WAR IS IMMINENT.

Our full Geographic dispatches show
that we are on the brink of war, which
can only be averted by the evacuation
of Cuba by the Spanish troops, unless
the Spanish authorities recede from Their
position, we may expect the hostilities
to begin before the week closes.
There can be but one end to the wai
which will be waged on our part with nc
selfish ends in view, and with no aggran-
dizement or territorial advantage to this
country. There is not in recorded his
tory u case where any people have
sought more earnestly to avoid war
than the American people. The negotia.
irons have been pending for more thar
three wears, and the American govern
ment has exhausted every effort to stoI
the starvation of men, women and chill
dren at our doors by peaceful means
But for@the murder of American sailon
on the Maine, the issue might have beer
delayed. That dastarlly deed made il
national duty 10. demand the freedom
of Cuba.
Up to yesterday, there. were difference,
as to the causes of war; and the resolu
tions that Congress ought to pass. From
to-day until Cuba is free, there will be
but one voice, but one party, but one
country. The national honor aud til,
success of our cause is paramount &c
everything else in this crisis of the ma
ton.
There is widespread belief that at tho
last moment Spain will recede. Let us
hope so. The conditions do not seem to
warrant the hope. The political affairs
OF Spain seem to make it necessary t.
make a show OF force in order to pre-
vent revolution at home. 1t may be thai
the Sagasta government will recede with
in twenty -four hours after receiving tn,
message Of the President. IL so, til,
world will rejoice If not, it is only .
question of a few weeks when Cuba
Western hemisphere will be at an end
The defeat of Spain will be accom-
plished with comparative ease. Excep
in Havana and few other cities. the
sovereignty of Spain is already ended
Havana cannot live two weeks withou
provisions. The insurgents will not per
nit the citizens to get food ON the island
the American navy will prevent the i'm
portation of food from abroad. TIL,
landing Of American troops ON that Dor
ton of the island, which is in the hand
of the insurgents, will be gladly halle
by the Oubans. The march on land /
Havana will be triumphal. The uava
encounter may be more serious, but
can have no other termination than vi,
tory for the American fleet, which wi
float the American flag over the Morr
Castle.
If there must be war, let it be sharl
short and incisive.,
If the ideal man is selected to lead I'll
forces in Cuba, Fitzhugh Lee will
selected. He has already said thu
10000 men can drive the spaniar(
from the island.

There is now a contest going
on in The Populist party
between those who want co-opera-
ton with the silver men and those who
want to make the Populist party per-
manent annex of the Republican gold
party. 1t is the avowed intention oil
those who put silver as the paramount
issue to make a tender to all silver men
to unite upon joint ticket to defeat the
Republicans, Pritchard Populists, and all
other goldbugs. In this contest the men
who are making il are actuated by the
faith that if the principles Of which Bry-
an is the exponent are ever made into
statutes, the time has come when wal
and discussions must cease between

The best men of both parties have
been seeking to find common ground
upon which they could meet and fight
the enemy of everything that IS de-
cent in State and national government.
Is there such "a common ground? If so,
is there patEotism enough i'll the two
parties to occupy it? Upon the affirm;-
tive answer to this question depends
more than who shall hold the OFFICES.
Beyond wanting honest and clean men
in office the people care little about
who records their deeds and collects their
taxes. They care vast deal about the
laws under which they live. Their ex-
perienee under Republican rule in 1869

Carolina and b;-metallisin. There are
indications now that many of them are
anxious to help to undo all that has
been done toward negro domination. and
to unite the forces that elected Vance
in 1876. Many Populists, some who
have heretofore been regarded as most
hostile to the Democratic party, now
openly declare that the logic of the stu

for Bryan in 1896 ought to act together

Up to 1892 the white men of the State,
;by settling their differences inside the
party lines and presenting united front
at the polls, were able, by Il small margin
and earnest work, to prevent the sue
cess of the negroes and the unpatriotc
white men who accepted their dictation.
In that year upon the nomination of
cleveland, more than forty thousand
men who had been Democrats Joined
the Populist party and thus made the
Democratic the minority party in the
State. later the Populists and the Re
publicans voted together in State affairs,
with the deplorable result SO we'll
known. to ALL In 1896 when the Demo
Gratis nominated Bryan for President,
the Populists joined heartily in his sup
port. That coming together of the
white voters of the State to advance the
paramount" issue in American politics
taught VARIABLE lesson to all. 1t
made clear the fact that the fusion
between Republicans and Populists was
destructive alike of the cause of ibi-
metallism and decent government in
North Carolina. The best element of
both parties saw that every dictate of
patriotism demanded joining hands to
redeem the State from negro rule and
n-dom:nation.

Feasibility of securing good local govern
ment in North Carolina If the negro
vote is relied upon to secure it, While
had government imposes burdens upon
thc negro as we'll as upon the white
man. he belongs to the only race known
among men where the vicious and the
ignorant dominate the best and most
intelligent portion Of the race. The
negro vote in North Carolina is always
cast for Republican success, aud Re

means putting the negro over the white
