' There does not seem to Be -l.i i !-- tint- tlic rm i r t rf lllUt.ll uuuul iiiai, -n- u w enquiry will decide ! that the .Maine was blown up by ruircwlo r rrfinrt' an Egyitian darkness becomes luminous , when compared to the impenetrability of the at mosphere which surrounds the Naval Court of Enquiry. . Up to yesterday noon there was positively nothing more, officially, known of the cause which led to the loss of the Maine than was known on the mnrnihcr after the disaster. If fc r no other reason, we should hail the advent of mili tary rule with pleasure, if it could be used as a check to the too free use of slander and invective, in the; individual and the press. The war. cloud is not - so threatening as it was last week. The .first burst of pa triotism has passed , over and the people will doubtless be in a more pacific frame of mind by the. time the ' verdict of. the - Court of enquiry is announced; The February receipts, of the Treasury Department are re ported from Washington- as very satisfactory averaging a full million dollars a day, 1 the 1 , ness on Feb. 25 being $25, 400,000, of: which nearly $ 14,- 000,000 was Irom customs. Sensationalism is the order of jthe day. In the. current issue of the Arena Senator Butler has an article in which he charges President McKin ley with conduct, which, if it could be proven, would be suf ficient ground for impeach ment. The charges, however, can not be proven. Senator Butler's act, therefore, reduces itself to a cheap bid for popu lar applause, such as no self respecting man .in his position should stoop to court. , It will be hard to" convince the intelligent Southern voter that that section of the country is suffering from a shortage ol money when he learns that the cotton mills of that section, which in 1880 numbered 180, now number nearly 500 : thar their looms, which in 1880 numbered - 14,000 .are now 1 15.000, and their spindles, which in 1 880 were 667,000, are' now 4, 1 00,000; while the capital employed has increased from ; $2 1,900,000! in 1&80 to $125,000,000 in . 1898. We are in receipt of the Washington Post Almanac, for 1898. It is always; a source ji wuiiuti, do wi.n xp cx jjias ure, to see how much informa ' tion can be found between its covers. Then too the price, 25cts., brings it within reach 1 of all. Every business man should have a copy of this useful book on his desk for reference. It is really ency clopedic and to be commended. It is issued by one of-the- very best of American newspapers, that is thoroughly and ably edited, and with none ol the "yellow journal' sensational ism. It is in many respects a model newspaper and sends out a model almanacs v: . : ' ' tie fae limil Slgaatur 9t SI WHAT IS ; NOT THE "PARAMOUNT"' --WHAT IS? Charlotte Observer; y In our Raleigh correspond ence .Tuesday was 1 given an extract from a remarkable edi torial of the Progressive Far mer, oil rather what would be remarkable editorial if any 'thing from our Populist con temporaries could be properly characterized ; but if we - re c ollect aright the Progressive Farmer has said things very like this before, and Beaver Dam and the other papers of the grand circuit have said so very recen tly. Col. 4,L. L. Polk used to sav substantially the same thing, and there are- others :i but still enough interest attaches to this latest declara- tion to justiiy its repruuicuon m. nart-. "JNow that tne "leaders" have done this," says the Progressive Farmer, referring to the issuing of the three addresses from Minne apolis last week, "we wait patiently to learn what the great people will do in regard to the matter. . It strikes us as being strange- that the Populist with a bakers dozen of planks in their plat form should be willing to give up all of them except the least one. The Question now is, 'Is the silver pfank wide enough ?' It seems to us." continues the Progressive Farmer "that the question of paramount import ance should be made, the issue Are there not other things of more- importance than fn e silver ?" Our Populist friends change th e ' pa ra moun t' ' issue so often that we declare in all sincerity; that we have no idea in the world what it is now, and hence no idea what our con temporprary. is driving atv All that we gather with certainty from its editorial is that 'free silver Has descended from the "paramount" perch which "it onccocbupied ar.d has become the "least one", of the planks of the Populist platform. This serves to point a moral and adorn a tale. It proves again what we have so often said before that as fast as the Democrats move up to the pqsition of the Populists the latter, move camp and next morning are somewhere else.' Like the fleo o the Hibernian, when you put your finger on them 'they are not there. All of which goes to show the' fu tility of Democrats appealing to the Populistic organization. There are plenty of good men, patriotic men, in the Pbpu list party, and there b a way of reaching them as individu als. These surely believe in some one thing for more than a few days at a time, and we hope that this year it will be found that they believe in de cency and good government as the "paramount" issue in North Carolina. We would have no faith, however, in an effort to get at them as - an organiza tion. ' $100 Upward $iOO. The readers of .this paper .will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure knovvn to the medical Iraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken Internally, acting direct ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the the foundation of the disease, and giv ing the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
