Friday Moebtng, July T, 1S99. SHIFTUQ THE BESPONSIBILITY The , citj of Omaha celebrated "Santiago Day" on the third inst., and of course had considerable ora tory. .Postmaster General Smith was there, and the leading speech was made by him. After touching upon the war for Cuba, he turned his attention to the racket in the Philippines, and is thus reported by the Associated Press: "Up to that point," (the treaty with Spain), "there was no flaw in the sweep of success. Had the treaty been " promptly and unanimously ratified as it ought to hare been there would hare been no conflict in the Philip pines. The treaty was sent to the Senate early in December. Then and. for nearly two months after that time peace and order prevailed. There was no outbreak until February. The sovereignty of the United States, es tablished and recognized by the treaty, was accepted. But the manifesta tion of opposition in the Senate in cited and emboldened opposition in the Philippines, and the contest of nearly three months at Washington created a new and unnecessary contest around Manila.. "It is no fault of the Government. It is no fault of the soldiers. Every battle has been a victory. The Ameri can arms have never once been de feated or repulsed. No soldiers ever fought more dauntlessly under greater hardships than the heroes who have borne our flag through the jungles of Luzon, and the names of Otis and MacArthur, Lawton ,and Funston, with their gallant comrades, will ever be inscribed in the brightest records of American valor. There has been uo lack of vieoroift leadership and no lack of faithful and arduous service in the ranks. The only trouble had is that our numbers have not been great enough to overwhelm the insurgents and crush the revolt. iNot only did the opposition and delay in the ratification of the treaty encourage the insurrection, but the emasculated army bill crippled the power of suppressing it The Presi dent was compelled at the same time to face the revolt and face a practical reconstruction of the army. "Under the statutes, when the treaty of peace with Spain was ratified, not only was every volunteer entitled to be discharged, but every regular above 27,500 was required to be mustered out. The President then was confronted in the midst of insurrection with the problem of relieving a large part of the force in the Philippines and of being compelled to substitute new levies. He stood face to face with the diffi culty, in the presence of a force already too small, of withdrawing more than 10,000 trained and disciplined men from the fighting line while the cam paign was at its height, and of filling their places with new forces. "Had the volunteers exercised their right of immediate discharge our army would have been seriously crippled and disastrous results might have fob lowed. But, to their undying honor be it said, they made answer which reflects immortal glory upon the American citizens and the American fpers- They said: 'We are enti tled to discharge; we want to return to our homes and families; but, nev ertheless, we will stay here and fight on, and we will not leave our posts until the Government is ready to put others in our places.' "It was a magnificent exhibition of the devotion and patrotism of true Americans. Nebraska holds a hitrh nisi av, U . 1 a . o rma "0 lUlUDOI roil or hnnm is not a fair nor honest statement of the case. The treaty which he pro nounces a success was the root of the war in the Philippines and the cause of all the trouble we have hd with those people. It is well known that when the commissioners left this country to meet the commissioners on the part of Spain in Paris, the administration had not decided upon the course it would pursue in refer ence to the Philippines, and it was not until after the commission met and began to discuss the matter of the treaty, that the idea of purchas ing' the Philippines suggested itself or that our commissioners were ad vised and authorized to . pay Spain 120,000,000 tor them. Right there the blunder was made that divided the American people, for right there the administration showed its dis position to ignore the virtual pledge given to the world when the cause of Cuba was espoused, and right there was the cause of war with the Filipinos. They were fighting for independ ence just as the Cubans were; they drove the Spanish soldiers in Luzon under the guns of Admiral Dewey's ships and made the capture of Manila merely a question of time. It could have been captured a month or more before it was, but for some reason best understood at Washington the attempt to capturewas postponed until American troops could get there to take possession of the city when it surrendered. Agninaldo could have captured it anyway if he had chosen to disregard the wishes of Admiral Dewey, with whom he was faithfully co operat ing and by whom he was directed. With the fall of Manila, the ,Fili pinos saw or thought they saw inde pendence in sight, and yet they were expected to stand and see the sovereignty of the islands transferred from Spain to another power, and have no word of objection or pro test, especially when this Govern ment refused to recognize them in any way, to let them be heard in the discussion of that treaty or to give them the slightest assurance as to the future of the islands for whose independence they had fought, and for the independence of which they had the pledges of U. S. representa tives Bilently, at least, acquiesced in by Admiral Dewey. As this is the corner stone of the defence made by Postmaster Smith the whole thing tumbles to the ground and neither the opponents of the treaty in the Senate, nor the Filipinos can be held responsible for the war, The capture of Manila imposed no obligation upon this Government as to the future of the Philippines, nor any obligation to buy Spain off after Spanish power on the islands had been crushed, and in doing so to be guilty of a breach of faith towards the men whose co operation made the . capture of Ma nila a very easy undertaking. The administration will try to dodge the responsibility and throw it upon other shoulders, but it has made history as it went along in its shuffling, blundering way, and it can't change that history or crawl out of it. This administration is re sponsible for every life lost and every dollar spent Bince the fall of Ma nila, in the attempt to take forcible possession of those islands. We cannot justify our breach of faith and needless war on the ground that the natives are not "capable of self-government," and hence Ameri can rule will be better for them than self-rule. That is the defence of the spoiler and the land-grabber the world over. It is the plea of the robber nation strong enough to rob. ANOTHER GREAT ENTERPRISE. There is probably' not another State in the Union in which trans mission of electric power to operate industries is making as much pro gress as in North Carolina. 'We made some reference a short while ago to the big proposed scheme to harness the Roanoke near Weldon and incidentally mentioned in that connection the plant now in ope ration on the Yadkin, from which power is transmitted to Winston- .Salem, fourteen miles distant; to the one to be erected at the "Nar rows," lower down on the Yadkin, which will convey power to sur rounding towns; to the one on which work will soon be com menced to carry power from the French Broad to Asheville, and to one that has been proposed to con vey power from the Catawba to Charlotte. This is a pretty good showing, and now we have to add another big scheme, concerning which the Raleigh Post publishes the follow ing telegram from Durham, under date of the 5th inst: "The Cape Fear Power Company, with a capital stock of $475,000, is a new industry for North Carolina that will no doubt work great things in this section and throughout the State at large. "This gigantic enterprise was organ ized and put on foot in the office of Manning & Foushee, attorneys, late yesterday afternoon, and the board of directors and officers have already been elected. On the board of direc tors are some of the leading capital ists and best known business men in this State and Virginia, and the offi cers of the company are men whose namei and - business capacity are known throughout the State. "As the name implies, the -object of the company is to harness the mag nificent water power of the Cape Fear river, which will be utilized to gen erate electricity and furnish motive power to numerous factories and in dustries in this section. "The company already owns about 3,000 acres of land in Chatham and Harnett counties, on which is situated some very fine water power, which they will develop, on the lands on tbe falls of Lockville, Buckhorn and Bat tle, which will furnish almost un limited power. "In organizing, the following board of directors were elected: T. C. Wil Hams, Jr., A. D. Crenshaw, P. H. Mayo. 8. W. Travers and E. B. Addi son, of Kichmond, Va. ; J. S. Carr, J. S. Manning and W. M. Morgan, of Durham, and Beneham Cameron, of Staggville. Immediately after this election the directors elected the fol lowing officers: President, W. M. Morgan, of Durham; vice-president, Col. J. S. Carr, of Durham ; secretary and treasurer, R. P. Gray, of Greens boro. , "After harnessintr the water falls on Cape Fear, the company will erect a number of cotton mills, electrical plants and other industries' on their property, and thousands of men and women will be given employment by a power that has been idly wasting itself during untold centuries. The company has a contract now to fur nish power to the Sandford cotton mill, ten miles from the headquarters of the company at LeaksvUle. In the future it is probable that the company will transmit power to' Durham, Raleigh, Fayetteville, and other in dustrial centers. "It is the intention of the company to begin operations at once. President Morgan and Secretary Gray left this morning for Lockville to make pre parations to go to work. The company is a gigantic concern and its undertakings are of great im portance to the material development of that progressive southern manufac turing interest in which the Tarheel State is fast forging to the front" As we have heretofore remarked these schemes are but the beginning of what will result in a grand system by which scores of our tumbling streams will be harnessed and give power for numberless in dustries within such radius as- they can reach. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. FOH THE FARMER. Maxton Scottish Chief: Mrs. Flora MeKenzie, wife of Dr. J. O. Me Kenzie. of Tatum, 8. C, died suddenly at her home in Tatum on Thursday night, June 29th. Charlotte News: A telegram received this (Wednesday) morning by Mr. Bryan Overcash announces the death in Winston of Miss Mary Creasy, daughter of Rev. Dr. W. S. Creasy, and a sister of Mrs. Overcash. The end camo this morning, and was not unexpected, as Miss Creasy has been very ill for several days, Clinton Democrat: Mr. Clar ence F. Herring's saw mill, two miles north of town, was burned Sunday afternoon. Mr. Herring's loss is about $600. There was no insurance'on the property. Mr. Herring has been pe culiarly unfortunate in being burned out. This is the second ' mill he has lost i a that way, and some years ago he lost his dwelling and all its con tents by fire. Kinston Free-Press: We learn that Mr. T. L. Turnage, of Dongola, Pitt county, has received a letter from Elijah Joyner, now in jail at Raleigh for the murder of Mr. Turnage's ne phew and the burning of his store, saying that Cephas Langley, also in Raleigh jail charged with the same crime, had nothing to do with the murder. Joyner says he desires to tell the truth about the matter, and no one except himself had any connection with the crime. Rockingham Anglo-Saxon: Mr, W. N. Lee, of Wolf Pitt township, was in Rockingham last Thursday. He is the overseer of Maj. H. C. Wall's farm. He says army worms made a raid through his section last week, de stroying crops as they went He says that sixty acres of fine corn of Maj. Wall's place was completely eaten ud by them, leaving nothing but tbe stems, which will be plowed up ard replanted. He had not seen the corn in several days, when he found it in this condition. They attacked other fields as they weut on in their course of destruction. Fayetteville Observer: Mrs. James Wooddell passed away at her home on Myrtle Hill plantation Tues day night after a long illness. Mr. Joe Powell was shot by Mr. Tom Pow ers with a pistol on Monday night at the Rankin mills. It seems that Mr. Powers was -target practising when Mr. Powell approached him carrying a box on his shoulder. Mr. Powers fired at the box but the bullet missed the box and entered the lower part of Mr. Powell's body. The machin ery for the silk mill has begun to ar rive. - A large Corliss engine with im mence fly wheel is on the cars at the switch near the coal schute, and the workmen making ready to put it in the engine room of the factory. The boil ers are expected within 10 days. Lexington Dispatch: On Tues day night of last week the wife of Mr. B. I. Sheets, of Riley's Store, Ran dolph county, happened to a terrible accident. She has gone in her smoke house carrying a lamp with her, and whether it was broken or exploded is not known. Her son, who was in the house and her husband who was at his machine some two hundred yards away heard her scream, and when the son reached her she was enveloped in flames, they seeming to rise some eight or ten feet above her head. He tried with his bare hands to tear away her burning clothing and put out the flames, and at the same time asking a servant to bring him a quilt, but the woman was so frightened that she failed to do bis bidding, and he re leased his mother and ran for it him self. By that time the husband had reached her and she sank at his feet with almost every vestige of her cloth ing burned off. She lived until Wed nesday afternoon, suffering agonies in those few hours. She was burned almost all over her body, except her face, which by a miracle escape. CURRENT COMMENT. Girls Going1 Into Sdentino Asrioulture. Keeping- Soys on Farms Better as Bristle. Fifty girls have taken"up the study of scientific farming at tbe Minneapolis College of Agriculture, and the result of the hew departure will be watched with interest throughout the country as 'affecting the welfare of the sex. If the innovation shall prove successful it will naturally spread to other agricultural states, and its most important results mav turn out to be social rather than directly agricultural in character. Here tofore one great drawback of . farming has been the difficulty of keeping the boys upon the farm. With trained and educated girls taking up the profession, the old homestead farming would take on a new charm, and the hegira of farm ers' sons to the cities would be checked, if not entiiely done away with.! The character of instruction undertaken by the young girls at the Minneapolis col lege is thoroughly scientific, emphasiz ing the sciences of botany, chemistry. physics and geology, and requiring dur ing the freshman and sophomore yeara at least two terms' work in each of them. Usefulness of tbe Garden. A little while only and the prudent farmer who likes his table to show oth er and different vegetables than pota toes prepares his family garden before he thinks much of field work, writes C. W. Murtfeldt of Missouri. The same kind of man will not depend much upon the women of his household to prepare the soil for the reception of spring seed or planting. After the hearty foods and meats of winter the palate of the nor mal man craves acids and delicate herbs, such as are nsed with salads, either let tuce or sprouts or horse radish or spin ach, unci with these tbe early radish and more largely the asparagus. This latter most delicate and most highly es teemed vegetable is already in the soil, being a perennial. But to make it grow nnder the best possible conditions it must be cultivated early, or, better, first of all. Its cultivation consists in hav ing the top soil and manure fined with epade. fork and rake and all coarse rubbish removed. Radishes, spinach and even onions may be sown on the same bed. None of these vegetables will draw much on the fertilizes which formed the winter covering or top drees ing for the asparagus. THE LONG SUFFERING TEACHER. No Nobler Army ot Martyrs jETi; Mrcbedtot&eCamrf Torture. "Of the long suffering teachers lean hardly trust myself ; to speak. No nobler army of martyrs ever marched- to cham bers of torture.. . Said one, I begin the weekly reports Monday before the lessons are recited, else I should never have them ready by Friday night.' ' " I have seen teachers carry home piles of manuscript to be corrected, often spend ing Saturday and Sunday at their desks. Most dismal of tasks. No wonder the pro fessional reader of manuscripts goes crazy. Said another: 'I am so tired I do not go to church. Unless I lie around and res on Sunday I cannot be ready for Monday. It seems that to teach anything we must know everything. We have to write essays on subjects that do not touch our studies, and there ore the long meetings and the institutes.' " 'What abou tho institutes?' I asked. It was at the closo of one of the hottest days of our tropical summer. 'We must meet and hear compositions on basio thoughts, cosmic entities, the concept of ideality, and Mr. Nobody from Nowhere reads "Locksley Hall." ' 'Can't you read "Locksley Hall" for yourself?' - '"Yes, if I had a chance. My back ached so that I could not listen, and some times I am so hurried I feel as though I should lose my wits. ' "At one time there was a regulation that teachers should stand during recita tion. When n number had dropped on the floor,' tho order was revoked." Mrs. Lew Wallace in Ladies' Homo Journal;- COMMERCIAL. WILMINGTON MARKET. To Treat a. Black Bye. I Here is the proper treatment for a "black eye:" Before discoloration has set in cold compresses or evaporating lotions 6hould be used. These will reduce the swelling and limit the subsequent discol oration. ' If seen after the discoloration is fully developed, hot compresses and mas sage are required The affected portion is smeared over with vaseline and rubbed for ten minutes several times a day. New York Journal. Growing- Onions. Two items are essential in growing onions, says the St Louis Republic. One is a rich soil, loamy enough to be readily worked into good condition, the other is to plant early. In regard to planting, the only safe rule is to have everything in readiness, that the planting can be done at the first favor able opportunity. In many cases a few days' delay means a partial, if not com plete, failure of the crop. There is lit tle risk of getting the soil too rich. But the manure or fertilizer used should be fined and free from weed seeds. If stable manure is nsed, it should be well rotted and fined and then thoroughly incor porated with the soil. A sandy loam is best, because it is easily worked into a good tilth. Having the soil in good tilth not only secures a quicker and better germination of the seed, but a more vigorous start to grow, while it will be easier to give clean, thorough cultiva tion from the start. The shoe trade of America is making strenuous efforts to extend its exports. The large factories in the western states have forced the eastern manufacturers to find an outlet in the old world, and it is not unlikely that Germany and France will furnish a field for the American eagle. Auqusta Chronicle, Ddm. Of the 9,240 men who rl- Xeep the Boys at Home. The boy that grows into a position and sticks to it is the one that makes a, success, says Land and a Living. Farm- ing is a business, and the term "busi ness man" is just as applicable to the farmer as to the banker or storekeeper. There is room for a graduate to use all the science. bookkeeDiner and botanv that he ha 9 acquired in a course at col lege right upon the acres of his fa ther's farm, and no one whose opinion is worth a penny will sneer at "book learning. " providing it is backed by common sense. The graduates are com ing back to the farm nowadays at a greater rate than ever before in the world's history, and the reasons are many, but ono of the main ones is that intelligent people are ready to acknowl edge that a farmer's existence need not be a drudgery if he desires it to be otherwise. Let go or die. That's the alternative of the shipwrecked man with the money bags. If there was only some amt to throw him a life . preserver, he might save both life and money. Without help it is let go or die. A great many people have a like alternative before them. Business men come to a point where the doctor tells them that they must " let go or die." Probably he ad vised a sea voyage or mountain air. There's an obstinate cough that won't be shaken off. The lungs are weak and per haps bleeding. There is emaciation and other symptoms of disease, which if un skillfully or improperly treated terminate in consumption. Thousandsof men and women in a like condition have found complete healing by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discovery. It purifies th blood. It carries off from the system all refuse and poisonous matter. It gives the infected organs the strength to throw off disease. " I was taken sick and felt so stupid I could hardly go about." writes Miss Mary Eskew. of Given, Jackson Co., W. Va. " I had smothering: pells. I went to our best physicians and they doctored me all one summer. I kept growing worse and got so weak I could hardly go about. The two doctors I had said I had lung trouble. I had an awful cough, and one day my aunt told me of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I sent and got a bottle of both kinds the ' Golden Medical Discovery and ' Favorite Prescription. When I had taken that it helped me so much I sent and got more. I have taken of both medi cines altogether, ten bottles. Now mv lungs do not hurt me, and 1 don't have any cough. I am stout now and as well as ever in my life." Given away. The PeoplaJS Common Sense Medical Adviser is se Jpfree on re ceipt of stamps to pay expense of mail ing only.

Now, when many loyal and ear poople, without having under stood what has been going on, are asking that volunteers may be called out to crush the insurrection, ther awake to find that the army has been quietly reconstructed, and that in stead pf being obliged to raise and hurry forward raw troops the Govern ment is able to give General Otis from 35,000 to 40,000 of the best-trained and most effective soldiers in the world. With such a force, of such a quality, at hia command when the rainy season is over and the fighting can be re sumed again the earnest desire of the country for a short, sharp and decisive campaign will be fully realized. The only thing that attaches any special importance to this speech more than any of the other speeches that were made, is that it was de livered by a member .of Mr. Melon- ley's cabinet, and is in the nature of an apology for rather than a defence of the war in the Philippines. But with all due respect to Mr. Smith, it i back to na to take charge of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, a position for which we think he is eminently fitted, for he is brainy, full of viiror and energy, as bouyant as a boy and tireless as a steam en gine.

Some of the southern wild hogs have quite good bristles, and when 2 or 8 years old they will not weigh more than a well fed pig should at seven to nine months old. Horse Colic.

New York, July 6. The cotton market opened quiet and steady at a decline of otie to two points, cables be ing unsatisfactory and crop accounts no worse, if not better than yesterday's advices. Later, the market dragged and was weak without further change until the early afternoon, when a steadier feeling followed a demand from shorts without particular new feature to explain the unexDected movement. Covering soon became quite general and the market slowly worked up to four to five points above yesterday's closing prices. On the rise there was some investment buying on the part of outsiders, but it failed to materialize to any extent A prefer ence to hold off for the July govern ment report was apparent. The char acter as well as the volume of busi ness was unsatisfactory to-day. There was a decided lack of outside interest. At the lowest point the market showed a decline of one to two points ; at the best a net advance of four to five points and was finally steady, net un changed to two points lower. New York, July 6.
