The Concord -Times.; - -,- . " ' r " . PUBLI8HEO EVERY THUR8DAY , . AT CONCORD. N. C. Bv JOHN B. 8HERRIUL, - Editor and Proprietor. We 'see it stated that , the mail of Southern Senators and Representatives is full of protests from ex-Confederate soldiers against the proposal of Senator Butler; to eive them federal pensions in.ior RutW has found, out .before k,UKVtS . this that the Confederates do not con aider themselves mendicants. 'They have gotten alonij for over thirty years without federal help, and they can con tinue todo so. The Southern people are nothing if not self-respectins:, and they are unwilling to put themselves in the attitude of paupers by asking alms from be United States government. Of course they could ask it on no other ground. The people of the South are dding a great deal toward takiDg care of the needy ex-Confederates and widows of those deceased. North Carolina has a Soldier's Home, and quite a sum s distributed every year in pensions. Eight here in Concord there is a band some ponument to the Confederate heroes who fell in battle. These things Bhow that our people revere the memory of the dead and are doing ' all they can for the comfort of the living. Senator Mason fired an unexpected bomb-Bhell into the ranks of the Philip pine annexationists when he offered, his resolution, starting with .a quotation from the Declaration of Independence, "Whereas, all just powers of govern ment are derived from the consent of the governed," and declaring that the United States will not attempt to govern tb.fr people of any other coun try without the consent of the people themselves or subject them by force to our dominion against their will. Unless the attitude of Aguinaldo and his fol lows changes widely from what the latest official advices state it to be, we ho vp ori in envern them bv force or not at all. i - ' j In the Philippines. Nashville Advocate; , Ini spite of the hopeful views which are expressed by the authorities at Washington , it becomes more and more evident that things are not altogether lovely in the Philippines. The treaty of neace which has just been signed obligates us to (procure the release of the ten thousand Spanish prisoners who are held by the insurgents. . That is easier said than done, Aguinaldo and bis followers do cot take kindly to the idea of civiD2 ud without some sort of ransom the foes whom they captured in battle. They are inclined to raise the cry of the American politician: "Where do wi come in?" Of course they will be cohiDelled to yield, but not, we fear, withejut at least a show-of force od our part Another incident of serious moment has taken place at Iloilo, the second citv of the archipelago. The Spanish General Kios, hearing that brigade of American soldiars was com ing to take possesion of tne place in accordance with the stipulations of. the treaty, evacuated it on the 2ith ult., and left it to be occupied by the insur gents. When the Americans arrived thirty-six hours later, they were greatly e surprised at the situation. It is not yet known jusi what measures they pro ceeded to take. If they should find it necessary to drive out the insurgents at the poins1 of the bayonet, it would be most unfortunate. As long, however, aa we make a show of holding the Phil ippines we must do it jeffectevely. Two sovereignties cannot exercise Ijunsdic tion in the same territory. The sooner the inatter is definitely settled, the better it will be for all concerned. Objectionable t I Women , Sent mlngton. ont of Wll WrLMtSGTON, N. C, Jan. 5. The city authorities haye begun an active crusade against houses of ill fame. Early this morning when these joints were in full, blast squads of police swooped down, upon three of them and nine of tfie female occupants, together with a number of young men, were placed tinder arrest. They were ar raigned before the mayor to-day and were given the extreme penalty of the law. the mayor stating that the judg ments would be suspended in each case provided the women would leave the city and never come back. To this the defendants agreed and officers were de tailed to buy their tickets and Bee them off, which was done. Several of the oc cupants who escaped arrest at the time of the raid were arrested to-day, and without J trial were sent out of town The mayor announced that the crusade -, would continue until tne community is rid of these resorts. . ". tlot Seeking Ewart's Place. Senator Pritchard denied Saturday em phatically, the published stories about his seeking the appointment of Judge in place of Judge Ewart, whose nomi nation is now pending in the Senate. The Senator Bays that he would not leave ihe Senate at this time, with Democratic Legislature in session under any circumstances. The Senator is not opposed to Ewart's confirmation, de spite statements to the contrary, and he Bays he has nothing to do with Butler's attack. When asked a direct qjestioo, Senator Pritchard said he believed Ewart wotild be confirmed by the Sen ate, and at not a very distant day. The Senate W1U Confirm the Peace Treaty, Washington Dispatch, 5th,; The friends of the peace treaty .to-day finished their poll of the Senate, disclos ing the fact that the convention wil have the hard and fast support of 62 Senators, or two more than the ncces Bary two-thirds. This number, they say, does not include eleven Senators who will probably support . the treaty, but whose convictions are not particu larly strong. The poll is said to show that but two Republicans, Messrs'. Hoar and Hale; will be found with the op position to tne treaty. It is thought that Governor Bus3ell is trying to make peace withthe incoming Democratic legislature by appointing Democrats to omce. it is said the gov ernor is 'mortally afraid of impeach ment. Whether actuated by "con scientious convictions or motives, of gain." the governor's actions are puz zling to Democrats and Republicans alike: Greensboro Telegram. THE LEGISi.ATDKE. BALEWi?, Jan. V.

They regard him as a renegad from those principles which lie far deeper than the issues raised by the civil war. They look upon him as an enemy of decent, clean and capabl government. Therefore, when he cornea np. with the audacity of a bribe for their, favor in the shape of his Confederate pension bill, they all feel like kicking him.

'The remedy is obvious and simple. The misguided inhabitants of our an nexed territory, who prefer something different from the plan; for their control which we propose, or who oppose our designs in ' their behalf, should be slaughtered.

Both these .regfments" are stationed in Macon, and we do not hesitate to say that a more,-utterly vicious -and worthless set of ruffiians never , served under the flag of the United States. . A number of - the soldiers In these regiments haye met richly? deserved deaths by reason of their assaults upon the person or property of -citizens of this State. TJiey have been a nuisance, a pest and a menace ever -since they were located ' in Macon.- When they passed- the bounds of toleration the good men of that community attended to them properly, but they have annoyed and disgusted the decency of Macon to an unprecedented degree. ' The Journal haa asked for weeks past why such regiments were not at 'once mustered out. They should never have been mustered in. - They must have been gathered from ihe scums of the owest order of population in the States to which they are credited, and it is hard to understand "how 'the administration has kept them saddled on the' govern ment so long. .However, we will go far toward forgiving the offense because the atonement of an immediate mustering out is offered. V ' Shot by an Officer. . Salisbury; Jan. 8.-r-Officer M. C.Tor renco shot one negro and used pbyical persuasion on another Saturday night about 10 o'clock. Walter and Tom Hen derson, the former a mail agent between Salisbury and Knoxville and the latter a member of the Third Regiment- of North Carolina Volunteers, both drunk and obnoxious ' characters, - .were ;. the principals. xne nrst-named for using violent and profane language. on the streets was warned by the - officer. He applied an ugly epithet to Torrence and awore he wouldn't be arrested. Mr. Torrence attempted to effect his arrest when the negro resisted and finally, aur rounded as he was by a dozen negroes, had to be shot in the thigh before . he could be taken. During the progrees of this struggle Walter Henderson advan ced upon Mr. Torrence with an ..object. in his. hand which was taken to be pistol. -.Mr. 'A. H. Moore, a bystander, halted him, however; and when his brother was taken into custody the same officer returned for him. He made a show of resistance but was sxn beaten into subjection. The wounded negro ia not seriously hurt. . . Free Fine. .... Send your address to H. E. Bucklen & Co., Chicago, and get a free sample box of Dr. King's New life pills.

Ba -&a - - Batter's Seat Changed. 8enator Butler,, of Norjth' Carpiina", will have a much better location in the Senate after the 4th ot March than he occupies . m . the present . &enate. iiis seat at present is number 74, in the .'ex treme rear of the Republican side i of the chamber, and is one . of the" most nn- ueeiniDie. in me Douy. it. w back to enable the'North Carolina Sena tor to catch Mr. Hobart's eye, perhaps, as often as he would like. - In the next Senate he wilT occupy the seat now heM by Senator Gray; of Delaware, which is in the front row of the Democratic side, being, the first seat from the center aisle, and the most desirable in the whole Senate. The transfer of , Mr. Butler, from the Republican to the pempcratic side of the Senate, while, without, any political significance, may perhaps work redemption in his political heart. The Senator at any rate .will be. excel lent company, having as his next neigh- bor,-8enator Morgan, of Alabama. r. -William Jennings Bryan, it is said. will have his own way and in a short time will sound the keynote of the na tional Democratic campaign of 1900, which will be silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The fieht aeainsts trusts and mon opolies and opposition to imperialism, colonization and expansion will be issues subsidaiy to that of silver. Silver JDem ocrats, silver Republicans and Populists are to join together in the contest ' and, as in 1896, Mr. Bryan will be the lead er.. This was settled upon at a meeting of the ways and means committee of the national Democratic committee at Chicago this week. TRUSTER'S, SALE.
