LIFE IN THE GREAT CITIES.
It's Tendency Is Not to Enervate Ma
tions.

It's Tendency Is Not to Enervate Ma
tions.
And as to the tendency of the growth
OF great cities to enervate nations there
is no proof of it at all unless we iden lily
the life of great cities with the passion
for idleness and pleasure and sclf-in-
dulgence, which sometimes, but by no
means universally, accompanies their
growth, says the London Spectator.
When you get large proletariat liy-
ing, as that of ancient Rome and pos
sibly of Nineveh and Babylon did, on
the. aims Of the rich and powerful, then
no doubt you have the conditions of
a thoroughly unnatural and un. caIthy
life, ard no one can wonder at IL. rapid
decay of such cities and of the atiops
which gloried in them. But WI re the
honest working class far out1. mbers
the proletariat, where the middle
classes of distributors and n nufac-
turers and professional men a, labor
ious and energetic, and even t! class
that lives on its accumulated wealth
contains considerable sprin,'';ng of
serious and disintcrested worl RS, VIC
60 not believe that there is the smallest
evidence Of any greater danger in the
life of the city than in the lif2 of the
agricultural village of the pastoral
tribe. Indeed, we should regard Olive
Schreiner's picture of the life of the
modern Beers as indicating a condr-
ton of things more prolific Of morbid
elements, with its almost complete abb
sence of any stirring or active intclli-
gence, than any kind of modern life
that is honestly lahorious Mt all. The
Boer life is too sleepy, too destitute Of
stirring thought or effort, to he alto
ecther natural. It needs at least the
old element Of danger and necessary
vigilance to render it even brating.

Contracted for by Subscription In the
Rhineland Village Of OberringelheIm.
1t is custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk at the conservation
OF a new church. This custom has
been regarded as unlovely and un-
Christian by many influential Germans
OF the new school, most notably by EN-
peror William H., but still it remains
unretormed. and the comic weeklies do
not tire of depicting the scenes, in and
out of the police court, that follow the
conservation sprees and fights. Some
three weeks ago the festival of a new
church was celebrated in Oberringel-
helm, in the Rhine country. In antici-
patton of the usual trade in exhilarat-
ing liquors saloonkeeper who does
business near the sacred edifice adver-
tised thus in the Rhineland Observer:
Jacob Muller herewith pledges him
self for subscription price of three
marks (75 cents) to serve every one
OF his guests with as much wine as he
can drink on the occasion of the church
conservation.
Inviting my friends and patrons to
visit me in response to this request, I
remain, respectfully yours,
Jacob Muller"
Within an hour after the newspapers
containing this advertisement ap-
peared, 80 citizens of little Oberringel-
helm bought subscription tickets from
Muller. At the current price of or
dinary loose wine in the Rhine country,
each of the 80 and their colleagues in
this speculation had to drink 16 large
Glasstuls before he could begin to bene-
fit by the subscription tariff. The
final results of the speculation cannot
be known until the police court reports
Of the Oberringelheim district arrive
with the newspapers from the con-
tinent.

Some papers and some peopl
are saying the oolored republicans
will not support Russell for gov
ernor. They have paid little at
tention to things political the
past thirty years, or their n emory
is sadly at fault. Never in all
this time has the colored element
tailed to kick at the action of the
conventions and breath most
dire vengeance against the nomi-
nees, yet they have just as persist
emily and regularly gone to the
polls on election day and de-
posted their ballot for the party
candidate. Let no body fool
themselves. Some of the colored
voters will hold outa long time il
hope of being paid to stop kick
ing, but in November they will
vote for Russell, and the balance
of the ticket as certainly as the
sun rises and sets on that day.

republican forces from the state
convention that last night n M
mated Russell for governor. In
consequence he published this
afternoon in the Goldsboro
Daily Argus the following letter
which speaks for itself:

saying but a true one that self
preservation is the first law Of

ciple from mistaken standpoint

my preservation as a purely
business question, l have Of late
lent my aid and influence to the
furtherance of the policy of
protection championed by Nc
Kinley and advocated by the
republican party and I have
gone SO far as to permit myself
to be named as delegate from

to the st. Louis National re-
publican convention. But, Mr..
Editor, today in the city of

other dark epochs in history,

influence of democracy and en-
joying only the pacific blessings
and elevating experience that
appertain to its supp emacy, l
could not comprehend what
"the men of old" endured, nor
could NV mind formulate a pic
ture so dark as their words
painted. Today in Goldsboro l
am able to approximate from
what democracy has delivered
the state and to what we are
again tending. l am greeted
here by a seething, surging mass
of conglomerated humanity,
bowling negroes and exultant
white men, arm in arm, bearing
aloft a banner with the painted
picture of sd. L. Russell, our

Mckinley badges "on the side. /"
And this is the party with
which / have become allied and

But what would industry, how
ever much exerted, amount to
