BY WIlaJAM B. fiuttlfARD WLLiMTNGTUJJU 14. C. Saturday Mobxhtg, Apbil 5. ; AFSAIB OF IT. The opinion is gaining ground in Washington that neither the Ship Subsidy bill nor the Nicaragua Canal bill will pass at this session of Congress.. The reasons for the hold up of both are thus rigorously set forth in a leading editorial in the New York Herald of Wednesday: "Tne Subsidy, bill passed by the Sen ate Bat aroused such indignation, par tieularlv in the West and South, a alarms the gentlemen in charge of that increniona scheme for giving the people's money to a few favored con tributors to Republican campaign funds "Thev fear that the enactment of the bill would hare a disastrous effect in the aDDroachinsr Congressional elec tionsall the more so as broad-minded Republicans everywhere are already disgusted with the treatment of Cuba and with the efforts or the party lead ers to thwart the popular and patriotic demand for the construction or the Nicaragua Canal. "Interviews with Representatives from everv part of the country, given in the Herald's Washington dis natches this morning, indicate that the Subsidy bill cannot pass the House at this session. Its sponsors, however, will try to secure a favor able report from the committee, and thereby encourage its beneficiaries to open their purse strings freely in the hope that it will be enacted next winter. "The attitude of the agricultural population toward this scheme is en couraging evidence that they are no longer to be easily bamboozled. They have been told by Messrs. Hanna, Frye and Orosvenor that subsidies to shipping would give them cheaper ocean transportation for their pro ducts, and hence increased prices. But the farmer is able to, estimate that sort of 'guff' at its true value, because he is just now receiving an object lesson. "When the Dingley bill was passed. enabling favored interests to tax the people for their own personal gain, the farmer was assured that he, too, was to profit by it wasn't there "protec tion" for his wheat in the tariff of twenty-five cents a bushel? He has discovered that the price of his wheat i fixed by the world's demand, while he is compelled to pay the protected manufacturers higher prices than are paid by European consumers for ar t" made in the same American fac tories. ine people thoroughly understand that the bulk of the money which wou'd be paid out of the Treasury un der the subsidy bill would go to exist ing lines having the largest and fast eat steamships, and would merely in crease their already high compensa tion. Legislation for taking money from the masses and giving it to a few whether in the guise of excessive 'protection" or by direct bounties will no longer be tolerated. Wnile the sums to be paid out the first year under this b 11 would not be oppres sive to this rich country, the bounty svatem ia vicious and grows by what it feeds upon. Look at the proportions that the "infant industries" have as sumed under high protection and judge of the possibilities that lie in the bjunty system. , "As to the pretended stimulus to American snipouilding, it is Known to everybody that this never was so active, having started the year with about four hundred thousand tons of easels under contract. 8ir Christo pher Furness, head of the great British shipping firm, after bis recent pro tracted tour of our coasts, announced that he had deeded to become inter ested in a new shipbuilding plant in this country. Like every intelligent student of the situation, he perceived that with the cheapest coal and steel in unlimited supply the United States has the advantage of all rivals; and, moreover. Sir Christopher, part pro . prietor of five shipbuilding yards in Eagland, asserts that even the labor is cheaper here, because the men work twenty per cent, longer hours. "It is significant that the most ar dent advocates in Washington of the subsidy scheme are also the most con spicuous opponents of the Nicaragua Canal, the constructin of which would enormously benefit our trade and give real and unmistakale stimulus to American commerce. For many years the railway interests have balked and thwarted the popular demand for this great undertaking. When it is re membered that our railway capitalists are heavy investors in existing steam ship lines and that there is now a closer alliance than ever before be tween transcontinental and transat lantic interests, a curious question occurs as to whether it is a mere coin cidence that the same persons are found bottling up the proposed com peting water route between the two coasts and simultaneously endeavor ing to enrich the Atlantic carriers at the public expense." The Herald hasn't the semblance of politics in it. It professes to be and comes as near being thoroughly independent as any paper in this country, but never neutral. It has no regard for parties as such, nor for politicians as such, and it op poses or supports parties and party measures and candidates accord ingly as they differ from or come up to its views of what is right and best for the country. It is not infallible, of coarse, and blunders sometimes, as all the "great dailies" do, but it aims to be right and comes as near it on the average as any of them. We mention this to show that the edi torial we quote is not inspired by partisan bias nor by prejudiced against the Republican party, which the Herald has supported quite as often, if not of tener, than it has op posed it. It supported that party in 1896 and again in 1900, and hence this vigorous arraignment is signifi oant,f or it is an arraignment not only f the course of the party leaders on the ship subsidy scheme, but also of their course on the Nicaragua ca nal, and is an arraignment on general principles of the whole protective policy of those leaders. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that there is not a paper in the city of New York except a few party organs which is not strongly op posed to this subsidy scheme, and New York is the greatest shipping port in the country, where the senti ment ought to be strong for an American 'merchant marine and where it doubtless would be strong if there were any prospect of reviv ing the merchant marine in some way that didn't involve plundering the American people out of millions of dollars annually for the benefit of campaign contributors. The Herald is doubtless right in the assertion that the subsidy bill will not be passed at this session of Congress. They are afraid to run the risk of defeat in the coming Congressional elections, by fasten ing such a fraud as that upon the people; but if they succeed in elect ing a respectable majority to the next Congress they will construe that as a nr&ctical endorsement of their course and they will then have the courage to run the subsidy bill through and other measures that they are afraid to put through now. Republicans always scan the po litical field when important meas nres are pending and govern them selves according to their opinion as to the effect those measures might have on the ballot box and on the men to whom thev look for the bulk of the 'contributions" for campaign purposes. As to this they have been placed in more of a quan dary this year than ever before, for they had to decide between the op position to pampering policies and the namnered and thev have tried to keep in with both by yielding as far as they dared to the dictation of the pampered and trying to fool the people by false pretences as they had been doing for years. Under the fraudulent pretence of fostering and promoting American industries they took the side of the Sugar combines in refusing to show fair play ! to Cuba, in proposing to vote millions annually to rich ship owners,1 and in refusing to touch the tariff and lighten the load the American people have to carry; but they are not fooling the people as easily as they have done in previous years, for the people who have supported the policies which weighed them down have had their eyes opened and have learned a good many things which they didn't know about those policies and' have learned j them from Republican speakers and writers, too. The buncoers may, perhaps, with the vi am ot side issues, De aDie 10 iooi m d ppeople again, but they will not find it as easy a matter found it heretofore. as they haye j SILK CULTURE. As there is a growing interest in this State in the subject of silk cul ture we publish as a matter of in formation to those contemplating engaging in it, the following circular from Mr. Gerald McCarthy, .Biolo gist of the State Department of Ag riculture: "One-tenth ounce of ailk-worm eggs will be sent to any one sending us 30 cents, April 20. The eggs cannot be prevented from hatching long after that date, and it is very necessary that you shall, before the eggs come make all needed arrangements for caring for the worms. This matter is fully ex plained in our bulletin of November. 1901. A new and enlarged edition of this bulletin is in preparation. A copy will be sent you as soonas published. "One-tenth ounce of eggs will pro duce about 4,000 worms, these will re quire at least 200 pounds of fresh mul berry leaves from their birth to the period of forming the cocoon. Only the white mulberry produce a first rate quality of silk, but the worms will eat any mulberry or osage orange leaves. ; Those who wish to raise worms for the experience only can feed them upon any mulberry. A clean place, with trays, perforated paper or netting must be provided in advance as is fully explained in the bulletin referred to. "The president of the Sericulture Company of America,' has recently written us that his company is in the market ! to purchase for cash all the cocoons that can be produced in North Carolina for many years to cornel There will also be a large demand for Bilk-worm eggs, and those who are sucessful in producing good cocoons and eggs will not lack a market. "It is also likely that the N. C. Ag ricultural Society will offer at the next, and subsequent, Fairs good pre miums for North Carolina grown co coons and silk. The prospect is surely encouraging, but let no one make the mistake of supposing that any large degree of success can be achieved in silk-growing without experience, fore thought and perseverance 1 "If the beginner get a year's experi ence and as many eggs as he started with be has done reasonably well for the first year. "Those who wish to make silk-growing a regular and permanent part of the home work of the women and chil dren of the family should procure and plant this Spring one pound of seed of the white mulberry. Such seed can be had of Thomas Mehan and Sons. Philadelphia, Pa , and of J. M. Thor burn & Co., of New York. "Those who wish to hasten the start can buy seedling mulberries of Mehan for $3 00 per 1,000. Tne seedlings when one year old should be planted as hedge around a rich garden or barn yard, and cared for as is done for the common osage orange. The seeds should be planted about April 20ih in rich, dry, garden soil. Make drills about three feet apart, sow seed one inch deep and one inch apart in drill. Keep elean and water in dry weather to secure well grown plants to set out the following Spring. Do not plant the hedge along a public road as the worms do not relish dusty leaves. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is quoted as saying a few days ago that President elect Palma is in danger of being assassinated if he goes to Havana to be inaugurated, not because of any personal antipathy . to him but because the Cubans believe his election was manipulated by the United States. This j accords with the declaration made by a Havana citizen some time ago while on a visit to this country. He predicted the assassination of Palma if he went to Havana and that the out come would be internicine war. For Wnooping Oou use UlUSNEY'S PEOTOBANT. rot sals bj Hardlnl palace Fnsrmaor, PAY YOUR POLL TAX. There are but a few weeks Jeft within which to pay your poll tax and put yourself in a position to be able to vote in the coming Novem ber elections. As the . election law reads the voter who is liable to poll tax will disfranchise himself if he fails to pay the tax on or before the 1st day of May next, now but a few weeks off. There is a difference of opinion, it is true, as to thesoope of this law, but registrars and poll holders will be governed by it and that settles the matter as far as the voter is concerned, so that the safe thing for the man to do who values his vote is to pay the tax and get out of the pale of dispute There should be some organized effort made to bring this to the at tention of believers in white suprem acv. The Democrats of Anson county are moving in the right direction, as shown by the following resolution adopted at a recent meet ing of the Democratic county com mittee: "Resolved, That it is the sense of nrAAlnet committee call a meeting of his committee for Saturday, April 5th, tnr thA mirrVttA of nnttinff SUCh Bit chinery in motion as they deem neces sary to get Democratic voters to pay their boD tax before May 1st. These meetings to be held at the various vot ing precincts at 2 o ciocx in tne aitcr noon." This is in line with the suggestions made in these columns when we first nulled attention to this matter. What is everybody's business is no body's business and generally busi ness of that kind suffers for want of attention. If the county and town ship committees take hold of it in everv county, as urged in this An son resolution, thousands of votes may be saved which otherwise may be lost. There are counties, as we learn from our exchanges, where there are as many as 1,200 white men liable to poll tax who have not yet paid it. These are not all Demo crats, but, doubtless, the large ma jority of them are. The Republican machine managers are calculat ing on the Democratic party los ing about 30,000 votes because of failure of white men to pay the poll tax in time, while they are making assessments on office-holders and aspirants to office to raise funds to pay the tax for negroes who can read and write, and for white de linquents whose votes they can con trol. This should stimulate active work by Democrats to counteract this scheme, and should also arouse the delinquent Democrat who thinks enough of his party to try to save it from defeat, and of his State to protect it from the horde which is working to get control of it. Time flies, and there is none to be lost: but the delinquent should remember that failure to pay this tax by the 1st of May will not re lieve him from it, for it can and will be collected afterwards if not paid by that time.

Cook, of i GardJter, Kansas. 3 Rheumatism, terrible in its acute, and long enduring in its chronic, form, is one of the most baneful diseases that human beings suffer from. -It is a disease that will not bear neglect, for if not treited promptly will remain till death to harass, torture, and make life miserable.' ! Rheumatism is also a constitutional disorder and hereditary. Because o: an inactive condition of the kidneys and bowels the blood is not purified. and an acrid poison is formed and de posited in the muscles and joints, and tnts causes tne inflammation ana in tense agonies that thousands are oblig ed to endure. Too often, the effects of rheumatism are fatal, especially when the dead disease affects the heart; then death ia sudden. Many other serious complications result from this terrible disease, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, meningitis, and diaphragmitis, and these often prove rapidly. Racked and tortured reader, what are you doing to get rid of your danger Physicians candidly admit their ina bility to cure. The ordinary medi cines of tbe day may give you relief for a few hours or days; they cannot banish the disease from your blood, joints, and muscles; they cannot take the swellings from your knees, elbows. or wrists, or make supple the stiffened and twisted limbs. You cannot longer afford to experiment; death is the sure result of experiment and neglect. To-day, your only hope lies in the immediate use of Dr. Phelps' wonder ful rheumatism banisher Paine's Celery Compound. This tested and world-famed vanquisher of rheuma tism, neuralgia, and other troubles that arise from impure and poisoned blood, is now fully recognized by the medical profession as a positive and unfailing cure. The following impor tant letter sent by Mrs. Cook, is but one of the many thousands received from prominent and well known peo pie in every 8tate of the Union, who have been cured by Paine's Celery Compound. Mrs. Cook says : "I was sorely afflicted with rheuma tism some time ago, so much so that I was unable to go about the house; I had to be carried. I tried all kinds of medicines and liniments to no effect. For months I was helpless, unable to to turn myself in bed, and suffering with pain which was almost unendur able. Finally, by chance, I noticed an advertisement of fame's ueiery Compound and concluded to try it After using one bottle it seemed to be helping me, and I continued to use it until I bad no more rheumatic pains.

COTTON MARKETS. tty TetexraDH to tbe (lormnit Btar New York, April 4 The cotton market opened firm in tone with prices I three to six points higher in response 14 - l I 11-1 T 1 m surprisingly ouuisn Liverpool cables and generally strong statistical information from all quarters. Do mestic information was quite as bull ish as that from abroad and for tbe time being everything seemed to fayor the bull side. Yet after further ad vancing two to four points soon after the call tbe market followed an unus ually narrow rut for the rest of tbe day. An enormous line of July cotton was sold out. conservatively esti mated at 800,000 bales, around 8.93 8 94. Philadelphia interests were heavy buyers of the May option. which at one time was selliDg two points over July. August was eagerly purchased by brokers believed to be acting for Wall street interests. The spinning and southern elements gave attention almost entirely to the purchase of April and May con tracts. April sold several- times at 9 cents and closed at about the top, with demand still active. Liverpool had been I counted upon to come one point lower, but instead advanced one and a half points on futures and l-32d on spot cotton up to the time of the New York opening, and later further advanced 1 points on heavy general nuying. fori receipts were again very light, preparations for the new crop were said to be two weeks late, mules reported scarce, demand for cotton goods was broadening rapidly, spot demand for raw cotton in the South was very urgent from spinners as well as from exporters, the "in sight" for the week was given the superintend ent of the Cotton Exchange as only 84 880 bales against 150,000 the same week last year, tbe world's visible supply decreases 124.000 bales against a decrease same week last year of only 89,000 bales; the American visible supply decreased 130.000 bales for the week against only 6.0.000 bales decrease same week last year. The close was steady at about the ton for the day oh present crop months, a net rise of seven to nine points. Late crop months were quiet and net un changed to three points lower. Fa vorable weather reports served to de- tress new crop months In the absence of speculative support. Nbw YORK, April 4.
