Mistake of the Strikers The calling out of troops in the coal mining district marks the beginning of the end of the strik. there. By result lng to violence th- miners have proba bly thrown a;iy their chance of suc cess, and have in a large measure sac rificed their right to iubli'- sympathy. It shows, to begin with, that they feel themselves beaten. Then the pres ence of the troops will add to this feel ing by encouraging timid miners or thosi- who do not fully endorse the Etrik- to resume work. Vhi! it Is difficult to place responsi bility for the trouble that resulted in culling out of the troops, still it is cer tain that once it began the miners took a very active part in the trouble and are now keeping it up. All this, they ought to know, will in the public mind oper ate to their hurt. Whatever may have been the grievances of the men. they have placed themselves completely In the wrong by this action. President Mitchell asks for a suspension of judg ment and expresses what no doubt is perfectly sincere regret at the occur rences of Wednesday night. "I have re peatedly warned the miners,' he says, "that the person who violated the Jaw was the worst enemy the strikers could have, and I have directed our lo cal officers and committees to be con stantly on the alert for any breach of the peace." Had this advice been followed the strike situation today would be much less gloomy for the miners. The State Fair and the Fakirs The management of the next State Fair propose to make ifa moral show." At a recent meeting of the executive committee a resolution was passed to the effect that "no gambling devices. Il legal games of chance or immoral exhi bitions will be allowed on the grounds" and the following are expressly exclud ed: "Plate Boards, Spindles. Pickouts. Fish I'onds, Card Games. Cloth Pin (lames, Slot Machines, Book-Making, Hoik. hee-coo hee or Oriental dancing." within or without booths or tents. All very well, no doubt, and yet in this resolution we see isions of slim gate receipts and mayhaps a shortage in the cash box when it comes to pay ing the expenses of the next "greatest Fair the State has ever seen." It may be an unpleasant truth, but a truth nevertheless, that the American people love to be humbugged. And most of the things put on the black-list of the next State Fair are more humbug than anything else. No sensible man with any experience of life expects to M't the better of a plate-board, spin dle, pickout or fish-pond fakir; and hence nobody spends any great amount of money with him, but many of the people who visit the Fair grounds like to "take a whirl" just "for the fun of the thing." Card games were never car ried on to any considerable extent on the grounds, while the "cloth pin games" and "slot machines" are sources of fun rather than of serious financial loss to the participant. As for "book-making." it may be safely stated that without it such performances in horse-racing as are usually witnessed at our State Fairs would afford little of in terest or amusement. The average American has become used to these -things and he demands them. He feels that he knows how to protect himself from them, and that if he doesn't why he'll have to pay for his ignorance: that's all. He rather resents than appreciates any self-appointed guardianship in his behalf. He goes to the fairs largely for this purpose, put ting aside a certain sum of money to be spent on such fakes and humbugs as the Midway affords. The more of them he finds, and the cleverer they are the better he likes it. As a rule he cares lit tle for the exhibits. They represent in his mind the fat hog. the biggest pump kin and the longest ear of corn and he lets its go at that. The Fair to him is the Midway. Any curtailment of the Midway means to him deterioration of the Fair. Of course all indecent shows like the "Hooehe-cooi he dance" as commonly presented on such occasions ought to be suppressed, and a strict supervision exercised over the other Midway fakirs, and the people ought to be warned that they are playing a losing game when they go up against them, but we doubt the advisability, from a business stand point, of trying to turn the State Fair into a Sunday school picnic occasion. Except for a drouth in some of the eastern counties. North Carolina crop news is encouraging. Though the wheat crop was proved by threshing to be even more of a failure than predicted, the corn crop promises to make up the grain shortage. The tobacco now being harvested is very fine in quality and satisfactory in quantity. Cotton is do ing well and a large yield pet acre is predicted. Fruit in some sections is poor, but on the whole the crop will be an average one. Indications are alto gether promising for another year of prosperity for North Carolina farmers. The Alabama Republicans have vir tually declared that they considered the negro question in that state settled by their Constitutional Amendment. Will the North Carolina Republicans have the boldness to do likewise when they meet in convention at Greensboro? Wvetern Republicans are speaking out in meetin on the tariff question aa If they meant It. " " z Tariff Revision in the West There can be no mistaking the fact tlat the voice of the West is for tariff revision. Nearly every Republican convention held in that section of the country so far has adopted some sort of plank de manding tariff reform. The most sig nificant utterance on the subject, how ever, is that from the Iowa convention, whose tariff plank reads more like a Democratic than a Republican declara tion. It follows: "We favor any modification of the tariff schedules that may be required to prevent their affording shelter to monopoly. We favor such changes in the tariff as from time to time may become advisable through the progress of our industries and their changing relations to the commerce of the w orld." This might in other campaigns have meant little or nothing, but this year it is full of significance, for the reason that the question is a live and a prac tical one and the inteir ion of the con vention was that the ek en Republican congressmen who will be elected in Iowa this fall will go to Washington pledged to vote for tariff reform- upon the lines laid down in this plaiform. In the neighboring state of Illinois Republican sentiment is much to the same effect. Advices from Washington report that Senator Cullom after a tour throgh Illinois, taking stock of the political situation there, finds that the voters of that state are strongly in fa vor of the Cuban policy of President Roosevelt and, like those of several other Western states, are calling for a revision of the tariff. Senator Cullom said : "I see the Republican state convention f Iowa today spoke out plainly on this Meet, and I believe that expression j j bout voices the sentiment of the Republican masses throughout the West. 1 know it is the way the Re publicans of my ttate feel, and I am convinced that the sooner we take this matter up and dispose of it the better it will be for the country and the par ty." It is evident that if the ! . .ocrats make a straightforward fight this year for tariff reform that they can gain many members of Congress and stand i good chance of carrying the election in VMH. The Western Republicans are in earnest in their fight for a lower tariff schedule and in their belief that the tariff is the mother of trusts, and though many who ate of this opinion will stiek to their party rather than go to the Democracy to secure it, out of so large a number dissatisfied it is reason ably certain that a considerable num ber will come into the Democratic auks, where they can fight for the ao i implishment of their purpose. Is Insanity Communicable? The recent suicide of Dr. Eugene Crissom. and the insanity at various times of other celebrated neurologists, suggest the inquiry as to whether mental ailments are communicable. Though it is not of record that the germ of madness has ever been segre- trom the bacteriological side, there are many things that seem to support the theory. To begin with, there is the fact, as in the case of lr. Grissom. that dis ordered mentality is frequently the price that doctors and nurses in asy lums pay for their devotion to the un fortunates committed to their charge. riil t.l'i'ii tlioce w-Vio eGeOT-c rho cnuni- t cion of actual irresponsibility after be ing engaged for many years in constant observation of and ministration to the intellectually unsound. have often amus ed their colleagues by the development of weird psychological theories. Again it is doubtful if there is to be found, anywhere, a retreat sheltering a considerable number of patients which does not count among them some who entered as nurses, attendants or physl 1 ians. of course these things may not prove the theory suggested, but they are at I-ast interesting in that connection. I'nfortunately there seem to oe no sta tistics on the subject available. But whether the theory be true or not, this certainly is: that one is likely to feel m-rxous irritation from protracted as sociation with and responsibility for a person tendered fretful and querulous by illness. Perhaps the one who most fully comprehends this is the patient mother whose endurance has been worn threadbare by the ill-natured vagaries and incalculable whims of a sick child. Such will readily recall the resultant disturbance of their own mental poise from constant watchfulness for the un foreseeable. It is easy to believe that the process, continued through a series of years, would produce, if not perma nent and serious derangement, at least .111 irritability closely paralleling that of the cause of the trouble. How to avoid such melancholy results without sorely neglecting the most un fortunate .lass of mortals is a serious problem, but experience of temporary and incidental conditions comparable to tne daily environment of those who un dertake the care of the insane suggests frequent and not too brief vacation for the officers and employes of mad houses as the most potent preventive of ci mmunicated mania. Southern Mill Labor trom the Louisville ( ourier-Jou; ; nai. it hern I view whole But the showing of the sot mills is not as ba 1 as a superfici; might indicate. In li0 in the I'nited States n.n fjrm - ' 4.".1 per cent A the laborers in cotton mills, whilj in the south they formed but 41. t" p- r cent, against 4.vi per cent in New England. Lut the iroportion of men employed the south was a trifle larger than in the Middle states, where it was 41. Ti, and considerable larger than in the Western states, where it was only 31.4. In the matter of child labor the south showed 25 per cent, as compared with 6.7 in New England, 12.4 in the Middle states. 9 in the western and 13.4 in the whole country. So far the south is con siderably behind the remainder of the country. But let us look at the number of women employed. Here the South ern states show a percentage of 33.4 of women, as compared with 45.1 i,c New England. 46.1 in the Middle states, 56.6 in the Western states and 41.5 in the whole country. In other word.', the south shows the smallest propor tion of women and, with the exception of New England only, the largest pro portion of men of all the sections. There is room for improvement in Ihe south and doubtless the proportion of child labor will diminish there. But the objections to the employment of women in factories are almost as great as to the employment of children, and in this respect the south leads every other section. Has Completed the Circutt From the Sanford Express. It is said that the Republicans will probably nominate H. F. Seaweli. esq., of Carthage, for the State senate. Mr. Seaweli was first a Democrat, then a Populist, and now a Republican. There is no other party for him to join unless he becomes a Prohibitionist. - After all.

Fifty-second Ohio infantry. He lived; i In Tennessee until his death in lw. Adolph began his newspaper experl ; eine in lsfi!. at the age of 11 years as! devil on "Parson mow congress man) Brow nlow 's newspaper at Knox-j ville, Tenn. In nine vears he rose through all stages of the profession from devil" to publisher. He went to Chattanooga. Tenn.. ami was utility man on the Chattanooga Daily Dis- patch in IS . 7. His genius first plainly showed itself when he undertook h first publication venture. II - published a city directory of Chattanooga, setting the type and printing it himself. He realized enough from the enterprise to purchase an interest -in the Chattanoo ga Times, the figures for a half interest are said to have been $1500. The paper felt his influence from the beginning. In a short time he purchased the othet half interest for $7,o()0. In 1SS he sent out the first special news train tun in Tennessee and two wars ever later me v nauanooga limes was roused in a building that cost $200,000. In 1896 Mr. Ochs purchased a con trolling interest in the New York Times. In 1H01 he purchased the Phil adelphia Times, and two weeks ago he bought the Philadelphia Public Ledger. For each one of them he paid millions. Commenting upon his life and career, the Fail tor and Publisher of New York savs : From th" ; tandpoint of up-to-date AmeWcani-SM ll.e career of Adolph OchS, is magnificent.

Right or wrone. the world I win say success is the niMsiiro .,f merit," and since Adolph Ochs has purchased three great newspapers, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Times and the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the world grants him unstinted merit. Yet the romance of his career lies with those years beginning with the printer's "devil" at Knoxville and ending with the purchase of th.-. i Chattanooga Times. It is the pathos and the victories of those nine years that Mr. Ochs deserves the credit of merit for." The Shakespeare Cliff From the Providence Journal No wonder that the corporation of the English town of Dover resents the proposal to level the famous Shakes peare Cliff. This is not only a domi nant feature of that part of the o . st it is 300 feet high but it has as ia tions in which all English-sneaking people are interested. It was given its present name because of the impressivX description in "King Lear." "How fearful And dizzy 'tis, to cast one's eves o low : The crows and choughs that wing the midway air Show scarce so gross as beetles half way down Hangs one that gathers samphire . . . . .... The murmuring surge. That on the unnumber'd idle pebbles chafes. Cannot be heard so high." It may be sentiment to cherish the Shakespeare Cliff, but the desire of the military authorities to have a fr-r range for their guns is hardly :i suffi cient reason for a scandalous piece of vandalism. An Uncertain Proposition From the Hendersonville Hustler. The Republicans In Buncombe coun ty, exclusive of sore-heads, are kicking hard against Luther's combination. They believe somewhat in straight goods and honest methods and they do not know Just where Luther and his followers may be in November. They remember Luther's rapid changes of position in the summer of 1900. They know of no special reason why the same disease might not affect the changeable position again this year. There is plenty of time for Luther to be "agin 'em" yet before November, and should such a change come about he might tell tales on em. Luther re minds one of the Irishman's flea. When you get your finger on him he is not there. Even the scratch team is trying satisfy the itch for fame. to A Ride at Night (This splendid poem was published eight years ago in the Pacific, a San Francisco Congregationalist paper. It should have made its author famous, but was modestly published anony mously. Ed. Post.)

Nor ioitred, stepping free and high, As in the marble pomp of some old triumph. When we had reached the house I sat an hour, ' Waiting for moonrise, watching her long curls With the babe grasping for them, and ; her glee As she became a child to meet his play. At last I left her standing in the porch, (The lighted candle touching her with light Like a Madonna) and set on my way ; Homeward, alone: into the solemn night, Into the desolate splendor, where the moon Hose slowly, queenlike, sorrowful. Be low ; The silent land lay dim, yet visible '. In the white ghost-like glimmer like a , dream, Or a dim memory, of some splendid j day; Or like a life from which the joy has gone, Leaving it still and patient, sad and fair. My path led through the wide and barren fields No sound, no moving thing save the noise The hoofs made, and my shadow fol lowing on Joined to the horse's shadow, like the ghost ' of a Greek Centaur guarding me along, , The moon, not high enough to quench the stars, Broke like a surf of silver on the clouds White, motionless clouds, like soft and snowy wings Which the great earth spreads, sailing round the sun. The hollow vault above grew vast, a depth Unfathomable, only its vestibule Lit glimmeringly with stars, and 1 A cnnlr nnn'.iti ar,,1 imnntiohlD Lifting a nebulous atmosphere of thought From world to world, from creature up to God.

How beautiful: Calmly the moon looked on Enchantress, that with winds like waving hands, And fixed mesmeric gaze, has woven a spell, And watches its completion. In the vale The village seemed, with its white cot tages, A fold, with white flocks clusterinj while the trees Stood motionless like shepards watch ing them. A town of dreamers, each has gone to sleep Trusting in some self-power his weapon near. Or his well-fastened doors, or fearless strength Blind dreamers! Never thinking how thev lie Safe folded in the Father-arms of Ood. At home I stood, leaning across the neck Of the dumb animal that loved mv arm (Poor creatures! all the toil and load of life, And not for them the starlight and its nopes.) It seemed impossible to go to rest. To shut sleep's dark doors on the ting ling brain. And leave that universe of mystery With eager, burning fingers beckoning Our drowsy souls, and none to watch or aspire. With awed and solemn heart I turned away, Lingering but to watch where in the west A silent meteor slowly tell afar. As though, pacing the garden-walks of Heaven, Some musing angel had let fall a flower. The First Man Killed From the Nashville (Tenn.) News. The Richmond Dispatch says that a suitable monument Is to be erected at Fairfax Courthouse, Va., to commemo rate the death on June 1, 1861, of Capt. Marr, "the first soldier killed in the Civil war." But was not Henry Wyatt of Edgecombe county, N. C, the first Confederate killed In a regular en gagement? That took place at Big Bethel, in eastern Virginia, on June 10, 1861, where D. H. "Hill defeated B. F. Butler. RICH MEN IK THE UMITKO STATES SENATE A writer in the New York Sun. who claims to know what he Is talking about, says that the popular Impression as to the wealth of United States Sen ators Is greatly exaggerated. He can name but a dozen members of the Sen ate who are millionaires or better, and they and their approximate possessions are given as follows: William A. Clark. Montana Thomas Kearns, Utah .. .. . 25, 000,000 .. 10,000,000 . . 4,000,000 . . 4,000,000 . . 5,000,000 5,000,000 . . 3,000,000 John Kean. New Jersey .. E. B.

Hanna, Ohio .. .. Chauncey M. Depew, New York Euge e Hale, Maine 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 1,000,000 If the popular impression were con sulted this list would be considerably extended. It would include Lodge of Massachusetts, Jones and Stewart of Nevada (bonanza kings), Piatt of New York, Fairbanks of Indiana and a number of others men not necessarily quite worth a million dollars or more, but an amount approaching that sum. But this authority rates Stewart and Jones not among those who are com fortably situated or have considerable incomes from accumulated property, but as among the poorest senators, in the class which includes the senior senator from Massachusetts.

Of the senators sworn in March 4 last only three are rated as millionaires, and it is contended that this fact reveals no tendency to fill the senate with rich men. ODDS AND ENDS New York is to have, on lower Broadway, the largest office hniMinv in the world, rising 20 stories and cov ering an acre. The uptown movement on Manhattan has not made real es tate near the Battery a drug in the market, for the land on which this big building is to stand is valued a' from four to five million dollars. The struc ture will not be as high as some others in New York, but it will have an un precedented floor area. Somebody has suggested that the earthquake in California was a shud dering of American soil at the thought of the landing of "Hell Roaring" Jake Smith upon it. Winston also, we gather from the Journal, will this year have "the most I successful iair in an respects mat nas ever been held there." This is a rank infringement on the Raleigh fair's copyright. It's annual events have been "the best and most successful ever held" from the time when the memory of man runneth not to the con trary. A Tennessee exchange christens Ad miral Crowninshield, who recently ran the battleship Illinois aground, as Ad miral ' Stick-in-the-Mud." The name. it strikes us is appropriate in many ways, for Crowininshield is about the poorest excuse we've ever had for an admiral and that's giving him a wide limit. The congressional race in this dis trict has not got around to the three- quarters post. Gudger appears to be leading by a neck, but it's entirely too soon to predict who'll come under the wire first in the convention at Hender sonville next Thursday. It is now up to Judge Dunne of the Circuit court in Chicago to say what the real meaning of the word "lobster" is, and whether its application by one citizen to another is actionable in dam ages. "You're a lobster," said Joseph Sie- ben, addressing G. H. Thiel of the Thiel detective agency. And now Mr. Thiel has sued Mr. Sieben for $25,000 damages, averring that it is worth that comfort able fortune to be called such a terrible name. W7ebster's distionary gives this defi nition: Lobster a fan-tailed, stalk-eyed, decapod crustacean, with large claws one of the scavengers of the sea. And the slang dictionary defines it as follows: Lobster a fink, a cheap skate, a dub, a slob, a has-been, a never-waser. a man with cold feet, a piker, one who butts in, a lunkhead, a ninnyhammer. a nincompoop. The Washington Post thinks the col- orrd preacher who predicted a tidal wave for Atlantic City made the mis take of using an early date. It didn't give him sufficient time to take up his collections.
