Dewey will be relieyed by Wat eon at Manila, but who will come to hie rescue when the American girl attempts to Jlobeonize him? A fraternal gathering of the old soldiers ofthe blue and gray would be a fitting sequel to the dem- and loyality which haye prevailed throughout the country recently, and the proposition to hold a reun ion of the veterans of the North and South is worthy of favorable consideration. And now it is. stated that the Western packers who furnished the army with rotton beef are after General Miles. Their indignation on account of the charges he made against the beef is so great that they openly declare their determi nation to wreak vengeance on him. It is well known that Secretary Al ger failed in his attempt to have Miles displaced by General Mer ritt, and it is difficult to see how the beef packers can accomplish what the war secretary failed in do ing. We have never been a very ardent admirer of General Miles, bnt he seems to be everlastingly right in this instance. a he vvhsnington correspondent of The New York Herald declares luatp mo prcsiuciib usi practically made up his mind to call an extra session of Congress about, October 20. It is thought best, not only for -political reasons but for nuhlicad. x vantage, to give opportunity to set tle the important questions of fu ture colonial policy, and currency legislation before the assembling flf fVlA nnminatiniv nnnnantinna year. Not since the period of re construction following upon the ending of the civil war has congress been called upon to deal with grav er issues. The course of parties will be largely shaped by the dis cussions in congress, and there is likely to be an extraordinary shift ing of the lines which now divide Republicans and Democrats. A convention of Virginia Demo crats was held in Richmond l6t week for the purpose of disoussing the propriety of electing United States senators by a direct vote of the people. Democrats represent ing every shade of .opinion in the arty were present, and no step was taken in defiance of party reg ulations or government. Resolu tions were adopted declaring in favor of an amendment of the fed eral constitution so that United States senators may be elected by a direct vote of the people of the several states instead of by the leg islatures thereof. Pending the adoption of such an amendment it is proposed that Democratic candi dates for the United States senate shall be nominated at state primary elections legalized by the general assembly. To meet the present is sue, the Democratic state central committee is urged to call a state convention to nominate a candidate for the senate, who will be voted for at the next session of the legis lature. We have previously referred to the next session of the North Car olina Teachers' Assembly, which will be held at Morehead City, June 13th-18th. These gatherings of Tarheel educators are, annually gi u n ug iu nuu -oil ICaGU- ers, school officers and friends of education should avail themselves pf the advantages offered by the as sembly. A circular recently sent out by the secretary says : "Rail road and hotel rates are reduced to less than one-half, and no better time will ever be offered you to vis it the seaside. It promises to be the grandest educational gathering ever held in the state. A magnifi cent program has been prepared. Make your plans now to attend or you will surely regret it. Every educator and friend of educational advancement in the state should resolve to be present. Hundreds who are not teachers will go to avail themselves of the low rates. Everybody will be made welcome, and you are cordially invited to attend. Full programmes may be had of the secretary, W. T. Whit sett, Whitsett, N. C." The following editorial para graph in the Philadelphia Record, a Northern newspaper of influence, might be studied with profit by those from whom emenates so much criticism of the South's treatment of the negro: "Our colored breth ren are Just now receiving a great deal of very gratuitous advice. They are told, among other things, to learn to be carpenters, masons, plasterers, blacksmiths, tailors and to become masters of other handi crafts. Will their benevolent ad visors inform the black men how they are to break through the trades-unions, and from apprenti ces become skillful mechanics? In the first place, the blacks have few opportunities to learn mechanical crafts; and, in the second place, it is doubtful'whether the most skill ful colored mechanic could obtain remunerative employment in the North, such is the prejudice of race in this section of the country.: Whatever may be said of the race conflict in the South, it is a matter of common -observation that there is much less prejudice against the employment of colored mechanics in the South than there is in the North. A black man can occasion ally become a skillful mason or bricklayer in the South, but in the North he rarely gets farther than carrying the hod." . A Lynching Prevented. Atlanta, Ga., May 15. Winnie Roach, a mulatto woman, came near being lynched by an angry mob of incensed negroes tonight, at the corner of Scofield and Hil lard streets. The crjme with which she and her husband were charged was brutally burning their four children almost to death by ignit ing paper saturated with kerosene, with which their bodies had been wrapped. The man, Lawrence Roach, ran away during the . after noon, when he heard that his treat ment of the children had been re ported to the police. The woman had been away from home all day and did not know that her cruelty had been found out. She was in the house when the mob gathered and was in the act of ap plying more fire to one of the chil dren when the crowd broke in. Telephone messages were sent to the police station by white people living in the neighborhood, who said they believed the woman -was about to be burned by the crowd. A wagon load of officers was sent to the place. One of the children had all the flesh , burned from her legs in several places and will die. The other three are badly burned. He Qoes to the Limit. Cleveland, Ohio, May 16. Ex President Cleveland is stopping at Mr. Leroy Brooks' cottage at Middle Bass. He was sitting on the front porch yesterday when a photographer arrived and began to chat with him. . i! "What success have you had here in fishing?" was asked. "The law allows one fisherman to catch only twelve bass in a day," replied Mr. Cleveland, "and I have invariably gone to the limit of the law." . . J " "What will be the leading issue in 1300?" was the next question. 4 Don't ask me " said Mr. Clev land. "I am not paying any atten tion to politics." , I Later Mr. Cleveland consented to be- photographed in a group with some of his companions. Alex Grubb, a one-armed Con- federate veteran of Rowan county, round, on his return from the Charleston reunion, that his house had been broken Into and all avail able valuables stolen. About $54 in cash and several suits of cloth ing were among the articles taken. .

Tacoma, Wash , May 16. St. Michael advices confirm the dis covery of the new. gold district equaling the Klondike in extent and richness, at Capo Nome, on the Alaska mainland, a hundred miles north of St. Michael. Every body at St. Michael and Golovin Bay has stampeded there. Two men cleared up $60,000 in ninety days. Others have gathered nug gets by the sackful. It seems to have literally rained gold along Snake and Suske Rivers and their tributaries. The news has created great excitement in the North west.
