Armes, a retired army officer, is preparing to pub lish a book in which he denounces a number of officers of the regu lar army. It is thougnt ne may be court-martialed. Assistant Secretary Taylor, of the Treasury Department, says he will submit to Congress amend ments .to immisrration law. Some thing should be done, he says check the tide of immigration. to The spectacle of the govern ment loaning a million dollars a day to a New York City bank is not an inspiring one, but it goes to show how the money power has the McKinley Administration by the throat. Director of the Mint Roberts declares no possible supply of isoney can prevent stock exchange panics or periods of monetary stringency, because speculation and rising prices will absorb any possible increase. Ten years ago the Republican party was a silver party. Five years ago it was a bimetallism party. Now it is a gold party. The is no tellin? what it will be live years from now. It may reach the conclusion that trust bonds are the only standard of value, says the Savannah News. The urgent deficiency appropri ation bill, says the Asheville Citi zen, includes 145,000,000 for the War Department. This means a debt of 64 cents for every man, woman and child in the United States as a part of the price we have to pay for imperialism. And the worst of it is that those most able to pay will dodge the taxes imposed to pay this debt. "It may be an error, but, in my judgment, a government of the people, by the people and for the people will be impossible when a lew .n control all the sources of production and doo out daily bread to all the rest on such terms as the few may prescribe." W. J. Bryan at Chicago Trust Con ference. A special from Leesburg,Fla., says 94,000 acres of land have re ten tlv been our chased in Lake county, that State, by the Dukes, of North Carolina. They expect to cut off and utilize the timber, plant the land in tobacco and eventually run a railroad across country to connect with the Flori da East Coast Railroad. -Hawaii is now a part of the Ignited States, and the Constitu tion of this country forbids "sla very and involuntary servitude, except for crime" in any territory controlled by this country, yet in Hawaii, there are 100,f 00 men held in involuntary servitude, and the act annexing the island provides for a Continuation of this unlaw ful condition. The American Fed eration of Labor while holding ses sion in Detroit, Mich., in entering a protest against this matter, is timely and necessary. Secretary Gage announces that he has received applications from sixty-six national banks to be made depositories of internal revenue .receipts. Among them are several North Carolina banks. AH have been accepted. The ap- plications accepted represent seventeen million, a portion' Of which comes to North Carolina banks. Internal revenue receipt amounting to Bbout a million daily will be equitable distributed among the different banks in exact pro portion borne by their deposits of bonds to the total apportionment. "God made all men, and he did not make some to crawl on hands and knees and others to ride upon their backs. Let us show what can be done when we put in to actual practice the great prin ciples of human equality and equal rights. Then this nation will ful fil its holy mission and lead the other nations step by step in the progress of the human race toward higher civilization." W. J. Bryan at Chicago Trust Confer ence. The Asheville Citizen says 'some people refuse to read cer tain books for fear of corrupting their morals, and there are many people in the United States calling themselves Americans who are afraid to read the Declaration of dependence and the Constitution of the United States, for fear of wuittuiiiiatiu iuvii jaii iulicuj. The Chicago Cbonicle says the Republican national committee has placed its party in an embarrass ing position by selecting Philadel phia as the place for holding the Republican National Convention. It was at Philadelphia, says the Chronicle, that the declaration of independence was promulgated. rfY fonunaftnnr 4 Koi rvo 4-ti am " It will be at Philadelphia that the President's arbitrary policy in the Philippines would be commended to a nation that before thejadventof McKiuley has no hesitancy what ever in asserting that the declara tion of independence contained a statement of the belief of this peoj pie. "Governments among men derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." The de claration has been belittled. Ad vocates of imperialism have de nounced the whole document. as a back number. It will be embar rassing in a campaign to point to the declaration of Philadelphia platform and have an elector in quire whether the platform re ferred to was that of 1900 or that of 1776. Happily there abide in the republic a goodly number oi the electorate who cherish the idea that the older platform expresses sound American sentiment. . Upon the windy heights of Arlington Cemetery the bodies of the Maine's dead, brought from Havana by the battleship Texas, were yesterday laid away in their final resting place, with simple re ligious services and the impressive honors of war. A cabinet officer, surveying the flag-draped coffins before the ceremonies began, said: "The lives of these men cost Spain her colonies." The caskets ranged row on row. Over each was spread an American ensign, upon which lay a wreath of galax leaves. Around the enclosure, shoulder to shoulder, the yellow of their coat linings forming a band of color, were drawn up the cavalry of Fort Meyer; to the right was a batalion of marines from the navy yard, with their spiked helmets and scarlet capes turned back; to the left a detachment of jackies from the Texas in navy bkn; jn the flfig draped stand in the rear the President and his cabinet, Ad miral Dewey, Major General Miles and a distinguished group of offi cers of the army and navy in their showy dress uniforms. There was a tender appropriateness in the fact that Captain Sigsbee, who was in command pf the Maine when she was blown up, had charge of the ceremonies in honor of his men, and that Father Chad wick, who was chaplain of the Maine, was there to perform the last 'sad rites.

The Gaulois has consulted Madame De Thebis, a noted, chiromancer, as to the events of the coming year. She says the year will be under the influence of Venus. Affairs, consequently, will be governed by people's hearts and not by their heads. The year, according to Madame De Thebis, will be marked by an increase in crimes caused by love. International politics even will feel the influence. This influence has already begun to work, as is shown by the widespread sympa thy shown toward the Transvaal David in the struggle with the British Goliah. Madame De Thebis recommends the elephant as a mascot not the real thing, but little models of gold and silver; in fact, in all ma terials except ivory, which brings had luck probably because the elphant's dentistry is robbed to procure the ivory. It is also un lucky to have articles made of ele phant bristles, presumably for a kindred reason. After wearing one of these Jbascots, if any one is unfortunate during 1900 it's his own fault. It is now estimated that the war will cost England at least 60,000-, 000- ($300,000,000) and it is sug gested that the sinking fund of the national debt should he sus pended for five or six years in or- f der to defray the cost. fi.

C An Important Railroad Town Miles from Salisbury. Two The Southern Field, published at Washington, D. C, says of our lively little neighbor, Spencer: "Spencer is situated in the Pied mont section of North Carolina within two miles of the city of Salisbury. It is the location of the Southern Railway's principal shops, and while only about three years old, is a very important railway center. To secure suffi cient room, the company went out far enough from Salisbury to war rant establishing a new town, with postoffice, stores, etc. The shops of the company, including trans fer yards and live stock feeding yards, are thoroughly modern, and ample space is allowed for en largement as rapidly as the busi ness of the railroad demands. Sev eral hundred shop men, as well as train men, reside in Spencer, and the increase in the force from time time creates a continued demand for dwellings and business houses. Spencer is a safe place for the investment of capital. Lots can be bought at $ 100 and build ing material is cheap. We would estimate that $50,000 could be profitably invested now in Spen cer. The values of property have been kept at a low figure no spec ulative prices are allowed on the company's property. ' "There is a fine opening for farmers in the country near Spen cer.

The Southern Farm Gazette thus speaks of the benefits of cot ton mills: "Fully a million dollars is go ing into cotton mills in Mississip pi. This move ought to help everybody, it will divert some of the labor now devoted to grow ing cotton into its manufacture, and thus tend to raise the price. It will create a market for other farm products, and thus divert still more labor from cotton-growing. It diversities our pursuits, brings more money into the coun try and thus helps everybody. The Picavune. Mr. H. H. Har grove and Hon. Edgar S. Wilson deserve the undivided thanks of our whole people for the energetic manner in which they have pushed this progressive movement."

The war in South Africa has been in progress five weeks,during which time the British casualties have averaged a little more than 1,000 per week. Up to last Mon day, according to the figures of the British war office, the total of j casualties was 4,970. Add to this the losses of Buller's army, 1,097 and the total for five weeks ap pears to be 5,767. To this num-? ber should probably be added to the casualties of minor engage ments, which would no doubt swell the number to not less than 6,000.
