IN. NORTH CAROLINA.

PeOnle More Interested in Good ser-
 vice Than Low Fares.
 W. F. curtis's. Raleigh Letter to Chi
 caRo Record Herald. l..
 There has been decided reaction m public sentiment concerning 2-cent fares and other railway rate legisla- 2 ton in the Southern States. The poll ticians have discovered that they have overdone 1t; that their crusade agslnst the railways and the drastic legisla. tion enacted last winter does not meet with the approval of the people They realize that they did not estimate pup lie sentiment aectfSatelys aFad the State officials and political ieaders. are now now devising means to modify 1t and secure compromises with the railroad eompa. . nies which will command the approval of all concerned- ,
 The poi!tieaTf IIenders who have mis= led the public are endeavoring to cor rect their mistake as promptly as pos sible without, losing their prestige. They have a new Issue in the prohibi- tion of the liquor traffic which IS sweeping the South like a prairie fire, and if the agitation continues at It's nresent heat for two or three years longer it win not be possible to get dram of whiskey or glass of beer south of Mason and Dixon's line.
 The people gre not interested in the passenger rate question" said one Of the most prominent politicians of North Carolina, "antf they will not stand for the reductiorfs that were made by law last winter because they are convinced that the railway companies cannot give them the service they demand on that basis. They swant improvements rath- CT than lower fares; they would rath- CT have double tracks and prompt ser vice, and are willing to pay for It.. They are convinced that the railway companies have got to lay double tracks in order to maintain their time schedules and avoid accidents, and that they cannot afford to make these tm- provements if their receipts are cut down. Our Governor has been com vlnced of that fact also, and Is taking a very sensible course by consulting with the Governors of other Southern States. where similar conditions pre- vail and trying 10 secure cooperative action throughout the South.
 Prohibition is absorbing the entire attention of the South today. When free silver and the negro question were eliminated from politics the politicians took up railway regulation as an issue, but 1t wouldn't work; 1t wasn't popur lar, and they have had to drop it. Now everybody who wants an office is howl ing for what our Governor calls pro- high -bition,' and nobody thinks of any other question. The church people are all in it. women and children are marching in campaign processiens and peddling tickets. and~there Is no other political issue before the people. If the proliihitionists will nominate a Southern man as their candidate for Pres dent they will get every electoral vote in the South"

md example. taught that there was a

and example. taught that there was s reasonable use of liquor. It believes that the wine He used at the last Sup per was intoxicating. because Paul re- buked some of the early Christians for their incorporate use of wine at the communion table. In our view, Christ and his Apostles taught that the proper use of liquor was not crime Hence. we do not believe that 1t is :. just or a wise law to make It a crime to sell it.. Experience shows that human nature always rebels at such jaws and sets them at nought to greater or less ex- tent. The sale of liquor should be le- gal. but safeguarded in every conceiv- able way from evils arising from in temperance. Furth ermore, as the Scriptures point out. the drunkard should be punished. always and effec- lively. He is condemned to everlast- ing punishmentYby the Word of God, and man should start the process firmly; boldly. vigorously, on earth. If half the brains and energy and deter imitation now being devoted to the im- possible suppression of the sale of liquor were directed to enforcing exist ing laws upon it's sale and its abuse, ! mach more practical results would be obtained. There is too much theory and emotion in the present movement, and not enough common sense.
 l This is more than The Advertiser had intendsasto say on this question. but it is moved to define it's views as clearly
 as possible. by the letter of our friend inviting that course.

"This IS My 18th Birthday"
Grand Duchess OIgn <.

The Grand Duchess Olga, eldest child of the czar and Czarina of Russia, was born in the royal palace al St. Peters, burg on November Il, 1895. Her moth or. who was known before her mar rispe as Princess Alix, is the daughter of fhe late Grand Duke of Hesse and a granddaughter of the late Queen Victoria of England. She was married to Nicholas II in 1894, two weeks after he had succeeded his father on the Russian throne. Besides the Grand Duchess Olga the Czar and CzarIna have been blessed with three daugh- ters and one son. The iatFer is the little Grand Duke Alexis, ynow years old, and who will some day be called upon to rule the great empire of Rus sia, : The little Grand Duchess olga Is said to have inherited much of the hrmness of character possessed by her mother and also the more graceful qualities of her disposition. She Is of the refined, fair-haired; bloe-eyed type of beauty, with finely ehiseled features, a clear complexion, and fine, brught. laughing eyes.

what is swearing? Is a query which frequently comes up for adjudication in sssss courts, because saest States. # ret all, have laws on the subject. usually framed to prevent or punish the use of profane language in public. So. to change the form of the question lit- tie, we may ask, What is profane lam guage in the eyes of the law? We ask because of the following special to The New Orleans Times-Democrat:
 Jackson, Nov. 1.-The Supreme Court this afternoon had most unique decision to render in the case or Rosa Stafford vs. State. convicted or using profane language by the Circuit Court record in the case, Rosa was convicted of saying to another woman: Go to hell, you low down devil"
 The judge of the Circuit Court con- strued the language as profane under the statute, and sentenced Rosa to fins and Imprisonment. Justice Calhoon, in renderfng the opinion of the Supreme was good dictionary and not profane, and Implied no obligation. upon the plaintiff to comply herewith. The case was, therefore. reversed and remanded for a new trial.
 Now, 1t would be interesting to hear a debating society take hold of that proposition and discuss it from theiI different standpoints. Some jurists will contend that the woman did use pro- fane language. but they would find il difficult to prove it. All will admit t. al her words were offensive, improper and not nice, but did she really swear?

The President Fortunate

Washington Post.
 President Roosevelt is fortunate even in the financial stress that overcame the country some two weeks ago-that is to say. it was the zephyr to the gale compared with what Mir. Cleveland grappled with fourteen years earlier. The gold, which the treasury was oh- liged to supply. for under our paper currency system the government is the only concern in this glorious Union that maintains gold payments when a real, lusty panic Is abroad. On the other hand during the recent Hurry gold was started from Europe to our rescue. Then we sent abroad perhaps S20O, 100000 of the yellow metal. or more; by the end of the present month we will have imported from aoroao $50, 900. 900 of 1t, or more.
 In 1893 our securities Of all sorts- government bonds State bonds. rail- road stocks and bonds, and all other American obligations that did not have the word gold" written in thSn-were sent home, ordered to be sold for what they would fetch. and the price remit ted in god. That Is what made the panic-a loss of confidence in our in clination and ability to maintain gold payments-and the operation of the Sherman silver law justified the sus- picion. Had that thing remained on the statute books till this good day gold, for the lact ten years. would have been as much of a commodity as cot ton or pork and the American dollar would have huctuated in value with the price of pig silver on the London mar ket.

Monumental In Their Folly.

New orleans IlneS~ OeIlOCHAt.
 The folly of regulating" the im- mutable laws of commerce and trade through the enactment of restrictive statutes in the cotton-growing States has shown in such an unmistakable way By the recent trend of events m the cotton markets of the world that there is now every req son for believing that the intelligent farmer will no longer submit to the domination of the denla agogue, and that an effective halt will be called. In tHts connection, MT. w. L. Foster, the Louisiana member ot the Executive Committee of the South ern Cotton Association, and probably the largest cotton producer in this State. authorizes The mes-Democrat to quote him as follows:
 q believe the anti-tuture enactrnents by some of the cotton states in tn c mast year stand monumental in their folly, amount to a crime against tn S5tItfan.p Sott0n .parfH4a..asSSyE and avs cost him
 Thus the inevitable reaction is under way, and with 1t must eventually come a better day for the cotton industry of the Southern States, for, with such men shaping the thou ght of the masses a clearer conception of the broad in- fiuences that make OF mar the value of a crop must follow, and wisely con- eeived laws replace the foolish statutes of some of the States are now enforc- ing to the detrimene of their own citi-

TO-DAY AND THE FUTURE.

There is no real good ground of quar- rel with man in public life who is anxious to remain there if he should choose to study all phases of opinion and watch currents with the plain pur- pose of guiding his own conduct, &C., cordingIy as he may find the drift this way or that. The demagogue has al- ways been with us and will forever re- main with us. He exists and subsists by his skill in watching currents and falling in with them. A higher. class of man watches them and follows too in the hope of accomplishing something sound and good. It Is to a man of this kind that we must all feel tolerant. He is playing politics but with a pa- triotlc purpose.
 There is stiil another type of public man who believing he sees the right adheres to it. stands by it and courage ously awaits the judgment, not of to- day. but of the future. This type Of man Is our most useful man in poll. tics, whatever may be the fate of tie individual himself. He may be drowned in scorn and sneers and his spirit will live after him. accomplishing through other agencies what he had at heart. There are some men in the Alabama Legislature today who feel that the work they are attempting will be car rfed to a successful issue by others and they do not shrink from asserting the right, as they see it. There are others who going with tn D current are anxious to constrain if they cannot con- trol it's movement. These men are not tU be siespised for what they are try ing to do. That other class, the plain old fashioned demagogues, who live by yawping, are with us and they and the brood to follow will afflict the State until the crack of doom. The question before the individual member now is in which of these classes will he choose to stand?
 The future need net be locked into far to see there is a day of reckoning at hand for the individuals who are de- liberately working to destroy vast in- dustriai interests in this State with the expectation of bettering their own po- litical case. These aspiring citizens might one year ago with some show of reason have hoped they could build themselyes up by advocating a policy of tearing down industries rather than a policy of building them up. That day has gone by. The people of Alabama are thinking. The signs are every where that they are disgusted with the that they are looking for the quiet and the rest they need so badly to 8 far different class of men. Let us put the fact plainly. Governor B. B. Conner on an appeal today to the people of Alabama could not be elected. He has been a profound disappointment. His own conduct, in seeking new laws to supplant others of his own creation, confesses him a failure.
 VIII the Legislature engulf them selves along with him in the wave fast rising round him7 You can fool all of the people some of the time. You can fool some of the people all of the time. You cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Politics and Politicians

The Democrats of Rhode Island are well satisfied with the results of the recent election tn their State. Cover nor Higgins was reelected by ma tority larger than he received year ago and there were also some Demo- cratic gains in the Legislature.
 Timothy L. Woodruff, former Lieu tenant Governor of New York, attrib- utes the recent Republican victory in Brooklyn to President Roosevelt's strength there and sees in the result further evidence that the President will be obliged to accept renomination.
 Charges of peonage have been brought against James M. Smith. who was candidate for the Governorship of Georgia in the last campaign. Mir. Smith Is one of the largest growers of cotton in the State / The charges against him were made by a family of negroes. who allege that he has kept them in virtual slavery.
 If is now recorded as almost a cer- tainty in Kansas that Governor Hoch will be a candidate for the United States Senate tC succeed Chester / I. Long. The senatorial election will take place one year from next Janu- ary. Governor Hoch is serving his sec ond term, which will expire at that time and his friends believe that he can get in between the two Republi- can factions in Kansas and win the Senetorship.
