many years and is now his warm personal friend. As a correspondent of the New York Sun so effectively put it, "Vest came into the chamber just before the poll was closed, and his small form, waited, by many months of illness arid pain, sank into the big arm chair until only his head was visible. He covered his face with a hand like that of a skele ton and appeared as if lost in reverie. description Department. (Entrance on Haywood St.) ALWAYS OPEN. Prescription Phone 260.. Public Phone 471.

It was an appeal from his log-tme chum to aid a friend in need and btg for the resolution, to, seat hfih and thus save him' from political ruin." Con tinuing, the Sun) said that what it cost Vest to say tha't word no man will ever know. Now the question is, If Mr. Quay Is the 'bad man some people say he is, would such a man. as Senator Vest feel thiat way 'towards him ? It is not a question of politics, for the two men are of opposite political faith. The adverse vote of Senator Vest was cast on political grounds. Governor Taylor of Kentucky was present when -the vote was taken in the Quay case and was afterwiards en gaged in conversation wfth n number of North Carolinians, who are contribut ing their mite towards his assistance by letting him have some curt records Among the documents that have been given to Mr. Taylor is the case of Quinn vs. LattimoTe, which was quot ed in the North Carolina election con tests. Warren Vines Hall, preident of the North Carolina state league of repub lican clubs, 'hias been appointed an as sistant sergeant-at-arms to serve at the national republican convention. Owing to the fact that an erroneous report has been circulated North Carolina members in congress have re cently been bombarded by applica tions for positions in the census de partment.
