u reads as IL our correspondent had
gone to the old files of The Sentinel
time 1869 and O-and had torn out q
Leaf. It is q repetition Of the dark
days Of reconstruction when the plum
derers abOunded k Egyptian 1ocusts,
and there was a great deal "of good
stealing still left" as that northern
rogue and rascal wrote OF South Caro-
lima some where about 1870. The squan-
dering Of h peoples money by their
robbers and betrayers will put honest
men to thinking. II the tax payers do
not get together in 1898, and send trust
worthy, faithful, capable men to the
Legislature and to h congress then
they ought to suffer, for 1t will be
righteous retrfbution for personal neg
lect and political sins. What a shame
full revelation is made Of jobbery and
venality and nepotism.

STATE PRESS.

The late soldiers Of the union and the
confederacy who fought ach other on
principle doubtless have very sincere
respect for each other, but the gushing,
in each section, over the troops Of the
other, is forced and affected. When
it comes to reunions, e-ncampments
and the like, each had better shiny
on his own side.-Charlotte Observer.
In the blazing light Of nineteenth
century rOgreSS we do not like to
appear as a pessimist in anything.
But from a calm reflection upon pass
ing events we are persuaded that crime
is increasing in North Carolina. One
can scarcely open a ape which does
not chronicle some shocking crime.
Upon this reflection the first question
that presents itself is, Why this in
crease in crime? The second is, What
is the remedy?-Scotland Neck Demo-
GRAFT.
The Herald re-~annOunces it's oppo-
sition to fusion with another party n
it feels confident that it's position will
be Endorsed by it's democratic friends.
We need a good state government. We
mi get it by uniting with either
party. We have the example Of the
present ~disgraceful state administra-
ton to teach us that a government by
two parties is not a success. Again
we denOunce fusion with any people
who, in their mad and ungodly lust
after office, abandon the platform and
precepts of their party in order to Sc
cure power by a cooperation with an
other people of different views.-Smith-
field Herald.
The only thing the populist party has
wrought in North Carolina is the revi-
vifying of the old radical party and
giving it control of the judicial, exec
utive and legislative departments Of
government. Fusion with a corrupt
party of directly opposing principles
has given US higher taxes and shorter
school terms. 1t has given us a bank
rupt treasury which cannot pay tie
just claims due by the state. It a
given us negro ofce-holders and put
hundreds Of negroes in authority over
white men. 1t a given us corrupt
and runken legislators. 1t has given
us depleted county treasures and
made ii impossible for the holders Of
county orders to get them cashed. 1t
has given us lower tone of official life.
1t has lowered the moral standard Of
the people. 1t has put a premium upon
hypocrisy n treachery. The sin Of
the populist party is that it has been
a party to this debauching of the pub
lie morals and the elevation of bad
men. There are many populists who
are ashamed of it. There are not g.
few who are a~stounded at it, and would
gladly undo all they have done-Ra-
leigh News n Observer.

MAKE Hay WHILE THE SUN
SHINES.

The newspapers do not dwell enough
perhaps on the farming interests Of our
southland. With the very great ad-
is not lone hat can be done and by a
very great deal. The Messenger late
ly referred at some length to the fruit
crop as highly important and particu-
larly remunerative. Up north they
take advantage of climate and soil to
the utmos in producing and market
ing fruits of various kinds. But it is
to the hay crop--the grasses in fact that
grow every where-that we would d.
rect attention for a moment. The fro
zen barren state Of Maine makes owe
a MILAN tons of hay yearly. Think of
that. The average value Of the hay
crop Of the United States is given at
from $4,000 900 to $4,000, 900. The
product is about $4,000, 900 tons.
For the last eight years the crop
of hay has fetched more money
thar any other crop corn and wheat
alone excepted. North Carolina can
grow grass without effort. No state
should be caught buying one straw
Of hay. Does North Carolina still keep
up it's bad, reckless, none losing hab-
it Of keeping its hay fields in the north
as it still keeps it's wheat fields and
corn cribs and hog pens and smoke
housese and horses and mule stables
in the west? Can any people really
prosper long who habitually pursue
such a reckless, impoverishing course.
It is a disgrace to any southern state
when it consumes a barrel Of f1Our or
a bushe1 of meal or corn, or a bale Of
hay or a pound of beef or bacon, or a
pound of lard or butter, or any vege-
table whatever-all Of which can be so
we'll, so easily grown at home if it is
not made at home and not imported.
NoNrth Carolina ought to stop being
so dependent upon others and SO tribu-
tary to the enrichment of the north.
Grow hay by the millions Of tons.

If there is any thing in fattering or

Papers like The New York Times, Bos-
ton Herald, New York Herald, Toronto
Mail and Empire, and New York Mail
and Express laud it much. AS we men,
toned quite recently it is a love story

Church Of England. Mr.. Stead writing
in an English publication gives this

hero Of The Christian who is a cler-
gyman of the Church of England NAM
ed the Rev. John Storm. From the au-
tumn Of 1894 to the spring Of 1896 Mr..
l Cdlue spent time III working up the
subject and acquiring local color.
Among other places he dwelt for a
period in underground London, where
he saw many things which he thinks
would startle and touch the conscience
Of England"
MI. Richard Henry Stoddard, the poet
| critic Of the New York Mail and Elk
press, say that it els a powerful
! story" He says Gaines novels are de-
ficient in grace and tenderness and
he might well have added, in humor,
he is still possessed " Of rude, primi-
tive strength" and has real insight
into the elements of character" and
a singular knowledge of the human
heart" By the way, referring to
| Thomas Hardy Mr.. Stoddard calls him
James" Hardy. He concludes a half
column notice with this:
The Christian. is a very great
| story, and it's greatness consists of it's
stern and fearless purpose of exposing
the 'seamy side Of London civiliza-
ton, INT of the simplicity Of Mr..
Gaines narrative, which is rather sug-
| gestive Of that of Defoe than of any
living novelist. His portrait of the
pure womanliness of Glory Quayle is

One of the ablest living men of letters
in Great Britain is John Morley, bet
ter known to the general reader as a
politician, and a member of Gladstone's
last able cabinet. But in fact he is an
ADLER essayist and writer Of books than
he is politician or government official,
although he made real reputation both
as a speaker in the house Of commons
and as a cabinet minister. He is per-
haps the ablest essayist in England.
He is the ablest we are acquainted
with. He is not so sparkling, efflor-
escent and graceful as several contem-
poaries-Lang, Henley, Gosse, Dow
den and others. But he is of heavier
calibre we think. He recently deliv-

the illustrious Florentine who wrote
1.-The Prince" that is still studied by
statesmen and men of letters beyond

splendid essay on Machiavelli remains
the most brilliant, eloquent and accu-
rate portraiture Of the artful and un-
p%rincipled Italian statesman. The
critic of The New York Tribune thinks

writes:
