''Have VIM. Honeycutt. who
shot W. II. Greer, under arrest
here, as per instructions Of
Marshal Austin."
The bill of Indictment has
been forwarded to johnson

that Honeycutt will be brought
to Greensboro for safe keeping
until the next term Of States :
vile federal court.
Our readers Will remember
that Honeycutt is the block
ader who killed Deputy Mar
shall w. II. Greer, who at
tempted TO arrest hlm IN
Mitchell county, n. c., about
five or six weeks ago, and then
killed M. S. Philips, the only
witness to the Greer shooting.
1t was reported several days
ago that Honeycutt had been
killed by Deputy Marshtl Geo.
Pritchard, but this was denied
by Pritchard.
There was a reward Of $45C
offered by the government au-
thOrities, for the arrest OF
Honeycutt. who is one of the

from the wrecked Spanish
cruiser Almirante Oquendo.
All of the vessels of Cervera S

finds in money and over $780,
900 worth of brass and copper
have been taken from the Wis

The general opinion of the

cans showed poor judgment

They declare that none of the
vessels are in a condition
which would make salvage i'm

BRYAN CHAMPIONS FRAUD.
What GOcbeIism Stands for in the
Blue Grass state.

Buffalo Express.
Mr. Bryan may or may not help MIR. Goebel
by taking the stump in the Kentucky cam
paign, At all events he is not improving his
own reputation. The issue with which Mr..
Bryan has identified himself by taking part
in this campaign is not silvcrism. The sin
cere silvertes who have been Bryans stead
fast friends in Kentucky have bolted Goebel
and are supporting an Independent ticket 1t
is uncertain whether Goebel himself sup
ported Bryan in 1896 and it is certain that
many Of his present influential partisans did
not. Neither is the issue one of imperialism.
The leading Goebel newspaper organ, the
Louisville Courier-J journal, is strongly i'm
perialist as are most other representative
Kentucky democrats of the Goebel faction.
In talking Imperialism on his present tour
Mr. Bryan is but answering the arguments
OF those who speak for the candidate he is
supporting.
The issue in Kentucky is simply and solely
that Of honest elections, and the democratic
candidate stands for legalzed fraud at the
polls and deceit, trickery and dishonesty at
the primaries. Speaking publicly at Nc
Henry KY, last week, Mr.. Goebel said:
''The other fellows can do all the voting they
want. We democrats will do the counting"
The basis of this shameless boast is the
Goebel election law, drawn by the present
ueHloCTdtlC Cduuludte anu loTCeu through tue
last legislature. The law creates a board
of three state commissioners, who are en-
powered to appoint subordinate boards Of
three members in each county The local
boards are to name all the judges and
clerks Of election, and no provision is
made for minority party representation
in any of the boards. That law was
designed to enable, not the democratic
party merely, but that portion of the
democratic party which Is under the
direct personal control of Mr.. Goebel to
count votes, without regard to how they
were cast, and thereby to gain and hold
power in defiance of the popular majority.
That law and the personality Of the man
who drew it constitute the sole issue in Ken
lucky this fall. 1t represents cynical dis
honesty which finds its only parallel in this
country in the history of William NJ. Tweed.
And William j. Bryan has deliberately placed
himself before the country as its champion

ingly illustrated in the career of Silas 4.
llolcomb, sham reform candidate for
supreme judge. In 1893 and again in
1894 The Bee said many very Compli-
mentary things of Sias \. Holcomb. He
was commended as an able lawyer and
IN upright exponent of law. He was
eXtolled as man of answering integ-
rity and moral backbone that would
firmly resist all pressure and tcmpta-
ton. He was vouchcd for as an un.
finching champion of anti-monopoly
principles, who would redeem to the
letter every pledge made by his party
in its platforms or made by himself on
the stump. He was presented to the
people as the man of all others who
would purge Nebraska Of corruption and
iobbery in the state house and who
would stand for good government under
any and all circumstances.

Silas 4. Holcomb has had fair trial,
with every opportunity to inaugural to
and execute the reforms promised by

career as governor he has had ample

made of and he has proved II lamentable
failure in every respect. He has eXhib-
tied lack of moral stamina at every
stage and surrendered himself to n
cOtcrie of disreputable politicians for
mcrly disowned and discarded by the old
parties Instead of exercising his pre-
negatives faithfully, fearlessly and i'm

This is after taking.
1t is in accord with the eternal fitness

The unexpected very often happens.
In the war between the Beers and the
British the first pitched battle has culmi-
mated in victory for the British army.
The prevailing impression among mill
ary men of all nations, including those
of England, was that the armies of the
Dutch republics which had taken the ini-
tiative in the war would prove victorious
in thc first onslaught by reason OF the
fact that the British renforccments
could not reach the seat of war in time
to be of service to the British garrisons
scattered over large areas, at best very
difficult to successfully defend.
According to the accounts that have
reached us through British sources the
first battle was fought with reckless
dash on the part of the Beers and doggcd
valor on the part of the British. From
the outset the Beers were ut great dis
advantage in attacking a force power
fully entrenchcd and equipped with the
best rapid-tire guns and small arms
| handled by men perfectly drilled in
their effective use. In this battle it was
not merely superior range of artillery
but superior men behind the guns that
| carried the day for the British. The
Beers are conceded to have displayed
great bravery from the opening to the
close of the battle and that fact is at
tested by the heavy losses inflicted upon
the imperial forces, which were particu.
larly severe in the number of officers
| killed and disabled
The effect of the first battle upon the
| final outcome of the war cannot be
| prognosticated ut this stage. While the
loss of one or two regiments is not likely
to be regarded as an irreparable dis
aster by the Beers, the moral effect can.
not but be seriously depressing. The
| battle near Glencoe cannot of course
| be compared to the first battle of Bull
Run, since the conditions of the Amcri-
can republic and the two African re.
publics are so dissimiar. In the Amorl-
can war of the rebellion the United
States had 100000 of people and vas,
resources in men and money to fall back
on. The Beers, on the other hand, have
Il comparatively small population and
limited resources for carrying on Il pro
tracted war. Their chances of success
We're staked upon a short, sharp and de
csive conflict waged in territory with
every foot of which they We're familiar
The loss of the first battle may be dis
couraging, but it is by no means fata
to the cause for which the Beers are
contending.

RACIAL RECONsTRUCTION.
SIayOnic Race Destined to PrepOnder-
nte in Europe.

LONDON spectator.
The SlayOnH race in its various branches
is increasing more rapidly than any civil
lized race known in history, and we must
accept the fact OF this growth in Europe as
something, for the present at least, final,
and not to be argued with or gainsaid.
The Russian empire now numbers 130, 000,-
600 and, though the numbers include Ger
mans in the extreme west and Mongols in
the extreme east, yet the mass are pure
Slavs, presenting thus homogeneity rare in
history. But, in addition to Russia, we have
Slayonic offshoots over a large European
area which render the future OF much more
than half Europe certainly Slavonic. The
troubles in Austria have reminded us Of the
Slav kingdom Of Bohemia, but it is not in
Bohemia only that the German is face to
face with the Sav; he is so in Galicia in
Carinthia and Carniola, while the Magyar
is surrounded by an eyer-increasng Slav
population in the land OF his birth. In the
Balkan peninsula it is a case of whether
Slav or Greek shall inherit the lands made
desolatc by the Turk and few who have
studied the question in the light OF recent
history can doubt that 1t will be the Slav.
We need not quote that hackneyed say
ing OF Napoleon or republican,
II is more to the point to say that, what
ever the future political forms OF Europe
may be, her actual population will be largely
(f not predominantly) Savonic and that
this fact may mean different Europe from
that known in history. For where, from the
point of view Of numbers, is the counter
balancing element to the Slav 10 be found?
France Is stationary, and very nearly SO are
Spain and Portugal,
Germany is full, and can only maintain
herself In comfort by reason of the American
outlet for her surplus, Austria is actually
ground for Slav as against German, incrg ase.
Italy, like Germany sends her surplus over
the Atlantic. The great future Of English
speaking people is not in Europe but in
America and the southern seas. The Morse
people are hemmed in by barren lands and
are probably Increasing faster in the north
west Of the United States than at home.
Now, If we set against these facts the actual
growth of Russia herself, the increase OF
Savs in central Europe, and the probable
future Of the Slavs in the Balkan peninsula,
we cannot fail to see that, within mea ur-
able period the SlavCnic element In Eu-
ropean society will preponderate in the bal
anCe
What effect will this racial reconstruCtion
OF Europe exert on mankind? 1t will be a
long time before We shall realize that If we
want to find the great seats Of the historic
peoples Of Europe we shall have 10 look be =
yond Europe, to TeutoniC North America, u
Latin South America, to Teutonic Austria
lasia, Yet this viii. so far as one can see,
certainly be the case within another century,
assuming the present general drift u things

Power aud innucncc.

INilAdCIpNil IlWtS,
The newspaper generally avrves as topic
FOR discussion at every church conference
and words are sometimes spoken by sensa-
tonal ministers tha, would wound tho feel
ings OF sensitive press. Rev Dr.
Greer Of New York. at the rCceu, Mime
aplls gathering ot e,Cesia.tics. inveighed
against what he described as the newspaper
habit"-meaning the reading OF daily jour
nails rather than serious books on philosophy
or religion. Possibly he also intended re-
bukc to people who preferred to enjoy a
sprightly newspaper rather than listening
to a dull sermon; hut he carefully rcfraincd
from going into details OF course he said
"the newspaper must necessarily be sensa-
tional" because he defined news to be this
uncommon things Of life" That is not
bad definition but the New York World
points out that many uncommon things OF
life" are recorded in Holy Writ and casually
cites 'Joshua's command to the sun and
moon TO stand still (Which the sun and
neon are said TO have obeyedl: the story
OF Jonah the translation Of Elijah and much
else of like kind" Then the World asks;
"All these incidents were uncommon and
therefore sensational. hut are we to shuu
them on that account?"
We must not be understood as intimatinE
that Rev Dr. Greer condemned the news
papers Far from It. He probably had read
reports of several great public libraries
in this country which show that the cir
culation of books therofrom decreased from
10 to 20 per cent during a large part
of last year. The people of this coun-
try were then studying history as it was
made, day by day, and had no time for Glib
bon, Macauay or historical novels
Another war has just begun and though
IL will be waged in far off South Africa the
morning newspaper will bring the daily
progress of events to your breakfast table.
