HAS SPAIN ALLIES?
Genesis OF the report That Sister
Republics are AGAINST U.s..

Madrid, Feb 22.-(Sent by mail to Biar
ritz to avoid royal censor J-Spaiu's gov
ernment for the past six or eight months
has been actively cngaged In organizing a
military and naval combination of the
South American republics against the
United States. and has now so far sue
ceeded as TO admit of the matter being
discussed in the press here. the EI Pals
having n very remarkable article upon
the subject, which has attracted no end of
attention.
While the newspaper in question dis
cusses the matter as an excellent piece of
statecraft. about to be undertaken. the
real facts of the case are that the main
features of the combination are all re-
ported. and the various South American
republics. with the notable exception OF
Venezuela. are banded together into a po-
litical. economic. and. above all. military
alliance. under the aesis aud direction OF
Spain. the avowed object of which is OPP
position and hostility to the United
States
The project was inaugurated by the
Conservative cabinet before the assassi-
nation of Canoyas. and it is a significant
fact that. although in accordance with
the inyariable custom on a change OF
administration here. all the foreign mis-
sions OF Spain in the Old World have
been provided with new chiefs. friends of
the Liberal party. no attempt has been
made to supersedc the Conservative en-
voys in South America. lest there should
be any interruption I'm their intrigues
against the United States.
At first sight 1t may appear strange
that there should be any disposition on
the part of the South Americans to make
common cause with their former tyrants
and oppressors. the Sapniards. But it
must be borne in mind that all the lead
ing families in South America are OF
Spanish origin. exceedingly proud of their
Spanish ancestry, In many cases blue
biooded, and anxious to keep up their
connection with their kith and kin here

Hats off to Simmons.
WiIkesboro Chronicle.

W1lkesbOrO Chronicle.
We dof our hat to Chairman
Simmons. It is a little late pers
haps, but we have been too busy
to lift our hat sooner. Of course,
Mr.. Simmons did not carry the
State. It was the great patriotic
people of North Carolina, who,
tired of incompetent negro rule,
arose in concert of action and
banished the corrupt manipulate
ers and traders. But Chairman
Simmons deserves the everlast-
ing thanks of the State for the
vigorous, vigilant, aggressive,
superbly intelligent fight which
aroused the honest people and
pointed them to the victory
which they won so nobly. His
work and that of his assistants
was tireless and without fault or
mistake. When Holton lied and
slandered, Simmons hammered
away with slugs of truth Sim,
mons led the way; the honest
yeomanry of North Carolina
gladly and gloriously followed
Hence we doff our hat.

And Save Endless Suf=
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only q slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will roturn with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years I suffered from a severe
case Of Catarrh and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plcations, but they had no effect what
ever. I was induced to try S. S. s..

of prompt treatment for Catarrh.

CAN SOLVE RACE PROBLEMS.
peg Leg" UnfOlds his Scheme to
The POst-WOuld Emigrate
Negro Families.

"Peg Leg Williams, the we'll
known Georgia character, who
makes the emigration of negroes
to southwestern States a busis
ness, writes to the Post that he
is desirous of renewing opera
tions in this State ana that he is
prepared to solye the negro
problem.
sPeg Leg" solves the matter
thus wise in letter to the Post:
Reading the accounts of the
trouble you are having with the
negroes, I submit my plan for re-
lieving the situation i'll the Old
North State. I have orders for
1000 farm hands in families to
go to Mississippi, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Texas, to pick cotton
and farm. I have one planter Who
wants 100 families now 20 pick
out 5, 900 bales of cotton at SO
cents per hundred. Will the aps
proval of the press and the best
citizens, I can emigrate these ne
groes and place them on the min
ority side and without the har-
rowing details that haYe taken
place during the past few
weeks"
In an accompanying circular
"Peg Leg" makes the following
announcement:
81 have nine years experience
in handling labor, and furnish
none but the best country farm
hands, There are a great many
agents, both white and black, who
are trying to handle this business
since I have started it, but you
will find, as rule, they are un.
reliable, and will send out town
negroes and scalawags for the
purpose of making the commis>
sions.
IF 1 am successful, as I ex-
pect to be, 1 will handle between
September 1st and March 1st,
twenty to twenty-five thousand
hands. I delivered twenty-five
thousand last season.

LIN Behalf of the Teachers.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The question of better salaries
for the school teachers is one in
which all the country feels an
interest, and just now it is being
briskly 7gitated in Philadelphia.
where, strange to say, the SAL
aries paid competent teachers
are so low that the Philadelphia
papers are almost ashamed to
print the figures. Not only does
Philadelphia pay lower salaries
than many other cities, but the
discrimination against women
teachers is carried to an excess.
This is an evil common in most
educational communities and it is
deserving Of as much attention
as is the matter of low salaries
This injustice, the refusal of
anything like equal compensation
to women who must haYe the
same attainments and must per-
form the same duties as male
teachers, seems to be very
marked in Philadelphia. The
Times is in accord with the pop
ular feeling when 1t says that lit
is disgraceful to Philadelphia
that a woman is expected to
equip herself in all respects
equal to the male teacher, per-
form the same duties and accept
the same responsibilities, and
yet receive but little if any more
than half the pay given to men.
Such discrimination against wo>
men teachers is reproach to the
community in. this evening of the
nineteenth century. and it should
be promptly corrected"
For several years past, these
two features of the educational
system Of the country-small
salaries and discrimination
against women teachers-have
been receiving an increased share
of public attention and the senti-
ment for a reform so manifestly
needed has been growing steads
lily. No one questions the fact
that our public school teachers,
as a class, are too poorly paid,
but the signs of the times point
to a better day in store for the
teachers. Public sentiment is a
powerful lever, and it is only
quite recently that it has been
aroused in behalf of the school
teacher. The Observers plat
form is for good roads, good
schools and we'll paid teachers.
and if the country can have all
these in conjunction with Demo-
cratic home rule, it will want for
but little else.

of general prosperity beats cease
lessly.
The time came long ago when if
the many had caught step with the
few hero leaders and marched to
the rounded music of the anthem
of material development Colds
boro would now have twice her
present population, or more, and
degree of prosperity thrice greats
er than that which now pulses
through the throbbing arteries of
our trade.
1t is time to get together. 1t
has been so any day these ten
years. But now the call is imper-
ative. The cry will not down.
High and low, great and small
must join hands in supreme eff
fort to place Goldsboro where she
ought to have been a dozen years
ago. Selfishness and stinginess
and cowardice, jealously and the
spirit of pickering, if any of these
exist In our midst, must give
place to unity of action, to oneness
of purpose-the upbuilding of
Goldsboro.

Would Not Reach the Evil.
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
The Charlotte Observer says:
when Buffers paper advises a
Democratic Legislature to call
constitutional convention, it is
proof that the calling of con-
stitutional convention is a good
thing for a Democratic Legisla-
ture to beware of. They are dam
gerous at the best to the party
calling them, and when its worst
enemy advises it the argument
against it is conclusive"
This is all true as to Butler
and his evil purpose and inau-
ence: but a State convention
could not reach this evil. Should
a State convention meet and
adopt a measure disfranchising
negroes the Federal constitution
would prevent the act going into
operation. To provide qualifca-
tions based on other things-in.
telligence. or property owner
ship, or both, it would apply. of
course, to both races, and these
would have to vote upon the rat
ifcation or rejection of the
amendment, This point need not
be argued. There is but one abs
solute and final solution of this
matter, and that is, for the Fed
eral constitution to be amended
so as to preclude any other than
| the Caucasian race from parsici-
pating in the exercise of the cleo
ton franchise. Recourse to other
measures can only be temporary
at best.
