Are Ready to Leave.

London, Feb. 6, 4 a. m.-Military opin-
ion in London continues to assume from
very slender materials, that General Bull
Ger is again throwing his army against
the Boer forces. A retired general, Sir
VIM. Henry Green, whose distinguished
career gives weight to nj opinion, thinks
that General Butler, with 5000 men, ID
making a wide detour to the west and
north in order to avoid the toughest
places Of the country. As General Bull
Ter must have thousands of wagons. Sir
William Green points out that his ad-
vance would necessarily be slow.
No authentic word 10 at hand, save
that the war Office reafirmed orally to
newspaper inquirers at a late hour that
it could not coufirm the reported adj
vance there and that the Natal situation
rests.
1t is from the western field that more
ations are apparently to begin. General
French, who has now returned to Rens-
berg from his conference with Lord Rob-
erts, has sent what is described as al
overwhelming force of infantry to seize

Hon. James Bryce, SO distinguished

reefs and the consequent removal of
the magnet which now draws British
immigration will leave Dutch rather
than British stock in predominance

toriety he hopes TO achieve. He is the
author of a book. In His Steps and
simultaneously with his assuming the
editorial chair of The Topeka Daily
Capital. he mailed circulars to the
weekly Newspapers Of the country pro-
posing to hrnish his book to them at
two-fifths of its price, to be sold by
them as a large profit, if they would
give liberal space in their columns
to sensational and fulsome euloEies of
himself and his writings" The whole
thing is a deception
The Washington Posts parasrapher
is after Parson Sheldon in this wise:
The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon should bear
in mind the fact that Jesus never made
a contract with a lecture bureau.
The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon should be
thankful that the postoffice depart
ment didn't bar his alleged newspaper
from the mails"
II we are not mistaken this clerical
humbug gave out that he would s1ii
the paper as he thought the Son Of God
would edit it IL here. Was there ever
such presumption? Sheldon has made
big money out of a third-rate book

more exactly expressive, of charlatan-

an advertising scheme, we thought, of
a minister who loves and courts noto-
riety. and so it turns out, we suppose.
We have not seen his hrst issue out
so far as We have seen notices OF IT, we
conclude it is pretentious failure The

The chief card OF the Pritchard- But
white men by swearing they viii be
disfranchised IL the amendment Isl
adopted That is the standing lie and
1t has its effect We feel sure that al
considerable number of white votersl
are being deceived and Influenced BY
the active lying as to the effects Of the
proposed amendment They are made
inactive or they are placed in a state
Of doubt and apprehension when real
ly there Is no occasion for IL. The
real intent of the amendment Is easily
seen and its effects are by no means
doubtful No white elector in North
Carolina viii be touched by that
amendment If he has had either a
father or grandfather who voted or
could have voted prior to 1867. The
effect in North Carolina will be to
disfranchise more than $1,000 negroes.
we suppose. Pritchard admits that Co.
900 negroes will be able to vote under
the amendment. This is owing to the
fact that the white tax payers have
for more than thirty years borne the
burden of trying to educate the ne
groes.
That the white men who are not edu-
Gated, who can not read and write,
will be disfranchised is lie out of the
whole cloth and is repeated from de-
sign, with a purpose to deceive by the
white gang who are at the old game of
befooling and hoodwinking credulous
people.
The grandfather clause efficiently
protects every white voter and gives
all the full right to register and TO
vote. To register a white man can do
so under the authority granted of
both the 4th and 5th clauses of the
amendment. He can register under
the 9TH clause because either he or his
ancestors could vote prior to 1867. The
very fact that a white man wears a
white skin is proof enough as TO mis-
right TO vote. Do not let the seven
league liars fool you here
The best educated man in the state,
est lawyer, can no more vote under
the amendment than the humblest,
least instructed white man. They are
equal under this amendment in so far
as the certainty, the guarantee Of the
right to vote is concerned So be assur-
ed that your right to vote is in no dan
ger of disturbance.

STARVING INDIA.

Perhaps the readers of The Messen-
ger are not aware that the greatest,
the most devastating famine known to
the world in recent years is now pro
crossing in India, a vast country with
more than 1000, 600 of people and a
part of the Empress Victoria's great
dominions 1t is reported that millions
have already perished, and it has been
going on for years. Great Britain is
now feeding 100000, but there are
many other millions who need help to
save them from dying Of starvation.
The famine embraces a territory equal
to five states of the size of North Caro-
lima, and it contains a population more
than half of the total population Of the
United States now. Outside of this tre-
mendous area more than 10000 square
miles, there is district that is threat
ened with the same most direful
calamity. and perhaps will soon fall
q ready victim to the awful doom of
humanity. This district is said to en-
brace ZOO square miles, equal to
three large states of our Union and
with a population of q .ono, 900. Great
Britain would be doing Iced = great
and benefcent work if it was spend
ing in bread and meat as much TO feed

London talk is how Lord Salisbury
artfully avafled himself of the offer
OF Mckinney to intervene in behalf of
peace for the Beers. to lay down the
law to the European powers. Lord Sal

as Chamberlain as to the Dutch re-
publics IN South Africa. He has not
been so hot and precipitate an impe-
rialist. The London correspondent Of
TIE New York Evening Post cabIed on

inner currents of British politics for
the last six months can appreciate
what il must have cost Lord Sails
bury to adopt Mr.. Chamberlain's mot

ture IS against heroias in politics, and

Compared with some he is indeed a

he is a statesman of rare ability and
judgment 1t is said that the con-
Quered republics will be guided by the
Canadian model. Perhaps, The CORE
