Quoted The province of Santiago has
at all times been Gifiicult one to handle.
The Spanards found it so, and, in their
brutal efforts TO bring II under, converted
II into hOtbed of revolution. General
Wood found the conditions closely re-
sembling chaos. But he took hold in en-
ergetic fashion, aud order soon began
to show itself. The cuban troops in that
province some time ago stacked their
arms aud dsbarded. Many of them went
to work at once and are still at work.
Some of them have become bandits, opar-
ating in the mountains, but they have
been proceeded against with vigor, and
u number have been taken and are now
in prison. This separation of the late
army into its component parts. with worl,
and self-support for the law-abding and
prison or the rope for the irreclaimablt
bandits, must sooner or later take place
in every province of the island.

General Woods hand has been firm
but it has been taken cordially by the
representative and the influential men OF

up the city, and reduced the death rate

In an editorial article nearly two
columns long the New York Sun learn
eddy discusses MIR. Quays chances of
getting back to the senate by appoint
mont." reaching the conclusion finally
that inasmuch as the precedents vary
the senate itself must decide the mat
ter in accordance with the will of a
majority of its members. This is un-
doubleday correct. The senate and
not the newspaper press is the court
of high authority on this subject and
no man who has been member Of

The Only Remedy.

Booker II. Washington's comment
upon the Georgia lynchings is in ad-
mlrable taste. For two years" he
says, IL have been trying in an humble
way to impress upon the country the
seriousness of the problem that exists
in the south. As much as all good
people north and south, black and
white, regret the causes that led up
to the recent outrages in the south,
and as much as such regret the out
RACES of the mob, perhaps, after all,
the country needed some such tangi-
bic and visible argument to make {
feel that the duty of the wealthy peO-
plc Of the north is toward both races
in the south. Few people realize how
little educational opportunities exist
'rr either race in the country districts
uf the south. The only permanent
cure for these evils Is ducatiun--men-
al, religious and industrial. ! base

the pioneer days are over. There IL
no longer resistance of, but support
for, intelligent parliament pro-
cedure. and hence there is no longer
any reason why the rules devised ard
executed for the breaking up OF an
old privileged system should nCs he
revised to eliminate the defects which
experience has disclosed in them"
Writing along the same line the
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Record says: Whatever the
rules of the next house may he, II is
not probable that the new speaker will
dominate the representatives of the
entire country as did Mr.. Reed
There Is no other man of just his
character in congress. 1t is circum-
stance worthy of remark that all the
men seriously mentioned for the speak
ership to succeed Mr.. Reed are con-
spiCuous for their general amiability
and good fellowship. MIR. Reed never
had these traits. Before he was elect
ed speaker he had admirers, as he
has always had since, but his general
manner was not such as to invite
friendship or sociability. His wit al
ways had poison in 1t, and the men
who laughed afterwards went off and
rubbed their wounds in private"
The next house will want to govern
itself little. 1t may fail I'm its exer-
else of this much wished-for freedom.
but it is evidently bound to try, and
this fact will probably have a good
deal to do with the location of the
new speakership.

next month in Portsmouth for the
murder of Charles Malone, also col
ored, may be saved. Tate was once
servant of General Carr, who heard
of his predicament and employed
counsel to go before Judge Prentiss,
at Suffolk, and ask for an arrest of
judgment pending the argument for a
new trial, upon the grounds that the
records in the case do not show that
the prisoner was brought into court
when motion for new trial was
made by former counsel. Judge
Prentiss has reserved his decision.
If he decides adversely, the case will
be carried to the Court of Appeals, as
it is understood that General Carr has
issued instructions that no pains or
expense be spared to save Tate's life.
General Carr speaks highly of the
negro. Tate protests his innocence.

The John Robinson Show to Exhibit
in Oxford Thursday, Sept. 7Ist.

There is perhaps no travelling tented
exhibition in the entire United States
that is as well and favorably known
to the amusement loving people of
America as is the John Robinson
Show, which will exhibit in Oxford
on Thursday next, Sept. 21st.
Mr.. Robinson promises to verify
his statement when he says in ~
procession will be heard no.

80 IS, more ponies, more peo-
mounted and more men, women
and children than with any other
show. Yes. you can rely upon what MIR.
Robinson says, and next Thursday
the grand display upon the streets of
Oxford will prove his sincerity and
truthfulness.
Not only does he promise the lar
gest and best circus, the largest me-
nagerie and more performers, but
he goes still further and will present
to his many friends grand Biblical
spectacle, entitled Solomon: His
Temple and the Queen of Sheba," in
the production of which the services
of over five hundred people are re-
quired. Every detail is Biblically
correct and is lifelike representa-.
ton of the beautiful Bible story OF
the enchanting scenes which took
place during the most opulent reign
of Israel's Wisest King; and also re-
member that only on Sept. 21st can
these wonderful features be witness
ed in this part of the country for it
is on that day only the great John

WOULD BE A GREAT rlISTAKE.

\ gentleman informs us that it
comes to him in a manner which he
takes to be reliable that the Southern
Railway is back of the proposition to
buy Durham's stock in the ID. Il n.
Railway. and that they are also
negotiating for the purchase of the
stock owned by Henderson, with a
view of ultimately getting control of
the road. There may be something
in this. We cannot tell. A great
many people in Durham would con-
slider this sad blow to the town. as
they would consider it virtual end
ing of what competition we have with
tide water, and they are of the opin
ion that the town has been greatly
benefited by the presence and opera
tion of the Durham N Northern, to
which they have been very kindly dis
posed. They would dislike very
much to see anything done that would
break up the friendly relations; not
that they think the Southern would
not be friendly to Durham, but they
prefer a variety of Suburban
sun.
The GOLD LEAF hopes there is no
danger of the deal above referred to
being made. 1t would be Il great
mistake on the part of Durham thus
to lose its most important competing
line Of railway Such a thing would
indeed be 4 great blow TO the town of
Durham As for the alleged nego-
tiations for the stock owned by Hen
derson we know nothing.

G. league.
From the Fremont Rural Visitor, of
Sept. 1st., we take the following. Mrs.
league was formerly Miss Mamie
Coghill, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs X.
w. Coghill, of Henderson:
We deeply sympathize with Mr.. and
Mrs. c. c. league in the death of their
only child, Mary Cults, aged one year,
five months and twelve days. She passed
away Thursday morning early. She had
been sick for several weeks with Whooping
cough, was teethng and at last gave way
under congestion of the brain.
Her mission on earth was short, but
we know there is one more bright angel
in Heaven. 1t caused the parents many
a heart ache to give up their precious
jewell.
The bereaved parents have the heart
felt sympathies of the community in this
sad hour. All was done that love and
skill could do, but God seemed to will
she should be transplanted into fiea ven s
soil. "Suffer the children to come unto
me, and forbid them not for of such is the
kingdom of God
"1 stricken parents, cease, be Still,
And humbly bow to God,
Resigned, submissive to His will,
Endure His Christening rod.
I'm fait5, and love, and meekness, say:
The Lord our treasure gave,
In wisdom took our Joy away
Consigned her to the grave.
"No more with pain and anguish weep,
Her active spirit fled;
Your darling but sweetly rests in sleep
Your Mary is not dead
"Released from ills and woes of time,
Translated to the skies,
She lives within a happier cline.
She blooms in Paradise
