Wednesday, April 183 - - 1900 THJC CAKPET BAG IX PUXKTOKICO It is natural for the people of the South to oppose bitterly the carpetbag gorarnaaest of Puerto Rico. They know wfcat the iniquity is, bat it i? not the South a;one that deuoane?8 the rale of the carpet-baggert. The Northi last and West are against it. TPhat could he stronger than this from the Philadelphia Record: . ' "Se gross in its iaiqaity is this civil government scheme that its advocates in the hocse dare not afford time and opportunity to its oppoaents to discuss its nrovisions. With the pretense of conferring on the people of Porto; Ricoalo?al legislature the bill can-, ningly deprives that body of every at-j tribute of legislative power. There is j not aa act of the so-called 'house of| delegates' that is not made subject to the veto ?f a carpet-bag executive) council. To this council is given ex- j elusive control of all legislation con- J eerning the grant of franchise* ana j pririleges on the island, whether of j railroads, telegraphs or waterworks.! An arbitrary minister of Charles II! would have been ashamed 'o send! over snch a charter for a New England colony as this Foraker bill for the; government of Porto Rico. Under Spanish rule Jthe Puertoriquenos had j at least representation in the c?rtez atj Madrid, and some voice in the management ttheir own affairs. Instead of this modicum of self-government the bill about to pass the house gives the "PnorfnrirtTjftnos an Sexecntive council of strangers, with power to despoil them oft'd8ir dearest franchises and privileges. The plea is made, however, that President McKinley in the mercifnl exercise of his power will so constitute the exeeative coancil of Porto Itieethat a majority of its members will be natives of the island. It comes to this, then?that the only defense of the Portoriqaenos against an arbitrary and iniqaitons aefc ?f congress is in the forbearance and moderation of the executive. President McKinley may or he may not resist the clamor . of his partisans for office and spoils in Porto Rico, and liG may or saay not refrain from patting a majority of carpet-baggers in control of the island throngh his exeentive eoaneil. Bat if he should give every seat in the executive council to a native of Porto Al-yv 1>*11 to o ?*rOQ t" UC Will nvim ouu uu ? iaiquity. As a means of patting Porto Rico unier control ?f & jantz. of strangers it is worse than any carpet-bag device for ruling the south1 era states during the gloony period of reconstruction." Another thing that has struck us is that so many norther papers now condemn "the carpet-bag device" whick was applied to the South in reconstruction days. North Carolina's Democratic C*avenfcion is said to kave been a very represeatative body, ana the ticket nominated is ceasidered a stroag one. The fight in North Caroliaa this year will be over an amendment to the constitution similar to the provision in the constitution of this State as to the . right of suffrage. The people of Nortb Carolina have twiee eadared negro supremacy, and they are determined to gaard against a repetition of it. The Charlotte Observer makes some wise suggestions to Democratic speak ers when it saye: Before the campaign opens we woald cantion Democratic speakers against unnecessary violence of deaunciation in their disenssion of the constitutional amendment. The white, people of North Carolina know the negro?he has no business in politics and is soon to get out; bn? he i?. not the worst possible laborer or citizen, and he is Bot a whit worse than he was before this proposition was made to disfranchise him. Ths presentation of exaggerated views #f his vices and deficiencies will net fool the white people among whom he lives, nor add anything to the strengh of the amendment, while it will not improre bis temper nor make a better man of him. He is ignorant and misjfnided?willingly misguided,, and fer the reason that he uniformly votes against the interest of the white man aad his own ha should not be permitted to rote at all; but it isn't worth while to paint k iina blacker than he is for every effective point is favor of the amendment ?and there are many??an be made within the boondary ?f truth and justice. It is enotgh tuat the black man hat no aae sense of his responsibility at a voter. That it nffieient reason for his disfranchisement withoat representing him as sack a monster as the white people amonjf whom he lives know him not to b?. The Observer is rifht. Tha nejro is sot so bad when left to hi.nself. It is when he is iifiaenced by mean white men that he becomes ia>_,;?rou8 and tarbnlent. Tse reports as to-the saccess of the railroad operators' strike are so con-; flicting that it is impossible to decide whether the strike is a siccess or not. Locally it ssems to be a failure. \Ve ! know nothing of the cauias Icadinj to the strike. Natnally people will.sym-' pathize with tho operators, but they I ahanld so conduct themselves as tr j deserve sympat'ay. The destruction of property will prejudice outsiders1 against the operators and the leaders amoag them should counsel against j this coarse. Arty mat dissatisfied with his job has the lawful right to quit, out he i&s aot the right to destroy bis employer's property. Wej hope that the differences will be ad- J justed. Strikes are new in the South.! It is painful to know that tbey are the seqaeaces of industrial development. Far ?ver Fifty Years. Mrs. Wixslow's Soothix?

MeMaater who is well known is Winnsboro: Oa the merning ef the 3rd of December abont li o'clock, A eompany, our advmm party, was fired en bf the insurrectors frem their mountain intrencbments. Bat the moment the firing: eoiaaanced, Lieat. McMas;er, under orders from Captain Batchelor, at onee deployed his company to the right and opened fire en the iisurrectos from the opposite hills, but finding their firs inefeetire from so great a distance, moved on dowa the gulch that was eorered with high grass, and fallen trees, reeentty felled by the enemy as an impediment, and on np the mountain occupied by the insurgents, and while under a galling fire charged their entrenehments, killiDg 6 and wounding 17, eecnring many roands of ammunition, riles, horses and prisoners. While H company, lead by Lieutenant McMaster, was working its way through the gulch to charge the enemy, A, F, and K companies kept up a deadly fire holding them in tteeir trenches, killing and woandiag many, whea they were forced to beat a retreat. All went well until the 7th when the battalion moved forward with H company in advaahe. Everything was in perfect order and the beys were itching for a ssrap. They did not h^vo loag to wait, for tke battalien had net been oa the march more than two hours when H eompany's advance gnard os nearing the hanks of the Rio Grande, preparatory to crossing the river and entering the city of Nsguilion, were fjreetsd with a volley of Remingtok and Mauser bullets, bat tke boys were equal te the emergen ly and in le?s than 3 minutes tke entire battalioa was deployed and pouriag volley after velley into the very trenches of the eceny. Tke irisurrectos knew it would certainly be a long range fight, as the river was at least 2 hundred yards wide aad unfordakle, and tkey held their strong stations behind eatrenchments. The boys made several sharges to the very water's edge bat were nnable to unlodge the enemy. After aboat2 hours fighting of this kind in whieh we had 3 atea wounded, Lieat iicMaatar called tor volunteers to swim the river with him, under a deadly fire, flank the enemy, drivs them from their trenches, when the battalioa would make short work ef them.

"Sizemore's family," it was stated in conclusion, "are in a aervous state, aad doctors are doing evervthiBg to farther heart actio*. No burial will tak* place uaiil the evidences of death have become unmistakable." There the story wads abruptly, and we are uaable to say, therefore, whether Mr. Sizemore is now alive or sot, as we have seen ao account of his subsequent experience or condition ia the Greenville papers. Whether he be aow living or dead, however, it is plain that he very narrowly escaped being buried alive, with all the horrible ineidenta of that fate, as itdieated in the 3Jew, Jersey case, aid the oie plaia and imperative lessoa of all such ocearrenees ehoald not loeger be disregarded by the people and lawmakers of the State. "No burial" should he allowed to "take plaee aatil the evidences of death have become anmistakahle" to lay persoa Of ordinary iatolligeaeo. "The doctors," it may be said with all the respect due to them, eaa make mistakes, as they made ia this case, in the case in the Ifew Jersey town, is. the ease reported a few weeks ago fr?m St. Leais, in the ease reported is Edgefield (Joanty, as we iemember, a few years ago, in the ease reported from Montgomery, Ala., aboat the sa*e tine, and in ?ot a few other cases which have beea reported im years past. It will be remembered that at lsast one such instant* has oscurred in Charleston. One of the Ramiavs, a relative of the wite of Henrv Laurens, the President of the Continental7 Congress, revived, as recorded, after having bee* "pronounced dead/' and ker narrow escape from beiag baried so impressed him that he forbade the interment of his hody after death, aad ordered it t? be burned iastead, which was done, affordisg the first example of cremation in this country.
