BRITISH DEFEATS AND LOSSES.

The British have certainly a a very
sharp experience thus far in wiping out
the Beers. They have had no holiday
display, and while their fighting has
been of the bravest, most stubborn
character, they have suffered heavily.
Their losses have been so far as re-
ported, in two months in nine engage
ments $50, killed; 2,027 wounded and
1,977 missing Or prisoners. We take
it the last victory of the Beers at
Stormberg vas not included. If not
their 2 killed, 26 wounded and COS pris-
oners, with so at another place are to
be added.
In the last fight the British General,
like Generals White and Methuen, was
caught a mapping. He made a night
TO surprise the Beers he was the one
surprised. After fighting for three
hours General Gatacre was forced to
retreat as best he could. He confesses
defeat and found the enemy ready at
every point. It was a very complete
discomforture. At three points of at
tack reported in yesterdays Messen-
ger the British were w%alloped. The
result will be to postpone invasion for
weeks. The British can Overrun final

THE AMERICAN ANTI-BRITISH
FEELING.

There is a strong anti English feel
ing in the great north in the South
African war. This is apparent from
senators like Mason, whose resolution
of sympathy for the Beers is before
the committee. There are many able,
widely circulated, very influential dali
les and weeklies in the north, that con-
denim the wal waged against the Beers
who are numerically a handful as
compared with the British, and who
share in the view presented by the able
senator from Illinois, who contended
that under the Monroe doctrine, and
presidents previously established, the
United States had the same right to
extend it sympathy and hopes for sue
cess to the Beers in their struggle Tor
liberty as it had to interfere with Spain
in it's conduct of affairs in Cuba.
The course of the republican Secre-
AIRY of State, Hay, is censured by
many, as distinctly un-American and
decidedly in full sympathy with Great
B~ritain's war of aggression. 1t Will De
remembered that the Beers, 1t was re-
ported, were not willing to permit the
American consul at Pretoria to act as
English agent in charge of British IL
terests while the war was penang.
The grounds of objection, as given at
the time, were that the American ad-
ministration, miscalled government,
was hostile to the Beers, and PRACTICAL
ly with the British movement. Inc
consul has asked to be recalled nj
this has been done, and Hay sends his
own son to take his place, and a nice
. xampl Of nepotiSm. This tlckles the
English who rejoice in this as another
evidence of the much talked OF BRUSH
alliance with Uncle Sam.
The Washington Sentinel of 9th inst,
saws this, right under McKinleys and
Hays noses:
1.-THE sentiments Of a great majority
.of the Americans are with the beers
against the infamous n UNJUST war
of grasping England, a war which IS
an exact example Of QUIZ wal FOR no
erty and independence in lT'6-tor
there is not the least difference pc
tween the war of the American colo
MES in 1776 and that Of the Boer re
-n,1blicans now. Our f~orefathers fought
for the same principles the Beers are
struggling for now. England played
the same role then as she is playing
now. And all those millions OF Amerl-
cans who still love their coun ana
believe that our ancestors were rlSnI
and their struggles in 1776 against the
British Just, now pray for the BoerS
and the defeat Of he British IN 1899.

THE CAMPAIGN.
90 Nassau ST., New York.

The state democratic executive COM
action: an early campaign, a vigorous
canvass, a multitude of speeches, a
concentration Of forces upon the great,
most pressing eas of relief, the
adoption of the amendment to the con-
stitution. Il must pass. The commit
tee postponed the holding of congress
sional conventions until after the cleo
ton on the first Thursday in August,
1900. The necessity, imperative and all
important, Of carrying the suffrage
amendment outranks all other ques-
ions for the people of North Carolina.
A vast deal hangs upon the adoption
or rejection of that amendment. Let
the people nav 10 other question be-
command their services until the suf-
frage question is settled. Then, with
the victory won, let the white mans
party for good and honest government
sweep on to other conquests. Elect the
entire delegation to the lower house in

orable men, who are sound and safe
democrats in the various districts. Let
the best and ablest men, with the best

people for the high places in the United
States senate Put men in the senate
who can reflect character upon the
body, and who can be trusted in any
hour of trial when great interests and
fundamental principles are at stake.
Perilous times are ahead. The foun-
public are being undrmeined steadily,
and they are already tottreing. He is no
close observer of the trend of events
who cannot discern this.
Let North Carolina be forever re-
deemed and disenthralled from the
curse of negro supremacy and from the
crushing, detestable, most foul domi-
nancy of black radical leaders of the
type of Russell and Butler and Pritch-
ard and Pearson and Linney and Ohio
Wilson,, and the other enemies Of the
white race, who would sink their
state into the nethermost regions Of
perdition if they could by so doing
hold the reins and draw their pay from
the pople they afficI, outrage, curse.
Let the white men take their proper
places in the ranks for reform and An
glo-Saxon civilization. Let all true
men Of all parties stand by their race
in the great fight for white mans gov
eminent for white people. Send skulk-
ers and time-servers to the rear with

MAsON's

The course of Senator Mason, of Ili-
nois. in regard to the Beers, may give
the republican party in the
senate. His resolution of
may not be relished, but be buried in
the committee. Read his resolution of
sympathy and then read the republican
platform in 1896. The republicans three
years ago declared that from the hour
the people of the United States have
regarded with sympathy the struggles
Of b other American peoples to free
themselves from European domination
We watch with deep and abiding inter
est the heroic battle of the Cuban pa
triots against cruelty and oppression,
success of their determined contest for
liberty
Then turn to the Philippines first
and do a little thinking. Would not a
resolution Of sympathy be as much in
order for the Filipinos as for the Beers?
Read the resolution again and answer
fairly, honestly. Senator Mason takes
the above resolution and makes it his
own applying III to the Beers instead
of the Cubans. The resolution contains
all and no more of the resolution of
1896, simply substituting South Afri-
can republic for Cuban.

cONDEMNING EXPANSION.

The cotton spinner's resolution adopt
ed at Charlotte attracts attention in
Washington. Mr.. Payne, Of Wisconsin,
is of the national republican commit
tee. and he is the author of the move
ment to reduce negro representation
in the national convention. The COM
mittee meets on 18th inst in ashin
ton. He thinks his resolution will be
adopted. We must doubt this. Nc
Kinley and Hanna may demand full
negro representation, as necessary to
assure the formers nomination for a
second term. 1t is said the opposition
to McKinley's war, and thereby expan-
sion and empire, in the congress, is
severely criticizing the greedy manu-
who at Charlotte adopted a
resolution looking to a support of Nc
Kinley's dangerous policy. The Wash
ington correspondent at washington
usands q snecial to the Richmond Dis
patch saying:
s'The members of the House ana
Senate who are opposed to aomln-
istration's policy of expansion are Sc
yerely criticizing the resolutions re-
Gently adopted ait Charlotte, N. c., by
he members of the Cotton-Spinners'
Association. Copies of these resolu-
lions have been distributed with a
lavish hand among the national legls-
lators. Most of those who take issue
with the memorialists dismissed the
subject without giving 1T a second
thought, while others framed their IN
dignation in induring shape.

kota, one of those who are firmly or De-

1t seems tina the north's s~tupendous
idol, General U. S.. Grant, was an ac-
tual owner of slaves at one time, n
perhaps when the war came on. Mrs.
Grant is made to say in her autobi-
ography:
"Gen. Grant was a STAKEHOLDER, and
so were his people. Indeed, we owned
slaves ourselves when the val broke
out; our house and field servants were
slaves, and so was the nurse who was
rearing u children"
1t was no crime if he did. but in the
light of facts and with the manner
and cause of the waging of the accurs-
ed war against the south, it is strange.
Even that bitter republican sheet, the
Indianapolis Journal, is moved to say
that this statement of Mrs. Grants
sis doubtless correct, although it seems
strange to think CO the man who
brought the war for the suppression of
the Shareholders rebellion to a success
full conclusion as himself a STAKEHOLDER.
1t must be remembered, however, that
in ante-war times no particular moral
stigma attached to the owni 1g Of
slaves, although many persoi Is who
owned them by inheritance refused to
buy or sell them"

The state democratic executive COM
mittee in their recent meeting at Ra-
leigh, took prompt action as to an early
state convention fixing the day on the
18th April 1900. This in their wisdom
is essential to the great work before
the White Mans party. 1t is pleasant
to be assured that the committee was
an unit as to the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of the
people. Recent occurrences in several
northern states in which corruption,
bribery and rascality fourished, but
emphasize the necessity of a change in
the mode. The people are being robbed
and oppressed at every turn. They
must hold the reins firmly or the poll
ticians will carry them over a precipice
of ruin or into maelstrom of usurpa-

PLOT.

The BrOWnlOwtte from Tennessee
North Carolina in the United States
senate, thinks he can defeat the will
of the white race, which he Sc ignomin-
iously deserts, in North Carolina by
causing the senate ito pass a resolution
that the amendment to the constitution
of North Carolina affecting suffrage is
unconstitutional, and that the UnIlnd
States supreme court will confirm the
resolution by it's approval. If Jeter
takes the 1attering JUNCTION to his
u~nrighteous, treacherous soul that this
sort of thing will end the rule of the
white man in North Carolina, and that
he and his band of traitors will lord it
again over the white race, he is CUNT
ing without his host. He may sit by
tn eseaside, n like Canute, try to
keep back the advancing waves of
white supremacy, but it will all be in
vain. History will give him a faithful
lesson if he will read, that revolutions
lever go backward. White Supremacy
is just as assured in the goodly state,
one of the original thirteen colonies,
as are the liberties which our brave
forefathres wrested from the mailed
hand of Great Britain. The vicious
gang may get together and plot, blu.
the confederate veterans who survive,
and their sons, and all the other good
and faithful men of the white race in
the state, will see to it that no such
outrages and wrongs of the past shall
again curse the state and make intol.
erable all living. So Pritchard may
plot, and Pearson may echo his strain
and Linney may write his letters sc
fiamboyant and raucous, and with the
coil and hiss of the rattlesnake, and
Butler may croak and sIarm the night
air with his tremendous constitutional
opinions, and still the white men will
move steadily on to victory and vindi-
cation, browning afresh the honored
old mother they serve and love with
new laurels and an immortal crown.

According to a report that comes
from a distinguished Psychologist and
explorer, DR.. Carl Peters, he has pro-
badly found the ancient 'Ophir of the
times of Solomon and the Queen Of
Sheba. He writes, II have evidence
that can prove we have really discov-
cred the Fura of the old reports" This
may tur out to be true, and if so it is
very interesting. From an article in
the London Times it is learned that
Reuters Agency says that DR.. Carl
Peters expedition was mainly based on
an old atlas published in Amsterdam
in 1705, with French text, the author Of
which is unknown. In this atlas it
was stated that near this place (south
of the Zambesi and near the River
Manzoro, now MaZoe) is the great
mountain of Fura, rich in gold, which
some people regard as a corruption Of
the word Ophir.' This view was also
held by the Portuguese writer Couto,
who was quoted by Theodore Bent in
his Ruined Cities of Mashonaland.'
With regard to Fura, o said: The
richest mines of all are those of Mas
sapa, from which the Queen of Sheba
took the greater part Of the gold which
she went to offer to the Temple of Sol
ONION, and it is Ophir, for the Kaffirs
call it Fur and the Mons Afur.'"
