THE PASSING OF SHERMAN

The Old Man. Through Secretary of State,
is Never Heard of in these Times of the
Nations Foreign Complications
During all the many complica-
lions one never hears the name
of Secretary Sherman save some
comment on~its omission. The
premier OF the cabinet seems well
side tracked. It is always Assis-
tant Secretary of Stale Day who
was called into conference with
the President when the DeLome
letter was made public. It was
Judge Day who confronted Minis
ter DeLome with the letter, and
it was Judge Day who cabled to
Woodford demanding the recall
OF SPANS representative.
If Secretary Sherman feels any
cbagrin over the treatment which
is accorded him, he has never
spoken Of it. No one has ever
heard him utter any complaint.
In fact, it is widely believed that
Mr.. Sherman realizes his condi-
ton and does not attempt to in
terfere in matters Of. State. His
old conferees in the senate never
enter the State department withs
out calling on him. bat when
they have business to transact
they seek the assistant secre-
tary, so it is said.

Secretary Sherman is now in
his seventy-sixth year. He has
been almost continually in Office
since he was forty years of age.
1t is one of his boasts that since
the Thirty.fourth congress he
has never been out of Office but
one day, and that was at the time
he entered Hayes cabinet. re-
signing his seat in the senate on
March 3, when he did not enter
the cabinet until the 5th, the
fourth being Sunday. In order
to avoid this hiatus on the occas
sion Of his entrance to Mckinley's S
cabinet, he did not resign his seat
in the senate until March 4 sim
ultaneously with his appoint
ment as secretary of State. So
it can be seen from this that the
secretary, aged and infirm as he
is, aud incompetent to perform
the duties of his post, is not
likely to retire to private lite
until actually forced to do so.

Day, in spite of the fact that he
comes from a small town called
Canton, and that his life has
been largely spentin law Office
with limited experience on the
bench, has developed into a diplo.

SENATOR MASON'S OPINION.
NAMES MISSION TO HAVANA
Senator Mason Says the Spaniards
Believe it Unfriendly-T The
Administration Attempted to
Out-Spaniard the Spaniards
and Did Not Take Sufficient
Precautions.

A statement was published in
an afternoon newspaper tosday
that the President had received
conclusive evidence that the ex-
plosion of the Maine was not an
accident, but Spanish plot, and
he was preparing to take 1mme~
diate and summary action. On
inquiry at the White House, the
statement was not confirmed
Several Senators repeated ru.
mors Of a similar character. but
one Of them said he did not be-
lieve the President would take
any hostile action against SPAN.
Asother Senator remarked
that. because of his outspoken
sympathy for Cuba and advocacy
of Intervention, the President
had for some time past treated
him in the coolest manner. Of
course. these Senators know that
no matter what the truth may be,
it is only Congress, and not the
President, who can declare war.
Very few Senators or Represent
atives expressed themselves for
publication .to-day. Senator Ma
son. of Illinois, was a notable ex-
ception, and his remarks, as
herewith given, are breezy and
spicy enough to please the most
sensational.
cit will not be war; said Mr..
Mason. "We will simply pull a
rotten tooth. If it should prove
to have been-the work of an ene-
my, as have always contended,
the freedom of Cuba will come in
short order. Every civilized
power in Europe will give the Un-
tied States Lloral support, for NO
self-respecting nation can counte-
mace such barbaric treachery as
sent that ship to the bottom of the
ocean.
"There we were in condition of
peace, visiting Havana on a
friendly mission and whatever
might bave been the suppressed
feelings of the populace, it was
the duty OF Spain to protect us
from all comers. The Maine was
like strong man asleep in the
house of friends, trusting impll-
city in the protestations, of good
will on the part of those whose
hospitality he was accepting.
s'The disaster to the Maine
could not have come from the In
side. Naval experts declare its inn
possibility. The blow was deal
by an enemy and Spain is respon-
sible for 1t. This government il
responsible, however, in another
way. The Maine was sent ther,
on an alleged friendly mission.
That was as hypocritical a piece
/
of business as DeLome's accept
ance of the White House hospital
lity and his blaekguardism of th'
president.
The administration sIied,' tt
use the language of diplomacy
when it said the Maine was goins
to Havana on friendly mission
That was not its object, and ever,
Iprecaution should have beel
taken. We have endeavored t,
'out-Spaniard' the Spaniard il
following his tactics, and, Will
we have been bowing and scrap
ling and saying nice things witt
our hands on our pistol pocket

like the true Spaniard, used hi.

Raleigh Post.
The following despatch to, and
published by the Chicago Record,
attracted our attention and
brought up memories of the past.
This dispatch is as follows:
"NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, N. C.-To the
Editor: Our public school fund
is invested in North Carolina 4
and 6 per cent. bonds There
has been no loss of public school
funds since 1868,
W. Fl. WORTH,
State Treasurer"
Let us see. In 1868, the date
referred to by Treasurer Worth,
the same party had control of
the affairs Of the State that con-
troll it to-day, When in power
in 1868 SO that party squandered,
wasted. and stole several mil
lions of funds belonging to the
State and the school fund. They
sold the States interest in the
Wilmington and Weldon and
Raleigh and CASTOR railroads, the
income from which was set apart
to the school fund, and wasted
the proceeds of the sale. Cow
Russell was a shining light in
the Republican armament then
having but recently been elected
to the bench, by that party, -as
be is it's leader to-day. The
States stock in the Ncrth Caro-
lima and Atlantic and North Caro-
lima roads would have been sold
then but for the fact that the
people became so outraged at
Republican rule and rascality and
negro government that in 1870
they arose in their might and put
the Democratic party IN control
of the Legislature
After nearly a third of a ecu
tury the Republicans. with this
same Governor Russell in the
lead, aided by such men as Ma
rion Butler, and his associate
place and pelf hunters, regained
control of the State. The first
thing the Governor attempted
was to sell the States interest in
the North Carolina Railroad tc
the Southeru-that corpora tior
which it pleases him and his con.
lfederates to denounce as .'mo.

A WISE REPLY.

Captain Sigrbee, when asked by
correspondent what he tLought
caused the explosion of the Maine,
is reported as answering: s'In
such cases it is best not to think.
1t is best to know. And that re-
quires investigation and time -
Whether Captain Sigsbee said
this or not, it is what he might
and would have said. 1t expresses
the attitude of wise man. If all
the people who have made haste
to tell what they think would wait
until they knew. we should be
spared great deal Of fatiguipg
if not diturbing speculation.
No man whose opinion is worth
anything will express any opinion
without information. The corres-
pondents who profess to find sig
nifcance in the reticence of naval
officers and other responsible men
with regard to the maine disaster
only betray their own readiness to
speak without knowledge. When
an authoritative investigation has
been made, we may learn enough
to form an opinion, or at least make
a guess. Meanwhile we may as
sumo that the more positively an
opinion is expressed, the less it
deserves consideration.
Possibly some distinct informa-
ton may come from Havana be-
fore this paper is printed, but
newspaper readers already know
what value to attach to statements
about Cuba sent out from Key
West, and the wild rumors and
wilder speculations that are float
ing about should not be too readi-
ly credited.

AN EXTENSIVE PASTIME.

Being man whose reputation for truth and veracity is good in his own neighborhcod, a Detrciter who has rs- gently been in the west searching for silver mines is permitted to get this ex- perience before the public:
 Fearing the possibility of being stranded out there, I took along a pho nograph, just as we used to take along a magic lantern years ago to provide against the possibility of having to walk home Way up in the northwest there was an original old fellow, who lived alone and knew as little about the outside world as though it had no existence.
 Try the machine on him, suggss.- ed some fellow at the tavern where l was stopping, and the proposition was heartily accepted. Some Wag who was present callsd a speech into the box, another sang a song and then we unit cd in contributing some very damaging accusations against the hermit, wind ing up with the query: Now will yCu ba good? You old backsliding, bald headed son of a gun!
 While the old chap was out lCOk- ing after his traps we slipped the pho nCgraph into his shanty, concealed ourselves at one end, where VIZ could be an audience while looking through the chinks between the logs, and wait ed. At first he danced around, mopped the perspiration from his brow and 1oked as though he wanted to run. Finally he located the source of the noise, and circled about it like an In dian. He showed evident pleasure at the song, but when the personal abus began he talked back, told tha thing to shut up, gave it two minutes to get out of the place, and then went to shoot ing. He wound up with an axe, and when I asked the fellows an hcur later to chip in fer the bCx they ordered things and had 'em charged to me. - Dstroit Free Press.
