The Other Side of the Story.
OF course. there is another side To-
the story. 1t is said tbs men have
been furnished with practically the
same food that has been furnished the
officers. The officers. it was explained,
occasionally were enabled to order
few eggs for breakfast, whereas the
men received eggs but twice q week,
substantially. however, there Is no diff
ference in the quality Of food, and fire.
quently the meals are identical for Of
fcers and men.
1t is asserted that the food Of the
sailors was excellent in every respect,
and the statement that they have been

that the average cost per meal per man

had long been experienced in keeping
within the limit.
There was some complaint among the
men that they had been over-worked.
The answer TO this allegation is that

According to statements mads yes-

Depends on Who is Criticised.
Wilmington Messenger.

A large number of the bound
political papers proceed on the theory
that Caesar can do no wrong" that
is, whatever their party does must
be right, and they chime in and fol-
low like dumb cattle. Not so with
the New York Press. strong admin
istratiOn organ. 1t strikes right out
and has this to say about the Repub-
lican Legislature of New York:
"a colossal structure of corruption is
the monument the New York Legislature
Of 1904 has raised to the Republican
party. Not a single act this season it
has Voluntarily performed can be marked
with satisfaction by the party of the
State in it's appeal to the voters for their
Endorsement of the splendid performances
of the Republican national administra-
ton. ."-Greensboro Record.
Whenever the editor of a Republi-
can newspaper sees something in his
party which he does not approve and
has the courage to say so, Demo-
cratic editors step up and slap him
on the shoulder and say: "Good for
you; YOU are an honest man." When
ever the editor OF Democratic paper
sees fit to criticise the conduct of an
official elected to office by his own
party, those same men rush into
print in their papers to denounce him
as a traitor and forthwith read him
out of the party. In our opinion a
man can criticise the improper actions
OF officials OF his own party and still
be as good a party man as those who
cry down such criticism. intact when
matters come to a pinch he will be
found a stauncher adherent OF his
party's principles.

Sober Truth in This.
Raleigh Post.

We rarely ever fail to find in Rev.
T. K. Laws column of the Robson
ian some paragraph OF special merit
and suggestive of good, but nothing
he has written is more timely, or
contains more sober truth than the
following:
''lt is strange to us that so many
folk who are in other ways 80 sen
sible and fair will deliver themselves
OF verdicts adverse to the scene and
hearing of the trial and are not
bound by any oath and not charged
with the solemn responsibilities of
netting out justice, when the officials
charged with the conduct of the
trial too are acknowledged in most
cases to be be men OF integrity and
the equal OF any Others in the entire
commonwealth. Moreover their cap
abilities and intelligence are not in
tie least impugned. Oh, the unrea-
sOnahlpness of it all. The sentiment
of the public is not the trial court.
The opinions of the populace are as
variable as the winds The people
feel like crowning one day and cru
cifying the next. All the people turn
fools at times. Justice calls for
Judgment adverse to the views and
wishes OF the masses very often. Let
US conserve respect for courts by less
illogical criticism Of their decisions.

Cleveland To Hearst.


W liLnlnSu0H Messenger.
No wonder Mr.. Hearst has "got ii
in ,for" Mr.. Cleveland. His animOs.
ity towards the gentleman is explain
ed by an event which occurred in 1898
and which has passed out OF the
memory OF most people. 1t is recall
ed by the following, which we take
from the Charlotte Observer:
A correspondence OF the Mount
Olive Tribune is to be thanked for
reviving memory OF an incident,
which had been forgotten though II
was much remarked upon at the
time. On the 9th OF February,
1898, Mr. W. r. Hearst telegrapne6
to Grover Cleveland that a number
OF distinguished citizens OF the coun-
try, including the governors OF fifteen
states, and the mayors OF fifty-two
cities, had accepted membership on
his committee to erect q national
monument by popular subscription
to the men who went down with the
Maine, and askingipermissiOn to add
the sx-president's name to the list
OF national committeeman. This was
the reply:
"Princeton, n. j., Feb. Is, 1898
''To ". H. Hearst, New York Journal,
New York.
II decline to allow my sorrow for
those who died on the Maine to be
perverted to an advertising scheme
for the New York Journal
'GROVER RCLEVELAND."
That telegram ought not to be
forgotten again. 1t deserves to 20
into history.

A Deliver After Facts.
Greensboro Record.

Congressman Claud Kitchin seems
to be deliver after facts. The other
day Mr. Mr.. Morrell, of Pennsylvania,
was rebuking the South for failure
to properly educate the negro when
he was called to task by Mr.. kitchin,
who has been collecting information
relating to this subject for use iii a
speech he expects to make shortly
in the House. Mr. Kitchen asked
Mr.. MOrrell if he did not know it to
be fact that statistics show a
greater decrease of illiteracy in the
Southern States since 1880 than in
those OF the North. The Penn
sylvanian said he did not. Mr..
Kitchin then stated that the decrease
in the Southern States had been %
to the 100 as compared with II to
the 100 in Northern States. Mr.
Morrell said the North Carolinian' 8
statement was astounding to him.
General GrOsvenOr was much i'm
pressed with Mr.. Kitchin's statement
and he came over to his seat to dis
cuss the subject with him. The Ohio
prophet declared that the statement
could hardly be true and he wanted

He got it and also other data col
lected by the representative from the

NORTH CAROLINAAT ST.LOUIS
States Exhibit at the Great Exposi-
tion Will Fill Tar Heel Hearts With
Pride.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
North Carolina is to have an ex-
hibit at the St. Louis Fair from which
the State will derive benefits which
will be lasting for their results and
which will materially add to the
wealth of the State.
Through the untiring and we'll di-
rected efforts of Commissioner II. H .
Brimley, Mr.. T. X. Bruner and Com
missioner of Agriculture S. L. Patter-
son, a. collection of material for the
Tar Heel exhibit has been collected
and prepared which will show tho
agricultural and mineral resources Of
the State, and it's industrial develop
ment, as we'll as the great wealth
represented in North Cardinals vast
and almost boundless tracts of tim
Der lands, and the quarries of gran
tie, slate and marble. Nor has the
product of the waters of the State
been neglected, for the gigantic fish
and oyster industry which is SO i'm
pOrtant to the Eastern section, is
growing more stupendous yearly,
has been excellently represented in
the magnificent displays which are
now being installed at the exposition
in the space allotted to North Caro-
lima.
The last car load of exhibits left
Raleigh for st. Louis several days
ago. The entire exhibit comprises
several car loads, two or three cars
being shipped each week for the past
three or four weeks.
The office here of the st. Louis Pur-
chase Exposition Commission for
North Carolina has been closed about
two weeks, when Mr.. Brimley left for
st. Louis, and the office is now in ST.
Louis.
Mr.. Brimley has been one Of the
busiest men in the State for the past
year. In order not to neglect either
the duties of his office as State curator
or those made necessary by his posi-
ton as the head of the North Caro-
lima commission to the st. Louis Ex-
position, he has had to work day and
night. The St, Louis commission has
in the past year held many a night
ocSSlOll, NHcll Gllc uoUl VI
ment was not reached until II
o'clock. Their duties have been most
Iaborious, and the general public lit
tie know what a tremendous under
taking 1T has been to carry out all
the details incident to arranging for
and collecting the big exhibit, which
will be displayed at st. Louis at the
opening of the exposition next
month
In collecting the exhibits it has
been the object of the commission to
arrange as far as possible for a per
manent display, which, after the ex.
position, will be transferred to the
Museum of the Department of Agri-
culture. With this exhibit the Museum
of the North Carolina Department OF
Agriculture will be the finest in the
South.
