Bailey and Wheeler.

Congressman Bailey, of Texas, who
was constituted the leader of the mi
nority party in the Congress that
closed It's career last Saturday. an
nounced last Friday that he would
not be a candidate for leadership of
the democratic party in the next
Congress. He reached this decision
after majority of the democrats re-
fused to vote to take up for consid-
GRAFTON a report of the judiciary COM
mittee which declared that General
Wheeler and other members who &C
cepted army commissions had there
10y vacated their seats. Mr.. Bailey
says he wants 1t distinctly understood
that lie is not actuated by a feeling
of pique or personal disappointment,
but as large number of democrats
are unwilling to yield obedience to "A
plain provision of the constitution,
and as be intends to adhere to and
would insist at all times that its pro-
visions be upheld, it was better he
thought for the democrats to have
an other leader.
Mr.. Bailey is brilliant. but like
some other men thus equipped is de
ficient in tact. The reason why so
large a portion of the democrats re
fused 10 consider the report affecting
Gen. Wheeler was because of its par
tisan character. There were good
many Representatives and Senators
holding civil appointments, nearly all
of whom were by republicans,
and since the committees report was
too partisan to dist" RIO the seats of
the latter class, the democrats did
not feel like disturbing Gen. Wheeler
and the few with him who had vol
unteered TO serve in the Spanish
American war. There were three
Senators on the commission that
made the treaty with Spain, and ali
of them voted to have their work
ratified. Had they not voted the
treaty would have failed Is Gen.
Wheeler's position any more objec
tionable to the spirit of the consttu
ton than that of these Senators?
1t is but just to Gen. Wheeler to
say that he has not drawn any por-
ton of his salary as a representative
since he has been holding the com
mission of major general. There
was Federal major general in Con
gress entitled to pension for losing
a leg-we hope he was as considerate
about that pension fund as was Gen.
Wheeler of his pay as a Congress
man.

POWDER FROM CORN STALKS

POWDER FROM CORN STALKs.-A
dispatch from Pennsgrove, N. j.,
says; For several weeks experts in the
employ of the government have been
busy at the DUPONT Corney's Point
powder works experimenting on
smokeless powder. One of the diff
cultles which has beset the manufac-
ture OF this modern product is that
1t cannot be made absolutely smoke
less; another Is that it losses small
percentage Of strength through stor-
age. The experiments included the
use of cornstaik pith, and, it is said,
proved so satisfactory that cotton
may be ultlmately abandoned as "a
base of the smokeless powder, because
it cannot be ground fine enough.
Should this be true new source of
revenue will be opened up for the
farmers, as thousands of acres of
cornstalks are allowed to go to rot
every year.

Death of Ex-Gov. Mckinney.

Tx Governor p. VI. Mckinney died
at his home in Farmviile last Wed
nesday night.
He was governor of this State from
January LIST, 1890, TO January LIST,
1894, one of the most important pc
RODS in its history. During his ad
ministration the debt question was
settled upon basis which the cred
itors accepted. The legislature
enacted during those four years I'M
portant legislation touching the ovs-
ter industry. The present law pro
vIding for the lease of the oyster
lands of the Commonwealth was sug-
gested bv the deceased.
Governor Mckinney was one of
the most conservative executives this
State has had since the close of the
war. 1t is possible he did not make
himself as popular with society peo-
pie as many of his predecessors or as
some of those who succeeded him.
but he was regarded as "a typical
chief magistrate, who looked care
fully after the business interests of
the State and let social matters take
care of themselves. He had no de-.
sire to parade himself in public. and.
therefore, accepted but few invita-
tons to preside over public assem-
blies or address gatherings in differ.
ent parts of the country. Never dur
ing the four years that Mr. McKin-
new was in the gnbernatoria mansion

"You people of the United States

of the worlds burdens"
The Philippines will furnish new
careers for your young men. The

broaden your national character.
The ultimate work of the United
States will be to govern South Amer
lea. You probably will begin with
Mexico. acquire the Central Ameri-
can States, then those of the cont

hold all the country to the south of
you.
cit is the duty of civilized nations
to take charge of the barbarians and
give them a white mans government.
The United States are one of the
great powers, and cannot escape this
duty.
al do not believe the United States
will ever withdraw its authority from
Cuba.

Spain has been evicted from her col

en- possession most busineSslike.
