The Norfolk (Va.) Virginian-Pilot,
viewing the results in North c. rolina
on End inst, said this, and it means all
that and even more:
For the white man, it means an or
derby and business government, Great
ing respect at home and commanding
admiration abroad. 1t mean that
scalawags and carpet-baggers, who
have led the Carolina negro into so
much trouble, will be forever relegated
to the rear. 1t means that issues will
be settled upon their merits, and men
will be elected on account of qualifica-
ton. 1t means a new era and a happy
and peaceful one, free from the riots
and disgrace of the past"
The Charlotte Observer writing of
the recent reign Of terror in New Or
leans, said:
"When the hoodlum element ran
amuck and shot at all the negroes in
sight and then fired indiscrimnately
into street cars and crowds of people
wherever assembled, the real white
people threw open their clubs, hotels
and private dwellings for the protection
Of their colored employees That is the
way of real white people everywhere
they are he friends of decent, well-be-

their service"
That is true. During the very i'm
portant Revolution" in Wilmington in
November 1898, we know that many
homes of the first people in social.
standing, were open to the negroes Of
character known to them. We know
h a protection in their homes was
given or offered to respectable colored
people living eight or ten squares dis
tant. We know that one black-woman
unknown to the persons beyond
two weeks, and living very near the
seat of war;" was urged to bring her
aged mother with her and find protec-
ton in a nice residence in the peaceful
part Of the town on one of the first
streets. But we doubt n o there were
hundred of things done like this. These
occurred on the day of the conflict.

Patriotism has almost overshadowed re-

The Grove puts patriotism high in the
scale Of virtues, and 1t always celebrates
the Fourth with great enthusiasm. The
firing OF cannon and the ringing OF bells
awoke the campers long before their usual
rising hour. and until late at night Young
America exploded his bombs and fired his
crackers on the beach east of the plank
walk. The authorities Of the town pro-
hibited him from setting of his fireworks
anywhere west of the beach promenade.
The formal exercises on the camp ground
began In the Temple with the young peo-
pies meeting. where 1000 people sang
the Battle Hymn of the Republic" 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" and other patriotic
music

AMOS HOUSE TORN DOWN.

James Holmes, who for five years has
owned the property on the northeast cor

years stood there torn down, and will
erect in it's place a modern hotel. Green

The quarter known as Greenwich vii
lage was originally the estate of Sir Pc

tiers, one of whom was Lady Abingdon,
wife of the Earl from whom Abingdon
Square derives its name. Among her
earliest tenants was the Amos family,
who almost 200 years ago rented the lit

recently torn down to make room for the
new hotel. While the English had pos

MANY TIMES IN PERIL.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-Steward
Patterson of the British ship Windsor
Park, now in port, has had a rapid sue
cession of thrilling experiences. On the
voyage from Newcastle, Australia, to
San Francisco the cargo of coal caught
fire and it was only by eight days of
hard work that the ship was kept from
being destroyed. The sailors say they
were saved by the direct assistance of
Providence. Every man on the water
front remembers when the British ship
Breblock came into port affre and was
beached at Sausalito. Patterson was
steward of her on that occasion. The
British ship Durisdeer. formerly the
City of Lahore, was wrecked on the
Newcastle bar a year later. Patter-
son was steward of her. The Eccles
fechen. from Portland for Liverpool,
was dismasted in a gale off the coast
and had to put in here in distress. Pat
terson was steward of her and last of
all he was steward of the Blairmore
when she capsized in Mission Bay, and
had it not been for his presence of
mind and prompt assistance half a
dozen more men would have been
drowned

SAILED FROM THE COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-Four
ldeep-water vessels sailed to-day three
of which had been detained in port for
many days, waiting for crews. The
brig Galilee got away late this after
noon for Tahiti and the police kept a
watch on her until she left port All
day long number of boarding house
men and runners hung about the vessel
trying to get the sailors out of her to
ship them on other vessels. Captain
DinsmOre became aware early in the
day that trouble was brewing, and noti-
fled the police. Sergeant Mahoney dis
persed the crowd, and to prevent an
other gathering, Policeman Dawer re-
manned by the vessel until she sailed.
The newly christened American bark
Star of Bengal sailed for Melbourne
with a cargo of general merchandise,
largely composed of lumber She was
also held for several days waiting for
crew
The British ships Euphrosyne and
Grenada, which have been detained in
the stream for more than a week try
ing to get sailors enough to man them,
succeeded in getting crews last. night,
and this morning they sailed for
Queenstown, and will race for home. A
number of small wagers have been
made on the result of the voyage.

SOME WINGED FLYERS.

Of late some very fast passages have
been made by sailing vessels and some
magnificent runs have been made
which though not equaling the run Of
the old famous clipper ships, still shows
that America can build as good and as
speedy vessels as any other nation.
There lies before us a statement to the
effect that the American ship Erskine
M. Phelps, of 1898 tons, with cargo
lof 1927 tons of coal from Norfolk, Va,
and bound to Manila, had arrived at
that place after making a passage of
l22 days. 1t is further stated that but
for the Gains encountered the ship
would have made a record run, as she
made 195 knots per day for 95 consecu-
tive days. This is fast sailing indeed
and though not comparable with the
run Of the old time clipper James
Baines, which made 400 miles in "a
hours, nor with that of the Flying
Cloud, credited with 412 miles for "a
consecutive hours, or II knots per hour,
yet the performance of the Erskine NJ
Phelps is a ereditable one and reflects
honor upon her builders. Though for
the time before stated she made only a
little over 8 knots per hour, the fact
that she is built for carrying a large
cargo rather than for speed shows
clearly enough that if required our ship
builders could undoubtedly produce a
clipper ship superior to any that the
world ever saw. The other day the
German ship Schwarzenbeck. arrived at
Falmouth. England, with cargo Of
grain from San Francisco in the re-
IF do
total sailing distance as 10000 miles, the
snip must have averaged 167 knots per
day or about Z knots per hour The
days Of the sailing ship are certainly
not numbered as long as they can make
such showings as above mentioned
