The chief element of a nation's strength is its boae aad sinew coupied with hope aad aaubitiori. A aatioa is strong whose tiieu atia women are robust in body aud mind. The true test of govern meats and all other social organ ism is found in the characteris tics of their human x)roduct. The gagueof which the test is to be applied must include the mult; tude aod find its expression in "the gieatestgood to the greatest number," . A nation is -both stroug and rich when, among its inhabitants, ail who are industrious and f ru gat are provided with the com Sorts of lilo gom mensuriite with the individuPvl ell'ortput forth and sacrifice made. A nation abound ing in millionaires and paupers may possess a vast aggregate of wealth and yet be poor indeed. Such a nation is not strong but weak, arid is rapidly approaching decay. Li Hung Chang is reputed to be the richest man in the worid, his posses ions being estimated at 1.500 000. OOO.This Chinese vie eroy, if the resident of a city of ouo hundred thousand, every in hibitantof which except himself being a pauper, would., make that city nominally the richest city iu the world, while in fact it would be the poorest. The condition of such a city would be mise;ry, bor dering on death, and poor, indeed in comparison wi th the brdinary American city or town that does not yet boast of a si ugic million aire, but which is filled with hap: py homes sanctified with love, hope and ambition that is'daily fructi fying into a broader life. Here the fire of patriotism burns in every breast making the nation strong and rich. That nation is strongest that abounds in homes where tenement houses and hov els are rarest, and where the largest number eat vegetables grown in their own gardens aud gather fruit from their own vines and trees , . At the outbreak of the Ameri can revolution, France alone was the only power that challenged England's claim to first place amoD the powers of earth. The thirteen colonies were scattered over a vast territory, isolated from each other, with meager population and but little wealth. Between them no bond of union existed until they were driven to gether in defense of their liber ties against a common foe, The inhabitants of the colonies con sisted of men and women "inspir ed with a love of liberty, in whose hearts hope and ambitiou were perennially expanding and who worshiped only the Man of Nazi reth. knowing no master but the King of Kin s. The colonies thus posssssed elements of national strength thai the mother country did not possess. They proved themselves invincible in a seven year's war. From the farms and shops sprang f rlh heroes.states men aud diplomats. As their handiwork the world beheld for the first time a nation whose cor ner stone was the rights of .'man. Jeff son was scoffed at by 'ti e sages of the old worid as aii ideal ist. The philosophers of desnot- ism derided his experiment aud fixed a short limit of time for its duration. The young giant of the Western Hemisphere with nearly a century and-a quarter of time, aud four wars behind it. stands today first ainoug the pow ers of earth. The chief element of its streugth is its boueand sinew, coupled witfi hopeaud am bition. . " History is replete with valuttf ble lesions.

Therefore there is m. bond of sympathy between Great Britain1 and the United States such as warrants the proposed a Ilia nco The Unit d States stands alone as the exemplar of brotherhood in government and can best work Out the destiny of man without entangliug alliance. The money gol has usurped the throne of the Man jbi Nazareth in tho British heart. Britain has passed the zenith of its power and has entered upon its decline Its system is a false one measur ed by the test of its human pio duct. It enslaves other nations to add to the wealth of its miliion airs, and forgets the welfaie of its toilers at homo and abroad. China, whose inhabitants aura ber nearly one third of the human race, has become the prey of all nations and is about to be par celled out among the powers, be cause a despotic government has crushed hope and ambition out of the hearts of the people and they are devoid of patriotism. The condition of life is so hard upon the averaged Chinaman, that to him any change" must be better. China is weak and helpless be cause her population will ; not fight to uphold their government and rulers. ' The United States is strong. The home and the family altar is the citadel of its strength. Hope and ambition inspire the move ments of our people and stimu late them to great achivement. Our system is Americao. It is not borrowed. It has proved it self to be the best gauged by the test of "the greatest good to the greates t n u m be r. "-Sil ve r-Knigh t Watchman Nogro Training at Tuskegee. During the last few years the Tnskegee, Ala., Normal aud Train ing Institute has oade remarka ble stride.? under the able manage ment of Booker 1. ; shiugton, the negro educator and phiianthr pUt." This year it has an enroll ment of 1,044 students (712 bojs aud 335 girls). Tho scholars, to gether writh the teachers and their families, who live on the grounds, make a total population of 1,200 persons. It is tho purpose of the Institute to elevate the negro and develop Christian character. Be sides the spiritual training, each pupil is taught a trade or iudustiy and given a ti orough academic course, making him an intelligent und desirable citizen, and a helper and tpacher of his own race. In all ther are taught twenty six iri tlustries. It is estimated that at least 2,000 wi rkers from the Insti tute are now scattertfhrouirhout the South. 321 of these are grad uates, the others having left before the - completion tf the course on account of a laeltof funds," hut stili with a "gxTstarfc in tho right di rection.

Bat iudep ndan.tly of these con sideratipns the canal will be a benefaction to the country, and more parti', u la rly to the Pacific Coast. It will break the over land rairoal monopoly which holds in its grip and half stran gles that section of the union. It will decree a divorce between these railroads and the great trusts that now control distribu tion absolutely1. Take the sugar trust for exam amble. Though sugar has come in free of duty to San Francisco from Hawaii for more than twen ty, years, the prices of the Eastern protected market have ruled there because, the trust, in collu sion with the railroads, has been able to make its own quotations. But for that collusion the Ar buckles would build refineries on the Pacific" coast, and compete with the trust. Wherever rail roads run out their a low rate for the trust exists along with a pro hibitive rate for every threaten ing rival. Tae Standard Oil monopoly owes its being to railroads. East West, North and South they have entered into a'criminal conspira cy with it to club competitors to death. There is a high standing ra te o n oi 1, W.!e ne e r the mon opoly wishes to stock up at any point that rate is suspended until it transports its supplies, and then the stabdicg rato confronts all other shippers. Over the wide area thatwould be affe -ted by the Nicaragua; ca nal this system of favoritism would be no longer possible. That naturally, would be a tremendous gain for honest business and dis astrous to the thieving co' bines. And this object lesson will be of immense" use to the country, inasmuch as it will teach the peo ple how to attack the trusts suc cessfully. So long as they are permitted to go into partnership with the rail roads secret tarifis and re babes will enable them to defy the laws enacted for their suppression. Should government ownership of the railroads-be necessary to smash tre trusts, the country in time will be prepared to apply the remedy. Either the people musi master the trusts or the trusts will master the people. New York journal. Weldon Flour Mill.

The '"capacity of the mil! will be 75 barrels per day, to begin with, ind probably later as'thedemand' for the goods increases, the ca pacity will be increased propor tionately.

The editor of McCalPs Maga fzine delivers this homily on gig gling; Why do giris giggle? Certainly not I'rom mirth- tht honest girlish merrimentandlovt feeling as we all do 'that life's sor' rows come all to soon anyhow Nt it is not that for were it so giggling would not be irriattiug and vexations to onlookers, but would be indulgently tolerated like many noises dear to the yoathful makers of them, but long ago given up with othei childish things by their elders. One expects children to love thV noise and movement by which they'give expression to the exu beratit animal spirits natural to healthy childhood; but there is a vast.difference between this and the giggling in which girls of from! about fifteen to eighteen so frequently indulge. The latter, instead of being a symptom of heaUhy vitality, always seems to indicate a nature tainted with a morbid self consciousness, and having a tendency to hysteria, "Why. will girls giggle?' Sure ly if only they could see them selves as they appear to spec ta tors,! they would see how sense less and undignified they look as they give way on all occasions, regardless of their surroundings, to u nco n t rolled ti t te ri u gs. The average boy looks on them with amazement, and wonders how his isisters and their friends. whose scholastic attainments he begins to stand somewhat in awe of, cdn makei such idiots of them selves. They may know a lot of algebra. Latin, Greek and even half-a-dozen 'ologies of which he has no cognizance, but he can never think very much of crea ture who behave like that he thinks scornfully, and probably thanks his stars hat he isn't a girl! ! V . "Certainly it seems odd that present day girls, with their su peior education, and their high aims to be and to do-what is good and noble, and to take their part bravely in tre battle of life.shoul have so little self-control, tnat at lectures, and in the streets, and in all 'sorts of public places, even some of the best of them wil give way to senseless fits of gig gling.' The spectacle makes one feel that there is a screw loose somewhere in our system of dis cipline and training of the young, and th .t the sooner it is discover ed the better. It would be well, if we could not teach our srirls to give up giggling, altogether to make them see how foolish the indulgence of the habit makes them appearand to give way to it only 'in the privacy of the four walls of home, where judgments pass on them are likely to be less harshHhan sn the outside world, A Mississippi editor perpet rates the following: Fish down into pour pockets and dig up the dust he editor is getting hun gry -SLtid the paper 'bout to bust' We've trusted v'ou several months and did it with a smile, so just re turn the compliment and trust us for awhile.

ABOUT TEE DISPESSARY- Has Proved A Success Wherever Given a fair Trial The Out) at Pityetteviiltt The Legislature just elected will have this question befor them squarely. The Dispeusir has been tried in North Caroli tn and has proved a success in les seuing the j evils if d rink: W shall spoak froir4 pessonal obstr vation The Distwosa! v in Fav etteville has by us. We beeucloseiy watchf d worked hard for its . establishment in order to over throw the dozen saloons in the town. It was opened in tho fact of violent opposition. The Supe rior and the Supreme Court wers invoked to close its doors. The saloon power was not read) to give up without a hard fight, and every effort was made to ue stroy the "infant industry," But is was not j so easily destroyed On the other hand, it has gone ol making friends right aud left, in town and' country, among resi dents and nonresidents. Man) who opposed its establishment and fought it before the Legisla ture are now earnest advocates ofiv Of course it has its eue mies There are those directly interested in tho liquor t rati c, those indirectly interested and some who just want the old sa loon system, who are ready -U stab it whenever the opportunity occurs. From observation and inquiry we are of the opinion that a large majority of the better ele ment of ouripeople are in favoi the Dispensary remaining in out midst. There are some amend ments necessary to the law, but the principle has proven itself worthy support It has materi ally lessened drunkenness, both in the town and country.' Imme diately after its establishment there were mote "blind tigers' man ior some time, aggressive work on the part of the state and federal courts scon cured a num ber of offenders. The illicit traf fie now is not very large. The Dispensrry opens at sun rise and closes at sunset It does not sell to minors or drunkards There are now on the books ol the institution a number of "pre scribed'persons.The manage rand hisassistintsdo not sell to them j , It is an easy matter togetdrunk ards on the; "dead list" There is no drinking in the place and no treating. There is uocongregat ing about the place. It has no) backdoor, no billiard attachment no eating department The li quors ar sold in packages and delivered direct to the purchaser A salaried man runs it The prof it go into the city and and county treasury. Both of these iave re ceived far more money during the past year; thau they did un der the old sa'oon license system This feature of it has won over those who fa vored the saloon as re ve n ue ge t te r s Th e Di s pe n sa- ry closes on big political days and wThen there appears anything like trouble in the city. The in- s itution is not perfect oh uu but with some amendments it will ontinue to lessen drundardness in this country. We favor itasi a police measure. If there were, the possibility of getting estab lished prohibition in this country we would strive for the over throw of the dispensary. Itisa step towards p roh i bi tio n by I h e elimination of itics and the the traffic from po! elimination olthe profit feature from the dealer. There are yet many towns in j this State which are cursed with the ojn door saloon. If you can get prohibition go to work for it at once. If there is no possible chance for it go to work now to get a dispensary established by tbe next Legislature We would be glad that the people of North Carolina could have a period of experience withoat the terrible curse ef tbe open saloon.
