A NORTHERN r1AN'S STATEMENT.
Putting Matters in Their True Light.
{ News and Observer


Rev. d, II. Harnly. A native Of Hi
uois. who for several years was editor
of the Truckers and Planters Journal,
published at Chadbourn, has written a
long article in the Springfield Ull.)
Register about the so-called' 'race-ri-
OTIS" and "revolution'' in North Caro-
lima that ought to be widely read in the
North. 1t will counteract the false
hoods that are being spread broadcast
throughout the States.
After referring to the conditions
that had prevailed in Eastern North
Carolina which had so severely tested
the forbearance of the white people, he
says:
"Of all people North Caro!inians are
the most order-loving and law abiding,
and ordinarily in the past, though,
however humiiating negro domination
through negro occupants i'll Federal,
State. county, township and city offices
might be, they have unresstingly
bowed to the will of the majority. For
the past two years our people have
submitted to this negrozed condition
Of the public service without a single
unlawful act of open violence or even
covert intimidation being recorded"
Mr.. Hartley then gives a pen picture
Of the situation locally, up to the time
| Of the revolution, and the succeeding
| events. He closes thus:
1T may be justice under the consti-
tuition that, by the accident of 400
majority cast by so many ignorant saw
ages. the property rights of IS per
cent. of The tax payers should be
eclipsed and this fair city submerged in
the darkness of negro rule. 1t may be
Constitutional justice that $4,000 saw
ages should drive 5000 intelligent and
| Christian whites from the administra-
ton of public affairs, but it cannot be
equity, and before God it is not right.
The solution of the negro problem is
such an abridgment Of the franchise
as that the power Of his mere numer-
cal strength may be broken, and he be
kept in proper political subsection to
the whites, who alone are competent
to govern The time has come when
the white people Of the North should
be willing to accept Il statement OF
facts from the white people Of the
South. and join hands with them
in an effort to reduce inferior races
to their proper subordinate position
in our civilization and restore the
universal supremacy Of the Anglo
Saxon rule
The fact that the misinformed North
ern papers dodge is this every: North
ern man living in North Carolina, who
is not an active politician, is in hearty
sympathy with the native white popu-
lation and voted the Democratic ticket
in the recent election That fact ought
to be called to the attention of the
whole country.
1t will show that the course of the
Southern people is approved by those
judge fairly.

There Needs be no Fears.
Charlotte ObServer.)

Col. A. X. Mcclure, the editor of
the Philadelphia Times, prints the
following extract from letter which
accomplished and practical colored
citizens of North Carolina'':
This election has eliminated the
negro from politics in North Caro-
lima, and it is pathetic to see what he
has had to suffer in the process. The
best thinking colored men here do
not fear Democratic rule. We have
had it before and it was better than
anything we have had since. The
only thing we fear now, Col. Mcclure,
is the effort of the intense feeling
against the negro that has been
engendered in the recent campaign.
While we feel that the race question
was made SO bitter for the most part
as a means to an end, we fear that so
much momentum has been given to
the spirit of race antagonism that
even the cOunsels of the best white
men would not suffice to keep it from
tinging the measures of the next
Legislature with race hate and race
oppression. We do not object to
white rule, or particularly Democratic
rule, if that rule can be kept along
just and humane lines"
The fear here eXpressed-and we
observe that it is shared by our ex-
cellent contemporary, the Richmond
1imes---is groundless. The paper
just mentioned urges its Democratic
brethren on this side of the State
line .sto be moderate in what they
do and to strive as far as possible to
make reason rather than passion
rule in framing their measures. "
This admonition will be needed.
We think we know enough of the in
huences which will control the next
Legislature to be able to say that
none of the rancOr which marked the
recent campaign will be conveyed to
our statute books, but that the North
Carolina negro has never been treated
better in the past than he will be in
the future in respect of all the rights
which he is entitled to enjoy and the
exercises of which will promote his
prosperity and real happiness. This
Legislature will be composed of the
very best material of the State, and
we do not need to tell our Richmond
friend, and ought not need to tell the
negroes, that Southern men of this
class not only bear no natural enmity
to the negro, but on the contrary
like him very much, except as he is
inspired to bad behavior by white
men worse than himself.
Referring again to the Philadelphia
Times. with which this article open
ed, it is interesting to note in pass
ing that it gives its endorsement te
the methods recently employed il
North Carolina to preserve the civil
cation of cur people and to save the
State from ruin.

Spain Yields.
Charlotte Observer

The Spanish Commissioners at Paris
have accepted the American terms. This
means the REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba, aud
the cession to the United States Of
Porto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine
Islands in consideration of the pay
ment of $50, 100000 by this country.
Nothing now needs settlement except
certain matters of detail. In the ne
gotiations the United States assume
no part of the debt Of Cuba or the Phil
ippines.
Under this arrangement this country
takes Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands into it's possession, while the
future of Cuba is yet to determined.
Porto Rico is at peace, and glad to be
under the wing of the American eagle,
but having successfully fought Spain, a
peace is yet to be conquered in the
Philippines, where the insurgents are
more resentful of American domination
than they were of slavery to Spain.
There is something pathetic in the
attitude of the Spanish Commissioners.
They feel that the terms imposed upon
their country are hard and they ex-
hausted all of their great diplomacy in
the effort to secure a modification of
them. The Americans were, how
| ever, relentless, and the Spaniards
| Yielded because there was nothing else
for them to do. The worlds judgment
upon the terms of peace is yet to be
taken. The uppermost thought in
mind at present is not, what shall we
do with the Philippines? but it relates
| to the fact that with the signing of this
treaty of peace Spain will have parted
with practically the last of her pos
sessions in the Western World. Her
once vast colonial domain has gradually
slipped from under her feet---the result,
of years of cruelty and oppression
There is retributon history.

THE SONG OF THE SHOE.

Let others sing
OF the hat and its wing
And its ribbon Of shade so rare;
Its flowers so bright,
Its veil thin and light,
Half hiding face that is fair.
Be 1t mine to look down
From the addressed crown,
AS poets SO seldom do;
And gaze ut the feet
That walk the cold street,
And sing the sad song of the shoe.
The maid walks on the snow
While the wintry winds blow,
And she enters the church or hall
With sigh and tear;
And she scarcely can bear
The sermon or lecture at all.
Does she know it's a sin
To wear shoes so thin
That her feet are in pain with the cold?
Does she know that fair face
Will soon lose all its grace,
And she will look faded and old?
A score OF sad ills
Bring doctors big bills.
In the chill Of the rain and the sleet:
And half of these ails
OF the wintry gales,
May be traced to the cold. damp feet.
And she who may dare
A thick sole to wear,
When summer days fade from our view
And then over all,
When the snow shall fall,
Wear 5ravely warm felt shoe,
Much comfort will find,
And much peace Of mind,
That will move her to glad thanksgiving;
Shell be healthy and strong.
And her DAYS will be long.

THE VALUE OF THE cORNsTALK.

The Russian government has been
testing the value of the American
cornstalk as an article to be manu-
featured into pith which can be
made into cellulose for packing
the perfection of which cannot be
equaled by any other product. At
the Russian proving grounds at Pei
egion, near St. Petersburg, ga Golfer
dam E feet long, 6 feet deep and 3
feet broad was packed with blocks of
cellulose made from the pith of Indian
cornstalks. A E inch solid shot was
fired through the dam, striking it
about 20 inches from the bottom.
The shot passed clear through both
the iron walls and the cellulose pack
ing. Less than half pound of GEL
lulose was carried out by the projec-
tile. The water compartment of the
dam was filled, giving pressure Of
nearly five feet of water on the per-
forated surface. In just half an hour
a moist spot began to show on the
outer surface of the dam, !n, it was
evident the moisture had come along
the bottom of the packing and not
along the path Of the shot. In four
hours no water had come through the
shots path.
1.-The experiment conclusively dem
ons,rated that ship provided with a
cofferdam packed as was the one used
in the experiment could be perforated
five feet below the water line without
the least danger of the entrance Of
water"

CERVERA'S WAR FORECAST.
He Predicted the Certain Defeat for
Spain.
Washington Dispatch, 18th. }


The Navy Department to-day pub
li>hed, through the office of Naval In
teligence. ''Views of Admiral Ger
vera Regarding the Spanish Navy in
the Late War" Captain Glover, the
chief intelligence officer, explains that
this is a reprint of number Of letters
published in La Epoca. of Madrid, Oh
the 5th of the present month. The
letters are dated from before the war
up to May 5. They were written by
Cervera in protest against Spain
rushing into war in the face Of certain
defeat due to the naval strength of the
United States and the unpreparedness
of the Spanish navy.
Cervera writes: Il ask myself if it
is right for me to keep silent, aud
thereby make myself an accomplice in
adventures which will surely cause the
total ruin of Spain. And for what
purpose? To defend an island which
was ours, but belongs to US no more,
because even if we should not lose it
by right in the war, we have lost it in
fact, and with it all wealth and enor-
nous number of young men, victims Of
the climate and bullets in the defense
Of what is now no more than a rO-
mantle ideal. Furthermore, | believe
that this opinion Of mine should be
known to the Queen, and by the
whole council of ministers. | have
deemed it my duty to express my
opinions to the proper authorities
clearly and without beating about the
bush Now let orders be given to me;
| will carry them out with energy and
decision; | am ready for the worst.'
Captain Clover says Spain had neg
| lected her navy, and Cervera shows it
was imprudent for her to attempt war
| against superior naval power.
