men; missing 79 men.
The promotion of Theodore Koosevelt
to be colonel of the "Rough Riders" will
give general satisfaction. He is a gal
lant, splendid man, even though a Re
publican. Spanish Premier Sagaata still talks for
war. He is not at all sagacious. The
best thing he could do for bis ruined
country would be toseek peace as quickly
as possible.
This war with Spain has shown that
for patriotism, valor and splendid fight
ing qualities the American nation still
leads the world. The United States is
y far the greatest country on earth.
The president is determined to promote
Sampson and Schley both, and to con
tinue Sampson in command of the fleet
at Santiago. The credit of the victory
over Cervera is due to Schle.v. a southern
man.
Admiral Cervera and the other cap
tured Spanish officers are quartered at
the naval academy at Annapolis. The
.prisoners are treated with the utmost
kindness and consideration, which is the
proper way to treat a conquered but
brave foe. Cervera is quartered where
Hobsonwas recently quartered while a
cadet.
The News-Observer truly says: "We
fought and won the Revolutionary and
the Mexican war with paper money.
The Civil war was fought and won with
paper money. Because the Democrats
and Populists insisted upon waging this
war in the same way, they are denounced
as enemies of their country by the bond
grabbers and their allies and agents,
they are unpatriotic, so were Washing
ton, Zach Taylor and Grant. In those
days the people had a, voice in goveru-
men t. We had not then sold ou t the tax
ing and fiscal policy of government to the
syndicates and trusts as we did in 1890."
A political campaign is on. It is only a
few months to the election. Interest in
the campaign is almost swept away by
the absorbing interest taken in the war
with Spain. Uut white men must not
forget their duty to their good old State
North Carolina has been most shamefully
misgoverned by the set of politicians put
in charge by Rep.-Pop. fusion. This is a
truth that no truthful, intelligent man
can deny. It is the duty of all true white
men to come together in the Democratic
party and help restore white rule in
North Carolina the only rule that has
ever given the State good government
This is a white man's country and must
be ruled by white men.
Gen. Toral, Spanish commander, offered
to surrender Santiago upon condition
that his army be allowed to march away
under arms and with flying colors. The
offer was declined with thanks and the
information that only an unconditional
surrender would be accepted. The flghi
ing was renewed Sunday and was con
tinued Monday, and doubtless will be
continued until the Spanish army is cap
tured or destroyed.; Tre fighting will
probably be done mostly with artillery,
until the Spanish fortifications are demol
ished. There is no telling bow long this
will take, but we will not be surprised
any day to hear that Santiago has fallen.
Reinforcements have arrived for the
Americans, who now number 27,000.
It is said the Spanish force in the city is
2,ooo. .,;

Two more convicts escaped from the

incompetents in charge, as guards and in
other official positions, is probably the
cause of so many escapes.
PRINTING THE TRUTH.

On Naval Losses.
Madrid, July 10. Spaniards are enter
ing upon a chastened mood. Papers
publish accurate statistics of Spain's
losses, which are placed at twenty-one
warships, with a total of 44,740 tons
displacement, and twenty-one merchant
men. They admit that the American
fleet is intact, only one trading vessel
having been captured by the Spaniards.
The illusion of attacking maritime com
merce, or of maintaining communication
with the colonies, is now dispelled.
Senor Silvela's organ, El Tempo, asks
if any one can still hope, after the de
struction of Cervera's squadron, that
Cuba can be for anything but an amphi
theatre where the martyrs of our army
will astonish the world by their suffering
and heroism. The consensus of opinion
is that Spain has displayed sacrifices
enough to save her national honor.
True as Gospel.
Monroe Enquirer.
W. T. Blackwell, of Durham, who has
been twice poor and once rich says that
when he had plenty of money he could
hardly get down to bis office without be
ing crowded by people inquiring about
his health and in other ways showing
their interest in mm, butnow be is a
poor man he is not bothered at ill by

he enjoys tokens of friendship now that

he was rich, for he knows that friendship
snown now is sincere.
So wags the world. There are thous

the glad hand and profess unbounded

Where They Are Hated by Lottery.
It was a cynio who said that mar'
riage is a lottery, but in the province
oi Smolensk, in Russia, this aphorism
has been reduced to a Quarterly fact.
for four times a year there is held the
most remarkable lottery ever devised.
a cnarge ox a rurue is made lor a
ticket, only one prize is to be drawn,
and it consists of the entire sum yielded
by the k.1o of tho tickets, amounting to
6,000 rubles. The lucky winner of the
prize is bouud to marry a certain dam
sel ; if ho takes " the . 5. 000 rubles.
Should ho bo married he is at liberty to
turu over the luouey and tho1 lady to
any friend whom Lo may .wish to put
iu for such n wood thiu. ; Should the
lady, hownver, refuse to marry the win
ner they ure allowed to divide the ru
bles betweeii thuvi.
