Ruinous Effects.

The evil and wrong OF the credit
system is demonstrated before our
eyes in some form or other every
day. On Monday the property of
a citizen of this town was put up
and sold for debts contracted.
The property brought less than
half of its value. and much less
than it cost. Another Illustration
is given in settling up the estate
Of the late DR.. Huilord. Many
citizens, some of them not able to
pay without seriously embarrass-
ing themselves, have bills brought
against them for amounts ranging
where from 500 to $500, run
ming through number of years.
Many Of these debtors could easily
have settled their bills at the time
the visit was made as easily, or
easier than now. The columns of
the newspapers will contain, from
this time Oh to January LIST, no
tees to customers that unless they
come forward and settle their old
debts they Will be placed in the
hands of officers, and then will
follow lawsuits, forced sales, and
trouble without end. When will
our people, buyers and sellers,
learn wisdom and change their
business methods ?

Editor Maniey.

Manley, the negro editor OF vii
mington, n. o., whose foul puhli.
cations against the ladies' of thn
South were the cause of much of
the trouble that took place in thai
city. is lecturing in the North. A
few nights ago he appeared before
a Brooklyn au iei1e. There he
repeated his ISLANDERS to a sympa
thetic crowd, nearly all OF VIII ON
were people of his own co;or.
So long as the negroes counte
nance such men as Manley there
can be no peace between them and
the whites. If they knew what
was good for themselves they
would chase all the Mnalcys out
of the country. 1t is not the whites
they hurt, but the very people
they profess to love.
From remarks made by Marley
in his Brooklyn lecture, the people
of Wilmington may rest satisfied
that he will not dare return to that
city again.-Richmond Dispatch,

Congress-.

The Fifty.lifth Congress assem-
bled last Monday. Its members
will have much to engage their
earnest attention, and many i'm
pOrtant measures to discuss. 1t is
to be hoped there will be less
speaking to the galleries than at
the last session, and that the pco.
pies representatives will attend to
the business cut out for them
rather than to mending fences IN
their home districts. Above all it
is to be hoped that no partizan
discussion shall be aroused grow
ing out of the late Iispanio-
American war and It's results. 1t
is well known that there will be a
systematic effort in certain quar-
ters to force Democrstic members
into opposition to the administra.
ton on this issue. Nothing would
be more unwIse than to give our
opponents an opportunity to
assail us in this behalf, and moth.
ing would so handicap the party
III the next general election. AS
we have said heretofore the par
ties cannot divide on the question
of territorial expansion, because
individual members of each party
may maintain antagonistic views
Expansion now is fixed fact, and
few people will be so unwisc as to
offer futile and bootless opposi
ton. The question will come up
on the bill for an Isthmian canal,
and just now the friends Of that
measure have more to fear from
the "insular" policy of Speaker
Reed than from any other source.

The Race Problem.

Much is being written of the
lace problem in the South, and
much that is said is both foolish
and mischievous. We have had
an abiding belief that this prob
lem would solve itself in time, and
but for the Vaccinations of out
siders it would have been settled
long ago. There is no reason why
southern men of the white race
should not live amicably with the
colored men, with whom they have
been raised, and whose faults and
virtues are an open book to them.
We would have been far less
shocked if during the recent riots
IN southern states few dozen
scurvy white men of the Tolbert
stripe had been slaughtered in
stead of the negroes, who were
their credulous tools. AS soon as
the awakening intelligence of the
negroes grasps the fact that they
owe nothing but the evils that
afiilct them to the Republican
party, they will divide politically
on local and personal issues; and
they will become to a certain ex
tent fathers in politics; they will
cease to irritate the prejudices and
contravene the opinions of their
white neighbors, and both races
will work together in harmony for
the mutual OBJECT of white man
ana black man-to advance the
Interests of the sections in which
they reside, and better individual
conditions.
The cOlOred brother has been
grlevously wronged by the party
that forced suffrage upon him be.
fore he understood its obligations.
and that he has been wronged and
deceived Systematically by politi-
clans OF that party ever since he
became a voter, goes without say

The Goose Bone.

According to one Mr.. Ezekiel
Bonzy, rural savant of the State
of Maine and Il skilled reader of the
goose's breastbonc, the present will
ter is going to be rip.snorter. Mr..
Bonzy predicted some time ago that
there was going to be snow storm
In November, and his prognostica-
lions have been well verified. He
says there is going to be much snow
from now on until the middle of
March.
We learn from Mr.. Bonzy that
for the first time in eight years the
goose-bone is white at the frost
end, indicating early snowfalls. AS
the bone of 1S9S-'99 is very wide
and mostly white all oyer the sur
face, Mr.. Bonzy infers that there
will be deep snow and good sleigh
ing for nearly five months. TO veii
fly his predictions and to show by
collateral evidence that his goose
bone theories are correct, lie has
made extensive researches among
corn-husks, beechnpt-burrs, and
fur bearing animals. He says all
of these indicate that he cannot
go wrong in his representations.
The Maine lumbermen are acting
upon the suggestions of their
esteemed weather prophet, and are
planning to go into the woods early,
while operators are getting options
on large areas of stumpage. While
we ourselves feel an irresistible de-
sire to ask "Who is Bonzy?" we will
not haggle over technicalities, but
propose buying Il pair of worsted
mittens. Richmond Dispatch.

1t seems that nothing but some
necessary formalities remains yet
for the Peace Commissions. Spain
has yielded to the inevitable, and
we have little doubt that the lop.
piDff off of her colonial possessions
will be OF ultimate benefit to the
nation and of inest;mable advan.
tage to the reigniDg dynasty. The
colonial wars have been fruitful
sources of domestic trouble, and
with these disposed of the nation
will become more secure Of foreign
entanglements, aud can easily con-
troll the Carllsts and other disaf-
fected classes at home. AS for the
effect on the United States, we are
equally confident that it will be
salutary, and that in five years
there will be no voice raised in op-
positsOn to colonial expansion.
Our insular policy has produced
every financial crisis that we have
passed through in late years, and
a wider market for our supplies
has been the crying demand. a
larger standing army and a
stronger navy will only be a
means of scattering money among
the people, as we have observed
during the last five months, ard
the immense trade of our acquired
territory will more than compen-
safe the increased expenditure.

The conditions in the Ninth dis

those i'll the eastern and southern
portions Of the State that we do
not believe the cry of fraud will
have much weight even with Re
publican Congress. The elections
in Southwest Virginia are as fair
as i'll any portions of Massachu-

Delinquent Tax Law.

OF this law has been to bring into

it will be elected next year. There
is not so much reprgnance 10 the
operations of the law as there is
to provisions which permit certain
syndicates to realize the benefits
from it. Not only is this the case,
but lawyers say that the law will
so complicate the titles to landc d
property that in many cases it will
be next to impossible after the
laps of few years to ever solve
them.-MariOn News.
Quite a numbhr of citizens of
this town have been compelled to
contribute of their hard earned
money to the land syndicate. In
one case the State got about 60
cents and the land grabber $500.
The law seems to us unwise, and
evidently will have to go.
