why so CONFIDENT ?

Our Democratic friends are expressing
great confidence in their ability to carry
the Ninth Congressional district at the ap'
preaching fall election. They speak OF
such result as a foregone conclusion.
On what do they base their confident pre-
dictions?
In 1896, with all the serious disadvan-
tages resulting from one-sided and I'M
fair election law, with the gush and rush
of free silverism, Organism and Populism
all combined against them, the Republi-
cans carried the district by large major
lty. But for votes that were lost by I'M
properly marked and defaced ballots the
majority would have been nearly thee
thousand for the Republican ticket In the
district. Has there been anything done
or said to change the condition Of sentl-
ment among the people as expressed by
the result of the election in 1896? Has
the Democratic party, State or National,
accomplished anything to the very great
benefit of the country since its defeat in
the last national election? Have the re-
suits that they predicted would follow
Republican success come? Have the bus
mess conditions Of the country been I'M
proved since the advent of the Mckinley
administration or have they grown worse !?
Has the cause of fat money and q de-
based free silver currency been strength
ened in any way? Thinking, honest men
will say in response to these interrogatories,
no!
There has been no noticeable change in
the political sentiment of the Ninth Con-
gressional district, certainly none that is
favorable to the doctrines of Organism.
The agricultural interests of the Southwest
were never in better shape. The farmer
who is not doing we'll is one who has moth
ing to sell or who was burdened with
debt under q Democratic administration
from which he is struggling to free him
self In the mining regions of the Ninth
district men are now idle only from choice,
while the lumber business was never more
active. Since the defeat of free silver in
1896 the business conditions Of our Sec
ton have been steadily improving. 1t
cannot, therefore, be said that the voters
of the district have become dissatisfied
because of the failure of the Republican
party to redeem its promises, or from a
demonstration of the correctness of the
doctrines of the Bryanites.
We fear the Democrats are basing their
COnuueHL aSSerIlOnS, dc w theh aU'AIy ~
carry the district, upon something else
than a change in popular sentiment.
Perhaps they have found out that they
made too many mistakes" in 1896 and
will not repeat them in 1898. Republi-
canism is stronger in the district than it
was in 1896. Every promise of the party
has been discharged or an honest effort is
being made to make it good. If our can
didate for Congress is defeated in Novem-
Der it will be brought about by the Wal
ton election law and not by change in
popular sentiment.

North and South Line Established.

Mr. Edwin Smith, of the U. S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey, was in town last
week taking magnetic observations. He
determined the force Of the earths magne-
tism and the magnetic declination for this
place, and, while here, established a true
North and South line, which will be Of
great benefit to surveyors in testing their
instruments. Monuments were erected to
indicate the line-one on College Hill and
the other on the lawn in front of MIR. j.
G. BustoR's residence.
Mr.. Smith expressed himself as being
delighted with our town and surrounding
county. As he is man of much travel,
we are of the opinion that he knows
good thing when he sees it.

Money, the Farmer an These Days.

Baltimore "sun" Qnd. Dem)l
Are the farmers dissatisfied? Are they
now clamoring for Mexican money? Not
a bit of it. Gold is good enough for them,
not too good, as Mr.. Bryan tried to per-
suade them. The honest farmer, indeed,
has many things to reflect upon these
days. He now sees Mr.. Bland and Mr..
Bailey, with the approval of Mr.. Bryan,
asking not for the free coinage of silver SO
much as the free coinage Of paper. They
reveal that the purpose of silver argu-
ment was not, after all, to get silver to rise
but debase the dollar-to inject fiat into
it. They were content, as a beginning, to
make the dollar half silver and half Gov
eminent stamp, but now they come out
openly and ask that it be made wholly OF
the Government stamp.

A Few Considerations.
Jacksonville "Times-Uniono (Dem,)I

Jacksonville "Times Union" tDem.)l
1t is objected that to acquire posses
sions in the other hemisphere is to aban-
don the Monroe doctrine, but this seems
to strain point. We declare that Eu-
ropean powers shall not acquire new
American territory. The corollary to this
is the position that we shall not acquire
European territory, and therefore we can
not hold the Canaries. But are we for:
ever debarred from the acquisition ofports
and stations of islands and colonies in the
other quarters of the globe? If so, we
cannot protect our commerce and must
consent to let England do our carrying
trade forever.

THE Populists of North Carolina, in
convention assembled, have invited the
Democrats of that state to join with them
in the approaching campaign. They pre-
sented in their platform a dish more nau-
seating than the Chicago platform, if that
could be possible, and one great many
Democrats are not likely to partake Of
The Raleigh Post serves notice that the
most of the Democrats will not join in the
fusion.

Col. HENRY WArrERsoN has nominated,
in the Courier-J Journal, a presidential
ticket for 1900. 1t is George Dewey, of
Vermont, and Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia.
Just at this time such a ticket would be
hard to beat, but change might take
place before 1900.

But we need her immensely more than
she. She is in the middle of the Pacific,
like huge turreted monitor at sea, facing
the approaching enemy from any and
every side.
The best way to defend our Western
cities is to occupy and arm well this great
stronghold in the middle of the Pacific
herself. Let Congress act at once, and
secure our Bermuda Islands in the
Pacific Ocean

GEN. WALKER has defeated two ex'
Judges, and it looks like the Democrats
will put up another ex fer him to defeat.
The Democratic party is party at pre-
cedent, and, hence, does not desire to de-
part from its precedent of having ex,judges
for its candidates, if they do meet with
disaster.

genuine patriotism the more freely will

THE United States Government must do
its duty regardless of the protests Of Euro
pean governments. Ifit is found neces-
sary to cut cables let them be cut. If it is
considered best to appropriate territory
formerly held by Spain let it be appro-
priated.

WESTERN PROSPERITY.

The key of the situation is the pros
perity of the West, which altogether I'M
precedented marketing Of bread -stutis
has caused, with the prospect of good crops
to come. These prospects, and actual re-
ceipts of wheat amounting to $685. ZIG
bushels for the week, against 2,439, 10y
last year, with the advances also in other
grain and cattle, have produced de-
mand for rails, cars, car-materials, fenc-
ing agricultural implements, boots and
shoes, and all textile goods, which was
not anticipated from Eastern indications.
Exports of wheat do not diminish, but in
three weeks from Atlantic ports flour in
cluded, have been 7,955,5S6 bushels
against 4,77S,74 last year and from Pacific
ports, l, 73S, 1913 bushels, against 6lO,637
last year. The price of May wheat fell A
cents On Saturday, rose 7 cents Tuesday,
and closed 81 higher for the week.

ADVANCE IN IRON.

In iron, Notwithstanding the greatest
output ever known, the demand has caus-
ed some advance in Bessemer pig, with
only slight decline in the price Of Grey
Forge at Pittsburg, but full quotations are
obtained at Chicago and Philadelphia.
The textile works are doing rather bet
ter, even the cotton mills in spite of their
over production, for some Of large I'M
portance have recently started again, and
print cloths are sixteenth higher. Nu-
merous wooden mills have been pushed to
new activity by government orders, and
prices for few grades of goods are bet
ter, with stronger tone in the market
generally, although some mills Of import
ance have stopped, as their orders for the
season have run out. While sales of wool
are small, 6,93S, 500 pounds for the three
weeks past, against 27,963, 100 last year,
the manufacturers have ample stocks, al
though some are obliged by government
orders to seek in the market grades Of
wool which they had not expected to re-
quire.
Failures for the week have been $50 in
the United States, against 24S last year,
and 80 in Canada, against 81 last year.

SAILORS GOSSIP.

The Atlantic ocean is crossed month
ly by 1000 ships.
The screw of an Atlantic liner costs
about $4,000.
The ropes of frst-class man-of-war
cost about $4,000.
There are always 100000 people
af1oat on the seas of the world.
The Hamburg and Bremen steamship
lines together forward about 1,30O,-
COO passengers annually.
France pays it's steamship lines over
$3,oo0,0OO year for carrying the mails,
and $4,OOO,OOO as general subsidies.

Japan, which 40 years ago had no
other than coasting vessels, now has

The flags to be hoisted at one time in
signaling at sea never exceed four. It
isan interesting arithmetical fact that,
with IS various colored flags, and never
more than four at a time, no fewer than
1862 signals can be given.
The government has bought 253 boats
since the beginning of the war and has
paid over $9.OoOOoO for them. The
smallest are launches run by naphtha
OR electric engines, while the largest
are transports of 5000 tons.

SOME CURIOUS COLLECTIONS.

Many people have heard OF the late
Lady Charlotte Schrieber's wonderful
collection of fans of all periods and
ages and her equally curious one of
old playing cards.
There is one collection of garters in
Normandy and the other in the north
of England. In one there are some
600 examples, classified into two Sec
tions-the curious and the historical.
A remarkable collection is that of an
American girl, who some five or six
years ago advertised for love letters of
famous people. Statesmen, painters,
authors, poets and others are repre-
sented. Several hundreds of the let
ters are written by poets, who seem to
be more addicted to the tender passion
than any others. Shelley, Byron,
Burns, Verlaine, Shakespeare, Lowell
and Longfellow are represented.
A French woman has collected for
so years specimens of corsets worn at
different periods and in her chateau is
a billiard-room fitted up with glass
cases in which are her treasures.
Those who shuader at the idea of an
1S-inch waist would be shocked at a
corset of the Catherine d Medici reign
with waist of 1874 inches and outside
cover of steel bars to prevent stretch
ing.
The wife of one of the most noted
Paris dressmakers has valuable book
valuable because in future years it
will be a complete record of the femi-
nine dress of to-day. Each page has
small pieces of the fabrics, Innings,
laces and trimmings of gowns made
for customers. The queen of Italy, the
czarina, Empress Eugene, the queen
regent of Spain, Sarah Bernhardt, Car
men Sylvia, Otero and the queen of
Hawaii are all represented.
