A
TAUT, XKIIS1! AND TIMELY,
It is now generally conceded that Col
Bryan will be nominated by acclama
tion by the Kansas City Convention.
James R. Keene, the big New York
speculator, who supported McKinley in
'96, called down a Republican bluffer
the other day by offering to bet $,500
to $10,000 that Bryan would defeat
McKinley.
How comes it in theBe times of piping
prosperity, and good stealing in Cuba,
that the Lincoln Republican club, of
Cincinnati, has gone into bankruptcy?
Senator Morgan hit some benators
when he demanded an investigation of
the New Panama Canal Company, or
can i zed under the New Jersey laws.
Such an investigation properly made
would unearth some sensational crook
edness and would show why canal legis
lation favored by nine-tenths of the
people of this country has been re
peatedly hung up in Congress.
More tnan one-tmrd 01 tne total re
ceipts of the island of Cuba is spent in
salaries of civil employes. How is that
for a bit of Republican extravagance?
Some rather plain hints have been
given in Congress of the existence of
the belief that official stealing in the
Philippines has been even worse than
in Cuba. Yet the Republicans refuse
to allow Democratic propositions for a
Congressional investigation to be
adopted. If this attitude of the Repub
licans isn't a disposition to shield some
body, what is it ?
Mr. McKinley would be excusable for
becoming disgusted and throwing up
the whole business, allowing Hanna to
take the Republican nomination and
tne licking that will follow it.
Mr. Wharton Barker has been giying
Hanna's game away, by telling that his
nomination was intended to take votes
away from Col. Bryan. This isn't new,
but it ought to be a Useful hint to some
voters.
Six Republican members of the Ohio
delegation in the House have been de
feated for nomination, and two others
are making a doubtful fight. That
doesn't indicate the presence of "pease
and hominy" among the Ohio Re
publicaws. Instead of talking about what they
are going to do to the trusts at the next
session, why do not the Republicans in
Congress do something to them now;
they have a majority in both branches
of Congress, and they ought to know
that the people are anxious to eee some
thing done to the truste!.
Mr. Clark, of Montana is finding the
Senatorial road a hard one to travel; he
has enemies at both ends.
The Clsar-Shaped Train Not a Succe.
Baltimore Special to Philadelphia Record.
An official trip of the Adams air
splitting train on the Baltimore tfc Ohio
Railroad, between this city and Wash
ington to-day, was not a success so far
as speed was concerned. On the run
from Washington to Baltimore the
cigar-shaped train of one baggage car
and five passenger coaches, made the
trip of 40 miles in 40 minutes and 15
seconds.
The same locomotive that drew the
train on this trial run had earlier in the
day taken a train of three regular cars
from Baltimore to Washington, 40
miles, in 38 minutes. The engineer
said to-night that he believed in another
trial with the cigar-shaped train he
could make the 40 miles in five minutes
less time. Mr. Adams, the inventor cf
the "air-splitter," has been hoping to
make a speed of 100 miles aq hour.
Honor to Whom Honor Ik Due.
Progressive Farmer, Populist .
No one has more severely condemned
the present election law than The Pro
gressive Farmer. We believe, however,
that it should have credit for each and
every fair provision it contains. It is
being charged that it gives to the Dem
ocrats all the judges of the election. The
charge is untrue. The law says that the
county board of elections shall appoint
two persons "who shall act as judges of
the election at each place of holding
elections in their respective districts,
each of whom fihfill he men of cnnrl
charactar and able to read and write,
and they shall be of different political
parties."
A Cyclone at lieaufort.
Beaufort, May 24. A cyclone struck
Morehead City depot this morning at 6
o'clock. Its approach was unnoticed
and it only lasted five minutes, but dur

of the Samuel Buchanan, a large two

and the men who were on the wharf
only saved themselves by clinging to

200 pounds as high as a man's head,
and dropped them with such force that
they were crushed to pieces.

The Populist and 3Ir. Bryan.
Baltimore Sun.
That the Fopulists are willing to vote
again for Mr. Bryan is no reason why
the Democratic party may not nomi
nate Mr. Bryan as its candidate also.
Mr. Bryan personally claims to be a
Democrat and not a Populist. He can
not be both. He may have strong
Fopulistic leanings and sympathies, but
thus far all his political affiliations have
been with the Democracy. He was
admitted as a delegate from Nebraska
to the national Democratic convention
at Chicago, which subsequently nomi
nated him as a candidate for the presi
dency. That was on the 10th of July,
1S9G. The Populist convention did not
meet at St. Louis and adopt him as the
candidate of the People's party until
July 12. This year the Populist con
vention, meeting in advance of the
Democratic convention, signifies the
willingness of that party to accept the
sane candidate again. If Mr. Bryan
should again be the Democratic candi
date, the more votes he receives the
greater his chance of election. If the
alternative is to be the re-election of
Mr. McKinley and the endorsement of
the McKinley policv of imperialism and
militarism, it will be no objection to
Mr. Bryan's candidacy that the votes
of half a dozen different parties may
be concentrated upon him as the most
available candidate to arrest the tide of
imperialism and rescue the country from
four years more of McKinley ism.

LESSON X, SECOND QUARTER, INTER
NATIONAL SERIES. JUNE 3.
Text of the Ltuon, Math, lx, 35, to
x, 8 Memory Verses, Chapter ix
80-38 Golden Text, Math, x, 20,
Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns,
Copyright, 1900, by D. M. Stearns.
Ix, 35. "Teaching, preaching, healing,
Thia seems to have been His unvaried
way, "Anointed with the Holy Ghost
and with power, He went about doing
good and healing all that were oppressed
of the devil, for God was with Him'
(Acts x, 3S). As the Father sent Him
eo lie sends us, aud it is intended that
the life of .lesus should be manifest in
our mortal bodies (John xvii, 18; xx, 21
II Cor. iv, 11). But He was ever filled
with the Holy Ghost and with power,
and this is too costly for the majority of
Christians, for it means none of self
none of the world and a life wholly for
Him.
3G. "When He saw the multitudes lie
was moved with compassion on them."
This means not simply sorry for them
but ready to bless them at great cost to
Himself, even at the cost of Ills own
life; yea, more than that, for He was
ready to take their place as sinners and
die in their stead, and this lie did in due
time. W hat are we ready for in the line
of compassion that costs something?
Two men stood by a third who was in
trouble and in need. One of the two said
to the third, "I am very sorry for you.'
The other of the two handed the poor
man
37, 38. 'Tray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest that ne will send forth la
bourers into the harvest." He had just
said, "The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the labourers are few." See what He
said about harvest and reaping and sow
ing and fruit unto life eternal in John lv,
35-38. This seems a little strange, for
the field is His, the harvest Is His, and
why is it that we are to ask Him to send
laborers into His harvest field? He
makes us joint heirs with Himself, labor
ers with God (Rom. viii, 17; I Cor. iii, 0),
and we are expected to be interested in
the field with Him. Father, Son and
Spirit have made us one with themselves
that is, those who have received the
Lord Jesus as their Saviour and they
are ever 6aying, "Whom shall I send
and who will go for us? But how few
reply: "Here am I. Send me" (Isa. vl, 8).
x, 1. "And when He had called unto
Him his twelve disciples He gave them
power against unclean spirits, to cast
them out and to heal all manner of sick
ness and all manner of disease." Com
pare Mark iii, 13-15; vl, 7; Luke lx, 1, 2;
and see Luke x, 0, concerning the seventy
whom He sent forth. The chapter in Mat
thew from which our lesson is taken is
divided into three sections, each ending
with the words verily, I say unto you
(verses 15, 23, 42), the first concerning
judgment, the 6econd concerning punish
ment of enemies and salvation of His
people and the third concerning reward.
Some think that the first section (verses
5-15) gives special directions for apostolic
times; the second (verses 10-23) gives di
rections for the gospel ministry in all
ages, while the last (verses 24-42) Bpeaks
of the service of Christ in its fullest and
widest sense, ne called these twelve
that they might be with Him and that,
going forth, they might go from Him
(Mark iii, 14). Whatever power they had
He gave it to them.
2-4. These are the names of the twelve:
two Simons, two Jameses, two Judases,
Andrew, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Thomas and Matthew. Bartholomew is by
John called Nathanael; the other Simon
is called Zelotes; James, not the brother
of John, is called son of Alphreus, and Ju
das, not Iscariot, is the brother of James
and in our lesson Lebbseus Thaddoeus
(Luke vi, 15, 1G). It would be profitable
to consider what we know of each of
these, but the great thing about each one
was that the Lord chose them to bear
nis name and to bear abiding fruit to
His glory (Acts ix, 15; John xv, 16). Aft
er being nearly three years with Him
they did not know Him (John xlv, 9; xxi,
15), and by all nis teaching were not
qualified to be His witnesses until they
were filled with His Spirit (Luke xxlv,
49; Acts i, 8). In verse 1 they are called
disciples and in verse 2 apostles. It
seems to me that the distinction between
believers disciples and apostles is very
simple and clear. All who truly receive
Him are believers and saved (John i, 12;
iii, 16). To be a disciple means to give
Him pre-eminence over father, mother,
son or daughter or one's own l!e (verses
37-39; Luke xiv, 20, 27).
5, 6. "These twelve Jesus sent forth."
Notice that they were commanded not to
go to gentiles or Samaritans, but only to
the lost sheep of Israel. In chapter xv, 24,
He said. I am not sent but unto the
lost sheeo of the house of Israel." If we
would understand His teaching, we must
notice that until Israel rejected and kill
ed Him the good news was chiefly fpr
them, but after His resurrection He com
manded that all everywhere should hear
(Math, xxviil, 19; Luke xxlv, 49; Acts I,
8). His purpose 6tands and shall be ac
complished that the world shall be bless
ed through Israel (Isa. xxvii, 6; Bom. xi,
12, 15), but while they are as a nation
scattered and desolate, because they re
jected Him as their Messiah, He is gath
ering from all nations a people for His
name who shall in this present time glori
fy Him and then reign with Him for
ever (I Pet. h, 11; Kev. v, 9, 10). Those
who are willing to be wholly His, as His
faithful witnesses, must be content to
b as sheep in the midst of wolves and
must learn to be wise as serpents and
harmless as doves,' not fearing to die tor
His sake. . -

Ol'Il WASHINGTON LKTT1CH.I
Special Correspondence.
The War Department has sent to the
Senate an answer to its resolution
tion adopted more than four months
ago, asking for an itemized occount of
expenditures in Cuba. The answer,
though somewhat extended, is by no
means satisfactory to those who wish to
know iust what is going on down there.
But its revelations, so far as thay go,
are startling. For instance, one item
sent in is for $3, GOO to Gov. Gen.
Brooke for house reot for one year.
This is in addition to the $7,500 which
he drew as an army officer, and the
$7,500 allowed him as addition il salary
from the Cuban funds, so that his in
come, which is also the income of Gov.
Gen. Wood, reached $18,000 a year, an
amount larger than is allowed to the
Ambassador at the Court of St. James,
and in fact, larger than any salary
allowed by the United States except that
of the President. The total salary sal
aries for the island for six months
aggregate $1,208,535, more than one
third of the total cost of the island, and
this does not include $1,377,000 for
unskilled labor, and includes nothing
paid to the United States officers and
troops. Another item is some $361,000
for building a railroad less than six miles
long over almost level ground, with no
payment for the right of way. The
other statements, especially those con
cerning the Post Office are quite as ex
travagant. Moved by the sharp criti
cism passed upon the statement,
Assistant Secretary Mieklejohn gave
out an interview intended to break its
force. In this he asserted that the total
expenditures in Cuba for 1899 would
not exceed $11,798,740. Ihis positive
statement might well be accepted as an
accurate account of the disbursements,
were it not for the fact that the Assist
ant Secretary of War, in making it
public, evidently overlooked the fact
that the Secretary bad previously re
ported to Congress what purported to be
a truthful statement of the same ex
penditures, in which he placed them at
$14,085,S05. In other words, the more
statements are given out, the clearer it
becomes that the Department really
knew nothing of the way things were
going in Cuba, but was content to sit
quiet and let the Rathbones and the
Neeleys run matters for the benefit of
their own pockets.
The question of headquarters for the
Democratic National Committee this
fall is again agitating the members of
that body. In 189G, headquarters were
in Chicago, where a bureau is still
maintained and where the records are
still kept. Chicago is yery convenient
for campaign purposes, bat it is notori
ous tbat in 1S9G the Democratic Na
tional Committee fund it practically
mpossible to get anything like fair
treatment from the press of that city.
Hostility was carried to such an ex
treme that bulletins issued from the
headquarters, announcements by Chair
man Jones issued in quotations under
hie own name, were changed and dis
torted in print so as to quote him as
Baying something utterly - at variance
with what he actually said. Typewritten
announcements were changed so as to
make them say directly the opposite
to what they contained and thus dis
torted, were credited as official from the
Democratic headquarters. Chairman
ones was utterly helpless to reaih the
ear of the public, except through such
brief dispatches as were sent out by the
Associated Press. It was almost im
possible for newspapers anywhere in the
country that did not send special men
from their home offices to get even the
current routine announcements correct
ly Btated. It was almost unknown out
side the headquarters what the national
committee was doing. Men who had
distorted matter given out, changed
quoted interviews and misrepresented
things generally, would simply laugh in
the face of Chairman Jones or any one
else who taxed them with it, treating
the matter as a great joke or a smart
thing. Of course Mark Hanna and his
corruption fund ware back of this and
will be again if the Committee should
go to Chicago. On the other hand,
this city, to which the Committee will
probably remove, is geographically in
convenient but is eminently fair in its
politics. The Washington correspon
dents are partisans but they are honest
partisans and do not distort matter
placed in their hands. This is regarded
as a matter of gieteat importance and
there is a strong sentiment in favor of

putting the headquarters here. About
the only objection raised ia that it will
involve tearing up root and branch the
organization in Chicago and the trans
portation of all material assembled there
to this city. By those who favor Wash
ington this is regarded as of minor im
portance compared with the advantage
of being located where they will be sure
to receive fair treatment.
The atrocious unfairness of the Re
publican members of the Judiciary
committee s attempt to make it appear
that the Democratic members were
composed to anti-trust action, is shown
forth by the minority report filed by the
latter. It seems that the majority re
solved itself into a subcommittee ex
eluding the Democrats in much the
same way that is followed by both parties
when a tariff is framed, and prepared
the amendment to the Constitution and
the 24 page report thereon and sub
mitted them to the House without per
mitting the minority even time to read
them, or in fact to lay eyes on them for
more than about ten minutes before
they were shoved in. Naturally, the
Democrats objected to endorsing so im
portant a proposition without at least
reading it. and at once the news was
sent broadcast over the country that the
Democrats opposed anti-trust legislation
As a matter of fact, the Democrats do
object to the proposed action net be
cause it is intended to strike at the
trusts but because it is nothing more
nor less than a smooth Republican
campaign trick. The minority report
says that when it is found that the chief
of those whose duty it is to prosecute
offenders against that law persistently
"fails and refuses to prosecute any of
them, the question arises: "Are we
suffering most from a lack of law or
power to make law, or from a lack of
officers willing to enforce the law? We
uhould not drop into the notion of con
sidering the law futile," the report says,
"so long as we are afflicted with execu
tors ot tne law who will not so much as
try to execute it." The law now on
the statute book has no officers to exe
cut3 it, though officers are so plentiful
that they jostle one another in their
overcrowding.
A OoiiM Itulional Amendment to Give
Congress Power to Deal
With Trust.
Washington Dispatch.
The House committee on the judici
ary has adopted by a strict party yote,
the Democrats voting in the negative, a
constitutional amendment giving Con
gress power to define, regulate, control,
prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopolies
or combinations, in corporation form or
otherwise. The amendment as reported
to the House follows :
"Article 16, section 1 All powers
conferred by this article shall extend to
the several States, the Territories, the
District of Columbia and all territory
under the sovereignty and subject to
the jurisdiction of the United States.
"Sec. 2 Congress shall haye power
to define, regulate, control, prohibit, or
dissolve trusts, monopolies or combina
tions, whether existing in the form of a
corporation or otherwise. The several
States may continue to exercise such
power in any manner not in conflict
with the laws of the United States.
"Sec. 3 Congress shall have power
to enforce the provisions of this article
by appropriate legislation.
Negroes Attack Tillman.
Washington, May 24. Senator
Chandler today presented "a petition
from 16 ministers of South Carolina,
calling attention to the political con
ditions in that State, declaring that
the colored residents of South Caro
lina are disfranchised. It refers to
the speech of Senator Tillman, in
which he acknowledged that the white
men took control of the State of South
Carolina and "bulldozed the niggers"
and "were not ashamed of it."
The petitioners are "exceedingly
pained to think that in the chief law
making body of the nation our State
is represented by one who makes such
an unabashed and blunt avowal of
high crimes against the constitution
of his country while outraging the
feelings of ten million citizens of this
republic." For correction of abuses
the petition asks for legislation to' re
duce the representation of States in
Congress where the colored vote is
nullilied and the appointment, of a
committee to investigate conditions
in South Carolina.

Republican Convention for tlie'rJ
District.
Clinton, N. C, May 18. It was a
surprise; no one knew of it until the
"dilegates" arrived on the evening of
the 15th. They stopped at the Clinton
Hotel the whites ones did. The col
ored brother was abundant, but the
Lord only knows what hotel engaged
his patronage. They caucussed the
erenmg of the 15th, remained in session
nearly all night and began again early
on the morning of the lGth, until about
noon, when they strolled off in pairs,
generally a negro "dilegate" taking the
arm of his white revenue bung-smeller
or the festive postmaster nearly all
United States office-holders to the
negro Odd Fellows Hall.
Here the colored patriot from Craven
county, the Hon. Mr. Bryan (colored
black) cp lied the bung-smellers and
postmasters and negroes to order by
the dignified title of "'Publican dile
gates" to this "convention" aud selected
the Hon. W. II. A eh ford of Sampson
county secretary, who was so black that
ink would make a white mark on his
face. Thus organized, they proceeded
to business, nominating R. S. White of
Bladen county, a white man in name
as well as face, for elector for the Tjhlrd
district; Sam King, also white, ofabla
den county, as "dilegate" to the Na
tional Republican Convention at Phila
delphia. Explosion at Coal mine.
A terrific explosion occurred at the
Cumnock mine in Chatham county
Tuesday afternoon. The cause is sup
posed to have been a leak in a miner s
lamp from a break in the gauze shade.
Ten white men and eleven negroes were
killed.
At the time of the explosion twenty-
eight miners were at Work in the east
slope. The report was heard distinctly
by the forty miners in the west slope,
which is half a mile distant. They
rushed to the scene and the work of
rescuing began immediately.
The bodies were brought up the Bhaft
two or three at a time and stretcai on
the ground. The most heart remting
scenes were enacted at tne mouth of
this shaft.
Nearly all the dead miners were men
with families and their widows.orphans
and kin were frantic with grief. Most
of the bodies were greatly mutilated,
many burned and charred beyond re
cognition.
Of the twentv-nine men in the east
slope, 23 were brought out dead, five
fatally wounded and one missing, his t
body supposed to have been burned up.
It is the rolling wheel that gathers
the most punctures.
