Does it Pay to Be Polite.

Editor Morning News: In Saturdays is
sue of the News was clipping from one
of your exchanges: Does 1t Pay to Be
Polite?" instancing the annoyance of a
gentleman holding a springdoor open for
a hesitating lady.
That occurrence brings to mind an in
cideut somewhat similar
Several years ego a younw merchant of
one of the interior towns of Florida re-
turning from a purchasing trip in the mar
kets of the North and East, came South
by the beautiful Shenandoah route. The
breakfast house was at the Luray Inn,
and trains from the South and North met
there.
The Florida merchant was amongst the
first to enter the breakfast ROOM and
promptly gave his order, which was also
promptly served. Just at the time his
breakfast was placed before him, a lady
and little girl were shown to the same
table. Politely. he asked the lady if she
would not accept the spread just made,
and he would order again, With thanks
she accepted and she and the girl began
AT once upon the viands.
There was a short delay in filling the
second order. which made the merchant
somewhat late in finishing his breakfast
In the meantime the lady and little girl
had finished their meal and left the room.
The train was called by the porter as the
merchant concluded his repast, and in
passing out, handed the cashier 20 cents,
the customary price of a meal
Il want dollar and a half MORE" said
the cashier.
What for?" responded the Florida man.
For that lady's and little girls break
fast" responded the eatinghouse cashier
Il guess not" answered the merchant.
II have nothing to do with them"
We'll" answered the cashier "they
said you would pay for their breakfast"
II do not know them nor am I respon-
sible for their meals" again said the mer-
chant.
well, those breakfasts will have to be
paid for. They were with you and they
said you would settle for them. You can
not leave until that bill is paid" replied
the cashier.
Am 1 to be held responsible for all the
people who ate breakfast this morning.
because they happened to be in the break
fast room the same time l VASE" angrily
asked the Florida man.
Those two breakfasts have got 10 be
paid for. The lady certainly said you
would settle for them, and you can't leave
until they are paid for" Time was up and
the Florida man held limited ticket, and
if he stayed 10 further argue the case he
would lose the value of his ticket. So he
paid the additional $50. He has never
satisfied himself whether the woman i'm
posed upon the cashier of whether the
cashier saw the opportunity of forcing the
merchant to pay that additional $150 as
a clear bluff.
Anyway ii has satisfied the Florida mer-
chant that it does not pay TO always be
polite.
Whether the lady was so ignorant of the
laws of etiquette as to understand the
merchant as offering to furnish her break
fast for herself and girl and did really
tell the cashier the gentleman who was
seated a the same table with her would
pay for their breakfasts, or whether the
cashier saw the opportunity to bluff or
bulldoze the man into paying the demand,
is still an uusolved problem.

cua.,s sETrEp SATISFIED.

The Cubans are beginning 10 believe
now that the United States mean to
deal with them honestly. large major
ity of them have doubted that the United
States intended that Cuba should be an
independent state. and for that reason
they have not shown a friendly feeling
for Americans. Even the turning of the
governments OF the towns over 10 Cubans
did not satisfy them of the good faith Of
the United States. Now that an election
for delegates TO convention to frame
constitution is to be held on the third
Saturday in September, and the conven-
ton is 10 meet on the first Monday in
November, their doubts as to the pur
pose of the United States have begun 10
disappear and they are showing a more
friendly disposition.
The convention will be a very small
one. 1t viii consist of only thirty-one
delegates. 1t will be large enough, how
ever. If the convention should be as
large as the average constitutional con-
vention in this country it would take the
Cubans a year or more to frame a con-
stitutfon. No doubt there will be some
men among the delegates familiar with
the work of constitution making, and IL
is probable that the United States gov
eminent will take the privilege of super
vising the conventions work. IL is prob
able, therefore, that the convention will
submit TO the people for their acceptance
or rejection an instrument that will be
very generally satisfactory. The United
States are pledged to establish an en-
lightened and stable government in Cuba,
and they will therefore exercise the right
of directing the affairs of the island un-
til the time comes for them to withdraw
from the island.
1t is probable that in the convention
the question of annexation will be given
some consideration, but it is quite certain
chat no effort will be made to bring abou,
annexation. 1t will be better for the Gu
bans to give self-government a trial. If
the trial should be failure, then annex
alton would come and it would be perma-
nent.
1t is said the Cubans are taking a very
great interest in the election of delegates
10 the constitutional convention. 1t is,
certain that it is the hope in this coun-'
try that they will be wise enough 60
choose the very ablest men in the island
for delegates. The future of the island
depends largely upon this convention. 1t
can make or mar Cuba future.

TALL REPUBLICAN TALK.

The Republicans are doing great deal
of talking about the splendid prospects
of their party for success, and from
what they are saying one might suppose
that they are expecting a walk-over. In
Washing on, on Sunday. Senator Scott of
West Virginia told some newspaper men
that the prosperity of the country was
so great that the people would not hear
of a change in the Observation-Disclosures
many influential Republicans were saying
that there was no need of speeches and
parades by the Republicans, because the
people had made up their minds to keep
the Republican party in power.
And Assistant Secretary of War, Mr..
3feikeljohn, who has just returned from
Nebraska, and who wants 10 be senator
from that state, tells his Republican
friends that that state Is certain TO go
for Mr.. Mckinley. Was there ever any
thing SO preposterous? Why Mr.. Bryan
will carry his own state by very much
larger majority than Mr.. Mckinley will
carry Ohio. Indeed there are serious
doubts In the minds of many Republicans
whether the President will be able TO
carry his own state.
Mr.. Meikeljohn is so anxious to be
United States senator that he can see
nothing but Republican victory in Ne
braska. There is a great disappointment
in store for him. And Senator Scott must
know that in all parts of the country
mills are being shut down. Unless times
improve greatly there will soon be cries
of distress from the mill districts in pref
ty nearly all parts of the country.
The Republicans are insisting that there
is great prosperity. and they would make
that claim if half the factories were
closed; but the public is not to be de-
ceived by such campaign yarns. 1t is true
that the country is much better off than
it was during the campaign of 1896, but
il is not as prosperous as it was a year
ago, nor sufficiently prosperous to justify
the Republicans in making prosperity the
basis of their campaign speeches. Be-
sides if there were great prosperity there
would be no ground on which the Repub-
leans could justly claim credit for 1t.

also takes a warm interest in the move

THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

1t would not be surprising if there
North Carolina to-day, growing out OF
,he election. but there is no reason for
apprehending trouble of a very serious
nature. Political excitement has been
running high for several weeks. and there
have been complaints of bulldozing and in
tmidation. but nothing has occurred that
indicates that the election will not be a
fair one. 1t is said that in some parts
of the state the Populfst speakers and
the speakers of their allies, the Republic
cans. have not been cordially received
in fact, have been told that they could
not hold meetings-but, as a rule, there
has been a pretty fair deal all around.
Both sides win get out their fun vote,
and that is all that anybody can reason
ably ask.
outside of the state the interest centers
wholly in the proposed constitutional
amendment for DISTINGUISHING the negroes.
That this amendment will be adopted by
a majority of from 10000 to 10000 is very
generally admitted. Even the Populists
and the Republicans concede that the
amendment will be adopted. and they are
trying to save the Legislature. Their eff
fort will be in vain, however. The DEM
ocrats intend to make a clean sweep. Not
only will the negro be eliminated from
the politics of the state, but all of the
Offices win pass into the possession of the
Democrats.
North Carolina will be the fourth South
ern state TO eliminate the negro vote,
and it is probable that this reform move
ment will go on until the negro is out of
politics in ali of the Southern states. II
has been clearly demonstrated that
superior and an inferior race cannot get
along satisfactorily together on the basis
OF equal political rights. The superior
race will not submit to the domination
of the inferior one, and as long
as the negro has the ballot and
big backing of voters, it is
but natural that he should want
Republican party had about come to the
conclusion that the placing of the ballot
in the hands of the negro before he was
ready for 1t was mistake-at least, II is
rot manifesting any disposition to put
itself in the way of the movement for
the Acknowledgement of the negro. As
a matter of fact the negro in the South
il milestone around the neck of the
Republican party. He gives that party no
representatives in Congress. and no mem
bers in the electoral college, and his greed
for Office and conduct at national conven-
tons tend 10 bring that party into
disrepute. Not only that. but he prevents
the Republican party from making any
progress in the South. All things con-
sidered, therefore, 1t is probable that the
Republican party would rather that the
movement in the South to disfranchise the
negro should succeed than fail.

II may be doubted that a direct advance
upon Pekin has been begun, owing to the
smallness of the available forces for such
a movement and the resistance that would
almost certainly be encountered. 1t is
probable, however, that preliminary i'd
vance has been begun, with a view to
establishing base of supplies beyond
Tien Tsin TO be drawn upon when the main
expedition moves upon the capital II Is
now clearly understood 10 be the policy
of this government, and of those of Great
Britain and Japan, to push through to
Pekin with the least possible delay; hence
il is to be expected that the rush to the
rescue of the legationers will not be long
delayed. The preliminary work which is
now going forward will facilitate the at
tack, which win no doubt be begun as
soon as reinforcements have been landed.
