Conspicuous loyaltv; to Party Seems to find very -little reward, at the hands of the dispensers of patronage. If a man is accustomed to taKe nis republicanism mixed, or if it is of very recent date, his chances are infinitely better 'than those of a life long republican. Hickory Press, rep. Governor Russell'sspeeeh at the agricul tural and mechanical college is described as being one of his characteristic attacks on existing conditions, it , Kussell would only stand on his fhead awhile and let his feet do the thinking. North Carolina would have something to sing praises for. -Salisbury World. AVith the unprecedented record of par doned criminals on the part of Governor Kussell: with the lniectlon of politics Into our educational institutions, aa evidenced in the turning out of part of the faculty of the agricultural and mechanical col lege, and aa further evidenced in the at tempt to eject the officers of the charita ble institutions (happily frustrated by the uprightness of our Judges); with the dec laration by a member of the state board of agriculture that it Is the purpose of the pie hunters to abolish all offices they haven't got the ability to fill, etc., etc. should there be any doubt in the minds I' of democrats as what the Issues shall be in the next state campaign? Charlotte Observer. But Russell and his pie brigade have invaded the school and turned out some of the best teachers in the school, and will doubtless turn out more as they can make it convenient to do so. ' In not a single Instance have they put in a better man than they put out. E. G. Butler, of Vance county, who was elected a, profes sor in the college, is not only seemingly incompetent, but has a record of having been convicted or traua in settling up the estate of a relative in 1S85, in Granville county. Even respectable republicans are disgusted with "Russell's looters, and one of them, Mr. E. V. Cox. ot Pitt county, has resigned from the board of trustees. being disgusted at placing politics in an educational institution. At least two other members of the board will resign within the next few days, and Russell can do as he pleases with less opposition. Educational and charitable institutions should not be made the prey of politicians and spoiLs hunters. The radical party in North Carolina has let politics control Jts government. Kinston Free Press. Rheumatism Cured in a Day. "Mystic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures In 1 to 3 days. Its action upon the system is remark able and mysterious. It removes at once the cause and the disease immedi ately disappears. The first dose greatr ly benefits. - T. F.

DIOJT Weakened One Man's Constitution Until It Brought Him to Death's Door. Mr. James S. Harrison, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Cleve land, O., was for years a sufferer from dyspepsia and general debility, and in t; - 1 i i . - nis weaKenea condition, resulting' irom the above causes, he had the additional ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from this complication of disorders.

Mor ganton and Baltimore peoDle are Inter ested. Burgaw Star: The farmers in this sec tion report the crops in unusually fine condition for this season of the year, and that they have sufficient rain for the present. First Lieutenant Thad. B. Seigle, Com pany G, Second regiment (Hornet's Nest Riflemen), having- served over ten years, is placed on the retired list of the officers of the North Carolina state guard. The Courier says the Haywood county' commissioners declined to levy the spe cial tax provided for by the new road law, claiming that the legislature ex ceeded its constitutional authority in attempting to compel the county to levy such tax. Lumberton Robesonian: There is some talk of establishing an oil mill at Clio. Rowland, Laurinburg, Bennettsville and several other places in this section also have one each. The protracted meeting at the Baptist church closed on Sunday night. Rev. J. A. Smith, of Pair Bluff, who conducted the meeting for Pastor Booth, preached some exceedingly strong sermons. Durham Sun: Major W. A. Guthrie is home from a trip to Philadelphia, Pa. The major brings back some good news with him. He learned from B. Lennig, presi dent of the Durham and Charlotte rail road, that a corps of surveyors would begin work making a survey of the line between Gulf and Durham this week. They will start on this end of the line at Gulf and work towards Durham. Kinston Free Press: There was not near so much truck planted around Kins-, ton this season as usual, but good prices were received for most of the shipments and the truck planters made a profit on their crops. Our largest trucker, Mr. J. W. Grainger, has done nicely. He still has thirty or forty acres of potatoes to dig, the most of which he will get off this week. He dug seven acres recently that made forty-six acres per barrel. New Bern Journal: Yesterday was the hottest day of the season here, the tem perature touching 95 degrees. The schooner J. P. Moore, Captain Joe Sabis ton, arrived at Beaufort Monday with the body of a young, unknown white man. picked up at sea off Hatteras. From all appearances tne untortunate was of good family and about 18 years of age. He -was handsomely dressed, and in one of the pockets of his clothing was found' a gold watch which was still running. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC. PUBLIC OPINIO!?. It is doubtful, however, whether the popilar sentiment in favor of annexa tion has not weakened in the last three years. There is a better understanding of the actual status of affairs. . The heavy preponderance of. undesirable elements in the popnlation of the is lands, which we can neither assimilate with safety nor reject without offense to Japan and China, causes hesitation. Our own theories of the right of self government cannot be adjusted to pre sent Hawaiian conditions when there is no such thing as self-government. Philadelphfa Record. If the banks are able to maintain gold payments now, why do they, not give, the country some evidence of it, and thereby relieve "the treasury's re demption machinery" frOm "the repeat ed danger to which it has been subject ed?" But the opportunity of the banks has gone by. If they could have main tained. gold payments they would have done so during the past four years; and if they had done so, there is hard ly a reasonable plan of reform they could offer that the people would not have indorsed. But the history of these four years, written in the poverty and misery of a betrayed people, shows that the banks not only refused to maintain gold payments, but joined actively in the raids on the treasury. Atlanta Constitution. , In. the person of Mr. Henry Jerome Stockard, the Wilmington (N. C.) Mes senger claims to have found a true poet In a recent issue it gives an extended critical review of his work, which it praises very highly, especially Mr. Stockard's sonnets, some of which the Messenger regards as worthy to rank with the best examples of that difficult form of verse. A small volume of Mr. Stockard's poems has been published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, of which The Messenger says: "It can be read in an hour or two, unless you are so -drawn to it as to dwell in rapture upon this page or that, or to ponder with delight this line or that hought, or a stanza of un line or that thought, or a stanza of un small . volume the genuine poetic stuff, then we are incapable of poetic taste and perception." Although we have not seen Mr. Stockard's volume, we are sure that it merits all the praise that The Messenger gives it, and North Car olinians have reason to' be proud of his genius. Mr. Stockard is still a young man, and his future will be watched with interest. Richmond Dispatch.

The New York 8toc Market, New York, June 18. There were evi dences today of marked strength in the market for securities, and the level of prices was, at times, materially above yes terday's close. Some stocks held a net advance until the close of the market but some prominent shares sold off tQ yes-i terday's close or below it before the con elusion of the day's trading. The gran gers were an example. Very marked strength was developed in some conspicu ous cases, due to special causes, and this was a sustaining factor in the market. But powerful professional traders are op erating on the conviction that a general reaction is due or overdue in the market and they are watchful to take profits or to join the short side. London buying and good crop reports were against this ele ment today, as was the general outlook for business and the aggressive strength of special stocks; but they found an ef fective instrument in the apprehension due to the sharp stiffening in the sterling exchange market and the announcement of gold exports $350,000 for tomorrow and $500,000 for next Tuesday. The special de mand for exchange- is said to be due to July remittances for dividends and in terest payments on securities held abroad and for other half yearly payments. The statement of the week's imports of dry goods at New York shows them to be valued at $3,389,102, an increase of $434, 775 over last week. This foreshadows an increase in the imports of general mer chandise also, as has been indicated by the larger receipts from customs by the United States treasury, as reported from day to day. Imports of non-dutiable ar ticles, such as wool, continue heavy. Al though London has bought stocks here today, sales for London account have been quite large during the week. These facts are all harped on by the bears as in dicating that the outgoing gold movement is likely to continue for some time yet. The dealings were somewhat better dis tributed today. Although the volume of dealings in Sugar, Chicago Gas. St. Paul and Burlington was far in excess of that in any other stock, the number of stocks in which 1,000 shares or over' were sold showed an increase, and many inactive stocks were stirred. In the railway list Missouri Pacific scored the extreme ad vance of 1 per cent., and reacted . Net changes in the railroads were small either way, some showing gains and some losses. Western Union and Manhattan were also quite strong, the former selling ex-dividend and both held practically all the advance. The total sales of stocks today were 249,903 shares, including American 'Sugar 50,000, Burlington and Quincy 17.600; Chi cago Gas 25,000, Missouri Pacific 5.200; Northern Pacific preferred 5,900, Rock Island 7,200, St. Paul 21,100. Tennessee Coal and Iron 8,100, Western Union 9.000, 'New Jersey Central 5,300. The bond market displayed a broadening tendency, and general improvements were registered in the more prominent issues. Profit-taking was discernible in some of the speculative lines, but the offerings were well ab sorbed and a higher range of values .es tabished. Standard Rope 6's were notably heavy and yielded 2 per cent, to 65. The aggregate sales were $1,894,000. Govern ment bonds hardened slightly on .light purchases. The sales were $6,000. Cotton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, June IS. The undertone of the cotton market was good today this, too, in spite of continued splendid growing weather in the south. There was no ces sation in the good spot business in Liver pool, and this feature was largely respon sible for our strength. The market there was -64d higher this morning. Our open ing was from unchanged prices to 2 points up, August selling on the first call at 7.27. 'After the opening the market be came easy, August declining to 7.24; but the disinclination of operators to sell short was marked, and when, in the af ternoon, one house bought heavily, the local shorts became nervous and covered freely. August advanced to 7.29 and closed at 7.29 to 7.30. with the tone of the market firm. The improvement to general "business was emphasized today by cheer ful advances from manufacturing centers. The demand for spot cotton is the chief contributor to the small advance. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, June 18. The phases of the cotton market were'generally more favor able than for some time past. The market overcame an early loss of 2 to 4 points and closed firm at a net gain of 4 to 6 points. Favorable news was received from New England, indicating that four or more of the important cotton mills, name ly, the Amoskeag, the Armory, Jefferson and Stark, together employing between 14,000 and 15,000 hands, will run on full time, and not stop even for the usual June vacation schedule. This is the first time that these mills have kept running through the summer in four years. The fact that the Liverpool cotton market will be closed next Monday and Tuesday partially explained the afternoon rise, as shorts were disposed to cover. The mar ket was further stimulated on the Fall River reports, indicating a good demand for cloths and a repetition of former bids for round lots of odd goods which manu facturers refuse. Crop news was mainly favorable, but as the statistical situation is steadily gaining strength, sellers ex ercise increasing caution. The New York cotton exchange, it is expected, will be closed Saturday, July 3rd. A petition to that end has been largely signed and a meeting will be held to consider the sub ject Monday at 12 o'clock- The Chicago Markets. Chicago, June 18. Wheat had several changes of feeling today. The first and last were bullish, the market closing with a c to c advance. Rumors of July manipulation, which were freely circu lated a few days ago, were again rife to day and scared the shorts to cover. Corn followed .wheat, closing c higher, Oats closed a shade lower, provisions ex hibited decided weakness and showed closing declines ranging from 5 to 17c.

DUN & CO.'S REPORT The Gain In Business Clearer Than a Weak ago Industrial Trade ImprovingHeavy Business In Iron Heavy, Foreign Bay log of Corn Improvement In Cotton Goods. New Yqfk, June 18. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review'of trade tomorrow will say: ' . " The retarding influence, of cold and unseasonable weather has passed.,- The gain in .business in spite of it, which was seen a week ago, has become clear er to 'all. As no genuine improvement ever begins with an uplifting of prices before the producing force has become fairly employed, this does not, and the buying of 7,000 bales of Australian wool by one Boston house, and 100,000 tons of pig iron by a Wall street oper ator and (advancing prices for stocks, are only proof that the actual condi tions are understood by some capable men. There i3 evidence of gradually enlarging business in every important department. More establishments have been set at work and more hands em ployed, and while prudence still hinders speculative excesses, the progress to ward better things is Unchecked. , Re ports from the various cities this week show a very general progress and a corv- tinuing large distribution through re tail trade. The proof is clearer, as it she d be, in the industrial than in the tiadlng field. Contracts providing for con sumption 1 of !7, 000. 000 tons of iron ore have already been made, 2,000,000 with in the past fortnight, it is believed, though last year's contracts only termi nated about two months ago. Bessemer ore is selling lower by 20 to 30 cents than at the outset, but the heavy de mand puts additional mines at work. The speculative purchase of 100,000 tons of southern pig at $5.75 clears the deck for a larger business at better figures and sales at Chicago 150,00 tons have been the largest for eighteen months. Reaction after the sudden purchase of 50,000 tons Bessemer at Pittsburg leaves the price $9.50 per ton, but the heavy orders for bars there and for 50,000 tons at Chicago, mainly from implement makers, with orders for many new buildings at the west, 'one of magni tude at Philadelphia and several at New York, the larger demand for plates and sheets, the order for twenty-two miles of pipe and the purchases of steel rails which have started the new Joliet works with good orders are far more important than1 the speculation in ma terials. Coke production has increased 2,500 tons, nearly 2 per cent., without change in nrice. The demand for print cloths, for the first time in many months, has exceed ed the week's production, and the price has risen a shade, while prints and other grades of cotton goods are in slightly better demand. There is a more widely distributed business in woolens than was expected. Clothiers are buying, and as they come late, are in haste,- , Some eastern mills have been in the mifrket, but the bulk of the purchases of wool has again been by speculative houses at Boston, where almost 10,- 000,000 pounds were sold against 6,551,300 at New York and Philadelphia. West ern operators -still pay more than east ern prices warrant. In products markets the year draws toward a close with slightly stronger prices for corn, owing to heavy foreign buying, and in cotton owing to a better foreign demand, notwithstanding more encouraging crop reports. Nobody can count balesin June, but the outlook is so far favorable that few make large ventures against the yield exceeding 9,000,000 bales. Wheat was hoisted nearly 2 cents, but fell about as much, closing cent higher for the week, In spite of reduced western receipts and Atlantic exports. In two weeks of June Atlantic exports of wheat and flour have been equal to 4,977,653 bush els, against 6,210,823 last year. Failures for the week have been 198 in the United States, against 276. last year and 36 in Canada, aginst 28 last year. ' , ; : Condensed Testimony. Chas. B.

Death of Niagara Falls Fifteen hundred years ago the ter restrial movements raised the Johnson barrier to the Erie basin so high that thewaters of that lake reached not merely the level of Lake Michigan, but the point of turning all the water of the upper lakes into the Mississippi drainage by way of Chicago. But the fall were then cutting hrough the ridge, and when this was accomplished, before the change of drainage was completed, the surface of Lake Erie was suddenly lowered by many feet. and thus the falls were re-established for some time longer. Slowly, year by year, one sees the catarack wearing back and suggesting the time when the river will be turned into a series of rapids; but another si lent cause is at work, and not one easily seen namely, the effects of the changing of level of the. earth's crust. From the computations already refer red to it was found that for the first twenty-four thousand years of the life of the river only the Erie waters flowed by way of the Niagra river, and for only eight thousand years have all the waters of the upper lakes been feeding the falls. If the terrestrial movements continue as at present, and there ap pears no reason to doubt it. for the continent was formerly vastly higher than now, then in about five thousand years the rim of the Erie basin prom,-! ises to be raised so high tha all the waters of the upper lakes wi flow out by way of the Chicago canal. Thus ihe duration ot JNiagara aiis win nave con tinued about thirty-seven years. But the lakes will endure beyond the cal culations of the boldest horologisi. Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.

Retrenchment, Not More Taxes As the governor suggested in his mes sage to the legislature on Monday eve ning, this state is not suffering from a deficiency of revenue, but from a su perabundance of expenditure. Instead of devising ways and means to increase the income of the state which can be done only by taxing the people the legislature should apply itself to the discovery of some method whereby the drain upon the state's rev enues may be lessened. It is preposter ous o hold that the present revenues of this state are not more than ad epuate for all legitimate purposes. And it is equally preposterous to hold that all money spent has gone into le gitimate channels of expenditure, even though each disbursement was made with legislative or other official sanc tion Extravagance, to give it no harsher term, has depleted the state treasury. During the years when citizens of the state were compelled to observe the closest economy to enjoy bare neces saries of life, when wages were re duced from one end of the state to the other, when thousands of men Avere de prived of steady employment, the legis lature created new offices with fat sal aries and increased salaries of persons already in office; and the greatest li cense obtained in expenditures for pur chases for the state or for state's ac count. The depletion of the treasury Is the natural result, and the legislature now seeks to make the people pay the piper, and seeks nothing else, instead of cut ting off unnecessary offices and em ployes, and reducing the extravagant wages of those who remain on the sal ary list. Harrlsburg Patriot, (Dem.) How Nature Cares Dr. Emmet Densmore, in a work re cently published under the title "How Nature Cures," asserts" at the start that health is man's birthday. It is as natural to be well as to be born. All pathological conditions, all diseases and all tendencies to disease are the result of the transgression of physiolo gic and hygienic law. This is the science of health in a nutshell as set forth by the writer in question. The doctor assumes that a tendency toward abounding health and vigor is insepa rable from life, and that as soon as the conditions natural to the organism are restored a movement toward health is certain to follow. He defines the law of cure as the unfailing tendency on the aprt of the organism towards health. The main requisite for health growth, t qmote from Dr. Densmore after the required temperament, light and air "is nutrition; hence a breakdown in diet than all other causes put together. Errors in diet are divided into two general classes: 1 The use of food unsuited to the organism. 2 The par taking of food in quantities greatly in excess of the needs of the system." On experience and reasonings connect ed with these fundamentls rest the conclusion against the use of starchy foods. It is further shown that the na tural average period of human life is at least 100 years, which is abbrevia ted to the present short average span by ignorant or reckless transgressions of the laws of nutrition and health.
