ROUSS TO IMPROVE HIS STORE
Charles Broadway Rouss, the mil
lionaIre Nirglnian, will soon begin
improvements on his large Broadway
store property, in New y Ork, which
will cost several hundred thousand
dollars. He has purchased from
VIM. Waldorf Astor the building at
555 Broad way, on "A lot 25xl0O feet,
running through to Mercer street,
and adjoining his store. He pays
for the property nearly 100000.
The late John Jacob Aston acquired
this plot in 1884 for $l5O,OOO and
erected on it five story store and
loft building. Mr.. Rouss has long
felt the necessity of additional room
for his immense business transaction.
The large ten story building he now
occupies has two stories beneath the
surface, and be also uses two large
warehouses. Yet he is cramped for
room, but will be able to accommo-
date the increasing demands for
space by improving the property re
Gently acquired. Mr. Rouss has pur-
chased several lots In West End and
Madison avenues and West One Hun
dred and Thirty sixth street, valued
at $500. 900. giving in exchange, at a
valuation of S7l 900, theatre in AL -
toona, Pa, and forty lots in Yonkers

In his zeal for the acquisition of
the Philippine islands General Mer-
rift is quoted as saying, ave have
outgrown the constitution" 1t is
such remarks as this from our mil
itary leaders that cause the people to
feel distrustful of making provision
for large standing army, indepen-
dent of the considerations they may
entertain about being taxed for such
an establishment. The soldier who
recognizes his proper position before
the law will not indulge in flippant
comments upon the instrument under
which he has been clothed with hon
or and power. The radical change
from the policy of the Monroe doc
trine, which means dissertation of
American from European politics and
complications, to one of seizing lands
on the edge of Eastern and European
interests and thereby thrusting Amer
lean interests into the cauldron of
foreign Diplomacy, is calculated to
breed sentiments like the one advanc-
ed by Gen. Merritt.

How TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA
You are perhaps aware that pneumo
MIA always results from cold or from
an attack of la grippe. During the
epidemic of la grippe few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the at
tack was never followed by that di-
sease when Chamberlain Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of a cold or la grippe
to result in that dangerous disease.
1t is the best remedy in the world for
bad colds and la grippe. Every bot
tie warranted. For sale by w. Rich

Congressman Rixey, of this State.
has introduced a bill providing for
the opening of soldiers homes to dis
abled Confederate as well as Union
soldiers. The proposition is one that
will find but slim support among
Confederate veterans. To such of
them as might be forced by their in-
digent circumstances to enter these
homes the situation in time would
grow very trying. Men who fought
for different ideas NAV meet and fra
ternize for a short while around the
festive board, or impart to each other
reasonable amount of their expe-
rience in warfare on opposing sides
by guarding against warm express
sions, but it would be impossible to
live together day after day without
this necessary guard over speech get
ting off of duty, and bitterness would
follow. We hope the Southern peo-
pie will never find it in their hearts
to permit a disabled Confederate to
spend his remaining years in home
built for Union soldiers. The war
worn veteran who wore the gray re-
duced to this alternative would feel
like entering a challenge as to wheth-
er the land for which he had faced
the perilous edge of battle was
worthy of the devotion and heroism
he had shown in its behalf
If the Northern people want to as
sist the South in taking care of her
civil war veterans, they should build
a home exclusively for them in the
land they love, or donate to the States
a certain sum for their care. But
before this step is taken the L. S.
pension rolls onght to be purged of
the name of persons who are unnec-
essarily and unworthily enjoying the
nations bounty, so that the support
mentioned may not call for an addi-
tional expenditure of money by the
government.

Castellanos shed tears on leaving the
palace occupied as official headquar-

Senator Marion Butler, republican
of North Carolina, introduced a bill
to pension Confederate soldiers. The
Senator may be serious in this matter,
but it will be hard to persuade the
residue of the people of this country
that he is. After crying out against
the burden of taxation OF our pension
laws, the South will not be bribed to
silence by proposition of this char

A petition opposing the annexation
of the Philippines was presented to
us some ten days or more ago for our
signature, but we did not sign it be-
cause we think the treaty of peace
signed at Paris by the Spanish and
American ommissioners, if il is our
wish that the war incident between
the two countries should be closed,
ought to be ratified by our govern
ment. That treaty gives to us the
control of the Philippines, and their
acquisition is no longer an open ques-
ton. But, if petition is presented
to us after the treaty is ratified, ask
ing US to endorse a measure looking
to the sale of the islands or granting
to the Filipinos independence, We
would sign it. We are opposed to
the expansion policy of the present
administration, and trust that Con-
gress will reach the conclusion that
it Is better for it to devote it's best
efforts to bringing about good gov
eminent for the country we ALREADY
possess than to be acquiring remote
islands for the exploitation of the
practices of the carpetbag element in
our political system.

Carpetbagism, from which the
South suffered so terribly in recon
struction days, received a shot the
other day from one who was no doubt
a supporter of the system when it
was in force. Senator Frye. who was
one of the American commissioners
that assisted in arranging the treaty
terms with spain, is reported as hav
ing said, while defending the forci-
bic acquisition of the Philippine Is
lands, that their government would
not be as expensive as some persons
thought, if we did not place carpet
baggers" over them. We are glad TO
see the system fired at uy so staunch
a republican as Senator Frye. Pres
ident Mckinley was no doubt deterr
ed from interfering with the political
affairs in North Carolina during last
falls election by lively recollection
of the evils of carpetbagism, which
fattens upon Federal meddling with
State affairs.

From the accounts published in
the papers the so-called Afro-Ameri-
can Council, which assem- bled in
Washington last week was turbu-
lent affair, the chairman being COM
PEELED, owing to the disorder prevail
ing, to adjourn the meeting on two
occasions without any motion being
made to that effect. The members
of the council denounced the Presi-
dent Of the United States. Bishop
Grant, of Penna., said, among other
things, "we ask no odds from any
one and we are as white inside as any
one In the world" Another remark
ed, "the President is too busy look
ing after the Confederates to bother
about the negro" In answer to the
statement that the negro had been
given the ballot too soon, a Philadel-
phia delegate pronounced it "the
moot damnable heresy and the worst
setback the negro had received since
the war" An eyewitness observed
that "the brethren rolled in ecstasy
as they listened to the speakers who
battle axed the white trash" The
council adopted lengthy address,
and committee waited upon the
President and asked him to use his
good offices to bring lynchers of col
ored persons In the South to justice.
