THE POSITION OF NORTHERN SETTLERS

The men and women of Northern birth
in North Carolina have rejoiced more. if
possible, over the victory of November
Sth, than the Southern born men, who
worked to drive out the unfit gang who
have polluted the civic temple. There
were practically no Northern born voters
of position in the State who did not
vote the Democratic ticket this year,
and the Republicans were as anxious for
its success as the Democratic settlers. 1t
is the fact that practically all Northern
born citizens are in accord with the Demo
Gratis in local politics that makes the criti-
cism of the rabid position of the North
ern press have so little effect IF the
white people treat the negroes so bad
in the South, why is it that our brothers
in the South vote to put thef party
charged with the crimes in power?" is
Hquestion that thoughtful men all over the
North ask themselves. The answer they
give destroys the effect of the slanderous
editorials.
Mr. Il. ID. Oslin has established a new
paper at Southern Pines, called the Free
Press. 1t voices public sentiment in its
community, peopled almost wholly by
Northern settlers many of whom have
come South in search of health, i'll the
following editorial entitled, Our Posi-
| ton"
'rhe policy of the paper will not be
controlled by any party, clique or ring,
| and when an intelligent majority speaks
we shall feel it IA duty to stand up and
| help the good work along-whateyer it is
provided the minority are not denied
what they are entitled to. The superior
lily of the white race must be admitted by
every lover of good government, and of
the principles underlying the foundation
of the republic. We must congratulate
| the people of our fair State upon their
recent delivery from negro domination
and incompetent administration of pub
| lie affairs No people or set of peo-
pie will ever again fuse" or combine for
such an unhOly state of affairs, as long
as the Sotth maintains its political indie
peHueHce, anu every ehoit hiout Ni'"Nh
! by State or National officers to perma-
nently place the negro over the white
man, will surely be defeated.
'The negroes of North Carolina are
credited with more than $S.0OO,OOO worth
of assessable property. while the assess
ed valuation Of property owned by white
people amounts to more than 1000
600 This is reason enough of itself to
put the white race in the lead, and while
we do not believe it is the intention Of
the people to Cypress the negro the fact
remains that he must not seek to dom
mate our race or conduct our political
! affairs for us

WHAT OTHERS SAY.


~ l. w
Fayetteville Observer.
When the result of the election in
this State was known there went up
from every patriotic heart in its borders
deyout thanks for the opportunity it
afforded for settling the negro question
forever. On all sides the passing of a
constitutional amendment to that end
was regarded as Il thing as good as
done. AS soon, however as the news
came that twenty-five thousand Repub
licans had voted the Democratic ticket
and the proposition was made that they
be let i'll ION the ground floor" Of the
Democratic party without requiring
their acceptance of Democratic princi-
pies, a gentleman in this city aStOniShed
his companions by predicting that "A
movement would soon make its appear
ance for side-tracking the constitutional
amendment. And sure enough it has
already appeared.
The first step was taken some days
ago when the assertion was made by
sundry Republicans that their party ia
vored such an amendment. The effect
would be to suggest to the Democrats
that what the Republicans wanted
could not be good for Democrats. What
ever the marines may think of this Re
publican manoeuvre, old sailors should
know better. Without the negro vote
there is no Republican party, and there
is no reason to suspect that organization
of n desire to commit suicide.
The next step was yesterday record
ed by the vigilant Raleigh correspond
ent of the Wilmington Messenger, who
reports some people politics unknown
as declaring that "a well arranged cleo
ton law will, serve the same purpose
as the constitutional amendment.
We are sure our Democratic members
elect to the Legislature will be on their
guard against Democracy willy foe.

WASHINGTON, March IA weeks
negotiations closed today with the trl-
umphant purchase by the navy depart
ment, in London. of the two fine cruisers
built and building at Elswick for the Bra
zilian government. Possibly the officials
took more pleasure in closing up the busi-
ness nf this manner, because Of the knowl-
edge that Spanish agents had been striv-
ing to secure these very ships, and that
to Spain. IL Is said, they would be OF
much greater value in case Of trouble
than TO the United States
The next question is how 10 get the
ships home, and that has not yet been
settled. according 10 the secretary Of the
navy. The United States flag will he
hoisted over the new ships within a week,
probably. and jast as soon as the crew
can be put aboard the Amazonas she will
start for the United States The other
vessel will follow AZ the earliest possible
moment. The terms Of the sale are secret.
The availability of the two Brazilian
ships was first brought TO the attention Of
the navy department by Mr.. Iaine. agent
of the Nordenfeldt Company. who was au-
tnoriZed 10 dispose o. these ships building
at Elswick and Of two others in course of
construction in France Mr.. 1-aine said
today that the two ships purchased would
be most desirable acquisition TO the Amer
