''The real object of the Republican

Here is what the latest Fourth gives
MS in the way of mishaps:

The composite figures which come
from the tables of the Chicago Trl-
bune and Record Herald made up
to arrive at the fatalities and injuries
from Fourth of July celebrations all
over the country show that 40 per-
sons died of accidents due directly to
the use of dangerous explosives and
firearms. and that 1877 others sus-
tanned severe injuries. This is ex-
elusive of drownings, quarrels and
other occurrences which are not dis
tinctively Fourth of July mishaps.
A year ago the list of casualties
published the day after the Fourth
showed forty-eight dead and 3,43l in
jured In twenty-four hours these
figures had gone up to fifty-two Killed
and 1865 injured. AS compared with
last year, the deaths this year show
little abatement of the ravages of the
celebration, but in the number in
jured there is a very marked decrease,
the falling off being forty per cent.
In both fatalities and injuries the
East makes a better showing than
the West. There were only seventeen
deaths out of forty-Six east of the AL
leghanies. There will be reports of
deaths from lock-jaw, it is expected,
for two weeks to come, but physicians
believe the number of victims will be
materially reduced on account of the
unusual precautions taken to prevent
infection by the deadly germ of teta-

BANKING RESOURCES OF NORTH
CAROLINA.

In another column will be found a
reprint from the Corporation Com
mission Report of the condition of
the banks in this State, other than
National Banks, to-wit: State Banks,
Savings Banks and Private Banks,
separately and combined, a careful
perusal of which statements will be
found interesting, instructive and en-
couraging.
1t will be noted that the total re-
sources are $29.416,5S0.S6; that the
total deposits, including those subject
to check, time certificates, demand
certificates, cashiers checks outstand-
ing, cashiers checks and trust de-
posts, amount to $21, 465, 020.52; that
the available cash in vaults and due
from other banks is about $5,00O,000
or nearly 25 per cent of such deposits.
This is equal to the requirement which
the National Banks must meet under
the National Banking laws.
The capital stock is $4,771, 704.66
and the surplus, with undivided
profits, is 1851, 54S.92, which is about
35 per cent of the capital. In other
words the average book value of each
500 share of stock of the banks in
this State (other than National Banks)
is about $135.
The statement indicates that the
funds of the banks are kept we'll en-
ployed, and that the banks of North
Carolina are in sound and healthy
condition.

NEGRO POPULATION INCREASES.

Figures are reminders that some
times stagger folks. for in the face of
them, their correctness unchallenged,
every argument against that which
they demonstrate must pass away.
The figures in the final bulletin
based on the census of the negro pop
uIation in the United States in 1900
reveals with out any question that
the black man has not the penchant
of the red man for dying out neither
has he the disposition to stand pat
i'm his numerical strength.
The negro population shows a
steady growth, the percentage being
far in excess of the death rate. The
figures of 1900 are to be added to in
the past three and a half years, yet
in 1900 these showed that in the ter
ritory of the United States and our
dependencies" their number amount
ed to 9,204,531, this being the largest
number ever included in census re-
port of this country.
The figures given represent an in
crease of 1,345,31S during the last
ten years, gain of 8 per cent. This
was made despite the very high death
rate of 80 per cent. as contrasted with
the death rate for the whites of only
II per cent. That the negroes over
came the death rate of 80 per cent
and made n actual gain in population
of Is per cent. is a remarkable testi-
mpny to their productivity.

st. Louis, July Cool" Michael
C. Padden, of the Bowery, big Tim"
Sullivan's military secretary distin-
guished himself in the National con-
vention today by stirring up a big
rumpus and being thrown out of the
convention His badge as assistant
sergeant-at-arms was taken away.
Padden was the man who leaped
into the centre of the main aisle of
the convention hall when the Cleve-
land yelling started and, streaming
like an Indian and waving his long
arms like fails, egged on the shout
ing, John l. Martin, the heavyweight
sergeant-at-arms, went for him ana
hustled him Noff the scene.
Padden's official connection with
the convention, which had it's climax
in his expulsion from the hall, was
quite a picturesque affair. When the
Tammany people began to suspect
that they were not going to get all
the badges they wanted they sent
the name of Padden to the National
committee for appointment as an as
sistant sergeant-at-arms. Padden was
Amounted and a green badge with his
official designation on it sent to him
This morning the tip was given out
TO all the Tammany braves who were
disappointed because they couldn't
get tickets that Mike" Padden would
be on the Olive street door ego to
him and it will be all right" was
the word.
Padden is a husky chap six feet
tall. and a hustler who was suited 10
his job. When great swarm or men
with Tammany badges began to pour
into the hall this morning some OF
the other ushers and doorkeepers
didn't understand it, but they salo
nothing. No Tammany man VINO
wanted to get in and went to the
Olive street door was turned down
There were two other Tammany men
in the convention as assistant ser
geant-at-arms and they passed the
Tammany men along.
When the, cheering for Cleveland
began Padden rushed into the centre
aisle and began shouting at the top
of his voice to the delegates:
"Come on! Come on! Cleveland!
Cleveland"
He ran from one delegation to an
other shouting like mad. His tau
form was seen by everybody IN the
convention hall and in the galleries
Finally he ran up in front of the I'M
diana delegation, yelling: Gomez
come on. YOU peoplei Cleveland"
A white-haired delegate shouted
"Sit down."
II won't sit down and no mug like
YOU can make me do it," PaddeH
yelled defiantly at the old man.
The chairman of the Delegation
took off his spectacles and started to-
ward Padden with business-llke
look in his eyes. 1t was just at TINS
moment that Sergeant-at-Arms Mar
tin. who had been trying to quell ths
disturbance. saw PaGden's badge
Then he made a rush for him. Martin
is a Kansan and doesn't stand on
ceremony He seized Padden with
one hand and grabbed his badge with
the other.
"Stop that" shouted Padden.
"Not much!' said Martin, who
though an old man. tossed Paddcn
around like a sack of meal. "Out you
go!'
Martin called a policeman and to
him Padden exclaimed, HE hit me!
Arrest him.
You bet l Cid. and III do it agar
if you don't shut up!"
Two policemen ran Padden out OF
the hall in jiffy.
