Radical Ruin.

"God help the country that Is to be
rnled nv such an clement as that, said a
leading member of the Radical par
~. in referring to the Republican Flrsf
Ward Meeting at the City Hall on last
Monday evening. Such conVlctlon' "o
may say, is one that has long been 1en' III
IFS full force, 10y all intelligent men who
have the real and true good of their coun-
try at heart, and, although there is no rem
edy for the fact in the immediate present,
it is at least gratifying to know that the
truth isforcing itself upon some of the mem
bers of the grand party of ruin.
The scene of last Monday night, dis
graceful as it would have been to South
ern Democratic assemblage, or to party
of Southern colored men alone, was yet in
full keeping with the discordant, Infamous
elements which must either rule or ruin.
Because some of the colored men of this
city, and those among the most intelligent
and respected of their class, dared to think
for themselves, and to desire the nomina-
ton Of candidate of their own choice, the
marshaled their hosts for the fight, and the
scene of discord was inaugurated. "a
perfect Babel would hardly express the
first half hour of the Monday night meet
ing "a young hell let loose would more
naturally suggest itself to the mind as one
looked on and saw here and there the lead
ers in the strife men without character
at home or abroad ; who know no God but
themselves, and who are of those who
would Z" rather reign IN hell than serve in
heaven"
Yet this is Rome, that sat upon her
seven hills" &c. Yet this is Wilmington,
one of the oldest settlements upon the At
fantic coast, once represented in her legis-
Iative halls by men of learning, and of
wisdom and patriotism, now represented
(alas for the word by her former slaves
and by aliens who come among us, not
only without characters for good, but
absolutely blackened with evil. Yet this
is the model Republic of the world, and
we are now in the full flush of the model
NIX century OF the future one thing is
sure either the Republic must fall or the
Radical party must sink, and the latter We
firmly believe to be written out in the
short future. The maxim that 1.-The ex-
cesses of parties will ultimately cause their
ruin," is more than applicable to the case
in point, and we look forward with much
of confidence to the speedy dissolution of
the present Radical organization as one of
the certain things of the future. Let our
people but bear little longer.

Political Prescription.

The New York Times, in recent issue,
leader
One of the most satisfactory signs of improving
opinion throughout the south, is the disposition
Of Republicans to expunge from the law and from
the policy of their party all traces of prescription
and political disabilities.
The Times, although often-times we'll
posted, is certainly in gross error here,
for there has never been a period of Re-
publican rule, with us, that has been so
Outrageously proscriptiye as now. A few
men have obtained the control of the entire
party, and the petty leaders throughout
the different cities, towns and townships,
are all dependents of theirs, held together
by the feudalism of office. There is no
employment of any kind, either in the gift
of county, State or municipality. no mat
ter how picayune that employment may
be, which any other than a Radical vote
can obtain. The question Of capability is
entirely set aside and Ignorant negroes or
itinerant white men, with neither ability
to perform properly, nor honesty enough
to work fairly, are installed in Offices of
emolument and trust. Even the very la
borer-the day lahorer-cannOt obtain his
manualemploy unless he shall Lave first Civ
en- in his adherence to the dominant party.
On the contrary, where the coIored popu
lation, as class, are all Radical voters,
they can yet be found in the employ of a!
most every Southern household, and in
every place of business on the streets.
While the negroes of the South receive the
labor and confidence Of the Southern
whites, yet those very whites are proscrib
ed by the party of which that class are the
removal, in the South, of the proscrip-
ton and political disabilities " of which

try by a straight line of wire. This latter
enterprise is entirely of French origin and
was carried on exclusively under French
supervision. 1t is two thousand three
hundred and twenty five miles long from
Brest to St Pierre, and from this latter
place the remaining seven hundred and
twenty-five miles extend from Halifax to
Duxbury 1t was carried ont by the
Great Eastern and follows a higher
plateau through the ocean than does the
British cable. Ii is claimed that this new
cable is superior in strength and durabil-
ity, and some other qualities, to the other
cable, and that these facts alone will make
an advantage of twenty-five per cent. in
the rapidity of communication. The Eu-
ropean terminus is at Brest, in France,
while that on the American side of the
water is at Duxbury, Mass.
The completion of this lire gives us the
third strand now connecting this country
with Europe. and while many advantages
will result to France, far more will fall to
our share A competition in the lines will
PROBABLY soon cause I0tluCtIOH VI ilS
tariffs of charges. and, in the event of a
war with England, the French line would
prove of incalculable advantage to us, and
g.. in regard to France, would the English
cable assist us.
This French cable has been built by a
company and it is stipulated that it shall
touch only French and American shores ;
that the company shall have exclusive con-
troll of the line for twenty years, and that
the charges shall not exceed twenty dollars
for twenty words. Communication on this
new cable has not yet been opened, as a
treaty of reciprocity has not yet been en-
tered into. Possibly the difficulty may be
adjusted soon, but Attorney General Hoar
is Of opinion that it cannot be done until
Congress meets.

Affairs in Cuba seem to be approaching
a crisis, and it is probable that the success
or failure of the Revolutionary party will
be fully established before the close of the
present year. Two expeditions for their
aid, one following close upon the other,
lately started from New York. The first
was captured, but the second. consisting of
two hundred men and p good supply of
arms and ammunition, succeeded in get

The C0Olfe Question.

The Press throughout the country, North
as we'll as South, are at present busily en-
gagged in discussing the proposed intro
duction of Chinese labor into this country,
and the proposition meets with much ap-
proYal in both sections. The imperative
necessity for greater supply of labor in
the South is conceded on every hand and
the introduction of these Coolies seems to
be wished by all, except a few over Jealous
friends of the colored race, who fear that
it may injure the material and political
prospects of the immaculate negro. We
must have more labor, but, whether it
will be wise to fill the void with this
strange Chinese element is matter worthy
OF careful consideration.
The idea that such course would in
jure the negro labor and drive them from
the field, can be easily refuted. and that,
too, by actual figures. It is stated that
there are more than four hundred and
twenty-six million acres of cotton lands
in the South, and that. of this vast area,
less than ne-ffty- eighth part was planted
with cotton last year. Thus, the negro
labor is only sufficient to till Just one fifty
seventh of the arabic cotton lands OF the
South, while the remainder is left entirely
idle. And the present proposition is not
to iniure or to displace in any way the
colored man, but to merely introduce an
other element of labor, whereby the waste
IL % kho l. Aol 4
made profitable. Viewed in that sense, it
can we'll be said that the land is broad
enough and wide enough for all, and fifty
times the number of farm laborers now at
work in the South could find the land to
labor upon.
But, before the first Coolie is brought
into this country, the matter should be
considered long and we'll, and in all its
different bearings. These Chinese are a
strange people are, in reality, our antip-
odes in birth, education, religion and ma
tionality, and might prove rather bane
than blessing. Can they be reconciled to
our mode of life, or we to theirs :?
We know but little of them LESS, as
people, than of any other nation under the
sun. We have been told that there are
some sixty-tiye thousand of them now in
California, and that the mass of them are
temperate and industrious, yet clinging to
their own traditions and isolating them
selves from all other peoples. Weonly know
that China is densely, and the South
sparsely, populated that the former, with
comparatively small area, has four hun
dred and fifty million inhabitants, and
that the waste fields and other lands OF
the South could give employment to nearly
one-fourth of those. Labor will seek its
own level and will regulate its own wages,
and, whether wise or unwise to admit them
among Ms, we here predict that they will
come and that the fertile fields of the
Carolinas will be among the first to find
them labor. A number of planters in
South Carolina are already arranging to
receive them, and we feel that the neces-
sites of our own section will soon bring
them here.

SPARKLING CATAWBA SPRINGS,
Inlu lEfh 1890

July 4Otu, 1905.
Dear Jo~rnat While probably it is too
early to pronounce positively upon the
crop prospect, for much longer con-
tinuance of the present drought will very
seriously cut off the yield throughout the
entire Middl, and Western portions of the
State, still I am glad to say that the farm
ers are very much inspirited ut present.
Everywhere along the route from Will
mington hither the crops were looking
fine, and while not positively suffering for
rain, still it was much needed, and the
continuance of the hot, dry weather will
greatly check their growth and yield. The
refreshing showers which fell in New
Hanover and the lower part of Duplin on
the 9th were most timely, and will be
sufficient, trust, to save the more forward
corn. The extent of the showers was,
however, very limited. From Magnolia to
this point we found much dust, which,
with the heat, rendered travelling very un-
pleasant.
The great frequency with which fine
prospects for abundant haryests are de-
stroyed or injured by drought in the Mid
die portion of this State, would seem to
demand some counteracting influences.
There is much good land along the North
Carolina and Western North Carolina
Railroads from Raleigh to Morganton, and
am satisfied that eight out Of every ten
failures to raise goCd crops result from
want OF rain in July and August. Among
the hills OF this section the crops cannot
stand 10 long dry seasons % they can in
the low country andeT think droughts are
more frequent here than there. The

AFTERNOON SESSION.


French took the floor first at the after
noon session, and said he wanted to see
business expedited. Stated the question
to be the election or appointment of a
committee on credentials.
The Chair ruled that the substitute Of
fered by Miller for the substitute offered
! by French was ont of order.
Miller appealed from the decision Of the
Chair, but before the vote was taken
Arnold called for the Secretary to come
forward and show his face, and asked if he
was ashamed to take his seat.
French wanted to know who would vote
on the question, and said he saw a number
of men on the floor claiming to be dele
gates who actually were not.
Price said that while protests were in
order he would protest against the 'sbig
Ingin" representative (French) from
Rocky Point, Miller protested against
Sweat (colored) from first ward. Big
niger from the country protested against
Miller. Bill Moore protested against the
Chairman from Washington city.
The Chairman arose to address the Con-
vention. Price and Miller would not per-
nit him by their cries of sorder." The
Chairman persisted in his attempt. Price
and Miller denounced him in no measured
terms.
Price demanded that those only who
claimed to be delegates should be allowed
on the stage. Miller backed the demand
French attempted to speak. Bill Moore
and Miller kept their feet, Justify crying to
be heard on points of order.
The Eagles clique moved to adjourn to
10 o'clock Monday morning. Amid much
confusion a few voted aye-the President
announced the motion carried-refused a
call for a division-and he and the Eagles
faction turned and left the stage and
bolted.
Then there was a mighty confusion,
noise and fuss. The Larkins faction feel
ing that they had routed their OPP
ponents crowed for victory. The Secre-
tary remained in his seat after the President
and friends had departed. Price haran-
gued the crowd-called for new organi-
cation, and his motion to elect Bill Moore
President and Bulcken Secretary was car
ried. II is impossible to describe this
scene-it was exciting to the actors-high-
ly lndicrous and amusing to the lockers
on.
Business was then proceeded with more
orderly. A committee consisting of VIM.
Thurber, Aaron Kellogg and VIM. Avant
(all colored) was appointed to examine
credentials.
While the committee retired Price spoke
On the contest and in denunciation of the
"golden clique"

ton. az - |
