THAT WAR .RUMOR.

Much surprise and interest were
produced:Monday by 1.-The telegram
to The SENTINEL setting forth that
Germany has taken the first step
toward war with the United States.
This news was based upon a dis
patch to the Philadelphia Record
from Boston, which POUNDS the state.
ment upon private cipher cable dis
patches received by q prominent
German-American merchant and
agent for a number of German capt.
talists. 1t is said that this merchant
was instructed to close out at once
all of the heavy holdings of the
prominent German capitalists who
have invested in American enter
prises.
The dispatch goes on to say:
"The supremacy of the Pacific is
the first object of this bold scheme of
the rash German Emperor. With
the largest feet which Germany has
ever sent into those waters, William
essays to seize Hawaii and Samoa
! as the first steps in his bold plan for
his new dominion.
But it is not the acquisition of
these two islands themselves that
primarily moves William in this
project. With feet far superior to
that of the United States in those
waters, and a flagship which out
classes any American ship in the
Pacific, the young Kaiser imagines
that he holds the fate of America in
the palm of his hand and that the
great commercial interests of this
country will be at his mercy"
According to this startling cable
gram, Germany confidently expects
she can get help in her effort to
thrash Uncle Sam and she believes
that Spain would eagerly join in an
alliance against this country. The
report says further, If a coalition is
made with Spain, it is understood
that the Kaiser conte nplates COM
bined operations between Spain and
Germany in the Atlantic with head
quarters at Cuba, threatening the
large cities and seaports on the
American coast from New Orleans to
Boston.
Further and definite news from
these rumors are awaited with very
great interest. 1t may be said. in
passing, that if this cablegram
proves to be authentic and the
Kaiser persists in a purpose to
carry out the policy outlined therein
the young man is destined to have
some of his brag warships blown to
kingdom come while monkeying
around in American waters.

BRYAN is receiving a most hearty
reception in Mexico The dispatches
tell US that one Mexican journal re-
ferred to him as "the heroic and
popular young tribune of the Ameri-
can people," During a speech In the
Chamber of Deputies. Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred to the fact that Mexico, as wei
as the United States, Is interested in
the defense of the Monroe doctrine,
adding that "the United States and
Mexico will hold up the torches of
freedom before the nations of the
world and prove that the govern.
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed and not
from the rights of hereditary power"
This sentiment excited much favor
able comment. Truly, is Bryan the
exponent of American liberty and
government by the people.

What Good I?

Davidson Dispatch.
Mat Ransom is out of Office now,
and so far as we know is out for all
time, but in the absence of any thing
worth a fig some of the fusion, high
tax, high salary, extravaganza and
office seeking bosses, keep saving
that they are after Ransom. What
good does it do the people if these
fellows are after Ransom? They
were after Ransom's Office and they
got it, and now the only thing they
want is to keep that office.

AT the bankers Convention, the
other day, at Atlanta, in response to
an invitation, Col. j. s. Carr made a
speech which rang with true Demo-
cratic sentiment, although it was,
probably, out OF whack with the
predominating purpose of the Con-
vention. Nevertheless, he gave his
auditors something to take home
with them and "chaw" on. He
declared he was a free silver Demo
crat and in favor of State banks, and
proceeding, said: 'The gold stand
ard may be all right for the people
up North, where they have plenty of
money, but we want something else.
1 got my ideas of political economy
and finance by hard knocks. I tel

doing it, too. I am for the dollar of

A gentleman who has been a Pop

and declared that he would never
vote that ticket again. He is dis
gusted with Sena tor Butler and the
crowd who are now running the
State government. There are plenty
of good men all over North Carolina
who have lett the Populist party for
the same reason that this man did.
They have been deceived by their
leaders who were out for the spoils.
A hearty welcome awaits them in the

Luxurious Room.

A hint for house decoration is to be
secured from every other home which
one enters. They will always serve
either as model or warning. In the
luxurious rooms where dwelt the late
Sir Frederick Leighton were many ideas
to be culled here and there even by
those who did not admire, as a whole,
the ornate pose of the sometimes affect
eddy placed furnishings and decorations.
In one room was Turkish window, a
deep bay. The glass rose only over the
upper half of the end and not of the
sides. Below that very gorgeous work
ran platform about three feet high.
This was backed on all three sides by a
continuous cushion, against which other
pillows were loosely piled. One-quarter
of the platform, at one end. terminated
in three steps leading down into the
room. Over the remainder a magnificent
eastern rug was smoothly spread like a
small carpet. Its fine design was thus
perfectly revealed in its harmony with
both the cushions and the window. In
color everything led up to the glass.
That gave the effect of gem set in tints,
cunningly calculated to throw out its
beauty and splendid hues.-Exchange.
