DEPEW AND WASHINGTON.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew, upon his
return from a pleasure trip to Eu-
rope, seemed to be nightly tickled
because the United States had left
it's old position and was mixing up
in European questions. Among other
things he said:
Nineteen hundred is a very graft
fving year for America abroad. One
of the phenomena of the close of
the nineteenth and the opening of
the twentieth century is the position
our country has taken in two years.
Before 1898 no ruler or Minister in
Europe was interested in American
opinion or action. Now the situation
is the reverse. Every cabinet reck-
ons on the attitude of the United
States in formulating plans.
THE powers are so nicely balanced
that our position on Eastern ques-
tons is of vital Importance. The one
question is, What will the United
States do in China, and afterward
in the Orient?"
Washington held the opposite view
from the one that makes Depew
chuckle. He said:
Europe has set of primary in
terests which to us have none or IL
very remote relation. Hence she
must be engaged in frequent contro-
versies the causes of which are essen
TALLY foreign to our concerns. Hence,
therefore, it must be unWlse III us
to implicate ourselves by artificial ties
in the ordinary vicissitudes of her pol
icies or the ordinary combinations
and collisions of her friendships and
her enmities. Cur detached and dis
tant situation invites and enables us
to pursue a different course. If we
remain one people under an efficient
government, the period is not far off
when we may defy material injury
from external annoyance; when we
may take such an attitude as wall
cause the neutrality we may at any
time resolve upon to be scrupulously
respected; when belligerent nations,
under the impossibility of making ac-
QUESTIONS upon us, will not lightly
hazard giving us provocation; when
we may choose peace or war, as our
interest, guided by justice, shall coun-
sci. Why forego the advantage of so
peculiar a situation? Why quit our
O"II " StdIll upon 1OICISh SlOuiiu :
Why, by Intervening our destiny
with that of any part of Europe, en-
tangle our peace and prosperity in
the tolls of European ambition, rival
ship, interest, humor or caprice?'
This wise counsel is limited by no
period of time. Today, under the
leadership of such men as Hanna, De-
pew and Mckinley we are going eX-
actly contrary to the course feared
by Washington, and we are entang-
ling our peace and prosperity in the
tolls of European ambitions, interest,
numor or caprice" For ourselves, we
prefer to cling to the safe admoni-
tons of Washington, which preserve
the Republic, than to follow the new
and strange leadership of Depew and
Hanna which leads to Empire.

BAILEY rs NOT THE BAPTIST
CHURCH.


Some days ago, ]. William Bailey
lett his business as editor of a reli-
Slous paper, and essayed to dictate
10 the Democratic leaders the line of
policy the party should pursue in the
natlonal campaign in this State. He
went so far as to make the threat
that unless his dictation was accept
ed he would vote for Mckinley "as
protest. He also denounced this
paper and nearly every other Demo-
cratic paper in the State as guilty of
ga breach Of faith and as advocating
a policy of ''cowardliness" and hurled
other epithets at them because they
had the temerity to say that McKin-
ley ought to be criticized for appoint
ing negro pastmasters in Eastern
North Carolina.
When he quit his position as editor
Of a religious paper and demanded
to boss the Democratic party, he in
vited an investigation into his Gre
dentials, as an adviser of the Demo-
cratic party. His own utterances
proved that he had Systematically adj
vocated everything the Republicans
favored in national politics, had slop-
ped over in his praise of Mckinley,
and in State matters had stood with
the trusts and tax-dodging corpora
tions. This exposure convicted him
of at least being unworthy of giving
advice to the Democracy.
Smarting under the proof of his
hypocrisy, afforded by his own writ
ings, Bailey rushes to cover, and tells
his readers that he has been attacked
because ''some one is anxious to in
iure the Biblical Recorder" that a
bitter fight was waged on himself
not on account of that issue (appoint-
ing negro postmasters) but on ac-
count of the Recorders conservative
course" and ''to break down the
strength of the Recorders advocacy
of the Voluntary Principle
Bailey knows that these three ac-
cusations are unfounded. He has
been severely, but not too severely,
criticized for his political ways and
methods. There isn't Baptist in the
State who has read all that has been
written who believes that any attack
has been made on the Biblical Re
corder, or the Baptist Church, and
Bailey's attempt to cover up his Rad
icalism by hiding behind the church
and the Recorder more than estab-
fishes all that has been said of him.
If he had kept out of politics, he
would not now be playing the
martyr, and saying in effect:
Il am the Baptist Church
and anybody that tells of my subser-
vience to trust magnates and the Re
publican party is fighting the Bibli-
cal Recorder and the Baptist Church"
We have too much faith in the spir-
it of intelligence, justice and fair play
of the membership of the Baptist
Church to believe that such methods
will be approved by that church.

The Morning Boast thinks vice
President Andrews entitled to 1.-The
thanks of the public" for putting up
the Doodle to run that corporation
sheet. AS matter of fact, however,
by the grace of Simonton, he makes
the taxpayers foot the bill by intro
ducing government by injunction
which denies to the State authorities
the right to assess railroad property
in North Carolina. The Boast is a
stout defender of tax-dodging and
government by injunction. To fool
the people while railroads dodge just
taxes was the prime reason why vice
President Andrews established the
Tribune and afterwards changed it's
name to the Post.

AS DEAD AS RAMEsEs II.

Wilmington Messenger.
The Washington Posts paragrapher
says
Perhaps the Hon. Marion Butler fears
that the North Carolina Democrats will
not allow him to make Bryan speeches in
that State"
He can speak TO his hearts content
if he can get audiences. But the North
Carolina Democrats neither count on his
help nor fear his opposition. He is as
dead politically in this State as the
mummy of Ramescs II in the Alexandrian
museum is dead to political success in
Egypt under English occupation.

How will the $4,000 or 100, 900 negro
voters in North Carolina vote next No
vember? Will not all of them vote for
Mckinley, the man who appoints negro
postmasters in North Carolina? VIII any
good Democrat in North Carolina vote
for Mckinley? If there are some white
men in North Carolina who prefer Nc
Kinley to Bryan they will have the aid
Of the solid negro vote towards carrying
the State for him. Yet some white men
say the negro issue is not a legitimate
one for the November election. We think
il is. 1t is.

Up to date the Philippine Islands
have cost the taxpayers of the United
States $1S6,67S,OO0, and the daily ex-
pense is 100000. In other words we
paid Spain twenty million dollars for
property that has cost us $166,000,0O0
to try to get possession of, and at
the present outlook it will cost us
as much more before the war is over.

Elizabeth City Economist.
Should the people be deaf to the
teachings Of our fathers, should they
be blind to the circumstances that sur
round us and elect Mr.. Mckinley to an
other term of the office of President
and thus endorse his ambitious leanings
the whole fabric of our institutions may
be ruined before the people can again
call halt in the grand career of i'm
perialism.
Then indeed will all the other politi-
cal issues that are presented to us pale
into insignihcance, and tariffs, and trusts,
and social issues will be of minor i'm
portance, before the imperial will Of a
ruler of the United State
