GREAT EXPENDITURES. j Our readers may recall the fact that sfome eight or ten years ago there was very much said in condemnation of the c6ngress when it reached the enormous expenditure of over a billion dollars in two yeears. The complaint and indlg nation were iust and proper. But It has come to pass that this billion bus lness is peculiar to no party, but both are equally guilty both are ' spend thrifts and of the neople's money. The present congress "has proved no excep tion. It has in fact broken the record and even went beyond the Fifty-sec ond congress with Its $1,027,104,547. Tho total for the present congress, that ex pires on 4th March, is given at $1,044,- 463,000. If the people, the tax payers, tho burden bearers, do not make pub lic economy the key note of a cam palgn and swear, all candidates to razee expenditures' by more than $100, 000 annually the country will be ruin ed by extravagance. It will not do to say that it is impos sible to reduce expenditures more than $100,000,000 a year. We believe it could tx? -reduced $200,000,000 if honest, eco nomlcal.men were in the congress. In 1860,Presldent Buchanan expended $85, 000,000, or les, all told. The population 31,000,000. Put it at 70,000,000 now, Ought not $270,000,000 to run it? Of course it would if there were rigid, econ- omy and downright honesty on deck. Let us refer to other but recent con gresses to see how much was expended The Forty-eighth expended, $655,269,402 some' $228,000,000 a year. The Forty ninth was extravagant fand' expended $746,243,403 an inexcusable increase of nearly $100,000,000. .The reckless fel lows have got in. The Fiftieth was still more reckless, faithless. It piled u.p"the expenditures' to the great sum of $817,878,075. But this was not enough for the wild-cat legislators. The next! congress jumped to $1,035,680,109 near lv $200,000,000 increase. And so it has1 continued, the sum each year averag ing about $500,000,000, but sometimes more. This is a great outrage upon the people at large. The present number of office holders is about 180,000. It is mar velous how very liberal congressman are with other people's money. The Bal timore Herald thinks extravagance is fixed upon this country. But it all de pends upon the people.- . If all the newspapers of all parties in" all sections of the country would open against it and denounce it roundly front day to day extravagant politicians and legis lators would disappear-in their holes. The people aroused to this matter of expenditures would demand" rigid economy, and would only elect, -men Who could be trusted to reduce expendi heavilv. A bankrupt treasury (save by borrowing) and a reckless congress to create great debts do not work well together. The newspapers have no little responsibility in this mat nf waste and debts. The Baltimore Herald says: "It is safe to assert that no future congress will go below the billion mark, even after pensions shall have ceased to be a drain upon the, public treasury. In 1891-92 there was established a record that will probably serve for all time to come as the lowest notch. Re publicans, democrats and populists tacitly admit that this a billion dollar country." - ' ' HOME FOLKS. The "deadly cigarette" "bill has pass ed the hf use by 66 to 28. It forbids sell ing or giving cigarettes to minors, for bids minors to smoke them, and a vio lation of the law shall be counted a misdemeanor, with fine of $10 or im i prisonment f6r thirty days. It will ! probably pass-s the senate. It may, I lessen, but, will hardly! stop the smok- I ing. ' l 1 It is to be hoped thatj the legislature will do something to give- the state some showing in trying criminals. The law now is altogether on the side of the scoundrels. A prisoner has fwenty 5 three challenges in selecting Jury while the state prosecuting has but i four. Whatever Induced legislators to ; frame such a law as that passes the comprehension of any man not an "old : Bailey" lawyer. In- the senate an I amendment offered by Senator Scales, I oT Guilford, passed. It gives the pris i oner ten and the state four challenges. ! Not-being of the profession we are un able to understand why a rascal should have more chances to pack a jury than the state has to prevent it. Senator Parker's bill was, better, giv ing an equal division of challenges. We hope the house will favor a biM fcttore like Parker's. It is time that the suf fering people had some stfowing in the courts and that crime was made, pun ishable. Law is presumed to be based upon-common sense.! Common-sense will not favor criminals to the detri ment of the state and the terrorizing j of society. ' . . :. A well known, able, influential North Carolinian, who is a strong i wriker.. and as true as steeVto all that . concerns his native state, writing to us last week said this, and we merely give it to show that "doctors differ." He lives in another part of the etate. He writes: "I want to write you a line ; of compliment on your editorials about Mr. Smith's article in the Contempora ' ry Review. I have not seen the article, but remember some months ago, he .was quoted as expressing abominable ; sentiments in regard to the' free silver ; movement in the United States. He is a bimetallist who don't twant bimetal lism, except his own way. Allother bi metailists are wrong but himself. But he is a mere . spec on the earth's sur face. It was the spirit of your utter ances that gratified me that we are right 'and the other fellows wrong! The man who undertakes to tnake a slur on us, anathema maranatha!" We give this not for strife but to show that on . this question as well as all others, there, are Indeed two sides. . ! COMBINING AGAINST RUSSELL' , So there is a prospect of an anti Russell party among his own folks in the legislature. He will have ills own way and will not take counsel with the piring leaders. He is the "Sir Oracle' of the radical gang, and cannot be In timidated or persuaded to go against fcla own plans or will, Russell ig a de- termined fellow and fee mikes the lit tle fellows bop around. . ; They (would bribe him to vacate and accept a United States Judgeship recently va cated "by the death of Judge Seymour, who made an excellent official, com manding the respect and confidence of the democrats as well as his own par ty. But Russell will not bite that cher ry. It Is pot to his taste. lie would two years or tour years henceUike'to suc ceed Butler, but he- prefers to te gov ernor of a great state to filling a Judge ship that cannot bring him any great distinction. The rads -will 'have to grin and bear their, man even if he runs counter to their plans. We hope he will be severely turned down In the'matter off the lease. He, Is not magnifying his office as yet in any particular except aa to the "university. His attitude in railroading bis many pardons, his willingness to afflict the towns In the state by changing charters and gerry mandering so as to put them tinder the control of .the worst element are all against the cherished hopes of those who looked for better things. With much ability It is to be feared that the governor "is set In his ways, The rads cannot manage him to suit themselves, so they would get him out and put a more pliable official who can 'be manipulated to suit their schemes. . I THE IMMIGRATION BILL. ine effort to check immigration in the congress will be successful. The way that will be resorted to may not be the best. We Inclined to the view that prevails in the congress,- to make writing and reading the Condition of earning. But this may not shut out the undesirable element and may shut out the really better - class of imml grants. "Ouida," The English, novelist, who has long resided in Italy, writes to Senator Lodge that, she has. hired many Italians through tBe years and found the educated the most trifling and inefficient, and the faithful and serviceable the unlettered. She thinks that as far as Italy 1s concerned the law will fail. The congress would do well to go slow. , To look carefully into this matter of Illiteracy before exclud ing that entire class from seeking homes in qur land. Poverty is no crime and ignorance may not ' prove neces sarily a vice. Of the: immigrants in the past for the last hundred years tens 6t thousands were poor and many illit- erate, ana- suu nave maae gooa ana true citizens. It really appears to be a 'difficult subject to handle with satis faction, avoiding extremes, and not showing undue hostility to a large class who are unfortunate but not of the criminal classes. This government should have a law to discriminate be tween the criminal ..class and the worthy poor class. The European na tion have not acted in good - faith to wards this country. It ia known that they have shipped their paupef; class to be "rid of them, and doubtless have been glad to get rid of their criminal class. In this- way the United States have received a large supply of the former class and no little of the latter. This has moved the congress to take steps looking to excluding all who can not read and write over a certain age and making an exception in one partic ular. Let us give the bill now before the congress, and that has passed one, house if not both: Ail norsnns rhvsically capable and over 16 years of age who cannot read and write the English language or some other language; but a person not so able to read and write who is over 50 years of age and Is the parent or grandparent of a qualified immigrant over 21 years of age, and capable of supporting such parent or grandparent may be sent for and come to Join the family of a child or grandchild over 21 years of age, similarly qualified and capable, and a wife or minor child not so able to read ana write my accom pany or be sent for and come; to Join the husband or parent similarly qual ified and capable." SNAPS. Rev. Dr. Pike Powers, the able and venerable rector of St. Andrew's Epis copal church, Richmond, "Va., Is dead. He was 84 years of age and was born in Virginia. f McKinley has got over bis fatigue frorn tie persecutions of office seek ers. He! has finished writing his inau gural address. Has Hanna read it? Reed so managed that Richmond college hould not receive indemnity for losses in the war. He said they wanted war and they got it. He is not only a tyrant in the chair, but a sec tional shrieker. r Mr. W. J. Bryan has the right view of the baleful power and results of trusts. He says: "I believe that the continued exist ence of the trust is largely due to the fact that many public officials without openly defending it, are at heart friendly to it." Who will pretend to gainsay that plain statement? The alle editor of The Nashville Advocate "-writing of the. -late John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, at the close said this: "Without being the least of a dem agogue, he was a veryi iflne stump speaker. We have never heard a man who could so illuminate an elaborate argument with a pertinent anecdote. His power - of pantomine was nothing less than marvelous." . The University of Pennsylvania has been examining into the health of ne groes in Philadelphia. The report, shows: -v , "The diseases which cause the larg est number of deaths among the color ed people are consumption and pneu monia. The mortality fromi consump tion of white and colored people in Philadelphia, compared as follows, in 1890: White, 269.4 per 100,000 of popula tion; colored, 532.5. The inortality of the two races from pneumonia com pares as follows: White, 180.31; color ed, 356.67 per 100,000 population. In oth er diseases the disparity Is almost as great." - SHARPS AND PLATS. The, eastern question is' looming up as a menace to -the peace of Europe. Behold what a little fire kindleth. Lit tle Greece may have started a racket that will end In the rocklng.of anentire continent and in the convulsions of great kingdoms. A general war may follow. Last accounts looked as if the great powers were already in opposi tionRussia and Germany and per haps Austria on bne side and England, France and Italy on the other side, the side of Greece. It is nonsense to be talking of the peace of Europe and no more wars, with each great nation armed to the teeth and extending war preparations. Greece may be master of the situation in its contest with Tur key, but it has placed, the nations around her in a very dangerous atti tude of belligerency. ' - The railrQds of the United, States are not showing up as they once did. According to a recent article prepared as--Hy Mr. Robert P, Porter, an (English man given to :flgure " and statistics and years ago "a the head of the cen sus bureau, the condition of the Amer- lean railways is nor foealthful with some fe exceptions He say tftit few are holding their own. He says unless the decline si receipts is stopped wages must be reduced. He says "that 70 per cent, or over two thirds of all the out standing stock of these corporations paid nothing In 1895 and that the same is true of 17 per cent, of the bonds. A careful study of the railway budget, would bring Cut the appalling fact that probably half of the railway in vestments are nonproductive." In ten years the loss in Income is $150,000,000. If this, loss continues from year to "year what must be the final result? ' ;- ' - . i . ". It is time that a regular war on di vorce was opened all along the line. The standard for matrimony is fear fully low and legislators are disposed to make it lower and to more and more degrade marriage. In New York there is a club composed of Episcopalians which aims to alter the canons of their church so as to repeal the law granting divorce for conjugal infidelity. The Roman Catholic Church Has no law for divorce of any kind. Why not take God's law and abide by it? No one who regards the sanctity of the home, the basis of sound government and perpetuity C-f free institutions, wilL wish , to make more lax the law of divorce than God has made it. The trouble with our country is, that men, neither knowing Divine law nor regarding-it, have made the laws gov erning divorce, and the greatest scan dais and iniquities have followed. The movement in New York indicates re turning reason, and a willingness to have the most stringent law enacted to shut out "possibilities of divorce. It is said that the next general conven tion of the Episcopal Church will be asked! to change the canon. i It is ridiculous to see the northern newspapers essaying to prove that the illiterates voted for bimetallism and the literates for the gold standard Some time ago we examined this con tention and exposed its untenablehess. Senator Lodge, of 'Massachusetts, was unwise enough to take this extreme position, but to prove bis case he was disingenuous and unfair. He produced certain statistics to make good his contention, but when examined it is discovered baseless to a considerable degree. He insists that the largest vote for McKinley was where illiteracy was least and vice versa. Take his own rich state, that expends its ten mil lions or more annually on popular ed ucation. It is a fact that in spite of this Massachusetts has a greater per centage of illiteracy than- any state West ot the Mississippi river except two. This is very remarkable indeed So of Pennsylvania and New York, that gave McKinley such tremendous majorities, the claim is not sustained when you find the percentage of illit eracy. In the south the negroes voted for (McKinley and among them is the greatest Illiteracy. The Kansas City Times says: -"A further investigation of the the ory of Senator Lodge would De Inter esting. It would show that in the large cities, where McKinley got his vast majorities, the negroes and bummers voted for him, while .'the - intelligent union working-men voted agajpet Mc Kinley. And in the country, where the people are the best of citizens, the op position to McKinley was strongest. There is a good reason, however, for the fact that the illiterates and moral degenerates voted for McKinley. They were the class that money could buy. The plea of some papers that balls like the recent Belshazzar display in New. York are a public blessing is pal try and absurd. The lact that vain and foolish people with much money they never honestly made were public ben ef actors in expending a quarter of a million in a nignt s aeDaucn is noi wisely entertained. It ignores the whole moral basis of life and 'is sim ply a plea for "debasing the moral cur rency" as some one has aptly said. The old plea of vice is to do evil that good may come. That is bad morals and will work ruin if generally ap plied. However many people were 'helped" by working 4o make a suc cess the flashing and very aristocratic display at the Bradley-Martin blow out, it is not sound morality to say that the money could -not have been better used or the workers better em ployed. If the $250,000 'had been given to the poor it would have done, a vast deal more good. It is said that many of the plutocratic nabobs were afraid to attend because of bom'b throwing and other ugly devilment by anar chists. The Nashville Advocate in a long i comment upon the gaudy ' and wicked display said: "Moreover, can the Bradley-Martins ao notning better than dance and daw die? Is their criminal waste of time purified to innocency, and then exalted to benevolence because the exwndi tures made by it bring bread and busi ness to a Tew scores of people? Many rich people, as godless and giddy as the Bradley-Martins, criti cise the performance not because they consider its essential immorality, but because Just at this time, when there is widespread unrest and popular dis content, it is thought to be imprudent The truth is, such an outlay is at any time a sin. It is not to be condemned because It may inflame anarchists, shut because it displeases God." The Pass a l'Outre Crevasse Bill. .Washington, February 22. The sen ate conferees on the oill appropria'tlng- $250,000 for the stoppage of the crevasse at Pass a l'Outre, Mississippi river this afternoon agreed to the house sub stitute with, a minor amendment. As agreed to the bill appropriates 5 the money but does not destroy any fights the unrted States may have under its contract with the Bads : . people, nor does it release the Eads es.tate from any "obligation in connection' with, the work. The question of the liability of the Bads estate to close this crevasse is referred to the attorney general for decision, after he shall have, heard both sides. If that official decides that the responsibility for closing this break in the river rests upon the Eads es tate under -its contract to maintain a clear channel, it is stipulated; that upon the completion of their contract, the secretary of war shall withhold so much of the money as -may be due the estate as shall have been, expended un der the authority of this act, until the same shall have 'been judicially or oth erwise legally determined in favor of the Bads estate. Mysterious Murder and Suicide. Falls Village, Conn., February 22. When he awoke Saturday morning the 14-year-old son of Walter Chapin, of this place, found the body of his moth er tn the dining1 room of their borne and, near by, the body , of Charles Mead, about 25 years old, son of Hev. H. P. Mead, of Scotland, Conn. A pis tol, with several chambers empty, was also found. Coroner Higgrns, after an investiga tion, said he believed Mead killed Mrs. Chapin and then himself. Mead bad been paying attention to her in the ab sence of her husband, who is super intendent of a shoe factory at Sheffield, Mass., and is away trom home most of the time. It is "believed that Mead call ed upon Mrs. Chapin and that they had a quarrel, .which ended in the shooting. - . . - " ' . iMr. Chapin says lie believes bis wife guiltless in the matter.

He was fair, Just and impartial. and his decisions were received with re spect and accepted as sound expositions cf the law. In his death a bright Judi cial light has gone out, and the state has lost an honored and useful citizen. Raleigh Tribune. - - The farmers of Halifax have received through their representative in the pre sent legislature, a curse from wh'ch It will take two years at least to go free. Jt is evident to all fair minded men that the present law as passed a few days since is an outrage, an injustice to the property holders of Halifax county and would never have been passed ex-, cept with the consent of the Halifax representatives.: When those- who would raise clover, grain and other crops that require the winter season to grow in, are deprived of this privi' lege, and are compelled to buy western hay, corn, and flour in order that their lands may be public grazing fields, the money of the country will continue to go out of the country to support other farmers who are not so oppressed by legislation.' Annoyances, and discon tent will result from such abominable legislation. Littleton News Reporter. Two of the principal Journals of this country read by the capitalists arerThe Engineering News, of New York, and The United States Investor, Of Boston. They belong to the highest grade of publications, - and would not touch a' country in a write-up of its mineral de other resources with a 40-foot pole, unless that -country, after careful ex amination by their staff of experts.was found to possess unusual and extraor dinarily valuable resources or deposits. A short time ago both of these papers published long accounts of the gold de posits and gold mining industry of North Carolina exceeding fifteen col umns of their valuable spacer-written by an experienced newspaper man or Raleigh, who obtained his facts and data from the State Geologist and his reports, mostly new and fresh informa tion gathered by that department of state work last year. The Engineer ing News now has in hand and will soon publish a long, elaborate article on the iron mines of North Carolina written, by the same gentleman, who no longer than yesterday j told the state Geologist that but for the information and advance sheets furnished by him the articles, could not haye been madd attractive enough to have secured in sertion in these high grade Journals.
