NO SERIOUS FIGHTING.
If There Had Been Washington Would
Have Been Notified.

Washington, June 23.-Up to 1890
tonight neither the War nor the Navy
Department had received any news from
either the troops or the feet in the vicin-
ity Of Santiago. The Navy Department
had several messages during the evening
from Admiral Sampson, but all of them
related to purely routine matters of no
possible interest to the public. Admiral
Sampson made no reference to fighting
or even to skirmishing and his silence
on that point, together with the fact
that nothing has been received by the
War Department from General Shafter,
is taken by the officials of both depart
ments to mean that no engagement in
the least way serious has occurred since
the landing of the forces.

no GERMAN FORCE LANDED.
Such is the Belief at Washington-S Spain
Trying to Make Trouble.

Washington. ID. c., June 23.-The re-
port that Germany has landed n naval
force ut Manila is discredited in the most
positive manner at the State Department
and in the best informed diplomatic
quarters. 1t is looked upon as a part
of the persistent foreign propaganda in
spired from Madrid, which for weeks has
been seeking to stir up animosity be-
tween the United States, Germany,
France, and other countries. That the
report is purely cOnjectural IS now shown
from the fact that there is no cable
communication out of Manila and even
Admiral Dewey, who holds the shore
end Of the cable, has not been heard
from in some days.

FREE SILVER.

Our editorial in last weeks issue on
Fusion on Silver" was gotten up rath
er huriedly. The newspapers were
somewhat surprised at it. Some called
it AN attack on silver" others were
surprised to learn that free silver is
not the cardinal principle of the Ali
aDce" 0 le good Allianceman wrote
that he didn't understand our position.
Another one of the true blues" wrote
US a letter thanking US for the edito
rial. Now, free silver is not, as one
might infer from it, the least of the
alliance demands. Neither is it the
greatest. As Col Polk once said it ia
merely a stepping stone 60 reform. 1t
Is n Of the simplest end>most easily
understood of Alliance demands;
hence, it's great popularity.
In the Alliance platform there are
three planks: Money, land and trans
porratIon. The money, or financial
plank is doubtless the most important
Of the three, and embraces free silver,
a graduated income tax. abolition of
national banks, opposition TO m9nopo
ly, etc.
We believe that Alliancemen are
willing to let the land and transporta
ton planks ''lie over" so to speak, for
awhile, if they can have their demands
IN their financial plank enacted into
law, but we do not believe they are
willing to discard these planks, even
for campaign, if they must, too,
lay aside all demands in their financial
plank except one-free silver.
When you try to fill a barrel with
water you stop the bung. Just 80,
when we try to increase the peoples
supply OF money we must change our
laws in order to prevent their increased
supply running into the cof RS of the
monopolists. Faith is a good thing,
but without works is said to be dead "
Free silver is a good thing, but it alone
lacks a lot Of being a cure all for fnan-
cial ills.

KANSAS.

Ia our issue Of February 18Th we
published an article on Kansas under
the head, Kansas Under Populism. :"
Mr. Franklin Matthews has been
sent by Harper's Weekly to investigate
the financial condition Of the people of
Kansas and surrounding country. Mr.
Matthews is a newspaper man of long
experience, whose judgment is as well
recognized as his honesty. The pur-
pose of his mission was not to puff or
condemn the districts he visited, but
to record actual facts. That his verdict
upon what he studied is very favorable
may be gathered from the title under
which he sums up his Investigations,
bright Skies in the West"
He is an avowed goldbug, but admits
that whatever may be said of the
Populist leaders, the Eastern visitor
will find the rank and file Of the party
composed of loyal Americans, honest
in their beliefs and lovers of good gov
ernment."

A NEW PLAN.

A Tennessee farmer told a Texas
Journal representative that a Tennes
see neighbor commenced killing sew
eral hundred hogs when the weather
became so warm and moist that it
seemed certain the meat would spoil.
To preserve it he adopted a plan learned
from Indians at an early day. As soon
as the meat was cut up it was placed
in boiling water and kept there until
heated in the marrow, then taken out
and saited. 1t took salt better than
when treated in the ordinary way,
none of the meat spoiled and all of it
was sweeter and better favored than
meat cured by the usual process.

ROADS CAN STAND THE REDUc.
TON.

The railroads say that they will be
crippled if the reduced railroad rates
go into effect. They say that it will
reduce their income from one to two
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
This is not correct for the natural in
crease in travel would probably make.
up nearly the total e~pparentl loss. But
if there were no increase OF revenue on
account of low rates the railroads or
the State can stand the reduction. By
their own reports they cleared nearly
three and q half million dollars over
and above actual expenses and inn
provements in the Stase last year. Al
low q reasonable per cent or the actual
capital invested in railroads in the
State, or even on the Watered stock, and
they still have something like two
millions in clear profits, or nearly tCice
as much as the total State tGG collected
annually. But if there we're more
need of economy the more than 100 600
free passes issued annually might be
cut off, in fact, they will be if the law
is complied with and that will increase
the income Of the railroads consider
ably. People who get free passes for
their influence" are generally able to
pay, and their little mites dropped into
the railroad Golfers would go far to
ward giving lower rates to everybody.
A majority of the railroad commits
sioners, a PopuIist and a Democrat,
voted for the reduced rates. We feel
sure that the Populist State Conven-
ton will endorse the the two commits
sioners, Il is more than likely that a
similar resolution will be introduced
in the Democratic State Convention.
Wonder if it will be adopt de- o. will
it be sent on before the Committee on
Resolutions and die for want Of aTten-

RATHER RIGID RULES.

We think the Soldiers Home is a
great institution and would not say
anything against it under any circum-
stances. And we do not propose TO
criticize those having the direct man
agement of the Homo. However, we
think some Of the rules are rather rigid.
For instance, the old soldiers are not
allowed to visit the city Of Raleigh
oftener than once a week, we believe.
We are told that one of the veterans
was discharged recently on account of
a suspicion that he gave a copy of the
rules to a Raleigh daily newspaper,
though it was not proven that he did
80. II this be correct it was an I'M as
tice, a strike at personal liberty. OF
course we understand that most of the
veterans are old men, rather hard to
please, aud they may complain of too
much restraint without cause. Still
we think The boys" who fought for
their country ought to be allowed a
good deal of liberty at the Home.
