is a mistake. He fought on the northern

There are several cases of yellow fever

It is stated that Secretary Alger de

The Dingley tariff is a failure. Customs
receipts in May, 1897, under the Wilson
law, $17,000,000; in May 1898, under
the Dingley law, f 18,466,584. Dingley's
lauded measure was a good thing for the
monopolists whom it protected. An a
revenue law it is a failure. .
John Wanamaker will go to the front
as lieutenant colonel of the regiment he
has raised. George R. Snowden will
serve as colonel. Wanamaker said that
he locked military experience and he pre
ferred to have an able man in command.
This causes us to think more highly of
John Wanamaker. ;
"There are seven negro postmasters in
Halifax county," said Capt. Kitchen at
, the Democratic State convention. That's
what those so-called Democrats who
voted against Bryan are getting for their
mistake. They are disgusted that is, all :
of them are who are not fond of negro
postmasters and the like, and that's all
who are not going into the Republican
party. News-Observer.

A story which the cardinal enjoyed

was asked what goods he had on board,
and answered, "Timber and fruit."
"What kind of timber and what sort

"Well, an if ye must know, the tim

There are too many small calibre poli
ticians in control of affairs both at Wash
ington and in this State. These poli
ticians are comparable to the old smooth
bore, ; short-range guns, and even the
effectiveness of such are leadened by their
excessive dirtiness. A dirty gun does not
shoot far nor accurate. The dirty poli
ticians in control of affairs in North Car
olina and the nation are equally ineffec
tive, considering the immense resources
of men, money and materials at their
; command. ' v- ,
The policy of our government is now
said to be "silence." The government's
policy also appears to be "inaction." If
our fleets in the gulf were not controlled
by the government at Washington they
would undoubtedly. have accomplished
something ere this. Dewey is the only
one of our men who has accomplished
any big result, and his success is attrib

that if the latter destroys his four
armored cruisers and two torpedo boat

will be made to pay additional indemnity

Ways of Actor.
In the country one has few opportuni
ties of meeting these children of nature.
Occasionally one sees' an individual or
a company at the railway stations, and
then it is curious to note how instinc
tively they treat the platform as a stage
and take Tip the important positions on
it. 1 1 wonder it acting now is as lucra
tive a profession as it was under Eliza
beth. Shakespeare, we' are told, got
notning to speak of for his plays, but
made nis fortune as an actor, and Al-
leyne, another actor, after providing for

Another curious point about actors Is
that they should not be content with
their own names, like painters and
writers, but take names, the ladies es
pecially, that belong to other people. Is
there no property in names? N. told me
of a model of his who wished to go upon
tne musio nail stage and whom he ask
ed, "What should you call yourself?"
"Oh, Alice Burne-Jones, certainly.'

The former is calm, punctual, precise

an inclination and a felt want On the
other hand, the Frenchman when jour
