Greenville, N. c., Feb. 16.+This COM

caused widespread excitement.
Mr.. j. j. Langhinghouse, one of the
largest and most prominent farmers of
Pitt county. was held up on the high
way and robbed of $500 in cash, and
5000 in Norfolk exchange.
Mr.. Langhinghouse came to Green

manned over night with his son, DR..
Charles Langhinghouse He started
home at $3.50 o'clock this morning. and
while crossing swamp, seven miles
from town. four negroes, armed with
axes and revolvers. sprung from the
bushes and demanded his money or his
life.
Mr.. Langhinghouse was unarmed
and the highwaymcn soon relieved him
of his cash and exchange, after which
they fled into the swamp. They did
him no bodily harm.
A few miles further there was n tel-
ephone station. Mr. Langhinghouse
drove to this and acquainted officers
mere with the facts above narrated An
armed posse was organized and started
In pursuit of the robbers. The sheriff
telegraphed for bloodhounds, which ar
rived this morning and were at once

Considerable excitement prevails here
and the populace, unless restrained, lie

DECLARE MARSHAL LAW.

The Lewiston Tribune vies with
the Sb0keSman-ReOiezV in blacklist
ing the Coeur d'Alenes. Both pa
pers represent cities that are COM
mercially stagnant, and behold
with envy the prosperity of this
region. The Tribune magnifies
every item of disorder which occurs
here and cries aloud that all the
rigor of marshal law should be ap-
piled lest somebody gets hurt. In
its own city crime is multiplying.
Only a few days ago a stranger
ventured to stay in the city over
night. The next morning he was
found dead, having been poisoned.
Not long ago it had clubbing
scrape, resulting in the death of
one of the fighters. Officials rob
the county and are insulted if any
questions are asked. Municipal
life is so corrupt that business men
have to nominate independent tick
cts in order to keep some one from
carrying the mountains away.
Gambling is open and above board,
and not confined to the dens. Its
streets are cesspools, the stencil
thereof arising to heaven. An OBJ
server might conclude that the
Tribune could be of service to hui
manity by condemning the mani
fold evil of its own habitation.-

He reports that a great many
Americans are going to the islands,
and that the resources of the islands
are wonderful, The war is practi-

the mountains and attack town

is 1T A DISGRACE?

The Cuban plank of the Demo
cratic national platform contains
the following; "The war ended
nearly two years ago.. profound
peace reigns all over the island, and
still the administration keeps the
government of the island from the
people, while Republican carpetbag
officials plumber its revenues and
exploit the colonial theory to the
disgrace Of the American people. "
Let facts show how utterly false
and unjust isthat declaration. I'm
der the treaty with Spain one year
was given to all Spanish residents
in Cuba to determine whether they
would retain their Spanish citizen
ship or become citizens of Cuba.
Until the expiration of that time,
no popular election could be held
because it could not be determined
who were and who were not citi-
zens. As soon os the year was up,
about three months ago, prepara-
tions were made for general elect
ions. The elections have been held,
and to a very large extent, local

government passed into the hands
Of the people Of Cuba. in the
mean time public schools were es-
tablished all over the island, large
forces of men were employed in
cleaning the cities and towns of the
filth of centuries, new roads were
built and old ones improved, the
commerce of the. island was re-es-
tablished and industries revitalized,
fifteen hundred native school teach
ers were brought to Cambridge,
Mass, without cost to themselves
or people, 10 be instructed in i'm
proved methods Of teaching, new
post roads and improved postal fa-
cilities were established, and gen
orally more public and private inn
provement and advancement made
than had been witnessed in all the
900 of Spanish rule. And, now
the United States troops are being
withdrawn as rapidly as possible
and arrangements progressing for
the holding of a constitutional con-
vention. The moment that the
Cubans have formulated and adopt
ed a national constitution, the gov
ernment of the United States will
quietly depart and the island will
be left to the management of its
own people. These are a few of
the things the Republican admins
tration at Washington has done for
the Cubans, and more, when the
Spanish war began there was a
debt of three hundreds of millions
Of dollars resting on the Cubans.
The United States wiped it off the
slate add started the people off with
clean public ledger, And this is
what Democrats call disregard of
solemn pledges and disgrace to
the American people. What do
you think of it, fellow citizens?
