ASKED TO MAKE A RAISE.
"Let Well Enough Alone,'' is Advice
to Fit the Case.

.sLet Well Enough Alone is Advice
to Fit the Case.
THE SENTINEL learns that there is
some dissatisfaction among some of
the colored operatives in the tobacco
factories over wages and that the
manufacturers have been asked to
make raise" of about one-third on
last years prices. This the to-
bacco men they say canuot afford
to do. One manufacturer has put In
several machines for rolling tabacco
aud others are talking about doing
the same thing This would throw
several hundred people out of employ
ment.
One of Winston's largest map1fac-
turers remarked last night that the
nae nufacturers of the West were
driven to put in machines, thereby
throwing thousands out of work be-
cause the employees were not willing
to set we'll enough Alone"
1t Is true that wages are lower than
they were several years ago, but it is
also well-known that the profits on

IT is hard for fellow to break
himself of bad habit. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Raleigh
Tribune gives out the information
that Marsh Mott was in Washington
offering to gamble upon the Judge
ship result. 1t is not known whether
the Colonel had seen Hanna or not,
but the correspondent said he had
seen the President just before offering
to bet. The Colonel wanted to put
up his cash on the appointment of
Purnell. We shall see how near his
judgement was to the mark. While
we have the Colonel in mind, it may
not be improper to raise the query:
Why does Marsh continue to hang
around Washington and neglect the
duties of the position to which he
was elected by the people? 1t is
understood that he has Withdrawn
from the race for District Attorney.
Has he been transferred to the ex-
pectant "something equally as good"
class?

Christ will again descend to earth in
majesty and power as the Ruler over
all and when the bodies of the just
will he clothed with Immortality.
st. Paul says: "If Christ be not
raised your faith is vain," and joy
fully adds, as sweeping away doubt,
"but now is Christ risen from the
dead and become the first fruits of
them that slept. For, as IN
Adam all die, SO in Christ shall all be
made alive" Christ himself declared,

and again. because live, We shalt
live also"
The resurrection, then, is of deepest
concern to humanity, for upon it
securely rests the redemption scheme
1t is the capitalization of the hope OF
future life-the corner stone of the
heart-temple in honor of the King
the Jewel around which clusters all
the Christian virtues.
While the great fact of a risen Lord
should meyer be lost sight of it is
eminently proper that it's Importance
should be emphasized with each re-
curing Easter day, as the Joyful and
delightful services of the occasion
tend to awaken deeper and more
holy appreciation of Divine Iowa
love as broad as the universe and as
high as the heavens and that reaches
a saving hand to the very gates of
perdition-a love that sheds rays OF
hopes in sorrows falling tears-a
love that whispers "Come unto me.
all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and l will give you rest, "a love
that gave a Saviour to the world
and that safely guides through the
shadows OF life and the dark waters
of death to the shining shores OF
eternal joy.
Then let us celebrate the glad
Easter time with joy and with
thanksgiving.

ASTOUNDING GROWTH.

A comparison of the expenditures
of the forty third Congress and those
of the fifty-fourth Congress show an
astounding growth in this particular.
Twenty years ago the Congressional
appropriations amounted to $685.
794, 991, while those of the last
Congress reached the enormous sum
of 81 ,O43 49, 1S. making the high
water mark for a fifth of a century
and getting back to wartime ex-
penditures in times of peace and
thirtY-two years removed from the
war.
To enable the politicians to keep
up this lick of extravaganza in the
admi. istration of the government,
the Republican policy is to pile more
burdens, in the way of increased
taxes, upon the Bonded backs of an
already over burdened people.
Commenting upon the enormous
growth of expenditures, the Balti-
more Sun says: SIT thus appears
that in time of peace we have added
to our national expenditures by the
vast sum of 100000, 900 year.
There has been no growth of popula-
tion or of wealth, or of legitimate
national burdens, at all correspond
ing to this immense imitation of ex-
DenditureS Unless the pace ia
checked the sixty fourth Congress of
the United States, A. D. 1916, will
appropriate about $1,5OO,OO0.0OO
for current expenditures, and every
dollar of it will have to be raised by
taxation. Mr.. Dingley's successor
at that time will need to be a wise
man, indeed, to frame a tariff bill
that will keep out foreign imports
and yet enable the Government to
maintain that expensive gait"

EASTER.

"Fear not We: for / know that ye
seek Jesus, which was crucifed. He
is not here: for BE is risen, as He
said"
In these words of the angel at the
sepulchre we have the first oral evil
dence of the great fact of the resur-
rection of Christ-of His complete
victory over death and the grave
the great fact which the Christian
world will specially celebrate on to-
morrow, Easter Sunday
That this is a joyful festival is not
to be wondered at when the tran
scendent Importance of the event it
celebrates Is considered. Without
the resurrection the plan of salvation
would be imperfect and shadows Of
doubt would linger about the Chris
tian's hope. In the budding flowers
there would be no clear type of the
coming resurrection morn, when

A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.

When Spencer B. Adams was elect
ed a Superior Court Judge it was
said he didn't know much about law.
We do not know just how near the
mark was this sizing up of his quali-
fication for the position, but we are
decidedly of the opinion that there is
harmonious commingling of justice
and mercy, and common sense and
law, in Judge Adams decision
against the monstrous proposition
of the late pie-brigade legislators to
GUST the Superintendent of the In
sane Asylums of the State long be-
fore the expiration of the terms for
which they were chosen and for no
other cause than to feed hungry
spoilsmen.
The test case was entitled, "The
State of North Carolina on relation
of Rufus Ham and others against j..
F. Switzerland and Others" being a
suit to turn out the Directors of the
Colored Insane Asylum, at Colds
boro, and to turn in the recent ap
pointees. The Judgment is asfoliows:
"This cause coming on to be heard
upon an agreed statement of the
facts and the complaint against the
right of the REALTORS or any of them
to record, and 50 holding, it is con-
sidered and adjudged that this action
be dismissed and that defendants 90
without day and recover their costs. !"
This Judgment affords cause for
rejoicing among those who sympa-
thize with the unfortunate inmates
of the Asylums, as well as among
those who have a proper regard for
what is just and right.
Of course, the hungry horde will
die hard and will not relinquish their
scramble for the flesh pots until the
State Judiciary has been exhaus
ted," and, therefore, the case has
gone on appeal to the Supreme
Court. There is ground for hope,
however, that that tribunal will
render a decision In keeping with
that of Judge Adams and that the
retroactive clause of the new charters
of the Asylums will be a dead letter,
and thai, consequently, the present
Superintendent viii retain their
positions. May this hope be sus-
tanned by the higher courts ruling.

THE sUPRBME QUESTION.

j ne appointment OF eX v ice freSl-
dent Stevenson as a member of the
bimetallic commission was a pleasing
surprise to the my riad of friends OF
this tried and true Democrat and
level headed statesman.
Mr.. Stevenson stood .quar, ly upon
the Chicago platform in the last
campaign and that his views upon
bimetallism have not weakened since
the election is very clearly set forth
in his expressions in reference to the
commission since he was made
member thereof.
After stating that he appreciated
the compliment paid him by the
President and that he would cheer
fully render what assistance he could
to accomplish the object of the COM
mission, Mr.. Stevenson emphasized
the great Importance of bimetallism
in the following very strong Ian
guage:
81 am bimetallist. / regard the
restoration of silver money to it's
proper function as the supreme ques
ton in our own country and
throughout the world. The import
alice of the question cannot be over
stated. In this country the increase
of the volumne of business is beyond
computation. In the light of these
facts, the rehabilitation of silver is a
prime necessity. Should it's demone-
tization become the settled policy.
the evil days upon which we have
fallen but dimly foreshadow the con
sequences yet to come"
The above will do to read several
times and to give serious meditation.
Note that Mr.. Stevenson says "the
restoration of silver money to it's
proper function is the supreme ques-
tion." Mark the contrast between
this opinion and that of the leadin Z
Republicans, who say that high
tariff is the supreme question-high
tariff, which means higher taxes
upon the masses, the impoverish-
ment of the many for the benefit of
the few. Mr.. Stevenson hints at the
fact that we haye notenough money,
under the contracted gold standard,
to transact the business of the
country and concludes, very proper
ly, that the rehabilitation of silver is
a prime necessity. Then note, if you
please, Mr.. Stevenson's prediction:
"Should it's demonstration become
the settled policy, THE EVIL DAYS
UPON WHICH WE HAVE FALLEN BUT
DIMLY FoREsHADow THE CoNsE
QUENCEs YET To COME"
Touching other phases of the SUBJ
ject. the ex-President says:
Whatever their views may be as
to the ability of our government to
maintain the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver without the co-opera-
ton of the leading countries of
Europe, it may be safely assumed
that every friend OF silver in our
country will welcome international
himetallism"
'As TO the impossibility of the sue
cess of this commission, it is known
that the trend OF public sentiment in
European countri-s. as well as in our
own, is undoubtedly favorable to
bimetallism. Many of the publicists
of England and Germany are in
earnest accord with our government
upon this question. Should public
sentiment in those countrieS justify
it, an International conference would
undoubtedly be called, and such
acJion taken as would be deemed
proper"
