of the Spanish merchantmen OFF the Flori-

The right of seizure OF the Buena Ven
tura, however, is moi questioned by the ad-
ministration, since Spain herself accepted
our ultimatum as declaration of war.

Gals under the present regime. The No

thing from which no town in the State

II Republican is President. And if the

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE MISTAKES OF A PARTISAN
PRESIDENT.
New York journal.

New Ofk JOURNAL.
President McKinleys course in taking
the stump for the Republican party in
several Western States will not re-
suit in the advantage to his party which
he hoped.
1t is no overstatement to say that
his Western tour has been in every
sense of the phrase an electi0neering de-
vice. lie has not been content with
that advantage which always results to
q party by the exhibition to the voters
of Il President of it's political faith. He
has not, like some of his predecessors,
confined himself in his public utterances
to graceful speeches incapable Of partisan
construction. Instead he has made adj
dresses which have been frankly politi-
CAL defending and eulogizing his admin
istration on all points of political at
tack.
He has taken with him on his junket
four Cabinet officers, who, IN their turn,
have been quite as frankly partisan.
That which is more discreditable to the
President than this, however, is that
he should have taken advantage of his
power to force Mr.. Bryan's complete re-
linquishment of all political activity at
the very time when this Presidential tour
is in progress.
The friends Of Mr.. Bryan, the men who
with him welded 100000 voters into a
solid phalanX two years ago, have been
anxious for his leadership I'm this falls
campaigns. He is a soldier soldier,
indeed, to whom Mckinley denied any
opportunity to win distinctiOn-but still
soldier from whom not one word of
complaint. or criticism, has come since
he donned the uniform. That Nebraska
should be carried by the Democrats is
of Importance to Colonel Bryan and the
cause he represents.
Was it, then, the part or political de-
cency, was it compatible with the lofti-
ness of character which should attach to
the incumbent Of the Presidential office.
that the President should order Colonel
Bryan to his camp in Florida and
straightway go to stump Nebraska
against him?
President McIIinley's obvious effort to
keep Mr.. Bryan out of the political
field was Indicative of small and petty
mind. His own invasion of the field
which he closed to his adversary is a
blot Oh the Presidency.

FUSION AND PROGRESS.

The Progressive Farmer declares that
under Fusion rule North Carolina IS
making unheard-of progress. and points
ont in support of its contention that
many new houses are being built, and
that more plug tobacco was manufactut-
ed last year than ever before. 1t is true
that people must have new houses TO
live in when the old ones decay, ana
that whether the negro or the white
man rule. Some of them will also chew
tobacco. But the towns it selected as
showing the building and the manufac-
turing are not at present under negro
rule. whatever the Fusionists may have
in store for them hereafter
81 The State has been making progress
in certain sections. But whatever has
been done has been in spite of Fusion
incompetency. laundering, extravaganza
and exaltation of the negro and not
on account of them. That the
state of affairs in the East is blighting
the prospects of that section is attested
by the declaration of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce and by the bust
ness men of every town in that section.
That capitalists have gone there to in
vest in enterprises and have refused, af-
ter seeing the orgie of crime and law
lcssness to which the towns are subject
ed under the negro and the Fusionlst,
is attested over the signature of the
capitalists themselves. In many in
stances farmers have been unable to Sc
cure help in gathering their crops be-
cause the negroes have become insolent
and worthless
That the State has made any progress
at all is a proof of what will be done
when the State government is restored
to clean and competent hands. An era
of rapid development awaits us, but it
will not come until we can offer to in
vestors some better protection of life.
property and virtue than negro police
and negro legislators, a protection which

The triumph of the fusion hooters AT
the polls in November would mean the
loss of millions of dollars in productive
enterprises within the next few years
enterprises that would help every sec.
ton and every citizen. Already the in
flux of capital, which had begun under
the honest and safe administration of thu
Democratic party has been checked and
is seeking other fields for investment
In its stead the Fusionists have nothing
better to offer than a horde of ignorant
and semi-civilized negroes from Virgins
and South Carolina, who are waiting fol
the triumph of Fusion to descend upor
the State. Such development and pro
gress as these prospective ''citizens" vii
bring to us is all that the negro Flu
sionists have to offer.

THE LINE OF CLEAVAGE.

The fusion heelers are making thcii
campaign at present on the astounding
proposition that little negro rule coun-
tenanced unawarcS by the Democratic
party twenty years ago was wrong and
that, therefore. it justifies any amount
of negro rule under the fusionsts to-
day. 1t should not be forgotten by
white men that not once have these pen
ny pcddiers Of nonsense and falsehooGs
promised that if they win in November
that negro rule will be discontinued.
They have not promised that the whites
will not he subjected to it in sections
where they are now free from it, On
the other hand they have promised the
negro more places. They are dependent
wholly on the negro vote and would be.
If SO disposed, helpless to free the State
from negro rule. They dare not deny
that negro rule is infamous and they
dare not and do not promise to free the
State from it. The issue is joined. The
Fusionists favor negro rule; the Demo
Gratis oppose it. That is the line of
cleavage.
