parably more so than the Cubans. This
entitled them to consideration in the
negotiations with Spain, and its denial
10 them was gross violation Of inter
national law which vitiated the treaty.
Seventh. The Spsniards having no
control OF any part of the islands but
Manila could not deliver the property
which they pretended TO cede, and the
contract was, therefore, absolutely, VOID,

as allies, knowing their desire for inde'

honor to respect that desire.
Ninth. Having for over year con-
tinued a merciless warfare on the FLIP
mos and being by the latest accounts
no nearer to their subjugatlon by
conquest than we we're at the beginning,
we are bound by all rules of humanity
and international law to withdraw from
the conflict. We compelled Spain to
withdraw from Cuba for less reason. In
less than a year 1--WE have killed more
than 10000 Of the enemy, and yet their
forces are within few miles OF Manila.
Can such a condition OF affairs be shown
in Cuba under Spain2
Tenth. Even if we had title to the
islands we could not claim the land or
its people or their sovereignty. Sow
ereignty is not thing to be bought and
sold, 1t is too sacred a right for that.
We may buy property, but never allie
glance.
Lastly. No anti imperialist who iav-
ored the treaty looked upon it as giving |
us any other than a technical right, !
which took the matter out OF The

permitted us to deal in the same gener-
Gus spirit with the Finpinos we had

to deal with the Cubans-to give them

gists for our war on the Filipinos is my
excuse for availing myself of your col
umns to examine our claims under that
title. In the first place, many of the
commissioners sent by the United States
20 negotiate that treaty were Senators
who were afterwards to pass upon their
own work. This alone vItiates the treaty
from an American standpoint, and when
we consider that it was passed by the
casting vote OF the Vice President,
renders 1t utterly valueless,
Second. The cession Of the Philippines
was not the voluntary act OF Spain, but
forced from her as "sine qua non"
From an International point OF view, this
was fatal.
Third The various dickers and
alleged dickers with Senators to influ.
euce their votes were notorious More
than one Senator has stated that he was
induced to vote for the treaty by the
promise that there was no intention to
annex the Philippines.
Fourth. The war with Spain Tor the
relief OF Cuba was based on the ground
that Spain, by her tyranny, had forfeited
her right to Cuba. For the same reason
she had forfeited her right to sthe Phil.
ippines. Clearly we could not purchase
a title which we had ourselves alleged to
be worthless. Again, the Filipinos were
in open rebellion, and had large force

before the arrival of Dewey or Aguin

they drove the Spaniards into Manila

city, by the joint action OF both the |
Americans and the Filiplnos, the latter
were not allowed to enter the city, and |
were forced back from the ground which
their own vaIor had won This deceit
was fatal to any Just claim.

III England Should Annex the two
Republics.

II England Should Annex the two
Republics.
In the Cologne Gazette OF June is a
very interesting personal letter by Mr..
Rejtz, discussing the political conse
quences if the British should succeed in
destroying the independence OF the two
South African Republics. He says:
If the British should be able to take
possession of our land which God forbid,
what them The English would be
compelled to keep In the two States at
least so, 600 men as a garrison. What
that would cost besides the war costs
already incurredl military experts may
calculate. And whence shall this money

AS soon as England should dare to
retire these troops the population would
indeed find the means to provide them
selves with arms Cfor Africa is not
Ireland), and then, il is self evident,
that not only for years to come, but for
centuries, from sime to time wars and

Finally. shall mention the fact that |
If we, with the aid OF God-and to His
aid we shall always trust-preserve our
country and our liberty, there can be no
question of heavy taxation to be laid
upon the products OF gold mining. The
war did not cost us yet $4,000, 900, and
If il should cost us SIo. 600 600, this
would be due to those mines
which have loaned us abe gold. A tax
laid on the mines would therefore serve
to indemnify those same mines.
Whether the destruction of the repub'
lies would be injurious or not to the
German colony in South Africa and to
Ger man interests in particular, this is a
a question which rather leave to your
self and to your people. A nation so
famous because of its intelligence will
indeed know how to answer this cues.

CAUGHT IN THEIR LIES.

Every day gives fresh reasons why
it was necessary for the new election
law to make stringent regulations
with reference to registration. The
Burke County News tells of negro
who applied for registration. He
claimed that he became 21 on the 9th
day of June. Registrar Perry der
manded proof. The next day the ne
gro brought n Bible in which was
written his name and birthday, June
9th, 1879.
Mr.. Perry asked him how long
that had been written there. Dat was
put dare when / Was a little baby
was the reply. Mr.. Perry turned to
the title page and discovered that the
book was printed in the year 1898.
The negro didn't register. but was
shown the door and asked to retire
hastily"
In Forsyth there was a similar case.
The Sentinel says that a negro was
refused registration. He and his
father went off for proof. Upon their
return this took place:
81 come to straighten matters in
regard to my sons age, so he can
come and register tomorrow" said
the old man, who had his Bible. When
asked who wrote his sons age, the
old negro replied: "A Miss Gum"
The date in the Bible was 1878, but in
looking over the books, the registrar
discovered that the Bible was printed
and bought in 1888. The old negro
swore that his boys name and age
were written in the book day or two
after he was born"
1t is not always easy to catch up
with them. All this arrest of regis
trars is due to the desire of Holton,
Butler & Co., to pad the registration
books with negro boys. The white
folks who vote white have not permit
ted it and no amount Of arrests have
moved them in the past, and no in
cendiary talk will move them in the
future. They are standing firm, fol
lowing out the law.

CHEATED FOR TEN YEARS.

We publish elsewhere in today's pa
per some interesting figures in our
Washington letter. The figures seem
to show that during the past ten
years North Carolina has been entitled
to ten members of the House of Rep
resentatives instead of the nine given
us. The correspondent predicts that
the State will gain one or two member
by the present census.
The Porter census was conceived in
fraud. He is the biggest humbug in
America and the great nineteenth CEN
fury juggler with figures. Nobody in
the South accepted anything that he
did, and even if he had been fair the
character of the fellows. IT, the main,
who took the census in North Caro-
lima forbade confidence in their re-
ports. We dare not hope for better
things this year. In every State except
North Carolina census officials were
divided between the parties and some
show of getting the best officials was
made. In North Carolina nobody was
appointed except Republicans and
''Republicans masquerading as Popu-
lists to quote Senator Buffers apt
description. Their main business has
been to become peripetetic political
pettifoggers, going about the State,
giving more time to trying to get
white men to vote with the Black-and-
Tan party than to getting correct sta
tistics. Under these circumstances. is
it reasonable to hope that the State
will get justice this year, particularly
when an increase of two ,nemhers of
Congress would add two Democratic
members in the House and give two
additional Democratic presidential
electors? Was it to prevent the IN
crease in Congress that Pritchard and
Butler selected political strikers in
most places to take the census?

BUNCOMBE POLITICS--LUSK'S RE
CORD.

Perhaps the most interesting and
holly contested local campaign going
on in North Carolina this year is the
fight for the House in Buncombe be-
tween Mr.. Locke Craig, the Demo-
cratic leader, and V. S. Lusk, the Re-
mated Mr.. Craig was speaking in the
East and had declined to be a candi-
date for the nomination, and had re-
quested his friends not to nominate
him. When the convention met, how
ever, the old ticket, Craig and Curtis,
was renominated, and Mr.. Craig re-
turned home to enter the campaign.
In Buncombe the Radical party is
strong in numbers and has plenty of
money, which is being used lavishly
in the interest of Lusk. The Demo-
Gratis have splendid organization, a
righteous cause, and eloquent candi-
dates. They are making vigorous
campaign with little money, and the
outlook is that they will carry the
county by majority of over five hun
dred.
Lusk ought to be defeated for many
reasons. In a debate on the insane
asylum appropriation on February
20, 1897, Mr., McCreary, now Republic
can candidate for Presidential elector,
asked Lusk if his vote on this mat
ter or Mark Hanna's money had sent
him here Lusk said he had never
seen Mark, and asked McCreary if
Marks money had been in Davidson.
McCreary said yes" In spite OF
Luslk's denial, it was Hanna's money
that elected Lusk in 1896, and it is
IIanna's money Republicans are using
to try to elect him this year.
No man who stands with the toll
ers can vote for LuslI. On the 18th of
February, 1897, Person, of Wayne, a
.rantankerous Populist," when the
gold contract bill was pending in the
House said: 'Lusk is not on the side
of the toilers of this country" and
Person told the truth.
In this campaign Lusk is going over
Buncombe county telling the people
that if the amendment is adopted it
will take the right to vote away from
lmeducated white voters. Isn't he
a pretty man to arrogate to himself
the right to champion the right of the
uneducated voter? In February, 1897,
on two occasions on the floor of the
House of Representative in the city
of Raleigh, Lusk declared that it was
his conviction that mo MAN
SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO CAST
A BALLOT WHO CANNOT READ HIS
OWN BALLOT" We understand that
Lusk at this late day denies making
this statement. 1t is too late. The
statement was published in the edi-
torial columns of the News and OBJ
server on the 28th day of February,
1897, and he has never until this week
denied that he was correctly quoted.
He said it and no squirming will avail
him now.
