"aroiiisxuiio xiik inaugural
However inclined one may be to deal
with the president in admiration and
mercy! it is really extremely difficult
to do so if one has a memory and some
knowledge of ; facts and occurrences
during the last four or e.ght years.
The address is quite American, even
something eloquent, in what he says.
Blot all records and events and the
address is a model of rejoicing as Well
as a Very agreeable resume of oecur-
rences from tne imperials liu avvu
. towerj While ' Americans who are
Amer.cans may well rejoice in what
ever of grandeur, glory and prosperity
attend the history of these United
States, there are unpleasant remem
brances, and the song of rejoicing is
forced ; to take on a strain of lamenta
tion at more than one turn in the mus
ical Jubilee. Anelaborte, critical ex
amination of the audress would reveal
many 1 th.ngs to be sorrowful for as
well as occasions for fear and appre
hension as to the future of our country.
The address abounds in salient ut
terances that will attract and cause
the crowd of hero-worshippers to hur
rah with many bowings and genufiec
. tions. I How well he speaks wljen
he declares that "we should not per
mit our great prosperity to lead us to
reckless ventures in business or pro
fligacy In ! expenditures." How that
must have fallen on leaden-ears of the
expiring congress, with its nearly, bil
lion and a half of expenditures, the
most senseless, the most reckless, the
most indefensible, the most profligate
In all American history. And yet the
president spoke of a "reduct.on" , of
$40,000,000 of taxes, in the face of an
actual increase of nearly a half bil
. lion in expenditures. Read the follow-
lng and while you may admire you
may have cause to wonder if not
groan:
"We are now at peace with the
world,! and it is my fervent prayer f
differences arise they may be
settled by peaceful arbitration. -
There are some national questions
In the solution of which patriotism
should exclude partisanship.
'Hope maketh not ashamed.' The
prophets of ev.l were not the builders
' of the republic, nor in its crises since
i have they saved or served it.
Our institutions will not deteriorate
by extension and our sense of justice
will not abate under tropic suns in dis
tant seas. The . path of pro
gress is seldom smooth. New things
are often found hard to do.
We face at this moment a most im
portant question that of the future
relations of the United States and
Cuba, i ' , . -
Our countrymen should not be de
ceived. ' We are not waging war
against the inhabitants of the Phil p
pine islands. A portion of them are
making war against the United
States."
In answer look at the two years' war
In the Philippines. The masters and
usurpers and despoilers and oppressors-
never yet builded wisely and never
"saved or served"a country or republic.
If it is" true progress to become imperi
alistic i the wisest of our statesmen
utterly fall to see it or comprehend it.
It will be found exceeding rugged and
costly j and blood-letting to make ex
pansion mean conquest by guns and
powder. It is a truth made plain by
history that adventurers have, often
come to grief, and so-called progress
has terminated in disappointment and
defeat; Go slow is better than rough
riding,; and it is better not to create a
crisis if ; thereby you practice cruelty
and vis t great wrongs upon the unof
fending. The cry of McKinley as to
the Philippines is the cry of deception
and untruth. It is not history. He
brought it on by his own wicked course
during the Paris arbitration. That is
now well known and made easy of
proof by McKinley's own words writ
ten to; the arbitrators. The . Philip
pines In their course have ten times
the cause the American colonies had
for their resistance of Great Br. tain.
The ablest of living Americans know
what McKinley says is not true as to
the Philippines. The Baltimore Sun
lets him off with exceeding forbearance
In sayingethat "judging from the tone
of the president's inaugural he intends
that the war in the Philippines shall
be a fight to the finish, now that we
have engaged in it. In regard to the
president's statement that we are not
mak.ng war upon the Filip nos, but
that a portion of them are .waging war
against us, there may possibly be
some difference of opinion. If the
president is right the Filipinos, with
out exception, are the victims of a
most extraordinary delusion."
He makes .war - and yet he glibly
talks of there being "no more blood
shed."! It lies with him in his imperial
powers. He is the state now. His
talk as to Cuba is deceptive and un-
satisfactory. He has no idea of let-,
ting Cuba be free in fact. Before it
w.ll be allowed to go free he declares
: that it '"must be capable of performing
-the duties and discharging the func
tions of a separate nation, of observ
ing its international obligations, of
protecting life and property, insuring
safety, order and liberty and conform
ing to ; the established and "' historical
policy of the United States." If the.
Cubans had only known the real pur-.
poses of the sly, : Inconsistent prest-
dent, and if the south could have fore
seen what war in Cuba would end in
it is very doubtful if there would have
been any war to liberate Cuba, or a
single j soldier from the south to par
ticipate In so false and hollow a war
of liberation of an oppressed people.
What the Cubans--will do is not yet
apparent. That they are sadly disap
pointed is certain. That they will love
this treacherous country better after
the action of the congress remains to
appear. '
We Verily believe that McKinley is
an artful Intriguer, and at heart un
true to the Cubans and the republic
over which he presides. Hear him as
he bo artfully pleads for foreign con
quests and the empire
We quote from
the Sun:
"The president believes that in ac
quiring territory from Spain we haye
followed the policy inaugurated by our
forefathers in the 'onward movement
of the; republic' ,'W II' their successors
falter land plead organic impotency in
the nation?' he says and asserts that
surely after 125 years of achievement
for mankind we will not now surrender
our equality with other Powers in mat
ters fundamental and essential to na
tionality.' It Is a great problem which
the country has to face and Mr. Mc:
IKlnley is convinced, that it win oe
solved in accordance with national in
terest, national honor and the nations
duty to the people of our new posses
sions: It is auite natural tnat ne
should take an optimistic view of the
situation."
.The inauguration or coronation of
the first emperor is ended. , We wish
to reproduce from two independent
Philadelphia papers how that inspiring
and magnificent display that was to be j
was regarded in advance. The Times
began an editorial with these words.:
"Preparations have been made at
Washington for the reinauguration of
President McKinley upon a scale un
known before. The route from the
cap tol to the White house is lined with
triumphal columns, and the president
will be escorted by a military and civic
parade that is expected to attract
enormous crowds. It will .be an im
perial pageant designed to celebrate
the elevation of the president of the
republic to a position of more jhan im
perial power. -
That is correct. He has more "im
perial power" today than Emperor
William of Germany is clothed with.
He has far' more supreme power than
Kingj Edward VII of England has now
or wjll ever have. The Record closed
an editorial in anticipation of the gor
geous show: and foreshadowing royalty
in these words: .
"It: is all; very magnificent, impres-
Islve and costly, and the memory of the
superb spectacle should linger long in
the minds of the hundreds of thou
sands who will be there to see. - A 1 ke
opportunity to witness the culmination
if republicanism in federal politics
may never again be presented. As
the patriot'c citizen shall ponder on
the amazing difference between the
I simple Jefferson inauguration cere
mony of 1801 and the pomp and glory
and plitter of the McKinley ceremonial
I'n 11M Tin will hf InanirAfl with a
clearer apprehension of the Immeasur
ble gulf fixed between ancient demo
cratic doctrine and modern republican
practice."
If the people do not watch w'th un
sleeping eyes McKinley and his tribe
they;.will lose their liberties and they
v 11' never return save only through
terrific revolution and awful blood-let-
thing;. Despots never surrender with
out a trial, and traitors are never sat-
sTied without a struggle. Each pa
triot should feel as the following old
ines express a thought:
"This Argus o'er the people's - rights
j! doth an eternal v gil keep,
I Let no soothing sound of Maia's harp
. i lull its hundred eyes to sleep.

iSKPtTBLICAX V?QAV3 ON
CUBAN
The republican newspapers of prom
inence continue their opposition to Mc
Kinliy's treatment of Cuba. They de
nounce the j perfidy of this country in
proper terms. The . North American,
the oldest republican "paper of Phla-
lelphia. holds that this "nation is dis
honored" and "for the sake of material
advaptage.'f The Chicago Evening
Post republican, says the people have
"rlghjteous indignation"' as to the ex
treme "policy of criminal aggression
and eternal dishonor." Plain talk but
most p true ! j The Springfield (Mass.)
Republican j holds that if this goyern-
ment ."promises independence to Cuba
a real independence, with no string
to Itj it ought to give independence,
and leave Cuba to decide for itself
iboui the string. That is murainy,
we understand it, and it applies to na-
tions, as well as to the man across the
Utreet." The Rochester (N. T.) Pest-
3xprss republican, sees dishonor and
wrong in the policy of the government.
It points to certain domestic questions
not interfered with by the . United
Statejs government as to the states. It
says,: and it is pointed and important
nough to be farther drawn upon, that
"the federal government does not at
tempt to regulate the indebtedness
that any state may contract or to pre
vent 1 the repudiation of a state's in
debtedness, t Even-in the matter of the
maintenance of domestic order, which
s the most important function of gov
ernment, the federal government does
not Undertake to intervene without a
spciaj request from the state where
the disorder has occurred. Why
should not Cuba be permitted to enjoy
the same right?" Yes, and whv not?
Let the republican papers continue to
condemn a most palpable ingulty and
a great outrage On" the part of the Mc
Kinley set of incapables who are per
fidious and greedy, v

er for "Washington on the 4th. It was
'to be;; "warm and balmy." But it was
terrific and most blustering. The Bal

HOME FOLKS.
Speaker "W. F. Stevenson. South
Carolina - House,,- who was introduced
to hh. North Carolina, house, is a rua-
tive of this atate. and a man of stir
ring ability. "
The exact amount that will be ap
proprlated to education is not known to
ua as we write, but it will not oe oi
the extravagant figures that some en-
thusiasta sought. North Carolina is nox
in a condition to respond to all demands
however appealing and proper, in them
selves. We suppose the London pension bill
passed the house. It had passed the
senate unanimously. It Is a good bill
and will command the approval of all
who examine it. It gives a confeder
ate a pension who is disabled it matters
not when and how. He can get a pension
if unable to work if he does not own
$500 worth of property. Indigent, wid
ows married before April 1865, and still
unmarried will receive pensions. All
special laws are repealed and persons
named must be examined by county
boards. Mr. London writes in kb pa
per ithe Pittsboro Record; '.
"The bill directs the state treasurer
to pay the pensions out of the general
fund if the special pension tax does
not raise enough to pay them in lull,
but limit the total amount to two nun-
dred thousand "dollars. This is a larg
increase over what has ever before been
paid -the amount paid last year being
about $115,000. The f ouiith ciass pem-
sioneirs received last year only $14.50
apiece, but this year they ougnt to get ,
about $25,"
Mr. F, P. Jones died recently at Dunn
He was a lawyer of standing and influ
ence. The Dunn Banner says of him
that "until his health failed two years
ago. he was a recognized leader among
the successful attorneys of this section.
He was an. active leader and worker In
the political affairs of hfe county and
state. He represented ithis district in
the state senate in 1899. and did it with
ability. In the senate chamber he was
looked upoii as a man ot discretion and
fime judgment." He was born in ob
scurity, and worked on a farm when
young, which is to his credit. He work

Governor Jarvia is being sharply
handled just now because of his atti
tude towards impeaching the Judges,
The Ralejgh News and Observer shows
how urgent, how bold, how determined
he was for impeaching Governor Holden
and two republican Judges of that time.
Now he opposes hauling over the coals
the two republican Judges to be im
peached. Colonel John R. Webster, in
his paper the Reidsville Weekly, and
he is a, decided admirer of the ex-sen
ator, refers to the article from him in
the Raleigh News and Observer of the
14th of July. Colonel Webster says:
"It did not seem to us to be just the
tning ior a man ox Governor Jarvis
influence to seek to deter the people's
representatives from tne discharge "of
their sworn duty in inquiring into the
merits of this matter. We thought the
cnarges snouia be investigated in a
spirit of fairness and 'that politics
should not be injected into the investi
gation. We were not surprised when
raituimi y, j-eassuii tuuu i-iinwey tntugeu
that politics was the moving causa in
the investigation, but we were sur
prised to see Governor Jarvis to go irnto
prinit to tell the people s representa
tives to shut their eyes to facts forced
upon their attention lest a political
blunder be made.
He cbjects t j tfre certificate cf charac
ter he gave Furches and Douglas. The
Messenger has forborne to comment al
though surprised at Governor Jarvis's
surprising attitude. We make another
extract from Colonel Webster's edi
torial: ''
"We find in our issue of October 25th,
1894, a very appreciative report of
speech -the Governor. made in Reidsville
four days previously," and in said repoii.
the following:
One of the -senators happiest hits
on staite matters was his dissection of
the non-partisan judiciary issue. He
brought down the house when he said
he had as soon think ot putting Breck
inridge at the head of a female college
as to put l1 urehes on a nun-partisan su

made the speech referred to abovt,

BAD BLOOD,

The skin is the seat of an almost end

by various names, but are all due to the

Charlotte Observer: Washington,
March 4. The empire is here;, its ad
vent being heralded today by a wonder-
fuJ display of militarism and amid the
blare of many trumpets, and altogether
the coronation of Emperor William the
First was a great success. A well
known North Carolina democrat who
terms today's exercises "the corona-
tionr" said that he had heard a good
deal about imperialism during the cam
paign, but didn't think it amounted to
much until he reached Washington and
saw the Cleopatra needles," victory
columns and arches of triumph along
Executive avenue; in front of the White
house. "They are unmistakable, signs
that the empire is here," said he., "for
I never saw anything like that at an
inauguration before."
The modest allied powers who gutted
and robbed China are now1 agreeing
that $150,000,000 must be paid for the
loss of life and property. The conduct
of the allied ' troops, with one or two

and most savage. The Philadelphia
Record writing of the indemnity de
manded pertinently says that "nothing
is mentioned of the indemn ty to
which the innocent peasantry and vil
lagers of China are entitled for the pil
lage committed by the allied troops.
Should a tribuntl of arbitration "have
an opportunity to strike a fair balance
there would probably be a very small
account to be paid on .either side."

C Is in possession of a unique relic in the
shape of a diamond pin which was at one
time the property of Abraham Lincoln,
and which is the only piece of ewelry of
the kind that President Lincoln ever
wore. - The pin is of the old fashioned
style of cluster brooches, with a clasp at J
the back for the purpose of securing it f
to the frilled shirt fronts worn fcy gentle-j
men 50 years ago. The center diamond is'
a large, particularly white, one, and it is
surrounded by a number of smaller bril-
liants.
- The pin has a strange history. Some
years before -the war and prior to the
time that Abraham . Lincoln was begin
ning to loom up as a presidential possi
bility, while practicing law in Illinois, he
met a young dandy from New York state
whose sporting proclivities had caused
him to run short of funds. The young fel
low went to Lincoln for assistance and
left with his as security for a loan, a
handsome diamond pin. For some rea
son he never returned to redeem the
pledge, and from that day Lincoln did not
again see him. '.-v;
Lincoln was naturally a man of quiet
. taste in matters of dress and seldom
wore jewelry of any kind. However, his
accidental possession of a fine ornament' '
proved a temporary temptation to adorn -
himself. One day James Moyers. a stock
dealer of Kentucky and a close personal
friend of Mr. Lincoln, who had known
him intimately from childhood, went to
Springfield on a visit. ' As soon as he
saw Lincoln the pin attracted; his atten
tion. "Well, who'd 'a' thought that Abe Lin
coln would be strutting around the streets
with a diamond pin in his shirt front!"
exclaimed Moyers in mock surprise.
Lincoln looked vaguely abashed and
tried to explain. The explanation ended
by his taking the pin from his shirt and
pinning it on Moyers, insisting as he did
so that he did not want it and was only
too anxious to get rid of it. Moyers kept
the ornament for some time and finally
gave it to a friend, James Drummond.
Drummond was captured during the wax
by the Federals and died at Fort Monroe.
In 18G6 a sale of his poperty and person-"
al effects took place at Barnwell, S. C.
Among the latter was the pin that had
belonged to Lincoln. Colonel Cave
bought it for -a small sum." He knew its
history and prizes the relic highly. At
lanta Constitution.
Clear Case.
According to the testimony of an Amer
ican correspondent in Porto Rico, we still
woefully lack popularity among the na
tives' there. This is his description of the
manner in which a suit, to which an
American is a party, is conducted in one
of the insular courts there: !

case? a

Prnden'n ExqnUlte Writing;. . j
Every day or two Executive Clerk Pru-j
den appears in the senate or the hopse
with the announcement that he is the
bearer of a message in writing from the
president of the United States. The
writing is the work of Mr. Prnden him-'
self. Connected with that handwriting Is
ah interesting story: v "
. Away back in wartime Mr. Prnden was
a soldier, stationed in Washington, and
doing duty as an orderly at the door of i
.the jndge advocate general. In moments
of idleness he amused himself with draw
ing pictures and pen scrolls and particu
larly with copying : letters - in a large,
; round hand, equal to engrossing, veryj
legible and very handsome. One day an
army officer found him engaged in this
work. . -i"-, ' ' . : -
. it "You haven't any business here," said
the officer. "Why don't you get a cler-;
ical position
f "I haven't any influence to get a clerk
shin." was the soldier's reply. I
j The officer proved to be. General Bab-
cock. He went over to., the war depart-
vment, arranged for Mr. Pruden's appoint
ttipnt, and in a little while the soldier was,
'giving the government the benefit of his!
talent for penmanship. When Generalj
!:Babcock went over to the White Honse
with General Grant, he took Mr. Prnden
-along with him, and there Prudpn has
remained to the present day. He has
never lost the art of handling his pen
with artistic skill, and the invitations to
dinners and receptions which issue from
-the White House - are his handiwork.
When he prepares a written message for
, congress, each word is as beautifully es
"ecnted as a bit of copperplate engraving.
