A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.

New Discovery in the house, and his
family has always found the very best
results follow its use; that he would
not be without it, procurable. G. A.

undoubtedly the best Cough remedy;
that he has used it in his family for
eight years, and it has never failed to

END OF THE ARLINGTON SUITS.

The last of the suits in the Mrs. p.
d. b. Arlington cases disappeared upon
the dockets of Wake court last week.
In no instance was she able to prove
the charges she had preferred against
several members of the bar, and in
every case that was tried those whom
she had charged with unprofessional
or dishonorable conduct were exoner-
ated by the jury. In those cases that
did not reach the jury, there was the
same want Of evidence. If Mrs. Ar
rington has been wronged, as she
claims and doubtless believes, she has
failed to prove to the satisfaction of
honest jurors and honorable judges
thatNthe wrongs were committed by
those whose names she used most
freely.
The fiasco Of the drunken majority
of the Peedy-bee committee, followed
by the failure Of all the suits, brings
to an end chapter of litigation and
legislative inquiry that has been UNI
precedented in its character in the his
tory of the State.

Judge Ewart in his political speech
in Newbern declared in favor of frl-
sion with the Populists on State Of
fees, but not on an electoral ticket.
This means that the Republicans want
help from the Populists to get control
of the State, but that as they think
they have 4 cinch on the presidency
they don't want to divide the national
offices. Things are getting clearer day
by day as TO what the Republicans
want.

OUGHT MONEY MAKERS TO COY
ERN?

The trouble with many men in these
days of superficial thinking is that
they think men who have made money
are more competent to deal with great
public questions than men of moderate
fortunes or men of no fortune at all.
The truth is that experience teaches
us that the contrary is true. The great
est man North Carolina has produced,
the man of most unerring judgment,
the late Senator Vance, was not a mon
ely maker. He was all the better quail
fed to teach correct economic ques-
tions. Men who make money, as a
rule, have been so engrossed in the af-
fairs of their own particular business
that they have not had time for a study
along broad lines of economic ques-
tions. They know the method of MAX
ing money, but do not know the under
lying principles of finance. They are
too busy for that, and if they were not
too busy their experience has directed
their study along the narrow lines of
their own experience. John i. Nor
gan knows more about finance than
j. Pierpont Morgan.
The greatest thinkers have not been
the great money makers. Richard
Golden, who gave bread to the poor by
agitating until he secured the repeal
of the corn law, was so deeply in debt
that friends raised 100000 to pay his
debts, and free him from embarrass-
ment. The public were appealed to in
behalf of Alexander Halnilton's fami-
ly when he had fallen at the hands of
Burr, and he is regarded by all the
financiers who believe that debt is es-
sential to government financiering as
the greatest man who has filed the of
flee of Secretary of the Treasury.
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster were
always in debt and needed money.
The example of poverty in these
great men is not given to encourage the
belief that it was in this that their
greatness consisted, but to present
facts against the modern theory that
public men ought either to have a
massed fortune themselves, or ought
to trust implicitly on the advice of the
millionaires for the proper way to adj
minister the Treasury Department
We hold with Macauley:
ssWhiIe it is far better, without ques-
ton, that a great minister should car
ry his contempt of money to excess
than to contaminate his hands with
unlawful gain, it is neither right nor
becoming in man to whom the public
has given an income more than suf-
ficient for his comfort and dignity TO
bequeath TO his constituents large
debt"
tits doubtful whether the public men
of this day, who have become unac-
countably rich on a salary of $1,000 a
year, are better public servants than
those who bequeathed debts to their
constituents. The best public men are
those are neither over careful nor care
less about their money obligations
but who think more about what is
best for the whole people than about
lettering their individual fortunes.

The Republicans are wondering how
long Capt. w. H. Day viii stay with
them this time. A careful reading Of

his flop to voting the National Repub-
ncan ticket. He reserves the right to
vote for good government in North
Carolina, if he feels SO disposed.

FARcICAL PUNISHMENT.

If ever there was farce Of justice il
was in the sentence upon Miss Eliza
beth Flagler by the Washington court
4 colored boy stole one of her pears
she flew into an "ungoyernable pas
sion," and fired shot which "happen-
ed to be fatal, and made a defence OF
''unvoluntary homicide" For this, the
aristocratic lady was fined $500 and
sentenced to three hours in Jail. Here
she was received in the matron's room
accompanied by friends and her law
yers, and it was more of reception
than a punishment.
Such farcical punishments as these
breed distrust and contempt of law.

NICARAGUA CANAL COMMISSION.
A Report of It's Investigations Pre-
sented to the House Committee.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Nicaragua
canal commission, which visited the isthmus
last summer, presented some features of it's
side Of the canal question before the house
committee today. Engineer Endcott, U. s.
N, a member Of the commission. was the
witness. He resented the statements by War
ner Miller and Engineer Menocal, of the canal
company, that the investigations by the COM
mission had been of cursory nature. Mr..
Endicott was asked if he thought the canal
would be a danger to the United States, in
case Of war. He replied that in the event Of
war with nation like Great Britain, the gov
ernment would be obliged to abandon the
canal, but might solve the problem by blow
ing UP the locks. From a military point of
view, the canal was desirable. The present
value of all the work done by the company
Mr.. Endicott estimated at $5000 His esti-
mate Of the value of the company's property
when in good condition, was 81, ,250, 600. He
did not believe the canal could be built for
$65, ,000, 600, the company's estimate, even con-
ceding Mr.. MenocaPs plans to be feasible
The question being asked whether, If the gov
ernment was willing to pay s133, ,000, 900 for
the canal, 1t would be advisable to begin work
at once, the engineer replied that the govern
ment should make more satisfactory surveys
and estimates before going forward.

the ways and means committee, who held a
caucus and discussed the whole question.
They decided to report to the house the testi-
mony on the reciprocity policy taken by the
committee during the past few weeks. but not
to recommend any legislation on the matter
by this congress. The reciprocity scheme in
cludes many problems interviewer with the
tariff that the Republicans think it inadvis-
able to take 1t up until a general tariff re-
vision Is begun.
