WHAT OTHERS SAY.
PUSH THE WAR.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
Dewey has been in control of the Phil
ippine Islands since May Pr days
Why then does the Spanish flag still
float over Manila?
Sampson had Porto Rico ut his mercy
on May u. He says he could compel
the surrender Of its capital. San Juan
in a few hours. Why then does the
Spanish flag still float over San Juan?
Our navy has had Havana at its
mercy ever since the war began 81
days. Why, then, does the Spanish flag
still float over Havana?
When Cervera sailed from Cape
Verde it was known to all naval OK
perts that if it came to this side he
must put in ut some far-outlying West
Indian island for coal and news.
Schley did not sail from Hampton
Roads until the day after Cervera was
reported just where he had to turn up
at Martinique. And Sampson. as soon
as he got the news. was ordered back
to Key West. Why does the Spanish
dag still float over Cerveras fleet!
Why is Spain still in practically I'M
disturbed possession of all the objective
points Of the war? Why are the Cubans
still oppressed and starving instead OF
free and well fed? Why are we still
at war instead Of arranging the terms
of peace?
Because until Yesterday we were car
rying on kind-hearted war that for
babe the Smelling of cities and the talk
ing of sharp, conclusive action. Be
cause, just as the great kind-hearted
Cuban feeding scheme was changed into
anything but kind-hearted peaceful
blockade famine scheme, so now ON
kind-hearted chess-board war is to be
changed into an anything but kind
hearted scheme to hurl great American
armies into Cuba

The presence in the State of Hon.
Hannis Taylor at the University OF
North Carolina to-day is an event OF
Statewide interest. A native of the
State and an alumnus Of the University,
he comes back home one of the noted
diplomats Of the world. The distin-
guished audience that will greet him to-
day will give him welcome for them

Spanish war, and he viii do so in the
direct manner that characterizes the pa
triotic and cultivated American.

A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.

That was a notable event in Nor
canton yesterday, the laying of the
corner stone Of the building for the State
school for the deaf and dumb. DR.. Gal
laudet, the highest authority in America
on teaching the deaf, paid a very hand
some and deserved compliment to the
efficiency of the school when he said
that neither in Europe nor America had
he seen so meritorious an exhibition Of
methods ana results Of teaching the
deaf as in the State school at Morgan
ton.
"A compliment Of such character from
so eminent an authority must give pleas
ure to every citizen of the State. We
felicitate Superintendent Goodwin and
his associates upon being worthy Of the
high compliment.

RAlEIGH'S RETIRING POSTMASTER.


That was happy and pleasant gath
ering of the employees in the Raleigh
postoffice yesterday afternoon when they
gathered to say farewell to the retiring
postmaster Mr.. G. M. Busbee. They
made Mr.. Busbee handsome present,
and it was given in such manner as to
show the real regret his associates felt
at his retirement.
More than four years ago, as he was
recovering from a serious illness, Mr..
Busbee was made postmaster. He has
been fully restored to health, and re-
tnrns to devote his entire time TO the
practice Of his profession in which he
has long been leader of the ablest bar
in North Carolina.

FOR STATE CHAIRMAN.
Windsor Orient.l

With no spirit of dictation, we hope
that the Executive committee will Sc
lect Judge George III. Brown for State
chairman, and we hereby suggest his
name Judge Brown, of course, is no
aspirant for the place. If he was, we
would be slow to suggest him. We
know him to be true and tried Demo
crat. He is no 'fair-weather" party
man. He took up the judgeship at the
command of his party, he will lay it
down at its bidding. He was
held court in every county in the State,
and he knows the conditions. If we can
not win with him, we could not win
with any one else in the land. He is
in vigorous health-with very superior
ability and is a man of wonderful re-
sources and tact. He meets the situa-
ton. He belongs to no faction. but is
an all-round Democrat We hope to see
him selected.

AN INFALLIBLE TEST.
Webster's Meekly.

An infallible test to apply to the ru-
mors of naval fights: If the Associated
Press fathers them, they are apt to be
correct, for that agency has first class
facilities and is very careful about what
it gives OUT If the stock market sends
out reports of big victories, don't nibblc
at the bait. If the government has any
good news, you may bet your bottom
dollar that it will not hold it back. 1t
is only too glad to give it out.
