their brother officers. They are Rear
Admiral J. j. Higginson and Lieuten-

for they are rare indeed.
Secretary Long is still vainly trying
to destroy schley. He has undertaken
a work beyond his brains. His second
letter is futile and the plain facts re-

According to the new directory for
Charlotte that go-ahead town is on the
move in population. The Observer
gives the figures at 2S,S56. If you can
trust a directory count that puts Char
lotte first in population among North
Carolina towns. Charlotte has some
nine cotton factories and many other
manufacturing industries, and they
tell the take of rapid growth and pop
ulation and business. We do not know
as to Wilmington's population, but
there is a great deal of building going
on now and has been going on for a
year or so. Wilmington is altogether
in appearance a very different town
from from what it was when this writ
er landed here in September 1876, to
remain for sixty days only, where he
has been ever since. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that the little city has
improved, advanced 100 per cent since
then. If it had nine big cotton facto-
ries it would perhaps count 10000 in
1900.

The president of the venerable New
England college, Bowdoin, pronounced
we think Boaden) is William De Witt
Hyde, a scholarly and able educator
and not a politician. He lately deliv-
cred an address in New York City.
The World gave a report in part, and
from it we copy an edifying paragraph
or so:
W. all tolerate a great deal of
wrong-doing because in times of peace
and plenty the evil consequences are
obscured. = y 1t is, however, one Of
the few advantages of wal that it puts
men and principles to test, and with its
clean edged sword cuts out their un-
Righteousness and r%ottenness so clear
ly that all men may see and understand.
y . 1t is a wholesome thing that now
our brief war with Spain is over we
have not a particle of animosity toward
the poor Spaniard, but that the men We
find it hardest to forgive are those who
failed to send to our brave soldiers at
the front, or even in their camps, the
reasonable requirements of health and
healing"

Mr.. John F. Dickman, of Edwards
vile, H., is a hero and Geographic
operator. He saved the lives of two
trains by a faithful performance of
duty after having been badly injured.
He sent a warning over the wire. He
was thrown forty feet from the track,
his skull was fractured, and he was
knocked senseless. Coming to at last,
he remembered a train was scheduled
and a collision imminent. He dragged
himself inch by inch to the station
house, almost fainting as he reached
the operators desk. He would proba-
bly, have lost consciousness again had
MOI his brother William entered and
caught him. With his brother holding
him in his arms the operator opened
the key and "os'd" the through freight
and notified the chief dispatcher at
Charleston of the departure of the To-
cal. A catastrophe was averted. Dick
mans injuries are serious. Heroes
figure in all of lifes callings. Honor
to the brave and faithful operator. He
richly deserves prompt and high pro-
motion.

their race and upon the uniforms they
wore. The New York Times is an ex-
pansion, mugwump newspaper, rarely
we'll edited, as especially in its news
department. 1t is an old and very able
paper, leaning to democracy but advo-
eating the prevailing craze for expan-
sion, for land grabbing and big taxes
and vast expenditures. But it sees
the negro as soldier in his true light
and with proper appraisement.~ We
copy from its issue Of last Saturday.
1t says at the beginning of its discus
sion:
"It seems to be fairly clear that the
authorization by congress Of the enlist
ment of the so called immune regi-
ments was a mistake. They were not
immune from anything but the obli-
cations of the law and discipline and
decency. Wherever one of them has
b,cn it has left a trail Of disrepute be-
hind it. A natural sequel to the pre-
vious proceedings of the immunes has
been reached in thes case OF the Tenth
Immunes, cofored troops, who amused
themselves On their way north from
the camp at Macon by drunkenness and
riot, and. whose performances finally
brought out the militia Of a North Car
DINA village. The first section of the
immune rioters had behaved so out
rageously, promiscuously shooting at
the population, that to call out the mi
litia was a natural sequel of the an
nouncement that another section was
coming"

The officers among the Cubans- are
numerous. The American army has
been afflicted with more than enough,
but the Cubans are far more s~elf-sacri-

willing to serve as officers. A list of
the various officers in the Cuban army
shows an immense amount for the
number of reported high %privates,"
which were nearly 80, 160. The total
officers from corporals up, were near

have been as follows:
