Fatally Twisted.

Raleigh Post.
After pulling through the Ohio
contest successfully, Mr.. Hanna tele
graphed the President, "Thank God
the Republican party still lives"
The old party may also be glad that
it is alive as yet, but we suspect it is
very much like the Irishman who, in
hurriedly putting on his trousers to
escape a burning building, and dis
covering he had put them on "hind
part BEFORE" expressed himself az
happy at his escape. but feared he
was fatally twisted .

cruel plunge of the hope killing

of anguish, and sweep the bleeding
bosom with those seething pillows Of
agony that drown the heart in one

of anger, but a reflection of those
dark clouds of gloom which the night

"Dingley Wages"

Boston FOSt.
In Congressman Dingiey's own
town is the great Androscoggin mill
corporation, whose operatives are
now striking against cut-down of
wages. The situation is no woree in
Lewiston than in a good many other
places; it is not SO bad as in some
others. But how is Mr.. Dingley to
explain to his constituents the failure
of his tariff to bring them prosperity
and increase their earnings? Is he
willing to accept 10 per cent. cut
down as the measure of 'sDingIey

IT is a significant fact and worthy
of note that nearly if not quite all
the changes upon the currency ques'
ton are in favor of free coinage and
against the gold standard, and the
present Indications are that free
coinage will win with whoop in
1900. This is the hope that sus-
tains many who are struggling with
the vindictive and avaricious gold
standard, and who, but for this hope,
would surrender in despair.

LEES BIRTHDAY.

We are glad that many OF our
schools observe the anniversary OF
the birthday of Robert E. Lee,
soldier, citizen and Christian
patriot" as be has been modestly
and yet aptly termed. But for the
school exercises the outside world
might think there was want of appre
citation in the South of the services OF
her greatest soma General unsur-
passed in the annals of history.
However, the case stands as the
Charlotte Observer puts it, in lament
ing the lack of general celebration OF
the day. 1t says: "This does not
Indicate a lack of reverence for Lee 8
memory in the South. The people OIL
this section hold him great and
grand, but the truth is that the
South has always been a mighty
slow hand at observing memorial
days and building monuments.
Elsewhere in this issue, we print a
just and glowing tribute to Lee by
Ben Hill, of Georgia, which gives
some conception of how the great
General is regarded by his own peo-
pie and by those who knew him
personally.
But admiration for Lee is not con-
fined to the South. His valor and
skill and patriotism are recognized
the world over where prejudice does
not shut out truth. A recent evil
dence of this is the lecture of Presi-
dent Andrews of Brown University,
to which we have previously referred,
and which our citizens will have the
opportunity to hear on the evening
of the 10th of March. From the
Chicago Times-Herald's report of the
lecture we give the following extracts
to show in what high esteem the
character and achievements of this
great Southron are held by fair
and unprecedented Northern man:
"He had the faith of the crusader;
his letters would make a guide to
holiness. He was always a soldier,
never impure In thought or act,
never profane or obscene. He did
not touch the cup, as did Grant,
Hooker or Phil Sheridan. and when
he lost fight it was never said OF
him that the defeat was due to the
habit which makes mems heads into
muddles. He was never outgeneraled
by Grant in all the campaign from
Rappahannock to James river, never
trapped and never caught mapping
81 failed to find in the books any
such masterful generalship as this
hero showed, holding that slim
gray, line, half starved, with no pros
| pect of additions, and fighting wheI
his army was too hungry to stanC
and the rifles were only used as clubs
His courage was sublime. He was al
great as Gustavus Adolphus, or Ma
poleon, or Wellington, or Won Moltke
| His cause was not the lost cause &C
| much as is suspected. All that wal
good in his cause has been grated
into our laws and our constitution
The doctrine of States rights as nov
interpreted by the Supreme court il
in exact accordance with his claim
on the point"
The mes-Herald says the SUM
mary of DIR. Andrews estimate O
Lee compared with the Fedora
generals is chat he was as brave
more watchful and doubly skillful.

AT least one Republican in high
place has opened his eyes to the fact
that the great struggle in this coun-
try today is between Manhood and
Money. Gov. Pingree, of Michigan,
day or two ago, delivered an adj
dress in Buffalo, New York, upon
"What Constitutes Party Loyalty"
which will attract wide attention and
which has already been taken as an
Indication that the Governor is
ready to leave the Republican party.
Here are few extracts from the ad-
dress, which will give an idea of its
trend: ''To the Republican party
there have focked during the past
few years many birds of ill-omen,
undesirable tenants, who are making
the house 80 foul that they are driv-
ing out the rightful owners" 'To
day all the trusts, all the monopolies,
have taken refuge under the wing of
the Republican party because they
fear the Democratic party, which has
kicked them out" "Many of us life
long Republicans who do not train
with the MONEY power are heartily
sick of being obliged to condone an
defend the trusts"

Now the Maryland Legislature is
tusseling over a Senatorial election.
The Republicans are in majority
and it was expected they would name
Germans successor, but as they have
no less than eight candidates for the
place, and that many receiving votes,
there is no telling when the thing will
end and who will come out on top.
1t is even limited at as possibility
that the deadlock will continue until
the end of the session and that no
result will be attained until another
Legislature has been elected, and
that in such event German may be
returned to the Senate.

Boss REED and the President seem
to have been somewhat agitated
over the threatened breaking away
from the sIavish homage to the

accompanying possibility OF passing

but the Boss vigorously popped his

What lends color to this theory is the
fact that there has never been but one

An ostrich will eat almost anything
It swallows oranges, small turtles
owls. kittens and bones. A South
African writer tells of one swallowing
1 box of peaches, tennis balls, several
yards of fencing wire and half a dozen
cartridges. One followed the workmen
and picked up the wire as they cut it.
Most frequently the ostrich does not
swallow each daiHsy separately, but
collects several in its throat and then
Iwallows them all at once. Sometimes

A new use for peanuts is developing
as the peanut industry becomes better
understood This product of the pea
nut answers in the place of ordinary
butter for table use, and Is said to be
excellent for shortening purposes, and
for gravies, saucers, ct cetera. In
point of purity it is superior to the best

the use of vegetarians, who strenuous
iy object to anything animal.
There Is already considerable de-
mand for this butter substitute, and it
IS very probable there will be an en-

about Ave hundred thousand bags an
