BEST FRIENDS OF CORPORATION.

The best real friends of corporations
are the men who believe that they
should be required to Eve strictly within
their charters, not permitted TO wrong
the people, and to guarantee them the
fullest protection under the law. In
the last campaign a sentiment was
worked up to the effect that Mr.. Bryan
and his followers desired to deprive
wealth of its rights. This sentiment
was manufactured by men who were
enjoying some special privilege or living
in violation of the law. who feared to
lose their unlawful advantages. They
had good reason to fear the election
of Mr.. Bryan. He would have shown
them no quarter. But the corporations
doing u legitimate business, which in
clude nearly all Of them, have mo better
friend than Mr.. Bryan and the men who
train with him. .c
Mr. Bryan has recently visited New
Orleans where he was accorded an ora
tion unprecedented in the history of that
Southern metropolis. Commenting on
his visit and speech, the Times Democrat
said:
1T is only The ignorant and thought.
less who say that Mr.. Bryan and his
followers are the enemies of wealth
honestly held and acquired. The Anar-
chiSt could not wish for better allies than
the misguided multi-millionaires who
seek to escape all the burdens while
utilizing all the powers OF the govern
ment 1T was such folly on the part of
the aristocracy that made the French
Revolution so destructive and bloody.
With saner counsels, France might have
passed quietly into the freedoms and
quiet OF a constitutional monarchy.
Every patriotic American must wish
to see these fatal tendencies i'll our own
government checked before the brink
of the precipice has been reached. What
ever may happen, the plain, common
people will follow Mr.. Bryan until the
cause is won and until the government
shall be no longer conducted, az il is
now, on the principle 10 him who hath
Shall be given. and from him who hath
not shall be taken the little that he
hath For the spirit that animates both
the man and the party is the spirit that
has filed thousands of patriot graves
throughout this dear country Of ours.
1t is the spirit that gives significance to
the flag and constitutes the glory of its
stars"

OUR NEWS SERVICE.


The war story moves magniticenty
along.
The Associated Press is passing it in re-
view with steadiness and accuracy.
Thus the News and Observer has had
nothing to misIead. nothing which had
to be undone in the memory because it
did not happen.
In the handling of Il service of such
variety and magnitude it is but a trib-
ute to the intelligence and pOise of our
readers that it should be done with care
and calmness to the end that no Eighty
or hysterical pictures should distract the
reader from the seriousness and proper
sequence of each step forward.
With this i'll view it has been the de-
sire of this paper TO present what has
been told in IL way answering only to
what was generally warranted by the
splendid narration.
The work of the Associated Press has
been done by men who are masters in
the newspaper craft. They have pro
cceded with patience and balance. We
are keeping abreast with what they say.
and are trying to do no more.
This, we believe, is in every way
worthy of the dignity and weight that
should mark the States leading paper.
When war is declared. it will be first
made known through the News and Oh.
server, and when it is read in these
columns there will be no doubt arising
in the minds of those who read
For, looking back upon the unfolding
of it all, men will take pride in say
ing that this paper, at least, has simply
held the mirror up that they might see
the picture in its truth
Meanwhile, whatever be done toward
the lifting of the Cubans from the slime
of the cruel centuries on to the hills of
their hearts desire. will be hailed
here as Il elimination of justice toward
which we have, in our humble way,
tried to put in our own word sincerely
and i'll season.

HOW TO THE TREAT M0RM0NS.

The North Carolina Christian Advo-
cate in its last issue says:
Eve learn that a Mormon church was
burned down few days ago near
Princeton in this State. Such an act
is the expression of an opposition run
mad. Such opposition instead OF queich-
ing the flames fans Them We arc glad
TO see that public attention IS beng
drawn to the invasion of North Carolina
bv the Mormons. We must know that
there is an enemy before we can hght
him. But let MS remember that the
weapons of our warfare are not car
nal" The Bible is the best weapon
with which to fight. Such tactics as
we're adopted in the case of the chn:ch
near Princeton, if pursued for only :,
few wears, would plant Mormonism i'll
our State, which thing may God fore
fend."
The Concord Times notes that two
Mormon elders, visiting that town last
week, were whipped by men because
they left literature at their houses,
against the protests of their wives. They
took to their Ecels and ran, reported
the matter to the authorities who did
nothing, and then shook the dust off
their feet as witness against that town.
There is no excuse for the burning Of
the church or the beating of the elders.
The christian Advocate is cternalls
right in saying that if such tactics, IF
pursued for only Il few years would
plant Mormonism in our State" Nor
monism is too rotten a creed, appealing
to too low instincts, to deserve the
growth that persecution would give t..
The missionaries do not preach poly
gamy here. but the history Of their
church sanctions it. This gives it a
place with those who would like to be-
long to church that does not condemn
their wickedness.
The Advocate, published at RfchfeId.
Utah. is apparently the eAdct informa-
ton about the survival of polygamy in
many of the smaller towns in Utah and
its almost open practice by men of
prominence in these communities. At
Richfield, plural wives" it says, if not
numerous. are not rare: their status is
known to all, and no social disgrace at
taches either to these women or to their
husbands The Advocate recently called
to this condition of affairs in
a paragraph which contained very I'M
pleasant old Anglo-Saxon word, and
asked why the local authorities did not
deal with the insolent violations of law
that We're going on. The result was a
storm of indignation among the Nor
mon residents. and one of the plural
wives" avenged The Advocates Tn
suit by striking its editor a vigorous
blow in the face as She passed him on
the street The Mayor of the town,
who is also Mormon Bishop is quo
ted as commenting aer course, and us
saying that if he had the power he
would cxcommunicate every church
member who allowed in his home a pa.
per that spoke harshly of polygamy. Sew
eral Mormon newspapers have joined in
The Advocate, though they
have no denials TO enter as to dts charge.
Such things ought TO cause all good
men to give the cold shoulder to iall

BEST SORT OF ADVICE.

Last weeks Jacksonville Times CON
ta.ns a whole chunk of wisdom in the
following paragraph:
Don't be i'll any hurry about promis-
ing To support any man for an official
position. \ better mar may come out
before the nominations are made. Hold
yourself free, and support the best men,
such a course will be better for the pub
lie welfare and for your own conscience"
In ordinary times it is well for men
whose influence is worth anything not
to :njrlre it by promising support early
in the action. Now, when the conditions
are complicated, the wisdom of with
holding such pledges must be apparent
to all thoughtful men who are anxious
to redeem the State.
1t is no crime for a man to aspire 10
office and when the Democrats are firmly
intrenched in power it is but natural
that ambitious men will seek the nomi
nations of their party. This year no
Democrat ought to press his candidacy
for any nomination from the highest to
the lowest The man who serves his
party best will be the man who will
seek to name the strongest and most
available candidates. gladly putting
aside his own ambitions for the sake of
helping to bring about the success of
his party's principles.

COTTON FACTORIES COMING SOUTH.

One by one the cotton mill men from
New England invest i'll Southern mills.
Recently a great cotton concern Ill New
England built a mill i'll the South with
the view of transferring gradually ats
entire business to the South. Refer
ing to the incident, the Providence jour
nal says:
..Tbe reported decision of another New
England cotton manufacturing corpora
ton to transfer its business, or a consld-
cradle part therefore, to a Southern town
and a. new plant. forbids us to dismiss
from constant consideration the tenden
cy of the cotton industry in this respect.
No sane man believes that this great III
dllstry is doomed to speedy extinction
here in New England, but it grows plain
or all the time that certain changes nave
become inevitable, including the trans
fer to Southern localities of the produc-
ton of certain classes of goods, or
major portion of them. Whether the real
difference between the Northern ana
Southern mills in the profitableness OF
those lines of business is in geographical
location or an management and equip
ment is perhaps an open question: But
the existence of the difference itself IS
obvious enough; and it is perhaps but
natural that when New England manu-
facturers find it necessary to make
changes they should turn first TO the
field where conditions seem to have been
most favorable III recent years That
this field is the South is .undeniable,
whatever differences Of opinion there
may be as to the real reasons why II
is So"
And it is less than ten years ago that
Edward Atkinson told the world that the
South would never manufacture cotton.
The success of cotton manufacturing
in the South has been demonstrated al
most entirely by NATIVES Southerners,
working with Emitted capital and under
many adverse conditions. They have
made, it clear that the South will be
THE centre of cotton manufacturing,
and will gladly welcome all who come
TO carry forward the work already
growing substantially.
The Davidson Dispatch says THE cor
porations had fight with the Governor
of North Carolina, and Inc is theirs.
That's right. He started out declaring
that he would champion the rights of
the people; in one year he has surren-
dered, horse, foot and Dragon, most
ignominiously. There hasn't been Il
more disgarceful flop in the history of
any public man in America. As a result
the people sdespisc him because he deser.
ted their fight, and the railroads have
nothing but contempt for him.

Have Appointing Power.

Allegany county have been vested with pow er
of appointing teachers in their respective
districts. This, heretofore, was done by the
board ofschool commissioners -Humberlan d

Whether that is a happy radiance
for the commissioners remains to be
seen.
The JOURNAL entertains an old-fash-
Toned notion that, for the good of thu
pupils, the convenience and profit of
the teachers should not be considered
And the further from home the
power OF appointment is located the
better that notion will be carried out.
The abdicaton of this power by the
commissioners. therefore, endows home
