sorbed chiefly in supposed empire-mak-
ing and its inevitable ornaments. The
vast interests of Britain in China are
upon examination. The amount that
China takes Of British products is only
5000, 000l. per nnum Little Holland
takes one-half more, and SO does little
Belgium: and the Brazilian and the
Venezuelan republics each tax more.
A very big war can easily be stirred
up there, COSTING thousands OF lives
and a hundred millions or two, which
cannot well be spared, all in the cause
of protecting a paltry five millions
worth of trade. yielding perhaps, Co.,
000l. or 700, 000l. per annum profit. Nor
is Chinese trade likely to increase much
for the Chinese need little that is made
by Western nations"
Such a statement is no doubt true,
and if true, it should make Western
nations pause long before plunging
into schemes OF conquest in the re-
mote east. Mr.. Carnegie, who is a very
level headed man of business thinks
that to go into wars for h purpose
OF "conquering'' new territories for
markets abroad is dropping the sub
stance for the shadow-chasing rain
bows" 1t is that and more. 1t is dig
ging graves for its own people. he
is no doubt wise in the opinion that "a
profitable home market is the strong
est weapon that can be used to conquer
markets abroad. One more quotation
from his informing paper. He sees
how his native country lags and why,
and he tells the British hat after
British employers and employed reach
the American standard of economical
production, Britain will still remain
heavily handicapped in the industrial
race by the enormous load Of taxation
under which her producers labor as
compared with America. 1t seems to
the writer hat this should be one, If
not the chief, controlling factor in de-
termining the world-policy of the ma
ton. 1t must soon force itself upon
statesmen" But statesmen unfortun-
ately learn slowly and hang on with
grim vigor to old notions and theories
and practices. A high robber tariff tax
is in evidence. That is only a wise,
far-seeing people who are governed by
reason, by a spirit of fair-dealing and
equity, and who measure results by a
sense of right and justice. Mr.. Carnegie
says that a nation must ecu it's gar
ment according to it's cloth;'' an old
saw of wide application.

JERUSALEM THE GOLDEN.
Description of PigeIheim's Beautiful
S~pectatoriam of the C~rucifction.
Especial Correspondence.)

Buffalo, September %.
If the beautiful spectatoriam. Jerusa-
lem the Golden, should be sent to the
Charleston exposition, care should be
taken to place it in a quiet part Of the
grounds and not make it a feature of
The Midway. The painting represents
Jerusalem at the time of the crucifix-
ion of Christ. In the center of the
is Calvary, on which are plac-
ed the three crosses. Around the cen
trail cross are several groups. The
foremost includes the Virgin Mary, St.
John. Mary Magdalene, Joseph of Ari-
mathea, Nicodemus, and other friends
of Christ. On the right is the city Of
Jerusalem as it looked at the time of
the crucifiXiOn. On the left of Cavalry
are the villas of the Roman noblemen,
the elegant home of Joseph of Arima-
thea, with the vaulted archway of his
tomb IN full view.
The atmospheric effects are wonder
fully fine, and a field of brilliant sun
light falls on the road that leads out
between the hills towards Bethany.
With the aid of electricity a porten-
tous cloud o gathers over the city
of Jerusalem, finally centering around
the cross. There is a moment of intense
darkness at which time the earth is
supposed to quake. After vivid dis
plays of lightning and the distant rum
BILE of thunder. the storm center o
centrates around the cross, a lurid eff
fulgence is seen around the head of
Christ. which is the only bright spot
on the canvas at the time.
AS this electrical display is in prog
ress a fine elocutionist tells the story in

subsidies n the panorama of Jerusa-
lem, it's environment, it's hills, Geth-
semane n Calvary appear in the af-
ternoon sunlight as they did when the
visitor first entered.
The canvas was painted by Pigelheim
in Munich, after studying Jerusalem
n the surrounding country and the
ancient manuscripts of the Jews for
several years. The canvas is said to
be absolutely correct from a historical
standpoint and workmanship is very
artistic. Every detail is faithfully car
ried out, and is one of the most refined
n impressive Genes in America. II
1t comes to Charleston it should have
a place to itself. 1t cannot fail to ap-
peal to an enlightened audience. The
cultured and ignorant are alike pleased

the whites were not in it. 1t is remote
now but remains suggestive. We o.
from what Raymond's able newspaper
a in part:
THE affair occurred in the midst OF
a Quaker population, and it will be re-
membered that the obligations of hat
Society to peace and submission are
rather more inveterate than their aver
sion to slavery. The activity of the
neighborhood in assisting the ends Of
justice; the unanimity of the local in
dignation against the perpetrators Of
the crime, go far to refute the first
random rumors so prejudicial to the
good fame of the vicinage; and we
will wager a trif1e that no future devel-
opments will damage it in the least.
There is neither charity nor fair
ness, nor any motion toward either, in
this attempt to ~inculpate a quiet n
harmless community, without dimin-
ishing the prestige against the actual
offenders"

HOME FOLKS.

We like the Raleigh News and OBJ
gives much due attention to North
Carolina. There is no doubt as to its
superiority, but is there not doubt as
to it's age? We are seeking informa-
ton. 1t announces that it has passed
its fftieth year. We recall this-about
1869. when this writer was of the Ra-
leigh Sentinel staff, being associated
with Hon. Josiah Turner, Messrs. Stone
and Uzzel, of Weldon, came to Raleigh
and began the publication OF the Ra-
leigh News. Later on, our old school
mates, Colonel w. l.. Saunders and
Major Peter NJ. Hale, began the pub
LEGATION of the Raleigh Observer. Later
still the two papers we're united and we
have an impression that our friend Capt.
Samue A. Ashe was the editor of the
two united journals. If we are at fault
in any particular in this statement we
will be glad to make the correction.
We are not in the least degree inclined
to rob our esteemed contemporary of
any age but seek simply to know how
it is a. half century old, when it was
begun. If there was any sue paper in
1851 we never heard of it. The late
very clever Captain Samuel T. Will
liams, a lawyer of brightness and most
com~panionable, edited the News first
with a salary of 81, 500 a year, the larg-
est we ever heard Of in North Carolina
with possibly but n exception.

gives an instructive showing. the

gates SIS, 000, 900. Their liabilities are
stated at Sis, OOO, 1000. OF his great
sum fully $72, 900, 900 are water" But
this has not prevented the making Of
great dividends. It is stated that these
have varied from Is to AZ per cent. ard
have been divided each year by the
several companies.
Why do the prosecution lawyers and
a part of the northern press always
treat Rear Admiral Schley as on trial
and on the defensive? Admiral Dewey
silenced the judge advocate Lemly
(who is we learn a native of North
Carolina) as to this n OF speech.
Lemly has no business occupying the
place he is made to do in the investi-
cation. Why is he pretending to pros
ecute? He is a known open enemy of
the great victor. The Norfolk Virgin
ian-Pilot discussing Lemly say this:
How does it come then that Lemly
is at the court Of inquiry, as the repre-
sentative of the government, in the role
| of prosecutor of Schley and defender
of Sampson? Why is he so solicItous
that Sampson should not be brought
into the matter?" Why is he constant
ly on his feet Directing to perfectly
competent questions intended to bring
out essential facts, merely because
such questions involve some act or
| some order of Sampson? Is it not most
| amazing, indeed. that, when the second
in command of a fleet is under inves-
| tigation, the rule should be laid down
| by the Judge advocate that his superior
officer must not be brought into it?"
What affair is it of Lemly's of or the
| governments whether Sampson is
brought into" or kept out of the inves-
| tigation? Why this extreme tender
ness toward Sampson?
The only answer to these questions is
that the naval department coterie has
| succeeded in Transforming what should
have been an impartial investigation
into a bitter prosecution of Schley, and
an out and out defense of Sampson and
the navy department"
The strikers in the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION strike that failed are estima-
ted to have lost immensely-fully S10,-
100000. That is a great calamity to poor
and laboring men. The strike compell-
| ed thousands to remain idle who were
not participants in the movement. II
is again stated and is perhaps true
that the great corporations did not sus-
tain loss by it. AT any rate the United
States Steel Corporation reports mo
appreciate diminution Of income"
The great corporations rarely suffer
loss or defeat in q contest with labor.
1t has been always so nearly. The
country suffered from the strike as it
postponed and rather unsettled bust
ness in so far as. the industries were
involved in dealings with the steel
mills. But this statement scarcely
harmonizes with a statement before
us that. he corporations were not
losers.

Rev. George r. Stuart, the well
known Methodist evangelist, has re-
Gently closed a meeting at Greensboro.
There were 100 professions of religion.
He received $500 for his services. The
excellent weekly Patriot says of him:
'Mr. Stuart is not what nay be called
a specially strong preacher; in fact,
many of his sermons are nothing more
than talks or lectures, but he has the
faculty of drawing people to hear him
and holding their attention"
Mr.. Stuart was in Wilmington with
Sam Jones chief. We had the real
pleasure of hearing him in all probably
a dozen discourses. He was decidedly
acceptable to the great crowds who at
tended at the tabernacle constructed
for Jones. We heard him preach two
or three of very unusual in
tereSt and force. He has not the mag
netism of Jones, but avoiding the
coarseness and violence of the Georgian
he is a better gospel preacher and a
much closer observer Of the proprieties
and decencies of the pulpit ministra-
ton.

When the assassin reached the war;

moaned, shrieked and groveled on
the floor, the most miserable wretch in
the world. He was yanked to his feet
by the guards, stripped and clothed

dose him with brandy to enable him
to answer the questions for the prison

THERE IS No O|SSENS|ON
No Attempt Being Made to

The Regents Make Reply to the Dis
cussi0n Which has Been Raised
in the Newspapers

Manhattan Kas. Sept. 27-The board
of regents of Agricultural college
closed a two days session tonight and
left at once for their various homes.
This morning, appropriationsin in small
amounts we're made for number Of
the departments, and the twelfth reso-
luton, the cause of recent newspaper
comment, was killed by vote of to
l. The vote on this resolution stood:
Fairchild, Mcdowell, Stewart, Sat-
terthwaite and Nichols against, and
Coburn, its framer, the lone man for
it. Hunter, who is on the majority
side, was not present.
A resolution outlining the boards
policy was adopted, all the regents
signing it excepting Mr.. Coburn.
This resolution is, in part, as follows:
Whereas, certain newspapers have
asserted that there are at present two
factions in the board of regents of
the State Agricultural college, one of
which stands for a purely literary
training aud is opposed to the short
courses in dairying, agricultural and
domestic science. the other standing
for purely agricultural college, and
opposed to the present order of things:
And whereas it has been stated by
anonymous correspondents that
crisis in the affairs of the AGRICULTURAL
college is pending; therefore be it
''Resolved, That we regard the
above statements as wholly unwar-
ranted and calculated to work injury
to the college. We desire to assure
these papers, and through them the
many friends of the institution, that
there is not nor has there been at any
time a desire to restrict the agricul-
tural work done at this college. On
the contrary, we are anxious that
everything possible be doneto enlarge
and render more efficient the expert
mental work. No expansion of the
purely literary side of the college
work has been attempted or even ad-
vocated."
