CAN CUBANs GOVERN THEM
SELVES.

One OF the best known diplomatists
recently declared that the Cubans are
incapable Of governing themselves. and
that the United States must maintain
It's present control indefinitely, or else
annex the island. There will be those
who will dispute this, but there are
none who dispute the well established
fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
Is capable OF controlling the common
diseases OF the stomach. It Is a rem
edy that is backed by fifty years Of
success. II Is an ideal medicine for
constipation; a strength builder for
those who are predsposed to lung trou-
bles. and FOR nervousness II Is Of won
derful benefit. As an appetizer It Is in
comparable. Those whose stomachs are
out OF order should not fail to try a
bottle.

OUR LIBEL LAW.

No law has been passed by the Legis-
lature of North Carolina that has re-
ceived so much favorable comment out
side of the State as the London Libel
Law. 1t has been published generally
in the craft journals and with approval.
The Savannah Morning News, discuss
ing the law editorially, says:
'sThe Legislature of North Carolina,
recently adjourned, passed libel law
that is a. credit to it. In too many oil
the States the newspaper is made TO
bear the burden of all libel suits, not
withstanding the matter complained or
was innocently published by the paper.
The new North Carolina law makes
any person who states, transmits or de-
livers by any means whatsoever, to the
manager editor or publisher OF any
newspaper or periodical for publication
therein, any false and lfbelous state
ment, guilty of a misdemeanor. Thus
the perpetrator of the libel, and not the
paper which publishes it, If the publ
cation is done innocently and without
malice, becomes responsible. The Legis-
lature very properly took into consider
aticn the impossibility of newspaper
verifying each and every one Of the
numerous items appearing in it's col
umns from day to day. If due precau-
tions are observed by the newspaper to
prevent false>and libelous statements
from getting into\its columns, the North
Carolina statute will protect it from be-
ing made the victim of other peoples
folly. Under the new law it may be
assumed that in North Carolina there
will be fewer hot-heads running around
the newspaper offices and airing their
grievances with the purpose in view of
getting them into print. Finding them
selves, and not the paper responsible,
they will be careful of what they say. :"

me TOO" sNEEzEs.

The Statesville Landmark, which
sneezes every time the Charlotte On
server takes snuff, has found out that
1.-The extreme element" Chose whose
Democracy is "all wool and YARD
widely were not honest in desiring to
have the cases against the the regis
trars mol posed. 1t says:
1.-THE fact is. the extreme element in
the Democratic party did not want
these cases dropped and for several
reasons. One, is that they did not want
she Democrats who opposed impeacn-
ment to get the credit for stopping
mem; another is that they, or some of
them. desired the cases to go on be-
cause they knew the trial and possible
conviction would create much bitter
partisan feeling and hatred of Republi-
cans among Democrats, and as this ele-
ment can only thrive and fatten on
strife they wanted the strife kept
up, regardless of soncequences.
Another reason is that good
many Democratic lawyers expected 70
get liberal fee out of the State Treas.
ury for defending these registrars and
also to attain notoriety in the conduct
of the cases, and they, therefore, are
not pleased when they find their occu-
nation gone 1t is these persons who
express Indifference as TO whether the
Republicans dropped the prosecution
because they say, the registrars could
not have been convicted anyway and
they were entirely too high-minded to
ask any favors of the Republicans, pre-
ferring rather to fight"
This is the sort of talk we have from
men who forever pirate against impugn-
ing other mems motives!
The extreme element" men who
are Democrats 365 days in every year
earnestly favored the vindication of the
registrars and their release from the
infamous prosecution born in partisan
hate and baffied rage. They are in &C.
cord with every person who calls him
self a Democrat, as well as with thoss
true Democrats, who sought to end the
prosecution with honor. They do not
approve any settlement that leaves
the sword of Damoeles suspended over
the registrars, that admits their guilt,
condones the crimes of their arrest and
persecution, and "slops over in praise
of Radicals who. lay claim to magma
nimity' while trying to fasten SANDER
upon the registrars and the Democratic
party.
No Democrat was party to the moi
pros based upon the public statement of
Steptoe Holton, and no Democrat will
defend his slanderous words and his un-
just reflection upon the registrars and
the Democratic party.

AMONG THE RAILROADS.

Yesterdays Pine Leaf published at
Southern Pines, says
'The value of the through trains on the
Seaboard Air Line is being felt at South
ern Pines. Scorcely train arrives from
Florida but that some travellers stop
over at Southern Pines. The Piney Woods
Inn is receiving many Florida visitors
and also many letters from that section :
The Wilmington Dispatch of yesterday
says:
THE Dispatch learns with pleasure that
there is a movement on foot among the
stockholders of the Wilmington and Well
don Railroad Company to have made
portraits of the late William T. Walters
and B. F. Newcomer, the same to be
hung in the Atlantic Coast Lines gen.
eral office. 1t is the intention TO raise
the funds from the descendants of the
original stockholders who are scattered
along the line of the road from here to
the northern terminus. The stock pur-
chased by the original stockholders under
the capable management of the deceased
mentioned above, proved a most profitable
investment and the interests of those
stockholders were faithfully watched by
the two great railroad directors who have
passed over the river. 1t would seem to
be especially fitting that there should be
some permanent expression of gratitude
on the part of those who were benefited
by the work of the deceased.

THE CRYING NEED.

1t has been demonstrated in the
towns and cities of North Carolina as
we'll as in other States that efficient
public schools Of long term cannot be
maintained without a special tax. That
tax is levied in all the large towns and
people are moving to those towns to
get the benefit of good schools The
crying need of the hour is good schools
in the rural districts They can be
made efficient only by special tax.
We are glad to see from the Monroe
papers that an election has been order
ed to be held in the Wesley Chapel
school district on the first Monday in
May to determine whether or not tax
shall be levied in the district for the
purpose of establishing high, school. s
Union county leads most counties IN
interest in it's schools, and we are glad
to see that some some of its
progressive rural districts are
taking the only course that can
provide permanent schools in the coun-
try for all the children. We hope the
tax will be voted and that the good
influence of that school may cause
many other country school districts in
the State to "go and do likewise. The
future good of the State depends quite
as much upon educating the youth who
are to till the soil as upon the establish
ment of new industries. Every time z
man feels forced to leave the farm anG
move to town to educate his children,
that moment there is distinct loss OF
useful citizenship. When this becomes
general in any section, as it has in
some portions of the State, it results in
the depreciation of country property
and the loss of that strength and power
that makes the agricultural section the
conservative power in government.
Better public schools for the rural
districts should be the cry. The
Wesley Chapel district has set a good
example. Let others follow!

RADICAL "MAGNANIMITY."

Everybody knows that the failure to
convict the judges in the impeachment
trial was the lever used to get the mol
pros for the registrars. An account OF
the conference by participant con-
tains this sentence:
The Democrats referred to the result
OF the impeachment trial as an evil
dence or Democratic fairness and mag
nanimlty and asked to be met in the
same spirit of magnanimity by the Re-
publicans in the matter of the prose-
cuted registrars"
And the Republicans agreed to meet
them lin the same spirit of magnanim-
ity'' in the matter of the prosecuted
registrars That is what they agreed
to do. How did they meet it? BY en-
tering mol pros with the proviso that
the United States Attorney reserves
the right to REINSTATE these cases
and PROSECUTE them, when, IN HIS
OPINION, the public good requires.
If the Democrats who voted against
impeachment had been Influenced by
the spirit that influences the Republi-
can bosses, here is the way they would
have voted in the impeachment trial:
1.-The judges are guilty and we could
convict them, but we suspend judgment
during good behavior and reserve the
right to try them again and pass judg-
ment upon them whenever IN OUR
JUDGMENT the public good requires. "
That would have paralleled the spirit
of magnanimity' shown by Attorney
Holton.
That's the sort of "magnanimity' your
North Carolina Republican, practices.
The prosecuted registrars have the
sword of Damocles still suspended over
their heads, while the Republican
judges have no impending sword ready
to fall on their necks.

Apropos of the discussion of the ex-
pense for intoxicants, President Brad
ley, of the Kentucky Distilleries and
Warehouse Company, recently said,
"Whiskey consumption is steadily on the
increase, and the present shortage buoys
the market He is of the opinion that
the recent rise in price is due to the
increased demand by consumers. We
had been comforting ourselves with the
decline.
