COL. WhDDELL'S LECTURE.
His Appearance Before the Henderson
Lyceum on the Evening of the 9th.

The lecture of Hon. A. N. Waddell
before the Henderson Lyceum We'd
nesday evening of last week was
greatly enjoyed by those who heard
him. He was greeted by good sized
audience composed Of our most re-
fined and intelligent people and for
more than one hour they were enter
tanned and enditied by the gifted
speakers eloquence and earuestness.
Col. Waddell read beautiful and
well wrought paper founded on the
early colonial history of the Cape
Fear section, which was highly jenoy-
able. 1t was written in the authors
best vein land whether as writer or
speaker Col. Waddell is a master Of
pure and elegant English), and run
ming through it was pretty and in
teresting romance, the names and
facts being historically correct. 1t
was charming bit of word painting
Astounding in wooded walks and sing
ing birds, and freighted with the
fragrance of orange blossoms and
lovers vows.
After the reading of this paper by
special request OOl w duueu SPOKE
briefly of some more recent history,
history with which we are all more or
less familiar and which we are all in
terested in. We refer to the situation
in Wilmington before and Immediate
lv after the election Of 1898. He
spoke modestly, but frankly, mildly,
but meaningly saying the race ques-
ton is not a question OF politics or
party expediency. 1t is a question of
social order affecting the very founda
ton and fabric of society. With the
preservation of our civilization in
volved there can be no doubt as to the
attitude of the Anglo-SaNon race.
The white man has always ruled and
he will always continue to rule. And
it is better that he should, better for
him and better for the negro.
Col. Waddell referred briefly to the
Montgomery conference and the views
expressed there. He thanked the
audience for the honor done him and
promised to visit Henderson again in
the near future and make political
speech.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The popular sentiment in favor OF
tbs election of United States senators
BY direct vote of the people crystalized
last Friday in the passage by the house
of representatives by an almost unani-
nous vote. of a resolution declaring IN
favor of an amendment to the constitu-
ton requiring senators to be elected
by this method in the future
There is no doubt that the recent
disclosures in the Clark case. and this
fierce contests over the election Of a
United States senator, which every
now and then occur in the state leg
islatures, have done much toward
creating a wide impression that the
present method Of selecting members
of the national upper house is not the
best that could be devised. The COM
plant is made that legislatures some
times defeat the will of the people and
send men to the senate whom the vot-
ers do not favor. 1t is further said
that chances of corruption are less in
the direct vote method than they are
in the present system. However this
may be, there is no doubt that many
people want a change, or at least want
a chance to express themselves upon
the subject.

WOMEN MUST WAIT.

The war department does not con-
slider Manila the proper place for
American women and has no hesitan-
cy about saying so. There have been
numerous requests lately on the part
of the woman relatives of army officers
stationed i'll the Philippines for the
privilege of joining the latter. The
conditions have not altered recently,
and it will probably be some time be-
fore this privilege is granted. To all
the requests which are received for
transportation to Manila on army
transports Secretary Root has written
the following letter:
Gen. Otis has requested that the
ladies of officers families should nou
be. permitted to go to Manila. The
officers themselves are liable at any
time to be ordered to distant parts of
the islands, so that they are unable to
furnish protection for their families,
and Manila is not yet place where
it is proper that an American woman
should live without protection. In
such cases it will be necessary for the
commanding general to furnish guards
and I can not impose. upon him that
necessity. # lady has male relatives
living in Manila, in whose family she
will live, and who will furnish her
protection in the absence of the officer
upon whose account she asks for trans
portation, the quartermaster general is
authorized to give her passage on a
fra snort ..

THE SHIPPER MUST PAY.

Chicago Tribune: The war revenue
law of 1898 makes it the duty of every
express company to issue to the per-
son from whom any goods are accept
ed for transportation manifest or
other evidence of receipt, to which
shall be attached one-cent stamp. No
dispute arose as to who should pay the
the tax. Shippers contended the ex-
press companies should do so. The
latter said they ought not to do so
and would not. They have the whip
hand, and have made shippers pay for
the stamps. The United States SUI
preme court decided yesterday that
the express companies have interpreted
the law correctly. Perhaps it would
make no difference to the shippers if
that court had decided the other way,
for in ali likelihood the companies
would raise their rates enough to cover
the cost of the stamps used. That is
what some of them threatened to do
when this question was first discussed.
There is but one way in which the
shippers can be relieved from the eN-
pense and annoyance of buying stamps
TO put on express receipts. That is to
repeal the tax. The money it produce
es is not needed. The tax can be re-
pealed without disturbing any branch
of industry. 1t can be reimposed
without Inconvenience should more
revenue be needed. That is one merit
OF documentary stamp taxes. AS those
taxes are not needed now they should
be abolished. Their continuance on
the statute books creates a surplus,
which excites the voracity of pension
sharks and subsidy-beggars.
