The Spanish Treaty.

The protracted deliberations of the Paris convention seem to be really progressing Spanish sovereignty in Cuba is to be re- linquished without incurring a load of Spanish debt, and Guam becomes Ameri- can territory by the right of conquest, as in the case of Porto Rico.
 Practically the commission is up to the Philippine question, and all reports go to show that Spain is willing to relinquish the group of islands if America will as- sume the Philippine debt of 1896, amount ing to about $40 100000, and will pay in ad- dition a sum that will satisfy Spanish sen- timent at home. If this be the situation, it is now only a question as to what we shall pay for all of the Philippines.
 The outcome seems, therefore, to be that Spain will lose her valuable colonies, and the United States will take them at a cost that will be neither burdensome nor un- reasonable. This cost will relate to the Philippines only, although 1t can be stretched in the mind to cover all transfer of territory.
 The Philippine question will be much simplified if it becomes a matter of dollars and cents. Public sentiment and the sen- ate will doubtless uphold some monetary recompense if we take over all the Phil ippines, some of which Admiral Dewey never saw and an American soldier never trod. The populous and fertile group is an empire in itself as Admiral Dewey has said, and the Age-Herald is confident the people will uphold treaty that provides for a reasonable compensation to the coun- try that came out second best in the war. The Philippines were not considered when war was declared, but Admiral Dewey's prompt action threw them into our hands, and all of the outside unprejudiced world and most of the United States agree in saying that we should keep them But still we may ease poor old Spain's bruises and wounds with a comforting financial salve, and we believe the country will not veto the proposition.

A GLOOMY VIEW.

From New York Commercial Advertiser
 The seizure of Niew Chang by Russia raises a question that will interest the United States profoundly, along with the rest of the civilized world. -Niew Chang is the one treaty port in Manchuria. It is the one inlet for trade with that vast and populous district where the United States is assured by treaty of unrestricted access. Now, if Russia takes Niew Chang she inherits Chinas treaty obligations to keep it open for trade-
 If it is her intention, as it probably is to make the place a closed Russian port, the rights secured to us by treaty would be infringed, and to this the United States could not submit with patience The whole civilized world went to war with China to make the barbarians open their ports to trade. Now, it would be a queer state of things for Russia to acquire those ports and close them again. 1t would make it seem as if China were the more civilized country of the two, after all. It would be annoying to be constrained to force them open a second time.

A Shameful Affair.
 From the LafaYettet Sun.

From the Lafayettet Sun.
 It is unfortunate that so bloody a crime as the killing of MT. Charles Holmes by the negro, John Anderson, should occur. The family and friends of the murdered man have the sympathy of all the people in the sad hour An indignant public, while sympathizing with the injured ones, at the same time condemns the method adopted on last Saturday night by unknown persons in taking the law into their own hands ana meting out justice without granting the prisoner hearing before the courts. Es- pecially grave is the matter, as the mur- derer had already been placed in jail. We do not approve of mob law. Without the courts our country would soon become whitening, decaying and corrupting coun- try, where crime would take the place of peace and where no life would be safe for a moment. To the courts we look for redress, for justice and for protection. IT occasionally justice is miscarried, and a criminal goes unpunished, should we, be- cause this wrong has been done, commit another and greater one! Indeed not All rght-thinking men will condemn mob law on general principles, in all circum- stances. and in this case of last Saturday hight In particular. Without reflecting upon the honor or integrity of those who were injured by the brutal murder, we say the negro should have been allowed a hearing. and, II guilty, been hung according to law

in the White House four years longer. If he unnecessarily and unwisely brings on war between the white people and the ne- groes of North Carolina, he will have some- thing more to answer for before the people than Algerlsm and Huidekoperism, serious as they are. Political power gained by federal bayonets and maintained by them is not popular in any state; and the dread- full nature of negro rule, and of the reign of terror that exists in North Carolina, will be made known in every hamlet in the land
 White supremacy is as necessary in East ern North Carolina as it is anywhere else. It is necessary to the maintenance of a high civilization The people of North Car olina should keep within the law but they should let no threat of federal interference stop them from doing everything they can do to end negro rule in their counties. At- torneyGeneral Griggs is talking through his hat He will not send troops to control the elections of any state; and the people of the terrorized counties should proceed calmly, but steadfastly, to secure white supremacy, knowing that they have the entire south in their patriotic endeavor.
