WITH CON
SUA IV.
Washicgton, D C, April 1.
It is refreshing to turn aside from
men and things to one man, at least,
from North Carolina who. does not
seem to fear to express his Opinion.
I refer to Congressman f Shaw.
I was talking to him last night. I
asked him if he would oppose local
county alliances between Democrats
and Populists.
"That depends," said Mr. Shaw,
"on circumstances. Should the Dem
oorats agree to support a Populist for
a local office, I would not object,
provided he would agree to join the
Democrats in an endeavor to establish
and maintain a white man's govern
ment in North Carolina, and, also, to
aid the democrats in an effort to elect
a free silver Democrat for President.
"The people of the country want
free coinage a msjority of the voters
of the whole coun'ry earnestly desire
it. If the Populist party had never
been organised, without doubt the
next President would be a Democrat.
Nearly every Populist was formerly a
Democrat, and if they had not left us,
we would have now absolu.e control
of the party organization. The nom
ioee of the Chicago convention will be
a decided free silver man nominated
on a silver platform. It is highly
probable that the nominee will be a
Southern man. Morgan is the ablest
and most available man. If the issue
is to be made on the silver question.
the section from which the candidate
comes will amount to nothing. The
people want a man of ability. Mor
gan is the ablest lawyer in the coun
try, and if elected President would
inaugurate a foreign policy superior
to any we have ever had.
I "The most important of all things
to the people of North Carolina and to
the South is good State and county
government. This will be accom
plished, the Democracy strengthened
and the white people again united by
the nomination of a free silver South
ern man for President. Morgan and
Boies would be my ticket. The ma
jorityof the Populists were formerly
Democrats, and their natural inclina
tion would be to join in with their
former friends and associates. There
are very many of them I who would
embrace the opportunity to come back
t is unnatural for them to be es
tranged, and should they determine
to return, they will be reoeived and
nothing will be charged up against
them for having failed to vote the
Democratic ticket with Cleveland a
its head.
"As to the gold Democrats in Norh
Carolina, they are already all of them
thinking men, and when the party de
clares for silver, they will follow the
advice of Governor Campbell and sup
port the nominees of the party.
"Would I support a gold man for
President?
"While I don't think that such an
affliction will befall the party, yet 1
could not stand idly by and see a gold
Republican eleoted President. While
the silver question will be the most
important of all subjects in the next
campaign, yet there are others of vital
importance, and I should muoh rath
er see a gold Democrat eleoted who is
a low tariff man, and who favors an
income tax, to a gold Republican,
who is a high tariff man, and who is
opposed to an income tax. I should
have to decide between two evils, azd
should choose the lesser of the two,
and take the low tariff man who fa-
vors an income tax.
"Income taxation will come sooner
or later, if the Demooratio party will
have control of the Government for a
short while."
What North Carolina Jneedi at
this moment is a man who is not
afraid of his shadow. W. E. Chris
tian in News & Observer.
During the three months ending
March 31st there were more business
failures in the United States than ever
before for a like period. There were
700 more than for the same period in
1895. With these facta some people
say there is money a plenty and are
advocating the gold standard.
Thi experiments of a scientist prove
that under certain conditions some
insects will commit suicide. A wap

the paper but could not, lay' down on
its back and thrust its sting into its
body three times and died. This ex
periment was tried with three wasps
and they all committed suioide by

THE TOBACCO EDITION
j
Of the News and Observer of last
Sftn day is one of the greatest and
' handsomest feats of North Carolina
journalism. The edition is mammoth
in size, containing 40 pages descrip
tive of the rise and growth1 of the to
baoco industry in the State from 1796
to the present year. Eaeb: page has
handsome photographs of the men, and
their establishments, who have made
this great industry such a great factor
in our state
This mammoth edition if due to
the untiring energy of its editor, Mr.
Josephus Daniels, who ranks as one of
the ablest men of the state, and to the
facile pen of Mr. F. B. Arendell, cor
respondent and representative of the
News and Observer, who has been
canvassing the state for several months
to obtain the information contained in
this edition. As to the extent of the
i
tobacoo industry we clip the following
from its columns :
North Carolina cultivated and cured
and sold in 1895, 82.000,000 pounds
of the best, richest and sweetest leaf
tobacco grown in the world. It sold
at an average of eight oents per pound,
bringing into the pockets of our plan
ters $6,560,000.
Our manufacturers have made into
smoking and plug tobacoo, cigarettes,
oigars, &c, 35,000,000 pounds of this
weed, whioh has sold at an average of
30 eta., per pound, making $7,000,
000 a grand total of $13,560,000
from our tobacoo industry, in one year.
We have in operation 250 manufac
turing establishments, 76 warehouses,
and 229 leaf factories, stemeries and
prize houses all together
representing
little more
hey employ
a money investment of a
than $26,000,000, and
in their daily operations 32,000 people.
The industry covers the State, and
its effects are felt from

THE ITALIAN DANGER.
A Kudini Ministry has been called
to suoceed a Crispi Ministry in Italy
solely as the result of a defeat in the
Abysaian campaign. ' Yet it is hard
to see how the Abyssian situation
oan be improved by thej ohange.
To Amerioans it seems like a dis
regard of the homely warning of Lin
coln against "swaping j horses while
crossing a stream." Whatever hos
tility may have been felt towards
Crispi on domestic politics, there has
been no questioning the zeal and loy
alty with whioh the unfortunate war
in Africa has been pushed. If it has
been a failure the fault lies not in the
Ministry but in the army and in the
people. No new Ministry that can
come in now can remedy the grave
defects in the Italian military admin
istration. On the other hand, the successes
an J viotories of the past six months
cannot fail to have greatly strength
ened the Abyssinian side. They have
united the Abyesinians, have eon
verted tbem into veterans, have
taught them their power, vindicated
their strategy, andj have wholly
changed the relative positions of the
invaders and the natives. Abyssinia
is undoubtedly a muoh harder ooun
A . ! .
try to oooquer to-aay man it was six
months ago.' If Italy has crippled it
self and weakened its resources in the
campaign against the untried levies of
Menelek there is no room to hope for
better suooesi in the oomiog cam
paign. There is unfortunately too muoh
room for fear that both the financial
and political strength jof Italy as well
as its military resources may be frit
tered away and dissipated in an un
wise, unjust and unnecessary attempt
to join in the European polioy of land
grabbing in Africa. New York

Th premium on gold bars has been
raised by the United States treasury
from one-sixteenth of one per cent to
m m a a
three-sixteenths. This is made as a
precaution against unnecessary ex
ports of the yellow metal. Gold bars
are more profitable to export than gold
coin, as all money metals in foreign
countries pass by weight and not by
its faoe value. Gold ooins sometimes
lose considerably by abrasion.

said she. To whom the oonstable re
