NORTH CAROLINA HONORS HEF
GREAT COMMONER.

In erecting q statue TO the memory
OF Zebulon Baird Vance North Caro-
lima honors herself not less than the
man whose figure in bronze will hence
forth look out toward the sunrise from
Capitol Square. Virginia had part and
parcel in the fruits of the work he did;
she joins his native State in doing
homage to his memory. AS the war
Governor of his State. he fed and
clothed and cared for the men who
stood shoulder to shoulder with Vir-
ginians in every battle fought upon
Virginia soil. Afterward, when polti-
cal mischance left this State naked
to her enemies at The National Capt.
toll. Zebulon b. Vance made her cause
his own. He was popular throughout
this city. where he was intimately
known.
Vance was a man of the larger sort
Let there be no mistake about that
He was elemental; he was born, not
made. Not since Nathaniel Macon had
North Carolina produced his peer In
deed, it is not too much to say that he
will be ranked with Macon in the his
tory of his State.
The secret of Nance's hold on the
hearts of his people was not hard to
divine. He was essentially human; in
tenseIy democratic. lie had the con
fidence. the respect, the deep and abid-
ing affection of every class to an ex-
tent not surpassed by any man North
Carolina has produced. lie deserved
to be concentrated allie for his viz
tues and his distinG ulshe1 services. In
consid cation Of both his State has
commended his example to posterity,
and has done well. jf she would 40
even better let her give to the coun-
try another Zebulon b. Vance.

THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION AS
TO THE PHILIPPINES.


be confusion in the mind of any intelli-
gent person as to the difference be-
tween the Democratic program for the
Philippines as outlined in the platform
of the party and the program Mr.. Nc
Kinley is now following, and which
was formally endorsed by the Phila-
delphia convention. Yet, there seems
to be a disposition in quarters that
should he better informed, to hold that
the two schemes come to practically
the same thing, and that each would
encounter the same opposition from
the FilipinoS.
This argument is based on the de-
claration of the Democratic partform
that we are first to establish a stable
government in the Philippines. This,
say the Imperialists, and some who
deny that they are of that faith and
order, would necessitate the same poll
cy of forcible aggression that Mr.. Nc
Kinley is pursuing, and would, in eff
feet, come to an indefinite occupation
of the islands, since there would be
war with those of the islanders who
are opposed TO American interference
The argument is plausible enough
If one be disposed to ignore the facts
The falacy of the whole contention
rests in the assumption that the Fill
pinos would object to the establish
ment of II stable government under
American auspices il they once under
stood that the establishment OF such
government was to be followed by the
q n nNxr1 n6 frn1 INF nf hot ind
dence. All the evidence goes to show
that had this been the original pur-
pose of the United States, hostilities
with the Filipinos would never have
been begun, and that they would now
cease if n promise, in good faith, OF
ultimate independence were made to
the insurgents.
The only similarity between the Re
publican program and that of the
Democrats is that each contemplates
as the first step the establishment of a
stable government. With that the
likeness ceases. The Republicans
thereafter favor holding the Filipinos
permanently as subjects; the Demo-
Gratis declare they should be given in
dependence. TO assume that the Fill
pino would he as much opposed to the
one scheme as the other is prepostcr-
GUS. II we are to credit the Imperial
ists the Filipnos are so astute as to
keep fully abreast of sentiment in this
country and to be regular readers of
the Congressional Record and the
American press. a people OF such in
telligence would hardly consider
temporary government imposed by
this country as equally Objectionable
with permanent political slavery.
The Democratic program means no
Sinking OF duty. 1t means rather n
recognition and performance of our
duty in the light of humanity, not of
commercialism, and in keeping with
the principles this country has pro-
fessed and maintained from the first.
To say that it would occasion us any
loss of power or prestige to give in
dependence TO the Filipinos, or that
it would entail the slightest avoidance
of international obligations. is to as
sert that prestige comes solely from
the exercise OF force, or the ability to
exercise 1t, and that International obli-
cations are superior TO and contradic-
tory Of our duty to ourselves.

skeptical without Indictment? Is the
perpetuation OF American institutions
to be assured by impressing upon our
people the idea that these institutions
rest on fundamental error? Will not
the logical outcome OF this be the
weakness of civic skepticism. rather
than the strength of civic faith?

good story, or a chapter from some
