some kenntorinI Talk.

The kind of talk INDUCED in by some of
the senator's last Saturday, when the Gu
ban resolutions were under discussion
that they were under the impression that
they were making spread-eagle, Fourth of
July speeches, to an average Fourth OF
July crowd full of beer and patriotism.
For instance, one, senator, 10 talking about
the report that the Powers of Europe
were preparing TO interfere and prevent
the United States from wrestling Cuba
from Spain, said the United States were
fully able to stand against the world, anc
another talked about what the 1900. COO
Americans could do towards astonishing
the world with their feats of arms.
While It is true that the United States
could stand against the world if they were
fully prepared for a great war, it is not
true that they are now in a condition to
successfully resist armed interference by
the Powers of Europe. The European
Powers could not take from us any of our
territory. Neither could they occupy any
considerable part of il for long time, but
Win AiIiA liAillNil0G utSAS VI CAhlottS fuitl
battleships they could blockade our ports.
They could even enter our ports and de-
stroy our coast cities. They might even
land armies and hold part of our terri
tory for a little time. but we should get
the better of the fight in the course o.
time and make them pay dearly for the
damage they did TO u.s.
spread-eagle orators to appropriate the
necessary money we are not ready for
war with first-class Power. We are not
even ready for war with so weak
Power as Spain. Our own city is not pro-
vided with ample means of protection,
though work on the fortifications is being
pushed vigorously. We havnt a great
navy. 1t was so small when the war cloud
first appeared that we had to search the
shipyards of Europe for cruisers. And ou't
army is small-very small for so great q
country.
Yes, give us time to build a navy create
an army and fortify our ports and we
could safely defy the world, but in our
present unprepared condition the top-lofty
talk which has been heard in The Senate
is out of place. II doesn't inspire think
ing people with confidence In those who.
hold the destinies of the nation in their
hands.
Europe is not, of course, going to com
bine against us. Great Britain would not
enter a combination of that kind, and as
long as she remains in sympathy with US
there is no danger of a combination of the
other European Powers. With the aid of
England We could. even in our present I'M
prepared condition, defy the rest of Eu-
rope. If our senators and representative
instead of telling the world how great a
people we are, would put us in a position
TO prove our greatness if the occasion to
do so should arise-that is, should provide
fortifcatons battleships and an up-to-
date army-they would come nearer get
ting the respect of the people than by in
dugng In Boosting talk to win the APP
plause of their crossroads constituents.

Going to war with Prussia twenty-odd
years ago did not save France from trou-
bles at home. In the same manner, going
to war with the United States now might
not save Spain from troubles at home.
The Spanish minister of war said the 9TH
er day that it would be better for the
army of that country TO fight foreigners
than to fight Spaniards. Kit might trans
Spaniardsy after nit had fought foreigners,
and got whipped by them. And then the
army would be in no good shape for Eght-
ing Spaniards.

The revenue officers who look after the
governments interests in Cook county,
Tennessee, are much annoyed by female
noonshiner. She openly violates the law,
and has a notice posted on her door to
the effect that she deals in liquors; still
the officers cannot send her TO Jail. The
reason is that she weighs 600 pounds. and
there is not a door in the jail big enough
for her to get through.

to have it combed, but the nurse said that
wouldn't do, and used vaseline to keep it
in, then used beef's marrow, then quinine

helped it Immediately. The nurse said she
rubbed up q fine white dust from the sca]n
where she could see nothing before COM

more natural every day. Now 1 haven't as
many gray hairs as when commenced using
CUTIoURA, and I have crop of fine brown
hair all over my head about an inch and
half in length. / only lose a few hairs when
combing every day, and always more gray
than brown. My nurse is delighted because
the new hairs are brown. never had verv

''There Is little probability that legitl-
mate business enterprises would be unfa-
vorably affected by a war with Spain. -
says the Chicago Times-Herald. Our Chi
cago contemporary must take a near
sighted view of the situation. Can it see
to the seacoast? Can its mental vision take
in the South and the Southwest? AS a
matter of fact Legitimate business enter
prises" have already been hurt, considera-
bly, hurt. by the prospects of a war with
Spain. Several steamship lines, sailing a
number of vessels and employing hundreds
of hands, have discontinued their services.
Shippers on the Atlantic coast are exper-
fencing difficulty in charterng vessels to
move lumber, cotton and other products.
Commerce is being handicapped with war
risk" marine insurance. Merchants in some
sections are curtailing their business.
Banks in some of the large cities are cut
ting down their credits. Are these not
legitimate business enterprises, and are
they not already feeling the effects of war?
In the far West and Northwest, proba-
bly,, there would be but little interruption
of business; but those sections do not COM
prise the whole country.

The Topic is right. The banks, the
building and loan associations, the tele
graph companies, the express con
panies, the railroad companies, steam
boats and canal companies pay State
taxes, direct to the State Treasurer.
There is no commission allowed him
for collecting them. The whole amount
goes into the State Treasury. Why,
then. pray tell US. you who are advo
eating q new Office to collect, and
pocket part of the taxes of the incur.

We are not lawyers, but we don't
see how the Legislature al at this time
deprive DR.. Thompson OF any part of
the salary or perquisites of his Office
without going back on the Constitu
ton; but they can change this law to
take effect when his present term ex

The infamous faIsehoods regarding
the negroes position aud power in North
Carolina, circulated during the recent
campaign, will go on and on and do
our State almost irreparable damage
before sIoW.going truth overtakes
them. It makes US sick at heart to
see 10 papers in other States the Sian
ders upon our States good name, and
sicker at heart to think that in most
instances these ISLANDERS we're inspired
by degenerate North Caroliuians.
For instance, a MunchRusen writing
from Raleigh tells the Atlanta Journal
that eight tenths Of the county officers
in Eastern Ca olina are negroes. He
will have a hard task proving that one
fifth Of them are negroes. This ap
plies also to Golfers Weekly, which
said last week that most of the minor
magistrates and official guardians Of
peace and order have been blacks"
And here's the st. Louis Democratic and
Journal, which declares that ''cn
Thursday, Nov. 10th, the entire city
government Of Wilmington, N. O.,
composed exclusively Of coIored men,
was forced to resign" The facts are:
Every nan from Mayor to Chief of
Police, save one, was white, and of the
80 policemen, 81 we're white. We may
be mistaken, but we very much fear
that the originators of these FLANDERS
will not give US better State govern
ment than we now have.
Since writing the above we have an
other paper which has been crazed by
the ''nigger domination" howlets This
time it is a religious paper. the New
York Observer
Referring to North Carolina, it says:
The white minority has, by armed
force rejected the theoryot me- ority
rule and universal suffrage, the basis
of republican institutions, and set up
government by minority"
If the Observer had taken the pains
to look at the 1890 census reports, it
would have found that in North Caro-.
