GEN. GOMEZ insists upon holding
this country to the terms upon which
it interfered with him in his rebellion
against the legitimate government OF
Cuba, and upon the immediate freedom
and independence of that island, and,
by no means unnaturally, opposes its
annexation to the United States, and
all who favor such annexation. He has
therefore removed all such, whether
natives or Americans, from positions in
MS command. He is for free Cuba,
and wants everybody to know he is,
and few people familiar with human
nature blame him.

METEoRs FALL IN OKLAHoMA.-A

meteors fell near that place Saturday
night. There were FIVE distinct pieces
of substance, resembling iron, that
went blazing through the heavens
about IL o'clock. In the transit the
noise made resembled skyrockets
shooting through the air. When the
earth was struck there was an awful
shaking. The house of q family named
Henderson, living about ten miles east
of the town, was struck by big piece
of the iron. 1t crashed through the
roof and killed two children who were
in the kitchen. Other meteors fell in

THE TROUBLES WITH THE NE.
GROES.

Except in the unlooked-for event of
recurrence of the race trouble in the
Carolnas,, it is improbable that the
government will interfere by force or
otherwise. The attorney general has
had another conference with the Presi-
dent 10 regard to the question, and the
conclusion was reached that as the
South Carolina demonstrations were
not directed against the collector OF
customs at Charleston in the perform
ance of his duties as such, the govern
ment had no authority under the con-
stitution or laws to exercise its federal
authority. Collector Tolbert was shot
while away from his home and on bus
mess entirely disconnected from that
of his Office; in fact, he was engaged in
what has been termed offensive parti.
sauship." To hold that the collectors
person is sacred even when he is inter
fering in county political disputes
which has no connection with his Office
would be absurd. As to North Caro-
lima the situation is now quiet and
there is no cause for interference. 1t
is being developed that the negroes
were in many cases melted to lawless-
ness by white republicans, and the for
mer now realize that they have been
misled. Thanks were given in the
Wilmington pulpits yesterday for the
great deliverance, and some of the
ministers regard the action Of the
whites last week as stern necessity.
In the pulpits of the colored churches
the preachers advised their fOcks to

At Hot Springs, Ark, on Saturday
the last days session of the convention
of the Uuited Daughters of the Con-
federscy was devoted to discussion of
the amendments to the bylaws and to
the election of officers. An amendment
to the effect that no one could cast a
vote except in one chapter though she
is member of several, and that mem
bers could not hold two Offices in one
chapter, was adopted. A letter from
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, stating that she
would prepare a biography of her
daughter, Miss Winnie Davis, if the
Daughters of the Confederacy would
agree to handle and dispose of the book
and devote the proceeds TO monument
to Miss Davis's memory was read. A
motion prevailed that Mrs. Davis be in.
structed that the Daughters of the ma.
tional chapter would donate 500 to-
ward the monument fund aud that the
organization generally would raise the
balance required for such monument.
but that they would sell the biography
if Mrs. Davis would accept the proceeds
for her individual benefit.

THE South, as always has been the
case, supplies the national democratic
psrtv with all its really effective
strength. The cardinal principle OF
democracy is the rule of the majority.
Therefore the will of the South should
be potential in the next national demo'
cratic convention, and the sooner the
Northern democrats become impressed
with this idea, the better for all concern
ed. The individual Southern States
can take care OF themselves, but if the
Northern democrats want their party
to have control of the whole country,
they must stand with the South and
endorse and support democratic prin-
ciples and policies.

THAT THE assertions of the republi'
can press of the North, previous to the
recent election, to the effect that the So
called Spanish "war" had entirely OBJ
liberated the sectional line and made
the people of both sections OF this COUP
trv one in feeling as in name, were ut
tered for the deliberate purpose OF
sffecting that election, is proved by the
fact that the campaign being over, and
their object having been achieved,
the attempt of the people of the
Csrolinas to relieve themselves OF ne
GRO rule has been seized upon by the
whole republican press, from Washing
TON TO Boston, and along the entire
northern boundary OF the country, as
q fit occasion for diapason of abuse OF
the people of the South, to whose al
legged hatred for those of the North,and
for the negroes, whose freedom the
latter secured, they ascribe that and
all other attempts to obtain and main
tain white mans government in this
section. From the time tie sectional
line was first drawn, the hatred IN 1t was
eprepdered and has always been pro-
NOTED in the North, and if Northern
people manifest hate for those upon
whom they have to depend for their
labor. certainly those of the South have
too much common sense TO do likewise.
The aboitionists used TO say that
Southern men maltreated and injured
their slaves, though no sane man
depreciates the value of his own prop
erty; and just as absurd is it to say that
the people OF the South desire to pro-
woke the luminosity of those upon whom
they have to rely for most of their labor.
