If the Democrats ever entertained
any hopes of nominating q candi-
date for the presidency whom they
thought could .win-those hopes
have vanished, and they will be
satisfied if they can nominate man
who can carry his OVID State. The
following from the Wilmington Star
tells the story:
Here are three Democrats, either
of whom could carry his own State
If nominated for President George
Gray, of Delaware; John A. John,
son, of Minnesota William J. Gay
nor, of New York. Gould Mr.
Bryan carry Nebraska Gould b
carry New York? Add have the
Democrats any hope of success with
out the electoral vote Of New
York ?"
The Star names three gentlemen
whom it says could carry their owr
State. But. alas neither Of thest
gentlemen will be nominated. Nov

Mr.. r. B. Glenn in his speech in
Raleigh, August 18th, 1904, said
that the height of his ambition was
to be Governor of North Carolina.
But since Mr.. Glenn has been Gov
ernor of the State for nearly three
years, his ambition has grown lit
tie higher, and now it is stated that
the Governor is aspiring to be Uni
ted States Senator to succeed Senator
Overman. Should he get to the
Senate no doubt Mr.. Bryan would
then get uneasy for fear the Gov
ernor's ambition might take another
rise.

Common Sense Returning.
Washington Post

washington fOst.
Reports from all parts of the Uni
ted States indicate that the climax of
the money scare has passed. Com
mon sense is rapidly asserting itself
in places from which it has fed. No
one, whether Q millionaire or q pau-
per, denies that the country as q
whole is prosperous, with big crops,
big prices and plenty Of business for
the railroads and the merchants.
The treasury is full Of money. No
one dreams that the nation Is in q
bad way. No one can be found who
does not believe the country as q
whole can weather any gale that has
ever blew. The products Of the
United States are needed abroad, and
foreigners must pay gold for them.
ALI this is understood and conceded
on every hand. It is only individ-
ual timidity that has occurred.

Chinese Ed ucation.

There are no free schools in China
and if there were they would have
no pupils. The poor people educate
their own sons and daughters, and
1t does not take them long. When
a boy can count up to ten, tell the
difference between kiods Of money
and can catch fish or snare q duck he
is thought to have all the education
needed. When q girl can sew and
wash dishes and tell the time Of day
by the clock she must ask for no
more.
If one were to ask one thousand

tries comprised the world, the an
swer would be that China was the
whole show.-New York Sun.

Bids for the fifty million dollars
of Panama Canal bonds, issued by
the government, were opened by the
Treasury Department at Washing
ton Saturday. There were over three
thousand bids and the loan was

ment or in its ability to meet its
obligations. Such was not the case
when bonds were issued under Gro

''pRonIBITIos. pouTIcs AND
MORALS"

The following from the Whining
ton Messenger Ii we'll said:
"A State exchange remarks that
'the politicians are now all proh1bi-
tionists, and sometimes 1t looks as
If all prohibitionists were politi'
cians.'
"The first proposition is very near
correct, for mighty near all the poll
ticians think they know the way
the cat is going to jump. and they
reason II out that they will stand
better chance for political prefer
ment In the future If they are al
ready on the other side Of the fence
to welcome the cat when she makes
the jump than they would If they
made tardy leap in the wake OF
the tall of the cat.
"The second proposition of the
exchange quoted is not 30 one sided
It Is true there are some shrewd
politicians among the prohibition
lists, as there are some on the other
side, and there are some who were
early arrivals in the camp who are
working the racket for ell 1t Is worth
politically; but all are not OF this
class there are many sincere and
earnest seekers after and workers
for moral reform-persOns who de-
serve and should be given Iull credit
for sincerity and singleness of pur-
pose In their efforts to do " hat they
believe to be for the good Of all peo-
pie in their community. If these
people could do so they would keep
prohibition out of politics, but un-
fortunately they are not generally
prime movers or the leaders in the
cause, and they soon find themselves
engaged in political contest hav-
ing no connection whatever with
the cause of prohibition, and which
they had no idea would be thrust
upon them when they entered what
they were led to believe was only a
movement for a moral REFORM"
We remember when the Anti
Saloon League was organized that
the Democratic politicians attended
the meeting in great force and spoke
very encOuragingly of the move
ment and asked the temperance
forces to let them, the politicians
make their fight for them. After
winning the confidence of some Of
the real temperance leaders the poll
ticians set about to stay off prohibi
ton and have dispensaries estab-
lished instead of prohibition. o.
course these politicians knew tina
the dispensaries would be managed
by their political henchmen anC
would be used as recruiting stations
for the Democratic ring. The politi-
cal leaders have STAYED off an cleo
tion on prohibition in Raleigh al
long as possible, and have used al
kinds of methods to prevent thu
election from being called, but wher
they saw it was going to be called
over their protest, they at ono
jumped on the band wagon and be-
gan whooping it up for prohibitio
OF course, it is needless TO say tina
the News and Observer is NOW 70
prohibition In Raleigh.
The election has been called 70
the Goth of December, and Will
we do not favor the dispensary, es
pecially under present day mau
agement, we hope that very ma
will be accorded the right to boil
his own views on the question with
out being harassed by either side
Morally speaking, the dispensary is
miserable failure; financially speak
ing, 1t is blooming success.
