TOO MUCH TALK.

The incautious criticism of the Ger
man navy as attributed to Admiral
Dewey in recently published inter-
view which has been received with a
display of temper by the German press
md people, lends additional force to the
assertion that American officers talk
too much. Whether the admiral was
quoted correctly is a question between
himself and the interviewer with the
proba ability that the admiral spoke sub
Stantially as he was quoted. News
paper interviews are, except in rare
cases, reasonably accurate. 1t is true
that faxed interview occasionally APP
pears in journal previously of good
repute and apparent responsibility but
eriy be quoted as the exception that
proves the honesty and accuracy of the
average newspaper.
Admiral Dewey is no diplomat. He
is simply a great naval commander
with his mind on the navy as 81 fighting
machine. Delighted with the efficiency
of the vessels under his command he
told the newspaper reporter that 'it
certainly is realized that Germany
could not make successful fight with
our navy" We all believe him; but
while very natural statement it was
not the less unfortunate. IL as re-
ported, he added the gratuittous insin-
uation that Emperor William was
worried over the object lesson given
by the maneuvers of the American fleet
in the West Indies. he was guilty of an
indiscretion scarcely to be expected
from an officer of his prominence and
experience. 1t was the remark of an
able seaman not of an admiral.
In the light of history 1t is entirely
natural for the navy of the United
Bates to believe in the invulnerability
IF that arm of the service but there
Is no occasion or excuse for It's officers
to indulge in braggadocia or carry a
chip about on their shoulders. There
has been too much talk of the sort
attributed to Admiral Dewey, which
aside from its irritant effect upon the
Thin skinned German emperor is an
noying to respectable class of Amer
lean citizens by adoption. All this con-
lecture and assertion by American affi-
GERS as to whom we can whip and
how quickly, is Of childish nature and
deserving of reprimand. The United
States is not looking for trouble and
should not be placed in bullying pose
before other nations by the indiscreet
assumption of its higher officials.

TINE MATTER WITH NORTH CAROLINA.

In recent number OF the Worlds
Work It's editor, Mr.. Walter II. Page,
tells his readers what is the matter
born and bred Mr.. Pages explanation
Of the causes of the prevalence of homi-
eide and general disregard of law which
exist in North Carolina will be given
attention as authoritative.
According to Mr.. Page the fact that
human life is held cheap in that state
is attributed to the peculiar organiza-
ton of southern social institutions.
There is no acknowledgement of equal
ity either socially or under the law
made by the self constituted aristoc-
lacy TO the people at large. 1t claims
rights and privileges as superior class.
AS Mr.. Page puts it, IAN individual as
sumes that he and not the organized
community is domnant1 and the Or
ganized community has not asserted it
self strongly enough against such an
individual assumption. In plain En-
glish, the democratic theory of society
is not in favor 1t is not accepted In
the daily life of the people of South
Carolina. Such a community is as far
off from modern American ideals as a
community that existed IL century ago"
The remedy Mr.. Page asserts lies in
education and he interplets the term to
mean the assertion of the community
says the state must tax and must pun
ish: must put all and every individual
citizen upon the same level. The re-
form is to come from the upbuilding of
the ignorant and neglected classes of
North Carolina. He adds that no
state can rise higher than its average
conduct or how gracicu; the civiliza-
ton of some of its Individuals"
The educational campaign mapped
out for North Carolina will linger long
by the way. The ruling class, which
retains the power and privilege to gov
ern only thru the ignorance and preju-
elices of the commonalty, will naturally
and strenuously oppose any system,
educational or otherwise, that strikes
at the root of its supremacy. The pleas
ant spoken, wel-informed and gentle
manly Jekyll, to his equals, changes
to rayening Hyde at a suggestion OF
niger equality" social or political.
The negro population CT North Caro-
lima will never be educated by his as
sistance or consent and as the Ignorant
white is a necessary adjunct to aristo-
cratic domination, no effort need be
. hoped for in his behalf by the powers
that rule North Carolina. AS it is. the
north is educating, so far as possible
the ignorant of the south, black and
white. Nothing more than spasmodit
and futile effort toward the uplifting
of the lower and more Ignorant CLASSES

COUNTRY TELEPHONE TALK.

The following bits of conyersat ton
heard one evening a short time ago
over one of the rural lines running
from town not many miles away
will represent some of the advantages
and the pleasure which the rural tee-
phone lines furnish to the people.
They represent what we might hear any
fifteen minutes of the day should we
take the time to listen.

"Howis Mr.-?"

[Council Bluffs Nonpareil.l
The sooty, smircy details of the Bur
dick Pencil case have all eendargged
to light. The story is complete in its
painful, sin-stained details; justice has
been done, as far as publicity is con-
cerned, at least to the morally debased
pair who were the cause of all the
trouble; whatever of moral lesson
the publication of the details may have
had has been fully taught: and still the
story drags It's hideous length thru col
umn after column of the daily press Of
the country. 1t is now simply food for
the morbid, the curious and those be-
ings who are happiest when sa,iated
with scandal. Don't. blame the papers

BUSINESS FEATURES.

| Irregularity in retail trade is due to
weather conditions. At most points an
early season stimulates business. but
| in other sections there has been inter-
ruption from excessive rains. More
uniform activity is reported in whole
sale trade. with a notably large move
ment OF groceries. millinery, paper and
builders materials, while conditions
| elry. Manufacturers of clothing, fur
niture, footwear and iron and steel are
we'll engaged, ample supplies of fuel
greatly facilitating operations. but ex-
tensive strikes threaten to render idle
many New England textile mills. 1t is
the season of labor controversies. and
results OF the next few weeks will de-
eide whether industrial progress is to
receive setback on this account.
Early opening of lake navigation will
benefit business, and the railway traf-
fic embargo will be removed, accelerate
ing the movement of all freight. Earn
ings OF railways thus far reported for
March exceed last years by 12.S per
cent and surpass those of 1901 by 22.9
per cent. Securities are not responsive
to these reports, however, and the sixty

significant compared with the same
week in previous years, which accounts
for the loss of 3.5 in. bank exchanges
at New York compared with 1902, and
24.1 per cent compared with the clear
ings two years ago.
An output OF about 100000 tons of
coke in the whole Connellsville region
for the last week indicates that fuel
troubles are almost ended in the iron
and steel industry. With this diff
Guilty removed it is certain that all
records of production will be surpassed,
and the demand is so great that q ready
market will be found for the entire out
put. Quotations are sustained by the
vigorous home consumption, and there
is the additional support of the strong
er markets abroad.
No Improvement has appeared in the
dry goods market, buyers urging de-
liveries on old contracts, but placing
little new business at existing prices.
The situation is peculiarly complicated
as to cotton goods; stocks are light
as Il rule and labor troubles threaten
to curtail output, yet jobbers are re-
luctant to undertake contracts at pres
ent quotations.
Dizziness is reported in wooden goods,
with new business on limited scale
and buyers only exhibiting interest in
securing deliveries of sample pieces of
mems wear woolens and worsteds. Can
collation. OF early orders has become
serious problem, many mills that had
disposed OF their proauct for the season
now seeking business. Outside of lead
ing lines the tone Is unsatisfactory, and
there is some pressure to sell which
produces iriesularity in prices.
Liabilities OF commercial failures
thus far reported for March aggregated
ss.sl5.ss7. of which s3,sa4osa were in
manufacturing, s4,17527s in trading,
ard s1,So4,526 in other commercial lines.
Failures this week numbered PA in the
United States against 2o5 last year, and
&c in Canada against % a year ago.

CHURCH COUPONS.

[Webster City Freeman Tribune.l
The coupon system recently adopted
by the Christian church of this city,
to aid in the paying of the church debt.
IS proving very successful. 1t is net
ing the church from SO to $50 per
month. The merchants who give the
coupons allow certain per cent. of
all purchases to so TO the church by a
redemption of the coupon. This brings
them the trade of the church in recip-
rocation for the per cent allowed on the
coupon. The novel scheme was adopt
ed in January.
