Spanish Dank Saved From Failure
by British Houses.

Manila, Philippine Islands, Aug. &.-The
rumors of troubles between the natives and
Americans are for the most part unfound-
ed. The fact is that the Insurgents have
been unwilling to disarm until assured of
the permanence of American protection.
The distrust felt as TO the Spanish Bank,
which originated in rumors IS to excessive
note issue to aid the Spanish authorities,
led to a run on the institution. but the
British banking houses came TO its assist
ance and averted a failure.
Business As now booming. The obstruc-
tions in the river Pusig, which flows
through the town, have been removed and
the water works have resumed operations.

THAT PENlTENTIARY REPORT.

We publish in to-day's supplement tive
remarkable documents purporting to bC
the reports of the chairman of the direc
tors of the penitentiary and the cX-supcr-
intcndent They are in no sense reports
and do not convey the least information
that shows the real condition of the
affairs of that institution.
The reflections on past management
are in keeping with the policy officially
inaugurated recently of trying to smircl
the character of every official living
or dead in order to divert attention from
the corruption and incompetency of the
present gang who misgovern the State
To-day we call attention only to the
false excuse for the delay in presenting
even fake reports In his letter Il
Dockery the Governor said that he had
been informed that "formcr administra

tons, had taken some months to prepare
their reports"
What are the facts? The reports of
the last administration were always in
the Governors hands early in january,
except in 1896, when by the repeating
act of 1895, no report at all was re-
CURED. A full Report, however, was
made and placed in the Governors hands
the first of February, and that without
any demand from the public. The BIZ
cnnial Reports, covering 1S93-'94 and
1896 were promptly in the hands of
the Governor the first of January, which
substantially became a part of his mes
sage to the General Assembly.
Russell, Dockery and Smith cannot
palliatc their gross administration with
any Democratic precedent.

THE PARTING OF The WAYS.

The honest Populist, now that Harry
Skinner and Ohio have been installed as
the accepted leaders of the party, flnds
himself at the parting of the ways.
Six years ago when the Democratic par
ty didn't do to suit him, he walked out
and helped to organize new party.
He had no grievance then except the
belief that the Democracy was under
the control of Wall Street. He knew
the county and State governments were
in good and competent hands, and with
Col. Polk he wanted no change from
the good home government. But he
was carried on in the impulse of Il new
party to fuse with the Republicans, and
now he sees that, having breathed the
breath of life into that old hulk, it
has obtained control of the Populist par
ty.
In Wake county part of the con-
vention, composed of the best men who
helped to organize the party, boldly
boIted the convention when the majority
decided to fuse with the Republicans
again. The men who walked out repre-
sent the great majority of the Populist
party, who really believe i'll silver and
in white rule There were others in the
convention who are now on the point of
openly boiling, after seeing how the con-
vention was manipulated by Republican
politicians They understand that to re-
main in the Populist organization under
Ohio Wilson's leadership means that
they have become, as one Of them said,
"a tail to the Republican kite" They
will follow the brave stand of those
men who had the courage to bolt when
no alternative was left them but to
bolt or to join with the negroes III fur
Their degrading their county and State.
But these boiling and participating dele
gates represent only portion OF the
Populist party. The rank and file took
no interest whatever from first to last.
They have already made up their minds
to vote the ticket that means 1.-THE white
man and the white metal this year,
and when November comes the Radical
crowd that signed deed to turn over
the party in fee simple to Mark Hanna
will find that their followers have deci-
dcd not to be slaves any longer, to be
traded off by office-holders as the negro
traders snapped negroes before the war.
The Wake bolt will be pooh-poohed by
the court house ring. The men who
compose it and their constituents have
the masses of the party behind them.
for the masses have not gone over to the
advocacy of negro rule and the gold
standard yet, though they now see thar
their leaders are nothing but Rcpubli-
cans.

WAS ADAM A PRESBYTERIAN?

In the midst of wars alarms and Pc
litical discussions. it is refreshing to
ind the grave and reverend GcacOns and
elders at Sugar Creek turning to the
Qurly. "as Adam Il Presbyterian" 1t
would seem that the chief points, of the
contention were made by the negative
viz: that Adam fell from grace ana
must therefore have been Il Methodist,
and that he did not rule his house well
and therefore could not have been a
ruling elder.
Nothing dauntcd however the affrma-
tive contendcd that while there was no
positive proof there was strong collateral
probability that Adam after the apple
episode committed his future prospects
to the Presbyterian faith.
The final answer to this important
question in church history would it
seems to us, be found In another qucs-
ton, Did Adam wear stockings. and if
so, were the stockings blue? Now Rollin
is not explicit on this point, and Darwin
leaves much to desired. Inferentialiy !!
however it looks like the Presbyterian
contention must fall to the ground 1t
is pretty well established that it was
the Carthagcnians who first brought 9u~
pie and blue into vogue as royal coIors.
1t is extremely doubtful, therefore,
whether the lord of the beasts of the
field and the fowls of the air ever cX-
posed his regal shins on the boulevards
swathed in blue hosen.
1T may also be urged that if the days
of the week had been originally made
for presbyterians there would have been
more than seven of them. So small
number of divisions would have been
abhorrent to any commitment of that
faith: and it is known that it was the
original intention to make things pleas
ant for Adam. 1t is safe 10 conclCde,
cordingly, that since there were not at
least seventeen distinct heads or divis-
ions of the week that Adam was not 4
Presbyterian.
For the sake of historical accuracy we
must join Rev. J. Il. Howerton, a parti-
cipant in the Sugar Creek discussion,
who, we are told entered his protest
against carrying the Presbyterian church
back to Eden"
