Orr Imperial policy has got us into
the fight over the question as to who
shall be king of Samoa; and has
placed us in most pronounced atti-
tude of opposition to the self-govern-
ment of the Samoans. Samoa has a
king; but he was elected by the peo-
pie; and though he is satisfactory to
the majority of the Samoans, to the
German representatives, he is not
persona grata to the English; and so
our ship, the Philadelphia. Admiral
kautz, commanding. has joined the
British cruisers in bombarding the
villages along the coast supporting
the King, Mataafa. This Smelling
and some ensuing fighting ashore
resulted in the killing and wounding
of number of persons, including
natives and a few English. Germans
and Americans. We have taken to
the sword, and we are likely to have
enough of it. before alrs done,-even
though no war result between any
two of the great powers from this
collision at Apia.

rapids of a Niagara from which moth

MANHOOD.

(John TroIand in Springfield Republican.
He stands the test where souls are tried,
And truest honor finds,
Who conQuers, manfully. the pride
That rules in feeble minds;
Who seeks not rest in LIES career,
Nor yet beyond the grave;
Whose heaven is duty nObleSt Sphere
Not that which idles crave.
He covcts not the lordling's place,
Nor vainly strives to scan
The Masters mind. but asks for grace
TO do the best he can.
His peace not torpOr OF the soul,
But harmony within
RenOuncing self to reach the goal
And triumph over sin.
Once on the pillow his hand he lays,
His eye ne'er backward turns;
Fortune he seeks in virtues ways,
Ill-brOught success he spllrns,
Looking his fellow in the face
He sees Gods image there;
Whate'er may help to lift the lace,
His hand is quick to share.
Meekly he takes LIES daily tasks
AS part of Heavens great plan;
This bOOn-aught else denied-he asks,
To be manly man.
Angels attend on such an one,
And stars their courses move,
TO light his pathway to the throne
And garnish it with love.

Supt. Reid Drawing Plans for Five
Handsome Trains.
{ Raleigh Morning POst.)

(Raleigh Morning POst.)
The Seaboard officials state that
the Cheraw and Columbia extension
will be completed before the fall
months. Arrangements have already
been made to put big construction
force at that point as soon as the sur
veys in progress have been CON-
pleted.
Mr.. Reed, the superintendent OF
motive power of the Seaboard, is now
drawing plans for five magnificent
trains, which will be used for Florida
travel. These plans are to be sub
mitted to Mr.. St. John for approval,
but Mr.. Reed stated few days since
that he had instructions to draw
plans for the very finest trains that
can be made.
As had been announced before, the
superintendent OF motive power is
also drawing designs for twelve
powerful passenger engines. These
engines will be strictly up to date in
every respect, capable of pulling the
heaviest trains at great speed.

IN an article on North Carolina's
proposed suffrage amendment to her
Constitution, the New York Tribune
SAYS:
That this amendment violates the
spirit of the Federal Constitution and
the pledge given by North Carolina after
the civil war, there can be no doubt
Yet there is, perhaps, no ground for
expectation that it would be negatived
by the Federal Courts. The success of
South Carolina and other States in
DISTINGUISHING the negroes by indirection
points the way to the Supreme Courts
acquiescence in almost any law which
does not in set terms conflict with the
Constitution OF the United States, no
matter how plainly it is intended to dis
franchise people because of race color,
and previous condition of servitude.''
There is cold comfort, indeed, in
this for those who would have Con-
gress ''enforce the clause in the four
teenth amendment bearing on restric-
ton of suffrage" The Tribune has
evidently been studying the decision
of the Supreme Court in the Missis-
siPpi case.-Richmond (Va.) Dispatch.

Withdraw When a Resolution

yesterday Harvey county filed pro

Mcpherson were both instructed for NJ.
P. Simpson, the present incumbent Nc

publican majority necessary to over
come the adverse vote in the other
counties she presented a resolution
that that next judge be from this coun-
ty Harvey fought to have this reso-
luton acted upon before the nominal

nominated Simpson by reclamation.

OLD FIGURES IN NEW aARB.

The statistics of the foreign trade of
the United States for the fiscal year
ending June so, have furnished material
formuch editorial comment in the news
papers They have been viewed in all
sorts of lights and the figures have been
combined, arranged and rearranged in
numerous ways but always telling the
same story of prosperity. Among the
recent references to this subject is the
following from the Chicago News:
In the summary furnished by the
treasury department of the foreign
trade of the United States in the fiscal
year ended June 80 the item which at
tracts most attention Is manufactures
$33S 667, 1874
This item of course shows the most
striking gain of any on the list having
nearly doubled from 1895. and the great
gain is taken both as a sign of present
prosperity and a pOrtent of future
wealth, because a cOnsidera bic part of
the value of manufactures consists of
labor.
But, as a matter of fact. from this
standpoint a much more favora BILE
showing might be made by a stricter
classification of the items Thus the
