Of the question aud trusted to the oc-
casion for suitable words. The result
was that none of the speeches were ut
all duh or tiresome, i'll which respect they
differed admirably from much OF the
college oratory few years ago.
The faults of the speeches were in gem
eral those common to all youthful speak
ers, too much attention to unimportant
matters and Il consequent lack of time
to properly develop those upon which the
gus stion is really hinged and the ten
dency to bclittle rather than to answer
the arguments of opponents.
As an example of the. kind of speakers
our colleges are developing, the debate
gave no room for aught but deep satIs-
faction. The colleges will doubtless con-
test for the cup again next year, ana
there is every reason why they should.
Raleigh will always furnish an audi
ence for occasions of such pleasure and
profit.

THE REJOINDERS.

Each speaker was allowed II minutes
for his first speech and u for II reJond-
or. The rejoinders were spirited and
to the point in the main. There was a
slight tendency to indulge in personal
thrusts that would have been much bet
ter avoided but there was no i'll humor
attending them. a few i'll the audience
so far forgot themselves as to hiss one
speaker, IL performance that was as I'M
called-for as it was incOnsiderate. 1t
was the only incident of the evening that
was not entirely pleasing.

n decision. Mr.. London. as spokesman
for the committee. complimented the de-
baters upon the ability shown in the dis
cussion and announced n unanimous de
cision in favor of Trinity. Then the par
tIsans of the Blue claimed right of way
and the audience. including the boys
from Wake Forest. gave generous APP
plause, and the Wake Forest trio shook
hands warmly with their vanquishcrs.

Jones made Il most graceful speech of
delivery and provoked much merrment
in closing by enjoining the Trinity rep
resentatives to remember that there rs
many a slip betwiXt the cup and the
lip.
After the audience broke up a flash
light photograph was taken OF the
speakers, judges and other participants.
A most praiseworthy feature of the
debate was the total absence of any
spread-eagle oratory or straining for
pretty phrases. The young gentlemen
had evidently not. written ont carefully
turned speeches for the occasion, but

THE CUP.

the volume of sound that rolled up when
occasion arose. What is SO inspiriting as
the wide open. hearty. unashamed yell of
the college boy who yells because he
can't help it? The rest of the audience
caught the contagion of the cheers and
certainly it will be many long day be-
fore any of the young gentlemen who
spoke, and spoke well, last night will
stand before another such crowd. The
appearance of the debaterS on the fos-
trum' was the signal for the first out
burst and both sides joined in letting
them know that there were people in the
hall minded and able to cheer when such
things were in order.
Col w. III. S. Burgwyn was master of
ceremonies and when he rose TO call the
house to order was warmly greeted.
After few appropriate remarks by Col.
Burgwyn the question Resolved, that
the United States should not adopt a pol
icy of territorial extension" was read
Trinity had the affirmative and Mr.. III.
NJ. North opened the discussion as the
first opponent of territorial extension.
Mr.. North spoke easily but earnestly ana
appeared perfectly at home with his sub
ject and before an audience. Indeed It
should be said of all the young gentlemen
that with the exception of little momen-
tary hesitation once or twice they
showed no symptoms of the embarrass-
ment which is apt to attack even old
hands before such an audience as the
collegians faced.
MIR. NORTH'S SPEECH.
Mr.. North began by referring to the
declaration of Mr.. Mckinley and of the
Z. $. Senate that that the war was to
be a sacrificial war fought in the cause
of humanity and declared that we can
not now fail to keep that pledge without
bringing this country into contempt be
fore the world as nation of land-grab-
bers. Mr. North paid his respect to
the cry that expansion is American des-
tiny He thought it more important
that problems at home that are pressing
for solution should first be solved pro-
blems which intimately concern the whole
American people; that it was almost
criminal to make vast expenditures for
helping a foreign people when so many
millions of our own people needed help.
Our own resources are yet undcveloped
and there is no necessity 10 lock abroad
for investments. 1t is duty we owe the
world to keep out of foreign complica-
tions and so avoid the risk Of destroying
the only nation where there Is real free
dom. Our isolation is not the
isolation Of the hermit 1t is
the isolation of the young man
sufficient for himself. If we undertake
to civiliZe foreign peoples the treatment
Of the Indian will be repeated. I'M

close of his speech Mr.. North was warm

four times declared in favor of that
policy There has never been II time
when we wanted territory that we did
not take it, and the question is shall we
depart from a policy that is now tradi-
tional and cut ourselves off from any
free choice in the matter hereafter. Mr..
Fry contended that the anti-expansion-
lists. not the expansonists, are the inno-
vators. We need land everywhere. be-
cause our commerce goes everywhere.
and we must have harbors and coallng
stations for the ships that protect the
commerce. When Mr.. Fry declared that
he was opposed to any policy that de-
MED Dewey home in Manila bay, he
scored a hit and was loudly applauded.
Expansion as a policy does not mean
that we shall take any and all territory,
but only the privilege of taking such AS
we want. When Mr.. Fry concluded,

But two arguments have been advanced
in favor of expansion: That it is a duty
we owe to others, and that it will be
advantageous to our commercial inter-
ests. Expansion means an expenditure
of S120000.000 II year on the army ana

without annexing Cuba, and the trade
of the Philippines is comparatively trf-
