troops TO Santiago goes FAR TO-
weird showing that there is the
determination on the part OF the
government TO delay any move
ment on the western part or the
islaI.d of Cuba until fall.
Indeed, it has been half way
conceded all along that the In
vasion of the western part Of
Cuba would be delayed until all
danger from yellow fever and
all other diseases which prevail
there is at an end. This will
rut off the invasion till fall.
In the meantime the troops
will be moved gradually to the
eastern part OF the island, where
there is less danger from dis
ease aud where the troops can
be hardened and disciplined.
1t is thought that this can be
done better in the country OF
the enemy than at home.
The Porto Rican expedition
will go on with all the haste
that can be made, though 1t is
confessed that the movement
uh that island will not be en-
tered into until matters are set
tied at Santiago. Just as soon
as the latter place is taken and
the war vessels are not employ
ed then troops will be sent to
Porto Rico. When this island
Is taken 1t is said that some of
the vessels will be dispatched
To the Canary islands or to the
coast of Spain.
The object is to carry the war
right up to the doors OF the en-
emy with the hope of driving it
to peace. There are many here
who believe this will be the pol
icy of the government, because
it looks as if the people of that
country cannot be convinced of
the hopelessness of their cause
until they see our vessels at
their very doors.
If they can be convinced this
way We may not have to take
Havana with all that it will
cost in the way of money and
blood. 1t is positively asserted
by men who profess TO know
that this is the presidents idea.
In administration circles ii is
not thought that Santiago will
hold out very long. An almost
continuous bombardment of the
forts and batteries along the
coast near and at Santiago has
been kept up now for several
days, the purpose being To an
noy the Spaniards and not only
10 keep them from repairing
The damage done by our fleet,
but also TO lessen the work that
will have to be eventually done.
From all reports the strongest
Notifications that our fleet will
have TO face when the final at
tack is made have been griev-
ously injured.
1t is given out that the au-
thorities care nothing for the
town o. Santiago, either as a
strategic point or otherwise,
and that its main purpose in
concentrating the attack on the
place is to get the feet OF Ger
vera out OF the way. When
this is done, an element of dan
ger 20 US at all times is renoy-
ed. No fear is felt as 10 the
fleet which is said to have sailed
from Cadiz bound for this coun
try. For a month or so we,were
regaled with stories about the
sailing of this feet and much
uneasiness was manifested in
regard to it. Now the story is
old and excites no comment.-I

THE EDUCATORS SHOULD BE
HONORED.

Raleigh, n. c., November %, 1898
To the Editor: / hope you will allow
me the privilege in your columns Of ex-
pressing my hearty approval of the action
of the City School Board in naming the
new school building in honor of DR.. Cal.
vim II. Wiley.
1t is especially pleasing to me, because
it is in accord with my report now in
press.
This report will give considerable space
to DIR. Wiley and his work. / quote
from my manuscript which was prepared
on this subject about the first of October
To see some of my wishes being realized
even before the report comes from the
press is very gratifying indeed
The reports Of DR.. Wiley are not even
to be found in the office of the Superin-
tendent of Public instruction now The
only reports of his to be found as public
property so far as | know are those in
the State Library. For this reason.I shall
publish ut length some of his official
records i'll order that the public of to-
day may know something of the heroic
efforts put forth by this great pioneer
in the public educational work of North
Carolina.
"forty-siX years ago this great man
was travelling, speaking and toiling for
the education of all the white children
of North Carolina.
Il would not for one mment, if l
Guild, detract from or underestimate hon
orS ever bestowed by our people upon our
gallant heroes in battle, or upon distin-
guished sons in the various avocations of
life i'll making up our historic record as
II State of which every true North Car
Gilman is proud; but when | read of the
toll, of the great opposition, and obsta-
cles over come by DR.. Wiley for the
cause of public education. for one want
to place him among the great sons OF
North Carolina.
Il hope at no distant day we may have
within our State some splendid public
schools or Institutions of learning erected
to the memory of the main who labored
so faithfully for thirteen years for popu-
lar education, &C."
Let others follow the example of the
Raleigh schools Here we find Muir
ply School. a Wiley School. Let us have
a Bartlett Yancey School and keep alive
the memory Of these men.

The town is also paving Main street
from the court house to the postoftice, n
distance of two blocks. with vltriied

very glad of the improvement, but there
is some kicking by the taxpayers i'll 9th
er sections of the town, who claim that
the sidewalks, which are in bad condl-
ton. should have been fixed tirst-that
the pedestrian is entitled to as much con
sideration as the Quadruped that draws

those who ride.
Sergeant John S. e. Young, of the
Twelfth United States infantry Irregular
army) passed through last night for his
home in Henderson on Il short furlough.
Sergeant Young was raised in Hender-
son. where he has many relatives, and
was for some time cashier for Messrs.
S. & G.. Watkins. He is the ranking
non-commssioned officer of his regiment
and it is expected he will soon be com
missioned lieutenant. He did good ser
vice in the Cuban war, and his friends
say his promotion is assured.

victory of the University of North Car

comment here upon the resignation of the
officers of the Durham company, and the
appointment of outsiders by Governor
Russell to succeed them.

The Spanish question has reached
the tension point. The report OH the
destruction of the Maine is expected
to be sent to congress any time. The
country has great confidence in the
president acting with wisdom but with
irmness. The time is past for Spain
to make excuses to gain time. This
country is aroused and no trifling is
wanted. The end of Spanish rule in
Cuba is surely very near. Our people
watch the formidable American fleet
concentrating around Cuba and think
they see in it the preparation of this
government for striking Spain's
crumbling power there a blow from
which it will never recover if it shall
need that blow.

From remarks made by the Des
Moines Daily News about the city
editor of the Leader, j. C. Welliver,
buying the Corning Union, we judge
the News fails to properly appreciate
the country editor and his field, for it
says it doesn't know whether to con-
graduate Wr. Welliver or rot and that
his activities demand wider field.
Mr.. Welliver shows his good judgment
in choosing country weekly in pref
erence to city daily on which to exer-
else his talent aud activities. He
doubtless prefers to be proprietor of u
good weekly paper to being drudge in
a daily office. Ability has as good Il
chance to demonstrate itself on the
country weekly with a good field as on
the city daily and we think even better.
Here one gets credit at least for his
successes, while there his very indi-
viduality is often lost.

A recent number OF the Washington
Cd. CD Post says: IF his choice of
presiding officers be any indication,
Speaker Reed thinks more highly Of
the Iowa members than those from any
other state. There are comparatively
few whom he honors in this way, but
more than half of them are from Iowa.
Col. VIZ Hepburn of the Eighth dis
trict is frequently called to preside in
the committee of the whole. Col Hen
derson is called to the chair less often.
Representative Lacey OF the Sixth dis
trict is good presiding officer and
Speaker Reed often trusts the gavel to
him. Other Iowans who are often
called to preside are Representatives
Hall, Dolliyer and Cousins, which is
not bad showing out of delegation
of eleven members in the house.

The board of control bill has passed

scattered, and on the whole lack S

Senator Hanna is the "bogy" man
of the free silverites and they seem to
be afraid that he will rise up before
them in the dark or bring some unac-
countable calamity upon them while
they sleep. If anything should happen
to this country, Hanna, in their imagi-
nation, would be responsible for it.
While they have good reason to fear
his work and management in politics,
yet at the same time it looks childish
for them to profess to be so afraid of
what he may do to them in the future.
Some of them seem to be so afraid of
him that they are afraid to go out alone
at night for fear Hanna might catch
them.-Telegraph.
