their intention to so far increase th
expenditures of the government thai
no surplus could possibly accnmu
late in the future. They not onlj
kept the boast they made, but iD
addition raised tariff taxes highei
than ever before. However, a I'em
ocratic administration came in and
tariff duties have been reduced and
economy practiced in public expen
ditures as far as practicable. But
every indication points to the fact
that the Republican Congress now
assembled in Washington will pur
sue the former policy of that party
Speaking on this line the New York

the greatest raid upon tbe Treasury
that has ever been attempted, j
"The doctrine openly announced
is that everybody who wanta Govern
ment money is to hare it. All the
Republicans interviewed by the
World say that the tariff is to be so
far increased as to provide all jtbe
revenue needed, and it is obvious
that the revenue needed is to be
made as great as extravaganco can
make it in order that tariff duties
may be raised "to the limit" of pop
ular endurance.
"This is McKinleyiam over again.
The first billion-dollar Congress pot

every possible direction, but made as
much of the increase as it could a
permanent charge upon tbe Treat ary
lest Democracy should relieve the
people af some of their burdens. It
openly avowed its purpose to be so
far to increase expenses that no re
duction of tax burdens should be os
eible. This was taxation for the
sake cf taxation. It was a scheme to
ccmpel the people to pay to the mo
ropoliets all tbe tribute that co lid
be squeezed out of them."
Thia is a characteristic Republican
idea increase expenditures in or iei
to have an excuse to again foster on
the country their pet theory of pro
tection. It would be wiser, in our
opinion, to try to reduce expenses
o that the present revenues would
be sufficient. Increasing taxes i i a
poor way to brine prosperity to the
country, j
In another column we publish
very interesting interview with COn
gressman Linney at Washington.
He says that nine tenths of the pfeo
pie are far silver, but not for free
and unlimited coinage at the ratio
of 16 to 1. This sounds a little
strange coming from a man who iras
elected by Populist votes ; because
we have! always understood tl at
above every other declaration of
the r platform the Populists desired
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Hi ve
the Populists changed f" We gauss
ot. Mr Linney is either going
back on them or was never with
them on this question, lie also ei
presses tbe opinion that fusion will
continue knd says if it does North
Carolina is about as certain to go
Republican next year as Pennsylva
nia. If this be true, then what will
the Populists have gained by fusion?
If t he election of a Republican pres
ident and Congress will in any way
help to bring about the .legislation
desired by the Populists we fail to
see it.

Washington, Nov. 29. Senator
Pritchard thinks the Republicans
should and will re-organiza the San
ale. Any other course would giye
the Democrats a chance to accuse
them of cowardice Ra-orgaaizi
tion may be postponed a little but
he says a test will be presented at
the yery start on the question of
electing a President pro tern, lie
says tbe organization by silver-Sena
tors of both parties is not practi
cable. There was a report this afternoon
that the-little Populist Senatorial
group wonld confer tonight.
Senator Pritchard will introduce
at. the beginning of the session a bill
to enable Federal soldiers who had
previously served in the Confederate
army to diaw a pension if otherwise
entitled to it. He says that the
measure must be broad enough to
coverall cases without regard to
whether the man was drafted by
the Confederates or not. He will
also introduce a bill to give exclus
ive jurisdiction in minor cases to
United States commissioners in of
fences against the internal revenue
laws- The bill will include a fee
ture forbidding arbitrary assess
ments. He proposes to push these
measures from the start.
Representatives Shaw and Shu
ford are at the Metropolitan, the
former occupying Captain, Alexan
der's old room. Mr; Shaw will in
troduce, if it is not introduced in
the Senate, a bill to pay the Cape
Fear Steamboat Company 136,000
a measure which has been before
Congress many years. He says a
North Carolina Representative will
f ffer a joint resolution to amend the
constitution so as to divest the Pres
ident of the right of veto. This
squints towards handicapping an
aati-silver executive if there should
ever be another free silver Con
gress. Representative Shuford will in
troduce bills to abolish storekeepers
and guagers and to provide for the
free coinage of silver.
Senator Pritchard, Representa
tives Shuford and Shaw and Mr.
Charles N. Vance say the recent
elections did not giye silver a set
back. The Senator, Representative
Shaw and Mr. Vance say they are
for free silver, to be secured inside
their respective parties. Mr. Shn -ford
is doubtless accordant. The
lattter favors protection as strongly
as the Senator. He wants to control
railroads and telegraphs more than
at present but fears goveznment
ownership might lead to centrali
zation. The Trained Nnrsi.
B blical Recorder.
We cordially add our commenda
tion to that of a number of our con
temporaries with regard to the es
tablisbmeut of a plan for training
nurses at the State Hospital at Mor
ganton. A trained nurse in the av
erage sick room is as good as a doc
tor and sometimes better. . It is as
tonishing how many people suffer
and die, not for want of medical at
tention, but by reason of improper
nursing. We have heard physicians
say that good nurses are just as
useful as good physicians, and in
some diseases more necessary. Be
tween medicine and nursing, the
latter is usually to be preferred. ;
It is a high privilege to be able to
serve God in our work. Many have
given that over to ministers, but- it
is a bad idea. Of all people not in
ioremo8t in opportunity to live for
God. The school teaoher may, the
editor may, and others, too j but if
a trained nurse is anything, she is a
eervant of God. As a profession for
Christian women, it is not by any
means to be despised. It means de
privation, it means unselfishness,
but it also means high and holy ser
vice. From a business point of
view, t is also to be commended;
for nurses are given good incomes.
The training school at Morgauton
means a new era in our State in the
matter of treatment.

them. After surrounding the band
Rios ordered a machete charge and

pite the assurances given, to Sir Phi'
ip Uurrie, the British ambassador,
by Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Min
ister, of Foreign Affairs, that each
power would be permitted - to " send,
an additional guardship to the Bo
phorns, the Sultan has not yet grant-'
ed the requisite, permits for their;
entrance through the Dardanelles
The hesitancy of the Sultan,; it is
understood, is due to the fear -that
the movement of the powers to in
. crease the number of their guard
ships in the Bospborus is merely de
signed to mask an ulterior demon
stration of the naval forces. It ia
thought however, that the; Sultan
will yield to the demands of the
powers, in view of the unanimous
pressure they -are bringing upon
him. Otherwise, it is probable that
the powers will send gunboats into
the Bosphorue Without waiting any
longer for the Saltan to issue fir
mans permitting them to enter.
V Mr. Nelidoff, tiie Russian ambas
sador to Turkey, has had an au
dience with the Saltan during which
he warned him that if serious dis
turbances should occur at Constan
tinople the foreign fbeta would pec
etrate the Dardanelles. The Sultan
admitted to M. Nelidoff that the
powers had a right to the admission
of a second guarfship to the Bos
phyrns, but renewed his request that
they should not. insist upon that
right. He urged that the promised
reforms were progressing and that
the approach of an era of reforms
was shown by the appointment of
nine inspecting judges, of which
number fhree were Christians Des
pite the assurances of the Sultan to
the contrary, the trrest of Armen
ians in Constantinople has been re
newed, though there is no sign of
any uprising or resistance to the
laws on the part cf the Armenians
in Constantinople. Thousands of
them, however, are reported to have
been frightened into ? conversion to
Moslemism.

Turkish troops en route to Zaitun

who are in possession of Zaitua.
The conditions offered to the Arme

arms, as well as the leaders of the
recent revolt at Z ;tun, to the Tur
kish troops Trustworthy advices
say that the rising of the Armenians
at Zeitun followed an attempt on
the part of the troops of the Tqrkish
garrison to pillage the city.

massacre at Arabirkir, Moosh and
