of national colors, and in several
instances, windows displayed

kinley, and sometimes both dec
Grated with flags. AS rule the
business houses were closed until
4 o'clock. A large procession

that is the much maligned and harmless

Jake Smith stands a good chance Of

Smith. who has been looking after a
large area Of our benevolent assimila-
ton policy in the Philippines"
II he is properly dealt with he may
become as well known in history as any
other Of the multitudinous name with
the exception Of Captain John Smith of
historic fame. Jake is being overhauled
In the newspapers at a high rate, and

marked Gen. Sherman's march through
three southern states, Of General Jake
Smiths bloody sapers in the Philippines
shall be approved by the good and true
people OF any state or section Of our
country. The Constitution says:
THE Jake smith idea of how the Fill

ment, and prepared for the exercise of
the freedom Of home rule, is not one
that will receive cordial approval from

The congress will probably reduce the
tariff tax for Cuba 20 per cent. The re-
auctions will be made after a hard fight
and with a most gruiging spirit. Il

It will no doubt be beneficial to the
United States. A large reduction is

CRITICAL HURRY-GRAPHS.

There was never before such a food
of memoirs, autnbiographies, diaries.
George Meredith. the eminent English
a!!st, is to publish this year his au-
photography. Lord Wolsely, the late
. commander-in-chief Of the British
army. has completed his memoirs. Ex-
Queen Istbella, OF Spain, is now writ
ing her personal "Reminiscences"
During 1901 several such works were
published. Last year Andrew Lag
wrote a life of Tennysor, and now Miss
Agnes Weld IS writing an anecdota'
memoir of the incle. tire Sreat poet
lord 1ennyson.
Many able, learned, most interesting
articles appear in the leading Rritisfs
reviews and magazines. Lately we
read a capital paper by that able. care

Stephen. 1t was on Robert Louis

health, is faic, just, showing insight
and ca%refulness. We make but one
quotation concerning Stevenson from
an elaborate PAPER upon him. 1t indi-
Gates the temper and penetration o5
the discussion throughout. He shows
Stevenson's limitations n defects. as
we'll as his fine gifts and accomplish
ments. He writes in sympathy and adj
miration:
The affection which Stevenson iu-
spires needs no Justification. The
mans extraordinary g~allaItry, his ten
der-heartedness, the chivalrous inter-
est so easily reused by any touch Of
heroism, the generosity shown III his
hearty appreciation of possible rivals,
are beyond praise. His rapid glances
at many aspects Of life show real in
sight and singular delicacy, a SENSIBLE
ity of moral instinct, n the thought
is expressed or gently indicated with
the most admirable literary tact. The
praise of versatility again is justified
by the variety o. themes which he has

has happened TO the American people"
they still hear him. seek him: he asks:
Have all other orators misunderstood
them? Is Jones right when he says:

I am shooting in the hole where yoi
are?' On the face of IL. would IL not

He e on to show the probable rea-
son for all this. People do not take the
filings to themselves. 1t is the neigh
Dor who is hit. He gives Jones's expla-
nation who said that rough things are
his stock in trade" He said: The
preachers go out with a silk line and
artificial flies after the mountain trout

and they like worms. He has also said

Mr.. Wilson writes. and it shows he rec

why is this? He is a speaker Of
great power: his voice is interesting,
sympathetic: his articulation is of The
best. and his words are uttered with
great force and ease; his language is
vivid, apt, homely, plain; his addresses
bristle with points. He says many
good, practical things; he abounds with
wit and humor, so that his hearers
laugh from first to last; he looks less
severe than his words. He is as mag
netic as any coarst man. And his hearers
scarcely realize until he is gone that he
has dealt brutal insults to every man
and woman before him; and many OK
them never realize it. The
coarse are pleased to hear a lecturer
talk in their own style; it justifes
them. If Jones shoots in the
hole where they live other speakers
are shooting owe their heads. And yet
can it be seriously considered that our
people are generally coarse and vulgar

SAM JONES-A PHENOMENOz-

In the New York Critic there is a
noticeable paper by Calvin Dill Wilson
entitled The Phenomenon of Sam
JONES' h said Sam being the famous
Georgian evangelist and pulpit BUSH
whacker. 1t is an interesting study.
The writer Of the paper regards it as
very extraordinary that this most popu-
lar OF preachers and lecturers should
De able to draw as he does stlll. He has
not lest his grip in spite of his uncom-
mon methods and his coarseness and
severity. Mr.. Wilson writes:
Ana among the portents that puzzle.
Us is the present condition of oratory
and the public taste as to that art. and
the striking phenomenon that the plat
form speaker who draws larger crowds
than any other man in America. at
least In many portions of it, is one who
hurls at his hearers epithets
that no one would dare utter in a draw
tng-room. This certainly is a angular
fact. He has been gag in serving
up promiscuous insults of this nature
TO his audiences for more thar twenty
years, and his popularity Is undated.

Mr.. Jones has lost cast with tensof
thousands of people IN North Carolina
who once eargerly and repeatedly heard
him IN his strange philipics and master
ly bfllingsgate. The writer copied from
notes "a still more singular fact" and
says:
Jones grows in his language worse
and worse, coarser and coarser, from
year to year, yet his vogue increases.
He speaks not only to 1ewd fellows of
the baser sort bat in nearly all the
communities which he visits he has in

ings it has erected ard other changes

While the newspapers in other cities
are coquetting now and are specializing
also as to the probability OF the entire
system being removed from VIII
mington L Richmond or Charleston,
to Rocky Mount or Savannah. the fact
remains that Wilmington is indeed well
situated for both traffic and speed, for
best advantages and opportunities IL
Is near the great ocean, ii has water
inland communication, ii has other rail-
way facilities, and 1. is growing in
Importance.
The gentlemen who are at the head
of the Atlantic Coast Line are Of high
character for intelligence, ability and
enterprise. There is probably in all this
great country not to be found a better
o. more tudicious managed system. The
high price of its bonds, the fine remuu-
Grating results obtained and the con-
fdence of all investors and friends in
the excellency and security of its man.
agement all speak truppet-tongued in
its behalf. We verify believe 1t is as
wisely and proftably managed as any
system in either the north or the
south. 1t is simply and Enthusiastically
most efficient, most excellent.
Mr.. Harry Walters, the head Of the
great system, is really a superior rail-
road man. He has judgment, wisdom,
conservatism, enterprise and broad
views. He is Of high character and is
greatly respected by all who know him
personally, or know of him. He is calm.
self-reliant, well equipped and ready.
With him at the head there is a guaran-
tee that no movement will be made
without being we'll considered, and hat
no changes will be made that is indif-
ferent to the welfare and prosperity Of
Wilmington.
Colonel ". G.. Elliott, the president Of
the Atlantic Coast Line, ha. shown his
distinguished capabilities through many
years of efficient, active service. He has
compared well with rivals Of other
roads in his grasp OF the situation, his
mental force, his study of conditions
and the success that has attended his
prolonged services. 1t was fortunate
for the prosperity of the o a that he
was chosen as its president.
The General Manager, j. r. Kenly,
Esq. is par excellence a railroad ex-
pert and of rare qualities and
Judgment. He is far-seeing, r%esourceful,
deliberate, s~elfpoised, sagacious and
masterful. He is indeed a prince among
managers of great railroad systems.
And what is so important he is a
thorough gentleman. resoIute OF will
and yet kindly disposed.
Mr.. T. NJ. Emerson has been with the
road for nearly thirty years. So far
back as 1877, we heard enc or the fore
most of the railroad men say that he
was an excellent railroad man. That
was when Mr.. Emerson was quite a
young man. He is more efficient and
capable in 1902. He is traffic manager
and in that position ranks with the
best.
With such men at the helm it is to be
hoped that the sailing will be propitious
and the sea smooth, bringing no dis
asters or storms to this city by the sea,
but increased blessings and
of other good times coming.
