(News and Observer.) Whatever William Jennines Brvan says is well said. He is credited even ljy his most bitter enemies with - .a oeino; the wisest man in speech of any living man who speaks often Jne reason why he makes so few mistakes is that he does not talk upon any subject unless he has deep convictions, and he speaks from a sincere heart, as well as a trained intellect. On Tuesday he was one of ine speakers at the dedication of the Nebraska building at the great Omaha Exposition. Mr. Bryan's oration was notable for being his first public declaration on the war issue. He took a high ground on the question, urging that the war is for humanity, and not for extension of United States territory. In concluding, he said the manifest destiny of this nation is not to acquire new realms to govern, but to carry out the fundmental principles of democracy to the end that equality among the citizens may be scured. Mr. Bryan said: ' " War is harsh; it is attended by hardship and suffering; it means a vast expenditure of men and money. We may well pray for the coming of the time, promised in Holy Writ, when the spears shall be beaten into pruning hooks anil the swords into plowshares; but universal peace can not come until justice is enthroned throughout the world. Jehovah deals with nations as He deals with men, and for both decrees that the wages of sin is death. Until the right has triumphed in every land and love reigns in every heart, Governments must, as a last resort, appeal to force. As long as the oppressor is deaf to the voice of reason, so long must the citizen accustom his shoulder to the musket and his hand to the saber. ' "Our nation exhausted diplomacy in its efforts to secure a peaceful so lution of the Cuban question and only took up arms when it was com pelled to choose between war and servile acquiescence in cruelties which would have been a disgrace to barbarism. 4 "History will vindicate the posi tion taken by the United States in the war with Spain. In saying this I assume that the principles which were invoked in the inauguration of the war will be observed in its prose cution and conclusion. If a contest undertaken for the sake of . humanity degenerates into a war of conquest we shall lind it ditlicult to meet the charge of having added hypocrisy to greed. Is our national character so weak that we oa.nr,Qt withstand the temptation to appropriate the lirst piece of land that comes within our reach? '"To inflict upon the enemy all possible harm is legitimate warfare, but shall we contemplate a scheme for the. colonization of the Orient merely because our fleet won a re markable victory in the harbor of Manila? ' "Our guns destroyed a Spanish fleet, but can destroy that self-evident truth, that Govern men ts derive their just powers not from superior force, but from the consent of Uie. gov erned? "Shall wq abandon a just resist ance to European encroachment upon the western hemisphere in order to mingle in the controversies of Europe and Asia? "Nebraska, standing midway be tween the oceans, will contribute her share toward the protection of our seacoast; her sons will support the flag at home and abroad; wherever the honor and the interests of the nation may require, Nebraska will hold up the ha.tds of the Government while the battle rages, and when the war clouds roll away her voice will be heard pleading for the mainten ance of those ideas which inspired the founders of our Government and gave the nation its proud eminence among the nations of the earth. "If others turn to thoughts of ag grandizement and yield allegiance to those who clothe land-covetous-ness in the attractive garb, cf 'na tional destiny,' the people of Ne braska, will, if 1 mistake not their sentiments, plant themselves upon the disclaimer entered by Congress and expect that good "faith shall characterize the making of peace, as it did the beginning of war. Gold smith calls upon statesmen: "To Judge how wide the limits stand Betwixt a splendid and a happy land." "If some dream of the splendo.ra of a heterogenous enpjre. c&oiroling the gjobe,, wc shall be content to aid in hringiug enduring happiness to a homogeneous people, consecrated to the purpose of mainaining'a Govern ment of the people, for the people, by the people.''

In all our acquaintance with North Carolina politics there has never been in the Senate so loose a talker and writer as Senator Butler. He has not hesitated in sneech or writing, to bring the gravest charges against his fellow-citizens charges affecting their personal character, their personal honor, and without adducing a line of evidence to sup- rt his allegations. The loose talk has become a habit of his life, and it does not surprise us that he has been called to book. In the Senate Thu re lay in the discussion of the war revenue bill, we are told that "he made serious reflections upon the Senate itself, charging that its ma- ority had been 'unduly influenced' upon the question of bonds." Called to account by Senator Gallinger, and t being demanded of him that he make his charge specific, he dis claimed any personal knowledge of the truth of the things he alleged. n a word, he was driven into a cor ner and took water. This man's whole political warfare is traduction of his betters; charges which he cannot support; allegations which he knows to be untrue; loose generalization for which he has no warrant. The public owes thanks to Senator Gallinger for putting this public defainer in a deep dark hole. Thousands of persons have been cured of piles by using DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. It heals promptly and cures eczema and all skin diseases. It gives immediate relief. Phil II. Thomas. The Despised "40 Center." ( Wilkesboro Chronicle.) During the last campaign, the "de spised 40 cent Mexican" dollar was exhibited by thegoldbugs as a fright, ful example of what the country would come to, should we have free coinage of silver. The gold bugs were eiecteu anu are running the government now But who would have thought that this goldbug gov ernment would have so soon gone into the business of buying up "Mexi can 40 oenters" with which to pay off our soldiers. But that is just what our government is doing. It has al ready bought 250,000 of these "40 centers" and is buying more. Why? Because these "40 centers" have a greater purchasing power-at Manila than the U. S. gold dollar. Will the goldbugs please explain? And still the gold Congress wont pass a bill for the coinage of the silver seignor age, which amounts to. $1&7,000,000, now. Th,ey fear this might be in the way oi some of the "moneyed pa triots" gobbling up more bonds. His Poetical Assistants. (Frank L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution.) "Molly," he said to the wife, "I wish you'd finish this poem on 'Hob son" I've got to get it off to-night. Just go ahead qn it while I round up my fifteenth Dewey ode." And then he pushed the following penciled poem in "skeleton" toward I her: ) " bay. crew, way, view. made, skies.; fade flies.,J And in short order the wife handed hie the following: "It was in Santiago bay That llobson and bis crew Sped like the lightning on their way With Spanish guns iu view. "A charge, as if on hell they made. Beneath the blazing skies. And never shall their glory fade While Freedom's banner flies" "Good!" he exclaimed, "and now, if you're tired, just order some sal mon far supper, and I'll let little Jdhnnie till out that "Little Green Apple Tree" poem, as he's been eat ing cucumbers and can put the proper spirit into it."

Resort Regions Along The Pleasant Places Which the Seeker After Splendid Scenery Mid the Carolina Springs Filled with Natural Medicine, and Bab bhng Brooks Whose Music Drowns all Care Happy Spots Where the Angler May Find the " Gamest of the Finny Tribe, and Shady Glens with Quiet Nooks Made for Lovers' Wooing All Provided with Excellent and Ample Hotel Accommodations Where Located and How Reached by the Superb Train Service of the S. A. L. It is the purpose of this article to call the attention of that portion of the traveling public in search of cool, pleasant, healthful and comfort able Summer homes and resorts, to the many attractions and the unsur passed accommodations offered by that portion of the "Upper South" bordering on the broad Atlantic and the lovely Chesapeake; to the beauti ful "Land of the Sky" in Western North Carolina; to that section lying between these two districts a ter ritory abounding in beauty and health, containing the finest lithia spripgs in the world, and to some of the most noted and magnificent re sorts in the country, in the Caro linas, Tennessee and Southeastern Virginia. The regions to be briefly described contain seashore, mountain, valley and lovely upland and embrace that most beautiful and healthful section of the South extending from Tide- water V: rginia and iMortu Carolina, through the health-giving pastoral districts of the Old North State to the famous Blue Ridge section of Western- North Carolina. This re gion aboiinds in lofty peaks and'beau tiful lakes and rivers, where is found the grandest scenery east of the Rockies. All of the above beautiful and attractive region is traversed by the Seaboard Air Line, by which an excellent systen of through train ser vice and satisfactory schedules reaches quickly, comfortably and con veniently, mountain, valley and coast, offering to the Summer tourist the unsurpassed advantages of a most ex cellent vestibuled train equipment and reasonable rates to his Summer home. The regions described herein em brace all varieties of water courses the tiny pouring mountain stream, the "babbling brook," the marshy creek, the river, the sound, the bay and the mighty Atlantic. In these waters are to be found nearly every variety of game fish worth fishing for. In the Western North Carolina Mountains the famed and beautiful Swannanoa and French Broad rivers are so well known for the piscatorial treasures .and pleasures that to at tempt a description of the joys you will find there will probably be but a repetition of what you already know from the delightful experience. These noble streams as they wind their beautiful tortuous way from mountain heights, down, down, down, eventually to mingle their way in the great sea, are veritable paradises of sport to the angler. Such secluded glens, with deep still pools of cold mountain springs water; such lovely falls, with rapids beyond, where knee-deep in the rushing torrent, sport royal with speckled beauty will be yours for the casting; such beauti ful wooded banks, under whose lofty bowers the rest for the noon-day lunch is a dream of "linked sweet ness long drawn out!" The Blue Ridge water shed, noted for its abundance of entrancing and roman tic mountain lakes, from the Cana dian line to the State of Georgia, has liberally besprinkled the Carolina mountains with these sparkling pools, which, having been but little visited by fishermen, are the home of large numbers of trout, pickerel and black bass, and of a large variety of less gamey members of the finny tribe. If you prefer salt water and deep sea sport, take .one of the Seaboard Air Line's elegant vestibuled trains to Portsmouth, and the broad At lantic is at your servioe. The har bor of Norfolk and Hampton Roads is yearly the Mecca of visiting fish ermen from all parts of the country east of the Mississippi. "LAND OF THE SKY." For generations the famous "Land of the Sky" has been a synonym for the sublime, the grand, the magnifi cent in Nature's beauties. Leaving Charlotte, we begin to climb the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. "O'er hill and dale," our express train flies, through some of the most beautiful pastoral scenery in the State. Oo and on, past Lincolnton, Shelby and the many health giving springs which make this most favor ed, of States a natural sanitarium, until we halt at Rntherfordton, the terminus of the Carolina Central railroad division of the great Sea board Air Line system. llre we take a comfortable stage, drawn by four fast and sure footed horses, anil begin that never-to-be-forgotten ride to Fairyland rich with a thousand of nature's "gems of pure ray serene" Chimney Rock, Hickory Nut Gap, Great Silver Falls, Bat Cave, Hickory Nut Falls, Bottomless Pools, Broad River, Pulpit Rock. LOVELV LEXOIIt. A beautiful and charming town in the mountains, with an atmosphere clear, bracing and delightfully cool in Summer, Lenoir is one oi tne most attractive Summer resorts in the Carolina. "Enriched by mountains atta" kissed by the son," this quaint lo,,,vn wtn t8 attractions of romantic Seaboard Air Line. Have Many Attractions for Health or Pleasure. Mountains of Western North drives, surrounding lakes and beau tiful Yadkin River Valley, with its gorgeous sunsets, its glorious dawns ana its thousand other charms, offers its hospitality to the city tired tour ist, and the number of those tourists who year after year accept that hos pitality ana arter a pleasant sojourn among these green mountains return to their accustomed haunts with stronger nerves and steadier steps attests to the well earned popularity 01 lieuoir. 11 you are an artist, na ture offers you here grand and pic turesque scenery that will defy your sKiii 10 reproauce in all its beauty. and with a prodigal hand the Mighty Architect, with moving lights and shadows and cloud effects, constantly changes the picture and adds new beauties to the scene. If you are not an artist, but can nevertheless appreciate the beauties of nature, yon win certainly enjoy a sojourn'at ienoir, where scenes of quiet beauty or startling grandeur await you at every turn. To reach Lenoir from the North and East take the Seaboard Air Line to Lincolnton, at which point the popular Carolina and Northwestern railway (formerly Chester and Lenoir railroad) makes convenient connec tion, and will quickly and comfort ably convey you to Lenoir, the ter minus of the road 47 miles from Lincolnton. BEAUTIFUL BLOWING KOCK. Blowing Rock, a noted precipice in Caldwell, county, on the crest of the Blue Ridge, towering over 4,000 feet above tidewater, gives the name to the surrounding country the village and post office of that name being about two miles distant from Green Park Blowing Rock is but five min utes' walk distant from Green Park Hotel. This spot is so called, not because it is given to blowing of any kind, but for the reason that the grand funnel shaped chasm or gorge of which it is the apex, compresses the westerly winds in a sort of noz zle, and at times rushing them over the "Rock" with great force when the air is not greatly disturbed else where. The glory of this lofty plateau, the Grandfather, with its towering pro file, makes the background of the landscape on the west. The Pilot Mountain, one nundred miles to the east; King's Mountain of Revolution ary fame, far away to the south; the Table Rock and the Black Mountain. with its Mitchell's Peak, the highest point in the Atlantic States, together -iL 1 1 1 ... ... wim a umowy outline 01 loity peaks in every direction, lend enchant ments to the view. The western slope of the Blue Ridge at Blowing Rock is so gentle that the descent is scarcely percep tible for miles and good roads and pleasant drives, which are rarely found at this elevation, abound. A visit to the Grandfather, long considered the highest point of the Appalachain chain, will repay the lover of nature for the ten miles ex cursion. Ihe Watauga Falls, Valle Crucis Falls and the Valley of the Watauga are accessible over a e'ood road, which skirts for some distance the beautiful river of that name. The drive to Boone, the county seat, in the New River Valley, offers a suc cession of charming views. The Falls of Linville, and Linville, the new resort on that river, are reached over an excellent road just com pleted along the side of the Grand father, which opens to tourists some of the grandest scenery in the State. LINCOLNTON, X. C. Lincolnton. N. C, is noted for its mineral springs, lithia, arsenic and alum. Within a short distance of the town are found the Catawba river and a beautiful lake, from which are ught many kinds of game fish, trout, pickerel, bass, etc. As a sum mer resort this vicinity is unsur passed. The town occupies a hifh elevation about 1.500 feet above s'ea level in that beautiful, fertile, roll ing country on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, known as the Piedmont section, and has been celebrated for many years throughout the States of North Carolina. South Carolina and parts of Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee for its ideal climate and its famous mineral springs, attracting many visitors each year to drink its waters, who, feeling the curative powers of those wonderful waters, carried it with them to drink at their homes always experiencing the most wonderful re sults from its use. The springs were purchased by some gentlemen in' Philadelphia and Raleigh, who determined to place this wonderful water before the pub lic. The water was analyzed and found to be of the "greatest value. About a mile from the town of Lin colnton is the famous Lincoln Lithia Springs, whose waters are celebrated for their healing qualities in diseases of the kidneys and bladder; also for gout, rheumati sm and the varied forms of dyspepsia. STATELT CHIMNEY BOCK. With towering mountains on either Attend TT-crp hand, and the most picturesque seen ery east of the Rockies, Chimney Rock is a revelation. Up the steep mountain path we climb, now parting the dewy rhododendrons, now looking down a sheer hundred feet to the path which we were treading but few moments ago, now plucking the oainty ferns clustering around crystal spring, or gazing at a poplar iwentv-eight feet in circumference and eighty feet to first limb. Pas ing Pulpit Rock we reach Chimney Rock proper. It is but four year's since man first stood upon that sum mit. ims solid circular monument of granite, if cut into paving stone would pave a street fifty feet from curb to curb and three and a quarter nines long. Up, up, we go, and at last we find ourselves at the summit The feeling inspired by the massive rocK, standing like Nature's sentinel. guarding the fairyland bevond and al around it, with these matchless Great Silver Falls in the foreground above the eternal blue of a smiling sky. while below, thousands of feet below, we gaze in awe-struck wonder at the glories of a wondrous scene it is beyond the power of pen to describe The view from the dome is superb Words are ineffectual. It must be seen to be comprehended. A gor geous panorama is spread before vou. Now and then a white cloud floats listlessly below. King's Mountain, the scene of the famous Revolution ary battle, can be faintly perceived sixty miles to the southeast. hen viewing the scenery from this particu lar point, those who have read Burke's lesson on the sublime and beautiful will be filled with a just ap- iJii-uiaiiuii ui wiiai iue ueautuui is. But now the view changes. We now commence the lournev of rounding the great precipice to get the best view of the Great Silver Falls. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN AND CHATTANOOGA Overlooking historic old Chatta noogaf a mile to the south of that famous and beautiful city, rises, grim and defiant, the lofty peak whose name scarce does justice to the ini posing grandeur of the spectacle which the tourist finds spread out before him on reaching her summit. Two thousand three hundred feet high, and commanding a view of a country full of interest. Lookout Mountain offers to the visitor a mag nificent panorama of Chattanooga river, the valley, tue city, and of the hills and mountains for miles around. In and about Chattanooga are to be found the famous National Military ark, embracing all the lighting ground of the Battle of Chattanooga, Grant's and Bragg's headquarters, and eight miles of boulevard alonsr the crest of Missionary Ridge; Chat tanooga .National Cemetery, with 14,- 000 Union graves; Confederate Ceme tery, thickly populaced; also old military prisons, hospitals, breast works and valuable and interesting relics of the war that is gone. the temperature and altitude of Lookout Mountain seem especially adapted to persons with throat and g diseases. Along its cfest and over its sides are dotted hundreds of Summer homes, populated during the heated term by families from all parts of the South. Chattanooga is reached via Sea board Air Line to Atlanta, thence via Western and Atlantic railway. From Chattanooga a ride of twenty-live minutes, by incline railroad, will take you to the summit of Lookout Mountain. There are other places reached by this great line which are full of at tractions for the seeker after Summer comfort. Information in detail about the many places of interest reached by the Seaboard Air Line can be had upon request from its general pas senger agent, T. J. Anderson, Ports mouth, Va.

HAND-IN-HAND. A third of a century, and more, ince Appomattox's historic dav, has rolled itself into the scroll of the rrecoverable past. A new genera- ion has been born and entered upon the joys and cares of life in an age marked by Titanic strides of progress. The population of a republic con ceived of human benevolence and born in the travails of war and bap- ized in heroic blood, has doubled ts iopulation and quadrupled its wealth. Cities have grown into aagnificence of proportion and plender of aspect, while others as f from a magician's wand have leaped forth where least expected. Fortunes have been piled to collossal im mensity with a suddenness that would extinguish Aladdin's lamp. In the meanwhile a devastated South has risen Phoenix like from the ashes of ruin and clothed herself in the beauty of youth. That ungainly garment the "bloody shirt" is no longer the chief political capital of a hateful Northern partizanism. Pat riotism has supplanted Southern sectionalism,' and enterprise has driven Northern hatred to the rear. Another war has broken upon the remnant of the generation of the 6os and upon the hale and healthy new born generation of succeeding de cades. A war, not internicine nor fired by the spirit of sectional jealousy; but a war to vindicate the nation's honor and to stay the bloody hands of a treacherous tryant from barbarous cruelty to our helpless neighbors.

An Officer on the Cruiser Baltimore Writes of His Experiences and What was Learned The Spaniards had Every Advantage but were Outclass ed by the Marksmanship of the American Quaners One of the Re sults of Frequent Target Practice. (New Vork Sun.) Among the many letters that were received yesterday in the Eastern States from officers and seamen of Admiral Dewey's fleet there was one from Past Assistant Engineer K. L. Beach, of the cruiser Baltimore, under date of May 8th, addressed to a friend in this "city. It sums up what in the opinion of many naval officers are valuable lessons" of the Manila fight, and in addition gives several details, especially as to the experiences of men below decks during the light, that have not ap peared in print thus far. The letter. although written not for publication. is of such a nature that these ex tracts can be given from it without violating propriety: "We feel that we have had a great victory, which we ascribe to several causes, rirst. the Spaniard is hIu-hvk behind the times. He knew that an American fleet was expected and was so sure of bis tremendous superiority that he took absolutely no precaution. The night we ran by the forts (in the early morning of the engagement) Spanish officers were all at a grand ball. The entrance to the harbor was planted with torpedoes; he thought that was enough, and had no patrol, picket boats or torpedo boats on watch. The result is that we ran by their magnificent guns guarding the entrance to Manila i 1 . . .. jjy, auu were uut oi range llisitle before the Spaniards knew it. 'Another reason for our success was due to Commodore Dewey's orders. Not one of the ships had any intimaiion that we would run by mc iui is we um u u ui tinny nines away, when the Commodore gave the order. We were by the Spanish forts and at the fleet by 5:30 a. m. on Sunday, May 1st. They were ten 6hips strong, carrying 116 modern uns, to which we opposed a superior fleet of six ships carrying 135 guns. Two of their ships were over 3,200 tons displacement, and the rest were modern gun-boats. This fleet was assisted by batteries on shore armed with modern guns, which made their guns superior in number to ours. In number of men engaged they were undoubtedly far suierior to us. The Spaniards were absolutely confident of victory. ISo other outcome was anticipated by them; no preparation was made for a different result. I think that their ships, combined with their forts, made them equal us, so far as powers of offence and defence were concerned. They had as many modern guns approximately to the same size as we had and more men to fire them. They should have been able to have fired as much weight of shot in a specified time as we did. "The whole thing, in other words, lay in the fact that it was the Amer ican against the Spaniard; the Anglo Saxon against the Latin. Every shot fired from our fleet was most deliler ately, coolly and pitilessly aimed. The Spaniards lired an enormous number of times, with apparently the most impracticable aim. Shells dropped all around our ships; we were in action for over four hours; hundreds of shots and shell fell close to us. Only five or six pierced us, and they did no damage. 'Ihe damage done by our ships was frightful. I have visited all of the sunken Spanish ships, and had ot seen the effects of American marksmanship, I would hardly give credit to reports of it. One smoke- tack of the Castilla, a 3,300-ton Spanish ship, was struck eight times, and the shells through the hull were so many and so close that it is im possible that a Spaniard could have ived on her deck. The other large hips, the Reina Cristina, was per forated in the same way. We did not employ much tactics because there wasn't much need for them. There were the enemy, and we went for them bullheadedly and made them exceedingly sick. Ihe lesson I drew from the light s the great utility of target practice. The Spaniard has none; we have it every three months. Strengths of navies are compared generally ship for ship; the personnel is just as im portant. I am confident that, had we manned the Spanish ships and had the Spaniards manned our fleet, the American side would have been as ictorious as it was. The Spaniard certainly was brave, for he stuck to his gun to the last. "My personal part in the light was the engine room. The hard part the engagement was not the fight- ng part; that was all right, but it was getting ready for it. I was 32 hours without relief or rest in the ine rooms of the Baltimore, the temperature varying from 120 to 160 rees. Since the light we have eased down on work and are taking easy, except for a strict watch. But it is intensely uncomfortable. The heat is terrific, standing steadily below decks at 95 degrees and on deck much higher in the daytime. Another thing that caused us much inconvenience during the fight and after was that all of our laundry was being washed at Hong Kong and we were short of necessary under wear. We are as comfortable as Americans could be. The food, is of course, good, but it is all salt food. We are living on regular sailormen's fare, but we don t kick at that." llaln i wanted when th nerve heentna weak and the appetit falls, flood's Sar- sa paruia gives neip oy waiing u oiooa rieb, pure and nourishing.
