And now England and France are making - wry faces at each other, - accompanied by utterances of a war- - like nature. The situation is thus clearly and briefly set forth by the Baltimore Sua:. . . "Tht formal announcement in the Commons on Thursday that Eng land would coneidr thd advance of the French force from West Africa Into the Nile Vailey an "unfriendly act." is of grave import, particularly since it is believed that France has sent a force nnder Colonel M ontt.il to occupy points in the Nile Yaliev. An "unfriendly act' means a hostile a it, and bas for its sequel war, if the offending power does not explain the 1 'act" away and make amends. For months p;ist the relations ot Eng land and France have been, strained and there have heen "frequent rumors of impending trouble. Tho French appropriation ot a large part of Siaui almost led to a rupture of fliendly relations, and now ia Africa English and French claims seem to be irre concilable. The French persist, with what tho English deem a nagging spirit, iu making trouble in Egypt and trespassing in theNigej and Nile Yalleys. Now it has tome to the point that the Dritish" cabinet says in e fleet that it will fight rather than pat op with more such annoyances. As the French are spoiling for a flight with Eugland, much interest will attach to developments in Paris daring the next few days. The It.ba.tj the only Paris journal that commented yet-terday on the English utterance says simply that Fratscu rr co;. nixes bo rights iutho Ni'Va!liv Ta Pouuiigts ciitiai to Iw strong euetJi'es" c' tlia tra.s!j and yet the Pa -ion Lrgislatnre raised not a ringer isjainst tbe trusts.

A TBUST'S ANTIC3. The arrogant and coercive dieposi tion of trusts occasionally cornea to the fronf. The latest incident of this khid is the action of the insurance monopoly, known as the Southeast era Tariff Association, with reference to t he v,.;.v North Carolina company, the Southern Stock Mutual, with h-fjidquarters at Greensboro. The TaritT Association refuses to co.opemJe with the Southern Stock Mr.tual in the matter of prorating !;eal expentes and offers as the reason for euch refusal the rebate vl.nuse in the plan of the home cora party. This rebate clause, wo under stand, is tho muturt! feature whereby the pat rons oi the Stock Mutual be Ci)rci sharers in the profits of the company. There was no cutting of rates by ths Sto k Mutual, the .-bodu!e adopted b?insr tho same as chat fiipd by tha Tariff Association. This act-ion has the appearance ot heitg a very small piece of business, but tins was followed by something n a etd more arrogant and arbi trary nature namely, the issuiDg of instructions by the Tariff Associa thm to its agrnts throughout the State that they must not act as ogt-iits of theSouthera Stock Mutual. As distasteful as this coercion wdl pruvf to !o .-al agents, some of them, prou.ib'y, will be obliged to submit to ii, for the reason that an agency wuh aa extended business cannot place ail its risks in one company. At the same time, this unwarranted and tyrannical atta-k by these for eigu compaiu-s upon this home com pany deserves the resentment of the people of North Carolina and we shall not be surprised if the censure takes th shape of trans'eniag busi ness from the foreign to home com panies. Thcia incidents serve to illustrate the ii ,-cesvify for sufficient home in surance companies to do the home business. Too mu .-h money go ;s from the South every year for both life and Ore iii.-uranco and if the avaricious r;bit of thia trust shall teach ns to raaLe adequate provision for keeping this money at homo wo wiil have learned a wry valuable lessoa. : NATIONAL DBMCCBAOY. We are not amo jg those who re gard aa nest to hopeless the pros pects oi Vw Democratic party ia the next national election, . - la conformity with the late methods of turn about, it will then be the Democrats time to again assume control of the lower House ot Congress. Moreover, the pros pects that this will be so are increased by tho iact that a session of the new Republican. Congress intervenes be tween this time and the next general election. 1 - That the Republicans will bennable to solve the currency problem is probable. This will ba disappoint ing to the mass of floating voters who, in recent years, have held the ba'aa-ie of power in this country. Ia the meantime, the agitation of the question of placing silver in its proper place in our monetary system wilt have gone oa aud, it we mistake not, the Democracy will then be ready to declare itself in no uncer tain terms ia favor or bimetallism' ia favor of a currency system that wi l result iri" beaelic to the whole people, and not simply to pile up the wealth of tha already rich and we believe the people, awaki to their own interests, will be ready to place the Democrats again ia power. Not oulybbouUwe recapture the lower House of Congress, but we should, also, elect our President, if the can didate stands sqaarely upon ; the bimetallic plaak of the pIatforu-if be is a man that not only says he is 'not ua'rk'n Uy to etivcr," bat wiil shov, ia carrying out platform friendly to gold n-l j gold bus Thsrff, too, tho Republican j arty hfs ever be?n the friend to trustB and monopolies, thai encouraging legislation vhii:Ii enrlchsd the few at thj upcnse of th many. The'r poliey is not likely to be reversed in tho nest Congress and the ereat mass of the p-os-le, having suffered much a nd deattae.l to snffcr rnore on account of this class legislation, will have an added reasou for displacing the Republicans. . The outlook for National Democ racy is not without hope. MORE FOLLY. VTi'd thev never get through dis covering foliies committed by the Douglass Legislature? Many of the things heretofore re vealed were bad enough and gave evidence of the iccoaipetcnr-y 8nd in- i , ( sincerity of the j b,, to ljJ- Fusionists. Now a ght that bids fair to f prove very detrimental to business j and a serious blow to the many people ftho find it r.eeeesary to f borrow money. This tail is entitled, "Aa Act to Regulate Assignments," and reads as follows: ."Section!. That all conditional Rales, Hsaigcments, mortgages or deeds ia trust which ere executed to secure any debt, obligation, note or bond v hk-h gives pre'erenc-es to any creditor of lua maker shall be abso lutely void ns to existing creditors. 'Section 2. ThaBa'd laws in con- j flict with thi act are hereby repealed. ".-section a. l nac tins acc suan io in force from and after its ratiflea t ion. "Itatiae l the 13fh dav of March, 1895." This biil is construed by some to mean that a mortgage wil! not be it. bar to the precedence of prior unsecured claims, while oth-rs hold that it wiil cot effect. a debt mad-) at the time of execu tion of the mortgage. At any rate, its meaning isso uncertain that it has alarmed leaders of money and sellers of snpplies upon mortgage s- curity and these branches of lam njss are paralyzed. The most seri ous consequences of this law wiil fall npoa thos farmers who need ad VMnfrmpnts for making their crops It will al-to effect the Building and Loan Associations ot the State una cause them to stop loaning money. So seriosis has the situation be come since the discovery of this law that there is talk of calling the Leg Mature in extra session with a, view to securing the repeal of the bill The first step that wid bo taken, probably, will be to make up a "case agreed'' and speedily get it before the Supreme Court, so that a decision may be rendered at the preseut term. If this decision 6hould not give relief then nn extra session ot the Legisla ture, may be calied. The cash basis the pay ns-you go policy would be a splendid thing it the people were in a condition to adopt it, but unfortunately this con dition does not generally t xist and the lassies are altogether uupra oared for a sudden and entirely un expected command to walk the cash log. Th3 Fusionists made a great fuss over the interest law, loudly claim in: that the farmers of this State must have money at fcix per cent. And they tnaetcd the tax per cent, interest law and then passed the bill under discussion, which puts a stop to binding money ac any price under mortgage encurity. It would iiot do the larmeiv nor any one e'sea particle of good if the rate of interest was as low as one per cent- and there was no mo. -ley to be had. Commenting upon this bill, the News aad Observer says: "This substantially puts an end to the business of borrowing money upon mortgage. t he plant reading of the law pro hibits moi tengps and trust deeds of any character unless every debt duo by tho maker at the timo of the ex ecatton of the instrument is included in its provisions. It will tx a shock to the honest fanners of tho State witen their com mission merchants re'use to make advancements to them to run an other crop till they pay every cei-C they owe. I hose wno wonl.J uot, go out to hear anybody but thpir own candidates last year wnTgo out next campaign to learn how they have been sold out to tee gold bu-rs or Baltimore, by the men they sent to the Douglass Legislature. ' -What is fcix per cent, money to a man when his credit is destroyed? It is like tho pie to tho little boy who itda t have the nickel to buy it nothing. .. It; would te liumutating to the legislators to escape the wrath of the people by pleading iaroorance. It is degrading to the State of North Carolina to admit that her lejrisla tors have been bought by a chamber of com merce lor a song." We understand that ;the bill was passed a t the instance of the Balti more Chamber of Commerce, whoso purpose it was to prevent preferences in afcigainents in this State.

Thomas Ii-lT -rsoit its Amhor Eie Also EVvurcd. ilio Annexation of Cuba. Special Cbr. of Ths E-aulfad. :.- Wasbisgtox, .March 30. Thomas Jefferson was the author of tho Mon roe Doctrine. What is called the "Holy Alliance" o! Europe, formed ostensibly in the interest of icligion, was really an alliance on the part of the great powers of Europe" to hold their American possessions egaint the growing power of the young Re public known aa the United States. James Monroe was President. Thomas Jefferson bad gone to Moc- ticello, his country seat, to enjoy the honors of a well-spent life. Monroe wrote for Ids opinion, lie gave it It was to let European matters alone, but when they sought terri t-ory ia America to pursue a vigor ous poiiey of self-protection. The reasons are plain to an v one familiar with the geograpuy of this country. Fngland could laud her forces in Canada or South America. Spain in Cuba or Sua th America without molestation. Cuba is an important point. Thomas Jefierson said the TTnt-43T Sstrttfua nnfrSf . vv n fiiKn I Pnha ia in rpT7ilt. t iwlii -e The State Department has feen recently advised that three ship ments of arms have been made wit hin the past few weeks from tho United States to the insurgents in Cuba. In one case the arms were se?it from Philadelphia to Savannah. They were transferred at that point to a small fishing smack of ten or fifteen tons burden and carried to the east coast of Cuba, to the Provkce ot J Santiago de Cuba which is the hot 1 bed of the revolution. These fishing vessels are so small that they can hover about the shores until the toast is clear, and then make a land ing at any ouo ot u score of safe points. . The t45 ministration, it is said, is doing all iu its power to pre vent the fhipment of these contra bands of war, but it is claimed, they are being made constantly. The appoint ment of Gen. Martinos Campos us the commander in chief of the Spanish Array in Cuba is re garded here as meaning a vigorous prosecution of the rebellion from this time. Campoa is a stern old veteran of many wars, and will use the most repiessive rneasurs s in order to check the growing tide of insurrection.' But Spain is torn with inter-necine troubles. Now is the time for Cuba to be fre and to annex herself to the United States. Hon. Vm. C. Whit ney, one of the foremost Democrats in this country, has announced him self as unreservedly in favor of an aggressive foreign policy. Europe has no business with one square inch of American territory. Spain ..Las removed the naval cltieer who ordered the Atl'anca to be fired on, but this is a ruse, for Spain cannot afford to antagonize the United States now. It is as much as she can do to take care of Cuba and her internal dissensions. SIOKESDALK SIFTINOS. School Closed Gama of Baseball Personal Mention.

The estimates of in reuse in the appropriations and expenses of the late Fred Dougla?s Memorial Asso ciation may vary some little, but it is very certain that the appropria tions have increased more than 00,000 over thosi of the Demo cratic Legislature of 18915, ard the running expenses of the F. !. M. A. have exceeded those of ti e Ih-uo-cratic lody by over $0,000.

I suffered clmc-.-.t li-sc-mantly from sick headache. I bad racking ps.ins aii over roy body. The least exert ioa would t:"rc me cat. Going up one flight of etair would inike my heart beat at a terrible rate. I was induced to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, and now, after taking 1ms than two bottles, tho pains end aches have all left me. I have only had a slight headache once since. Hood's Sarsaparilla gave nie a good appetite, and I can now do a hard day's work." Hiss Elsie Jzxkixs, Queenabury, New York. Sa rsaoarill "Xly health has been poor for a good many years before I began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Finally I decided to take Hood's and can honestly say that it has done me more good than any and ail other treatments. I was troubled with dyspepsia, food distressed me, and I lmd but little appetite, was weak and nervous. In fact my trouble bordered on nervous prostration, from which I had previouely suffered. I took Hood's Sarbaparjl!a last summer and it did me ever so much good. It doc-s not seem as though I am tha same person. My appetite is greatly improved, I am less nervous, lave more strength and a can eat heartily without distress. Such a condition was unknown to mo before taking Hood's Sarsaparilla." Mas. G. C.
