Dlspeusary Primary in Cumberland.

1t would seem that the primary called
by Senator Mcneil and Representative
McKethan of Cumberland. to vote on the
dispensary Is meeting with opposition.
The advocates of the dispensary say they
would participate in a primary il ordered
by the county election board or the coun-
ty executive committees. although they
believe a primary totally uncalled for
by public sentiment; but they emphati-
cally decline to enter into the primary
called by Senator Mcneil and Represent
tatiye McKethan. it would appear, for the
reasons set forth in the following public
circular:
NO AUTHORITY FOR A PRIMARY
HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH 1T.
At meeting of the friends of the dis
pensary, held in Fayetteville recently. it
was unanimously agreed that no recogni
ton whatever should be given the indie
pendent call for primary issued by
Messrs. J. d. Mcneil and i. r. Mcclellan,
recently for February 18th, to vote on the
dispensary. for the following reasons:
l. Because the dispensary was not an
issue in the last campaign.
9. Because there is no authority to call
/
ecutive committees Of the different polit-
cal parties.
8. Because even if the proposed ''pri-
mary" were legal, all our Representatives
from Cumberland are not agreed as to the
wisdom of calling it.
4. Because we do not believe the public
good requires that the existence of an
institution which reduces crime fifty per
cent, increases public revenue 400 per
cent, and increases the county public
school term from three months (what it
was under saloons) to five months, twhau
it is under the dispensary) should be en-
dangered solely in order to crafty a few
opponents of the dispensary.
The opponents of the dispensary ORR
ginally favored a vote by the present
qualified voters" (whites and blacks
claiming that such pledges had been made
to the people. Ii true. how can they
satisfy this pledge by the proposed white
primary. and what caused the change?
No rules and regulations exist for the
conducting of such primary" as is pro-
posed TO be held. Therefore we warn the
friends of the dispcnsary to have nothing
to do With it,
Prohibition is not the issue in this fight.
The real issue is "dispensary" or 'sa
looms" vote for mo dispcnsary'' would
in effect be a vote for saloons.
If you prefer the dispensary to saloons,
vote neither way, should the proposed
primary" be held in your precinct Do
not recognize the so-called primary in
any manner for the reasons stated above

STATUS OF THE REPUBLICS.
United States May Recognize the De
FactO Government.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The status of
the Transvaal and Orange Free State in the
eye of the government of the United States
probably will be for the first time fixed
when a consul general is sent out to Pre-
toria to succeed Adelbert Hay, who has
just returned 10 Washington on leave of
absence, but without the purpose to go
back to Pretoria. 1t is said that so far
there has been absolutely no official decla-
ration on that point.
1t is understood that when the United
States annexed Porto Rico the State De-
partment sent no notices to any of the
powers: they were supposed TO take note
themselves of the Presidents proclamation
and the acts of Congress. The old consuls
retained their original exequaturs issued by
the Spanish government, these being rec
ognized by the United States military au-
thorities as sufficient for the purpose The
status of our consuls in South Africa is pre-
cisely the same; they hold their old exc
uuaturs, and these are recognized by the
British military authorities as sufficient
But. I'm the case of Porto Rico, whenever
consul retires this government made appli-
cation for exequatur directly to the
United States authorities it being the rule
TO recognize de facto administrations in
this manner. and il is presumed that when
a change is made in our consular repre-
sentations in South Africa the application
for an exequatur will be made to whatever
authority happens for the moment to be in
de factO possession of the place TO which
the consul Is accredited.

LONDON, March 19.-Joseph Chamber
lain, the colonial secretary, informed the
House of Commons, to-day, that General
Botha has rejected the peace terms Of
fered him. General Botha, Mr.. Chamber
lain said, had conveyed the information in
a letter TO General Kitchener, in which he
announced that he was not disposed to
recommend the terms of peace General
Kitchener was instructed to offer him, to
the earnest consideration of his govern
ment General Botha added that his gov
ernment and it's chief officers entirely
agreed with this view.
During the discussion of the composition
of the Transvaal concessions commission,
Mr.. Arthur Basil Markham, Liberal, as
serted that the commission made up
of persons affiliated with several great
South African companies. Mr.. Chamberlain
replied that, while he would not be infiu-
enced by South African capitalists, he was
not to be precluded from using any man
who happened to be connected with some
capitalist in South Africa.
The House of Commons sat until o. clock
this "wednesday morning to discuss the
estimates The only interesting point was
a powerful attack by Mr.. Burdett-Coutts,
Conservative, on the South African hos
pital commissions report. which he de-
scribed as partial, inadequate and impotent
ir its conclusions. Mr. Burdett-Coutts
charged the officers of the medical service
with cooking evidence, and he prac-
t:cally accused the commission of hiding
the truth from the British public.
The issuance of parliamentary papers
on the negotiations between Lord Kitchener
and General Botha Is delayed. General
Botha's refusal to accept the peace terms
offered him is commented upon with an
evident sense of relief. The idea that
Lord Kitchener initiated the negotiations.
instead of General Botha, as has been sup
posed, is unpalatable to the British press.
The Daily Mail, under the editorial cap
ton of "Our Rejected Suit" asks why
the government instructed Lord Kitchener
to sue for peace after the murder of the
peace ENJOYS, and concludes as follows:
Let the war be pressed to the utmost,
and let further reinforcements be pre-
pared, for they may be needed; but, above
all, let us have no more negotiations. %
