That iu a ia tribute to Senator Orenui which we reprmte the other day from the Clevelaa Star. So (Baa has grown more thaa be ciaee he be came a Seaator four yean ago. Yet eraa Senator HcEaerv justly regards htm at already ta the Terr froot raak -4 the Senate. Besides hie acknow ledged ability and remarkable re eoarcefumese, which he employs with wmal akill ia hi State's be naif, he is such a clean man all throosh and such a gentleman' He has brought great honor to his ' State, and we imagine that a grateful eoustitaescy will see to it that he shall long continue to adorn the place aow filled by him. DOES PARKER TAKE SIDES WITH PRITCHARD? According to the Charlotte Obser ver, Judge Parker (lately the CTeve land candidate for President oa the Democratic ticket and unfortunate!! the nominee of the party) has done the Democracy in North Carolina all the harm he could. That portion o( his Bar Association speech which we had occasion to refer to as manifestly bad law directly at issue with the Constitution, as interpreted by Judge Clark and all- true Democrats as well as by ante-bellum Kent of Federalist leaning is q noted by the Charlotte paper as follows: 1 bare in mind aa action in which application was made for injunction bat, before granting it, counsel representing the state, as well as those representing the piaintiff, were heard fully. The Jod?e wrote his opinion and then granted an injunc tion npoa conditions that woo Id safe guard to the last penny everT person Interested. The right to grant an in junction under sock circumstances ran not be denied, bat the propriety of , ranting, on an ex parte application, awi injunction which refuses effect to a statute can and should be questioned.- And this comment is made there on: "We cannot be mistaken In sap posing that this reference is to the in junction granted by Judge Pritchard against the enforcement of the new Norm Carolina passenger rate, tor the proceeding ia that case is here per fectly described. If we are correct fa the supposition, then this atteraace is aa anqnaSfled endorsement by Jndge Parker of Judge Pritchard and most carry great pleasure to the latter." HERE IS DEMOCRACYURE ENOUGH. Referring to the Republican effort to indace the Democracy to Dominate a Southern man for President, the Raleigh Newt and Observer, ia ha leading editorial, admirably says: Southern Candidate for President. World's Work wants a Soothers candidate for President, though it would doubtless rote against him. It says "he most speak the language of Tlldeu and Cleveland, and this must also be his own language" Who is the Southern man who "speaks the language of CWeland,"ready to issue bonds through farored bankers, divide hi party by delaying the aetttlement of the tariff question until Wall street's demands could be met and trying to destroy his party when it did not heed his undemocratic dicta tion? Then are plenty of Democrats who speak the language of Tildea, who always kept the faith, bat few who followed Cleveland, and not one who would hope to be nominated or win with the weight of the ex-prest dent and his late service to the cor rapt life fans ranee trust. - Judge Parker thought to conjttre with the name of Cleveland. He i particular to go oat of his way to orer-praiae Clereland ia hi speech to the editors, but never from first to but did ha opea bis month ia praise of those leaders who saved the party from the Clereland . wreck in 1894. And then Clereland wrote and spoke for Parker election and exerted his influence to secure his election. What -was hi influence worth T Otherwise. World's Work tells what the Southern candidate should be and do: "He must be national in his thought He moat hare no sectional self-eotv He most leave the war war that ended ' before he became of age. He must talk of some thing else beside the 'Negro Problem. He most hare a programme of interest and of justice to men alike ia Maine and Georgia, ia Mlnaesota and Oregon. He must not be 'afraid of hi shadow,' -war of Mr. Bryan, ear of the backward Southern political press." , Ia one particular World's Work ts right. When the man from the South la named, be "most hare a programme . of Interest and justice to men alike ia liaine and Georgia, ia Minnesota and ia Oregon." When that time comes and it will come you will hear no talk of "the Sooth ought to hare the noml satkro." bat he will be named because he, ha "a programme of interest and jostle alike," to New England, the South and the-Pad Be States. More than that: the Sooth will not seed to take the InltiatiTO ia presenting Its candi date. ' He win be recognized and hail ed and supported from the North and West because of hls policy sad hi leadership. t i t i i , The maa and the hoar win not meet o long aa we mast talk of the fact that "the South ia entitled to the can didate." That 1 to make him sec tional candidate, tanning because the South most be paid a debt The South doe not wish aay candidate named to pay it for the serrice that ha been doe to It devotion to principle. t GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION. Admirably says the puraajn un: f The Idea of declaring a law uncoa atltntlonal Is something new under the ma. Yet Judge Pritchard, President Roosevelt' appointee to the Federal beach, did it in the North Carolina 2 cent rate fare Injunction case.

THE .SOUTH' INTEREST IN FOR EST PLANTING. The Forestry Boreaa sends as the follow tag interesting article: A actable awakening of interest ia forest planting is becoming evident throughout the Southern State. Aa farmers learn that the growing of tim ber crops is practicable, they grade ally negia to realise that mack bud producing poor agricultural crops might better be devoted to trees. It is well known that tobacco grow ing and lack of artificial fmHlnttoa have exhausted many Southera farm aad left them practically worthies for agriculture. The growing of forest trees oa these worn-out lands win aot only bring higher returns than poor farm crops, bat will improva the soil aad restore it to iu former state of fertility. No detailed investigation of the possibilities of forest planting la this region have yet beea made, bat it Is probabie that a stady of this field win be began within a short time by the Forest Service of the C. S. Department of Agriculture. While the Forest Ser rice 1 glad to give aTJ the assistance possible to protective tree planters, recommendations for planting ia the Sooth must necessarily be general at who are interested ia tree plant ing, however, may obtain Tamable advice by writing the Forest Serrice for suggestions concerning the choice of species and methods. Applications for advice should contain as much de tailed informaiwo as possible concern ing the character of the soil, drainage, aad native species of trees, as wen as the purpose for which planting ia to be undertaken whether for the pro dactxia of fence posts or lumber, the prevention of soil erosion. THE GREAT INFLATION. Wilmiiigton Star. The words above are ased by the New York Joornal of Commerce to refer to the present financial stress and high price erase that is sweeping over the country. A Berlin banker of large international connections is cabled as expressing the opinion that "the situatioo ia Wall Street is looked upon as doe to the fact that the capi tal requirements of the United State have outgrowa the capacity of the country to create sew capital." The Journal of Commerce takes this no tice of the Berlin banker's view: "This, we take it, is aa echo of a like opinion which has recently found currency among the money theorists of this country. The vague and far fetched theory only adds confusion to the many misconceptions that are mystifying the financial situation. One may ask. Why advance vague aad aa demonstrable explanations when there is within reach a masa of anqocstiona ble fact scSdent to account for the phemonena without cavil or guessing? The main iHamlnaiory factor centres around the fact that, for the time be ing, the whole system of ft changeable values has become radically deranged. Everything purchasable ia the form of land, of labor and other serrice, of commodities aad mechanisms, of real estate aad other in vestments all these and other embodiments of value have suddenly risen ia money ralua tiuai between 2 and 3 pet- cent; and that, without any corresponding in crease in the intrinsic rain or atOity of the variooa properties, or aay aoarv- alent gain ia the purchasing ability of the consuming community. The Journal of Commerce ts quite right in attributing some of the trou ble to the "frenzied prices" that are a result of fictitious vaioe growing out of a protective tariff aad magnified by all this talk of "prosperity." The Berlin banker ia probably not very wrong either. If the gold standard does not furnish as enough capital to do business " without waiting for the action of any other nation," first thing we know Colonel William J. Bryan will come back at the whole shooting match with I told yon so." THE SUPREME COURT'S RECORD. Charlotte News. Now that the Southera Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line are awaiting. under the compromise arrangement with the Bute, the decision of the United States Supreme Caort as to the constitutionality of the 2 eeats North Carolina passenger rate law. It is a matter of interest to be told that that court haa four times decided par allel eases with this, aad that twice it reversed it owa findings. The Phil adelphia Record haa looked ap the his tory of sach appeal and Is authority for the statement The Record' research caught the eye of the literary Digest reviewer and be summarises the editorial as follows: "About thirty five years ago Wis consin enacted a law requiring foreign corporations to agree not to remove suits against them to the Federal courts. This the Supreme Court de clared unconstitutional, aad the state passed another law prohibiting civil license for foreign corporation, with forfeiture for removing civil ease to Federal courts- This waa upheld ia 18TC, in the ease of Doyle vs. Insur ance Company, oa the ground that, a the State haa the right to exclude soch company, the means by which die causes such exclusion, or the motive of her action, are not the subject of judicial Inquiry. Ia April, 18S7, how ever, the court declared a similar Iowa lav unconstitutional because its par- pose was to deprive foreign corpora tions of their constitotlonal right to go Into the Federal courts. Ia May, IK, the quest kn again came ap un der s law of Kentaeky, a insurance company being Involved, and the eoart again letersed itself, declaring the Stats' revocation of license legal oa the ground that 'a a State haa power to refuse permission to a foreign In surance company to do business at all within Hs confines, and a it haa pow er ta withdraw that permission when once given, without statin; any rea son for Its action, the fact that it may give what some may think a poor rea son or none for a valid act is Imma terial.' The Record think ft unlikely that the court will reverse itself again In the present railway ease, for there ha been no change ia th personnel of the court si nee the last decisioa." The Record, then, believes that the court will anstala the action of the State of North Carolina ia the 1 cent passenger rate It is a most ln terestlag resume aad opinion, dot do the old cases, referred to by tb Phil adelphia paper, stand on all four with the question of the new rat being con fiscatory, which the Southera Railway raise?

Weekly newspapers In Nebraska, Iowa and several other western states have lately advanced the price of sub scription from $1 to $L50 and oc casionilly one In Michigan is doing the same, while more win have to fol low speedily or get oat of business. The patent inside houses hare raised their services about 50 per cent La bor and materia of all sorts have climbed upward until those publish ers who keep accurate books say their weekly papers are costing them doable what they did a few years ago. Aa a matter of fact, no decent looking week ly should ever have been sold for dollar a year, or a daily at $2, for thai matter. Omitting all advertising, no weekly could be issued a year for dollar or even $2 unless the circula tion is very large. On the same basis a dally paper of 3.000 circulation would cost more than $5 to each subscriber, considerably more. That time has passed and is not likely to return. It never should have beea done, for the price was always too low. It is an axiom of the publishing bu siness, a century old at least, that the subscriptions and sales of any weekly paper ought to pay all the expense of producing it, leaving the receipts for advertising to pay Interest on the plant, make repairs and reward the owner for hi labor. It is safe to say that not a weekly in Michigan to-day is doing it, and the daily papers are still worse off. Ia most cases sub scriptions do scarcely more than pay for the white paper aad possibly the postage. The only conclusion is that the sell ing price of weekly and dally local paper must go up folly SO per cent It Is a bard proposition for most pnb- us tiers, out tt most be done.
