BRYAN AND THE CONFEDERATE
SOLDIER.

Recently Hon. Thos. E. Watson,
charged that Mr.. Bryan, when
member of Congress voted against
Crisp for speaker and gave as his
reagon that he was Il Confederate
soldier. Mr.. Bryan Indignantly de-
MED the charge.
IN a letter to the editor OF The
Peoples Paper, of Charlotte, MI.
Watson renews his charge against
Mr.. Bryan, as follows:
my Dear Mr.. Sossanan:
There is no doubt whatever that
Bryan made the remark about bis
reluctance 10 vote for an ex-Confed-
crate Soldier. He Is lodging the
issue. He did vote for Crisp, but
that was after the caucus nomination
had made 1t imperative that he
should do SO.
"It was during the contest between
the candidates in the caucus that
Bryan threw away his vote on
Springer, who was no longer in the
race. telling Mr. Lewis that he did
Got care to face old soldiers OF his
district with a record Of having
voted for an ex-Confederate.
''Mr. Bryan will not deny that he
used the language.
He shirks that question alto
gether.
Yours truly,
"THOS. K. WATSON"
To this, Mr.. Bryan has made nj
reply, and as Watson says, We dom
think he will, because he can't.
And judging by the action of thu
late State Democratic Convention
the Confederate soldier stands NJ
higher with the present Democratic
leaders in this State than will
Bryan.

your way clear to indorse j. B. Nor

County, for several years, has had
the proud and honorable distinction
OF being the banner Republican
County of the State, and for this rea-
son., we feel that we should have
some recognition from the hands
OF the Republican party in North
Carolina, and as we are asking for
the nomination of one of our citi-
Zens, to the least Office which is in
your power to give us, We feel that
we should be honored with this. But,
whatever you do, we have confidence
enough in our great Republican
party in North Carolina to believe
that 1t will be for the best, and we
conseientiously promise you that old
Wilkes will increase her majority
from 1850 to 1900. and if you
can make an increase In your coun-
ties of a like amount, we can elect
our entire ticket, together with the
Legislature, which will redeem Old
North Carolina from Radicalism.

THAT GROWING DEFTC1T.

July, the first month of the federal
fiscal year. showed a deficit of almost
$25,OOO.0O0. The month always shows
poorly in the reports. but deficit of
twenty-five millions. fortunately, is a.
rare occurrence even for July, and the
new year therefore opens rather bad
~ The entire fiscal year ending June
80 showed deficit of but sixty mill

bad report, although a good deal Of II

secretary of the treasury. as a paper

bookkeeping used by the government.
IL is hoped that as the times become
better In the commercial and indus
trial world the deficit will again give
way to surplus, but under the most
favorable conditions that can reason
ably be expected the government
FUNDS will not accumulate very randi
~ while the expenditures remain as
leaVy as they now are. Congress at
us last session spent literally and an
parehtly gave no thought to the i'm
portant question of to where the funds
are to come from. There is on hand
big surplus accumulated during
many years so that it will be some
time even at the present rate of def
CTS pefore all the government money
is gone, but this does not justify rock
less expenditures.
The New York Financial Chronicle
publishes table which shows that in
ten years the naval expenditures of
the country have risen from thirtv-
TOUR millions to one hundred and
thirteen millions, and the war de-
partment expenditures from fortv-
eight millions to one hundred and ten
millions. The total expenditures have
risen from three hundred and sixtv-
f1ve millions to six hundred and fiftv-
nine millions. The country is spend-
ing no win time of profound peace

spent during the Spanish war.

A COUNTRY OF LAWSUITS.

This is, fortunately. country of
law and, unfortunately, country of
lawyers. This condition accounts for
the consequent fact that it Is also a
country of lawsuits. Let any question
arise, where there are conflicting
opinions, and there is almost certain
to result a lawsuit. Where even every
consideration of the welfare of all
parties involved demonstrates that time
and money would be saved by COM
promise out of court the disposition is
almost invariably to fight in the courts.
We are litigious nation.
A penchant for litigation is really a
heritage of the American people. What
is the nature of most of our great
bulwarks? The right to have the law
on somebody. Magma Charta embod-
les chiefly that. So do the later monu-
ments of our liberties. They are great
rights surely-the protection of the
writ of ,habeas corpus, the right to
employ counsel. security for due pro-
cess of law. etc. They ought not to be
abated. Nor should we lessen the rev.
erence for courts, which Is indubitab bly,
becoming trifie impaired, but which
Is the more vociferously disclaimed
the more we feel the need for dis
claiming it. These rights surely must
not be weakened. But what a fine
thing it would be If the people were
content with the right to fight in the
courts without eternally invoking that
right. How fine If the country would
be one of law and not one. chiefly. of
lawyers and lawsuits.-Kansas City

KIN OF THE APACHES:

1t has been but a few years since
American army officers and soldiers.
instead of taking their summer work.
out IN practice marches, mimic wars
ana target practice, were sent to Ari-
iona, where there was always some
thlhS doing with the Apaches. OF
course there were occasional truces.
or temporary armistices, but the war
with that tribe never properly ended
until all the Apaches were rounded up,
ana put on the reservations, where
they could be kept under the strict
surveillance of American authorities.
over the line from Arizona, among
the mountains of Mexico, is another
tribe whose continuous depredations
suggest they are kin of the lately
active Apaches. This Mexican tribe is
the Yaquis, and ever since white men
have been attempting to exploit and
develop the mineral wealth SO abund-
ant in that part of Mexico, the, Yauuis
have been killing off miners and pros
pectors whenever they found a group
small enough to attack Mexica n
troops are after them most of the
time, of course, but as we were never
successful in properly policing the
Apaches, so the Mexicans fail to sup
press the Yaquis.. 1t was lately re-
ported that the Mexican government
had decided on a war of extermina-
ton. and then it was said this threat
so scared the Indians that they had
promised to be good, and Peace
reigned. But the latest reports are
that depredations sfhave again COM
menced, and the old condition of
danger prevails in the mountains of
northern Mexico. 1t is hard for a
