Take the Rule Work Both Ways.
(WilkeSbOrO Chronicle.)

Those who are raising so much
mud about .staXation without repre-
sentation" confine themselves to the
poor negro" They have nothing to
say when it comes to the white race.
The poor white woman who owns a
few acres and COW and has to sup
port family of children, must pay
the tax just the same or be sold out
of house and home. But she has no
voice in the elections. She gets no
sympathy. But propose some means
of protecting the woman's property
from the hired vote of some negro
who does not pay cent of tax and
we hear a howl of "taXatiOn without
representation In Wilkes county
in 1898 nearly 1000 negroes voted and
the county went Republican by nearly
1000. That same year 1870 negroes
paid poll tax. The poll tax all goes
to schools, together with small prop
erty tax. About $1,000 were spent
for public colcred schools that year
and of course the deficiency was made
up of taxes on white property, and
many poor white women with small
properties had to pay their proportion
of tax for negro schools. Let's have
a little justice in the matter and make
the rule work both ways, and if the
negro won't pay to support his own
schools, don't let him vote to tax
some widows property to pay for
what he ought to pay himself. The
poor white widows need little OF
the sympathy these fellows are be-
slowing on the big lazy negro.

It's Flags they Want, Eth:
(Raleigh PoSt.)

..Ine great neeu here, says u Col.
of the regular army, now on duty in
the Philippines in letter to the New
York Sun, lis Of new United States
flags. Lots OF natives would fly them
if they could get them. Tell your
patriotic societies this. What is
wanted is large number of cheap
flags, in size about two by four feet. "
This reminds us: One Dutchman
meets another on one occssion walking
down the street moaning and groan-
ing piteously, with the side of his
head vigorously supported by his
hand.
.:Vat's der matter, Shacob?" asked
No. /, sympathetically.
With an uncomfortable outburst OF
grief, No. 2 replied: ''Mine poor, dear
wife is det.''
'.Oh,' cheerfully responded No. 1,
'sish dot all? 1t vas der doothache |
thought it vaz.'
The troubles of these Filipinos come
from a yearning for little flags rather
than a loss of country, as we had sup
posed. We will give them happiness if
we have to smother them with flags.
But our rifles and rum must go along
with the flags.

The Late General Joubert.
(Danville (Na.) Register.)

In the death of General Piet Joubert
the Transvaal republic has suffered
ust such a loss as was sustained by
the Southern Confederacy in the
death of Stonewall jackson. Indeed,
the Boer general combined many of
the qualities of both Lee and jackson,
being skillful in the direction and
swift and terrific in the execution of
military movements. 1t was to his
masterl y supervision that the little
Dutch republic owes its compact and
effective military system, which en-
abled it to strike such stunning blows
in the earlier months of the present
war as to arouse all Britain as it has
seldom before been aroused. He ad
ministered the sevcrest blows to
British pride and prestige that the
imperial army has ever suffered.
Joubert was an impetuous soldier
and his Judgment was not always
faultless. In most cases, however,
his impetuosity carried the day.
Kruger was the more conservative
and cautious, and it may be said OF
the two men that one was the COM
plement of the other.
Joubert made great name for him.

baltimore Sun. /


President Mckinley should not be
discouraged because his first tender Of
the good offices of the United States
to bring about peace in South Africa
was courteously declined by Lord
Salisbury. The war is not over yet
and the British troops have not occu-
pied Pretoria. Before they get there
the fighting may be of such desper-
ate character that Lord Salisbury will
be willing to reconsider his decision
to wipe out the Boer republics. The
British government can safeguard it's
interests in South Africa without de-
stroying the republics. To adopt the
policy outlined in Lord Salisbury S re-
ply to Presidents Kruger and Steyn
would indicate that revenge was the
object Of the war rather than the
'equality Of all white men in South
Africa" The Beers can be given in
dependence without imperiling Brit
ish interests, unless there should be
in the future another Jameson raid.
TO that attack upon the Transvaal is
due the armament to which Lord
Salisbury refers in his reply to Presi
dents Kruger and Steyn, but the cause
of which he conveniently ignores.
The Beers have had very impressive
object lesson in regard to the resources
Of the British empire, and it is not
likely that with fair treatment in the
future they would invite another in
vasion by an army over 200, 900 strong.
The British government ought, as a
matter of policy aud statecraft, to be
| careful how it snuffs the life out of
republic. English statesmen are said
to be anxious to retain the friendship
of the United States in view of the
possibility of European complications
in the future. A most effective way
of retaining the highly priced friend
ship of the great American republic
would be to display magnanimity to
its sister republics in South Africa.
