BOYCOTT ALSO A WEAPON.

Other means than that of powder and
ball are resorted to to keep the cOlored
men from voting. The latest device is
1.-The white mans labor bureau" or
ganized by the business men. This
bureau is said to have already given
work to forty white men, and the coun-
try in being secured for others who will
work as laborers at good wages, the
idea being to discharge negroes as fast
as their places can be filled. Of course
enough white laborers to supply the de-
mand cannot be secured, but it is thought
that after few negroes have been turn
cd adrift. the rest will need no further
warning.
Nor is the hostility entirely of class
against class 1t concerns individuals.
n incident which relates to the wife OF
Gov. Russell is case in point. The
Governor, as can well be understood, is
hated here with a bitter hatred for the
part he has played in fastening negro
rule upon these people. Inns Is ms
home, and just outside of the city his
wife has large dairy farm, when sne
owns and manages. She sends the mix
to Wilmington, where it is distributed
by local dealer. This dealer has beeh
waited upon by committee ana n
formed that he must either ally himselI
to the white mems party or else he can
sell no milk from the Russell farm IN
Wilmington. He w. vote as requested.
The papers here appeal to the citizens
not to buy any of the Russell milk.

Republicans may be consummated and

SPEECH IN BURK.

The most vulgar, profane and unreas-
enable political speech we have ever
heard was delivered in the Court House
here on Thursday last to an audience
which about half filed the house. a large
portion being black, by United States
Senator Jeter G. Pritchard. the leader Of
the Republican party in the State of
North Carolina. 1t was unfit for the ears
of decent people and we would not under
take to reproduce much of the language
used. 1t was inconsistent, illogical, evas-
i've. abusive and of a low order gen
orally.

averted. If this should be the case,
and if the passionate state of feeling
over the race issue was confined to this
one city, the story might be ended. On
the contrary, the flame of antagonism
to the blacks is burning fiercely all over
the State, in white as well as in negro
districts. The mountaineers of the
western portion of the State are being
urged to come to the aid of negro-rid-
den white brethren on the seacost oy

MOSHlK HANGED.
Minneapolis Man Pays the
Penalty Of His Crime.
WAS INDIFFERENT TO THE LAST
Trial and Execution One OF tho Quickest
In the judicial History
Of Minnesota.

. MINNEAPOLIS, March l8.-John Mo-
sink. who shot and robbed John Lemke
of 4l4 in the outskirts Of this city Oct.
81, 1897, was hanged in the courthouse
of Hennepin county shortly after mid
night. He gave the matter of his
death no concern and was Indifferent
to the last. The sisters of the con.
demned man were with him nearly all
of his last day on earth. They went
early in the afternoon and were with
him nearly all of the evening, spending
most of the time sitting in front Of his
cell and saying but little. The sympa'
thy of these two women was the only
bit of human feeling shown in connec.
ton with the dreary tragedy.
Moshik, it is said, was moral de-
generate and an attempt had been
made by his attorney to prove him in.
sane. Two days before the commiss ion
of the crime he was rel eased from tho
state prison at Saltwater. This trial
and hanging is one of the swiftest
cases Of justice meted out to the guilty
known in this county.

In ordering this movement the navy
department is not animated by any
purpose OF yielding to rep:esen tations
or intimations that may have come
from the Spanish minister. On the
contrary the formation Of the new
squadron was brought about by pu rely
strategic considerations, although it

appeal to the generosity, the sympathy
and the patriotism Of the American
people to the end that they may UNDER
