The rebuke given by Mr.
Bryan to those who hissed
Senator Wellington was
timely,and from the way Mr.
Uryan was received, was ef
fectual. Lord Roberts claims the
Transvaal for England and
annexes all the Boers. The
burghers are still fighting as
bravely as ever. A supply
train was destroyed a few
days ago by these brave fel
lows. Advertisers will do well to
note the superior advantages
to be gained in advertising
in a morning aper. The

what kind of a cordial wel

certainly welcome the day
when he takes his departure."
WHO IS TO BLAME?
There is no race issue in
North Carolina. That was
Fettled in August. There is
a Presidential issue. Many
questions enter into it One

There are such postmasters
now; there is such a collector

is elected there will be others
for four jears to come; if Bry

none. Which shall receive

much as they like about fraud
and illegal methods and race

will see to it that McKinley
shall not carry North Caroli

there is a race issue in North
Carolina, who raised it and
who is to blame for it? Let the
registration laws be faithful

If there are no fraudulent

will not carry North Carolina
and she will contribute her

P4 ARRANT HYPOCRICY."
Hon. Carl Shurz calls the
viie uarusan euon 01 me

8ecretary of tbe Treasury,
Hon. Lyman J. Gage, to
aiarm the uusiness men 01 tuo

country by proclaiming that
Mr. Bryan, if elected, will
have the power, and exercise
it, to have his Secretary of
the Treasury pay all daily
k,jvimi"c"1'
1 nun n 1 1 "' ut ima
Nrrmrrer
and so, he says,
bring ruin upon the country,
"arrant hypocracy."
The phrase well describes
the action of Gage. His ac
tion is "arrant hypocracy"
and he and his aiders and ?K
abetters are arrant hypocrite;
and should receive the con
tempt which all honorable
people have for such charac- J
ters. I
To convince any just and
candid mind that the above
is true, it is needful only to
remember that Gage and his
associates in knavery recently
proclaimed that the gold
standard is absolutely fixed
for a number of years to come,
which every intelligent per
son knows to be so. This re
cent, statement of Gage is
only an attempt to divert at
tention from the main issue,
and, by alarming business
men and property owners, to
induce them to vote against
Mj. Bryan. Gage knows that
he is a hypocrite aud that
this statement is an absolute
falsehood.
Besides, if Gage and his
associates in hypocracy de
sire, McKinley can call Con
gress together and fix the mat
ter, so nothing can be done
by the executive. Now let
them do this, if they fear
that Mr. Bryan will bo elect
ed and do as Gage , says he
can and will. If McKinley
fails to do this, it will be ap
parent that Gage is a falser
hearted knave, and that he
has made "his recent state
ment merely for electioneer
ing effect.
Trade And He
The fallacy of the theory that
trade follows the flag hai been ex
posed often, but the reports of
Porto Rico's commerce for the
last fiscal year give fresh and in
teresting evidenco on this point.
. . . .
rorto Kico lias been absolutely
under our control for twv years
and . being so near to us it would
seem, according to "flag" theory,
that no other nation could possi
bly have made any headway withr
' - - - 1 m, .
its trade on that island. ' r
But the official reports, show
that during the.12 mouths ended
June SOJast, Germany's imports
from Porto- Rico increased $100,
000 and (what is far more import
ant) -her exports to Porto . Rico
during the period increased $1,000,
000. "
With our flag over the country
all the the time Germauy's trade
there increased much faster than
our own. -
This fact becomes all the more
discreditable $0 us when we consi
der that our export trade general
ly increased enormously last year
and yet we permitted Germany to
come from away across " the seas
and increase her sales in Porto
Rico, which lies right at our door
and belongs to us, to the extent offers
$1,000,000 more than they were be
fore we acquired the island.
" Our poiicy in Porto Rico has re
versed trade and flag theory. In
this instance the flag seems to
have driven trade off.
And if we depend upon the flag
to bring us trade ; if we rely upon
conquest and imperialism to ex-
tjnd our commerce we shall have
more illustrations of the follv of
such a course lik'e the one Porto
Rico has given us by increasing
her orders for German goods.-A t

Thinks Bryan Will Carry New York and Be
Elected.
Hon. George D. Wise is back
from his vacation. He spent
some time in Nova Scotia, where
he met Bishop Jagger, and Bishop
Kipsolving, of Texes.
Captain Wise spent some time
in New York on his return home.
He said to a Times reporter last
night; "I firmly believe Bryan
will be elected President. Four
years ago when Ijwas in New York
all the talk was in favor of Mc
Kinley. 1 was surprised to learn
this week .f the remarkable
changes 'that have come about. It
is Bryan now. The people realizu
that free silver is a dead issue.
Probably 84 per cent, of the gold

Could Have Sunk the New York.
wjort. R. I Special. August 31, to Phila
delphia Jiorth American.
The big cruiser 3Tew York, "the
llasishii) of the North Atlantic
squadron, could have been sunk
tonig-lit as she lay at anchor in
the waters of t lie Narragansett
Bay from a torpedo fired at her by
the submarine boat Holland. Not
only would the New York have
suffered but the tug Leyden would
have gono to the botton also.
Rutjt was all practice, a night
attack, and it was, most success
ful, proving thatthe Holland boat
is a valuable. part of the United
States navy. 1
After dark the torpedo boats
Morris, Rogers and Holland were
sent outside the break water, soon
to be followed by the Leyden, the
last named taking up a position
at the entrance of the harbor. As
the others made the attack an at
tempt was to be made by the , Ley
den te pick thsm out with search
lights. So far as the torpedo boats
were concerned it was successful,
they being found at will, but with
the Holland it was a different
matter, and after she had plung
ed under the" water she was not
seen again until she was found al
her dock when the Leyden went
in. . '
The crew of the - Holland say
thatthe deck of the wonderful
craft was dry all the1 time they
were under water. The Holland
approached near enough to the
Leyden. to fire a torpedo, and then
turned, crossed the bay and went
within a short distant of the New
York without detection. 1 The
boat was operated by a full naval
crew in charge of Lieutenant Cald
well. Naval officers are more thau
pleased with her performance.
