1THE
FILIPINO AT
RANGE.
CLOSE
A Race With a Streak of Yellow
in Its Composition.
The Filipino, somewhere
away back in his ancestry, has
the drop of black blood which
makes him cower and shrink
when a bullet hits him, writes
a correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune from Cavite
It is the display of what sport
inir men call the "streak of
yellow."
But so long as he is a winner,
and even for a longer time than
is the case with most dark races.
after he has begun to lose, the
Filipino will figlit like a demon,
and he is so immeasurably the
superior of the Spaniard in fight
ing ability.his "streak of yellow"
lies so mnch lurther below the
surface than th- don's, that the
odds are in his favor, any way.
That he has made a gocd fight
goes without saying. The result
is his justification, and although
I do not believe he would ever
have achieved anything without
the aid of Dewey's guns and the
more powerful American dollar,
he has iu the past, and would
have in the future had Spain's
claim been put off, have given
the Castilians not a little trouble
in the matter of the collection
levenues.
Ths Filipino he is just now
most enthusiastically in love
with the Americans. Out in the
country there is nothing too
good for the American. I have
lived with the native in his hut,
and I have had the best the hut
contained put freely at my dis
position, the best to eat, the best
split bamboo floor, soft and
springy, to sleep upon, even the
best of his weapons, the pride of
his heart, his loved machete,
keen enough to shave with and
heavy enough to cleave a man's
skull at a blow, offered to me as
free gift.
And yet there has always been,
in my mind, a lurking distrust
of my host. There is something
of a glint a suggestion of the
Malay drop in his mixed ances
try in the soft brown eye, re
calling to mind tehose old stories
of dark men running amuck to
kill and kill and kill, until they
have themse'ves been shot in
their tracks like dogs, as they
deserved.
1 have recalled the fact that
no wise sea captain will ship a
Manila man es one of his crew,
and that native Filipinos have
been taken, as children, into
Spanish families and tenderly
reared, only at the last, to put
poison in the food of the entire
family, and to make no excuse
tor the atrocious act other than
to say they had grown "hot in
the head.''
Whether such a people can
ever be trusted to govern them
selves, as the Filipinos clearly
expect the Americans to trust
them, is a question for states
menbut I would most respect
fulfy suggest to the statesmen.
before attempting its solu ion,
that they come out here aud take
few practical le-sons in
ethnology.

A POORRUME.
KIS WIFE WAS PECULIAR-
He Owned The Place But The
Old Woman Did The

tain Dayi.
Just at nightfall the colonel
came along to a pioneer s dug
out orv the wide prairie, with the
pioneer himself setting by the
roadside with a pipe in his
mouth, and after the usual salu
tations the celonel asked if he
could be lodged for the night.
"Wall, that depends on my
wife," was the reply. ' I'm fur
takin' everybody who comes
along, but she's rayther pertick-
ler. Ar' you a married man? '
"I am," replied the traveler.
"That's bad, to begin with.
We've got a gal twenty y'ars,
old, and my. wife is lookin' fur
somebody to come along and
marry her. Ar' you the guv'ner
of the state or some other big
man?"
'No sir; I am only a humble
citizen."
"Then your humbleness will
be bad fur you. The old woman
would be proud to hev a big
man stop with us, so she could
crow about it, but she wouldn't
care to make a fuss over a
humble man.
"Got some sort o' religion, 1
'spose?'
"No, I haven't,'' replied the
colonel.
"Then
The old

woman's got three
different kinds, and if you don't
belong to one of 'em she'll tell
you to walk on. Kin you play on
a mouth organ or sing?-'
"I'm afraid not."
4 That's too bad. The old
woman does play on a mouth
organ, and she goes around
singin from morning, till night.
I'd like to oblege you, stranger
but I know how peculiar the old
woman is. Hev you ever bin in
Yurup?"
"I never have," sighed the
colonel, as he remembered that
it was four miles to the next
shanty.
"That's wuss and wuss,'' said
the man as his face- expressed
real anxiety. "The old woman
is dead crazy about Yurup, and
she'd be sure to ask you a lot of
questions. If you was a purty
good liar, now, you might make
her think you had bin in Yurup."
"I I don't think I'd like to
lie about it."
'Wall, jest as you please, but
I want you to see that I'm will
in' to obleege you. What's yer
politics?"
"I'm a Republican."
"Woosh!" exclaimed the set
tler "that settles you fur good
and all ! The old woman is a
Democrat from head to heel and
sorter runs this hull country. If
she knowed you was out here
she'd be loadin the shotgun.
Everything seems agin' you,
but thar's jest one lettle chance
that you might squeeze in. Kin
you make up poetry?''
"Alas! no!" groaned the ways
farer.
"Can't you make up a single
verse?"
"Not even twq lines,"
, Then your goose is cooked
and you had better bi gittin'
along, The old woman is a poet
and even before you got
down to the supper table she'd
be askiu' you to make up a verse
on Venus or Mars, and if you
couldn't do it she'd give you the
skip, Stronger I'm a kind
hearted man and feel sorry fur
you, but you see how it is. I own
this ranch and do most of the
bossin' but there ar' days when
I hev to lay hid in the grass be

ANOTHER NEGRO
OUTRAGE.
The vile teachings of the Re
cord, the negro newspaper pub
lished in Wilmington, are bear
ine thir legitimate and natura
fruit. Listen to the story 01
burglary and attempted rape
perpetrated last week in Greene
by a negro, his victim being
a respectable white lady. The
Snow Hill Standard sav:
"Last Tuesdav nieht about
11 o'clock John Best a negro
who lives on the place oi Mr.
J. R. Ham, about seven miles
from Snow Hill, entered the
home oi Mr Jesse Ham and at'
tempted that awful crime which
he'll pay for with his life. Mrs.
Ham was the victim. She was
aroused by by this devjl in hu
man form before he accomplish
ed his purpose, and screamed
for her husband, who was in
an adjoining room. The negro
then attempted to escape, but
was recognized, a warrant issued
and he is now in jail. We have
heard some indignant theats,
and the hellish fieud may meet
justice at the hands of an out
raged people."
Remember that this is in a
county in which a bladk fiend
was convicted and hanged last
fall ior a like offence, and then
ask yourselves what is the val
ue of such punishment as an ex
ample and a warning to the ne
gro when it is Heutralized by
the lesssons taught in the every
day practices of Republican
politicians? There is but one
party in. North Carolina for the
white man who has any self re
spect or any regard for the vir
tue and hopor ' of the women
who should be dear to him.
That party is the White Man's
party the Democrtic party.

A TOMBSTONE PROBLEM.
A man who went away from
home some time ago to attend a
convention of church people
was struck with the beauty of
little town in which the gather
ing was held. He had plenty
of time, and while wandering
about walked into the village
cemetery. It was a beautiful
place, and the delegate walked
around among the graves. He
saw a monument, one of the
largest in the cemetery, and
read with surprise the inscrip
tion on it:
"A lawyer and an honest
man"
The delegate scratched . his
head aud looked at the monu
ment again. He read the
inscription over and over
Then he walked all around the
monument and examined the
grave closely. Another inan iu

BOSTIAN BRIDGE WRECK
RECALLED.
$700 Found of the Money the
Infernal Wieckers Stole
From the Dead and
Dying Passengers.
The following interesting item
is taken from the Kinston 'Free
Press of the "3rd inst:
A -out six years ago there
was a big railroad wreck on the
Western North Carolina Rail
road near Statesville, at Bostian
br.dge. It was thought that it
was wrecked by men.
About two years ago a man
named Howard' of Lenoir couns
ty, served his time in the Peni
tentiary and returned to this
county. While serving his sen
tence in the penitentiary a man
in there gave him a map show
ing where were stolen things
fjom this wreck. The case
was given to Messrs. Wooten
and Shaw, of Kinston, who
have been working on it ever
since then.
Mr. Wooten received a letter
yesterday from one of his agents
who was searching as the
map directed near the wrek, in
forming him that $700 has been
found, of the money the infernal
scouudrels stole from the dead
and dying passengers.

CONGRESSMAN WHITE
SPOKE.
Congressman Geo. H. White
spoke to the colored people of
Scotland neck Saturday. His
speech was mostly directed to
the necessity of all going to the
polls voting the straight repub
lican ticket and seeing that the
votes were counted as cast.
He argued to the colored peo
ple that their homes are sacred
to them and that they onght to
defeud their ballots as well as
their tomes.
White spoke hopefully about
going back to Congress in fact
as if he is sure he will be re
turned. He said he favored in
sion with the Populists.
After White spoke Lee Per

said that Person's syeech was
rather bitter and that he coun
seled the colored people to be
prepared for any emergency that
might arise ; and to be ready to
say, it necessary, that they have
but one time to die. His speech
was regaded as quite bitter and

AN UNLUCKY RTNG.
It Brought Afflicton to the Roy
al House of Spain.
A Curious story comes all the
way trom Madrid in explana
tion of the misfortunes which
have afflictedthe royal house of 1
Spain. It apears that at the j
root of the mischief is a fatal
ring of quite medieval deadli
uess. The late King Alphonso
XII gave it to his cousin Merce
des when he was betrothed to
tier, and she wore it during the
whole of her short married life.
On her death the King present
ed it to his grandmother, the
Queen Christina. She died very
soon after, when it was passed
along to the King's sister, the
ufanta del Pilar, who at once
began to sicken and in a few
days breathed her last. Al-
phonzo then handed it to his
sister-in-law, Christina, the
youngest daughter of the Duke
of Montpensier, but in three
months she also died. His Mas
jesty now resolved to retain the
fateful jewel in, his own keeping,
but he, too, soon fell a victim to
its mysterious malignacy. By
order of the widow it was sus
pended by a chain around the
neek of the statue of the Maid
of Almudena, the patron saint
of Madiid.

Commander of the Transport
Alleghany Says Those Who
Came in Her Were
Careless.
Captain Nickerson, of the
transport Alleghany, which ar
rived yesterday from Moutauk,
where she discharged ill and
convalescent troops, resented
vigorously the criticisms that
had been made upon the con
dition cf the vessel, He declared
that when the men were taken
auoara at Santiago many were
i : . i
suffering from malaria and gen
- ... ...
crai ueoimy, and mat the sur
geon in charge feared many
would not survive the trip. Thir
teen died and were buried at sea,
while another jumped overboard
and was lost.
"The transport was washed.
swept and cleansed daily by the
ship's crew," Captain Nickersou
said. "The troops did not make
the least effort to help them
selves, nor did they try to keep
clean. I arranged to give the men
acilities for salt water baths.but
for three days no advantage
was taked of the water that was
pumped aboard for their special
benefit, Many of the men opens
ed canded goods and threw the
tins under the hammocts, al
though all the refuse could have
been easily pitched overboard
through the port holes. They
seemed wholly indifferent to
their comfort aud cleanliness.
"I have heard the ill ones on
the transport call for water, but
they got no one to bring it to
them until my chief engineer,
disgusted at the laziness of their
able comrades, helped them with
all the water they needed. I
want to deny the statement that
the ship was without ice. We
had ice and used it freeiy and
now have six tons left within
the very compartment where the
men were quaitered.
"I offered the ship's stores for
the use of the sick and served
oatmeal in abundance and whiss
key when it was needed. The
men were so wasteful of bread
and other foods that I had to
make vigoroug protests. The
Alleghauy is open to inspection,
and no one can say that there is
or has been anything unwhole
some about her. Both the crew
aud myself did everything poss-
ble to make the troops com fort-
able during the trip. Fine weath
er was experienced throughout."

OUR
FLAG THE OLDEST.
It
is not generally known
that the Star Spangled Banner
of the United States is older thau
any one of the present flags of
the great European powers. It
was adopted in 17 77 by the Con-
gresj of the Thirteen Colonies
of North America, then at war
with the mother country. The
yellow and red Spanish flag
came out in 178?. the French
ricolor was adopted in .1794 .
the red English emblem with
he Union Jack in the upper
corner, dates irom 180J : the
Sardinian now the Italian flaer
first fluttered in 1848, the Austro
0
Hungarian flag was once of the
consequences of the compromise
of 1867 : the present German
flag first appeared in 1871, and
ine K.ussian tricolor is quite a
recent affair.
The only modification that the
American has undergone since
its origin consists in the addi
tion of a new star every time
new state is taken into the Union.
The stars now number forty-five
and, unfortunately for Spain, it
is more thttn likely that they
have not yet come to the end of
their multiplication. From the
Paris Figaro.
