PROF. MESERVE'S MANLY LETTER.

We nublish elsewhere the letter OF
Prof. Charles ii. Meserve, president Oh
Shaw University, resigning his position
ne member of the Board of Trustees
of the Institution for the Deaf, DUMP
and Blind. He has been member Oh
that board for a little more than TWO
wears. and has sought to promote lts
efficient management. Before coming
70 North Carolina he held a responsible
nosition in the Indian schools III the
West. and has deep and abiding IN
terest in the education of the deaf'
dumb and blind, as we'll as in the educa-
ton of those races among whom ne mus
labored and now labors.
When the trustees of the Institution
for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, or
ma iority of them, elected as the cher
financial officer a man who had been
n defaulter while sheriff of Wake county;
removed capable and efficient teachers
and employees to make room for poiltl-
clans without qualifications for the work;
and virtually announced that ''poilucai
pulr' instead of individual efficiency ana
high moral character was the con-
trolling influence in the management
when this scandalous policy was put into
effect we denounced the action in suit
able terms.
No atetmpt has been made to justify
or defend the revolutionary and de-
structiye petty policy adopted by the
trustees, but the little ward heelers who
make up the majority of the board went
around denouncing this paper "as trying
to make political capital for the Demo
cratic party" and seeking to muddy the
waters so that the people would not I'M
derstand the ruinous effect of their ac-
ton. The manly letter of Prof Meserve,
a well-known' Republican. president OF
a college where none but negroes are
admitted, who cannot be accused of
wanting to injure his own party, shows
that our denunciation was none too
severe.
Prof. MeServe has done hlmself credlC
in this manly and temperate reputation
of those whose highest notion of public
service is to slice out pie for heelers. He
goes on record as saying that the policy
inaugurated sis positively detrimental to
the highest good of both the institution
and the State These are plain words.
Coming from a Republican, who would
commend his party associates If he
could honorably do so, show that the
spirit manifested is one that every good
citizen ought to rebuke.

TRYING TO DODGE.

| There was no suggestion of the an
nexation of Hawaii during the campaign.
The Republican platform virtually de-
clared for maintaining the present status
and against annexation in these words:
ssThe Hawaiian Islands should be
controlled by the United States, and
no foreign power should be permitted
| to interfere with them"
There was no thought of annexation
in this mind when MIR. Mckinley was in
augurated, for in his inaugural message
| he said:
1--WE must avoid the temptation of
territorial aggression.
"A grave peril 10 the Republic
| would be a citizenship too ignorant
| to understand or too vicious to ap-
| preciate the great value and bene-
icence of our institutions and laws"
| After the agitation of the question
which followed the withdrawal of the
Harrison treaty by Cleveland, the present
Secretary of State, willy John Sherman,
published his book of "Recollections."
| He was fresh from heated debate on
annexation, and coolly and deliberately
wrote in his book:
II hope that our people will be con-
| tent with internal growth and avoid
| the complications of foreign acquisi-
tons. Our family of States is al
| ready large enough to create en-
| barrassment in the Senate, and a
| Republic should not hold dependent
| provinces or possessions. Every new
| acquisition will create embarrass-
| ments. The Union already embraces
| discordant elements enough without
adding others. If my life is prolonged
| | will do all / can to add to the
strength and prosperity Of the United
| States, but nothing to extend its
| limits or to add new dangers by &C
| QUESTION of foreign territory"
| Why this sudden change of front on
the part Of Mckinley and Sherman !?
They are praying for anything-even for
the mountains to hide them-to escape
the wrath Of the people for the failure
not touch the currency question, upon
| which Mckinley was elected. The
new tariff, tainted with trust methods,
carries increased burdens to taxpayers,
and nothing else.
| There is no escape except in lodging
real questions that affect American citi-
zens and in beating the tom-toms and
raising great hullabaloo about the
| Sandwich islands.
And that pleases the Sugar Trust!

A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
laims to be a Benefactol to Weakened

Mankind.
There is always more or less suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so overhows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
iscovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich.
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scriptiOn which will cure them of anv
Orm of nervous debility; relieves them of
ii the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigOr, As
1t costs nothing to try the experiment it
ould seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
eeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence of untold misery. As the
remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
storing to men the strength they need. il
would seem that all men suffering with
any form Of nervous weakness ought to
write for such remedy at once. A re-
quest to FL. @. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
u =, Mich, stating that you are not send
ing for the prescription out Of idle curl
oslty, but that you wish to make use of
the medicine by giving it trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
to where information came FROM
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut IS out and send to Mr..
dds that he may know how you came to
write him.

THE SUGAR TRUST AND ANNEXATION,

"Our party is doomed unless we can
interest our people in foreign measures y
said a we'll known Republican few
days ago.
1t is in the hope of interesting the
people in Hawaii rather than taxes and
currency that has led the Republican
leaders to spring the scheme of anneXa-
tion upon the country at this time. There
is another reason; but that does not af-
feet the politicians as much as the one
above given, though it is the one that
converted Sherman and Hanna and
other such leaders. The other reason is
thus given in a special from Washington
to the New York World:
1.-THE whole question of the Ha-
waiian annexation movement has
risen and fallen simultaneously with
the question of the sugar schedules"
In these words Senator Lindsay,
of Kentucky, in statement to
World correspondent tonight, struck
the keynote of the Hawaiian situa-
ton, as he and many other close OBJ
servers look at it.
To show the close connection be-
tween the treaty and the sugar sched-
ule, Senator Lindsay said: Before
the Mckinley bill was framed there
was a tax of two cents a pound on
sugar which benefited the Ha-
waiian product for the reason that
Hawaiian sugar was admitted free.
As long as the sugar interests got
the benefit Of this tax without paying
any of it there was nothing said
about annexation.
when the Mckinley bill was
passed and a bounty was put upon
cur own sugars, which put the Ha-
waiian article at a great disadvan-
tage, the sugar interests got up a
revolution and asked for immediate
annexation.
This treaty was afterwards with
drawn by Mr. Cleveland. Later, when
the Wilson bill was passed and du-
ty of something like 40 per cent was
put on all foreign sugars, with the ex-
ception of Hawaiian sugar, there WAS
nothing more said about annexation"
Now that higher duty is to be
put on foreign sugars and the Sen
ate committee has recommended the
abrogation of the treaty whereby
Hawaiian sugar now enters free, we
have another dash for annexation.
These facts may be only con'lci-
dences, but they will form basis for
very vicious debate if the treaty is
sent in at this time"
As the days go by the hand of the
Havemeyers will be seen in the anrexa-
ton treaty. They helped to elect Me-
Kinley and he will not forget to return
favors He has been persuaded that a
radical lingo foreign policy was neces'
sary to save his party. The sugar trust
thus appeals to his party love and am
bition for reelection to get what they
want. This talk about Hawaii will defer
the Cuban questionable very thing the
money power wants. 1t will also, so Me-
Kinley thinks, drown the cry for silver
and make people forget the heavy taxes
imposed in the new tariff bill.
The people have asked for bread.
The Republicans offer them a stone
They will not be satisfied with annexa'
lion of troubles (for that's what it means)
when they cannot get work to do. ant
