HOW TO AVOID WAR.

Mr. Geo. r. Angel, president of the
American Humane Education Society,
is strongly against war. The April
number of his Our Dumb Animals"
abounds TN peace poetry from the great
poets. He takes the ground that the
Spanish government is not responsible
for the destruction of the Maine. Foi
the Society. Mr. Angel issues this ap.
peal:
1.-THE American Humane Education
Society, representing over thirty thous-
and BANDS of Mercy hereby earnestly
asks every clergyman in America to
pray in his home and in his pulpit the
Almighty to save our nation from the
curse of war-and that union prayer
meetings be held so far as possible in
all our churches for the same purpose.
If this is faithfully done we shall have
no war;
Mr.. Angel then gives four propositions
which he calls "a plain common sense
way to settle the Cuban questions as
follows:
cd The starving people of Cuba must
be supplied at the earliest moment with
proper food. clothing and medicines.
IF the Spanish authorities cannot sup
ply them, then the people of the United
States must.
.sThese supplies can be distributed
through the Red Cross or American
and Foreign Consuls, or the churches to
which all these people belong.
Probably Cardinal Gibbons and our
United States Roman Catholic Arch
bishops and Bishops can, if requested,
render much aid.
e't2) Leave the question of compensa-
tion for the Maine to arbitrators.
"(3) In regard to the hest way to
stop the fighting in Cuba let the govern.
ments of Great Britain. France, Italy,
Germany and Russia be consulted.
~ There is not the slightest necessity
for taking five hundred or thousand
millions Of dollars from much needed IN
ternaI improvements. to be used IN killing
perhaps two hundred thousand men be-
longing to two Christian nations

WAR WOULD HELP THE SOUTH.

Senator Morgan does not agree with
the general trend Of sentiment that the
South would lose by a Cuban war. He
is very strongly of the opinion that any
war which we might have with Snain
would not be of long duration and would
result unquestionably in the freedom If
Cuba. He figures that in the develon-
ment of which Cuba would follow imme-
diatey upon her independence the South
would be the greatest gamer. The com
merce with Cuba would he conducted
through Southern ports, and as he fg-
ures it. whatever helps the Southern
ports helps the territory tributary to
them. Then he regards as certain
accompaniment of this progress under
INDEPENDENCE the development of the
material resources Of the South. The
coal and the iron and the timbcr-the
demand for all of these would DE great
and the Southern mines and mills and
forests would be the ones drawn upon
10 meet the demands.
The Iron Age does not agree with
Senator Morgan. II says:
aside from the loss of life and limb
the greatest suffering caused by war
is the enhancement Of prices that gener-
ally follows-that must follow If the cur
rency be deprecated. Out of this adj
vance i'll prices a very few persons make
fortunes. A vast number suffer ex-
tremely. With the rise of prices there
comes, of course, a vast increase in the
disbursements the government, which
means an increase in the public debt,
and after the war payment of the bonds
at their face value. so that in the long
run the taxpayers have paid two prices
for everything the government used, be-
sides practicing the severest economy,
because the rise of prices had increased
their expenditures, while their incomes
had increased little or not at all. 1t is
II mistake to suppose that war necessar-
lily increases business. 1t might create
IL great demand for iron and powder
anu cloth for uniforms and a few other
things. hut it would interrupt business.
and the men in the service of the gov
eminent would spend less than they
would have spent in civil life, and many
prices would rule lower than in peace.
Nor is it true that war creates a neces-
sity for a vast additional supply of cur
rency. The money is not destroyed by
war, and if the money can be kept in suf-
ficiently active circulation the supply Of
peace may be quite sufficient for war.
In 1861 the banks of New York. Boston
and Philadelphia advanced $5,000000
every six days to the government, which
discussed it all over the country. and
in week the money was back in the
again.

AN OBJECT LESSON FOR WHITE RULE.

The Scotland Neck Commonwealth
publishes Il letter this week from a
subscriber, paying mp his subscription
and saying:
You will please discontinue the paper
not that / do not want to take it,
but for the simple reason our postoffice
has gone into the hands of a negro.
i like the paper very much and
would like TO have it in my home, but
for the reason stated above | want it
discontinued
There are now five negro postmasters
IN Halifax county, and there will be one
more as soon as the negro recently APP
pointed can sell out his bar-room and
qualify. There is not Il population of
prouder or better men in the South
and to subject them to negro officials is
n result Of Republican rule that will
give pause to every self-respecting white
man who, either by voting for Mckinley
or cooperating with Republicans in
State matters, has helped to make such
conditions possible.
There are fresh object lessons every
day to convince the patriotic white men
of the State that they must unite to put
an end to the domination of the negro
and the white men who for selfish ends
uses him to bring confusion and shame
upon the State.

TELEPHONE PROFITS.

Some months ago when the Railroad
Commission reduced the rental on tele.
phones in North Carolina. the cry went
mp that such action would ruin the tsio-
phone companies. The Interstate Tel
ephone Company, of Durham, punctur-
ed that fable of showing that the IA te
fixed was high enough, and agreeing to
furnish telephone service and make
money at it at the rate established by
the Commission. Later the Commission
lodged behind silly opinion OF the
Attorney General, and let the rates re-
main at the old high rate.
For the information Of those who
were deceived by the cries of the big
telephone companies, we give the follow
ing statement of the business Of the
American Bell Telephone Company pre-
sented to the directors ut a recent meet
ing:
''The annual report shows a total in
come of $5,130,S44, MS compared with
81. 327, 324 in 1896. The expenses for
1914 We're poOl,llU, i'll loJO, NbtO. RI.
The net income in 1897 was 81, 16q.67I:
in 1896, $3,3S3, $50. Dividends for 1897
were $685., 94S; for 1896, $3.361 ,233.
Surplus, 1897, $4S6, 726; for 1896, 3d.
347 Total surplus, S2,590,521 increase,
S349,510. The balancesheet of the COM
pany OF December 81, 1897. shows total
assets of $60,779,S41, against $55, 503.-
723 in 1896, and reserve Of $4,025,62
in addition TO the surplus of $780,
521."
And yet, in the face of this report
TO the directors Of the company, those
who sought TO reduce the telephone rem
tails were declared to be 'wrecllers of
property and actively engaged in ''driv-
ing capital from the State" Well, so
far as we are concerned, as long as sucn
home capitalists as l.. A. Carr. J. s.
Carr, George Watts and Il. n. Duke will
furnish just as good service for less
money, we prefer to give them the OPP
portunity.

THE SITUATION THIS MORNING.

+ A summing up Of the spirit and letter
| Of the nights dispatches, il 1t discover u
graver, likewise discloses q clearer out
look.
The lines clean-cut from irreleyancy
are:
/ Spain has refused Americas de-
mand and is still disposed TO do so.
If Mr.. Mckinley has not, conse-
nlent upon such refusal, sent an nlti'
matum as he seems not to have done
from the status quo of the American
and Spanish Ministers. he has, neverthe
less. from the tone of advices from the
White House, implied that by way of
answer he WILL in his message of next
week, admitting his inability further
TO preserve peace, either recommend as
last resort some sort of intervention
or leave the whole matter to Congress.
3. The temper of Congress has in no
wise grown softer. and the temper of
the people has grown, perhaps, more
pronounced.
These conditions seeming TO be the
vital features of the situation this morn
ing, certainly it would seem that Ameri-
ca and Spain are about to meet in bat
tie.
In human calculation. it would seem
that there could he only one avenue of
escape from war, namely through the
final conclusion upon Spain's part that.
without fight, she will give freedom
to Cuba. Although England has through
the London Times advised her to do
this, its realization under the stress Of
public opinion in Spain would seem we'll
nigh impossible. And yet is not impos-
siblc.
Finally, then. the American citizen is
opening his eyes upon a panorama such
as the world never saw. This continent
of 100000 begins to move as one
mass with the mightiness of noun
tains: it's infinite heart begins to swell
with a swell like unto the heave of the
ocean. 1t is not at the word of SOY
ereign but it is by the unanimous agree
ment Of 70000,000' sovereigns that it
moves
1t is a spectacle ais limitless in sweep
as it is luminous with the latest light
that God has given to mantle light OF
Liberty. And yet it took the frightful
flash of the Maine explosion to discover
to this people their plain duty toward
an island full of patriots who in sight Of
us ask only for freedom-who do more
who fight for it. The heart of this con
tinent began to house the memory of
those sailorlads from the moment their
bodies were lost TO their country. In
that memory were kindled the fires of
anger, of pity and of grief
That fire has at last Mechanically burst
from the bowels of the States until the
sky is crimson with the promise of free
dom to Cuba.
Let the little. island look which way
She will, it IS one light from the Sierras
to the Blue Ridge and Alleghanies with
the Rockies hand in hand.
And after all, the most ennobling
thought should he that with spirit that
hath Wanted not itself but preferred the
ways of peace, there is, therefore, pre-
sented now for us to see that highest
courage which is born of conviction and
calmness, that blindness to consequence
which is wombed in the great humani-
ties.
