From a special from Washington to
Hoke Smiths paper at Atlanta, the
Journal, it is learned that Germans
friends who are running him for the
goIdbug nomination in 1900, are Con
fdent." We suppose confident Of his
beating Bryan in the democratic ma
tional convention. It is stated that the
plan is for tthe east to combine on
him" They are confident with the
idea that Pennsylvania will go for
German, which we would say is not
improbable. The dispatch says that
German men are to he found ON every
| corner of Washington now, each one
| ready to show how strong he will be
| if he allows his name to be used in the
| next convention.
'sThe men who are doing all this
| German talking are not doing 50 on
| their own accord"

BREVITIES

And now it will take al army of
$50, 900 men to finish that fine civiliz-
ing and outstanding job in the Phil
ippines.
1t is remarkable and sad that WI dis
tinguished and aged southern soldiers
should lose their fine residences by fire.
Generals Hampton and Gordon are
sufferers and the south sympathizes.
Was there an ~incendiary in the last as
in the first fire?
They have at Manila a Chinese Wall
called a high tariff. A pair of blank
cts imported by a resident for his own
use cost $1O.06 charges to the govern
of this country.
Another North Polar expedition,
consisting of twenty-one persons, will
sail soon under the command of the
Duke Of Abruzze. The vessel is called
the Stella Polane.
Porter, the man who took the United
States census once, after a way, has
been in Europe. He declares that
r ssia is misrepresented and is not en-
gagged in a policy OF aggression. He
says it is trying to unite in n mass
the 10000, 900 people, divided into 40
nationalities and tribes, who inhabit
the vast region stretching from the
Baltic and the Black Sea to the Pacific.
Few newspapers in the south show
daily such strong, we'll Informed edi-
torial columns as the Norfolk Virgin
ian-Pilot, and it is done by a native
North Carolinian-Colonel William C.
ELAN.

If there is any one thing that is de-
spicable and low it is the wicked and
fierce war waged upon Rear Admiral
Schley by the Sampson crowd, includ-
ing the treacherous, vile N. Y. Sun.
Lieutenant Commander Hodgson was
parvaded as a witness against Schley
giving a conversation between them
that was intended to injure very much
the gallant Maryland seaman. The
Messenger gave the other day Hodg-
sons denial. We copy it again:
"U. S. S. Brooklyn.
Navy Yard, New York.
June IL, 1899.
Dear Admiral Schley:
The colloquy published in the New
York Sun and alleged to have taken
place between you and me on the day
of the battle off Santiago, July 3. 1898
never occurred Very respectfully,
"a. C. HODGSON.
Lieut.. Comdr., Z. s. N"
That is a plain denial. There is no
hedging. 1t is emphatic. When the sui
published its SANDER it knew il was not
true, as was stated the other lay upon
the authority of the Washing3t Post.
Capt. Chadwick hates Rear Admiral
He commands Simpsons fag-
ship, the New York He has shown his
bitter feeling all along. and while SAmp-

son never fired a gun or gained a bat
tie he is anxious no doubt TO make him
a hero while disparaging the brilliant
and brave Schley. He held an "inqui-
~sition." as the Post says, OF Hodgson,
and published a report Of what hap
pened. In the report is this:
Lieut. Commander Hodgson states
that he did not intend to convey in his
note OF denial, sens at h request OF
Admiral Schiey, and published in The
washington Post, the idea that no such
coloquy took place"
Read the above from him and then
should be done with this fellow. Il
seems that he did and he didn't. The
Posts question is in order:
Then why has Hodgson, even under
Chadwick's manipulation, shown that
the colloQuy insisted upon by the Sun
did not occur at all? Why does the
whole tenor of Chadwick's report go 10
shoy that Hodgson had no colloquy
Whatever WIKI Schley, n that he SIM
ply overheard and interfered in a liza
logue between SchIey and Capt Cook?
Was this discordant and inharmonfous
~utterance extorted by the ingenious cate
chiSm of Chadwick in order to save
something from the wreck, or is Hodg-
son simply a plain, everyday fool?
Where does Hodgson stand? Is he in
a hole or is he on deck? He wires in
and wires out" He is a pitiable plight
thanks TO his friend and inquisitor,
Capt. Chadwick, the enemy Of Rear Ad-
miral Schley. He would have been wise
and prudent to have been silent, when
asked by Schley or silent under the in
quisitoriaI pangs of Chadwick. The
Post says and it covers the case:
Nov this witness writes to Schleyr
emphaticaIly Withdrawing his authority
for the Suns injurious accusations.
and, within three days, he is reported
by Chadwick as having said that he did
not mean that at all. The public will
form their own opinions as to the kin
of person Hodgson is. Evidently he has
lied to some one--either to Schley or to
Chadwick"

AN ENGLISH EXPERTS OPINION.

We read, if We recall it Alright, not
long since, that an English expert in
nance was more than ever convinced
that silver would not do, or words some
thing like it, or words to that effect. In
the financial campaigns of some years
there has been a distinguished Eng
fish financial expert who has figured in
the discussions in country-Mr. More
ton Frewen. He was relied upon by BIZ
has been quoted as having changed his
views. But his was premature and in
correct. He has been visiting Washing
ton City, and the republican, goldbug
Post interviewed him. He is reported
as declaring that nothing has occurred
allisrn. It will be remembered that he
held two years ago that it was in the
power of the United States to maintain
single-handed free coinage, without gold
going to a premium. He was asked by
the Post if he still held to that view.
Here is what he said, as reported:
Certainly it is, and if you can con-
tinue exports on anything like the pres
emit scale there is not one who is en-
titled TO express an opinion but who will
agree with me. But the present phe-
nomenal exports apart, I Ann certain
that expert opinion is setting in that di-
rection, namely, that with mints in In
dia reopened to silver the United States
"a sing1e-handed fix and maintain any
ratio il pleases, given, of course, free
coinage here.
What expert opinion are o think
ing Off"
"WelI, 1 should rate Lord AIdenham's
opinion highest of all, and in his evil
dence a few weeks since before the In
dian currency commission. he makes
this assertion quite categorically, CIV
ing chapter and verse as h reasons
for his belief. I have his evidence with
me if you would like to refer to it. Now
there is no higher authority in the
world where a question of exchange is
involved than Lord Aldenham."

ATESTIMONlAL TO SCHLEY
Ladies Present Him With q Handsome
silver service

Baltimore, June 21.-Rear Admiral
Schley was the recipient this morning
of a handsome silver tea service, at
the hands of the Ladies' Auxiliary Of
the Schley testimonial committee. The
presentation was made at the home Of
General Felix Agnus, in the Green
Spring valley, by a subcommittee Of
fourteen ladies, appointed by Mayor
Malster. Admiral Schley accepted the
handsome gift in a few appropriate
words, in the course of which he said:
ITO have been a participant in the
great work of July 3rd off Santiago,
which this testimonial is intended to
commemorate, vas a high privilege,
and as a son of dear old Maryland, II
the help I CAV to others on hat day
added in any degree to the prestige Of
my state, I feel glad q proud"
The service, consisting Of six pieces
water, coffee and tea urns, bowl, pitcher
and sugar bowls deliberately chased
with a floral design and each piece is
inscribed with the letter IS" Accom-
panying it is a handsome album con
tanning the autographs Of all the 500
subscribers to the fund.

an old confederate soldier, and a native
North Carolinian. If you will study
mark study-his recent work entitled
1.-The Case of the South against the
North, or Historical Evidence justify
ing the Southern States Of the Ameri-
can Union in their Long Controversy
with the Northern States" You will
have learned all that is really neces-
sary to make you love the south with
a love surprising all other love of the
kind, and you will have a clear, thor
ough understanding of all the cues
tons at issue. You will read with sur
prise mingled with contempt and indig-
nation, and as you 1inger over the long
sad story of wrongs and expressions,
OF robberies and Misrepresentation,
extending through more than sixty
years, your amazement will grow and
intensity as you study the faithful
record. AT last you will think, not
that the south was in any way precip-
itate in action, but why under
Heavens blessings did not the people
of the south rise in their majesty and
might and In 1920, sunder the bonds
and get away from a compact that was
studiously violated, and that made
them simple hewers of wood and draw
ers of water for New England and the
Middle States to enrich and pamper
their pride and vanity? We will have
something more to say tomorrow.

BEFORE BABY Is BORN"
A Valuable Little Book of Interes,
to All Women Sent Free.

Every woman looks forward with feel.
ings of Joy indescribable to the
one great event in her life, COM
pared with which all others pale into in
significance. How proud she will feel
when her babe nestles on her breast
how sweet the name of "Motherl" And
yet, her anticipation of this event is
clouded with dread of the pain and dam
ger of the ordeal, 50 that it is impossi-
BILE to avoid the feeling of foreboding
which greens over her. The danger
and suffering attendant upon being a
mother can ne entirely prevented, so
that the coming of the little stranger
need notbe looked forward to with fear.
Every orna who reads this, can obtain
free a valuable little book entitled BE

It is announced from the United
States treasury that although the pub
lie defcit-mark the words $101,-
600, 600 for the fiscal year, that "the
outlook is very satisfactory" Think
of a merchant falling behind that great
sum in one year and then flattering
himself the business was fine and
finances were satisfactory. Such book
keeping is wonderful. Like the fellow
in the Noahic deluge said, cit is
not much Of a shower after all" 1t Is
a curious time in which We live. 1t is
a day of humbugs, bummers, bosses
and liars.

The figures we shall present will no
doubt interest many and surprise not
a few. 1t is a fact that the only gen
uine Anglo4Saxon civilization on these
shores is confined to the south. In the
! north people of descent from English
and Scotch people are very greatly in
the minority. Lately the German
| Americans at Chicago declared that
not England, but the whole Of Eu-
| rope is the mother country Of the
| white inhabitants of the United
States" In so far as that statement
applies to the south that is an error.
| But it is true as to the north. The
census reports show that there are
more native born people in the south
in proportion to numbers than in the
north and by a great per centage. In
| all North Carolina, with at least 1,70O,-
| 900 inhabitants, there are not 1000
| foreign born. The able Philadelphia
American says:
Further back than two generations
| we cannot trace the lineage Of peo-
pie, the country from which they have
| sprung, nor is it necessary, for in the
third generation they have lost the dis
tinguishable characteristics Of their
race, they cease to be Irish-Americans,
or German-Americans, have ceased to
be Americans by adoption, have become
| so by absorption"
The census of 1890-the last-may be

the percentage Of foreign born and
| born Of foreign parents. The total white

519,643 were born of foreign parent
age or 37s per cent, and Of these 4,913,-
23S were Irish-Americans, 6,S51,56
German-Americans, 1922, 63S British
| Americans, with the men Of Scandina-
Wan descent coming next. Put in per-
centages, Of our white population, for
eign born or born Of foreign parents,
1884 per cent. was Irish, 1888 per cent.
German, only 9.37 per cent. English.
The actually foreign born in 1890, were
9,249,547, and about 1000, 900 their
children The foreign born were thus
divided; 2,7S4,S 1874 were Germans, 1871
500 Irish, 33,249 Scandinavians, 90S,-
14l English. 51O,625 S1avish peoples.
1882 Latins, 242,2 31 Scotch.
Hon. a Schurz is the ablest man
OF the German race who has figured in
our country. He is a man OF conspic-
uous ability and is really a statesman.
He writes speaks as pure, idiomatid
English as any American in public life.
He says that "the whole world has
