of North Carolina may be poor, they are
ready to encounter any expenditure which
is demanded by a just respect for them
selves, and your committee believe that
the Legislature would little consult either
the character or the wishes Of those whom

opportunity or re erecting the statue OF
HIM who, living was always first in the
hearts of our fathers, and whose name is
now enshrined with the same precedence

The Third Party.

[Dr Haygood in n. Y. Independent
There is already danger to the move
ment in Georgia. The extreme people are
beginning to advocate a general State law,
wiping out the business, root and branch;
also United States law amendment to the
constitution, and such like-making
final closing out Of liquor making, import
ing, selling, drinking, etc., etc. Some of
them begin to talk strongly of Third

called upon to make the issue; else, repudi

naked issue of prohibition. A few of them

because it seems to me altogether tradi-

whole United States upon any single issue
whatever. For the time, the politicians

can use temperance people, they will know
what to do; they will use them, deceive
them, and destroy them. The vital thing,

the discovery Of gold in California would
scarcely compare with it.

The noise and the smoke
filled the air with excitement, and to add
to it Dicckmann's guns and caiSSOuS, with
battery men scattered, rolled and tumbled
like runaway wagons and carts in Il

CHAIRMAN KENSA AND THE CAM
PAIGN FUND.

PAlGN EJND.
Some Republican papers have been mark
ing ont a course for Senator KENNA to
raise a campaign fund. Since the Admin
istratiOn forbids the taxing of Federal
office holders, it was suggested that the
Democratic campaign book, instead OF be-
sold for 81, its regular price, be sold to
Federal officials for Us much rs they think
they should be taxed.
This would be a good Republican
scheme. and it is quite natural that 1t
should occur to the Republican press. But
the Democrats want no such Republican
methods, and will follow the spirit rs well
as the letter of the law.
Here is what the New York World says
of Senator Kenna's honest and commend
able course:
Chairman Kenna says thousands of dol
lars have been offered the Democratic Con-
pressional Committee from official sources,
hut all such offers have been declined. 1t
is not intended to have any criticism on
the taxation of office holders iOF campaign
purposes. The Committee seems to be
mainly dependent on the sale Of the Demo,
cratic Text Book ut 81 per copy. Onc
official said Il want a copy Oi your
text book, and here's 500 to pay for 1t. v
He was put on the list COR the book, and
given 500 in change This is most COM
mendable example of political virtue,
though it is ut the cost Of considerable pc
cuniary embarrassment, and will not proba-
bly, be followed by the Republicans II they
ever resume national power. There Is
much satisfaction tn the Democrats, how
ever, in the old aphoriSm; Virtue is ITS
own reward.

PROHIBITION AND THETEAn HABIT

The Atlanta Consultation, in commenting
on the vices and virtues of the Prohibition
city of Atlanta, gives these very suggestive
thoughts:
The cause of prohibition can make no
great advance, and can achieve no perma-
nent success until its advocates band them
selves together to suppress the tea-tlrink-
ing habit.
Tea, according to such reputable journ-
ais as Science and the London Lancet, is the
Had of all our woes. 1t is responsible for
numerous diseases. One result is 'theiSm,
which may be acute, subacute or chronic.
Among the disabilities produced by tea are
the general eXcitatiOn of the nervous syS-
TEN, weakness of the brain and spinal cord,
perversiOn of the sense of hearing, irritability
aud many of the same miSchietS that spring
from the morphine habit. Some of these
evils eliminate in insanity. In the ma-
iOrity OF cases the drinkeF leaves children
with shattered nerves, who feel 4 craving
for q Stimulant, and thus the children of
prohibition parents frequently fly to alco-
hOl for relief.
Now, as il is the theory of all genuine
DrOnlDllloulSbS llislt tllSN NAlOulu W u tue
root OF the evil, it is plain that they should
strike down tea and the tea-driR<ing
habit. In beginning this crusade they will
have a stronger backing than they had
when they first began their fight against
whisky. The medical testimony against
tea is from the highest sources in England,
France and the United States, and a sum
mary of the points would make the most
appalling indictment imaginable. We do
not well see how the issue can be avoided.
IL is Just rs inconsistent for prohibition
list to drink tea rs it would be for him to
drink liquor There is no sense in waging
bitter warfare upon one particular slim
ulant and letting Others alone. If
tea produces disease, insanity and death
and gives people the liquor appetite, then
tea is one of the monster evils Of the
AGE, and demands the attention of the
prohibitiOnists, before anything else is
done. In dealing with a mischief that is
largely the result Of appetite, we can make
