NEGRO UPRISING FEARED.
Protest in Fayetteville, W. Va.
Against Hanging.

Fayetteville. w. Va, Aug. pa crowd
OF forty or fifty negroes called a meeting
here yesterday and passed resolutions
against the hanging OF the negro, Jerry
BIown, sentenced TO death for committing
rape, until Albert Viores can be recaptured
and executed. They sent a committee 90
Charleston TO petition the governor. Thera
is some fear of an uprising among the
blacks. who believe that Viores was Lii
Grated because he WAS d white man, that
he did not escape without assistance, and
that the intention of the officersis TO hang
only negroes.
The sheriff has sworn in fifty deputies,
ana they are guarding the jail with Will
chesters. Gov. Atkinson refused 10 CON-
mute his sentence. Browns hanging was
set for today.

The Message In General.

Apart from it's treatment of the
Cuban problem the presidents message
comedies admirably with enlightened
public opinion. Its discussion of the
currency question, while not exhaust
i've, is clear. 1t recognizes the fulfil
ity of attempting to settle off
hand a problem which has en-
gagged for years the ablest econo-
mists without concurrence of expert
opinion. The president holds that if
$9O00 900 Of outstanding credit cur
rency Is to stand on promise of gold
redemption having back of it only $780,
100000 or so in actual gold, then the
executive department of the govern
ment should by all means be clothed
with ample power TO protect that gold
reserve. As means to this end, con-
Sress is asked to enact a law empower
ing the secretary of the treasury to
reissue Cancelled greenbaCks only i'm ex-
change for gold. and another giving
him discretionary authority to issue in
emergencies long or shOrt-term bonds
at a low rate of interest. The further
recommendations that the national
banks be allowed to issue notes to the
face value of the bonds which they
have deposited for circulation; that the
tax on circulating notes he reduced:
that the minimum allowable capital of
national banks be lowered to S25, 900,
and that national banks be required to
redeem their notes in gold are in plain
accord with common sense. To these
recommendations congress ought to re-
spond promptly with the requisite leg
islation.
The brief reference to Hawaii is
nevertheless long enough to answer
completely the contention of those who
allege that the administration cham
pionship of annexation is in obedience
to rash and inconsiderate arth-hunger
After promising a supplementary COM

II is not to be supposed that Napoleon

pleased to discover that the Monroe Doc

to their neiEhbOrs on the European Con-
tnent, and that not even England would
be suffered by us to seize American ter

The President and Cuba.

The presidents treatment of the
Cuban problem is naturally the most
extensive as well as the most interest
ing portion of his message, 1t estab-
fishes in behalf Of his country case
Tor forbearanCe and kindly patience
such as is unique in the history of
nations and It caps this climax of
moderation by recommending an in
definite continuation of forbearanCe
pending the outcome of Srain's death
bed show of penitence and reform.
1t il an exhibition Of long p-s1itforing
kindness such as does infinite credit
to the presidents heart, but one that
despite his somewhat vague intima-
tions of intended frmness in certain
later contingencies raises the inquiry
whether i'm the light Of tn" very facts
to which the message itself CortiGies, it
is not a trine too procrastinatinE.
The presidents argument in opposi-
tlon to recognition Of Cuban baliig"t.
cncy presents no new considerations
and has been answered repeatedly in
detail Apart from the fact that con-
the people. went over all these points
year ago and yet 10y a practically
unanimous vote in both houses de-
Cidcd that a recognition of bellgercncy
was under the circumstances an cSe"u-
tive duty there is in the president :
discussion of this solution "a manifest
dread of consequences which It is be-
licvcd "A majority OF his cDunt.ymen
do not feel i'm equal measure. IF war
with Spain Is to be the dernier resort
either growing out of the right Of
search or by reason Of our direct in
tervention i'm Cuba, it would seem to
matter little by which route it should
he approached. At least one advan-
taEc in favor of belligerency recOgni-
tlon would be that it would give the
Cubans a chance to win their own
struggle before Spain had succeeded
in laying waste to the entire island.
y perusal of this message conveys
the impression that n mere change in
ministry in Madrid has made or is
likely soon to make the broad differ
encc between Hell and Paradise in
Cuba. If it were any man but the
president of the United States who
professed to believe this. we should
say that he was deceving or deceived
In the presidents sincerity there Is
the fullest confidence. But his own
admissions as to facts show the inn
potence of his conclusion. The mes
sage demonstrates between its lines
that Spain has forfeited from this
government as we'll as from civiliza-
tiCn at large all right to further
tolerance in Cuba; every hour of adj
ditional delay in discharging human
itarian duty is a gain for our patience
at the cost Of infinite misery amCro
men and women and little children
whose only crime is that they aspire
to that freedom which our own citizens
seem to enjoy somewhat selfishly.
