SUBSCRIPTION RATES,
TIII PEACE TREATY.

IL now seems that the peace trevty
will be ratified on next Monday, the
day fixed for a vote. II it was thought,
however, that the ratification OF The
treaty would necessarily and newt
ably commit US TO colonial policy, It
would stand no chance OF ratification.
There are a number Of Senators who
will vote against the treaty. They
call attention 20 the fact that we ought
to get spain out Of the equation by
rat,fyIng the treaty, and then proceed
to determine for ourselves what policy
we will pursue. They call attention
also to the fact that the treaty n it's
very language says that the future
policy OF the government toward the
Philippine islands shall be determined
by Congress. They also call attention
TO the fact that every person who has
spoken for the administration has de-
MED that there was any intention OF
pursuing colonial policy. They also
call attention to the fact that the PEG
pie Of the United States in the next
national campaign will pass upon the
question or policy which Will undoubt-
eddy be an issue, aud elect a President
and a Congress 10 carry out their wish
es. These Senators, however, regret
that the wording of the treaty il
many respects and especially regret
that the same language in reference Il
the Philippines was not used as wa
used in reference &c Cuba.

A P0rerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable.
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who RELY
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what.
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never

The Court Martial called by the
President to try General Eagan has
finished its work and rendered YER
dict of guilty. OF course it is in the
Presidents power to mitigate the
sentence, but if he does not the result
will be General Eagan's dismissal from
the army. In view of the outrageous
and unwarranted language used by
General Eagan, it is thought by many
that the President will not be able to
mitigate the sentence, but if he should
it is probable that it will be to the
effect that General Eagan will be re
lieved from duty to stay relieved from
duty until by age he goes on the re-
tired list. But if so slight punish
ment as this should be meted out for
such a grave offence, the future ad-
ministratiOns will have this ghost to
rise and haunt them when some minor
officer of the army commits a similar
or as grave an offence.

THE PENSION QUESTION.

In another column we reproduce
from the Washington Evening Star its
report on Senator Buffers speech IN
support of his amendment to the Pen
sion Appropriation bill. Commenting
editorially upon the speech, the Star
says:
"oenator Butler of North Carolina is
an eloquent speaker, but he is several
lays behind the tropic of the hour"
The Star also thinks that when any
one denOunces the characterization of
silver in 1873 that he is also speaking
several laps behind the time. 1t is
never too late to do right and the fact
that the Confederate soldier has been
Disseminated against for thirtyfour
years is no reason why he should con-
tinue to be Disseminated against in
any respect.

me SCHEME FOR A BIG sTAsuING
ARMY.

The Hull army bill - having rough
road to travel in congress. The Pres.
ident has not been able 10 line up all
OF the members OF his own par } upon
this monstrous proposition To increase
the standing army to one hundred
thousand men, which will make an An
nual cost to the tax payer Of $3.50, oO0,-
900. The plea that this many sn!dIers
are needed on account OF our new for
eign acquisitions is not only known to
be without foundation, but is proving
to be boomerang. The reply is made
by many that if We must keep such a
standing army "a this TO hold these
possessions then We do no, want them.
Besides, il Is known to every body W %
cares 10 know, that he real purpose
nd this desire for a tremendous
standing army is not the need for
them in the PHILIPPINES, but for the
use Of monopolists at home, who think
they will soon need n big standing
army 10 force the public into allowing
monopolies and trusts to continue TO
bleed them. If the monopolists will
take our advice We will say to them
they are a great deal safer,without the
existence OF a standing army than
they would be with it. Now, as for
the necessity for an army in the Phil
lipines, We do not need any increase
in our regular standing army for that
purpose unless We intend to go per-
manently in the cOianial policy, which
rybody denies. II we are simply
to hold these islands until they are
capable of sejf-gOvernment, as We are
holding Cuba, then let Congress pro-
vide for a temporary increase of the
army to last, for only, say two or three
years

THE pROGHEss OF pOPULIsT FIRM
GIpIES.


AS our readers and the whole cOun-
try know, Chicago, like mony other
cities, has reaped bitter experience
from following the old party principle
Of allowing private individuals to own
and control public mOnopolles. few
days ago the Monticello club, the lead
ing Democratic club of Chicago, met
and passed the following resolution ::
Resolved, by the members OF the
Monticello club here assembled, that
we are heartily aud unreservedly in
favor Of the municipal ownership OF
all street railways and means OF in
tramural transportation at the earliest
possible moment and without any re-
newal or extension of existing fran
Chises.
Thus we see that those who few
years and even few months ago de-
bounced Populist principles as wild,
crazy, impractical, and paternalsic
have now learned from bitter expert
ence that they are the only safety for
the common welfare. Each day in
every quarter of the country more and
more citizens are realizing the fact
that the Peoples party principles are
simply the principles of good govern
ment represented by JeffersoDian
Democracy and Lincoln Republican
ism, which principles were defeated
by the two old parties when they
went into o-parGnership with the
monopolies.

GOOD ROADS RATHER THAN STATE
FARMS

The penitentiary and especially the
State farms is one of the biggest ques-
ions, apart from eliminating the ne
gro from politics as the Democrats
promised, the present legislature will
have to tackle. 1t never has given
satisfaction, except to the bosses
who run it. The taxpayers should be
protected in two ways, less taxes and
not allow State labor to come in con-
tact with free labor. This is big
question. Under the above heading
the Charlotte Observer says:
An observant and intelligent farmer
of MecklenbuTg who does not talk
much, but who always says something
when he does talk, suggests to the OBJ
server that the State farm problem is
one which is after all quite easy Of So
luton. His idea is to abolish the State
farms and to hire out the cOnvicts to
the various counties and put them to
work at building good roads. The
suggestion is worthy of consideration.
Experience has proved that the State
farm is not desirable institution. 1t
is an Improbable investment for the
State and burden to the taxpayers.
1t touches the farmers pocket book in
another way, for it brings him into
competition with convict labor. The
Observer has information that the
farmers of Arson county have suffered
sorely by reason of the competition
which they have met in the Wades.
boro market with the products of the
State farm near that place. The vol
ume of this competition is in the ratio
of 20 wagons of convict products to
one wagon of the Arson county farm
err, who with bis little store, has to dis
pose of it In competition with convict
labor prices. Thus the State farm there
not only fails to advantage the State
but works positive evil to the farm.
ing community.
This alone would seem sufficient tt
Justify the adjustment of the State
farm, but when by such action an I'M
desirable institution would not only
be done away with, but every county
that wants good roads could at thu
same time be given them, the argu
ment is immensely strengthened. Tn,
only question is, would the counties
call for the convicts? Undoubtedly
they would take all the State coult
Iurnlsn, Juulng by the demands made
by individual counties during the pas
two years. The demand for road
workers is bound to increase with tn
growth of the good roads sentiment
and that is spreading over the State a
rapid rate. The State, by hiring gu
the convicGs to the counties, would no
only get rid of the running expense
OF the State farms, but would be re
iieved of the expense of feeding, cloth
ing and guarding the convicts, Will
the people would be the gamers il
proportion to the number of miles O
good roads constructed each year. Oh
the proposition that good roads ar
more desirable than State farms, W
submit this matter to the considera
tion of the legislature, believing tina
1t furnishes the foundation for som
wise and beneficial legislation.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S BY THE PEO
On last Saturday Senator Butler pre-
scented TO the Senate the resolution
passed by the General Assembly of
North Carolina favoring constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
election Of Senators by the people. He
urged the Senate to take speedy &C
ton on bill or joint resolution now
before it providing for the very amend
ment the North Carolina legislature
declared for. He called attention to
the fact that twenty five states have
already petitioned Congress to submit
such an amendment. He also briefly
called attention to the many scandals,
to charges Of bribery, to dead locks in
many States that are now trying tt
elect Senators. He said that the orig
inal purpose of having Senators cleo
ted by the legislatures had long since
been defeated and that it was now nee
essary to adopt this amendment to re-
vive the spirit of the Constitution.
