or any other man been president
| Nevertheless to the man who does, and
not to the man who might have done
is credit to be given.
We do believe, however, that the ma
ton was in much better condition to
undertake wan, on account of the re.
publican victory at the polls when Nc
Kinley was elected. Believing as we
do that the carrying out of the free sill
yer idea would have brought wide
spread ruin and disaster to our indus
tries and our people we cannot but re-
jOice, that the confidence restored by
Mckinley IS election had placed the ma
ton Oh such high plane of prosperity
that we we're able to meet the condi.
tions of war with a full treasury and
with hopeful, prosperous nation be-
hind it.
After the war the nation returned to
normal and the normal condition seems
to be that of faultfnding. We confess
that jealousies between army and naval
officers, their heated language, their
mutual abuse has been sickening to a
degree. We do not doubt but that in
the hurried preparations for war.
numerous grievous mistakes were
made. We shall not be surprised to
learn that some INSCRIPTIONS contract
ors acted dishonesty. or that among
the vast number of men employed by
the government there are some rogues.
To our mind the blame for these blum
ders and dishonesties dates farther
back than the present war. 1t rests
largely upon those men who in former
congresses opposed every appropriation
looking toward making our nation pre-
pared for the contingencies of war.
Every business man knows that he
must have enough clerks in his store
based not on the dullest day of the
week but on the busiest one. BY the par
simOniOus conduct of former congresses
in making but scant allowance even
for conditions of peace, there were
no adequate arms, no sufficient supply
of ammunition or clothing or supplies,
and to furnish them on the spur of the
moment undoubtedly cost the govern
ment many millions of dollars and left
the door open to the INSCRIPTIONS and
the avaricious. The last session of
congress has been largely taken up with
tue discussion of the policy in regard
to the Philippines, the army bill, and
the necessary appropriations.
The peace treaty was ratified by the
senate after a bitter fight. The delay
in the ratification is in our opinion the
cause of the present hostilities IN the
Philippines. One of the bitter oppon-
ents of the treaty was Senator Mason
of Illinois. the very man who tried to
force war months before the nation
was at all prepared, and whose opinion
has therefor been very largely discount
ed by the people of the nation.

The army bill was passed after an
other hard fight. 1t provides for the
maintenance of an army OF 1OO. 600 mer
until July 1901 We believe before
that time the people will see the
obvious necessity of maintaining q
larger army than we have had hitherto
and this whether we retain the Philip
pine islands or not.
Congress was called upon to expend
large amounts of money and we doubt
not that among the vast number of ap-
preparation bills passed there were
some which could have been omitted
without any injury to the public SER
vice. AS whole, however, the appro-
priations were not extravaganza and the
money dispersed throughout the coun-
try will do much good. The most re-
markable thing about the recent con-
gress is then the absence of partisan
questions, for although the democratic
party followed its usual course of op-
position to anything and everything,
the.e were no partisan questions in.
volved upon which either the people, or
party platforms had expressed opinions.
During the two years of the McKin-
ley administration, our county has al
most returned to the unparalleled lros-
perity of 1882 when Harrison was at the
helm. 1t is strange coincidence that
republican administrations and good
times are SO nearly Synonymous. Our
democratic friends bring forward many
natural reasons for this and they are in
a great degree right. All the republic
can party claims to do is to make gov
ernmental conditions such that the peo-
pie may be able to take advantage of
every favorable natural condition and
make the most of it. 1t is not for napy
years that conditions have been SO full
OF hopefulness and promise. We hear
no more of idle manufactures and
empty dinner pals. There is work fer
every able bodied, able minded man.

publican party and the republican con-
gress do not claim to have created
short crops in Europe or a famine in
India. but it does claim that it provid-
60 such good and stable currency that

the rent from the orchard and farm.
~. III. Mashburn says, he lived at
Old Fort and moved near Round Knob
and for several years ran an engine by
Round Knob every day. until he became
Il druggist few months since. He says
that the orchard yielded nothing last
year, and seventy bushels the year be-
fore, according TO the report of Otho
Wilson's SON. Who is mistaken?
IF the hotel is so valuable, why
was not it valuable from 1890 TO 1893
when Musettc leased it? The evidence
of o. II. Blocker. that il. was unoccu-
pied for that length of time, is not
contradicted.
THE MORTGAGE TO COL. AN

1T is not denied that

and manager for North Carolina of the
Southern Railway Company.
'2nd. That Maj Wilson mortgaged
two tracts of land in Burke county to
secure Col. Andrews as security ON n
note in the Citizens National Bank OF
Raleigh.
The Supreme Court held in Mcleod
VS.. Billiard, 81 \. G. $50. that. whore
mortgagor conveys TO the mortgage
the mortgaged premises, there is n
presumption of fraud, because the mort
gagor is considered as acting under con-
straint. If Maj. Wilson had conveyed
to Andrews the mortgaged premises,
the law would have pronounced the con-
veyance of no force and VOID, because
of the influence OF Andrews over him.
When worthless share of stock is
expressly declared to be a disqualifying
interest, will it be said that the law did
not authorize the Governor to consider
this relation as a disqualification?

such as gave rise to all contracts, and il
| Maj. Wilson procured lessee by re-
peating that promise. an action could

| Mai. Wilson in his letter to the Cover
nor, that the superintendent had sent

IOTHO WILSON'S FREIGHT BILL.
1.-THE application for rate for 5
Ohio Wilson was a solicitation TO dis
criminate, and violation of the law.
While the authorities concurred in the
view that it is not unlawful to accept
| a favor which amounts to unlawful
discrimination on the part of the car
rier, a person who solicits and induces
! the carrier to violate the law is like
all others who procure the commission
of misdemeanors, indictable as IA point
principal.
| THE favor was asked on the official
| paper of the Commission. 1t was
treated by Mr.. Munson as an official
request. The order of III. S. Smith,
Division Freight Agent, was to ID. 2,
/ if Maj. Wilson desided it. The request
/ for low rate was granted because
Chairman Wilson asked it, not because
of any information that S. Ohio Wilson
was summer tourist. What is there
in the letter to inform the Division
| Agent that Mr.. Ohio Wilson would
start on summer tour as early as
April? How did Smith, who made the
order, know that he was not moving to
the mountains TO take up his permanent
abode? There is nothing between the
| lines, nor anything in the lines TO indi-
cate any other purpose. 1t was Mr.. ).
Ohio. and not Mr.. j. w. Wilson, who
objected to ID. H. and asked for a
/ half rate.

move the disqualification? If the prop

A Smart Young Trader.

There was once a worthy Presby-
terian minister, who, while sitting in
his study, was interrupted by a small
boy who had by some way or other
gained admission, to sell the good
man some young pups.
Il don't want any dogs, my boy,
said the divine.
"But they are Presbyterian pups,
persisted the youngster.
The old gentleman, however, would
not have them and the disappointed
boy withdrew.
Some days afterward while visit
ing friend who was a Universalist,
the minister was astonished to see
the same boy come in and offer to
sell his friend some pups.
"Good Universalist pups" said the
chap.
This was too much for the Domi-
ME, who said to the boy:
Are you not the same boy that
tried to sell me these pups the other
day."
"Yes sir"
"And did you not tell me then that
they were Presbyterian pups?'
Yes sir
"Then how can they be Universe
list pups, now7"
because they have Lad their eyes
opened since then," said the little
chap. 1t is needless to add that he
sold the pups.

Wouldn't Find Any.

A few weeks ago, a jockey, anatiVe
of Erin's Isle, was called as witness
iu trial, and the opposing counsel
was doing all be could to invalidate
his testimony.
"What are you?" he began in a
bullying tone.
"Sure, I'm a jockey, same as. my
father was before me- was the re-
ply.
"Ab!" said the lawyer, thrusting
his hands into his pockets and pre-
pairing to enjoy himself hugely with
this witness, "and I suppose your
father did little cheating in his
time, like the rest Of the fraternity"
"Troth, and 1 s'pose be did, now
and thin,' was the reply.
"And where do you suppose he is
poN?'
I'm Heaven, I hcpa-rest his sowl.
"And what should such fellows as
Jockeys do there, I should like to
know" inquired the lawyer, in a
voice Of thunder.
! Paddy scratched his head. Then,
with a sly grin, be replied:
Train horses for the angels, per
haps."
"And cheat them as they did their
| fellow mortals?"
Maybe so," replied the jockey,
still unabasEed,
/ al. they would be prosecuted
the1!" exclaimed the lawyer triumph
antly.
"Sorra a Bit answered the wit
ness.
And Why"
because they might search Heav-
en- over and over again, and a devil
of q lawyer would they find there"
A shout of laughter hailed this re-
tort, which the court could not su. .
press.
You can step down, fellow, said
the lawyer, growing as red as a
peony; and it was noticed that dur
ing the remainder of the case that
his cross examination was not scarce
ly so keen as usual. .. .
