Showed His Ignorance.

"a young North Carolina girl gave
me a center shot the other day as a
token of that pride of locality which is
more pronounced in the South than
elsewhere" said Mr.. Henry @. Corners
of Baltimore, according to the Wash
ington Post.
1T was quite a small piece, but it
boosted one very fine hotel, at which l
stopped all night. After good break
fast l paid my bill to the grown daugh-
ter of the lady who ran the tavern and
who was quite up in the duties of a
cashier.
You have a nice little town here,
miss, said l, trying to make friends
with the good-looking clerk, but must
say that l never knew there was such
a town on the map till the Southern
Railroad landed me here yesterday.
"Eyeing me coolly and looking me
square in the eye, the Tarheel maiden
said: Where are you from, mister|
I owned up to Baltimore, and this is
what she handed me: Well l reckon
there's lots of folks in Baltimore that
are just as ignorant as you

| There is a persistent effort on the
part of the Republican papers to create
the impression that Senator German is
! trying to array the Democratic senators
against the Panama canal. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The
position he has taken is that the ad-
ministration's course, so far as it has
! been disclosed in the Panama revolu-
ton isn't creditable to this country.
1t may be that when the President
makes his reply to the Hoar resolu-
| ton calling for information as to the
] part the United States took in the
isthmian revolution, the course of the
| administration will appear in a light
that will be more creditable to it.
The impression is strong in Wash
! ington that the treaty with Panama
will be ratified. The indications are
that the Democratic senators will take
no caucus action on the treaty. The
great majority of the Democratic SEN
ators are from the South and there
is Sno doubt that the South wants the
canal, and believes the only chance
to get it is that which is presented by
the treaty with Panama. In their
opinion, if that treaty should fail the
beginning of the work of constructing
the canal would be delayed for long
time.
OF course, the President could I'M
dertake the construction of a canal on
the Nicaragua route. but the senti-
ment is so strong in favor of the Pan
anna route that means doubtless would
be found to obstruct the beginning of
a canal on the former route.
Colombia is making extraordinary eff
forts to have questions growing out
of the Panama revolution referred TO
The Hague tribunal. 1t offers to let
the United States have whatever con-
cessions they want for the building
of the canal at price to be fixed by
that tribunal. OF course the PROPOSE
ton will not be accepted. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to accept it. The
United States have recognized the Re-
public of Panama and so have Ger
many, France and Great Britain. Even
though the treaty with Panama grant
ing canal concessions should not be
ratified by the Senate the new re-
public would, in all probability. re-
main in existence. 1t looks as if the
canal would be constructed on the
Panama route and that work would
soon be begun on it..

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Mobile Register Dem) says
There are some who talk of i'm
peaching President Roosevelt for maxi
ing war on Colombia and usurping the
power of Congress, but there is nothing
in it."
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: These recent exhibitions of
British sympathy with Japan have I'M
doubtedly produced a profound i'm
preston in Russia, and if the Russian
government now decides to accept ia
pans proposals, which are really very
reasonable, it will be mainly because
of British backing"
The New York Times (Dem.) says
whether we like it or not, it is plain
that there is to be an enormous de-
velopment to the north of us. If we
had the sense to take down the stupid
tariff bars and give free course to nat
ural and mutually profitable exchanges,
we should have nothing to fear and
much to hope for from such develop
ment"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: THE opposition OF Democratic
senator's to the methods Of the admin
istratlon IN dealing with isthmus af-
fairs should not be misinterpreted. Be
cause they are not willing that the
honor and GOOD faith Of the United
States shall be- compounded IN dealing

How They are Elected.

"a few days ago." said Mr.. E, C.
Tooke of Philadelphia, according to
the Washington Post, 81 happened to
be present when an Italian who was
applying for naturalization papers, was
being examined as to his knowledge
of the constitution, ETC., of his adopted
country
F" Who is President of the United
States?' was the first query. so
Teddy said Mr.. Dago, with cheer
full promptitude.
How is the President elected?'
"'By a large machonly.'
"'How are United States Senators
elected?'
THE son of Sicily appeared some
what confused at this last query, and
I thought he was going to fall down
but after a moments hesitation a
bright smile iIlumined his swarthy face
and he answered in a tone of triumph:
Gay have to put upa de mon.' 3"

were not so plentiful and so lavish in
Wall street this year as they were last.
Then at least one big banking es-
adjustment, prominently identified
with numerous reorganzations and
consolidation schemes, gave each of its
employees a present equal to years
salary, and hundred-dolla bills in the

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED
By the Use of the New Scalp Anti
semitic.

SCDIIC.
1t wouldn't take long to number the
hairs in the heads of some people, the
reason being they haven't many to
number. In most instances, however
the fault is their own. A germ at the
root soon plays havoc with the most
luxurant growth and causes it to fade
and fall out. A remedy for this mas
recently been discovered, called New
bros Herpicide, that acts by destroy
ing the germ that does the damage
besides removing all impurities from
the scalp. In addition it permits new
life and vigor to enter the scalp, and
happy results are sure to be obtained
from it's use. Try it. Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10c in stamps for

When the coal famine was at its
hight last winter, because of the strike
and consequent suspension of produc-
ton, Congress passed a law, a make
shift law to relieve the situation. plac-
ing coal on the free list for short
period. That period will expire on
Jan. II, and coal will go on the dutia-
BILE list again. 1t is stated that under
the free coal provision there has been
less coal imported than before, and
that what has been imported has been
sold at full rates. The Republicans
are pointing to this as an example
showing that the tariff does not in
crease the cost to the consumer. AS
a matter of fact it shows that the coal
trust has got absolute control of the
distribution in this country, and that
independent dealers have been practi-
cally if not actually eliminated.

THE OBJECTIONABLE PARDONS.

A GOOD many bitter things have
IN been said against Gov. Mcbride
by the newspapers and politicians OF
Washington, but the lowest act which
has been charged against him is the
paroling of the Skagit county thug,
Jack Sheehan, that he may aid the
governor politically in his home coun-
ty. About eighteen months ago, Shee =
han was sentenced to ten years in the
penitentinry for shooting Mt. Yer
non dive keeper. 1t is openly charged
that he is now doing ward politics for
the chief executive in Skagit county.
II the charge is true the governor is
in hard straits, and the state is in the
hands of an INSCRIPTIONS executive.
But the pardoning OF the man sent
up from this county for cold blooded
murder in the face of protest from
the majority OF the people of the
county proves that Gov. Mcbride is
capable OF most anything in the par
doning line.-Island Co. Times.
D. c. Pearson, our esteemed brother
editor, should not be So hard on the
governor who evidently has "power-
full weakness" for blindly exc clsing
the pardoning power. While Adams
county has similar untold tale OF
woe wherein one, Alfred j. Symes, was
twice found guilty of the murder OF
L. A. Conlee, and was awarded nine
teen year sentence in 1896 for being
so handy with gun that according
to his own language, he "put six
bullets through Conlee's body before
he could fall from his horse" still
there seems to he no objection here tc
the governor. Though we spent So.
600 OF the taxpayers money in justice
to the widow and orphans of Lou Con-
lee, and the demands of an outraged
community to convict the red-handed
bruser of murderer, who deserved
hanging, yet he was quickly given his
liberty when Mr. Mcbride accidentally
fell into the chair as chief magistrate
OF the state. And still it seems unan.
imous for Mr.. Mcbride over on thi.
side OF the the mountains. Had the
people OF Adam. county, or some, OF
even one OF its represent ative citizens
been consulted, or the matter given
publicity in some proper way before
such hasty action there would probably
be less ground for criticism. The
governor probably thinks as the fellow
said: "You attend to your own bust.
ness and l will attend to yours"
