PATRICK HOLDS THE ROAD
The A. & n. e. Presidency De
cided i'm Favor of the Re-
publicans

Raleigh News and Observer.
The Supreme court will adjourn
to-day.
Three more opinions are to be
filed this morning, then the spring
term $500 of the Supreme court
of North Carolina will pass into
history.
In one respect it has been a very
remarkable term. A greater num-
Der of political cases than has ever
before been known in a similar
length of time have been tried and
decided.
All these cases involved title to
Office, and arose from attempts of
the last Legislature to either e.bol-
ish the Office or to elect q new offs
fcer.
The first of these cases was that
Of the States Prison VS.. W. H.
Day. 1t was decided IN favor of
Day.
This decision was rendered
about a month ago, and then the
court stopped until yesterday
when it handed down an even half
dozen decisions in ofice.contest
cases.
They are as follows:
Wilson VS.. Jordon, from Bun
conbe, decided in favor Of plain
tiff. This suit was for the Office
of clerk of TIE Criminal court Of
Buncombe county. Wilson is the
old Republican clerk.
Cunningham VS.. Sprinkle, af-
frmed. This is the case of the
new Agricultural Board against
the old one. The new one wins.
Cherry vs.. Burns, affirmed.
Contest for the Office of Keeper of
the Capitol. Cherry was elected
by the last Legislature. He gets
the Office.
Capital Printing Co, vs.. Hoey,
no error. The Capital Printing
Company is the Barneses, who
were Public Printers during the
past two years. They lose.
Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad Company VS.. Dortch, re-
versed. The old board of direc-
tors (Republican) will servo out
their term.
Bryan VS.. Patrick, reversed.
Patrick is the Republican presi-
dent of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad. He will stay
in till his term expires in Septem-
Der.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYBUr OF FIGS, manufactured 5y the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect Strengthening 1axa-
Give, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUp
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

The Samoan Affair.

The difficulty in obtaining unbiased
information from far-off Samoa has
caused the public to refrain from form
ing positive opinions regarding the
uuarrels of petty COnsulS which have
threatened at times to plunge two or
three nations into bitter war. While
the "antfs" have been too bu5ily en-
gagged with the affairs at Manila to
pay much attention to Samoa many
persons have all along been impressed
with the idea that there may have been
two sides to the question at Apia. The
widow of Robert Louis Stevenson, the
novelist. who resided on the South sea
islands, has written a letter to the
Westminster Gazette, which seems TO
throw new light on the situation. Mrs
Stevenson has no interest in the strug-
gle one way or another and is prompt
ed only by instincts of humanity. Her
statement. therefore, will be read with
interest as one given from an unbiased
standpoint.
Mrs. Stevenson says: president
Mckinley allowed no firing on Cuban
N'NhH NAiA'S9 N'A'N saw b'NlN' NduSt
of offepse, and Commodore Watson
was ordered not to attack undefended
Spanish cities. Does the president
keep his humanity for civilized coun-
tries alone?' Mrs. Stevenson declares
that the Samoan villages are inhabited
in time OF war by -combatants, who
have to choose between the shells Of
the warships and taking to the bush"
Under such conditions, she says, deli
cate women can hardly exist. while
children die like fees, Mrs. Steven
on's letter concludes: "Chief Justice

The Drug Habit.

ton, jr.. by an overdose of morphine
taken with the hope of allaying pain,
is another example of the appalling ef-
feet of contracting the drug habit. The

,Base Ball Once More.

Yesterdays generous attendance at
Athletic park shows that the amuse-
ment-loving Scranton public is ready
for another season of base ball At the
outset it may be well to indicate the
kind of ball playing that Scrantonians
will patronize
Men paid good salaries to perform
before the public are expected to keep
in condition. Absolute uniformity in
form may not be possible and is not
demanded. but those who pay to see
ball playing have a right to see good
hard, earnest work, from the start OF
each game to its finish. The player
who shirks, who dissipates or who in
trigues against his companions will
this year be marked man. Players
who do their best, who "go for every
thing" within their territory and put
vim and snap into their movements
will be appreciated, regardless OF er-
rors. Errors, when costly, are moment
arly exasperating and audiences have
a habit of passing quick comment upon
them. but honest playing survives. The
day of taking on the diamond has
passed.
Scrantonans of the ball crank vari-
ETY. are well pleased with the team now
bearing the city's name. They are ar
attractive looking lot of athletes anc
they have made good beginning. BY
keeping the foregoing facts in mine
they can finish the season with salaries
all paid and money to spare in the
treasury of the stockholders.

The Protestant Episcopal church, to
which Rev. DR.. G. A. Briggs has flown
since he became restive under the re-
straints of Presbyterian doctrine,
seems scarcely less disposed to ordain
as shepherd of the flock one who is
not willing to lead the sheep along
well-beaten paths than were the fol-
lowers of Calvin and Knox. In dea-
cons orders, DR.. Briggs is not an au-
thorized teacher of the church. 1t is
possible that Bishop Potter, whatever
may be his personal inclinatons ana
however firm may be the pressure of
prominent churchmen who favor DR..
Briggs. will scarcely provoke an open
conflict at the altar by persisting in
the ordination. The opposition as
serts that strenuous protest will be
offered during the service which, ac-
cording to the ritual, must be heard,
if an attempt shall be made to fC:cc
the issue to that point.
Whatever may be the personal belief
in DR.. Briggs soundness of theology
or the propriety of giving him full au.
thority as recognized priest and
teacher in the Episcopal church, there
remains a significant truth at the basis
of all the argument for and against the
higher criticism and that Is
that with laXity of churchly
discipline, Of pronounced OlthoGOy
belief, comes herd of evils
| in which laXity of morals is pre-emi-
nent. In no sense is it intimated by
this statement that the honest doubter,
| the sincere agnostiC, the thinker who
finds it hard to reconcile his personal
| views with modern Creeds, is prone to
| be lax in his morals. But it is held
| that the teaching which tends to an
| unsettling of the average mind to the
| disturbance of the religious traditions
| of the masses is an Ominous influence
| whose effect is toward the demorali:-
! alton of pure social conditions ana the
security of the best interests in the
| community.
| 1t is doubtful if DR.. Briggs in the
extreme of his so-called advanced
thought" can find a place as exponent
| Of any orthodox faith now eXistcn;
in the Christian church. His brl-
liant intellect and his accomplishments
in many directions may receive thcii
| full recognition, but he should nor de
mand that any church send him foItl
to teach in its name what is not found
in its doctrines and what !s, in ONE
particulars, directly opposed to its
clearly cherished creed The churc
which firmly lifts a dgnified barriel
against such an innovation IS simply
acting according to the most sensible
philosophy for, if a church or a cree;
is worth anything, it is able amply L
sustain its position along The lines al
ready established which have as thei
beginning not unrest, but the peace ant
welfare and satisfaction Of believers.
