When the proposition was made to purchase the lands owned by the riars in the Philippines, it carried with it the demand for the removal of the friars of whom there are now about 400 out of th 1,200 there were a few years ago. These were Governor Taft's instructions when he went to Borne to negotiate with the Vatican. There was no trouble as to the disposition of the lands, -amounting, we believe, in the ag gregate to about 400,000 acres, which they held by Spanish title which is as good as the title by which any other property in the isl ands was held. The demand for the lands and the removal of the friars, came from the Filipinos, who didn't like them, because they were-regarded as adherents of Spain and as enemies of the Filipinos who had airainst Soanish rule. This was nrobablv true, and therefore the friars had few friends among the Filipinos who were fighting Spain. That is why they demanded that the friars be deprived of their lands and driven out of the islanaa If the friars didn't like the Fili pino revolutionists they don't like the Americans any better, and therefore there was no reluctance to listen to the demand for the pur chase of their lands and to their removal from the islands. But there has been a hitch in this part of the negotiations, for it seems that the friars have rights that both the at- ican and this Government will feel bound to respect, and that it will depend a good deal on the friars themselves when they go or whether thev eo at all. The latest in refer ence to the negotiations is contained in tha following Washington dis patch: It now appears that the American mission will recede somewhat from the extreme provisions of its note to the Vatican. This is not unexpected. Secretary Root has consulted Secre tary Hay regarding the enect or sec tion 9 of the peace treaty, which pro vides that all natives of 8pain who owe allegiance to that country will be ... . . wi n? r permuted to remain in in rniiippinca to pursue tneir proiessiona mu wc -jay all the rights of property. The Vatican holds that if th Philippine Government cannot compel the mem bers of religions orders to leave their parihes, the Vatican certaioly can not do so. Officials believe the present negotia tions will not faiL The United Stales GoTernment will not secure every thing it desired, because, even if the Pope were disposed to concede these tb.iags.the negotiations have aeveiopea the fact that although his power is theoretically unlimited, in actuality the internal polities of the Vatican impose conditions even upon the chief prelate of the church which he must observe. Therefore the immediate and complete withdrawal of the Spanish friars from the Philippines is not now expected, bat it is believed that the result desired can be accomplished by an arrange ment for the substitution of friars of other nationality, and the principal is sue at present is as to the time within which this change may be brought about As the friars are gathered almost al together in Manila and are a heavy charge on the convents and members of the Catholic Church outside of the order, who are maintaining them, it is expected that they will hasten the so lution of the problem by themselves voluntarily seeking other fields of labor outside or the archipelago, tor it is not held to be within the power of the United Btates Government to re establish them in their parishes against the desires of the native (Jatholica. Al though Governor Taft must make concessions on this point, he has been successful in other matters, and es pecially so in the matter of religious education in the public schools. The cardinals' committee insisted strongly that any arrangement made with Gov ernor Taft must include some pro vision for religious training in the schools, but it seems now that the committee has consented to an indefi nite postponemet of this issue, which is in itself a satisfactory solution of the case from the viewpoint of the United States. This is supplemented by a dis patch from Borne which states that it is understood that the question of withdrawal could be settled immedi ately if President Roosevelt will con sent to their gradual withdrawal. If that is all an agreement can be reached for of course President Boosevelt will have to consent to that for if he refuses to do that the friars may refuse to move at all and the whole business will fall through. This fact is recognized by Secre tary Hay, who called Secretary Boot's attention to the treaty with Spain by which her sovereignty was transferred to this Government which provides for and protects the rights of Spanish subjects remaining in the islands after the transfer of sovereignty. The friars can claim protection under this clause and insist that this Government protect them in their personal and property rights just as it would protect any other former subject of Spain, and this Government, if it respected the treaty, would be bound to listen to that demand. This has been virtually conceded by this Government in recognizing polygamy and Blayery in the Snlu islands, the excuse or defense (which ever it may be called) for which was that both of these were recognized by treaty between the Moros and Spain and that we sim ply took Spain's place, secured only such rights of sovereignty as Spain possessed, and were therefore bound to recognize both slavery and polyg ing whether we liked it or not. If we feel bound to recognize both polygamy and slavery in the SuIub,. where there are about 300,000 slaves of course we will feel bound to re cognize the title by which these friars hold their lands, the rights they possessed under Spanish rule, and the provisions made in the Paris treaty for them, protecting them in common with other former subjects of Spain. This Government may and proba blv will succeed in getting posses sion of the friar lands, but it will not be so easy to get rid of the friars until the friars get ready to go. They will probably go, as they are not much liked, if we may believe the reports about them, and would find living there under the new rule and nhanp&d conditions not as pleasant for them as it was before. It seems somewhat remarkable in view of the treaty provisions, to which Secretary Hay has called Sec retary Boot's attention, that a per emptory demand should have been made for the withdrawal of the friars, when they could fall back upon that treaty and claim its pro tection. It shows that our negotia tors are either very forgetf nl of treaties of even recent date, or very indifferent to assumed obligations. But this friar business is only one of the tangles which our Philippine grab has gotten ub into. There will he mora of them and it will be a good while before we are through with them. WHO DID ITT There is considerable wrangling going on now between the Bepubli- can politicians as to who is respon sible for the fluke in the Cuban reci procity bosiness. The friends of the President charge it to the beet BUgar Senators, one of whom was Senator .Burton, of Kansas, where the .Re publicans had in their State con vention endorsed reciprocity and were therefore surprised when Sena tor Burton opposed it. He wrote that when he got back he would satisfactorily explain his action, and this is the explanation he made in a speech delivered at Topeka: It is a discussion between Bepubli cans, and not a party question as against the Democrats. .1 deny that the beet sagar Senators were in the minority. If any one-says anything else he falsifies. If thirty-five Repub lican Senators had come to us and said, "We are eoing to pass that bill," they could have done so. They never came to us with such a declaration. On the other hand, they came and encour aged us to keep up the fight. There are not fifteen Republican Senators oat of the Gftv-four who are in favor of the present bill at heart. Beet sugar is a uepuDiicin question oy au thority. This is in accord with statements published heretofore that Senators who pretended to be friendly with the President and in favor of recip rocity were doing all they could in an underhand way to defeat it, their object being not only to defeat it but to weaken Boosevelt as a Presiden tial factor. The New York Tribune, a strong supporter of Boosevelt, commenting i this, scores Burton and the unnamed conspirators, : and con cludes with some remarks showing how the Sugar Trust expects to profit by its victory: While the Question of reciprocity is thus suspended for a few months, it is expected that the sugar interests of the United States, combined on the basis frequently defined by The Tribune, will reach a rich harvest In Cuba. It is said that their agents are already on the ground waiting to gobble up every valuable sugar plantation on the island, whose owners will be com pelled to let go at forced sale. One apparently well authenticated report has it that the $15,000,000 issue of stock made by the Sagar Trust last winter, and whose disposition has not yet been accounted for, will be used to purchase bankrupt sugar estates in Cuba. The Beet Sagar Trust, which has passed into the virtual control of the Havemeyer-Roekefeller group of financiers through their purchase of all the German patents for the util ization of the by-products of the beet root, may be expected to . enter a very weak protest if it raises any objection at all, next winter to the enactment of reciprocity legislation, even on a more liberal scale of tariff reduction than was proposed by the bill which Pres ident Roosevelt and Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, earnestly advocated at the last session. These are plain and undeniable facts that are known to everybody in Washington who has followed closely the remarkable de velopments in the struggle to bring Cuba into intimate and permanent commercial relations with the United States. And yon couldn't get the Repub lican statesmen to touch the Sugar Trust with a forty-foot pole. EDUCATING THt HEQEO. North Carolina isn't making much ado over what she is doing for the education of the negro, but the fol lowing, which we clip from the Baleigh News and Observer, shows how freely she has spent money for that purpose: The amounts paid for negro educa tion from 1874 to the present time are as follows: From 1874 to 1880 $ 696,647 83 From 1880 to 1890 1,916,485 53 From 1890 to 1900 1.843.050 08 1900 and 1901 455,449 73 For 1902, estimated 250,000 00 Normal Schools. Insti tutes, etc 320,000 00 Total.... $5,381,633 17 In 1900 negroes received for schools. $214,001.56; for houses, $9,493.58. a total of $223,495.14. Taxes for 1900 payable on nronertT. $19,649.78; on polls, $109,772.89. Total, $129,422.67. There were 12,000 insol vent polls at $1.50 : each, : making $18,000. Hence the amount paid by necroes was $111,432.67. $233,495.14 minus $111,422.67 eauala $112,072.57,80 the negroes received for schools in 1990 $112,072.57 more than they paid. In ascertaining these figures, the entire expenses of the school superin tendents, of county boards and treas urers' commissions, etc., have been charged up the white fund. iJFwpm.the Zoe receive of the local taxes levied to support graded tA8 "S included. This would perhaps amount to $10,- The entire school tnrtA t-i a that vesr was t963.045.26. The negroes receirnl nearly one-fourtb, but paid nnti j, liillA ofur one-tenth. O' the f 100,000 apportioned to neip needy districts. $82,798 89 was sntout and tb negroes received lor teeny Hf.irtat 20 9in 69. about one-fourlh. This the "white man's Doraen, for the negroes pay but a very small portion of this money. Do not these figures give the lie to the charge by the nepuDiicans that the object of qualified suffrage is to disfranchise the negroes? If that were the object would the white people of this State be thus spend ing their money to educate the ne- o groes and qualify them for suffrage? There has been much talk about illiteracy among the white people of this State, without ever considering or giving them credit for the liber ality they show and the sacrifice thev make in devoting SO much Of the money expended for education to the education of the negroes, thus danrivinir their own ohildren of some of the educational advantages they might otherwise enjoy. The Mayor of Steunbenville, Ohio, isn't a Solomon, but he has sort of a Solomonic way of disposing of neigh' borhood disputes that come before him. When women are arraigned for holding tongue duels across the back yard fence, he locks' them up in a room by themselves. About an honr exhausts the flow of language, when they compromise and gener ally come out friends. The latest sea serpent story comes from Halifax, N. S., where J. J. Hill's yacht had to veer off to give the serpent the right of way. it was heading for the harbor, when it saw the yacht coming ana tacaeu. About fifty feet of the critter was above water, but how much under the story does not relate. Mr. Morgan is going to do up Tur key.

CURRHNT CU.UMKNI One good thing about the crowned heads when they meet is the fact that they do not say long speeches to each other Every kind of a nublic function in the United States is more of a talking matcn . . . m 1 than anything else. Jacksonville Times- Union, Dem. "Private" Dalzell, according to a report from Washington, is en gaged in promoting a scheme for ogamzmg all the "old soldiers" oi the country for a raid on the offices and the Pension .Bureau, and the ap proaching annual meeting of the Grand Army of the Bepnblic is to be utilized for the purpose of getting the movement under way. That blatant demagogue will wreck the Grand Army, if he is given a chance to do so. Philadelphia Telegraph, Rep. Bepublican papers are still harpipg on the Littlefield bill to "do justice to Cuba, which shows how well they appreciate the fact that the Tariff and Trusts constitute the live issue in this Congressional cam paign. But, what does all their talk prove, if it prove anything? That the President would modify the tariff if the party in Congress would agree, and that it will not. The conclusion then for the people is "Elect a Congress that wilL" Brooklyn Citizen, Dem. The "bloody chasm" has cer tainly been closed: the states guards of Illinois have been called out to protect negro citizens who have been disturbed in their rights at the town of Edwards in that state by the white people. The attention of the esteemed Chicago newspapers should be diverted, temporarily, at least. from the sonthern to a more fertile eld of endavor on account of the "downtrodden blacks' nearer home.

About twenty witnesses were exam ined, among them Mayor Boyden, who stated that he thought he recog nized 8parnell's voice in the body of masked men who stormed the jail. Judge 8baw remanded him to jail without bail until Friday. 8heriff Julian received a telegram at 5 o'clock this afternoon from Judge Shaw, who returned to Greensboro on the 3 o'clock train, authorizing him to re lease Thomas Sparnell from custody. It is believed that Judge Shaw, after considering all the testimony, decided that the evidence against Spirneil was not sufficient to warrant his detention. Mr. L A. Peebles, a reputable citl zen of Salisbury, swore that Sparnell was sitting on the court house steps with him when the mob entered the jail yard, and that they remained to gether until after the lynching party was three blocks beyond the jail. It is believed here now that Sparnell's release Is the beginning of the end of the investigation. TWINKLINGS. It is unfortunate - that New York Is troubled with so much illegal thirst. ruck.

The cotton market opened steady, with prices one point higher to one noint. lower anil for the balance of the day followed a rut of five points, with trade at all times tame. The English cables cut little figure as an influAnnn being regarded as a stand-off. The weather report gave showers to moderate rains in the belt and the forecast pointed to more pro cipitation over the central and eaatnrn sections to-night and to-morrow. Spot cotton houses were light buyers of the j uiy anu August options during the forenoon, Liverpool bought January. Then came the weekly crop weather report from Washington, and noted a marked change for the httr i ditions, as compared with one week ago. However, the trade had H in- counted a favorable report aud as sell ing orders were scarce, the depart ment's statement nroduRnd little no effect on the market, which contin ued dull and narrow. Throughout the afternoon the market was featureless with the room auite con ttnt tn o.,' further weather developments in' tbe oeii ana tne caDies from Liverpool to morrow. The close WAS nniat Bill, prices net unchanged to two points lower. Receipts were light, clearances for export were small and the other phases of the statistical situation lack ed new features.

Chicago, July 15 Bulls in the corn pit who engineered the corner in July options abandoned their positions to day and the yellow cereal left to itself fell from its lofty price and floundered twenty cents under yesterday's best figure. Two causes were attributed to the action of this market: The immense arrivals of corn tempted to this mart by the fancy price and settlement with many of the July shorts by the Gates-New York bull clique of corners. Whether the corner had been broken or whether the action of the bull party to-day is simply a bait for the unwary, the trade is yet at a loss to understand. Com mon rumor, however, has it that the July deal is over and all that remains to be done is for the bull crowd to get rid of the cash corn that has been de livered to it. Naturally, most of the interest in grains to-day centered about July corn. As a result the effect of the break was felt in all other grains. Yet natural conditions were bearish enough to break prices and fine weather and lower cables besides the heavy receipts caused such general selling in all the pits that September wheat closed lHc lower, September corn If lc down. July corn 15Jc lower, and September oats ilc lower. Provisions started strong, but could not withstand the pressure of the grain break and closed a shade to 20c lower.
