We bare frequently remarked that aa claimants the Republican speakers and organs hare not their equals on either tide of the equator. They claimed all the prosperity that came to the country after McKinley'a election four years ago, and now they are beginning to claim all that comes to the country for the next four years. The Philadelphia Press, whose editor-in-chief is Mr. McKin ley's Postmaster General, starts out in the following sweeping style: "Campaign promises of prosperity have never bad such prompt and sweeping fulfilment ss in the past fortnight. "Improvement was expected. No one anticipated the sweeping and in stent advance which has come. All industries have awakened together. In the anthracite coal regions a lack of labor to do the work needed was re ported. In the west of this State, among the iron works, the same de mand is noted. Our dispatches from Altoona and other points in the bitu- ms region record the rapid sale of options oo coal lands, rising values and aa output outdoing the past Building has revived in Chicago and a lack of labor is reported there. New England woolen and cotton mills, in terrupted in September and October, are again running on full time. Our excMsagea are full of new mills, new enterprises and r. ew companies. New plants are under contract, new build ings are going up and new manufac tures being started. Capital and labor are occupied as they have not been for over a j ear. "This industrious revival has been accompanied by a sudden advance in all securities. In twelve working days since the election 13,500,000 shares have been dealt in on the New ' York Stock Exchange, an unprece dented record. Prices have daily risen. The market widens and in cludes a broader and broader range of the publ ic. No mare speculation and no mere speculative activity are tak ing place, but the entire level of credit and investments is being raised to a new standard based on the confid ence cheated by the gold standard. 'The mere advance of stocks at such a time is simply the register of those broad causes which have added to the capital seeking investment. This capi tai first advances existing securities to the new level of credit. This once done, this reservior of credit overflows in new en terprisea. New milk and in dustries, new roads and corporations come into being. The demand for labor increases. Applicants for credit multiply. They are now flocking to this country from one European land and city after another. The "bloom" in old securities in the stock market will be followed by the issue of new securities. "The first two weeks of the second series of "McKin ley Prosperity" points to records in business, product and profits, in exoploymosU for labor and return for capital which will outdo the past three and one-half years. " The richness of this is equalled only by its coolness. They put on the brakes and after McKinley was elected turned them off, started the wheels to running and then ex claim, 'listen to the humming," "behold the return of prosperity." Did -the man who wrote this sop- pose that the people were ignorant of or had forgotten the fact that some railroad managers, factory managers, stock manipulators and others who supported McKinley had struck upon a plan to boost him which they had tried with success in 1896? These interested managers announced that that they had given ont contracts ior rails, cars, sc., amounting m the aggregate to many millions of dollars nnnditinnal tiTWtn tha olpptinn of McKinley. If Bryan was elected they would not feel safe, they said, in investing the money contemplated in equipments or in new enterprises. The manufacturers chipped in on the same line, informing their oper atives and the public generally that they had hugs orders with the pro viso that in the event of Bryan's election those who gave them had the privilege of cancelling, and therefore they might be compelled to either close up shop or reduce the number of people employed, under which circumstances it was taken for granted thai all of their employes who could vote would, if they liked butter on their bread, vote for McKinley. The stock jobbers depressed prices and manipulators held op in buying to see how the est wss going to jump, giving as s ressori that if Bryan was elected foreigners wouldn't put any money into American securities and would, as rapidly as they could, take oat all they had in. Of course this was all to influ- enoe people who might be thus in fluenced. Treasury officials and bank repre- gavs opinions to create the impression that there would be. danger to file gold standard and of fiT,fl'rHft1 flissstnr in the event of Bryan's election, the effect of which would naturally be to make people oantious about investing their money until they saw whether Bryan wss elected or not, and thus by deliberate combination, sad oo bjsrarlnn they labored to shake oonfidsnce sad to oheck indus trial development and pending the election. They were in a condition to do that, and having succeeded in their game thev simuiv came down to business, resumed where they left off and as a result be hold the "two weeks of McKinley." All the talk about cancelling or ders for rails and other things, of factories closing down, of furnaces going out of blast, of investors in American securities giving them the cold shoulder, &&, was fake pure and simple. There isn't a pound of rail or other stuff, or a deal made in mines, or a new enter prise started since McKinley 's elec tion that would not have material ised all the same if Bryan had been elected. There would not have been a ripple on the surface after it was known that Bryan had been elected and business would have gone right along as if nothing had happened. Whoever knew business paralysis to follow an election? These come either as a result of policies adopted or from other causes, hut not from policies predicted or anticipated. The American people are too level headed to get excited or go into bankruptcy just because some pol iticians predicted they would, and they never fall into a ditch when they can jump it or go around it. But we can't help but admire the cheek that exults over the revival of prosperity when the fellows that combined to put on the brakes suc ceeded in their scheme, take the brakes off and let things run on as nsual. A HOLD up. Some time before the election it was announced that preparations were then being made to bring home the volunteers in the Philippines and that they would be brought back as rapidly as transportation could be furnished. But this was for campaign purposes, as was sus pected by many at the time. That was our opinion, so expressed when this anouncement was made. Now it seems there is a hold up, and it is announced that no movement will be made in this direction till after New Year's. Till after New Year's may mean until next April or May, as the time of the volunteers does not expire till June 1st. as tne Ad ministration has resolved to push the war it will get all it can out of the volunteers while they are there. Commenting upon the hold-up or der the Philadelphia Record, which opposed Bryan in the last campaign, says: "Preparations for bringing home the 35,000 volunteer troops in the Philippines have been suspended in the War Department. Not a volun teer will be brought back, it is now an nounced, until after the beginning of the new year. By that time it is prob able that the necessary legislation in neress tor tne increase of tne army will be well advanced, under condi tions which will render possible a fairly accurate forecast at the War Office of the final outcome. Then, and not till then, the department will be enabled to take up earnestly the work of military reorganization in thearchi- P"9or the thick -and-thin advocate of a greatly enlarged permanent military establishment, the situation in the Philippines is all that could be desired. The honeyed and illusive promises of early peace in the August report of the Philippine Commission have been for gotten or ignored, instead of tne Com mission's preposterous claim that peace would reign within sixty days after the announcement of a Republican triumph in the general election, there is put forward General Mac Arthur's uncompromising official declaration that a large Federal military and naval force in the archipelago will be neces sary for many years to come. Not where else in the broad territory of the Republic is there a seri ous or urgent demand for a vastly in creased army. Outside of the Philip pines, the only grounds for any degree of military expansion are to be found in the garrison requirements of our costly and elasorto coast defenses. Thirty thousand troops would prob ably prove sufficient for all legitimate occasions of military employment, but for the grim necessity which forces the Government to keep 70,000 or more men under arms in Lu ion and adja cent islands, Resistance of the inhab itants in that quarter to Federal power Jm practically the only valid reason for sticking closely to the 100,000 figure in official estimates of future military strength. As at least 75,000 of these 100,000 men it is supposed increase the regular army to, will be needed for service in the Philippines, and as each soldier costs about $1,000 a year, we may form some idea of the bill the American people will have to foot to hold dominion over that archipelago. WILL "HAHG THEM OH THE Cleveland, Ohio, is Mr. Mark Henna's town. For some time it has bsd some unpleasant experi ence with negro fiends, who way lay ladies and attack them on the streets when they appear without male escorts, as we gather from the following press dispatch from that city: "Society women of the fashionable Bast Bad are in a state of great terror over the many sttempts that have been made recently to attack women in that section of Cleveland. , "Women are afraid to venture out of doors after dark, and their hus bands prominent club men, most of them threaten to lynch the offenders when caught. "The condition borders upon a reign of let lot. "Last night two womsn. who be long to the Colonial Club, a fashion able family club of Kast Eaders, were attacked by a negro man as they were on their way from the club house to their homes, near by. "The evening before Miss May Win stall, a society girl, was dragged from her mother's side as they were going home together. The mother's screams brought YiUeneuve of the Colonial club club are to protect the wo to I and insult. dotorin1'lfff sndfi 'When we are asked.' he says, "we Cvtda escorts foe our women mem . My wife is afraid to go out evenings unattended. If we ever isatch any man attacking or insult ng a woman of our club we will bang him on the lawn in front of the club house," This is a story with a moral, a "put-yourself-in-his-place" story. It comes from the good Republican city .of Cleveland where there has been a good deal of condemnation of lynch ing in the South and no little indig nation at the summary manner in which Southern white men deal with the assaulters of women. They see it differently when it comes home to them, and ignoring the law, which they say should be per mitted to take its course in the South, thev declare they will, if they catch them, hang the insulters of their women "in front of the club house." Down in this part of the country we will not blame them, if they do. They are learning some thing as time rolls on, and after they hare learned' some more' per haps they will see things somewhst differently from the way in which they have been seeing them and be willing to let us settle the race prob lem in our own way. Somebody seems to have been hoodooing those Englishmen who put $15,000,000 into that Colorado mine. The American fellows who worked it got the stuffing out of it and then dumped it en the Brit ishers for $15,000,000. According to reports the investment will be s permanent one. The investors will at least have a fine opportunity to study the geological structure of the Cripple Creek section of Colorado, and also wonder on the talent some Americans have of getting out of played out mines and taking con fiding Englishmen in. According to Mr. T. J. Hurley, who has published a book on "Gold Nuggets,"' North Carolina leads all countries in the size, value and quantity of nuggets produced, the Reed mine in Cabarrus county hav ing produced nuggets weighing 28 pounds, 17 pounds, 16 pounds, 13 pounds, 9$ pounds each, two of 9 pounds each, two of 8 pounds each, five of 34 pounds each, two of 2 pounds each, and one of If pounds,' which makes the Beed the world's boss nugget producer. Some re spectable chunks have also been found in Montgomery county. The Philadelphia Press says an effort is to be made, which it thinks commendable, to secure adeqnate salaries for the assistants in the Washington departments who do all the while the bosses are away on va cations or electioneering. It is rough on the assistants to have all this extra work to do but why not require the bosses to remain at their posts and attend to business? CURRENT COMMENT. Meiklejohn has announced his his candidscy for the United States Senate from Nebras ka. Keep an eye on Meitklejohn. That blazing bight shirt of his is a very different article from another Western sensational night shirt with once gained celebrity. Louisville Courier-Journal, Dem. The New York Sun charges the South with keeping alive the memories of secession und3isf ran ohising the blacks. That is not as maliamant as the deliberate perpetu ation of the bitter passions of the civil war and the defamation of such men as Lee, and it is not cruel and mean like the systematic bulldozing of white American voters by the greedy corporations employing them. Atlanta views, Dem. Congressman Livingston is evidently, from his recent utter ances, afraid that 'the South will lose representation in Congress by Republican legislation. The -Republicans may try this game, but it will not be an easy one to play success fully. There are many thousands of Republicans, especially business men with large Southern investments, who will discourage it. Aug us fa Chroniale, Dem The great majority by which they won the recent presidential elections is convincing evidence that the Republican party can get along very well without the negro of the South, and he will be allowed to shift for himself, as he has been do ing for many years. The frothing such men as Chandler, we are confi dent, will not amount to anything, nor do we beleive that the South will lose any members of Congress or any presidential electors. If, how ever, future events show that we are in error, and the South has to de cide between reduced representa tion and unrestricted suffrage, we agree with our esteemed contempo ary, the Wilmington (N. C.) Star, that the Southern States will take reduced representation every time. Neio Orleans States, Dem. BSJa Life Waa Saved. Mr. J. E.

Moore has received by letter from the Philippine islands, the sad news of the death of his son, W. Jar vis Moore, by drowning, on the. 24th of September. The letter was written by Capt. 8. L. Draper, in charge of the arsenal at Oavite, where Jarvis was serving as a corporal, and states that the company guarding the arsenal were expecting an attack from the enemy, and in order to defend themselves bad to cross a swift flowing stream, over which there was no bridge but a single narrow plank. It was while attempting to cross this stream that Corporal Moore was drowned. His body was recovered and interred with military honors. Stanly Enterprise: There has been a story afloat for a long while that one Mr. Dillimot, who was buried at Old Town, in Montgomery county, near Lowder's Ferry, something near a half century ago, had a golden idol before he died and that it was buried with him. On last Thursday night some ghouls, with torches, visited the grave, ostensibly for the purpose of getting the golden image. Mr. E. B. Hamilton, of this place, passed by the spot last Sunday, and from his ac count the robbers were not careful in placing the remnants of the coffin and bones of the dead back in their proper place, leaving both exposed and the grave only half filled.

A woman, tne wire or tne victim, figures in the case and has, along with the murderer, been com mitted to jail, held as a witness. Th parties are all negroes. John Cobb is the victim and and Jesse Blackburn, alias Jesse Black, the murder.

The weapon used was a razor blade Cobb's left face was split open from sbove the corner of the hp to the throat below and his neck was cut open from behind the left ear to near the throat, an artery being cut in two. It seems that Jesse Black has been living-with John Cobb's wife Annie. Together, about midnight, Jesse and Annie Cobb went into the house. John was there end a diffi culty soon followed, in which Cobb used a bottle and Jesse Black an old razor blade. The woman swears Jesse hit Cobb first, cutting him, which cut tins he kept up until after Cobb was down and helpless. "Nearly all the trouble in this world comes throueh money."

Nov. sc it friSLS SPOiataent to the friends of cotton, and many pet ideas as to the probable caum nt '"!t: aWSLSLtStSr-r Acute Brignfs ER IN SALINE whelming bear developments. The cables were astoundingly weak, with Liverpool credited with having sent many sailing orders to our pit. Pri vate reports had it tbat the Czar was dyiDg, tbat Europe was being flooded with selling orders from Southern pain ts and receipts during the few weeks would considerably exceed the volume of the last ten day a Under this form idable array of bearish influences the iongs forced over great blocks .of cot ton, purchased around 9.809.90 for January on the belief tbat ten cent cotton was assured. The market opened easy with prices down five to twenty points, under the pressure thus brought to bear. Low though they were, the in itial figures proved to be the best of the session, as the liquidating process continued in full sway to the very close.. The South sent selling orders in great numbers and Wall street dumped over many thousand bales, which shorts desiring profits were un able to absorb. There seemed to be no bottom in sight, and while occa sional five point rallies occurred the general tendency of the market was steadily downward. In the early afternoon the hopes of the bulls was swept away by estimates for large re ceipts at New Orleans and Houston to morrow and by official notincation that Southern markets were easier and from 1-16 ' to 1 8c. lower. The New Orleans speculative market pre sented a weak front and on every hand were evidences that supporters of cotton were retreating, while the bears were momentarily gaining strength, At the close the market was steady at a decline of twenty-seven to thirty-one points, about the lowest level of the day.
