AS deliueator of the traditional
Yankee character Matthias Currier
Kimball. more widely known AZ
Yankee Glunn, long stood without a
rival. Kimball mas now practically
retired from the stage, and at ripe
age has settled down to prosaio
life in the little village of kingman,
Me.
Away back in the early forties,
when he was mere lad, little in
cident with Junius Brutus Booth,
the elder started him in his career.
Kimball was only II years old Mt
the time and was mt work as an ush-
err in the Lowell museum. Booth
who wac then in the zenith of his
power and fame, was billed there for

tones, What thinkest thou now, no.

his fearful expression and lodged
back, nearly falling to the floor.
Booth then repeated tho lines:
"'What thinkest thou, Norfolk,

stood glaring at me like a tiger The
audience were holding their breath
for the next turn of affairs. Sudden

OLD GLORY TO WAVE.

patriotic demonstration on Saturday af-
ternoon when they will raise a flag to

Devotion to the flag, not sentimental
devotion that is of day, but senti-

sure attribute of lofty patriotism The
flag that these noble men, worthy TO
rank with the heroes Of Santiago. will
float on the breezes will teach a lesson
in love of country and national union
that will have q more lasting effect than
any instruction in the schools, stimulat-

Smallpox has appeared at several
points in the State, and its dissemination
is to be feared. There is no telling where
it will appear next, and every commu
nifty should be prepared. 1t is such q
that any information as to how to pre-
vent it and how to check its extension
after its establishment ought to be wei

SALARY CHOKES HIS PATRIOTISM.

The Biblical Recorder this week gives
a. well-merited castigation to the editor
Of the Progressive Farmer, and truly
says of its editor:
l..Posing as the guardian of all that is
good, as the Waterman of the peoples
rights the editor of the Progressive
Farmer puts several questions, in order
to cast reflections upon this paper Tht
Biblicaf Recorder has done more ant
suffered more in opposition to monopo
lies and unjust corporations than tn
Farmer ever can do or suffer. The
editor of the Farmer may pose in hi:
editorial columns. but the people o.
North Carolina know that he holds nj
office in the Agricultural Department
which he has allowed TO be prOstitutet
to political el,ls without a serious effor
in protest He holds an office under {
man who was gotten out of another OF
fee because he was unfit and inflicted
upon the one public department which
is designed to have the interest of the
farmers solely at heart. If he did moi
draw a salary under this man. does any
one doubt that his voice would be heard
in loud lamentations? But a salary
chokes his patriotism to death He may
pose; but he has been weighed in the
balances and found wanting
More than this: The editor of the
Progressive Farmer boldly declared that
the proposition of the Populist State
Convention to cooperate with other sill
yer forces was made dishonesty and
for the purpose of putting the Democrats
in hole. and when the Democrats de-
clined it he declared that they were
hypocrites.
Worse still: Posing as an advocate
of the free coinage of silver, the editor
Of the Progressive Farmer, who is a
member of the national Populist execu-
tive committee, recently sent his proxy
to a well known so-called Middle-of-the
Road man, notorious because in the
campaign of 1896 his policy helped for
ward Mark Hanna's plan of campaign
The time to unfrock such pretenders is
at hand. The people are beginning tt
see that the pie brigade has been weigh
ed in the balances and found wanting.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
GEN. GARCIA'S PROTEST..


Gen. Garcia's letter to Gen. Shafter
protesting against the treatment he ha.
received from that officer in the matter
of the surrender and occupation Of San
tiago 'has made" as reported. "a de
cided impre ssion in Washington" ant
well ii might
1t il digniiied and temperate in tone
and is very well described by some o
the authorities in Washington as manly
straightforward and logical" The hes
and sufficient evidence of its generally
right and forceful character, however
consists in the fact that the position as
sumcd by its distinguished writer wa,
recognized by the President and Cabine
as Il proper one. and that they lost NJ
time in giving it their official approval
and in advising Gen. Shafter to adopt ;
more considerable and conciliatory cours,
in dealing with his allies.
There can be no question. we believe
that Gen. Shafter was at fault on al
the POINTS of military and official Ell
quette, whicH were the subjects of Gen
Garcia's letter. He appears to have
practically ignored the Cuban comman
der's presence mt every stage in the pro
ceedings involved in the formal surren
der OF the city. even leaving him to leari
of what was taking place from publ,
report" and the latter would have beer
lacking in the respect due to himself
and the army Of the people whose chiel
representative he was on the momentous
occasion. if he had quietly and tamely
submitted to so marked II slight. IIt
had good grounds for complaint and has
the sympathy of all fair-minded men. il
and out of the army, in the action ht
has taken.
There is more difficulty about the point
raised in the letter as to the municipal
government of Santiago i'll its changed
condition, but it appears to us that Gen
Garcia is right on this point also. He is
careful to say that he would have giVer
his warm cooperation TO any measure
deemed best under military law to hold
the city and To preserve public order
temporarily and until the time comes
to fa6l the solemn pledge of the people
of the United States to establish in Cuba
IA free ami Independent government
He would not object to any government
representing the United States in fact
but he very suggestively and very justly
to expect him and his people to regard
the continuance of Spanish authority
in the city with complacence. "When the
question arises" he says ''of appointing
authorities in Santiago, under the pecu
liar circumstances of our thirty-ycaI
strife against Spanish rule" he cannot
see 'but with the deepest regret" most
naturally. that such authorities are not
elected by the Cuban people, but are the
same ones selected by the Spanish gov
eminent to defend and assert the Spanish
authority against the CubanS. The
American commander in short. not only
excluded the Cuban army from the cap
tured city, as men not to be trusted in
but IN providing for the government OF
the city ignored the Cuban residents
and continued the Spanish officials in
authority proceeding which could be
construed only as rejecting most scri
ously on the intelligence and genera
character of the whole Cuban popula
ton"

iron, and the course Of the action was
traced.
A known quantity Of iron filings was
placed in each of three vessels, which were

had passed through it for a few minutes
and after the addition OF sufficient lime to
Just neutralize the carbonic acid. The ves-
sells were sealed by mercury from contact
by the air, and, after the lapse of a certain
time, the iron dissolved in each case was
determined. In the first case the water had

VALUE OF TORPEDO BOATS.
Shown In Sham Night Attack at Key
Nest.

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Key West, Fla, says: An illustration oc
the disadvantages which fleet at anchor
would have when attacked by torpedo
fotilla was shown Tuesday night, when a
sham attack was made upon the fleet by
five of the torpedo boats here. Seven
powerful searchlights played about each
ship, and lookouts armed with night glass
es kept vigil from all parts of the vessels,
but in spite of this the torpedo boats won
a signal victory.
The Dupont steamed within striking dis
tance of the Iowa before being discovered
and the Ericsson and Winslow gained a
point of vantage between the Indiana and
the Iowa from which they could have
destroyed either or both battle ships
though they would probably have been de-
stroyed themselves soon after launching
their torpedoeS.
Warning has been sent out that crafts
plying about these ships at night do SO at
their own risk. All guns Of every vessel
including the big guns Of the main bat
teries, are loaded at sunset, and any
strange craft venturing near does SO at
her peril, for the ships are taking no risks
of being sunk by an enemys torpedo boat
at night.
A news dispatch boat came in from Ha-
vana, her course carrying her within
a mile or so of the anchored battle
Ships. Searchlights and guns were prompt
ly turned upon her. and had the suspect
altered her course to head for the ships
she would have been fired upon before
reaching the zone where a torpedo boat
Can do its work.
The part of the navy which is assem-
bled here is pressing the preparations for
war with unabated vigor. Orders to re-
move the wooden pilot houses, floating
bridges and all woodwork Of the vessels
not absolutely essential were issued, and
the work has been begun. The removal
Of this woodwork reduces danger from
flying splinters and the chances Of fire
breaking out on board during action. The
material is to BE- sent ashore and slowed in
naval storehouses.
The recent sailing of Spanish warships
from Carthagena, presumably for Cuba,
has created considerable feeling among
many of the officers. as was the case when
the first torpedo flotilla sailed. 1t is in
sisted that prompt action should be taken
to assemble in these waters such dis
play of naval force thoroughly to offset
Spain's coming fleet.
The cable from Dry Tortugas to Key
West has been completed.
