IJIHAVN I I llHi: The Richmond Dispatch, heretofore nn ardent ami uncompromising, support er of Mr. Bryan and the policies he stands for, says: ' While the Charlottesville Progress lias as much faith as ever in the purity and absolute honesty of Mr. Brayan's character and convictions, and thinks that he has superb attributes as :i statesman, it believes that as a future presidential nominee he. is, and should be, an impossibility. "There vve agree with our contempor :nyv and we have said so time and agah'. As a patriotic and p;ty loving Democrat, Mr. Bryan ought to set out of the way and give others a clear track for the nomination of !M)4. It is not only the privilege, but it is the duty of those who have stood ,y Mr. Bryan in the last two presidential campaigns to say to him that it will not do for hhn to act ns it' he had a hen on the Demo cratic nomination." Mr. Bryan has no "lien on the Demo cratic nomination" nor on the party. As .in eminent citizen he is entitled to te privilege of giving utterance to his eon victions, and these kereafter can only relate to th- Democratic party as the lat ter -chooses to make bin convictions its own. If the party is possessed of the same convi tiuS which Mr. Bryan de clares are si;!l and ever will be his own, there is no irood reason why he phould not be :.a;a its leader. . As. to the- cons ,:!.. nces of such adher ence .to policies twice rejected by the popular vote that is another -matter. Mr. Bryan cannot be again nominated un less by the Dci.n.crat ic party unless the party is determined to stick to the poli cies of which Mr. Bryan is, we may say, the incarnation, ..-aid then it will be the party that a t and not Mr. Bryan; he simply ben:- its chosen mouthpiece. The appeal, therefore, i Mr. Bryan to retire is out of plac n.isdi-ivctetl. If the party is unalterably committed to the policies which weie j.-t forth at Chicago ..and KiTis; s city, tl,eu it will be the party which v l! do the meandering. Mr. Bryan should be made the scapegoat. The School l'.,y is the title of a neat and well semi-monthly publica tion jr.ft nt Franklinton by (ilaucus '. ; ,'ii-yt and, being a "paper for school low.'1 ::? worthy of their sup port.

An id .: ,;:!y, in this Respect, is given tis. -r;-! d ,,,ner things will be added to m .k. ; day memorable. ' North Caivdliii.-:!; , from every section , Will be here to participate in ceremonies . which portend nm -lt for the good of thQ Commonwealth. The inauguration of a gentleman, th.-r.gh young in years, '.....by inheritance :,;d cultivation a gentle- . "man of the. ol .School which gave to Nortb Carolina its character for integ rity and high tutvoses, to be chief exec utive, is of itself a matter of the great est interest, specially 60 at this time; and with him will be inducted into their respective offices gentlemen of like kindred and aspirations. Baleigh welcomes" her fellow citizens on this auspicious day, and greets the new administration witn the sincerest hopes and confidence. 1 ' ' The beet sugar industry up in Michi gan has reached such development that an immense refinery has been establish ed at Detroit. Farmers within the "influ ence" of this Detroit establishment are getting rich on the growing of the sugar beet, one, reported by the Detroit Jour nal having cleared last year 2.200 on a 40-acre farm. The growth of the sugar-beet, and its manufacture into sugar have reached very large, and it must seem profitable proportions in several of . the States of the Northwest, sufficiently to justify those interested in organizing an asso ciation, one, if r.ot the main obj:ct of which is opposition "to making Cuba, I'orto Bico or the Philippines part of tjiis country or to any system of recip rocity whatever that will opsn th American market to the sugarproduc tion of tropical countries," so we further learn from the Journal. The sugar trust is not in cordial relations with this or ganization we take it, for the trust is liberally disposed toward the raw sugais of other countries, though insisting that the interests of our country lequire a good tariff on all refined sugars. Between these two trusts, the farmer beet-growers of the Nerthwcst and cane .'rowers of the lower "Mississippi on the one hand, and the sugar refineries on the other, when we take sugar in ourn we must pay for it. It is evident, also that our fellow countrymen the northwest ern beet-growers are not expansionists, nor will they consent to accept th i sugar cane-growers of our new posses sions asamong those brethren who were created free and equal and entitled to equal privileges under the flag which floats above, but is not .permitted to reach down and uplift them. Truly, this is n curious world we live in. and this particular government we boast of presents as many performances of the spectacular sort as any that we read ofr This sugar business will become an issue in the next campaign, certainly in some localities, and we may prepare for it. Mr. Frederick R. Coudert in the course of .his argument before the United States .Supreme Court in the Porto Rican cases laid down the general prop osition that the Constitution is a char ter or grant of powers conferred upon the Federal Government by the people of the United States, and hence that the Federal government has no existence outside the Constitution. Therefore, he said, it was an impossibility for the United States to possess territory beyond its "constitutional boundaries." There was no boundary to the Constitution other than the whole sphere of the ac tivity of the Federal government; out side of that sphere the government could only act by usurpation. We publish this not only for the forci; ble way in which the great New York lawyer has stated a fundamental truth, but to suggest tfiat Cowdirt is not the proper way to pronounce his name as some of our soon-to-be-disfranchised fel low countrymen may be rvydoned for supposing, but Co-da"re. Just another pleasing illustration of spelling a word the way you do not pro nounce it. Noting the effort to increase the sal ary of the governor of this State, the Augusta Chronicle says: "It is getting so that under the in creased cost of living and the parsimony of our salaries only rich men can afford to hold the important offices." This is the truth of the matter. We are gratified, therefore, that our As sembly has done the proper thing by passing the act referred to and believe that every reasonable man in the State will approve it. The Philadelphia Ledger, referring to Mr. Bryan's Jackson day speech at Chi cago, queries: "Will Bryan abandon sil ver?"' No. His followers would not have him do so, and certainly the Republicans cannot desire it. . A Boston dispatch of the 10th instant says President Charles Eliot Norton, of Harvard, in an address at the dinner of the Union Club the night before, char acterized Theodore Roosevelt as the "great disappointment of the present time." He sail: "The ideals of our own community are not now as firmly set on higher things as they were in onr earlier youth. At the time of the rebellion our young men were inspired with more noble mo tives. Contrast it with the great disap pointment of the present time, Gov ernor Roosevelt. There was no boast fulness in the hearts of the young men who went to the civil Avar. They had a serious purpose. They were not brutal." His explanation of this alleged na tional degeneracy was that the great influx of foreigners in the. last fifty years had filled the country with people who had only "been out from under misery and tyranny" for a generation or two, and so had their minds set on get ting physical comforts. He suggested as a remedy for "all these discontents" the teaching of literature in the public schools. We do not remember to have heard of any of the immigrant class engaging in army contracts during the war be tween the States, as they constituted the great bulk of the northern armies which did the fighting. How many, after th'jr residence in the north, united in the army contract business duriug the late war with Spaui of course we do not know, but the stench which started then has not entirely passed away as yet. And we also remember there was a vast deal of brutal and cowardly destruction of property in the South during the Civil War. What Mr. orton calls that we do not know. However, we shall not quarrel with him for what he says above as intended for the seemingly predominant senti ment of the present. The Superintendent of Education for the State of South Carolina shows in his annual report-that while more money is appropriated for the education of the whites lb.au for the .blacks, there are more blacks than whites in attendance at the public schools. There are 135,002 colored children attending the schools, for which there was appropriated $202, 171, this being at the rate of $1.30 a pu pil. There are at the schools 12G.303 white pupils for whom there was spent $700,540, or $5.54 a pupil. In a few years more when a new reg istration "under the present amended constitution of South Carolina takes place as the law provides, these colored people now so earnestly attending school will be able to regist?r and vote. With this knowledge of the law and the fact above stated in view and with the evi dent advantage given in appropriations of school fund, we have the above com parative result of interest or rather lack of interest on the part of the whites. The "problem" reaches into the future. New Jersey is getting rich out of it generosity to corporations. The receipts of the State treasury for the last fiscal year exceeded disbursements by $752. (MjS.74, the receipts being s:.'..45: 2 5, with a State balance to begin last year with of $2,005,222. No State tax is lev ied upon real estate or directly upon in dividuals. Since 1S02, when the State road system went into operation, th? State has spent $S(5,"1S on public (what we call county! roads. With this assistance from the State tee State only supplementing appropriations of the counties, 520 miles of roadway have been constructed, and 150 mcro are under construction. It would look from this that New Jer sey has made the great mistake of not making war upon corporations rail roads and other. Had she done so she would now be without these good roads and her people enjoying the privilege of paying high taxes on their lands and other property, as people of other States which are not friendly to corporations are now doing. COLDS The quickest relief for a cold is by Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil. You will find the edge taken off in a night ; and, in three or four days, you'll be wondering whether that cold amounted to anything anyhow. That's relief. If you tackle it quick, the relief is quick; if you wait, the relief won't come you know how colds hang on. We'll send you a little to try, if you like. SCOTT & 4og Pearl street, New York. Mexico is said to be on the verge of a serious financial panic, and there are those in that country who pose as states men brutal enough to openly charge that it is due entirely to the violent fluctua tions and instability of prices growing out of the "silver basis" upon which that government operates entirely. This is important if true, and we can suggest no better service for some of Mr. McKinley's numerous commissions than to go to Mexico and study this situa tion and report. Perhaps a new com mission composed of several gentlemen we could name would be better than any now in existence. This government should not think of permitting such an object lesson at our very door as it were to escape thorough investigation. Mr. McKiniey owes it to his life-long friend ship for silver that is until he became President to give tho Mexican crisis prompt and proper attention. The Montreal (.Canada) Herald must have been reading some journal printed in this section, when it says: "The aim of ' yellow journalism is to humor the people, to take one course to day and, if . necessary . to the same end, the opposite eourse tomorrow. Hnl there been a yellow, journalism in Wal pole's day it would have screamed f,,r war. and denounced the minister for op posing iti It would have applauded him when h'A gave way and when the bells were- rung for joy. It would have de nounced him again wlnn tt,. v- ! for the people to wring their hands for sorrow, as he prophesied. If there is any pi-ogress being maue Dy numauitj towards higher ideals, as clearly there is. it comes only through strenuous as sertion and insistence upon those princi ples of human conduct and human gov ernment justified and. approved by the test of experience. But men are not born Y,-ith the knowledge of these things, and if the press is to abandon the task of keeping its millions of readers iniorm ed and instructed, to whom shall they turn? Religion is a positive force in the world when it is positively insisted upon. The clergyman wno would refrain from the presentation of tne foundations of religion because he believed some oi -lis parishoners might be offended might become popular, but his work would lose its character. Just so a sound public opinion cannot bo made in a day or an hour, foe the reason that opinion is not formed in that way at all." Mr. McKiniey was elected President and Mr. Roosevelt Vice-President of the United States yesterday. The people chose electors last November5, whose duty it was to elect the President and Vice-President, and they met yesterday according to law and performed that duty. The Congress musJt yet nre-et, examine the returns and declare the result before the final touch is put upon the proceedings. This will take place in February. The Post is grateful for the increase of its subscribers of late. The legisla tors can help their constituents by send ing them a reliable paper from the capi tal. Many are doing so, and are gen erous in their remarks concerning Tne Post's reports of the legislative proceed ings specially. The Post welcomes Mr. G. G. Eaves back to his first love. He has just begun the publication of the News at .Marion, and of course it is a good paper. Our best wishes. If you have not contracted grip or tem porary financial embarrassment since Christinas you are in luck, is the en couragement given us by the Minneapo lis Times. MACHINERY AT BUFFALO Sonii Detaila la Regard to an Exhibit at tho I'an-.lmerlcaa Exposition Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 14. Robert M. Furman, Editor of The Morning Post, Raleigh, N. C. A copy of your paper of the 0th hns come to my desk and in the Elitor's note in the first column of your editor ial page 1 observe' that you say the Ex pofition will open next fall and continue six months. The date of opening is May 1 next. There will be opening ceremon ies on that day and a little later in the month -between the 15th and 20th there will be dedicatory ceremonies to be attended by 'President McKiniey and other distinguished men. Every visitor who comes to Buffalo is greatly sur prised at the magnitude ot the, Expo sition and departs with -feelings of en thusiasm. I wish to call your attention to the large number of novel features which will characterize this Expositior. .Very truly yours. MARK BENNETT. Superintendent. Press Dept. A New Source of Revenue (Communicated.) Editor of The Von. 1 There having been several article? published in The Post asking for infor mation how a revenue could be increas ed in the State for public school fund etc., there could be a large amount (f revenue raised by a license taxing th. fishing and gunning interests of t'.ie waters of the State. I refer you to th reports of agriculture of ISIXJ on three enterprises, which will give .more light upon these industries that will show the amount of revenue it now pays to t'.e State and then you take the two an calculate the difference between tuxin.u by valuation and by taxing by a privi lego license, and you will find tjitite " difference j in the two, for in the spiing when time comes to give in taxis th nets are worthless and are valued ct little or nothing and by that it par? but little revenue to the State an I 1 suggest that every man that is en gas d in fishing on the public ground of t':e State be taxeel $5 each for the public school fund of the.Stnte for the privilege to fish, gun or shell hsh for market ot for sport in each and every county in the State and dispense entirely of the office of Shell Fish Commissioner and ap point one game warden for the Stftt and he to have the right to appoint one deputy in each county. As the Shell Fish Commissioner has never ' eolleeteel enough revenue to pay the salaries and expenses up to the present time and the salary of the game warden net to ex ceed $300 per year and traveling ex penses and each deputy's salary, not ex ceeding $200 per year, and the State game warden should give bond to the State Treasurer, and each deputy give bond to State game wareb u, to the amount that might be requiretl now. This does not apply to anyone who own their fisheries or oyster beds. FARMER. Protect tlio Flh from Dynamite Hondersonville, N. C, Jan. 12. Editor of The Test, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir-4Now that the Legislature has settled down to work, L i'-i common with many others-, would like to have the close atten tion of 'its . members to a matter of some importance, and one that can't be acfcotl tinon tpo isoeii. The fish supply in the waters of our mountain streams 'is being rapidly de stroyed by the use of dynamite. The water is so clear Ithat the dynamiter has only to wait for the killed fish to float from a deep hole that has been "shocked" to the shallow water bclowr. He picks up the large fish and lets the "small fry" go by. Everything that swims is killed by a charge. I am well aware of the fact 'that a law is now in force (so-called in force) to prevent this; but does it? Mo.-;t certainly not. Catching before convic tion: and even catching has not vet proven to be conviction. Is it not mvvsibls to lptrislnfo nn lie le Of (lvnm:)?

Unless some other means is fused than the present law, there will beno fish in wesetern North Carolina in pve years, except in the Vanderbilt reservation and Toxaway Company's streams. The wa ters of their lands are paltrolled and the laws enforced; but there are many men who only regard the fish dinner of today and never think of the next year or years to come. Yours truly, ERNEST L. EUBANKS. fTnn'nfAifnvvs Kind Words for The Post Henderson Gold Leaf. The Raleigh Morning Post has b?en enlarged in size from 48 to 5o' column?. This was made necessary in ortier to accommodate the advertising patronage without encroaching upon thi reading matter space. An evidence of giowtti and prosperity at the beginning of thi new year and the new century wiacn friends and patrons of the Post through out the State will note with profound pleasure. The Tost is fair minded, honest, inde pendent, yet staunchly Democratic. It has never been tainted with Poul'sii nor carried away with the isms that too oft afflict public men and papers ui this day of demagogues and trimmer.. The Post is one of the best papers ever published at the State capital, and richly merits the patronage and popu larity it enjoys. Long may it continue to live and prosper. , (Elizabeth City Carolinian.) The Raleigh' Post enters upon tne new year with an enlarged edition. The Post is one of the,' if not the leading daily of the Tar Heel State. It is a reliable sheet and, though its leanings are Democratic, it is free from the rabiduess and nar rowness that refuses to conceele to the other fellow the right of his opinion. Its success is a deserved tribute to its merits. The reading public likes to see fair play. ' (North Wilkesboro Hustler.) We congratulate our esteemed con temporary, The Raleigh Morning Post, on the necessity of enlarging itself in or der to cater to the wants of its increased patronage anel do justice to its readers. May it continue to grow in public favor it merits it. (Burlington Tribune.) We are pleased to note that the Ral eigh Tost has enlarged to a 5'J-column paper. The Post deserves the success it is meeting with, and our hope it that it may continue. Special Rates, S. A. L. Charlotte Poultry and Peit Stock Afrso-e-iarion, Charlotte, N. C, January 15-18, 1901.
