An Atchison woman recently cooked
and fused for three days preparing
big dinner for an out-of-town friend
who was coming to spend the day with
her. Judge of her horror when they
sat down to the table, to see the guest
open small box she carried with her,
and take health food crackers and
bread from it, saying that she was TAX
ing a certain health treatment, and car
ried all her meals with her! All that
she would take from her hostess was
salt and boiled water.

CRUSH THEM AT A BLOW.

'The way to free Cuba is to free it,
writes ex-senator Ingalls,.
1.-THE best way to avoid loss by fever
as we'll as from bullets is to crush the
Spaniards at blow and bring our
army back home," said General Cor
don to an Associated Press reporter.
Fitzhugh Lee said, soon after return
ing from Cuba, that he could take 90
900 men and drive out the Spaniards in
twenty days.
We have always felt that the senti-
ment expressed by these three prominent
men is correct. The insurgents are
starving, and delays are making the in
vasion Of Cuba less easy. The rainy
season will set in toward the last of
June, and that fact has seemed to us
to make it important to follow the adj
vice of General Lee and General Cor
don. One month will suffice to crush
the Spaniards in Cuba. Then the army
can come back home, this righteous
war will be ended, and the brave vol
nnteers can return to the pursuits of
peace"

P0PULISTS NOT IN IT.

The Populists of Warren county
warmed into life the negro party of
that county and made it possible for
negro commissioners and negro magis-
trates and negro school committeeman
to control the destinies Of Warren coun-
~ When fusion was first effected, the
negro party let the Populists name the
member of the House. Now that they
have used the Populists to pull the
chestnuts ont of the fire, the negroes
and their allies throw the Populists
overheard and take all the places for
themselves.
The Republicans held their county
convention on Saturday and nominated
negroes for register of deeds, treasurer,
coroner, county commissioner, and mem
Der of the House Of Representatives.
The Populists must now see the mistake
they made in helping to destroy white
supremacy. The better element will not
again in Warren county or elsewhere
affiliate with the negro and gold stand
ard party. The issue is now so plain
that men who are for the white man
and the white metal must vote together
or become allies of the negro and gold
standard party.

HE DESERVED SUCCESS.

The defeat of Mr.. d. Nj. Luther for
mayor of Ashevile by 50 votes is wide
ly regretted. He made an active cam
paign, and retired from the campaign
with the gratitude of the Democracy of
Asheville for his splendid work He
would have defeated any Republican
opponent, and he came very near down
ing his independent and Republican OBJ
ponent. 1t will be remembered that Nh
Luther was given the certificate of eec-
ton as member of the House from
Buncombe, but declined because it was
based on technicality. Such conduct
entitled him to the respect of all good
men. The solid negro vote, added to
some unfaithful Democrats, denied him
an election. They cannot take from him
the respect of brave and honest men.

A BLUNDER THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED

The Army and Navy Journal is just in
its criticism of the Secretary of the Navy
for naming the great liners Paris and
New York after Yale and Harvard uni
versities. 1t was n meaningless name
for war ships and sets a precedent that,
if followed will convert the navy into
an advertising agency for the colleges
and universities. How would it sound
for Commodore Dewey to command an
iron clad called the "Podunk Academy
or the "Rhamkatte Business College,
Who will say that there is nothing in
the name of cruiser or warship?
The Secretary of the Navy has blund-
cred and the names should be changed
at once The name Dewey would mean
something if it is decided not to honor
the other cities and States.

The Washington Post says that four
chapters remain to be written before
the war with Spain can be ended. They
will have the following titles:
1. Occupation of the Philippine Is
lands.
.. Seizure of Porto Rico.
3. Destruction of the Spanish Atlantic
fleet.
4. Capture of Cuba.
If the chapters come in the order
named in the Post, the last will be
first and the first last in the popular
idea of how the war would be conducted.
1t has been supposed all along that the
first fighting would be in Cuba. Instead
of that, it began in the Pacific ocean,
as far away from Cuba rs possible.

STATE CONVENTION.

conventions which have been held mp TO
date have been excellent, expressive OF
the conservatism and wisdom of the
Marty In two no resolutions were
odonted and in two others resolutions In
favor of the cooperation of all men
who favor the white man and the white
metal were adopted All of the con-
vontions smoke ont clear and strong upon
the paramount issues in state and ma
tional politics, and appointed the ablest
and best men in the party in their coun-
ties TO attend the State convention at
Raleigh.
This is no time for party disputes, dis
sensions and chickering's. Differences of
policy there may be, but they are hon
estly entertained and the sentiment is
that, when the convention speaks, there
will be but one opinion as to policies or
Der of Democrats who believe that, if
the men in the populist party who are
tired of negroism and gold standardism,
control their convention, it will be the
part of wisdom to secure united action
between the two parties. This is the
party policy, approved by all the chosen
party leaders, and dictated by devotion
to the paramount political issues. The
Yancey county Democratic convention
expressed the sentiment of this element
of the party when it made this declara-
ton:
eve are favorable to the co-opera-
ton of all people of North Carolina
who favor white supremacy and
white metal, and are willing to
work for principle. but we are ever
lastingly opposed to fusion for
spOils."
The Yancey Democrats are right.
ANY cooperation between men of op-
poste views for spells is dishonorable.
The Democratic party would suffer de.
feat a thousand times before it would
enter into any arrangement with gold
bugs, protectionists, or negrophilists. 1t
is as right for men who think alike to
vote together as it is wrong for men
whose principles are apart to unite to
get Offices. The Yancey Democrats
make the distinction plain and clear
cut.
There is another element in the party
that is hostile to cooperation with the
Populists under any considerations.
Some of them believe any offer made by
them would be insincere others that
an acceptance of any offer would drive
away rs many votes as it would secure;
and others, who believe in the gold
standard, of course OPPOSE it because
they do not want the silver forces to win.
denounce MI who do not hold views
identical with their own, it is gratifying
to note that the sentiment of the party
is that the coming convention should be
composed of the best men in the party,
who will do what is best to redeem the
State from bad rule and advance the
principles of the Chicago platform. A
convention thus constituted and largely
attended would never agree to any trad
ing for offices and would welcome CO.
operation if it could be secured upon the
basis of the shibboleth the white man
and the white metal"
Let each county elect ms delegates its
best men, those who are true to the
principles of the party as enunciated at
Chicago and Raleigh in 1896, and let
us have the biggest convention in the
history of the State. A big convention
wonld create an enthusiasm that would
fire the whole State.
