THE CAR AND THE PRESIDENT
ATLANTA Constitution.

The great white czar-the autocrat
of all the Russias-is about to take
little trip.
A fine outing it will be! His maj
esty will sneak out OF his palace at
dead of night, and slip into his special
car. He will steal away from St. Pc
tersburg and tiptoe into Moscow.
All along the route glittering bayo-
nets will guard every mile of railway,
and the guards will be watched by
spies, who in turn will be watched by
detectives.
There will be no assembled crowds
no addresses of welcome-no an
swering speeches. The car takes his
life in his hand when he travels
from one loyal city to another, for
nihilism is in the air, and the deadly
dynamite bomb may be hurled at any
moment from any quarter.
This ruler of 80, 100000 people
spends his life gasping under sus-
pended sword. He is always face to
face with death. He distrusts both
man and nature In each friend he
sees a possible assassin, and under
each flower breads a serpent.
. In silence and secrecy and darkness
the great ruler goes his way guarded
like prisoner of state.
1t may be very magnificent, but it
must be very unpleasant. Our repub-
lican style is much more comfortable.
Look at our President! He is not
tremendously popular, and in fact he
has many enemies, but he feels per-
fectly safe at home and abroad. A
few weeks ago he took a thirty days
swing around the circle, from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande, and from
there to the Golden Gate and back
again by different route, but he trav-
eled in the MONDAY glare OF public
ity, shaking hands with the mob, and
firing off speeches at every stopping
place.
Nobody bothered him, and he knew
in advance that everybody would treat
him we'll
A republic of law and order is worth
a dozen empires any day. A plain
little president, who can attend to bus
mess and frolic and 60 to sleep at
night without fear Of daggers or dyna-
mite, beats big, spectacular, six-footer
of car all hollow.
The American way is the best way.

THE SOUTH'S FOLLY.
Wilmington Messenger


Four car loads of furniture for the
new hotel arrived this week.-Red
Springs Farmer.
Here is the old story repeated. For
people of the advantages and oppor-
tunities of the Southern whites they
show less intelligence and less spirit of
independence than any other people
of the same grade of intelligence Of
whom we have knowledge.
Before the war they were literally
the hewers of wood and drawers of
water of the progressive and aggres-
sive North. The South enriched the
North and equipped it for the undo
ing of the South. The South cult
waited its fields and spent its money
in the North, buying everything it
used.
Is it any wiser now2 Has expert
ence-sad, deep, prolonged-taught
our people any lesson of independence
and self-reliance? If SO, how is it
manifested-in what way? So far as
we can see it is still tributary to the
enrichment of the already excessively
rich North. The South buys every
thing the North makes and makes
but little that it consumes. There
is no substantial, satisfactory, safe
progress in such blind, absurd course.
North Carolina has fine woods in
great variety and great abundance.
But what does it do? 1t sells them
at one fourth their value to the absorb
ing, srasping North. What then? 1t
buys those woods back in furniture at
price multiplied twenty, thirty, fifty,
one hundred fold. What stupidity!
Instead of manufacturing all the
furniture in the South, where the rich
and elegant timbers are, and shipping
abroad and supplying Other peoples
and lands, it goes on in the old tread
mill of bad habit and grinds away its
life for the people Of another section.
There will be no genuine progress
until such folly and stupidity stop.

HONORABLE.
baskerville CitiZen.1

Under very trying circumstances,
painful, perplexing and extraordinary,
the Prince of Wales has proved himself
an honorable gentleman.-New York
SIN.
The Prince of Wales, it is proved,
was gambling at an English country
house where baccarat was not ordi-
narily allowed to be played. 1t was
he who furnished the gambling tools,
and the game was for money. IfWales'
conduct was that of an honorable gen.
tleman, it is singular that so great
efforts were made to hush the scandal.
The Suns view is not held by the
methodists of South Wales who, day
or two ago, adopted the following:
"Resolved, That this meeting learns
with regret, from the proceedings in
the high court ofjustice, that the Prince
of Wales took part in game of bac-
carat at Tranby Croft on September
s, 1890, and thus gave countenance
to gambling in one of its most insidi-
Gus and rulnOuS forms, the force OF
his example thus encouraging vice
among the people. We respectfully
submit to his Royal Highness that
by his conduct he ohends the religious
sense of the people and drags the royal
house from the high position in which
it stood and tends to lesson the loving
and devoted affection to the throne
which has ever been cherished by us. -
These are the facts and they will
stand. The Prince of Wales is an
amateur gambler on large scale, one
who travels with his "kit" of gambling
tools. The fact that he is not ashamed
of these revelations does not make
them honorable.

COL. POLK ON THE SITUATION
ISunny Soulful

President L. l.. Polk, OF the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union, in mastery address
before the Ohio State Convention of
his organization at Columbus two
weeks ago, presented some facts which
are worth repeating here. Never be-
fore, said he, have the cities and great
corporations prospered as to-day !;
never before have there been such op-
portunities for grasping such colossal
fortunes; never before has agriculture
been in such languishing condition.
In 1850 the farmers owned 10 per
cent. of the wealth of the country in
1860 they owned 50 per cent. of it !;
in 1880 they owned 50 per cent. of it.;
and to-day they own less than ~ per
cent. Little over quarter of CEN
fury Ego this country had only two or
three millionaires, but now they are
counted by the thousands.
One half of the wealth of the country,
said MIR. Polk, is owned by $1,000
people, and the census statistics show
that there is a mortgage for every 7
persons in the United Substantially
one for every family on an average.
To the advice from some of the
prosperous class, that the farmer should
"work harder and live closer" the AL
lance president said that the very man
who gave this advice would in three
short months pay out more on his fam
lily at some fashionable watering place,
than the average farmer spends on his
family in thirteen years. To the argu-
ment that the law of supply and de-
mand is responsible for the depressed
prices of farm products, it is sufficient
answer that less per capita is produced
than when prices were much better.
The cry of cover production was
equally hollow. And two and one
fourth pounds of wheat to what each
person now consumes -; and not a
bushel left for export. Only then there
are in this country 5000, 900 of tramps
and 100000 who are either starving
or in want of "proper nutrition as
the statistical authorities mildly put it.
"Overproduction," when one-eighth of
the people of the country crave more
than they can procure, while those who
are even better-to-do, every day OF
their lives deprive themselves and their
families of that which would minister
to their comfort and good could they
but afford it. Such reasoning is hollow
mockery.- What we need is not les
production, but more equitable dis
trlbution of what we produce.
