Prosperity--HoW It Propers.

The Mckinley wave Of prosperity is
still sweepingon. Around the gates Of
the factories in the cities every morn
ing are found scores and hundreds of
men begging for employment, who are
turned away with the stereotyped ex-
preston, NO work" One-fourth Of
the population Of New York city are
subjects of charity! This last winter
women disguised themselves in mems
clothing and sought work on the streets
Of New York in shoveling snow, and
when discharged by the foreman when
their sex was discovered, they cried bit,
terly and begged to be allowed to re-
main and work, declaring their families
we're starving. In Cincinnati over T.
900 persons applied for aid in Decem-
Der and January. In Nashville, Tenn,
children are working in cotton factories
for FIVE cents day Of twelve or thirteen
hours. One child received ifty-fve
cents for three weeks work, and one
family one Of eight workers average
scarcely $50 a month. Talk of McKin-
ley prosperity! In Ohio-McKinley's
home-the head center of prosperity,
there are $3.50 people being fed by
charity. ''No longer the man hunts
the job, but the job now hunts the
man, is sentence coined by McKin-
ley, and yetin the face of it the Wash
ington Post recently contained an ap-
peal in behalf Of discharged volunteers
of the District regiment now out of
employment and destitute. This, un-
der the shadow of the dome of the ma
tion's capital-at the portals Of the
White House! Prosperity of this kind
is found all around the country, but it
is Of a kind that requires great deal
Of nursing by the followers Of McKin-

A NATIONAL PARK FOR WEST.
ERN NOR CAROLINA.

For quite awhile q number of public
spirited North Carolians have been
preaching in season and out of eason
that the United States Government
should establish q National Park in
Western North Carolina. We are glad
to note the rapid progress Of this praise
worthy movement. The meeting held
in Asheville last week, which resulted
In the organization Of the Appalachian
National Park Association, was at
tended by many of the leading men of
this and other States. And in the real
work of the body there was &c division
of opinion. The Association begins
work with the earnestness and vigor
that usually bring success. Some Of
the reasons for desiring the park are
given by Senator Butler as follows:
"rhere is no scenery in the Appala
CHAN chain that approaches in gran
deur and beauty the ranges Of noun
tains in Western North Carolina. The
geographical location Of the proposed
park is a strong argument in it's favor.
TIE Yello Wstone Park is across the
continent, away from railroads, and
very few people ever see it. The coun.
Try supports this parz, and there is no
reason why it shou!d not support one
in the East. There is no ques; ion as to
the superiority of North Carolina for
the park, because there ia no mountain
scenery east of the Rockies that com
pare to that of Western North Caro-
lima. Outside of the gey s 'rs aud the
grand canons Yellowstone Park has no
surprising attractions. Once you have
seen these you never care to see them
again. Except for the geysers and
canon the scenery in the mountains
OF this State surpass the Yellowstone
Park in every respect. The scenery
In Western Carolina grows on a per
son. 1t has such a fascination that if
you once visit these you will come
again. Its geographical location makes
it convenient for the greatest amount
OF the country's population.
There is but n objection that
cauld be raised, and that is the q1es-
tion of money. What will be the costN
Suppose the government Rhould buy
400. 900 or $50, 600 acres of land; sup
pose a COMMITTEES is Sent down to look
over the ground, and suppose you find
that you have to pay five or six dollars
an acre for the land, what would it
cost then7 Why, a beggarly two mil
lion dollars, for a great government
like this; less money than we put in a
little cruiser, which may be wrecked
in q few minutes, like the Charleston"
