After Many Days.

The hills were burned with autumn's tan,
Between them slow the river ran,
Tho woods were purpled haze
Now black the line OF hills and sore.
And locked tho stream-but you are here.
Now. after many days.
The fields where once the burrows lay
Have learned the touch OF yesterday
Along their crumbiing ways;
And you shall find them white with snow,
Brown though they were ia long ago
Now after many days.
The thlckets where the cat-bird called
The meadows by green hedges walled,
And stretch OF briery maze.
Have passed and vanished fed and gone,
Melted Ike starlight into dawn,
Now, ar many days.
Full many a sign and sense or change
That seasons bring Of new ana strange
Wiil come 20 meet your gaze;
Bleak paths whore once the violet snrang,
Dead branches whore the robins sang,
Now. after many days.
But ste9dfaat as Che Northern star,
Whatever changes Doe or are,
Howe'er the season sways.
You know the love that rules my heart
DIS yours. though long our handsaaparI

Tho Raleigh IN. CO News and Observer
SAYS that in its fight for good government
and white government the Democratic
party is not the enemy Of the negro, for
the average negro is better off under
Democratic rule than he is under Repub-
lican rule.
There is a whole volume of truth in that,
If the negro would only have the sense
to see It. What the future may bring
forth we do not know but we do know
that In this generation there is violent
opopsition to the negro in office, and that
the whites will not submit to it without
a struggle Nearly all the trouble that
has come to the negro since the war
has come through his political capers.
Wherever he has been content 10 let
the white man rule there has been no
friction between the races, and all has
been wen, but whenever and wherever
he has tried to push himself into the
notifies OF any Southern State he has
brought the wrath Of the white man
down upon him, always to his hurt.
Our information from resident Of that
state Is that the relationship between
the negroes and whites in the State Of
Mississippi Is Of the most friendly oharac-
ter. yet in Mississippi the negro masses
are practically disfrenehised. The greatest
enemy Of the negro to-day is he who
leads him into politics. His best friends
are those who keep him out Of such en-
tanglemonts.

BISHOP POTTER ON EXPANSION.

Among nc many pretoxts brought Tor
ward by the expansionists IN favor OF
heir policy is that it Is the duty Of our
nation 70 lift all peoples up to our civil
cation; that 1t is our duty TO take the
Filipinos under our guardian wings ana
civtlize AMI Chrisuanize them. In short
that expansion is q serious obligation.
Bishop Potter does not take that view
Of II. In his annual address before the
convention Of the diocese OF New

THE WAR AND us RESULTS.

That was most interesting interview
which We printed yesterday morning with
DR. Consosto.
what IS the condition Of the reconcen-
tradocs?" he was asked.
There are no reconcentradoes now"
he answered with smile
"What has become Of them?"
"They arc gone
where"
God knows"
do you mean to say that they are al
dead?'
That probably explains st better than
J can. 1t is subject which l prefer not
10 discuss"
The jingoes who inveisled this coun-
try into war with Spain used the argu-
mcnts that in the name Of liberty we
should help the Cuban patriots to throw
off the Spanish yoke Of bondage and that
in the name Of humanity we should go
TO the relief Of the distressed and starving
reconccntradoes. These arguments touch
ed the public heart. Americans are
humane people and a liberty-loving peo-
pie. They could not bear 10 think that
the Cubans whom they thought 20 be
brave and noble. were to be forever tram
pied upon by the tyrannical Spanards;
they could not bear 10 think of any
number OF men. women and children at
their very doors not only suffering for
the necessities Of life but actually staiN-
ing to death.
And so war was declared, the Spaniards
were driven out Of power and cuba was
made free. But what Of the denouement?
That noble band Of Cubans patriots
turned out to be gang Of lazy, roguish
dosperadoes, who waged war for the pro-
tit that was in it and who are a disgrace
TO civilization. SO much for the pa
triots." As for tine reconcontradocs, we
have no doubt that they did suffer the
pangs of hunger. and nobody ever dispu-
ted that their distress ought to be re-
lievod by the American people with or
without SPANS consent But what did
the war do for them? II did just what
this paper and other said it would do
exterminated them in short order
In a word. we went to war with Spain
in the name Of liberty and I'm the name
Of humanity to give the Cuban patriots
their independence and TO relieve the dis
trAss of the non-combatants For these
we let the jneoes lead us to war and now
we find that the patriots" were not mt

There you have the Spanish war in a

oonauests may be made. We respectful
iy decline to follow in that lead.
