WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND
FRANCE.

The Paris correspondent of sensa-
tional newspaper has set the rumor
ahoat that war is possible between Spain
and France over a matter concerning
the custom duties levied by the former
upon goods manufactured by the lat
ter Such an outcome is hard to believe,
because the two countries have been
for years on unusually intimate terms.

tween nations, but you can tell what

LEST WE FORGET

1t is to be hoped that in desiring to
reward faithful and capable young men,
who are entitled to reward, the Demo
cratic caucus will not tonight forget the
old ex-Confederate soldier who left an
arm or leg on the battlefield, or was
otherwise disabled. These old veterans
are passing away. Soon we will have
only the memory of these noble men
who followed Lee. Let us make their
declining days happy by such apprecia-
tion as is due them.

WHAT Is THE GOVERNOR
PURPOSE I?

Some of the friends of the Governor
say that in his recent actions he has
been actuated by desire to make ap-
pointments that would be acceptable to
the dominant political party. If this is his
desire, why does he not consult the Dem
ocrats before making the appointments:
1t is contended by others that Rus
sells plan is to try to build up new
at the best, is seeking to embarrass
the Legislature which convenes tomor-
row. They argue that he wants to put
in power Democrats who will be in
sympathy with him and yet men who
have strong Democratic friends who will
stanu by them. He doubtless believes
that his policy will cause friction within
the Democra tic ranks and permit him 10
shoulder the responsibility of the peniter-
tiary. for example, off on the Democrats
while not permitting the Democrats in
the regular way to name its superintend
ent and officers. Whatever may be the
result, one thing is certain, the Demo
cratic party will not assume the respon-
sibility for any management selected by
Governor Russell.
The Legislature ought not to lose q
day in appointing committee to make
thorough Investigation of the peniten
tiary from the time it went into Radical
hands up TO this hour John r. Smith
went out under cloud, and everybody
who knows Mewborne knows he would
not surrender good salary and position
that he thought he could keep or fill.
There is something rotten in Denmark"
The Legislature owes it to the tax-pay-
ers to expose the rottenness through a
committee empowered to send for per-
sons and papers. When that is done,
it will be then in a position to legislate
with all the lights before it.

The Legislature of 1899 can return
to the simple and inexpensive sessions
that prevailed from 1876 to 1890. In
fact there are good reasons why the
cost of labor ought to be less than in
the seventies. Then labor had to be
employed to carry coal, wood and water
into the capitol, and make the fires.
Now the capitol is heated by steam,
and water is supplied from the Raleigh
Water Company, thus necessitating
fewer laborers than before these i'm
proyements We're put il. at the capitol.
And yet, notwithstanding the fact that
in the labor department the work is
less, the number of employees has steadily
grown.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1899-01-03

The way to economic is to economic.
The Legislature ought under no circum-
stances to cost more than 81 1000 per day
upon very liberal scale, providing suf-
ficient clerical assistance. and all needed
help Close economy could reduce the
cost even below that figure, but that
ought to be regarded as high-water mark
for Democratic guidance The per diem
of the members is $3.50 per day, leaving
$3.50 per day for other expenses. It is
ample, if right at the beginning of the
session the number or employees is re-
duced to just enough to do the work.
This way of employing many clerks for
the first forty days when they will not
be needed except for twenty days is
wasting the peoples money. Unless the
Democratic caucus starts out at its
very first session by reducing the num-
Der of clerks and employees, it cannot
thirty days from now make a record for
economy.
Raleigh is full of aspirants for the
few positions within the gift of the
Legislature. Most of them are men who
in the sphere of their influence rendered
conspicuous and unseIish service in win
ming the victory tha3 makes this Legs
latnre possible. They are deserving OF
receiving fair treatment at the hands
of their party. 1t is he~duty of the Sena

ECONOMY in administration
The way to economic is to economic.
II the Legislature desires to econo-
mze land there is no doubt about that,
the first step to be taken is to economic
in the cost of the General Assembly.
Twenty years ago it cost something lik.
$4,000 to pay all the expenses of the
sixty days session. Gradually the num-
Der of clerks, pages and laborers were
increased even by the Democrats until
they had spent altogether too much
money to run the Legislature. From
$4,000 they run up the expenses to
more than 100000 and there was a
steady growth in the cost of each sue
ceeding Assembly. The cost of the two
last Legislature when the Democratic
party was in power was:

In their platform in 1894 the Fusion
lists made this declaration:

bly, for its lavish and reckless use of the
peoples money"
And then that gang proceeded to
spend SD, G32.70, or seven hundred bales
of cotton, more than the two last Dem
ocratic Legislatures cost the people.

ALL SOUL s, CHIIRcH
ALL SOULS CHURCH.

Fifteen years almost unthought of.
today one of the most flourishins
churches of the city, although yet in
its infancy, the career of All Souls
Universalist church has been one of
the most noteworthy of all of the more
recent religious movements that have
taken place within the limits of Wor-
cester.
1t was in 1883, when the present pas
tor of All Souls church, Rev. DR. Moses
Henry Harris, was the spiritual leader
of the congregation of the First Uni
Nersalist church, that he, in company
with a few members of his flock, felt
that the time had come when the
church needed to enlarge the field of its
activities, and to branch out in direc-
tions where it would be able to broad
en- the scope of its work.
There was a great feeling of loyalty
to the First church in the hearts Of
its congregation, and most of the men,
bers, including the pastor, felt a deep
seated opposition TO dividing the
church, but il was felt that the duty of
the church was to branch out into new
fields.
The church was becoming overcrowd-
ed, it was true, but the underlying mo-
tive for the extension that afterwards
resulted in the formation of the present
All Souls church was not a desire to
