DEREtICTlON IS NO BAR TO PROMOTlf n
AMONG REPUBLICANS.

A prominent citizen of Newbern, who
was in Raleigh last week, told the
editor that lady called at the New
bern postoffice to buy a money order
and, when she ascertained that Robert
Hancock was money order clerk, refused
to buy the order and said, II will send
the money by express Yesterday the
gentleman wrote us a letter saying:
Il heard this here and it seemed tc
come from reliable source. But to-day
Mr.. Hancock denied it to me- l investi
gated the matter and find that it is
not true, that the report had no founda-
tion in fact, therefore | make the cor
rection in justice to Mr.. Hancock. As
you noted it in your issue of 21st, would
like for you to make correction
We do SO gladly.
The correction, however, does not help
the Republican party. It's State admin
istration, which the State convention en-
dorsed, kicked Hancock out of the posi-
tion of President of the Atlantic and
\ North Carolina railroad because it al
legged he had been guilty of such gross
immoral conduct that he was unfit for
an office under the State administration.
Then the Federal administration, also
endorsed by the Republican State Con-
vention, gave him the position of money
order clerk in the Newbern office. 1t
is plain that if Hancock's conduct made
him unfit for place in the State admin
istratiOn he ought not to be rewarded
by place under the Federal administra-
ton unless Mckinley intends to take
up Russell's discharged officials for pro-
motion.
The fact shows that in the South
dereliction in politicians is no bar to of
fetal promotion in the Republican ranks
1t is not Democrats who made charges
rejecting upon Mr.. Hancock and it is
not Democrats who removed him from
office. 1t was testimony from Republi
can sources and judgment from Re
publican judge and Il Republican jury.
If any wrong has been done Hancock, il
was done by the men he elected to of
fee.

My niece's little baby boy, two years old,
was so badly afflicted with Eczema that he
needed constant watching. 1t was all over
his face, and he scratched the sores con-

stained with blood, and his face and hands
would be covered. His family never could
take him out, as his face was always full of
large sores. They had medical treatment, and
tried everything they heard of. She com

WHERE IS THAT REPORT CAT"

Sometime after the date when the
law requires the rendering of the an
nua report from the penitentiary author
itics, Mr.. Claudius Dockery, chairman OF
the penitentiary board, wrote something
and presented it to the board as the
report After he had read it, there
was Il profound silence. Nobody seemed
to know anything about it. Some mem
Der of the board asked, What shall we
do with it?''
Another member remarked, 81 am not
going to do anything with it, | don't un-
derstand it and / am not going to do

Thereupon another member of the
board moved to rccommit it to Dock

report has never been seen since. 1t
is rumored that Dockery said he gave it
to Smith, and it is likewise rumored that
Smith said at one time that he carried
it to Goldsboro, and at another time
that he left it in the Treasurer's office.

At the meeting of the New York
Bankers Association on Friday, Mr.. A.
ID. Hepburn, late comptroller of the cur

doning too many bank-wreckers, default
ing bank officers and embezzlers. He
showed that since 1893 the average time
served by bank-wreckers, forgers, eni-
bezzlers, etc, was ony 81 per cent. of the
terms to which they We're sentenced. AS
there is no Federal law to lessen II mans
term for good behavior the remaining 49
per cent. of their terms had been taken
off by executive clemency. 1t is the poor

General Lee Closely Guarded.

only a handful of Americans re.
main in Havana. These are mostly
newspaper correspondents, who are
careful never to venture forth ex-
cept in twos or threes.
Consul General Lee has again ad-
vised resident Americans to leave
Cuba. The feeling prevails here
that the Consul General himself is
to start for home, and
that he will leave Havana during
the coming week. 1t is not gener-
ally known, but for more than IL
month past General Lee has been
guarded night and day by Score;

ton until quite recently, when be

A Blow to ShoshOne.
Why the OHigpins.

The reason why a Chilean warship
is named the O'Higgins is thus ex-
planned by the Chicago Times Her
aid: An O'Higgins was president of
Chile under Spanish rule, and was
a man of such extraordinary ability
that be finally rose to the proud
and powerful position of viceroy of
Peru. His name was Ambrosio
O'Higgins, and he was born in Ire
land in 1920. He was successfully
Chilean engineer, captain of cav
airy, colonel, brigadier, maj or-gen-
eral, president, marquis, lieutenant
general and finally viceroy of Peru.
He improved means of communi-
cation all over the country, founded
the City Of San Ambrosia de Bal
Tenor and rebuilt the City of Orsono.
His son, Bernado O'Higgins, for
whom the Chilean battIeship is
named, was the first president of
Chile after the country achieved it's
independence from Spain. 1t was
this 0 'Higgins who defeated Span
ish fleet under Osorio and ended
forever the naval power OF Spain
in the Pacific.
Bernado O'Higgins was the father
of his country Free Chile-as
Washington was the father of his

The Right Voted Them,

Rees Davis of the Malad Enter
prise, is ever ready with his mate
chivalry to say something nice
about the women. In reference to
their right of citizenship be says !:
The women of Idaho ought to
feel quite fattered. Every party
in the State is claiming the distin-
guished honor of elevating them
to the dignity and perquisites of
citizenship, and ayowing at the
same time that every other party
had nothing whatever to do with
this noble undertaking. We can
not see wherein any particular honor
should accrue to parties in this re.
spect. The male citizens irrespec-
tive of party voted them into citi-
zenship. They simply said to the
women: You have been our help
meets during life; we have loved
you all the time. You have shared
our joys and our sorrows, our pros
perity and adversely in another
sphere of life. You are just as
patriotic as we are, and love our
country every bit as much as We
do, and you are just as ready to
defend it. You ask the further
privilege of enjoying citizenship.
We are comforting no favor upon
you that does not rightfully belong
to you, and the only credit we can
ask is the approval of our con-
science in doing you simply justice.
1t is true that Republican legis
lature asked this privilege for the
women, but it was the people that
gave it them.

Crossing the Atlantic.

SPANS torpedo flotilla is said to
be crossing the Atlantic to Havana,
despite the protests of the United
States. Those boats are intended
for use against the United States.
and not against the insurgents. The
Cubans have no navy, and these
vessels could do nothing against
them. Spain is preparing for war
with the United States. The send
ing Of these boats to this side of the
Atlantic, by means of which its feet
in Cuba will be more than doubled
in fighting strength, is hostile act.
A recent dispatch from Madrid says
it is officially stated that, in case
the United States stops the fotilla
fleet now en- route to Cuba, the
Spanish Government will denounce
it as an act Of piracy.

SpRin's Financial Troubles.

The difference between the finan-
cial standing Of the government of
Spain and that Of the United States
is indicated by the difference in
prices of their bonds. Both gov
ernments issue four per cents, but
while those Of the United States sell
in London at 1913, the Spanish bonds
sell at from so to 55. The American
bonds are above par because the
world has implicit confidence in
their payment upon maturity, while
the heavy discount on the Spanish
bonds shows the lack of such con-
fidence, and the distrust is based
on the critical condition Of the
finances of Spain.

son who is somewhat delicate, and
it was feared he might not keep the

for boy was given to DR.. Schenck
and assistants. What next?
