Doroughty then of Pennsylvania,
who placed Hancock in nomination
for president in 1850. He wrote:
"Gov. Hubbard's speech in the
national convention, seconding the
nomination OF Gen. Hancock for
president, was one OF the most
thrilling and eloquent I ever listened
to, and have heard many. Thous-
ands were spell-bound as he sketched
Gen. Hancock's noble career as
military governor of Texas ana
Louisiana, and the love the south
bore for the great soldier"

Washington March 2-The cases long
pending in the Supreme Court of United
States as to the validity of the bonds is
sued by North Carolina under ord nance
of the constitutional convention OF 1868,
of the Chatham Railroad, were decided
today in favor Of the State.
The constitution of 1868 gave to the
Supreme Court of the United States the
power to hear claims against the State
and recommended them to the legislature
tor appropriation if sustained. An
amendment to the constitution adopted
in 1880, took away thispower of the Su
preme Court. When plaintiffs in these
cases asked the State court to pass up
their claims for the amount of bonds
and oupons held by same, they held that
it's power to do SO had been taken away
by the amendment referred to. The
Supreme Court of the United States held
that there was no impairment of the
power given- to the State Supreme Court
in the constitution Of 1868. The judg
ment of the Stats court in favor of the
State was affirmed. r.

THERE is war in the air. Every day
brings on some now trouble. 1t has
been a few weeks only since tho United
States and England were standing growl-
ing in each others face and be-
fore England had again got her face
straight Germany was standing with
sleeves rolled up and fists clinched just
spelling for fight AS these mighty
war clouds blew away Uncle Sam and
Spain seem as if they would have a few
rounds because of the Cuban war with
Spain But the day seems past for wars.
Any nation, to day, will think many
times before going to war with any
other nation Wars are not what they
once were they did not mean half so
much as now. When two nations com
to war in this time of great and advanced
grave one and one that can not possibly
be settled without arms. When two
considerable nations fight many coun-
tries become involved before the end is
reached. Thousands of ways to escape
wars stare you in the face when
you think over any disputed ques-
ton. But it does seem that Uncle Sam
is rough and ready to grab anything that
comes along and make ;'has been" out
of it. His upper lip is curled and his
teeth are shining-waiting to be touched
