IS IT R10MT?
When 70a think of It seriously this
thing of one country owning another
country and selling it for a money
consideration to a third goTernment
sounds too much like human slavery.
What else can it be?
The United States bought the Phil
ippine islands and paid a price for
them. The inhabitants of those is
lands probably didn't think it was
fair to be sold like so many cattle.
Anyhow they kicked when the delivery
of the goods was attempted and now
we are shooting them into submission.
The British Lion and the Dutcr
Boer are now scrapping over lumc
such business in South Afrioa and we
are told there is a secret Anglo-Ger
man Portuguese treaty pending by
which the Portuguese colonies are to
be divided up for money considera
tions, and Cecil Rhodes is to have a
three-mile strip through which to run
a railroad.
Trading, swapping, buying and sell'
ing whole countries, people and all,
may be the right and the proper thing;
but we do not believe we have the
right to force a Filipino to become an
American citizen (or slave) if he
doesn't want to become such. No
more is it right to make a German out
of a Portuguese unless the business is
mutual.
There are some things, perhaps,
worth fighting for for instance, for
your country when some other country
is trying to take it away or trade It
" off to somebody you don't want to be
long to; but we don't like the idea of
being the man to shoot the other fel
low to make him submit to the trade.
And we do not exactly catch the
point that such things are necessary to
carry Christianity to heathen nations.
Rather an odd way to promulgate the
doctrine of "Peace on earth, good
will toward men."
Elsewhere today we print an extract
from a lengthy article by Jacob G
Schnrman, prisident of Cornell Uni
versity, on "Our Duty to the Philip
pines." Mr. Schnrman says the work
of the guns is about over and we
should now send missionaries in large
numbers. We will agree to the prop
osition, but must think the work of
the missionaries would have been
much more effective had they been
sent first instead of the guns. The
Filipinos are a suspicious people any
way and distrust all white people as a
result of Spain's treachery, that na
tion being the only white people they
have heretofore known, and now after
pursuing and shooting down their
comrades it wiTTbe no easy job to coo
vlnoe them that we are their friends
and they will be slow to aocept the
doctrines taught by our mission
arles.
There comes a wail this week from
the Chatham Citizen, than which there
is not a more bitter partlzan sheet in
the state, about the ruling of State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Mebane anent the decision of the su
preme court in the school board mat
ter. The Citizen complains because
it says, soma things are not satisfact
orily explained. That is tough. Mr
Mebane should take such as the Citi
sen on his knee or across his knee
and explain things. Anyhow, it
refreshing to have a man in offioe who
will try to honestly administer the
law, regardless of who likes it or who
does not. "

We think it would be the thing for
the city alderman to order a shed
built over South Elm street from the
depot to the court house to avoid the
necessity for umbrellas. Umbrellas
you know, are not popular any more
It might work a temporary hardship
on those merchants who have bought
a heavy spring stock of parasols, but
that does not matter. We want a
shed a broad and high old thing
one that covered wagons can drive
under.
That item in yesterday's Telegram
concerning the increase in textile man

larly in North Carolina, is a gratify
ing bit of news. This state leads

OUTLOOK IN FLORIDA.
Prospects for Orange crop new
Year la Washington.
Special to the Telegram.
Washington. Dec. 29 Apropos of
an item which appeared in a southern
dallT newspaper, regarding the out
look for the orange Industry of Flori
da, which, during the past few years,
hnause of the freezes which have oc
curred in the south, has been some
what retarded, several dealers in a lor-
ida fruit In Washington have been
seen. They all state that the ouuook
for Florida oranges this year is de
cidedly better than for the past two
or three years. The season thus far,
they say, has been a good one, and
the oranges, appear to be of a better
quality, sweeter and more juicy than
Florida oranges of last season, or me
season before. If a frost does not oc
cur, and a freeze take place this win
ter in Florida, the dealers say tnat
the season will be a very profitable
one.
It is claimed that the recent freezes,
which have, as stated, retarded some
what the development of the orange
industry in Florida, will in one par
ticular have a beneficial effect. It will,
according to this claim, have the ef
fect of driving the orange growers In
the state further south, beyond the
frost line. In this connection it might
be stated tbat many people coming
north from Florida concur in the opin
ion that the day for orange growing
in northern Florida has passed, and
that that southern Florida will become
the great orange grow ng portion ol
tne state It is said tbat the oranges
in southern Florida can be raised oet-
ter, more profitably, and without the
fear of having them killed by thesud-
aen ana severe irosts wnicn usuaiiy , or
which are likely to occur in Florida
further north towards the Georgia
line.
Dealers in this city say that the con
signments of Florida oranges north
this winter have been exceptionally
large.
President McKinley's New Year's
reception will mark the opening of the
social season in Washington. The
reception as heretofore, if -the weather
is fair will be a brilliant event. It is
not anticipated that there will be a
very large attendance at the congres
sional reception, as very few senators,
or representatives are in Washington,
but the diplomatic corps will be fully
represented, as will also the army and
navy. The public reception will last
from 1 to 2 o'clock, and preparations
have been made for a .very large
crowd.
New Years day will be observed in
Washington in about the usual man
ner. Watch night services being held
In all of the Methodist and Episcopal
churches, and several of the Catholic
churches of the city will hold midnight
mass. Monday will be spent in mak
ing and receiving calls.
The democrats of the house of rep
aesentatives are much interested in the
selection of a chairman for their coc-
gresslonalcommltttee. Representative
Livingston, of Georgia, Is frequently
mentioned, and will have considerable
support from the southern members.
There is some opposition to him, how
ever, which is said to arise from a
conviction in the minds of some con
gressmen that he is not exactly sound
on the question cf silver and expan
sion. Mr. Livingston's friends say,
however, that he would make an ad
mirable chairman of the congressional
committee, and if anyone 'could carry
the campaign to a successful Issue that
the Georgian would be able to do so
It is likely that other candidates for
the chairmanship will be named before
the matter is to be finally determined
Very few North Carolina or Virginia
people have been in Washington dur
ing tne holidays. All of the pro mi
nest men in both states are spending
the Christmas holidays at their various
homes.
Several of tne students of the Uni
versity of Virginia have passed through
the city during the past few days en-
route to their homes to spend New
Year.
