human Freedom.

For the whole of the enormous ad-
vance in the condition of the laboring
man the basis was laid, once for all, by
the gospel. This was, in its original
form and in its continuing purpose, the
charter Of human freedom, and the two
modes by which it most conspicuously
asserted itself in the arduous process Of
social regeneration were first the grad
ual elevation Of woman and next the
mitigation and eventual abolition Of
slavery.

state Tax Levy of3 Mills.

A Pierre special says the state board
of equalization and assessment has
completed its work and made tax
levy Of three mills ON the dollar, which
is one mill less than the levy of last
year. The levy is two mills for the
general fund and one mill for the
bond, interest and sinking funds.
A fiat levy of 32 mills was made ON
telegraph, telephone, express and
sleeping car companies, which is in
lieu Of all other taxes in the state.
The valuation will be practically the
same as it was last year.

lima can do well, besides swear? Is
There any human relation, any

dorse him, will not drag politics,
low, dirty, ~ill~smelling politics at

One hardly knows whether to
wonder most at the imbecile
things that he does or the ridicul-
Gus. He begs the war department
to muster out one regiment of our
troops and then sends J.
C. Logan Harris post haste
to Washington TO get the order
revoked. 1t was not enough
that the State should have been
shamed at home. His Excellency
must call the attention of Gov
eminent officials to the fact that
North Carolina has a Governor
who cannot rise above peanut
politics, even in matters affecting
North Carolina volunteers. The
only thing existentthat can equal
His Pufiness in the brilliancy of
the things that he has not done,
and the littleness of the things

Cayaignac's Resignation.

M. Cavaignac's resignation
points to a new trial for Drey-
fus. The Minister Of war has
steadfastly opposed a reopening
of the case, and even the acs
acknowledgements that he has been
imposed upon, since the trial, by
the enemies of Dreyfus does not
seem to have shaken his position.
His knowledge of the whole COM
plicated business is SO much more
intimate than any outsider can
claim that his sincerity need not
be questioned; but the reasons
which he was able to give to the
public will no longer serve, and
it is thus impossible for him to
hold out against the demand for
a rehearing.
Should Dreyfus really be given
a new trial, it is impossible to
predict the result. If the politi~
cal reasons for a secret trial still
hold good, the actual evidence
could not be presented in a public
hearing and the doubt would still
remain. But if public opinion is
strong enough to force a new
trial. il must be strong enough to
make it thorough, and the poss.
lible international complications
are such that a prudent gov-
ernment may we'll hesitate be.

Events that Transpire III
That Town and
Section.

1--WE Press the ButtOn!"
Newbern Journal.
At the Craven county Republic
can convention, held in this city
few weeks ago for the purpose o.
nominating a county ticket, there
was everywhere, in all the diff
fferent stages of the proceedings 6
noticeable sense of triumph among
the negro delegates, who greatly
outnumbered the whites.
The negro felt his superiority
in numbers, and in numbers he
recognized the fact Of power to
dictate to his white Republican
brother.
This sense of superiority was
well shown and expressed in the
really notable speech of the con-
vention, made by the assistant in
the register of deeds Office, a col
ored man by the name Of Wethero
ington.
This ofice-holder showed a
persistence in advocating the negro
for every Office that was worthy
of his race, and his every speech,
and they were numerous, were
hot enough for the most pro-
nounced negro in the convention
who was seeking an Office.
In his speech Wetherington, ris,
ing to the time and occasion, was
eloquent in depicting the progress
of the negro in getting office, and
finally in a burst of triumph he
exclaimed, with dramatic action
suited to express each sentence,
sin 1896, we pressed the button
and behold John B. Willis, Reg
lister of Deeds, came forth! Again
we pressed the button, and Robert
Moseley, county commissioner,
came forth! We pressed the butt
ton, and deputy sheriffs came
forth! We pressed the button and
magistrates came FORTH"
Sand now in this convention
we have again pressed the butts
ton, and behold G. G. Roach, for
county treasurer. is before you
and with the past and present
before US, what shall the future
give to us?'

The Facts Are History.
Biblical Recorder.

DlDl1CdI hoCOrOGr.
Now we are prepared to con-
slider the question of facts: Il
there a negro on the Board of Di-
rectors of these (white and colored
blind) institutions? James IT.
Young, negro, was a member OF
the Board until this summer, when
he resigned to take a place in the
volunteer army. Second: Did the
negro inspect the institution for
the white children? He did; there
is a certificate signed by him GER
tifying that he did.
We r glad that these facts are
past history; glad that no negro is
now on the BoPrd. 1t would not
be abhorrent to have one or more
negroes, intelligent and of good
character, on . board governing
an institution for negro children;
and it may be said that Young
was made a member of the Board
in question in order to look after
the institution for negro children.
But the fact stands bald that he
had equal powers with the white
members of the Board in the con-
duct of the institution for white
children; and those who know him
know that he is not slow to try to
assert such power. If there must
be a negro to look after the insti-
tuition for negroes, let there be
two boards. But there exists no
necessity.
And, in passing, the same dec
laration applies with equal force
to the free schools of North Car,
Gina. If there must be a negro
to look after the free schools for
negroes in a township, let there be
two committees. But there exists
no necessity.
The people Of North Carolina
had better give the negroes once
for all to understand that, though
politicians may cater to them for
their votes. the negro race must
keep to its place both for the
good of the race and the welfare
Of the State. When the Anglo
Saxon becomes inferior to the
African, then we may consider
the necessity Of putting negroes
on boards under which are both
white and colored children. Mean
while the sensible negro, the
unselfish negro, will recognize
that it is better, infinitely better,
for him and his children to have
white boards and white commits
tees to look after their welfare;
but the demagogue, both white
and black, will continue to har-
rangue the negroes about their
rights" and recognition" seek
ing, of course, an Office, not for a
moment caring, never having
dreamed of caring, either for the
State or for the negro race.

MUTUALLY Agreeable COndi-
lions -

Raleigh News and Observer.
The aggregation that met here
day before yesterday for the pur.
pose of putting North Carolina or
the bargain counter doubtless con-
gratulated itself upon the adroit'
ness with which the terms of sale
were phrased. The committees
Isaid:
sit is respectfully recommended
that the counties and district pros
lceed to nominate cooperative
tickets on mutually agreeable con-
EDITIONS and the assurance is au-
thorized by the committees and
hereby made that their best offices
aud assistance will be given in any
matter necessary to effect the Co
Operation above recommended and
advised. :"
"Mutually agreeable condl-
tions!" Do what they would, the
phrasers of the contract could not
keep commercial terms out of
what was purely a commercial
transaction. Mutually agreeable
conditions. Mutually agreeable
conditions-that is the issue and
the only issue of the Rad-Pop
fusionists. The conditions may be
mutually arranged in such way as
to be mutually agreeable to the
bargainers. They cannot be made
agreeable to the rank and file, to
the men whose votes were at
tempted to be disposed of as SO
much merchandise, at midnight
and with no voice and no consent
of theirs. The pie-eaters have
drawn the contract, but the honest
voter will not ratify it.
There are certain other condi-
tons in North Carolina that are
not agreeable. 1t is not agreeable
white men that their wives and
daughters cannot remain at home
in safety, that law abiding white
men are liable to be dragged be-
fore negro justices by negro con-
stables, prosecuted by a negro
lawyer for ofenses never COM
mitted, and fined that these inky
wards of Rep-Pop, fusion may live
without work. These arc the dis
agreeable conditions that face
the white men of a large
section of our State, conditions
that the white men of every part
will help to remedy.
Although the committees con-
tented themselves with saying:
Hthe assurance IS authorized by
the committees that their best of
fees and assistance will be given
in any matter necessary to the eff,
feet the cooperation above recon-
mended and advised" the real
meaning is sufficiently plain; the
pie~eaters of both sides will be in
structed to apply the lash to make
the voter stand to the midnight bar
gain. And so with stmutaally
agreeable conditions" inscribed on
their banner the traders rush to
the onset.
