Harper's Weekly.
1t was reported the other day that
steps had already been taken to raise
a monument ut Raleigh, North Caro-
lima, to Ensign Bagley, who was killed
in the engagement off Cardenas. That
was case of prompt action, yet there
was evidence the other day that North
Carolina has a long memory for her sons
who have fallen in war. On the 9Th
of May, at Oak Ridge, the students of
Oak Ridge Institute unveiled granite

only monument ever erected to a boy
of the revolutionary times. All the
schools in the county were represented
at the ceremony of unveiling.

TWO ECHOES FROM THE CONVENTION


The readers of this paper know that
it always keeps its face to the future.
1t has no desire in politics except to ad-
vance Democratic principles. 1t believes
that the wisdom of the whole party IS
more to be relied upon than the wisdom
of any few. When the constituted party
authorities write platforms, we approve,
or. If we cannot do that, we yield our
views to the superior wisdom Of the
party. When the party, in convention
assembled, maps ont policy, even If IN
the face Of what we believe to be bet
ter policy, we have never learned any
other sort Of Democracy than to accept
it without question.
1t is not our habit to parade any sur
render OF conviction, to thresh over old
straw, or to open discussions that ought
to be closed. Consistent with this policy,
we have not discussed the pros and cons
of the recent State convention, nor is it
our purpose to do so now. We desire TO
make room for the publication of the fol-
lowing letter written by Hon. James A.
Lockhart, member of the committee on
platform and resolutions, from the Sixth
district in the State convention, the pub
lication of which he and others of the
majority think ought to be made:
Wadesboro, n. c., May %, 1893.
Dear Mr.. Daniels: Allow me to ex-
press the sentiment that the course pur-
sued by you at the State Convention is
deserving of all praise and commenda-
ton. While in committee on platform
you contended heroically, but with en-
tire amiability for your view of the policy
to be pursued by the party, yet, when IN
certain respects you found the majority
against you very considerable, with high
courage and loyal obedience to the ma
jority will, you adjusted yourself to con-
ditions and manfully yielded.
This also applies to Mr.. w. w. kitch-
en- and Mr.. Doughton. Your example IS
a noble one for Democrats, and will have
the most wholesome effect. | congratu-
late You. Sincerely yours,
JAS. A. LOCKHART.

ing at the outset $4,000 men, together
with the prospect that Spain will not
be Influenced by European powers to
abandon her futile struggle, but will
wage wgr until her resources are ex.
hausted, is causing the military au.
thorities considerable anxiety regarding
the sufficiency of the aimed force of the
government for carrying out the re.
sponsibilities which have been under.
taken.
The simple task of freeing Cuba has
been increased through the necessities
arising in the Philippines and through
the probability of being compelled to
maintain an army of occupation in
Cuba several years, until the war is
beginning to assume tremendous
dimensions. If Porto Rico is added to
the scales eventually, as the Philip.
pines were, the magnitude of American
responsibility will be materially in.
creased, and
Further Increase of the Army
will be ompulsory. Many public men
are beginning to express the conviction
that the forces of the United States
will be as difficult to withdraw from
Cuba as those of England have been
from Egypt, although there is no lnodi-
fication up to this time of the resolu.
ton to make Cuba free autonomous
republic. With regard to the Philip
pines and Porto Rico, however, a dispo.
sition is already manifested to regard
them as fruits of victory, and, in view
of the notorious incapacity Of their in.
habitants for self-government, to. take
permanent possession of them and pro-
vide them with complete colonial es-
adjustments. Eventually they may
become in part selt.governing, but the
strong arm Of the United States may
have to be exerted indefinitely to pre-.
serve their peace and prosperity.

o'clock Monday morning from Rio de

The only American warships known
to be on their way north from Rio ia
metro are the Oregon, the Marietta and
the Nictheroy. The Oregon was
last reported officially by Lloyd's at
Bahia, Brazil, on May 8, and
she is believed to have proceeded at
midnight the same date. The distance
from Bahia to Para is about 1900
miles, roughly speaking, and if Lloyd's
report is correct the Oregon and her
consorts have been steaming very
slowly. Other reports have placed the
Oregon at Barbados and even nearer
still to the United States.
