and soulful. In contrast is the cathedral of
Toledo. This is, perhaps, the noblest ex-
ample of gothic architecture in the world.
II there is heaven for masters in art,
then the master mind who conceived and
executed the plan of the Toledo Cathedral
must surely be there. Once inside the
cathedral, and the delicate tracery of
Moorish ornamentation and the beautiful
horseshoe arch has lost its charm. The
one is plaintiye love song, accompanied
by shepherds lutte, the other is a mighty
chorus of martial music, filling the very
heavens with its measured sound.
Among the places of interest, We visited
the Palace of the Inquisition, and two
Jewish synagogues. The Palace of the In
QUESTION contains an audience room, tor
ture chamber, and underground prisons,
the implements Of torture having been
destroyed. The prisons are narrow, very
damp, with arched ceiling, and small
openings for the admission of air. The
synagogues are in an excellent state of
preservation. They are of Moorish archi-
lecture, not inferior in design to the best
Moorish work. Upon the seizure of these
places of worship they were converted into
churches, and several church dignitaries
are buried in them
Many thanks are due those iron-hearted
inquisitors for their acts of merciless cru
city, for their atrocious acts paved the way
to the emancipation of mankind from the
yoke of servitude and ignorance.
Preconceived notions of Spanish charac-
ter, as received from ideas of Spanish his
tory in the Netherlands and in the con-
quest OF South America, would lead one to
suppose that the people here are semi-sav-
ages; but was agreeably surprised to find
that in the great majority of cases the
people are exceedingly polite, afiable, gen.
erous and hospitable
Among the educated are to be found
many with strong leanings toward republic
canism. Isolated cases OF educated men
cannot, however, produce a republic. if the
mass OF the people are stepped in ignor-
ance. The time may come when Spain
will become republic but not before the
people are mentally in condition to re-
ceive it.
To eradicate the tendencies inculcated
here in past ages it needs close appli-
cation on the part of hundreds of thou
sands of schoolmasters The almost utter
isolation of Spain, caused in part by its
geographical position, with its chief
metropolis in the center of the country,
renders the eomingling with the outer
world difficult and costly. A liberal and
far-sighted Government could, however.
do much to modify this isolation, and to
again place Spain on the highway of pro-
gress. DAVID LUBIN.

a writer on the philosophy of sleep de-
clares that sleep is prevented by an excess
OF blood in the brain, and proposes as a
remedy to pump the blood back from the
brain by peculiar mode of breathing for
which the directions are given as follows {:
Having assumed the usual posture for re-
pose, the person is to inhale and exhale
slowly and steadily in long breaths, devot-
ing the whole attention to making the in
mutations and exhalations exactly the same
length, the length to be much greater than
that of ordinary breathing, though not
sufficient to disturb the circulation by
working the lungs to their full capacity.
In support of this theory reference is made
to the feeling of faintness by filling the
lungs with all the air they will hold. and
then expelling it, repeating the operation
rapidly three or four times-the resulting
faintness is attributed to the withdrawal of
blood from the brain, and the same effect
substantially follows any sudden and ex-
IRENE emotion. So violent disturbance
of the system, however, is not advised for
the purpose here sought, but steady and
gradual diversion of the blood from the
brain to the lungs and body.

john NJ. BRowER, Republican mem
Der of Congress from the Greensboro
district, voted for the Mills tariff bill,
because he knew that the revenue
laws,-the tax on tobacco especially
arc Objectionable to his constituency.
He wants to go back to Congress and
could not afford to disregard their
wishes in this matter. But by voting for
the Mills bill he has incurred the dis
pleasure of the bosses and they de-
mand him to explain and show cause
why he shall not be set aside and some
other man who is in sympathy with
the Republican platform be put in his
place. The Greensboro Patriot in
view of the situation says
Congressman Brewer is at present
in about as comfortable position as
the boy on the orchard fence with 4
dog on one side and the farmer on the
other.

MANY WOULD BE CALLED

The Winston Zzoin- CITY Daily is in
favor of applying new test to candi-
dates by way of ascertaining their fit
ness for public Office. 1t Is upon the
score of honesty-whether a man who
is able to do so pays his debts or not
This is very good idea no doubt,
but the GOLD LEAF knows some men
who hold high official positions that
such scrutinlzing and crucial test
would knock out in the first round and
relegate them forever to the back
ground of political obscurity-and the
path is strewn with them all along
from township constable up to Con-
gresham and United States Senator.
The 2soin- City Daily says:
There is one important test, which,
as far as memory serves, We have never
known applied to candidates, viz:
Prompt payment OF debts. Does he
pay his debtss But, as some would
pay who honestly are unable to do so,
the test may be expressed somewhat
differently. Has the candidate

WHAT HENDERSON NEEDS.

Under the head NJ "What Durham
Needs Mr.. Alex. Walker, the "to-
bacco editor" of the wide-awake To-
taet0 Plant, INDUCES in a few sensl-
BILE comments that apply with equal
force to Henderson. We transfer the
article to our columns and commend
it to the thoughtful consideration of
our citizens. Here it is:
What Durham needs is plug tobacco
factories. We need plug factories with
capacity to work fire hundred hands
next year. 1t is good and safe bus
mess to put money into. But few bus
incss men ever fail that embark in the
plug business, and no practical bust
ness man ever fails in this business. 1t
is what we want to give employment
to our growing population. 1t is what
we want to direct the minds of our
farmers to the cultivation of little
Oronoko, sun-Cured filters and wrap
pers. = We want more en-
ployment for our people, and our in
creased railroad facilities. What has
become OF our Commonwealth Club
that claims to lead or direct in these
important matters that pertain to our
future success and prosperity? Why
do they not hold out their beacon
lights to our people that are not SO
well posted, but have the money, and
prevail upon them to invest their
money in manufacturing something
that will be beneficial not only to
themselves, but to our poor people by
giving them honest employment, and
at the same time to the building up of
our town? No town can grow and
flourish that does not keep a sharp
look out and create work that will
give employment to our growing pop
ulation. If we grow and prosper as a
town we must see to. it that employ
ment must be provided tor those that
seek it among us, and we know Of no
business that will give more employ
ment for the same outlay of money,
than the manufacturing Of plug and
twist tobacco, and at the same time
affords home market for our tobacco
grown in the fine tobacco belt of
North Carolina. We take it for grant
ed that a hint to the wise is sufficient.
Why is it that Durham may not make
at home many things that we are
daily buying from aDroad9 Think OIL

seem to be sustained in the position he
takes about the Convention of the
Democratic Clubs of the State. Mr..
Whitaker is very smart man we
grant but is evidently bigger in his
own estimation than he is in the
opinion Of some others. As the Kin
ston HFe Press says:
Mr.. Whitaker has rather gone out
of his way to throw cold water on the
movement to have a State association

an article in the Ne7os- Ohse,ver. We

The county roads concern us all.
As the Graham Cleaner says now is
the time to put them IN good oondi-
ton. When winter comes it will be
impossible TO improve them much.
This is matter that concerns every
body and about which every one
should manifest concern-enough at
least, to put the roads in such a con-
dition as will insure their remaining
passable IN the winter season. Citi-
Zens Of different communities by unit
ing could accomplish much in the way
Of making good roads, if they would.

Alabama is indeed rich IN mineral
resources. The discovery of remarks
BILE deposits OF iron ore and coal, and
the wonderful development of the
same, causing towns and cities to
spring up as if by magic, was alone
sufficient to insure great commercial
prosperity and much larger popula-
ton to that State, and now another
source of wealth has been discovered
within her borders. From the VIII
mington, Delaware, Star we extract
the following:
The recent discovery, in Alabama,
of large and practically inexhausti-
BILE bed, or deposit, of asphalt, opens
up an entirely new and ricn industry
in that State of mineral wonders.
The deposit is located in Morgan
county, a few miles from Birmingham,
and conveniently near to the line OF
the Louisville 4 Nashville Railroad,
which will make shipments to market
cheap and practical. The commercial
value of this discovery cannot be COM
puted. Of course, it will not equal
the iron industry OF the State, for that
has already grown to enormous pro-
portions, and is increasing daily. But
the asphalt industry will become
prominent factor in Alabama's pros
perisy, for there will always be an &C
tive and profitable demand for the
refined article. no matter how extern
sively produced. Asphalt has become
a common article Of commerce, yet
very few people are aware of the tact
that 1t is really a scarce article, and
that Nature, in her diffusion of boun-
ties to man, deposited asphalt in but
two or three places where it can be
probably turned to commercial bene-
fit. The supplies of the world have
for years been drawn from the great
Asphalt Lake on the Island of Trini
dad, which is the most extensive de-
post known. The extent of the Ala
bama deposit is yet in doubt, but it is
known to be very large, and may
prove to be the largest in the world.
The State enjoys the distinction of
beng the only section of the Union
in which asphalt has been found in
paying quantities, and to Birmingham,
which will no doubt be the centre of
trade for the "new flnd," must we
look for the most valuable paving ma
terial known. The asphalt from Nor
gan county has been subjected to
critical chemical examination, and
found to be purer and finer than that
brought from Trinidad, it reaching a
purity in its native state Of 8I.3I per
cent, the remainder beng coarse or
fine sandy matter. No difficulty will
be experienced in refining the article
for paving, and even for the manu-
facture of varnishes and lubricating
oils. A company, with ample capt.
tai, has been formed to work the de
post in large way, and Alabama as
phalt will no doubt soon be we'll
known in the commercial world.
