' The press dispatches in yesterday's morning papers In North Carolina, as a rule, contained no mention ot the recommendation made by General Mo Kenzle, chlel of engineers, for an ao- prOprlation for the existing project for 8 feet of water from Wilmington to Fayetteville. The Oreenbsoro Indus trial News, however, contains this:, - Washington, D. C, Nov. 12. Hun dreds Of thousands nf rlnllnrn will ha required to complete river and harbor improvements in iNorth Carolina, ac cording to the annual report of the chief engineering officer of the army, and estimate for projects in the state are made as follows: Inland waterway from Pamlico sound to Beaufort inlet, $250,000; Cape Fear River above Wilmington, $130, 000; below Wilmington, $250,000; Pamlico. and Tar rivers, $3,800 and $1,000, respectively; waterway be tween Beaufort harbor and New river, $42,640;- Waccamow river, . $28,000; Roanoke river $38,994; Inland water way from Pamlico Sound to Beaufort Inlet, $350,000; waterway between Newbern and Beaufort, $35,000; water way between New river and Swans boro, $26,000. We observe that a sub-head to Mr. Pence's letter to the Raleigh News and Observer says that the "survey to Fayetteville lis completed." The sur vey waa completed In 1900. The state ment In the text of bis letter conveys the complete information on this sub ject, viz: that "a survey of all the sites for looks and dams on the Upper Cape Fear Trora Wilmington to Fay etteville has been completed," etc. In this same letter the figures for the value of the commerce on the Upper Cape Fear are printed as "$3,630, 0775." We suppose the amount was $3,630,775. The commerce on the Neuse Is set down at "50,315 tons, val ued at $17,967,655.". That would' be $357 per ton of course a mistake, as the value per ton of Wilmington's com merce Is some $50, and that of tire Upper Cape Fear some $30 per ton. ' We Imagine that we shall soon be favored by our -representatives in Congress with a copy of General Mc- Kenzle'a report, when we will have pleasure In epitomizing it for the bene fit of our readers. RAILROAD REGULATION NORTH AND SOUTH. We have several times noted the difference in the treatment by both parties to It of the railroad rate question- at the North, on the one hand, and at the South, on the other. The attitude of the Federal Judges in the two sections, respectively, Is. also In marked contrast. The difference is well illustrated In the case of Minne-1 aota and Georgia, as described by the Atlanta Journal, which says: ' Minnesota Railroads Like Cheap Fares. t nt at o viu1 iiint t en 1 n Tin oonn rrari ro t as results in a net Increase in the earn- (ilea nf thn rnltrnArla whJMi nrlont rrtom is being accepted all over the coun try, it is naturally one ot tnose ques tions which experience alone can de termine definitely, and as one state after another makes the experiment, the evidence becomes cumulative that when fares are lower a greater number of people ride of the trains and the re sult la that the net earninzs of the railroads increase.

There are no inherent conditions ,n the Bute of Minnesota which make it easier for the railroads to earn a bet ten revenue under reduced passenger rates than they can in ueorgia. i nf nnv riven territory Is recognized as almost a controlling element In the regulation ot paaBen- . iu rnnaidared on this basis.

In 1905 Minnesota's popula tion still lacked a great deal of recb- . .i.. i.. million mark, while that II1K U1V t-iv ... ........ . of Georgia was officially estimated by the censue Bureau at two w hundred and five thousand. Wlth -a oopulatlon practically twenty per cent, larger than that of Minnesota we may naturally assume that the State of Georgia could afford -a greater reduc tion in passenger rates than Minneso ta has made, and yet. as a matter of faot it Is in Minnesota that the legisla ture passes a law making two cents a mile the "maximum" rate, while in Georala the graduated scale ranges from two to three cents. The most that the people of Oeorgla fcava aver asked has been that the railroads sell rnurohangeabl. mileage book., In thousand mile denomination!, at a two cent rate. - - In passing, attention may be called to the fact that the MInnesotans dealt very -summarily with the railroads. There was no fooling about As "Suc cess" puts it, "they didn't investigate, or anything; They were in a hurry." and passed the rate law. The Georgia rates were promulgated after long con sideration and Investigation, and every courtesy was shown the railroads. - The results of the first month ot the new rates in Georgia demonstrate the fact that everybody down this way Is getting ready tor "visit his Aunt Mary," and as time goes on he will visit his Uncle John and the rest of the relatives and in-laws. The railroads are already showing an Increase in earnings. In the face of the facts here and in Minnesota, and everywhere else that a reasonbale reduction in passenger rates has been tested, it ia strange, very strange, that even the railroads can protest any longer against meas ures which Increase their own pros perity. . .. i In the meantime the question Is evi dently settling Itself if the raljroads would only allow it to' do bo, and put an end to "agitation" by taking, the matter out of the feverish forum of litigation. 80CIALI8M IN GERMANY AND 80 ON. . Shimon Yesterday's Baltimore Sun contains an interesting account of a lecture de livered in that city by Dr. William Cohnstaedt, the German travelling cor respondent of the. Frankfort Zeltung, which we append. Two of the lecturer's statements are especially interesting, as illustrative of the condition of the common people in Germany, on the one hand, and in America, on the other; but they point in different directions. Thus, the German laborer, it ap pears, Is more independent of his em ployer than the American the Ameri can being used to advertise his em ployer's business on occasion ot labor parades; while the German exalts the cause In behalf of which the parade Is supposed to be made. On the other hand, the lecturer points out the difference between the German and the American newspapers a difference, by the way, which marks all the European newspapers, as it did most American newspapers up to the war of 1861. "With us," says Dr. Cohnstaedt, "local news Is given little space; we aim to make our dally' papers more an educating- fac tor than I believe the dally press in this country to be." As we have had occasion to say before, on the same subject, the difference is due to the superior social position which the av- kerage man enjoys in this country. Everybody is excellent (except the unpopular man), and few there are whose lineage is not traced for them to Charlentggne, or at least, to William the Copejuerer. This exaltation of the Average man, however, does not In terfere with the money-getting of fa vored Interests, and therefore the dem ocratic aspirations of our people for the best that's 'going is suffered to take Its course. Says the Sun: Dr. William Cohnstaedt, one of the two American correspondents of the Frankfurter Zeitung, one of Germany's ttrongest newspapers, delivered an in terestlng lecture on "German Social Ism" before the graduate department on political economy at the Johns Hopkins University yesterday morn 'ng. He said, in part: "The spirit of socialism among Ger man workingmen seems to be far greater than that existing among those of the United States, as far as I have been able to observe in the great cities of the East. It is a doctrine which be came prevalent In Germany about 1863, and through the writings of Karl Marx and Lasalle it has spread throughout the country, although its headquarters may be said to be in Berlin. "In contradiction to a recent state ment by a New York papier to the ef fect that the Socialistic party has be come a menace to the Emperor and his -arty and the Idea of our large stand 'ng army, I wish to state emphatloally that the desire of the German Social ists is not the demolition of the stand ing army or the' weakenlngTfthe-lm-perlal power, but merely the short ening of the period of enlistment re luired of each recruit "As soon as the German arrives at the age of 20 he Is required to serve InLJhe armyforitwq years,-during which time he may be sent to any part of the world considered necessary. At the end of that time, however, he is free to resign. The idea of the Social istic party is to shorten the period of forced enlistment from two years to one. --r - Not to End Monarchy. '."The assertion that the Socialists desire to abolish the monarchy and es tablish a republic is idle talk. ' . "I have been Impressed by one par ticular difference . between the work ingmen of Germany and the United States.

In ew York city on many of the turn outs were to be seen the name ef the amployer and his line ot manufactures t business rather than a sign indica tive ot labor In general. - tn Germany the workman thinks first of labor as a whole and then of the branch of which he 1 employed. ."The Influence of Marx and Lasalle upon' the worklngman of Germany has been great The writings of the form er are rather too abstruse and intricate to be profitable reading tor him, but the principles there set forth have been popularized by the teachings of Lasalle. .

The imperialist programme advan ces. The last we heard of it an In herent power, distinct from thai con ferred by the Constitution, was imput ed to the Supreme Court of the United States. That is to say, the position seemed to be taken that once the Su preme Court was provided for in the Constitution and established by act of Congress, it possessed powers (an in herent power, it is called) that were not named in the Constitution. Now the position taken seems to be a step a most serious and menacing one in advance. It is gravely assum ed that the sovereign people, who created the Constitution and provided therein for Its amendment cannot re strict the exercise of power by the Su preme Court when they, the people, think the court has overstepped the Constitutional grant . TRANSPORTATION AND ADVER TISING. Atlanta Journal. A communication has keen address ed to the railroad commission by President H. E. Harman, of the South era Trade Press Association, asking if the recent order prohibiting the Issu ance of free passes by railroads Is Intended to prevent the exchange of advertising for transportation. It Is said to be possible If not prob able that the constitutionality of this provision may be contested. It will be remembered that the anti- pass order of the railroad commission was based on the Hepburn law, passed by Congress. It was the purpose of the framers of that bill to prevent the interchange of advertising and trans portation on the ground that In theo ry, at least, it was a discrimination against the general public for the rail roads to issue transportation on tnat basis. The newspapers would be re ceiving the benefit of whatever mar gin of profit there might be between the cost to them of printing the ad vertisements and what it would cost them to purchase transportation at the rates prescribed for the general public. This feature of the law differ ed from the general prohibition against free passes in that it was not directed againBt the corrupt use offree passes. Other passes, as issued gener ally, which were simply "courtesies," carried with them the presumption that under certain circumstances they might influence legislation and create a bias in favor of the railroads on the part of those who accepted them. But this idea waa not associated with this feature of the Hepburn bill, and consequently of the order of the commission. It is a fundamental prin ciple ot all recent legislation on the question of 'railroad regulation and control that there shall be no rebates nd no discriminations of any kind ae between one purchaser of transporta tion and another. To give the news papers the benefit of their profits on advertising It is claimed would be to give them an advantage over the gen eral public to that extent and it was on this principle that the exchange was forbidden. There are many of the most sincere advocates of railroad reform, many, of the most earnest opponents ot the free pass evil, who hold that this fea ture -ofr the anti-pass laws is founded upon an abstract theory and that the Interchange of transportation and ad vertising does not violate the spirit of the anti-pass legislation. The nil roads have a natural right tctseHTheir transportatipnfor anything they like. They may take coal or other supplies ; they make take food Or other commod ity, so long as the market value of the transportation, which Is to say the rate paid ' by the general public, is charged against the market value of the commodity. A newspaper has a similar right to seel Its advertising space and receive payment in barter, it it feels disposed, juBt as some of our brethren of the weekly press do, In fact receive payment for the paper in the prover bial subscription - turnips and pota toes. The advertising space is the one great commodity which a newspa per has for sale, and it would be be yond the province of the law, accord ing to many of the best friends ot anti pass legislation to say that railroad transportation. waa the one commodity which a newspaper could not receive in payment of its advertisements. It is contended by those who reason thus that so long as the railroads charge the newspapers the established rate for transportation paid by the general public, and the newspapers charge their regular advertising rates to the railroads, there Is no discrimination againBt the general public. . There are few it any newspapers, whose advertising space ia valuable, that wish to buy and sell these respec tive commodities on any other basis and their advocacy of any so-called ex change la based merely on .the clearing house idea of convenience certainly not craft .

BRYAN MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT. HE LEAVES THE QUE8TI0N OF -, HI8 NOMINATION TO THE RANK ' AND FILE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY A Noble Statement of His Position Worthy of the Man and of the . : : Party..'',, - As noted in yesterday's Observer, Mr. Bryan made announcement of his position on the subject of his nomina tion for the Presidency next year. We give Jelow the text of the press dis patch from Lincoln, Nebraska, which contains Mr. Bryan's statement. It Is a noble presentation of his views on the subject, and of the conditions un der which a nomination by the party should be made. He assumes that he will not be nominated unless the party wishes to ' make an aggressive fight for Democratic principles, and de clares that acceptance of the nomina tion should hot be dependent upon whom the Republicans nominate or upon the prospects of victory or de feat. This settles the question ot the nom inee, for,', in our opinion, he will be tendered the nomination by acclama tionnotwithstanding his statement that be "will not ask for or seek the nomination" and that he "will not as sume to decide the question of his availability." The progress of the Revolution set in motion by Mr. Bryan's previous campaigns, and the state of public feeling In regard to the reform which be advocates, justifies us in the belief that he will be elected, and that he .vlll not be counted out this time, as he was by the purchased election offi cials in the Middle West in 1896, when the returns disclosed the impossible result of a vote for -every 4 inhabi tants. following is the announcement: .Lincoln, Neb. Nov. ' 14. William J. Bryan will accept the Democratic nomination for President in 1908 but he will neither ask nor make a fight for It. He says for one year or more he haa been pressed to answer , the luestlon, "Will you accept the nom ination?" and he believes the public is entitled to an answer and to know the position he occupies. The ques tion that ought to weigh most he ;ays, Is whether his nomination will strengthen the Democratic party more than the nomination of someone else. Not only will he not seeS""or ask for the nomination, but he will not assume to decide-the question of availability, and If the Presidency falls to another he will neither br ilsappolnted nor disgruntled. At the s'auK- time he denies that he has waited this long In a desire to set whom the Republicans are likely to nominate or to ascertain the chances of victory. Mr. Bryan says: "Now that the election of 1907 is past and plans are being made for text year's campaign, Mr. Bryan feels 'hat a statement Is due to the pub He. Those who prefer another candi date are entitled to know his posl--ion and those who favor his nomina tion have a right to demand an an iwer to the question so often put. 'Will you accept the nomination?' Hie refusal to answer the question has led to the circulation of many false reports and unfriendly newspa pers have taken advantage of his si lence to misrepresent his attitude. "Mr. Bryan will not ask for or seek i nomination and he will not .assume to decide the question of his availa bility. He has been so amply recom pensed by his party for what he has done and for what he has endeavored to do that he cannot claim a nomi nation as a reward; neither should his ambition be considered, for he has had honors enough from his party to .atiefy any reasonable ambition. The only question that ought to weigh with the party Is whether the part oan be strengthened and aided more by his nomination than by the nomi nation of some one else. If he can lerve the party by being its candi date, he will accept the commission and make the best fight he can. If however, the choice falls upon, anoth er, he will not be disappointed or dis gruntled. His availability is a ques tion to be decided not by him, not 'iv a few leaders, not even by the leading newspapers that call themselv es Democratic, but by the voters of the partyTand. to them, he entrusts the decision of tbe-questlon they are the supreme court In all matters concern ing candidates, as they are In all mat ters concerning the platform. "He assumes that they will not se lect him unless they desire to make an aggressive fight for the application of Democratic principles under the nresent conditions, and he also takes It for granted that the organization of 'he party will be in harniony with the platform, and will be composed ot men whose political records will Invite confidence and give assurance that a victory, if won, will not be a barren victory. "The Republicans must nominate either a reformer, a standpatter or one whose position on pjubllc questions Is unknown, and the course of the Demo cratic party should be the same no matter which element controls the Re publican convention. The Demo cratic party must make the fight tor what it believes. While it may take advantage of Republican mistakes, it must depend upon its own merits for success and not upon the error of its opponents.

If the rank and file of the Democratic party desire Mr. Bryan to make the race, he will make It, no matter who may be the Republican nominee.' "No one can estimate the chances of the party in the next campaign with sufficient accuracy to make his candidacy dependent upon the out look. While Democrats have reason to be encouraged by the fact that Democratic policies are now praised by many who denounced them a few "ears ago, and while further encour agement Is to be derived from the fact that the Democratic party Is more united than It has been for many years, and the Republican par ty more divided, still the action ot the Democratic party cannot be made de nendent upon the prospect of success. The prospects now seem excellent, but a Democratic national convention vlll be held, a platform adopted and candidates nominated, whether the prospects are bright or gloomy, and the party must make the best fight It can whether it enters the campaign vlth fear or with confidence. Demo crats believe that Democratic princi ples are sound, and that Democratic policies are necessary; they should, therefore, endorse those principles and present those policies and then se lect as their candidates those who, In their judgment, will give the party the greatest assurance of benefit in case ot victory. "If the members of the party be lieve that Mr. Bryan's nomination will help the party, Its princples and its policies he will accept the nomina tion whether the Indications point to defeat or vctory. A defeat can bring no disgrace where the cause Is a just me, but cowardice would be disgrace ful, especially In one who is as deep ly Indebted to his party as Mr. Bry an is. "The next campaign will be an ap leal to the public conscience. The In vestigations have shown not only the corrupt use of large campaign funds, but the only source from which they can be drawn, namely the corpora Mons that seek to convert the gov--rnment Into a business asset. The Democratic party stands for the doc trine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and, therefore, can lot promise favors to favor-seeking corporations. If it made such prom--es to the corporations It would be sullty of duplicity, for It would have to betray the voters as- the Republi can pary has done, In order to re ward these corporations as the Repub lican party has rewarded them. "The Democratic campaign must he carried on by volunteers who will -ork because they desire the triumph of Democratic Ideas. We cannot hope o appeal to the sordid or to buy the lurchaseable, even If such a course vould contribute toward Democratic uccess. No one should favor Mr. Hryan's nomination unless the party is 'tiling to open its books and show vhere Its contributions come from and for what the money is expended, "lie Republican party ought to be challenged to conduct its campaign in this open and honest way, and if tho Republican leaders refuse to accept challenge the Democrats can well af ford to leave the issue with the pub lic. "An appeal to conscience is politi cally expedient, as well as morally right, for the conscience is the most potent force with which man deals. The national conscience has alread; been aroused and a large majority of the voters have seen the necessity tor real reform, a reform that will make this government again a government of the people, by the people and for the people. It only remains for the Demo cratic party to convince the voters that It can be entrusted with the vork of reform, and nothing will do aiore to convince the public than a refusal to negotiate with predator -ealth and an honest appeai by hon est methods to the honest sentiment of the country." V WISE VIEW OF THE FINANCIAL 8YSTEM. The Richmond News-Leader says: "We think the lesson has been learn ed and that the next Congress will pro vide a currency system which will make currency famines impossible." The Norfolk Virginian quotes the above and comments as follows: "The wisdom of man has not yet de mised any system so perfect as that. The British plan provides for elasti city of issue to a degree which seems to approximate the limit of safety, but twice within the present generation Txindon has faced situations far more serious than that which lately threat ened New York. Finance has shown 'ess susceptibility to the conditions vhlch arise from financial congeston than any other country In recent years, .ind she has more than once been able to come to the rescue of her neighbors In times of stress, notably when she poured millions of hard cash Into the coffers of England when the failure of Barings had brought the Old Lady of Threadneedle street well nigh to her knees but the unanimous opinion of experts is that the superior stabili ty of French finance results more largely from the thrift of her people and the conservatism of her business habits than from any essential su periority in her banking and currency regulations. No law of purely human origination can put any community be yond the reach of financial disaster: but that is no reason why the commu nity should continue to blunder along under a system which invites per iodical stringency; or should desist from efforts to procure such legisla tion aa will minimize the dangers which have been demonstrated by sev eral coBtly experiences." The fact that a perfect system is unattainable, is, as our Norfolk con temporary wisely observes, no reason why the "community should continue to blunder along under a system which invites periodical stringency, or should dlslst from efforts to procure such legis lation as will minimize the dangers which have been demonstrated by sev eral costly experiences.'

American farm crops are selling this 'ear for an aggregate sum of $6,500, 000,000, the largest amount that agri culture has ever returned to the peo ple of any country in any year. The mines are working at a high rate of productivity. More coal will be un earthed, more pig Iron smelted, more steel plates rolled this year than ever before. In the South the cotton crop Is bringing twice what it did ten years ago. The New England mills are run ning busily. Everywhere wages are high and employment easily obtained. If this were a time of business fail ure, of lack of employment, of poor crops, of general poverty, financial de pression would be expected and a low ering of values would be Inevitable. But why should there be a panic In ew York when the community Is prosperous? Why should values be shaken when legitimate business Is earning such profitable returns? The answer Is simply because cer tain New York banks and trust com panies abandoned their legitimate functions to become gambling Institu tions. . Instead of confining themselves to the business of sound banking, their officers took their depositors' money for use in private speculation. As well might they have taken the bank's cash to Canfield's gambling house or to the bookmakers at the race track. SAYS IT IS FACT. Sedberry's Pharmacy Confirm Guaran tee on Hyomel, Cure for Catarrh.
