The very best friends the negroes
have ever had were not the riotous

Office and pelf, but the white men who
built the state, gave it civilization and
preserved it until the vandal and demi-
wolf and general disorganizer made his
appearance. The white men today
wish no harm, no suffering, no poverty
to the deserving part Of the negro race.
They show this every day in their
treatment Of that race. But they are
not willing to be dominated by them,
and to wear the yoke of their fabricat-
ing. They will not long permit the
present state of things in North Car

the right of revolution, and when law
lessness and robberies and bad, malign

cost to make it 5 $4,000. We make a

of it:
THE girth which secures the saddle
in place is woven from horses names
by native artisans, and is fully eight
inches broad. The reins, ~martingale,
and whip are composed of solid silver
in woven strands. The headstaI is
covered with luted silver, with large
silver rosettes at the side, and an elab-
crate nose piece, with a silver chain
under the jaw. The bride reinS and
accessories weigh about II pounds"
There is a lev English invention
called the "Telescriptor." 1t is in

It prints the message, and even when
the person to receive is absent, so he
can find it when he returns. A de-
scription says:
"The same instrument is used both
as a receiver and transmitter, and the
apparatus at both ends of the line re-
cords the message which is sent. A
perfect copy is thus made automatical-
ly by the very act of sending and may
be retained like copies in a letter

to his government, and according to
dates given at different times, but was
ahead of the capture Of Omdurman by
some fourteen days. He is known in
the Egyptian war as "Sirdar." The
New York Tribune announcing the fail
of the city, says:
Without a hitch OF a check or a
single setback the Sirdar's amazing
mechanism of blood n iron has
moved on its way to the Elephant
Trunk" at the fork of the Nile. The
Dervishes are scattered or slaughtered.
The Khalifa is a fugitive. The Cross
of ST. George burns clear and bright
upon the desert air above the Mahdi's
tomb at Omdurman, and above the
spot where Gordon died, in the midst
of hat decolate waste where once
stood the almost imperial city Of Khar-
toum. 1t has been a superb campaign,
for whose like in those regions we
must go back just t~wenty-one years to
a day, when Gordon, clad in cloth Of
gold and welding unchallenged power
Of life and death v uncounted my
riads, swept like a veritable god of war
from leila to Darfur, and won from the
astounded and vanquished Dervishes
the name of The ThunderbOlt. For its
antitheis we need not go back 81 far.
Today, from the Delta TO the
Fork, yes, and to the Lakes, and to its

so let it remain forever. That, we
sincerely trust, will be the immediate
and lasting result of Sir Herbert
Kitchener's campaign. There is no use
in mincing matters or in setting up
pretences. England is in Egypt, and
in Egypt she should stay, and in all
the vast domain that once was
Egypt's."
The British troops never fail to fight
well. They have no superiors on the
globe. They fought splendidly under
Kitchener at Atbara, last year, and at
Dongola, and but the other day near
Omdurman, by which it will probably
be designated in history.
