An exchange takes up The Times
Dispatch, of Richmond, Va, for using
the term "old veterans" and asks:
a man young in years be a vet
The Century Dictionary and
defines the word "veter-
an" when used as an adjective as:
Grown old in service. Hence prac-
.tised, and skillGul. Entitled to
consideration and allowance on ac-
count of long service. In military
matters, practised and accustomed to
as distinguished from raw, newly
enlisted. etc" AS a noun-"one long
.practised and, therefore, skilled and
trustworthy or entitled to considera-
'tion for past services" From these
it would seem that a young
man might be entitled to be called a
when a companion in arms of
age would not be, the length
of service determining the question.

HOW THE VOTE STANDS.

Only one more democratic state
convention is to be held to appoint
delegates to the ST. Louis convention
that of Missouri. That state has
thirty-siX votes in the presidential
convention. These will in all proba-
bility be instructed for Cockrell. As
the delegates now stand there are
four hundred and sixty un~instructed,
two hundred and seventy instructed
for Parker and one hundred and
sixty-fouri for Hearst. Olney has
t~hirty-two votes from Massachusetts,
Gray six from Delaware, and Wall
twenty-Six from Wisconsin, making
a total of nine hundred and ninety
four, with six hundred and sixty-three
necessary to nominate under the ty7o-
thirds rule. Of the four hundred
n sixty uninStructed delegates a
good many will vote for Parker, and
after the first few ballots he will get
votes from delegates of those states
which have been INSTRUCTED for ia
sons." This gives Parke a
pretty good showing, but does not by
any means insure his being able to
secure two-thirds of h votes.
The figures above given are COM
piled from a Washington City special
in Yesterdays Raleigh Post.

This is as good a criticism as could
be made of this plank in the republic
can platform; but IT is Of rather pecu-
LA rtone to come from the organ of
the candidate who expects to be
elected upon that platform.
By the way, it is remarkable what
similarity there is in the closing SEN
tence Of this republican plank on tar
if and the last sentence Of the tenn
perance plank in the platform adopted
by the democratic convention in
Greensboro last Friday. The latter
reads@

We give our readers this morning
the eloquent speech delivered by
Governor Aycock before h demo-
state convention on last Thurs
day. Our limited space prevented
the appearance Of thia address in
The Messenger the day after it's de-
livery. The speech is chiefly a re-
view of the actions of the present
administration and a comparison of
its work with hat Of the present
predecessor. 1t has been
pronounced by those who heard it
delivered as an eloquent Grafton, such
as Governor Aycock is capable of
making. In cold type it is valuable
for the figures and statistics
which it contains in explanation of
the action of the administration and
its policy regarding several matters
of vital interest to the people.

GREENSBORO FEMALE COLLEGE.

We are glad to learn that there are
such bright prospects for the early
rebuilding and reopening of the
Greensboro Female college. The
alumnae association and the board
of trustees deserve great credit for
the energy displayed in bringing about
the restitution of this splendid insti-
tuition of learning. We hope their
anticipations will be realized and that
the college will be ready for the open
ing Of the fall session. The board
of trustees held a meeting in Green's
boro on the 23rd instant. President
Smith, Of the board, sends Us the
following account of the action taken:
AT a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of Greensboro Female college
held in Greensboro, n. c., on June
23rd, 1904, a report was rendered by
h secretary showing the financial
status Of the institution and the prog
ress made in securing it's bonded in
d~ebtedness, all of which were ncour
aging ana gratifying, n the outlook
foF the enterprise is promising. At
ter a full discussion by the board
the following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That 1T Is the sense of
his board that the movement to re-
build Greensboro Female college be
pushed with renewed vigor; that the
building committee be authorized and
directed to place orders for material
at once, ana the work of construction
begin as soon as the remaining S10,-
600 of the $50, 900 to be raised is
subscribed in order to insure the open
ing of the college at the fall term.
1904.
Resolved, That the board endorse
the resolutions adopted at the recent
meeting of the alumnae association
OF Greensboro Female college; and
that we hereby pledge to the alumnae
our heartiest sympathy and co-opera-
ton in the laudable efforts to rebuild
and re~-establish this time-honorei in
stitution of learning: and that we
earnestly appeal not only to the alum
nae, but also to all the friends of
Greensboro Female college at once
to make liberal contributions for the
rebuilding of the college to insure the
reopening at the fall session."

APPEAL TO CIRCUIT COURT.
Case Of j. p. Cuyler vs.. A. & N. @.
II. r. to Come Up Again.

Richmond, Va, Jun 25.-An ap-
peal was filed today in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in the
case of John P. Cuyler VS.. the Allan
tic and North Carolina Railroad Com
pany and the case will come up at
the next term of the court. The ap-
peal is from the decision of Judge
Purnell, of the United States Circuit
Court for the Eastern District of
North Carolina, who appointed receiv-
ers for the road and was made posi-
BILE by the order of Justice Fuller,
granting a Su~persedeas, which stayed
the r~eceivership proceedings and left
the property in the hands of h COM
pany. A bond Of $4,000 was requir-
ed of the defendants.
This proceeding has no connection
with the contempt case, which grew
out of publications by Editor Daniels
in the Raleigh News and Observes
concerning the railroad matter.

THE REPUBLICAN TA
PLANK.
Vii

The Washington Star, republican
newspaper and administration organ
quotes the plank on the tariff in the
platform adopted at Chicago last
week, which is as follows:
Protection, which guards and de-
veleps our Industries, is a cardinal
policy Of the republican party. The
measure OF protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad. We insist upon the mainte-
lance of the principles Of protec-
ton, and, therefore, rates of duty
SHOULD be readjusted only when con-
ditions have so changed hat the pub
lie interest demands their alteration,
but this work cannot safely be COM
mitted to any other hands than those
of III republican party. To intrust
it to the democratic party is to invite
disaster. Whether, as in 1892, the
democratic party declares the protec-
tive tariff unconstitutional, or wheth-
er it demands tariff reform or tariff
revision, its real object is always the
destruction of the protective system.
However specious the name the pur-
pose is ever the same. Democratic
tariff has always been followed by
business adversely; a republican tariff
by business prosperity. To a republi-
can congress and q republican presi-
dent this great question can be safely
~intrusted.
The Star in commenting on this
declaration says the tariff has been
made the leading issue in the APP
preaching campaign. All othee is
sues, it says, are handled with a
defniteness which leaves nothing to
be desired; but the tariff plank is
left open to a double Interpretation
IT is SO worded as to give satisfac-
ton to both "revisionistS' and
"standpatters." The advocates OF

We see from the Newton Enterprise

this city. This excursion will come
over the Carolina and Northwestern

ana reach Wilmington at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon-a ten hour run. AT
the same time, by the regular pas
senger schedule on h Seaboard sys-
tenn it takes about twenty-four hours
to go from Wilmington to Lenoir.

A temperance organization that at:
to mix in politics invites it's
own certain destruction. It's all
to have such organization, and
the men who compose it have an I'M
disputed right to their opinions; they
have a right to vote for or against
Amy candidate they may choose, and
for such as may be s~atisfac-
tory. But nobody has a right to in
lject temperance societies into the
political organizations of the state,
lany more than they would to make
IA religious creed a part of such polit-
Iical organization.

WHERE MONOPOLY Is HARMFUL

Lieutenant Raymond Stone, of h
navy, represents the sovereignty or
the American government in its far
away American government in the
mid-Paciic. He is the governor Of
the island of Guam.
Governor Stone does not seem TO
agree with h party I'm power or two
important matters-that monopoly is
beneficial TO trade and that high
prices make prosperous ines His
attention was attracted not long g
to the high prices the merchants
within his jurisdiction were charg-
ing for the necessaries of life, and he
made an investigation. He came to
the conclusion that there was a COM
bination by the merchants to place
prices abnormally high, and he issued
a proclamation which contained the
statement that " the government is
in receipt of information showing that
the existing exorbitant prices on food
stuffs, which are plainly not justified
by the necessity of he first cost,
freight, duties, ETC., are u to a form
of collision or coalition or the part
Of certain merchants of Agana, whose
keeping prices up" The ~proclama-
ton there expressed the hope that
the merchants would revise their
price lists at once and thereby obVi-
ate the necessity of government ac-
ton" The merchants of Agana did
not wait for an appeal to the
Washington government for this un-
republican declaration of principles,
but proceeded at once to take action
in accordance with the terms of the
proclamation.
This order would make a fine cam
paign document for the democrats in
this country. We suppose that if a
monopoly of the business of supply
ing food-stuffs to the American sub
jects in Guam has a tendency to
advance the prices to exorbitant fig
ures, and is, therefore, against the
interests of those subjects, similar
business schemes in the United States
would have the same results as to
our American citizens. But Secre-
tary Shaw and hat class of republi-
can politicians who claim that high
prices cause prosperous times. may
take the position that what is good
for the American citizens might be
harmful to the subjects of those
American citizens. We are supposing
that those people in Guam, as we'll
as the Filipinos, belong to the people
of the United States and not to the
government or the government Off
Gals.
We are afraid though that the adj
ministration will think it necessary to
take official notice of Lieutenant
tone action and call for an expla-
nation as to why he should AXE a
position Numerically opposed to the
chief tenets of the party in whose
hands are the reins of government.
We loo to see Lieutenant Stone lose
his position of governor Of Guam be-
cause of~his high-handed action in
this matter.

PROFITS OF ORGAN GRINDING.
New York italians Who Make 10000
Money" Turning the Crank.

New York Sun.-The hand organ
drawn by horse is, for the ilrst
time this summer, perambulatlns
over te Orange mountains and poking
into remote corners of Long Island
and New England. There are com
paratively few OF them, for such an
organ is expensive, and the mainten'
ance of the horse argues a degree
Of affluence not always existing
among organ grinders, although they
are class of people usually IN easy
circumstances.
A building near the corner of Park
and Mulberry streets changed hands
six or seven years ago for SS5,0OO,
The man who bought it had ground
hand organ in the streets OF New
York for 25 years He was an
Italian and had lived in Baxter street
all that time. The building he pur-
chased Is a tenement-house and he
goes out with the organ no more, de-
voting himself to the more congenial
task of collecting rents.
Most of the hand organ grinders in
New York live in Baxter street, and
they are largely Genoese, particularly
the women. There are generally two
persons to each organ, occasionally
one or three. Every organ big or
little. costs 81 day to rent The
smallest organs, those carried on the
back. cost not less than $500; the
larger ones, which are far more
numerous, cost more in proportion.
Therefore, one may set it down that
every organ he sees is earning 50 a
day, or the interest on an invested
| capital OF $780, sometimes $500 or
$500.
In addition it is supporting from
one TO three persons, pretty good
job for one little hand organ. As a
matter of fact, in good weather the
earnings of hand organ are SIS a
day, running up to Sc or 81. Rainy
! days are nearly dead loss; but there
are not many days when it rains all
day. On rainy days also the organ
