Admiral Dewey has once more shown
that he is abundantly able to hold his
own as against enemies in the Philip
pines and unfriendly influences outside
of the islands. The German warship
Irene prevented the Philippine insur-
gents from attacking ,he Spaniards on
Grande island whereupon Dewey sent
two vessels o investigate, at which the
Irene withdrew and the Spaniards,
after receiving a few American shots,
surre ndered.

1t will be remembered that when Ger
vera reached Santiago with his famous
feet banquet was given him, at
which the archbishop of Santiago
made a speech, during the course Of
which he said: 1T is not enough to
win victory on the sea. The Spanish
flag must float from the capitol at
Washington" 1t is evident from the
way that archbishop has been begging
Gen. Linares to surrender Santiago
that he has changed his mind about
hanging the Spanish flag over our
capitol.

One of the gratifying and unexpect-

the friendly attitude of Japan. So far
as the formal limitations of neutrality
permit the japanese government has
on every occasion shown its good will
for the United States, while the senti-
ment of the people themselves is un-
mistakably friendly.

AN ABLE NORTH C R0LINIAN.

AT the commencement exercises at the
University next week, the literary adj
dress will be delivered by Hon. Hannis
Taylor, citizen of Alabama. Mr.. Tay-
Tor was born in Newbern, North Caro-
lima, and the State is proud of the high
position he has attained He is a lawyer,
author, diplomat, statesman, and re-
fleets honor upon the State and upon the
University Of North Carolina, his alma
mater.
AS Minister to Spain during the last
administration, Mr.. Taylor made repu-

period that called for the highest dis.
erection and diplomacy.
Mr.. Taylor will speak on Our Widen.
ing Destiny" and will discuss oul
larger relations to the world in
view of recent events. No mar
alive knows the Spanish situation SC
thoroughly. or is better informed as Il

MEN OF HIGH cHARAcnRFOR THE BENCH

The Democrats in the judicial nomina-
tons made on Thursday presented to
the voters of North Carolina six able.
honest and fit men for the superior court
bench -Four of them have judicial eS-
perience and their fitness has been de-
monstrated The other two are learned,
honorable and upright lawyers, possess
ing those traits of minds and
character which mark the fit judge.
Whatever political differences exist
in the State, there is no di-
vision of sentiment as to the capacity
and character of these six men nominat-
ed for judicial honors, and it would be
in accordance with the real sentiment
of the masses of all parties if there
was no opposition ticket named by the
conventions or committees Of any other
party AS now constituted, the Supreme
court bench contains three Republicans
Messrs. Faircl0th, Furches and Doug
lass: one Democrat-Mr. Clark. and one
Populist, Mr.. Montgomery. Fhc Supe-
rior court is composed OF six Republic
cans Messrs. Robinson, Adams, Star
buck. Coble, Green and Norwood; five
DeInocrats-M essrs. Brown Bryan, Al
len. McIyer and Hoke; and one popnlist-
Republican, Mr.. Timberlake. There ere
two Republicans .on the criminal court
bench-Aessrs Sutton and Ewart. This
gives the Republicans eleven Judges Of
all kinds the Democrats six and the
Populists two. The terms of all the
Democrats, except Justice Clark, ex-
pire on the first day of January,
1899 If there is any efficacy in a nom
partisan judiciary, which has been in
terpreted to mean judiciary composed
of men of all parties, the people will
choose the Democratic candidates. Ger
tainly they will not, after making the
Supreme court absolutely Republican,
and giving the Republicans eight out of
fourteen superior and criminal court
Judges. elect any more Republicans to
the bench unless it is proposed to have
bench composed of nothing but Re
publicans.
Now, before candidates for Congress
or any other officers are named, the fit
ness ought to be brought to the atten-
tion of the people, and they ought to be
aroused to the Importance of permitting
no further deterioration of the judiciary.
We do not charge that all the Republican
judges are incompetent and unworthy,
but it is notoriously true that most of
them are far below their predecessors in
efficiency and ability, and that they
have no men in that party, who are not
in office, who are qualified for the high
duties of this most important position.
Partisanship aside, the displacement OF
the present able men on the bench whose
terms expire in January would be q
Statewide calamity to the bar and the
people and they should have patriotism
enough to avert it,

DID NOT SHRINK A sHRUNK.

Some months ago J. Wiley Shook was
an active candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress against hlch
mond Pearson. He was restored to q
position as revenue doodle" upon con
dition that he would not antagonize
Pearson.
Then james NJ Moody came out as q
candidate against Pearson. About the
time he was making inroads on Pear
son for the nomination, an appointment
ms major in the federal commissary de-
partment was rendered Moody. In a
recent interview, Moody says:
II was not IAN applicant for the posi-
ton to which | was appointed, but |
propose to go and do my duty to the
fullest extent of my ability believing i
10 be the highest duty of any citizen in
time of war to render without question
to his government such service as 1t
may call for him to perform, and | for
one viii never finch at the call of my
country. A man is not worthy citizen
who shrinks when the flag is attacked
and the institutions of the government
is assailed."
There has not appeared in the State
press at any time finer bit of satire
than the following from the Asheville
Citizen, commenting on Moody's pluck
ing few modest feathers from the
eagles tail;
Hot stuff! Marched by the mercilesS
President OF the United States up to
the frowning ramparts of the commits
sary department. this brave soul de-
clares he will not shrink. Sent through
the devious channels where pork is
bought, canned stuff is purchased and
beans are contracted for-no matter how
many bareback torpedoes and cornbeef
mines await him-this heroic patriot will
shrink not n shrunk, will shrunk not a
shrink. Watch his white plume wave
where the battle is hottest over the
bread that moves and the beef that
wiggles Catch CLEAN from that falcon
like eye as he withers to dust the in
famous contractor who would deposit in
the military anatomy alleged coffee made
of chicory and worse. The MORO castles
of sole leather steak melt away rs this
sacrificing soul advances, his meataXe
flashing full high, his butter tester driv-
en- to the hilt in the rank of the enemy.
"What inspiration in the announcement
that this daring soul viii not finch"
Personal ambition, party preference,
political spoils, health, friends and
wealth-all are thrust to one side; yea,
even life itself is laid by this great war
god on the yawning altar of the com
missary department.
Most rare sacrifice! Most puissant
Moody. The race of true patriots is not
dead-not so long as the feed captains
places remain untitled. Let the war 60
on: the country is safe. While we sleep
Moody guards with solemn round the
biyouac Of the BEANS"
