Mrs. Nation has left Kansas and
now the joints are easy. In Kan
sas the laws permit the destruction
of illegal property by officials. In
Kentucky it would not be this way
and Mrs. Nations effective work
in the destruction of Kentucky
property could only be on the
lecture platform. IF the manu-
facture Of whisky was forbidden,
and if all people were law-abiding
citizens, it would be better, but
whisky will be made and sold, and
men will use it to excess as long as
the world stands. Hence it is with
the better classes-the moral and
church people-to instruct and
legislate and the ministers TO warn.

War Of the Papers

Ii is not exactly war of the roses
that is on now in Detroit, but a war OF
the three evening papers published in
that city-the News, Journal and To-
Day-all three of which are now sold
for one penny copy. The Journal at
once followed the News and dropped its
price to one cent To Day was never
more than "a penny one popularity
about the situation is that To- Day claims
it forced both the News and the Journal
to drop, while the Journal contends that
its recent change Of ownership and con-
sequent improvement, have resulted in
a greatly increased circulation, thus
forcing the News to one cent in order 10
keep up with the procession To Day
is plucky and claims that to it belongs
the credit Of smashing the two. cent
agreement" Detroit may possibly be
sufficiently large TO make profitable
three evening penny papers, but 1t looks
like case of a survival of the fttest. 3"

Made Ma Angry,

A lady in Greenville, who is an expert
kodakist, delights in taking pictures
whenever she gets a good subject. Her
father was sitting on the porch one day
and having the kodak primed she took a
snap shot. BY and by the father went
into the house and the hired girl came
out with the dusting brush in her hand
and down in the chair she sat, while
her mistress look a snap shot of her.
When the picture was developed, il
showed the aged father, sitting in the
chair with the hired girl on his lap.
The lady kodakist had forgotten to
move the film and both pictures were
therefore taken on the same plate

Mr.. o. L. Joyner, writing in the

The eastern North Carolina markets
shape to some considerable extent
the controlling influence of the
bright tobacco output of the world,
for it is here that the finest cutters
and smokers T grown; our export
leaf is equal if not superior to that
grown any where on earth, and our
fancy lemon wrappers have never
been duplicated anywhere. There
were sold on the four largest easten
market in 1899 1900 upward of fifty
million pounds, and in addition to
this there were several smaller mar
kets not counted which would have
run the aggregate nearly up to the
enormous amount of sixty million
pounds. The low prices at which to-
bacco has sold for the last few years,
eliminating in 1899 with an ex
tremely low average, the crop last
year was very much reduced, and
the markets will experience a conse-
quent falling off in sales this year
yet they + in a healthy condition.

A WHITE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Beginning of a Movement to Establish One
in the Palmetto State.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 17.-Om-
cial announcement from Washing
ton to-day that John G. Capers had
been appointed United States Dis
trict Attorney for South Carolina is
accepted as the first Indication of
the plan for the organization of a
white Republican partyin this State.
Capers, the son of Bishop Ellison
Capers, of South Carolina, is ex-
pected to carry influence and add
dignity to the new Organiza-
ton.
He was appointed to an office in
Washington under the second Cleve-
land administration, but he re-
nOunced the Democratic faith and
went on the stump last year for Nc
Kinley. Senator McLaurin, who is
not looked upon as a Democrat by
the people of his own State, was in
strumental in having Capers ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. Lathrop,
whose term will not expire until
July.
Other appointments expected for
for this State will have McLaurin's
sanction and approval, and it is be-
lieved he will assist the administra-
ton to secure the services of former
Democrats for the more important
Federal Offices, who will act as the
foundation of the new party from
which the negroes will be eliminated.
The understanding in political circles
is that a clean sweep in the Repub-
liean ranks will be made and the
new party will be launched at once.
Senator Tillman will oppose the
confirmation of Capers' appointment,
and in doing so will measure strength
with McLaurin, now his rival in
Washington.

According to Representative YES
returned from an extended tour of
Cuba and Porto Rico, Cuba will be
in a state of revolution within ninety
days after the evacuation Of the
island by the United States forces,
and within three months this gov
eminent will be compelled to sub
due the uprising and establish a per-
manent protectorate. GOT course
we must turn the island over" he
says, "but it is a crime against hui
mainly to withdraw at this time.
When our troops leave the island
you will witness a reign of lawless-
ness which will startle the world

In an article in the "Review of

Territory, Colonel Richard J. Hin
ton says: 'Nearly four hundred
thousand white and colored Ameri-
cans are living within the borders of
an unorganized territory which be-
longs in fee simple to another race
(but under the government of the
United States), with but the barest
shadow of right to remain anywhere
upon the scant twenty million acres
it contains. It's owners are about
sixty-eight thousand persons Of nor
or less Indian blood, with some six
teen thousand colored people, who
were Once in slavery to them OF are
the direct progeny of their former
chattels. There are one hundred
thousand whites-business men with
some sort of permit to reside ;
workmen for Indian landowners
employees of miners or cattlemen
who work on or have leased lands
from the land-owning ace. The
Americans remaining there have
the barest shadow of a legal right,
and even now the large majority
might be removed by force as tres
passers if it were deemed wise or
necessary to attempt it. Yet there
is, on the whole, no nor peaceable
community upon this continent"
