THE QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.
DanyiIle Register.

Danville Register.
OF all the messages OF sympathy
that came to President Mckinley
from the Old World, after the act OF
an assassin had laid him upon bed
of suffering, the one bringing with 1t
possibly the largest claim upon the
American people was from the Queen
Regent of Spain. When we contem-
plate the natural resentment, the
mortified pride and all the masterful
emotions which must have struggled
for ascendency in the royal breast, as
she conceived the purpose OF putting
the recent past behind her and &C
knowledging her kinship with the
humanity OF the world by such an IL
lustration, in a time Of affiictlon, OF
that charity which endureth all things
and never faileth, the superb mag
nanimitv OF the act takes on the
guise Of a majesty well betting a
Christian Queen. The kindly deed
appeals to our appreciation OF the
profoundly pathetic, as we'll as to our
admiration of what is royalty large
hearted, great and noble. Great sor-
rows have lifted Her Majesty above
the plane Of petty resentments. They
have broadened, deepened and ele-
waited her sympathies. She can well
say with the royal David: at is good
for me that | have been afflicted. "
Long life and prosperity to the Queen
Regent Of SPAIN

McCIure's Magazine for September.

A typical number OF McClure's-that is
the brilliant September number in a nut
shell. Which means, in the first place,
that the articles are particularly timely.
To begin with the Okapi, the strange
newly discovered beast found alive in the
forests of Central Africa, is described for
the first time in America by its discover
er, Sir Harry H. Johnstown, K. c. B.,
Special commissioner for Uganda, British
East Africa The author contributes
some sketches Of this extraordinarily
cOlOred beast, from which q striking
frOntspiece in colors and other illustra-
tiOns have been made.
The coming competition at Paris for
dirigible balloons and the partial success
of an airshipsinvented by Brazilian
have aroused great discussion concern
ing aerial navigation on both sides OF
the Atlantic. therefore OF current interest
is Prof Simon Newcomb's contribution,
"Is the Airship Coming?"
In fiction, the September magazine
lives up to theremarkably high standard
set by the Midsummer Fiction Number.
delicious story, comically illustrated
by Henry Mayer, is "The Man Who Gave
No Tip" by Benjamin Ridgely; story
of real pathos is Kate NJ. Cleary's "The
Stepmother," beautifully illustrated by
Frank V. Dumond; Frank II spearman's
story, "Of the Old Guard-Dave Hawk,
Conductor, Looter and Hero" with a
fine picture of Dave by Jay Hambidge, is
in that popular writer's best vein. And
there are other excellent stories.

ROOSEVELT'S PATRIOTIC UTTERANCE.
This Sentiment Would Have Done
Credit to the President Himself.
Raleigh Evening Times.

Raleigh Evening Times.
The children of a reunited country
have il right to glory in the countless
deeds Of valor done alike by the men OF
the North and men of the South. We
can retain our evergrOWing sense OF the
all-impOrtance not merely to our people,
but to mankind, of the Union victory,
while giving the freest and heartiest recog-
milton to the sincerity and self-devotiOn
of those Americans, our fellOw-cOuntry-
men. who then fought against the stars
in their courses Now there is none left,
North or South, who does not take pride
and Joy in the Union; and when three
years ago we again had to face foreign
enemy, the heart of every true American
thrilled with pride to see veterans who
had fought in the Confederate uniform
once more appear under Uncle Sans
colors side by side with their former foes,
and leading to victory, under the famous
old flag, the sons both of those who had
worn the Blue and those who had worn
the Gray.
The above words are taken from a
recent address of Vice-President
Roosevelt delivered at Burlington.
Vt. 1t is patriotic utterance which
would have done credit to the Presi-
dent himself. This is no occasion for
either fattering or centuring the
Acting President of the United States,
and it does seem that it is high time
for the press to cease ridiculing a
man who possesses many enyiable
qualities in his character, and it is
especially inappropriate to declare
that the disaster of Friday is more
| deplorable because it discloses the
| possibility Of Col. Roosevelt becom-
| ing President. In his present posi-
ton he is entitled to dignitied re-
spect. He is now Acting President
under Paragraph 6, Section l, Article
2 of the Constitution, which reads as
| follows:
''6. In case of the removal Of the Pres.
| ident from office or of his death. resigna
toner inability to discharge the powers
and duties of the said office, the same
| shall devolve on the Vice President"

In the September Review of Reviews

OF the life and work of Dr. Robert Koch,
whose paper at the tuberculosis Con-
gress in London has provoked so much
discussion, is contributed by DR.. Her
mann Biggs, the eminent bacterioIogist
OF New York. DR.. Biggs gives full and
authoritative statement of Dr.. Koch s
relation to modern preventive medicine,
controverting much OF the ill-informed
criticism that has recently appeared in
the press and setting forth clearly and
succntly the methods followed by the
Koch school of psychologists here and
abroad, together with the results thus
far attained.

A SUMMER MIGHT SEA TRIP.

Nothing more delightful and refreshing
can be imagined than a short sea trip, to
break the monotony Of a journey by rail.
Who that has Travelled thus but recalls
with pleasurable thrills the delights of
the ride between Norfolk aud Washington,
Baltimore or New York? The splendid
cuisine, tempting the appetite, already
sharpened by the salt. breezes, and then
the cool quietude of the decks, and a
good nights rest, bringing in it's wake
renewed vigor and energy, are memories
never to be forgotten. The vacation
traveller finds in this the refrigeration he
seeks before he has even reached his des-
tinatioo, and the business tourist brings
to his occupation clear head and sound
nerves.
Summer excursion rates are in effect
via Norfolk and the water-lines, present
ing most favorable conditions. Any
agent or representative OF the Seaboard
Air Line Railway can give you full par
ticulars, and will cheerfully do so.

STAMP OUT THE EVILS AND EVIL
MINDED.
Raleigh Morning Post.


The assassination of the President
and the violence manifested in SO
many places toward people who have
become prominent in the business
world can but arouse the sober minded
to the dangerous tendencies of the
day and the iniquity Of much OF the
teachings of the day. When appeals
to the worst passions of men become
almost the rule by which so many are
governed in their daily pursuit, when
assaults upon property can be justi-
fed by so-called leaders, particular
class of enterprises marked for rob-
berry by all sorts Of methods and agen-
cies, the forms and instrumentalities
of Law itself being among the latter,
a very dangerous condition has been
established, not only calculated to
cause wanton destruction of property,
a corrupt disturbance OF property
rights, but vicious and wicked MUIR
derous assaults upon individuals.
When men, from personal malice or
political ambition, can persistently as
sault men, and the enterprises with
which they are engaged, resorting
not only to SANDER but palpable falsi-
fcation and use the power with
which they happen to be invested and
position they occupy to promulgate
and accentuate their vicious purposes.
we'll may ''insane" creatures be found
to carry out such teachings into logi-
cal effect-violence, either on person
or property. And all done that such
individuals may secure an income Of
some sort, financial or official, with
possible power to inflict still further
oppression, permit still further rob-
berry of the objects of their malice
and demagogy. These things are
| educating the vicious class into re-
garding robbery of certain important
and necessary enterprises as proper,
to be accomplished by peaceable
methods if possible-under the forms
and by virtue Of devious cOnstruc-
tions of the iaw-or by violence, to
individual or property as necessary,
to accomplish the dishonorable and
vicious purpose.
1t is full time intelligent and hon
est citizens were realizing the evil
tendency of these things and of those
who, Notwithstanding they sit in high
places, promote them, and were exer-
cising their manhood in condemning
and regulating all such.
| The assault on the President is but
the elimination of Just such teach,
ings and practices as we have, only
partially, adverted to. The strang-
ling of the infamous wretch who
made the assault at Buffalo should
not lull the people to rest, but rather
stimulate them to greater determine
tion to squelch the evil spirits wher-
ever found or whoever they may be.
The Phillistines are upon us!

DRIVE THEM OUT.
Wilmington Messenger.


What is to be done by the American
people, what shall be the course Of
the American Government in the face
of cruel and vengeful anarchism? 1t
is said that all through the North in
all the towns and cities Of size there
are societies of anarchists. Shall the
American people protect themselves
against such enemies? Will the
United States Government continue
Indifferent or will it adopt strong,
powerful measures to extirpate the
bloody assassins every where they
can be traced? Enemies of the most
deadly type have found their way
into ''ths land OF the free and home
OF the brave" Look at Paterson,
New Jersey. When the news OF the
murderous attack upon the President
was received by the red-handed anar-
chists who congregate in the place,
they held meeting, an orgie OF ruin
and rant, and rejoiced over the in
fernal deed of the assassin, and pro-
claimed their gladness, saying that
The did what it wss his duty to do. "
w nat an Outrage pom lIcedonl, upon
decency. upon all that is good and
true and noble. 1t was nothing short
of murder and treason they were en-
gagged in.
The anarchist is no proper person
to live in a free country-in repub-
lie. He holds absolutely nothing in
common with good citizenship. He
is public disturber and secret. re-
morseless, blood-stained enemy of the
human family. What must be done?
Shall they not all be driven out and
kept out? Shall the ficndsh enemies
in New Jersey be permitted to re-
main in our country to intimidate, to
plot, to kill? Shall not the immigra-
ton laws be changed altogether?
Will as brave. heroic people as those
of this country remain silent, quies-
cent, inactive, under the great chal-
lenge of crime and assassination, or
shall they rise up and swearing upon
the affairs of their country, drive out
the last suspected villain who plots
to kill and seeks to eXterminate?

ten to ascertain if there is room for
them. He says there is great demand
for industrial education throughout
the State, and that the A. & M. Col
lege would have thousand students
if it had room for them. Its greatest
need now is for more dormitories and
shop-room for woodworking and
iron-working. 1t is pity that boys
seeking industrial education have to
be sent back home. The State needs
skilled labor in all lines, and it ought
to provide ample facilities at the A. &

How They Swooped Upon His or
flee and Edited the Sheet.
Mr.. David Rittersbach, of College St.,
Recalls the Story.
The Sheet, 0xlS, Was Printed on Wall Paper, at
Vcksburg, July a, 1863. II

A group of G. A. r. men were dis
cussing incidents of the war, and
battles In which they had participated,
when Mr.. David Rittersbach, of 322
S. College St, who was member of
Co. G., of the Goth Illinois, in Logans
Division, recalled good story of the
battle of Nicksburg, fought in 1865.
I'VE had been lying in trenches
around the town for IS days. We had
no covers, and rations We're carried
to us, but there was no complaint,
and everybody kept in especially good
cheer, considering the circumstances.
When Gen. Grant first reached the
vicinity we did not have enough men
to surround the town, but by strategy
impressed the penned up soldiers with
the idea that we had plenty of men.
The regiment was stationed short
distance from the town, and the in
habitants could see us marching.
There was a knoll around which the
men paraded, and the. manner in which
these parades were conducted gave the
impression that we had large army.
The men would keep marching steadily
around the knoll, and OF course the
inhabitants could not see on the other
side. In this way they could not see
how they were being deceived as IL
small number of men, kept marching
for several hours, easily conveyed the
impression that our ranks were al
most without number.
FINALLY when We did capture the
city, the boys found among things,
a printing office, where the Nicksburg
Daily Citizen was printed. The form
(for the paper was only printed on
one side of page, and the stock was
wall paper) was almost ready to go
to the press, and some of the Yankee
Printers finished the composition and
run off the edition. The Confederate
editor had roasted" us Yankees. and
sprung some jokes on Gen. Grant
These were replied to briefly by our
boys, who also made some comment
on cat story told by the editor

CHANGE IN EDITORIAL TONE.
The Yankee boys here took charge
of the paper-the Nicksburg Citizen
and with closing word changed
completely the editorial tone of the
poor little paper. They did it in a
single note as follows:

the last wall paper Citizen, and is,
excepting this note, from the types
as We Yankee printers found them.

come as a curiosity"
Mr. Rittersbach prizes the paper
highly. He saw an advertisement in
a G.. A. r. paper that a number of
these papers could be secured as
souvenirs, and lie sent for a copy.
