of his time in research, study and on the
lecture platform.
In his attacks upon the Bible, Ingersoll
was wont to say that gradually the very
foundation of the Christian. religion was
undermined inasmuch as it had been
forced to abandon, first, the astronomy OF
the sacred scriptures; second the geology:
third, the account given of the origin of
man; fourth, the doctrine of original sin;
NTH. the mathematical contradiction
known as the trinity: sixth, the atonement;
seventh. that the miraculous is either the
misunderstanding or the impossible eighth,
that the Bible Is not inspired in its moral
ity, for the reason that slavery is not
moral, that polygamy is not good. that
wars of determination are not mercifui ana
that nothing can be more immoral than
sins of the guilty; ninth, the divinity of
Christ.
AIR. Ingersoll also held advanced ideas on
the subject of suicide. claiming that sucn
a course was not only justiiable. but posi-
lively commendable in certain cases.

OTIS ON THE "RouND ROBIN"
Press Correspondents Are t
Untrue.

Untrue.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The war depart
ment has issued a statement quoting GER
tain dispatches from General Otis in an
SWer to the press correspondents round
robin The general says, in substance,
that the correspondents wished to send
statements that imperil operations; that
they had no specifications to support their
charges against him and that these charges
We're untrue. He denies that he mini
nlzes the work of the navy, and quotes
ment.
The text of the statement is as follows:
General Otis, in dispatch under date
OF July 20, says that the press correspond
ents demanded permission to cable that
olnclai reports sent misrepresented condl-
tons This was denied. They then demand
ca the privilege to send without reserva-
lniS was granted, Ii public interests were
not imperiled. The answer was not satis-
factory. and they therefore sent by mali to
Hong Kong.
General Otis says he is not conscious of
sending misrepresentation, but thinks that
his dispatches at times have been too con-
servatiVe. The press affair appeared to be
threat When correspondents were asked
TO De informed wherein General Otis dis
patches were misleading, they offered MOTH
ing tangible except that his conclusions
were unwarranted. When told that they
were disreSarding military authority, it
was apparent that they courted martyr
dom, which it was unwise to give them.
In later dispatch General Otis says
that the charges made by the press corre-
spondents are untrue. He adds that the
most harmonious relations exist between
the army and the navy. He gives the fol-
lowing extract from a letter just received
from leading Filipino at Tarlac, which
is the center of the main insurgent army:
For some days have been trying to
leave this band of thieves. Watched so
closely, impossible to leave. A great many
of the people here long for American troops
to advance, for every one is desperate, with
so much savagery committed by Aguinal-
dos army
Captain Barker, of the navy, who sue
ceeded Admiral Dewey in command of the
fleet in sending the report of the command
er of the Yorktown to the navy depart
ment, makes this Endorsement:
L am pleased to note the cordial CO.
operation of the army and navy.
"As bearing upon the statement that the
operations of the navy had been maintain-
ed, 1t may be stated that General Otis has
repeatedly recognized the work of the navy
as, for example, in his dispatch of June
10 last, IN which he says:
The navy aided greatly on shore of
bay landing forces occasionally; and again
under date of July 3: The army and navy
are in hearty accord, and the best OF feel
ing prevails

LEGISLATIVE.

The passage of the Hartford county
bill by a strong majority In the house
was a proper thing to do in so far as
essaying to protect the white taX-pay-
vandals. We are not prepared to say
that the bill is precisely safe. Nothing
should be done that remotely resembles
the action of the combine in depriving
the Peep e in towns of the home rule
and the right to govern. Right all
wrongs, but do not set any doubtful Or
dangerous precedents. The large ma
jority ought to know what is right and
safe. The only point that strikes us
as doubtful is one of authority. 81 it is
right for the legislature to appoint five
commissioners for a county then there
is no cause for hesitancy in indorsing.
But is it the right thing?
1t will be %judicious and prudent to
appoint a we'll qualified and honorable
board to select text books for the COM
| mon schools. We have known a large
| northern publishing house to offer
IS 1000 to a state superintendent Of
| schools to select their publications to be
used in the public schools.
The idea would seem to be good to
| establish in the counties farms for con-
victs to make them not only earn their
own bread, but help to feed the poor of
the counties, as we'll as to work on the
public roads. The purpose is to dis
continue the present unsatisfactory sys-
tenn of state penitentiary farms that
has practically been ~disgraceful sa well

BREyITIES.

Every thing gets higher, even edu-

An old confederate writes to the
Charleston News and Courier as to an
amicable plan to pension confederates.
He says let congress pass an act chat
all the money paid by the Southern
States directly or indirectly credited to
the pension account be paid to the
soldiers of the south, and that the
money paid by the North, East and
West on the anne account be paid to
the soldiers of the Union" That would
be too much like justice and righteous

There are some things greatly needed
in North Carolina. We may name a
good road law; a good educational COM
mon school system; a plan to better
equalize taxes, which is a crying neces-
sity; a reformatory for young erimi;
nails; a good local dispensary law; and a
brave dog law to protect sheep and to
bring in revenue for the education of
the children of North Carolina. The
