K LEY S QUITE ILL : SOURCE OF COMPLAINT, i General Wheeler Makes a Statement in Regard to Santiago and Montauk. Montauk Point. L. L, Pit. 2.General Wheeler made a statement today wherein he said that complaints received from relatives of soldiers of ill treatment in any camp bad their buns in newspaper re ports and not in complaints of soldiers themselves, lie point a out tnat every officer and soldier who went to Cuba re garded It as a. privilege, knowing they were to encounter yellow lever and a inconvenience nd hardships of a cam paign in such a country as that around Santiago. Iustead of complaining, they seemed grateful for being allowed ; to incur these dangers and Hardships. He said ou reason why the army lacked in equipment whs that Sampson's telegram Btatingtbat if the army reached Santiago immediately the city could be taken at ouce caused orderw to move be fore preparations were fully completed Continuing, he said: "After the surrender had been completed,, tne president and secretary of war. transported our army to one of the most healthful localities in the united States, f The soldiers, upon arrival here, received every care which conld be procured by money," General Wheeler said that with rareex captions the sick were cheerful and ira proving, and in all bis tours of the camp he had not seen a single patient who made the slightest complaint. While doubtless there has been individual cases of suffering, and possibly. of neglect, it was not surprising when the great wors of getting the camp in order was consid ered." "Mutually Agreeable Conditions." News-Observer. - The aggregation that met here day be fore yesterday for the purpose of putting North Carolina on the bargain counter doubtless. congratulated itself upon the adroitness with which the terms of sale were pnrasea. rne committees saia: "It is respectfully recommended that the counties and district proceed to nom inate co-operative tickets on mutually agreeable conditions and the assurance is authorized by the committees and hereby made that their best offices and assistance will be given in any matter necessary to effect the co-operation above recommend ed and advised.' ' "'-'--- Mutually agreeable conditions!" Do what they would, the phrasers of the con tract could not keep commercial terms out of what was purely a commercial transaction.' Mutually agreeable condi tions that Is the issue and the only issue of the. Rad-Pop fusionists. . The condi tions may be arranged in such way as to be mutually agreeable to the bargainers. They cannot be made agreeable to the rank and file, to the men whose votes were attempted to be disposed of as so much merchandise, at midnight and with no voice and no consent of theirs. The pie-eaters have drawn the contract, but the honest voter will not ratify it There are certain other conditions in North Carolina that are not agreeable. It is not agreeable to respectable white men that their wives and daughters can not remain at home m safety, that law abiding white men are liable to be drag ged before negro justices, by negro con stables, prosecuted by a negro lawyer for offenses never committed; and fined that these inky wards of Rad-Pop. fusion may tve without wore. These are the dis agreeable conditions that face the white men of a large section of our State, con ditioos that tbe white men of every part win help to remedy, - y :; Although the committees contented themselves witn saying: "the assurance is authorized by tbe committees that their best offices and assistance will be given in any matter necessary to effect the co-operation above recommended and advised," the real meaning is sufficiently plain; the pie-eaters of both sides will be nstructed to apply tbe lash to make the voter stand to the midnight bargain And so with "mutually agreeable condi tions, inscribed on their banner, the trad era rush to the onset White Men Remember.

Whatever else .you may forget fail not to "remember" those act of unadul terated infamy. From what - we can learn the slander is a sweet, morsel to negroes generally in this city and else where. We have not heard of one word of condemnation by a negro, and certain ly no deliverance of anv kind hnj hfen given in denunciation or repudiation of the devilish deed. .

Fire sup posed to be the result of accident. f Raleigh correspondent Charlotte Ob server: It is too funny to hear the Re publican State chairman tell how be man aged tbe Populist State committee two years ago. He is doing business in the same way this year. Somebody started a rumor today that the chairman had or dered 30.000 rings for the noses of Pop ulists. The chairman said with a sweet smile: ' We are not acting on the matter of candidates. We are leaving this to the people. It is with us 'home rule' al ways." This is one of the biggeat jokes of the year, ''he minority Populists con trol their committee and tbe Republicans control tbe minority Populists. Precious little show does "home rule" have. It is a case of government by committees. Wbatistheuse of holding conventions anyway? - V IUw Off th Fly. "I was once speaking at a temperance meeting in Green Bay, " says ex-Governor Peck of Milwaukee, "and in the course of my remarks I looked about for some water. A mug had been placed be side me, and how it could have happen ed at a temperance convention I do not know, but it was a beer mug filled with water. Well, it was a warm day and where there is convention food spread out on a warm day there are likely to be flies. f "There were flies, and one had light ed trustingly on the surface of the wa ter in that mug. ; I saw him as I lifted it and I did the most natural and hu mane thing I could think of blew him off the water. Well, they cheered for five minutes." And to this day I suppose you can't persuade a Green Bay man that any body from Milwaukee can drink a glass of water, even at a temperance convention, ' without first blowing off the foamt?:; Winning race horses are cenerallv bavs. chestnuts or browns, and for everv hundred bays among them there are 60 chestnuts and 30 "browns.
