THE OBJECTIONS STATED.

The two insuperable objections to
the nomination Of Secretary OIney are
succinctly stated by Gov. Altgeld, of
Illinois, and Editor Knapp, of the st.
Louis Republic. Gov. AItgeld said
''Inasmuch as Mr. Olney has never
come any nearer to the Democratic
fold than to play hide and seek in a
mugwump alley, and inasmuch as the
great trusts have not yet driven him
out of their rear yard, his chances
should be very good, especially in the
light of the last three Democratic con-
ventions. .
Editor Knapp, of the Republic, says:
with great respect for Mr.. Olney
as lawyer, and with no knowledge
of his achievements in political
thought or leadership, ] can only sur
mise that there is no possible combina-
ton Of delegates that could give him
the nomination. | have long believed
that no availability is worth measur-
ing except that of a Western man"

NEW YORK AND THE SOUTH.

The proposed great parade Of Union
and Confederate veterans in the city of
New York on the 4th of July next is
off. The opposition of sundry meme
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic
headed by the commander of that or
ganization has caused the abandon
ment of the suggested demonstration.
AS an evidence of the absolutely re-
newed fraternity Of the two sections
of the country, the joint parade Of the
Gray and the Blue would have been a
beautiful and inspiring object lesson.
But the tendency of many members OF
the G. A. r., to use it only as a political
machine, interferes and prevents the
patriotic display. Candidly we are
surprised that this thing has happen
ed in the Cosmopolitan City of New
York-it is in black contrast with the
sympathy, the cooperation, the frater-
nal assistance, given by the Grand
Army men and the people of Chicago
upon the occasion of the unwilling of
a memorial monument to the Confed-
crate dead in that city last year.

THE AUDITORS REPORT.

The item in the interesting anu -
eurate report of the State Andi'of ,ii''
u,;ll attract most attention Is 1he Iac1
tbat the net decrease in property val
,as in North Carolina last year reached
two and a quarter million dollars. 1t
has been generally supposed that there
would be a decrease but that it would
be chiefly in land values, but this eN-
pectation has not been realized, for
the increase in valuation outside OF
town lots amounted to SS57.206. The
increase in town lots was S4S6,S93. The
other items Of increase were: Goats,
ST .o01; hogs, $158,8o7; sheep, $3,455.
The increase is therefore along lines
that show better for the farmers than
we supposed would be the case.
The decrease of values are $4o8,889
in farming utensils, money on hand or
on deposit 5000, 1866, solvent credits ST.
1a8.143. all other personal property
So. 100 OBS. The former reports, how
ever, show that from 1891 to 1895, the
value of farming lands has decreased.
S4 .22o. 900, and a decrease on other
property making the total decrease IN
the last four years $11,587, AL. The
agitation that resulted in putting the
property of the railroads and steam
boats on the tax lists gave an increase
of $6,538,22099, making the net de
crease SIS, O49, 220.o1.
1t will be observed that the decrease
is chiefly in farming utensils, personal
property and solvent credits. The I'M
precedented low price of crops IS the
chief explanation of the falling off.
The money received for staple crops,
per pound, in the last five years has
been less than in any similar period
since 1865. In years when the cotton
crop was very large, the price was
very low. When prices ruled higher,
the crops were cut short by bad wealth
er or other conditions. The result of
this decrease of receipts for crops ac-
counts for the fact that there is less
money on hand, that solvent credits
have fallen in value, that there is a
reduction in other personal property
and it has prevented the purchase by
farmers of improved farming utensils.
The appropriations made by the Leg
islature of 1895 exceeded those made by
the Legislature of 1898, S141 ,92495, not
counting the increased cost of the Leg
islature.
Mr.. Furman estimates the per capi-
Ia tax in North Carolina S1.44 for all
purposes. State, county, education,
city. and special. Compared with the
taxation paid to the Federal treasury,
this is very small tax, but the decrease
IN the value of farm products and lands
has been so great that the sheriffs in
many counties have found it more diff
fcult to collect than usual.
The falling off in North Carolina is
much less than in Georgia and other
Southern States. 1t is matter for
regret but not for Encouragement
The people win see that they must even
more than formerly raise their own
supplies, and depend more upon them
selves, not depending more upon juster
financial legislation, which is greatly
needed, than upon their own right
arm.

SICK-POISON.
What it Is, and Where it Comes From

What it Is, and Where 1t Comes From.
Sick-poison is what makes you sick,
irritates your nerves, disorders your
functions, saps your strength, makes
YOU miserable.
Different diseases have different
poisons, some have several, Indigestion
more than any.
That is, the symptoms Of Indigestion
are caused by the poisons which are
created by undigested food
When you are sick, try to get rid
of your poison.
1t is often easier than you think, for
all nature is helping you. Only the
poison is obstinate, but the first step
is to go to the root of it.
The poisons of undigested food,
which cause lethargy, headache, dizzi-
ness, weakness, bad taste, stomach
ache, fever, aatulence, nausea, con-
stipation, loss of appetite, jaundice,
anaemia, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc,
these poisons can be swept away and
annihilated by the Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
Curing the stomach and helping it
to digest food, when it is too weak to
do so by itself, viii purify your system
of poison and renew your strength and
health.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a pure,
vegetable, digestive tonic, made by the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, will cure
all disorders caused by the poisons of
undigested food when nothing else will
give any relief.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents for a
trial bottle.

The gold Democrats in Kentucky
now ask Senator Blackburn to retire
and let them try their luck at electing
a gold Democrat. 1t is hardly proba-
bic that he will comply with the re-
quest, though he will hate to ignore
the wishes Of those patriotic gold men
who have voted for him on every bal
lot. If the handful Of gold boilers
had voted for Blackburn, he could have
been elected. His withdrawal might
result in the election of a Republican,
and it may be safely predicted if such
u result is likely to follow, Mr.. Black
burn will remain in the race.

Maj. IT. Il. Grant writes long ar

yor Of continuing fusion with the Pop
ulists from top to bottom, along the
line Of the Pritchard letter He says
that victory means more to Eastern

any silver party or the election Of any
President" Being interpreted this
means that the turning over the East

desirable than free coinage. What do

SMALL RAILROAD LINES

The number Of small railroad lines
ID the South which have been built
within recent years is remarkably
large. Their owners are principally
lumber and mining companies, who
have constructed them originally for
carrying timber, ore, etc, to mills and
furnaces or to some larger system with
which they usually connect. The
Manufacturers Record has been com
piling summary of these private rail-
road lines in the Southern States
which shows that about 1880, 900
capital is now invested in them, and
that the mileage is very extensive. In
North Carolina alone nearly three
hundred miles OF such lines have been
built The longest private road is in
Southern Texas. 1t is a tram road
seventy-fve miles in extent. In Ken
tucky, North Carolina, Texas and
Georgia the investment Of capital in
these roads has exceeded S1,00O,000 in
each case. The figures given by the
Manufacturers Record show that the
greater number have been very profit
able, one line in North Carolina earn
ing ten per cent in annual dividends,
while another company has built fiji
teen miles of extension from the
profits Of twenty-five miles in opera
ton.
