Says an exchange: Prompt trials, prompt conviction and punishment, or prompt acquittal, are the surest wavs to in. -pi re respect for the law and confidence, in tin? courts, and would be one of the most effective ways to deprive Judge Lynch of his occupation. The New York Evening Past thinks that "if more Republican Senators from Northern States had been born in the South, and revisited their old homes, it is safe that the appoint ment of negro postmasters would have received less support from the party." No doubt of it. Senatok Hutler, in presenting a resolution of the North Carolina Legislature for the election of Sen ators by vote of the people, called attention to this being the twenty fourth Legislature to adopt such a resolution, and said that a con stitutional amendment ought to be at once adopted, citing the several existing deadlocks and scandal- in legislatures as an argument in its favor. Within the last week, Mr. McKinley has been personally harshly criticised in both House ami Senate, and in each body one of his critics was a Republican. In the House, Repre sentatives Jerry Simpson, and John son, of Ind., jumped, on him for bow ing to public opinion, right or wrong; and in the Senate, Senators Gorman and Hoar gave him fits for declining to furnish the Senate with copies of the instructions given to the Peace Commissioners. The historian of the future, if he be honest, says some writer, will be in duty bound to refer to the last third of the nineteenth century, in the United States, as the '-bond-age," for it was during those years that the money changers acquired, by bribery, complete control in this boasted land of the free. The great "financial deal" they made was in buying Grant to become the tool of the gang, ami forsake the people and they, the shvlocks, have worked the same deal with every President since that time. But the beginning of the next centurv will, we trust, find the peo ple turning over a new leaf and once more assuming the management of their affairs. The country papers are the palladi ums of our liberty, declares a recent writer. And he undertakes to prove the correctness of the assertion in this wise: The- "country paper," as the county weekly is generally called, is alxuit the only means left to preserve the s-park of liberty in this country. There is not a metrojHlitan paper in the United States, we care not what political party it pretends to atliliate with, but what is edited and conduct ed entirely and exclusively on the toad eating plan. They fawn and flutter around the tainted, tinseled and glittering scum that pose as "sawciety" leaders and bend the pregnant hinges of the knee to those in high positions of trust but never a criticism do they have to offer when not only severe criticism, but censure and exposure of their corrupt acts are due to the public. The big papers are all run on the policy plan and "supported by the same prop." Senatok Gorman has never posed as an alarmist, but he never fears to speak the truth because it may be alarming. Just before the Senate passed the regular pension appro priation bill, which carries $145,000. 000, Mr. Gorman made a speech call ing attention to the fact that although it was estimated that the war with Spain would add 50,000 names to the pension roll unless our troops were recalled from the tropics before the sickly season, no provision whatever had been made in the bill for the in crease. Mr. Gorman concluded with this significant prediction: "Within three years from this date the pen sion roll will amount to J1C5.000.000. If you add to that the cost of main taining your army (one thousand dollars a man), the American repub lic will, in the year 1900, expend more for its army and pensioners than any other nation on the face of the earth. That is a fact which the American people will have to face, and they ought to know now in ad vance what is coming to them, if the schemes and projects which are being forced upon us are carried out."

Thomas Whitfield & Co.. 240 Wabash-av.. corner Jackson-st., one of Chicago's oldest and most prominent druggists, recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for la grippe, as it not only gives a prompt and complete relief, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia.

Linney, Republican Congressman from the Lightli North Carolina dis trict must be; am! what a sorry fellow to slander his State as he does. He is om of a kind if not akin to the evil bird that befouls its own nest. In a speech he made last week in ad vocacy of the army reorganization bill, he is quoted as follows: "He thought it wise to organize and enlarge t lie standing army. We needed trained troops. The wars of the future would be brief. He be lieved if both North and South had had trained armies the Civil war would have been wound up in a few months. He opposed the annexation of the Philippines. It would raise another race issue. The present race problem in this country had cost more lives in North Carolina at the State election than the war with Spain. Why court another and more vexing race problem?" Was ever a more deliberate false hood uttered than that embraced in the next to the last -eiitence? Not even the negro Manly, in his notori ous editorial, surpassed that for reckless regard of the truth. WE THINK SOI Seriously, now, hasn't tii' country had about "enough of this embalmed beef business and this war investiga tion in general? It seems to be about time to ring down the curtian on the whole affair. Chariot tc Ob scrn r. With the court martial of Com missary General Kaan and his dis missal from the service it is to be hojM-d the country will hear no more of this business. It should be buried bevond resurrection without em balming to cause it to retain the semblance of life; or durable form. It it undersood at Washington that Gen. Otis reports expecting the in surgents to force an issue, and if this should be so, the result cannot be foreseen. Manila itself, and not Iloilo, as might at first be supposed, is regarded now as the danger point. A dispatch from Manila says it is estimated that there are fully 30,000 Filipinos under arms, and it is said tli ere are nearly 50 Maxim guns at Malolos, some of them having been recently acquired. Filipino military authorities say they are convinced that the Americans will not be able to work effectually outside of Manila in the event of hostilities, hence they feel confident of the future.

A Washington letter says: A sen sational speech against the Hull bill for the increase of the regular army, was made in the House by Represen tative Johnson, of Indiana, a Repub lican. He said of Mr. McKinley: "If William McKinley ever changes his policy regarding the Philippines he will bend to the weight of popular opinion, to which he bows, right or wrong." Identically the same senti ment, in slightly different words, had been expressed the day before by Jerry Simpson. Being interrupted by applause from the Democratic side. Air. Johnson asked that it be not repeated until he had finished, when Representative Henderson, of Iowa, sneering! v remarked: "You ought to be able to stand Democratic ap plause." '.jiiick as a tlash Mr. John son retorted: "I am ready to stand the applause of broadmii'.iled, honest men everywhere, just as I am ready to stand the criticism of liarrowmind ed Republicans."1 Speaking of the treaty of peace, Air. Johnson said: "If I were in the Senate I would rot in my seat before I would consent to that "treat v." Dangers of the Grip. The greatest danger from La Grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will he avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia which shows conclu sively that this remedy is a certain preven tive of that dangerous disease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other treat ment. It is pleasant and sale to take. For sale by The Dorsey I'rii ('.). Kittrefl Letter. Kittkeix, N. C, Feb. 1, '99.

THE SEABOARD AIR LINE And Its Progressive Management A Wise Hove Jlade When the Services I of nr. E. St. John Were Secured ' . . . . . . t Jn Appreciative vrntis rroni a New England Newspaper. Perhaps at no period in its history has the South attracted more atten tion from Northern editors and writers of prominence, from capital ists and home-seekers, and others in terested in its resources and devel opment and the betterment of their own condition than at present. New forces have been set in motion and work is developing along new lines. An important factor in this new growth and development of the coun try traversed by and tributary to it is the Seaboard Air Line under its present wise, liberal and progressive management. The work it has done within the past few years is inestima ble the benefits it has brought this portion of the South incalculable. And to Air. K. St. John, Vice-President and General Alanager of the Sea board Air Line, too much credit can not be given. Appreciating this fact as we do it is with pleasure that the following editorial article from the Cambridge (Mass.) Daily Press is here reproduced. Writing of the fortunate stroke of the owners of the Seaboard Air Line in securing the services of Air. St. John, whom they elected Vice-President and General Manager about four vears ago, our New Eng land contemporary takes occasion to say some very kind and appreciative things about the South as well as timely and complimentary ones of Air. St. John and the great railway system with which he is connected. Air. St. John has certainly done a great deal for the people located along the Seaboard Air Line, not only in helping to build up and develop the country by bringing a large number of his acquaintances North, but in inducing a great many of his personal friends to make investments along the line of road. Nor has he stopped at this. It is not putting it too broadly perhaps t: say that in four years Air. St. John has done more to encourage the farmers to improve their condition than has been done by any other agency within the past ten years. He has devised and put into operation many plans, all of them successful, the methods and manner of which need not be here referred to. The people of the South welcome all such men, from whatever section, as Mr. St. John, and they feel in debted to the owners of the Seaboard Air Line for securing the assistance of so able, sagacious and energetic a business man to aid in the develop ment of Southern interests to which he has so industriously and success fully addressed himself. It is to be hoped that nothing will cause him to leave our Southern section. The article from the Cambridge Press, above alluded to, is as follows: For several years it has been known that the Southern section of the Union was being rapidly pushed to the front, but few people of the North really know how much enter prise, pluck and determination those people have. Before the Civil war between the States their surround ings and customs were different to ours. They were as much a differ ent people as though they lived in a foreign country. They were sur rounded by slaves who did all the work and it was not necessary for them to exert themselves. " The young men grew up as large land owners with hundreds of slaves. Each had as it were a little kingdom of his own over which he prvailed. They thought of nothing but cotton and rice culture. They made cotton to be shipped to the Northern mark ets to be made into cloth and re shipped back to the South and else where. They were farmers, we up here the manufacturers. But the freeing of the negroes has changed things. Every man was dependent upon his own exertions. They were left without money and without means and for thirty odd years it wras a hard struggle for those people with nothing but the soil as their capital, but this hard life has shown that the Southern people are made out of the same material, with the same energy of the Northern men and all they needed to develop into first-class business men was the op portunity. The climate is not as many sup pose, the cause why the white peo ple did not work. The fact is they did not have to work while they had slaves and even now it is so easy for any one to make money down there that they do not have to work as hard as we do up here. The Southern people are not slow to catch on. They are not opposed to Yankee ways as some say, and this is proven by "the fact that they are getting Northern men and women to go down and teach them how to do things in the Northern way and this shows they are up to the times and reaily to learn all they can. Among the foremost people in the work of development are those along the great Seaboard Air Line Railway which traverses what is known as the Piedmont section from Ports mouth and Norfolk, Va., through Virginia and the two Carolinas into the heart of Georgia, Atlanta. To guide people in the work of develop ment, the Seaboard Air Line has at considerable expense secured the services of a former citizen of New England, a real live hustling Yankee, Air. E. St. John, a native of Con necticut who went West when a young man and built up a reputation as a Railroad Manager and a devel oper, far above any other person that had anything to do with the develoment of the great Western States. The fact that these people are securing the services of such a man is positive evidence that they are not behind in the march of prog ress. Air. St. John is located at Ports mouth, Virginia, and as Vice Presi dent and General Manager is at the head of the Seaboard Air Line, and he is inducing many people from the North to go down South. He has opened offices in Boston at 306 Wash ington Street, in New York at 371 Broadway, in Philadelphia at 30 South Third St., in Baltimore at 2Q7 E. German St., in Washington at 1431 New York Ave., and at each of these places North, men are cm ployed to give information to those who desire to go South; and during the last twelve months, more than four thousand persons have settled along the Seaboard Air Line, and those who think the Southern people are slow are badly mistaken. The Seaboard Air Line is owned by Southern men and they are showing by their acts that they are going to have the territory developed in the most substantial way, and they are employing competent Northern peo ple to help them. FROfl THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Things Seen and Reported by Our Washington Correspondent. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Washington. D. C Jan. 30. North Carolinians have taken quite a prominent part in the proceedings of Congress the past week. Senator Butler created a genuine sensation by his speech on his amendment to the pension bill providing for pensions for ex-Confederates. He said his own State of North Carolina recognized the right of South Carolina to secede from the Union, but it was not until our State was compelled to withdraw in defense of her own rights that she left the Union. "Every gun tired by a Southern soldier was fired in self defense," Air. Butler declared, "of the constitutional rights of the South ern States, and in defense of their homes and firesides." He declared that it was a most unnecessary war and was forced on the South by the North. He claimed that the South ern States were right and that histo ry will so record. Senator Chandler and other New England Senators cast aspersions on this speech, but it cer tainly secured a hearing for Butler. After this remarkable speech Mr. Butler withdrew his amendment. Mr. Kitchin, the Democratic mem ber from the Fifth district, made a line speech in the House on the Hull bill to increase the regular army to one hundred thousand men. It was a telling argument against the policy of imperialism in general, and the proposed increase in the army in par ticular. He pointed put the menace of a vast standing army to the very stability of the Republic itself. This bright voting member is making an excellent, reputation in Congress, and has received many congratulations on his recent speech. Senator Butler and Senator Pritch ard have both been very accommoda ting the past week in introducing bills by request. The former has in troduced a bill to limit the hours of work of District of Columbia police men to eight hours a dav, and the latter has introduced several bills for Elkins, providing for the increase of the salaries of numerous officials who are proteges of the West Virginia Senator. Mr. Butler presented the resolution of the North Carolina Legislature de claring in favor of the election of sen ators by popular vote, and in present ing it called attention to the fact that twenty-four Legislatures had previ ously adopted resolutions of like tenor. Mr. Pritchard has presented a pe tition for a light-beacon in the Cape channel in Pamlico sound, according to a resolution passed by the North Carolina Legislature. The Senate committee on Judiciary took up most of the session in the consideration of the nomination of Hamilton G. Evvart to be judge for the Western district of North Caro lina. Senator Pritchard, it was un derstood, desired a report on this nomination as soon as possible. The committee, after carefully consider ing the case, which has been pending many weeks, decided to report unfa vorably upon the nomination. This came as a great surprise to Mr. Ewart and his friends, who were expecting a favorable report. Senator Pritch ard and his friends may carry the light into the Senate, but there is lit tle prospect of their succeeding after the unfavorable report of the com mittee. Only three members of the North Carolina delegation favor the Hull bill for re-organization of the army, and they are the Republican members, George White, Pearson and Linney. All the other members, so far as known, will vote against the measure. It is understood that Senator Pritch ard favors the measure, while Senator Butler will oppose it to the bitter end. Airs. Ella C. Peace has been con firmed by the Senate as postmaster at Oxford. She is the wife of Mr. A. S. Peace, the Populist leader who did so much to secure Senator Pritchard's re-election to the Senate two years ago. This is regarded as the pay ment of the political debt he owes Peace. The conviction of Commissary General Eagan by the court-martial was not unexpected. The question now is, will the inlluence of Aiger be sufficient to induce the President to shield him, and retain him in the army? The investigation of the em balmed beef scandals seems to lag, though it is understood that a good deal of damaging evidence has just been brought out regarding the deal between the Chicago packers and the war department. . The treaty of peace will be voted on in the Senate on the 6th of Febru ary, and it will probably be ratified with several votes to spare. A num ber of Senators who are opposed to the policy of expansion will vote to ratify the treaty on the ground that a failure to ratify would seriously embarrass the country.
