eral Garcia Navarro, who went from San
tiago to Manzanillo with 1900 men and
Joined General La Chambre. returned few
days later to Santiago minus 5OO men.
Most of them had died of disease-princi-
pally yellow fever and dysentery
Gen. Martinez Campos was at Cienfuegos
for several days, but he has now gone to
Manzanillo, 1t Is said. While at Cienfuegos
he stuck close to the steamship Vtllaverdo,
being unwilling, as he said, to come ashore
and be feted after his defeat. For the same
reason he did not come to Havana. He look
ed worn and low-spirited. 1t is understood
that he has cabled home advising the gov
ernment to be prepared kfor important ana
unfavorable advices from here in the near
future.
You will perhaps not be surprised to hear
that Gen. Salcedo has been ordered back
to Spain on sick leave. But the real rea-
son was MS massacre of unarmed Cubans.

left Santiago to Join the revolution. he had
them intercepted and summarily shot It

BRICE SARCASTIC.

Senator Calvin Brice grew quite
sarcastic the other day in speaking
of third term for Mr.. Cleveland.
The Senator, who is a member of the
Democratic National Committee, is
quoted as saying:
81 am going to the committee
meeting loaded with set of resolu-
tions. They will recite that whereas
Cleveland is the only man the Demo
cratic party has who is equal to the
Office of President, and further,
whereas, he has had the formulation
of the Democratic platforms for the
past three conventions, and further,
whereas, he wants a third term, and
has already elected himself; therefore
Resolved, That we duly declare
him nominated and elected for his
third term Then we can go home.
our duty done.''
Evidently, Brice would rejoice to
see Cleveland relegated to the
domain which he himself will soon
occupy-among the "have beens." A
great many people may coincide
with him, but would prefer that the
President get there voluntarily
rather than in Brice's way OF being
! forced there,

"rhe Old Rom an at Rest"

Baltimore Sun.
Allen g. Thurman is entitled to a
high place in the front rank of Amer
lean statesmen He occupied the best
positions of honor and trust, short
of the presidency, which his fellow
citizens could confer upon him. And
this fact is encouraging and notable
in that it shows that the people do
recognize worth and merit, and that
it is not merely the selfish and adroit
demagogue who reaches high office.
Judge Thurman was never a seeker
after place or office. He was a pure
patriot and an honest man. While
he held to his political principles,
which were the principles OF the Dem
ocratic party, with firmness and up
held them with holiness, he was
never a bitter partisan. His mind
was judicial and fair. and he was
always for even handed justice. "Mr.
Thurman's rank in the Senate" said
James G. Blaine, "was established
from the day he took his seat and
was never lowered during the period
of his service. He was an admirably
disciplined debater, was fair in his
method of statement, logical in his
argument, honest in his conclusions.
He had no tricks in discussion, no
catch phrases to secure attention.
but was always direct and manly"

PRIVILEGED PISTOL ToTERs

The other day the ST. Louis Re-
public had a spicy description of a
courtroom scene in that city.
1t seems that the solicitor in open
court dropped his pistol on the floor.
He quickly replaced it in his pocket,
but the lawyers and spectators
smiled and the judged on the bench
showed his undisguised amusement.
One of the next cases called was
against a man who was charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
The solicitor was not inclined to
press it and the judge consented to
have it mol pressed.
This is trifing with justice. The
law should be no respector of per-
sons. When an official whose duty
it is to prosecute pistol toters be-
comes a pistol toter himself he
should be made to suffer the full
penalty of such an offense.-Atlanta
Constitution.
There is both common seuse and
good law in the above comments,
which applies with equal force to
other illegal acts of prosecuting
officers as they do to pistol toting
We understand that occasion will be
given at the next term of our Court
for dealing with a prosecuting officer
for viola ton of law. If so, we shall
see whether it is laughed off OF
whether the offender is made to toe
the mark like other offenders.

THE VANCE STATUE.

1t remains a matter for surprise a s
well as an Indication of poor man
agement that no systematic steps
have been devised for raising the
Vance statue fund. The work can be
speedily accomplished when it is
taken hold Of and prosecuted IN a
business way and it is pity
that this noble undertaking should
be permitted to drift along in a
hap hazard manner. If there is not
a central committee to supervise
and direct the matter, there should
be one. If there is such a committee,
it should go to work in an intelli
gent way or give place to a commit
tee that will do SO. This is plain
talk, but the situation seems to
Justify it. We do not at all like the
idea of North Carolinians appearing
Indifferent about honoring the mem
DRY of the States most universally
beloved son. when we believe that
the only fact that gives color to such
appearance is the. lack of proper
direction.

The joys of Christmas.

Ole of the most blessed things
about Christmas is that it makes so
many people feel young, writes Ed
ward w. Box in December Ladies'
Home journal. 1t is the one season
OF the year when everybody feels
that they can dismiss abstruse
thoughts, put dignity aside, forget
the worries of the world, and for a
time return to their youth. 1t al
ways seems pity that men try to
conceal this feelingso often at Christ
mas. Only a few men are capable of
being gracefully caught in the act of
making a miniature train of cars go
over the carpet. Catch them at it a
night or two before Christmas, and
nine out of every ten will instantly
get up from the carpet, brush the
dust from the knees of their trousers
for dust will get on the carpets of
the best-regulated homes-and i'm
mediately begin to apologize. l
have often wondered why men resent
being caught in this way. But a
woman feels differently, and it is a
blessed thing that she does.

NOT A "WALKOVER"

Mr.. Carter, of the Republican
National Committee, has already
sounded a warning to his party that
it "need not expect a walkover for
next year." Commenting upon this
expression, the New York World
says:
ga great many things may happen
before the next national election, but
even if nothing unusual should hap
pen to disturb the existing condi-
tions, it would still be unvise to
count with too much assurance on a
swalkover' for the Republican ticket.
The utmost that the Republican
party is able to promise the country
is that it will do nothing to disturb
the established basis of business. A
do-nothing policy is never winning
policy in a popular contest, and if
the business affairs of the country
are to be let alone, they can be most
safely left in the hands of the party
responsible for the existing condi-
tions. The Republican party is not
only 6o-nothing party. 1t is a
boss ridden party. It is a pluto
cratic party. 1t has record of I'M
sound financial legislation. 1t is a
money-wasting, misunderstanding,
defcit-producing party. 1t has been
repudiated and punished by the peo-
pie. 1t is on trial again, and if it
does not bring forth fruits meet for
repentance, it will be repudiated
again. 1t has not a walkover next
year by any means"

GRATIFYING OUTLOOK.

Very familiar to SENTINEL readers
are such expressions as these:
"We need a new courthouse.
"We ought to have new court
house."
These expressions were true all
along and are true now, but recent
events give a brighter coloring to the
situa ton and it affords us very
great pleasure to say what we have
so long desired to say, and that is
this:
We ARE GOING TO HAVE A NEW
COURTHOUSE!
And we are going to have it in the
near future-most likely during the
next year.
Of this there is reasonable assur-
ance since the present Supreme
Court has affirmed the precedent of
it's predecessor that the County Com.
missioners have the authority to
borrow money for the purpose of
supplying this public necessity-a
precedent which was pointed out
two or three years ago in a CORE
spondence to THE SENTINEL by Col.
Thomas II. Sutton, then a citizen of
Winston, and which precedent was
officially brought to the attention of
the Board of County Commissioners,
some months since, by Judge George
II. Brown, Jr., who saw that the
miserable excuse we have for a
Temple of Justice was altogether
inadequate to the needs of the public
and entirely out of keeping with the
demands of a rich and prosperous
county.
The action of Judge Brown threw
light and encouragement upon the
situation and brought hope where it
had been well nigh abandoned. This
was followed by the resolution of the
Commissioners to build and then
came the friendly suit to secure the
opinion of the present Supreme
Court, which opinion was handed
down Monday and affirms Judge
Browns position, and sets at rest
any fear of legal quibbling as to the
authority of the Commissioners to
erect the building.
1t is presumed that the Commits
sioners will proceed as early as
practicable with their plans and that
before the year 1896 draws to close
Forsyth county will be provided with
what it has SO long needed-a decent
aud commodious and comfortable
building in which to transact it's
business.
The prospect OF securing this much
needed Improvement should be a
source of qualification to every
citizen of the county whoi is possessed
with public spirit and a concern for
the comfort and convenience of the
lar. er number of people who trans
act business at the county court
f! house.

Buying q Husband.

Out in Indiana an old lady of
seventy>four offered $40, 900 for a
young husband. An enterprising
fellow of twentyesix came forward,
but the woman's family sued out a
writ of lunacy to prevent her from
marrying. The jury pronounced
her sane, and she eloped with her
purchase and married him.
The Chicago Record in comments
ing on this case makes the point
that short time ago young wo-
man in New York wanted husband
with title, and got him after big
sum of several million dollars had
been settled upon him by her rela,
tiyes. No body limited that the New
York girl was insaLe. On the COM
t~ary society thought that she had
distinguished herself.
Our Chicago contemporary thinks
that it makes a difference when the
purchased husband is an imported
article with title. If he is home
product the woman who offers q
good price for him is supposed to be
crazy.

TIL Popular Loan Bill.

New York Herald.
Hov that he depletion of the gold
reserve in the United States Treasury
has already caused the issue of two
lots of bonds in about a year, the
present Congress will perhaps better
appreciate the Popular Loan bill
introduced in the House yesterday
by Representative Cummings, of this
city, than the preceding Congress
did.
That loan has become a necessi,
ty is shown by the fact that the gold
reserve has shrunk considerably
below eighty millions. and there is
reason to expect that still further
sums will be taken for export.
By enabling our own people to put
their savings into United States
bonds of small denominations the
sums that will be paid for interest
will be mostly retained in this coun
try, and thus one drain upon the
gold reserve will be cut off.

wasted or applied to less profitable
use than if it was converted into
commercial value by the canning
process.
Go into any large grocery house
and observe the many canned and
bottled and barreled vegetables and
fruits, which can be grown SO cheap
ly here, but for the bulk of which we
depend year after year upon North
ern canning establishments, and if
you will take time to think q little
this condition of things will appear
unwise and you will wonder that a
change has not long since taken
place.
For a long, long time the South
depended upon the North for the
manufacture of her staple product,
cotton, but her eyes have been
opened along this line and now the
South is fast becoming, as it should
be and should long ago have been,
the great cotton manufacturing
center of the world. We need to get
our eyes open to the Importance of
the canning industry and the great
possibilities towards which it points
the way.
The demand for these goods is
immense in this country and our
export trade is rapidly growing.
For the first eight months OF 1895,
the quantity of canned vegetables
exported increased over one hundred
per cent, and canned fruits about
forty per cent.
Referring to this subject, the Allan
ia Constitution says:
"The farmers and fruit growers OF
the South should take hold of this
industry in every county. They are
una BILE at present to ship their fruit
and vegetables to distant markets
at profit, but in their canned shape
they may be sold to every nation,
and as they can be kept for a long
period without injury it is much
easier to market them to advantage
than it is to sell them as raw
| material.
The cost of erecting a canning
| factory runs from few hundred
( dollars for a small concern up to
thousands for a large establishment
There is practically no limit to the
demand for these goods at home
and abroad, and there is no reason
why the South should not take the
lead in this industry. 1t seems to b.
the only way to make money out {
