In the senate the assault upon the freemen of Wilmington was consum mated so far as that mischievous and un republican body is concerned. There were 27 votes for depriving the free mon tif 'thlsi commercial city of the right of electing their own aldermen. It is a devilish strike at ; the very foundation principle of liberty a vi clous, partisan assault upon the tax payers and property owners of-Wil mington. Nothing more absolutely de structive and infernal has ever been attempted in this country since the pa triots of the first war of Independence triumphed over -the British oppressors J and secured their liberty. We can have no sort of respect for or confidence in anv man or men who would counte nance, connive at or aid in such a ras- f.oiiv attafir unon the white men of this city. The whole disgraceful move ment is purely partisan, to give the radicals control of the offices and pre- quisites of this city, and thereby to put it under - the practical control of Russell's loving and trustworthy "sav- ages." Just so far as he is responsible for; this disgraceful assault upon the rights and privileges .of the whites should he be 'held responsible. Living here as he does, and having made his money here, if he is trying, as we sup pose, he is, to fasten this outrage upon people his equal before the law and his superiors in many- important particu lars, he should be openly denounced in a. rmblic meetinsr of the citizens. No such mean, corrupt. Indefensible move- ment for low party ends has ever be fore been openly attempted in legisla tion; The men Who will dare to rob the free white men of this city of the right of local self-government are enemies to public order, the peace and safety of the people, and the fundamental principles of a free ahd enlightened srovernment. They should be held in contempt by all intelligent, liberty lov ing people. This, monstrous, this delib erate, this satanfc assault upon our people deserves "to ,be strangled in its birth." If ,it is started if home rule is the pQay ball of demagogues and 'teat-suckers, and the rights of free men are but soap-bubbles, the toy of reckless- partisans, then a brood of vipers will be brought forth in North " Carolina that wiU fasten their veno mous teeth upon the very tree of lib erty and blast it unto death.- There can be no possible cause among hon orable men of. any party for such wild, dangerous legislation ened at Raleigh. I as that threat- CUBA AND HER ADMINISTRATION It is difficult to catch on to the. exact facts as to Crete and Cuba. At last it is certain that General Lee did call upon "Secretary Olney for a warship at once to be sent to Havana, and that he declared that he will not stand an other Ruiz murder. ' That is perhaps doubtless a true account of what Lee said. Here is the message he sent to Olney, which the wily secretary tried to suppress: 'Olney, Washington: 'Have demanded release of Scott, American citizen, who has been kept in prison and incomunicado' without due process of law eleven days. "Trust you appreciate gravity situa tion and are prepared to sustain me. : Must have warship immediately. How many ships have you at Tampa, Key West and southern waters, and are you prepared to send them here, should it become necessary? - "I cannot and will not stand another Ruiz murder. . . LEE." The Spaniard, Major Fondsdevilla. who ordered Dr. Ruiz to be put to death is now in jail. General Lee has at last showed the grit that was ex pected, of him, but has been, long de layed., There-is a strong popular de mand now that McKinley. shall retain General Lee. The, special correspond ent of the Atlanta Evening Constitu tion writes: "Today General Lee is a solitary fig - ure in the dying Cleveland administra tion figure majestic enough to dwarf all about it. His bold repudiation of the Cleveland-Olney-DeeLomf com bination and his vigorous stand for American rights has won ' him a popu lar support that is taking a strange turn. The people want him retained in office by McKinley. Even the republi cans are urging this as a most popular step for McKinley to take." Even so'rabid, ultra a republican or gan as the New York Mail and Ex press is asks McKinley to-keep him at Havana. It is believed in all the sec tions of our country that Cleveland and Olney have been false to the Cubans and in sympathy with Spain. The Evening Constitution has been, inter viewing "some of Atlanta's prominent citizens," and they "speak out on the ' shameful conduct of the retiring pres ident and want our honor upheld. They say that the administration has let the American, flag trail in the dust and has ignored Amerieaij-ights." Mayor. Col lier, Judge Bloodworth, Colonel T. B. Felder, Colonel W. C. Glenn, Colonel W. T. Moyes "are very plain and direct in their views. ' It is to be sincerely hoped that the butcheries will be stopped. Major Mc Kinley may laclc backbone, and he may not have the right kind of a cabinet to Advise and sustain him. The "al mighty dollar" may be the dictating power, McKinley is reported as talk ing firmly, and says he will order every warship in the United States navy to Havana if necessary to protect the lives and property of American people. Even John Sherman, the sly o-ldvascillating time-server, is reported too as saying that he favored "upholding the rights of American citizens - wherever they may happen to be," and that he trust ed "the time will never come when an American citizen can be wronged or persecuted by any power, great or small." He says whenever tyranny "is exercised against an American I will stand up for him even if I ara alone." "Rah for -John. He may change the next day, however. It 4s thought that General Lee had before taken an open stand but Olney kept the dispatches to himself. This may account for Lee's strange silence. It 'is even suggested or stated as a fact that some dispatches . were kept from Cleveland. St so it will excuse him in part for his course." The Richmond Dispatch, discussing the Lee jind Olney matter.jaiid com menting0n the statement"bT The New York Herald' correspondent at Wash- .lngton, says this: , , . "But .this is ' not the only serious charge the Herald's Washington cor respondent makes against the secretary of state. He emphasizes wnat was in- ttmfLtp-rl In disnatches sent out from Washington Wednesday night, that Mr. Olney never approved or xne apyumi. ment of General Lee as consul general At Havana, and will endeavor to shield the state department by-. creating, u nosBihle. the impression that the pres ent crisis was brought about by nefelect of duty on the part of Lee. Referring to the correspondence that will be sent to congress in answer to Senator Hill's resolution, the correspondent says he i? told that Mr. Olney "has rormuiatea n in such a way as to show that It tnere was any dereliction of duty in regard the protection of Dr. Kulz, the respon sibility lies with General Lee rather than with the state department.' That may be true. ' Olney Is able and tricky possibly. If he -tries to shield himself by ' misrepresenting facts and making General Lee" a, scape-goat for hia own ina of omission we hope he will be trapped. HOME JFOLKS. The negroes are not dealt' with fairly, they assert, In the matter of the negro asvliim at Goldsboro. The result is another "rucus." Three of the legisla tive sable Solomons secede ana tney are Afraid of Russell , and say he will trick them. Is the present legislature really much better than the one of two years ago? That was a fine ruling of the speaker of the house. A vote on a motion was taken. The speaker did not announce the result. A member called for it. The speaner said there was doubt as to the count said the clerks. But they said It was all right. The speaker or dered another roll call and would not listen to Mr. Blackburn's demand for the first vote to be announced. This is the speaker's Idea of parliamentary law, courtesy and fairness. . Governor Russell shows he is no bet ter than his gang. He is simply a spoilsman. It Is of but little Import ance to North Carolina whether he re mains governor or the other fellow takes his seat. He has hardly done more than one or two commendable things in his nearly two months of of fice. It was feared by most men that he would hardly be able to lift him self above a narrow and prescriptive partisan. We gave him a chance and advised democrats not to strike before he was heard. He has shown 'his hand in many ways in his readiness to in vade the -elemosynary institutions, in his willingness to pardon criminals and thus set aside the regular finding of courts, in his assaults upon the- rights and even liberty of the democrats. He is Just as malignant, just as bitter, just as much of a partisan In a high office as he was when making fierce and ven omous speeches to his "savages" , and his ears were charmed by their sense less hurrahs. There is no good in "Rus sell we fear. We do no know what will be the final issue in the lease contest. The vote in the senate gives strong .hope for the final success of the Southern, a re liable, safe, well backed road that can pay its debts, which cannot be truth fully affirmed of some other roads. The triumpn or the southern if it comes will be in the nature of a compromise. The Messenger has never approved of a ninety-nine years' lease. It is a grave mistake to burden three generations with a contract. It is unwise and un just, we think. The substitute, for such it was, ,that passed the senate, is thus briefly described by the Raleigh Tribune: '"The only practical difference in this substitute bill from the original lease is in the terms of years. The time was changed from ninety-nine to thirty years, including the six years the pres ent lease has to run making it in all thirty-six years. -In an interview with Colonel An drews it would seem that his company wouia, in ail reasonable probability, accept this bill to dieu of the original contract. As we said yesterday morning, it is a compromise bill, and that we believ ed it would be the best under the cir cumstances.". " i ;. A BAD WORKING LAW. Two years ago The Messenger did what it could to prevent the adoption of a 6 per cent, interest" law. : We thought it unwise, unjust and unequal. We argued the--points several times. We thought It would drive capital put of North Carolina. -We could not see why a man should invest in goods or manufacturing or farming and; make 10, 20 or 50 per cent, but if he used the money thus invested by favoring neigh bors at 8 per cent., that tte should be estopped, and prosecuted, for it. Money is going begging in the great rich centres in the north. In the west men are glad to get it at 8 or 10 per cent. In the south money Is scarce and capital is hiding Itself.. The Asheville Gazette says,' and it is suggestive: "The 6 per cent, law has driven mil lions of dollars of money from this state that migrht' have' been used in develop ing its resources in affording farmers, merchants and manufacturers the needed help to carry on their, affairs with profit to themselves and benefit to the state. It has taken from Asheville $100,000 at least, that was in the posses sion of banks and in the hands of per sons' who loaned out money as agents. In one single Instance $20,000 was drawn from a bank in the city as a result of the enactment of this iniquitous law, and sent to Greenville, S. C. It is grat ifying to see the organ of the party that was in control of the legislature that made this- law now frankly stating its disastrous effects. The law should be repealed at the earliest possible mo ment. The action should be taken from pure motives of public benefit." That is "sensible, it is right.- Let the law be repealed. Money ought not to be persecuted. It is often very useful. Do not induce men with money to put it in railroads, manufacturing, farming, fishing, mining or something else, then to ask government for a tariff tax to help them to get rich faster and to op press everybody else. But let money have a, fair showing at least. We are gratified to see' the Raleigh Tribune urging the repeal of bad-working law. Let the legislature undo the unfortu nate legislation of two years ago. A 6 per cent, law has brought not a dollar into the state, and has driven out prob ablyt hundreds of thousands, or it may even.be millions of dollars. : SNAPS. Crete wants to be united to Greece.

" . i, . , General SanguUly met with enthusi astic reception at Key West, Florida. He praises highly and gratefully Gen eral Lee. "Had he been, there years ago,". General SanguUly exclainled, "there would have been less shedding ot American blood." He was very much agitated as he expressed his feeling to- I ward ConBul General Lee. . BUSINESS. . We wouid be delighted to see unmis takable Signs of business improvemt in our land, and particularly in tjhe south, "the land we love." We can see but little thus far to bring cheer or to Justify the rose-colored pictures of perity. The Chattanooga Tradesman Is an intense goldbug fend doubtless a very high tariff tax advocate. It is, therefore, not of the democracy. It sees or thinks it sees, at. least it says it sees, many signs of a healthful busl nes condition. It says in its issue of 1st March: "The southern business Condition is good for this season of the year. In dustries are fairly busy, in all lines. There are no accumulated stocks to em barrass manufacturers. The plants are solid, financially, as a rule. Southern manufacture was never in a better at titude to take advantage of a revival of demand than right now. "And, best off of all our people, are the great body, of sensible and indus trious farmers. They are out of debt, freer'of it than ever before. They real ized handsomely on their 1896 crops. and they have learned how to make ops at low cost, so as to meet low prices and still have a margin for them selves." Would that all that were true. Even the m'anufacturies are not flourishing, and if the farmers are as well on" as this organ of trade says then the mer chants are doing a lively business every where. Is it so? Did the farmers re ceive good prices for the crops Of 1896? What is the price of cotton, of wheat, of corn, of oats, of pork, of bacon, of all farm nroducts? We notice sides are selling here at 5 cents a pound retail If there is really good business now, good prospects for farmers as well as manufacturers, good times for mer chants and all other let us be happy and contented and hopeful. Turning to the north, we find Dun's Review for last Saturday reporting en couragement, improvement on all lines nearly "gradual and moderate." Very "moderate" we take it. But it reports four 'yard sheetings one-eighth lower; print cloths a sixteenth lower, and they are very low at that. No improvement In boots and shoes. Wheat 2 cents lower for the last week. Failures for three weeks have been $10,619,784 against $10,889,936 las year, $8,523,028 in 1895. and $11,420,418 in 1894. Failures for the week have been 296 in the United States againstt278 last year. The south had 90 last week over $5,000. The same week in 1896 there were but 72.

After reading Mr. Chandler's speech, in the light of present events, it is not difficult to believe that a mighty tri umph awaits the democratic party in the near future. The fact is but for false statements in a few close states where a change of 20,000 votes would have defeated McKinley, the whole Dolitical programme would be chanered. Men like President "Jim Hill, of the Great Northern railway system, are responsible for McKinley's victory. He declared, backed up Dy other prominent men, and notably one ecclesiastic, that, in October, prosperity was lust two weeks ahead. Now he says "times will not improve until peo ple begin to pay their debts." Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. The discussion in the Methodist min isters' meeting seems to have turned on the question whether the .English version -of the Bible is free from er rors. There are probably few intelli gent Christians who would maintain it is; yet when Dr. Buckley, the editor of The Christian Advocate, took the ground that only the original auto graphs were free from error, 'his re mark produced something like a theo logical storm. The incident serves to show into what an unreasoning panic good men may fall. The original auto graphs of the Bible perished manj) centuries ago; probably a few years af ter they were written. The only texts of the sacred books now in existence are a number of manuscripts written hundreds of years after the- time of Christ. These manuscripts cannot be absolutely true copies of the original autographs, for they differ from each other in many particulars. Obviously, therefore, the copyists who transcribed them were not inspired, and as the English translators simply followed their critical judgment in deciding which of these readings to adopt, it is not easy to see how the theory of their inspiration can toe maintained. In other words, the English translation of .the Bible is not free from error. In point of. fact, it is erroneous in many places, and it was because this fact was rec ognized that the revised version of 1881 was made. Why, then, should a meeting of clergymen get excited when some one says these things in plain English? The reason probably is that there are many people in the churches today who think it unwise and even harmful to admit in public that any of the old views concerning the Bible have become untenable. They would say that such a question asiDr. Buck ley raised would better be ignored in the present state of religious thought. The lecture of Colonel Bob Ingersoll was simply a succession of startling inconsistencies, contradictions and ab surdities. Its logic limped at every step. The fact is that Colonel Ingersoll is a rhetorician, and not a logician. He even fails to perceive that the many really beautiful and wholesome senti ments which he often expresses with such charming eloquence are the di rect emanations of the very system that he discards and derides. His mind is as full of colors as is a painter's shop, but he wields an undiscriminating brush, and lacks the truer lines and gentler tints of the genuine artist. He has wit and pathos in marvelous combination, but seems entirely destitute of an in tuitive grasp of truth. Colonel Ingersoll objects to the apparent incongruities in the Bible's representations of the charac ter of God. Yet, in the lecture re ferred to he not only practically declares his worship of Nature, instead of God, but also describes the object of his reverence, as follows! "Nature, gener ous land heartless, extravagant and miserly as she is, is our mother and our only teacher. She is also the de ceiver of men. Above her we cannot rise; below her we cannot fall. Nature originates, nourishes, preserves -and de stroys. For many ages man has relied upon and sincerely believed in the ex istence of the supernatural. He did not believe in the uniformity of nature; he had no conception of cause and effect, of the indestructibility of force." How thoroughly inconsistent and absurd is such a process of reasoning! The exist ence of an intelligent and eternal Be ing,' the creator of all things, is quite beyond the power of Colonel Ingersoll's mind, but the existence of eternal mat) ter ,to which he has transferred all the attributes -of God is entirely Within thl compass of" his comprehension. He re sents the so-called contradictions in the character of God, but apparently glories in the violent contradiction of Nature. New York Mail and Express.

A Public Test Agreed Upon and the Result to be Pub lished in This Paper. CAN HOBBS SUBSTAN TIATE HIS CLAIMS? JULIUS li'iBS. M. D. In view of the great importance of this challenge, not only to the citizens of Wilmington, but to the entire civil ized world, the public will be interested in the outcome of what may be prop erly termed a public investigation of a discovery that will become famous and prove of incalculable Importance to the great mass of people who are suffering in one way and another from kidney ailments and other attending ills. The offer made by Dr. Hobbs in his challenge above alluded to, is a simple and plainly worded one. In a nutshell he asserts that he has discovered a remedy that will positively cure that most insidious and common-of all com plaints, disease of the kidneys; which is wrecking men and women by the score daily. - The good that can be accomplished by a positive specific, one that can be- ad ministered in a simple and plain way in other word, a grand, universal medi cine for all kidney troubles will be hailed as a Godsend everywhere. , The claims made for the remedy in question are, speaking in a general sense, that the Hobbs Remedy Com pany of Chicago and San Francisco, are the owners of an' ASPARAGUS KID NEY REMEDY which they positively assert will cure all kidney diseases with the exception of those where tu mors and ulcers have formed and i surgical operation is necessary. It is not our purpose in this article to enter into a general discussion of the vast number of different forms of kid ney troubles, ' but to treat them as whole, as space in this paper does not permit ns to do otherwise. It is thought that the only possible wav to publicly determine the value of. Dr. Hobbs discovery is to GIVE FREE TO ALL those who are interested in this matter a sample box of this medicine, and to have it done in such an open manner that none can question the honesty of the test. ' For the purpose of making this test a large number of samples have been sent to ' ... ROBERT R. BELLAMY, which will be given to any and all per sons 'who will call at our store on Fri day, March 5th, from 9 a, m. to 7 p m. To each applicant for a free sample of these pills we will also give a little book-on kidney diseases, which sets out in a clear plain manner just such infor mation as would be wanted by anyone with weak kidneys.
