The Cleveland boom for the dem ocratic nomination for President is much discussed these days. "The man on the street' is puz zled and wants to know what it means. Cleveland is disliked by many factions and liked by very few, and yet he is being most in dustriousiy, boomed for the nomi nation at a time when harmony is sorely needed. The old sol diers want to know why the man who hired a substitute should be offered the chance of a third term which was denied to Grant; the advocates of party harmony want to know why t lie smolder ing embers of discord should--be fanned iuto a fresh blaze by the nomination of a man whom the nominee of the last two demo cratic conventions has described as a bunco steerer; the Gorman men ask why the preference should be bestowed on the man who used the words ''perfidy and dishonor" to characterize the course of the Marylander on the tariff question ; countless busi ness men impatiently inquire whether the country has not had enough of the "blight brought on business by Cleveland's last ad ministration. The South also has its grievance, for it never loved the ex-sheriff. Yet there is no cessation in the activity of the Cleveland boom. No wonder the causal observer is puzzled and does not know what to make of it. Of course v everybody knows that Southern preferences count for nothing with the democratic campaign committee. The wily managers point out that the South is democratic anyhow and need not, be considered. But what is puzzling people is why the numerous classes whom the Old Man has antagonized should be ignored. Yet the meaning , of the Cleveland boom is plain enough to the few who have been watching the game closely, though the others have not caught on. If you want to solve the puzzle, keep your eyes on the ball and never mind the grand stand. In other words, fix your attention on the one great central fact in the case, which is the trusts; These trusts have a powerful grip on the country and are ready to do all they know in order to keep it ; for this means dollars to them. They recognize that the only President who has done anything worth speaking of towards re straining them is Roosevelt and their instinctive wish is to get him out of the way. They thought at first that they could defeat him for the nomination, but failing in this they will try to defeat him for the election, for they fear him as the devil fears holy water. -l As they cannot defeat Roose velt inside the republican party, thev are constrained to hunt up a democrat whom they can boom, and from their point of view he must be a man who is in sympa thy with them or one whom thev bulldoze or hoodwink. Cleveland is in sympathy with them and is therefore their first choice ; their second choice would probably be Judge ? Parker, and . their t hird any amiable figure-head whom they would I feel sure of being able to restrain from anti-trust whom legislation. They would not object to running him on an anti-trust platform if that would catch votes, but they would take care to , have him where they could head him off from any ac tivity in that direction. The pre text of a de'adlock 'in the senate could be good enough for this. But they would prefer a man in sympathy with them, and while they may be reduced to a second or third choice, they are still Owen His Life to a. Neighbor's Kindness. ; Mr. D.' P. Daugherty, well known throughout Mercer and Sumner, coun ties, W. Va., most likely owes his life to the kindness of a neighbor. He was almost hopelessly afflicted with diar rhoea: vwas attended by two physi cians who gave him little, if any, re lief, .when a neighbor learning ot his serious condition, brought him a bot tle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which cured him in less than twenty-four hours For sale by W. H. Justus. fighting, for Grover Cleveland, whom they reckon as being a strong trust man. The influences which are at the bottom of the Cleveland boom are grouped around J. Pierpont Morgan. This accounts for the copious supply of funds with which the wheels of the move ment seem to be lubricated, and if this play is successful in corner ing the democratic nomination it seems likely that the republi can campaign fund maybe small er than usual. But it is not yet certain that the play will succeed, for Bryan is still a factor, not as a candidate but as a candidate maker. If the scheme is put through, democratic gains (if there should be any) in the East willi be offset by a republican landslide in the West, and the best opinion seems to be that Roosevelt is strong enough to de feat any combination that may take the field against him. The Morgan forces are not by any means having it all their own way. Democratic candidates are "thick as leaves in autumn," and the list while thinning out at one end grows apace at the other. Judge Gray is now con ceded to be dead as a Presidential possibility; Judce Clark never had any chance ; Stone is men tioned but has no strength ; the Olney boom is being revived; Gorman is reported to be playing hard for his own hand; while dark horses innumerable flit to and fro in the deepening demo cratic gloom. The skein is badly tangled, but you can unravel some of the threads if you keep your eye on Morgan. N. S. THE SCHOOL FUND. Charlotte Chronicle. P, C. Abbot has returned from Greensboro, where he held a confer ence with Rev. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, of New York, secretary of the General Education Board ; Dr. Charles D. McLver, president of the State Normal and industrial College, and Prof J. Y Jodner State Buperintendant of Public 'Instruction, regarding the Mecklen berg-Hen dere o n county school fund. It will be recalled that aa educational rally was held in Charlotte last year for the purpose of raising a fund for rural schools. At that time Dr But trck, representing the General Educa tion Board, made a proposition to du plicate all cash subscriptions made by the citizens of Mecklenberg for this purpose, up to $6,000, two thirds of the fund to go to the schools of this county and one third to rural schools in Henderson county, to aid in build ing modern school houses and extend ing the term. This fund, if fully com pleted, will give $12,000 to rural schools, $ b,000 to Mecklenberg and $4,000 to Henderson At yesterday's conference it was found that a large portioo of this fund was already subscribed, and it is the purpose of the local committe to se cure the remainder within the next few weeks, before the time limit ex pires, and so make available the entire $12,000. Already a number of districts in Mecklenberg have voted a special tax for the support of their schools, and appropriations will be made to them from this tuna in tne near future. In Pleasant Hill district, Henderson county, one of the best rural school buildings in the state is now being completed. Two other disricts in that county have voted a special tax and will next secure an appropriation for new buildings. Dr. Buttrick spent, a few hours in Charlotte last night on his way to Athens, Ga. while here he held a fur tner conference with Mr. Abbot and Mr. P. R. McNinch, secretary and treasurer of the Mecklenberg fund . TO SCHOOL COMMITTEEflEN. Editor Times: Please say to the school committee of Henderson conn ty that the school census reports must contain an accurate report of the num ber of males and females between the ages of 12 and 21 years who cannot read and write. Snpt Joyner writes me that reports failing to contain this item cannot be accepted. He says our county has been placed too low in the scale or illiteracy, because these points of in formation have not been accurately reported v heretofore and have been only guessed at. Gentlemen of the committees, if your report has come in without this infor mation, please send it to me or Chair man Dermid on separate slip. J.W.Morgan, . Co. Sunt. Sej t. 14, 1903.
