The game is not to waste lives and
lose ships in trying to storm Havana,
but to starve it oct by an effective
blockade. But when that strong fleet
on the way now from Spain arrives it
will give the blockade business serious

ships and has fourteen auxiliary cruis-
ers armored. 1t is we'll to keep your
Eye on Spain, for it is an old hard
fighter. 1t is reported from Havana
that even now the inhabitants do not
expect war, but if it comes that the
Americans will be badly licked.
There is a movement between the
governors of the two Virginias to unite
the troops Of the two states and have
them commanded by General Lee.
Whatever may be said of failures in
the management, now that war is at
the door, there will be one eager. united
patriotic people seeking peace by way
of shotted cannon and tremendous
warships.
The United States We're not ready
for war, but they a v got ready very
fast, and if the war lasts a few months
they will have a strong army and much

TRYING TO MANUFACTURE FUSION
SENTIMENT.

The disgusting fusion talk keeps up.
clans, with an eye pon the feed-trough,
may talk fusion between democrats and
the kickers under the command Of But
Ter, but it will never come, we hope. If
it should come, however, under the
bargain and sale arrangement, there
will be more Independent voting by
the real democrats this year than was
ever seen before in this goodly old
state. The democrats would do well
to stop talking as to a dicker if they
do not desire to practically paralyZe
the party and render success impossi-
BILE. We a conceive of nc contingent
cy, of no storm and stress of party,
that will induce, or ought to induce,
the old b~attle-worn democrats to low
er their flag and go into the trading
business with deserters and camp fol-
lowers and tricksters. If we had ever
voted for a republican, and if we wish
ed to visit injury upon the old party
that had SO stoutly fought through
fifty campaigns for principles and hon
or and glory, we would be hot for a dick
er and would hang out the degraded
standard, "VictOry at any cost" Think
of Russell and Butler and Mott and
Sotho Wilson and the others of the
mixed gang leading the democracy.
n fixing up their principles and die
tating their course of action for them.
That would be enough to make a we'll
democrat sick, and we'll nigh sick unto
political death. Think of the grand
old party Of he past bargaining and
swapping and stultifying and begging
aims from the traders who have
brought North Carolina to it's present
depressed, debased condition. Think of
dragging the honest and faithful Old
Mother into the dust and dirt and filth
Of the political shambles that a tenn
porary victory may perchance be Sc
cured. None of it for us at least.
The newspapers Of the party have al
most unanimously antagonized all
talk of fusion as a possibility, and have
earnestly fought for a straight-Out
campaign. We uppos they were hon
est. The Messenger from time to time
has laid many opinions of the state
press before it's eader tina they
might see how stern, %unyielding was
the talk, n how earnest the news
papers were for a fair, square, open,
brave fight for principles. 1t will not
do for those who have been so earnest
to whip aroun now and say let us
fuse for pie and fixings. The popu-
lists will get the lions share if you do.

and War.

It is said that those who are wage
earners in Jul New England states are
much more eager than any other class
to nave a war, and this on the assump-
ton that it WOULD afford them not a
little interest and excitement without
personal loss, since the loss would only
come to those who represented the cap
ItallSt class. No line of reasoning could
be more than this. The
capitalists may suffer something from
a decline in income, but he can ordan-
ardly support himself for some time up
on his accumulated wealth. If he has
money thai he wishes to invest, he can
ind, perhaps, prof sources for so
doing by putting it in coal mines or
timber lands in the dominion of Can
ada, where war rOuble will not inter-
fere with the industry of the people;
or he may invest it i'm railways or
manufactures in Mexico or South
America, or, as to that matter, in Eu-
rope, drawing His income regularly, no
matter o long Spain and the United
States may be struggling to damage
each other.
The w~age-earner has merely his head
and his and with which to obtain his
daily bread, and this has to be earned
at the place where the head and hands
are located II the great building
trade, for example, makes only about
half the demand during the coming
summer that it did last summer for
mechanics of various classes. those
who are nj of a job cannot readily
take themselves and their families else

country, there is no aso to suppose
they could do better elsewhere than
they can do here. The ones who are

Ninety-fve per cent. of the demo-
cratic press of the state has already
risen up and vigorously condemned any
fusion with the trading populists. But
Senator Butler is a sly fox. and there
are some democrats under the power of
a strong delusion, who will be led to
put their trust in his treacherous
promises.-Charlotte Observer.
North Carolina has a great battle Of
her own to fight during the next few
months, and this fact should not be
overlooked to fight during the next few
months. the democrats, must needs get
grand old state from the set that has
DETAINED her fair name long enough
Every honest man in the state will have
a duty to perform in this battle. And if
he loves his state he will not shirk that
duty.-Wilkesboro Hustler.
The most patriotic and wisest men in
the democratic party, as Wen as in the
populist party, see That there is no
ment in North Carolina if the negro
vote is relied upon to secure it. While
bad government imposes burdens upon
the 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. and republican
success in North Carolina means put
ting the negro over the white man
Raleigh News and observer
The fusionists never do anything right
They appear to be getting tired of their
school law and it is said that Superin-
tendent Mebane proposes to ask the next
legislature to pass another bill. Here
is the gist of it: 1T embodies a change
in the public school law in regard tC
committeeman. Instead of three white
and two colored committeeman as al
present, there are to be three white and
three colored committeeman, and tht
white committeeman will control the
white school and the colored men tbs
colored schools. except that the count!
supervisor and the county board OF edu'
cation will control and have oversight o
the funds belonging to the coloret
schools" In other words, change i
back like the democrats fixed it nearl!
twenty years ago-let the white folk:
run their schools and give the negToe:
the same privilege. The fusionists have

the democrats have done. This is {

A friend some days ago said to us
that the state guard could be ordered
out Of the United States if the war
came with Spain. We said that we
thought that this was an error-that
the state troops could not be sent be
yond the American union. The reply
was that an article recently read gave
the law and that the president could
compel them to go wherever he order
ed. We notice that the Raleigh Post
quotes the constitution to the effect
that the government can only call on
the militia of the states to execute the
laws of the union, suppress insurrec-
tions and repel invasions. This has
been construed not to include invading
a foreign country. The state guard or
militia can be used in any of the states,
but cannot be carried out of the United
States to invade or fight in foreign ter
ritory.'

THE E2'EFECTS OF TALK ON
BUSINESS.

The war excitement is having a bad
effect upon business everywhere. 1t
mas stopped a large number of factor
les and other enterprises that had been
planned, bargained for or begun. 1t
has put S~tagnatiOn upon trade to a
considerable extent. 1t has even stop
ped house building to some extent. In
an addition it has sent through New
England a tremendous series of shivers
like unto the worse form of agues of
the old shaking kind. There is some
- hing rniy like a panic up north. Bust
ness circles are shaking from the
Spanish scare. This is hardly an ex-
rrayagant statement in view of reports
sent out. Take this from the leading
democratic newspaper in New Eng
Fznd. The Boston Globe. 1t says:
III is reported that orders for goods
have been cut in certain New England
xz4e,len and worsted mills because a
say managers are afflicted with a fool
zsh war scare. In Rhode Island, &C
cs,riing to rumOr, orders for goods uSeu
Tnr the clothing of men, women anu
children, have been Cancelled in seVeral
Instances. Certain selling agents In
Saxy York. Philadelphia and other dis
xribusing cities are said to be war
scared. They state that 1t is no. a
question of trade depression OF raining
on in the demand for any particular
Kinds of goods, but that they want 10
xsap stock down to the lowest leVei.
III these reports are true, it indicates
not only a van of courage but a lack
ST sound reasoning.
The Messenger recently copied a
r.o~o TNJA bi1o6o1nhia RP-
lard to the effect that there was a
sarser cancellation of contracts among
b patrons of manufacturers, and
that a great contraction in business
was Just ahead. Other newspapers
are reporting events and they tell the
same story of panicy feeling and de-
EreSsed business. The last issue of the
philadelphia American, a highly
xakIe and able weekly %journel, says:
LIN the exile trades Of this city
and New England business was never
worse. This is not what we hear in
Hyublic, not what We read in print, Tor
nj we did there would be many shat-
asred credits and a great increase or
Ma But it is the plant
shat we hear on all sides from textile
manufacturers, and not from sore
heads either, but Mckinley republicans
who were most optimistic a year
aeo Cancellations of or
: 5ers were never so numerous before.
What is more, it is not only canceila-
:eions of orders that has been expert
6 -nced. Goods sent out of the factory
and warehouse are being sent back IN
nc small proportions and on the ground
af some inferiority in fabrication or
without other excuse tina that there
Is no demand and such goods cannon
be sold. And SO manufacturers are
in despair"
This is the way a war scare effects
business. How will it be when war has
actually begun?

VHEAMERICAN NAVAL STRENGTH

The strength of the American navy
ut this perillous hour is of interest to
1x1r readers. Upon it's strength, activ-
Izy, and good management as we'll as
crave handling depend most important
interest and results. Thus far fifty
rarce vessels of different kinds have
oxen added to the American navy. The
government has chartered -four swift
ay7ean liners-St. Paul, st. Louis, New
York and Participating 10000 a day.
This will show two things-how costly
sszr as, and how much real use OF ser
ETce there is in the system Of auxiliary
eroised construction. Here is a list

IN addition there are two battleships

ships of the first class. One OF these
IS TO be named after the Inflated Maine
destroyed in time Of peace by the

THE cruiser obtained not included

This is all very encouraging, but re-
tina many included in the
above enumeration are not ready now
and will not De ready for war in

for use. Already the $50, 900, 900 appro-
