There are in the United States
76,303,387 people, of whom 39,059,
242 are males and 37,244,155 females.
The whites number 66,990,802; the
negroes 8,840,789; Chinese 118,050f
Japanese 85,986; Indians 265,760. .Of
the total population 65,843,302 are
natives and 10,460,085 foreigners.
The foreign born population is not
increasing more than half as fast as
the native born, and there is also a
slight decrease in the relative in
crease of the colored population as
compared with the whites.
Carter Harrison, Democratic
mayor of Chicago, will be a candi
date for United States Sena
tor in Illinois. He says': "As
conditions are now I am not looking
for the place. Were the nomination
to be given ma, however, I would
make as energetic a fight as lies in
my power. I believe there is a good
chance to elect a Democratic senator
this time. It would be necessary,
however, for the Democratic state
convention to nominate a candidate
for the senatorship " We hope
Mayor Harrison will enter into the
race actively. Our strongest men
must fight for the control of the
great States of the North and West
if we hope to win the next Presi
dential race." "Senator Harrison,
of Illinois" would sound all right.
We stated last week that Presi
dent Roosevelt had appointed Loom
is Blalock, aMcLaurin 'Commercial'
collector of internal revenue of
South Carolina. This was a mistake.
It was given out from Washington
that this appointment was agreed
upon, ; but President Roosevelt
changed his mind and decided upon
Dr. V. P. Clayton, and old-line
Republican, for the place. It is
said.that McLaurin's mam Stewart,
a distant relative of the President,
will be appointed . postmaster at
Newberry. It is given out that
President Roosevelt feels that
it is not necessary to give Mc
Laurin patronage to control
his votes in the , Senate
that to all iDtents and purposes
VlcLaurin is already a full-fledged
Republican. And, yet, we have
pretended Democrats here in North
Carolina who praise McLaurin and
claim that he is a Democrat.

our Statesville confrere that such
Democracy is not worth h 1 room

gentlemen seek to enter
the next convention with any such

Republicanism and Anarchy.
Raleigh News and Observer.
A Republican postmaster in Vir
ginia one of the 'commercial' ilk
who went over for an office is
quoted as saying that if J. Hampton
Hoge is elected Governor this fall
the new Constitution will never be
enforced but the "the militia will be
used, if necessary, to maintain the
paramountcy of the present Consti
tution" giving all the negroes the
right to vote. The Republican office
holder who nredicted this anarchy
isthe.brother of J. Hoge. and he
nnorht tn know what newsort ol dev
ilment his brother would perpetrate
if elected to office. The last time he
mas annointed to office he made a
disgraceful spectacle of himself by
appearing drunk iu most of the cit
ies between Washington and San
Francisco. When Mr. Cleveland
nroDerlv and promptly dismissed
him from office. J. Hoge proceeded
to join the Republican party and it
nrnmnt v made him its teaaer, gave
his hrnther a biff office, and is now
trying to make him governor. That
is the way the much aaverusea "re
spectable Republican party In the
South" is being officered.
Wherever Kenubhcans win in the
South, confusion, scandals, anarchy
follow as certain as nigni ionows
day. We bad all three in North
Carolina under Russell ana ail three
with assassination added in Ken-
tnokv and now the brother of the
Republican candidate for Governor
of Virginia-threatens lawlessness if
the Republicans carry the Old Dom
inion this year. From such a calam
ity let us devoutly pray "Good Lord
deliver us."
The Stuff.
News and Observer.
The Asheville Gazette is informed
that the News and Observer does
not object to Republicans who are
Republicans on principle. What it
despises is men taking office from
Republicans, preaching Republican
doctrine and still claiming to be
Democrats. What it' despises still
worse is a newspaper that sells it
self, body, soul and breeches, as the
Gazette did.
Americans Retreat.
Manila Dispatch, nth.
A detachment of the Twenty-first
Company of Mcabebea today encoun
tered a large force of insurgents
near Lipa, province of Batangas.
Lieutenant Beau, of the Macabebes,
was killed and one of the force was
wounded. The enemy was strongly
intrenched. After two hours of
fighting the Americans retreated to
await reenforcements. The insur
gents numbered over 3Q0, were arm
ed with Remington and Mauser rifles
and apparently had plenty of am
munition. Reasons Why.
Raleigh News and Observer'
Ex-Gov. Bullock, the Republican
leader in Georgia commends the ap
pointment of ex Gov. Jones upon
three grounds: 1. Because he "sup
ported the Republican financial pol
icy"; 2. Because he ''opposed" the
disfranchisement of colored citizens
by the late Alabama constitutional
convention," and 2. Because he
was "heartily recommended for the
positionby Booker T Washington."
These-'are three reasons that appeal
to Gov. Bullock who devotes a half
column in the Constitution talking
about "the bugaboo about the ne
gro" aud Draisiny the Georgia re-
groes holding office. There is food
tor reflection in Uov. Bullock s posi
tion. Wild Dags in Gabton.
Castonia Gazette.
For two or three years there has
been a colony of wild dogs on Craign
& Wilson's farm east of Gastonia.
The colony descended from a home
less female dog which took refuge on
the farm something over two years
ago. She produced a litter of pups
and these in turn grew up and mul
tiplied. Messrs. Frank McArver
and Ed. Jenkins from time to time
have been killing them as they have
been able to get within gun-shot
range of the wild canines, until now
only about two remain. These dogs
lived in the ground and fields. They
had deep dens of refuge burrowed
out in the swamps, where they had
comfortable and romantic headquar
ters under ground. In summer they
lay under the thick cotton and peas
and other growing crops. At night
they chased the hare and prowled
about the neighbors' premises, but
they were seldom to be seen by day.
Through a Sea of Snakes.
Philadelphia Record, nth.
Plowing through a sea of snakes
was the novel experience of Captain
Robinson, of the Easingwold, which
arrived yesterday from Java with a
cargo of sugar. Captain Robinson
stated that in crossing the Indian
Ocean the vessel ran into a mass of
snakes, the like of which he never
saw in his 43 years at sea.
The reptiles formed a belt 15 miles
long and over two miles in width.
The snakes were of all sizes, averag
ing about three feet in leDgth. They
were feeding upon aa unknown sub
stance, evidently brought to the Sur
face of the water by a volcanic up
heaval. The snakes were first sighted on
the morning of August 6, the vessel
being about 43 miles southwest from
Ceylon. For two hours she plowed
through the sea of snakes, many of
which were taken on board and prov
ed to be of an unknown species:

Sbot a Woman and Himself,
New York Dispatch, nth.
Mrs. Lucy H. Carroll, who lived
with her father at 70 South Elliot
Place, Brooklyn, was shot and seri
ously wounded at her home early
this morning by a man known as
Capt John B. Neilson. The woman
was shot three times. Neilson then
shot himself in the right temple and
died instantly. Mrs. Carroll told
the police that she did not know the
man who had shot her. ''I was
awakened," said Mrs. Carroll, "by
seeing a man in my room. I was
much alarmed and cried 'What do
you want here?' Without reply the
intruder drew a revolver and fired
three times and. then turned and
shot himself. I do not know him,
nor can I imagine, why he should
have entered my rooms."
The police found a portrait of
Neilson in Mrs. Carroll's rooms and
when she was told of this she said
she had known Neilson for some
time; that he had paid her much at
tention and had been very jealous
recently. Neilson was about 35
years of age and was at one time a
sea captain. Mrs. Carroll is about
30 vears old. Her father whose
name is Kornder, . is a dry goods
merchant with a place of business in
Brooklyn. ; According to the police,
the woman's husband enlisted a year
or more ago in a United states en
gineeringcorps. Ab"ut the same time
Neilson secured a place on one of the
United States army transports, and
it is said came back a third officer.
He bad performed service on the
transports Cante and Arethusa and
had sailed as second officer on the
Steamship Givonne. Upon bis re
turn from his first trip to the Phil
ippines he carried a letter of intro
duction to Mrs. Carroll from her
husband, and from thaVtime on be
came a visitor at her parents' home."

Hawkes Goes Tor Judge Boyd-
Washington Dispatch, nth.
When the Senate committee on
military affairs today resumed its
inquiry of the charges against Lieu
tenant Colonel Heistand, Major
xzawKes, tne prosecuting witness,
was called to submit some evidenr-.e
in rebuttal which he desired to nre-
sent. Maior Hawkes. iu Rorrfttintr
iiis testimony, had added a statX
ment that J udge Boyd was not to
subscribe for hemp stock, but was
to receive it lor the use of his name.
ihis called out several Questions as
to the division of stock and Hawkp
said it was understood that tho
names of other Darties were not. tn
appear on the stock books. To avoid
this, it was agreed between him sol f
and Heistand that the $150,000 of
stock was to be carried in Hawkes'
came. Senator Cockrell asked him
why he had not testified to this be
fore as it was a very important mat
ter. -
Major Hawkes said he had never
said anything to any of the parties
about the matter. Under close
questioning Major Hawkes admitt
ed he had said to Judge Boyd that
he was not to pay for the stock "or
words to that effect. ". He was ask
ed what reply Judge Boyd made and
said he answered that it was all
right "or words to that effect."
Replying to questions by Senator
