A Great Christmas Ahead.

The outgoing European malls are loaded
with registered pieces and foreign post Of
f1ce money orders, not to mention express
packages galore, and they are the gifts of

greatest Christmas that ever was on both

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
The Caucasian, Negro Rule Organ

The Caucasian, Negro Rule organ.
We notice a letter in the Caucasian,
written from Edward, this county, pro-
Tossing to give the status Of the amend
ment in this county, and giving as an
example of the way the straws are blow
ing the vote of the jury in the case of
the State VS., Green that was tried at the
recent term OF the Superior court. The
letter says to show the sentiment of our
people towards the amendment vote
of the jury was taken. Upon the jury
were ten Democrats one Populist and one
Republican, and all of the jury declared
themselves opposed TO the amendment,
but two, the Republican and one Demo-
crat. We admit this would be bad
showing for the amendment if ii We're
true, but upon investigation and inter-
viewing at least three members of the
jury, we are authorized to say no such
vote was ever taken, and that politics
was never at any time discussed. Thus
We see another incident the Caucasian
thought of so much Importance as to re-
fer to it in it's editorial columns, has been
proven false, and that no such incident
ever occurred In fact it is lie and
the Edward correspondent has just SIM
ply been imposed upon.

THE FIRST OVERT ACT.

The passage of the Porto Rican bill
is the first overt act of imperialism.
1t commits the Republican party TO
the doctrine.of taxation without rep
resentation-a doctrine that was alb
horrent to some ''old fogies" who lived
in America about the year 1776. One
of those .'old fogies,' the greatest eX-
ponent of liberty and equality who
Jefferson, wrote a declaration against
that doctrine that aroused the people
as the fire-bell calls villages to action.
Another "old fogy," the first Amerl-
can of his time and for all time, nam
ed George Washington, was so full OF
Indignation against the doctrine that
Parliament could tax men in the colo
MES without representation that he
organized victorious army that de-
stroyed the doctrine on American soil.
From that day to this hour, until
the introduction of the Porto !sican
bill, no man in this Republic has daf-
ed 70 say that King George was light
and that Washington was wrong Ii
the House passes the bill as it comes
from the Senate it will be a repudia-
ton of the 'old fogyism" of Washing
ton and Jefferson and an acceptance
of the Old World doctrine of taxa
ton without representation. Win the
country approve this modern aping
of the country it had to fight in 1776.
1t was no worse for England to tax
the tea of the colonists than it is for
us to impose tax on the commodi-
ties of the Porto Ricans. The case is
identical.
We do not believe the American
people will approve this departure
from the principles of Jefferson, and
we believe that in November they will
rebuke those who are converting our
Republic into an Empire.

DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.

Ii it be true that Admiral Dewey
wishes the Democratic nomination for
President, the people will regret to
hear it. Dewey is easily the first man
in America as naval or military hero.
He won this proud place by his wis
dom and discretion after he reached
Manila, as well as by his disregard
of danger when he sunk the Spanish
feet. He ought not to mar his proud
position by entering upon field that
is all new and untried to HMM
which he has had no training and for
which he has developed no fitness. AS
an admiral, his primacy is assured. TO
abandon that proud position for an
arena not suited to his past is to lose
much of the glory that justly belongs
to him.
There is no power under the sky
or above the earth that can prevent
the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan at Kansas City. He is not only
the logical candidate, but he is the
idol and the hope of the militant Dem
ocracy. He is half million votes
stronger than Dewey and million
votes stronger than any man except
the hero of Manila. He is Democracy
incarnate. The party will nominate
him and will elect him in November,
because he has won the confidence,
ism and low tariff, but also of all who
are opposed to Imperialism, militar-
ism and trusts. They look to him as
the leader in the struggle of the Re
public against the Empire. they
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-04-05

know where he stands and know that
he can be trusted.
If Admiral Dewey is led to his re-
ported utterance by a sense of oppo-
sition to the lack of good faith shown
by the administration toward Porto
Rico, by hostility to the policy of i'm
perialism and militarism, and by Il
desire to help free this Republic from
the grasp of the trusts and money
changers-if these reasons actuate
him, those who are opposing these
dangers to liberty of the people,
will feel more than ever that he de-
serves the gratitude of his country,
for he is a patriot who fights the foes
from within as well as he who sinks
the Spanish fleet. We have no idea
that Dewey would for a moment think
of desiring the presidential nomina-
ton if, at least in part, he did not
sympathize in the present policy of
the party, and did not stand for the
Republic against the Empire. In the
great contest which Bryan viii lead,
his powerful assistance would endear
him to every man opposed TO Mckin-
ley's hypocrisy and Hanna's vulgar
corruption.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
4 VIOLATION OF GOOD FAITH.
Chicago Times Herald (Rep).

Chicago Times Herald (Rep).
The United States Senate has passed
the Porto Rico tariff bill, which begins
by denying Porto Ricans allegiance to or
free trade with the United States and
ends by taxing them without citizenship
and without representation.
Thus has been contaminated, so far as
one House of Congress can, the most re-
markable departure from unvarying
American presidents, the most unac-
countable violation of American good
faith, the most insolent affront to al
most universal American sentiment.
With one heart, one mind, one voice.
the people of the United States, as rep
resented by the press, have protested
against the outrage against Porto Rico
the violation of American honor contain
ed in this tariff bill. Their protests have
ben received with contempt and they
have been told: "You are ignorant; you
do not understand"
Now we will see if the House, which,
has to face its constituents within seven
months, dares to reaffrm the obnoxious
tariff, now that it knows the temper OF
the American people.
Just as surely as this is a government
OF the people, by the people, for the peo-
pie the American people will not suf-
fer the obloquy this bill casts on their
honor and good faith to be perpetrated
with impunity. If the Republican ma
jority permits it there viii be a reckon
ing with the Republican party by Re-
publicans next November.
