jim YOUNG DID INSPECT. REPORT.


We print elsewhere in to-day's paper
an exact copy of the report, made by
directors James II. Young (col.), and
Chas. Il. Meserve, Of the discharge of
their duty as members of the Inspecting
Committee of the WHITE and colored
departments for the blind white children.
and the negro blind, deaf and dumb chill
drcn. In order that nobody can have
room to doubt the above, we print the re-
port with a fac simile of the signatures
of directors Young and Meserve.
1t may be well to call attention to
two facts in connection with the public
scandal of having negro inspect the
apartments of white blind children
while 1.-The employees were busily enga-
gcd in getting the students ready to de
part for home" 1t was indeed "the
most inopportune time that could posi-
bly, have been selected" though there
would be no opportunc time for such in
spection by negro of white institution.
The facts that need to be emphasized are:
/. That in our original publication we
did not say that Jim Young had ac-
tually made an inspection but quoted the
law showing he had the authority to
do so. The Republican organs howled
about this and quoted Principal Ray as
saying that Young had never made any
inspection. Mr.. Ray never made any
such statement, only saying that he
knew of no inspection by Jim Young
though the lady house-keeper had said
that the negro politician did make an
inspection. The official report, spread
upon the records of the institution settles
the matter without dispute, and proves
all that his paper had at any time stated.
,. We stated that Jim Young was the
Gar of the institution, and that he had
at least as much voice in managing the
affairs of the white blind institution as
any white director This was denied by
the Republicans and their organ printed
Il so-called interview with Principal Ray
in which he was represented as saying.
''In selecting the board OF trustees to
he confirmed in March, 1897, James IL.
Young was selected with the view of hav-
ing colOred representative on the bOard
to give special attention to the cOlored
department."
Upon being asked if he made the above
statement, Mr.. Ray said:
Il did not, l said that James II. Young
was selected by the Governor and con
firmed by the Senate | did not say why
he was selected. | do not know. | was
not consulted about his appointment and
| have never been consulted about The
selection of any member or the board.
If any reasonable man doubts that the
case has not been fully made out, justify
ing verdict of guilty" we have
still further evidence that could be pre-
scented, but we do not wish to embarrasS
any lady employee whose bread and meat
depends upon keeping her position al
the institution.
There is no escape for the Republic
cans!

BEAR THESE FACTS IN MIND.

We print elsewhere the aflidavits of
leading business men of Wilmington that
prove the publication of the Infamous
article in the negro daily. The names
of the men signed to the affidavits will
cause it to be received without question
everywhere in North Carolina.
These affdayits not only show that
the article was published, but that the
editor and travelling representative of
the paper stand high among the Republi-
can leaders in New Hanover county.
The editor was appointed Deputy Regis
ter of Deeds in August, 1897, and his
oath of office is given with the afhdavits.
The travelling representative of the paper
was elected a member of the House of
Representatives in 1896 on the ticket
with Governor Russell, and if. for any
reason, an extra session Of the Legisla-
ture was called, he would come to Raj
eigh as a law-maker.
1t is to the credit Of any Republican
that he repudiates the sentiments of the
vile and villainous editorial. But he
circulates a falsehoOd when he says that
it came from ~ misunderstanding sim
pletOn" 1t came from man thought
worthy by his party to he appointed
Deputy Register of Deeds and was pub
lished in paper partly owned by man
thought worthy to represent the chief
city in the State in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The white people of the State under
stand that it is from negro office-holders
and Republican leaders that these infa-
nous sentiments emanate, and not from
any "simpleton," and it should make
every white man who loves his race
resolve that the negroes in office shall
be retired and the State hencerorth ruled
by white men.
The insult and SANDER will be avenged
at the ballot box in November!

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
SENATOR CHANDELIERS IDEA


From the Concord Evening Monitor
(Senat0r Chambers Paper)
Why is it not possible outcome Of
the Philippine question that the islands
should be turned over to England
What if England were willing to give
us Canada in return for our gift OF the
Philippine conquest? We shall never
know until we try. This may not be the
best solution, but we shall not be III Il
position to make that solution if we re-
turn the islands to Spain. Even the
Herald has advanced far enough to adj
mt that lit is not the best outcome
of the complication" to leave them to the
Government of Spain.
Admitting, as we must, that it would
be breach of faith to the insurgents
to turn them back into Spanish hands,
and that we owe something to England
for her moral support in this war with
Spain, what better, stronger position can
we take than that we will keep the
Philippines. whose control we have won
by force Of arms, and decide later what
their final disposition shall be? Then
If 1t Is for our advantage to turn them
over to England we can ask some cqui-
Ndl'Ht loI the SlII. III our liiihH VI III
EngIand's the islands should remain.
The interests of both in Asia from a
commercial point Of view require that
they should not fall into the hands OF
Il power Of continental Europe If left
to the insurgents or given back to Spain
the>>plottng will Immediately begin for
their possession by the powers of Eu-
rope.
Sooner or later we shall have to assert
ourselves to maintain our trade with
China. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of that en-
pirc and its partition among the powers
of continental Europe will put an end to
our present treaties. The question of
the disposition of the Philippines is
something more to us than the acquiSi-
ton of so much territory. 1t has Il
direct bearing upon our future trade and
commerce on the Pacific. and with the
people of the Asiatic mainland. The
first step, therefore, in arranging the
terms of peace is to insist upon the
present retention of the Philippines by
the United States. We can cross the
next bridge when we come to it.

DELIBERATE AND RESOLVED.
Advice to Democrats at the Beginning
Of the Campaign.
(For the Observer


10 the People OF NOrIn CdfOllhd:
In the political campaign now pending
in our State. let us act with cool dellb-
GRAFTON coupled with memorable resolve.
Men generally lose their Judgment when
they lose their tempers. Doubtless many
trying emergencies will arise but the
good people of North Carolina have ever
proven themselves superior to their enYl-
ronments when occasions were imperative
as evidenced in our eventful past histo-
nv. The situation is reduced TO African
or Caucasian supremacy, brought or
rather forced to the front through the
evil Vaccinations and cupidity of the de-
graded element of the white race, who
painfully conscious of their own defec-
ton sought preferment and emOlument
through the only hopeful channel of sue
cess by an unholy and unnatural ALI
ance with the baser and more vicious
element of their lately enfranchised col
Ored brother.
he negroes as n race should receive
more of our pity than our censure for
they have been made the dupes of bad
men of both cOlors who in their lustful
greed have ridden into place and power
through their unsuspicious suffrage.
The color line never would have been
drawn nau II not Deen Tor the PIE nunt-
err. for as n rule the negroes are kindly
disposed towards the white men, whom
they know to be their best friend as is
well established by the fact that when in
trouble their first appeal is thus directed.
They are dOcile tractable and kind as 4
race. and are badly set down upon by the
shrewd unprincipled men of their own
race. egged on by the still more de-
graded whites.
They las race are less resentful than
the white, more suspicious and more
easily duped, and if the kinuly feelings
which should have ever existed between
the races be dissipated, and contest for
racial supremacy be inaugurated. and
the rancOr of bitter hatred and defeat
be consummated the base white element
of the State should be made to suffer for
all their woes.
The Caucasian will ever be the dom
mating force in all civilized empire, and
to avoid all future friction this inexora-
BILE fact should at once be ineffaceahly
implanted in the brain of ALL Let true
conservatism, and kindly philosophy, be
exercised by all, and the ultimate re
demption of the State will inure to the
benefit of both races.

The Daily Record, the negro organ.
came out from it's new quarters. on
Seventh, between Church and Num-
streets, yesterday afternoon. 1t claims
now that it is a negro paper edited in
a building owned by negroes.
The only article of interest is one
which takes all the point ont of the
resolutions adopted by the Republican
Executive Committee, SO far, at least,
as these went to show that the senti-
ments of the negro editor were not
those of the colorcd people gcnoralr.
The resolutions are printed in full and
there are angry rcfutations of the
charges made.
The editor inquiries. if he was a mis-
chief-making simplcton,' how was il
that he was sent to Washington with
Jockey not long since on mission
that was not essentially that Of sim
pIetOn. He also wants to know where
Jockey got the authority for saying
that the Record would suspend. Then
he says some sharp things about
Jockeys candidacy for judicial honors
and says that his course III assembling
the committee and debating the action
to be taken was from a hankering foI
PopuliSt votes, upon which he will de-
pend in his race for the judgeship.
The whole anmus Of the article in
fact is directed against the Republican
candidate for judge. And the impress
sion that the reader gains from it is
that the action of the Republican exec
utive committee is considered by the
Record as the biggest sort Of n farce,

GOLD FROM KL0NOlkE.
The Roanoke Arrives At Seattle With S2,
 100000 of the Precious Metal.

Seattle, Wash. July 19.-The North American Trading and Transportation conn., pany's steamer Roanoke arrived here to- day from St. Michaels Alaska, with 2l0 passengers and between $1.5OO,000 and g., 100000 worth of gold. Probably 50 per cent of the returning miners have fortunes ay- eraging at least $10,OOO each. This is a list of those having the largest individual amounts:
 William Sloan, s11O,OOO N Berritt. $5o.0oo; Alexander Boudette, s50000; George N. Bol- den, $51 900; H. G. Anderson, S4O000; Frank Conrad, $40 ,000; James Ladd, $40,OOO; Ed ward Monahan, $35,00O L. Spencer, $3o,0Oo; A. D. Gray, $20O 900; Joseph Chronister, $2O,- 900.
 Joaquin Miller, the well known poet, who was among the Roanokes passengers, briefly expresses the general tenor of the stories told by the Roanoke's passengers:
 ''The Klondike mines are certainly the richest ever found on the face of the earth. but this gold is ten-fold harder to get than in any camp have ever seen."
 It is said the shipment of gold by the Roanoke would have been much heay CT had those in the interior not felt some ap- prehension of an attack at sea by Span ish privateer.

GENERAL BROOKE
 AT CHICkAMAUGA

Washington July 19-Major General John R. Brooke is expected to reach Chicka- mauga today and although he was author- ized to use the First and Second divisions of his corps for the Porto Rico campaign it is understood that he was given some discretion in the matter and that some changes may be made The first division will leave the country in very short while. General Ernsts brigade, which has been at Charleston for some days, is ready to embark and General Haines' brigade, consisting of the Third Illinois, Fourth Pennsylvania and Fourth Ohio, approxi- mating 1000 men was ordered today to pro- ceed to Newport News for embarkation. In addition there will also go to Newport News for embarkation four batteries of artillery, consisting of 700 men and 5000 horses and a hospital corps and a. signal corps of 200 men each.
 While it has not been definitely settled, the probability is that the Third brigade, Third division, First corps will be ordered to Newport News for the shipment. The following ships are now at that place Breakwater. sachusetts, Roumania and others are under orders to proceed there.
 A pontoon company in command of Colonel Black has been at Tampa for some time and the understanding is that the men and pontoon apparatus have embarked on the transports.
