Boushall for State Treasurer.
(E. City Economist.)

There is a multitude of applicants for
the place of Treasurer before the Demo-
cratic convention that meets in Raleigh
on the 18th OF April. We have weighed
the candidates in the balance to make up
an opinion by which we could abide
with coustancy. and our deliberate con-
clusion is that Mr.. j. ID. Boushall, ma
tive Of Camden county. and now a citi-
zen of Wake county. would make the
most available candidate for the place.
and that he would bring to the RESPONSE
Bile position an equipment of qualitica-
tions that few men in North Carolina
possess. He is IA young man of de-
cidcd talent. His life has made him IA
miliar with public and financial affairs,
and he is Il conscientious Christian. up
right man. He has been before the pco-
pie of Wake county and has won their
Notes when the die hung in the balance.
He served them as their representative
in the lower house of the General As
Smbly with eminent usefulness and abili-
ty.
In addition to all this he commends
himself to us as native of our section,

and other things being equal. it is our
duty and our interest 10 stard by our

We have known Joe Boushall from his
hoyhood. He was boy of promise and
was useful to the Economist as an agent
and canvasser in the early days of its
struggle. We are for North Carolina

sons. We believe that Mr.. j. ID. Boushall
will command more votes in Camden,

MEN EAGER TO SHOVEL SNOW.

N. Y. Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Five thousand men watched the falling snow today and prayed that 1t might regis ter at least three inches deep in New Yorks streets by tomorrow. It means work for them, and work is not to be despised at this season of the year. There are many luckless individuals who seem to have been ignored in this prosperity deal, and re- spectable descent of 'the beautiful means bread and butter to them. When snow ap- peared this afternoon the street commis- sioners ordered up brooms and shovels for 5000 men and prepared to employ that num- Der at $2 per day. This evening, however, there were scant indications that any snow shovelers would be kept busy tomorrow. There was as great a scramble for places as for Tammany district leadership. Es- pecially in the Eastside districts more vol unteers appeared than could be used.

HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Mark Hanna Does Not Explain.

Senator Mark Hanna is fast becoming a debater who consumes time as well as at tention, for his speech in favor of his pet subsidy bill was three hours long, and the Associated Press assures us that 1t was 'forcible and intense" at all times. In tonsity of three hours duration is some thing quite remarkable, but Mark is a re- markable statesman.
 It does not appear, however, that the great Ohio statesman found time in the three hours consumed by him to explain the statement made by James J. Hill, pres ident of the Great Northern Railroad Com two himself. He said:
 We can build ships in this country as well and as cheaply as they can be built any where in the world Now, I had figures within the last year furnished from the best builders on the Clyde, and figures from as good builders as there are in this country, and to my utter amazement the American fgurees on a single ship were fSOO0O to 100000 under the best Clyde builders, and when We get the ship subsidy that is promised see how happy we shall be. Uaughter).
 Senator Frye opened the debate on the pending bill In a long and exhaustive speech, and in the course of it he said:
 Now. is the committee correct in it's statement that it costs more to build and more to operate an American ship than it costs our commercial rivals to build and operate theirs? If the committee is mis- taken in that respect, then the foundation of this bill falls through. If the committee is correct, then any Senator can see that we never will run American ships on the oceans against foreign ships until there is legislation which will equalize the differ ence.
 And why should not iron ships be built cheaper here? Iron and steel and lumber and fuel are alLcheaper here than they are elsewhere in the world. Labor alone is higher, but the increased price of labor will not outrun the decreased prices of all ma terials that go into a ship. Nor is it to be doubted that an American ship can be op- erated as cheaply as foreign ship, for fuel is cheaper here and so are provisions and oils. We have not the exact figures at hand but it is not to be doubted that the difference is not against us.
 The truth is. the subsidy bill is another steal of the robber tariff sort, and that is all there is of it. Like MT. Hill, hundred or so campaign subscribers want larger dividends, and they have put up the job to get the increase from the pockets of the people.

THE CUBAN DANGER.

Havana Letter in New York Evening Post.
 What would be the result" asked prominent Cuban, "of turning Cuba over to the leaders of this convention?'
 There would not be a building left in Havana in two months time," he replied The remark was of course, a wild extraya- gance, but 1t indicates far from common apprehension. There are good men in that convention, but they are a submerged mil nority. Onesstill hears the old story of "going to the woods again if this rabidly anti-American element does not get what it wants when it wants it. It is very doubt full if enough followers could be found for that element to keep the Seventh Cavalry busy for more than few days. The man of the country has had enough of war. What he now wants is ease and good gov ernment. It is my opinion that he does not yet know just what kind of government he wants. His leaders, for purposes of their own may desire an immediate control or island affairs. The real Cuban, el hijo del pals, is yet to be distinctly heard from.

John Alexander Dowie The esteemed Leaves of Healing" contains under the title line, Mailing Down Lies of 1he Pulpit and Press" picture of classic but exceedingly beautiful young woman en- gagged in mailing down lies A list follows of papers numbering one hundred more or less. The Age-Herald is one of the one hundred more or less.

Beauty even ill Grecian tog geIy is not to be treated lightly, and we tcn has not good grounds of accusation against us At any rate, whatever she wants she shall have, and no questions asked.

SAM SMALL'S NEW LINE.

New Lork Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Capt Sam Small of Georgia, formerly an evangelist, and now holding a contract to furnish books to the Cuban and Porto Rican schools. arrived on the steamship Mexico today. A few years ago he was a much talked-of character, excessively be- ing a revivalist, temperance lecturer, col lege president and politician, but this mo- toriety has waned considerably in recent years During the Spanish war he was chaplain and captain of the Third En- gineers and was also on the staff of Gen. eral Bates at Cienfuegos. He expressed the opinion today that the recent visit of the Cuban school teachers to the United States did not benefit them, the only result being to make them dissatisfied with conditions in Cuba, as the methods and system of the United States cannot be applied to that island.

From the Washington Post
 A number of prominent men in Congress and otherwise in public life were gathered al Chamberlain's last evening. and the con- versation turned to the ups and downs of politics. In the party were Private John Allen of Mississippi and Senator Shoup of Idaho, both of whom have just concluded unsuccessful Senatorial vanvasses of their respective states.
 What's the matter down in Mississippi and out in Idaho?' some one asked Repre- sentative Allen. that two such brilliant men as you and Shoup do not seem to be wanted in the Senate?''
 "Wen, now" drawled the Mississippian of famous wit, Idaho is a long way a5. and I can't tell you much about why Shoup got left but can tell you about Mississp- pi; know all about it.' Then, in a con- fidential whisper and with an air of in.- parting some startling secret, he added, Mississippi isn't sending her best men to the Senate this year."

School Progress in Alabama.

The Age-Herald has never advocated a larger appropriation by the State for pub lie schools. It was a magnificent sum as it stood, when the wealth and income of the State are taken into consideration; and now the Legislature has added S1O0OOO to it. course sadly needed, and the aggregate will do a world of good provided the in- competent county superintendents are weeded out; and the vicious and humiliat- ing ''pay" schools abolished.
 Whore the pay" school exists thsre can be no free school for the child of any self respecting parent who is unable to pay school fees. The "pay' school belongs to primitive Alabama and the State has out grown it.
 Instead of increasing the State appro- priation until it trenches upon the States resources. the better policy would consist in keeping 1t within reasonable limits, and then permit any community so desiring to supplement it with local taxation. All ad- vanced and progressive states do this, and when Alabama says to a community be it big or small that 1t shall not expend its money for better schools, she not only acts to her own Injury, but she violates prin- l ciple of free government
