ing of the appointment of a negro for
postmaster here, wrote a strong letter
to the Commonwealth in which he con-

Democratic training as to vote for Nc
Kinley last year. He repents of his folly
and asks forgiveness of the whole State
of North Carolina, and promises never
to do so again. He says the President
would not dare make such an appoint
ment up there.
A man who has been a pretty strong
Populist in discussing the present state
of affairs yesterday, expressed himself
as greatly Disguised at the management
of affairs in North Carolina, and espe-

denied the motion for removal.

VOICES OF the PRESS. isss
Recall Certain Facts.
IN. Y. Post.)


Those who expect any great change in
the Cuban situation from the accession of
a Liberal ministry in Spain would do well
to recall certain facts. One is that the
present Cuban rebellion broke out under
a Liberal prime minister-under SagaSta
himself-and that he was doing his best
to put it down with hard hand when he
fell from power in 1895. Another is that
! the reforms" for Cuba again promised
are not likely to appease discomfort now.
after two years fighting, any more than
they did when first offered by Sagasta
three years ago. before there had been
any fighting at all. Nothing showed more
clearly the refractory nature of this in
surrection than the fact that 1t broke out
right on the heels of a vote by the Cortes
of the largest measure of self-government
ever offered by Spain to a colony. Since
then even more extensive concessions in
the line of home rule have been proposed
by the conservative government but have
had no effect in diminishing the intensity
or cruelty of the war in Cuba. That sore,
evidently, cannot now be poulticed by a
grant of autonomy. Furthermore, the
change of political leadership in Spain
cannot have altered the policy which Mr..
Mckinley and his advisers have deter
mined upon in respect to Cuba. That
policy, whatever 1t is, was deliberately
adopted weeks ago, and Gen. Woodford's
instructions were framed. not for this
prime minister or the other. not for con-
sentative or Liberal government as SUCH
They cannot be changed. as indeed. it is
announced from Washington that they
will not be, by Sagastas return to power.

Several days ago three amendments
to the state constitution of New Jersey
were submitted to popular vote. One
of these was to prohibit gambling by
pool selling or in other form; another
was to prevent the appointment during
a recess of the Legislature of a candi
date nominated by the governor and
rejected by the Senate; and the third
was to give women the right to vote
at school meetings. OF the 1867, 029 who
voted at the November election less
than 10000 voted on these amendments
Notwithstanding the gambling interests
endeavored to get out as big a vote in
opposition as possible. 1t was at first
thought all three amendments had
been defeated. Now it is said thai
the activity of the gambling interests
in the cities excited opposition in the
country districts with the result thai
the gambling amendment has bee,
adopted. There never was any doubt
but that the sentiment of the people
of that state is hostile to gambling
but the small vote registered, even il
the amendment secured enough, af
fords little encouragement to the idea
Of charging the referendum.

National and Municipal in New York.

Of the four mayoralty tickets, that
count" in the field in New York two
generally speaking, represent the idea
that national politics can't be III
vorced from municipal, while two
represent the opposite view, in great
err or less degree. General Tracy and
Henry George, respectively. represent
the national Republican and Demo-
cratic parties in the New York city
contest Seth Low represents oppo-
sition to Tammany rule and
nothing more while Mr. Cookers sub
stitute represents Tammany rule and
nothing more nor less.
In his speech accepting the nomina-
ton Henry George said he was a Demo-
crat, adding Il cannot divide into parts
the questions which as citizen have
to deal with" He declared his oppo-
sition to the tariff, to laws restricting
the personal liberty" of the citizens
of New York, and himself to be a Jef
fersonian, Bryan Democrat standing
on the Chicago platform. He declared
that the Croker nominations are not
Democratic and his platform reiterated
those views, accusing the so-called
Democratic organizations in Greater
New York of having deserted the card-
nal principles of Democracy. Nor are
these assertions mere boasting., Henry
George is the typical representative OF
the Organized Democracy and the
Chicago platform in Greater New York.
Attracted to him will be thousands of
the more dangerous because sincere
cranks, socialists and revolutionists in
that great metropolis.
That candidacy will also be a rally
ing point for some of the disgruntled
Tammanyites, who have rebelled at the
arrogant dictation of Croker. The
memory of the $4,000 votes polled by
George under far less favorable cir
cumstances will convince many that he
is formidable factor in the campaign.
Any increase in his vote will be herald
ed by the Bryanites as an increase due
to their propaganda. While that in
crease will help to assure the defeat Of
Tammany it will also assure many Re-
publicans DESTROYS of eliminating ma
tlonal from municipal questions that
1t will be their duty to oppose Bryan
ism by voting the straight Republi-
can ticket. If there could have been
harmony on citizens ticket the
George candidacy might not have cut
much of figure. AS it is the general
impression seems to be that it will and
while weakening Tammany and prob
ably Low will strengthen the Republic
can ticket.
