NEXT YEAR.

Whether the democratic paper in the
north viii support the next democratic
oninee for the presidency Is mors
than doubtful. Their name is legion
too. There will be a big fight over ex-
pansion and h empire, and ii looks
now as If politics in 1900 will be much
mixed. The Philadelphia Record. that
licked itself out Of the democratic
party and did all it could to put in high
tariff Mckinley, recently tried TO draw
comfort In khis way:
Twelve months ago a few people
would have predicted that by this time
such republican leaders as John Sher-
man, George f. Hoar, George F. Ed
munds, Thomas II. Reed. and Eugene
Hale would be utterly without infu-
ence or recognition in the supreme
councils of their party. Whilst Sena-
tor Mason, of Illinois, has been COM
pletely ~ostracised, Senator Foraker, OF
Ohio, is hanging on h ragged edge Of
the party, and his ostracism is only a
question Of a little time"
The Record is supporting Mckinley
in his expansion war, and will probably
go for him next year. If the republican
party is something divided il will gel
together when the test comes-party
success or defeat. The leaves and fishes
are immensely attractive. THE CO
hesive power Of public plumber is &
potent instrument among such men az
Mckinley and his Man Friday, Mark

A GREAT PAPER ON THE NEGRO

The Messenger has copied recently
from the New York Evening Post, q
leading northern daily with much SYM
pathy with the negroes, some moderate
and just sentiments in reference to the
vexing, perplexing negro question. IL
the past we have noticed expressions
we by no means Telished because we
thought them unjust, and not true. 1t
takes northern people a long time tc
understand the southern situation OF
the real character Of the negroes as
a class. SO long as they remain in the
north and criticize they betray ignor-
ance and prejudice. But it is an il
Illuminating fact that when people o.
northern birth and rearing come intc
the south and become citizens that
they learn very fast, and soon take in
the conditions and what is best for all
for ordinarily they are people of intel.
ligence and are practical. We saw or

Wake Forest college and ait Southern

a man of attainments, of genuine abil-
ity. He was in some respects a strong
man, and could be well described as
great according ITO the reckless
abuse of that word. He is said to have
known seven languages, but of that
we know nothing. He vas a gallant
confederate soldier. rose to the rank Of
captain, and fought in many hard

the Raleigh News and Observer says
of his military life:

The Tarboro ~Southerner says that
Edgecombe county grows about one
twentieth of the cotton of the state
while manufacturing but one-sixtieth.
1t mentions that the factories in that
county have helped cotton, making It
sell here for $3.50 to 81 more thar It
would if there had been no factory.
Therefore. if there shall be sold here
this season. 10000 bales. our factories
will have benefited the farmers from
$4,000 ITO $4,000" If that is true it
is very important to Edgecombe and
there should be more factories in the
county. The Southerner farther states
that the Rocky Mount mills have de
clared a dividend of 80 per cent. and 4
semi-annual dividend Of 4 per CENT"
That is certainly very remarkable il
we understand what it means.
