RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF LIFE
AT ST. PIERRE.

a New York Herald cable from Fort

warning of the eruption of Mont Pelee
on the 8th instant A scientist of the
Martinique university a been in
structed to investigate the rumblings
and duacking going on in the noun

did his duty bravely. He went to the
crater of the volcano. and from what
he Their saw became convinced that a
terrible upheaval was imminent. He
sent d cipher dispatch to the governor
giving warming of what was sure to
come. even predicting that the eruption
would be delayed but a few days.
This warning was not needed The
governor not only ook no steps to
warn the 10000 people of ST. Pierre.
whose lives were in danger. but took
steps to keep them within the n of
h deadly eruption. Governor Mouttet
wa so incredulous that he went i'm

intention to there remain. He did re-

This was not courage. 1t was ras

To Governor Mouttet's disregard of the
warnings of the man who had looked
into the crater of the volcano and saw
there indisputable signs of the coming
catastrophe is due the fearful destruc-
ton of life that soon followed Had he
needed the warming and, instead of
forcing the people to remain. urged
them to leave the city until it was prov

WHY SO MAN YOUNG MEN LEAVE
OUR STATE.

The remark has been made that
North Carolina is a good state to move
from, and Judging from the number of
men of brains. pluck and energy who
in the past have gone and are still go
ing to other states tc Seek livelihood
it seems that a good many believe in
the truth of the saying.
This emigration is of Il class that the
state car least afford to loose. The
worthless, shiftless, those we could best
spare, who are of no good or credit to
brainy young men VINO wish to make a
name for themselves go beyond her
borders to better their condition.
Many of the brightest and most promi-
uent men of other states are natives of
North Carolina, men born and educated
in this state, who when the time ar
rives to begin their life work seek other
fields of labor where greater rewards
await their industry. We find in the
halls of congress-, on the bench, in
journalism. in the pulpit ana in other
honorable positions North Carolinians.
who are credited to the states of their
adoption.
Our state has suffered greatly from
this in the past and this deplorable
condition seems likel- to continue in
definitely unless something is done to
stop this drawing on our states best
resources.
What is the reason for this almost
universal desire to abandon this state
for other fields of labor, this general be-
lief that greater opportunities are Of
fered elsewhere? That a prophet is not
without honor save IN his own country
is as true today as WHEN it was divinely
spoken nineteen hundred years ago.
While we let our young men so to other
states to seek positions they should be
given at home, we seek beyond our
borders for men not a bit better quail
fed for the positions given them or
worthy Of the honors conferred upon
them thar the ones We let go forth
among strangers to win the honors and
regulations they shoild receive at
home.
When North Carolina learns to APP
~preciate her own sons and 10 make ii
worth their while to stay at home this
unfortunate condition of affairs will
cease and not till then.

THE PLATT AMENDMENT.

The press has had a great deal TO ga!
Of late about the PLAT Amendment
Many people, no doubt, wonder wha'
this PLAT Amendment" is. Well, tn;
best definition we can give Of the term
is: A clause incorporated in The army
appropriation bill of 1901 which will
give the United States a plausible ex-
cuse for stepping in at any time anC
hosting the Stars and Stripes over the
island of Cuba.
After this amendment to the bill was
adopted h members of the Cuban
constitutional convention put this con-
struction upon the clause, and they
were much opposed to it; that is. those
opposed to ultimate annexation of Gu
ba opposed it, and 1t took a good deal
Of diplomacy to get the Cuban conyen-
ton to accept this conditional clause in
the framing of their constitution.
The PLAT Amendment" is the string
which u government has attracted to
Cuba Libre-the strand of the hallyard
Governor General Wood failed to cut
on the palace roof in Havana on May
Goth.
Our government may never take q
vantage of the PLAT Amendment" but
if it does not it will be simply because
it does not wish to again take charge
Of affairs in Cuba, and not because il
cannot establish plausible excuse for so
doing. This PLAT Amendment" is so
worded tina the American government
can at most any time declare it's terms
violated by Cuba and claim the right
to step in and take control on account
of conditions broken.
The principal terms of this amend
ment are that before Cuba can ecu
her independence she must sell or lease
to the United States coaling stations on
the island; the Isle of Pines must be
left under our jurisdiction, it's status
to be later determined; the sanitary af-
fairs of the island must be properly con-
Quoted; the government shall contract
no debts beyond it's power to pay; she
shall make no treaties giving any for
eign power a foothold on the island or
control of her affairs: we claim the
right to intervene if her government
cannot protect life or property, or fails
to carry out the obligations assumed for
her by u government in the treaty OF
Can any one be surprised that those
CubanS who were anxious to establish
independence for this island
should be opposed to accepting these
In plain English. it is a
to Cuba that she shall have an
independent government so long as she
conducts her affairs, domestic and for
eign, in accordance with the views OF
our government. 1t was this kind OF
independence or none for Cuba-a case
of HobSon'S choice.

1t is said misery loves company.
May be some Wilmingtonians can
draw consolation from the following

track. When h paving was taken UP
