especially uie oouinern people, so
that his speech was made more to
; them than to the lawyers. Scatter

' many things about which the law
yen whom he addressed Knew as
much as he aid, it was a remarjcaoie

ttuu ; uut . miveiuer upprupriato
speech. Hut the lawyers who were
there and couldn't set away had to
make the best of their unpleasant
predicament and sit it out.
The .noteworthy portions of his
speech were his reference to our in-
. i ,3 i.: i
the administration plan of govern
ment, and defence of independence
in politics. He does not believe
that the people of those islands are
competent for self government and
asked why should the people of Ala
bama, who are now proceeding
'through their constitutional con
vention to eliminate the incompe-
. tent element from politics, find
fault, with the McKinley adminis
tration for doing the same thing
that they and other Southern States
are doing. He, like ex-Senator
Pngh, says we have the islands taken
from Spain, and asks what are we to
do with, them? "Are we to govern
them or let them govern us?"
With all due respect to Mr.
Herbert we are not reduced to that
dilemma, for they can't govern us
nor take any part in governing us
until they have representation in
proportion to'their numbers in the
' XJ. S. House of Representatives and
' the Senate, and that they will never
Herbert to talk of their governing
: j At i i j e i
us ana on mat presentation oi tne
case argue our right and the wisdom
of our governing them.
Mr. Herbert was in Mr. Cleve
land's cabinet when the "Republic"
of Hawaii was seeking recognition
from this Government. Mr. Cleve
land wasn't satisfied with the method
of establishing the Republic, or
how far it was supported by the
people, and therefore he sent "par
amount commissioner" Blount to
. investigate and report, and he never
did recognize that Republic. The
people of Hawaii might not have
been competent for self-rule, but
Mr. ' Cleveland believed they had
some right to say what kind of a
government they should have. Mr.
Herbert doubtless agreed with him
in that.
The Filipinos have as much right
to be consulted as to the govern
; ment established over them as the
Hawaiian s had, and Mr. Herbert's
friend, Grover Cleveland, would
htTA art hold if ho hart Kaon Pfnoi.
. dent when the war with Spain ended.
What we contend for, and what
every man who believes in the prin- j
rvipiosui. uvuxwinvj cQuteuua lor,
is that being separate peoples.-the
inhabitants of those islands should
have the privilege of self-govern
ment, and that we have no right
to govern them because we think
do it for themselves, which may
possibly be - true. There is no par
ity bet ween the cases of these islands
and the Southern States, which by
his question, Mr. Herbert would
- make it appear.
-
There is a wav out of that diffi-
cmij wiinoui aoing injustice to
these people or running the risk of
a. -j
being ''governed by them,"' and
that ia to let them orrwaVrn ham.

He took occasion in this connec
tion to commend the Alabama Dem
ocratic papers which refused to sup
port Bryan, the candidate of their
party; and the handful of Alabama
Democrats who did likewise. They
were very much pleased with this
part of his speech.
But when Mr. Herbert waselected
several times to Congress by the
Democrats of his district he did not
believe so much in "independence
in politics" nor in kicking against
party platforms. He then believed
that loyalty to party was commenda
ble and something to be applauded.
When he kicked against the Demo
cratic platform and nominees in 1896
he kicked himself out of the party,
and doubtless has been somewhat
lonesome since. "Perhaps he is tired
being lonesome, would like to start a
little party of his own, and took this
opportunity to inaugurate the work
of trying to McLaurinize Alabama.
In this he will be simply playing as
sistant tb the Republican party, as
he was in 1896 when he was running
with the little gold contingent.
MORE HYPOCRISY.
It is the regulation thing with the
Republican papers in the North
which discuss the restricted ' f ran
chise movement in Southern States
to say that what they object to is
not restricted or qualified suffrage,
but discrimination made between
the negro and the white man in
favor of. the white man, Ironywhich
it may, be inferred that if a white
man were disfranchised for every
negro that is they would not object
so much, if at all. x
They are driven to this fraud by
the course pursued by the McKin
ley administration in withholding
the ballot from the people of the
insular acquisitions on the ground
that they lack the necessary intelh
gence and experience to qualify them
for suffrage. They therefore can
not find fault with the Southern
States for taking steps to protect
themselves from the unfit and in
competent element on which the
Republican party conferred suffrage
when, to punish the South, it put
the emancipated slave, "the bottom
rail," on top. But we do not go far
enough and disfranchise enough to
suit these organs. We do not in
clude white men enough in the
limitations, and they exclaim that if
suffrage were based on intelligence,
and that alone, it would be all right.
They are simply playing fraud in
that, for if they were honest in it
they would be advocating quali
fied suffrage, suffrage based on in
telligence, in their own States.
They are not doing that. A few of
the Eastern States have educational
qualifications, butthey were not
inspired so much by the desire to
have an intelligent electorate as to
disfranchise the foreign element of
their populations, more of whom
than of natives would be disfran
chised by educational qualifications.
They wanted to . get rid of the
foreign vote just as we want to get
rid of the negro vote, although
the foreign vote was not a tithe
of as serious a factor with them
as the negro vote is with us.
The organs which are criticising
the South and pretending to favor
suffrage based on intelligence, are
simply playing this . fraud because
this is the only thing they can play
to keep up the agitation against the
South, since the administration
at Washington has turned the dark
skinned natives of our insular pos
sessions down.
THE A&XA WrDEHUTG.

The oil excitement seems to have
spread throughout all the country
west of the Pennsylvania oil fields
and east of the Alaska border. . A
little while ago they were discussing
the, probable extent of the Texas
fields, but now the question is not
so much where oil may but where it
may not be found. Borings have
demonstrated that it exists and in
abundance in sections where a few
years ago its existence was not
thought of. Since the tapping of
those great gushers at Beaumont, in
Texas, a number of others have
been opened in Louisiana at dis
tances so far apart as to indicate a
wide field in that State. It has been
found in Florida, AlabamaGeorgia
and in new sections of Tennessee and
Kentucky, and since then it has
been found in Kansas, reported
finds come from Iowa, and the big
gest gusher of all has been opened
in the Creek Nation in the Indian
Territory. .
The number of these finds and
their localities, and the fact that
they cover an area extending from
the Gulf to the Lakes and from the
Alleghanies to the Pacific, is proof
that oil in a greater or less quantity
underlays this whole country and
that it will be iound inr. workable
quantities throughout a vast area.
Of course the quantity and the
profit in it will depend upon the
geologies) formation, just as flow
ing or abundance of rwater in -arte
sian wells depends upon the geolog
ical formation, although water may
be found anywhere. While these
discoveries, are a good thing for the
country . generally, they ; will be a
godsend, if found in . abundance, to
Kansas and Iowa, where fuel is
scarce and where , they are so de
pendant '. in winter on. coal trans

unless he was so stupefied that he
was unconscious all the time the
silent, deadly drama was being play
ed between the-fork of the roads at
Moore's crossing and a small field on
the road and Speed, near which the
deceased lived. He was here Satur
day afternoon and left in the evening
on a cart On his way out he was
met on the road and passed, and this
was the last seen or heard of him
alive. Next morning he was found
lying stark and stiff in death in this
field, with the mule a hundred yards
away and still hitched to his cart
Just after turning off from the Tar-boro-Lawrence
road the cart gave a
lurch and the sleeping driver lost his
equilibrium. He fell sideways, his
head passing between two spokes of
the wheel. The mule did not become
frightened, but the body prevented
the whiel from turning, and this in
creased pull caused the animal to
slow up and eat on first one side and
then the other till the field was slowly
reached. The human brake was still
effectually applied and continued for
some time till the mule backed. . This
movement caused the body to roll to
the ground, where it remained till
found.

they had gone he alarmed tbe neigh
borhood and a posse was organized
with township constable J. W. Carter
at the head. The men were soon run
down and captured. When they were
brought to ail here last night they
both confessed to being escaped con
victs. One gave his name as Charles
Hair, from Wilkes ' county, and the
other as E. M. Fedder, of Mitchell

to the penitentiary for murder. One
shot and killed his rival in love dur

killed a young man during a dispute
over a game of craps. Hair was serv
ing a ten year sentence and had only
11 months longer to stay. Fedder was
just entering on a five year's sentence.

The peasantry, animated by the strong

just as in modern days they assemble

It was not a very formidable under

the roadside was usually selected for
the site. - At the side of the trench an

Young trees and wattles cut from the

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Mornlns Star.
New York, Juiy 3. Cotton was
irregular to day with the trade ex
tremely nervous. With a holiday on
one hand, a drought in Texas on the
other and with a monthly govern
ment report, room operators were
easily frightened to unload or cover
shorts, just as the leaders dictated.
On the opening the market was quiet
with prices one point lower to two
points higher. For a time tbe market was
steady, but absence of outside support,
with liquidation of July 'and August
holdings by smaller interests turned
the market decidedly downward
before midday. October dropped ; to
7.53 and January to 7.56, while the
July option sank to 8.46. Wall street
bought July at the start and on the
break was a fair seller of October.
Then came the bureau report, giving,
an average crop condition of 81.1. For a
moment the report was without effect,
then some of the - more courageous
shorts sold prices down two points in
the hope of starting liquidation by
wavering longs. But for the next two
hours the marked took a strong up
ward direction and at the best figures
was twelve to fifteen points above the
low level of the day, August rallied to
7.87, October to 7 66, and January to
7.68. Towards the close realizing by
pit scalpers caused a decline of five to,
six points.- The close - w as barely
steady with prices net five points low
er to three points higher.
