DECEMBER 15,1897. ood eeepc == The motber ot President McKinley died Sunday morning at her home in Canton, Ohio. She had been critically it for ten days, auring which time her death was elmost momentarily ex- pected. A reduction of 10 per cent in wages for 28,000 operatives of the cotton mills around Fail River, Mass., is not calculated to giye them any exalted opinion of the Dingley bill ard a high protective tariff. gaia oncom tee na Small pox is epidemic in Atlante, and the scare has spread out along the direct railroad lines through South aad North Cerolina. The excitement bas reached Charlotte anda general vace emation is going on as a precaution against the disease. A MIRACLE OF MIRACLES. What is the meaning of this pensicns app opriation of one hundred and forty one millions of the hard earned dollars of the people ? That greatest of figurers, Dingley, ¢ sbowed one aspect of it--total cost of the Government, $5 per capita; all the running expenses of the Govern- ment, $2.50; interest on the public debt, 50 cents ; pensions, $2 ! 975,000 one family in every fourteen in the, As there are pensioners, gountry is largely supported by a collection of $2 from each member of the other thirteen families. ° But a better way of realizing the arab is by means of the tables of the probability of human life used by our Hite insurance companies. Double the chauces ot lie as shown by these tables. . Assume that everybody who took part in the war wasalive end well at the end ot it. Assume that thé average age of the participants was only thivty two years in 1865, Assume that everybody in the arthy was married in 1860, Still you get this result ; There ought to be now alive less than and widows of soldiers who were wivest one hundred thousand soldiers at the end of the war. The outnumber — the probable survivors nine to one! A miracle! A York Woild. pensioners miracle !— New Call it a miracle it you want to, but it strikes us that a pure, unadulterated steal would be a better name for it. There never was a more gigantis fraud known among American people than this peneicn bueress. The very idea of the now paying persions, a third of a century after the Government war ended, to almost as many people as were in the entire Federal army, is @ palpable fraud, a disgrace to our Netion. ‘There are some just pension— ers, of course, who are entitled'to what they draw from the Government, ut the great majority of them on the list “Ihave no right to be. thera. People with a trace of honor about them would bounty. In his last message to Congress President McKinley recommended retrenchment in Government expendi~ tures in order to stop the growing deficit in the treasury. The first step in this direction should be a wiping out of this: pension fraud and let only deserving names be on the list. In this way much of the $14,000,000 now going for pensions could b3 saved to the (Jovernment. ‘Race RCRA TE RAEN A newspaper that is made the vehicle of personal spites, whether of tke ecitor of his readers, ought to be ostracised by the public. A newspaper with no higher aim then abuso or laudation or persons as individuals has no place in this world’s forces. The newspaper is Lot a police torce for the punishment of crime; it is rot the measure of .molars; it 1s net the promoter of personal ambitions; it 18 not the inquisitor to find out the hidaen evils of a community. It it is these things it is not serving the legitimate ends tor which it ougbt to be establish ed, and it ought to pass out of exis— tence. The 7 ewspaper of today is a moral force in educating public opinion, not in punishing crime. It is an educa- tion force in disseminating intelligence, not in ridiculing ignorance. It is a prometer of material prosperity by stimulating the izdustrious, not by abusing the indolent. It isa stimulant to good will in the community by seeking the good name of the people not by exposing their shortcomings.

Because it Wore Mourning. ee Charlotte Observer has run upon the following : . - A strarige bat true story is told of a certain Davie county postmaster. Re- cently a lady was expecting a letter informing her of the conditin ‘f a relatize who wes verv ill. After wailing several weeks for the letier she went to the post oif.e end asked the official to go over his mail carefully for her> He did so, but no letter was found. The lady then tcok matters into her own hands, as she knew the postmas- ter was ignorant and inefficient, and scarched the office. She finally found the letter put away in an out-of-the way corner. It had a black border and annonneed the death of the Jela~ tive. The postmaster’s excuse was : “That thing came a month ago, but I was goin’ to send ‘t to dead Jetter office, because it was tlack and I thought there was something wrong with it.” ASPECTALTY.
