Young, of Virginia, in regard to the acquit-int nt of the Island of Cuba by the United Slates, and setting it apart for homestead settlement by the colored people of Ani'-rica, which has caused considerable com men t. The id< a of the annexation of Cuba is not new. As far ba k as the administration of President Polk an offer of 1100,000,000 was made, and proudly rejected by Spain, and on ' anous occasions since then Ps .12- quiitm-.nt, cither by conquest or purchase, has been seriously considered. It has long been apparent to many statesmen that the responsibility for the future destiny of the island must eventually rest upon this country. Prior to the present, trouble growing out of the Maine disaster many would have favored its acquirement by purchase, but as matters now stand they would spurn the idea of a purchase from opeople over whom there hangs a pall, the shadow of a great crime. It is fareiai in the extreme to prate of a Monro' doctrine, on paper, and thm propose to deal on equal terms with a people before whose horrid outrages the whole woiid stands aghast. •’This country," says Mr. Young, should therefore take possession of the island as humanely as it may. purchase the Linds of private individauls, divide it into small tracts, say of 40 acres each, and olft r it to the holered people of Ameri a undtr titles inalienable for 25 years, on condition of five years’ residence thereon, and the making of improvements to be specify d by law. "Ta’s stems to be the most humane method of settling the quarrel cf a cen turv wi:ii Spain, ami of ending the bru talitie- that have di-sgraced the Spanish admin •• ration is the island. "And then it would be a safe policy for this country, tor whatever our prejudices against conquest, the time has come when this nation must fortify herself by strat ngeous r <s-. csions abroad, if she would be safe from tori ign harrassment and inva sion. "A problem equally difficult of solution, and of mure Immediate interest to us, is the ra.- 1 problem in the United States. There are thousands of colored citizens of this country who were never able to acquire homes in the great west for the reason that it was all settled before they had oeen long enough free to avail them selves of it. The Alaska climate is too cold for them; the Indian Territory, when open for settlement, offers no possibility of success to them; to the southern white man this question is vital. The southern country home is fast fading into a mem ory. ”A fatal mistake in the solution of the rac< problem in this country has been the id<. a that education was 4he one thing necessary. Millions of money has been expended in schools and apparatus. Many southern negroes have been liberally edu cated. but tihis has insured no lucrative employment, save teaching among their own race, and this vocation is becoming more and mare crowded; hence, education is being discouraged. "The building of factories will not solve it. They are not skilled workmen, and if they were, . "ganized labor will not admit them to a place in their ranks. Success ful agriculture is equally beyond their reach. “The invention of machinery has thrown thousands out of employment, and the tenant farmer is in a hopeless competition with the broad acres and improved meth ods of the land owners. What shall be done? While they are here the land of the country must support the population of the country in one way or another. Ev ery man must have a living— not necessa rily a good one —but a living. "He must earn it a hired hand, have it given to him as a charity, or. what is. in finitely better, give him an opportunity to dig it out of the ground. This we have shown he cannot do here, but in the blood stained Pearl of the Antilles, where the soil is rich, the climate unobjectionable, the product such as he knows how to cul tivate, and where the physical environ ment will not allow him to ue crowded to the wall, as here, by a stronger race —al- ready in possession both of the land an the Institutions of the country—our duty is plain, our opportunity is providential. "Let us go up and possess the land." pay a debt to the colored people, and solve both the Cuban and the race problem." Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made and that, too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years he withstood its se verest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and her death seemed immi nent. For three months she coughed in cessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery by purchas ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes Mr. W. C. Hammick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial boules free at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store. Regular size 50c and sl. Every bottle guaranteed. VOLUNTEERS HALE AMERICA. Letter From Cuba on the Situation There. A mail letter from Cuba on the situa tion there says: Havana, via Key West, Fla., March 25 — Miss Barton deserves all praise for her work. She is not at all sensational. She does not seem to care for advertising, and she can not be hoodwinked by the people who are the finest on earth at that parti cular operation. On the oTher hand, Edi tor Klopsch seems to be here for the pur pose of advertising himself. Certain it is that his chief occupation is writing for his paper and bc-ing photographed by the side of starving people. This latter part of his business has become so common that any one seeing him coming begins to get his infirmities ready for the photographer. Klopsch is now bossing everything. General Lee seems to have steered clear of the whole muss. When I approached him today be said that he knew absolutely nothing of what was being done. He had appointed a man to look after it, and this man, Hyatt by name, had appointed sev eral committees to attend to the distribu tion. However much the njanagers may quarrel over the charity done here, this much is certain, viz.: They have done great good, and will continue to do good. That some broken-down Cuban aristocrats will profit by being on the committees is certain, but this fact should not prevent those so sorely in need from receiving re lief. Helpless women and children cannot return to their homes until the country districts are ridden of some roving bands yet left in the woods. The habitations provided by the govern ment for these helpless creatures are so filthy and foul that life in them is worse than death. Spain has all she can do to feed her own army and the food provided for the soldiers is that sent from the United States for the reconcentrades that the army could not be trusted with its dis tribution. The only way to get the supplies to the right place is to have them distributed by Americans. Secretary Congosto said that he was very anxious to get the people back to their farms, and would furnish seeds and guards to anyone who would under take to put these people back to work. "The three western provinces are well enough pacified now for them to go back to the farms nearest our forts.” he said, "and as the zone of cultivation extends so will our zone of protection." The whole energy of the government is directed toward maintaining friendly re lations with the United States. When asked what would be the result of a war with us Congosto said: "We would have to raise the white flag at the first shot." The volunteers still hate us. They hate Blanco. They hate autonomy and they care not for peace. They dislike seeing their fiendish plan of extermination—so nearly successful—interfered with. They will do all in their p:.wer to prevent the recon eentrados returning to their fields as long as Americans feed them. Many of these volunteers, who have been money-lenders, hold mortgages on farms. Weyler’s edict suspended the payment of all notes and mortgages for two years, so these note shavers cannot foreclose their mortgages. They know that if the reconcentrados go back to work they can pay their debts or borrow moremoney in a few months. For this reason they are anxious for the recon centrados to continue till the time of Wey ler’s edict expires. Many estates are now without owners or heirs, and will, of course, return to the state. The volunteers know that with the pres ent plan of autonomy in operation they will come in for no part of these confis cated estates. The government is too shaky to justify investments, and it seems that there will be trouble between the au tonomists and the conservatives. The lat ter party is composed chiefly of volunteers and are armed. Spain cannot withdraw her troops until the possibility of this trouble passes. It would be unwise to dis arm the volunteers before the election, as it is possible to get them into line by that <ime. and their vote is the largest. It is likely they will be disarmed afterward, as they have proved a dangerous factor to the government. Foster R. Winn. BONNETS AND RIBBONS. Small bonents are henceforth to be tied on with strings.

A traveller from the short grass country boarded No. 1 at Dodge City a few nights ago. He wore long, white whiskers, and a wide brimmed white felt hat, and he stood 6 feet 6. His boots were neatly blacked, and he had on a new suit of clothes. It was ap parent that he was not at home in his new toggery. He was going to California, he explained, to visit his oldest son, who was a prosperous fruit raiser on the coast. He 'had engaged a berth in the Pullman, and he asked the conductor where it was. "Right here, sir,” said the conductor, as he pointed out the-section. J "Do you sleep in that way, all curled up i on a seat?” he asked, in amazement. "No, it will be made up w'hen you are I ready to retire.” j The man did not exactly know what 1 "made up” meant, but he asked no more ! questions. He sat in the drawing room and smoked, and finally he said to the con ductor: "Well, guess I'll turn in.” "All right, sir; your berth is made up.” The man walked into the main part of the car. Then he went back to the draw ing room. "They all look alike,” he said. “You will have to show me mine.” The conductor showed him to bis berth and left him. The man looked at it; then he went back to the rear platform of the car and closed the door. In a few minutes , he stuck his head in the car, and shouted: "Look out; I’m coming,” and he made a run for his berth with his clothes, or most of them, under his arm. In the morning he stuck his head out between the curtains, and called the conductor. "How in thunder am I going to get out I on the platform to dress with all these 1 people looking?" , The conductor explained to him that he would have to dress in the berth. He did so, but it took him two hours. ANGLO-SAXON UNION. Alfred Austin's Poem on Co-Operation Between England and America. The ondon Daily Mail, under the ca ‘ion I of "A Voice from the West,” this moi vng j prints a poem by Alfred Austin, the. poet I laureate, which is based on the idea of co l operation between Great Britain and the j United States. The peom follows: i "What is the voice I hear j On the wind of the western sea? Sentinel, listen from out Cape Clear, And say what the voice may be. ’Tis a proud, free people, calling loud To a people proud and free. “And it says to them, Kinsmen, hail, We severed have been too long; I 'Now let us have done with a. worn out tale, A tale of an ancient wrong, And our friendship last long as love doth last. And be stronger than death is strong. ’‘Answer them, sons of the self-same race, And blood of the self-same clan, Let us speak with each other face to face, And answer as man to man. And loyally love and trust each other As none but free men can. "Now fling them out to the breeze — Shamrock, thistle and rose, And the Star-Spangled Banner unfurl with these A message to friends and foes, Wherever the sails of peace are seen And wherever the war wind blows. "A message to bond and thrall to wake, For wherever we come, we twain, The throne of the tyrant shall rock and quake, And his menace be void and vain, For you are lords of a strong, young land, And we are lords of vhe main.” BREAKFAST TUESDAY Fruit W’heatens with Sugar and Cream Broiled Ham Fried Sweet Potatoes Corn Bread Coffee LUNCHEON.
