Something Rotten.

Statesville Landmark.
1t is very evident that the rotten
and corrupt gang who control
affairs at Raleigh do not intend that
the public shall know the condition
of affairs at the penitentiary-the
know that an investigation will dis
close all that the Democrats have
charged and more Mr.. Simmons,
rs citizen and taxpayer, had per-
feet right to the information he
asked for, and his request was
couched in courteous terms But the
pot bellied blackguard who disgraces
the State as it's Governor shows the
stuff he is ma lie OF by writing him an
insulting letter There is something
in the penitentiary management that
cannot bear the light of day or there
would not be such desperate effort
to keep it covered up. But the peo-
pile will know the facts and have an
opportunity to pass upon them
before election day.

bleeding army back in rout upon
your capital, and has she not de-

US of the battle OF SDottsylvania and
Wilderness, when the rebels resisted
an assault for some days, and
Grants loss was 8 TIA killed, Al $50

had ever before been killed, wounded,
and missing in any battle on this
continent. This was achieved by an
army of Southern gentlemen, direc-

Indications of Riottng and Threats of
Massacre-Much Apprehension is
Felt-United States Distrusts
the Insurgent Leader.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Instructions
have been sent the military and naval
commanders at the Philippines to
promptly suppress the insurgent forces
under Aguinaldo if there should ap-
pear anything like riotine. The or
ders were the result of information
received from Rome stating that the
Papal authorities had advices from
Manila that Aguinaldo had threaten
ed to kill the Bishop of Cavite. The
threats OF massacre were unmistaka-
bic. Much apprehension is felt. The
appeal for protection was a surprise to
the department authorities. who TODAY
make no attempt at secrecy of their
dlstrust of the insurgent leader.

The Union-Republican complains
that THE SENTINEL is not pitching
into the present Democratic city ad-
ministration as it did into the late
Republican city administration. In
the caption to it's article our con-
temporary unwittingly furnishes the
reason, viz: "Things are not as they
used to be-" There is marked i'm
provement already and it will be
more manifest after the Democrats
obtain complete control of the city
government-at theexpiration Of the
terms of the remaining Republican
officials. And they do say, too, that
the aforesaid remaining Republican
officials have mended their licks
nightly since the Democrats took
charge.

IT begins to look as if the Pie
Eater and Pie-Hunter, now acting
as conveys TO the Linney expedition,
will not be able to effect a landing on
the Congressional coast. Already
these boats have suffered more or
less damage from contact mines and
there are strong reasons to suspect
that the harbor they are approach
ing is literally alive with explosives.
In addition to all this, the insurgents
are massing their forces and
strengthening their land fortifica-
lions and If the Linney expedition is
not exceedingly careful it will meet
with a combined Montejo and Ger
vera and Santiago disaster.

To SENTINEL SUBSCRIBERS.

Mr.. L. L. Thomas, is now on the
War path for THE SENTINEL prepared
to exchange receipts for cash for past
due and new subscriptions and we
bespeak for him rushing business.
The subscription price of THE sENTI-
MEL is very low and the paper trust
is making US pay more for paper, the
fact is we must get our subscription
list closer to cash basis. The farmer
cannot afford to sell his products on
long credit. The paper is our product
and we cannot afford to sell it on long
time. So we urge prompt settlement
OF amounts now due.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August -
Democrats carried Alabama in the
State election by ma jority estimated
at from 30, 600 to $4,000. They have
elected their State ticket. the entire
judiciary, about ITO of 1872 members
Of the General Assembly, and the
county officers in about four-flfths of
the counties in the State. The vote
10 most OF the counties was exceeding
ly light, owing to the lack of interest
In the campaign, occasioned by the
distractions OF the Spanish war and
the certainty OF Democratic success
No undue excitement is reported at
any OF the polling places in the State.
The prohibition ticket received on
ly few hundred votes. The boiling
negro Republican ticket fell far short
OF expectations, and the white Repub-
licans whose State convention recon-
mended the support of the Populist
ticket, divided their strength between
thatsticket and the Democrats Iu
close counties, they supported Popul-
lists, but in counties like this, the
better element voted for the Demo
cratic nominees as being most repre-.
sentative citizens.

BALANCE SHEET OF WAR,

London News.
With the fall OF Santiago the third
month OF the Spanish-American war
is brought to close. Victory has
been the reward of the best equipped
battalions, If not always the heavi-
est, Both Americans and SpaniarGs
have shown that they can fight with
conspicuous courage. Mere animal
bravery, however. has been hopeless
~ beaten when it had to contend
with courage reinforced by
thorough knowledge OF the weapons
which modern science has placed in
the hands of governments The
Willingness of the Spanish soldier to
die in the last ditch, and of the
Spanish sailor to go down with his
ship, has not prevented Spain being
beaten at every point. Nor has it
enabled her to infiict any consider
able damage upon her enemy. This
can be proved by placing side by side
the Losses suffered by the comhatants
in the first three months OF the war ::

The Monitors Mascot.

Who says that none save bipeds
AS heroes shall be known?
Shall egotistic man assume
All glory for his ownP
Shall "pomes" and short prose pieces
Which future children quote
Neglect the stalwart glory
OF William Terror Goat?
Nayl Tell his bold achievement
That all men may admire.
Tell how the Spanish onion
Aroused his patriot ire.
How swiftly he devoured 1t
Ere prudent men could note
And check the demonstration
OF William Terror Goat.
And when you draw his portrait
Show how he scorned to hide
His face with beanteous FURNISHES"
The don's dear badge of pride,
And how his beard like Uncle Sans
From meath his chin would float
That none might doubt the status
OF William Terror Goat.
