NORTH CAROLINA
No State Can Boast of More of Real
MI rit.

Raleigh Post.
The Sanford Express observes:
at now seems to be the policy of the
State press land it is good one,
too.) to stimulate State pride by
heralding the virtues of the people
and recounting their splendid deeds
in history. The praise of all that is
genuinely good in our deer old State
is a duty that every North Carolinian
owes TO his children. No great peo-
pie ever lived who neglected their
homes and despised their ancestors, :"
Better late than never. We have
noted the same change with pleasure.
No State can boast of more of real
merit than old North Carolina, and
yet owing to the modesty of the
people, coupled largely with the in
difference of those whose special
opport unity and duty it is to proper.
~ chronicle meritorious deeds or
OH 'cts, our own people are almost
as ignorant of them as the outside
world.
Let us all wake up to our duty to
the old State. God bless her, nc
place on earth is more worthy the
earnest and faithful service of itf
people.

GLORIOUS NEWS.

The news of the capture OF Santiago
and the entire Spanish garrison, to-
gether with the surrender OF large
portion of Eastern Cuba-aH without
further loss of life-brings joy to
Americans and revives the hope that
the time of peace is not far distant.
If Spain does not Immediately take
steps towards the cessation of hostil-
tiles, 1T appears probable that the
next movement by our authorities
will be demonstration at Porto
Rico with a demand for surrender,
which, If not complied with, will be
followed by siege or onslaught of
San Juan. Spain's case is entirely
hopeless and she now has the oppor-
tunity to seize as a pretext of zap
peased honor" the incident whereby
her soldiers at Santiago are permit
ted to return to their native country,
and take the initiative towards Sc
curing peace.

IT is said that Spain wants peace
If it may be had by simply giving up
Cuba. She could aveprevented war
entirely by relinquishing Cuba, but
she will have to pay considerably
more than that to stop the war, in
addition to the great loss she has
sustained by the destruction OF two
of her fleets, with the consequent
large number of fatalities among her
seamen. 1t appears now that Spain
will not get out of her trouble at a
less cost than the absolute abandon
ment of both Cuba and Porto Rico
and loaning the Philippines to Uncle
Sam as security for a large indemni-
ty. She will get q terrible licking
besides. Verify, it requires great
deal to appease Spanish ''honor."

The Difference.

New ork Mall and EXPRESS.
Our warship at Havana was de-
stroyed at night while her men we're
asleep and unable to make a fight for
their lives, while SPANS vessels at
Mauiia and Santiago were smashed
IN broad daylight while their crews
we're on deck and ready for business.
The events merely illustrate the
difference between the American way
aud the Spanish way of doing things.

1T is rather curious that, fire. quent
ly, laws fail to express their full
meaning. 1t seems there is sufficient
ambiguity in the stamp tax law for
the telegraph companies to find a
pretext for requiring their patrons to
pay the tax on messages when it is
quite evident that the intent of the
law is that this tax should be borne
by the companies. 1t would have
been an easy matter to have ex-
pressed the purpose of the law in
language that could not have been
misunderstood and this should have
been done In this case, and should be
done in the framing OF all laws, even
If it should require repetitions and
disturb the even flow of rhetoric.
However, as we understand, the in
tent OF a law, rather than it's letter,
is the true test, and upon this basis
we expect the people to triumph in
this latest contest with aggregated
wealth-an aggregation that would
reap all the benefits to be derived
by war and dodge all it's burdens.

HENLEY's EXPLANATION.
This Is Not a Good Year for the
 Democrats.

Barclay Henley, who was defeated by D. J. Murphy for the District Attorney ship. took the outcome of the election in so far as it related to himself in a philo- sophical manner. He attributed his de- feat to several causes.
 First and most important of all," said he, this was not Democratic year. This coupled with other causes led to the de- feat of Judge Mcguire, and this in time injuriously affected the municipal ticket.
 Second, it was well known that Buck lev and Rainey, representing the push and the pull the vicious element of the city, were throughout the campaign mak- ing my defeat speciality.
 iaThe foregoing reasons are sufficient in themselves alone to account for my. de- feat. The railroad and other corporations, hy indirection and otherwlSe. gave their employees to understand that if what seemed to be the Democratic programme was carried out the result would be a re- duction of wages. All of these things and everything could not defeat man of such marked popularity as James D. Phelan.

Alice Wolf, the widow of the late pr. Wolf, while Respondent last night over her losses at the racetrack. swallowed a dose of carboIic acid. pr. Robert Mur- phy. who was, summoned to attend her, believes that she will recover.
 Mrs. Wolf lives at Capp and Twenty first streets. Shortly after o'clock last evening she bade her aged mother good by, after telling her that she fas going to visit her friend. Mrs. Allen, who lives In a lodging house at 612 Eddy street She had just returned from the racetrack and appeared Respondent over her losses. Before seeing her friend the unfortunate woman went to drugstore on Grant avenue and purchased a bottle of car bolic acid. She then repaired to the lodg- ing house on Eddy street, and going to Mrs. Aliens room, complained that she was feeling Ill. Mrs. Allen advised her to seek rest and offered her the use of her bed.
 Mrs. Wolf took advantage of her friends offer, and after discarding her street attire threw herself on the bed.
 I'm diSgusted with this life" she lugu- briously remarked. ''I wish I was dead" :"
 Mrs. Allen tried to cheer her up and was about to leave the room when Mrs. Wolf placed the bottle of carbolic acid to her lips and drank the contents. With a wild scream for help Mrs. Allen ran from the house, intending to summon a physician. Meeting Police Officer Pyle she told him what had happened, and he lost no time in repairing to the scene.

It was not until the police man threatened to force an entrance that the stranger allowed him to enter.
 Even Mrs. Allen at first refused to throw any light on the identity of the Respondent woman.
 After considerable questioning, she final ly admitted that her name was Mrs. Wolf and that despondency had impelled her to make an attempt on her life.
 Another woman, who seemed distracted over the attempted suicide of Mrs. Wolf stood guard over the door of the room and refused to answer any questions.
 'If poor Alice dies. she declared. "her story will be buried with her"
 Further than that she positively de- clined to give any information that would show why Mrs. Wolf had attempted sui eide.
