Pennsylvania $3 twrestiing with its enormous expenses fnd deficit. New York is 'always in trou ble, and among its sorrows is that cap titol building at Albany that has already ost twice as much as the splendid na tional capitol at Washington. Several western stdtes are in great distress over their corrjjpt, trading legislatures. Massachusetts is mainly disturbed by that "nigger In the wood pile." North Carolina is at present vexed by fruits of the stupids who flourished for sixty days at Raleigh, andfleeing to the woods left behind their noisome odors and blighted curse. Georgia's problem Is the penitentiary convicts and the lease question. It has some 2S-00 convicts, mostly blacks, and the lease business has not worked right and has no friends. Some change is to be made but what? That is the question for Geor. gians to consider. Public sentiment de mands the discontinuance of leasing out the black rascals, but (what to sub stitute to make them earn thir liv ing Is the serious question t he tack led. The idea is now prevailing that close confinement fn idleness breeds di sease, physical, mental and moral. The Washington Post says that "recent experience in New . York has shown that it is a fruitful source of insanity, insubordination, disease, and death. Public sentiment is opposed to the em ployment of convicts on -e work that competes with the labor of law-abiding citizens, and this fact makes the solution of the convict labor problem one of the most difficult and trouble some questions with which! our state governments have to deal." A .The question of self-supporting is of great imoprtance, else the scoundrels continue to live off honest labor, and to burden the tax-payers. The people outside do not like the idea of rascals inside working at trades to interfere with their profits to have in the convicts competing rivals, v So the former sys tem has grown into active disrepute. What then? The North Carolina way is the best we have heard of, and yet not without some objectionable fea ture or features It is to put the ras cals to work upon leased farms, upon the public works, when there are any, upon road building, and working in phosphate works or something of the kind. Of course their earning come in competition with "honest labor." What they save to the state would have to be bought outside of the people's la bor, and In this way it lessens sales and creates a rivalry. But it is a nec essary evil. The rascals do not stop their rascalities, crime is on the steady increase, rogues and malifactors will still break into the penitentiary. They must be clothed and fed at public cost, it will not do says science, to let them be idle, non-producers, and so the only .way thus far hit upon, attended with the least injustice and wrong, is the one adopted in North Carolina. In Georgia, the pten suggested Js to put the army of convicts to cleaning out the rivers and creeks. The At lanta Journal says that the "loss which is caused every year by floods is great, and that there is undoubtedly much truth in the theory that they are often caused and always increased by the clogging ' of the beds of rivers and creeks by accidental obstructions." This would only give employment for a part of the year, but it would be profitable to the state. The plan dt working the convicts on the public roads has often been considered " in North Carolina. There can be no ob jection to this kind of labor. The Post says: "This country has come, at length, to the good roads era. It has been long delayed and its postponement' has been costly. During the next twenty years hundreds of millions will be expended in building country roaas, and the resulting increase in the-value of property will more than offset the outlay. It will be equally beneficial to the farmers and the merchants, to the producers 'and the consumers. In a number of states this great work is now being done, and it could be in progress in all the rest if their law . makers would set the convicts about it." If we are not laboring under a wrong - impression road building by convicts has been resorted to successfully tc some extent in North Carolina. It is perhaps more profitable to the state for the time to work, them on great Roanonke plantations, but in the end the road building might prove of the greatest -service to the state. For the first time in the historjr of our state the convicts were made self-supporting, and even more, we think, for one or more years, on the Roanoke farms. North Carolina very greatly needs good country roads. With the exception of a few miles its roads are disgraceful, and la great tax upon travellers and farmers. Improve them. Massachu setts appropriates $800,000 this year to road buildings. But that state Is 'very rich and has the money. , HOME FOLKS. So Marion Butler has not only kissed and made up with his old enemy he hounded so unmercifully, Jeter Pritch ard, of Tennessee, but he has also suc ceeded in getting a chance at the state treasury in the matter of public print ing. Of all cunning fellows -we incline to place Marion in th lead. Iago nev er saw the day whei he was so re sourceful "in ways that are dark." - It is plainly admitted by the radical trustees" oT'the-AsilciUjral and Me chanical college that Professor was dismissed without any fault only he was a democrat. That is a fine ob jection to a. meritorious teacher. The surest possible way to arouse a strong public sentiment hostile to taxation for the state system of education is to turn them all into political factories for the regard of starving henchmen and ig- "PANOPLIED IN TRUTH.' A half truth about any thing is al ways misleadg. It is mo?e than that it is deceptive and Injurious ' The plain, unvarnished truth Is forever de sirable. The highest eulogium that the great English Laureate could bestow on the" Duke of "Wellington, in his noble and most admirable Ode, was that he was "truth lover" and "truth teller." It is indeed a great thing to say of any of the fallen race that he sought the truth, held to it with invincible tenac ity of purpose, and spoke It thus "shaming the devil" and all his unfor tunate, supple followers. "I will follow thee with truth and loyalty." What can be better? Some one in some excellent lines often quoted as to what "a time like this demands" has among other most needed qualities ' "true faith." He says the men needed are "men who love honor; men who will not lie." A great many authors have celebrated the Importance and beauty of truth. The great standard writers are full of 1t Dr. Sam Johnson was a scrupulous talker and a close observ er. He said that "you do not know where deviation from truth will end." The illustrious Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam (wrongly called Lord Bacon) held that it was "certainly Heaven up on earth" for "a man's mind" to "turn upon the poles of truth. Another wise man of Europe, Casaubon. said that "truth is the foundation of all knowl edge" as it surely is of character. The greatest of Englishmen, Shakespeare and Milton, have written grandly of truth, but we may not quote at length. Shakespeare said that "truth needs no color." Now what the 'great writers and thinkers have said concerning truth Is of the whole truth and not of partial or half truth. There is an old Latin saw perhaps two thousand years old that "there is no doctrine so false as not to contain in it some truth." Even the principles of the populists contain somj& grains of truth mixed with its bushels of error. And so with the principles of the republicans they are not all bad, vicious," destructive. They do now and then hold to a truth and favor a right principle. It is not their general way be it said. The opposite is true that the results of their prin ciples applied to government are very unfortunate, baleful, injurious. This country has been for the most part brought to its present prostrate condi tion by the bad laws enacted by the republican party since it went into power in March 1861. They have dealt in half truths which are apt to be laJse and hurtful. The courts of North -Carolina as of England require witnesses "to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

To xis one of the staggering events of this extra session of the congress is Senator Morgan voting against Sen ator PettigTew's antitrust law. We would not have been much more sur prised if . the great Alabama senator had voted for the. gold standard only in the face of his Tecord and his many very able speeches against it. That amendment offered by 'Mr. Pettlgrew deserved the support surely of every democrat, and indeed of every honest; true man In the' senate. How so able, so experienced, so sound a democrat heretofore as Senator Morgan could have voted with the republicans against the anti-trust amendment will be a puzzle to us hereafter. It was every way a proper, a wise amendment. and sought to do good, and would (have done good. We "believe there were tout two other democrats who voted with the enemy. It surely appealed to all men who were enemies of the Infernal thing called "a trust," and to all who were of the people and for the people. It will, give trouble to all Who opposed it, and It must lessen Mr. Morgan's popularity at home unless the Alaba mians are forgetful of their own, ln terests and ignorant of the evils' of the trust power. The amendment empha sized a great mistinotion a tariff for protection, favoring a giant system of oppression and monopoly, and a sys tern of protection for all classes. It was a strike at a tariff tax for monop oly. The able Philadelphia American has discussed the amendment ait much length and with its usual clearness and force. We avail ourselves of a few sen tences: "Yet it is an amendment in no way destructive of the 'tariff as a revenue or protective measure; it would be de structive of the tariff only so far as it is a measure of oppression, and such amendments should have (been welcom ed, not spurned, by protectionists, for it is certainly not the professed aim of protection to put our people under tribute to the protected Industries. This has been .charged Jby the enemies or the system, "but ever veliemently de nied by its friends. But now, when it is proposed to so amend the tariff as to put the trusts beyond the pale of protection, such amendment is opposed and cast to one side by -the avowed friends of the protective system. By so doing, these avowed friends are un dermining the protective system."' Again The American says: "But is cannot 'be successfully hid den Chat such a vote is a vote for mo nopoly, for where the tariff has "been (made the shelter from behind which the trusts (have raised prices and ex acted a tribute from our people, it cannot -be denied thatthe way to deal with such trusts is by depriving them of the shelter of tariff protection." Whenever ty legislation you-leave monopoly in private (hands, you curse the people. They need protection against trusts. Any tariff scheme that fosters trusts is devilish, is hostile to the people and oppressive in extreme. It is a fight, as it is thought, ibetween national socialism and private social Ism. Both are very !bad. We desire neither. If it is fight for life beTween the two the "least evil will be taken, but. we see no reason for such a choice. Stamp out iboth. If protection in any form leads to socialism of any kind then it Is a curse, an enemy. The American once (more says this: "If we are to have socialism we must have national socialism jmfcJ. pn-mua vl unoiiopoiy are (distributed among the whole people, not individual socialism wnere thejproflts of monop oly exacted from the whole people ac crue to the individual. It Is preferable to destroy trusts, to destroy private monopoly, to wtba monopoly out alto gether and thus' secure & continuance lot .free competition, that spur to the progress or thehuman race, than to private monopoly with govern ment monopoly. ! . ., The people.ox tihis country win have neither if the understaiwttheir rights, appreciate theifc Flberf ies.-know the dangers of Hx- Monopoly Is a mon ster.

Down in Florida the same old infer- nal.devlltry is producing the same old infernal results. The whites are ready to hurl to death a. black brute who as saulted a white woman of charac ter.

It sends out an awful picture taken in India of the starving subjects of the queen. They make a terrible comment on -the celebration. The contrast is most gruesome and awful. John Sherman is senile. He wrote less than a year ago: "If my life is prolonged I will do all I can to add to the strength and prosper ity of the United States, but nothing to extend its limits or to add new dan ger by an "acquisition of foreign terri tory." He is now Ibellowing for annexation of Hawaii. He has just signed the treaty and war may come. 'At the Virginia Military Institute where the brave and noble Stonewall Jackson taught, a new memorial hall to his memory "has been erected and dedicated. None could possibly deserve better such an honor. The speakers were Senator Daniel, (Rev. Dr. J. D. Smith, of Richmond, of Jackson's staff, and Dr. (Hunter McGuire. "Virginia re members and delights to Ihonor her heroes. n Che bimetallist convention in session at Cincinnati, Ohio, adopted a plan which provides that the name shall be the League of Ohio Valley Bimetallic Clubs, to consist of clubs of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. The object shall be to encourage and assist in the formation of bimetallic clubs for organized work in advocating the principle of the free coinage of silver and gold upon equal terms. The Messenger expressed confidence in the election of the great boodler, (Mark Hanna, as senator from Ohio. It was confident that a corruptionlst and trickster the most conspicuous in American "history could manage a peo pie like those of Ohio, after corrupt ing a continent and bulldozing the la borers in- the entire north. Mark Is on top. He is a sight for men and an gels, and is a typical republican of the end of this century. Great Britain did wonders since 1837, when the venerable queen ascended the throne. The history of the progress. is a great marvel. But today the young United States are richer than Great Britain, and their .'growth and progress are more mavellous. In 1837, their Wealth was $5,000,000,000. In 1897 sixty years after they have $90,000,000,000. Uncle Sam has indeed done well in the material line, .but with righteous legis lation even much greater results would have followed. Not many business houses in these United States can boast of fifty years' standing. The business of Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., whose in comparable Sarsaparilla is known and used everywhere, has passed its half centennial and was never so vigorous as at present. CURRENT TOPICS.

Price, 50c Excessive Use Unprofitable Bulletin No. 112 of the New York agricultural experiment station (Gene va) treats of "Economy in using fertil izers for raising potatoes." The spe cial object of the investigation de scibed was to ascertain the compara tive economy of using 1,000 and 2,000 pounds of commercial fertilizer an acre in raising potatoes, and also carry the work through two successive years without using fertilizer the second year. - "- In the case of the unfertilized soil as well as that fertilized with 1,000 and 2,000 pounds of fertilizer, there was a falling off in yield and per centage of marketable potatoes the second year as compared with the first year, the differ ence being somewhat greater in the case of the unfertilized soil. Taking the two years, the use of 1,000 pounds of fertilizer was attended with profit able results as compared with using no fertilizer, producing a net gain equal to $27.58 an acre, while the use of 2,000 pounds was attended with a gain smal ler by $7.12. When 2,000 pounds of fertilizer were used, there were left unused even after two crops very considerable quantities of plant food, which is very liable to undergo loss by leaching in light soils. It is safe to say that the use of a ton of a high-grade commercial fertilizer in raising potatoes can rarely be ex pected to be attended with profitlWhile farmers in the interior of the state are in no danger of exhibiting such extrav agance, it is not uncommon in Long Island to find these excessive amounts being applied for years in succession.
