EVIDENCE Is accommodating that al
most all OF the terrible suffering and
neglect of our army in.camps and in the
field was due to the Incompetence and
inexperience OF the volunteer officers.
Our own volunteers, returning from
the camps, tell the came story. They
decline 10 be quoted by name, but the
fact Is indisputsble. The same is be-
ing repeated in every part of the coun-
try. Men are talking and writing
freely, and the gist OF opinion is that
the blame for the conditions that exist
ed must be assigned to those more
Immediately in contact with the men
than were the war department. officials.
The article reprinted on this page is
an Instructive one. It is significant
too, partly on account of the source
from which it comes. The CONNER
cial Appeal is southern democratic
paper, aud IL there should be any de-
sire to misstase the facts the paper
would have the excuse that it was
''politics." But this is only one of q
vast number of similar articles that
have appeared in the newspapers all
over the country, of every shade of
political faith. II is only in few d.
rections that there seems to be mani
fest q disposition to make a political
issue out of this affair.
We are strongly in favor
Of having q thorough and fair inves-
tigation. We want the truth, whether
it Is damaging to the republican party
or not. We do not believe the truth
would hurt the party one bit But We
deprecate strongly the attitude OF GER
tain democratic papers, which seem to
rejoice in gloatiug over the troubles
OF the army, because they
imagine the republican party will
be discounted. The Atlanta Con-
stitution, once one OF the great news
papers OF the country, welding enor-
nous power, but now sadly degener-
ate, voices this utterly unworthy,
unchivslric, un-American sentiment
when IL says: "Our republican
friends spprehead that the demo-
Gratis are disposed to make political
issue out Of the army abuses. You are
just right, brothers, it is q red-h OF
political issue" Such miserable talk
in nothing less than disgusting.

Land of the Sky"

In western North Carolina, between
the Blue Ridge on the east and the AL.
leghanies on the west, in the beautiful
valley of the French Broad, two thou
sand feet above the ses, lies Asheville,
beautiful, picturesque and world-famed
as one of the most pleasant resorts in
America. 1t is land of bright skies
and incompatible climate, whose
praises have been sung by poets, and
whose beauties of stream, valley and
mountain height have furnished sub
ject and inspiration for the painters

Sky" and there is perhaps no more
beautiful region on the continent to at
tract pleasure tourists or health seek
ers. Convenient schedules and very
low rates to Asheville via Southern

Chinatown boom with the explosion of
firecrackers, as though celebrating
their great New Year fete. No
building was more handsomely deco
rated with our national colors than
the joss house on Second street, near
Stark, AMI from it on a flagstaff, far
out in the street, fioated the largest
banner in the city. 1t was of yellow
silk, triangular in shape and bore the
green dragon, being in fact the ma
tional emblem of China. Then in the
great parade were company of WELL
drilled, native-born Chinese boys,
ranging in age from four years to those
in the early twenties. They were
dressed in the national uniform and
carried the regulation army gun.
This is one picture. The other is,
that in score or more of large, dark.
ill-ventilated, bad-smelling store rooms
are crowded the Chinese paupers who
have usurped the tailoring and mann-
featuring of furnishing goods trades.
Those native.born Chinese boys and
the hosts that are to follow them, are
to be voters of this great republic.
An alien race unused to all the ways
of liberty and advancement. unab-
sorbable into the body pelitic, may in
a few years possess the balance of
power ard dictate the policy of great
state. 1t would have been better if
there had been no joss house to blazon
the yellow and green dragon flag; bet
ter if no native-born Chinese boys to
in the uniform of the
great republic, and far better if no
sweat shops to drive those of richer
blood to poverty and its attendant
evils. Whittier are we drifting?

SPANISH PEOPLE
WANT PEACE
They Complain Bitterly of
the Government.

WASHINGTON. July 6.-The Post
has information that the Spanish peo.
pie in Madrid today were loudly de-
manding that the government declare
peace and end the present war with
the United States.
Public clamor against the govern
ment continues to be loud. The popu-
lace is tired of war and the attendant
expense attached thereto. Even
though all the colonies were lost. the
people who are ground down with tax
alton and see their armies failing to
win victories in an uneven contest
would prefer it to a continuation of
hostilities.
While active preparations are going
on to defend the seacoast against the
attack of an American feet, the peo-
pie have no confidence in the ability
of the government to repulse an attack
from American vessels, and should
Commodore Watson appear before any
of the Spanish cities and demand its
surrender, the government will not be
sustained in refusal to comply with
the demand.

Ehlen Heard From.

SALEM, July 6.-It is claimed here
on good authority that L. v. Ehlen
ex'county clerk who disappeared about
June 10th, has been heard from and is
anxious to return If his affairs can be
adjusted without criminal prosecution.
There were some $4,000 in his hands
as custodian of money paid in by
orders OF court and he is thought to be
a defaulter to that amount; then it is
claimed that he had a hand In the
alledged altering of the returns of
election in the D'Ancy-Boise contest
for district judge, which has developed
into statewide scandal. Ehlen's
father, highly respected residen. Of
Aurora, offers to make good any short
age which may be found to exist.

ably be affixed to the resolution to-

The house resolution annexing Ha-
waii passed the senate last night by a
vote of 43 to 81. Senator Morrill, was
the only republican who voted against
the resolution when it was placed on
its final passage.
The passage of the resolution cansed
much rejoicing among the annexation
lists and the representatives of the
Hawaiian government in Washington.
President Dole will be notified of the
action taken by congress at the earliest
possible date.

PLAYED BRAVERY

London Comment on the Destruction
of Cervera's Fleet.
LONDON July 5.-All the papers to
doy comment upon the sudden anc
dramatic transformation resulting
from Admiral Cevera's 3 mysterious ard
suicidal maneuver, with various theo-
ries are adduced to explain. All eulo-
gize the bravery displayed on both
sides and strongly concil Spain to ac-
cept the INEVITABLE and sue for peace
which would entail no dishonor:
The Daily Graphic says:
"tf Senior SagastB elects to risk fur
ther disaster for fear. of the frothy jim.
goes in Madrid, he will incur a ter
rible responsibility. The Spanish flag
has been borne with undying glory in
the face of tremendous odds and the
punctilio of honor have been enerally
satisfied"
The Daily News tenders similar ad-
vice. 1t says:
1.-THE Spaniards can fight and die; so
can the Americans. AMBASSADOR Hay
in his eloquent speech of yesterday
glories in this thought, but to their
equal courage the Americans add in
this unequal combat with Spain not
only vastly superior material resources
but devising mind and skilled Or
ganization without which bravery is
nothing but means Of providing stuff
for the shambles.''
The Morning Post advises Spain to
treat direct with her foe, but expresses
a fear that even this course will hardly
saye her from the grasping propensit-
les of some of her Euro pean neighbors.

WAIT TILL WE GET THEM.

Some of our statesmen in congress
are belaboring their colleagues with
propositions for establishing different
forms of government for Cuba and the
Philippines, but they seem to be pre-.
mature. These islands are yet Span
ish dominion, and besides this war was
not instituted as q war of conquest.
We did not wage war with Spain for the
purpose of acquiring title to her terri
tory, but to right the wrongs she was
heaping upon her colonial subjects,
and as yet we have not succeeded in
driving the Spaniards out of single
province. hence 1t is hasty on our part
to begin making preparations for gov
erning . country which Spain holds do
minion over.
We should wait until we have driven
Spain's army out of Cuba and the Phil
ippine islands before we begin max.
ing preparations for setting up shop
there. And then the wishes of Cubans
and Philippinians must be consulted.
II we take them into our fold against
their wish, they will ever be turbulent
and restless. They have been battling
for Independence, not to be transferred
from one government to another. At
ter having been freed, should they
choose to be annexed to the United
States, then will be time to prepare
for their government. But let. the
frat Job be to wrest them from Spanish
domination.

WHICH WILL IT BEs

The issues of war and peace come
and GO. The progress and retrogres-
sion of nations follow the expansion
and contraction of the volume of
money, which is the instrumentality
and foundation of human association.
The war with Spain will be blessing
or Q curse as it tends to produce pros
perity or distress at home. It our
boundaries are enlarged and the de-
mand for money increased without q
corresponding increase of supply, the
evils of contraction and falling prices
will be augmented and the misery
and want of our people intensified. If,
on the contrary, the people keep in
view the all-absorbing topic of an ade-
quate supply of money TO do justice
and secure prosperity until that vic
tory Is won, liberty Is safe. But If. on
the other hand, the war cloud obscures
the paramount question presented in
the Chicago platform and the enemy
is SLOWED to take advantage OF the
exigencies of war to enhance the value
of money and bonds and rivet the
chains of slavery upon the American
people, the war with Spain will be an
unmitigated curse.

ket for green fruit Il uncertain, and
that it Is unsafe to depend upon.
Whenever there has been q large crop,
much Of IL has gone to waste because
OF lack Of demand, hence fruit rails.
ing has proven Improbable.
The same conditions that exist there
exist here, and as the acreage of
orchards increases, the market for
green fruit will become less certain.
What Is needed in every fruit growing
section is one or more canneries, vine-
gar factories and a distillery. If out
side capital fails to supply these, then
it deyOlves upon the growers to fur
nish them. If the orchardists Of this
immediate vicinity would put one
third the gross receipts Of one years
crop into cannery. they would insure
a market for all their fruit that can
not be shipped at a profit, and would
readily change fruit growing into a
certain and profitable business. Be.
sides they would keep thousands of
dollars at home that are each year sent
abroad for canned goods.
