4 CASE OF SECTIONAL DYSPEPSIA.

Mr.. J. Sterling Morton, the kid
glcved. tan-shoed, satin-vested, part
your-hair-in-the-m farmer mem
Der Of Mr.. Clevcland's Cabinet, has been
up to Biltmore for few days feeding
on rich mountain bread and breezes,
and returned TO Washington with u
case of sectional dyspepsia, This wild
Westerner, whom official position has
made a universal censor and autocrat
mas nothing butcontempt for the honest
and intelligent people whose hospitali-
ty he enjoyed for a short season. Laud-
ing Mr. Vanderbilt and berating and
disappearing the people Of Bun
combe, he said, upon his return to
Washington
THE people down there talk
about the enormous amount Of
money that Mr.. Vanderbilt is invest
ing to CRAFTY his taste and pride,
to provide luxuries for his appe-
tite, and magnificent displays to
hatter his vanity; but the poor
creatures do not comprehend the
first letter in the alphabet Of his
ambition. Their vision is not broad
enough, their intelligence is not
sufficient tograsp asingle fragment
of the idea he is developing; and,
while they imagine it's all due to
selfishness, he is a benefactor work
ing for them. They talk about the
land being worn out down there in
North Carolina. It's the people!
The land is all right, if brains and
energy were APPLIED to its cultiYa-
ton"
This need not trouble the good peo-
pie of Buncombe. 1t is but the vapor-
ing of disappointed ofiiceholder who
didn't have a solitary friend in Con-
gress to raise his voice in his defence
when man after man of them, Demo
Gratis, Republicans and Populists, were
roasting him. If he had any friends in
Congress that was the time to speak, or
else forever hereafter to hold their
peace.
Mr.. Morton visits all his resentment
against Congress upon the unof-
tending people of Buncombe. 1t is
their misfortune that his visit to Ashe-
vile afforded him the first opportunity
to let off his gall outside of Washing
ton. But it will do them no harm

THE LATE COL. W. j. MARTIN.

/ Devoted His Life to His State, His
Church and the Cause of Education.
To the Editor: kilograms have al
ready announced the death on yester-
day of Col. w. j. Martin, but some more
extended notice of his life and services
to the State and church and to the
cause Of education in the South are due
bis memory
Col. Martin was born in 1880, in Rich
mond. Va He was a student of the
University of Virginia from 1851-54
Near the close of his course he was of
fered professorship in Washington
College, Pa, to accept which he had to
leave the University before taking his
NJ. A. degree. This was afterwards con
ferred on him by Columbian Univer-
sity, in 1887 by Hampden Sidney and in
1889 the University Of North Carolina
gave him the degree of Ii. ID.
For ten years, 1857-67, he was con-
nected with the University of North
Carolina, a connection so satisfactory
that some years ago he was again in
vited by the University to membership
in its faculty. He was in active army
service throughout the war, and bears
the scars as marks of his valor to his
grave. His war record was brilliant
one, marked by very great bravery
He had the true instincts and the bear
ing of a soldier and captain. He was
man fitted by nature and by nobility
Of heart to win the confidence and to
command the respect and obedience of
his soldiers. just at the close of the war
he was promoted to the rank of Briga-
dier General, but he never served in

is M'KINLEY'S PLAN BETTER
THAN ALGER'S.

The Democrats will welcome the
nomination of Mr.. Mckinley. 1t was
under the operation of the bill that
bears his name that the surplus in the
Treasury was converted into a def
cheney, and that the panic of 1898
burst with all it's fury on the country.
He is a very respectable man who has
but one song in his repertoire, and
that is '"Tlle Way to Make the People
Prosperous is to Increase Their Taxes"
If he cannot be defeated, no Republican
.caa.
Upon the money question ''he talks
nit you but drinks NIT me- He is all
things to all men in his speeches, but
Mr.. Sherman is authority for saying
that Mckinley holds the same views
that the distinguished Ohio gold-bug
entertains. He is going to be nominal
ed, if at all, by the Doodle campaign
that his hackers are waging, the mon
ey coming from those who expect to
get IL back by an even higher robbery
Of the people for the favorites than
was incorporated in the Mckinley bill.
1t is an egen more seandalous exhibit
ton than when Alger purchased the
Southern delegates at fixed price.
Alger paid for them out of his own
pockets. Mckinley hackers are buying
them with money extorted from the
protected interests hy promise that
If Mckinley wins they shall have Ii
cense to tax the people to reimburse
themselves and add as much more as
they want.

THE TWO-THIRDs RULE.

In the approaching Democratic Ma
fional Convention it seems certain that
neither the gold men nor the silver
men will be able to secure the necessary
two-thirds required to nominate can
didate. 1t is this probable fact that
makes the outcome Of that convention
so uncertain. The silver men will Ger
tainIy have the majority Of the Plat
form committee, and will present the
majority report to the convention.
Then will come the tug of war.
The two-thirds rule, which has pre-
vailed in all Democratic National Con-
ventions since 1882, The first National
Democratic Convention ever held,
was offered by Romulus M. Saunders,
Of North Carolina, and the object of
it was to give the Southern men some
thing of a veto, if they stood together,
on the action of the convention The
resolution originally read:
"Resolyed, That each State be en-
aitled. in the nomination to be
made of a candidate for the vice
presidency, to q number of votes
equal to the number that they will
be entitled to in the electoral col
leges under the new appoFtiOn-
ment in voting for President and
Vice President, and that two-thirds
of the whole number of votes in
the convention shall be necessary
to constitute a choice"
With the exception of permitting
6wice as many delegates to each State
as it has votes i'm the electoral college
it has never been departed from in
the Democratic conventions. There
has been opposition to it, and in May,
1914 an attempt was made to change
it, but it failed by vote Of 148 to lis.
in 1892, before the convention, when
it was thought that Mr.. Cleveland
could not get a two-thirds vote, there
was much expression among his sup
porters in favor of changing the time
honored custom, but the attempt was
not made in the convention. We may
see a fight for it's absoration this year
by that element in the party that has
a majority

CONGRESSMAN SETTLE TALKS.
He isn't Claiming Everything For Reed
as he Was Last Month.

as he Was Last Month.
Representative Settle, whose move
ments in North Carolina during his alb
sence have been source of deep and
longing interest to a good many Of
his colleagues in the House, returned
yesterday in a remarkably happy mood.
Said Mr.. Settle to a Post reporter:
II see by the dispatches that the
Mckinley managers carried every
thing their way, and that the Reed
forces were routed The fact is, that
the night before the State committee
met, the Mckinley, Pritchard and Rus
sell forces held a caucus and drew up
series of resolutions indorsing Mr..
Mckinley for the Presidency. Mr.
pritchard for reelection to the Senate,
and MIR. Russell for Governor They
also drew up a resolution i'm favor of
fusion between the Populists and the
Republicans on the electoral ticket;
also a resolution constituting the State
Central committee the committee ON
credentials to prepare a temporary roll
of delegates. These resolutions were
all introduced at the meeting of the
committee on the next morning, and
after protracted discussion every one
was knocked out.
THE convention will be organized
in accordance with the plan of organi-
zation. This plan clothes the chairman
Of the State Executive Committee with
power to call the convention to order,
appoint a committee on credentials,
and hold the gayel until a permanent
organization is effected. Whatever
may appear in print to the contrary, it
is certain that Chairman Holton will
act in accordance with this plan of or
ganization.
'The statement that the Fifth dis
trict had elected Mckinley delegates is
without the slightest foundation. As
a matter of fact the District Committee
has not yet met; neither has the Dis
trict convention been called. The
statement that my home county had
gone for Mckinley is equally untrue.
No convention has been called in this
county as yet"

]. L. Washburn. who has recently re-
turned from an eastern trip. says the
Duluth Herald. during which he visited
Washington, expresses himself as being
profoundly impressed with the promi-
nent position Congressman Towne has
already taken in the councils OF the ma
ton.
Mr.. Towne is one of the leading fig
ures of the house," said Mr. Washburn,
land lido not believe there is a man in
congress today who, at the same period
in his career as legislator, has achieved
the eminence attained by our young
member. His word weighs in the delib-
Grafton Of the popular house, and he is
coming to be recognized as leader in
his committees. IEr. Hooker, the CHAIR
man OF the rivers and harbors commit
tee, told me that he considered Mr..
Towne one of TIE most valuable mem
bers of that committee. The impression
created by Mr. TONNES speech on silver
has not been lessened with time, and he
receives an average of sixty letters
day asking him for copies of the address.
Notwithstanding the applause, amount
ing to an ovation. that he has received,
he continues to apply himself strictly to
business and works hard, apparently
unaffected by his success.
Mr.. Washburn SAYS that Mr.. Towne
is talked of everywhere in the east, and
that even his political opponents are un-
stinted in their expressions of the high
opinion IN which they hold him.. Mrs.
Towne is making an envia5le position
for herself in the social circles OF the
capital and is already great favorite.
Mr.. Washburn says thereis plenty OF
money in the east and that there is no
evidences OF hard times there, but the
people will not allow their money to
come west to any great extent.

The Century For April.

"The Century" plays two ofits best
cards in the April number, namely, Cole
and Castaigne, the frontispiece being
beautiful engraving By Cole after
George De Forest Brush painting en-
titled Smother and Child" and Mr.. Cas-
taigne furnishing the illustrations Tor
timely article by Prof. Allan Marquand
Of Princeton on 1.-THE Old Olympic
Games" apropos of the revival OF the
OLYMPIC festival at Athens. Prof. Mar
quand's article is an entertaining popu-
lar account of the games, and will be OF
special interest at the present time.
Prot Sloan's Napoleon is particularly
rich in illustrations. A notable article
by Victor Louis Mason, an artache OF
the War Department, is entitled Pour
Lincoln Conspiracies, and makes record
of the three attempts to murder and one
to kidnap, and includes new particulars
ofsthe flight and capture OF the assassin.
The illustrations are chiefly from archives
OF the War Department for the most
part unpublished, and comprise photo
graphs of the conspirators in irons, doc
uments in Booths handwriting, scenes
along the route of his escape, etc. An
amusing article on a subject of ,urreat
interest is D. P. B. Conkling's article on
Japanese War Posters" with tour IL
Illustrations. The series of stories and
sketches by the painter Vibert comes to
a conclusion with three diverting exam
Piles. including one-act comedy. There
is liberal instalment of "Sir George
Tressady," Mrs. Humphry Wards novel,
which carries the story into very inter
esting fields, including an English house
party. with delightful glimpses of coun-
try life.

dispensablc to the general reader who
wishes to keep abreast OF TIE rapidly
developing international questions ofthe

and able editorial discussion of the COM
plicated African situation. which is de-
scribed as "the drama Of Europe IN
Africa" The mixed interests and mo-
tives of England, Russia, ITALY md
France in the Dark Continent are clear
ly set forth. Russia's general attitude
toward the European powers is also
discussed, and the editor comments
briefly on Americas relations with Spain,
our interest in the Cuban revolution,
and the present status of the Venezuelan
boundry dispute. In addition to this
editorial treatment Tin the department
entitled The Progress of the Worlu')
the Review presents a remarkably COM
plete survey of the Cuban Situation by
Murat Halstead, a summary Of the best
current thought in England on the sub
ject OF international arbitration, and a
vivid account OF the relief work now
going on iii Armenia. In short, the
