PROSPERITY IH SPOTS.
When one duestions the genuine
ness of the prosperity over which the
Republican organs are making so
much ado, they call him a "pessi
mist" who for partisan reasons or
from force of habit refuses to see
and recognize the prosperity which
thev insist should be apparent to
. - j . . .
every one. They sing singly and In
chorus about "dollar wheat," and
they take credit to the Republican
party, by implication at least, for
having brougnt dollar wheat, as if
dollar wheat was heretofore an un
known thing in this country. Before
.I860 we had dollar wheat and dollar
and a half wheat, and between 1860
and 1865 there was dollar and a half
jvheat and two dollar wheat, when
'mere was much less cause, as far as
foreign demand is concerned, for
those prices than there is for dollar
wheat now.
But we haven't dollar wheat now
and didn't have but for a couple
brief spurts when the wheat manipu
lators bulled it up but soon let it
drop. It got down to about 88
cents, where it is now and has been
since the bulls let it drop early in the
rush. We don't see any dollar wheat
now, although the organs still keep
playing upon the dollar string.
Eighty-eight cent wheat in the ship
ping centers means about sixty five
cnt wheat to the farmer, and this
does not leave him a very large mar
gin for profit. Bat the price is so
much larger than he has been get
ting for some years past that it does
really look big and makes many of
tue farmers believe that prosperity
has struck them. The farmers, as
well as other people, are apt to judge
their condition by comparison with
former years and they are so much
better off this year than they have
been for some years past that it is
not strange that they should feel
somewhat comfortable if not jubi
lant. But the organs have quit figuring
on and publishing statements in
bold-face type showing 'The many
millions the farmers were going to
rake in as profits on this crop, be
cause the figures were not supported
bythe facts. They discovered that
they were making themselves ridicu
lous, qui; that kind of thing, and
now confine themselves to rejoicing
in a general sort of a way on the
return of prosperity, which came
with the advent of disaster on the
other side of the water and the
blight of the wheat crops upon which
th j bread eaters of Europe depended.
Of course the improved condition
of the wheat growers of the West
has enabled them to buy more than
they otherwise could and this has j
given a stimulus to certain lines of
manufactures, whereupon these same
organs which have not the cheek to
claim that the Republican party
actually brought dollar wheat, (as
they call it,) exclaim, ""behold
h iw the Dingley tariff has opened
id mills," when the Dingley tariff
lad as little to do with the opening
of the mills as it had with the clos
ing of the Yukon liver to naviga
tion. It was the meney put into cir
culation among the farmers of the
West which created a demand for
goods, gave the manufacturers a
better market for the sale of their
goods and encouraged them to en
large their operations, thus oq iving
employment to more people. If it
hadn't been for this higher priced
w.ieat where would have been the in
ducement to the manufacturer to in
crease his output, or open mills tbat
bad been, closed? So, even the in
creased activity among the manu
factories is tbe result not of Repub
lican statesmanship or legislation,
lmt of the short wheat crops of other
countries Which increased the, price
of our foodstuffs for export, and
opened a home market for tbe goods
our manufacturers made.
It is true the protective tariff, by
reducing, if not practically prohibi
ting, tbe importation of foreign man
uf act ures enabled them to raise on
the prices of their goods and put
more mo aey in their pockets, thus
adding to their prosperity, but this
was at tbe expense of the consumers,
so that what was added to the pros
perity of one was taken from the
prosperity of the other. There was
no real gain there.
But while the wheat grower ot tbe
West and the manufacturers who
sold him goods have boen benefited
by this "prosperity" which had its
origin in the cry for bread from
other countries, the farmers of the
East have been benefitted very little
by It, for they are buyers rather
than sellers of wheat ; and
the farmers of the South
have not been benefitted by it at all,
for they, too, are buyers rather than
sellers of wheat. Tbey are not buy
ers to the same extent that they
once were, for experience has taught
the necessity of raising more of their
borne supplies than tbey did in for-
mer years, which they are doing and
have consequently found it neces
sary to buy less of these, but still
they buy a good deal. While they
do this and have to pay the higher
prices, the crop upon which they are
mai i y dependent cotton has fal
len in price so that it leaves but very
little margin for profit if any.
When we survey the field and take
in the situation and the facts as we
find them, without any desire what
ever to darken the prospect, or an
derrate the prosperity that may have
come, we find that it exists only in
spots, and that although some reap
its benefits there are millions whom
it has not touched and who if not
worse off are as bad off as they were
before it came. With all the loud
rejoicing the country as a whole
lacks a goo J deal of having entered
upon a career of prosperity.
MINOR MENTION.
With all the complaint that has
been made from year to year, and for
years past, about the careless man
ner of baling American cotton for
shipment, there does not seem to
have been much if any improvement.
As bearing upon this we clip the fol
lowing from the Textile World:
' Great complaiat has osen made in
to;mer years ot tne wretched maaner oi
baling the American cotton crop, but for
all of the criticisms and protests that
havs been indulged in, no improvement
has been accomplished. In fact, pooreH
bagging is used to-day than twenty years
ago. No cotton in the world is so badly
pat up for transportation as that of tbe
American crop. Renewed complaint
has recently been made by the leading
marine insurance companies, which in
tend to effect some improvement, if
possible, by advancing the rates on
cotton riiks about 15 per cent. It has
been found that reform i, hereto
fore, have been accomplished only
by some method of this kind. It
is evident to everyone tbat something
should be done to force planters and
others to a better baling and handling
of cotton. What is known as country
daraige has been the cause of much
dispute and claims from manufacturers
This damage occurs to a very great ex
tent before the cotton reaches the pjrs
of shipment, nnd is due to an exposure
of rain, either in the field or on tbe plat
rorm at the railroad depot, or to such
cirelessness as leaving or rolling tbe
bale in mud. We hve seen, time and
time again, cotton thus exposed for sev
era! days, for wbicb there was no seem
ing excuse It is high time for insurance
companies, and. in fact, alt others lo take
this matter into serious consideration
and do something that witl be remedial.
There is no good reason why the Amer
tcan cotton should not be packed and
cared for as scrupulously as tbe Egyp
tian or 1 ilna cotton.
Much has been said aod written
upn this subject and cuts published
showing tbe condition of the Amer
ican bale when it arrives in European
markets compared, or rather con
trasted, with bales from India and
Egypt, one glance at which would
show how much more care the
Egyptian and Indian packer gives to
baling, and why their cotton is not
docked for waste, wear and tear as
our cotton is. There may be rea
sons for the pojrzr quality of bag
ging used, in the lower price of cot
ton and the higher price of bagging
which in consequence of the protec
tive tariff is controlled by Trusts, as
ties also are, but this is mistaken
economy when it is stated that it
costs the planters of the South $12,
000,000 in the aggregate. But per
haps a solution ot tbis question will
be reached in the round bale, if
that should become the bale of the
future, for being more compactly
compressed, with so much loss elas
ticity, and so much easier handled, it
will require less wrapping and bind
ing, and will go to market in a neat,
tidy condition, perfectly secure from
waste and damage by dust or dirt-,
or fire.
That was an interesting Interview
published yesterday with the Cuban
agent, Col. George Johnston, who
has been in St. Louis purchasing
ammunition, &c, for the Cuban
army. Aside from what we consider
the indiscretion of letting the Span
iards know the amounts of supplies
purchased, where they are to be
shipped from, &c , (unless this be a
ruse to fool the Spaniards and turn
their eyes in the wrong direction,)
the talk of Col. Johnston is Inter
esting as showing the confidence of
the Cubans in ultimate success and
the determined spirit that actuates
them. As to their determination to
have independence or nothing, his
statements are borne out by the ut
terances of other Cuban leaders who
have been heard from since the new
ministry has come into power. There
are sufficient indications that a strong
effort will be made when Congress
a
meets to secure recognition of bel
ligerency. As a step in this direc
tion the Cubans are massing their
armies, taking the offensive and car
rying the war into the provinces os
tensibly held by the Spaniards. If
they succeed in holding their ground
there and demonstrating their ability
to hold -a i front against the
Spanish among the argument for rec
ognition ot belligerency will be so
strong that we don't see how it can
be refused, especially as the sympa
thies of Congress and of the country
are unquestionably with the fighters
for freedom. Belligerency rights
recognized will mean, as Col. John
ston says, speedy Independence, for
most assuredly if Spain cannot con
quer the Cubans now, when tbey
have so much difficulty In securing
arms, munitions of war and other
supplies, she would stand no earthly
show when our ports were open to
Cuban vessels and Cuban vessels
could fly the Cnban flag. That
Cuba would have vessels there is no
doubt, for Col. Johnston tells us that
the day recognition of belligerency
comes 42 will be flying the Cuban
flag.
For year j, and even yet, the South
ern people made, and still make, .the
mistake of buying ia other States
many things that they could and
should make at home, tbe result of
which was tbat millions of dollars
which should have been kept at
home went oat annually to pay for
the things that were bought. But
the South doesn't stand alone in this,
for the people of the United States
commit the same blunder. We are
to-day importing sugar to tbe
amount of $120,000,000 a year, in
addition to what we make, while we
could with a proper effort not only
make sugar enough to supply our
own wants, but become ex
porters of sugar. The cane growing
area of this country has .never
been covered, for little effort has
been made to grow cane ontside of
Louisiana, while experiments show
that the sugar beet may be success
fully cultivated almost everywhere in
this country, in some sections where
the climate and soil are better
adapted to Its culture, more success
fully than in others, but there is
adaptable area enough, even with a
comparatively small acreage, to grow
beets enough to supply this country
with all the sugar it could consume,
and leave a large excess for export.
This will be done some day, but in tbe
meantime we will be sending many
millions annually abroad to pay for
the sugar we import.
A Philadelphia policeman aroused
the indignation of a lot of people the
other day by jumping on and drag
ging to the calaboose an innocent
Iodking little fellow in knee breeches.
They felt very much like mobbing
the cop, but when they reached the
station house and discovered that tbe
little fellow in short pants was "Dub
lin Joe," a notorious pick-pocket,
about forty years old, who had his
pockets stuffed with stolen truck,
they changed their minds and con
cluded that it isn't safe all the time
to judge a man
by the cut of his
breeches.
Charters have been secured and a
company formed to build a railroad
up the North Pacific to Bering
Straits, which it will cross by bridges
and make connection with the Rus
sian Trans Siberian road, on which
work is now progressing, thus mak
ing continuous rail travel from this
country to Europe. It is expected
that the Trans-Siberian road will be
completed by 1905, when the trip
around the globe can be made in
thirty-one days at a cost of $500.
A leprosy conference just held in
Berlin has decided that although that
disease is contagious it is not heredi
tary, and announced that it has dis
covered the cause of leprosy in a ba

gress the doctors will now turn their
attention to getting the better ot the
bacillus, and there may be hope for
hope for the leper yet.
Fighting is a jolly sort of busi

up and left only 60 living to run

Yesterday marked tbe 73th birthday
of one of Wilmington's most highly re

For over fifty-ibrt.e years ot his eventful
life he has-been a Mason, and last night
at tbe lodge room of St. John's
Lodge No. 1, A. F. and A. Masons a
Masonic reception was tendered tbe
venerable gentleman, which certainly
testified love and esteem.
Tne meeting was called to order by
Mr. R. C. Merritt, W. M who stated its
purpose and also that the lodge bad de
cided to present Mr. Ricaud with a cer
tificate of honor. Mr. E. S. Martin was
called upon to present the certificate,
which he did in a few able remarks, al
luding to tbe life and character of Mr.
Ricaud. Mr. Ricaud accepted tbe cer
tificate in a short, but eloquent speech.
Speeches were then made by Mr. C
H. Robinson, P. G. M., of Wilmington
Lodge; Mr. W. M. Pciason, of St. John's
Lodge; Mr. M. S. Willard, W. M.. of
Orient Lodge, and others, after which
choice refreshments were served.
The reception last night was eminent
ly fit and proper, inasmuch as it did
tribute to a man honored alike in the
Masonic fraternity and among the peo
ple at large. Mr. Ricaud's life has been
one of great usefulness a blessing to
his day and generation. He has spent
his years and strength in that noblest of

Born March 10. h. 1806. in that part of
the present county of Pender known as
Holly Shelter, he was descended from

Revolutionary army, and was killed, at
the head of his company, in as en

many years chairman of the Board of
Magistrates ot New Hanover county,
and also an inspector ot naval stores.
He passed away on yesterday after
noon, his dying bed surrounded by two
sons, tbree daughters and thirteen grand
children, exemplifying the inspired as
surance of tbe Psalmist that to "Keep
innocency and do the thing that is right
will bring a man peace at the last." He
was loved because be was loving; re
spected because he was manly, and true,
and jast; and be was venerable' because
the silvery bato ot age was tbe reflection
of a character pure, and strong, and
helpful to his fellow man. His latter
years were burdened by grievous physi

amidst the tender ministrations of his
large and loving family, and particularly
bv the pathetic and really angelic watch
fulness ot a little grand-daughter, to
whom he was most devotedly attached.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Mr. Wait r . Galloway Ban Over br

road and Fatally Irjir d Died at
tbe City Hospital Funeral This
Morning at 10.20 O'clock.
Mr. Walter A. Galloway, a young
white man of this city, was run over and
fatally injured Sunday afternoon by shift
ing engine No. 14, on the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad; but the circum
stances which led to his death are as
deeply shrouded in mystery as the acci'
dent was fatal.
Sunday altera ooa about 6 o'clock, on
the side-track of the Atlantic Coast Line
under Fourth streejt bridge, Mr. Gallo
way said good bye to two friends
Messrs. Cbas. Collins (aot ex policeman
C. E. Collins), and Mr, Geo. Silvey, in
whose company he had been for several

supposed to go to the residence of

unfortunate youth parted with bis two
irieaas it vas aoout aa nour before tbe
accident, yet it is said that- he was last
seen alive twentv minutes before tbe fa
tal occurrence. Bit tbe facts in the case
as so far gathered are as follows
Saaday afternoon about 7 o'clock en
gine No. 48 was on a side track shifting.
and switched on to tbe Wilmington and
Weidon track, and oa to a cross-track,
and tbea shifted on to the W., C Si A,

time to ahow tbe switchman to turn
the d.flirent switches. After the engine
bad entered upon tbe main track of the
W.. rj. At A. Railroad, Engineer C. D
Wooten moved tbe engine slowly back,
but it bad hardly gotten forty feet from
tbe cross track, wnich connects the two
main tracks, before a yell from the
switchman, a colored man, who was
standing on tbe rear of tbe engine, made
Mr. Wooten bring tbe locomotive to a
standstill and jump from the cab to
ascertain what was tbe matter. It was
then tbat the mangled and bleeding
form of young Galloway was taken
from beneath tbe wheels of tbe
engine. His bsad and body were
between tbe two rails uninjured, but
bis right leg was severed at the
knee, while only a thread of skin con
nected the left leg wfth the bod. A
physician was saat for. and Dr. J. T.
Scbonwald responded, and administered
chloroform to the uafortunate youth
Youig Galloway was then removed to
the city bospital. where Drs. Scbonwald.
Bulluck and Zicharyheid a consultation
ana decided that aa operation was ne-
ceisarv, which was later performed. At
10.23 o'clock, however, young Galloway
died, in spite of all possible medical
aid.
There is no telling how the acci
dent happened, and theories In a matter
of this Kind are perfectly nonsensical.
The scene of the accident was on the
W., C & A. railroad track, running par
allel With the W. & W. railroad track,
between Seventh and Eighth streets,
about forty teet from a cross track con
necting the two lines, and at a point
whicb, at tbe time of the accident, was
extremely dark not only on account
of the night, but by shadows cast from
high embankments, trees and houses.
There were five persons on board tbe
engice when the accident occurred, engi
neer Wooten and fireman Axem (tbe lat

HORRIBLE
CRIME AT

ROCKY
An Attempted Assault on a Youdb Ltdy
Near the Pnblio Highway.
Rocky Mount, N. C, Oct. 19.
It is seldom that the people of any
community are so enraged as the peo
ple of Rocky Mount are, over the recent
attempted outrage on Mist Cera Yarbo
roagb, tbe adopted daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Jno. B. Barnes. The crime seems
the more horrible from the fact that it
was committed bv Jno. 6 Barnes,' the
man to whom sbe looked for fatherly
protection.
The facts are as follows: Miss Y it
borough had been with Barnes to tbe
Tar River Baptist Association. Oa their
return borne, about five miles from
Rock? Mount, it seems tbat Barnes at
tempted to kiss her, which sbe resented,
and told him if be attempted to do so
again sbe would jump out of the buggy.
Upon a second attempt Miss Yarbor
ongb leaped from the boggy, when
Barnes followed her and; attempted an
outrage on her person. She made all tbe
resistance she could aad was screaming
for help, when two buggies drove up and
several men came to her relief, wbicb
prevented the unmentionable crime f om
being committed.
When Barnes found out he was
caught, be said: "Well, men, I am
caught; my passion overcame me. is the
only reason I can give for tbe act."
