CITIZEN, SUBJECT OR ALIEN:

The Filipino and the Porto Rican
must be greatly puzzled as to his posi-
ton. He does not know whether he is
of that government or a foreigner in
his relations toward it. Nor does any
body else know, for the departments at
Washington have made directly oppo-
site decisions on this question. The
state department has decided that Fill
pinos and Porto Ricans are entitled to
passports just as any other citizens of
the United States. This would seem to
place them to certain intents and pur-
poses On the same footing as citizens
of this country. But then comes along
he treasury department authorities,
who say that all Porto Ricans and
Filipinos who come to the United
States are subject to the laws and
rules regulating the landing at our
ports of all other aliens.
So where do these o or unfortunates
stand? They have no country of their
own and are banded about from alien
to citizen of our government according
to which department of the government
they come in contact with. The only
thing settled is that they are under the
American flag, but nobody seems to
know what that term means. The fed
eral supreme court, in its decisions on
cases brought to decide this matter, in
stead of settling it rather made the
uncertainty all the greater. The opin-
ions in those cases would lead n to
think the court either did not know
how to decide the point or was endeav-
oring to find OF make a reason for de-
Gliding the question from motives of pol
icy instead of according to the mandate
Of the federal constitution. With the
executive departments at issue as to
the standing of these people n the
supreme court unable to decide what
their position is they are in a bad way
as to their nationality.

A VAIL FROM SAVANNAH.

The Savannah people have suddenly
awakened to the fact that the CONSOLE
dation of the Atlantic Coast Line and
Plant System with the consequent re-
movaI Of the latter's general. offices to
Wilmington means much to them in
the way of loss OF trade. 1t is stated
that the removal of officials already
made means an annual loss of 800, 900
and if the shops are removed, as rumo-
says is contemplated. there will be an
additional annual loss to Savannah's
business men of $500, 00e- The Savan-
nah News urges the Retail Merchants
Association to take action in the mat
ter to try to prevent mova Of
the shops and also to induce the rail-
way authorities to locate the general
offices in that city. 1t seems that the
business men Of th2t city took no ac-
ton to prevent the removal of the Of
fees, because they were ignorant of the
great loss such removal would entail
upon, the city. After the move has
been made they begin to bestir them
selves to get back what they have lost.
We are sorry for our sister city, but
Their we can not be expected to grieve
very much, for what has been her loss
has been our gain.

We are glad to know that the criti-
cisms of the article on the south and
the treatment of the negro by the
southern people, contributed to The
Atlanta Monthly by Professor Sledd,
of Emory college, a " had good re-
suits. His resignation was announced
in The Messengers press dispatches
yesterday morning. 1t is that much to
his credit that the had sufficient self
respect to sever his connection with
the college and retire from a pc ition
whose duties were the instruction of the
youth Of the south when he saw in
what estimation he was held by the
people IF this section. Tt is probable,
though, that he knew his resignation
would be called for if not rendered. The
college authorities could not have af-
forded, had they been personally so in
clined, to retain a man as one Of their
instructors after he had expressed such
positive sentiments in favor Of social
equality of the two races and had
brought such false and outrageous
charges against the white people of the
south. 1t would have been suicidal had
they done so.
We hope Professor Sledd will secure
a position in some college for negroes
at the north where he can exercise his
social equality principles and enjoy to
the full untrammeled intercourse with
his chosen associates.

THE SPREAD OF SMALLPOX.

AT Newport In this state a doctor,
who had been attending a smallpox
patient in "a nearby village, was put in
the station house for disregarding the
order of the own authorities to cease
mingling with the people. About two
weeks ago the New Bern city officials
were notified from Carteret county that
a negro woman who had been exposed
to smallpox had gone to that city. The
authorities made search, but could not
find her. Shortly otter that the post
master at New Bern was stricken with
this disease.
With smallpox in so many sections
of our state it Is remarkable that the
authorities and the people take so lite
precaution against it's spread There
is general opposition among the latter
to vaccination, and among h negroes
when a case appears the first thought
is to hide the patient and keep all
knowledge of the nature of the sickness
from the public. 1t should be made Z
grave offense against the criminal law
to secrete a smallpox patient. More
attention should be paid also to the
matter of vaccination. 1t is remark
able how many people oppose this pre-
ventive treatment and prefer to run the
risk of taking smallpox to being vacci-
mated.
This disease has gotten a foothold in
many sections of our state, and instead
of being wiped out, every winter finds
localities affected. The health author
tiles of the various towns and counties
should now prepare for the winter
campaign against his pest.

RUFFIAN TRUST MEN ATTACK At
TORNEY GENERAL KNOX.

The fight between the administration
and the trusts seems to be on in ear
nest and has assumed a most belliger-
ent form, as is evidenced by the fisti-
cuf between Att-rney General Knox
and three trust men In an Atlantic
City cafe, which wound up a heated
discussion m o the latter on the sub
ject of trusts. The attorney general
was doored by a stroke from one of his
antagonists. but vas rescued by the
cafe walters from after defeat. We
hope this presases that he will have
sufficient backing in his legal fight
against the trusts to come out winner.
Really the attack Ia a most coward
ly and contemplate affair. The three
gotten wealth claimed TO De gentlemen
Hardly had he approached them when
sat at a table in the cafe neat where
sat Mr. Knox with a party Of ladies.
and made such insulting remarks about
the general that he, after getting the
ladies out Of the room, returned to re-
sent the insults which he could not
notice while the ladies were present.
Hardly had he approached them when
tney sprang up and attacked him. One
report to a northern paper says that
Mr.. Knox was fioored. His account
or the encounter in this mornings
press dispatches would indicate that he
got h better of the encounter. It is
to be hoped he did. It Is a pretty
c-ome-to-pass when millionaire rufians
attack high officials for the conscien-
tious discharge OF their duty. This, IL
allowed to go UNPUBLISHED, Is more
dangerous than anarchism. Such con-
duct should be nipped in the bud by
b imposition on these millionaire
thugs OF he heaviest penalty of the
law.

OPPOSITION TO JUSTICE CLARK.

The Charlotte Observer announces
that it has from reliable source that
Thomas n. Hill, Of Halifax count
will o himself as an in
dependent democratic candidate for
chief justice of the. supreme court Of
this state. IF, however" the same au-
thority says "a committee or convention
OF his party should decide another 10
be more available he would very will
ingly withdrawn TO SUPPORT the choice"
The Observer says: Mr.. Hill is a
graduate of the State university, a Gull
tivated gentleman n a fine lawyer"
The same newspaper also
that it is in possession of information to
the effect that -. Lindsay Patterson,
Of Winston-Salem, another fine lawyer,
and fine gentleman, would, as a matter
OF duty, stand for chief justice if il
were thought by the element of the
democratic party which finds itself I'M
able to support Justice Clark that he
would be an available candidate"
So the opposition campaign has open
ed. The Charlotte Observer says its
statement is made on reliable author
ity. The best authority in this matter
would be Mr.. Hill himself. And We
think Mr.. Hill owes it to himself, and
TO the democrats OF the state, now that
this very positive statement has been
published by one of the leading news
papers of the state, 10 let the people
know whether it is correct or not. II
he has no idea or desire to u as an
independent against the nominee of the
democratic party he should promptly
contradict his statement. If he is
willing to lead the opposition TO Justice
Clark he should say SO now and not
wait until after the election is over to
say whether ne willingly entered the
for by the people opposed to Justice
Clark without his consent"
The next question is 10Y is he to get
the approval of his party through a
committee of a convention? How can
such body be assembled? Who is to
call such convention? We see no way
for Mr.. Hill or Mr.. Patterson to get in
the race for chief justice except by
making a declaration hat he is an in
dependent candidate. His votes will
come from those democrats who are so
much opposed to Clark that they will
uppor a good man, a democrat, in
preference to him and from the repub- |
licans. Hill or Patterson either, were |
he to come out as q candidate would |
get the full vote of the latter party.
After the above editorial was put in
type the mails brought us the card Of
Thomas n. Hill, to be found in another
column of this. mornings issue, an
nouncing himself as a democratic |
candidate for the office of chief JUS |
tice." 1t seems hat Mr.. Hill has taken |
the same view Of the matter as did The |

Still we do not see how |
Mr.. Hill is going TO secure the endorse

against Justice Clark he will run as /

A STORM PERIOD.

We do not believe ever before has this
state suffered more from storms NJ
wind. hail and lightning than ding
the present summer. Hardly a day has
passed for several months that there
has not been a report from one section
OF the state or another of a thunder
storm in.which there has been destruc-
ton OF life or property. Accounts of
hail storms which wrought great havoc
10 crops have been as numerous. A
popularity about the death dealing and
property destroying electric storms has
been that they invariably occurred in
the rural districts. We do not remem-
Der reading an account OF a single per
son in a city or town being struC by
lightning.
During the present week many Sec
lions of the state have been visited by
violent wind storms. Cyclones and tor
nadoes have been the order OF the day.
New Hanover county Is not the only
section Of the state that has suffered in
this respect in the last few days. We'd
nesday and Thursday were days OF
fierce wind storms In many portions OF
the state. The newspapers announce
violent storms at Goldsboro. Durham.
Greensboro and other points. 4 storm
struck Goldsboro about 4 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon and did much damage,
though no lives were lost or buildings
torn down.. AT Greensboro and in the
adjacent county much damage was
done by a wind storm on the same day.
At Durham. about the same time a
cyclone tore down a brick dwelling
house, destroyed the steeple OF n
church, blew down another. wrecked
part of a residence and demolished sew
eral out houses. Great damage was
also done to crops and fruit and shade
trees in the vicinity o. the town
MANY other points in the state report
violent wind storms, doing much dam
age.
AS was reported in yesterday morn
ing's papers our section suffered seri-
ously in one instance Wednesday night
from this storm OF general prevalence.
The wrecking OF the pavilion at Caro-
lima Beach was most distressing and
the symapthies of the citizens of our
city go out To the sufferers n their
friends, and at the same lime We re-
joice with them that the results of h
cyclones work were no worse. That
any who were in the building lived To
tell the tale of the storms work is mi
%raculous.
While sympathizing with the victims
of this storm the people of Wilmington
should be truly thankful that this cy-
clone, with the strength TO make a play
thing of strong, substantial. buildings.
did not strike our city. Picture h
loss of life, the wreck Of substantial
buildings and the destruction of prop
erty that would have resulted had that
all destroying elemental force laid its
course through this city. II is a Gods
mercy that it passed through a so thin
ly settled section Of the county n that
so few inhabited building We're in its
path. Nothing could have withstood
its power and our city would now be
mourning for the many left dead in its
wake. We had a narrow escape indeed.
The variation of a few points OF h
compass in the course of this cyclone
would have brought Wilmington in it's
path and appalling would have been the
destruction.
