To day good news is given the whole

Portsmouth peace envoys have reached
agreement, and that the greatest war
of modern times has been brought to a

Ruaeia bluffed and blustered to the
end and Japan receded in her demands
for indemnity, but after all Russia has
the hot end of the poker. Japan makes
more in moral chr c.er and standing
before the world than she lost in dollars
by receding from her demands, for in
demnity. Talk about yellow peril. If
that's yellow peril illustrated by Japan
in all this war and in the concession
f.hn has made after her victorious
armies had won every fight on land
and sea, then, good Lord, give us more
of the yellow peril the world over.
This so-called heathen nation has
not only taught the world how to fight
but they have shown the world how to
be magnanimous. Her demands on
Rim-in wpm inst and rieht. Russia
provoked the war and forced it upon
Jaosn. II s ia had bulldozed Japan
for five hundred years' and finally wh n
gracefully as they were won by your
spotleFs mayor. Act, I gentlemen, and
act quick, if you don't, the thing will
re-act. It's up to you, gentlemen, and
the press and people outside of your
state will keep it up to you for some
years to come if the thing re-acts.
Your acting must not be fox the pur
pose of saving your life, buf your character.

said we will submit no longer, and
ordered Russia off of her premiste.
Russia refused to go, but Bhe ia gone

her manhood, her honor and made for
herself a sure place among the great
nationB of the earth. Russia lost
every battle. Lost a billion in money.

claim on tne east, lost 300,000 men
and would have lost her honor if she
had had any. Toor old Russia. Her
war with Japan ia over, but Bhe is in
bad lines cn general principles. She
will no doubt have revolution at home
now. It's evolution or revolution, one
or the other, and maybe it will take the
first to bring the last. Old China is a
real victor in this war for she was per
haps in mere danger than Japan was
before and during tbe war. But she
came out on top, and now if China will
suffer Japan to boss and teach and
train her. Bhe will come to the front
juet as Japan ba. China is rotten at

President Roosevelt has come to the
front in this movement for peace, and
made for himself a p pu!arity and a
prestige for the United Statea such as
no king ever had and no monarch ever
enjoyed. Mr. Roosevelt is the mot
popular and most honored man in the
world to-day, and he deserves it all.
His inU-grity, his Cnn-uian character,

his courage and his demand ior a lair

The Governor will inaugurate a new
cuBlom in North Carolina on next
rhaukBgiving day. He will, on that
day, pardon two old convicts in the
penitentiary, who have made a perfect
record during their long term of sen
tence. This has, for many years, been
the rule in several other States and has
been found to work very well. The
Governor will no doubt recommend to
the next Legislature some steps looking
towards the creation of a board of par
dons, though it seems a change in the
constitution will be necessary to bring
this about, all the power being lodged
in the Governor. It is really too much
of a Btrain for him, or fur any other
one man.

The Scalp Picnic.
Charlotte Chronicle.
, The Danville, Va., Bee is not very
well pleased with the scalp picnic held
held by the farmers of Rowan county,
and which was described in the Chroicle
a few days ago. The indiscriminate
slaughter is a feature which it frowns
upon. It says, and very senBibly, that
"rarely, if ever, has any farmer had
any good reason to complain of the fly
ing squirrel. It is not prized for foe d.
It generally keeps well within the forests
and away from the habitations of men,
and lives on nuts which would otherwise
go to waste. If the creatures confer no
benefits on the farmers, they certainly
do him no harm." The same is true,
the Bee thinks, of the jay bird. The
Chronicle has already put in a plea for
these two. The Danville paper would
also protect the crow, and upon this
bird opinion has long been divided.
The Bee says: "We are aware that
most farmers regard this bird as an
enemy and deal with it accordingly, but
it also has same warm defenders, who
have made a very close study of its
habits and declare that it pays liberally
in the destruction of grubs and many
insects for the little grain it consumes."
year of 1906.
"This statement we make should
nd we believe will, have the effect of
causing the withdrawal from the mar
net of practically all cotton, not only in
'.he Suth, but everywhere, on both
fides of the Atlantic ocean, until
hall be seen what may be the mini
mum price to be recommended by tbe
S mthern Cotton Association to it
nembers for their acc?ptance at their
text me-ting on the Gth proximo.
"Therefore, it is hardly necessary to
suggest that tbe fituatioj, from the
vorld'e cotton spinners roint of view,
irast b corne, under these circum
tarces, a matter of very a rious mo
sent.
"Another element in the cotton mar-
ei woe se position, in large measure,
vill be dangerous, is that represented
y the enormons short interest in con
racts, not only in the New York mar
net, but at New Orleans and Liverpool,
oecause the basis of contracts that is,
