"What nonsense it is to attempt to place upon President Roosevelt's mes sage the responsibility for a stock gam bling panic in Wall street," indignant ly protests the republican press. And what nonsense it was to impute the financial panic of l$93 to the Cleveland admlnstratlon. But the republican press Insisted upon doing this, and does so to this day." Win3ton Journal. In spite of republican charges of ex travagance in the management of state affairs, the Aycock administration will close in a few weeks with a comforta ble balance of over three hundred thou sand dollars in the state treasury.

Some of our southern people and we say it with regret constantly conduct themselves toward the president in a manner that is neither dignified nor consistent. Statesville Landmark. The News does not wish to get into discussion upon Vardaman and Var- damanism. The governor of Missis sippi is a notoriety seeker, and does and says many things for effect. To argue? over him at length would be but to act in accordance with, his own desires. But when it comes to the perplexing question of etiquette as to whether he shall be invited to the in auguration, we most certainly think he should be. It is not Vardaman the man but Vardaman the governor of a great and sorerelgn state who should be requested to represent his common- ! wealth at the inauguration ceremonies. Charlotte News. We observe in ths published report of J the proceedings of the meeting in Sp tember of the New England Cotton Manufacturers' Association, held in New Hampshire, that Mr. D. A. Tomp kins, of this city, who was one of the speakers, "declared that labor in every line was better paid in the south than in sew England, excepting possibly in cotton manufacturing, and even there it was en a parity, while the cost and conditions of living wer-; more favora ble; because"Ynore wagej can be saved. opportunities to advance are greater and prosperity more universally : abounds".

This idea is not claimed as original; it was invented by a utilitarian theor ist, and a mere man, of course. But these women will not do it; nothing could induce them to see it that way. They will continue to pass in mental review before them, again and again, the names of people who must be re membered on Christmas morning, giv ing to each these searching inquiries: "Will she give me anything?" "What did she give me last year?" "What did I give her last year?" "What will Fhe give me this year, and how much, will present for her and a 76-cents present for So-and-So, or a $3.2S present for her and spend 9S cents on So-and-So?" They will still skirmish about the shops, pricing, ransacking, computing; they will still dream horrible night mares of receiving something from somebody to whom they have not given anything.

The nat'onal banking law restricts loins that a national bank may make to one Person or one corporation to 10 per cent, of the bank's capital stock; neverthe- less, these people loaned Mrs. Chadwick a sum of money amounting to four or five times the bank's entire capital. And they did it because she haxi prom ised them a hsandosme rate of interest for the bank and large bonuses for themselves. The avaricious, get-rich-quick spirit was upon them. They were willing to take chances for the sake of the profits they thought they saw. They gambled, and lost. Savannah t News. . i President Roosevelt is evincing a de termination to extend the bounds of dvli service "reform" preserve to in clude Pretty much everything not al ready corralled. His latest move in this direction is an executive order in cluding 355 subordinate consular posi tions in the classified service. If ihia order will have the effect of "making the consular service a sort of training j school, in which bright, efficient and amDit'ous young men oegm on tne ground floor and by dint of merit work the?! way to consulships, it will meet the hearty approval of the Amer- stantly beinjr given reason to lament the inefficiency of the consular service as a. promoter of our foreign trade.
