The State will be Redeemed,

The editorial from The Wilmington
Messenger, on the second page of to-
days paper, "Watchman, What Of the
Night" has the true ring. The extract
quoted from a private letter from Col
onel Julian S. Carr gives a true idea
Of the sentiment entertained by the
patriotic people of North Carolina.
They are not needless Of the disgrace
full conditions that obtain in the public
life of the old commonwealth. The
manly words of Colonel Carr, and the
appeal Of DR.. Kingsbury to patriotic
men to rescue the state from unworthy
hands will not fall on deaf ears.
The people of North Carolina are
patient and long suffering. It has been
said Of them that they are as slow
as the wrath of God. If so, they are
as sure. They will sink minor differ
ences in 1898 and forever r%epudiate the
gang that d~isgraced the commonwealth
in legislation and still disgrace it by
making the charitable institutions the
pie of political pill rollers and other po-
litical henchmen.

ocrats: Be not %faithless, but grid up
your loins for the redemption Of the
state.-Raleigh News and Observer of

Record says that by order Of the Gu

rada broke down and those aboard are

We have been interested in a recent
statement sent out from Fan RIVER
(Mass.) relative to the actual situa-
ton at that great cotton milling CEN
tire. 1t reveals a condition not entirely
one Of satisfaction. Nothing like II ex-
lists in any state in the south. Tne
northern mills tried to prevent over
production by shorter hours or WORK.
They tried to keep down stock by Work
ing only four days in six. But the COM
plaint is that the increased production
in the south was more tina enough
to make up for the reduction in the
north. The article referred to states
this:
For this sacrifice, it is said, no cor
responding benefit has accrued, but
southern competitors a V run on full
time, and filled up the vacuum Wnlch
northern manufacturers have been try
ing to create. Fall River owners state
hat it can only be proved beyond ques-
ton that southern mills producing the
same fabrics as those made in this
city are realizing satisfactory prontS
at present market prices. Their taxes
are IOllillldi, luSl, III AAoh
than it's cost here, the hours OF work
range from siXty-siX to Seventy-tWo
hours weekly, and labor will average
40 per cent. less in price"
Who can doubt longer in the face or
such a confession that the south holds
the whip hand, and has a decided ad-
vantage over the north in cotton man.

1t is rather surprising that the press
has so little to say as to the great ex-
travagance and waste of the public
moneys. The cry is daily more reve-
nue., and the dominant party is plan
ming to greatly increase the burden of
sary to raise money sufficient for pub
lie expenditures. No one speaks for re-
trenchment, for rigid economy, for re-
ducing taxation. 1t is all the other
silent n Indifferent. The republican
organs do not say a word about cutting
down expenses. They blow loud and
long for higher taxes to raise more rev.
enue. The opposition newspapers do
not give sufficient attention to the ex-
traordinary abuses in expenditures
more than $50, 600, 900 a year. The New
York Evening Post lately said:
Regarding this reckless dissipation
of public funds, with the treasury con-
tinually embarrassed, Mr.. Cannon
speaks with proper ~frankness. He ad-
mits that the appropriations are in ex-
cess Of the legitimate demands of the
public service. We believe, in
short, that only organized party pres
sure, applied by the strongest leaders
Of congress-, will check this foolish
waste. The congressman who wishes
to bleed the treasury must be informed
that there are larger interests to be
considered than his village court
houses, pension agents, and contractor

for war whether or no against his judy
ment and real inclination.
We do not understand that the
Greeks desire to have war with Tur-
key for the sake Of resentment or an
eagerness to test it's powers. But its
purpose and controlling motive are
quite otherwise. The desire Of Greece
is to annex Crete. and it is a reasona-
BILE. natural desire, for the Cretans are
Greeks. An Informed writer in The
New York Evening Post says:
THE Cretans are Greeks severed from
their brethren. They may differ from
them to a certain extent in mixture of
foreign blood and in characteristics,
but how much alike in these respects
are the Piedmontese and Neapolitans?
Crete, which had tried to free herself
with the rest Of Greece. vas landed
back to the Turks. owing to the short
sightedness of the British ministry.
which deplored Navarino as an unto
ward event. Since hen the island has
repeatedly risen In Instruction. The
Greeks naturally look on it as a part
of their country still held in slavery;
thus they feel that they have every
moral right, not to say obligation, to
strive for it whenever they have a
chance"
This, we take it, to be a correct
statement, and it places the matter
briefly and clearly before the reader.
The Cretans would nc doubt be glad
to be now reunited to Greece, for it has
had far more than enough Of Turkish
misrule and oppression. Why the
powers are acting as they are is an
other question. 1t is not honorable to
them that they should take any step
favorable to the ~unspeakable Turk"
The truth is the conduct Of the great
European nations both as to the Ar
menians and the Greeks has been with
out proper justification. If the out
come of the trouble as to Greece should
be the control of Crete by Turkey it
will be a stain and reproach to the
powers that bring this about. 1t is the
intense jealousy Of each other COM
bined with lust OF power and greed Of
acquisition that prevent now and have
prevented the powers acting the part
Of high and noble and beneficent states
manship. The writer quoted from
says pointedly that "if Europe, which
has not been able to combine against
the Turks, does succeed in combining
for them, we can only regret that there
is not a ruling statesman who has
dared to stand up for the right, come
what may. The powers are acting for
what tLap hol;a1r, 20 1o +hoir or,D 4,

those of e%xpediency why Greece should

that they are so afraid Of their read

they dread every disturbance"

SHARPS AND A

The is reported a strong sympathy
prevailing now among the English dis
senters of all shades and names. Once
they warred upon each other with fiery
zeal, but now they are getting closer
together, and all names are harmonic
Observation-Disclosures, Methodists.
Baptists, Presbyterians, Quakers and
perhaps others. The particular cause
is not agreement in doctrnal views, but
is a common dislike to church and
state. They are taxed to support the
state church as we'll as their own de-
n~ominational interests. There has been
for a long time an intense and grow
ing hostility in this matter, and it will
come to a head soon or late as the COM
bined sentiment to much as
the whole body of dissenters constitute
a powerful organization, numerically
and Intellectually. They feel deeply the
treatment they receive from the Es-
tablishment and are ready to resent
and throw off what they consider as
expressions. The Contemporary Re-
view publishes a paper, in which it is
said hat cit seems to us as monstrous
that the state should domineer over the
church as hat the church should domi-
neer over the state. It would be thought
monstrous if We proposed that the
president Of the Methodist conference
should nominate the members of her
majesty's government. But surely it
is equally and more monstrous tina the
members Of her majesty's government
should nominate the president of the
Methodist conference. The church has
the same right as the state to be self
governed. Both are of God, both have
their own spheres. and the only Chris
tan doctrine of their relation is ex-
planned in the famous formula of Ca
YOUR: "A free church in a free state.'"

So the Tsar is content. He enjoys his
little brief authority so much he is
not hankering after judicial robes and
honors. He will not crafty his enc
mics within his own party, SO much as
by doffing imperial robes to don judic-
ial. We think Russell unwise, from the
standing-point of money. To have a
life office worth $4,000 a year brings
more pie than a four years tenure at
$4,000. If he holds out against the al
lurements and lust Of gain he is more
self-sacrificing than many would have
believed him capable Of. If we thought
that little Reynolds would be any i'm
provement upon the Tsar We would join
the enemies who are plotting to have
him go on the bench. But doubling the
