When war was declared against Spain" and a call was made for troops and was so patriotically re sponded to by men of all parties and all sections, it was loudly proclaimed that it was not a party war, although directed by a Republican administra tion, but a war of the American people, but no socmer had our troops begun to win victories than the Re publican politicians began to claim the glory for the Republican party. When peace was declared with Spain they gave all the glory to the Re publican administration, and this is one of the strong claims they now make why Mr. McKinley should be re-elected. When it came ip call ing f or men to shoulder rifles and fight battles it was a non-partisan war, but when it came to making disposition of he troops and ap pointing commanders it didn't take long for the politics to crop out. 4 One of the fullest, tersest, and at the same time most truthful arraign ments on this line that we have yet "seen" was made by a writeivwho signs himself "a Republican" (who will vote for Bryan,) in a communication to the Brooklyn, N. Y., Citizen. There are in the indictment fifteen counts as follows: 1. Two Colonial satraps sent by President McKinley to govern Cuba have been caught at the crime of rob bing the Cuban postofficesjrf $600,000. One of them was Mr. McKinley's good friend, Mr. Rath bone. 2. That the war now waged against the Filipinos is not a war waged by the American people, or the American government, or even the Republican party, but a personal conflict between Mr. McKinley on one hand 'and the Filipinos on the other. He is waging it very much as he might carry on a tiger hunt for his personal pleasure and incidentally for profit, in a politi cal sense. 3. That the men who are howling most loudly about "following the flag" are following it 10,000 miles' away from the scene of armed conflict. They manage to keep 10,000 miles away from its folds when there is fir ing going on at the front 4. That not one man who favors war on, or the subjugation of the Filipinos is at the front . 6. That the wars against Spanish despotism and Filipino independence have been conducted in the interest of the Republican party so far as the management of them was concerned. For example, General Shafter. a Mich igan Republican, was placed in com mand of the Cuban expedition. He was jumped over the head of his com mander. Gen. N. A. Miles, a Major General. 6. Captain Sampson, a 'Republican and a protege of T. C. Piatt, was Claeed la command et tV - -- -av nniciimu fleet over the head of Commodore . 8chley, a Democrat who outranked him, and other ranking naval officers. 7. That regiments commanded by Re publican colonels were allowed to go , to Cuba for the purpose of making a cheap military reputation without un dergoing any risk. Take, for example, the Seventy-first Reeiment, com manded by Colonel F. V. Greene, one of the engineers of the local Republi can machine in Manhattan ; the Rough 'Riders, commanded by Colonel Teddy Roosevelt the song and dance war artist and the Fourth Ohio Regiment, commanded by one of Mr. McKinley's personal friends. That regiments com posed mainly of Democrats (or com manded by Democrats) like the Four teenth of Brooklyn, the Forty-seventh . of Brooklyn, the Sixty-ninth of New York and of the Democratic Southern regiments were kept at home or in camps, so that none of the glory of victory might reflect on them. 8. That Frederick D.JGrant, Colonel Francis V. Greene, General Merritt. - Colonel Wood, "Colonel" Roosevelt General Otis and every other military commander advanced to commands of prominence were Republicans, Gen- crat was the only exception, and wnen no went vu mo umirifms. ug was pushed aside so that he might not . At ( 1 J. II . i .. m lmm 11a in&re in wo iimeiigiii uiruwu vj -ur, ' 9. That the Fourth Ohio. Regiment was brought home from Porto Rico on 1898, paraded through . the . White privilege of shaking hands with the American Emperor's hand; that that regiment was shipped borne at once to unio to as siit tne Administration in defeating a Democratic Congres sional nominee, the Hon. John Lentz. 10. That every Philippine commls sion appointed thus far has been made up of Republican politicians and Dem ocrats known only for their treachery to tne Democracy. 11. That official documents bearing on Mr. McKinley's war with the Fili pinos have been withheld for "no rea son of State" for months, and then sprung on the public toward the close oi a political campaign for political ei fect 13. That army commissions and places of military responsibility were given to the incompetent sons of Re publican politicians, and that not only the health but the lives of thousands of American soldiers were thereby j i jeopardized. i - 13. That the treatment of many sol diers who took part in the Spanish war was such as to call forth the con demnation of General Miles and near ly every regular army officer in the service. They, it will be remembered. joined in the denunciation of the em balmed beef scandal. 11. That the man (General Eatran). who at the behest of the Republican Administration, bought the notorious food supply from a firm noted for its friendship to Mr. McKinley, was re warded by a six years' leave of absence. 15. That the President's brother was the recognized aeent for the contrae tors who supplied the Government with embalmed beef, rotten transport Personally McKinley is a very esti mable and amiable gentleman, about as free from sectional prejudice as the average man, but as a politician, and when it comes to making ap. pointments or showing favors, is sec tional enough to give his section the preference. This preference and partiality were most marked in the conduct of the Spanish war, and have continued to be so marked ever since. The only two military men of promi nence from the South who received any noticeable recognition from the administration were Generals Wheeler and Lee, and both of these were in time practically buried, It was generally thought that when Cuba was invaded the com mand of the troops would be as signed to Gen. Lee who had been in Cuba and who so bravely upheld the dignity of this country and having been in Cuba while the war was pro gressing between the Spanish troops and the Cubans, was naturally sup posed to be familiar with the condi tions and to that extent better fitted for the command than one who had never been there and knew of the situation only by reading the daily news. But Alger wanted a chum in command and he called his Michigan friend Shafter, who was a dead weight from the beginning and about as fit 'for the position as a drum major would be to take com mand of the allied armies in China. The victories that were won were won in spite of and not under the direction of Shafter. But Shafter was Alger's friend and a Republi can. ' . Gen. Wheeler achieved some dis tinction, not because he was put where it would come to him, but because he with his impetuous dash stepped over the regulation red tape, ignored the routine and took the shortest cut to the' enemy and to victory. Wheeler simply forced them to recognize him, and showed himself so agreeable to Mr. McKin ley afterwards that he could not well throw him off without making some recognition of his services. He couldn't resist Wheeler's importu nities and Bent him to the Philip pines, assigned to Otis, who did his levei best to bury him, which final ly disgusted him and provoked his resignation, General Lee is still practically se questered in that governorship, a subordinate position with little re sponsibility and less glory in it. After all the grand flourish about these wars being non-sectional and non-partisan, these two representa tive men -of the South were the only two who received any special recognition, and ihat didn't amount to much. Speaking of the result of the re cent parliamentary elections in Eng land, Lord Strathcona, High Com missioner of Canada, says "there is a wave of imperialism sweeping irre sistibly over Europe " In other words, a land-grab wave. He calls it "imperialism" because he isn't afraid of the word. But the im perialists in this country are trying to fool people by calling it expan sion. That wave which is sweflninsr over Europe has also struck them. Speaking of that lie about Bryan being paid to keep the silver plank in the Kansas City plat form, Mark Hanna says he doesn't believe it, that while "Bryan is a demagogue, he is not dishonest." Jrerhaps Hanna thinks a demagogue can be honest. .. Bryan doesn't and neither does any other honest man. Mark Twain says "England is the best friend we have in Europe, and we are, the only friend that England has in the world," which will iro a long way to accounting for' British inenasnip for us. She feels the need of our friendship and can there fore swap. . . Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

If there be any thing in popular demonstrations, in the- crowds that greet and in the eagerness they show to hear Wm. J. Bryan the Dem ocrats have good grounds for their hopes and the Republicans much cause to feel alarmed. Their 'main dependence is the money that Mark Hanna will have to put "where it will do the most good." Proof that they are becoming desperate is given in the lies they are circulating about Bryan, some of which he stopped to notice in some of the speeches he delivered in Illi nois Tuesday. One of these is the circulation of an editorial criticising pension methods, which appeared in an Omaha paper several years ago. Mr. Bryan was at one time principal editorial writer for that paper, and although .that editorial appeared be fore he became connected with it, they are circulating it as if writ ten by himl They know bet ter for the men who are playing that fraud on the pensioners know when that article appeared and know that Mr. Bryan was not then connected with that paper. Another lie is that about his re ceiving a big sum of money for hav ing the silver plank inserted in the national platform, a lie started by a man who, gave as his authority a young woman who makes a sworn statement that she never said what this man attributed to her nor any thing like it. ( Another . is that - Bryan gets pay for the speeches he delivers in this campaign, which is so utterly absurd that the surprising thing is that anyone pretending to ordinary common sense would be fool enough to start it. These are a sample of the lies sent out and the campaign has nearly a month to run yet. A REHHTDER. TO US. LAWTOH. Mr. A. R. Lawton, of Savannah, Ga., is one of the so-called "Mc Kinley Democrats" who wants to vote for McKinleyf and is seeking for a pretext or an excuse for so doing. He says in a letter written H some time ago to the New York Sun that the reason why the South has been so solidly Democratic is on ac count of the negro problem, that if this were out of the way there would be lots of white Republicans in the South. In another letter cf Sept. 29th he said: "My first letter was written for the purpose of showing you, as an ardent Republican, what reasons restrain most Southerners from voting with you. ' They believe Mr. McKinley to be the representative of negro domina tion, and for them the alternative pre sented in this campaign is, indeed, an awful one. I think otherwise, and be lieve that by voting for McKinley in this election I am helping to speed the day when the negro question will be eliminated from Southern politics." And he is simple enough to think, if he expresses his honest senti ments, that by voting for McKinley he will be helping to solve the negro question as far as appointing negroes to office goes. The News, of Savan nah, of which city Mr. Lawton is a resident, reminds him how much mistaken he may be by quoting the following from a speech by Gen. Grosvenor, a close friend and a gen erally accepted mouthpiece of Presi dent McKinley, delivered at Evans ton, some time ago, when he said; . "There lives not one man who ao utterly condemns or despises discrimi nation against individuals bv reason of color or race, as does William Mc Kinley. His life has been one strug gle in favor of the promotion of equal . ? . L i . s li ti " ngnu oi ail." Is there anything in this or has there been any intimation from any source that in the event of McKin ley's election, he will not pursue the same course that he has pursued in appointing negroes to office in the South, even against the universal sentiment and protest of the white people in the communities in which these appointments were made? Voting for McKinley to get rid of negro officeholders is about the sil liest and thinest of all the thin pre tences yet made. When Teddy Roosevelt said to his friend, Jordan Starr, "I wish to God we were off the Philippines and had them off our hands, and many other Republicans' feel the same," he was not talking for publi cation, but he doubtless meant it. He didn't wish half as strongly as Hanna did when he said he wished the Philippines were "at the bottom of the sea." It wouldn't be surpris ing if he still continued to wish them so much wetness. The Washington Post would like to know what the administration is doing about Mr. Neely, the Indiana hustler, who sequestrated so much of that Cuba postoffice money. It is doing nothing until after the elec tion and will then do as little as possible. Mr. Neely is an orthodox, regulation Republican. The "advisory committee" of the Republican party, which was chosen to help Hanna with advice, etc., principally etc, have 'full dinner pails." There are thirty-three of them, whose aggregate wealth is over $100,000,000. LOOK! A STTTCH Ilf TIRIB. 5H?8 nln?- Hughes' Tonic new Improved, taste pleasant taken in early Spring and Fall pre eat?

Politics and Senatorial Primaries. Attending Plre Chiefs' Meellof. f . Capt. James D. McNefll of Fayetta ville and president of the North Caro lina State Firemen's Association, who is as well and favorably known , in Wilmington as he is in his own town, is in Chatle8ton attending the meeting of Fire Chiefs ' and Monday he had a talk with a reporter of the News and Courier. He is quoted as follows re garding Tar Heel politics; "James D. McNeill, known of polit ical circles as the "Dick" Croker in the third district of North Carolina, was in the city yesterday; Mr. McNeill, be sides exercising a tremendous "nom inating" power iu his State, represents the sixteenth district in the State Sen ate. "We are going to have a warm Sen atorial fight this fall, "he said. "Marion Butler's term expires shortly and as Populism and Republicanism are dead issues in North Carolina, the Demo crats are going' to have things their own way. "There are four candidates; all strong mau. But of the four I think F. M. Simmons is going to win. He is opposed by Julian Carr, a man known all over the country as a phil anthrophist; Ex-Governor Jarvis, who is'a former Senator and minister to Bra zil, and Alfred Waddell, mayor of the city of Wilmington. "The Democracy of North Carolina is going to adopta wrinkle of South Caro lina politics and hold a primary. This primary will be held on the day of the national election, at which time we will cast a popular vote to see who is the people's choice if or Senate. This has never been done before and I think it will work. If Simmons does not get the votes I will be mightily disap pointed, but. of course, as a Senator I will be obliged to vote for the people's choice. , "The Democrats in North Carolina expect a sweeping victory inthe na tional election. I predict that Bryan will get a majority of 80,000 in my State. We will also seat most of the Congressmen. "The negro no longer figures in pol itics in North Carolina.

MORE ABOUT KINSAULS. Testimony of Neighbors Tend to Corrob orate Theory That He Is Alive. The Fayetteville Observer of Mon day has additional testimony relative to the supposed mysterious escape of Archie Kinsauls from death upon the gallows at Clinton two weeks ago. After publishing what the Stab had to say of his possible escape Sunday morning it adds: "A man named Carter, who lives on the east side of the river and who knew nothing of the above report, re turned irom jnnton early last week, where he had been to attend the funeral of his mother, and stated to his neighbors that there was some mystery about the burial of Kinsauls. He states that, Kinsauls having been a warm friend of his, he went to hii home after the hanging and offered to sit up with the corpse. His offer was politely declined, and, when he asked to see the deadjriend, this was also re fused, though heP says he saw several physicians and others going and com ing from the room in which the body lay. He asked about the funeral but got no satisfactory answer. He came home fully convinced that there was a mystery somewhere in the case." Judge Augustus M. Moore. Judge. Augustus M. Moore, of the Eastern District Criminal Court, re turned Friday from Baltimore to his home at Greenville, N. C, and yester day morning, opened Craven County Criminal Court at Newborn.

SPLENDID CHARITY HOSPITAL. The Hooter McOnire Memorial Aoaex to Virginia Institute at Richmond. A correspondent of the Stab writing from the University College of Medi cine, Richmond, Va., has the follow ing interesting news to many North Caroliniang: ."The large addition we are now making to the Virginia Hospital is to be devoted exclusively to charity work. It is called The Hunter Mc Guire Memorial Annex, in honor of the distinguished Virginian, who so lately passed from among us, and who frequently said his best claim to be re membered by posterity, would be that he was the founder of the University College of Medicine and of the Vir ginia Hospital. As his fame and his charities were not limited to Richmond or to Virginia, it is intended that the benefits of this splendid charity hos pital shall not be confined to Rich mond. All the South shall share in it "And I do not hesitate to ask you to call the attention of your readers to it, for it . may be a blessing to some poor sufferer.within the sphere of your in fluence. "Ihe hospital, which is undergoing these alterations and additions, is now open for a limited number of patients; it will be ready for its usual number by October 15th. The Hunter Mc Guire Memorial Annex will be com pleted by January 1st next All com munications with respect to treatment at the hospital should be addressed to Mr. Edgar D. Taylor, President, Rich mond, Va. ; all requests for informa tion about the College to Dr. J. Alli son Hodges, Dean, Richmond, Va." USED PISTOL FREELY.

He and his little son were working in the field together, when they discov ered a tortoise. The boy, with a well developed juvenile curiosity, proceeded to investigate.

There, neatly carved on the under shell, he found the letters H. M. F.. his father's initial. Mr. Furr. remembers that twenty two years ago, when he himself was a boy, that he cut the letters in the shell of a tortoise. He never did it but one time and it was near this place and he be lieves that this Is the self same "tar pin." He looked as fresh and vounc as he did twenty-two years ago.
