CONVENTIONS.
IMPERIALISM COMES high.

The war expenditures of the United
States this, year will aggregate $685.
$4,000, or $4.16 for each man, woman
and child in the United States. Not
counting the expense of the war in
the Philippines, the war expense this
year will be $135,297 ,653. Austria
Hungary with an army of 345,756 costs
$56. 100000; France, with 53S,759 sol
diers. spends $125.OOO,OOO: it costs Ger
many $136, 100000, to support an army
of 52S,0OO; and it costs Italy $45,00O,
600 to care for its army of $4,000.
These figures, obtained after much
research by Representative Mcclellan
OF New York, make eloquent plea
against militarism. In the face of this
exceeding the cost of the immense
standing army of France and within
three quarters of million of the cost
to Germany, the contention that
''there is no Imperialism or 1--WE have
entered upon no policy of militarism'
has nothing to stand upon.
Think of it! The people of North
Carolina have paid within the past
twelve months over eight million dol
lars ($S,32O,O0O) in order to convert
this Republic into an Empire, and
the burden is in it's infancy. Every
time a man pays one dollar to sup
port his State government he pays
eight dollars for the English policy of
Imperialism. How long will the peo-
pie stand it?

MR.. SAMUEL L. PATTERSON.
The Democratic Nominee For Commissioner of
Agriculture.

Samuel L. Patterson was born and rails
ed in Caldwell county on the farm where
he now lives, and has been engaged in
farming for twenty five years in the same
place He loves his calling and has a
model farm in Happy Valley, one of the
loveliest spots in North Carolina.
In 1891 Mr.. Patterson was a member of
the House of Representatives from Cald-
we'll county and in 1898 was elected to the
State Senate. Again in 1898 he was nom
mated and elected to the House. He was
one of the wisest and safest legislators
of this decade, progressive along all lines
that make for the States advancement
and prosperity. In 1891 Mr.. Patterson was
elected member Of the Board of Agri-
culture and served two years. In 1895 he

is fit, he is capable, he is honest. He
devotes his time aud his thought to the
duties of his office and to studying to
advance the welfare of his fellow farmers.
One of the best and most practical
speeches made in North Carolina in a de-
cade was the speech made by Mr.. Patter-
son al the meeting Of the State Tobacco
Growers Association in January. In pri-
vate life, Mr.. Patterson is the soul Of

LOOKING TWO WAYS.

The amendment is unconstitutional
because it makes discrimination
against the negro. 1t let's the lgnof-
ant white man vote but, denies vote
to the ignorant negro. That is repug-
nant to the fifteenth amendment ana
cannot stand.-Senator Pritchard at
Rockingham.
The amendment will, in my Judg-
ment, disfranchise every llllterate
white man.-Senator Pritchard at
Rockingham.
The above contains all except the
filing in the speech Senator Pritch-,
ard made at Rockingham. There is
not a fifteen year old boy in North
Carolina who can be fooled by two
such contradictory statements. The
amendment does discriminate, as Sen
ator Pritchard says, in favor of the
white man. The uneducated white
man can vote while the ignorant ne
gro cannot. This applies to every
white man in the State and to every
negro in the State. Not single white
man will lose his vote because he
cannot read and write. Not single
negro can vote unless he can read and
write. That's what the amendment
was intended to do and that is what
it does. If it is unconstitutional Tor
that reason, it will have to fall. The
Democrats prefer no restriction OF
suffrage to depriving single white
man of his vote.
1T cannot be true that the amend
ment is unconstitutional because it
discrimnates in favor of white men
and also true that it will ''disfran-
chise every illiterate white man in the
State These positions are SO an
tagonistic that one answers the other.
No boy could be fooled by an argu-
ment that takes such opposing opin-
ions. The anti-amendment orators
will have to drop one and elect which
misrepresentation will best serve their
purpose. Both will destroy them be-
fore any crowd of white voters.

The Blue and the Gray.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
A dispatch published in The Star August
%, from Chicago states that Mr.. H B.
Leeper of Owaneco, ILL.,, adjutant general
of the Grand Army of American Veterans is
working night and day for an encampment
of the blue and gray In 1901. All honor to
him for his patriotic efforts. The thought
occurs to me that here in Washington, the
capital of this nation, is the place above all
others for such a reunion, and in saying
that l know / but echo the sentiment of
thousands of the veterans over the entire
country. When the Grand Army met in
Washington a member of the 9Th Army
Corps said to me: II hope some day to
see reunion of the soldiers Of the north
and the south in this city" l have never
forgotten his suggestion, and long to see
that day. The dispatch referred to says:
1T is the dream of a large number of the
followers of the flag in 1861 Let their
dream be realized here in Washington in
1901 in the grandest gathering the world
has ever seen. But if the meeting is to be
here prompt action must be had, as the
resolution will soon be laid before the en-
campment in Chicago Not an hour is to
be lost. If The Star and the other papers
will take up the matter l believe Washing
ton can secure the encampment in 1901.
One suggestion would offer, and that is that
the prominent officials Of this city who are
now attending the Grand Army reunion in
Chicago be Immediately advised of such
proposition. so that they may be able to act
on the resolution when it comes before the
encampment. Hurrah for the reunion in
1901! EX-CONFEDERATE
