HAWAII TO BE ANNEXED. It is said that tlje administra tion of president McKinley favors the admission of Hawaii to our Union and that ' the ' President lias prepared a mes sage recommending the con firmation of a treaty of annex ation between Hawaii and' the United States. ; The population of Hawaii .does-not much exceed one hun dred thousand, and about one- half . oflhem are American citizens, about 40,00o are na tives of Hawaii, and the balance are chiefly from the European - nations, with a few Japs and Chinese Public sentiment of " the. American people seems to favor:the admission of Hawaii into our union of State.. It regarded as the legitimate property of the United States, and, for commercial reasons, a necessity to its trade in peace, and in the event of war a necessity to its security. There is an apparent disposi tion in the Senate to pusn uie . . . . i . i treaty to its consummation. The birth-place of Henry The treaty is very similar to J Wyatt, the proto-martyr of the that of the Harrison adminis-'Confederacy, is involved in tration which was rejected. dubt. He was in an Edge The treaty sent to the Seijate cmbe county (X. C.) company ! by President McKinley provides that the United States shall assume the debt of Hawaii, not to exceed Uoo,0oo. . The most serious obstacle to the, ratification of the treaty Will be Japan, who is supposed to claim the right of property in the Pacific Islands, and Japan has! already sent a com munication to the &tatc Depart ment .asking for information about the rumored changes in the relations of the Islands with the United States. The iinpres- sion seems to he that .Japan insists upon the ratification, in the event of the annexation of Hawaii "to the United States, of all the treaty relations lctween Japan and Hawaii. Queen Lib is fiery mad at the treaty, opposed to it in toto, be cause it is an outrage upon the native imputation. . of Hawaii, and also because it provides for no compensation or pension for her, as was provided by the Harrison treat v. CUBA. -. i The fight in Cuba is reaching the climax of. fxhaustion. Spain is getting tired, ami the innate pride of that peacock of he iast alone prevents its abrupt collapse. Weyler has grown into disrepute even at home, and the barbaric splen dors of his command have dis gusted his employers. Spain now hopes that the United States will intervene for the independence- of Cuba, so that Spain may retire from the contest with its vainglori ous pride intact. So be it. Rut let not Cuba be annexed to the Union. Its population is not of the kind to. .make American citizens of. The history of the United States for the last thirty years shows conclusively that a Republican government, with manhood suffrage the vital principle of its constitution, is not adapted to mixed races in which ignorance and bestiality arc the predominant character istics. With all the prudence of the white race of the South, the African race of the South has always been the disturbing element in Southern politics and in Southern social constitu tions and, will always remain so while their discontent is nur tured by Northern sentiment and Southern carpetbaggerism. As a general rule education seems not to develop the. moral virtues, or to stimulate ; an other ambition but the ambition of hate. i NAG'S HEAD COTTAGE For rent daring the summer Admirably located on the beach side, i " Apply to II.

There has been recently dis covered in Arizona the remains nf nn nneii'tit fort of the ClifT Dwellers,; which is said to be the best preserved relic of that prinierval race of the .North American continent. The for tress that" has been discovered within ajfew years is on the side of a high and abrupt mountain' clifT, and is inacces sible except by the use of lad- Wers, and was evidently origin ally built as a fortress of de fen c in time of war. It is a valuable relic of a prehistoric period, and not until recently have steps been taken for its preservation from decay, and even yet the efforts made have beev inadequate). . An appeal was made to Congress some years ago; to make an appropri ation fori that purpose, but it failed of recognition. Then the territorial Legislature was invoked, .which turned a deaf ear, and jhe sentiment that it would be -better 'to let it remain e " ... . - I . . . as a source 01 income iu mu people from the money left by relic hunters and antiquarian explorers vas adopted. HENRY WYATT. Was He a Native Tar Heel. in the outbreak of the war and was killed at the battle of lSethel in Virginia.. He had relatives in Kichmond, v a., ami res n leu tiiere Del ore tlie Southern call to anus, when he was a citizen of Tarboro, X. C. We had supposed he was a citizen of Edgecombe county anil was a temporary resident of Richmond, in larly life. The name of Wyatt is a fami liar one tioth in North Carolina and Virginia, so, however the question of nativitv may be solved let his memory be cher ished bv both Stales as the protoniartyr of a lost cause in- which twins. defeat and glory are GREECE AND TURKEY. These nationalities that filled the trump of fame a '..month ago seem to have been absorbed by the Victoria jubilee, the Cuban light and the annexation of Hawaii. The probability is that by "this time Greece has lost prestige in the late conflict with Turkev and has fallen back upon its classic honors of Marathon and Therinopyhe, and the Sultan is in amorous dalli ance with his houris. The two empires liave probably adjusted their differences and hung up their ''bruised arms for monu ments. " The Powers who promised to dictate terms of adjustment between i Greece and Turkey have won no new laurels in their proposed intervention and have established a reputation for cowardice at the apparition of the shadows of their "com rades in the matter of settling j international complications. Well, let them all go to the vallev of oblivion The United States have kept out of the trouble and her skirts are un harmed. I Kveryihing is now complaisant Here, except an occasional strike at the North and a negro lynching at the North and West and South. Our 1897 wheels are stronger ' handsomer easier running than ever before the prices are right "i . WESTERN WHEEL WORKS ClV.CACO-hElV YORK ' Cita!ogi Crop AgefiU ceywhe The A.' C. I. Commencement, COMMCSICATED. The Atlantic Collegiate Institute has just closed one of its most sue cessful years' with Commencement Exercises- which showed the high urade of work that is now heing done in this excellent schooL Tne exercises began on Sunday the 13th inst. with the baccalaureate sermon at the Methodist church by Rev. Dr. F. H. Johnston, of the Presbyterian church! - The Dr. was inspired by the bright and happy faces of nearly two Hundred Doys and girls, and delivered a most fx ctrllent sermon. On Monday night, the classes in physical culture was the attraction. The first class was of the younger girls of the school, whoso precision of drill and march, ! combined with their beauty, called forth the enthu siastic praises of the audience. The next was a! class of young ladies arrayed in Grecian costumes, representing groups' of classic statu ary. Under the gleams of rose-colored light, the represented scenes of imposing beau tv and grace were not excelled by sculptcri chisel or paint er's brufch. The contests in Jdeclamaliou an,d rt-eitril ion formed the program for Tut nday night. The students who participated showed a high degree of culture in their work, and it can be truly said that the judges had to exercise their closest powers of ob servation in' order to decide ; but their verdict seems -to have been a popular one, and they gave the de claimer's medal to M. E. Walker, of Currituck county, and the recitation i.sts medal to 31iss Itetta Gray, of Avon, Dare county. Did space per mit, we would like to pay the de served compliment to each contest ant, tut can only say that the work of each was of a high order, and shows that the A. y. 1. is paying the proper attention to the art of expression. j ednesdav night was the occasion of the annual address bv E. E. Milliard, Esq., of j Scotland Neck, X. C. This was a jsplendid cflort, and worthy of all that was said of it in your last issue, .j:- The graduating j exercises were held on Thursday night. Miss Ethel Blythe, graduate in the English course, read an excellent essav on 44 The Advance of "Woman." James Clifton Wood delivered, in good style, a well written production on the Importance of the Period of Youth.' Mr. Wood graduated in the English course. Charles Everett Thompson, a full graduate in the classical course, had as the subject of his "oration, t4The Defense of Anarchy.' Mr. Thomp son presented this subject in a clear and well defined style, and proved conclusively that anarchy is not always the evil thing we are apt to think it to be.j Our Revolutionary ancestors wereianarchists, yet great good has come! from this anarchy. Mr. Harry Torry Greenleaf, grad- cuuise, icuu uli nuiiiutiuii ui suurage, and maae a strong piea ior an educational qualification as a prerequisite for suffrage. Mr. Irancis niteley Hollowell was a full graduate in the classical course, lue subject oi nis oration mi 4 m i was Joan of Arc Misses Elizabeth Twiddy, Rose Lathrop and Ella'M. Pritchard were graduates in the school of vocal ex pression and elocution. Miss Twiddy recited Lasca " with-happy eflect, displaying grace, ease and clear de livery m her effort. . Miss Lathrop delighted the audi ence with an- account of Bobby Shaftoe in her usual happy and pleasing style. The diplomas were presented bv President Sheeu in a few well chosen remarKS. ti Ul the exercises were interspersed with well rendered selections of vocal and instrumental music, show- in' the same excellency of the work in this department as in former vcars. , .
