ARTHUR AND ROOSEVELT.

In the year Of 1888, we had occasion
to refer to the late President Arthur.
We said of him.: He did not follow re-
publican leaders because they were Re
publicans. He vas the most conserva-
tive and patriotic Of republican presi-
dents" We might have aid with truth
that he gave the whole country a wise,
just. highly commendable administra-
ton as a whole. Having by us what
we wrote thirteen years ago, it will be
well enough to reproduce it as people
forget and it is we'll to remind then
of a past administration that might be
a good model for the new presidents:
president Arthur had opinions of his
own which he did not fail to present
in his message to the congress although
disregarded sometimes as were his
recommendations. He thought that the
tariff schedule needed revising and re-
ducing and he did not favor the aboli-
strongly opposed to this plan of getting
rid of the surplus and reducing taxes.
Among other reasons, he said:
"a total abolition of excise taxes
would almost Inevitably prove a serious
if not an insurmountable obstacle, to a
thorough revision of the tariff and any
considerable reduction Of the import
duties.
He took the view hat the ablest dem
ocrats in the country-north and south
have taken. Republican, protection
lists have said again and again that
they favored wiping out the internal
taxes because it would put a stop to
tariff "tinkering" and make protection
safe.
There are signs in 1901. that the pres
ent monster high robber tariff-the
D~ingley-may be raced in places
There are most agreeable and cheerful
signs that President Roosevelt may bt
a, broad-gauge, wise patriotic Ameri'
can president knowing no north, nc
south. no east, no west" So be it

In Zadkiel's Almanac for 1886 a pre-
diction occurred and was as follows:
Shocks of earthquake in the nth
degree of west longitude may be ooked
for. Great thunder storms and waves
Of intense heat will pass over the
States. There will be great excitement
in America"
That was fulfilled. The earthquake
at Charleston occurred on the 31st of
August of that year, causing much de-
~struction of property and the loss of
many lives. the sysmic disturbance
was felt as far north as Washington
City. The heat in July and August
was intense. The earthquake occurred
between 76 and IS degrees west longi-
tude. That Almanac, SO given to pro-
phecy, had been published forty years
when it made its prophecy fulfilled at
Charleston. 1t is still published we be-
lieve. 1t used to circulate 120, 900 copies
This Almanac for 1853 contained a pre-
diction as to Emperor Louis Napoleon
of France. 1t said of him:

honors, power, or prosperity. He

the insight Of his daring martial hosts,

He was overthrown in 1870 by the
fortunes of war and great armies of
Germany under Won Moltke. He did
not long survive. His remains are en-
tombed in England. His son was kill

EVIDENCES OF LAwLESSNESS IN
THE NORTH.

The northern papers parade every act
of lynching Inc all offences against law
in the south when they can find it,
While no one should rejoice over scenes
of disorder o acts of lawlessness and
crime in the north, it is but fair to give
them in summary if not more extern
lsively in southern newspapers. 1t is
fair play to show that the boastfuI,
best educated section the country has
yet learned the law of obedience
land service to God, the laws of So
briefly, order. and morality, the law Of
Tolerance and forbearance and SYM
lpathy with God and right. We have
before us a Chicago weekly called THE
New Voice" 1t is devoted to the adj
vancement of temperance, sobriety, and
good government. 1t gives through sew
eral pages a record for the week proceed
ing or longer of certain manifestations
and acts of lawlessness and of actual
"~anarchistic outbreaks not among
the professed members OF the associa-
ton gang, but among so-called Amer
ican citizens who are supposed to re-
gard law and order theoretically and
some Of whom are actual government
Officials. We give but a glimpse OF the
report of this temperance organ. At
Harrisburg, Illinois, a few days be-
fore, when "lewd fellows of the baser
sort" led by a professed minister Of
the Gospel, lacked only courage in their
effort to mob the Rev. DR.. Silas C.
Swallow, and where a noisy gang OF
convicted political thieves adopted a
violent series of resolutions aimed at
him. In Binghamton, New York, a city
there was an object lesson worthy Of
note. The New Voice says that it has
FURNISHED to the world a life-siZed OBJ
ject lesson of the zeal of partizan re-
publicans for the suppression of an
archy' and Of the devotion of these
same wonderful people to the idea OF
government by civilized law. The OBJ
1ect lesson was given by means of a
republican mob led by the assistant
deputy marshal of this district. the
postmaster of the city. and one of the
editors of the leading papers of the
town. The object of the mob's violence
was the Standard, a local prohibition
newspaper published in that city" The
editor and the proprietor were roughly
handled n the mob threatened to
burn the office. The offence was a ref
Ierence to the Buffalo exposition and
what in part caused the murder Of the
president. 1t said:

can do no little good in North Carolina

scientific Instruction as to agriculture.
II the farmers were really wiser men
as a class and better Informed as to
their best interests they would not Gull

an abundance of home anure and
make three barrels of corn grow where
one now grows, and thirty and forty
bushels of wheat to the acre be pro-
duced where they may make a beggar-
~ ten or twelve bushels or less. The
new professor has come from Ohio and
knows of the best farming in that great
productive section, and being a native
of New England he is also informed as
to the educational methods prevailing
there. We hope this quarterly will be
read by farmers n their sons, and
hat there may be a great awakening
in North Carolina in enthusiasm and
wiser methods and greater production.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES ON SAMP-
SON.

The Washington Times has a we'll d.
rected examination of Admiral Samp-
sons own statements. His c~ontradlc-
lions OF himself are noteworthy and
astounding. He juggled with his own
statements and made the record to suit
his own plans and ambition. A COM
parison of his own reports puts him TO
shame, and shows him up in bad colors.
He varied and twisted his statements,
and made the distances at different
times to conflict to suit his ~eXigenci3s.
The Times article is too long to oe
made plain by a few short extracts.
His effort was to rob Schley and get
his own ship into action or close up
when the Spanish vessels were destroy
ed. Perhaps our readers do not know
haw far away the Spaniards had reach
ed when destroyed. Here is what
Sampson said:
I'm his report, by cable, of July 3, he
states: AT 2 p. m. the last war ship,
the Cristobal Colon, had run a shore
sixty miles west of Santiago Inc let
down her colors.'
After twelve days of elaboration he
says: AT ITO it (the Cristobal Colon)
gave up without firing another shot,
hauled down it's colors and ran ashore
at Rio TarQuino, forty-eight miles from
Santiago
Again, on July 3, he says: The
Infanta Maria Teresa, Oquendo and
Viscaya were burned and blown up
within twenty miles of Santiago
But, two weeks or less later, he as
serts: The Viscaya was set on fire and
at 11:15 turned in shore and was BEACH
ed at Asseradero, fifteen miles from
Santiago
I'm this connection it is important
to note the truth, thoroughly well
known to Admiral Sampson, that Asse-
radero is twenty-one miles west of
Santiago harbor entrance.
ITO return to the Cristobal Colon.
which. according to SIMPSONS first re-
port, went ashore sixty miles, and, ac-
cording to his second, forty-eight miles,
west of Santiago. Rio Tarquino is sixty
miles west of Santiago harbor entrance
by the nearest water route, and is fifty
five miles west in an air line, but. as
SIMPSONS fleet was not composed Of
air ships. this latter route was not open
to him."
h Colon went ashore fifty-four and
a half miles west of Santiago. The
coast line made the distance really
ffty-eight and a half miles. Sampson
plumbers as to distances for other ships.
He reduced n distance Is per cent,
the object being to that it may appear
that his own ship was not away off but
in sight. In other words he made two
different statements as to the distance.
The Times says:
when these conflicting statements
are carefully considered in the light of
time and distances the conclusion will
be irresistible that in order to reduce
the distance the New York a to
travel to reach the Viscaya, Sampson
reduced the true distance from Santa
go harbor entrance to the Viscaya by
five miles, and hat he reduced the dis
lance between Santiago harbor and The
Colon. as sunk, by twelve miles, for the
purpose of bringing his ship the New

than it actually was at the time they
surrendered"

HEIR TO FORTUNE
 DIES IN POVERTY

Salt Lake, Utah, October GA stranger who died at the Holy Cross Hospital this city last Monday from pneumonia. has been identified as c. A. Deforest, an as- saver of national reputation, a mechani- cal and mining engineer. a chemist, 8 student and heir to a large fortune.
 His father. who was a New York bus mess man, had always been liberal re- garding money matters with his only son. The father died and the young mans mother reduced him to an allow ance when she died two years ago, plac- Ing her sons share of a $300,000 estate in trust. The will provided that he was to receive only the interest for two years. At the end of that period the entire for tune was to be at his disposal.
 Heir to fortune though he was, his last extremity found him almost penni- less. Had he lived only thirty days more he would have been rich man and his widow would have come into possession of his wealth without question or con- troversy. As matters now stand there are great possibilities of litigation over the fortune. There is a provision in the will that in case of his death before the payment of the trust the fortune should revert to Deforest's two sisters, Mrs. Dooley and Mrs. Colbran, both of New York.
