SIGNIFICANT ACTION.

In Vance County the State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction and
other friends of education, made a
special effort to help the teachers of
the public schools. To save time and
energy it was planned to have one
meeting for both white and colored
teachers, the latter to sit in COM
Portable and convenient gallery But
the colored people objected, and then
it was decided to have two meetings.
one of them especially for the negroes.
The meeting for the white people took
place first. and was thoroughly help
full; but when the hour came for the
meeting OF the colored teachers. there
were none to be found. This is an
incident which would not be worth
ten lines of type. if it did not illus
trate a great condition that Southern
people are well aware of and North
ern people have never perceived:
The most difficult thing to do in this
world is to help the colored race.
they want to be helped in their own
way; they are possessed of the phan-
tom of social equality for which they
will forSake everything else OF
course there are distinguished ex-
ceptions: but we speak of the race as

makes to persuade one that North
Carolina has given the colored people
more recognition in public education
than is good for them.-Biblical Re

the indiscretion of declaring the

IF WAR SHOULD COME.
The United States rlOre Than a Match
For Spain.

Without being able to give a good
reason for the faith that is in us, we
have been of the opinion all along
that there will be small-sized war
between the United States and Spain.
Well, suppose there is war, what of
it, and what will it amount to?
There seems to be notion that the
moment war is declared Spanish
fleets will appear before many of the
Atlantic coast cities and commence to
drop shells in their principal streets.
We doubt if 4 single one of the
heavy guns mounted on the American
coast would have to be fired. SPANS
naval power is not great enough to in
spire any such fear. The American
fleets should be able to handle all the
ships that Spain can get to this side
of the ocean, without permitting
them to threaten any city more nearly
than to appear in the ofling, where
the monitors may come into action.
or course the theatcr of war would
not be on American soil. for if Span
ish army succeeded in cffectinw Il
landing it would be overwhelmed bv
the force that would sweep down
upon it. Nor would the combat be
upon the soil of Spain. for the United
States has neither desire nor ncceS-
sity to remove the scene of action
across the Atlantic, where the enemy
would be able to employ his forces to
the best advantage.
The conflict would centre in and
IL
be the blockade of Havana. The fleet
could throw its shells into the city
without entering the torpedo-sown
harbor. and if the destruction wrought
by the projectiles were not sufficient
to bring the enemy to terms, hunger
soon would be. The supplies con-
summed in Havana are almost entirely
brought in by sea. 1t must be re
membered, too. that a declaration of
and men to be poured into Cuba by
any and all avenues. subject only to
interference by the Spanish fleet. and
that fleet would have its hands full
taking care of itself. Within few
weeks the inSurgent army would be
supplied with munitions of war in an
abundance that it has never known.
and thousands of Americans would
have made their way across to swell
their ranks. With this army press
ing against Havana on one side and
the American fleet confronting it on
the other. the case of the Spanish
armies would be hopeless and uncon-
ditional surrender would soon be
their only course to escape annihila-
ton.
Spain has only thirteen warShipS to
be reckoned formidable. One battle
ship, six iirst-class cruisers and six
second-class cruisers make up the list
There are nearly 100 smaller and
older boats. but by far the larger
portion ofthem are scarcely as formd-
able as tugboat with a gun mounted
in its bow. They are antiquatcd
slow and either very little or not at
all protected by armor. MANY of
them are scattered in remote parts of
the world. Operating on this side of
the Atlantic Spain would be at enor-
nous disadvantages, as it has no coal
ing station nearer than the Canary
islands. and its ships would be 5000
miles from docks and repair Yards
A war would be short and decisive
and Spain would lose its navy as we'll
as its American colonies. D0nriUs
