It is about time for the Philip pines to be "pacified' again, for the election is coming on and it is quite important that the pacification job should at least be nearing comple tion as the election ' approaches. Realizing the importance of this Mr. McKinley some time ago ap pointed another commission, with Judge Taft, of Ohio, at its head, to go to the islands and establish civil governments where they thought it practicable to do so. The commis sion arrived there some time ago, but dkl not follow the course pur sued by the commission which pre ceded it by giving grand balls in Manila and trying to dance the peo ple into submission to the United States. It didn't do that, for the ball scheme fizzled out before the second ball came off, and it showed its good sense by not trying the ball game, although these mercurial peo ple arc said to be passionately fond of the giddy dance. As far as the public knows the present commission hasn't done any thing for the simple reason that it couldn't. The reason why it couldn't is given in the following censored Associated Press dispatch from Ma nila,1 which being censored of course cornea with official sanction. It is lengtty but as it covers the situation more completely than anything we ' have leen lately we give it entire, thus : We quote from the Washing ton Post, a non-partisan, expansion paper: "Majtila, September 2. The Filipi nos seem incapable of realiiing the scope- and purpose of the legislative functions of the commission of peace. There is no possibility of separating the legislative from the executive branches of the government, and, therefore, the commission's announce ment of its assumption of power yes terday has met with childish comment at the hands of the Spaniards and for eigners, who jealously sneer at the new arrangement, as they are apt to do at every beneficial innovation on the part of the United States authorities. "The commission enters upon the governmental field under the follow ing conditions: A majority of the islanders desire peace and the resump tion of business under the Americans, but they are so cowed by a long series of murderous atrocities and destruc tion of property by their armed coun trymen that they dare not actively show their feelings, especially because experience has taught them what such an expression of sentiment will bring upon them from the mercilessly re vengeful rebels. A genuine reign of terror is exercised by insurgents and ladrones over peaceful country folk in order to collect the revenue and re cruits their operations require, and widespread vengeance is wreaked in the vicinity of garrisoned towns. 'Tor example, the insurgent Gen. Cailles, in the province of Laguna, put to death the president and office holders of the town of Bay, on Laguna de Bay, officials who had been in stalled by the Americans, and gave orders that a similar fate should be meted out to other adherents of the American cause. He also ordered that all Filipino soldiers who sold their rifles to the Americans should be killed. ''-y, change of policy involving the withdrawal of the United States troops without substituting for them an adequate defensive force, is certain to result in fearful retaliation at the expense of the friendlies. The ap-proachingire-patriation of the volun teers tends to influence the situation unfavorably. In Northern Luzon the status quo is fairly well maintained and the peo ple in inat quarter are quiet and en gaged in planting, except in the prov inces of Nueva Ecija and Bulacan, where there has been a recent out burst ox rebel and ladrone activity. Bat in Southern Luzon conditions are far from satisfactory. Life there is not safe outside the garrisoned towns. Travellers are subject to am bush by guerillas. Barely does a day pass without an encounter between the United States troone and the in surgents or ladrones, resulting in cas ualties, xnereare 18.000 troons in that district. Gen. Bates commanding. and in three regiments over a third of the men are sick. The activity of the enemv increased last month. There is evidence that the insurgents have come into possession of new rifles and that they wish to annihilate some small American garrison. "Conditions in the Visavans con Untie virtuallv unchanired. The lack of troops in Samar prevents aggres sion. Negros, Bomblon, Maabate, Sibuyan, Tablas and Bohol are tran nnil all desirinsr civil government. Mindanao is also tranquil, : excepting ihA districts of Tea pa van and Sungam, where occasional encounters with the FiliDinos occur. The enemy's fight ing force there is limited, but it has a number or nnes. xne surrenaers, al though they have noticeably decreased since Mar. continue. "The experience of Northern Luzon shows that the American occupation of any locality tends to its pacification and well-being. An unsettled Ameri can Doliev retards the investment of capital. Nevertheless the imports for the last quarter and a half were greater than during any equal per.'od of the Spanish regime. No doubt the needs of the army of occupation are respon sible for a very considerable fraction of the present commerce. The inter nal revenue collections are a third greater than those made by Spain. This is due to an honest system of ac counts, to a lack of favoritism, and to impartial enforcement of the law. . "The military authorities will turn over $6,000,000 (Mexican) to the com mittee, and this will probably be ex pended in public improvements, no tably in harbor developments, the need of which is to-day greatly hamp ering the shipping industry. "The commission will first organize municipalities in the provinces, nota bly in Pampanga province. Subse quently it will turn its attention to need reforms in the civil and criminal codes, passing in due time to other features of its instructions, with the idea of establishing a central civil government during the next eighteen months. Twelve Americans, including two captains and two lieutenants, have been killed during the past two weeks. The official reports of the encounters in which these casualties occurred are meager." This repeats the old sterotyped rot that the masses of the people' are loyal, that they are friendly to the Americans but are afraid to show their friendship.though terror of the armed "ladrones" and "brigands who wreak vengeance upon them if they do, and although we . have 65,000 troops on the islands, located. in 275 garrisons, they are not able to protect their friends from the venge ance of these hostile bands. This comes through a semi-official report, but does not tally with other re ports which come to us from unof ficial sources, and represent the people as a body as treacherous, pre tending friendship while ever ready to shoot our soldiers in the back at the first opportunity and always secretly aidiLg the "insurgents." supplying them with food and other necessaries and collecting money to aid them. This is done by secret organizations, the members of which profess friendship to the United States, and in the city of Manila right under the eyes of the General in command. It is even said that the Filipinos employed as spies spy upon our troops and supply the en emy with much valuable informa tion. But without any testimony of that kind there is enough in this "cen sored" dispatch to show that the work of pacification has hardly be gun, ana that instead oi iewer troops there is really need for more. These people have no confidence in Americans, but they showed that be fore when the other commission which tried the big ball scheme was there. " If 65,000 troops are not enough to pacify those people when the masses of them as alleged are friendly and the trouble comes only from the "guerillas" and "brigands" how are we going to get along with less and what will we do to supply the places of those whose terms expired in Jnly? Will we keep them there by appeals and , other methods a3 Gen. Otis did the volunteers whose terms had expired while he was in command? Doesn't it look as if we had made a queer mess of it when after two years and a quar ter of occupation the lives of people suspected of sympathy with the United States are not safe when out side of the protection of American guns? And these are the islands that were "pacified" more, than twelve months ago. Contradicting the published re port that Senator Jones, of Nevada, will support McKinley, Mr. H. M. Gorham, a relative of the Senator, writes that he is in full accord with the Democratic party on every ques tion but the tariff, and as he regards that as practically settled, for the present at least, he will heartily support Bryan and Stevenson. Jones, like Stewart, was once a Re publican, but unlike- Stewart he refuses to go back to the wallow. Hit Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a won derful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. i expected to soon die of Con sumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it. and now am well and strong. I can't aay too much in its praise."

We take it for granted .that the men in this State now called "Mc Kinley Democrats," who voted for white supremacy at the August elec tion, were sincere and really desired white snpremacy. Not a single one of them, we take it, would admit that he is in favor of negroes hold ing office in North Carolina, and yet, because the Democratic plat form does not meet his approbation in every particular, he rejects that, opposes its candidates, accepts the Republican platform and supports its candidates. That party believes in putting negroes in office (in the South, but not in the North), and candidate McKinley, for whom they say they will vote and for whom they ask the white voters of North Carolina to vote, has appointed scores of negroes to office in this and other Southern States, and sometimes in the face of the pro tests of nearly every white person in the community. These, too, were mainly omces in which the negroes came into direct contact with the white people. With what show of consistency, then, can a man who professes to believe in white supremacy, and votes for it, support a party which declares that politically the negro is the equal of the white man, vote to perpetuate it in power and to elect to office the man who has appointed scores of negroes to office in spite of the pro- testa of white people? The only possible, excuse for such self-contra diction would be a pledge by the candidate voted for that he would cease to appoint negroes to office, a pledge, it is needless to Bay, that Mr. McKinley would not make if he were asked to do so, and which he could not make without virtually re pudiating the declarations of the party to which he beloDgs. When a so-called "McKinley Democrat" casts his vote for Mc Kinley he substantially says to the Republican party: "Give us legisla tion that will put money in my pocket and you can put all the ne- ngroes you want to in omce in North Carolina. When it comes to deciding between the profits I make and white supremacy, I vote for the profits and let white supremacy go by the board. As between dollars in my pocket and negroes in office, I'll take the dollars, and let the negroes go in, however repugnant that may be to other white people." EXIT HOLTOy, ENTER PEITCH- ARD. A Raleigh dispatch informs us that at a meeting of the Republican State Executive Committee held in Raleigh, Monday, Chairman Holton tendered his resignation, "to attend to official business," and that at his suggestion Senator Pritchard was chosen his successor. There is nothing surprising in Holton's resignation, for the prob abilities are that he was given to un derstand that his resignation would be acceptable if he hadn't d;scov- ered that by the loud complaint at what was called his "bungling man agement" in the last campaign, to which was attributed the overwhelm ing defeat of the fusionists. And then, perhaps, it was thought that Senator Pritchard would have a stronger pnll on Hanna's barrel than the discredited Holton, weighted down with a couple of overwhelm ing defeats, and they were probably right in that. The dispatch further announces that "there was a strong sentiment manifested in the committee in favor of giving the business men of the State who are in sympathy with the policies of the McKinley ad ministration the right of way in several Congressional districts." This is cute, so to speak, and is vir tually a bribe, a bid to so called "McKinley Democrats' who may hanker for congressional honors to step in with the assurance of Re publican backing. It will be noted that they say "several districts" which means that they will invite those "business men" who may be in politics for business, to try their luck in the districts which are Democratic or in their estimation doubtful, while they will reserve the districts which they consider Bafely itepuDiican ior some oi tne itepu oil can patriots. It remains to be seen what so- called Democratic "business man" will "bite at this bait. The "busi ness man that does will be so evi dently on "buBinesa" intent, that he will find it uphill tramping among people who put their own estimate on men who are so easily tempted and bribed.

Greenville Belector: On last Friday night the store of J. J. Batter thwaite & Bro., at Pactolus, was broken into by robbers. The entrance was made by prizing open the back donr. The robbers got no money, and only about $20 worth of goods, con sisting mainly of liquor, pistols and shoes, has been missed. Kinston Free Press: Mr. Hoge Irvine brought a party of negro stem mers from Danville, Ya.. to work in his steramery. After paying their way here he was very much chagrined to find that 14 of them had skipped. He vent over to Greenville in search of his stemming tourists and returned last niglit with eight of them, as happy as distillery hogs and in nowise ashamed of seeking to leave him in the hole Salisbury Sun: At Mr. Albert Miller'srin Davie county, squirrels are very plentiful. Mr. Miller allows them to go into bis corn cribs when ever they please and they have eaten about 10 bushels of his corn this year. He counted 15 making for his crib one day and got after them and killed sev eral, but he usually lets them have thir way and one can see them in his 3 ard almost any time. Mr. Miller seems verr much attached to his wild y. ts and he hardly ever kills any of ihem. i Clarkton Express: Mr. Ilenry Cromartie, of Garland, died last week after a long and painful illness. A horrible double murder was perpe trated in a section called Crusoe, in Columbus county, last Wednesday. Two men by the name of Register, father and son, and a man by the name of Lewis were surveying land. A dispute arose between them, when Lewis whipped out his knife and cut young Register to death. Where upon Register, senior, rushed up with a limb, striking Lewis to the earth and killicg him. Thus, according to a spectator, was presented the ghastly sight of two slaughtered men lying within a few feet of each other. Asheville Citizen: Only a few days ago Benj. M. Collins, keeper of the Swannanoa lodge on the Biltmore estate, while going about his work on the big farm discovered what at once struck him as being the longest snake he had ever seen, heard or read about. More than this, its color did not mate exactly. Mr. Collins knows snakes when he sees them, but in this instance he rubbed his eyes and looked again to be sure that he was making no mistake. The second look only confirmed him in his belief and he proceeded to make it hot for the snake. When the reptile had been dispatched Mr. Collins made a closer inspection, and was startled to find that what he supposed was one snake was really two. The reptiles, one a king snake and the other a black, had evidently ' engaged in a battle to the death. The king sprang at the black, which received it with open mouth, in which it landed fairly. The black was by luck given the upper hand, reversing the usual order of things in such battles, and began the task of swallowing its enemy. It had partially succeded, when Mr. Collins appeared and put an end to the strug gle. When killed the king snake's head was fitted in the black's mouth as tightly as a lady's hand in a new glove.

The Grand Army of the Re public is wasting time and labor when it upbraids the South for re pudiating histories written for the purpose of disparaging the motives and the courage of Southern men. Some day the history of the Civil War may be written with Buch breadth and fairness that it can be used in all the schools, both North and South. Until such a history is written, however, the South will be compelled to draw the line on pub lications that are grossly unfair and prejudiced, and to substitute books which, even if defective, will at least not bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of Southern children.

The most amusing thing about that peculiar bird the toucan was to see him preparing to roost, and he began Quite early, while other birds were still wide awake. The first thing was to carefully cock up for It was a slow and cautious proceeding hla absurd little scut of a tall, which was only about three or four inches long. This must In some way have affected his balance, for he never moved on the perch after the tail had boon laid care fully back. Then, later in the even ing, he gently turned the huge, un wieldy bill around by degrees until It, too, was laid along his back and buried In feathers In the usual bird fashion. By the way, I liave always wonder ed how and why the myth arose that birds sloop with their heads under their wings. A moment's thought or obser vation would show that it is quite as impossible a feat for a bird as for a human being. , However, the toucan's sleeping ar rangements resulted in producing an oval mass of feathers supported on one leg,- looking as unlike a bird as it Is possible to imagine. When he was ruthlessly awakened by a sudden poke or noise, which, I grieve to state, was often done in my absence, needless to say I heard that he invariably tum bled down In a sprawling heap, being unable to adjust the balance required by the popderous bill all in a moment.

Telegraph to the Moral d Star. ijv iukk, oepiemoer a. it was another trying day for the bears in all couon marKeis, mougn notably m Liverpool and New York. The bulls were merciless in their . attacks upon the shorts and eventually "drove the latter into a frenzy. Nearly evtry thing favored a continuance of the sensational bull movement star:ed yesterday morning here and on Satur day iu the English market. The cables were amazingly strong. There were buying orders in frreat numbers from all quarters, the print cloth and cotton goods situation changed from one of gloom to an exceptionally bright outlook, while Southern spot markets were reported to be thriv ing upon heavy demands from exporters. At the time of our open in g Liverpool was five to nine nninta higher, or far above an expected fair response to yesterday's great improve ment there. This at once caused de moralization iu the bear ranks and in duced leading bulls to aggressively operate on the lone side. First salM showed an advance of five to thirteen points, with the market officially re ported steady.

Near mid day the retreat of the hara developed into a complete rout and the demand from this branch nt trade, in connection with the invest ment buying, gave the market an exceedingly strong undArtnnA After a brief period of inactivity the market once more took an upward di rection in the early afternoon and soon surpassed the high point of the morning. Prices advanced with re markable ease, there beinc nmnffoai. ly no opposition offered and profit taking being light. The announce ment that 500.000 cloths had been sold in Fall River and that the cloth market sitnati ws the brightest in manv wnki in. gether with the announcement that the American spinners were compet ing for supplies with the foreign manufacturing element in Southern markets, added to the Woes nf nn. sold operators and act, d as a fresh in centive to a higher market.
