MOKE GRUFF THAN GAIIa'N Ad miral Sam peon's report of the naval operations about Santiago go tar to further compromise the ' character of General Shaf ter. It seems that the Admiral was more than anxious to co-operate with the land forces but wished to, be judicious in view of the almost certain destruction of the ships that would attempted to pass through the mine fields while tlie Spaniards held the controlling connection. He was greatly chag rined -to see reflections on the navy coming from Gn. Shatter. It does seem that Gen. Shatter was not very congenial in his manner with Gen. Milts nor Ad miral Sampson and was practically defeated in battle. Had not Gens. Wheeler and Jjawton redeemed the day he would doubtless have been humiliated instead of having room for naughtiness. The war seems to have distinguished him more for granffness than for gen eralship. . A. Good Headlnsr. We will venture to make a sug-j gestion to Governor Russell. We ; do so with the greater assurance, ! knowing that his excellency gives i great and serious thought to any suggestion made by the Post. We have been informed that he is preparing his message to be pre sented to the Legislature. He can do no better than borrow the opening sentence of his inaugural and begin his next epistle to the Conscript Fathers with -"There is Retribution in History" with a great big "R." Morning Post. Mr. Frederick Stearnes, a De troit millionaire, has presented to the University of Michigan his unique collection of musical in struments, numbering nearly 1,000. Mr. Stearnes has been col lecting for 15 years and has spent upon his treaiures something over $25,000. The present value of the collection, however, Is many times that sum. Daily Record. The term "Old Glory" is a puz zle to many persons, who cannot understand how the flag of the youngest member of the family of the greatast nations can claim sucji respectable antiquity. Col. Samuel Hardin Church, an au thority on all subjects bearing on historical research, in a recent address said : Our standard is 23 years older than the present flag of Great Britian, 17 years older than the French tri-color, nearly a hnilred years older than the present fta? of Germany or Italy, and eight years older than the flag of Spain," Durham Sun. L ( Train 9tn Will Open a ( ampaicn for While Suuremacy ou Koads. A Norfolk, Va., dispatch the 29th ult., says: The. first" union public meeting of the Railroad Brotherhood here tonight proved of great importance when Grand Master Sargent, ol the Locomo tive Firemen, announced that ope of the chief purposes of the meet ing was to begin a campaign for white supremacy in the railroad service. Mr. Sargent said no vio lation of the law was intended and no threats meant, but the white men ot the South believed that the whites alone should man the engines upon the highways of J Southern commerce, that negroes were working for less pay, and that i f ilia oto'tA of fhinfTs continued' x kjvuvw " - rv more mutterings would be heard in the Carolinas. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy ami sutler iog. Tha proprietors of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine; aod have the eatis faction of knowing it baa absolutely J cure 1 thofi8arul-s of rKp!e8 cases.

Admiral Cevera's correspond ence with the Queen Regent and ministers of Spain have turned up and they show that the Admiral protested against the course ot entering into a war with the Uni ted States, which he foresaw would be the ruin of Spain. The Admiral also claimed that Cuba was lost to Spain practically with or without a war with the United States. After giving hia views by way of warning he invited orders which he stood ready to sacrifice himself in the effort to execute. Ilobson's Keuslble Views, Lieutenant Richmond learson Hobson has refused an offer of $50,000 from a New York lecture bureau for a stated number of lec tures during this season. Ex plaining the reason for this re fusal to a friend today, while on his way from Annapolis to Wash ington Lieutenant Hobson said : "It would be idle for me to say that I did not consider the proposi tion carefully. I did. My people are all in moderate circumstances, but my reflections led me to this conclusion : Before the sinking of the Merrimac my lectures would have been worth, probably, not more than 50 cents; the sinking of the Merrimac seems to have made them worth $50,000, The work which so suddenly raised my stock in literary trade was done in sim ple execution of my duty as an officer in the American navy. I did not feel that I had a right to use the performance of that duty for my financial betterment. I therefore declined the cifer of the $50,000. v mm . m mmm . Ex-Minister to Spip, Hannis Taylor, thinks Spain is treated very badly by our Peace Commis sion in taking the Philippine group for $20,000,000, while Sen ator Hoar thinks the Senate will not confirm the treaty on account of the poor bargain. Doctors dif- ier sometimes. i i WHAT KIWI OF OEVIIi? . Tha Charlotta Observer, thinks the devil, will get the linotype and its operator for making it eay "squirt," when Squint" was il tended. It doea not occur to us that the error wa grave enough to merit such retribution, unless the Observer's devil is not the same as that pictured to our youthful eyes, where a clovenfooted, bat-eared monstrosity stood with pitch-fork in band, ready to toes biB victims over into the sulphurous lake. We suspect the devil referred to may sometimes be seen cheerily enter tained in the editor's sanctum. More storm News. The loss of life on the steamer Portland is now being estimated at 150 persons, though it may never be known what the real number was. The Gate City, which it was feared was lost has arrived at Sa vannah a little worsted only, but the King Philip, a fine Baltimore schooner, was amoDg the victims of the fearful storm. She was carrying a load of coal. The en tire crew perished.

A gentleman by the name of Pearce, from the neighborhood of the Chatham and Orange county lines, was in town today with a wagon load of about 80. He says they are so numerous in his neighborhood that they run against each other and cripple themselves, and you have nothing to do but walk around and pick them up." We had been disposed to credit all stories that have no snakes nor fish in them. Shall the inno cent and timid Mollie Cottontail be dumped into the same cate gory with these victims of mon strous yarns ? Dr. Timothy Dwight, for so many years president- of Yale University, has resigned, to take effect next June. 'He gives as his sole reason that he has attained his 70th year, and that he has for many years decided to spend his remaining years in quiet. The Board of Vistors has requested him to continue m his office until alter the celebration: of the 200th anniversary in 1901. Church Pa per. Mr. George Carnegie, son of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the Pennsylvania iron king, passed through Charlotte Wednesday night en route to Per nandina, JTla.,where he will spend the winter. Mr. Carnegie had with him hie dog and a large supply of fishing tackle. Two of his friends accompanied him.
