Si Bear Catches Fish
There was an Eskimo lad who was
fond of fishing, as boys generally are.
One day he went out with his rod and
line and plenty of bait to aee if he
could not make a good catch of fish.
He pitched In bis hoebnd threw him
self on the ground and. laay boy, wen
Lfast a sleep.
But it was doubtless the best thing
for him that he did go to sleep, for in
a few minutes along came Mr. White
STROLLED AWAY WITH A IO FIBH.
Bear, who had left borne without, his
breakfast and was Just now looking
for something to eat.
"Ah," cried Mr. Bear, "here is a boy!
I'll eat him!" t
And with that be walked up near to
where the boy was asleep. But when
he got within a short distance Mr.
Bear noticed the fishing pole. Now, as
much as the white bear likes nice lit
tle boys, he likes nice, fat fish better.
Bo Mr. Bear said to himself:
"I'll pull that line in and see if there
is anything on the book."
He did so, and there was a good fat
fish there. Mr. Bear was much pleased
and sat down and ate the fish. Then
he threw the line In again, and, lo and
behold, he pulled out another fish, ne
also ate this fish and a third which he
caught by tossing the line In again.
Hts hunger having been relieved, the
bear did not, of course, have any fur
ther desire to eat the Eskimo lad, but
turned on his heel and strolled away
with a big fish. Chicago Tribune.
All Europe Is in Revolt a. gainst Amer
ican Cotton
Washington, Jan. 28. A revolt
againt American cotton ia the title of a
long report just received at the State
Department from UniteiStates Consul
General Mason at Berlin. Germany.
Mr. Mason says that foremost among
economic movements in Europe, which
may have a serious meaning for import
ant interests in America, is the present
simultaneous effort of Great Britain,
Franco and Germany to emancipate
their textile . industries from depend
ence upon American cotton. ,
The portentous feature of the eitua
tion is that there is, not only in Ger
many, but throughout Europe a grow
ing feeling of resentment against this
dependence and a determination that
their spinning, and weaving industries
must at any cost, be emancipated from
such vassalage by the development of
wholly new sources of supply. Jhe
German press charges that the Ameri
can cotton market is at the mercy ctf
speculators who drive up and down the
prices to suit their own purposes. Thue
far the movement is in its infancy, but
its future may be ominous for the cot
ton growers of our Southern States, says
Mr. Mason. Experiments in the East
African colonies during the last two
years have been successful. It is an
nounced that there are many thousand
square miles of land in Africa with soil
and climate well'adapted for the culti
vation of cotton.
Through the German Consul at Gal
veston, arrangements are being "made
to send over and educate at the agricul
tyr&I school and on plantations in Texas
a number of young Germans who, be
fore gbing will contract to spetid a
number of year! as superintendents of
plantation in the German African
colonies. Coolie labor fror& China will
be employed in case the native tribe!
prove too incompetent.
It may be many years before AU
European crusade for colonial cotton
may be accomplished but, says Mr.
Mason, whether we like it or not the
day will come (aoner or later when the
cotton of our Southern uplands andl
and valleys will no lon be king be
yond the frontiers of the United &Otea.

CLfcVELINO RESPONSIBLE VOB
HIGH PRICED tPTTON.
Charlotte Chronicle.
Here is something interesting. It
will be reraembered how Grover was
aforetime blamed for every calamity
real and imagined, that overtook the
country. Now they are charging him
with the responsibility of 15 -cent cot
ton. The charge is madeby tne York
ville, S. C, Enquirer a ad in such a
unique wa$ that we copy the editorial
entire, and without putting it in non
pareil. The story, as related by the
editor of The Enquirer reads:
"If, without prejudice, one seeks to
unearth the real reason, for the present
high price of cotton, we are inclined to
think that he will not have to strain
his imagination very severely for facts
and circumstances by which therespon-J
sibility can be laid at the door of Gro
ver Cleveland. We are not joking and
we are not seeking to boost Mr. Cleve
land. But most of our readers will re
member that there was a time about
ten years buck when nearly everybody
in this coupiry, this writer included
was crazy on the subject of the. "free
c linage of silver. We all knew that
the country was in deep financial
trouble and most of us were ae firmly
convinced that the remedy was free
coinage of silver. Great Britain con
trolled ibe gold of the world and the
only way that we oould see out was to
make silver the standard. So firmly
was the Democratic party convinced of
this that it was ready to pass the nee-,
essary lawshy an overwhelming major
ity and would have done so had it not
been Jor the firm, stubborn, trailoroun,
ve then thought, stand of Mr. Cleve
land. It was the President's influence
and power that prevented us from get
ting what we wanted. And what fol
lowed? More hard times, greater econ
omy and harder work. OurmanufC
tures were further developed and our
trade expanded. Then came the South
African war, and as the result of tue
terrible expense that was incurred by
Great Britain and the preparedness of
the United States, this nation took
Great Britain's place as the financial
dictator of the world. It used to be
Siiid, and with truth too, that the cot
ton market could not be cornered.
Many able speculators tried it with the
result that they were ruined. The rea
son was because Great Britain had
everything to lose by high priced cot
ton, and having financial control of the
world she was able to make the price
as she would. But the developments
of the past two years have - emphasized
the changed conditions beyond a pos
sibility of a mistake. The fact that
the supply of cotton was not equal to
the demand was not the shrewdest dis
covery that W. P. Brown and his col
leagues made in connection with the
opera ioDS that subsequently proved so
successful. A shVewder discovery than
that was the fact that they could raise
the necessary money in spite of the an
tagonism of Great Britain, lhe price
of any commodity depends as much on
presence oi the money with which to
pay for it as upon the necessity and de
sirability of the article. Anyhow, it is
not necessary to elaborate details as to
the result of the Brown operations.
Every bale of cotton that sold over 9
cents bears its own testimony. But
suppose old Man Cleveland had not had
the nerve to stand in the way of the
balance of us on that free coinage prop
osition?" Our standard of value would
have been demoralized to such an ex
tentjthat we would have hardly been
able to get it straightened out even up
to now. England's financial superior
ity would never have been phased,, and
Liverpool would still be fixing the price
of cotton as of old. As matters now
stand, unless tne boll weevil and other
pests which have undoubtedly contrib
uted thtfr share to existing conditions,
woi k still more widespread devastation,
the South will son become the richest
6t the earth.

Idle Comment In Charlotte Observer.
What is there in North Carolina pol
itics for atybody, anyway? If you go
to the Senate the chances are dead
against your making a reputation; you
have to run in debt u you live decently;
and when you come back home you
have no more honor, usually, than the
gentleman who runsthe bog farm.
We are such Democrats down here.
And Congressmen why, there ought
to be a charity home tor the care of the
ex-Congressmen from this State. Judges
get about half as much money as is
necessary to support an ordinary family,
and then they get off the bench and
wrangle with legal fledglings over $5
Leases in a magistrate's court. And
Governor there's a thankless job for
you. Vance was the only Governor
who went out of official harness as
strong as he was when he put it on.
Governor Aycock your pardon, Excel
lency, for this is a thrust from a friend
has lost by taking his present posi
tion. He lies in a great, gilded man
sion and must sp nd every cent that
be makes. He is cursed for cause and
without cause; is bothered and badger
ed is made a big, shining target for
anybody's ill-humor. He is a big man
in lots of ways, but he must walk in an
official treadmill that demands conser
vatism and hide bound methods, as
motive power and rebukes force or orig
inality in 1'iese piping times of proi
rfss. "Cui bono?" as Capt. George F,
Bason says to Col. Hamilton C ones.
When General and ex-Senator Matt. W.
Ransom appeared at the reuui n at
Greensboro and pulled down his right
ciiff with that seductive inward move
ment, the au tionce arose and cried,
"Hail, chieftainl" But he was best re
membered even then because -he raises
more cotton than nearly anybody else
ia eastern North Carolina. The reward
of politics is not. But poli ics shuts
one off from really honest work, and
causes his grocer to be more suspicious.
The only man that the . writer ever
knew who made any money out of
North Carolina politics was CjI. Peter
Murphy, of Salisbury, who was read
ing clerk in the Stte Senate. They
raised the limit to $2 and allowed jack
pots whenever anybody held threes.
And the colonel caught full houses and
straights for a lone king. But the

Points of
Dl (Terence In
Trouble.
Huaso-Jap
Pa bib, Jan. 28. The Russian an
swer has not yet been sent to Japan
and it now develops that the points of
difference threaten the possibility of a
deadlock in the negotiations. These
points are:
First. In Manchuria Russia declines
to concede such unrestricted admission
of Japanese as will permit the estab
lishment of Japanese settlements.
Second. In Korea Russia insists
Japan's privileged position sh uld not
psrmit her to establish control of the
egress and ingress of the sea of Japan
by fortifying the straits of Korea.
Concerning these points and the gen
eral status of the negotiations the fol
lowing semi-official statement, emanat
ing from the highest sources, is made
"The question is undergoing alter
nate phases of depression and encour
agement. For three or four days it
was belived that a final agreement was
very near at hand, but yesterday the
situation became a little less hopeful.
"Concerning Korea, Japan is show
ing great caution in accepting Russia's
assurances of Japanese paramount
authority in Korea. Therefore, Japan
Heels that her safety requires the right
to fortify the cofcst of southwest Korea,
particularly Fusan, the point opposite
the Japanese Island of Tsu-Shina, but
Russia is unwilling to concede this, be
lieving the effect will be to make the
sea of Japan a closed Be a,
"Concerning Manchuria, the chief
difficulty still open is the right to estab
lish Japanese settlements. Russia does
not appear to object to the full liberty
of Japanese coming and going individ
ually for purpose of trade or otherwise,
but she is unwilling to concede the
right permitting Japanese sentlemeots
in lagest similar to the settlement's!

HITCH AS TO WHO PAW COST I
THE WILKES) AND STANLY
BO D CAtES.
Greensbobo, Jan. 20. There is a
hitch in the final disposition of the
Wilkes and Stanly county bond caset,
bout which there has been so much
litigation. The trouble this time is not
over the payment of the bonds' for that
has been settled, and the counties have
obeyed the order of the Ifruted States
Court, and already made payments of
interest and amounts due on the bonds
as directed by the mandate of Judge
Boyd in accordance with the decision
of the United States Supreme Court,
which was in favor of the plaintiff
bondholders, Coler &Co. The trouble
now is over costs. The matter of al
lowances was referred some time ago to
a standing master in chancery, Clement
Manly, to renoft to the court. It seems
that the questions now to be decided is,
shall the counties of Stanly and Wilkes
be taxed with any but the actual court
Costs of the litigation, which they have
paid up to date. The standing master,
without making any decision, certified
to the court and inquiry as to whether
any amount of, the attorney's fees for
the plaintiff, allowances for the receiver,
the mister in chancery and such ex
penses, should be taxed against the de
fendant counties. Judge Avery is here
to-day to appear before Judge Boyd in
b'balf of the counties to show couse
why they should not be taxed with their
proportionate part of this heavy cost.
Accompanying him are Mr. Duolap,
chairman of the board of commis
sioners of Stanly county, aud Mr.
S lUgg, its treasurer. Mr. Chailes
Price, of Salisbury, representing the
bondholders, arrived at noon. Judge
Avery contends that only the regulr
costs of the litigation are chargeable
against his clients, excepting a propor
tionate among of the fees for the referee
or master in chancery. Another mat-,
ter of importance is involved in the
question as to the loss of interest Stanly
county has sustaiued by reason of in
junction tieing up its bonds, preventing
Us being deposited or invested, thereby
cutting' off the s6curing of interest on
the amount. The county says it should
not be compelled to pay interest on the
bonds, for the time it could get no in
terest on the fund, sequestered. The
amount involved in an ordinary case
would be small, but in these cases,
where fees and charges reach away up
into the thousands, and probably hun
dreds of thousand dollars, makes it of
great importance.
Mlmmona' nirong Arguitiiut.
Washington, Jan. 27. In the Sen
ate to-dny Mr. Simmons, of North Car
olina, witti impassioned speech urged
the ratification of the canal treaty.
He felt that to refuse to ratify the
treaty would be inflicting a greater
wrong on Panama than had already
been inflicted on Colombia. He ap
pealed especially to the Republicans
not to regard Panama as a partisan
question. If it were so regarded in.the
Senate, he said, it would be entirely the
fault of the Republicans, since the
Democrats intended to vote individu
ally as each thought best. This state
ment seemed to be received with inter
est by the Republicans as indicating the
failure of the Democratic leaders to
bold their voters together. Mr. Sim
mons is one of the Democratic Senators
mentioned a few days 'ago in The Ob
server as intending to speak in favor of
the treaty. Other minority Senators
who at that time refused to admit that
they would vote for the treaty are ex
pected to follow in his lead shortly.
