If the Sultan of Sulu desires the af fections of the American Aguinaldites he must shoot a few American soldiers from ambush. We sha'l be interested to discover which of the issues in the Kansas City platform Mr. Bryan will use as his bait in his determined effort to capture New, York. We doubt if it wil be the Paramount Issue, which is showing dis tinct signs of failing strength. It will hardly be trusts at least the ice trust. It won't be free silver, 16 to 1, we'll guarantee that. It seems to us Bryan will make a mess of it if he talks, on any of his favorite fads in New York, and that he might better leave the state to Croker's manipulation. Crok er is betting on Bryan's election, but it must be said that very little of Crok er's vast fortune has come to him from successful betting.. It has come vo him by surer, and much less creditable, methods, than wagering on uncertain ties. We can hardly doubt that W. Crawford feels the humiliation of position as a candidate who dare T. his not say the Word that would secure an hon est election in November in this con gressional district. Whether he feels it as much as the general public is a question. The choice, however, lies betwee i accepting this humiliation, or of renouncing the chance of defeating his opponent and the will of the people by fraud. If Mr. Crawford were at all confident that a majority of the voters of this district desired that he should represent them in congress does any one suppose that he would hesitate to agree with Mr. Moody that neither. should accept a certificate obtained by dishonesty at the polls? "Conscience makes cowards of us all," and we fear Mr. Crawford has let his conscience, or something else, run away with his rea son, for his position in this matter Is one which must greatly diminish the respect even his nearest friends have felt for him. , In the light of Strimg field's "victory" and Crawford's ap proval of the Simmons law the demo cratic concessional candidate Is pub licly recognized as having listened t the voice of the tempter, 'as having sacrificed public approbation and bis own conscience in order. not to lose the chance of profiting iby the dishonesty If the Simmons law election officials.

V. t BON MARCHESS sqM nam st. G0 EAST, YOUNG MAN. . In an address at Mt. Holly recently, announcing his candidacy for the Uni ted States senatorship, Col. Carr is re ported as saying: "It is of the utmost importance that there be a free and full ballot and an honest and fair count" in the approach ing primary election." . If Col. Carr takes his candidacy se riously he ought to. go east and go at once. There is no time to lose. It is a waste of time and energy to talk fair elections in the Western counties. - The time is now, and the place is Wayne, Wilson and Halifax, to talk fair elec tions. Within the dead line that' marks Simmons' territory is the real mis sionary ground in this new contention for an honest -ballot and a fair count. The western counties do not count in this senatorial primary. When Sim mons boasts of a fifty thousand ma- .jority, he does it Knowing weu mc re sources of his multiplex machine. In truth it is an open secret, that the east ern counties will not allow tbe western counties to dictate and determine the senatorship in the November primarcy . So Col. Carr has two formidable ob stacles in the way of his election: The impossibility of a fair election in the eastern counties, and the determination of the Simmons machine to elect Sim mons as the eastern candidate. The western counties will have little voice in the approaching democratic primary, Popular sentiment unquestionably is for Carr, not so much on Carr's ac count, tut on account of its convictions against eastern dishonest election methods. So that in the brief Interval before the election Col Carr should devote his splendid energies to the reclamation of the eastern counties. "He should have his part of the magnificent five thou sand deircratic majority in Halifax county! Go east, young man. In rejecting the suggestion of the emperor of Germany ithait mo "diplo matic negotiations" 'whatever shall be entered into with the Chinese authori ties until after the "surrender of such peT&ons as are determined upon as be ing the first and real perpetrators of the crimes committed in Peking against international law, the New York Times declares our government has acted with wihai:; appears to be a wise combination of firmness and; patience. Iu reality, the Times says, the proposition to exact from the Ohinese governmeniD thef sur render of (persons indicted by foreign powers 'as iguilty of crime as a condi tion precedent to any diplomatic inter course is practically a denial of the sovereignty of that government. It is a proposition that no govermmect in the world would' assent to unless under fd-ur- .ess. It may he contended xam wie m- nese government is on a different plane from that held toy other governments, and- that t has toy the crimes it has .tolerated put itself beyond the pale otf civilization and lost its -rignit to tne treatment that other governments can claim. Bu the fact remains that if the powers take that ?rouna tnej must be prepared, in case the Chinese government refuses their condition, ei ther to force it to accept or to re main wirn no responsioie sovea-niiMsut to deal with, or !to set up such a gov ernment. That policy may involve tne conquest of Ghina, or a revolution with foreign guidance, or an indefinite term of .practical anarchy with incalculable injury to the interests of the outer world in the Chinese empire. That is tremendous responsibility. Wie think that the government of the United States does well to avoid it. We hope and believe it will be found there is another and better way. The way is plainly indicated in the note to Germany. It is to assure "the full exercise of the imperial power," with the distinct understanding 'that it is to be exercised "tfor preservatiani of order and the protection of foreign life and property throughout China." It accepts the plenipotentiary authority of L Hung Chang and Prince Ching as i'ma fade evidence sufficient for pre- limiiciary negotiations looking toward the return of the imperial Chinese government and the resuimiption of its authority at Pekin. It cautiously omits to recognize the authority of these envoys "to negotiate ipeace." At the same time the Uindted States declines the suggestion of Rus sia that its minister shall be withdrawn from Pekin. Out government does not abate a tat or tittle of its just claims on China. It. simply insists on using the only available agency to secure those claims. A Chicago despatch of the 23d says that Oliver C. Parrinaton Curator of the Field- Columbian, museum r"- Jack son park, (has just completed experi menJts with rocky formations (peculiar to the famous caves of Indiana, as a result of which he says he believes that animal tlDfe has existed on this planet for at least 10,000,000 years and) probably ror cjouicie tnaiti length ox itime. These conclusions were reached) by es- itimalting the period, required for the growth of the fittailactites in the caves mentioned.

In the thirteenth annual report of the bureau of labor and printing for the state of North Carolina is given some interesting information in regard to the mining industry of the state. In refer ence to gold mining considerable devel opment is shown to have take nplace during the past year. The following work has been done along the Southern railway: In Stanley county At the Parker mine some work has been done wash ing the surface placer deposits and working quartz veins. At the Thomp son mine, near the Crawford, a ten stamp mill has been" erected and both the mine and mill have been worked for several months. The Crawford has it self been recently put in operation. In Cabarrus county At the Reed mine, a ten-stamp mill has been erected, and some mining and hydraul icing and also some milling have (been done. At the Black Cat mine, a 10- stamp mill has been erected, and there has been some shaft sinking. At the Nugget mine there has been some hy draulic work end some vein mining in the Galena lcrte. At the Icenhour, or Fritz-Honeycut mine, some mining and milling has been done, and the chlorination plant has been in opera tion. The McMakin mine, owned by the Whitney Reduction' company of Pittsburg has been developed to a con siderable extent; onev shaft having been sunk to a depth of 280 feet and 'a sixteen foot vein has been opened up. The Messina mine was also prospected to a considerable extent, but nothing further has been done there in the way of mining operations. In Davidson county The Lalor mine, near Thomasville, has been worked on a small scale. Many of the other mines are being improved by putting in new boilers, pumps, hoisting machin ery, etc., and a general healthy move ment is manifest in all this gold region. In Rowan county The Reimer mine has had the water pumped out, and mining operations have been under way for a short time. The Sol Morgan mine, six miles east of Spencer, has meen mined, and shipped two or more car loads of ore. The Dutch Creek has been in operation for a few months. The Gold Hill mines, the deepest and most extensively worked mines in the state have been leased by the Union Mining company and are being pre pared for work on an extensive scale. There has been considerable activity in this district. These mines carry copper, gold and some silver, and through the efforts of the Uni6n Cop per Mining company several shafts have been sunk and many hundred feet of tunnels and drifts have been run. A six mile spur track has been built from the Southern to the mines, and there have been erected more than one hundred dwellings for miners, a modern hotel, office, assay laboratory, several shaft houses, power house, machine shop and a large concentrat ing plant with a capacity of from 300 of 400 tons of ore a day, so that there is at this place a genuine mining camp with all the modern appliances for min ing operations. In Chatham county The Snipes mine, some eleven miles west of Chapel Hill, has been opened to a depth of more than one hundred feet and sev eral drifts have been cut. Two larsre boilers and a ten-stamp mill have been nstalled and arrangements made for pushing the work on a large scale. Several other openings have been made by the Snipes Gold companv within a few miles of this mill, all the ore to be carried to it for it treatment. In Henderson county The old Boyl- ston mine has been bought by the Belle Elanscom. company of Henderson ville. N. C, and vigorous nrosDectiner is be- ng done. It is proposed to equip the property witha sixty-stamp mill and chlorination plant. Near Murphy, In Cherokee county, some fairly successful work has been done in the alluvial de posits of the Valley river. The commissioner says: "On account of the expense attending the erection of a stamp mill and reducion plant, it is impossible for many of the low grade ore properties to be profitably worked but if there was a large stamp mill and reduction plant centrally located, to which these ores could be shipped after concentration, many that are now idle could be worked at a profit. Such a plant, without doubt, could be kept busy from one end of the year to the other, the ore toeing bought . according to the showing of the assays. There has been $43,000 of gold that has been reported as mined during the year." Grant'si No. 24cunes Cold tornl rJpipe. 25c. Giant'e Phaacy.

The cor-respon-dent says: "Any good police force of twecity thousand imen can eff ectb the complete' pacification of the country. It will be impossible for the Boers in the future to mass a force exceeding 1,500. They are sick of the war and the Irish American and o'.her merce naries are clamoring for poymenit and threatening the Boer officials." TO INTERCEPT STEYN". Loadani Sept. 26. The Daily Mail bias rthe fiolowing despjatctb trom Lorenzo Mareues: "Heavy fighting is reported, across the Sab i river. This means that the British are intercepting Steyn and Reitz.who, with their forces, are at tempting to push' northward and (to ef fect a junction'.

A despatch to tthe Herald from Lorenzo Marques: By dint of hard riding from Barberton your correspondent overtook first Gen eral Ian Hamilton's divisioni then that of General Pole-Carew and finally tea tered Komatipoor Not a shot was fired nor was a Boer seen, during the march. Evidences of ithe enemy's destructive ness was everywhere to be seen. The bridge had been dynamited, the stores, .buildings and homesteads looted and' burned as had been also the railway property, all the chief stations being mere masses of smoking ruins, among them Kaap Mulder, iHectorsprui'tJt and Komatiport. At the last place there is an enormous area over which the Boers have -wrought destruction. TOLSTOI EXCOMMUNICATED. Must Recant or be Denied the Bites of the Church at Death. Lausanne, Switzerland, Sept. 26. A secret circular addressed by Joanniclus, the aneltiropolitan of Keiff, to all the Russian archbishops virtually excom munlcating Tolstoi, the Russian Novel ist anu. social reformer, is published here. It declares tlhat Tolstoi 'is an avowed enemy of the church and Ithat therefore unless he recants, the holy synod wiil prohibit the celebration of all divine services and expiatory mas ses in the event of his death.

Statesvi'lle Landimark The senatorial trace is absorbing about all the public interest in politics the contest itihus far is between Carr and Siimffnons and the friends of each express confidence as to the result. The Simmons .people appear to have gone a bowshot beyond reason, however, and are putting up some Pig .blurts. Mr. Simimons, for instance, gives it out that if the election were held tomorrow he would' win over all opposition by 50,- 000 votes. If Mir. Simmoais really be lieves this it is hard to understand what he and his friend are distuiribed about. "TRUSTS" AND PARTNERSHIPS.
