POLITICAL.
Already the wires are working for the
Democratic nomination for Congress IN tins
district next year. This is known as the
black district, and is now represented by
Cheatham. the only colored representative IN
Congress. 1t has had several Democratic rep
resentatives since the war. The late Leglsla-
ture changed the district so that the Republi-
can majority is reduced to about $500. The
change put Chatham county in the Raleigh
district, but he will shortly remove his resi-
dence to this county preparatory to entering
the race for the Republican nomination next
wear. Hei not very popular with the negroes
and he may be defeated. 1t Is SAID that he
was nominated last year upon a promise TO
get out of the way next time There are sew
eral asprants among the Democrats for the
honor of a nomination. Among them are
mentioned Fred Woodland of Wilson, Aycock
of Wayne, Long of Warren, Stancell and Pee
bles OF Northampton, Wood Of BERTHE, Thone
of Halifax. There are only two other coun-
ties in the district. The Alliance
holds the balance of power, and will in all
probability dictate the Democratic nominee.
If it does he will be a Simon-pure Democrat.
The Alliance is almost exclusively composed
of Democrats and there is no fear that they
will be lead away from their allegiance TO the
party.

AN ANCIENT RACE.
Remnants of a People Who FIourished Ten
Thousand Years Ago.

<Asos ~
The Guanches, the inhabitants of the Ca
nary Islands, are said to be the remnants
of the ancient race who 10000 years ago
peopled the drowned continent of Atlantis.
They are reported to have been strong and
handsome, and of extraordinary agility Of
movement, of remarkable courage, and of a
loyal disposition; but they showed the Gre
dulity of children and the simple directness
of shepherds. So tall were they that the
Spaniards speak Of them as giants, and their
strength and endurance were SO great that
they were conquered by strategem, but not
by force. They ran as fast as horses, and
could leap over a pole held between two men
five or six feet high; they could climb the
highest mountains n jump the deepest
r%avines. Their endurance as swimmers was
SO great that they were accustomed to swim
across the nine-miles strait between the
Lancerote and G%raciosa; having no boats,
their method of fishing was to strike the
fish with sticks, or catch them i'll their
hands while swimming. The skulls, which
show marked cerebral development, the
frontal and parietal bones being we'll de-
veloped, and the facial angle good. In the
early DAYS OF the conquest, before rapine
and murder had M their vile work, the
Guanches are spoken of al being musical
ana fOnd or QanClng ana singing. These
arts. together with those of basket weaving
and pottery making, were a few relics of a
great and remote civilization, and we're pre-
served in the same way as if Europe were
submerged the shepherds of the Tyrol, the
Alps and the Pyranees would preserve the
national airs and village dances of their
respective countries, The Guanches we're,
it is supposed, but the mountain shepherds
of n submerged world. Though so strong
physically, the Coaches were neverthe-
less a very gentle race; they rarely
made war on one another, and when
the Europeans fell into their hands
they did not kill them, but sent them to
tend sheep on the mountains. SO tame
were the birds in this happy land that
when the Spaniards first landed they came
and fed out of their hands. To kill an AMI
NAL degraded a man; the butcher was a re-
prieved criminal and an o%utcast. and lived
apart, he and his assistants being supported
by the state. No woman was allowed to
approach the brambles, and in such horror
was killing held by these gentle giants that
no man could be ennobled until he had pub
licly declared that he had not been guilty
of killing any animal, not even a goat.
Their standard of morality was high; rob
berry was almost unknown among them,
and drunkenness not yet invented.

THE little sops that Mckinley threw
to the people in the way of additions tc
the free list, and the concessions made
in Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity schedules
are having a contrary effect from what
was expected. Instead of satisfying the
people the clamor is for more. The
Hon. J.. A. johnson, II of the most
prominent Scandinavian republicans in
North Dakota, publishes an open letter
in which he says: 1.-The Mckinley bill
I venture to say, will make more demo-
Gratis from the Soandinavians than most
men have an idea at the present time.
The very fact that the few articles that
were either put on the free list or
greatly reduced has made them, as well
as a great many Americans, think that
a little more of the same sort might be a
good thing. In 1890 Irvine was from u
to is cents per pound. while this year it
is from s to IA cents for the same
Irvine. Then take the item of sugar.
In 1890 the farmer got from eleven to
twelve pounds of %granulated sugar for
81; this year he gets from eighteen to
twenty pounds of the same sugar for
the same money, and SO you may go on
through the whole list. 1t is true that
what we sell mainly, wheat, is protected.
That does not amount to anything as
we are exporters and not importers of
that or any other farm produce in North
Dakota"
Mr.. johnson warns his party that
there is no Disgusting the fact that very
little work among the Scapdinavians
would make North Dakota democratic.
Nearly one-half the voters of the state
are Scandinavians and the republicans
are rapidly losing their hold on them.
Mr.. johnson says his countrymen are
not free traders but they are opposed to
a high tariff, and when it comes to O
tecting manufacturers who ask for pro-
lection for their wares at home and
then sell their goods in foreign markets
in competition with European manufac-
turere at lower prices than they get at
home, they rebel. If the republican
party wants to maintain it's supremacy
in the northwest, Mr.. johnson tells it's
leaders that they must lower the Nc
Kinley schedule.

The growth of the beet sugar industry
in California is something marvellous.
The output Of the Chino factory for the

jacksonville averages nearly $4,000
pounds per day, and the total output of
all the factories in the state, although
some of them have not yet started up,
has been $4,000 pounds for the@seagon.
