THE "NIGGEK" CRY WON'T WORK.
The Democratic politicians and
papers are attempting to justify their
backsliding from the fa;th which
they claimed was IN them during the
campaign Of 1896 upon the pretense
that they want "a good State gov
erpment." To properly estimate
their sincerity in their loud preten-
siOns, it must be borne in mind that
they deliberately turned down the
proposition made by the Peoples
Party Convention for co operative
fight to elect nine fee silver Con-
gressmen and State Legislature
pledged to certain necessary legisla-
ton in the interests of the people.
Such cooperative fight would have
meant victory for a white govern
ment by the people instead of by
railroad corporations and trusts. But
it was not the desire of the railroad
lawyer and Cleveland Nj Kinley
Democratic crowd that controlled
the recent so-called Democratic con-
vention that such a victory as this
should be won, hence they turned
down the proposition made to them
by the Peoples party. But in turn
ing down this eminently fair propo-
sition, which was nothing more nor
less than an offer from the Peoples
Party to aid them in securing the re-
form legislation for which Bryan
and the true free silver Democrats
and Peoples Party fought in the last
campaign, they knew it was necessa-
ry to try to trump up some issue that
would keep the true Bryan Demo-
Gratis from deserving the leadership
OF this gold and monopoly crowd.
What was SO handy for this purpose
as their old-time negro scarecrow ?

MAJOR BUTLER HONORED.

We take the following paragraph
from the staff correspondence at
Jacksonville, Fla, to the News and
Observer of Aug. Goth.
1.-TWO of the majors of the first N
G. regiment have been appointed to
positions of trust and honor recently.
Major George E. Butler, major of
the Third battalion, has, been an
pointed summary court for the reg
iment. This court takes the place
of the field officers court, which was
abolished by act of Congress on June
Is. He has already entered upon
his duties. Major w. G. Smith, of
the First battalion, has been appoint-
ed court to try all cases that orig
mate in the hospital corps of the
Second division. Both appoint
msnts show the popularity Of these

The Peoples Party was DESTROYS of
cooperating with the Democrats in
this campaign to secure q victory for
the white man and the white metal,
and made them q proposition to this
effect, which was turned down by
the Clevelandites and Mckinley
Democrats who controlled the recent
Democratic State Convention and
the organic .,ion of the
party. But strange to say, this very
same crowd has made the .swhite

the above facts if this is not a hypo-
critical plea, then we fail to know
the definition Of hypocrisy.

A despatch from Washington says:
The Navy Department officials, ac-
cepting the view that Cervera is in
Santiago Harbor, are of the opinion
that he is likely to remain there for a
long time, weeks or months perhaps.
A study of the defences of the harbor
and Typographical features has con-
vinced the experts that to undertake
to carry so well fortified e place by
storm from the sea and to attack the
fleet there would subject our forces to
an unwarrantable risk. Torpedoes
and guns render it practically i'm
pregnable. The effort, therefore,
probably will be made to keep Ger
vera inside Santiago until starvation
causes the surrender of the squadron
and the forts or compels the ships of
the Spanish Admiral to come out and
fight.

national reputation as temperance
workers, will be among the speakers.

Congressman William w. Grout.

tive experience which will admit of
his becoming a valuable member in
Congress for some time at least. No
new Representative can be sent who
will be able to accomplish the same
amount Of work as more expert
enced man. General Grout has been
tried and found to be a hard, diligent
worker. He has watched out for the
interests of his constituents and has
come to be well known in Congress
until it can now be truly said that he
is one of the strong men of the House.
He is on the Committee on Appro-
priations, one of the most select and
important committees of the House,
and is chairman of the Com mittee on
Expenditures in the War Department
at this time an important one, and he
is in close touch with the administra-
ton. Gen. Grout is regarded at the
Capitol as ? gentleman of the highest
integrity, with sound judgement and
rare common sense. He is regarded as
a worker, but does not try to see how
many bills he can introduce, or how
often he can speak, and, unlike many
members in Congress, commands in
stant attention when he addresses the
House. 1t is said that he rarely misses
roll call but is always at his post of
duty, and any OF his constituents, re-
gardless of who they are or what po-
sition they occupy, who ask favors of
him always find him ready to listen to
them and easily interested in their
behalf.
Some of the state papers are claim
ing that there was an agreement on
the part of General Grout and his
friends that when he received the
nomination two years ago he was not
again to be candidate for the office.
That there was no such understanding
it is scarcely necessary to state, for
by this it would seem that he only re-
ceived the nomination at that time
by means of such an agreement, while
everyone knows that there was
scarcely any opposition whatever
brought against him.
We do not think that Gen. Grout
has any desire to thrust himself upon
the people if the time has come when
they wish him to retire, or if they feel
that someone else could better fill his
, place, but we do believe that a large
majority of the voters of the Second
District will be found in opposition to
the idea of turning down a man who
has served them we'll and faithfully,
for new man at such critical time
as this when the country needs the
counsel of its best and most expert
enced legislators.

CUBA AND THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is timely just now to call to view
Spain's cruel rule in the Philippines,
which has up to the present been
largely obscured by the atrocities
heaped upon Cuba, nearer home.
But as a matter of fact, the cruelties
practiced upon the Philippine island
ers by the despotic dons have been
much wider in scope and more inhu
man in detail than were ever known
in Cuba. 1t is to be recollected that
the population of Cuba is not much
above million and half, while that
of the Philippine islands is over sew
en- millions, so that if we are to esti
mate cruelty in the bulk the story of
these islands under Spanish rule is far
more disgraceful than that of Cuba,
and the details even more revolving.
That the natives should have more
than once revolted from the oppres
sion and cruelty prac ticed upon them
might well have been expected. They
rose against the Spaniards in 1872,
the same year that Cube was in re-
volt, but being put down the atroci
| ties practiced upon them were simply
doubled, cruelties being practiced
that are almost too revolving to be
mentioned.
The day of release from persecution
cannot dawn too soon in the Philip
pines. Whatever may be the weak
nesses and sins of the much mixed
population of the islands-and un-
doubtedly they are many-Spanish
Injustice and cruelty are largely re-
sponsible for them. The Philippine
people are entitled to have fair
chance for future progress, whatever
may be the outcome of the war situa-
tion.-Globe.

The first detachment of the Philip
pine relief expedition, 1900 strong,
sailed for Manila Wednesday after
noon, under command of Gen. Ander-
son. Twelve hundred of this number
are on the naval supply ship City of
Pekin, and the remainder are appor-
toned to the two transports, Sydney
and Australia. They will proceed at
once to Honolulu, there to be joined
by the cruiser Charleston and con-
voyed to Manila Harbor. More troops
will follow at once.

A courier direct from Brig. Gen.
Rafael de Cardenas, commander of
the insurgent forces in Havana prov
ince reports that there has been no
difficulty in maintaining communica-
ton between the coast and the inte-
rior. Gen. Cardenas has been enroll
ing men at the rate of 20 per day,
most of them coming from Havana
city. The insurgent forces in that
province now number 5000, and are
better mounted and armed than ever
before. They move almost up to the
outskirts of the city. According to
the courier, the Spaniards have mass
ed their troops in the cities and on
the coast, abandoning offensive oper-
ations against the Cubans. The in
surgents are pinched for food, but
will wait eagerly for the order to CO.
operate with the United States Army
in movement against the Spanish
troops.
