TOO SOON FOB CANDIDATES.

Mr.. Bryan, who speaks on Jackson
Day in Ohio, reiterated that he would
not be candidate for President in 1904,
and asked as to the candidate, Mr.. Bryan
said:
There is nobody in the United States
who is at present qualified to name the
Democratic candidate. 1t would hardly
be proper for me to assume the right
to discuss any particular Presidential
candidate at present. This is because
am not prepared to discuss the relative
merits OF men who might be associated
with the Democratic nomination.
1t is too soon to select candidates. Be-
fore the convention meets the candidate
will appear, conditions will call him
forth, and your uncle Adlai Stevenson
says he will certainly be elected. So
mote it be.

sLANDERINa GOOD PEOPLE.

The Asheville Gazette is never happy
since it sold it's press, type and con-
science to the Radical revenue ring, un-
less it is abusing somebody who does not
sell out. It's latest TRADE is directed
against the good people of Wake Forest
College. A correspondent of a paper,
writing from Wake Forest, in a recent
letter, said that some of the people were
thinking of holding an indignation meet
ing" because a clerk In the postoffice, a
Democrat, had been discharged. Upon
that paragraph, the Gazette raves as
follows:
1.-The Gazette has been led to suppose
that Wake Forest Is one Of the most
bigotted and intolerant Democratic towns
in the eastern part of the State. 1t is
the seat of Wake Forest College, the
leading Baptist institution of learning In
North Carolina. We believe this college
has large faculty-every one of whom
is a Democrat It's patronage is drawn,
to some extent at least, from Baptists
of the State who are Republicans We
think the influence of this college Should
be exerted to modify the intolerant spirit
of the people of that town, the great ma
jority of whom are connected, in one way
or anothere with it's operations as an
educational institution

MR.. BRYAN ON JACKSON,

Mr.. Bryans speech at Wooster last
man-honest, straightforward and pa
triotic. He aptly and forcibly shows
that Andrew Jacksons greatest service
was not the New Orleans victory, but
the yistory over Nicholas Biddle, who
had declared that through the National
Banks he could make and unmake Con-
gresham" That power was the danger
of the Republic and Jackson destroyed
one man or one interest can govern WISE
ly or well for the good of all.

SOUTHERN PEOPLE WARMLY
PRAISED.

A distinguished Catholic priest in the
State of New York, visited Raleigh
years ago, where he charmed all who
were so fortunate as to know him. A
friend in this city received private let
ter few days ago from the priest. We
are permitted to make single extract,
which contains the most appreciative and
beautiful tribute to the Southern people
ever paid by Northern man. We quote:
my heart often grows weary when, out
of the hurly- burly and turmoil of city
been to have followed my heart and end
ed my days in peace of souls in the poor
but hospitable South. Your people have
grown weather., as thought you would,
since I first made their acquaintance.
but wealth could not have made their
hearts larger or truer, and I doubt if
wealth could make their hearts shrivel.
/ think other and different generations
would have to come and the old and
lovable ones would have to die, and their
traditions be forgotten. before ice-water
could course, instead of the surging warm
blood in the hearts and veins of my
Southern friends. l believe that wealth
would, on the other hand, only restore
to them the possibility of indulging their
natural impulses of gentle living. How
graceful is wealth in the hands of a
gentleman, and how hideous in the grasp
of boar"
Could any tribute be more discriminate
ing, honest, glowing and warm hearted
than is contained in this brief extract
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-01-07

The railroad magnates are telling the
people of Virginia if that State estab-
fishes a Corporation Commission with
power to regulate rates. no more rail-
roads will be built in the Old Dominion.
That is an old bluff. The same thing was
said in North Carolina, but the result
has shown that people who have money
ness principles, Commission or no Com
mission.

With reference to the plan to increase

With reference to the plan to increase
the salaries of members of Congress,
Congressman Eddy, of Minnesota, does
not think there are dozen who could
get as salaries in private business what
the government pays them Besides,
ber's time, and most of them desire an
increase, in addition to their salaries
from the practice of law.

Referring to the attachment obtained
by Bynum and Bynum, the lawyers who
defended the gold-brick swindfer Gill
more, to prevent the Greensboro Loan
and Trust Company from paying money
deposited there until their fee was paid,
the Greensboro Record says:
"One may bunco an ordinary man, but
