So far it does not appear that the Re

ed Col. Roosevelt’s great history of the
Spanieh-American war, "Alone In Cuba,

The story that ex-Speaker Reed has been
blacklisted by the administration does not
taliy with that other story that Joe Man
ley has officially invited him to speak for
McKinley during the campaign. The lat
ter is probably the true narrative.
Frank Pettigrew, son of the South Da
kota senator, seems to have the courage
of his father's convictions, since he has
gone to South Africa to fight with the
Boers. It would probably have pleased
the elder Pettigrew more, however, if his
eon had gone to Manila and offered his aid
to Aguinaldo in chasing the miserable
American soldiers into the sea.
The rencus report respecting the popula
tion of Cincinnati is well calculated to put
other cilies upon notice not to be too sore
ly disappointed if their figures do not come
up to their expectations. Cincinnati is a
virile, vigorous city, in a populous and
prosperous section of the country; never
theless her increase in population has been
lees than 10 per cent, in ten years.
Gov. Mount of Indiana most be interested
In the reports of the trial of Caleb Pow
ers at Georgetown, Ky. The mass of the
testimony given so far has tended to show
that Gov. Taylor was about as much im
plicated In the assassination of Goebel as
the man who is on trial. Gov. Mount has
been protecting ex-Gov. Taylor on the as
sumption that there was no case against
him.
The Democrats of Kentucky are going
to spike the anti-Goebel-law guns of the
Republicans. The Republicans have made
the amendment of the election law the
paramount Issue of the campaign. The
Democrats will hold an extra session of
the Legislature and change the law so
that there can be no objection to It. This
will be done long In advance of the elec
tion, so that the Republicans will be de
prived of what they consider their biggest
and best Issue.

a sight worth seeing.
It is calculated that there will be be

who will cast their firs! presidential votes

proximately as many In Indiana and Ohio.

THIS NORTH CAROLINA RLRCTTOX*
It would not be surprising if there
should be some instances of violence in
North Carolina to-day, growing out of
*he election, but there is no reason for
apprehending trouble of a very serious
nature. Political excitement has been
running high for several weeks, and there
have been complaints of bulldozing and in
timidation, but nothing hos occurred that
Indicates that fhe election will not be a
fair one. It is sold that in some parts
of the eta:e the Populist speakers and
the speakers of their allies, the Republi
cans. have not been cordially received
in fact, have been told that they could
not hold meetings—but, as a rule, there
has been a pretty fair all around.
Both sides will get out their full vote,
and that is ail that anybody can reason
ably osk.
Outside of the state the interest centers
wholly in the proposed constitutional
amendment for disfranchising the negroew.
That this amendment will be adopted by
a majority of from 20.000 to 40.000. is very
generally admitted. Even the Populists
and the Republicans concede that the
amendment will he adopted, and they are
trying to save the Legislature. Their ef
fort will be in vain, however. The Dem
ocrats Intend to make clean sweep. Not
only will the negro be eliminated from
the politics of the state, but all of the
offices will pass into the possession of the
Democrats.
North Carolina will be the fourth South
ern state to eliminate the negro vote,
.md it is probable that this reform move
ment will go on until the negro is out of
politics in all of the Southern states. It
hoe been clearly demonstrated that a
superior and an inferior race cannot get
along satisfactorily together on the basis
of equal political rights. The superior
race will not submit lo the domination
of the inferior one, and as long
os the negro has the ballot and
a big backing of voters, it is
but natural that he should want a
share of the offices. Ti looks as if the
Republican party had about come to the
conclusion that the placing of the ballot
in the hands of the negro before he was
ready for it was a mistake—at least, it is
rot manifesting any disposition to put
itself in the way of the movement for
the disfranchisement of the negro. As
a matter of fact the negro in the South
i * n mil J-stone around the neck of the
Republican party. He gives that party no
representatives in Congress, and no mem
bers in the electoral college, and his greed
for office and conduct at national conven
tions tend to bring that party into
disrepute. Not only that, but he prevents
the Republican party from making any
progress in the South. AII things con
sidered. therefore, it is probable that the
Republican party would rather that the
movement in the South to disfranchise the
negro should succeed than fall.
TALL REPUBLICAN TALK.
The Republicans are doing a great deal
of talking about the splendid prospects
of their party for success, and from
what they are saying one might suppoef
that they are expecting a walk-over. In
Washing!on, on Sunday, Senator Sco't of
West Virginia told some newspaper men
that the prosperity of the country was
so great that the people would not hear
of a change In the administration—that
many influential Republicans were saying
ihat there w r as no need of speeches and
parades by the Republicans, because the
people had made up their minds to keep
the Republican party In power.
And Assistant Secretary of War, Mr.
Meikeljohn, who has just returned from
Nebraska, and who wants to be senator
from that state, tells his Republican
friends that that state Is certain to go
for Mr. McKinley. Was there ever any
thing so preposterous? Why Mr. Bryan
will carry his own state by a very much
larger majority than Mr. McKinley will
carry Ohio. Indeed there are serious
doubts In the minds of many Republicans
whether the President will be able to
carry his own state.
Mr. Meikeljohn Is so anxious to be a
United Stares senator that he can see
nothing but Republican victory in Ne
braska. There is a great disappointment
in store for him. And Senator Scott must
know that in all parts of the country
mills are being shut down. Unless times
improve greatly there will soon be cries
of distress from the mill districts in pret
ty nearly all parts of the country.
The Republicans are Insisting that there
is great prosperity, and they would make
that claim if half the factories were
closed; but the public Is not to be de
ceived by such campaign yarns. It is true
that the country is much better off than
it was during the campaign of 1896, but
it is not as prosperous as it was a year
ago, nor sufficiently prosperous to Justlfy
the Republicans in making prosperity the
basis of their campaign speeches. Be
sides. if there were great prosperity there
would be no ground on which the Repub
licans could justly claim credit for it.
It is said that Mrs. Minnie Maddern
Fiske, the actress, registers from Mobile,
Ala., when she goes away from home. She
is now in Europe, and always writes “Mo
bile” on hotel registers after her name.
Many persons have wondered why she does
not register from New York. The expla
nation is that Mrs. Fiske was born and
reared in Mobile, and has never ceased to
regard that city as “home.” The Mobile
Register says her father, Mr. Maddern,
was manager of the theater there, and the
family lived over Betancourt's store,
next door. "Many an old Mobillan,” says
the paper, “remember# the bright-eyed,
auburn-haired little lass, the Minnie Mad.
dein of that day.'.' Few true-blue South
ern women ever repudiate the homes of
their birth and youth, even when they
have won fame and fortune.
What will be the effect u;>on the Triple
Alliance of the death of King Humbert?
The question Is likely to receive profound
attention shortly. Humbert has been re
garded as the. mainstay of the compact
between Germany, Austria and Italy, since
the retirement and death of Bismarck.
Conditions have changed since the famotls
agreement was made, and with new and
young men at the head of two of the con
tracting governments, it may be that
changes in the compact will be deemed de
sirable.
At the time of the assassination of the
Empress of Austria not long ago King
Humbert was warned that he had been
marked for a similar attack by the an
archist*, and his attendants besought him
to be more careful for his safety. He Is
•aid to have replied to them; “I must

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY,' AUGUST 2. 1900.
CIHtXS BETTER SATISFIED.
The Cubans are beginning to believe
1 now that the United States mean to
i deal with them honestly. A large major
ity of them have doubted that the United
States intended that Cuba should be an
| independent state, and for that reason
! they have not shown a friendly feeling
for Americans. Even the turning of the
governments of the towns over to Cubans
did not satisfy them of the good faith ot
the United States. Now that an election
for delegatee to a convention to frame a
constitution is to be held on the Third
Saturday in September, and the conven
tion is to meet on the first Monday in
November, their doubts as to the pur
pose of the I'nited States have begun to
disappear and they are showing a more
friendly disposition.
The convention will be a very small
one. It will consist of only thirty-one
delegates. It will be large enough, how
ever. If the convention should be ns
large as the average constitutional con
vention in this country it would take the
Cubans a year or more to frame a con
stitution. No doubt there will be some
men among the delegates familiar wi’h
the work of constitution making, and it
is probable that the United States gov
ernment will take the privilege of super
vising the convention’s work. It is prob
able, therefore, that the convention wlil
submit to the people for their acceptance
or rejection an instrument that will be
very generally satisfactory. The United
States are pledged to establish an en
lightened and stable government in Cuba,
and they will therefore exercise the right
of directing the affairs of the island un
til the time comes for them to withdraw
from the Island.
It is probable that in the convention
the question of annexation will be given
some consideration, but it is quite certain
that no effort will be made to bring about
annexation. It will be better for the Cu
bans to give self-government a trial. If
the trial should be a failure, then annex
ation would come and it would be perma
nent.
It is said the Cubans are taking a very
great interest in the election of delegates
to the constitutional convention. It
certain that it is the hope in this coun
try that they will be wise enough to
choose the very ablest men in the island
for delegates. The future of the island
depends largely upon rhis convention. It
can make or mar Cuba’s future.
THE HILL AND CHOKER FEUD.
The accounts in the New York news
papers of the efforts of Senator Jones.
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, to make peace between ex-
Senator Hill and Mr. Croker are decid
edly interesting, but rather indefinite.
According to these accounts Mr. Jones
is very well satisfied with what he has
accomplished. He says that Mr. Hill
and Mr. Croker will work together for
the success of the ticket.
No doubt they will work for the suc
cess of the ticket, but It is doubtful If
they will work together. Each will work
in his own way, and that way will be to
defeat each other's plans for accomplish
ing personal ends.
It is doubtful if Mr. Hill and Mr. Crok
er will ever again pull together in double
harness. They hate each other too bit
terly. Each is an able man and each
wants to dominate. As between the two,
it is probable that Mr. Hill is prepared to
make greater sacrifices for the success
of the national party than Mr. Croker.
The impression is abroad that Mr. Crok
er's first consideration Is the success of
Tammany. This impression may do him
an injustice, yet there is much apparent
ly that confirms it.
But what difference does It make
whether Mr. Hill and Mr. Croker are rec
onciled or not? Because ©f the quarrel
between these two leaders Democrats of
New York are not going to remain away
from the polls. It is doubtful if the an
nouncement that they had settled all of
their differences were made a thousand
votes would be affected one way or the
other. Let them continue their feud if
they want to, but let them understand
that they will be held responsible if they
sacrifice the welfare of the party in any
way in their efforts tO’ injure each other.
The New York Supreme Court has de
cided that a person may recover damages
for the unauthorized use of said person’s
portrait for advertising purposes. A man
ufacturing company had been using (he
picture of a pretty young woman of
Rochester on some of its packages. She
objected, but the company claimed that
she had no property right in her own por
trait. The matter was taken into court,
and the lower court sustained the conten
tion of the company. The case was ap
pealed. The Supreme Court holds that the
young woman's right of privacy has been
invaded, and that she is entitled lo dam
ages. The decision draws the line sharply
between those public persons whose pic
tures and lives are rightfully public prop
erly, and private citizens, such as the
young woman complainant, to whom pub
licity would bring embarrassment and un
pleasant notoriety.
It may be doubted that a direct advance
upon Pekin has been begun, owing to the
smallness of the available forces for such
a movement and the resistance that would
almost certainly be encountered. It is
however, that a preliminary ad
vance has been begun, with a view to
establishing a base of supplies beyond
Tien Tstn to be drawn upon when the main
expedition moves upon the capital. It I*
now clearly understood to be the policy
of this government, and of those of Great
Britain and Japan, to push through to
Pekin with the lenst possible delay; hence
it is to be expected that the rush to the
rescue of the legatloners will not he long
delayed. The preliminary work which Is
now going forward will facilitate the at
tack, which will no doubt be begun as
soon as reinforcements have been landed.
On her official trial trip, (he other day,
the new Russian cruiser Variag, built In
Philadelphia, proved herself the fastest
craft of her tonnage and type in the
world. For more than seven and a half
hours her average speed was 23.7 knots,
while In one ten-mile spurt her speed
was at the rate of 24.6 knots. An acci
dent, however, spoiled the trial, and she
will have to undergo a second test. It
is claimed that there are two cruisers In
the French navy that are approximately
as speedy as the Variag, but they have
23,01)0 and 22,000 horse-power, respectively,
to the Russian's 17,000 horse-power. This,
If Is claimed, proves that the American
model hull is superior to the French
anode!

CTHHENT COMMENT.
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
“Gen. Matt W. Ransom, perhaps the big
gest man in North Carolina, was driven
Into retirement because he would not
change his views in 1896 lo suit Tillman
and Altgeld. Now he Is throwing him
self Into the great campaign for white
supremacy In his state with as much vig
or as if he had never been slighted by the
constituency which he served so long and
so well. The fine old fellow has always
shown himself ready to help his people
when they needed him. He Is a statesman,
not a peanut politician. One man like him
were worth more to a community in Con
gress than a score of puppets who are
habitually immaculate in their ‘party reg
ularity.' ”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says;
"In England's copy of the Chinese Em
peror's appeal for mediation it is stated
that 'of the foreign commerce of China
more than 70 per cent, belongs to Great
Britain.' This result has been gained not
by efforts to cultivate the friendship of
China, but by two wars and a refusal to
submit to the smallest discourtesy. It is
the English doctrine that force only can
make the Chinese even tolerably decent.”
The Chicago Chronicle (IJem.) says
“ The Democratic party Is entitled to the
highest respect because It Is animated by
the highest and noblest of purposes—a pur
pose Identical with that which inspired
the patriots and heroes of 1776.”
The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.) says:
"Wonder if Mr. Debs is still running for
President? If so. he must be outside mall
and telegraph boundaries, or we would
hear something from him."
The Chicago Journal (Ind.) says: "Lieut.
Gen. Miles has added a star to his uni

Does it Pny to Be Polite?
Editor Morning News: In Saturday’s Is
sue of the News was a clipping from one
of your exchanges: “Does It Pay to Be
Polite?” instancing the annoyance of a
gentleman holding a springdoor open for
a hesitating lady.
That occurrence brings to mind an In
cident somewhat similar:
Several years ago a younw merchant of
one of the interior towns of Florida, re
turning from a purchasing trip in the mar
kets of the North and East, came South
by the l>eautiful Shenandoah route. The
breakfast house was at the Luray Inn,
and trains from the South and North met
there.
The Florida merchant was amongst the
first to enter the breakfast room, and
promptly gave his order, w r hich was also
promptly served. Just at the time his
breakfast was placted before him, a lady
and little girl were shown to the samo
table. Politely, he asked the lady if she
would not accept the spread just made,
and he would order again. With thanks
she. accented and she and the girl began
at once upon the viands.
There was a short delay in filling the
second order, which made the merchant
somewhat late in finishing his breakfast.
In the meantime the lady and little girl
had finished their meal and left the room.
The train was called by the porter as the
merchant concluded his repast, and in
passing out, handed the cashier 75 cents,
the customary price of a meal.
“I want a dollar and a half more,” said
the cashier.
“What for?” responded the Florida man.
“For that lady’s and little girl’s break
fast,” responded the eatinghouse cashier.
“I guess not,” answered the merchant.
“I have nothing to do with them.”
“Well,” answered the cashier, “they
said you would pay for their breakfast.”
”1 do not know them, nor am I respon
sible for their meals,” again said the mer
chant.
“Well, those breakfasts will have to be
paid for. They were with you and they
said you would settle for them. You can
not leave until that bill is paid,” replied
the cashier.
“Am I to be held responsible for all the
people who ate breakfast this morning,
because they happened to be in the break
fast room the same time I was?” angrily
asked the Florida man.
“Those two breakfasts have got to be
paid for. The lady certainly said you
would settle for them, and you can’t leave
until they are paid for.” Time was up and
the Florida man held a limited ticket, and
if he stayed to further argue the case he
would lose the value of his ticket. So he
paid the additional $1.50. He has never
satisfied himself whether the woman im
posed upon the cashier of whether the
cashier saw the opportunity of forcing the
merchant to pay that additional $1.50 as
a clear bluff.
Anyway it has satisfied the Florida mer
chant that it does not pay to always be
polite.
Whether the lady was so ignorant of the
laws of etiquette a$ to understand the
merchant as offering to furnish her break
fast for herself and girl and did really
tell the cashier the gentleman who was
seated at the same table with her would
pay for their breakfasts, or whether the
cashier saw the opportunity to bluff or
bulldoze the man into paying the demand,
is still an unsolved problem.

Come hither. Tommy Atkinses; console me,
if you can!
I’ve been a private; now, alas! I am a
public man.
I've fought a fresh opponent, and I've giv

But now, instead of meeting Boers, I only
bore a meeting.
Of course, it sounds delightful; yet life
still hath got its rubs;
I once was clubbed with rifles, now I'm
rifled with these clubs;
Instead of raising funds for me, as used
to be their way.
Constituents all look to me to do the
"pay, pay, pay.”
They think, as I'm a soldier, when they
stretch their greedy palms.
It is simplicity itself to me—presenting
alms;
They harass me by night and day; it seems
to be their view.
As I've been taught to stand at ease. I’ll
stand a teasing, too.
They write to me for cheques and add an
ticipating thanks;
The only checks I ever had were on Tu
gela banks.
And these must have been broken by the
run on them, I fear;
Those checks were never honored by the
people over here!
Then, too. my colleagues look askance. I
held my head up high.
When I was in the ranks, but now a rank
outsider I.
Ah me! I mourn those happy days that
long have taken flight,
For though we then were drill’d all day,
we were not bored all night.
TnUliiß Things Ensy In Cnlm.
“I was stopping for a few weeks with
an American friend on his sugar planta
tion in Cuba,” said a congressman who
recently visited the island; “and one day
as I was riding out alone I came across
one of the wagons loaded with cane brok
en down in the field. A hind wheel had
come off. and the driver of the oxen, who
was a boy about 15 years old, was taking
things as cool as ice, not oven having un
hitched his beasts.
" 'When did It happen?' I asked, as I
got down.
“ ‘Hours ago. senor,’ he replied.
" 'And haven't you reported to the over
seer?'
"No. senor.”
" ‘But why have you wasted all this time
when there is need-of hurry?"
" 'Will the senor tell me.’ he replied,
as he lazily scratched his head, ‘what has
happened to the wagon?"
" ‘Why, a wheel has come off. of course.'
” 'Then I will go up to the mill end re
tort. I should have done so long ago, but
I wasn’t sure.'
"'Sure of what, you dolt?'
" 'Of whether the wheel had come off
the wagon or the wagon had come oft the
wheel.’ ”
tliniilan as a llnnter.
I met the biggest liar in the world re
cently. says a writer in the Denver Times.
He was telling hunting stories. He said
he went about ten miles from Pike's Peak
and saw a mountain lion perched up In
a tree.
"I took steady aim.” he said as he saw
the bystanders all attention, "and shot
him plump between the eyes. He gave a
spasmodic jump arid paralyzed right In
midair.”
"Hold on thpre," said a listener; "that
don't go; gravity would have forced him
to the ground ”
"That shows all you know," snorted the
story teller. “That was such a dead shot
that gravity was paralyzed too.
“But you talk about lurk." he continued
without a blush “I was out duck hunting
once and had Just put one foot Into my
boat, with the other one st II on land,
when I saw a duck (lying above me, and
over on a small island a deer. Meantime
my boat was drifting out and t hadn't
tlm- to pul my oiber foot Into the boat.
I took aim. tired, killed the duck and the
deer, fell Into the water, and when I got
out my game bag waa full of fish."
Then the ambulanee eame.
—Shocking.—“They say the young man
Melissa Terklns is goin' to marry Is a
teg'lar paragon." "Ijtnd sakes! Do tell!
I thought he was a clerk In a grocery."—
