From our aefultr ComipondeaU Shall the most dastardly niea of treachery pertwtra t ed in the nineteenth century condoned for a cash cori8id eration? That is the que tinn Mr MiKinles raised , w v w whpn he sent Secretary Sher man at lHst.thOold man is 1 jrien-sometlww to do; but t whs a nanseai.i jun--u " ;mhlMti Htnonir his former .pa'MB . i-r5-''t h e purpose of informing , them DHI Uic numiuinwo1 tion had decided, if thenavnl f.vMrt reDorted that tne w tftine was blown up by in tnntion. to demand a cash indemnity of Spain. If Mr. Sherman correctly reported some of the remarks made bv Senators with whom he HiKPiiftspd the matter. Mr. McKinley must have blush ed. Ever since it has been prac tically known that the court has found unmistakable evi dence that the Maine was wrecked ty treachery, the administration has been gradually, through divers newspaper interviews, and by other methods, preparing th public for this indemnity bu ines, by dropping hints a bout the injustice of holding Midi in . rp.xnnnrfihle when i t prva disavowed the crime or any knowledge of it. and of the probability that the erim' whs committed bv 8 o m e Spaniard who was an enemy of the present Spanish Minis tryetc, etc. The Spanish chareea affairs in Washing ton also took a hand in the attempt to havetbiscountry let down easily by officially stating that no mines or tor pedos have ever been planted in the harbor at Havana. The fact that this fellow was once associated with Dc Lome was enough to prevent hplipf of anv statement he might make. There is not the slightest doubt that any overwhelm in& maiority of Congress be lieves with a majority of the people of the country that Spanish blood should be shed to avenge the poor devils who were the victims of Span ish treachery in Havana har bor; but there is also a strong desire in Congress to act in concert with the administra tion, if possible, in order that it cannot be said by the Span iard, or 'other foreigners, that there is a division of sentiment in the United Sta tes. This desire may result in Congress allowing the de mand for a monny indemnity to be made on Spain, but it will be, evetsthen, largely be cause of the belitf that Spain cotildnot pay the indemnity, and would not if it. could. ... and that wor would be the re sult, any waj. Although Mr. McKinley continues to talk peace, his sections, through his suborli na teashow that he believes with almost, everybody else in Washington, that war with SDaiti is inevitable, and, to his credit be it placed, he is taking vigorous steps to see thnt we are fully prepar ed rn do our share of the fighting when it once gets started. The more prompt lv and vigorously he acts up on that Maine report, which is expected this week, the bet ter he will stand with Con gress and the people. Mr. McKinlpy must have been a little bit afraid that the well-known wrapping propensities ol Teddy Roose velt mude hitn h dangerous mnhJo havein.rharge of the Nnyy. "Department at this time, or Secretary . Long would now be taking several daysreetand Teddy 'would be in charge. Mr. Long an nounced his intention of go ing away for three or four days, but Mr. McKii.ley pur suaded him to change his mind. Most persons would rather see'Teddy running the machine just now.- Rppreseiitative Sulzer, of N. Y who has been some what harshly criticised be cause of his objection, when unanimous consent was ask ed in the House that the bill, already passed by the Sen ate, providing for the enlist merit of two additional regi ments of artillery, be taken up and considered until dis posed of, immediately after the passage of the sundry civil bill, 8tys he end so be cause he thought there was no necessity to increase the regular army, and that be regarded the bill as an at tempt on tha part oi the. pla tocrats to take advantage of existing conditions ton crease the army and thus still further entrench them selves against the people. As to the special need of these men uow to fight Spain, Mr. Sulzer slid: "Why, if war should be declared, I would resign my seat in Congress in 24 hours and would raise a regiment in my district. 1 ould get a thousand young able bodied fellows who would fight and we would go to the front under some Fed eral brigadecommander;nnd there would be no lack of such regiments." The defeat of the republi cans by the combined votes of the democrats and popu lists several times recently, when the House was m com mittee of the whole, has so aggravated the republican leaders, that they have noti fled the republican membeis that they must be more regu lar!, their attendance and have given them a bint that if thev are not. a list of the nhRpnfpps will he dailv Dub- lisned. as was done in tne forty-seventh Congress.

His remains were taken to the Zion Hill church where the funeral services were held conducted by the Pastor U L. Parmer. He was then ta ken to the cemetery over looking the church and bur ied in the presence of a large concourse of people. D. W. Hagaman was born in the beautiiul valley of Bea verdam February 15th. 1857 Here he crew to mauhood. He became a member of Ben verdam church about 1877. In 1879 he moved with his father to Big Laurel. Ashe county, and was in the con stitution of the church at that place. He then return ed to this county and was married to the widow Mary Farthing, daughter of Elder A. J. Harman, in 1884, with whom he lived happily till his death. By this marriage there were five children.- one of which preceded him to the spirit land. He, with others, was constituted a churclv at Zion Hill, of which he remain ed a member and clerk till his death. If all the people who Knew him, D. W. Haga man, were asked there would be but one answer, He was a decendant of a noble family and bv no act of his did he - i' ever tarnish their good name. Althohgh be suffered in tensely for n e a r 1 y four months, he never murmured nor complained. He bore it all with christian resignation, expressing no regret only the leaving of loved ones behind. Asa citizen he was faith ful in the discbarge of all his duties incumbent upon him us a husband, affectionate as a father, kind and indulgent as a neighbor, ever ready to oblige and to help the poor. His benevolenco was limited only by bis means. urother Haaaman was faithful in his attendance at his church meetings, ever ready to contribute to the support of his pastor and ty all the necessities of the church. Oh! how sad to know he is gone. The whole community is clothed in deepest mourn ing and you hear nut one opinion by all. His place will be hard to fill but bo is gor. His family will hear his returning footsteps no more. Never more will he ait with loved ones in the family circle. No more will we see him in his seat at the church. Rut we would bow in humble submission to the providence of Him whodoeth all things well, being assured that our loss is his eternal gain. And while loved ones mourn bis absence ne ih doubtless walking theelysian plains of never fading and eternal glory.' A Fkiend. TIB TNT OF DEM0CE1CT. News and Observer. The Texas Demjtracy has prescribed a test that will be propounded to such voters as desire to taka part in the primaries, whose democracy the managers of the primar ies may have reason to doubt. The questions to be asked are: 1. Are you a democrat nd will you vote for thedem ocratic nominees at the en suing elpction? 2. Did you vote for the oppositiou to either the National democrat ic ticket nominated at Chica go or the State democratic ticket nominated at Fort Worth at the general election in November. 1896? This intended to deny a voice in the primaries to all Democrats who bolted either the State or National ticket in 1896, and those who ore unwilling to abide by the conventions of 1898. This is a new method in party pol icy .and its wisdom is to be doubted. It is the part ot wisdom not only to invite re cruits trom other parties, but, to open the doors wide also to those who have de parted from the faith, or, in other words, to give back sliders as well as sinners a chance to come back into the fold upon conditions such as will bind them to sin no more. The action of ihe.DenjP cratie Executive commit tee of North Carolina was much more to our notion of correct party policy. Its action was expressed in the following resolution "Rpsolved, That in accord ance with the resolution here tofore adopted, all white electors who intend to vote with us in the next election, and who derire the re-estab- lishuient of Anglo-Saxon su premacy and honest govern ment in North Carolina, are cordially invited to partici pate in all of our primaries and conventions. Under the terms of this res olution men who yoted for M-jKmlej or Palmer in 1896, Weaver in 1892. or for any other candidates of any par ty, who "intend to vote with us (the Democrats) m the next election, and who desire the. re-establishment of An glo-Saxon suprenacy and honest government in North Carolina," will be admitted po the primaries. Tho doors ore open so broad that two hundred thuoHand voteis ought to be glad to respond to the invitation. BEAM TO FlttHT 8PAIIC. News and Observer.
