BOLTING WAS REBUKED.
Committee Decides With The
Regular Democratic Or
CARNATIONS.
Newaand Observer

Raleigh Newsstand Observer
MI. Josephus Daniels, of Ra-
leigh, member from North Caro-
lima of the National Dem ucratlc
Executive Committee, returned
yesterday morning from a meet
ing of the committee, which was
held in Chicago last week,
"Nearly. every State and ter
rfory was represented in the
meeting said Mr.. Daniels, and
sit was a harmonious and pro
ftahle session. It had been wide
" advertised that factlonal diff
erences in the party, coming
from Illinois, Kentucky and New
York, would expose such a di-
vision in the party as would
make every one see that the
Democrats we're hopelessly di-
vided. Instead Of these predic-
tions being verified it turned out
that the session of the commit
tee was free from differences as
to principles or issues and the
party more united and aggressive
than before in twenty years,
"The fight between the regu-
lar Democracy. led by Harrison.
and the Altgeld Democracy, was
not adjusted to the complete sat
fsfaction OF all of Altgeld's fol

them expressed their endorse

Fou1-Smel1ing
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difacult
to get rid Of.
There is but one way to cure it..
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cihc cures Oatarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach tbs
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr.. 3. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes

THE PASSING OF OTIS.
Philadelphia TIMES.

Nothing could be clearer than
the general character of the de-
mand for the recall of General
Otis. The country has lost faith in
him and he has forfeited the conf
dence of the soldiers that serve
unde- him. All the returning SOL
diers, whether volunteers or reg
ulars, tell the same story. No
American commanding officer,
even in the long wal for theUnion
ever before excited such general
{, condemnation from the. men under
his command as appears in the
news dispatches in the Times from
day to day in regard to the CAM
paign in the Philippines. The re-
turning volunteers and the reg
ulars invaded home all agree, to
quote some of the reports in yes
terday's Times, that Otis has
s'made a good failure of the war"
that he s'has by no mean a firm
grasp of the situation" and that
he s'has made a mess ofthe Phil
ippines campaign"
It may be true that OTIS has
not had men enough for the task
imposed upon him, but bad gen.
eralship has had more to do with
his failure. than insufficient
means, If he needed more men.
as PROFESSIONALLY was the case,
he should have asked for them
and insisted upon having them.
Instead he sent optimistic report
to the War Department pfos
claiming the progress he was
making and misleading the coun-
try into the belief that the war
with Aguinaldo would be ended
in a single campaign. When the
truth was learned it. was found
that the gallaltry and devotion
of Otis little army had been
wasted. 1t was not the subordi-
nate officers and men that had
failed, but the commanding gen.
eral. His incompetence is beyond
question and his recall is imper-
ative-so imperative that il
seems a long, time to wait foa
Secretary Root to take charge
of the War Department before
the announcement is made OF
Otis removal and the appoint
ment of his successor,
The passing Of Otis has a mel
Ancholy interest even for those
who are most strenuous in de-
handing his removal. He has
been all his life a soldier, He haC
obtained high rank in the army,
It was believed he had the abili
ty necessary to the important
command that was given him
Unfortunately he has disappoint
ed his own high hopes and the
confident expectations of the
country. Even his friends are
compelled to admit his u~nfitnes:

Sherman's Obituaries,

John Sherman is up and about. He
is entertaining himself by reading
what the newspapers said of him when
it was reported and generally believed
that he had died on board the Paris be-
tween Jamaica and Cuba. Very soon
after he was brought back to his home
in Washington, so helpless that he had
to be carried from the steamship in
chair. Mr.. Sherman was told about
the report of his death and it's very
general acceptance. He was much
amused. And now he is engaged in
reading the obituaries
1t may not be generally known that
Mr.. Sherman has the largest collection
of newspaper personal clippings that
any pubic man in this country posses
ses. He has scrap books that run back
between 30 and Az years. 1t has been
characteristic of him to save every
thing said concerning him, and these
scraps have been carefully pasted in
uniform books. The ex-Secretary is
one of the best patrons of newspaper
clipping bureaus. Before such agen-
cfes were established to gather from
newspapers the comments on public
men and their acts, Mr.. Sherman had
his own system of collection. He has
never excluded the articles of un-
friendly character. In fact, he seems
to take greater interest, if possible, in
the unfavorable criticisms published
upon him. He has done one thing that
probably no other public man can dup
licate. In Mr.. Sherman's library are
numerous books filled with newspaper
pictures of him. And these pictures
include the cartoons by the hundreds
which have appeared in daily and
weekly papers, going back to the great
controversy over resumption of specie
payments. Many OF the pictures of
Mr.. Sherman thus preserved would
never be identified as such without the
labels. Aside from personal interest,
these pictures illustrate in an interest
ing manner the preat progress made in
the art of newspaper portraiture.
Mr.. Sherman's collection of newspa-
per scraps about himself was great be-
fore he went on his trip to the West
Indies Now he will add to that collec-
ton very notable supplement, COM
posed of the obituary notices euloglstie

q New View of Appomattox.

Yesterday was rather a novel event
in the history of the country. Because
Sunday happened to be the anniver
sary of the surrender of Appomattox,
Monday was chosen by the veterans
who keep tab on the day to have a lit
tie friendly celebration in quiet way.
That has been the practice among the
Federal soldiers since the war closed.
Yesterday a new feature was introduc-
ed. All over the country the Federal
soldiers, bearing in mind the fratern-
ity that has developed since a foreign
foe has brought men from both sec
tions to the defense of the flag, invited
the one time Confederate soldiers to
Join in the informal exercises.
Appomattox has reached new place
in history. 1t is not necessary that the
name be marked off the pages. To do
that would be to confess that we are
not equal to the rememorance of those
things that are past. AppomattoX
will nenceforth be accepted as day of
importance to the whole country, for
it was there that the war disastrous
beyond precedent to both sides, ended.
Instead of recalling the field and the
date as of special interest because of
this triumph of the one army over the
other, all Americans may speak the
name with satisfaction, because it
marked the beginning of new era of
peace.
The North and the South are grad
ually becoming firmly. united again,
and more firmly than before the Re-
bellion. There i no occasion to grow
effusive over the new afinity. But it
is wise to join hands over the scars
meanwhile. and in the hand-clasp de-
termine that the terrible lesson, thor
oughly learned, need never be repeat

Babies Mixed.

Racine, w. Va, April 10.-At Orange
last Saturday births took place in two
families living in the Same house In
one case twins arrived, and single in
the other. The trio of newborn ba-
bies, dressed alike, were placed in one
bed to cause the father of the twins to
believe that his wife had given birth to
triplets. The joke worked nicely, but
when the time came to separate the
infants and restore them to their re-
spective mothers the difficulty of iden-
tity could not be solved by the women
in attendance, who suddenly became
shocked, hysterical and tainted. The
identity still remains unsolved.

there would not be SO many long
speeches in the future as there had
been In the past two years. He thinks
that the new Council is equal to any
that the city has had in the past, al
though no better, and that they will
work in unsion and will do themselves
and the city justice. He then stated
that as his election had not been un-

Window Boxes.

Editor Leader-In an article recent
ly contributed to your paper by the M.
/. A. was interested to see that the
ladies of that Association are urging
the use of window boxes as a means OF
identifying the residences, boarding
houses and hotels which have no space
for lawns or fower-beds. Our larger
cities woke to the possibilities of such
decorations some years ago. while in
England these boxes have become ex-
ceedingly popular. In village, town
and city one sees beneath the windows
the invariably fiourishing red, yellow
or white blossoms banked in green,
concentrating as much lovliness as
possible in the small space available.
These boxes cannot require much la
or or they would not be used so uni"
versally. OF course, the flowers must
be watered, out once they have begun
to flourish they require, very little at
tention. On very hot days when the
reflection from the, ,hodsehs intense, the
flowers sometimes .Ailt,iR they are
protected by newspapers.
We all know how unattractively
bare and sombre an aspect the busi-
mes portions of Front and Greene
streets present, and most Of us have
regarded this blank ugliness as neces-
sary and hopeless. One wishes that
both for the sake OF their own pleasure
and for that of the public, the many
families living over the stores on these
two streets might be brought
to realize how much a beauti-
ful window box can add to the beauty
of any building. Pansies, nasturtiums
verbenas, geraniums, petunias, phlox
and other hardy plants, cheap and cas-
lily obtainable, placed in strong wood
en- boxes just below or in the parlor
windows of these second story homes,
would very shortly transform those
busy thoroughfares.
One wishes, toe, that the proprietors
Of the st. Cloud and Bellevue would
follow the example exam Of the pretty Eng
tlsh inns, and decorate their second
story windows with pretty flower
boxes This would not mean money
thrown away, for. as all proprietors
know, there is a close and logical con
hection between a hotel with an at
tractive exterior and a larger patro-
mage '''-' "''' r.
