TAyste?nCOUNCIL If Congressman Blackburn hasn't the chancn of a lifetime, he had bet ter quit politics. The cabbage snake is getting the benefit of a few more denials to the effect that he is not a snake, but a worm. . ' , If Charlotte can't get enough at 1 cut ion from the pick-pockets with out a State Fair, maybe we can send them a few next time. The man who imagines that he sees a turkey and shoots a neighbor is again abroad in the land. If you go hunting, try your best to get the drop on him. Wonder if Col. Wade Harris, of the Charlotte Chronicle, believes that anybody else will believe that pick pockets stole $25 from him? If so, whose money was he toting around ? Mr. Roosevelt may or may not run again. He says he is not a candi date. But he has carefuly avoided any statement to the effect that he will note ome to Raleigh to attend the next State Fair. Late estimates from two well in formed sources place the present cot ton crop at a little over ten million bales. The people who are rushing on the market to get ten cents will regret having sold. The Durham Sun contends that Raleigh people eat so many Chatham County rabbits in the fall and win ter that it causes them to have a hopping motion when they walk. Just read the Dispensary statistics and you will find what causes Ra leigh people to have an impediment in walking. It is alleged that- a hack driver charged two or three men $10 to car ry them from the Union Station to the Fair ground, and that started all the criticism against this city. All we have to say is, that the person or persons who paid any such a price when they could have gone to the Fair grounds for fifty cents each in a carriage, or for tenvcents each by train or street car, deserved to be robbed. : ,-'',.' - UPHEAVAL IN RUSSIA. Unexpectedly the Russian people have made rapid progress in the di rection of freedom since the decla ration of peace. It was feared that they would settle down and accept the inevitable. But they didn't. Practically all of the railroad and street car employes, and workmen generally, inaugurated a great strike some weeks ago. Everything was completely tied up. Nearly the en tire population, including many sol diers were in sympathy with the movement. It seems that the Czar finally gave it up and decided that he could no longer suppress the people with bul lets. On Monday he issued an im perial manifesto, which appears else where in this paper. In some particulars the manifesto seems to be a play of words, in other parts it is all right. Those in a position to know say that the Rus sian people will get practically all they ask for, and that the govern ment hereafter will be as liberal as that of England. There will still be a Czar. But the people will have a constitutional protection, the right to elect their representatives to the National legislative halls, school privileges, etc. We trust that it is all true. Once given a taste of lib erty the Russians will never go back to the old way. In order to show that things were getting serious in Russia, it is said that Premier Witte favored a cabi net and government planned after that of England, while the Czar was anxious to copy the United States Government. As Witte has been made Premier, it is expected that it will be as he says. Some of the towns west of here are bragging about having money enough to get the State Fair. Ra leigh and Durham have money enough to run two or three State Fairs. Durham hasn't time to fool with a Fair, hence Raleigh will keep it. In fact, Durham prefers that it stay in Raleigh, and that ends it. DANGER IN HIGH BUILDINGS. We have long contended that there should be a law against the erection of high buildings for schools, or phanages, mills, hotels, asylums, or any buildings in which a large num ber of people are likely to be caught by a fire, especially at night. Such buildings should not be over two stories, or three, at the extreme limit. This is especially true of buildings located outside of cities where there are no reliable means of extinguish ing fires, no hook and ladder com panies to rescue the imperiled. The burning of the Orphanage building here Sunday morning is a case in point. However, we only criticise that fire in a general way. This building was small, built where land is cheap, yet was four stories. One person lost his life, two were seriously injured, and several received minor injuries. Had it been but two stories the injuries would all have been minor, and a death un likely. We trust that when the building is rebuilt the plans will be changed. There is plenty of room, and we feel sure that our Catholic friends will view this suggestion from a humane standpoint v The Legislature should not allow another session to pass without adopting some law on the subject, which would be worth a thousand fold more than nine-tenths of the legislation usually ground out. OPINIONS IN A NUTSHELL Making Billy Loeb official purvey or of all government news is rather a late adoption of the Russian method. Pittsburg Post. Times must indeed be good when the coal operators and miners of the country can find nothing to 'grumble at. Durham Herald. Come to think about it, Raleigh and Durham are probably the only towns in the State" with money enough to handle the State Fair. Charlotte has all she can do to look after the deficit in the water works appropriation. Sweets Not to the Sweet. They were newly married and on a honeymoon trip. They put up at a skyscrapper hotel. The bridegroom felt indisposed, and the bride . said she would slip out and do a little shopping. In due time she returned and tripped blithely up to her room, a little awed by the number of doors that looked all alike. But she was sure of her own and tapped gently on the panel. "I'm back, honey; let me in," she whispered. No answer.;; Honey, honey !" she called again, rapping louder. Still no answer. "Honey, honey, it's Mabel. Let mo in!"; ' - There was silence for several sec onds ; then a man's voice, cold and full of dignity, came from the other side of the door : "Madam, this is not a bee hive ; it's a bathroom." Sadik Pasha, Emperor Menelik's envoy, who is here at present, has one wife, but somewhere in the neigh borhood of 200 children. No won der it is considered unlucky to ask him questions on 1he subject. New York Evening Sun. Why didn't Chancellor McCracken, who excluded the name of Poe from the Hall of Fame, burn it down in stead, like, the antique gentleman did the temple of Diana at Ephesus, just to get famous? Houston Chronicle, Seriously, we would like to know where our statesmen learned so much about "standing pat," "bluffing" and the like'. Springfield News. . Not all of us can get into the Hall of Fame, but the next thing to it. is open to everybody. We refer to the crazy ward at Bellevue. New York Mail. "No power can force me out,"" says Mr. McCurdy, of the Mutual Life. Power isn't the name, Richard; it's Hughes. Watch him. New York Evening Telegram. ": ' '' V Jacob Rils and ex-Captain Devery declared for Mayor McClellan at about the same time. Extremes meet under the McClellan banner. Springfield Republican. Cotton-Bonding Warehouses. Special dispatches give particulars regarding the organization of the Standard Warehouse Co. of South Carolina, with a capital stock of $500,000, the officers and directors of which will be among the foremost business men of that State, includ ing such men as President Robinson of the National Loan and Exchange Bank of Columbia ; Ellison A. Smyth, president of the Pelzer Manufactur ing Co., and Lewis W. Parker, presi dent of the Olympia cotton mills of Columbia, as well as of several other large mills. Governor Heyward of South Carolina, will be president of the company, and after his term of ! office expires will give his time en tirely to the management of this en terprise. The company has already purchased several warehouses, and, as announced in the dispatches, pro poses to develop a warehouse system with the idea of issuing "a ware house receipt as good as a govern ment bond." The movement in South Carolina, which has culminated in the organization of a $500,000 com pany, is in the hands of the foremost cotton mill and banking people of that State. It is a move in the right direction and fraught with very great importance to the South, and should be followed throughout the entire South by the organization of other strong warehouse companies to give to the cotton of this section, whether in the hand of the farmer or the cotton mill, the same facili ties which the grain-grower of the, west now has in the elevator receipt. Manufacturers' Record. A rantankerous husband in Nor folk, Va., has been sentenced by a judge to kiss his wife twice a day. Look out for a biting story later on. Mexican Herald. New York must be a wonderful place. John W. Gates has been a citizen there for more than a month and nothing out of the ordinary has happened Springfield News. The amount of enthusiasm that greets the respective candidates in various parts of New York city de pends very largely on what paper you are reading. Utica Observer. Arizona preachers want a clause in the State Constitution making pro hibition perpetual. At that rate the balance of Arizona probably won't want statehood. Atlanta Journal. - We do not see what grounds one town has for claiming to have a bet ter fair than another, when the same crowd of showmen and fakirs appear to attend them all. Durham Her ald. Mr. Rockefeller's humor improves steadily of late. He used to feel like a sponge, he says. Then he was on the make. Since he has commenced to hand out he says he feels like a pump. Judge. It is announced that the cashier of the Enterprise Bank at Pitteburg left a confession, and the depositors will at once proceed to feel glad that something is left. Philadelphia Ev ening Telegraph. ". A university education may unfit a man for business, as Mr. Carnegie says; but, then, it should be remem bered that a great many men are in business to give their sons a univer sity education. Milwaukee News. The President is pleasing the South. He is talking the sort of politics to which the people are not accustomed and showing them it is possible for a President to remember he is the head of the nation and not of some particular part Pittsburg Dispatch. Democrats literally tumbled over themselves to do honor to President Roosevelt last week as he passed through the State. Many v -ho round ly abused him during th v ernpaign were as loud in their acclaim that he is one of the greatest men Amer ica has ever produced. Winston Republican.
