WHAT TO DO WITH THE PHILIPPINES.

The statesmen, editors and everybody
else is talking about the Philippine Is
lands. and what the United States ought
to do with them. There is considerable
sentiment in favor of holding them per-
manently as the nucleus of vast colonial
possessions.
1t was distinctly stated at the begin
ming Of this war that It was not under
taken for aggression or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We do not want any colonies or any de-
Tendencies to embroi us in perpetual
warfare. The views of Representative
Dockery, of Missouri, as published in
yesterdays Washington Post voice our
sentiments exactly. Asked what of the
policy looking to permanent occupation
Of the Philippines, Mr.. Dockery said:
II would hold those islands and all the
other territory we may wrest from Spain
until the end of the. war. Then, in addl-
ton to the recognition of Cuban indie
pendence, Spain should be required to
pay the cost of this war. The acquisi-
ton of the Philippines by this govern
ment will doubtless compel certain Euro
pean nations to aid Spain in paying the
indemnity, rather than have the United
States disturb the so-called balance OF
power by selling the islands to Great
Britain or some other nation. BY the
treaty of peace, we should retain har-
Dor and sufficient territory for a base OF
supplies for our navy. 1t may be that
some of our people are dreaming of
conquest and empire, but Our policy III
respect to the occupation of those islands
should he in harmony with the tradition
al policy of the republic All the faith
ers have repeatedly adm0nished us to
avoid the perils incident to IA colonial
policy and the resultant foreign en-.
tanglements and alliances. Such pc.
Icy would involve an enormous out
lay and an increase of the bonded debt
We desire no territory whose population
by race, custom, and traditions, is un
fitted to exercise the high duties OF
American citizenship or is unsusceptible
to such elevation as would fit it for citi
zenship. Our territory should be practi
cally contiguous, and our population
should be kept substantially homogene
Gus, thoroughly in accord with the fun
damental doctrines of free government
and zealously devoted to the glory and
welfare of the American republic. Lei
us not abandon the policy that has
hitherto safely guided our destinies un

other eminent statesmen. Let us put
behind us any alIuring temptations tina
may invite to mere territorial aggran
dizement. That is not the kind of EN-
pire we should establish and promote

pire of the seas, which would make thu
flag of our merchant marine a familiar

THE OPENING GUN.

On May 10Th, the first gun of the cam
paign for the white man and the white
metal will be fired at Laurinburg. The
white men and women of all parties, who
are tired of negro domination, will
gather to inaugurate a campaign that
ought to invite all the white folks in the
State. The speakers-Hon. Chas B. Ay
cock, of Wayne, and Hon. Locke Craig
of Buncomhe-arc the very men to fire
the initial guns. They are Democrats
with a big ID, white men who believe il
the supremacy of their race, and silver
men of the William Jennings Bryan
stamp. If the people will hear and hee6
the doctrines they preach, the white maj
and the white metal will win.

A HOLY CELEBRATION.

In many home in this State and every
Southern State, to-day is observed as 9
holy and solemn festival. The civil wal
between the States left many widows
and mothers who still wear upon then
hearts the scar of sorrow that time
cannot heal. Though many men in the
hurry of business seem to forget the
bollowed influences of Memorial day, the
noble women always observe it with
tears and with flowers, recalling the
deeds of heroism of the fallen heroes
whose graves they garland with roses.
Always a day of sweet sadness, the
celebration this year will have new
significance because it is observed with
the sight of preparations for another war.
Those who have long mourned for the
dead who fell in the last war will come
very close in spirit to-day TO those whose
loved ones are now in camp ready to go
any day into the thickest of the conflict.
Let us to-day reverence the fallen he
roes and honor their memory. Let MS
also pray that the cruel war may be
ended before the gallant and brave young
men. now training to be soldiers, have
been offered as a sacrifice on their coun-
try's affairs.

HOW THE WAR AFFECTS POLITICS.

Those Democrats who, in and out OF
Congress. have urged war with Spain
put aside what they deemed party adj
vantage for the honor of their country
On the occasion of recent visit to
Washington, this writer heard mem
Der of Congress say, THE Democrats
will be defeated if war comes. They
destroy the hope of success by adyocat-
ing war" The history of the world
shows that successful war helps the
party in power, and this Democratic
Congressman talked sense from a politi
cal standpoint. Happily for the coun-
try, the party as a whole put the coun-
try's flag about party spirit and exhibit
ed a greatness characteristic of the
Democratic party in all great emer-
gencies.
The Republicans politicians, seeing
that they were doomed to defeat unless
they could postpone the war until neal
the time for the fall elections, did nj
in their power to postpone the inevitable
until October. If the small fry politi
clans could have succeeded. it is reasona
bly, certain that the November elections
would have been favorable to them
Now if they can defer the landing OF
troops in Cuba and delay the end of tho
war until about election time, they think
the full benefit would come to Their
party. The desire of the masses of al
parties for quick and decisive war
and the course of events have proved
too, much for the Republican politicians
and the probabilities are that the wal
will be ended in a month.
In the meantime, the elections every
where, contrary to general expectations
based on the help war would bring t.
the party in power, result in big Demo
cratic gains and sweeping Democratic
victories The municipal elections in In
Llama last week showed that the Hoosiel
State is more strongly Democratic thar
ever, notwithstanding the treachery OF
the Bill Bynum faction.
These are solid grounds for the faitf
that the people appreciate the unselfisl
patriotism Of the Democratic party anC
understand which is the true party Of
the people.

Deadly Missile of Chicago Inventor
Passes Preliminary Tests.
Louis Gathmann's Chicago shell for
carrying high explosives was twice sue
cessfully tested at the Indian Head
proving grounds in the presence of the
secretary of war and ordnance officers
Of the navy.
The first shell fired carried 800 pounds
of sand and sawdust. 1t weighed al
together 945 pounds and took a charge
of sG5 pounds Of powder. The shell
withstood pressure of six tons to the
square inch and penetrated sand bank
to depth of more than 10 feet.
The second shell tested carried 300
pounds of water, but was fred with q
heavier charge of powder, SO that the
pressure was eight tons to the square
inch. Both tests were pronounced per-
fectly successful and the ordnance de-
partment has ordered test of a shell
filled with 300 pounds of gun cotton.
The purpose Of the Gathmann shell is
safely to carry 300 or more pounds OF
gun cotton when discharged from Q
modern gun. 1t is not expected to ,ex-
plode until it strikes the object at
which it is fired, and whatever this OBJ

evenings. The New York kindergarten
association will have charge of the
school, and Mrs. Clark will maintain it.
According to present plans, fully
$500,000 will have to be set aside for the
building and it's support. But more
than that may be necessary, for orders
have been given to make this the model
