TIE TEST OF DEMOCRACY.


THE TEST or DEMOCRACY.
News and Observer.
The Texas Dem1eracy has
prescribed q test that will be
propounded to such voters
as desire to taka part in the
primaries. whose democracy
the managers Of the primar-
les may have reason to doubt.
4 be questions to be asked
are:
IL. Are you a democrat
and will you votefor the dem
ocratic nomiuees at the en-
suing election? 2. Did you
vote for the opposition to
either the National democrat
ic ticket nominated at Chica-
90 or the State democratic
ticket nominated a t Fort
Worth at the general election
in November. 1896?
This intended to deny a
voice in the primaries to all
Democrats who bolted either
the State or National ticket
in 1896, and those who are
unwilling to abide by the
conventions of 1898. This
ia a new method in party pol
ICY and it's wisdom is to be
doubted. 1t is the part Of
wisd om not only to invitere.
cruits from other parties,
but to open the doors wide
also to those who have de-
parted from the faith, or, In
other words, to give back

fold upon conditions such at

resolution:

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent.
Shall the most dastardly
piece OF treachery perpetrat-
ed in the nineteenth century
be coDdoned for q cash cousid
eration?. That is the ques-
tion Mr.. Mckinley raised
when he sent Secretary Sher-
man-at last theold man is|
given Something to do, hut
il was a nauseat.ng ioh-to
circulate among his former
colleagues of the Senate, for
the purpose OF informing
them that the admlnistra-
ton had decided, # the naval
court reported that t he
Maine was blown up by in
tention, to demand a cash
indemnity Of Spain. If Mr..
Sherman correctly reported
some of the remarks made
by Senators with whom ne
discussed the matter, Mr..
Mckinley must have blush
ed.
Ever since it has been prac-
tically known that the court
has found unmistakable evil
dence that the Maine was
wrecked ny treachery, t h e
administration has b e'e n
gradually, through divers
newspaper interviews, and by
other methods, preparing tn"
public for this indemnity bus
mess, by dropping hints a.
: bout the injustice OF holding
Spain responsible when i t
disa owed the crime or any
knowledge Of it. and OF thu
probability that the crime
was committed by som e
Spaniard who was an enemy
of the present Spanish Minis
try, etc, etc. The Spanish
charged affairs in Washing
ton also took a hand in the
attempt to have this country
let down easily by officially
stating that no mines or tor
ppdos have ever been planted
in the harhor at Havana
The fact that this fellow wa'
once associated wit h d.
LONE was enough to Oprevcn'
belief OF any statement b.
might make.
There is not the slightes
doubt that any Cverwhelm
ing majority of Congress be
lieyes with a majority of tn
people of the country tina
Spanish blood should be she'
to avenge the poor devil
who we're the victims ofSpa1

desire in Congress to act j
concert with the administra

it cannot be said by the Spa
lard, or other foreigner
that there IS a division
sentiment in the United Sts
tes. This desire may resu|
in Congress allowing the d.
mand for a money indemnit
to be made on Spain, but
will be, even,then, largely b
cause of the belief that Spai
could not pay the indemnit,
and would not if it couI'

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The navy de-
partment takes with great allowance
the report that the Spanish strategists
have succeeded in sending a second
squadron, under Admiral Villamil, to
the West Indies, and that it is off Mar
Unique. Even if the alleged information
did not bear the suspicious earmarlz of
a Madrid date, the department would
not be surprised to hear that Admiral
Villamil, as well as Admiral Cervera,
was with the Spanish force in the
Caribbean sea. The fact that the re-
port came from Madrid satisfies the
officials here chat this is another Span
ish ruse to center our attention on
Martinique while their ships have
passed westward. The report has
it that Admiral Villamil has with him
the cruisers Cisneros, Catalina and
Princess de Austrias. 1t is known,
however, that Villamil is not the adj
miral of these ships, and that at least
one of them, the Cisneros, is on the other
side of the water. 1t is also known
that Admiral Villam1l is subordinate
to Admiral Cervera, whose particular
duties are to command the torpedo de-
stroyers attached to the first Spanish
squadron. He occupies the same atti-

ENSIGN BAGLEY'S FUNERAL.
the War Laid to Rest with Hon
at Raleigh, ". G..

RALEIGH, n. c., May 16.-The body
of Ensign Bagley, who was killed on
the torpedo boat Winslow off CardenaS
last Wednesday,, arrived here at 2 a.
m. 1t was taken at once to the home
of his mother, Mrs. Adelaide Bagley,
widow of the late Maj. w. Ii. Bagley,
a confederate soldier, and daughter of
ex-Gov. Jonathan Worth, deceased.
The body remained at the Bagley
home until p. m, when it was escort
ed to the rotunda of the capitol by the
governors guards, who mounted guard
over it. The funeral ceremonies began
at four o'clock, and the cortege accom-
panying the body to the grave was one
of the most imposing ever assembled
in tins state.
The young officer whose blood was
the first spilled in the present war
was known to nearly everybody in Ra-
leigh, and was very popular. All flags
on public buildings were placed at
half mast, and business was suspend
ed. The public schools were closed,
and the children attended the funeral
in a body.
