THE Best in the World. "

LORD No!seley. field marshal of the Rrif

'hat IN his opinion the American army, is
the best in the world. An astoundad Brit

Joint Political Discussion.

Mr. Pritcnard of North Carolina, who Is
a candidate to succeed himself in the Sem
ate, has challenged to joint debate one
of the democrats who aspire to the place,
and the challenge has been accepted. 1t Is
a most praiseworthy proceeding. The Of
flee is one of great Importance and the
highest dignity, and those who seek it
should explain to the people precisely where
they stand on all of the leading issues OF
the day. Mr.. Pritchard, moreover. has an
account to render of his stewardship, and
his deliveraIces should receive very care
full attention,
Mr.. Pritchard's course in this matter IS
none the less meritorious because his de-
feat is certain. He has no chance to win.
The cross mark Is chalked on his door, and
the tumbril will call for him at the ap-
pointed time. The suffrage in the state has
been revised in the interests of democratic
success. and those who superintended that
work now in charge of the elections ma
chinery. They are skilfuI operators, and.
as Henry Watterson said of the Goebel law
in Kentucky, nothing is left to chance. In
many localities the certain things are death
and taxes. In North Carolina the list is
heightened. In state races there democratic
success now is quite as certain as either
Nevertheless joint debate is the thing.
Mr.. Pritchard has something to say. and
he does right In arranging to say it to as
many people possible. They viii not
heed him this time. but some of them may
turn over his views in their mind and in
that way fall into fit of thinking. They
may be assisted to see that North Carolina
is vitality interested in policies which have
been and still are doing great good to the
country, and that she ought not to accept
their benefits under protest. They may come
in season to realize not only the Importance
but the seemliness of helping those who
are helping them.
The lack of political debate has for years
been the curse of the south. The demo-
Gratis have seen everything through the
negro. darkly. The virtue of protection. and
the inestimable value of sound money, have
been obscured because they were republican
policies, and the republican party had freed
the negro and made him voter. The issues
between the two parties are sharply drawn,
and Mr.. Pritchard. however little his labors
may yield him in the way of votes, ought to
have no difficulty in showing where the in
terests of the south at present lie

Taft's Return to Manila.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


The significance Of Governor Taffs re-
ception in Manila lies in the extraor-
dinarily spontaneous character of the
display. 1t was no official tribute paid by
offfcialism to an official. 1t was a generous
and inspiring exhibition of public admira-
tion for a man who represents the highest
type of American citizenship and the high
est type of colonial administration SO far
possible of establishment in the Philip
pines. Thirty thousand people greeted the
governor as he landed from his yacht. The
streets were lined with cheering crowds
and the houses decorated with flowers and
flags. Songs of welcome were sung and
speeches were made. Americans FiIipinos.
Europeans and Chinese Joined in the cele-
bration, and nothing was lacking to prove
that the people Of the capital are eminentiy
satisfied with the new order of things. The
wisdom of comforting extensive civiI au-
thorlty upon such men as Governor Taft
was long ago made apparent, and each sue
cessive evidence Of it merely serves to in
crease respect for the judgment which
made the appointment possible.

A number of Americans will be rather
sorry to hear of the resignation Of Admiral
Won Diederichs. The admiral did not sue

teresting historic occasion.

valuable things where they are
hard to get at. She concealed
the Kimberly diamonds in solid
rock. Petroleum, now used all
over the world for heating and
lighting and many other pur-
poses, was discovered hundreds
of feet under the surface of the
soil. Ages went by before men
found, and were able to mine,
coal in sufficient quantities to
take the place of wood as fuel ;
and electricity as an available
help to us in living, is barely
more than half a century old.
Among the wonders which pas

of that grand healing agent,
cod liver oil, in the form OF
WAMPoLE'S PREPARATION.
The reader is aware that for CEN
turtles the usefulness of this drug
has been impaired, and in many
cases nullifed by its nauseating
taste and smell. In this effective
remedy these formidable objec-

Palatable as honey, it contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil, ex-
tracted by us from fresh cod

HAWAIIAN AGRICULTURAL

At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Hawaiian Agricultural Company
held yesterday it was voted to ask au-
thOrity to increase the capital stock of
the company from $1OOO,OOO to $780,
600. The new stock is to be issued half
on January l and half on July l, 1903,
by Brewer & Co., the plantation agents.
This division is made for the conve-
nience of the stockholders who do not
feel equal to taking up the entire issue
on January l. Issuing it in equal parts
as proposed will give an opportunity
to the stockholders to take in all the
stock so issued. The additional capital
will be used to increase the capacity of
the mill and build a railroad through
the plantation from Pahala to Puma
luu. This amount of increase is deem
ed sufficient to accomplish all improve
ments needful to the company to take
care of the increase in its sugar pro-
duct.
