THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

That the Caucasian race is
superior and will be the chief
nation as long as time lasts is not
a debatable question; therefore, it
behooves us to educate this inferior
race to nobler ends and higher pur-
poses. In order to do this we
should see that they have thorough
teachers, better methods, and better
schools. One great need is an
industrial and manual training
normal school for the negroes
situated in the Northern or Central
part of this State. There is but one
way to stop crime, that is to educate
above crime; this alone can solve
the problem.J. N. Daries, Swpt.

America In Competition With European
Products.

At banquet given recently by
the Commercial Club of Cincinnati
Minister Barrett, who has long re-
presented the United States at the
court of the king of Siam, urged
the early and permanent control of
Asiatic markets by this country
and said that where those markets
were $500, 900 people must be
clothed, fed and supplied with
numberless raw and manufactured
products which America can export
in competition with all the world" 2"
If America can export these pro-
ducts in competition with all the
world, why does she need protec-
tive tariff to prevent the world out
side from competing with her at
home? That is the embarrassing
question for which protectionists
will do we'll to prepare an answer.
Did Mr.. Barrett misrepresent,
when he said that we can sell goods
in Asia as cheap or cheaper than
other countries can? Was he fall
styling the facts in order to make
a point in favor Of empireY Or
is the protective tariff imposed for
another reason than to protect the
home market from foreign competi-
ton? One or the other, it must
be. Doubtless the latter is the true
inference. We can compete abroad
with the rest of the world. We
actually do it. In foreign markets
to-day many of our products are
sold cheaper than they are sold at
home. The object of the protective
tariff is, indeed, not to protect our
markets against foreign competi-
tion; it is to enable our trusts to
charge our own people more for
homemade goods than those
goods are sold for abroad. In
other words, protection is base
fraud upon the common people Of
our own country. And this new
policy of empire is another. The
markets of the world would be open
to us if protection were abolished
and ours were opened to the world.
No march Of empire is necessary.
Free trade would accomplish
speedily, and peaceably and COM
pletely, what subjugation can ac-
complish only slowly, with terrible
suffering and loss of life, and then
only in a manner most unsatis-
factory and incomplete. Protection,
trusts and Imperialism are DEVILS
devices. Free trade, free men and
free nations are the ennobling, and
in the only worthy sense, the pro-
fitable ideal.-Public.

What English Friendship Really Means.

While our army is fighting Agui
naldo to extend the territory of the
United States in the Philippines
the Canadians are persistently at
tempting to contract that territory
in Alaska. The Journals Wash,
ington dispatches show that not
withstanding the modus vivendi
which was thought to insure us the
peaceful possession of our property
for brief breathing space, Can
ada is pressing for the permanent
settlement of the alleged dispute
with the preposterous proviso that
we must give her Pyramid Harbor
as condition precedent to arbi-
tratiOn.
The Canadian pretensions in this
Alaskan matter, which were first
amusing and then annoying, have
become exasperating. If England
is well advised she will not strain
Anglo-American friendship by
backing them up. There are many
more British than American inter
ests in all parts of the world in
volved in the maintenance of that
friendship. England has just
abandoned her undoubted rights in
Samoa for the sake of reaching a
good understanding with Germany,
and the general verdict Of the
English press and people is that
she has done wisely. Our friend
ship has no such price. We do
not ask England to forego single
right in our favor. We simply in
sist that she shall not give her
support to Canadian encrOachments
upon rights of ours that nobody
ever thought of disputing until
Canada found that she could make
some of our territory useful in her
business.
The plain truth is that British
friendship for America is based
solely on selfish considerations.
England needs the moral and ma
terial support of this country. It
is a calculating, profit taking af-
fectiOn that moves the British to
such perfervid assurances of devo-
tion. They are sympathetic for
what there is in it, and inasmuch
as blood is thicker than water, they
will try to bleed US.
The Journal predicts that with
in a year the kindly feeling in
America for England will be en-
tirely destroyed. Their eagerness
to realize on the service render
ed during the Spanish war-to
cash in the sentiment of the
situation for material advan-
tages enormously in excess of their
right-will speedily revive the
ancient and natural hostility to
England in this country. We may
confidently look for further insult
ing demands for concessions Of
frontier, for opposition to the Mica
ragua Canal, and in any other di-
rection where annoying questions
can be raised.
Recent diplomatic successes in
Samoa and elsewhere give people
confidence that President Mckinley
will stand firmly on American
rights and concede nothing. 1t
remains to be seen whether he will
favor expansion in the Phillip
pines and contraction at home.
We do not think the President
will run counter to the sentiment
of the nation, but if he does the
democracy will have an issue on
which it could sweep the country.

to know that the State would be rep
resented III this great worlds show. He
offered to cooperate with the board in
the matter, and said the Southern Rail
way would be glad to assist in it by
placing at the boards disposal any ex-
hibits or pictures it might have.
Mr.. Richards was followed by Prof
Holmes, who took up the question of
draining the lowlands of the RoanoKe
He offered to the board the cooperation

what Ice COmpany's Attorneys Say Of
the Witness Who Made Afidavits.

Messrs. Armistead Jones and James
H. Pou of counsel for plaintiff in the
now FAMOUS case of the Hygienic Plate
Ice Fact0fy VS.. The Raleigh and Au-
guSta Air Line speaking yesterday rela-
1--WE to the newly discovered evidence
published in yesterday News and Obser-
yer, said.
1t is the same old dodge. The rail
road has hired negro detective, and
the negro detective has found two of
the meanest negroes in Wake county to
swear for the railroad. One Of these
negroes has been convicted of obtaining
money under false pretenSe. He fled the
State, returned and was again in court
for larceny and was convicted. He has
been UP for a number of minor offenses
The other one dis a regular haIbitue of
the criminal courts and has been tried for
all sorts of offences. These two are the
star witnesses for the railroad, and they
are professional criminals. The man
whom they charge with firing the house
is dead. They can lie ON him safely.
The negro detective figured in trial
at Wilson last June There he worked
up case against another negro for
arson There as here, he had his CON
fesson." There, as here, the detective
swore strong for his employers. There.
as here, no one believed word be
swore to, and a jury made up from the
best white men of Wilson, after only a
few minutes deliberation acquitted the
defendant.
Such is the showing the railroads
now make. 1t seems mighty poor policy
to invest in such evidence.

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice
in such a manner as to bruise it Sc
verely. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons OF whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlain's
Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in a weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm Is unequaled
