his Position.
Washington, March 4. President
McKinley 's second inauguration is now
history, a very brilliant chapter in his
tory it was. Like ev-ry thing connec
ted with the public life of Hon. Will
iam McKinley, it was strikingly wuc
cessful. Arrangements were unusually
well carried out in every respect,
the parade, both in military and civic
features, was interesting from start to
finish and the street dec rations wer
more tasteful and artistic than ever
before, especially those in the Court of
Honor, as two squares of Pennsylva
nia avenue irom Fifteenth to Seven
teenth, were called for this occasion

tonight, could not possibly have look

The congressional legislative day of
Saturday was extended through Sun
day and until nearly noon today, and
with it died the fifty-sixth congress,
which, whatever its tailings may have
been, has h heavy balance to its credit
on the right side of the public ledger.
THE CABINE T.
President McKin ey wi;l follow the
example of General Grant at the be
ginning of the second term, and send
the nominat ous of his entire cabinet
to the senate, including th it of attor
ney General Griggs, who has promis
ed to remain at the head ot the depart
men t of justice for a few weeks. At
the last meeting of the cabinet, all the
members tendered their resignation
so as to open their way for their re-nomination.
MB. HUIX'S STATEMENT.
Just before the house passed tin-
army appropriation bill with the sen
ate, Cuban and Philippine amend
mente, Representative Hull, of Iowa,
made a manly statement of his con
nection with the Philippine Lumber
aud Development company, which he
said, caused him to be made a target
of ever since William J. Bryan had at
tacked him during tne campaign.
Mr. Hull said: "I will say that I am
the same man whose name has been
used in connection with that lumber
company. I have something invested
in it. It is a legitimate enterprise. It
has never asked a favor of the govern
ment. I will say that when I caunot
invest my money in a legitimate en
terpnse, i wilt quit politics. I do not
care to be a drone, depending only
upon my politics for my living."
THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.
The idea that the conditions laid
4
down by congress for the withdrawal
of American authority from Cuba,
II ' a jm a a m m
win cause iron Die in uuba, wnicn is
heard in some quarters, is not shared
by President McKinley or any mem
ber of the cabinet. On the contrary,
the President and his advisers believe
that the conditions will be complied
with by the Cubans. One thing is
very certain, they must comply with
9very condition named before Ameri
can authority is withdrawn. If they
wish us to retain, indefinite control
over the island, they have only to
leave the conditions alone.
Mr. Bryan's latest attempt to boss
the democratic senators was farcical.
He kept the wires hot with telegrams
trying to get the democrats to hold up
the army appropriation bill, by a nil
buster and force an extra session of
congress, ana tne democratic senators
A Pertinent Question.
Editors Times: If the legislative
branch of our state government im
peaches the supreme court because
the former thinks that the ruling of
the latter in the shell fish controversy
was unconstitutional, will not the leg
islature be thereby setting itself up as
a still higher supreme court? And in
that case will not the legislature be
acting unconstitutionally in view of
the declaration in the constitution of
North Carolina that " the legislative,
executive and supreme judicial pow
ers of the government ought to be for
ever separate and distinct from each
other?" Law and Order.
Joe Jarvis Arrested.
Through the efforts of Chief W. H.
Deavt r of the North State Detective
Agency, Joseph F Jarvis of this city
was arrested yesterday at Covington,
Ga. He is charged with "forging the
name of Joe Chambers and embezzling
the money of George W. Purefoy to
the amount of $100." Forgeries and
embezzlements to the amount of $6000
or $7000 will, it is expected, be reveal

THE SPOONER BILL.
Its Similarity to the fleas ure Passed
In Jefferson's Time.
The Times has already alluded to
th6 similaritj' between the Spooner
bil! and the measure adopted ninty-
eight years ago, under a democratic
president, for the government of the
then new territory of Louisiana The
Louisville Courier-Journal has also
noticed the similarity, and thus comments:
The Soooner bill is very similar to
the bill which wa passed by congress
in 1803 for the government of our new
ly acquired Louisiana territory. In
deed. Senator Spooner seems to have
had that act before him when he drew
his own measure, as a comparison of
the two bills indicates:
LOUISIANA BILL OP 1803.
"Until the expiration of the present
session of congress, or unless provision
oe sooner, made for the tem porary gov
eroinent of the said Territories, all the
military, civil and judicial powers ex
ercised by the officers of the existing
Government of th- same shall be vest
ed in such person and persons, aud
shall be exercised in such manner as
the President of the United States
shall direct, for maintaining and pro
tecting the inhabitants of Louisiana in
the full enjoyment of their liberty,
property and reliaion."
PHILIPPINJi BILL OP 1901.
"When a'l insurrection " shall
have been completely - surpressed by
the military and naval forces of the
United States, all military, civil and
judicial powers necessary to govern
the said islands shall, until otherwise
provided by Congress, be vested in
such person and persons, and shall be
exercised in such manner as the Pres-
dent of the United States shall direct,
for maintaining and protecting the in
habitants of said islands in the free
enjoyment of their liberty, property
and religion "
WOHAN'S INTERESTS.
If only the beauty hunters could be
induced to turn themselves into health
hunters, says a conte i : porary, there
would be fewer cosmetics sold by the
com plexion specialists. There is much
truth in this. Bad complexions are
often caused or aggravated by bad di
gestion, and the cure is to be found in
improved health. Among the most
effective means for obtaining this are
a reasonable amount of sleep, the use
of sufficiently cooked food and plenty
of outdoor exercise.
"r
A CUBE FOB SLEEPLESSNESS.
The Philadelphia Ledger recom
mends a pillow filled with hops instead
of feathers aa a nice present for ' per
sons troubled with sleeplessness, pro
vided they do not object to the scent
of hops, as the aroma helps to induce
sleep. Put the hops into a plain,
white bag and then make two pillow
cases of linen, with hemstitched frilled
borders, working, if you like, a design
in flourishing thread above the hem
stitched border, but no work on the
part where the head will come, and
you have a charming gift complete.
There is still in existence an unre
pealed law in Switzerland which for
bids the wearing 6f hats more than
eighteen inches in diameter, artificial
flowers and foreign feathers under a
heavy penalty.
Lumberton Argus: Saturday during
the snow storm a dog was heard yel
ping near here and kept up the yelp
at intervals until Sunday about 10
o'clock, when a crowd of boys went
oat to see if the dog was mad. They
found a strange dog which had hanged
laughed at him and allowed the bill to I himself by bis collar and had weath-
bf Toted upon. 1 ered the snow storm 24 hours.
Everybody is invited to the PURCHASERS' PICNIC at Tha
Racket Store, whicli is Jocated far away from the High Price
district.
The BARGAIN TRAIN conducted by J. B. Lyda will carry you ove
the road to Highest Ideals and Lowest Prices at greatly reduced
rates, for he is moving prices downward at every turn in the
road, and to buy of him means to round your dollars with a larger
circle of value than you have ever done before. His endeavor,
now as ever, is sell for small profits and serve satisfied customer.
Every one who attends this picnic is delighted with the trip, a d
carries home with him trophies of the victory over High Prices
His various lines are all satisfactory, for he keeps only Goods
that sell
And wear as well.
And by coming to the Racket Store you dodge the Wedge of
Profit found at other places that cleaves your purse in twain
and leaves you helpless.
Bees that go earliest gather the most honey,v
Racket Store costomers save the most money,
So ride around and stop around at J. B. Lyda?s Racket Store
and examine prices for yourself.
