Be just TO Puerto Rico.

It may not be a matter of great
importance, even to the people of
Puerto Rico, whether their pro-
ducts are admitted into our mar
kets free or required to pay duty
of twenty-five per cent, but it is
of vital importance that they shall
be admitted at some rate and a
market opened for them. In the
present state of things, we have
simply released the Puerto Ricans
from Spanish rule, and destroyed
their market relations with Spain
without furnishing any substitute
at all. We govern them by mill
tary force and maintain our tariff
restrictions against their products.
Congress should do something
about this important matter, and do
it quickly. Already the people of
Puerto Rico are complaining that
they are worse off than under Span
ish rule, bad as that was, and further
delay will simply breed more discon-
tent and possibly rebellion. Having
acquired Puerto Rico, we must pro
vide it with a government under
which it's people can live in greater
freedom and comfort, rather than
with less than before. This we are
bound to do in simple Justice to ali
concerned. and further dallying with
this important subject is simply in.
excusable.

Raleigh Post Special.
Charlotte, N. @, Feb. 49, One
OF the greatest, most eloquent
and logical speeches ever deliv-
cred in Mecklenburg, Democrats
heard tonight when Hon. G. B.
Aycock addressed the people on
the amendment and campaign
issues. The speech was pro-
nounced by his hearers as one
of the best ever spoken here.
The speaker was introduced
by Charm al Mccall as the man
whom the Republicans dread
more than any man in North
Carolina since the death Of
Vance.
The first point Aycoek made
was that the splendid wor K of
the campaiga Of 1893 would be
lost unless Wa complete it by
carrying the constitutional
amendment. The people of North
Carolina were conservative and
would not change the constitu
tion excep5 as a last resort. He
reviewed in mastery manner
the history of the State since the
war, and SAID when the Republi-
can party came into power IN
1868 they wrought more ruin in
two years than was wrought dur
ing the whole four years of the
war. Lawlessness reigned and
de ath walked everywhere, the
ancient writ of habeas corpus even
being ignored; bat the Democratic
party hardly came into power
when weapons were laid aside.
The story of the year 1868 is told
SO often that it has almost grown
old, Notwithstanding new party
has been formed that poiled 47,
900 votes in 1894.
The fusionists violated every
pledge. They declared they would
restore peace, but only infamed
the, passions of the negro so that
white men of one city walked the
streets every night for three
months with rifles on their shoul-
ders. From the history of the
Wilmington trouble the speaker
proved the total inadequacy OF
the Republican party as then con-
stituted TO govern. The Supreme
Court judges by silence had ace
knowledged the necessity of the
Wilmington uprising, and when.
ever the Republicans bring about
such conditions as existed ther
the Democratic party will hur
them from power, for the white
man was made to rule.
The greatest and strongest poin
in his speech was that the Demo
Gratis desise to be able to vote &C
cording to their convictions, ant
not be always compelled by cir
cumstances to vote together, ant
for this reason the constitutions

FREMONT HEARD FROM.
ROusing Township Meeting - Del
egates to the COuu'y COnven-
tiOn-G. b, AycOck Their
Choice For Governor.

Fremont, N. c., Feb. 10, 1900.
EDITOR AReUs:-On Saturday
the 18th inst, our township meet
ing was held, which was very
enthusiastic one, each doing what
he could for the passing of Butler,
Linney, and White to the shades
of eternal infamy.
Mr., NJ. T. johnson was mode
chairman and Mr.. j. T. Hooks,
secretary.
The Chairman announced that
owing to the condition of the
country, both State and National,
he thought it part of wisdom to
invoke the aid and guidance of
Diety, to which all agreed.
After a fervent petition to the
Throne of Grace by the chairman,
the secretary sang, most beauti-
fully and effectively, solo, ''Lead
US in the good old way," after
which the chairman declared the
meeting open and ready for busi-
ness. Then he asked if anyone
present had anything to say be-
fore going into an election of dele
gates. We thought we had heard
grand outbursts of eloquence that
thrilled the heart and swayed an
audience, but as our speakers por-
trayed the evils Of the present ad-
ministration and wrongs of. the
people-made so partly by pom
partisan judiciary, and govern
ment that winks at theft and rob-
bery-we thought that we were
listening to the impassioned elc-
quence of Clay, or Calhoun in one
of their mastery efforts for the
good of their country.
Following is the list of the
sterling and uncompromising
Democrats who are sent TO the
county convention to help select
delegates to the State convention !:
J. M. Jenkins, j. r. Benton, Jas.
Bum, B. F. Aycock, John D.
Davis, O, L. Aycock, Hilliard
Amerson, J. o. Davis, John W.
Aycock, G. G. Aycock, F. H.
Hooks, Jesse Renfrow, Geo. t.
Best. A motion was made and
carried that Chairman M. T. John
son and Secretary J. T. Hooks be
added to the list of delegates.
A motion was made and carried,
amid great applause, that Charles
B. Aycock, the champion of De-
mocracy and of the people, is our
choice for Governor-not only
ours, but the people of the whole
State.
M. T. JOHNSON, Chairman.
JOHN T. Hooks, Secretary.

A ROusing Welcome at Brooks
vi e-Addressed the People
at Leogth on Questions
OF the Day.

BrooksviiIe, Fla, February
17.-On his arrival today Mr..
Bryan was met by large crowd,
which gave him rousing 6wel-
come. He was at once driven to
the residence of his cousin, Judge
Jennings, where an informal re.
ception was held.
At noon a barbecue was serv-
ed in the court house square, af-
ter which Mr.. Bryan was escort
ed to stand erected for the oc.
casion, from which he addressed
the people at length on the
questions of the day. He affirmed
his undying faith in silver, ads
vocated the adoption of the in
come tax, denounced the trusts
and imperialism and declared for
the freedom of the Filipinos. He
was especially emphatic in his
statements as to the silver guess
tion, and closed by saying that
the old issue of 16 to l was the
ssonly relief in store for the com
mon people," His speech aroused
much enthusiasm, and was aps
plauded throughout.
Mr.. Bryan will remain here
until Tuesday and will probably
indulge in a turkey hunt before
leaving this section.

Aycock then gave one of the finest
discussions of the educational and
grandfather clauses made in the
present campaign. He said the
educational qualification will bring
about great increase in learning
and many parents who are un-
willing to send their children to
school will not be willing to have
their children unable to take part
in the government, hence they
would educate them. He said
section five will rot discriminate
against any class, and knew there
were two hundred negroes in his
county that could vote under the
provisions of this section, because
they had ancestors who could vote
prior to 1867. "The greatest agru-
ment to my mlnd," said the
speaker, sis that the institutional
amendment is not so much to dis
franchise the negro as to set the
white man free. We never will
grow great men in North Carolina
until we set thought free" Aycock
said he would be a Democrat if
there was not negro in the uni
verse; he wanted his boys to vote
the same ticket, not from neces-
ity, but from choice. "We want
our children to grow up free and
vote the Republican ticket if they
want to, but not with such party
as is in theState to-day, The idol of
North Carolina Democracy is the
womanhood of the State. This
idol demands that negro Suprem-
acy be put down." La closing he
said: "You can tell your friends
there is not doubt about the con-
stitutionality of the anne ndment;
no doubt that IS, 900 negroes will
be disfranchised and no doubt the
school facilities will be hade ade-
quate to educate every child in the
State.'
The Charlotte Observer of to-
day says: "Mr. Aycock spoke
only an hour and ten minutes, He
was told by the many people that
crowded around him to shake his
hand that he had made one CT the
best political speeches ever heard
in this county and that no argus
ment on the amendment could be
wiser or better made. At all times
be is brilliant orator and de-
bator; and, feeling deeply on his
subject as be did last night, his
effort was superb and unanswer-
able. -

One of the delights of travel In
China is the innocent ignorance of the
people. They think themselves the
most sophisticated and heaven-eR-

make their naive childishness the
more engaging. They live very close

gods and devils, between whom they
make little practical distinction, com

Head.

In group of old confederates gath
cred around the campfire at the head
quarters, at No. 436 West jefferson
street, the other evening, was an
ex-captain of StonewaIl Jackson's foot
cavalry. The talk had drifted TO the
sove that the men of the southern
army bore for their leader, and a
dozen or more stories were told of
some little incident in which that
love had manifested itself, saws the
louisville Courier-Journal. Then the
captain spoke:
~Your stories prove the love that
the men of the south had for Gen.
Lee, but l remember a conversation
with an old negro. who, L believe, had
q truer appreciation of his worth than
any of you.

THE LONE SENTRY.

On one occasion during the civil war the
-eontederate troops under Gen. jackson
were forced to long and very fatiguing
march. On going into camp for the night
they were exhausted that the entire
command fell upon the ground and were
soon sound asleep. Jackson was so moved
with pity by the condition Of his men that
hs would not force anyone to stand guard
and took that duty upon himself. The fol-
towing lines were written IN commemora-
ton of the incident:
Twas In the dying OF the day.
The darkness grew so still
dhe drowsy pipe of evening birds
Was hushed upon the hill:
Atnwart the shadows of the vale
Stumbered the men of might
As one lone sentry paced his rounds
10 guard the camp that night
q grave and solemn man was he,
With deep and somber brow;
The dreamful eyes seemed boarding up
Some unaccomplished view:
q W1Stful glance peered Ger the plain
Beneath the starry light,
AND with the murmured name of God
he watched the camp that night
THE future opened unto him
Its grand and awful scroll:
MANASSAS and the valley march
Came heaving o er his soul:
Richmond and Sharpesburg Numbered by
win that tremendous fight.
Which gave to him the angels hosts
Who watched the camp that night.
Brethren. the midnight OF the cause
Is shrouded in our fate:
HE demon Goths polluts our halls
With IRE and lust and hate:
Bs strong, be valiant, be assured
Strike home for heaven and right:

And guards the camp at night.

The sirdar (Sr Francis Wingate).
who is>now on his way to London for q
short stay, is a remarkably young man
for the important position he now
holds, and he is one of those who carry
an old head ON young shoulders. Twen-
ty years ago, when only 10, he entered
the royal artillery and reached his ma
jority at 2s. When only % Wingate
served as military secretary to Sir Eve
Ign Wood in the Nile expedition and re-
ceived special mention in dispatches
for his brilliant work. The sirdar's
late career is familiar to everybody.
He fought at Toski, Tokar, Afafit, Fir

At legislative hearing on behalf of
the insane poor a physician recalled
the fact that as late as 1889 the CITY
Of Boston kept it's pauper lunatics in
wooden cages, which rested on wheels
and were rolled out of the almshouse on
pleasant days to give the wretches a
little air and sunshine. When new
building was provided the patients
were trundded into it In their cages.
But DIR. Butler, the wise and humane
superintendent, promptly set them
free from conditions which might make
