A BIG CONVENTION NEXT WEEK.

They are coming next week. The
Democratic cohorts are making ready
to come in fun force to the State Con
vention. 1t promises to be largely at
tended and to start one of the most inn
portant campaigns ever waged in North
Carolina. Cursed by unjust and bad
rule in the State and nation, the people
are getting more and more ready to rally
to the standard set up at Monticello by
Jefferson, at the Hermitage by Jackson,
and at Chicago by Bryan.
A big convention means enthusiasm,
and enthusiasm in North Carolina means
that the people will be stirred from one
end Of the State to the other. When
they are aroused. the Tar-heel is for
decent and honest government, such as
the people enjoyed under Vance and his
Democratic successors.

ONE GOOD RESULT OF WAR.


The politicians who have fattened by
keeping alive sectional feeling had man
aged to make the whole world believe
that the South did not love Old Glory as
much as the North This was evident
from the tone of the Spanish papers
which predicted that as soon as the
Federal government became engaged in
foreign struggle, the South would take
mp arms to obtain its independence.
The London Mail thus comments on
one good result of the war:
IF for nothing else, the war with
Spain will ever be memorable in Ameri-
ca for having finally obliterated the lines
left by the civil war between the North
ern and Southern States. The nomina-
tion Of the Virginian and Confederate
Fitzhugh Lee as a major general in the
national service proves this. He is the
first Confederate to be admitted to the
army. At last the republic is united
the embers of the last war are burned
out, and the country knows no North
or South or East or West within its
borders"

Tc klondike by Rail.

MONTREAL, Feb. 15.-C. II, Wilkin-
son, representing the British Yukon
Company, says the construction of a
railroad through White pass, from the
head of Lynn canal to Lake Bennett,
will be begun Immediately by his COM
pany. The road, which will be 45
miles in lenght, will be completed
within 80 days of the beginning of the
work.
The British Yukon Company, of
which the Duke of Teck is president,
also holds charter from the Dominion
government for the construction of
the road through White pass. The
announcement, some weeks ago. Of
the governments having negotiations
with Messrs. Mann and Mackenzie,
determined the British Yukon Com
pany to build the road over White
pass at once.
The width of the track will be three
feet six inches. The grade over the
pass will be 3 per cent, and at points
where the grade is the steepest what
is known as the "A. b. T." rail will be
laid. This rail, which is used in the
Hartz mountains in Europe, has notch
es for the grip to cog wheel, and
is part of the locomotive. Mr.. Will
kinson says the road will be completed
by the middle of the summer.

Anti american Sentiment Becoming
General in Madrid.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16-A Herald dis
patch from Madrid says:
The public feeling here against the
United States is very strong. In TIE
public mind the general conviction is
that the United States Intends to force
war upon Spain, and that the latter
must absolutely stand her ground:
that in Cuba the autouomists will side
with Spain, fighting against the
United States troops. and /! a. the
Spanish would encourage the landing
of American troops in great numbers
now that the unhealLhy season is COM
ing on, as it would kill them off like
flies. AT the same time the ships of
war could bomb lrd the coast towas.
which, with the exception ot New
York, are considered unprotectt d, the
United States not having sufficient
warships to protect them.
At the same time another calculation
is made on the widespread ruin which
would fall upon business men in the
United States, whereas the bourse
here would scarcely change as is the
case with the United States. 1t would
merely be the first step toward the
solution of the question, which is
slowly bleeding the resources of the
country to death. Such is the repre-
sentative idea of public Spanish feel
ing today.

FACTS ABOUT WOOL.

Judge Lawrence, of Taxas, one OF
the few high protectionists of the Lone
Star state, and who appeared before
the senate finance committee when
the Dingley bill was being con-
sidered at the special session, labcring
for high protective duty on wool
and woolens, in an article which was
published in recent issue of the'Wool
Record. cites some facts regarding the
wool tariff and it's effects on the wool
industry that are of interest. Judge
Lawrence says in part:
"The Dingley Law does not impose
sufficient duty on shoddy, mungo, nails,
wastes and foreign rags. too often full
of disease. Why should we permit
these articles to bs imported?
''The Dingley law has improved the
prices of wool over free wool TO small
extent-about cents per bound.
"But much of the present price
grows out of other causes. The eight
months drouth in Australia destroyed
10000, 900 sheep and free wool in this
country reduced our hocks some H.
000, 900. AS a consequence. the wool
supply was reduced, and this increased
the price.
''But the flocks of Australia will
soon be increased. and then wool will
be reduced in price unless our wool
tariff be increased"
So according to Judge Lawrence an
average duty. of 10 cents a pound is
not sufficient to protect the American
wool growers against competition with
the Australians so coon as they shall
have recovered from their recent
droutn and shall have replenished
their fiocks. In short, if wool raising

GOVERNMENT BY MONEY.

The capture Of government by the
money power is the subject of q strik-
Ing and forcefui article by John Jay
Chapman which opens the February
Atlantic. Mr.. Chapman finds this to
be but chapter in the history of COM
merce, the result of the growth of
wealth and the concentration of cap
ital during tine iaat quarter century.
These enormous aggregations of wealth
arising from new conditions and re-
quiring new laws inevitably strive
to their utmost to control the legisla-
tion which they seek.
This would have occurred under any
form of government, but was greatly
facilitated under ours by the result of
the late war. which left the nation d.
yidea into two bitterly hostile parties,
the members of which voted blindly
for their own party candidates. Mr..
Chapman exhibits the capitalists by
means of campaign subscriptions cap
turing one or the other party, until
finally both are practically supported,
and their candidates and policy die
tated, by moneyd combinations form
ing ring or rings, and becoming
what be characterizes as ''a Happy
Family" From this condition arises
the boss, who is at first the CONNER
cial agent and political manager of the
money power but finally developes in
to political dictator, who in his turn
dominates and blackmails the capital
lists who have created him.
With keen analysis Mr.. Chapman
details the methods, rise and progress
of. this Capture of Government"
from its small beginnings in some
country town where the railroad
wants location, to its full develop
|ment in Tammany Hall and "bosses"
Hike Platt and Croker; and until the
whole community is poisoned with the
belief that honesty does not pay, and
that even justice must be bought. He
thinks, however, that the worst stage
is already passed; that the tide is
turning: that the recent contest in
New York indicates a revolt of the
people which will not cease, but will
continue until reformation is effected.
He believes that the disease of our
body polite is not mortal though it
has been acute, and the cure is at home.
