In the year of grace 1896,
Oliver H. Dockery, the social
ed war horse of the Pee Dee, ,
canvassed the State denoun
cling the policy o. the gold
standard and repudif Ing the
republican candidates for
President and Governor. He
told us that Mckinley W a $
Mark Hanna's tool. and that
Russell was nominated by
bribery and corruption. His
long leadership of the repub-
lican party gave him ample
opportunity to expose t h e
rottenness of the party and
the unwOrthiness of it's lead
ers.
Yesterday he was nOmina-
ted by a radical convention
of negroes and office seekers
who endorsed Mckinley and
Pritchard. If he accepts, the
Colonel goes back to wallow
in the slime OF radicalisrn and
gold, bugism. The convention
by endorsing Mckinley and
Pritchard gave a slap in the
face to silver and cannot ex-
pect the aid of any silver
man. No man who believes
in bimctallism can touch any
thing that is tarred with Nc
Klnleyism and Pritchardism.
If Colonel Dockery was sin
cere in his fight last year, he
will repudiate the convention
that tied him ogoldhugism.

day from London announces
the consolidation of t h e
Cramp ship building compa
ny of Philadelphia and Wick
ers Sons and Maxim of Bar
row-in- Furness, England, in
to one great ship building
concern. If this alliance is per
fected, apd there il lit t Z
doubt of it's being accomp-
lished, it will make one of the
most powerful corporations
OF it's kind on the continent.
The plan of consolidation
provides for an increase in
the capacity of the Cramps
ship yards by the ;ntroduc-
tion of British capital so as
to increase the capital stock
OF the Cramp company from
$5, 100000 to $4,000, 900,
it not more. The additional
capital is to be furnished by
the Vickercompanyin in return
for stock in the enlarged cor
poration. Holders of com
mon stock in the existing cor
poration will receive ne "
stock.
The preliminaries to t h e
deal were arranged by Will
lam NJ. Twins, of this city,
who is a passenger on t h e

1t is expected that 9 meet
ing of the directors OF t b e.

General Call to Arms.

NJ. Meyer, the French min
lister to the little Havtitn re
public. seems to see the world
at war. In a recent inter
view on the Hispano-Ameri
can war he spoke Of the ira
ditional sympathy between
America and France, but ad
ded significantly that in the
present crisis the immediate
solicitude of the country was
for Spain, her next door
neighbor, whom she had done
so much to ruin in the past,
but whom she did not wish
to see perish from the earth.
There is one very serious
fact in the situation" he is
reported as having said,
"and that is the undoubted
irritation of all European ma
tions except Great Britain,
over the American method OF
procedure in the Cuban affair.
OF the continental powers
Austria. Germany and Italy
have taken into very grave
consideration the question OF
intervention on their part be
tween America and Spain. |
think that in this direction
something of vast import.
ance IS likely to happen soon.
In case of European interven
tion Great Britain's position
would doubtless be disclosed
as in close accord with that
of America and Indicating an
ultimate alliance. Indeed,
the opinion is quite common
among diplomats that this
array OF the Anglo-SaXon
peoples against continental
Europe might mean a gener
al call to arms" ."-Bristol

Cigarette Smokers.

The medical examination
of volunteers affords q strik
ing lesson as to the injurious
effects of cigarette smoking.
The physical, and, it may be
added, the mental weakness
of many young men Is due to
h e cigare tie habit. This
statement is made. fro m
| Washington:
The large number OF rejec-
ton of volunteers has ca used
much comment in the army
lnedicalcorps. However, the
physicians who havecOnduct
ed the examinations say that
outside Of he ranks of cigar
ette smokers there are even
fewer defections than there
were in the days of the civil
war. Among habitual users
of the cigarette the reflections
are about 90 pct cent.
DR.. Benjamin King, o T
Philadelphia, who acted as
an examining surgeon dur,
ing 1S61-'63 in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and In.
diana, says that the average
reflections during those years
did not exceed 13 per cent.
He attributes the large in
crease almost entirely to the
cigarette habit.
II have been inspecting the
papers in a number of cases
under the present recruiting
act" said DR.. King, "and |
observe that most of the
men who fail to pass the
medical examination have
weak hearts or lack of vital
ity necessary to make a good
soldier.
IL had expected that the
percentage of rel ct ions
would be greater now than
il 1861, but | did not dream
that it would be almost three
times as great. TheeXamin-
ing physicians with whom |
have talked generally told
me that excess bf reflections
is due to the large number of
young men applying for en-
Iistment who have become
victims of the cigarette hab-
| it,"

An Alignment Of Nations.
Monroe Journal.

fore the outbreak Of the pres
ent war no one suspected
that the sweep OF ven t &
would he so far reaching. a nd
perhaps hurl the U. s. from
its traditional policy of isolu
tion and neutrality, into the
vortex of world-politics, and
maybe a foreign alliance. And
only n few months back no
one thought that soon t h e
changing course of events
would turn England from our
'traditional enemy" TO our
closest friend, and perhaps
our savior from q hostile
demonstration by combined
Europe. But Such now seems
to he The case, and the pass.
ing of a few weeks may see
both of these things accom-
plished. And it all springs
from what is known. as the
Eastern Question, that pres.
ent storm centre of European
politics.
We got into the matter
prosppctively by capturing
the Philippine Island, only Il
few hundred miles from Hong
Kong, the Chinese port con-
troled by England. Great
Britain's opposition to Rus
sia in China is believed to
hive weakened and the Other
powers. which are practical
ly allied against England fear
as they have reason to, that
such "A part as the U. s. would
be obliged play as the own
ef of the Philippines, would
be virtual reinforcement of
Great Britain. And in view of
the accomplishment OF closer
ties Of friendship between our
country and our mother a.
cross the sea, this would be
true. Hence, in the eyes of
Europe, the United States
should by all means be kept
out OF Asia, not only Un &C.
count OF itself, but on Eng
lands account DIS well. Thus
we can very readily believe
that Europe united in an ad-
dress to England asking her
to unite with them in deman
ding that the United States
should not carry its war a.
gainst spain beyond West In
dian waters, practically our
own shores, and further, that
England: already possessing
the enmity of Europe a n d
covetIng the friendship of Al
merica, not only refused to
enter such an agreement, but
told them that she would see
that the full rights of the U,
nited States as beligerants
were upheld.
This being true, we cannot
in common justice fail to re.
spond in a reasonable degree
to the British advances, and
our traditional enemy thus
becomes our friend. We keep
the Philippines, at least for d
time, and then have the dis.
position OF them, and are
therefore, in the eastern em.
broglio.
AS for the alliance wi t h
England, that is thegreatest
question of foreign policy
that the Americans have had
thrust upon them since the
prom1lgation of the Monroe
doctrine, sixty-fve years a.
go. 1t reverses our tradi
tional policy adhered to since
thp days Of the fathprS-con
