The "North Carolina Sorosis'' is
the name of club at Wilmington, N
G., the purpose of which is the pro-
motion of mental and moral develop
ment and rendering women helpful
to each other and to the world. The
Club publishes a 'Sorosis Corner"
once d week in the M. ssenger and
one of the features of this depart
ment is a weekly sketch of some Club
in the State, with view towards
more intimate relationship among
these societies and ultimately to
forming a State Federation OF
Women's Clubs, having for its object
some benevolent or other work of
interest, such as founding public
libraries, asylums, training schools,
etc. The State Federation idea ap
pears to be a good one. 1t might be
developed into an agency for the
accomplishment of much good. We
notice that the current issue of the
"Sorosis Corner" contains sketches
of "The Four O'clocks" and "The
Monday Afternoon Book Club" of
this city.

Now a Federal Court slaps the
bucket shops in the face. At Savan-
nah, Ga recently, Judge Speer pre-
siding, litigation of long standing
was concluded and an interesting
point settled by the decision was
that dealing in cotton futures is
illegal, by reason of being game of
chance. In the case passed upon
three thousand dollars had been
advanced on cotton futures and the
suit was for the recovery of the
amount. The Judge decided that as
the transaction was Illegal it could
not be adjudicated in the courts.

STRAIGHT GOODS.

The Democratic party stands for
certain we'll defined principles in the
administration of COVER nment and
unless it is ready to surrender and
retire from the political field and
acknowledge that it is a failure, it
should prosecute courageously and
persistently the great fundamental
ideas which it has advocated in the
past and which experience proves
make for the best interests of the
great body of the people, and this it
should do without collision with any
party which holds to opposite views
In other words, let us, in both city
and State elections nominate
straight Democratic tickets and be
sure that the nominees are straight
and reliable Democrats. Trading
upon principle is both morally and
politically wrong and should be
frowned upon by good men of all
par ties. Such trading is usually
manipulated by few who expect to
gain personal profit therefrom. This
is shown quite clearly in the case of
the Populist party, which now bears
the stigma of a trader because
shrewd, foxy politicians have used
the sleek methods of the demagogue
and have ridden into fat places upon
the prejudices of the rank and file OF
the party. But of what profit has
this been to the individual members
of the party? Rather may we ex
claim, what a calamity this has been
to the individual members of the
party-those who have been actu
ated by honest, if mistaken, convic-
tions, and who desire good govern
ment For they, like all the people OF
all the parties. have suffered from the
trading in the last campaign, where
by the present disgraceful admins
tration was fastened upon the State.
The success of the Demo :ratic
party, without entangling alliances,
is the open way to the wiping out Of
present calamitous conditions and
the restoration of good and honest
government. Let the Democratic
banner, untarnished and borne by
clean and trusty hands, be found in
the thick OF the fight and let every
patriotic son of the State rally to its
support and aid in bringing about a
victory for he people over the spoils
| men.

REFERRING to the passage of the
fifty million dollar appropriation
bill, the Washington Post says: ''The
effect will be tranquilising and re-
assuring. 1t will be no longer posi-
BILE to imagine that there is the
smallest flaw in our unity of feeling
as a people. 1t is no longer open to
question that the nation stands as
one man in its patriotism and deyo-
ton. The sense of strength, of har-
mony, and of pride will bear fruit OF
calmness and patience. The knowl-
edge that we are prepared, in spirit
and in material, for any emergency
will bring with it serenity and
peace"
IT must be admitted that the fire.
quently recurring possibility OF
political trading during the last
State campaign placed severe and
annoying handicap upon the Demo-
cratic press of the State, because it
never felt quite sure that before the
election there would not be changes
in the personnel of the ticket, carrying
with it changes OF political utilization
of candidates. tits to be hoped that
no such embarrassing environments
will surround the press in the ap
preaching campaign, but that it may
be entirely free to lay bare the in
competent and disgraceful record OF
fusion administration of public
affairs, past and present.

We accord 10 the Gazette the same sin

others honestly believed that the gold

times and that there could be no Tros-
peritv until the mints OF the country
should be opened 20 the free coinage OF
silver. These were sincere in Shouting
calamity. but there were others who did
so for political effect. and they cried out
so long and so loud and so dolefully that
people on the outside who read the free
silver newspapers in Virginia must have
come to the conclusion that the whole
state was on the verge Of going into the
almshouse.
But the situation has changed. Those
who were honest are getting their eyes

come in spite Of the gold standard and
those who were shouting calamity for
