The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-05-16

The Secretary of State says that the
Spanish government has acted very
handsomely in yielding to the request of
the United States to suspend judgment
in case of the crew of the schooner Com
petitor until he can have an opportunity
to submit reasons why the treaty stipu-
lations have been violated by their trial
by court martial. In fact, every request
and suggestion that has yet been made
by the United States to the government
of Spain has received the greatest con-
sideration, and although the Spanish
press and a portion of the people have
made hostile demonstrations toward this
country, the ministry has done every
thing possible to promote friendly feel
ings. On the other hand, the violation
of the neutrality laws by citizens of the
United States has been frequent and our
courts have not yet been able to convict
single offender. Nor have the officers Of
the United States been able to prevent
the sailing of vessels laden with arms and
ammunition which have been reported
by the Spanish minister and consuls in
this country as carrying contraband of
war. Every day or two some vessel lands
in Cuba with supplies for the insurgents
from the United States, and, although
the President and Secretary of State
have issued the most rigid instructions,
local officials have shown themselves
either incompetent or unwilling to carry
them out. Therefore, if there is trouble
between the two countries it will be our
fault,

THE correspondents
Spain Acts Con- and sensation mon
slderately' gers of the daily pa
pers stirred up considerable excitement
last week over the action Of the Cub.n
authorities in court martialiug the cap
tured crew of the American schooner,
Competitor. engaged in the service of
the Cuban insurrectionists. The pros
ecutor asked that the death sentence be
imposed on the prisoners. The court,
however, adjourned without imposing
the sentence. Secretary Olney took the
case in hand at once and no time was
lost in laying before the Madrid author
tiles cogent reasons why sentence should
be deferred. Considerable anxiety as to
the result was felt and the possibility OF
an outbreak with Spain was feared.
This possibility was worked for all that
was in it by the correspondents. The
anxiety was at once allayed by the con,
cession of Spain to the request OF the
United States.

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS.

Mrs. Hannibal Williams, who so de-
lighted two Durham audiences, was
aboard the train yesterday morning
for Raleigh She has many friends
in Durham.
Willis Grimes, colored citizen out
in Patterson township, lost his mule
by lightning a few days ago Satur-
day he was around soliciting contribu-
tions to aid him in the purchase of
another. This people have been so
much plugged that it is hard to get
them to contribute to a worthy object.
It has grown to be a sore subject.
Robert Curtis, of Oak Grove town
ship, Durham county, had, on the oath
Of April, planted out 1000 tobacco
plants Robert is a colored man and
a successful farmer, and while in this
country this planting looks early, he
viii doubtless come out all right, and
from this planting raise some fine to-
bacco. He is evidently an. early bird
for this section, and the question re-
mains whether he will catch the
worms, or the worms catch the to-
bacco.
The question arises in many Repub-
lican minds as TO the difference be-
tween instructions for Dockery or Set
tie. Was such bossism ever tolerated
by respectable colored men, much less
the few whit men who were
there and participating? When
it was proposed TO instruct
for Dockery, the self-constitut-
ed chairman said, mo, you can't
tie my hands" But in the next breath
he had q resolution passed tieing the
hands of the Congressional delegates.
What do they think of this?

Walls Walla Statesman: A prominent
farmer told US Yesterday that within the
last week five worthy and industrious
young men came to him and offered to
work for 5ocents day and board them
selves. He gave them work and they
are now laboring under the terms they
proposed. These yourg men stated that
they had striven in vain to get work in
the harvest fields. and that they were
forced to do something 10 earn bare
subsistence.
This is a striking example of what our
gold standard policy has brought upon
our people. Continual contraction OF the
currency inevitably results in the con-
traction OF prices and wages. Our gold
advocates would tell US that the so cents
received as wages to day will buy as much
as one dollar few years ago. but this is
poor consolation to the young man who
still has to pay for his board at less than
the old rates.
