So long aa the aslaea an hi private hands the owners and the laberas are likely to disagree at aay time, tbe miniwg of coal be suspended, and a coal famine of indefinite duration be pneetpeted. The first utterance upon this ■object cornea from the. great Democratic party of the State of New York, la the platform enunciated by iU convention at Saratoga last meek, a ringing declaration was made in favor of the national ownership of mines as the best eolation of the prob lem. So bold, ao direct, and ao manifestly sincere is this deliv erance of the Democracy of the great Empire State that we copy it fat MI. The declaration re garding national ownership of anthracite mines is as follows: We advocate the i ownership and operation of the anthracite coal mines by the exercise of the right of eminent domain with jost compensation to owners. Ninety per cent, of the anthracite coal deposits of the world being in the State of Fcnsytvaoia. national owner ship c* be bat in the interest of the whole people. FneL like water being a public necessity, we advocate national ownership and operation of the mine* ns n solution of the problem which will relieve the country, from the sufferings which tallow dUkrences between labor and capital in the anthra cite urines This coarse will insure peace in the mining regions and remove the cause for differences leading: not only to suffering, but ortimes to bloodshed and insurrection. It' will relieve the consumers of cool, not only in this State but throughout the whole country; insure steady employ ment and ample compensation to labor; transfer children from the mine* to tha schools; insure, strengthen, and preserve the stability of the business interests and popular institutions of our country. Whatever differences of opinion may exist over other mast he apparent to every citizen. _ VICTIM Of TIB SWINDLE. Greensboro, Oct. 5.—Mr. J. C. Belles tine, who is indicted in the Federal Court for unlawful nse of the mails in connection with the Amos Owen cherry tree cose, arrived from his home in Georgia to-day. Mr. Ballentine is not expecting the indictment against him to be poshed. From what be states he is to be com* mise rated along with many others. He simply purchased, he says, a Mock of stock in the cherry tree corporation, ex pecting to get large legitimate dividends, sod be has not only failed to get a cent, but is al ready oat of pocket $100 in the w«v of traveling, coart and aoUdrieepsth3ytikgabo^r mrmufE vfrats.

The proportion of illiterates among the foceign-bora voters in the United States is 11.5 per cent, whereas among' the native-born inhabitants the proportion ia 10.5 per cent.—not a very important ^i®crcnc^. « The part of the United States in which.thert is least illiteracy ia the groap of States which make ap the Middle West and Northwest, Iowa and Nebraska have less than 9 per cent., Kansas less than 4, and Ohio, Illinois aad Minnesota less than 5 per cent, of illiterate in habit ants over the age of 21. la Utah and Washington, in the Pacific group of States, the percentage of illiteracy ia less than 4 per cent.; in Colorado, Oregon and Wyoming leas, than 5. In New England and among the native-born Inhabitants tbs percentage is itill lower, 1 per cent. In Massachusetts, 1.5 in Connecticut, 2 per cent, in New Hampshire and' 2.5 in Rhode In the Sooth the rate of illiteracy among native-born white inhabitants is highest in Louisiana, being 30 per cent. In North Carolina it is 19 per cent., Kentucky IS, Tennessee and Alabama 14, Sooth Caro lina, Virginia and Georgia 12, West Virginia 11, and Arkansas 10. The high rate of illiteracy in ; the United States is doe largely to the . colored inhabitants. | Then an 2,300,000 of them over 21 yean of age and of these 1,075,000 an illiterates— 46 per cent. Wherever colored inhabitants an snmeroua the rate of illiter acy is high; when they an few in number it is low: and leaving out the colored inhabitants the rate of illiteracy in the United States is not high and is being reduced steadily.

Regardless of the efforts of Re publican organs to convince the people of the Central and West ern States that the tariff reform wave is confined to this section of the country, there are increas ing indications that it has taken firm root in the Bast as well. Tariff reform is a real issue. The citizens of tha United States have made the issue, having reached their decision from experience with trusts. They will not sub stitute a fictitious Issue and be satisfied with wesk explanations from friends of the trusts. By his speeches in which he asserted vagus willingness to urge whatever tariff changes might appear necessary and ad visable, President Roosevelt has only strengthened the Democrat ic position on the tariff question. His expressions have admitted that the Dingley tariff rates are not equitable and proper. No other interpretation can be given to his utterances. He says that the trusts hare nothing to do with the tariff, bnt he really con cedes that they have a great deal. The statement made lately by Secretary Shaw and the with drawal of Speaker Henderson from the political arena in Iowa have also bad a tendency to en lighten the public in regard to the tariff. Secretary Shaw’s declaration in favor of reciproci ty shows that he considers changes in the tariff rates neces sary. Reciprocity ia only anoth er style for tariff reform. Re ciprocity and tariff reform are equivalent, practically. Speaker Henderson, a con firmed protectionist, who pro fessed full satisfaction with the practices of the Republican par ty leaders in making tariffs, inti mated in his published statement that some tariff modifications some — might be acceptable, thongh, probably, they most not be fundamental or interfere with protected industries. Thus, Speaker Henderson’s statement, though coached in selected phrases, aids in demonstrating the drift of public opinion. Commenting on the spread of the tariff reform wave in die East, the Boston Herald draws atten tion to a part this movement lately played in Republican politics in Massachusetts. "We have just •eeh it fairly sweep through the Congressional District here,” this paper says, '"in which is centered more than anywhere else the Republican opinion of Boston and the business vitality and potentiality of the city, it has spread Into districts outside of Boston, also.” . Everywhere the tariff question is forcing itself into prominence, every where the chief opponents of tariff revision are members or friends of trusts and combines. The tariff controversy is disrupt ing the Republican party in many doubtful States, with the common people on one side and monopolies on the other. It will be extremely difficult for the Re publican party leaders to make their followers believe that the high protective tariff is not re sponsible for trusts and com Wn«*- -_ The thirty sixth annual en cuapiKtit of the Grind Army of if.* r*M*bHc began yesterday at Washington and • will last throughout the week.

Russell anil Policeman Sanders, two weeks ago yester day, went hunting for squirrels ou the monntain near by, and in their perambulations found what they were uot looking for—a folly equipped blockade still. Thu manufactory of blockade whiskey was found located in a part of the monntain well suited for the business. The next day after the find the policeman re ported the same to headquarters in Lincolutou. A week later there was an other hnnt for squirrels ou the same monntain, and this time the hunters were C. E. Russel! and Julius Ware. On the York ville road they met np with a man named Wells—his home it near the still—who gave vent to some threats against Sanders for re porting the block, and inti mated that a lively time might be expected iu the attempt to capture and destroy it. About 2 o’clock Sunday mora ine’ a mob broke iuto the Lin coln county jail at Lincolnton, their purpose being to lynch Calvin Elliott, colored, for an assault upon Mrs. Caleb Brown. The attempt was unsuccessful, however, and the Governor has ordered a special term of court for the trial of the negro. Some excitement prevailed and the Charlotte militia waa made ready to go to Lincolnton on abort notice, but its services were not needed. SCHOOL ...BOOKS...
