MONDAY, MAY 21. ! I 7 THE ASIIEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN. BOER EliVQYS' RECEPTION BY . ADSSItUSTRATIQt! A Concerted Attempt To Be- !e Them. - PEACE COMMISSIONERS BAID TO LAND HERE WITH A CHILD LIKE FAITH". Washington, D. C, May ' 21. Just whose hand Is pulling the string It is Impossible' to say, but it is certain that " a concerted attempt is being made hy the administration men to belittle the coming of the Boer peace delegates to the United States. For the last few days lnsplrd statements have been giv en to the press associations practically warning the delegates against ap pealing for popular sympathy. At first these paragraphs consisted of a friendly admonition, expressing the hope that the delegates would not per il it themselves to be led by wicked Democrats into doing something or other which would prevent their be ing "unofficially" received, and which would neutralize the effects of their trip. It was added, artlessly, that of course they could only be received "un. officially." A day or two later the administra tion saw a great light and declared it self willing to receive them "officially,". provided they did not engage in ap peals to the people, which 'would, of course, be undiplomatic and would pre vent the United States from treating them with the courtesy due to a friendly power. All this, be it under stood, while the administration is committed, to Great Britain against the lightest action in favor of the gallant little reDublics. In the opinion of most Deople here such talk much resembles a sort of political bunco game. . . fow another1 plan has been tried. Alleged "Boer sympathizers" will ad vise the delegates not to make a form al appeal for the intervention or the mediation of the United States, be cause It is certain to be denied; but privately and unofficially to ask the president to intercede with Great Britain In their behalf outside of the regular diplomatic channels and to urge in an unofficial manner that the terms of peace be arranged by the ar bitratlon of a friendly power. It is to be urged that their experience in Eu rope with the continental governments must have convinced them that all formal negotiations in their behalf must certainly fall, and that their only hope of securing a modification of the demands of Great Britain is by the use of indirect private pressure upon Queen Victoria and Lord Salisbury. It will also be explained to them that the adoption by our congress of a resolu tion of sympathy with the Boers would oisqualify the United States from act ing as a mediator In the manner pro posed, because we must remain strict ly neutral if we expect to exercise any influence with Great Britain. A resold tlon of sympathy would be very often' eive to the British government. 1 In ehort, they will be told to trust the president and make no appeal to the people which might aid the Demo crats. In return Secretary Hay will Rive them the glad hand and the smil lng face and nothing more. Irrespective of the merits of their cause, the errand of these simple burghers to America Is a hopeless one They probably are aulte unaware of the practical difference between sympathetic people and a government held by the most binding engagements to their enemy. If they fancy public opinion can break the grip of England on Mr. McKinley, they should be told c the Hay-Pauncefote treaty scheme to surrender our canal rights to the sovereignty of Great Britain. , President Kruger's peace commis sioners are .said to land upon our shores full of childlike faith In the willingness and ability of the United States to tell England that h"i bloody hand must be stayed, and compel' her to grant the Transvaal and Free State an honorable peace with independ ence. They will soon learn the futll itv of these ideas. Letters, alleged to be from Holland state that the commissioners have been encouraged to come to the United States by prominent Democratic lead ers In the United States, who have given them assurances that if Mr Bryan is elected he will intervene in the behalf of the Boers. It is not m believed that Colonel Bryan has given any promises of intervention. It would be very unlike him to do so. He may have told people U.at if he were presi dent he would use his bfrst endeavors to restore peace nd preserve the au tonomy of the South African republics, but he certainly would not make any such rash pledges as are described The Republicans, however, ar? trying to convince the ccuntry tnat tlrs U something In this aiory, because tiuy ure unwilling, to credit the pepla with any sympathy wlih the Boers that cr.nnot be measured by votes. It i probable that titter the commi9tlonrs have exhausted their Influence with the present administration and found . it false, they" may make an apisil to tl.c people of the United States to elect to the presidency some one who has more sympathy with them, i Tni only ouwtlon now is low long Savoury Hay will be able to "Jolly" them into ketplng silent. . "CRITTENDEfif ARROTT." GERMANS PROTECT AMERICANS. London, May II.

CHANGELESS CHANGELING From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. ; "Guess I must have been changed in the cradle." ,','Wh5,r ' 7 '. , ' . -, . . V: : "I've never had any change since." The Amendment. From the Washington Gazette-Mes- benger. Yve were no little pained when un id colore J man, one whom we nie knuun for years, ana for whom now cUiiuuood we have had and now do have tne protoundest respect, met v ou me street aud said: "Do ou Kuow iiiere m no faml.y of wnue pejplo in the town thui I huve loved mora tha.i yours, and I have been pained to hear read some or the articles thai hav- ap peared in the Gazette-Messenger ubui tuu negro since this amennen. ques tion has been in agitation, v.'hy .. you so harsh and bltteiT' Tito worn of our old colored friend, and we aro glad we can call him friend, pat us to thinking, and we called to mind the best we could the various articles we had recently' written on the amend ment, and must say if any of them a.e harsh and bitter, they' were not pen ned in that splrlt.No man who has been raised as we have intimately associa ted on our grandfather's farm with the old negro of ante beilum dys, couid ever be harsh or bitter to the negro race. ' No man who remembers the de votion of the negro slaves to the white women and children of the south dur ing the war between the states could have any other than kind feeling -t to wards the black race.v But as true as this is God Almighty has implanted Into the breast of every white man ft prejudge asa.ni; man with the biacK skin, aud these two will n6t atmiate m buckiy auy more than oil will mix with water. But that, does not prevent the white men from feeling kindly towards the negro and from being willing to help him along. Another thing that would pre vent us from being needlessly harsh or offensive to the colored race is, the race Is not in a position to resent at tacks. , But In advocating the adoption of the amendment we are dealing with a condition. Negro suffrage has been a curse to the south a curse to the black man as well as the white man. "'he time to remove It has come, and the sooner it is accomplished the better. Such a consummation is in the interest of both races, for it Is In the iterest of peace, pure electors and good gov ernment. In a recent lssua of Lealli's Weekly Senator Ti'liran reviews th horrom of negro carpet bag rulo jn South Carolina, and, in his blunt way eays that white supremacy was ob' talned by bulldozing and ballot box stuffing, r2' finally the whites' adopt ed a constitutional amendment, dis franchising the negro, and the good results are apparent. "South Carolina now leads the south," says he, "in ed ucation and manufactures. Its credit is such that tts 4Vi per cent, bonds are selling at 120. Its negro population is as happy and contented and prosper ous as that in any other state in the union." But we want to say to our old friend, and as for that the colored people there is no menace to the negro in the movement now going on to eliminate the Ignorant and mischievous black voter from our politics. He will still have the protection of the law. H will be permitted to prosper in his way ana accumulate property, and pursue happiness. Moreover the inducements will be held out to him to qualify him self for the highest duties of citizen' ship, and as he shows himself quali nea ne win be permitted to exercise the right of franchise. MODERN. METHODS OF NAVAL CONSTRUCTION KEAR ADMIRAL AHMED PASHA'S MISSION HERE. i . New York, May 21. Rear Admiral Ahmed Pasha,, whd arrived at this port rrtaay night on bonrd the steau.ihip Augusta victoria, says his r..lssiou to this country had no connection with any work of alplomacy. Instead, the purpose of his mission, he said, wa to inspect American warships and methods of naval and ordnancs con tructlon, with a possible view of pur chasing, a cruiser for the Turkish gov ernment. In speaking of the report that he had any proposals to make to this country concerning the indemnity claimed, by the United - States from Turkey; because of the Injuries suffered missionaries during the Armenian troubles, he said to a Tribune re porter: "My business Is that of an engineer, not of a diplomat.. Of diplomatic reia tions, tnererore, I have no right to speak. That falls to the duty of our Turkish minister at Washington. As yet I am waiting instructions from the sublime porte. "From what I could learn of the de sires of the sultan In conversation with him, he is anxious to increase the prowess of his navy. I will not give the reasons, ,. I will not say whether 'we fear Russia or England or any oth er country, but at any rate we see that our navy must be put on a basts with western countries. rom what we have seen and learn ed of the American navy, it seemed that here could be no better place to learn modern methods of construction than in America. Again, it la a neu tral country, . one which would not view such a visit with suspicion. was selected for the mission because I am the englneer-ln-chief of the Tur klsh navy. "I shall doubtless visit the different naval stations of this country; perhaps go as far as San Francisco, but will a-tVe special attention to the navy yards at Brooklyn and Newport New When I have reported to the sublime porte the result of my study, then may make some purchases."

We see every day too hiany people whose faces plainly show that there Is something radically wrong. . i . - We want all of our fellow-citizens to know of our splendid blood purifier and blood maker. We refer to Vinol. - ' Vinol, as we have before stated, Is a purely scientific preparation. ' v Vinol owes its virtue to the facts that it contains in a highly concen traced state the active curative principles, taken from thelivers of live cods the same elements that formerly were found In cod-liver oil, and which made it famous. Vinol does not contain the crease or fat that characterized cod-liver oil and made it in many cases worthless. Vinol acts upon every one of the great vital organs, and by invigorat ing and giving them strength, enables them to properly perform their func tions. Vinol's effect on the stomach is mar velous. It tones tip this, the greatest of the organs of the body, and enables it to obtain from the food which is taken into it the necessary elements to create flesh and muscle tissue, bone structure and pure, rich, red blood. We are in receipt of a letter from a Savation Army woman which read as 10110"""$ ! ' ' I took Vinol after a bad attack of grippe, and so much good did it do ma that 1 persuaded my sister to take H. She was all tired out. Had no appe tite and her blood was very poor. It did her as much good as it did me." Hktsy Iubershaw, 718 River at, Fall River, Mass. Won't you please come in and see us? We are always glad to extol the merits of Vinol. We will give you b'ack your money if you don't find Vinol will do all we claim it will. Could any one do more for you?
