clenched his hands and answered, in

People overlooked the Importance of
permanently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with transient action; but now
that it is generally known that Syrup
of Figs will permanently overcome
habitual constipation, well-informed
people will not buy other laxatives,
which act for time, but finally injure
the system. Buy the genuine, made
by the California Fig Syrup Co.

MUST JOHN R., WALK THE PLANK :?

The resolutions adopted by the State
missioner of Agriculture, are more to the
point than we had supposed. AS Il mat
ter of fact they fully bear out what Edi-
tor Bailey said, and read as follows:
"Whereas, The Agricultural Depart
ment of North Carolina is an institu-
ton established for the sole purpose of
aiding and assisting the farmers of
the State in the advancement of their
profession, and
Whereas, The present Commissioner
of Agriculture occupies the position
under circumstances not creditable to
himself nor to the great body of far
mers in the State; therefore,
Resolved That the North Carolina
Farmers State Alliance earnestly pro-
test against his selection for the po-
sition, and respectfully request the di-
rectors of the Agricultural Department
to place in said position more suitable
man as the head Of our department at
the earliest possible time.
Now, what will the Governor and his
automatons on the Board do about it?
Must John H. walk the plank alone,
while his co-conspirators and confcder-
atcs continue to draw big salaries for
doing nothing?
There arc those who say that the Gov
ernor dare not turn off John II. because
he is afraid of disclosures that the
Wayne county Republican may make.
Whatever the outcome, the resolution
of the Alliance will shut the mouths of
those pie-eaters who say that the eX-
posture of Radical wrong doing was Il
Democratic lie.

CHATHAM GETTING INTO LINE.

a prominent citizen of Chatham coun-
ty, in Il private letter gives encouraging
news from one of the best counties i'll
North Carolina. The return of Chatham
county to the party of the white man
and the white metal will be hailed with
Joy all over North Carolina. 1t was one
of the earliest counties to rid itself of
Radical rule after Reconstruction, and
it sent two Democrats to help make the
Constitution under which we live. In
1890 it gave a tremendous majority for
the white man and the white metal, and
in the war between the States, Chatham
furnished as many brave soldiers in pro-
portion to population as any county i'll
the State.
We have never doubted that the white
men of Chatham, when they see, as they
must see now, that fusion with the Re-
grace upon the State, put the white men
and women of the Eastern counties UNI
der the heel of the negro, and put the
trusts and the goldbugs i'll office will rise
up and help to restore the supremacy of
the white men in the loved State. Our
friend writes:
Democracy in Chatham is in de-
cidedly better condition than for the
past eight years and the information |
am getting from all sections of the coun-
ty is the most encouraging. Chatham
was one of the first counties that thought
it saw some relief in Populism, but pres
ent indications justify the belief that it
will be the first to discern the terrible
mistake and to return where it belongs,
to the white man and metal"

independence and the entire exemption
of Cuba from any and every obligation
incurred to Spain in her barbarous eI-
forts to subdue the Cubans. Our hon6
required these stipulatiOns in behalf or
Cuba, and all the more because Cuba
has no political recognition and the
United States is her trustee. Yet neither
of these important points are guard
ed or even mentioned!
SO far as we know. the United States
stops war and delivers Cuba to Il joint
commission, to consist equally of Amer
leans and Spaniards with no CubanD,
TO meet, confer and determine the def
mite articles of peace in Paris, the home
ana headquarters of the ROthschilds,
VINO own the greater portion of the
Spanish bonds, including those issued II
subJugate Cuba. What a prospect for
Cuba!
Even if the American commissioners
he not bondsmen to the bond-hoIders.
the bond-infuence will surround aud
subdue them to more or less
extent; and if they and the
Spanish commissioners disagree
evenly and squarely on the
Cuban issues (which is the best to he
hoped for), the joint commissioners will
select an umpire amidst all the seduc-
ton. intrigue and glamour of Paris
and its interested milionaires. What
chance has Cuba under all these circum-
stances? If she secures nominal free
dom and independence. she will be strip
ped to the bone. and be the bond-thralI
of the Spanish blood-mOncy bondites for
ever. And that will be the great boon
and blessing this great Republic will
have conferred on Cuba by her super
serviceabIe interposition.
Instead of holding that all these
points have been determined against
Spain and for Cuba by the war, Mr..
Mckinley meekly or meanly refers them
to Paris and an equal joint commission!
1T is the most outrageous treachery
of the nineteenth century.

LOOK OUT FOR THE SHYLOCKS.

We copy elsewhere from the Norfolk
Pilot and Virginian a vigorous and
striking article on us Treachery Brew
ing?" in which it strongly intimates that
the programme is to saddle upon the Gu
ban people the immense debt which
Spain has piled up in a fruitless attempt
to coerce, starve and butcher the island.
The money was not spent i'll any public
improvements, and it is in no sense Il
debt which ought to be saddled upon
Cuba.
Read the article in the light Of the
bond grabbing syndicate that bought
the election and surrounds Mckinley.
Then lay the paper aside, and when the
Peace Commissioners report it will be
known whether the suggested treachery
is brewing.

DEFINITION OF A ROUND ROBIN.

a correspondent asks: what is 4
round robin?''
The Century Dictionary defines round
robin to be "a written paper, as a peti
tlon, memorial or remonstrance, bearing
number of signatures arranged in Il
circular or concentric form. This de-
vice whereby the order of signing is
concealed is to make all equally re-
sponslble for it," In Boswells Life OF
johnson an incident is told of a lot of
literary folk ut dinner. in 1776. nj
which the epitaph written for DR.. Gold.
smith by DR.. Johnson became the sub
ject of criticism and many changes were
suggested. 1T was desired to get them
before the doctor for his consideration
But the question was, who should have
the courage to propose them to him :
At last it was limited that Their could
be no way so good as that of a round
robin, as the sailors call it, which they
make use of when they enter into a
conspiracy, so as not to let 1t be known
who puts his name first or last to the
paper"
The central idea in the round robin
was to prevent the person to whom the
petition was addressed, knowing the
ring-leader. The petition sent from San
tiago was in no sense round robin, but
was so-called because among sailors and
soldiers the term ''round robin has lost
its original significance and come now
merely to mean remonstrance or petit
ton.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS PEE
SQUARE MILE.

Now that the excitement Of war is over
If is time to look at the net results. The
United States has acquired Porto Rico
with $500 square miles, equal to seven
counties. Cuba has acquired its own
$4,000 square miles and Spain retains
the Philippines with 10000 square
miles. The people of the United States
have acquired the privilege of paying
$3.50, 100000 of expenses of the war up
to date and the bond holders have ac-
quired the bonds they much desired.
Thus, for our $500 square miles in Porto
Rico we have paid 100000 for each
exclusive of the future expenses of main
tanning the army of 27S,O00 men( for
we had only $4,000 regulars when war
broke OUT till the. disarmament. the pen
sions that will follow, and the priceless
lives that have been lost.
Mr.. Jefferson acquired the domain west
Pacific, including Oregon and Washing
ton, a princely domain, for $15,0O0,O0O.
McKinleysm pays $3.50, 100000 for $500
miles of territory. But this has been a
political war from the beginning. Ii
SIMPSONS fleet had been sent to the
Cape Verde Islands (when Cervera's
fleet was there, and fer several weeks
the same day Dewey went to Manila,
both fleets of the enemy could have been
sunk early in May and the war brought
TO an end, by the same means that have
brought peace now. But indecision, de-
lay, political appointments and lucrative
army contracts have marked the whole
war.
The army is still costing us one mil
lion dollars per day. and if at the end OF
two or three months negotiations we
should further acquire the town Of Ma
Mia there will be another $100OOO,OO0
piled up to show for it.
We are buying land high in these days

ENSIGN BAGLEY THE PEACE
MAKER.
Atlanta Constitution.

We are glad to note that the move
ment to commemorate the sacrifice of
North Cardinals brave young ensign
who was the first to fall in the pres
ent war with Spain, has taken definite
shape in the Worth Bagley Monument
Association of Raleigh, y. c., and that
contributions toward the erection of the
pile which is to bear witness to poster
ity of the complete recognition between
the North and the South have COM
menced to pour in from almost every
State III the Union.
Since the last gun of the great Ameri-
can conflict was fired at AppomattoX
there have been many agencies ut work
in this country seeking to heal the wounds
of sectional strife; but we hazard moth
ing in saying that the death of Ensign
Bagley under the peculiar circumstances
which surrounded that event has ac-
complished more toward making this
desired result possible than has aught
else. If it be true that blood is thicker
than water it is also true that blood
is more eloquent than speech: and while
the golden words of fraternal good will
which have been spoken from time to
time in this country during the past
generation have deeply impressed the
popular heart they have only served in
this respect to clear the way for the
browning work of Ensign Bagley. With
the shedding of that young martyrs
blood upon the timbers of the Winslow
there persisted the last vestige of section
al strife in this country. leaving the spir-
it of brotherhood forever dominant in
the hearts of the American people.
Ensign Bagley was not only born in
the State of North Carolina. but he was
born of typical Southern stock His
father, Major William H. Bagley. wore
the gray uniform OF the Confederate sol
der and his maternal grandfather, Gov
ernor Jonathan Worth, was one of the
honOred chief executives of the State Of
North Carolina. For generations back
his ancestors We're natives of the South.
most of them hailing from the old Ta".
heel State: and consequently the South
lays full claim to him.
There is something more than ord-
narily suggestive in the fact that the
first victim of the present war with
Spain should come from the South in
the person of Ensign Bagley. who was
so richly qualified in every way to il
lustrate the South: and, moreover. that
he should come from the State of North
Carolina which gave to the war between
the States its first precious libation in
1861. These condolences are not mere
accidents. Some mysterious providence
seems to have thus directed events for
the purpose of effectually obliterating
the UNPLEASANT memories of the past and
of making the whole nation one in com
radeship, in love and in sympathy.
Such being the case. too much cannot
be subscribed to the fund which is to
commemorate in bronze and marble the
heroic death of Ensign Bagley. Every
State in the Union should eagerly en-
brace the privilege of subscribing to this
worthy cause which not only renresents
the appreciation in which the Republic
holds its brave young martyr. but which
also typities the final and successful work
of the peaccmaker.
