New York, April 24.-Bradstreet's
says: The change in conditions under
lying general trade, while slight this
week, has been in the direction Of inn
provement. The depression in iron and
steel continues and Bessemer mig and
steel billets have reacted another Is
cents a ton. The outlook favors an in.
crease in labor disturbances to resist
midsummer wage reductions. The BIZ
luminous coal mining industry Is worse
on than the anthracite, with rumors of
strikes which promise to have an unfa-
vorable influence on other than the iron
and steel industries. Trade in wool is
quieter. There is less life in the whole
sale dry goods trade and little relief has
been experienced, Notwithstanding the
large auction sale of cotton goods last
week; buyers continue to supply imme-
diate needs only.
The tendency toward more settled
weather has stimulated retail demand.
more particularly at the northwest, not
ably for dry goods, hardware and mil
hnery. The general tendency of the
Mississippi flood to subside has created a
better feeling, but not even the recent
agricultural department census records
all the damage done. Country road
ways have begun to improve, which
benefits interior merchants.

There Is rumor that the sultan will

Laws of 1897, in reference 10 residents

about the fact that the expression now

ITO A Friend. |

I"For some day when all is found out
that can be found out Oh earth. and
made the common property of all TOR
even before that, the great man will
perhaps arise and make the great guess
that is to set us all free here and here
after. Who knows? | feel this splendid
guesser will be some inspired musician OF
the future. He will want new
notes and will find them-new notes be-
tween the black and white keys" l-Pe-
ter Ibbetson.
Sometime, when tongues are stilled and
language all is dead,
When for the final freeing word that
slumbers yet unsaid,
Souls, imprisoned, dumb, brood YEARLY,
clustered in the human heart so drea-
rily,
They may, forsooth, in some great note
of master sometimes hear
A sort Of syllable of the message drift
ing near,
Like stray soft notes of mellowed mis-
sion bell
In sunny Sabbath valleys, where yet
hallowed vespers dwell,
That message wombed in awful joy, as
yet unspoken,
Sleeping yet on tongue OF Time to Come
in sleep unbroken.
Shall it be as spark struck from a
newborn star
Flowering in the field Of night from
unfathomed ages far
WOndrous, coming now a messenger of
light
Wondrous, bursting now from pregnant
brow of night.
Then tn imprisoned soul may feel the
glow and CLEAN
That sometimes in the eyes of those who
dream
Great dreams men see,-and seeing, un-
derstand,-
Dreams like summer coming to win
tered land.
Dreams that enkindled flood the eye with
flame
'Twixt tenderness and joy-dreams that
came
Passionately to thrill and warm the
world.
Dreams like banners of illumined Love
unfurled.
Then in that clustered chamber Of the
heart
A blush along the blanched and yearning
soul will start
AS if the soul had its dawn-music
caught.
or the last all-freeing words it had long
and vainly sought
But faint for the All Beautiful it again
shall swoon
Athirst for mornings music in Hopes
dim afternoon.
Yet it shall wait-thc soul-through
aeOns it shall wait.
And twilight come and darkness plume
the wings of fate;
And night shall come, anguish the soul
as if to die
Then behold! a note before unvoiced shall
come from Throne of Time on high
Then shall the wreath of dawn have
crowned the brow of night
A music mayhap it will be 'twixt the
black key and the white.

NEWr.FACTS EVERY DAY
SHOWS THAT THE STATE IS IN THE HANDS
OF PLUNDERERS.
The State Has an Acknowledgement Who is
Nothing More Than Bump on
a Log.
Newton Enterprise.)

New facts are brought to light almost
every day that prove conclusively that
cur State is in the hands of plunderers
and pilla gers. Appropriations were made
during the session of the last Legisla-
ture that can not be met. The State is
being plunged in debt ut the rate OF
$4,000 every month by the pcnitcn-
tiary management Every fortnight or
two the State pays out several hundred
and sometimes thousands of dollars for
expert legal advice in some unavoidable
litigation, brought about by unprece-
dented laws, enacted by bought. or ~
norant law makers. 1t is sand that IN
the railroad injunction case, which Is
fresh in the minds of our people, that
the State employed three lawyers at Il
fee of $4,000 each and one at Il fee
of $4,000 to appear in this case. These
lawyers done the work that should have
been done by the Attorney General. 1T
is but fair here to say that our so-called
Attorney General is nothing but n bump
on log.-that he is totally incompetent,
and unfit to be classed higher than a
fifth rate cross road lawyer. and that his
opinions are received 10y lawyers as ludi-
crous jokes. 1t is true that he is not
competent to represent the great State
of North Carolina in any matter where
legal knowledge is considered, and unless
the State does pay some lawyer with
ability to represent her interests they
90 unrepresented. What pitiahl"
plight we are in. Paying this bump
on log the salary of IN Attorney Gen
eral and receiving for it the services of
Il fifth rate cross road lawyer. These
same people have created new offices for
favoritc henchmen, and raised the sala-
ry of almost every employee in the diff
fercnt institutions of the State. Nothing
OF great interest is agitated but what
there is job at the back of it, We
have heard the days of '6S and % quot
ed on many occasions and referred to as
something terrible, but if they were
worse than they are to-day it is no
wonder that Ieb Vance and his co-adju-
tors arose above the situation and
bound the monster for a season. But
this same monster is at liberty again
to-day and must be bound.
