MIR. MCKINLEY AND CUBA.

Before we begin to set too much
store by the reports that have come
from Canton as to the views of Mr..
Mckinley in regard to the Cuban
question let US examine into them.
Mr.. Mcklnley's policy toward Cuba
Is briefly and tersely summed up in
this statement which the New York
J0WnaI guarantees to be accurate:
"There will not he any meddling
with The Cuban insurrectlo, nor any
tniling with Spain
Now what does that mean? Is not
the statement in essence and substance
declaration that the policy of Cleve
IlndIom will continue to prevail at the
white house? Is it not in the nature
of an assurance that the same "inter-
ets," which Mr.. Cleveland has dis
grICed the American name to pro-
tcct, Will be protected by Mr. Nc
hDuIcy2
If that is not the meaning Of it,
what does 1t mean?
There has been no .'meddlng with
the Cuban lnsurreCtIOn' by Mr.. Cleve-
land, and certainly no "rihing" with
Spain. SO far from "trlning" with the
Spanish government, the Cleveland
secretary of state has, to all intents
and purposes, been engaged in an &C
tive conspiracy with the Spanish min
lister not only against the honor of
the American flag but the rights of
American citizens.
The EMBEDDING" that has occurred
has been in behalf of murder and ma
tlonal dlshonor. The interests that
have been "trlfled' with are those OF
American citizens.
Does Mr.. Mckinley propose to
take up and carry out this disgraceful
policy2
We observe that he refers to .rhe
Cuban instruction" The Republican
platform referred to it as "revolu-
tion," and declared that "rhe govern
ment OF Spain" had "lost control of
Cuba.'
Has Mr.. Mckinley taken the llber
ty of rewriting the platform of his
party?- Atlanta Constitution.

GATGING THE INFLUENCE OF !

\ TALE OF OLD NEW BERNS

Ha,pt,'s Magazine for February
has local interest by reason Of the
fact that II contains story by Mrs.
Sarah Beaumont Kennedy of this city.
The story is entitled The Assembly
Ball. and 1t Is located in New Berne,
\. e., during colonial times. 1t has
as romantic back ground, Tryon'
palace, built by the colonial governor
OF The State, and considered a place of
great magnlhcence in lis day. The
story will therefore be of interest to
North Carolinians especially, though
it possesses other claims TO attention
than historic favor. 1t is very ap-
propriately illustrated by Howard

MIR. BRYAN IN WASHINGTON.

Commenting on the marked atttn-
ton and respect paid to Mr. Bryan by
members Of Congress during his re-
cent visit to Washington, the Kansas
City STIR (Kepublican) very gracefully
says:
The most arden! admirer Of William
!. Bryan, late Democratic candid tie
tor President, could not have dIsurtd
for him more graceful and generous
compliment than that which was pad
him spontaneously by the members OF
the house OF representatives at Wash
lngtOn on the occasion Of his visit t.
congress yesterday. Not only drd the
Democrats gather about HIM to give
expression TO an enthusiastic welcome,
but ding Republicans deserted Their
seats to JON IN the demonstration To
such an extent that business was com
pletcly suspendeded for time. At
the other end of the capitol almost
equal enthusiasm was shown in the
greeting Of senators during the nour
or 50 that Mr.. Bryan sat in the vice
Presidents room. Taking the Incl
dent all in all it implies compliment
that has rarely been equaled in the
annals of Congress. In justice to Mr..
Bryan it must be said that he bore
himself with becoming dignity and re-
ceived the tributes of confidence and
friendship as gracefully as they were
rendered.

ROAD-MAkING IN NORTH CAROLYN.

ROAD-MAkING IN NORTH CAROLINA
The Manufactured ReforA has
frequently noted the fact that the
State of North Carolina has been very
progressive in the movement for good
roads. Prof. J. a. Holmes, State
geologlst, has prepared report on the
subject which shows the money raised
IN North Carolina for road purposes TO
be SIo9, 900. The largest amount
(S56,ooo) is raised by Mecklenburg
county; the next largest (S12, ooo) in
Buncombe, and third SO. 500 in For
syth. The total number of counties
that have adopted road tax is about
thirty. They are working their roads
now by this system either wholly or in
part.
Reports from a number of counties
working COnvlCts on their roads show
that 1t costs less TO work them on the
public roads than It does TO feed them
IN the county jalls. In Wake, for in
stance, II costs twenty and one half
cents; in Mecklenburg, Forsyth, Dur
ham and AlamanCe 1t costs twenty
cents per day per convict to work
them on the public roads. This cost
inCludes board, clothes, medical atten-
ton and salaries of the guards Where
as IN these same counties, where these
prisoners are kept in jail, it costs on
an average OF twenty eight cents per
day per prisoner to support them. The
report shows, furthermore, that the
convlct5 enjoy better health when
working on the public roads than when
IN jail.
The report will be valuable add

ment of con,lcts on the good roads
