to the negro in politics. If this be
so ;are not the laws mating me
negro a voter that he might protect
himself with his ballot a failure?
What's the use of his having the
right to vote if he does not or can
not exercise it, or if he does exercise
it not to have his vote counted, or
counted against him? Better, far
better, remove this cause of friction,
which cannot and does not do the
negro any good.
To learn how much truth there is
in the assertion that the ballot in
the hands of the negro is neces
sary for the negro's protec
tion, compare the situation as be
tween the whites and the. blacks in
the States of South Carolina, Mis
sissippi and Louisiana, where they
have qualified suffrage, now and
what it was before the adoption of
qualified suffrage. There are no
longer the jars, and the conflicts
and the bloodshed that were com
mon occurrences then, but on the
contrary elections that are marked
by quiet and good order. Have the
suffered! Has there been
any oppressive legislation? Are
they not as well treated, as well paid,
and a3 well protected as they ever
were? The testimony from all these
States is that they are better treated
than they ever were, and better con
tented than they ever were,
that they are prospering more than
they ever did, that they are not
bothering themselves with politics
which they do not understand, and
are not being dragged around to
meetings by politicians who had been
using them, but stay at home and
attend to their own business, and
leave politics to those who have more
interest in it and understand it bet
ter than they do.
In those States the first step has
been taken towards the solution of
the race problem, and when Xorth
Carolina adopts the constitutional
amendment, which provides for
Qualified suffrage and removes from
nolitics the ignorant and gullible
negro mob, the first step will
been taken here.
THE PRESENT POLICY.
The press dispatches from Wash
ington pnblished yesterday qnote
General McArthur as saying that
"the present policy of the army is to
disarm and not to kill the Filipino
insurgents, and that object is being
facilitated by the action of the Fili
pino captains in getting taeir men
together and surrendering in a
body." This is quite different from
the policy which had been pursued
Aar- i.ho, Otis reerime, which was to
hunt and shoot down the Filipinos
like "jackrabbits." Judging from
what we have read of Gen. McAr
thur, and 4he the pictures of him
which we have seen, he has more
sense than Otis, and this change of
policy, and its results as reported
prove it. '
It was contended by many for a
long time that Otis was not fit for
the position he occupied and should
be replaced by some man with a
broader vision, with more and a bet
ter .kind of brains in his head. But
he was kept there in spite of his
very apparent incompetence and the
urgent requests for his recall.
McArthur seems to have realized
as others did the blunders of Otis,
and corrected one of them by
promptly adopting a different policy,
.Wa stated, and one that will
W W--V-J
save thousands of lives and this
country from much just reproach
whether it bring peace any sooner or
not. There is little doubt that it.

will aid in hastening peace,

have
BECOMING A NATIONAL PROB
LEM. The race problem, or what to do
with the negro, is becoming one in
which not only the South, but the
whole country is interested. There
was a time, not so very long ago,
when it was discussed on the other
side of the line only in its political
aspect by men who thought that
they had planned to secure the fol
lowing of the negro in carrying out
their political policies and schemes.
But people are not as much inter
ested in this as they were, for they
have come to the conclusion gener
ally that the negro as a voter is a
failure. This is the reason why
there has been such a change in pub
lic sentiment, and why the efforts for
-qualified suffrage in the South
have been so favorably received
even in the sections where but a
few years ago we heard much of
"manhood suffrage"' and much
about the negro being politically
the equal of the white man.
As a general thing there has
been a marked change of opinion
on that subject and little disposi
tion to quarrel with the Southern
people for adopting qualified suf
frage as the only way for solving
that problem politically, for that's
the way. the solution must begin.
This solution, which means the
elimination of the mass of the ne
groes from politics, is necessary for
the sake of the white people and
the black people, and must be pre
liminary to any other successful
measures for the solution of that
question in other ways.
Before any plan for the better
ment of the negro in which the white
people of the country will be asked
to interest themselves can be got un
jder way, there must be friendly f eel
iing enough between the races to
Snikejthe negro look to the white
man as his friend and make the
white man take some interest in the
1 negro, look upon him with kindness
instead of aversion, and feel when
he is helping him that he is helping
. one who is deserving instead of a for
getful and ungrateful enemy. White
men, whatever section they live in,
who seriously consider this question,
without prejudice,' and intelligent
colored men who comprehend the
relations between the. races, and
the obstacles that have to be
overcome, realize that good feeling
N between the races is an absolute
essential to the success of any
movement that may be undertaken
for the betterment of the negro
race and the way' to get that is to
remove the principal cause of fric
tion by taking the negroes as a
mass out of politics, which has been
a misfortune to them,- doing thm
no good, but almost an infinity of
harm.
It was contended that the ballot
was given to the negroes of the
South for their self -protection, that
WILL IT BE BRYAN OR DEWEY.
Some time ago the Star remark
ed that the Democratic Presidential
ticket looked very much like Bryan
and Dewey. Then there had been
little said on that subject, but the
following, which we clip from the
Washington correspondence of the
New York World, under date of the
27th inst., shows the trend in that
direction:
"Would Admiral Dewey accept the
Democratic nomination for Vice Pres
ident? "This question is now going the
rounds of the Capital andT is attract
ing much attention. A great many
people are answering it in the affirm
ative, and it would not surprise some
of the knowing politicians if a boom
for Admiral Dewey for Vice Presi
dent were in evidence before many
days.
"A Tammany Hall Congressman is
authority for the statement that the
leaders are preparing to boom the Ad
miral for Bryan's running-mate. He

when the Filipinos learn that they
are not to be hunted like wild ani
mals and shot on sight they will
have a better opinion of Americans
and show more disposition to be
lieve them when promises are made
or inducements held out to lay down
their arms.
. But the reports of the improve
ment in the conditions over there
and the numbers that are surrender
ing should be taken with due allow
ance in view of the fact that the
time for the national convennuua
and the national campaign is draw
ing nigh, when the Republicans
will find it necessary to make a
better showing in the expansion
busines's than they have yet made
and thus minimize the Philippine
issue, which will give them trouble
enough even at the best. We have
no doubt that officers in command
in the Philippines have had instruc-
tions to this enect ana tnat mey
will rn-onArate with the eentlemen
on this side who are running the ex
pansion business. As the political
campaign comes on we may be pre
pared for reports that army cam
paigns in those islands are at an end
and everything about ready for the
inauguration of civil government.

Several farmers have not planted but
a little more than half of whit they

A deed of assignment was filed Satur

conveving all the stock, wares and
merchandise contained in his store and
also all his personal estate or Mr. .
E. Litchfort, cashier of the Citizens
Bank, as trustee for the benefit of the

It is said that all creditors will be paid
in full.
Goldsboro Argus: There is rio
doubt that the tobacco crop in Wayje

for replanting could not be had.
Well, it really does not make much
difference to many of our people, fpr
they are disgusted with the raising of
tobacco. With the price at the wjll
and pleasure of one single and solita
ry trust, the farmers work themselves
almost to death to raise a crop of to
bacco and the tobacco trusts pays fpr
the tobacco just what it pleases. j
Raleigh Post: Sunday mornirig
shortly after 1 o'clock the county
treasurer's safe, at Marshall, Madisdn
county, containing the county's funds,
was blown open by burglars and rob
bed of its contents. They got between
five and seven thousand dollars in cold
cash. They entered the store that the
safe was in by raising a window, first
breaking it and drawing the nails, got
the handle of the safe out, put powder
in and blew it open. They would
have been caught, but a train standing
at the depot was blowing in a flsgman
and the explosion was thought to be a
noise from the train. Bloodhounds
will be here on the next train.- There
is not any clue as to who committed
the burglary yet, but it is believed to
be local.

TWINKLINGS.
Convention, which is to be neia in
New York City June 5, would instruct
for Bryan and that it was possible that
a resolution praising Admiral Dewey'
and suggesting his availability for the
nomination for Vice-President would
be adopted.
"Friends of Admiral Dewey say
that he has never said he would not
accept the Democratic nomination for
Vice-President. They believe he could
be prevailed upon to accept the nomi
nation. "Mark Hanna has been predicting
for some time that -the Democratic
ticket would be Bryan and Dewey.
"Mrs. Dewey is said not to be averse
to the Admiral running for the Vice
Presidency. Her friends say that she
is such a staunch Democrat and is so
much opposed to the present Republi-
can aaminisirauon uui sub
gladly consent to the Admiral's ac
ceptance of the Vice Presidential nomi
nation if she thought for a moment
that such a sacrifice would help to de
feat the Republican party and drive
the Republicans out of the White
House, the Cabinet, the departments
and intriguing social political camps
in Washington."
The statement that Hanna thinks
it will be Bryan and Dewey is some
what significant, for Hanna is a very
sagacious observer of the political
current, and he is in a position to
form opinions from his close touch
with other politicians who let
very little escape them. There is
little doubt that this matter has
been discussed in Washington where
The Philadelphia Press t with its
wide sweep telescope has discovered
that "all over the country prominent
Democrats who refused to support
Bryan four years ago are declaring
that they will not support him
now." All over the country promi
nent Democrats who refused to sup
port him then declare they will
now. So there. But in addition to
this there are lots of Republicans
who supported McKinley then , who
will support Bryan next time. So
there yon are again. The long spy
glass of the Press wasn't looking for
this kind of people.
CURRENT COMMENT.
It seems a little remarkable
that the Cuban postal frauds have
created nothing more than a mere
ripple among the natives of the is
land. They were so accustomed to
being robbed by the Spaniards that
the Neely episode appears to them
as samething hardly deserving of
notice. Baltimore Herald, Ind.
J Republican papers refer to
the St. Louis strike as a "prosperity
strike." Well, if this is the kind
of prosperity continues through the
summer, the Republicans will lose
t ? it i. l :
no time in dropping mm enter min
ing definition, for one that better
suit the demagogic necessities of the
McKinley administration. Motile
Register, Dem:
The Philadelphia Press ob
jects to the Democrats criticising the
postal frauds in Cuba. It says:
"The administration discovered me
frauds. It is investigating them.
the Republican politicians have been I it will punish them." To be sure.
Tnr. intprAstAd in Uewev s l And tne administration is aiso re
very
movementssince it was announced
that he would be a candidate for he
Presidential nomination, and have
kept a sharp eye on .him ever since.
', It is a question whether Dewey
would accept. But how could he
consistently decline if the nomina
tion were tendered him ? The latest
interview with him reports him as
saying that he is not a Presidential
candidate in the sense of seeking the
nomination, but he felt it- to be a
duty to obey the call of his
countrymen, if they wanted him to
serve them in that capacity. As a
loyal citizen he felt it his duty to
obey that call. Wouldn't this apply
with equal force to the second plan
on the ticket if his fellow citizens
saw fit to tender him that? Of
course it would. And if he was sin
cere in the statement as to the mat
tor of the Presidency, which 'he
would not feel at liberty to decline,
neither could he without reflection
sponsible for the men who perpe
trated the frauds. There can be no
objection to the administration claim
ing complete ownership of and juris
diction over the Cuban rottenness.

The Spread of Canaries.
Five hundred pounds was two or three
-years ago paid in London for a couple of
canaries, while sums or f 100 have been
frequently given for a prize taking ca
nary. Seventy pounds was paid to
Messrs. Mackley Bros, for a famous Nor
wich crested cock, King of the Cham
pions. ' This was considered the best bird
of its kind. -
The canary bird's first introduction to
Europe forms a strange romance. About
350 years ago a ship returning from the
islands in the Atlantic then called the
Fortunate isles, but which were undoubt
edly the Canaries, went. ashore on the.
coast of Italy neaT Leghorn.. A cage of
birds captured in those islands was bro
ken, and the birds were liberated. They
did not, however,, take refuge on the
Italian mainland, but went to the island
of Elba, where in due time they nested
and bred and increased in numbers. The
Italians discovered that they -were excel
lent singers and began to capture and sell
them in cages. Tit-Bits.

A blatant sample of the loud voiced,
self conscious, look at me variety of map
took his seat in a bus and called to the
conductor:
"Does this bus go all the way?"
"Tea, sir," responded the conductor po
litely. "Does It go as far as Oxford street? I
want to get out there."
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"Well, I want you to tell me when we
get there. You'd better stick a stamp on
your noee or put a straw in your mouth
or tie a knot in one of your lips so that
you won't forget it."
"It would not be convenient for one in
my position to do so," said the conductor
courteously, "but if yon will kindly pin
your ears round your neck I think I shall
remember to tell you." -London Tele-
Prevented A. Tragedy.
Timely information given Mrs.
George, Long, of New Straitsyille,
Ohio, prevented a dreadful tragedy
and saved two lives: A frightful
cough had long kept her awake every
night. She had tried many remedies
and doctors but steadily grew worse
until urged to try Dr. King's New Dis
covery. One bottle wholly cured her,
and she writes this marvelous medi
cine also cured Mr. Long of a severe
attack of Pneumonia. ucn cures are
positive proof of the matchless merit
of this grand remedy for curing all
throat, chest and lung troubles. Only
60c and $1.00. Every bottle guaran

the
improvement scored within j the past
eS in .rtttrm futures was wiped
out within the first hour to day under
active selling br all branches of the
trade and irresistible bear influence.
The opening figures which ' showed a
decline of three to nine points were
about the top for the day and whiie
there were occasional periods or
steadiness on flurries of profit taking
the general ruling of the market was
weak and the trend oi prices
downward. Within the 1 first hour
the opening break was mcreaseu iu
matter of eight and ten points, while
later in the session another spell
of weakness hurried prices off nine to
twenty-five points from last nights
level. The dominating influence was
weakness in the English cotton mar-b-nt
hAM both snot and future deliv
ery cotton suffered, severely from
heavy selling pressure. The Europe
an speculative element was influenced
by good crop and weatner reports irum
the South, together with liberal offer
ings of spot cotton in the belt at low
prices. The New Orleans market was
relatively the weakest on the list,
owing to active bear speculation
prompted by exceptionally good weath
er and crop statements and reports of
additional reductions in spot quota
