WHAT HAH FA SAID Congressman Atwater, of this Statr is -quoted as Baying that in conversation with him Senator . Hanna said the two greatest blunders of the nineteenth century: were the war between the States and the en franchisement of the emancipated slaves. Some reports say; that Mr. Hanna used the word "crime' which would be nearer the truth for the former in its inception and the methods resorted to to precipi tate it was a crime, and the latter in its inception and in its results,' in the injustice done to the white peo ple of the South and to the negro was a crime. t Ignoring the constitutional rights of the Southern people ;who hap pened to own slaves, an anti-slavery agitation was started and kept np for a quarter of a century or more by men whose fathers Bold their slaves to the ' South, whose fathers ran the vessels that brought the slaves to this country, and whose representatives in Congress refused to vote for the prohibition of the slave trade until' the time . was extended for several years to enable New England skip - pen who were out to get back with their cargoes of slaves. It took some time to mke the trip to Africa and back in those days when the fitful winds had to be depended upon for propelling power. Slavery was never a crime or a monstrosity ' in the eyes of those sympathetic people until they got rid of their slaves and converted them into good current money. The agitation continued and in creased in volume and violence, it entered the State Legislatures and the halls of Congress, it got into the pulpit and preachers took "Sharpe's rifles" as texts, and the average Northern person, if of credulous 'disposition, was taught and made to believe that the Southern slave holder was a brutal task-master, who treated his "human ' chattels" with less consideration than a teamster would treat a mule. In conjunction with all this, invasions of the South were planned, and some attempted, to encourage the slaves to rebel ' against their masters and fight for their freedom, and "underground railroads" were run to spirit away the fugitive slave into "free terri tory," where he was protected from the officer who might go in pursuit, if the pursuit contined into the free territory, which it seldom did. These were the outcome of the agi tation by the people who had gotten rid of their own slaves and got value received for them and these were the causes that goaded the Southern people to anger and resentment, which culminated in the movement to seek peace and security oat of the Union if they could not be found within it. 3 The Northern agitators who did so much to "fire the' Northern heart," were afraid that there would be no actual collision that would give a pretext for the abolition of slavery, egged on the war shouters, denounced as degenerates and cravens, and as suers for peace at any price the men who were opposed to war" and thus ' provoked the South to fire the first Bhot, to become, as they put it, the aggres sor, the very thing they had been planning and playing for. There was the crime. . If it had not been for the energetic and persistent effort to balk the men who desired to avert war, there would have been no war, for compromises could have been reached at any time be fore the fatal shot was fired, if the friends of peace on both sides -could have been heard. The pervexters of history will charge the responsibility for the war upon the South, when for a generation they had been laying the train which they knew would end in an explosion, as they Intend ed. The South is about as much re sponsible for that war as the man . who is held up and assaulted by a highwayman for the money in his possession is responsible for the hold np and assault. The emancipation of the slave was a part of the plan, and the in spiring motive of the agitation agayist the South, which engendered sec tional. . animosity, culminating in war. The war might have ended sooner if slavery had been abolished by the act of the Southern people, but having begun it never would have ended until slavery was abol ished. The ftnfnmqnfaftment of the eman cipated slaves was the inevitable although not the logical result of the war and the emancipation, for neither of which there was any hon est reason or constitutional right. The slaves were emancipated under the false pretence of "military necesiity,,,when the military neces sity no longexistdd and rafter the resorting 'powW'Cf'lie South had been practically overcome; and they were enfranchised k; Irithcrat 5 the slightest qualification'rior Tine'erer-. rise of the franchise not because it would benefitthe negro, JWxt would benefit the Eepublican party and help ittrge poUtjcaTCoitrol of the Southern - States rand --hold it.

That was a crime that it womld be straining civility 'and po liteness to call a blunder. Mark Hanna was right for once in his life. HEADISG OFF The mosquito TEE XOSaUITO. is receiving more attention and more general adver- tising these days than anv other winged warbler extant. The offences with which it is charged are multi tudinous, and besides being held responsible as the purveyor of malaria it is now positively accused of being the communicator and dis tributer of the yellow fever germ. And all this calls for war,' unrelent ing war, upon the whole tribe. For some time a kerosene war has been waged upon it in some sec tions of this country where the mosquitoes do congregate and do business. This has proved some what effective when pursued with vigor, but in rfher countries the in habitants resort to other methods of self-protection. Here is the way they dp in some portions of South America, as told to the State De partment by .the consul at Mdra caibo, who says: "A simple remedy against mosqui toes has been employed Mn several places in South Africa and is equally well adapted to the temperate zone. It consists in planting the castor oil plant (Bidnus communis), or 'palma christi, around the house and premises. "In cold and iemnerate climates the castor oil plant grows to a height of four or five feet; in these countries, it becomes a tall tree and is perennial. It seems that the smell of the plant is disagreeable to mosquitoes and other insects, and it is an acknowledged fact that where these plants grow few mos quitoes will be found. "My personal experience bears this out My residence is surrounded by plantain and banana trees, and I have been much troubled in the past by the (treat number of mosquitoes which gathered between the leaves. Fol lowing the example of old settlers in the country, I planted the cistor seeds, which grew np in profusion, and there are now no mosquitoes to be found amone the plantain and banana trees, although I keep the ground well irrigated. By keeping branches and the seeds of the plant in rooms, the mosquitoes are driven awav from the latter. "There are several varieties of the castor oil plant. In this country there are two one with brown nuts ana tne otner wnite in color, witn a Jcernal tasting like the fresh almond. "Tnis is better remedy, which is than the coal oil about as bad as the mosquitoes." Others have caught onto the cas tor oil plant trick as well as the South Americana-rfor in some por tions of our coasfconjntry the castor oil plant is planted around houses as a mosquito fence; and the fact that it is so generally thus used in South America ought to give the c o. plant a boost. In the meantime, notwithstand ing this consul's preference for this over the coal oil, it would be a good idea to stick to the oil, which ex perience shows does its work pretty well. It isn't a nice thing to handle, and the mosquitoes don't like it any better than our consul does, but, the consul to the contrary, as a remedy its rank odor isn't in it compared with the festive skeeter's buzz and bite. HOT BY A LOJTG SHOT. Mr. Perry Belmont, of New York, said In a recent interview that "the attempt to establish international bi metallism by the United States alone, without the consent of foreign nations, is as foolish as would be the endeavor to create an international postal system in that way." Jt is unnecessary to remark that Mr. Bel mont is a gold standard man, an J as a banker connected with the hjpse of the Bothschilds is well salpfied with the relegation of silveato a subordinate place in the mo iptary system, but he is off in his opinf ns as expressed in this question. Was the assent of other nations asked when England demonetized silver? Didn't she act on that without consulting any of the other nations, some of which were slow to follow her and some of which haven't yet followed her? Other nations followed be cause England led the way. The assent question didn't come in at all. Do not nations construct their tariff systems without asking the as sent of other nations, and isn't com merce international? If they be lieve a high tariff or a low tariff or no tariff at all is best for them they adopt' it regardless of what other nations may think . about it, and there is no reason why they should not pursue precisely the same Jc ours e with their monetary systems, which they in fact practically do. Mr. Belmont may be a banker and understand his business, but this does notprevent him from talk ing nonsense sometimes. London is opening up the new century with a remarkable showing of crimes, and a considerable assort ment. The criminal court 7 opened. Monday with 58 eases, including two for murder,-three for attempted murder, three for manslaughter and fourteen for robbery with violence. The Londoners seem to be puzzled to account for .this, v Perhaps it is ome of the results of the war spirit, and consequent demoralisation. ', . ' ; -" .". ' -. :.

The Charlotte Observer, which is a zealous advocate of technological schools, with a semi-apology, pub lishes the following from a private letter of President Winston, of the State Agicultural and Mechanical College, to a citizen of Charlotte: ' "There is a great future ahead of our State, if our people would only -see it With plenty of skilled labor ani with the technical knowledge required to direct it. we could make North Carolina one of the greatest States in the Union. We must make a change in our educa tional methods. "I am greatly cheered by thegrowth of this college. A young mm of 20 has just registered as a special student, desiring to educate himself to be a skilled carpenter, builder and contrac tor; another of 25, to be a machinist. If I had the plant here, I could easily get a thousand North Carolina boys ; and, in one or two years at most, change them from 50-cent into 2 , 3-, 4- or 5 dollar workmen. "It is a significant fact that the aver -age locomotive engineer in North Carolina makes more money annually than the average lawyer, doctor, preacher or teacher." Skilled labor as compared with other labor has for years been in great demand and commanded high wages in North Carolina, and the demand for it is constantly increas ing. With as good constructive mechanical talent as there is in the world, we still lack the skilled labor to make some of the simplest ma chinery we daily use, and even have to send off for repairs that cannot be done at home. . But the people are beginning to realize the value of skilled labor as shown by the patronage to the schools that have been established, by the attendance and application for admission to the school at Ral eigh, which could have four times the number of scholars which it has if it could accommodate them. There may be 'room at the top" in all the professions, but this is emi nently true of the mechanical call ings, where there is not only room at the top but room below. Fifty years ago -there were but few avenues of employment open to women in this country and those of an humble character. They couia teach a little school, do needle work, work in cotton mills, keep, boarding houses, set type, bind books, work as domestics, &c, while now nearly all the avenues are open to them and in some States the bollot box, too. There is no good reason why the American woman should not have free entry into every avenue of employment for which she is mentally and physi cally competent. The society women of Cleveland are hopping mad at Mark Hanna because at the hop given on his daughter's coming ont, ho had de tectives all around dressed np in the style of fashion, and the ladies hopped with them without discover ing that they had been swinging corners, etc., with the detectives until a week or so pter, when it leaked out. Hence the hopping in dignation. Some of them are bo mad that they declare they will not attend any more of Hanna's layouts, with the possible exception of, his funeral, which would be his last. CURRENT COMMENT. " Probably one of the things that worries England mest about this South African war is that she has to be so all-fired particular about how she treats other powers while it is going on. Atlanta Journal, Dem. Between the two stools of military inquiry and Congressional investigation the West Point hazers stand an excellent chance of coming easily to the ground. Where there is divergence of view there is likely to be disagreement in conclusions, and so the subject matter of the Booz inquiry may remain as mud dled as it was at the outset. Phil adelphia Record, Dem. The shortage of coal in Europe has become so acute that shipments are being made from this country, and large contracts for futuie delivery are being entered into. In China there are vast coal deposits which can be worked easily, and which are situated conveniently for transportation. Will the lowers be able Xo resist the temptation to make this coal their own by seizing the territory in which it is located? Savannah News, Dem. Notice of a 15 per cent re duction of wages has been given to the 3,000 men employed in the blast furnaces of the Mahoning and Shen ango valleys of Pennsylvania. The 40 cents a ton tariff dnty would keep out foreign ore if any offered to come, and the combination of the thirty or more furnaces enables them to do as they please with the men.

Greensboro Record: Charles Fry, colored,' living near Brown Sum mit, was brought to the city by Deputy Sheriff Oscar Budd Wednesday after noon and placed in jail. A charge of murder is likely to be entered up against him. Last evening he shot a Oolored girl i 1 the abdomen and Dr. Jones, who attended her, says she cannot recover. He probed for the ball but has been unable to locate it. The pistol was so close to her that ponder marks are visible on her cloth ing. Fry says it was an accident; that the two were "fooling" when the pistol went off with the usual result The pair were in an upper room in the bouse and no one saw the shooting.

As the young man didn't care again to climb, bis father, Mr. Thomas Wright, said he would go up and shake him down. Though over sixty-five years old, Mr. Wright climbed the tree like a boy and soon a dead coon was the reward. Scotland Neck Commonwealth: Weldon is to have an ice factory. Wa ter power has been leased and arrange ments are being made for the operation of a large plant there the coming sea son. Mr. J. A. Dunning, of Au- lander, now living in Halifax, in the A. fl. L. service, has an invention which he claims is a most excellent thing for the railroads. It is an im provement on what is known as the "fish plate" on the railroad track. Mr. Dunning's invention is what he calls the "nutless fish plate." He says it has great advantages over the old plate. The bolt that passes through the plate and the rail carries its own nut, which, by a turn in the slot after it passes through the rail, together with the adjustable latch, makes it safer and less liable to break. Mr. Dunning says that the plates can be put on and taken off with his nutless bolt much faster than by the old bolts and nuts. The estimate is that it takes two days to the month on each section of the railroad to keep the bolts and nuts tightened on the plates; whereas with his plate there will be practically no time needed for such work, as the bolts cannot get loose until they are loosened with a wrench. .

Liable tft Develop StronsflT (he Animal la Abased. . .The mule is thonpht to be an exceed ingly.: dull and un.-iprreciative. beast, bnt tbere w oue on thtAst Side that is nei ther dull nor nnappreciative. Sis driver belabored him. unmercifully; for not pall ing a load that was heavy enough for two mules to haul. The man pounded and swore and pounded -ogain; but, do his best, the male could . not badge the wagon, and after several attempts he auit tryinjr. That exasperated the driver more than ever, for he thought the mole was "plac ing off," and he fell to beating him hard er than ever. Meanwhile the mule would torn his head toward the driver as if trying to see what the next form of pun ishment would be, but subsequent events showed that his mulish mind was figur ing on revenge against the driver. Doubtless he got the idea of what he would do from the careless way in which the driver fooled about his bind legs. But anyway his muleship seemed very much pleased when he found he was to be released from the wagon, even if it was to give the driver a freer hand with his club. In a few minutes the mule found himself tied to one of the wheels of the wagon and felt the heavy blows of the club, but he took things philosophic ally and kept one eye on' the driver. Presently the driver got in the position the mule was waiting for, when, like a flash of lightning, two heels struck the driver, and when they picked, him np it was found an ambulance would be need ed to take him home. The mule seemed to glory In his work, or kick, rather, and perhaps the by stander who laughed to see the driver punished for his brutal treatment of the mule only imagined it, but he felt sore the mule joined in the laugh, for his eyes seemed to say that he was immensely pleased over the play he had made ftth his heels. But, be that as it may, when the bystander approached the mole he was met with marked demonstrations of friendship, the mole going so far as to try to rub his nose against the bystand er's face. When the ambulance came, the mule watched them put his driver into it, and as it drove away he raised his voice in a deafening bray and pranced about as if too happy to enjoy even a good meal of oats, corn and hay. The bystander went away firmly of the belief that mules know a whole lot. Chicago Chronicle. r IN CONSTANTINOPLE. Coffe and Kebab Sellers, Boot- blatelca asd Barbers. The Turkish cafe Ji, or coffee seller. Is an omnipresent feature of oriental life, and one has but to cry out "Cafe ji!" without even taking; the trouble to turn his head, and in a trice a tiny cup of Turkish coffee, black and fall of sedi ment, is, smoking; hot, before him. At noon business is particularly brisk, for every clerk and every wayfarer desires to supplement his luncheon of : bread and cheese or bread and lettuce or garlic with the beloved beverage. If at any time you desire' to supple ment, your coffee with a morsel of deli cious fish or a tender, juicy kebab, strong on a spit and broiled over a charcoal bra zier in the open air, give bnt the word, and the wandering kebab ji will be only too glad to turn an honest penny and cook your dinner in the sight of all men. The shoeblacks are perhaps the most persistent of all the street criers. If one has a stationary position, he contents himself with beating a perpetual tattoo on his ornate brass stand, calling lustily meanwhile, "Lustrad ji, lustrad ji!" But if he is a rover he follows a prospective customer for streets, imploring the pub lic to look at those shoes so sadly in need of his attention. Lastly, bat not least in this kaleido scopic procession of business men, comes the Turkish barber, whose repertory in cludes also the offices of chiropodist, den tist and leech. Setting up his umbrella in the shade of some friendly; tree, he is soon ready to attend o the needs of his patrons. , SurroundeC by an; interested crowd of street gamins, be pulls teeth vi et armis, applies the wily leech with an enthusiasm beautiful to see onjrubs, lathers and scrapes his customer, who sits humbly on a stool, holding a brass bowl by both hands under his chin. If the latter is a Turk and1, wishes his head shaved, the barber is careful to leave a tuft of hair unmolested on the top of his pate long enough fori the death angel to grasp him by on his ascent to para dise, while if he is to be shaved or have his nails cot the clippings are carefully preserved to be sent to friends as talis mans. Self Culture Magazine. Old Faabloned Dlmnera the Beat. Many people who are constantly trying to concoct new and tempting dishes over step the mark. People who eat large quantities of the various preserved foods are not always the strongest.: The old fashioned meal of roasted or boiled beef served with its own juices, ; with two plain vegetables and a padding, was far more wholesome than the eight coarse dinner which is served nowadays. Few people know the true flavor of potatoes or rice. In this country seasoning too often means salt and pepper only. Peo ple in the eastern countries, especially the Turks, make most delightful stews and soups by using a combination of vegetables, cooking them slowly enough to draw out the flavor. Extracts and sauces prepared chemically and mustard and horse radish may be taken now and then, perhaps to advantage; irat, as a rale, things of this kind should be avoid ed or used sparingly.

BT.TelezraDh to the Hanunc star. New York, January 11. It was an undecided crowd of traders that gath ered in the cotton pit this morning and the action of the market air day de noted wavering convictions and general-timidity in professional as well as investment circles. Everybody had looked for a very firm opening in Liv erpool, as a response to our great rally of last night But in this they were doomed to disappointment, as the Eng lish market,after opening a shade high er, broke under heavy liquidation and bear hammering, brought out by dis appointment in the Liverpool weekly statement and bearish reports from this side, the latter containing esti mates for increased receipts and growth in crop estimates On the first call prices here declined three to six points with the market steady in I tone. Drier pause followed, after which positive weakness madejtself apparent on every hand. Long cot ton came out a trite freely while some of the more confident 'bears sold for a break. Noon found values net six to eight points lower. But in the early afternoon the mar ket suddenley stiffened on smaller estimates for to-morrow's receipts and pected.the latter showing 221,000 bales as aeainst general ideas of 230.000 to 235,000 bales. Still later, sheer absence of speculative support caused prices to slowly sink anid at the close the de cline had reached a j matter of six to nine points with the market nominally steady in tone. -Philadelphia interests sold May and bought August. Wall street failed to show interest on either side. . i ; - New York, Jan. iL-Ootton middling uplands lQUa. dull; Cotton futures market closed steady: January 9.76.
