Already the people are awaking from the political sleep of 1896, and are rap idly becoming "mighty tired" of the McKiniey gang of incompetents, mar- plots and oppressors. Look at the elec tions held this year in many states democratic gains nearly every where. Chicago, the gol&bujr centre in the west, gone democratic in a mighty whoop. The hand-writing has already appeared upon the walls of the repub lican Belshazzar's palace, and it reads very like that of old Weighed In the balances' and found wanting. McKln-? ley had a glorious chance to do good and magnify his great office, but he is too weak, too much of a man of one idea, too submissive to wealth, too much in the grip of millionaire Hanna to do right, to help restore confidence . to a long suffering and much disturbed oniintrv. What ever his private vir tues, however pleasant and attractive his home life, he is the deadest of polit ical failure's and time will give oppor tunity for fiis political funeral without honors. The president who has had such an experience as McKinley has had, and in the face of a wide-spread revolt against an infamous robber sys tern of taxation for the benefit of I very rich class, - a giant monopoly, shows not only the worst of judgment but the very worst of principle. He lends, himself willingly to further the aims and ends, of the great rapacious devouring gang of manufacturing na bobs. Hanna says he is fully satisfied wit nf the Dingley bill. Hanna is one of the rich manufacture ers who have, got rich by robbing the people. He was also one of the first of the monopolists lords to cut the wages of his faithful workingmen. He likes the new, very, high robber tax, which leads all other robberies by as great a speed as the forty mile speed " of a railway train of our day does the lumbering stage-coach of 1840. Yes Hanna is satisfied. He may well be, - for he and his followers of the Dick Turpin gang can now get their fingers deeper than ever in the pockets of all sorts and conditions or people, iianna is satisfied at the encouraging show ing for more robbery and great profits. and the manikin in the White house submissive to the leading strings of the big Boss will echo the sentiment "I am satisfied with" the very high pro tection tax." This is indeed under radical rule a government of the mo nopolists and ,by the monopolists and for the monopolists. It is all for money without a particle of fairness, equality and honesty in the whole thing. "SNUBBING CONFEDERATE VET ERANS. The ceremonies and demonstrations . at the completion of the monument near New York city in the memory of General TJ. S. Grant are attracting dis- . cussion In advance. There is some fear, perhaps .well founded, that the southern men in the great city, and out of it, who 'Wore the gray.' are to be snubbed " or treated , in an unseemly way. Last year when the .confeder ates were subjected to a positive slight in the matter of a parade, The Messen ger said it hoped that manly self-respect would keep them hereafter from being treated cavalierly or humillatlng ly, and the best ..way was to keep out of the procession. It looks now that the Confederate Veterans will not have a fair showing in the approaching de monstrations in honor of the . north's greatest soldier, for such, we take it, is the estimate in the north of General Grant. : This is J.897 thirty-two years after the war and with thirty-two 1 years, of peace. General John B. Gor don, of Georgia, is the head of the United Confederate Veterans. He has not been invited to be present or to participate, and such is reported to be the case with other southern leaders in the great war. This treatment will not make New -York city less unpopular nor draw the south more towards the north. We would like to see a differ ent conduct prevailing. General Grant ' had more magnanimity than .most of the federal generals. He had a great- er desire for .peace and reconciliation of the sections than'' any real leader in the north. In Lincoln the south had its truest friend, -himself of southern birth, than in any man in the trium- , phant north. Perhaps Grant! stood nearest to Lincoln in this respect. Gen eral Grant behaved well at Appomattox and showed his manhood and regard for a soldier's pledge, when he unbuck led his sword at a cabinet meeting and ' laid-it upon the table; saying, that-if the terms he had, made with General Lee were disregarded, he would resign from the army and appeal to the Amer ican people. This. .was soon after the war," and years before he became pres ident. ; The Messenger, in memory of these things so crditable to General .Grant, every way, would like to see confed- erates join in ' paying honors to the memory of the victorious chieftain. , the most conspicuous of northern born soldiers. But this ought to be done' without any surrender of self-respect, . without . submitting to contumely or reproach or - deliberate slight.. The Richmond Dispatch has this in the way of rumor.-or information: "The extension of an invitation to General Gordon and others will not do away with the fact that up to this time the New York committee has not approached the commander of the United Confederate Veterans with a view to having in the parade a thor oughly representative body of ex-confederates and sons of ex-confederates. We have no 'inside' information upon the subject all that we know comes from the newspapers but if General Gordon has ever been asked to take charge of the arrangements for mus tering our veterans on the occasion In question, we have not heard of it." TO CUKE A COLD IN ONK DAY. 1 Take Laxative Bromo (Quinine Tab- lets. I All druggists refund the paoney rnor. If It fails to cure. 25c ; LITERARY GOSSIP, Nan sen's "Record of a Voyage of Exploration': is clearly the 'book of years. It la admitted iby ell the critics Whose reviews and notes we have seen that it 13 a work of intense Interest, of entrancing reality and more fascinat ing than a novel. It Is "conceded that as a writer Dr. Nausea, is a; pronounc ed success, 'and that his tart Is excel lent. He kriows how to draw out to Its fullest extent the Interest of his read ers. Alas! the work is In two large oc tavos, price $10, and tout few compara tively can read it. And yet already 40,000 copies have been sold in rich England, in the north -where the mil lions abound the price will hardly curtail its" reading. The London Times cays of the book that "it' is not too much to say that It is a xnasteiiplece of storytelling." : - A big sale of Bunyan's Immortal "Pilgrim's Progress", is reported from Boston. This Was caused by a mistake. The teacher of history recommended it thinking' It concerned the "Pilgrim' fathers who landed and settled Massa chusetts. "The Bookman" reports this interesting case of advanced learning. We are gratified to have met recnt- ly with many Indications among mag azine' and critical writers . that the Swinburne opinkm of yron is not gen erally accepted as correct that the ef fort to create an opinion that Byron was not a great poet has failed of Its end. Some writers deliver judgment that way, but they imitate Swin burne, a genius of erratic Judgment If of superb gifts. There are some sen sible, just remarks in the April num ber of "The Bookman" relative to By ron. It recognizes that about 1865, a tide ofjihpopularlty oe to the English man set In. It became a fad. But all over the English reading world of let ters there were cultured men who knew the real gifts of Byron, and that he was a. jn aster among the foremost- men of his times. ?Tha Bookman" saya that "his title to rank among the great est poets of the century remains still unassailed, but he is respectfully neg lected." We have seen from English and American sources highly deprecia tory references to Byron. As we said, the poet -Swinburne set the fashion Even Andrew Lang confesses he does not like Byron. But he also confesses he does not like other world-famous authors. .We recall easily that Words worth and Scott and Keats and Tenny son and .Browning have .been severely criticised and rejected as poets of high gifts. (But no such judgments can "bear examination. The concensus of the hest minds and truest interpreters of poetry is too strong for mental ' vagaries or defective tastes. We make a quotation that We think judicious from "The Bookman." It says: "But Byronism will soon he forgot ten, and then Byron will resume his place. Wef shall condone his eccentric ities as we "do Shakespeare's, and see nothing to sneer at in them, but much to admire. His poetry we shall all have to read, because it is so strong and sound) and satisfying." Let us never-forget, too, that Byron, like his quasi-rival Scott (their names should always be associated), wrote as an ameteur, wrote too much, and wrote too rapidly. Thus they both lost sadly in poise and finish, graces by -which we now set great store; but they gained vastly in qualities Which we value less highly in -force, In individuality and in pictutesqueness." In another place the same writer says of great Sir Walter, whose praises we wish to be always singing, that he is neither "modern" nor "old fashion ed, and adds: Sir Walter's poems be tray no date at all save that of their subject. They re broad-based on foundations almost indestructible In their humanity and patriotic love .of the soil. They are made to wear, and will remaiif evergreen when far more ambitious poetry has faded." We would regard any inan.who pretends to relish poetry jas extremely -unfortunate if he could not Tead with positive delight Scott's two masterpieces "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" (his best) and "The Lady of. the Lake." There are people now living, fairly educated, writers of some reputation, even with names In current literature, who like Mr. Wil Ham 'Howells, cannot read Scottfe great Scotch novels.. They need thji$sincere sympathy- of their fellow quill-drivers. - HOME FOLKS. . Before us - is number two of The Journal, the new daily at Winston. It is neatly printed and arranged, : be gins well, .has evidently brains back of it,' is a seven column paper to the page, terms $5 a year or 50 cents a month, and is certainly a creditable daily. It is published, by a company, but no names are given. The Messenger sends its welcome and good wishes for suc cess, and usefulness.. It is democratic, which is important. We see mentioned in a Northern ex change,, that Mr. Duke, of New York, of the cigarette trust, testified before the "committee that he had never smok ed a cigarette in his life. He is too cautious to take his own physic. The Reidsville Weekly says: "That the cigarette is more danger ous than any other form of tobacco is" shown by the action taken against it in various states. The following clip pings, show the current of popular-judgment on the subject: "Alabama is waging relentless war nn the cigarette. One branch of the legis lature nas prohibited their sale or giv ing away .nd the other house and the governor favor the bill." We think it was Judge Sutton who stated in the legislature not long since, that he had ascertained that about 200 people were killed each year in North Carolina by smoking cigarettes. t 1 SNAPS. The crisis in the east appears to be at hand. Fighting is going on. and the ame Greeks are more resolved than ever. . The northern newspapers, continue to speak of Mr. Gladstone and his bicycle. His son contradicted the report as to his father's learning to ride, &c, but the lie moves on. , We wish we could see a fair appraise ment of McKinleyJs appointees to date. If he'is measuring up inhis selections ior ine important places it is more than we are prepared at present to believe. i Bryan in Washington is the centre of much attraction. He is admittedly a man of great and many attractions. Evidence abounds that he .is a noble, simple, manly man gracious, urbane, genuine. McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, a goldbug, has made a great discovery ""that government has nothing to do .with the prosperity of the people gov erned." He is a fine lecturer on econo mics and common sense politics. ; ; The old idea was that the modern Greeks did not speak or write the old Greek. But this seems to' be better understood now. Another Idea pre vails that the Greeks of today are de scendants of the Greeks of antiquity of the blood. But "The Bookman" ' " -A puts another face on this and says that the alleged Greeks of today are not really Greeks at all, but a hybrid com bination of Slav, Turk, and sundry "other ethnic strains." Is that correct? We learn from the Richmond Dispatch that Professor William P. Trent, of the Episcopal University of the South, is a native of that city and is about thirty years of age.. He has made considera ble reputation by his, two books and occasional essays ' in the , northern magazines. - - The situation in the flooded district becomes more anxious and distressing daily. The rivers are rising still and the already vast losses are increasing. It is reported that 50,000 people are helpless and foodless. Now is the op portunity for speedy and most mag nanimous help. Sympathy alone will not feed or relieve. WHAT COMMERCIAL MEN SAY OF THE TARIFF. Let the senate 'be faithful to the pec pie in the tariff fight. Let it not pas3 a (bill so drastic, so one-sided, so over ruling with blunders and defects. The people at large do 'not want this monster of iniquity fastened upon them. Do you not hear the thunder al ready giving token of a coming storm? Look at the people's .voice as it has been heard tn frequent elections this year and quite, recently too. The Mc-Ktnley-Dingley bill of , abortion and abomination is disturbing the country now from Maine to Florida, from ocean to ocean. Some of the leading mug wump and independent northern news papers of ability and influence, are op posing strongly this infamous at tempt; to freshly rob the people. The Boston Herald, The New York Times, New York Evening Post, New York Journal of Commerce all supporters of McKinley last year and The Phila delphia Record and Times both Mc Kinley sheets, and The Ledger, j mild--ly republican, are all against the' mon ster tariff tax bill now in the senate. These papers ace showing up the wick edness and absurditiesof therobberbill. They charge treachery upon McKinley, but we do not see it. That little man had signalized himself as the supple Instrument of the money power in, the past. Look at his high robber tariff. But it was quite a baby to the huge thing now under fire in the .senate. The New Tork Journal of Commerce we do not see, but see it quoted from. It is reported as saying that " the tariff never seemed more of a political question than it. is today; that the 'Dingley bill carries rates of duty high beyond all precedent . or necessity, and that under cover, of the, demand for more revenue to pay the legacy of ex aggerated expenses of government in herited from the Harrison regime, pro visions absolutely destructive of any possibility of revenue have been insert ed in the bill." This, mark you, is the arraignment of a leading commercial organ of the greatest commercial city. It is the indignant condemnation, not of a democrat or of a Bryan organ, but of the great conglomerate that defeated Bryan and installed Hanna's little man from Ohio. This denunciation of the bill, following the opposition of The New York chamber of. commerce, is a. clear Tiote-'from. the very centre of money thatJa robber tariff is the thing needed now-. The business men at least do not favor the passage of such, a terrible and exorbitant -measure Of taxation as that proposed. That is really the impression of the great city on this vile, drastic measure. . There is another aspect that it is well to note. The effort has. been made for months now "by the partisan or gans of McKinley; to try to make it appear that the cause of the financial' troubles were all to be .laid at the feet of the Wilson (democratic) protection bill. Whatever the defects of that un fortunate, hybrid bill, it is not respon sible for but little of the real trouble that has long existed, and that nOw hangs as an incubus upon the energies and the prosperity of the country. The Journal of Commerce evidently sees this and it says: "No very large body of voters is de ceived by the audacious pretext that reduced customs duties were the cause of . the hard times, and the proportion is still smaller who are ready to ac cept the fanatical assurance that a re turn to a system of high duties is all that . is needed for the restoration of prosperity. There Is very real danger that under such a measure as the Ding- ley -Din we may neitner nave more rev enue nor 'bettej- business. The ordinary man is 'beginning to perceive that as clearly as the expert, and the protest of business men against this contem plated act of legislative folly is thus very likely to be echoed with a quite unexpected degree of vigor." : . Can the United States senate afford to fasten such a dreadful measure of inequality and oppression upon this great republic? Before taking that fa tal step it should deliberate long and patiently. - WHAT'S THE MATTER IN OHIO ? A dispatch from Ohio announces that in the recent municipal elections just held in that state, the democrats gained veryr largely. It was the large cities in' that state which gave McKinley such enormous pluralities last November and secured its electoral vote for him. They have how gone democratic which means that there has been a great re action out there and that democratic prospects have greatly improved. The democracy seems to have swept every thing; even the home of President Mc Kinley reversed its' usual republican majority-and went for. the democrats. Pretty good for a dead party, certainly.

She could not tell who did it, and hence the guilty persons have not been ar rested. Norfolk Dispatch, April 3d. PUBLIC OPINION. ' Ex-Senator Edmunds gives his opin ion that the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court applies to labor organizations as well as to railway pools. If that-' be so the anti trust law has an unexpected bearing and prohibits agreements hy associa tions of working men to control the pCice paid , for . labor. Laws that reg ulate business contracts will necessari ly touch upon delicate ground and dis cover difficulties that the farmers did not anticipate. Troy Times. The Constitution has always been of the opinion that men who know how to manage railroads are amply able to take care of their properties without entering into combinations and pools calculated to excite public prejudice, and at a heavy cost which must ul timately come out of the pockets of the people, the consumers. While it la true that these combinations' have been more skilfully operated during the past few years than formerly, it is; equally -true that the science of indus trial railway management has -made rapid .. strides. The more important, railway properties are no longer in the hands of men practically ignorant of their responsibilities and reckless of all' results of rate cutting. Atlanta Con stitution. , - - i-; The utterances of both friends and foes of the pending arbitration treaty With Great Britain afford a curious study of vain hopes and groundless fears. Ratify the treaty, say the for mer, and war and danger of war will be abolished between the two great Anglo-Saxon Powers. But , it would not ibe So. Do not ratify the treaty, cry the latter lest by so doing - thje hands of this nation be, fettered to ifcs" great, perhaps fatal, disadvantage.- But neither would that 'be so. The treaty, in its original or in its amended form, would not give absolute immu nity from war, and it would not place this nation at a disadvantage by ham pering its liberty Of action. So far as those two ends are concerned, it would perhaps be worth the. paper it is writ ten on; surely not much more. 'New York Tribune. . Europe is suffering " just now from the individuality, rather than from the policy, of the German Emperor. He is displaying a character with which It is most difficult for diplomatists , to deal, and which is not entirely consis tent with his earlier career. The habit of ruling, and the success, or rather the absence of resistance, which in internal affairs has so far dis tinguished his reign, have de veloped the emperor's . peculiarities in a most marked degree. He had al ways a sufficient belief in himself, "as he showed in his dismissal of Prince Bismark, but of late this belief has be come exaggerated into a confidence scarcely to be distinguished from pre sumption. He seems capable of thank ing God for a great harvest, and send ing Him the Order of the Red Eagle in acknowledgement. London bpec tator, The inauguration, on January 27, of Edwin Anderson Alderman as presi dent of the University of North Car olina was an occasion of unusual im portance and interest. The enthusiasm that prevailed was most significant, because for some time past a group Of sectarian busy-bodies had been going up and down the state at tacking the university as a godless and unnecessary institution, and en deavoring to divert its state appropri ation to other purposes. The incon ceivable narrowness and folly Of such a movement had not prevented it from making- some headway; but the ex ercises of President Alderman's inaug uration, his own lofty and cogent ad dress, the cordial support of the influ ential newspaper press and of leading public men of the state are emphatic, assurance that the crusade of hjgotry and,- pettiness has exhausted itself.
