THE GREAT CANALRYMAN.

The Messenger has brifly mentioned
three times the life of that great con-
federate soldier, Major General Bed
ford Forrest, the greatest cavarly SOL
dier by all odds ever born in this coun-
try. General 10 Johnston went farth-
err and said he was the creates genius
on either side in the great war. 1t is
not surprising hat this splendid COM
mander who was of the n-hea and
of unwearied endurance should be a
thorn in the side of the Yankees. He
told us in Memphis in 1868, that he had
ridden four days and nights without
topping save to change horses. His
victory at Rome Ga, has no parallel
in American fighting. We see that the
Presbyterian Interior of Chicago brings
out the old charge of crime and inhu-
mainly against Forrest ait Fort Pillow.
1t is the old lie freshly revamped and
polished. The Interior is very severe
n very one-sided and ignorant of the
precise facts. We have not seen the
paper but see extracts III the Charlotte
Observer from its false screed. We are
however gratified to copy one of it's en-
forced concessions. There is just one
thing the Yanks cannot blot or blur
the magnificent 81 and bravery of
the great Tennesseean. The Interior
says:
ut is conceded that Forrest under
SlOOu cdVdIfy DIS no Quiet man IN the
confederate service, and u may be
doubte if General P H. Sheridan was
a greater or more successful fighter.
Forrest was a man who breathed the
air Of battle with delight. he was I'M
conquered and apparently unconquer-
able. Cold, hunger, lack or supplies,
superior force of an enemy seem never
to have Disconnected him. De gave the
federal forces again and again all pos
sible odds and seemed to beat them
with ease"
OF the article referred to by the OBJ
server we know nothing, but it says:
But the testimony that ait Fort Pill
low he did not transgress the rules of
civilized warfare is overwhelming. An
elaborate article in Harper's Monthly
for September clears UP this charge
completely, even if Mr.. Wyeth's boob
does not" Let us try to keep history
straight.

AMERICAN AND ALLIES

IT looks now as if there was a secret
understanding, ever an alliance, be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. 1t has been denied but there
are many signs tokening such a con-
summation by no means to be desired.
1t is a probable thing. Mckinley is SO
enveloped now in schemes of propagan-
dism and revolution that he would
unite with Great Britain if it will help
him to make successful his plans OF
conquest. That means huge debts, a
great threatening standing army and a
vast navy, with taxation ~unbearable.
On 31st October the New York u
stated that it believed a report to the
effect that Secretary Of State Hay, had
warned the continental powers of Eu-
rope against any movement toward
Chinese partition while England was
engaged in destroying the Dutch re-
public. Why this extreme measure IT
no alliance? The Sun later had more
to say leading in the same direction.
1t went so far as to say this and more:
ut is no. at Berlin alone that Great
Britain's representatives have been
busy and successful, If it be true that
our state department has not only in
timated an unwillingness to witness
any farther partition of China und
the existing conditions, but has also,
through our navy department., brough
about the dispatch Of a squadron to
Delagoa Bay.
The appearance of a United states
squadron in the same waters would,
-a+,ralIxy ha roUorIpd oC a counter
move.
The recent evident alliance between
Germany and Great Britain favor the
view that those countries and the Unit
ed States are allied. Recently Emperor
William has been very sweet on the
United States. Recently the speeches
of Earl Salisbury and the American
Ambassador Choate, at the British
court have attracted attention as to a
prime minister, said ~the>ether day:
1.-The happy relations with our kins-
men on the other side of the Atlantic,
who share with us so vast a
mission for the advancement of man
kind. are among the most cheering
symptoms of the present time"
But the day after Ambassador Choate
referred to what the Engllsh premier
had approvingly said:
prevails between these w kindred ma
lions is the last and greatest victory
(of peace). 1t means peace not merely
between your country n mine, put
among all the great nations; n that
means an advance in civilization, pros
perity and welfare not only for Anglo
Saxons but for the whole human race"
That is to say that Great Britain and
the United States, perhaps aided by

BREyITIEs.

1t is taken for granted that the
Transvaal and the other states wifi all
be ov~erpowered, and that they will be
united under a South African Confed-
Grafton but to be under British con-
troll. Salisbury is pleased to say that
no Ian is desired. Nonsense.
The bank statement prices.
Loss in cash reserves was oyer five
millions, and s.. 7ss. $50 below legal re-
quirement. So it was telegraphed on
18th from New York.

The new president of Connecticut,

loyalty, and Christianity"

There are sc many doctors and other
professionals" in Washington hat the
negro organ in New York, the Age,
cries out against it and says there is
a "surfeit." Hear it: MANY of our
doctors accomplish very little after
graduating, their shingles serving only
as guide to the postman, instead of be-
ing a beacon light to patients. . = =
The idle professional, and semi-profes-
sional, men of color in this city are
legion, and their talents, like theiI
diplomas, accumulate bacteria and
dust" That reminds US that Bill Arr
wrote several years age about the over
education of the negroes uniting them
for serious work. He said it spoiled
many a good f~ield-hand. Too many
professionals" among the negroes Will
lead to starvation or worse. Techni-
cal education will prove more useful
and remunerative than law and med
icine.

HANNA

The republicans are talking of I'M
loading Hanna, as he is too heavy a
burden for the corrupt old party. It
will be to put as big a rascal in his
place if not so we'll known. /. The re-
publicans will carry on the same vici-
Gus, foul, depraved, debauched meth
DDS of intimidation and purchase and
cheating hat they have done in every
election since 1868. They would not
dare to trust to d fair, open fight and
ballot and count. The party is man
aged by skilled scoundrels and Hanna
the moral leper, is not the only one Of
hat type to manage. But we believe
hat Hanna is too useful and too neal
little McKinley's pocket and heart to
be dismissed. Little Mac would weep
himself half dead if that were to hap
pen. That note of $115, 900 which Mark
has so long held against the Major

that would throw the creditor into con-
vulsions and bring On a collapse of
pocket if not of character. How came
it to pass hat a member of the con-
gress should owe a trickster such a sum

would not be surprised if there were
mot ways that are dark in that

A MOST FLAGRANT OUTRAGE.

A very serious and portentous event
occurred recently in the election held
in Kentucky. United States federal
soldiers appeared at the election polls.
Think of it. We are back to the evil
reconstruction times. Bayonets fixing
ballots. 1t was don too by the repub-
lican governor. 1t was a great and in
excusable outrage against freemen n
free ballot. 1t was a positive, deliberate
attack upon a republican government
blue coat federal soldiers holding the
polls. A most wicked, a most danger
Gus assault upon the electors of Ken
tucky-a palpable violation of civic
rights and the rights of the state. 1t is
characteristic of tyranny to resort to
oppression when it fears that the peo-
pie will be free. Here soldiers were
ordered to the polls that republicans
might trump over the electors of
a free commonwealth. 1t was a great
scandal and crime, pure n simple.
1t shows what is coming under McKin-
leyism. 1t means tramping under feet

100, 900 standing army come, n you
will see how the usurpersa and Sound
rels will lord it over American people.
Let the freemen watch, keep their eyes
wide open pom the revolutionary gang
at Washington. The Houston (Texas)
Post, one Of our best exchanges, and
eve true to the American sovereigns,
the people, noting his threatening in
cident in a recent election has much
to say that is just and forceful. 1t
says correctly:
THE c~onstabulary of the common
wealth of Kentucky, created by civil
authority and amenable thereto, ought
to be, and undoubtedly was, fully able
to maintain the public peace and pro-
tect the dignity of the state. Until the
state shall, therefore, confess it's ina
bility to put down and punish infrac-
lions of the law, by means of it's con-
stabulary, there does not exist defen-
sible p~rovocation for resort to the mil
itary arm of the government.
mo principle of this republic has
been so zealously guarded and no
principle is so essential to it's perpetu-
alton a sthe principle of local self-gov-
eminent. 1t is the very sou and
genius of a constitutional democracy.
When it is assailed the assault is met
with alarmed persistence, and if in
fringed the infringement is met with
revolution"
1t makes a pertinent quotation from
the democratic national platform Of
1896, in which this very contravention
of the rights of states was opposed in
the words we "denounce arbitrary in
reference by federal authority in local
affairs as a violation of the constitu-
| ton of the United States and a crime
against free institutions" If such
| things can be; if the people quietly &C
| quiese in such high handed abuses,
then next year we need one of us be
surprised to see the blue coats thick
in North Carolina. Governor Russell,
a man Of violence and Of extreme ia
naticism, may urge Mckinley to fill
our state with the army of bule coats
| in the elections of 1900.
