ANTI-NEGRO TALK A BLUFF.

The Populist orator who goes about
the State saying that he wants an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
hibiting negro holding office, can be
effectually shut up by asking him
two questions:
/. When your party was in power
why did your leader vote to put 1000
negroes in office in North Carolina?
2. Why do you now put two men
on your State ticket who voted for
jim Young in preference to n. B.
Broughton, and why all over the State
are you nominating for office men
who voted for Abe Middleton in pref
erence to one-legged Confederate sol
diers?
Let us see how the Populists are
living up to their professions! One of
the Populist speakers in the Duplin
county Populist convention said that
if any Populist present had ever voted
for negro, the Populists of that
county could get along without his
services. In a few minutes somebody
put in nomination for the House Mr..
Maury Ward, who represented Duplin
in the House in 1897. After he had
been suggested, Mr.. Ward said he ex-
pected he was out of harmony with
that convention "because | have voted
for negro and 1 voted you all for
him, too"
There was a one-legged Confederate
soldier, named Marshburn, a Populist,
who was a candidate for Doorkeeper
when Ward was in the House but
Ward voted for Abe Middleton, the
negro Republican leader in Duplin
county. Yet Ward was nominated
unanimously. HE WAS THE ONLY
POPULIST IN THE CROWD WHO
HAD VOTED FOR \ NEGRO.
Before the convention began bust
ness, a Populist orator cried out: See
if there is a negro in the hall. We
Populist can't hold a convention with
negro in the hail." And then they
nominated the only man in the par
ty in the county who had voted for
Abe Middleton against an old Con-
federate soldier.

THEY GO ON PUsING.
comment necessary?

Some months or weeks ago meet
ing of the Republican and POpulist
bosses was held in Washington City.
The reason for meeting in that city
was that the participants wished to
be near Mr.. Mark Hanna so as to get
the benefit of his experience and adj
vice. 1t was understood that Mr..
Hanna advised against a formal fusion
and that he convinced all sides that
they could get along better by doing
the thing in the counties and on the
sly than by an announcement of fus
ion in the State convention. AS he
furnishes the sinews of war for both
brigades of Jim Young's army of
Black and-Tan, his plan was adopted.
The Radicals and Populists nominated
separate State tickets, and gave it out
that there was TO be no fusion. No
Republican believed this, but few
Populists did. These few are being
rapidly undeceived.
We have been keeping up with the
proceedings of Populist and Republi-
can State conventions. In almost
every instance, the ticket is made up
CT both Republicans and Populists. In
some counties, notably Chatham, this
course is pursued: The Populists
named the full ticket but put on two
Republicans for the Legislature, and
on Saturday the Republicans came
along and endorsed the ticket. That's
the way fusion was arranged there.
In other counties the old plan of each
party naming a part of the ticket was
adopted, and it is a mixed up ticket
of true Re-pop-licans.
And every time the negro vote is
considered and no man Objectionable
to the negro is put on the ticket. But
this will fool nobody.
The white folks are not only done
with negro rule they are done also
with white men who cater to the ne
gro for his vote. 80 a-4l

PREPARING TO RESIST.
The Beers Have Erected Formidable
Defenses in Roberts Path to
Pretoria.

NEW YORK, April PA dispatch
to the Tribune from London, says:
There was last night the usual Sun
day medley Of ominous rumors and
confused c0nJectures from the seat Of
war, with heavy budget Of mail cor
respondence on minor incidents Of the
period Of mastery inactivity. The most
serious news was the evidence from
Boer sources that formidable prepara-
tions have been made to resist the ad-
vance Of General Roberts army. The
Beers are vaguely reported to have
mounted So guns at Kroonstad and to
have constructed a circuit Of defenses
eight miles long around Pretoria.
It is foregone conclusion that Pre-
toria will be vigorously defended but
the experts are not prepared to accept
evidence from a Boer source that
Kroonstad has been strongly fortified.
Kroonstad offers strong advantages for
defence, but General Roberts with his
vastly superior force can turn the posi-
tion by either flank and compel its
evacuation with a good chance of in
flicting a decisive defeat which will

The Roers are reported as mastering
every man capable OF carrying "A rifle
and as taking their ambulance corps
into the fighting line. They are alleged
to have from 5000 to 10000 men In the
district between Dewet's Dorp and
Wepener. where heavy lighting Is re-
ported Friday and Saturday They
are also described as occupying a
line 10 miles long In upper Natal and
as shelling the British positions at
Glands Laagto on Saturday with un-
ahated spirit
The motive OF this activity IA not
clear. but II is surmised that the Beers
are anxious to prevent the transfer OF
the British forces from Natal to Bio
enfontein and Boshoff. which appar-
emily is still In progress.
The Beers have also been active In
front OF General Meihuen and at Four
teen Streams and Mafeking remains

silent at midnight and the results Of

were not announced. although there
was little reason to doubt that there
had been serious fighting Saturday.

which he hopes congress will pass this
session. He will return to Washington
today. In the course OF a conversation
had with him at the Fifth Avenue ho-
tel last night, Governor Brady said:
From present appearances the dis
covery OF gold in he Cape Nome dis
trict promises to be one OF the most
important finds In Alaska. At first
people were skeptical Of the reports
that gold existed in that district in
paying quantities, but results have
proved that there were no grounds
for doubt. At the end Of the season
the value Of gold produced was ST.
100000, one million having been taken
from the beach and the remainder from
the gulches The finding Of gold upon
sea beach is something in gold min
ing that Is new. II Is believed that the
deposits run out beneath the water,
possibly even beyond the three mile
limit, so that It may come out before
long that We shall see the unique spec
ships. The latest news that has come
out is that the Tundra Is gold bearing
and sufficiently rich to pay handsome
returns.
But the main thing that Is agltating
as now is that we want congress to do
something for Alaska. It is impossl-
bic to get along without law courts for
one thing 1t Is unfair to expect Cen
eral Randall, with few troops, to keep
in order the $4,000 or 10000 people who
are expected to go to Alaska during
the coming season. The bill which is
now before the senate would give US
much needed relief from the unsatis-
factory state Of things which we now
have to contend. with. It would give
US civil code. If congress should fail
to give US these laws and courts, 1t
would be a calamity, because fully 25,-
900 peOple are reported to be already
booked for Alaska by the transporta-
ton companies when the season opens.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April IT,
The news that Charles II. Allen, as
sistant secretary Of the navy. has been
appointed the first civil governor OF
Puerto Rico was published throughout
the island a few hours after 1t was
made known in Washington. The new
government promises to bring content
ment.
When Mr.. Allen arrives he will find
that there some problems which will
tax his abilities to the utmost There
are political difficulties to work out
politicians to steer clear OF. systems
of taxation TO be established and any
number or rural and municipal matters
to renovate. To a large extent the fu-
ture of Puerto Rico rests with the man
ner with which the new governor con-
ducts affairs.
AS a whole the people have a good
word for General Davis. 1t has been
his policy to govern the island in such
a manner so that the people them
selves had as much voice as the princi-
pie Of military government would. al
low
The Puerto Rican people are fond Of
pOmp and ceremony and would like to
see the new governor arrive conveyed
by whole fleet of warships and escort
ed to his new residence by a regiment
uniformed with gold and silver. The
more elaborate the ceremony, the high
er the governor will be in the peoples
esteem. The military people have
lacked the grandeur to which the Puer-
to Ricans are accustomed.
Gen. Davis affects more style than did
General Henry,but he also drives in
his Garage almost unattended. When
the Spanish generals appeared in pub
lie they were resplendent with gold
lace and braid and medals. The very
simplicity of dress Of the American Of
ficers has brought less respect from the
people than they bore toward the Span
ish officers.
It is not to be expected that the new
governor will be attired in a gorgeous
uniform, but the more impressive the
ceremony and the louder the trumpets
blow. the more they will respect him.
