BERrtN, April 1.-THE North Ger

statement has been made in foreign
and here and there in
German papers that in the dispute be
tween Spain and America the German
government has departed from the
line Of strict neutrality.
alt is impossible 20 discover where

which might have the effect OF disturb

bound by a hundred years of uucloud-

the swell suburb OF the city
Within the last two days a number
OF Cubans have been arrested and are

that they have been acting as spies
for the United States government
All sorts of rumors we're in circula-

among newspaper men was that Gen.
eral Lees withdrawal was shrewd
move intended TO show Spain that the
United States means business In the
palace kilograms were shown saying
that the queen regent had agreed
upon the Intervention of Russia; that
Spain would accept $3.50, 600, 900 for
Cuba, end the war and withdraw her

pose of consulting the authorities Of

he will be met by j. g. Post, OF King
fisher, vice president for Oklahoma OF
the Trans ississippi exposition Pre-
liminAry arrangements will be made

Governor Barnes, in speaking OF the
war question, remarked that things
are looking very serious. Oklahoma,
ne said, would do its full duty in case
of war. The territory has one regi-
ment, which is we'll drilled and com
pletely equipped, and which can be
sent TO the front with its quota of men
within ten days after u call. He be-
lieves that the territory can furnish
90. 600 men. The governor reports the
territory in an unusually prosperous
condition, with prospects for enormous
crops this year. Some OF the early
fruits have been injured by frost, but
the grain and late fruits are in the
best OF shape. Kansas City Times

STATE PRESS

The democratic party has been hap
Ply liz selecting Of it's candidates for
congress in North Carolina this year.
Third district, Charles R. Thomas, a
Bryan elector last year; Sixth district,
John ID. Bellamy, a. true silver man;
Ninth district, w. T. Crawford, one of
the most loyal silver men in the state,
with a brilliant and consistent record.
These nominations stand out in bold
relief when cOntrasted with the action
of the pOpulist endorsement of the re-
publican goldbug nominee, Oliver
Dockery. There is no question as to
what party is for principle.-Shelby
Star.
The question is asked, why has
North Carolina gotten SO few appoint
ments at the hands of the president
in the military servlce?" It is init
mated in certain exclusive, circles,
supposed to be we'll informed, that the
distributors of pie prefer to retain a
strong grip on the civil list of officers,
where any ordinary republican can
be made fit rather than ask for mill
tary preferment for u fellow-citi-
zens who are worthy for the service
SO out of 100 of the latter being dem
ocrats. This may not be patriotism,
but it is politics-thoroughly modern
politics as hat science is practiced in
North Carolina--Asheville Citizen.
Let us bury all past prejudices,
therefore, and ONE together heart
and hand in one united effort with
one common purpose, and throw Off
the CALLING and humiliating yoke that
bears upon us. We can do it. Will
we do it? That depends upon our
manner of work. If all who desire a
pure government will work together
they can bring about a mighty change.
The democratic party has a great op-
p~ortunity, and it bears also a CORE
spending great responsibility. Let
us work with a zeal and energy never
yet known man to man, neighbor with
neighbor, and the victory shall be
ours.-Oxford Ledger.
This is a terrible indictment OF the
present regime in North Carolina
terrible in its meaning and in its truth.
In n incisive sentence it states the
whole case for democracy, epitomizes
issues, embOdies results. 1t is bad
enough hat the experiment should
have smirched the name of the state,
foisted upon it a lot OF incompetent
officials, put a premium on ignorance
and brought in its train vice, indecen-
ency and disorder in public and pri-
vate life. But all these could be cas-
lily wiped out by a return to power of
the only party that is at once clean
and competent. A letting down of
the aspirations Of the people is a more
serious matter. 1t is the worst mis-
fortune that could befall a state, and
especially North Carolina 1t is a
misfortune that will take time in the
remedying.-Raleigh News and OBJ
server

THE SOUTHS GREAT ABBEY

When the question Of a Battle Alb
hey for the south was first agitated,
the Messenger thought it best to go to
Atlanta or some city farther south
than Richmond. But it was decided
at Atlanta to put it at Richmond.
This will be probably acquiesced it
willingly. Asheville, Atlanta, Nash
vile or some other city would have
been more in accordance perhaps with
''the eternal fitness Of things" The
Richmond Dispatch discussing the
final decision, says:
Richmond has won in this case by
showing what she has done. Other
cities held out great promises, but we
were in a position to prove our worth
mess by our works. Lee Camp Sol
dier's Home, Lee Camp Hall, and,
more than all, the Jefferson Davis
Museum were all exhibits in the evil
dence that caused the judgment of the
trustees to be given for u.s."
The plan is to raise $780, 900 by sub
ScriptiOnS, and of this sum the most
of it is already subscribed. Mr..
Rouse, of New York, it will be re-
called, promised to contribute $500, 900
in the event of a like sum being
raised. So the needed funds will be
forthcoming to carry out the very
modest plans Of those having charge.
We would like to have seen q greater
undertaking. We would have been
glad if a building vast and elegant, to
cost not less than 81, 200, 900, could
have been erected. 1t really Looks as
if the South of 1898, with a popula-
ton almost double what it was in
1861, could easily raise 81, 900, 900 to
be used as Westminster Abbey of
the south in some respects, while be-
ing also "a repository for all of the
books and manuscripts, works of art,
tattie-feld souvenirs. ETC.. belonging
to the era which cur people took Up
at against .yeIwtelming odds and
kept the field four years"
