SHAM PATRIOTISM.

When Commissioner Blount orde .
ed the American flag hauled down at
Honolulu Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts, introduced
a resolution asking why that had
been done. He was answered very
properly by a Democratic Senator
who moved to amend by asking why
it had ever been raised there. 1t is
just such sham patriotism that is the
disgust of all reasonable men, but it
has always suited the extreme Re
publican politician to refer to the
Stars and Stripes as if that party
had made the banner originally and
had owned it absolutely ever since.
This spirit is of the same order that
tried to create a martyr out of an
American sailor who was killed in a
drunken riot at Valparaiso, and to
preclpltate a costly naval conflict
with the weak Republic of Chill.

SOUTHERN FICTION.

In the April sfArena'' is an article
by Hanatin Garland, novelist of
recent fame who in this article en-
titled THE Future OF Fiction writes
as follows in relation to the fiction of
the South:
''The local novel seems to be the
heir apparent to the kingdom of
poesy. tits already the most promis-
ing of all literary attempts today;
certainly it is the most sincere 1t
seems but beginning it's work It is
hOpelessly contemporaneous; that is
its strength. 1t is Cat its best) I'M
affected, natural, emotional. 1t is
sure to become all powerful. 1t will
redeemed the South from its conven-
tional and highly wrought roman
ticism.
"The fiction of the South has risen
from the dead. 1t is now in the
spring season of shooting wildling
plants and timorous blades of sown
grains. It's future il assured. It's
soil is fertilized with the blood oftrue
men Its women are the repositories
OF great, vital sincere, emotional ex-
periences which will inevitably ap
pear in their children, and at last in
art, and especially in fiction. The
Southern people are in the midst of
battle more momentOus than the
rebellion, because it is the result of
the rebellion; that is, the battle of
entrenched privilege against the
swiftly spreading Democratic idea of
equality before the law and in the
face of nature.
"They have a terrible, nightly
dramatic race problem on their
hands. The South is the meeting
place of winds. 1t is the seat of swift
and almost incalculable change;
will this change, this battle,
| HIS strife of invisible powers,
is about tto-enter their fiction; the
negro has entered It. He has brought
a musical speech to his masters, and
to the new fiction. He has brought
strange and pleading song into
music. The finest writer's of the New
South already find him a never fail
ing source of interest. He is not of
course, the only object of Southern
fiction, nor even the principal figure;
but he is a necessary part and most
absorbingly interesting part. The
future OF fiction in the South will also
depict the unreconstructed rebel un-
reservedly, and the race problem
without hate or contempt or anger,
for the highest art will be the catho-
lie in it's sympathy. 1t will delineate
vast contending forces, and it will be
a great literature

THE NRwSPAPkR

There is better authority for the
press of the day than dyspeptics,
pessimists, or traducers. Chas. Dud-
ley Warner very properly says: "The
modern newspaper is not freak.
You made it. 1t grows out of our
social relations. You can trace it's
evolutions easily. 1t is part of
society. AS We say that every COM
munity has the criminals it deserves,
we may as truly say that every COM
munity has the newspapers it de-
serves. In my experience almost
every newspaper is better than it's
constituency"
Some instructive words are thos g
delivered by Col. A. K. Mcclure,
editor of the Philadelphia Times, be-
fore a Boston audience recently on
the subject of 1.-THE Editor and the
Public" We quote the following
"There is no subject in which the
public is interested which is notmade
a pant OF the journalism of this age,
and therefore the editor of today is
brought directly into contact with

versally accepted as the leader and

simply learn the rudiments of eduea-
tion-they learn simply to fit them

Many of them learn little more than
that and large majority of them
are to start out in life with opinions
to be formed, and they depend solely
upon the newspaper to form them.
They do not turn to it for their con
victions; they read its news, its
editorials and it's selections every

BELGIUM has had bloodless revo-
luton. There had been combina-
ten of industrial and political dis
content in that little nation. The
Industrial classes asked for universal
suffrage. The Chamber of Deputies
not long ago rejected their demand
by an overwhelming vote A great
agitation followed. Strikes occurred
and there were collisions between the
people and the military. AT length
the masses triumphed.

NORTH CAROLINA GEMS.

1t has been said that every gem
known to the lapidary has been found
in the United States. Certain it is
that by far the largest variety ofthe
gems found in this country are found
in n arth Carolina. The discovery of
emerald and hiddenite in Alexander
county several years ago has given
rise to a new industry of incalculable
value to the State, and the search
for gems, though limited by lack of
facilities. has already attained con
siderable proportions.
A list of the more important gems
includes diamond, hiddenite, emer
aid, aquamarine, ruby, sapphire,
kyanite, rock crystal, opal, agate,
garnet, zircon, amethyst and topaz.
Hiddenite is an emerald green varie-
ty of spodumene found at Stony
Point, Alexander county, where it
occurs in the soil and in cavities in
gneissoid rock. 1t was named after
Mr.. VIM E. Hidden, of New Jersey,
by Prof. J. Laurence Smith, who
of Mr. Hidden is due it's introduction
as a gem ofcommercial value. Speci-
mems of the native crystal were, how
ever, in the possession OF MrJ A. d.
Stevenson, of Statesville, n c., TOR
several wears prior to this time,

Thirteen small diamonds have been
found in the gold bearing gravel beds
of the State.
The ruby, sapphire, topaz, anne
thyst, and aquamarine, are all cor
undums Of different colors. Anne
thyst quartz varies in color from
very light blue to very dark purple.
When heated, it turns yellow and
much of the yellow quartz or topaz
is manufactured by heating anne
thysts.

great beauty are abundant anu foEEee=

tiffany and Co utilize many North
Carolina aquamarines and heryls,
and in their Blue Book for 1898 is
given d list of useful and ornamental
articles which they make from rock
crystal. Among these are jewel
cases, honhonnieres, vinaigrettes,
hand mirrors, clock cases, and
various small objects of art. They
also use gems OF lesser value for belt
buckles aud parasol handles.
Rings set with birth month stones
maintain their popularity, and,
strange enough, ten out ofthe twelve
gems superstitiously ascribed to the
months Of the year are found in this
State Another pretty conceit is
that of having names, notices, and
initials spelled in precious stones.

that the carat used in estimating the
weight of gems is a grain of Indian

and intrinsic worth gems have been
in all ages and times a great weak

passion for amethysts is well known.
Pope Julius IL. wore in his tiara an
exquisite aquamarine two inches in
diameter The tomb of Mohammed
is CT listed with jewels to the value of

1t is recorded that Sultan Nah
moud selfishly exhausted the famous
mines OF Goleonda to enrich his own
treasury; but it will be many years
before the wealth of the mines OF

South, will be appreciably lessened,
