THE CAUSE OF T1IE WAR. The campaigrn o education relative to the origrin. and conduct of the need less, senseless war against the Filipinos is having a great effect. People ore steadily- learning as to the eternal in lamy of the thing. If you would read a very strong, Invincible exposure of the war upon the inhabitants of the Philippines you should get the article by Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri, that appeared some months ago. It is very full, very spicy, very keen, very brave and bold, and very conclusive. It can not be answered. It as readable as a goood novel and yet there is no fiction or romance in it.save at one point. He makes the Filipinos much more ignor ant and barbaric than they are. Writ ing probably in January he was not in possession of the testimony Of Admiral Dewey and many others who have been in the Philippines and know their real worth and intelligence. Mr. Clark's elaborate paper some thirty or more octavo pagess bristles with facts and arguments that are most telling, and the argument is clear and vigorous and relieved by something like humor in places. If McKinley had not been elected president there would never have been heard of such a barbarity as the pres nt war against the 10,000,000 inhabi tants in the Philippines 8,000 miles away. If Mr. Bryan had been elected this great stain upon national honor would not have been given, and the good name of free institutions would not have been so , blurred and brought under such . suspicion. McKinley is really responsible for every American -soldier's death and for every Filipino who has been ruthlessly murdered. The Filipinos did not begin to fight un til they were badly treated and saw that their subjugation was resolved upon. The Philadelphia American says this: "It was when President McKinley re fused to receive, even unofficially, the representative of the Filipinos, Agon cillo, refused to receive his appeal, re fused to hear him plead the cause of his people, that the Filipinos, despair ing of securing justice Jn the court of peace, a court deliberately closed to them by our president, were driven to wards war. Nor do we much wonder that President McKinley refused to re ceive him. For how could the presi dent have met the calm reproaches, how answered the appeals to our own history, how stood the references to our own ideals that that Malay would have doubtless made? Could he have brazenly avowed the truth, that it was greed that kept us in the Philippines, that we saw extension of trade In keep ing them and that altruistic notions cf the rights of man such as we had build ed our own republic upon should not be permitted to stand in the way of such extension, that our lofty principles are as nothing before the beckoning glamor of gold and trade? Such avowal Mr. McKinley could scarce have made. He the head of an empire unrivalled In re sources, in wealth and power, would have to have stood before the eyes of Agoncmo wun tne reelings or the crim inal aggressor, with the uneasiness of XL guilty conscience that no knowledge athat the strong had of might was at Ihis back to carry through his policy -could have relieved for an inner con science would have whispered that mitrht did not make rlerht. and before Agoncillo he would have stood as the 1- . 1 k.

It was those who, re fusing the Filipinos a hearing, denying them rights that we had written in our own Declaration of Independence as Inalienable rights of man, presented to those people the alternative of abject submission or war. And be it said to their honor that they chose war." Hon. John Barrell, late minister of the United States to Siam, has but re cently returned from Manila. He is an "expansionist" of the objectionable kind, believing that this government should conquer and hold. He tells the reason why to make money. The is lands are rich and offer big returns if we conquer and hold. He does not pre tend to hold that the Filipinos could not establish a government and. main tain ordr. Not that. He does not press the "anarchy" idea, about ex ploded now. He says in last February the army of Aguinaldo was an excellent one and in good shape to fight, equal ing that "of any European country." But the real reason, the true plea for conquest is, as he avows, because they are rich and tempting to the exploiter,, because "no section of the great conti nent of Asia or any portion of the world of similar area still undeveloped unci a autu niuc uutiuiuca iui int u vestment of capital in various enter prises," because "after traveling from one end to the other of Nippon, the principal island of Japan, and compar ing what I saw of its resources with what I have seen of the island of Lu- zon, and I can say that in every re- i ... spect, aside from mere area ana pop ulation, the comparison is in favor of Luzon," because "the United States -should develop to a foreign trade in the Philippine islands within the next fif teen years of $100,000,000. , And that is just the reason why. The motive is greed and not glory the ob- IlO.tlE FOLKS It is announced that Dr. Walter H. Page is to edit a new cyclopedia to be ; ' issued by the Harper-McClure com- pany.

The Raleigh Post mentions in con nection with the "negro town" in Ala bama that ? 'North Carolina has had such a town for years; Princeton, across the river from Tarboro. It is peopled by colored people, entirely, and had its own municipal government. and the last time we heard of the place It was a peaceable, quietly governed community, never Interfering with white people, and white people never trespassing upon them." We received a letter from a well known citizen of Warren county In which a depressed view of conditions in that fine old county is given. His ac count is based upon observation, upon knowledge. Prior to the war Warren was the largest slave-holding county in proportion to population in North Car olina, and probably the wealthiest. It is not so now." Fine farms are not pros pering now. We can furnish excellent authority to show that the once most prosperous of counties, . Granville, is now suffering much from present con ditions. Real estate has in many in stances depreciated one half in the last iwo decades. In fact ' hundreds of farmers are in a bad way. The oppres sive, gouging, devouring tobacco trust has done the destructive work. Ex -Judge J. C. MacRae, of Raleigh, was elected by the trustees of the uni versity to fill the place as professor of law, vacated by the death of the able, learned and greatly lamented Dr. John Manning. We suppose the trustees elected the best qualified man for the place among the half dozen or more seeking it. Mr. MacRae has served both on the superior and supreme court bench. He is regarded as a good law yer of large experience and was gradu ated at the university. He was elected on the second ballot. The News and Observer states that he will receive $2,000 a year, the salary of a regular professor, with an additional income of $250 a month for the summer school." He is a native of Fayetteville and was born in 1838, and is sixty-one years old. He served in the great war as Major, and has been . in the legislature." The university made him an LL. D. II OW TO PROTECT f lOUSUS AGAINST LIGHTNING. We did not know until Saturday that the weather bureau had issued a circu lar about lightning. It corrects a wide ly prevailing false opinion as to the lightning flash. It says lightning is really like an avalanche, a landslide, or the breaking of a dam. The whole force is exerted Instantly and there ie no after current. The flashes vary very greatly in pow er, but it is true that a well-constructed lightning rod will convey away a great deal of electricity and thus oftan either prevent a flash or verymuch re duce its power. For this reason strokes of lightning are comparatively rare in cities. Spires and tall structures drain over-charged clouds of much of their electricity. We know that the late very eminent Professor Joseph E. Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, held that a rod only protected an area twice the length of the rod above the object to which it was attached. Per haps forty years ago it was that he published his views in the celebrated American Almanac where it may now be found. . To protect a dwelling or other building with appropriate securi ty it should be well covered with rods and their connections. The signal office protection from lightning as it is imprac ticable unless a building is itself a good conductor as a steel building would be. Still a large measure of protection is easily obtained. A chimney, a church spire, or Other point, high in air, is al most perfectly protected . by a good lightning rod, and will reduce the dan ger from lightning to a wide roof be neath it very greatly. It is added that there is no definite "area of protection," as Professor Henry held. But who really knows now better than that rare ly endowed man of science knew in his day? As to the rod the weather bureau states that either iron or copper may be used, and iron is as good as copper, provided the section of the iron rod be enough larger to compensate for its in ferior conductivity. A rod of iron weighing. 35 ounces per foqt is held to be equivalent to a copper rod weighing six ounces per foot. A flat conductor is recommended. Glass insulators are useless. The rod may be fastened di rectly to the building to be protected. The matter of greatest importance is the condition of the two extremities of the rod a matter often neglected with disastrous results. A rod Is perfectly useless In fact a source of danger if its lower end is not carried down Into the ground far enough to reach wet earth. It should be connected with a j good sized piece of iron burled at the j lowest depth reached by the- rod. The top of the rod should be pointed and plated for protection from rust. This is about the sum of all that is communicated by the Washington of fice, as we gather it from an exchange, that has condensed It. In protecting buildings you may learn something val uable from the above. m iTlILICAN 11 A V LOSE. I While the democrats are in bad shape ! in some southern states, the republicans are not so well off as they flatter them : selves. They have troubles in some , ' r ... . diminish. The Germans constitute a lar Part of the republican vote in the west, and are strong in other northern states. They do not like, it is said , by that aggressive republican, negro or gan, the New York Independent, the the cruel treatment which their celved at the hands of McKinley and his tribe. v In addition, many "are Ro man" Catholics, and do not fancy at all thecruel ; treatment to which their brethren in the Philippines, the Cath olics, have received from the ridkrulouar and cruel administration. It also sees danger In the threats of the negroes. The New York Evening Post, gold or gan says: "It certainly will be a serious matter for the. republicans if they shall lose next year their old hold Upon the Ger mans and the negroes, and there is am ple warrant for the apprehensions ex pressed Dy the Independent." The negro vote did much in 183S, to help Hanna and his ballot staffers and vote buyers to put McKinley in, which was a very great offence against moral ity, decency, patriotism and good gov ernment Money will be to the front full handed next year. If plutocracy does not win and control the country it will be because the voters fail to sell out. - - BREVITIES General Mercier is becoming even a laughing stock, in France.

They say nothing of protecting the white women . in the south. The rascals, the murder ers, the house-burners, the robbers and the rapists must be protected in their villainy or the negroes "will know the reason why." t The New York Independent praises General Joe Wheeler's book on the Santiago campaign. Upon general principles after that we would say to the hero look out. Agnes Ldde, aged twelve, died from neglect at Darlington, S. C. She lived In a family of "faith curists" who did not cure. The case will be investi gated. Democrats in Kentucky are greatly divided. A house divided against it self can not stand. Abuse of each other runs violent. The lascivious and wanton W. C. P. Breckinridge, is down on Goebel, ' .the regular democratic nominee for govern or. And so is that very dead failure as a soldier and politician, Simon Buckner. Their opposition ought to unite the democrats. IIISTOUY USTATfiD The gold papers for the most part either do not understand the principles of the democratic party or they delib erately misrepresent them- The dem ocratic party is a bimetallic party and has been from the way back. The Washington Post is a republican, high tariff, gold only, expansion organ. It has grace enough to tell the truth when it says this: "It is quite in order at this time when efforts are being made to reunite the regulars and bolters of 1896, to re- study the history of "the great schism." It is not true that the eoinae-e nlank of the Chicago platform of 1896 was or The foundations of the buildings are is un-democratic. It is a fact that a ! being laid. The well,, .although not declaration for the gold standard would i forty feet deep, has an. output of flf have been un-democratic. Was the ! teen thousand gallons of water per fiat money plank of the democratic platform of 1868 undemocratic? Did it create schism? On the contrary, was it not accepted as the faith and policy of the party? Who, looking at that tenet of the democratic creed of 1868, will venture to assert that free coinage of silver, at the old ratio, was heresy in 1896? "For twenty years prior and up to 1896 the democratic party in all the re liably democfatic states had been stoutly contending for free coinage. On every possible occasion a majority of democrats in congress voted for free coinage." That Is historically true. In' the sev enties after the republicans had de monetized silver by the cunning trick in 1873, John Carlisle, now a goldbug of the Wall Street metalic kind, made his terrible speech of arraignment against the republicans and foretold just what would happen from the cruel blow aimed at the people. The democratic party -toia r. Kimnfn; - v. k i j . s ands for bimetalhsm-both foldjuxA silver. If its platform in 1900 should re- pudiate that financial principle it will go back upon its record for a quarter of a century In the congress and In its state and national . conventions. The Post says this, and it speaks words of soberness and truth: "Old issues are changing and new is sues are arising from year to year. Settled issues are dropped and new ones are taken up in national plat forms. The tribunal that decides what is democratic, what is republican, or what is populistic doctrine is the na tional convention. If, therefore,- the free coinage declaration of 1896 had oeen a new issue, instead of wen estab- lished democratic policy, a majority vote in the Chicago, convention would have sufficed to put it into the creed and make it democratic."
