Bleed and Riut At Wilmington.

WILMlNGToN, n. c.. Nov. l0.-Tlis
has been Il day Of riot and bloodshed
here. Early this morning 600 OF the
best white citizens Of the city, headed
by ex-Congressmm, Wadell, armed
with rifles and guns, marched to the
office Of The Daily Record, the negro
paper which reflected on the character
Of white women of the State, broke in
and demolished the plant and set fire
to the building.
Later 500 negroes rushed from the
compress to their homes and the whites
threw out picllcts on each corner. In
the first ward a collision occurred and
a desperate battle was fought. Three
negroes and two whites were killed.
About 1.30 o'clock two white men
passing a house were fired on. A de-
tachmcnt Immediately surrounded the
house and took away five negroes. It
was at first proposed to kill them on
the spot, but it was finally decided TO
put them in jail. Another negro in the
house broke and ran After proceed
ing half square he was shot dead.
The negro who shot Mayo, a white
man, was recognized, it was said, and
a detachment found him at his house.
He was riddled and left dead.
1t is reported that four other negroes
have been killed in the suburbs. The
city is intensely excited and all busi-
ness is suspended.
Many of the best homes in the city
are barricaded and what the night may
bring forth in the matter of ineendiary
fires and general depredations can not
be told.
If a general riot starts tonight, as
every indication now points, whole
sale slaughter of negroes will result.
White reinforcements from several
towns near by arrived this afternoon
on special train.
The mayor and police, mostly ne
groes, resigned tonight and the city is
in the hands of a citizens committee

BLOODY RIOT

Every man in this State old enough
knows the political situation in '7G and
can readily perceive the present exist
ing circumstances in one part of this
county.
Election day ut this, and all the other
polls was practically quiet except at
the usually peaceful and quiet. little
settlement known as Phoenix, where
started disturbance that led to an act
as worthy of condemnation as any on
the pages Of the history OF Il civilized
nation.
1t seems that for some weeks pre-
vious to the general election the Re-
publican leaders Of this county have
been holding secret meetings and pre-
pairing the negroes, most of them too
ignorant TO know their names, for q
''h0t election"
The day before the election one Of
them went the rounds and told the ne
groes to come to Phoenix the next day,
that they were going to vote, and to
bring their guns with them. On the
morning Of the Sth the managers anti
cipated no more than the usual excite
ment connected with an election. The
polls were opened in the upper story of
Mr.. j. w. Watson's store. Presently
Mr.. Tom Tolbert, Jr., appeared and
wanted to put a box up in the same
place in which to vote unregistered
negro Republicans; the managers OBJ
jected and Tolbert said he would vote
them anyhow and took his box-a
pasteboard box with slot in the top
and carried it to the edge of the porch,
downstairs, and proceeded to "vote"
his negroes. The ballot being used
was printed certificate, as follows:

GREAT MEN as TYPES.

There is a world of encourag ement
for the everyday workers. the men
and women who, without hope Of great
reward or substantial recognition, are
faithfully performing each duty as it
presents itself, in what Secretary Long
said at Boston, the other night, of
great men as types. Referring to some
of the most illustrious names in our
history, he said: IT mist be remem-
bered that the greatest among them
are not so much individual exceptions
as types-even Washington and Lin
coln-types of the best prevailing char
acter, manhood and quality of their
time"
What could be finer than this; what
more inspiriting? The men who in
their time fill the worlds eye so COM
pletely as to win places in the temple
Of fame are, after all, but types of
those about them. They are products
Of character and intelligence joined
with opportunity, and no higher praise
can be given than to say of a. man
that he represents the best citizenship
of his generation. when Hobson ten
dered his life on the forlorn hope of
the Merrimac," said Mr.. Long, "the
decks of the ships at Santiago were
crowded with heroes, whose names are
written in water, but who were eager
to give their own lives to win the same
high need of praise and to do the
same noble service for their country
The element OF opportunity was denied
those who remained on the decks of the
ships and Hobson, to whom the COW
eted opportunity came, and who met
it with full measure of courage and
decision, was but type of the best
of his fellows.
Those who are conscientiously doing
the work of each day, are meeting
their obligations to the world. They
are the ones who, if exceptional cppor-
tunity comes, will be ready to improve
it, because they, too, are types Of the
best citizenship.

we pREYFUs INVESTIGATION.

1t is not altogether clear from the
language of the court of cessation.
how far it intends to go in the revision
Of the Dreyfus case. For reasons which
made action imperative. the court an
nounces that it will institute a supple
mentaJy inquiry. at the same time say
ing that there is no ground at the
present moment for deciding on the
public prosecutors application for a
suspension of the penalty. Until the
announcement of this decision it looked
as though the authorities would be true
to the end to the traditions which have
governed proceedings since the hour of
the captains arrest. At the original
trial neither he nor his counsel was all
lowed to see the most important docu-
mentary evidence against him, and
during the proceedings Just closed it
seemed as if an effort We're being made
to devise some plan by which the pris-
oner might be liberated without maxi
ing the public any the wiser as to why
he was convicted in the first place.
II the decision which has now been
reached means that there is to be a
new trial in which the whole ground is
TO be gone over and opportunity afford

ed Capt. Dreyfus to meet evidence with
evidence, and to sift the prosecutors
side Of the case to the bottom, it is all
that either the prisoner or his friends
can ask. A Nmere official finding that
the prisoner did not commit treason
and consequently did not deserve pun
ishment while it would result in Drey-
fus' liberation, would fall far short OF
doing complete justice to one who, in
the Judgment of a great majority Of
people in all parts of the world, is alb
solutely innocent. A new trial in which
the captain shall have the opportunity
which he should have had at the first
hearing, to defend himself, will meet
the ends of justice, and it is to be hoped
that that is what the court had in
mind in announcing that it would in
stitute a supplementary inquiry. The
case has been most dramatic from the
beginning. An impartial trial, even at
this late day, will do much to remove
the stain upon the French govern
ment.

COL. WARiRG.

In the death of Col. Waring the coun-
try loses a man who had accomplished
a vast amount of work in the cause Of
sanitation and one who shrunk from
no duty, however arduous. Col. Warning
went to Cuba on a government mission,
to ascertain the extent of the public
works required to make Havana a clean
city and to improve the condition Of
things generally in the island. He was
exceedingly well equipped for this work
and the report which he was prepared
to make would have been of great
value. The work by which he became
best known to the public was accomp-
lished as street cleaning commissioner
in New York, under the administration
of Mayor Strong. The undertaking of
making New York clean presented
many and great difficulties, but he ac-
complished it by the application of
business and scientific principles. and
his methods have since been accepted
as standards. Colonel Warning had a
positive genius for Improving the physi-
cal conditions Of life in cities, and his
death is to be deplored not only because
Of his fine qualities as man, but be-
cause Of his worth to this country and
the world at large. In going to Cuba
he accepted dangerous commission,
and he met death in the performance of
duty.

THE CASE or HAROLD FREDERIC

THE CASE OF HAROLD FREDERIC
Personal friends of Harold Frederic
and many others, are passing very Sc
we're criticisms upon those who were
responsible for the fact that during the
critical period of his last illness he was
in the hands of Christian Scientists.
Some go so far as to say that Frederic
was killed by Christian Science, and
while there will not be even substan-
tial agreement upon that verdict, the
circumstances attending his death will
excite much interest for a considerable
time to come.
1t would be interesting to know how
so intensely practical a man as Fred
eric, one who during almost the entire
period of an exceptionally active life,
had been accustomed to weigh the COM
parative value Of appearances as well
as of facts, and who had fine apprecia-
ton of the best in all professions and
all departments Of activity, came to a
pons where he was ready to turn his
back upon the skilled medical practi-
TONERS. The New York Times for
which Mr.. Frederic had done much Of
his best work, says: "All his years the
man had lived and fought for the real
tiles, the sanities, and the honesties of
| life. Finally cell or a duct in the
overworked brain gave way and left
him temporarily and partially incapa-
BILE of distinguishing between the true
and the false" E. S. Martin, writing
in Harper's Weekly, says that in his
life there were tragedies and grave
hlemishes, which marred career in
other respects so notable, and Which
doubtless contributed to his premature
collapse under the pressure of hard
work
Evidently there will be a difference
of opinion as to what killed Mr.. Fred
eric, but it is to be hoped that the cir
cumstances of his death will be investi-
gated as thoroughly as possible. Mrs.
Mills, the Christian Science leader who
treated the patient, said at the ooro-
ner's inquest that if she should fall and
break her leg, God would care for
the fractured limb. In other words,
she would depend upon faith to set the
fractured bones. Perhaps Mrs. Mills
is an extremist, even among those of
her own faith.

In the last national campaign, indie
pendents of the type represented by
Carl Schurz were quite generally found
voting the republican ticket, and their
support was very valuable. They did
not give up any degree of independence
but, recognizing an emergency, they,
to use one of their own terms, decided
that it would be the part of wisdom to
take their Mckinley straight" In New
York state, this year. Mr.. Schurz and,
presumably, some other independents,
will support the third ticket, thus prac-
tically throwing away their votes. 1t is
not to be expected that their action will
prove important in affecting the result,
but their intention is interesting be-
cause it affords striking illustration
scientious men who are willing to risk
their votes on ticket which cannot
possibly be elected, and at a time when
such action, if 1T could have any effect
whatever, would promote the chances
of success of the worst element in New
York state politics. The next governor
of New York will be either Col. Roose-
welt or Judge Van Wyok, and men of a
practical turn will choose between these
two but Mr.. Schurz is not always prac-
tical and occasionally, when he scans
the regular nominations, he imagines
himself between the devil and the deep
sea; then he takes to the independent
camp. 1t is a last resort.

that the latter is getting to be gen

varied showing of local news has ever

and for an unregenerate week day
journal, it is simply doing things in
way that beats the band. Further
more, the management of The Wor-

to hear this of The Worcester Spy, and
what is more, believes every word of
it. The latter lively journal is evident
