THE TRIP OCCUPIED sos DAYS

Portsmouth, N. H., Oct. 19-The
making a circuit of the globe, arrived
here today. AS the battleship was
warped into the dock the 'jackies' on
board and those stationed in the yard
gave vent to prolonged cheers.
The battleship Maine, on swinging
yard, ended, together with the battle
ship Alabama, which arrived at New
York today, the most spectacular
around the world cruise ever made by
a first class modern warship. During
the voyage, which was started from
Hampton Roads and which consumed
3OS days, the two vessels covered more
than 80, zoo miles.
The battIeship will remain Ports
mouth 26 days for docking and will
then further demonstrate her sea
worthiness by going on the North At
1antic station, as the flagship for a
month or two. Following this she will
go out of com mission after 3 years OF
arduous service.
Delight over the homecoming was
expressed on the face of every tackle
seen today. A clever machinist's mate
has prepared a history OF the cruise. il
was in the form Of a blue covered pam
phlet, giving complete data Oil the bat

coal and her engines had made approx

900 tons ot coal more than $50 shoves
were worn ont.

cANN0N's BARREL.

Newspaper correspondents who are
apparently in close touch with politi-
cal conditions in Joe Cannon's baiIi-
wick report that large amounts of
money are being turned loose in the
Danville district to secure his endorse
ment for reelection to congress.
Whence comes the money is not stat
ed, but there is widespread impress
sion that it is being furnished by the
in tel ests which Mr.. Cannon has per-
sistentIy served for years in congress.
These sources could easily afford to
invest big money in hard fight for
his selection; tor if ever man did
stand by client Mr.. Cannon has stuck
to the trusts during his speakership
administration. Indeed, his activity
sue in this campaign, and the wonder
is why the people didn't line up
against him with an irresistible wave
Of public sentiment before this.
It looks as if Cannon will be beaten.
That would be step in the movement
w
ton. it is almost startling to read in
cold print a comment like this from
one of the leading daily newspapers of
the country:
"Mr. Cannon has not made our laws
with an eye single to the prosperity of
the many, but rather with an eye
peeled in behalf of the few. He has
held up his end, legislatively speaking,
nearly, if not quite, as well as Nelson
B. Aldrich, who makes the other half,
or senate half, of our laws. Each law is
divided into two parts. Mr.. Cannon
making it half way and turning it
over TO Mr.. Aldrich for concurrence,
or Mr.. Aldrich 10 aking it half way and
turning it over to Mr.. Cannon for con-
currence.
'Mr. Cannon occupies unique po-
sition in the house. That is to say; he
is the house, just as one of the French
Kings was the state, the difference be-
ing that Louis said to himself, while
1t is natural that such a statement
should arouse resentment in the breast
of every patriotic American who
believes in Individual liberty and
government by the people which is it's
foundation. And yet the intelligent
observer of conditions at Washington
obliged to admit that statement is
a1gely true. Let him ask himself how
the laws which affect the interes of the
American people have been enacted by
congress for several years without The
consent of Joe Cannon and Nelson B.
AIdrich. And how many laws which
have played into the hands of the trusts
and the Interest have tailed of enact
ment when Joe Cannon and Nelson B
Afdrich w ere behind them? The record
" i'll show that these two men have
practically controlled congress so fas as
the enactment of laws affecting the
coun' ry at large and involving the ex-
ssnditure Of the peoples money is con-
cerned. Isn't it high time that the lsgis-
lative trusts were dissolved?

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

In as much as it hath pleased our
heavenly Father to call from among us
our beloved brother, friend and CO.
worker, Mr.. Hall Caldwell, be it, Re-
solved,
First, That we your committee in
behalf of Home Alliance do extend to
the bereaved family our heartfelt SYM
pathy in the loss OF so good, loving,
kind and affectionate father and hus-
band, and that we can offer no greater
consolation than the fact that, from the
pure and upright life he lived, and the
shining example he set before men and
his influence for good, he is TODAY
with the mberlsss host that have
washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb, and
that while he can be with them no
more on earth they can by following
his example join him one day, where
there will be no more sad parting, and
like him aud with him be led to foun-
tains of living waters.
lance has been brought face to face
with proof of mans mortality and
reminded of the uncertainty of lie
and the immu table certainty of death.
We realize that one of the chief corner
stones of our order is gone. He was a
charter mem ber and for nearly quar-
ter OF century his untiring energy in
behalf of the Alliance and his fellow
man shows that he not only endorsed
our motto, I'm all things essential
that it was one of the ruling princi-
pies of his life. The County Allia nee
has also suffered a terrible blow, as his
timely warnings and fatherly advice
were always a special feature of the AL
liam ce that was fortunate enough to
have him with them.
Resolved, third, That our sympathy
is due and is hereby rendered Thomas
Ruffin Camp U. G. V. of which he was
much loved and honored member.
He was a conspicuous member OF that
noble band of whom it was truly said,
'First at Bethel, fartherest in front at
Getty sburg and last at Appomatox >"
After the war was over none strove
harder for the promotion and main
i tainence of peace than he, and while
OF years allotted to man that they are
in one solid phalanx nearing the
waters brink, and that like their fear
less leader they will all soon have
'passed over the river and rest under
the shade OF the trees" Yet the loss
Of one of them causes a feeling of sad
less to come over those who love the
cause for which they suffered for four
long years.
Resolved, fourth, That the Presby-
terian church has lost one OF its bright
est and shining lights, of Whose life as
a Christian too much carnot be said.
Resolved, fifth, That the community
generally is bersft OF good and peace
| full citizen-one loved and honored by
one and all. His death has caused an
aching void the world cannot fill.
Resolved, six n, That copy OF these
resolutions be sent to the family, a
copy entered on the minutes of our
Lodge, and copy be sent to each of
the following papers for publication,
viz. Goldsboro ARGUS, GoIdsboro
Record and the Progressive Farmer.
