The iogical progression of such a Htate of affair would be 4be further coticentratioij of power in the executive head. ( The tendency, .bow ever, was in the direction of feactioti from hat conditionwitness the in creasing control of the senate and of the house . of Representatives by the Democrats-r-until the advent" of Mr. Cleveland', who, though elected" by the Democrats,' was imbued with tin- L democratic principle.' .Hfs .whippinjr, the unconditional repeal of the silver purchase law through House and Sen ate by using the executive patronage to seduce Democratic members from their party ' duty was th beginning of tsijxivxmpK'v.. it legislative branch, and has supplied a precedent which the Republicans who have succeeded him have eagerly availed themselves of. ; " Mr. Cleveland's example no doubt has had i potent effect upon. Mr. Roosevelt, whose views of the sancti ty of the Constitution" appear, to" be as lax as those of the notorious Con gressman ' from New .York who re garded it as of no consideration if it interfered with the demand? of good fellowship. This characteristic of the present executive is beginning to at tract serious attention. By a curious shifting olinteresta, the stalwart Re publicans of the. Senate have recently shown a disposition ' to rely upon many Democratic tenets in their op position to Mr, Roosevelt's views on the general subject of federal control. If the airing of the Constitution which this disposition is producing 'should result in a recurrence to fundamental principles that have long been in eclipse, good will result from the evil intentions (as in opposition to rail road regulation) which are the- imme diate cause of this profession of virtue, Th"fe Baltimore Snn used to have a very able and patriotic staff eorrespon-' dent at Washington (J. P. M.), who, though now retired from active life, ' occasionally sends that paper a letter when questions of large importance come to the front. In yesterday's is sue of the Sun we find the following interesting discussion of the subject alluded to above from J, P. M's pen: GROWTH OF EXECUTIVB POWER. "T he Senate "has become alert to the fact that executive power has been growing rapidly both in the States and in the national government dur ing the last few years, at first stealth ily and then more boldly encroaching upon the legislative authority. . For party reasons this has been tolerated as to Congress until the example at Washington has given a certain char acter of right to executive dictation in State Legislatures, and this has again reacted upon national affairs until public sentiment has become habituated to such interference, com- inir to expect it even to the extent of the national Executive attempting to influence State affairs, or the national government 'attempting to exercise- powers not granted by the Constitu tion. v - Every encroachment upon the in dependent powers of the State weak ens the characterof the aggregation of Stateiepresentatives 1 which cora- ppseCongresSjjiideridg it more sub-' lent tcfHhe national Executive, hose influence may be such as to advance "or injure the interest at home of each Senator or Representa tive, Men in Congress are becoming aroused to a realization of the stultifi cation to them, which results from the tendency toward centralization'. It is to the -system that opposition has been awakened. . President Roosevelt, while a smash er of political machines, is the very soul of a system,-' the tendency of which is "to obliterate the distinction between the reserved rights of the States and the granted powers of the nation, and to concentrate the domina ting, ppwer -of the national Govern ment in the Executive and the judic iary, which is of Executive appoint nienc. .-. - FORGETS RIGHT OF STATES. It is recognized that Mr. Roosevelt makes light of the distinction be tween what may be .done by State Legislatures and what may be done by Congress, and also between the legislative power to make laws and the executive duty to execute the laws. The Senate is disposed to be more exact in this matter than ft has been of late, and, , while the temper of the House is not so clearly defined, the disposition toward lpdependence is stronger than it has been since the Fiftieth Congress, the present Speak er himself being jealous of the. Con gressional prerogatives; - The attitude of Congress is defen sive rather than offensive. - There is some disposition to attack, but the general purpose in the Senate is to quietly resist rather than to attack the President, the resistance being applied to everything whi?h seems to be an encroachment upon Senatorial right. .s Senators deprecate the ten dency to cry out "Enemy" to every one who happens to hold an opinion on any subject which does not accord with the opinion of the frlsident, or who, agreeing with the President as td'the desirabilityof a reform, ques tions the right of the T-resident or of Oongress to ignore constitutional re strictions in its accomplish men t. l hev regard it an unworthy com mentary on public sentiment and a reflection; upon the President that they should be charged with hostility to the Administration if they refuse to sanction that encroachment of the Executive, noon the legislative aa thiirity, which : Washington, in his larewell address, said, ''Tends to con solidate the powers of all the depart ments in one, and tnus 10 create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism.';:- , r : " ' 1 ; It is felt by earnest men in Con gress that it would be belittling to the President and to Congress to re-U gard as a matter of personal hostility ' a difference of opinion as to funda mental principles of government.. , The matter may apprqach a point of personal feeling when a man is employed at' a large Federal salary without the sanction of legislation, as a press agent to discredit every opin ion contrary to that held by the Pan' ama Canal Commission,! or when a Senator or a member of the Honse is in danger of being suspected of being employed , by the railroads if he de parts in any way from the views of the President on the rate question, though his purpose may be only to keep within. the Constitution,- The whole broad question, however, rises above my particular measure or' per sonal friendliness or hostility toward President Roosevelt. . It is above Ter- sonalitiet and above party.' i . THE "NATIONAL HONOR SAVE." ivateuju New. ana uuecrver. . The failure of the Walsh banks in Chicago is another instance of the man who, under the guise of raising "the national honor" feathered his own nest. The McCalls, the Mortons, the McCurdys, the Walshes, and the rest of the clan of grafters have made merchandise of their pretended pa triotism. Not the least of the sins of Walsh was his betrayal of the Demo cratic party in 1896. He owed pecu liar obligations to the State? organize, tion about 1892, when the Republi cans having obtained control of all the leading political papers in Chicago, the Democratic leader established the Chicagohronicle as an exponent of tne cnen victorious Democracy, tnen in control of city, State and nation. Mr, Walsh came into control of the Chronicle because of his loud confes sion of devotion to Democracy. . And yet, when the critical moment came and Walsh owed it to the party to de fend it, he made his paper the most vicious vehicle of slander of the party he professed to serve of any paper in the United States. And later, when the South refused to be 6educed from Democracy, his so-called Democratic paper began a crusade to have its representation in Congress reduced and out Crumpackered Crumpacker in hostility -toward the South. That record of party recreance ought to have opened the eyes of the people to Walsh. Some people made a study of his methods and found that he was one of the conspicuous figures in Chicago, that stood for graft and eve ry evil of municipal government. Some months ago Lincoln Steffens, who has made a study of graft and corruption, wrote this of Walsh in McClure's Magazine : I "The Council was the heart of the corrupt (political) system of Chicago. In front of the Council were two financial rings. One of these was intact when I began my study in Illinois. This is the ring which centers in the Chicago .National Bank -John R. Walsh, pres ident. , Walsh is a Democrat. He is the owner of the Democratic party organ, the Chronicle, and the power behind the throne of the Democratic bosses. The power behind the throne of the Republican bosses is John M. Smyth, the head of one of Chicago's "big stores. ' ' Smyth (Republican) is a director of the bank of Walsh (Dem ocrat), and its former cashier, now vice-president, is Fred M. Blount, an active Republican politician. "The great graft of the Chicago Re publicans is public contracts, and they control the sources of contrasts State and county boards, and, through judges like Hanecy and the Governor,' park boards. Lonmer, a Republican boss, was a street-car driver, but in politics he became a contractor and a friend of Walsh. . Walsh is treasurer of the South Park Board; William Best is a member of the board and so is Lyman A. Walton, vice-president of (Walsh's) Equitable Trust Compa ny. Blount, vice-president of the Chicago National Bank, has been treasurer of the West Park Board And of the Sanitary Board. The latter is the board which has spent millions to reverse the Chicago river and make it the city's sewer nfn out instead of into the lake. This developed a water power which the board once proposed to sell to a private corpora tion. Thomas. M. Smyth is an ex- president of the board. "ContractSylrdm all tnese 'boards have gone sometimes to a Democratic firm, like Lyden & Drews (Lyden is a nephew of ex-Mayor Hopkins), more often to a Lorinier firm, '- Walsh's institutions bond public officials, and public officials deposit funds in his institutions. So do many of the pol iticians and sportittgpeople. Here, briefly outlined, is one great business ring which profits by, is satisfied with and gives financial aid and moral support to the debased political sys tem of the city, county and State." NO SMALL POX AT HOPE MILLS. Hope Mills, iJ. C, December 28, 1905. To the Fayetteville Observer : . To whom" it may concern: I feel confident there is not a, case of small pox in Hope Mills, and if there should be, it is in spch a light form that it will not do very, serious damage.

RAILWAY BATE LE6ISLATI0 4. Says the Raleigh News and Ob server;' ' - ':: , - , We are now told 'that Senator Elk- iua is "in line" and favors a govern ment rate regulation bill. It is en tirely probable . that within a few weeks all the railroad senators win lay down their opposition, and s"t'k to shape a bill that will sound fine enough but will not be worth the pa per on which it ia written.' Having j failed to defeat ahy legislation, the railroad benators will now seek to get a bill that will, give the promise to the ear and break U to $he peo- pie. Mr. h. P. Bacon, chairman of the Inter-State Law Convention, haj addreillqtteawto those 'desirinfe effective leg islation pointing put this danger and urging them to cominu- mcute tneir desires to tneir congress man: In his letter Mr. Bacorias: "Tbe advocates of the railway In terest in Congress urge that t inferr ing the power upon the interstate ummcrcc commission, s"p av mini8trativebdyCfated tyCbnJjrtiii; to prescribe maximum rates to be ob served when existing" rates are found, upon complaint and hearing, to be un just or unreasonable, is a full com pliance with the President's recom mendation in his recent annual mes sage, and some of the friends of the proposed legislation seem to be dis- ?osed to accede to this proposition, he President has in fact insisted as strenuously upon the prevention of discrimination in every form as upon the prevention of the continuance of excessive rates. It will readily be seen that the establishing of maximum rates provides no remedy for discrim ination produced by means of rates that are unjustly discriminatory in their effect as between different local ities or sections or different commodi ties; the only remedy for which lies in Establishing a just relation in the rates ' involved, or. in other -vords. a just differential to be maintained in - their relation to each other, with due regard to the conditions and circum stances affecting the traffic." The President's desire to secure "party-harmony" in support of the measure is relied upon by the rail road lobby, in and out of the Senate Chamber to enable them to emascu late the bill. The Elkins and Cassatt crowd will hug the bill to death if they are permitted, if they cannot kill it. The Presidenj should fear noth ing so much as their support of any measure. It will be sure, evidence that they think it is impotent to fur nish relief. There is not only danger in the di rection mentioned by our contempo rary, but the advocates of a genuine railway regulation bill should see to. it that the measure supported by them contains a provision that an equal rate per ton pet mile be established on aU interstate traffic. ' The power to fix rates on any other basis is against the natural law and partakes essentially of the protective System, which favors special localities and special interests. A law which is not in accord with the natural law indicated would continue the worst feature in the present system the power to kill or make alive, not only individuals but communities. MOVEMENT OF TROOPS TO MANILA. Ia Another Chinese Uprising Im peadlBB? Our county-man, Captain Alexan der E. Williams, Quartermaster of the Second Infantry, U. S. A., sends us the following clipping, apparently from a Colorado paper : Sudden and unexpected orders from the War Department to the Depart ment of the Colorado, instructing the Second Infantry, now stationed at Fort Logan, to prepare to leave for San Francisco immediately, has start ed speculation as to whether the Gov ernment expects to become embroiled with China. Those who inA$ie to this belief see in this sudden move ment the beginning of a mobilization of troops and fleet at Manila, only a few days from the Chinese coast, ready to protect its legations from another Boxer "uprising, or even to oppose the Chinese government if necessary. The order from the War Department states that the Second regiment will embark for the Philippines on the first transport, which will leave February i, 1906. The official order further states that all men with less than twenty-seven months to serve who wish to go to the Philippines will have to be discharged and may re-enlist before starting. This means that the War Department contemplates a campaign which will last at least three years. The soldiers who do not wish to go, if they have less than twenty-seven months left to serve, will be transferred to the regi ment which takes the place of the outgoing Second Infantry. The sup position is that two companies of the Eleventh Infantry" will be brought down" from Fort Russell, in Wyoming, to temporarily take the place of the Second regiment at Fort Logan. Some of the officers see in. this. move a determination on the part of the Government to masa troops with all possible speed in Manila, as a pro tection in case of an outbreak against Americans in China. With the Am erican troops mobilized in Manila, an army can be ready to cross over to Hong Kong or Shanghai in less than fifty-six hours. The Second Infantry returned from the Philippines three years ago, after three years of active service in the islands. ' They were first stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, neirf Cheyenne, Wyo.i and removed to Fort Logan. It has been stationed at the Denver In Mad Chase. ' Millions rush in mad chase after health from one- extreme of faddism to another, when, if they would only eafood food,! and keep their bowels regular with Dr. King's New life Pills, their troubles would all pass away.

Its rec ord in the Philippines on its former term of duty was a good one, and it succeeded in pacifying, and subjugat ing the smaller islands in which it was stationed. . The regiment -will report at San Francisco Feb. 1, and will leave Col orado about Jan. 20, 1906,: The orders for thia move came yes terday like a thunderbolt out of a clear Sky, as, figure it as they would, the members of this organization did not think that their turn for active for eign duty ' would come ' for two or three years. .

L. train at Parkton. This train seemed to be crowded to its capacity with home goers, many from Buie's . Creek Academy and other points. "' .The train continued crowded 01) by Florence; Charleston, Savannah and ' tdJesSuf ."Vherr-thlrw-meTr-changed to the Southern R. R, for H.ailehurst, Ga. On the A. C. L train ladies were forced into the smo ker to find seats, and men forced to stand up. The Southern cars from Jessup were-' less crowded and more comfortable. ' Reaching Hazlehurst about 10:30 o'clock, I met first my brother-in-law, Mr. A. J. Brannon, with his boys, my nephews. They then conducted me to the new home of my father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. B, -fiurnsr formerly of St, Paul's, later OJT St. Mary's, Ga., but .now of Haflehurst, Ga. Of course every boy, even at 26, enjoys spending Christmas with mother, and father and other loved ones. I shall now try to describe the country where Ha zlehurst is located. It is located 46 miles north of Jessup, on the South ern Railway. It is also the junction of the Braxton R. R., which will soon be -extended on to Savannah. . The land is comparatively level, some parts being covered with small rocks known as "iron float." The land is very productive, both "Sea Island" and short staple cotton being grown. The land will produce a bale to the acre with but little fertilizing. Corn, potatoes, ribbon cane (of which fine Georgia syrup is made) grow in abun dance. The town of Hazlehurst has a pop ulation of 1,500 with a splendid coun try backing. They have a bank, a nice school and three churches Meth odist, Presbyterian and Baptist, It is in the new county of Jeff. Davis, which was taken from Applin and Coffee counties. They, in the near future, will have a new court house, also an other bank is talked of.- Mr. J. A. Cromartie, formerly of Bladen county, N. C, is mayor. The town is strictly prohibition, and the pure air of chris tian .brotherhood may be breathed there. The pine and oak are the principal growth, with scrub palmetto in abun dance in many places. The turpen tine distilleries are yet to be seen. There are hundreds of acres of good land, that could be bought and con veyed into farms of great value. My advice to all young men who expect to farm is to seek land like this where one acre will make as much as two in the poor soils of North Caroli na. This country is healthy, and has a comparatively mild climate. After spending a few days partak ing of those dainties prepared by a good mother, on the evening of the 27th I boarded the south-bound Sou. train again for Jessup. Reaching there, I went to Wayne Ho tel, which is most efficiently managed by Mrs. Leslie Thornerly, whose mai den name was Miss Leslie Tolar. She will be remembered by relatives in upper Bladen and frierifls around old St. Paul's. Leaving Jessup on Thursday morn ing at 12:05 a. m., we sped on to Sa vannah, and thence, by Charleston, on to Parkton at 1:45 p. m. Trusting this article may be of in terest to the readers of the Ouserver, and wishing it much success in 1906, I subscribe my name for this time, R. S. Bl'RNS. Robesonian please copy. IS IT A NATION OF TOADIES OR FOOLST Raleigh News and Observer. Some boss toady has come to the from with a suggestion that upon the marriage of Miss Alice Roosevelt to Mr. Longworth, the American people arrange by States to give her a mag nificent present to be purchased by small contributions from all the peo ple, nobody giving more than ten cents. The originator of this scheme estimates that the present purchased in that manner would aggregate in cost $800,000 and that it would be a splendid token of national interest in the event. This idea, was doubtless obtained from the old custom of tax ing the people to provide a fortune for the King's daughter when she was married, and wasa tax long recognized as rightfully imposed. But we have moved far from that day and spirit; and the suggestion to the American people in the twentieth century reads like a page taken from the history of Furious Fighting. "For seven years," writes Geo. W. Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., "I had a bitter battle with chronic stomach and liver trouble, but at last I won, and cured my disease, by the use of Elec tric Bitters. I unhesitatingly recom mend them to all, and don't iutend in the future to be without them in the house. They are certainly a won derful medicinej to have cured such a bad case as mine.

V ' It'is to be regretted that the fools and toadies cannot let Mr. Roosevelt's daughter marry like the daughter of Mr., John Smith, of Khamkatte. In Rhamkatte the personal friends of the bride and the neighbors took a natu ral interest in her marriage, and will send suitable . presents, and all the folks who cat) get in the little church will be there to seetheceremonv. Let the friends-and neighbors of Misa Roosevelt do likewise and let the bal ance of the American people wish her much happiness. But that's enough. The lucky man is worth sixteen mil lion dollars, Miss Roosevelt's father is a rich man, and the notion of a popular subscription for a national present would be as distasteful to them aa it would be disgusting with lotlcs trf common-sense This suggestion and the newer court custom at Washington prompts the question: Are we coming to be a na tion of toadies and fools ?

While this has "been the case with many, doubtless many others have been made sad by the curse of strong drink.

I greatly enjoyed Dr. Hall's Christ mas suggestions in, last Friday's pa per. Girls, if you have not read this piece, please read it and meditate up on the last clause, and, if you have, during the Christmas time, offered this beverage of hell to any young man, beg God to forgive you, and do so no more. I believe that the girls and mothers can banish this evil from our fair land if they would 'im prove their opportunities the moth ers by teaching temperance in the home by precept, and the young la dies by pledging themselves no' associate with uram-dnnkers or drunkards. But, alas ! instead of that, too many take this beverage themselves, and give it to their chil dren. I also enjoyed Rev. D. H. Tuttle's "Meditations." Truly we ought to let Christ be in our thoughts, and the great theme of our conversations. If, instead of having dances and so ciables, we would gather around our firesides and sing and talk about Jesus, how much better it would be; but, instead ot this, there are children gi owing up around us that don't even know why we celebrate Christ mas, Parents, if you have never told your children the story of Jesus, don't let another day pass without gather ing them around you and telling tlrem ; tell them of his wondrous love, and tell them the best you can why we celebrate Christmas.

Mr. Editor: .: The whole human race, so far as we can see, are on the double quick step,' trying to get everything possible out of these Christmas days. Some of it is for the best, but most of it" is bad. We have heard of several knockdowns and some dragouts. The serpent of the still is winding in' and out and roundabout. We are keeping quiet 88-possiblewhilethetonrrls raging there will be a calm many of them will be counting the cost of their folly, and they will resolve to do better in the future; bat Christmas will come again and then " , , t t, "As the music ebbs and flows 4IcGw gvt urjJr 1' 98 the floor,; We notice "Lex's'-comment on the stringency of the school laws, also his reference to "Sal's" scatter gun. "Lex" is a good boy nothing short about hfm or,ly he wants to be older, then he will understand that to kill clean it is absolutely necessary to use a scatter gun unless the game is bunched; and what we were shooting at on that occasion is as wide at this planet and may extend to the moon and Mars, and that star whose orbit circles the rim of our system. Per haps some Edison or Marconi will solve the problem, as to whether sig nals can be conducted across the trackless deserts that lie between hab itable spheres. We would like to please the world both with our tongue and pen, but we have a few scruples of conscience left that must be first satisfied, and we wouldnot exchange that satisfaction for all the world could give. We are not a "usurer in any sense, nor could we be after read ing the 15th Psalm. Tom Watson, tells us that Thos. Jefferson denied the doctrine of The Trinity because it was contrary to the rules of mathe matics, but we submit that the au thor of this universe can work inde pendently of such rules, and thesooner the world finds this out the sooner we will have peace on earth and good will to mankind.
