MIR. CHURCHILL'S SUGGESTION A
CUE FOR THE BOARD.

Now we are not SURPRISED at the
Norfolk and Western Railway Comma
ny's attitude in asking for the right to
ouiid out to the channel any more
than we would be at it's application to
stop up the channel altogether, if by
that means 1t could increase its pro-
perty," as was explained in the Groner
letter; or decrease it's costs and ex-
penses," and thereby make money for
the railroad company, as was ex
planned by Its engineer (AIr. ChurchilD
before the board on Friday. Upon the
same principle 1--WE take it) it would
build q warehouse in the middle Of
Main street in front of the Marine
Bank. If the Councils would allow Il.
In order ito decrease its costs and ex-
penses;" for the road would then have
to buy no site.
1T Is not the railways business to
provide harbor ROOM" (said Mr..
Churchill, the engineer of the Norfolk
and Westerly in which well-taken
opinion we most profoundly agree.
The Councils appointed The Harbor
Commissioners to do that and the peo-
pie are waiting to see If then iciH.
Who can blame the Norfolk and
Western for stopping up the harbor. If
the Commissioners allow It? Do YOU
blame the Norfolk and Western for
taking anything else the Commission
ers may give it? The people of Nor
folk. Portsmouth. Berkeley and Norfolk
county are profoundly grateful that
the road has been so moderate in its
requests as to leave us any harbor.
Why not take the whole channel, ex-
cept a little narrow canal. wide enough

1T is not its duty to furnish anchor

less looking out for itself, and he
might have stated that the Harbor
commissioners were appointed to look
out for the city.
So, with great respect, we come TO
ask the Board of Harbor Commission
ers to do for the city what Mr.
Churchill stated the Norfolk and
western was not doing, to-wit: "look
out for hdrbor ROOM" Nobody ever ex-
pected the railroad to decline any,
thing 1t could get. Everybody expects
the Harbor Commissioners to protect
the channel way, and to use their good
offices to get the government to widen
and deepen 1t.

AS A REPUBLICAN SEES 1T.
(Philadelnhia I.adperf

There appears to be no doubt that
North Carolina will adopt the proposed
constitutional amendment. Practically
all of the white Democrats favor it,
while the negroes seem to be peculiar
~ Indifferent No Northern man can
understand the cohesion among the
whites in the South on this question.
unless he has visited that section of
the country In many cases. Northern
Republicans who have invested capital
in the South object to being taxed by
colored men. They admit that they
are inconsistent. but they go with the
crowd" Some prominent Southern
Republicans contend that with the ne
gro vote eliminated an opportunity
will be afforded to split the white vote
and to overthrow the Democratic party
on national elections. This may appear
Quixotic, but it is a fact that the solid
South will remain Democratic so long
as that is the only way to maintain
white supremacy.
1t is remarkable that the undsguised
effort of Southern Democrats to sup
press the colored vote does not meet
with stronger criticism on the part of
Republican papers in the North This
hesitation, however, is probably due to
the fact that the United States is
treating the colored races in Porto
Rico and the Philippines In a manner
to give the Southern whites a pretext
to declare their own discrimination
against the blacks justified.

THE MORNING LIGHT.

Virginia sends her greetings to the
Old North State. The bright light of
day has broken; the morning sun of n
new era is opening up in all of its
glory and beauty. We congratulate
the good people of the State upon the
orderly and peaceful manner in which
white supremacy has been accom-
plished. We congratulate them upon
its real accomplishment, for it means
much more than a casual observer
would suppose.
For the white man. it means an or
derby and business government. Great
ing respect at home and commanding
admiration abroad. 1t means that
scalawags and carpet-baggers, who
have led the Carolina negro into so
much trouble. will be forever relc-
gated to the rear. 1t means that is
sues will be settled upon their merits,
and men will be elected on account of
qualification. 1t means a new era and
happy and peaceful one, free from
the riots and disgrace of the past.

ENGLAND AN IMPOSSIBLE ALLY.

The Philadelphia Times. noting the
absurd canard of the Shanghai liar who
serves n section of the British press, to
the effect that an American intrigue to
gain control OF the Chinese customs had
been discovered. is moved to say:
The very wording of the dispatch is
malevolent to degree, and the feeling
shown in it is not by any means the
only expression of ill-will and nasty
jealousy that has come from the Brit
ish in the East. When Kempn drew off
from the forts at Taku and wisely de-
clined to take part in the incxcusable
blunder of their bombardment the tone
of the official dispatches and of the
English press was at once contemptu-
Gus and derisive. When the military
of Tien Tsin the English official dis
patch said that the American contin-
gent had failed to obey orders with ref
erence to taking position. The infer
ence that 1t was sought to make appar-
ent was that the Americans were.
therefore. responsible for the first re-
pulse and the heavy loss which the at
tack entailed."
This is n mere statement of what
every intelligent reader of the dis
patches from the East, via London, has
noted for himself. England has been
the giant figure about which all the
other Powers merely revolved. And not
one of the allies but has, in turn, been
outrageously slandered either by Eng
fish correspondents or English officers.
The one bright spot in this record of
uniform and malicious misrepresenta-
ton was Colonel Forwards vindication
of the conduct OF Colonel Liscum at
Tien TSn. and this was n vindication
as against the infamous libel of Dor
wards own countrymen on Il heroic
officer who died at the head of his regi-
ment.
Such is the reward of the alliance for
and by which Mckinley and Hay have
forfeited the good will of nations that
stood our friends when England was
engaged in the lofty business of incit-
ing rcd Indians to raid our outlying
settlements and torture our women and
children. Not once in all this century
and a quarter has England spoken us
fair unless she had a selfish purpose to
serve. and to-day. when n complacent
President and n plant Secretary of
State are engaged in pulling English
chcstnuts out of the fire in China, Eng
land sets paid liars on to Islander our
living and traduce our dead.
England is an impossible ally. She is
insufferable. She has the hatred OF
every nation in Europe because she has
fairly earned it by punic faith and
brutal selfshness. These have become
habit with her and she cannot put
them off If she would. Acting always
from the most sordid motives. stopping
to plumber and piracy with a pietistic
whine on her lips. England is without
honorable intent or honesty of purpose
herself and is unwilling to concede
them to others. If we must have allies
let us choose Turks or Chinese. of
whom we shall know what to expect,
and who. though they betray us in
pinch, will not libel and insult us before
the face of the civilized world.

.aNAD|K MINI HORROR
1T is THE SUBJECT OF INQUIRY
BY STATE LABOR
BUREAU
RESPONSIBILITY NOT FIXED
Inspector McCaIIum Makes an Ex-
haustive Report as to Facts
without Criticism OF
ANY One.

The responsibility for the Hale mine
disaster at Biwabik, June IA, is the subject
of an exhaustive report filed with Labor
Commissioner McIIale by Factory Inspec-
tor McCallum yesterday. Five men lost
their lives, and the state department IS
endeavoring to fix the responsibility for
the accident. Directly following the acci-
dent Inspector McCalIum was detailed to
make thorough investigation Of the dis
aster.
While standing In what they supposed
was a place of safety, five miners were
crushed almost beyond recognition
by the caving in Of large
bed Of quartz, caused by the blast
in a neighboring drift. The charge was
placed seven feet from one of the main
drifts, and twenty feet from a lateral
drift The force of the explosion tore
a large hole through the entire twenty
feet to the lateral drift and crushed the
tinbers which held up the roof, killing
the men as indicated. A close investiga-
ton by Mr. McCallum discloses that
vein of soft quartz lay between the blast
and the lateral drift where the men were
standing, and while the drift only seven
feet from the charge was uninjured, the
lateral drift twenty feet away was badly
wrecked The theory of the accident is
that the soft quartz vein leading to the
lateral vein was easily penetrated by
the blast when the solid ore wall of only
seven feet formed a wall of iron in the
way Of the blast.
Mr.. McCallum is unable to fix the re-
sponsibility for the accident
He states that the foreman Of the mine
was in danger Of being lynched, and
considerable feeling was wrought up over
the disaster. 1t is claimed that the shift
boss did not notify the men in time for
them to seek a place Of safety. On this
point, however, the men who were in the
mine at the time disagree The testimony
of the witnesses indicate that the men all
believed they were in a place of safety.
The question arises as to whether the
company should have known of the exist
ence Of this vein of quartz. Following
the accident a cOroners jury, made up
with one exception, of employees of the
Colonial Iron company, who depend upon
the good will Of their employers for their
places, fixed no responsibility. Mr. Nc
Callum regards the circumstances of the
empaneling Of the jury as a suspicious
circumstance, but declines to go on rec
ord as believing that the company was re-
sponsible for the death of the five men.
