' -v Why Lbnis XVI Helped Our Fathers in Their Struggle for In- ! -dependence. Mr. Robert J. Tbompson, be sec retary of the Lafayette Memorial Commission, has undeniably per formed a timely service in remind ing the people of tbe United States of their debt to rFrance. It has been said by a great epigrammatic writer that gratitude is the flower of the human heart, and no nation of people should permit thi beau tiful product to pine and perish for want of nourishment. , No patriotic American? can ever forget Lafay ette, Eochambeau.' and - tbe thou sands of intrepid French soldiers who came to our rescue in the darkest days of the Revolutionary war, and without whose aid the great republic might still be an un fulfilled dream. But while it is meet and proper for us to perpetuate the spirit of thankfulness to France, there can surely be nothing wrong in pur taking an intelligent view of the circumstances under which French aid was extended to us and the motives which prompted the proffer of such assistance. On this point it is enough to say that no student of history can be made to believe that Louis, XVI, the monarch of France, had the least particle of sympathy for the -principles in be half of which our forefathers were struggling. He wanted the colonies to achieve their independence, it is true; but not for their happiness, nor for tbe sake of human freedom. It was hatred of Great Britain that moved Louis XVI' to grant the Americans men and money it was to humiliate George III and Eng land that the French King was persuaded to Bend his legions across the Atlantic. Of course, we do not include Lafayette in this reference that apostle of human liberty the world over, and the worthy asso ciate of and sympathizer with George Washington in bis noblest aims and aspirations. We merely deem it proper, while minimizing, in no respect, our obli gations to France, not to ignore the well-established fact that our friends had a motive, which" was not altogether unselfish, in respond ing to our Macedonian cry to come over and help us. It is also in or der to remind the world that the people of France also owe a debt of gratitude to the inhabitants of the colonies whom they helped. In his history of the French revolution Carlyle maintains that it was the glorious and successful example set by the American colonists, under the leadership of George Wash ington, which inspired the French to j revolt against the Bourton tyranny, and which enabled them to throw off the baneful yoke with which they had been burdened for ages. ; Bfut even if our debt to France had been wholly unrequited, Secre tary Thompson's insistence that the American people should not in dulge in condemnatory remarks about! the French government on account of the Dreyfus verdict is scarcely in order. A man or a na tion should not be expected to ap prove a wrong under any circum stance. Nor should a just and liberty-loving people be expected to remain quiescent of a wrong which has shocked the whole civilized world. While we love France for what she did for us, we must despise the nfamy that has been perpetrated y the military branch of the French government. - t Sted that he did not know- ! ,on the day of her death, tr directing the postmaster ck over to Catjs for the - nife.

The Indian wars of the United States from the year 1831 to the year 1891 have cost in money ex pended . by the Federal treasury over $110,000,000, and for every Indian warrior killed in these va rious conflicts fifteen American sol diers have lost their lives. The war with the Cbeyennes in 1865 alone cost more than $40,000,000 and the lives of hundreds of sol diers, though the hostiles lost but twenty of their braves. England is reputed to be facile princeps in fighting savages, but a writer in The English United Service Maga zine recently produced statistics showing that the United States bad spent more that Great Britain within the past two generations in wars with aboriginal races. The war in Luzon is not without numer ous American precedents. The main difference between this and our former conflicts with "natives" is that it is being carried on at a great distance from home, as all of Britain's little wars have been. In every other respect we seem to be deeper in tbe mud than the English are in the mire far s wars on barbarous and savage races are concerned. Por Over Pifty Years.

Two People' from This State Among Them.' Miss Pippin of Tarboro, and Cherry Bos well, a Child from Lowlston, Norfolk, V., Sept. 21 Four lives were lost in the great fire : which de stroyed tbe St. Vincent de Paul Hoepi tal early this morning. The remains were taken from the debris and removed to the city morgue to-day, for jdentifi-J cation, proving to be as follows : j j , Mrs. Margaret McEween, about 70 years of tge, a lady of weak mind, who was there lor cafe keeping. The only; way she could be identified was by her ear rings, the body being so badly burned. : . r - . - ; ' Mrs. Eliz&beth White, an old lady who had been at the hospital for a long time as a boarder. She was on the fourth floor and the body had fallen through to the third. -She was identi fied by the structure of her body. j ! Cherry Boswell, a 3-year-old child from Lewi ston, N. C, who had a club foot, and was there for treatment. Miss Pippin, of North Carolina, who had just entered the hospital, and was to have been operated upon to-day. The body was found In the ruins of the bed in which she slept. Miss Pippin was from Tarboro, N. G. I The injured are : i ' Fireman Thomas A. Barrett, of the Queen Street engine house, left leg broken, right arm fractured in three places and cat on forehead. He is still alive, but has not regained conscious ness, and bue little hope of his recov ery Is entertained, j Fireman Robert A. Foster, driver, hurt about the head, but not seriously. Barrett, Foster and several other fire-' men had run a line of hose through the main entrance of the building, and were driven out either by tbe fire and smoke or by the premonition of an im pending collapse above them. Had they remained In the porch they would not have been injured at all, but as they went down into the yard from tbe front steps a mass of timber, brick wall, etc., pitched out and down from above upon them. The mas that fell upon the firemen is said to have been a water tank that was lecated in that part of the building for the purpose of running the elevator. I Miss Kate Dolan, of Washington, 1). C, one of the nurses of tbe institution, was also injured. She jumped through the stair well from the third story to the first landing in a sitting position at the feet Of Sister Bernard, the Sister Superior, who happened at that point just at that moment. She was hurt about the neck, hands and back, and Is considerably injured. I Miss Teresa Glass, of Richmond, Va., also a nurse. She is badly burned about one hand and foot and slightly about the face. She was carried to a residence on Wood street. i ! NOT A POLITICAL STEP. So Declares the Anti-Impe- I rialtst League McKin ley I . Alone Held Respon J: sible. Boston, Mass., Sept. 21 The Anti Imperialist League to-day issued the following: "Unauthorized . statements having been made as to the objects of the anti imperialist conference in Chicago Oc tober 17th, it should be said that there will be no attempt there at negotiat ing with any political party. It I is hoped that this confarence may plan for-fc systematic effort to establish anti imperialist leagues and committees throughout tbe country, with the in tention of developing and crystalizing tbe opposition to the President's poli cy. ! "It is true that in doing this the anti-imperialists must denounce Mr. McKinley individually, because he un lawfully initiated the slaughter in the Philippines by his declaration of war December 21st 1898, at a time when tbe United States was solemnly bound) by the protocol to presererve the sta tusquo. I "It simnlifies our efforts that, be cause of this impregnable fact, neither the country nor any political party in it is responsible for Mr. McKinley's war, or is in any way bound to sup port it. Tbe anti-imperialists hope to arouse their fellow citizens to the gravity of the issue which has been forced upon the people, so that no can didate for the next Presidency can ex pect success unless he disavows the colonial and imperial acts which have actuated Mr. McKinley and his perni clous advisers." WESTERN UNION SUED. . Damages Claimed for a De layed Telegram. j Durham, Sept. 21 Mr. W. T. Fergu son, employed on the bridge force of the Southern Railroad, has brought suit against the Western Union Tele graph Company for $2,000 damages1. The sQit originated in this way : Mr. Ferguson was at work in Greensboro and Mrs. Ferguson was at Manly1. Their baby was in a dying condition and the husband was telegraphad! to come. More than twenty-five hours elapsed before the message was deliver ed, and in the cSeantime the baby died. The cause of action did not arise in this county, but the plaintiff lives here now, and for that reason it is brought in Durham courts. Does Not Want Office. It is not often, that a man who has once tasted of the honors and emoluments of office voluntarily steps down and out. But this is what ex-Governor'Hogg, of Texas, has done. He has been governor, state treasurer and railroad com missioner ot the Lone Star State, besides having filled , numerous minor offices. Recently his name was mentioned for the ' attorney genernalship -of the state. This has called out a letter, from Mr. Hogg, in which he says he will re main in private life. ;t4I am de termined to stay out of office," he says. "You know me well enough to understand that I am sincere in what I say, and 1 simply ask that you discourage all mention of my name hereafter in connection with any and all offices of whatsoever class or nature." - Ex-Governor Hogg is the gentleman who startled Tammany Hall at its recent Fourth of July celebration by coming out flatfooted for the renomination of Hon. Wm. J. Bryan: '- - A Word to Mothers. Mothers of children affected with croup or a severe cold need not hesitate- to administer Chamber lain's CoUgh Remedy.
