It is further said that the Governor will attempt to make the fight on the lease the square issue that he will take the stump himself. The editorial in question says: "Every man Who comes out as a can didate for the Legislature has got to say whether he Is in favor of the lease or against It. He has got to say wheth er he will vote for a law that will com pel the Southern Railroad to pay 10 per cent, for the North Carolina Rail road or give It up. The Seaboard of fered 10 per cent.; the Southern got It for 6V&. The license law which pass ed the House In the last Legislature said to the Southern that they should not operate the North Carolina Rail road without a license, and that they could not get a license until they paid what It was worth. "Let the people see to it that the can didates answer this question: Are you In favor of letting the Southern have this property at 6 per cent, when other people offer 10 per cent? Are you In favor of throwing away out of the State Treasury $140,000 a year for the benefit of the Southern Railroad? "When this next campaign is on and the candidates are out for the Legisla ture, we will see whether the question Is settled. "The Governor simply gave up a law suit which he did not bring, and gave to the Southern a decree which they virtually already had, and by doing It saved big money to the State. There was no surrender about it The whole thing is Just where It has been all the time, that la for the people to decide through the Legislature." V' . ' 1 .

Washington Post Says McKlnley Con tents Himself With Generalities Today's Washington Post says edlto rlally concerning the President's mes sage: "From one point of view the Presi dent's Cuban message is an entirely satisfactory document. Barring one or two features, to which we shall refer hereafter, it is everything that cauld have been reasonably expected. Mr. McKlnley gives us a masterly and graphic picture of the conditions now- prevalent In the unhappy Island. He shows, beyond controversy, that they cannot be tolerated In any scheme of modern civilization, and he leaves us no room to doubt that it is our duty as an enlightened nation to insist upon and. If necessary, to enforce their ter mlnatlen. So far. no one can complain of the President's attitude as indicated by his utterances. He carries with him the approval of all rational and respon sible men In chalenging the barbarism and desolation that reign supreme in Cuba. He says the situation before us with its sinister and abhorrent mean ing, and he commands our sympathies when he says that the limit of endur ance has been reached. But Mr. McKinley disappoints thoughtful men in failing to recom mend a definite and Intelligible method by which that much-desired consum mation may be realized. He mentions in a general way the proposition Spain has made, and says that if the scheme is successful It will accomplish every thing that a civilized nation could rea sonably ask, yet he does not explicitly say that he does notshrdlu vbgkjqbgk say that the scheme should be put to the test, and that we should await the result with patience and good will. Had he done this, we do not doubt that Congress would have sustained him. Had he formulated any plan, peaceful or otherwise, for introducing order into the island and replacing the existing anarchy with a secure and stable government. It is our opinion that the legislative branch would at once have bestowed upon that plan Us enthusiastic sanction and approval. But the President has proposed nothing de finite. He contents himself with glit tering generalities, and leaves the prac tical solution of the problem to the taste and fancy of the Individual." WORDS OF WISDOM. Gen. Glenn's Startling Announcement That He Thinks Spain Has Several Torpedo Boats. Winston Sentinel. Gen. James Glenn, of Greensboro, spent yesterday afternoon in the city. The General recently tendered his ser vices to Gov. Russell in case of trou ble with Spain. He is in favor of peace If it can be secured with honor. Gen. Glenn stated to a reporter last evening that it was understood that Spain has a number of torpedo boats, but he had been advised by a naval officer that these boats, while dangerous In still water, were difficult to manage on troublesome seas. today's Markets.
