We Shall See.

Col. Charles F. Dick, secretary OF
the National Republican committee, IN
an interview declares that the chief IS
sue of the campaign Of 1900 will be
territorial expansion. He claims that
an analysis Of the vote Of the country
proves beyond doubt that the West
has deserted silver and that the new
issue Of expansion is far greater IN I'M
portance in the public mind than that
Of the money question. It's under
stood that Chairman Hanna shares the
views held by Secretary Dick, and that
the battle Of 1900 will be fought on
new lines. We have no doubt but
that the Republicans will try to side
track the silver issue and fight the bat
tie of 1900 on some other, but We 90
not believe that they will succeed in
doing do so free silver is the only issue
on which the Democratic party has the
slightest chance Of Wining, and no one
knows this fact better than the ne
publican leaders. That is the reason
that they are SO anxious to SIDE traeA
t. On any other issue the Democrats s
would suffer most disastrous oe1e&s'
Two more years of hard times, whlchls is
certain under the gold standard, will
turn the present smiles Of the RepuOli-
cans into bitter tears. In the language

THEY WANT PIE.
South Carolina Republicans After Pap
and Not Vengeance.

The Washington correspondent OF
the News and Courier says:
Federal patronage is more to the
liking Of the South Carolina Republi-
can refugees now here than Federal
military assistance. From the vicinity
of Phoenix the South Carolina colony
Of Republicans received several addi-
tions here today, but the postofice pat
ronage seems to be their mission.
There are nine important postofhce
appointments in South Carolina
about to be made, and hence there is a
struggle on the part Of the faithful to
get up to the pie counter. I met Deputy
Collector Deas, of Darlington, Thurs
day, and he was very indignant because
some Of the newspapers have stated that
he ran away from Darlington, fearing
bodily harm. He repudiates the charge,
and says the people of Darlington are
peaceful, law-abiding citizens, and he
has nothing to fear at their hands. He
says the trouble at Phoenix has blown
over, and there is no occasion for Fed
eral intervention. He says the Tolbert
family alone are still urging the admin
istration to take some action to avenge
the attack upon the members Of that
numerous holding family. The
recruits to the South Carolina contin-
gent are E. J. Crews and Capt. Blue
backer, candidates for the Spartanburg
postofice, the Rev. Wilson, former
Congressman Tom Miller and S. Z.
Smith. There are nine postofice cases
under consideration, and the South
Carolina Republicans swarms to the cor
ridors Of the postoHce department like
flies around fish wharf on hot after
noon. The political fruit about to
ripen consists of the following Offices:
Greenwood, with James Tolbert slated
for appointment; Abbeville; James Col
Inns; Florence, the Rev. j. Wilson;
Marion, L. R. Owens; Bennettsville,
E. J. Sawyer; Yorkville, A. Withers;
Rock Hill, Col. Pride; Spartanburg,
four candidates, Bluebacker, Asker,
Yates and Chatfeld. Darlington is
contested by DR.. Lunney and G: h.
Mckee, with Webster for Joseph Hart.
Several Of these appointments have
been kept waiting for some time, and
"Boss" Webster is doing his best to
shake the administration tree, hoping
to bring down some Of the fruit.

Some Plain Truths.

The mass meeting Of Negroes which
was held in New York last week to con-
slider the recent race troubles in the
Carolinas heard some lurii speeches
and adopted some foolish resolutions.
The Atlanta Journal in commenting on
the meeting states some plain truths
the Negroes will do well to remsmber.
The Journal says the result was natu-
raj since T. Thomas Fortune was the
the ruling spirit Of the meeting. For
tune is type of that class Of Negroes
who live on the less shrewd and easily
deluded members Of their race. They
pose as leaders and saviors of their peo-
pie, while their only service to the Ne
gro is to give him dangerous counsel
and live on his contributions. The
resolutions which Fortunes meeting
adopted denounce those southern states
which have restricted the ballot to In
telligent voters, but say nothing about
the New England States, which have
done the same thing. They also de-
mand Federal interference in the South
for the protection Of the Negro. Every
intelligent Negro ought to know that
such policy would only intensity race
antipathy, and that his own race would
suffer more than the whites. While
the meeting was denouncing Negro out
RACES in the South, it was silent about
the killing Of Negro miners in Illinois
and Governor Tanners declaration that
he would instruct tie militia to shoot
down every Negro who came into that
State to work in the mines. Fortune
and his dupes seem to think that the
killing of Negroes in Illinois is all
right. The condition Of the Negro will
never be improved by such leaders as
Fortune and such mass meetings as
that held in New York last week.

A FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
A Misplaced Switch Causes ghe Ioa= #
Twelve Lives.

\ grand trunk express train, bound
for Toronto, crashed into moving
freight train near Murray Hill crossing,
two miles. west of Trenton, Ont. at
$3.50 Wednesday morning, and several
cars were smashed almost to splinters.
So far as known, y persons were killed
and dozen or more seriously injured.
A misplaced switch was the cause Of
the accident. the westbound train tax
ing the wrong track. on which was the
eastbound freight The train which
left Montreal at s o'clock Wednesday
night consisted OF an express, mail and
baggage cars, a second class car. one
first class coach and two Pullman sleep
ers.. The second class car was next to
the baggage car and ahead of the fist
class coach and sleepers. 1t was pretty
well filled with people, there being 20
or more passengers in it, and hardly
any of them escaped without injury.
Between Belleville and Murray Hill
crossing the road is single tracked, the
only piece Of single track between To
ronto and Montreal. Murray Hill
crossing the westbound express, usually
leaves the single track and takes the
double track, and it was about mile
and half west of this point where the
accident occurred. Whether the sig
mails were right or not Wednesday
morning will never be known from the
engineer or fireman of the wrecked
train, for they are both dead. Both
engines were totally destroyed, and the
freight engine was thrown completely
over the passenger engine into the ditch
beyond. The engineer and fireman of
the freight train, Thomas Ivens and
Alexander Toppin, both Of Toronto,
jumped and escaped with slight nju-
ries. ". H. Brady, engineer, Of Belle
vile and John Mcdonald, fireman, Of
4ellevilie, who were in charge Of the
passenger engine, were killed. The
greatest destruction was wrought in the
second class car. The baggage car was
driven into and almost completely
through it, the passengers being crushed
and mangled underneath the timbers
of the car. The mail car was forced
right on top Of the baggage car, and the
express car was partially wrecked.
The first class car was uninjured. as
were also the two sleepers, although the
passengers were awakened by the shock:
The work Of getting out the dead and
injured was commenced Immediately,
but it was late in the morning before
all the bodies were gotten out. Some
were so horribly mangled that recogni-
nition was almost impossible. The in
jured were taken to the hospital at
Belleville.

General Young's s Story.


One of the most interesting witnesses
who has been before the war inVestlgat-
ing commission was General Young.
As the Atlanta Journal says he distln-
guished himself by his courageous and
effective services at Santiago ana prob
ably knows as much as anybody about
what occurred there. he said in his
testimony that Roosevelt's Rough Rid
ers, who seem disposed to appropriate
the hons share of the glory Of the cam
paign, did no better service and suffered
no more than some other commads.
The report that the Rough Riders were
led into an ambuscade by reason Of the
inehiciedcy of superior officers, General
Young said, was utterly untrue. Moth
ing happened to them that was not
liable to occur IN the ordinary course OF
war. General Young's report OF the
conduct of the Cuban insurgents is that
Of almost every other officer Of our army
who was in the fighting around Santi-
ago. The Cubans were either eowarciy
or Indifferent. They were worth moth
ing to us-in fact less than nothing,
for we had to feed them when there
was not enough food for our own soldi-
ers. One Cuban general assured Cen
eral Young on the night before the
first battle that he would be on hand
with 500 Cubans to take part in the
attack. He and his troops did not ap-
pear at the appointed time and General
Young sent messenger to him who
found card on the Cuban generals
door forbidding any one to disturb him.
A more disgraceful instance Of coward
ice would be hard to find in the annals
Of war. The Cuban guides deserted
General Young at the first fire. Find
ing the Cuban soldiers utterly worth
less, General Young IN disgust sent
them to the rear, where they picked up
and appropriated the cast off baggage
Of our troops. The Cuban insurgents
may have done some good fighting
against the spaaiards before we inter
fered, but they made very shabby and
disgraceful showing when they were
asked to cooperate with oar forces in
the assault,upon Santiago. Their re-
cord does not encourage the hope that
they will contribute to the establish
ment of good and stable government IN
Cuba.

INCENDIARIsM IN CLARENDoN.-Ine

Silver. Clarendon County, was burned
on last Friday night with all household
furniture and other contents. MIR.
Green and family were absent from
home at the time and did not know Of
the fire until the next day. It is sur

Negroes who had entertained ill-wlll
toward Mr.. Green for several months.

of the races, which was a matter OF

THREE WILMINGTON REFUGEES.
The Sad Lamentations of Burning,
Melton and Gilbert.

Three of the Wilmington, n. c., re-
fugees have arrived in Washington and
Wednesday called at the department Of
justice and an appointment for con-
ference with the officials was made.
They areR. H. Burning, United States
commissioner and justice Of the peace;
John R. Melton, chief of police, and G.
H. Gilbert, superintendent Of city carts.
According to their statements all were
seized without warrant and escorted to
the railroad station by an armed and
jeering mob, who shouted all sorts of
insults after them as they marched
along. white negroes" appeared to
be the least irsulting,,names with which
the crowd greeted them at every step.
Once on the train they were told IN
forcible language that if again they set
foot in Wilmington they would be shot
on sight. When their train arrived at
Newberne it was boarded, they say, by
former Mayor Ellis and lawyer named
Guyon and they were Informed that 1t
would not be safe for them to remain
there any length of time, and so they
took the first boat for Norfolk. Brown,
a Negro from Wilmington, who did not
leave at the same time with them they
had since heard, was set upon by
crowd and terribly beaten in the city
postohice. At other points they were
warned not to stop. The three men
are at present staying at small hotel
on Pennsylvania avenue, but what they
will do or where they will go from here
is a serious question with them. They
say they dare not return to their homes
in Wilmington, as they feel certain
the threats Of the mob would be carried
out and they would be shot. They
plead not guilty to every charge against
them and insist that they were run out
Of the State for the simple reason that
they were Republicans and refused at
the bidding Of an irresponsible mob to
surrender their right to the franchise.
