Iatl l*een prolonged by the ]-r«i(led people at home, who ‘.-"J!-!,!g]ag the Filipinos to billed, it continue their resistance. The ex treme to which they have gone is shown by the avidity with which they have swallowed the lies of the perjurers, who have carried their tales to Washington, where they knew they would find a ready .sale. The .spirit- that animates them was exemplified by a dispatch which my old friend, O. O. Steal- ey, sent to the Courier-Journal a few weeks ago. in which he said: “The Demociiatic members of the Senate Philippine Affaire Oom- are highly gratified at the evidence so far adduced at the committee hearings, as tending to confirm the charges of misconduct and cruelty ou the part of the army in the Philippines.” AVhat a contrast this suggests. Yonder are our hero boys, strng- Iing through tropical forests and jungles, wading through marehes and torrents, shaking with fever and ague, in constant peril from the treacherous bolomeu, and swel tering under the torrid sun, ever- pushing to the front, whether to restore order in the Philippines or to carry relief to our missionaries and citizens in China, the evan. ;els of liberty and enlightenment and the instruments of God, to open the way for His gospel, and for the enfranchisement of His creatures, who have so long dwelt in bondage and darkness. In AYashington, in a-marble pal ace, surrounded by every comfort and enjoying all.the luxuries that taxes paid by the people these heroes represent, sit the Democrat ic Senators, gloating and rejoiciug over evidence which Mr. Stealey will not go so far as to say proves, but merely as tendiug to confirm the charges of misconduct and cruelty7 on the part of the army in the Philippines.” AYhj7 should those who love theii country and honor its defen ders, vote for or with men auima ted by such a spirit ? The Demo cratic party is rapidly approach ing the condition of tne Whig par ty when it reached its period of dissolution, with the exception that the Whigs had become so sublimated and exalted in their views of government that they were no longer in touch with the peo ple, whilst the course of the Demo crats of late years has been the other way. The present Democratic organi zation is simply the front rank of populism, which in turn is sup ported by the more desperately earnest columns of socialism. Can it be gain said that the Democrafs are absolutely without an issue, which they are agreed is distinct ively their own i They have reach ed the brink of the stream ot pop ulism, and stand looking at the shadows which it reflects, but hesi tate to make the plunge, which they must do or retreat. The leaders know that they will be swallowed np if they go forward, but the masses of office-seekers be hind, intent only on getting votes and party victory, will not allow them to call a halt. In they must plunge, although they see that be yond lie the dark shadows and quicksands of socialism. In 1900 they fused with the populisls, who declared iu favor of free silver, “legal tender government paper money.’’ “the reservation of land as the inalienable heritage of the people.” the government owner ship of railroads, the'control of all subjects of the trusts by the peo ple, who shall act without-the in tervention of representatives, the abolition of the standing army, and municipal ownership of public pub lic utilities.

Scranton, Special.—The first of the series of strikers' mass-meetings plan ned to take place at the various strike centres, was held Friday in the round woods. There were 7,000 strikers pres ent from all parts of the city and the adjoining towns, some locals having been marched four miles to the meet ing, headed by a band or drum corps and carrying flags and banners. Na tional President John Mitchell and others delivered addresses. The crowd enthusiastically cheered all the speak ers and fairly went wild over Mitchell. When he was introduced to speak some one shouted, "Hats off!” and although the sun's rays beamed down so inten sely that many were carried from the crowd exhausted, every man in the vast assemblage bared his head and re mained uncovered until his speech was concluded. Then the crowd surged about the platform and shook his hand until he himself was almost exhausted. Mn. Mitchell's speech was brief and dealt only with the live issues of the fight. He said, In part: ilFrom the offices of the coal presi dents in New York comes the declara tion that the strike will be settled only in their own way of settling it. I would direct your attention to similar declarations made in the 1900 strike. The coal trust may be powerful and strong, but the Americans whose hearts throb, in sympathy with the miners’ ace right and the operators wrong. “I understand there is some dissatis faction and misunderstanding about the distribution of the relief fund. While we have not got millions, we have enough to see to it that no miner will starve during the continuance of the strike. (Loud cheers.) “The one among you who violates the law is the worst enemy you have. No one is more pleased than the oper ators to hear of disorder in the coal regions. I want our men to exercise their rights under the laws, but I want no man to transgress the ' law, The strike will be won. (Loud cheers). I have no more doubt of it than I have that I am standing addressing you. I want to impress on you the import ance of winning this strike. If -you win, which you will surely do, there will be no more strikers; there will be a basis of adjustment arrived at which will prevent strikes. “If you lose the strike, the operators wdll make you pay for their strike loss es by reducing youy wages. And, if you lose the strike, you lose your or ganization. I trust and hope and coR- stantly pray you wdll stand as you cfid in 1900.” (Cheers and Cries of “We will.”) Before; (he handshaking episode be gan, Chairman Phillips asked all who favojed a fight to a finish to raise their hands. Every hand went up. Will Wed Under Shadow Cf Callows.

He assaulted 'the woman and she summoned the police. As Pa trolman Donohue entered the house the negro shot and killed him. Devine was tried and convicted of the murder.

London, By Cable.—The latest and most reliable information indicates that King Edward’s doctors were not mistaken in fixing August as the date upon which His Majesty could be crowned. The sinister rumors which have prevaded all classes fBr the last few dflys Bow appear td haVe lost that semblance of probability whicfl made even the members of the cabinet ner- VOuS lest ahother pdstponement of the coronation might be necessitated. The apprehension that King Edward would be unable to stand the strain of the coronation ceremony has been greatly lessened by the announcement that His Majesty is now permitted to.use his feet and, with the aid of a stick, has done a- little walking.

Despite scattered showers about the 23rd, of the week; WBidn were heaviest in the west, drought now prevails over most of the State especially throughout the Piedmont Plateau and the Coastal region, and Crops ih many sections are suffering severely for lack of sufficient moisture. The week on that account was unfavorable for the best progress of crops, though otherwise weather conditions were nearly normal. THe mean temperature for the week was 76 degrees to 78 degrees; the days were quite warm, but without excessively high temperature, and the nights have been agreeably t'OSl; the amount of sunshine was abundant; The local rains on the 23rd were very beneficial where they occuri’ed, but tho only sta tion receiving an amount sufficient to thoroughly soak the soil was Char lotte; even where local showers fell crops are again needing rain badly There crib be ho question that crops hare deteribtefi rapidly ifl lfiany coun ties in the central-east portion of the State, while in the central-mountain section the staple crops aqe still in ex cellent cbnditio’ii: Upland and forward corn fias Sii Hi- ered most from dfbuglit; in many fields plants have fired up to the ears, and it appears impossible that the grain could fill out even with abund ant rainfall the cfimlflg Wddltj In many sections corn is still in very good con dition, lowland crops and late planted being very promising.

NO ACTIVE ERUPTION SINCE JUNE No Danger of Renewed Action Ap prehended, but People are Advised Against Haste in Going There, Fbrt-de-France, Island of Martinique —By Cable—Mr. T; A, Jaggar, of Har vard University, representing the Uni ted States Geological Survey In the West Indies, arrived for the second time at Fort-de-France on June 24 and has Slnde visited Mont Pelee twice. H e has aisd ffiflde excursions to the south ern end of Martiriiqufc arid to the warm springs of the interior of tfid island. Dr. Jaggar came directly from St. Vifl1 cent. As a result of recent examinations of the crater of Mont Pelee and explora tion of the track of the devastating blast which destroyed St. Pierre it ap pears that there is extraordinary sim ilarity bctWfieii the eruptions of the Soufriere volcano of St. ViBceflt and Mont Pelee. The products are the same, Both are characterized by the abseflfce flf lava and the work of de struction, both its inanimate objects and to mankind, was accomplished in much the same way. The destructive effects of the erup tion in Sti Vincent covered a much more extfcfisiVfc area, but the loss of human life was much less, There has been no active eruption of Sfont Pelee of importance since June 6. A great cone of boulders and volcanic bombs heaped within the fissure from which the explosion came has grown In size since the middle of May, Whfcii Mt, Jflggar first saw it. Occas ionally there flrfi suddeil slides of debris down this cone into the deep gorge of the Riviere Blanc. These slides produce great columns of brown dust which resemble smoke that rise in billows from the moun tain flank, and give the impression of an eruption when viewed from the sea. At flight these slidings of red hot rocks make a glowing streak in the mountain slope. T his' accounts for the many reports by passing ves sels of eruptions of hot lava and dust falls. The phenomenon ia merely a superficial one. As at St. Vincent, the many mud spouts, steam jets and local craters that have been reported as superficial have ceased by rainwater draining into them. .,The volcanoes of St. Vincent and MartlfiiqiiS were in eruption in sym pathy in May. Seth have gradually become less active since and it Is probable they will diminish in activity-, to judge by the present signs. In this opinion the French scientific commission, headed by Prof. Lacroix, of Paris, concurs.' Dr. Jaggar is stroilgiy Opposed, however to any re- habitation -of the devastated slopes of the volcanoes until the respective governments of the islands are wlll- ifig to establish permanent experi ment stations to protect and warn the inhabitants. Active Again. - Kingston, St. Vincent, By Cable.— The Seilfriere volcano has been slightly in eruptiefl twice since last Mondaj-. A severe earthquake shock, accompanied by a tidal wave, affect ed the northeast point of the island, wasiiifig 8 ilre-swept estate. No further damage Wfls done. Many peo ple, both of the wealthier classes and laborers, are leaving the island, fear ing disaster. The government is still feeding 6,900 persons. The settlement of refugees in huts on acquired lands Ib safe localities is progressing. Thfc Patiairifl cable repair ship Newington, Wiiifch In engaged in work IS miles north of St. Viflcoat, reports that the depth of , the sea there has increased to a mile and a quarter. At- MHiuts to pick up the cable have beeii M ile owing to unfavorable weather. Results of Paris Fight. Paris, By Cable.—Many persons in jured, ten of them seriously, and hun dreds arrested, are the net results of the street disturbances in which both clerical and anti-clerical denomina tions,-brought about by the closing of the unauthorized religious schools, were made. There were great crowds on the boulevards throughout the city, engaged in rioting. A procession of stu dents shouting and singing was dis persed by the police and attempted red flag demonstrations at the Strasburg status also were broken up. Quiet was restored at midnight. The religious es tablishments in more than one depart ment have dissolved voluntarily. Fissures Opened. Santa Barbara, Cal., Special.—Mea gre advices from Los Animas, 45 mile3 from this place, report that un un usually severe shock of earthquake oc curred about 11 o’clock Tuesday night, doing damage to the property of the Western Oil Company, estimated at from $12,000 to $15,000. At Harris sta tion on the railroad a fissue is reported to have opened and from it a stream of water two feet deep and 18 inches wide is now flowing. nine Foreman Shot. Pottsvillle, Pa., Special.—Daniel Lin- derman, foreman at the Kohinoor col liery, Shenandoah, was shot near his home by a crowd of strikers. His foce and shoulders are torn with buckshot, but it is thought he will recover. Albert Linderman was also chased and shot and four other non-union men badly beaten. Troops Ordered Out.

Shenadoahs Pa,, Special.—A reign of terror, compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots of 1900 seem insignificant, holds Shenandoah in its grasp Wednesday. Since 6 o’clock in the evening Centre street, which is one of the principal throughfares of the town has been im the hands of an infuriated' mob. Two of the borough policemen were shot, one perhaps fatally. Joseph Beddal was brutally clubbed to death, and upwards of a score of strikers wnose names at this writing could not anrfS>f!-aille'!’,Wf e shot by Policemen w-ii expected that many deaths wjii result. Sheriif Bedda1 arrived from Potts- Hlle at 7:46 o’clock with a posse of deputies. He had taken up his head quarters at the Ferguson Hotel. To an Associated Press reporter he admitted that he had asked Governor Stone to send the militia. The Governor wired that if the citizens of the town petition for troops he will send them and a pe tition Is being circulated for that purpose now. The trouble started about 6 o’clock Wednesday evening when Deputy Sher iff Thos. Beddal attempted to escort two non-union workers through the s.rikers line of pickets. The workmen were dressed in their street clothes, but one of them carried a buundle under his arm and this aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him and when it was found to contain a blouse and overalls the man was taken from the deputy and beaten almost to death. In the meantime Bed- ual opened fire on the mob, which had gathered by this time and emptied his revolver. Two of the shots took effect, one man being shot In the leg and the other in the foot. The deputy and the other man were compelled to run. They ran to the depot, but the building was surrounded by an angry mob of 5,009. wh-.h was becoming more threatening and demonstrative every moment. Joseph Beddal a hardware merchant and brother of the deputy sheriff, was seen making his way through the crowd iu an effort to reach his brother, and the mob divining that he was car rying ammunition to those inside the depot, seized him and beat him with clubs and billies into insensibility. He died en route to the Miners’ Hospital. Shortly after this the entire borough police force arrived on the scene and escorted the deputy sheriff and his man to an engine which Jiad been backed into the depot for that purpose. When the mob realized that their prey was about to escape they surrounded the en gine and the engineer was afraid to move. In a few moments, however, the police fired a volley, dispersing the crowd for a brief period and the en gineer turned on full steam and got away with his men. Stones were now thrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chief John Fry gave the order to fire. At the first voliey the mob fell back, and several were seen to fail. Their retreat, howev er, was but momentary. They turned and with revolvers, stones and oven a few shot-guns they charged on the little-band of policemen and made them fly for their lives. The policemen turn ed in their flight at short intervals and fired volley after vplley at their merci less pursuers, but the mob seemed thor oughly infuriated and smoking revol vers seemed to have no terror for them. Vv h on the Lehigh Railroad cross ing was reached a passenger freight train blocked the progress of the men, two of whom were caught and brutally Ivv; ;i. One of them, Stiney Yacopsky, will die. It is estimated that upwards of one thousand shots were fired and the won der is that more fatalities did not re sult. More than 20 strikers, all of whom were foreigners, were shot and at least two of them will die. Many of the mer chants and politicians are refusuing to sign the call for troops, fearing that the miners will boycott them after the trouble is over, and as the Governor has refused to send troops unless a pe tition is sent. At 11 o’clock tonight the streets are still crowded with people, but everything is quiet.The doctors of the town dressed the wounds of nearly 49 strikers, all Oi whom were miners whose names could not be ascertained. It is said at midnight that four out of the six police men were shot. Chief Frye received a slight wound in the hand; Yacoboski was wounded in the head and may die; Rlngheiser was shot in the hand and back, not serious; Larites was shot in several places and cannot recover. The following printed notice was posted by the Mine Workers over town tonight: “In view of the disturbances that have occurred in Shenandoah within the past 24 hours in utter disregard to the teachings and principles of the United Mine Workers as an organiza tion and contrary to the explicit in structions of the leaders, we call upon ail members of the United Mine Work ers to do all in their power to suppress lawlessness and to aid the officers in every way to maintain peace and good order. • • “JOHN FAIIY, Pres.,District 9,” Non-Union Hiners Beaten. Shanjokin, Pa., Special.—Hundreds of strikers lined the roads leading to different colliers and prevented the non-union men from going to work. John Shipman and son, non-union men were brutally beaten. Strike leaders are busily engaged in trying to calm the strikers who have grown more restless. President Mitchell will visit here as soon as possible to address the men in an endeavdr to keep them from breaking the law and also to urge them to remain away from the mines. So. 31. Citizens Asked to Aid. Mt.

Another alleged imperfection is that it is or was very dark near the church where the mem- bers .of the choir are expected to take their carriages. In this instance it is furthermore alleged that the driver was either intoxicated, numb from the cold or in a general way irresponsible, At all events, the horses, had grown very reBtless whether or not from ex posure and while Judge Jones was iu the act of entering tlie carriage the animals leaped forward, throwing the unfortunate man under the wheels. A great gash was cut about the scalp and he was otherwise so seriously injured that for weeks it appeared un certain whether he would survive. For several months he was incapacitated for the performance of any duties in cident to the legal profession. Killing at Marshall. Marshall, Special.—Marshall has had anothed shooting affair and this time' it if fatal as usual. Four pistol shots in rapid succession were heard this evening about 7 o’clock and when the populace realized what had hap pened they found that Belt Jackson, a hegro youth of about 29 years, had been shot to death by Van Hender son, a prominent and well known young man about town. No one saw the beginning of the affair and as the negro is dead and Mr. Henderson has made no statement as to the cause of the shooting, nothing definite can be learned. The only in formation your correspondent could obtain from any source was to the effect that early- in the day the negro had used vile language towards Mr. Henderson and upon being question ed later about it said he did-not ad dress his remarks to Henderson and in no wise meant him. A few hours later when Henderson was coming down the street and just in front of Lawyer Mashbhrn’s office he again met the negro. No one knows what passed between them or saw what oc curred and the first intimation of the tragedy was the rapid firing of a pis tol. Four shots were fired by Hender son, three taking effect, all in the side near the heart. Death resulted almost instantly. Belt Jackson, the dead negro, lias borne a very unsavory reputation and has been on the chain gang a term or two or deadly assault and was con sidered a dangerous and impudent man. Young Henderson has always stood well In the community and is well liked. He is the son of the pres ent county jailer and has acted as deputy sherff at different times. There is quite a lot of excitement over the affair owing to-the prominence of Mr. Henderson. Mr. Henderson sur rendered to City Marshal John Barns and made the remark that “he was sorry, but he had to do it.” The weapon used was a 32 Smith & Wes son, which is now in the hands of the sheriff.

Fre- diets ICepablican Saccess This Year and Furnishes Good Keasons For Let* tins Well Enough Atone, One of the clearest and most sensible discussions of current poUtical condi tions is that of Congressman Hopkins of Illinois, who has just expressed him self In an interview at Washington. Congressman Hopkins, it will be re membered, is the gentleman who re cently received the indorsement of the IUinois Republican State convention as a candidate for the United States Sen ate to succeed the Hon. William E. Mason, Congressman Hopkins has spent much time in canvassing his home State, and the views expressed by him are based on what he has learned through personal contact with the voters of a great Commonvvealth, in which the Republicans represent the dominant party, but reflect a knowl edge and experience in politics cover ing a wide range of years. Congressman Hopkins has not the slightest doubt as to the success of the Republican party in the coming Con gressional campaigu. He predicts an increase of at least six Cougressmeu iu his own State—three additional ones wliich will be named os a result of the new apportionment—and three districts now represented by Democrats. He predicts that Republicans will carry tlie State by from 75,000 to 100,000 majority. The basis. 0? these convictions is the general satisfaction among the masses of tlie people with present political and industrial conditions. There is no general demand for tariff revision. Tlie farmers are prosperous. They are be ing jiaid high prices for their cattle, sheoji and hogs. Present croji condi tions are satisfactory, and the outlook is bright. The basic element of the prosperity of the entire country being the success of the agricultural classes, commerce and trade feel the good ef fect, and there is a general feeling of repugnance to the idea of entering ujion any crusade for the readjustment of tariff schedules—something which could not fail to disturb the present satisfactory commercial and industrial conditions. Congressman Hopkins refers to the plea of justification for tariff revision which is being advanced in certain quarters to the effect that certain classes of American goods are sold abroad cheajier than they are sold iu this country. He declares that it is no argument whatever against the Ameri can policy of protection, or a valid rea son in itself for the changing of any existing schedule. Free trade England sells its products abroad cheaper than it does at home. It has always done so. England pursues this policy so as to create new markets, and when it has made a market for its goods then prices are raised to make up the losses on previous sales. Complaints are con stantly being made because iron and steel products have been sold cheaper abroad than in this country. Sales at cost are made because of the surplus of these goods. If this be true, this question is asked: “Is it not better to seli these goods in foreign markets at a lower price and furnish employ ment to more American laborers than to give up the market and reduce the force in our factories?” Congressman Hopkins further illustrates his position as follows: “Suppose in the iron in dustry there should be a domestic demand for the product of 60,000 men and the mills employed 100,000. Would it not be better to continue the 100,000 men on tlie pay rolls and sell the sur plus abroad at cost or below cost than to discharge 40,000 men and not fill the foreign order? By giving employ ment to the extra 40,000 men they are furnished with funds with which.to purchase the necessaries of Ufe for themselves and famiUes, and at the same time to buy the products of the farmers and those engaged in other branches of commerce.”—Des Moines CapitaL - It Happened Before, and might Again. .<S an lon.-i"«|V~ IiKCH AU Kobertson, Democrat, Louisiana. Sir. Robertson, Democrat of Louisi ana, is rapidly earning the enmity of every free trader, and especially the bitter, hatred of Pitchfork Tillman, the sworn foe of business men and tbeii employes. Congressman Robertson proposed to expend $2,500,000 for the imiirovement of the harbor of Havana to relieve Cuba by furnishing work fof all who might need employment This, he thinks, would be far better than lowering the duties and turning out of work tens of thousands of American laborers unless they submit to a serious cut-down. Such protection sentiments from Louisiana, if uttered in the pres ence of Shotgun Tillman, would have called forth the dramatic cry of “Rene gade: Ter-a-a-l-tor!” At a recent session of the German Reichstag an absent-minded member, Herr Wichmann, created no little amusement. He was calling the roll, and upon reaching his own name he paused for a response. ' Naturally none ca,me. Then he called the name more loudly, waited a few seconds and roared it out . at the top of his voice. The laughter of his colleagues final ly aroused him to a sense of the lu dicrousness of his act, and he joined In the general hilarity. THE BOURBON BOOMERANG; What Would Happen to Wage Earners If the TarlffWall Were FnUed Sown. The New York World asserts that “Congress could in a single day raise the wages or raise the purchasing power of the wages, which is quite as wall, of every workingman in the United States by lowering the tariff wall behind the Beef Trust, the Sugar Trust, the Coal Trust, the Steel Trust and the rest that make their gains by charging what the tariff will bear.” The workingmen of this country have Sad one bitter experience in the direc tion named, and they have found that “lowering the tariff wall” has had the effect of not only decreasing wages, but of throwing 2,000,600 American workingmen into enforced idleness, -with no wages at alii. The throwing open of ouf markets to the products of the pauper labor of Europe has proved the greatest infliction ever suf fered by’the working classes of this country. Free beef cattle from Mexico would not benefit the herders and thou sands of other men employed on the rattle ranges and railways of the West. Free coal would not increase the wages of the miners—but, as has been shown in tlie past, would throw thousands of the miners out of employment and re duce the wages of those who remained at work. To reduce the tariff wall for the ben efit of American workingmen would bo the greatest mistake ever made in this or any other country. Under free trade or tariff for revenue only according to the Wilson-Gorman law, but few miners were employed in the coal mines of Washington. Since the im position of a duty of forty cents a ton on foreign coal the number of men em ployed In the Washington mines has been more than doubled, and wages have been largely increased. The same conditions obtain in the lumber indus tries of the coast, more than double the men being cmjiloyed at larger wages now than under the Wilson law. It is not necessary to pull down the tariff wall for the benefit of American workingmen and to protect them from the trusts. Admitting for the sake of argument that the country is honey combed with trusts, it must also be ad mitted that never in our history were there so many workingmen employed In this country as now, and that wages are higher than ever before. It is true that the cost of living is higher than in former years, but it is equally true that wages have advanced in every line of industry. In inany cases these advances in wages have been made vol untarily by the emiiloyers, without re quest from their employes. Within the last week the 20,000 employes of the Continental Tobacco Company— which is called a trust—have been noti fied that they would be given an ad vance of ten per cent, in their wages, owing to the increased cost of living. This increase will amount to a million and a half doUars a year to the work ingmen, and a consequent reduction of dividends to the stockholders. Many other corporations have made similar voluntary advances. If the tariff wall were pulled down and the products of the Old World allowed to come in free of duty, tnstead of advances in wages there would be stagnation and closing down of manufacturing establish ments, as in the disastrous times of the Cleveland administration, and the earning power of the American work ingmen reduced by idleness and lower wages. It might be that some com modities would be cheaper, but what figure would that cut with working men who were idle and had nothing with which to purchase at any price?— Helena (Mont.) Record. THE OLD FRElE TRADE HOWL. Democrats Are FijrIiting FrotectioDt Not the Trusts. Democratic clamor about the trusts has quickly worked around to the old proposition that the establishment of free trade is the only way to battle against business monopolies. The Re public, alarmed by the Federal move ment against trusts, remarks that “the first and aU-important step in the pop ular movement to restrict the trust evil is an amendment of the protective tariff that shall destroy the monopolies guarded by prohibitive duties.” In groping for an issue for 1904 the Demo cratic press, for the moment at least, has gone back to its old free trade wail, and will push it long enough to measure the iiublic response. Their doctrine pn this point rests on nothing tangible, but they fancy Republicans can be divided on the tariff and the old hue and cry is renewed. Plenty of trusts exist in England, which is more of a free trade country than any other in the world, though it has recently found it advisable to relax its Cobden principles. Not many years ago the Democratic party had control of all branches of the Government and passed a tariff mon strosity that brought widespread disas ter upon the American business world, yet did not check in the slightest de gree the movement toward trust or ganizations. The new Steamship Trust, which gives England so much concern, has no connection whatever with the tariff question in this or any other Country. A majority of the capital in the deal is American, but tile cus toms regulations of the United States and of England are a matter of indif ference to the men who are exploiting the combination. “The most rgsultful anti-trust action,” continues the Re public, “is a vote for the Democratic candidates in the approaching Congres sional and Presidential elections.” This advice is funny In view of the basis on which it is offered. But the Demo cratic party has no Issue, and the re turn to the old free trade howl is the last resource of the party that is al most out of hope as well as entirely out of principles. If the trusts are not re strained until this country risks an other Democratic tariff, they have a clear course ahead.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat.

THE OHBfSTIAN ADVOCATE ON TH E NEGBO QUESTION. “ In view of the recent letters of Senator Simmons relating to theal IegedplotoftheK epublican pai- ty to undo the constitutional amendment— letters, by the waj=, which seemed to fall flat—the pub lic were anxious to hear the Sena- tor’s pronouncement on this ques tion in his speech hefoie the con vention. The Senator in his re m arks said: wNVe don’t want an other so-called negro campaign in North Carolina. If our adversa ries will accept the amendment in good faith, we will not- have an other.” NVe were told in 1899 by learned jnrist and by Senator Sim mons himself that in voting for the amendment we were voting for that, which conld not possibly be overturned by 1Hiny conrts. Is not this fact of 1899 a fact now I Then how are we to understand the im plied threat that unless the Ee- pnbliean party avows its inten tion to ret'raiu from attacking the amendment, the negro question will again be brought to the front I Even if the Bepublican party should fail to give the promise de manded, is it not as certain, now as it was represented in 1899 that the amendment is perfectly safe. No, there are thousands of white men throngeout the State who are determined to vote hereafter for men and principles rather than by the color line, and the fact might as well be known. They will not have the negro question thrust on them again.” We, in substunced took the same position in part on this ques tion some, tin/e ago, to wit: That if it was constitutional as alleged by Boss Simmons and his big crowd of the best lawyers in the State; in 1900, why raise a hue and cry now. The trouble with our Democratic friends is this, if you take the negro out, they are at sea, hopelessly.. But we are go ing to talk about other thingst his year whether or no. CEBT ATNLY THEY "WILL, Look out for fraudulent elections in the black belt this j=ear. The machine’s only chance to eseape defeat is to register the illiterate negroes of ihe eastern counties and count their votes against the white west. They have the election ma chinery in their hands and can do it and their record shows that they are capable of it. Theuegro will only be disfranchised when his vote cannot be used to swell the majority for the machine ticket. Au hnoest election in the negro counties under the provision of the amendment would reduce the vote to less than fifty per cent.—Ashe ville Begister. The bankrupting of the State treasury, and the rumbling of dis content among the masses with Demociatic machine rule, and their determination to cast off boss- ism, afforded Boss Simmons ample material for discovering a conspir acy hatched in the Simmons per petual automatic incubator, m anu factured and kept in stock by the eastern Oligarchy=, who expected anything else. Democracy’s lead ers are continually incubating new ideas aud schemes with which io deceive and mislead the people, The paramount issue with them, is the offices and the emoluments thereof. If the offices were abol-C ishcd the incubatiug machines would soon perish of dry rot, and the eastern statesmen would per ish from off the Earth, and the in cubating machines would vanish with them. Are the people of the NVest going to continue to be mis lead and deceived by these perpet ual nigger howlers? NVill they continue to bear the burdens of, taxation in order to keep the wise seers Irom the East in office I NVill they everlastingly submit to the jerrymander of the NVestern dis tricts is order to keep them in power in the legislature, and the State. Halifax county had more votes in the recent State Conven tion than did the nine white coun ties of Mitchell, Madison, Olay. Henderson, Transylvania, Gra ham, Swaim, NVautauga and Folk. These nine white counties of the west cast 43 vote3 in the Demo cratic State convention at Greens boro, while Halifax w ith 2S80 white and 4394 negro voters cast 44 votes, now let’s make a more striking comparison, Halifax has 28S0 whites of voting age and 43- 94 negroes of voting age, a,total of 7274 persons of voting age, the nine white western oouuties men tioned have 15684 white persons of votiug age, and 1072 negroes of voting age, a total of 16756. j=et Halifax has more strength in the State convention. than have the nine white counties of the W est. The 15684 whites of these white western counties have not as much power in the State convention as have the 28S0 whites of the one county of Halifax county with its large negro population.

HIS BARING ESCAPE AND FLIGHT Surrounded By Citizens and Officers, He Shoots Himself to Death While < Hiding In W heat Field. Spohane, Wash., Special.—Harry Tracey, the notorious outlaw, who with David Merrill, escaped from the Oregon penitentiary at SeIma on June 9, after killing three prison guards, killed himsolf earljr Wednesday morn ing after being wounded by a rifle by a fjarty in pursuit. Tracey was surrounded in a wheat field near Fellows, a station on the “Washington Central Railroad, about 5 miles west of Spokane Tuesday night. Word was sent back to Daven port, the county seat, and a large number of armed men liurried to the scene. The posse under Sheriff Gard ner opened fire on the outlaw and one bullet pierced his right leg between the knee anu thigh. About twenty minutes after being wounded he shot liimself with one of his revolvers and his body was found after daybreak. The revolver with which he killed himself was grasped tightly in his right hand. After baffling the officers of two States, after a wonderful flight of- nearly 400 miles across Oregon and Washington. Tracey was hunted down by four citizens of the little fanning town of Creston and a lone deputy sheriff. Sheriif Gardner and posse ar rived in time to guard the wheat field through the night, but the work had already been done. The posse who will share the re ward was made up as follows: C. A. Stroud, deputy sheriff; Br. F. C. Lan- ter, Maurice Smith, attorney; J. J. Morrison, railway section foreman, and Frank Lillfehgen. These men, armed to the teeth, set out from Preston Tuesday afternoon about 2 o’clock. They were working on the informa tion of a young man who had been forcibly made the companion of the Oregon convict for ovier 24 hours at the ranch of L. B. Eddy, on Lalle creek, about three miles south from Fellows, a station on the Washing ton Central Railroad. The men made all possible haste in getting to the ranch. When within a few hundred yards of the farm they encountered Farmer Eddy mowing in one of his fields. While engaging him in conver sation, they saw a man coming from the barn. 4Ts that Tracey?” asked one of the party. “It surely is,” nsplied Eddy. The party separated later, Smith accompanying Sddy in the direction of the barn, while the other two men swung around to the other side. Two of them stopped behind the barn on a slight eminence from which they could watch everything that went oa and Eddy continued on up to the door. Tracey came from the barn again and began helping his host un hitch the horses. He carried no rifle, though he had his revolvers in place. The. fugitive finally saw the men carry rifles and turned sharply to Eddy and said: “Who are these men?” 44I don’t see any men,” said Eddy.Tracey pointed out the two men on the hill. Eddy informed his compan ion who the men were and the outlaw made a^Ieap for the barn doer. The pursuers stepped a bit closer, com- mandiug, 4Tlold up your hands.” The outlaw jumped behind Eddy and first placed the farmer, then bis horse, between himself and the pur suers. He commanded the farmer to lead his horse to the barn and re main under cover, moving toward shelter. He quickly re-appeared, rifle in band, and started on a dead run. Turning on the two men nearest him, the desperado fired two shots but without his usual luck, neither bullet taking effect. Without waiting for further fighting Tracey made a dash down the valley leading south from Tie bam and headed for the brush. In an instant the inan-hunters were off in pursuit, firing as they ran. Com ing to a rock, Traeey dived behind it and resting his gun on the rock, be gan a fiisilade. Many shots were fired by the outlaw, but not oae hitting its mark. Seeing he was not succeeding, he bolted for a wheat field close by. At the edge of the field he stumbled, falling on his face, and crawled into thp grain on bis hands and knees. It was growing dark and the pur suers not daring to move in closer, decided to surround the place and wait for daylight. In the meantime Sheriff Gardner, with Policemen Stauffer and Gemnierimt of Spokane; Jake OrFar- rell, of Davenport, and other re-en forcements had arrived on rue scene, and they went into camp around the field during the night. Shortly after Tracey disappeared a shot was heard from the direction of tbs wheat field. No investigation was made, however, until morning. As soon as dawn came an entrance was made into the wheat field. The out law’s body was found lying amid the grain with his face turned toward the sky, his left baud, thrown over his head, held a revolver which had in flicted the death wound. His finger was'on the trigger. His right hand thrown across the lower part of his body firmly grasped the barrel of his famous rifle. Death was inflicted by a revolver held dost- to the forehead. The top of his head was shattered. Two bullet wounds on the left leg showed the cause of the man’s des pondency. One shot had broken the leg between the ankle and knee. It is believed that belli these wounds were received .after the convict left the barn and made his break for the wheat field. The fugitive had taken a strap and buckled it around his leg tightly to stop the bleeding. Despite the tightly fastened strap the bleeding continued until he probably realized his hopeless condition and ended the struggle. He was dressed in blue overalls. a vhite shirt and wore no coat or vest; be wore a bicycle cap and rough shoes He had one rifle and two re- . volvers. Rebellion Ended. Washington, SpecIaL-Gaptain Mc- Crea, of the gun-Boat Machiasj cabled the* Nayy Department that the out break in Hayti is practically over. The cablegram, which is dated Cape Hay- tien, August 4, is as follows: 44After in terviewing the authorities, the aspect of- affairs appears more satisfactory • fc^here is little enthusiasm and no fur- j^drm ger of serious disturbances.” ^cCrea asks premission to go iLfor coal.

Baltimore, Special.—The Manufactur ers’ Record Jias made a critical analy sis of the census bulletins, which en ables it to make for the flrst time an exact statement of the development of the agricultural interests of the South In connection with a review of the in dustrial advance of the section. This shows*that the South is now a $3,000,- 000,000 section, the value of its agri cultural and manufactural products now annually aggregating nearly that sum. Between 1880 and 1900 the total value of Southern agricultural, manufactured and mineral products increased from $1,134,686,228 to $2,844,646,440, or 157 per cent, while during the same period the increase 61 population was 44 per cent. During that period the capital in vested in manufactures increased from $257,244,564, as the total of 1880, to $1,- 153,002,368 in 1900, a gain of $895,757,- 804, or 348 per cent. In the same time the value of manufactured products in creased from $457,454,777 in 1880 to $1,- 463,643,177 in 1900, a gain of $1,206,- 188,400, or 220 per cent. In agriculture the value of farm property in the South increased from $2,290,364,321 in 1880 to $3,951,631,632, a gain of $1,661,- 267,311, or 72 per cent., while the value of farm products increased from $660,- 131,452 to $1,271,654,273, a gain Sf $811,- 522,821, or 92 per cent. In the Seutii the greatest actual in crease in manufacturing capital was $104,404,876 in Maryland, Louisiana being second with $101,621,826, Texas third with $81,188,321, Virginia fourth with $76,701,998, Georgia ilfth with $69,- 177,246, North Carolina sixth with $63,- 458,255, and Albama seventh with $60,- 702,073. In agricultural advance Texas leads with an increase in the value of form property of $706,391,909, while Louisiana was second with a gain of $121,756,359, Kentucky third with $112,- 342,024, Georgia fourth with $85,216,- 329, Mississippi fifth with $82,204,759, Arkansas sixth with $82,056,424, and Tennessee seventh with $81,745,855. The rate of increase in the capital in vested in manufactures. ill the South during the fwetity years from 1880 to 1900 was 348 per cent, while during the same period the rate of increase for the United States waS 252 per cent., and in the value of products the rate of in crease iU the South was 220 per cent., whereas the rate of increase for the United States was 142 per cent. Thus, both in the capital invested and in tho value of products the rate of increase in manufacturing In the South was much greater than that of the country at large, notwithstanding the enormous expansion of the industrial interests of the United States during the twB de cades under review-. During the same twenty-year period the value of farm property in the South showed a gain of 92 per cent, while the total gain of the farm prop erty of the United States was 67 per cent., the valUe of farm products for the South showing an increase of 92 per cent., compared with a gain for the country at large of 113 per cent. In studying these figures which show the very remarkable advance of the South as compared with the entire country, (the only point in them in which the South did not more than keep step with the growth of the coun try being in tho value of farm pro ducts), we should take into considera tion the complete wreck and ruin of the South by the war and its subsequent poverty, leading if of rfecessity when it was able to resume farming Operations to devote itself almost exclusively to the one-crop idea and also the demora lization of much of its labor element, creating at the same time in other parts of the country misapprehensions regarding the opportunities In South ern agriculture. Thus, starting under these adverse conditions, with a dis organized labor system, with poverty almost beyond our ability to compre hend, and without any of the advan tages of the enormous immigration which has poured into the far West many millions of farmers, the South has been able to more than hold its own, both in industrial and agricul tural advancements with the growth of the United States, No greater tribute to the inherent strength Of the South’s natural advantage? and of the ability of its people to master the overwhelm ing-difficulties could be given. The Vvorld has no record of greater achiev- ment. • One interesting phase of the condi tions now prevailing is that in 1880 the valge of farm products exceeded the value of manufactured products in the South by more than $200,000,000, while in 1900 the value Qi manufactured pro ducts exceeded the value of farm pro ducts by more than $190,000,000. Dur- ring that same period the number of persons engaged in agriculture in the South increased 36 per cent., while the number of wage earners in manufactur ing increased 157 per cent.,-both rates of increase in the- South being greater than the rates in the country at large. In this industrial upbuilding the South is to find full fruition of its agricultu ral potentialities. The development of manufacturers, creating quick, steady and remunerative markets for the di versified products of agriculture, will give to the farmers of the South advan tages which they have never before Dr. Sledd Resigns. Atlanta, Special.—Dr. Andrew Sledd, professor of Latin in Elmory College, which is located in Oxford, near At lanta, has tendered his resignation. Dr. Sledd’s retirement from the facul ty is said to be resultant upon adverse criticisms made of the professor on ac count of an article by him printed in The Atlantic Monthly , in whcih he made certain Statements with reference to the negro question, which have been construed as attacks upon the South and its treatment of the colored man.

Atlanta, Special—The negro young people’s Congress that met here Wed nesday is largely attended and full of interest The activities of the day began with sunrise prayer meetings, at which the general subject of the conversion of the world was considered. At the regular morning session of the conference, ad dresses upon the general theme of moral and social reform were deliver ed by Mary Lynch, of Salisbury, N. C.; Rev. G. L. Blackwell, of Philadelphia; Rev. J. A. Bray, of Athens, Ga., and Rev. Revery C. Ransom, of Chicago. R. E. Jones, of New Orleans, declared that the time had come when it was not fpr the white man to decide the policy of this country, but for the negro. “If the white man won’t help us, we will make him. It is no longer for the white man to say. It is for the negro to say, and say he will.. If the white man does not extend to us the helping hand, we will force him to do it.’’ Jones also declared in bittor tones that the negro in the South was not given a fair chance and that he must make for himself his position among the people. Rev. J. A. Bray, of Athens, Ga., in his speech on the good of secret socie ties among the negro race said that, if the white man would Cd-Operate with, tho negro in lawfully executing crimi nals and hunting them down, the negro would go to the very mouth of hell to protect the women of this country. The civic and material status of the race was the subject touched upon at the night session. HiIitia Hade a Charge. Shenandoah, Pa., Special.—A pla toon of the Governor’s troops of cav alry went to Turkey Run Hill on an errand of mercy and rescued a small family from violence of the neighbors. There had been petty acts of violence reported from that territory nearly every day for a Week, Brigadier Gen eral Gobin received a pathetic lotter from the wife of a non-union workman who is employed in the Giberton colli ery of the Philadelphia and Reading Goal and Iron Company, in which she tells of tho treatment accorded her by strikers in that vicinity. Among other things she said rocks had been thrown through the windows at night, one of them nearly striking her sleeping child; the house was damaged and while she was out doors one night a shot was fired at her. The WOman also said crowds gath ered around the house, hooted and jeered her and the children and hung crape on the door. Her husband, she concluded, was complied to stay in the mine in order to earn money to keep them from starving and as he could not leave his work she asked the com manding officer of the troops to pro tect her. Turkey Run Hill has no po lice protection. and General Gobin de cided to help the women. He learned that she was not in the best of health and it was decided that she had better be taken from the place to the Potts- ville Hospital. To carry this out the general ordered a platoon of cavalry to make a demonstration in that section and While there to escort the woman and child to the failrbdd station. This was done. The troops rode ali over the terri tory ahd fbund that the population, which is made up of foreigners, was not in the best frame of mind. The sol diers were hooted and jeered and called uncomplimentary names. Only one stone was thrown at the horsemen and this was done by some one in a crowd on a high ridge out of reach of the soldiers, The cavalrymen stopped their hdrseS and the crowd scattered instantly.

An IIaIiau Miner Gets Severely Pun ished. A DISTURBANCE AT GIRARDSVILLE Two Soldiers Chased By a Party of Strikers- on the Outskirts of Town Fled to Place of Safety. Shenandoah, Pa., Special.—There were many rumors flying around the regions of. trouble in the camp and various parts of the region. The only disturbance that occurred, however, was at Girardviile, six miies frdifl here, where a workman coming from the Girard washery, operated by W. R. McTurk & Co., was shot in the leg and slightly injured. The injured man is James Caparell, an Italian. He had been engaged at work which had been forbidden by the union and had been warned several times to quit. Tuesday morning on his way he was met on the road by half a dozen un known men, who began to beat him. Caparell ran and as he did so one of the men fired at him. Some of the buckshot hit Jiim In the leg. He man aged to walk to a physician's office and after having the .shot extracted from his leg he walked to the Lehigh Valley Railroad station and boarded a train for Hazleton. Burgess Jones is investigating the assault. Report was made to headquarters that three members of Company I, of the Twelfth Regiment, were chased by a crowd of men Tuesday night on the outskirts of the town and that the soldiers had sought refuge in the house of ’Squire McGuinns, at Frack- ville. The militiamen met the ’squire and he took them to his home and kept them there until Wednesday, when they returned to camp. Briga dier General Gobin in the meantime heard of the incident and sent the cavalry over to Frackville, but be fore the troops reached there the three men had returned to camp. Gen eral Gobin said the three soldiers will be court-martialed; Burgess Brown, President of Council David R. Jones, and Chief of Police John Fry held a conference with Gen eral Gobin and confessed .their in ability to cope with the situation as it exists in the southern section of Shenandoah. The Cambridge colliery, owned by Mr.. Jones and ’Squire Mc- Guinn, is located there. The borough officials told the general that men gather in that part of the town and molest every person, not excepting the women, that happens along. Men, they sajd, can no longer work there in safety. The burgess said that one man in this crowd had boasted that their object was murder if they call find the man they are seekinp. Threats are openly made and the officials re quested that troops be sent there; General Gobin consented to station two companies of infantry in that lo cality and. on the road leading to Turkey Run hill. Two injured Lithuanians, who were in the riots of last week, were ar rested. The constable located them and asked the military officials for protection while the arrests were made. The two prisoners, who sus tained wounds in the fetet, were hoard ing in the foreign quarter of the town. A detachment of the Fourth Regiment surrounded the house and the men were placed in a wagon. Soldiers then formed a cordon around the vehicle and escorted it through the streets to the office Of ’Squire Shoemaker, who committed the men. to FdttsyiIie jail.. Two miners were heid ih $2,000 bali each on various charges in connection with the riot. After the hearihg they were taken In a carriage surrounded by a company of soldiers to the Pen nsylvania Railroad station. The journey to the station was made on a run through the foreign settlement. At the depot Company K, of the Fourth Regiment, was lined up in charge- bayonet formation. On the bluff over looking the station there were more than 1,000 strikers, The crowd was kept at a distance and the men Were soon on their way to the RottSville jaii; Nine Men Hdrt Columbia, S.

Judge Beale pronounced sentence of death and fixed Tuesday, September 9, as the day of execution. The prisoner was turnd over to.-Capt. Bowe of the militia, and will be taken back to Alexandria* Va., for safe keeping.- Noted Scientist Warns People to Get Away From Mount Pelee, Fort-de-Frattce, Island of Martinique, By Cable.—Ih an interview With a rep resentative of the Assofiiatdd Press, Prof; Jaggers, Jr., assistant geologist to the United State! GSbldgical Survey, who has been investigating volcanic conditions in the West Indies, said. I have been fortunate in seeing a real eruption before I go, and the eruption of July 9, seems to have been a very characteristic one. Mont Pelee has im pressed men as being more venomous- looking than St. Soufriere,. of St. Vin cent. The question has been constantly asked me; ‘Do you not think it is fin ished now; is the danger not over?’ I have always answered S ’The mountain at this time appears calm, and the dust columns that ooze from time to time are largely due to landslides from the crater into the head of Rovers Blanche. The last eruption was to be expected. We may expect many more before so hot and vigorous a steam engine as Mount Pelee comes to rest.’ “A diagnosis of the real diminution in activity can only be made as the mountain has been watched a year, and all its movements recorded. After watching events here since May 21,1 do not think a single habitation northwest of the line from Balle Fontains to Vive is safe tb iive In at present, I do not think that Carbet, FOiids St, Denis, Morne Rouge Of Basse Pointe are Eaffi at present. Not that there is any im mediate danger, but that I believe that the action of Mont Pelee is too un certain for us to be assured that,.a fu ture eruption may not occur to wind ward. The greater part of the destruc tion wrought by St. Soufriere, in St. Vincent, was in the windward side, and Mont Pelee is in many respects a twin sister to the St. Vincent volcano. I gave the same advice without hesitation at St. Vincent, although the St. Soufriere there was much quieter than is Mont Pelee. I know Weil that caiising people to move from ait these Villages and ha bitations will produce great inconveni ence, but the alternative id a risk Of human life. When tile mountain is en tirely cold, and the people arc protect ed by a,properly equipped experiment station, with devices to signal danger, they may, with certain restrictions, re turn to the volcanic lands. No city should ever again, however, be built on the northeastern end of the island. I do not think that Fort-de-France is in any danger from the volcano. “Most of the towns in the West In dies are equally in danger from tidal waves. It would takg an explosion from Mont Pelee of enormously greater di mensions than anything that has hap pened as yet to make a wave that would harm Fort-de-France. No evi dence exists of augmenting violence in the eruptions hitherto which would lead to the supposition that a Kraka- toa explosion is coming here. In com parison Mont Pelee is rather a small volcano.” • SEEKING LARGER FIELD. The Rlicutnacide People Begin Busi ness in Baltimore. A Baltimore special says: Mr. J.

Sixty-six delegates attended the convention at which this body was called into being, and they adopted resolutions of the most proiuninced re ciprocity type, among them the foilbw- ing: “Resolved-, Tiiat the doctrine that there shotild be no ‘modification of the tariff which involves any injury to any home industry,’ and which permits each industry to be sole Judge of whether such modifications Will caiise injury, prevents all reform in existing trade laws, iiowever beneficial to the people generally such reform would be, and subordinates the interests of the many to that of the few, in place of which we propose broad, liberal commercial regulations, beneficial ta the people of the whole country. ‘•Resolved, That the reciprocity treat ies negotiated by ex-JIihist® Kflsson under the direction and with the ap proval of President McKinley shpuld be illOmptly ratified as beneficial to the interests of the people of this coun try. and that further treaties along the same general lines should 1)6 nego tiated with other nations. “Resolved, That the interests of an active minority should not prevail over those of a passive majority, and that in making tariffs and reciprocal trade agreements with other nations, the in terests of American industries and of the American people as a whole should be considered.” Among the officers and directors of the organization—and there are nearly as many of them as there Were dele gates in the convention—we find some familiar names. Among them is that of JIr. James Deering, who leaped into fame at a single bound a£ the Wash ington convention of November, 1901, when /with a sweet ingenuousness lie said: “We know that some industries will be injured by the tariff reductions proposed on the pending reciprocity treaties, but they will not be injured so much as other industries will be benefited.” Whereat the convention exploded into a big laugh, and Mr. Decring sat down in confusion. It ha« probably not even yet occurred to young Mr. Deering’s agricultural ma chinery mind that precisely the same Iilea might be urged by the pickpocket and the safe-blower. So, also we find among the officers and directors of the National Reciprocity League Mr. A. B. Farquliar, of York, Pa., another makei of farm implements, whose chief dalm to intellectual distinction resides in the fact that he is an American manufac turer and a free trader. Of the re maining sixty-four nearly all are ef that stripe of business men, fortunate ly very rare in this country, who, hav ing OHtlived the need of protection for their own industries, or thinking that they have, don’t propose that any other industry shall have protection if they can thereby sell a few more machines, implements, barrels of flour, etc., in foreign markets, and who are quite willing that the general mass of Amer ican wage paying industries shall go to the devil if only they are permitted to do a little more business. We were near forgetting to add that Mr. John A. Kasson, of reciprocity fame, is among the officers and directors. Twice in succession have the manu facturers of the United States in na tional convention assembled sat down on the selfish, short-sighted, destruc tive program of wide open reciprocity advocated by the Chicago sixty-six. In Washington last November 500 manufacturers pronounced against this stupendous folly, only two votes being recorded in its favor. Again, in In dianapolis last March, the convention of tlie National Manufacturers’ Asso ciation with practical unanimity reaf firmed the doctrine that only such reci procity arrangements are desirable as shall not inilict injury upon any do mestic interest of commerce, industry or farming. Under such circumstances there is a touch of genuine Tooley street humor, in the resolution which declares that “the interests of an ac tive minority should not prevail over those of a passive majority!” Lineal descendants of the London tailors could not have stated the case more lu dicrously. As sixty-six is' to 10,000 sc is the Chicago reciprocity crowd to the great body of American producing interests. That is about the size of it. If anything, the estimate is rather too liberal to the sixty-six. T be M odern Sam son. Will of P e te r th e G reak The most famous will in all history is that of Peter the Great, which prac tically bequeaths to his heirs on the throne of Russia the domination of the world. “Russia,” said Peter, in his last will and testament, “should exer cise supreme power ‘ over Europe. Europe must be subjugated by a new and youthful race. Russia’s waves should advance over all Europe.” How this was to be done, Peter specified in a large number of clauses, which have governed the policy of the czars for over * century. I P rotection Ig Fov tiie L aboring an d E m t. nesg in te re sts o f th e C ouhtryi It is admitted that the members Of the TdrifI Reform Glub are sincere, but tliey Were SquaUy Candid, Iii their own opinions, in 1803-97, when every business and iaboring man in the Uni ted States was being impoverished by the rule of the free trade theories urged by the New York Reform Club. Notwithstanding that incontrovertible fact the same theories are now appeal ing to other people to contribute the funds necessary to dnttbie that club to again labor for the impoverishment of all tlie people Of the United States By tiie methods tliJU were utilized in 1803-97, Wheii tiie-business and labor ing men lost more than fifteen billions of dollars during the four years of free trade agitation and rule! It is known by all the intelligent peo ple of the United States that they lost at least one-seventli Of their aggregate total wealth during those four years, yet the New Ifork Tariff Reform Club is again asking the people of the na tion to again place themselves in an other four years of destruction and des olation: It is the same old fight of the destructionists and obstructionists against the continued general prosper ity of the people) but it wiil fail be cause tile voters of the Bresetit genera tions remember the ■ unequaled hard times from 189S to 1807. The hard times during these four years, and the general prosperity of all the indus trious people of the United States since that time, fitly illustrate the dif ference between the riile Of free trade and the rule of protection for the la boring and business interests of the United States. Protection protects la bor and business and at the same time enables competition between all home producers.—Des Moines Register. A C apital j*rescri])tioii. Vigorously combating the tendency to grow hysterical on the subject of the tariff and to make foolish conces sions which sacrifice sound Republican principle and policy, the Des Moines Capital says: “With mugwumpism in the platform old-time Iowa Republicans will have a hard time in the press and on the stump. McKinley never advocated so- called tariff reform or mugwumpism, certainly not In his Buffalo speech. He called for enlarged markets for American products, but he did not call for giving up any home market for present home products. He did not ad vocate a reciprocity which should sac rifice a single American industry. Mc Kinley advocated the reciprocity which cause us to swap the things we can produce for the things we cannot pro duce, thUs bringing nothing in to com pete with the American producer. The present day mugwump is trying to steal the livery of reciprocity with which to serve free trade and demoral ize the American protective system which has brought the present prosper ity to the American farm and shop.” The virus of mugwumpory seems to have selected Iowa as a special field for inoculation. The present Governor of that State has it in his system in a rather marked degree. He and all like him would do well to take something for it. The Capital’s presciption is cap ital—namely, courage, consistency and straight Republicanism. I lie F o reig n er's In te rest. No advocate of a broad application of the reciprocity principle has ven tured to specify the particular articles upon which tariff protection can be abolished or limited without detriment to the manufacturers of such articles or to the interests of labor. The free traders have suggested that some in dustries can stand a reduction of ten to twenty per cent, and still be left with sufficient protection, but this is a mere assumption, for the reason that the free traders possess no actual knowledge of the condition and needs of these industries. Of course if the proposed reductions did not increase the importation of competitive articles, then our manufacturers would suffer no injury by making the concessions; but, on the other hand, if lowering the duties did not stimulate importations, then such reductions would be of no value to the foreign producers. The foreign manufacturer has no interest In any scheme of reciprocity that does not afford him a freer entrance into »ur rich market.—Danville (111.) Com mercial. I n F a v o r o f th e Trnsts* As a matter of fact no measure which could pass Congress would be more directly in the interests of the Beef Trust, and more directly against the interests of the farmers and stock raisers of the United States than to re move the duty on live stock. It would give the Beef Trust a cheaper source of supply for raw material, and thus enable it to beat down the price of American live stock, for which the trust affords the principal market,while it would not operate in the slightest degree to break the monopoly which the Beef Trust is alleged to have of the dressed beef market. The Democrats simply seek to direct every popular outcry in the channel of an attack upon the protective tariff without the slightest regard to truth, fact or logic. ' The proposed elimina tion of the tariff on live stock, in re sponse to the outcry against tlie Beef Trust, is one illustration, as the pro posal to remove the duty on raw sugar, in response to the outcry against the Sugar Trust, was another. Both meas ures, if enacted, would be entirely in favor of the trusts—Seattle Post Intel, ligencer. A n - B x d tln g Tim e Dne. Passengers on an elevated railway train this morning who happened to be looking out of the car windows saw a strange thing. A district messenger boy was leaning against a stoop read ing a paper covered novel, utterly oblivious to ,all that was going on around him. At his heels some One had thrown a lighted match, and his trousers were just breaking out into a blaze as tho train rolled on. What happened afterward could be only Imagined by the people on the train. It ought to have been to the boy al most as exciting as the novel.—New York Post. NORTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN. The Week’s Developmeflt as Showii By Correspondents. Reports of crop correspondents for the past week indicate considerable improvement in crop prospects, as a consequence of frequent showers, al- thought the rainfall was looal in char- acter. It is remarkable that ample rains have fallen in some sections In imme diate proximity to others which have suffered from continuous drought, bringing about extreme diversity in thd condition of Cropsi RjUns occurred over many counties on three days of this week, especially July Slst and August 1st, which were highly beneficial; the counties chiefly suffering from severe drought are, in the east, Nash, Duplin, Bladen and Wilson, in thfe central por tion of the State, Richmond, Aiamattcei Franklin, Johnston and Davidson, and in the west, Davie, Rowan, Cabarrus, Iredell, Yadkin and Clay. In these all crops have suffered for want of suffi cient moisture and have undoubtely been considerably injured. Where ahowerS accurred, crops revived won derfully, but a geheril rain over the State is much needed. The temperature during the week averaged about S de grees above normal, with maximum temperatures over 90 degrees on sev eral dates. In Some localities local rains came too late tb make a fuii crop of old corn, which was too much injured by drought to fully recover, but young corn has greatly improved; in many counties both early and late com are reported to be’ in very fine condition still, and promise a large yield, ae the ears are filling well. Saving fodder on forward com has begun. Cotton has not been BoriousIy injured by drought and where showers fell, itis healthy appearance has been restored; cotton is forming bolls rapidly; in the drought stricken sections Bhedding continues and rust has appeared. Tobacco is being cut and cured rapidly, and on the whole is cur ing well; but some farmers have been obliged to cut green to prevent firing, and this will give a IigJit crop. Pea nuts look fairly well; sweet potatoes will be late and short; rice is matur ing; threshing wheat is practically Completed. Special reports on fruit in dicate generally a very inferior crop;, peaches are scare; apples knotty and inferior, and tfie late apple crop con tinues to tall from the trees; pears are Somewhat better; grapes are very fine and are coming into market In abund ance.

State News Notes. Raleigh, Special.—Governor Aycock Monday evening paraoned A. L. Daley, of Chicago, one of the three gold brick swindlers, convicted at Greensboro. The case of the swindlers attracted at tention all over the country. Some of them were v/anted in other States for similar offenses. They were found guil ty thirteen months ago of conspiracy, and Daley was given a seven years’ sentence in the penitentiary here. HO played the part of an “Indian.” Gov ernor Aycock gives the following reas ons for the pardon; "The prisoner is pardoned upon the recommendation of numerous citizens of Chicago and Mil waukee, who certify that they have known him for many years and he has always borne a good character until the present offense. His pardon is re commended by Senator Mason, of Illi nois. and by many of the city officers, of Chicago, and is also approved by the solicitor of the district and by the sheriff of Guilford county. It is clear ly known that the prisoner has never bren charged with any offense before. He is offered employment in Ciiw „nd it is represented will at once go to useful work.”Commissioner of Agriculture rat- terson has completed arrangements for holding farmers’ institute at the fol lowing places in the piedmont section: Enow Camp, Alamance county, August 14; Rural Hill, 16; Lexington, 18; Nor wood, 19; M t Pleasant, 20; Steele Creek, 21.

OHILDREN WITH ORIGINAt IDEAS JFoungstefs Give T ableaa o f G arden of S deor “in Costume*” This story is told by a Philadel- .phian: * “My friends In Santa Barbarai Cal ifornia, that land of perpetual sun* shine, have three most interesting and originally minded children, one girl* and two boys. They were quite accus tomed to roaming around their fath er’s place very scantily clad, so we Were not much surprised, upon re turning from a drive one very warm morning, to find all three, ciothed only in Nature’s garb, at play in tlie" or chard back of the house. The two younger children, Walter and Kath erine, were seated under the branches of a tree;—totally naked—booking like Raphael’s cherubs, while a few yards away, the eldest boy, George, a man of about seven years, stalked solemnly up and down with an old high silk hat of his father’s perched oh his curly head. Calling Walter to her* the mother said: “What are you playing, darling?” “Oh, this is the Garden of Eden,” responded 5-year-old Walter. “I’m Adam and Kathy’s Eve.” “But what on earth is George doing with his father's hat on?" questioned the mother, too well accustomed to the children’s mode of illustrating Bib lical truth to be very much surprised at anything. But even her composure was shaken when, with a moat solemn look on his cherubic face Walter re sponded, “Oh, he’s God.” GLAD SEASON SURELY AT HAND Signs and Sym ptom s by W hich Ooo Stay R ecognize Epring. “Well, spring has come at last,” yawningly said the Old Codger, as he sat in his back-tilted chair with his feet comfortably placed on the railing of the veranda. “The grass is cornin’ up, the trees are buddin’, the boys are fightin’ in the streets every day, the sweet scent of the what’s-its-name is in the aiv, the so-and-so’s are swingin’ and singin’ on the swayin’ boughs, the clatter of the borrowed lawn mower Is beginnin* to be heard in the land, and the coal dealer commences to treat his fellow-men like equals. “Last year’s jokes are beginnin* to appear in the newspapers, spring poems are bein’ sprung, the patent chum man comes smilin* up the road, we begin to read items about little girls dyin’ from the effects of jumpin’ the rope four hundred times apiece, my nephew, who mistakes laziness for intellectuality, is hintin’ about hiss willin’ness to accept a lucrative situa tion, the man who knows it all has got a bad cold from changin’ his under wear too previously, Aunt Matilda is brewin’ a jar of herb decoctions that I know from painful experience will be potent enough to burn a hole in a brass monkey; and I’ve got aches and pains and yawns and symptoms and the allovers till I can scarcely sit down or stand up, or go to bed, or do anything else with any degree of com fort.

I suffered untold misery for a period of over five years with a case of chronic dyspepsia. I would rise in the morning feeling druggy, miserable and unfit for work. For weeks I would be unable to cat one good meal. After eating I would swell and the oppression^ would almost drive me crazy. At times I would be troubled with spells of dizziness. Constant worrimcnt reduced my weight until I was a shadow of my former self. I have been taking ltipans Tabules now for two months and am almost cured. My old symptoms have disappeared. I nave gained in weight over twelve pounds. A t druggists. The Five-Cent packet is enough for an ordinary occasion. The family bottle,60 cents, contains a supply for a year. EABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY.

Aon can’t depend upon what a Republican paper says about a po litical m atter, but the Asheville Gazette has a story in which the element of humor is not liking whether or not it is true. It tells it as a m atter of fact, as illustra ting “ the.irony ot fate and the beauty'of white supremacy” that the minister of the gospel who op ened the Democratic convention of the tenth congressional district at Hendersonville last Thursday with prayer is disfranchised under the poll tax provision of the con stitutional amendment.—Charlotte Observer. We presume the Asheville Ga zette would not have published this “ Irony ot Fate” without hav ing had information from a source considered reliable. W e all are at times mislead by repirts, but all honest and truthful editors, (and there are some even among Demo- cratic persuasion), and we object to the wholesale indictment, made by the Charlotte Observer against Republican Editors. Republican editors are in a deplorable condi tion indeed, if they are not as hon est and truthful as our Democratic brethren of the craft. The Ma chine Democrats in the State curse and abuse the Observer, and call it a Republican paper. W e must •admit being a close reader of its columns, and an ardent Republi can and we have never been able to see anything editorioliy in its columns to justify the accusation, In some things it does not agree with some kinds orspeeiesofDemo mats, aud in many things it is just and lair, but in the main it is Democratic. It was, and we pre sume is still against Judge Clark, and we admire it for its honesty iu opposing this man whom every good aud upright citizen should oppose, if half said about him by Democrats is true. It believes in sound money, and expansion limi ted, aud in this it agrees with an other species of Democrats. W e dislike to criticise brother Joe, but he has made a sweeping decla ration uot borne out by the facts, and is an injustice to many, and in justice to his reputation which he -HO dos b t prizes he should make apology forthwith aud'Ttk-bnce: W e hardly believe he wrote that anyway, but he is responsible for it. 000 white people disfranchised by the poll-tax. In reply to M r. W ebb’s asser tion regarding the fall of empires when wealth was contracted, the speaker said the common people then were disfranchised. “ The only 2 centuries of prosperity Rome ever enjoyed,” said he, “ was while the common people weie allowed to vote.- Tell me that men Bhall be disfranchised because they have been unfortunate in their youth!” The above extracts from a speech by Mr. Smith, a Republi can in Gaston county, discloses the motive of the Democratic ma chine in making the poll-tax pay able early in the spring. Mr. Smith was in Raleigh when the schemers were at work, and heard them discussing their plans—put the payment at a time when mon ey was scarce and poor people were likely to be hard up, in order to cut out off agmany as possible; yet they will tell the poor people tha! they are the onliest friends of the poor man. The Democratic politician tells you that combinations of ' capital are dangerous and oppressive to the maisses of the .people in one breath, and in the next instant he is planning and scheming to con centrate all power in this govern ment in the hands o f the few. Ev ery act curtailing the rights and political power of the masses, is but welding a link of their en slavement. Take away the vot- iug privileges of- the masses and you make it easy for the corrupt few to rule with a rod of iron. Korae decayed and fell when the masses were deprived of eitizen- ahip, and the oligarchy ruled. History is repeating itself. JUDGE CLARK.

Gayaor and Greeae Discharged By a Canadian Court CBARGES w ere too indefinite Judge Claimed That There Were No Dates on Warrants on Which Ar rests Were Hade, Quebec, Special.—Judge Caron, of the Superipr Court, Wednesday released Captain Greene and Colonel Gaynor, the Amarican contractors, who are wanted in the United States for alleged frauds again3t the Federal government involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. Judge Caron based his decision upon the absocnce of dates on the war rants under which the prisoners were first arrested in Quebec; discrepancies In the charges on which the true bills were obtained against the prisoners in the United States, and discrepancies be- . tween those charges and the charges made in the application for extradition. The prisoners were at once released and received the congratulations of their friends, and the court adjourned. Mr. McMaster, counsel for the United States government, was aslted whether the prosecution intended to talce any further action looking to the extradi tion of Colonel Gaynor and Captain Greene. Mr. McMastcr replied that he was unable to speak positively on the subject until after a conference with Messrs. Erwin and Stewart, which was held today at the Chateau Frontenae. There was a large attendance of both legal luminaries and spectators. Mrs. Gaynor, accompanied by a number of ladies, was present during the delivery of the judgment. Gaynor and Greene came into court with Sheriff Langelier. Judge Caron ascended the bench at 10:30 o’clock and began the reading of the very lengthy notes preceding his !".figment. The judge referred to the case as of great importance, if only by reason of the unusual proceedings em ployed, and went on to say that he would only review his last two writs. He then read the petition of the pris oners for writs of habeas corpus on which the writ was issued, in virtue of which the prisoners were taken out of the hands of Jailer Vallee, of Montreal, as well as the answer thereto and the writ itself.' The events Immediately preceding the issue of writs he also re viewed and went on to concur in Judge Androws' opinion with regard to the sensational manner in which the pris oners’ arrest was made here. With re ference to the attacks made upon him self, he was sure that the American au thorities and their agents could have had no hand in them. The notice of the American government’s lawyers to Jailer Vallee to attend to the delivery of Judge Andrews’ judgment was then Quoted and V;illee's compliance there with noted. That judgment ipso facto dispossessed Judge Andrews of the prisoners and under the circumstances he (Judge Caron) was quite justified in his subsequent issue of writs of habeas corpus addressed to Jailer Valiee after ho had taken possession of the pris oners following Judge Andrews’ pro nouncement. Judge Caron next quoted authority for his issue of a writ of certiorari in his previous judgment and showed that the writ of habeas corpus nevertheless remained in force, even without the ex tradition commissioner having pro nounced upon the case, for the prisoner has always a right to question the jus tice of his being deprived of his liberty. LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION elate of the offense !f committed must be inserted in it, to prove the commissioner’s jurisdiction. Moreover^ the exact crime with which the prisoners are charged and the pro- cedings to he taken against them, they have a right to know. In the Eno case, the offense with which the prisoner was charged in the extradition proceed ings to he taken against them, they have said and that made elsewhere did not agree. In the present case there was a distinct discrepancy between the charges upon which the various true bills against the prisoners were ob tained in/the United States against them and in the application for extra dition. This, as well as the absence of dates in the warx*ant, he held to be dis tinctly fatal to the latter and Ue there fore uphold the prisoners’ claim and their objections to the warrants, main tained the writ of habeas corpus and ordered the release of the prisoners.

Governor Aycock Requests Proper Observance of the Day. Governor Aycock has issued a proclamation this afternoon for the observance of Labor Day, September 1st. The proclamation in full follows; “Labor Day, 1902—A proclamation: By the Governor. “Whereas, the Legislature of North Carolina has appointed the first Mon day in September of each year Labor Day and a general holiday, the-said first Monday in September being the same day set aside by the statute of the United States and tfie statutes of the various States In the Union. “Now, therefore I, Charles B.'Ay- cock, Governor of the State of North Carolina, in recognition of said legis lative acts and with a view to the con tinuance and strengthening of the good will which exists between all the people of this State, do request all of the citizens of North Carolina to observe Monday, September I," 1902, as a holiday, and that in every way possible employers co-operate with employes in worthy recognition of the dignity of labor and in the becoming observance of Labor Day. Let there be as far as possible cessation of labor throughout the State. I request that all places of business of whatever character where labor is employed shall be closed to the end that those employed may enjoy a day of rest and thanksgiving. The day ought to be observed by all people in expres sion of appreciation of those who toll, for upon them rests the progress, prosperity, success and happiness of the State. Let harmony exist between all employers and employes. Let us foster and strengthen that confidence between those who employ labor and those who work which is essential to the peace of the State and the best interests of all the people. In testimony whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed. This the 13th day of August, A. D., 1902, and in the 127th year of our independence.

The following is part of a circular letter issued by the offices of the North Carolina Farmers’ State Asso ciation: To the Farmehs of North Carolina: At the January meeting of the North Carolina Farmers State Asso ciation, a resolution was adopted that the annual meeting of the associatibn be held the third Tuesday in August. Commissioner S. L. Patterson, who is a member of the executive committee of the association, informs us that he will be away, engaged in institute work at that time, and the following week will be in attendance at the meeting of the Cotton States Associa tion of Commissioners of Agriculture, in Nashvillev Tenn. Therefore, it is thought best to hold the annual meet ing of the State Farmers Association on Wednesday, September 3, in the auditorium of the Agricultural Building in the city of Raleigh, beginning at 11 o’clock a. m. It is to be hoped that every county in the State will be represented at that meeting. We hope to secure reduced rates over the dif ferent railways for the occasion. Master Printers Organize.

Manila, By Cable.—Au investiga tion made—by the constabulary to clear up the facts in the killing of a Qebu coaching party of four school teachers, shows that the party was ambushed twelve miles from Cebu. Two teachers were shot and killed at the first volley, a third, who ran, was shot in the back and a fourth, who .was captured, was shot in the chest while he was praying for mercy. It is suspected that the fourth man was buried alive, as his wound was slight, and probably would not have caused his death. Dogs dug up two of the bodies and devoured the fiesh. It is believed that sufficient evidence has been secured to convict all the participants in the crime. Deal In F!orlda Timber Lands. Louisville, Special.—The W. P. Wil liams Land Company, of Savannah, Ga., closed a deal Wednesday with Louisville capitalists for 3,000 acres of timber land in Florida. Messrs. Wil liams and Jennings, who negotiated the deal, said the Louisville men had requested that their names be kept secret and would not divulge them. They had also refused to tell in what part of Florida the land is located. The purchasers deal in naval stores. Columbia, S. C., Special.—One can didate for Senator McLaurin’s seat Thursday resented being “cussed at” by another candidsge for the same place, and so precipitated a fight. The campaign paFty was at Gaffney, which has developed into a - sensa tional campaign meeting place. Former Congressman John J. Hemp hill objected to a statement by Con gressman Latimer and in turn made a declaration about an inconsequen tial matter. Latimer contradicted Hemphill, who immediately showed anger and repeated his statement. Latimer denied it. Hemphill stepped before him angrily and said: “— damn you, you know that what you say is untrue.” Both are large, strongly built men. Latimer made a tremendous lunge, landing hard on HemphilPs head. The latter struck heavily, but the force of his blow was broken by strong men pulling them apart. Hemphill swung his closed umbrella for Latimer's head, but the force of the blow was broken by men rushing between them. They were finally overpowered. Hemp hill being brought to earth by several men. The fighters were required to go before the mayor and put up $10 each. Another Account, Charleston, S. C., Special.—The News and Courier's campaign reporter tele graphs from Gaffney, S..C., as follows: There is something either in the water or the atmosphere that calls fprth a difficulty of some sort every time can didates or officials speak here. It will be remembered that it was at thie place that Senators Tillman and McLaurin found that arguments availed nothing and both tendered their resignations to Governor McSv/eeney; and the incident of the “Jim” Tillman-DeCamp episode, a few weeks ago, is still fresh in the minds of the people. But today two would-be Senators came to actual blows, and all about a small matter. It happened in this way: At the senato rial and congressional candidates meet ing held here in the court house Thurs day, Congressman Latimer was the last speaker. When his turn came the dinner hour had arrived and a majority of the 500 in the audience left. Lati mer did not want to speak to the de pleted crowd and asked permission of the chairman to be allowed to postpone his speech until after dinner, the tinie !!lotted to the Congressmen. The mat ter was left to a vo.te qnd it was or dered that his speech should not be postponed. Latimer jumped up and said: “I want you all to come back here and hear me, for these five law yers have been jumping on one poor farmer and I am going to answer them.” As they were leaving the bar of the court room, Hemphill said: "Latimer you ought not to say that, for none of us have -been jumping on you today, and you know n*. It has al ways been our rule to ei __________ before we s to g ji^ M ^ i^ n m S e tin g * will not be right I^upon the time of the Con- itimer: “You want to make me k to empty benches; you care noth- for the Congressmen.” !emphill: “I do care for the Con- en, and you know it.” this time they were facing each ier, and both very angry, timer: “I know tha: you don’t care them.” emphill: “G—d d—n you, you know ^t is not true.” timer then drew back and hit phill a stunning blow on the cheek, eral men jumped in between them the driving blow sent by Hemphill is antagonist fell short of its mark. tried to_hit Latimer over JfeeJjeads^ of the intervening men,'’“but he could nat reach him. Several men grabbed hol,d of both antagonists, who were making desperate efforts to get at each other and in the scuifie Hemphill was pushed back between two chairs in the jury box, but was instantly helped to his feet again. This ended the nncident as far as this correspondent saw and heard. It is reported that Hemphill followed Latimer out of the court room and asked him why he. struck him, and Latimer replied: “Because you cursed me,” to which Hemphill rejoined: “I did not curse you.” Latimer said: 'Well, if you did not curse me, I apol ogize.” This latter statement is mere hearsay, but the first part is .testimony and was heard and witnessed by many. The whole affair was totally unexpected, for during the entire campaign there has not been any controversy to amount to anything between these two gentlemen, either off or on the stump. RquIsitIon Papers Returned. Boston, Special.—Governor Crane has returnod to the South Carolina author ities the requisition papers in the case of Julian Foster, a colored man, arrest ed in Clinton, Mass., who is wanted in New Market, Greenwood county, S.

Mr. M. DeW. Stevenson writes from New Berne, N. C./ to the Manufac turers’ Record as follows: “The proposed Pamlico, Oriental & Western Railroad is to extend from the city of New Berne via Bayboro, Stonewall, Oriental and Vandemere to a point near the mouth of Goose Creek, all except New Bemebeingin Pamlico county. It is about fifteen or sixteen miles from New Beme to Bay boro, which is the county town- of Pamlico; about ten miles from Bay boro to Oriental, about six miles from Oriental to Vandemere and about twelve miles from Vandemere to the mouth of Goose Creek, making, the whole road about forty-three miles long. There will be a bridge across the Neuse river at New Berne, where the road will connect with the At lantic & North Carolina Railroad, which runs from Morehead City to Goldsboro. New Berne is also the northern terminus of a branch of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, which runs from Wilmington to New Berne. “Pamlico county is finely situated between the Neuse and Psmlico rivers and Pamlico Sound. Bay river runs from Bayboro to the Sound, and is navigable up to Bayboro. The lands of ,Pamlico are very productive, the principal crops being cotton, com and track, and there are large quantities of timber, mostly pine. I understand that there have recently been sales of large tracts of land in this county to citizens In a Western State. Pamli co is one of the few counties of North Carolina in which there are no rail roads. The people of the county are anxious to have the road built. They have recently voted to issue $50,000 of 30-year bonds to make a subscription to the capital stock of the company. It is contemplated that the city of New Berne will also subscribe.” AN EXTRA President M ill Call Senators Together After Election. IT WILL MEET IN NOVEMBER.

Merrimack Manufacturing Co., Huntsville, Ala., states that there is no truth in the rumor that it will build a duplicate mill, nor is it intended to establish a bleachery in connection with the plant. The directors of the Mount Vernon Cotton Duck Co. and of the United States Cotton Duck Association, of which the first named is a constituent company, held a directors’ meeting in New York city last week.

Messrs. O. H. Robbins & Co; of Charlotte, N. C., have prepared tha plans. Washington, Special—Advices re ceived here indicate that President Roosevelt will call the Senate in ex traordinary session early m Novem ber. Ever since it became evident that nothing would be accomplished as to reciprocity with Cuba,, at the re cent session of Congress, rumors of a more or less definite nature have been in circulation that the President would call an extra session, either of the entire Congress to enact Cuban reciprocity legislation, or of the Sen ate to ratify, if possible, a reciprocal treaty with Cuba. During the past week it has- been stated that it was the purpose of President Roosevelt to call a special session of the Senate as early as September. It can be stated by authority that he has no such inten tion. His time and that of many mem bers of the Senate of both political parties will be completely occupied during September and October. It is understood to be the belief of the President that a session of the Senate held for the purpose of ratify ing a reciprocity treaty with Cuba would be much more likely to be fruitful of results if it is held after the November elections than if it was held before. It is assured that the questions of the relations of the Uni ted States with Cuba will enter large ly into the approaching campaign and it 'is stated that the President feels the Democrats will be likely to offer the less serious opposition to a reciprocity treaty after the election than they would before that time. A treaty with Cuba practically has been prepared. It requires only the finish ing touches and the signatures of Minister Quesda and Secretary of State Hay, to make it ready for pre sentation to the Senate. No definite date, it is understood, has been fixed upon for the meeting of the session in November, but that it will be soon after the election is reasonably cer tain. The President, it is said, hopes to have the reciprocity question cleared away entirely before the regular session of Congress. Rebels Capture Barcelona. Washington, Special. — Minister Bowen has cabled the State Depart ment from Caracas that our consul at Barcelona has informed him by wire that Barcelona had been taken by the revolutionists, that they are sacking the town and that In his judgment the protection of a vessel should be imme diately afforded him. Mr. Bowen says he has cabled the Cincinnati to return without delay. He notes that the To peka is at Porto Cabello and the Mari etta up the Orinoco river. During the day the Cincinnati reported her arrival at Porto Cabello and instructions were sent directing either the Topeka or the Cincinnati to proceed to Barcelona. This leaves it discretionary with Cap tain McLean, of the Cincinnati, the senior officer present, to send the To- pako or go himself with the Cincinnati. The vessel which remains will be pre pared to land bluejackets at Porto Cm bello in case of necessity. Injunction Refused. IMwffil^IlIIIi I lor Martin has refused to grant the in junction asked by the regular Repub licans of this State against Secretary of State Crockett, to restrain him from having printed on the State ticket, to be voted September I, the name of Charles D.

The distribution of rainfall was again very irregular during the pas week; the least amount occurred m the western section, including a portion of the central district, west of a line drawn from Person south to Anson county, while throughout the eastern half of, the State showers fell on al most every other day, and in this sec tion the precipitation has been amply sufficient for the present need of croJis- The heaviest raiiis occurred on the 6lb and 10th, and greatly revived .vegeta tion and improved the condition of crops. Unfortunately the storm of the 6th (Wednesday) was accompanied by high winds which did considerable dam age over a very extended area of the State; much corn was blown to the ground, also some cotton and tobacco; fences and chimneys were blown down; tobacco barns unroofed, and orchards suffered badly, as much of the fruit was whipped from the trees. The benefits resulting from the rainfall accompany ing the storm largely offset the damage in the east, but in the western portion Qf the State the drought is yet un broken, and crops continue to suffer se verely. The mean temperature aver aged about 3 degrees above the nor mal; high maximum temperatures were recorded until after the 6th when a shift of the wind to northerly brought cooler nights and less sultry days. In the west old corn is still suffering badly for lack of moisture, especially the upland corn, and even the late crop is not doing well in some places; where showei-s occurred corn was much bene fited, though the old crop cannot regain the loss caused by drought, owing to poorly filled ears; bottomland and late corn is splendid in many counties. Fod der pulling has begun at many places. In dry counties cotton is still shedding and there is some, rust; elsewhere plants are well boiled; early planted upland cotton has commenced to open in the south portion. Cutting and cur ing tobacco has advanced rapidly, with generally good results; in some coun ties the plants are firing, and the top crop, which is not well matured, will not give satisfactory oures. Peanuts, field peas, turnips and rice are doing well, but sweet potatois are not prom ising. Planting the fall crop of Irish potatoes has begun, and seeding tur nips conliiuies. Advantage was taken of favorable seasons to set out straw- beriy plants In the Wijmington-Weldon district. Pastures are making renew ed growth in the east. Fall plowing :s now making vapid progress.

Va., Special.—Judge Jackson released Thomas Haggerty and six' other members of the. United Mine Workers, who were serving 60 and 90 days in jail for contempt of court. The prisoners filed a petition for release, al-. Ioging that they had not known they were violating the injunction when they did so and promising not to do so again.

Oyster Bay, Special—President Roos evelt late Monday afternoon announc ed that he had appointed Oliver Wen dell Holmes, Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of Massachusetts, to be an Associate Justi.ce of the United States Supreme Court, vice Justice Gray, resigned. The resignation of Jus tice Gray was due to ill health. Sev eral months ago he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, which some time later, was followed by another. He has not appeared on the bench since he was stricken the first time. His advanced age, 74 yoars, tolil against his recovery with serious force. Realizing that he probably never would be able to again assume the place which he so long had filled with distin guished ability and honor, he decided a short time ago to tender his resigna tion to the President With the excep tion of Justice Harlan, he served on the bench of the United States Supreme Court a longer period than any other member. He was appointed an Associ ate Justice by President Arthur, on December 19, 1881, his service extend ing therefore through a period of nearly 21 yeais. Judge Holmes, whom the President has selected as Justice Gray’s successor, is one of the most distinguished law yers of Massachusetts. His career oa the bench, particularly as Chief Jus tice. of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, has attracted wide attention. Like Justice Gray he is a native of Massachusetts. He is a son and name sake of the late Dr. Holmes, the poet and assayist. Justice Gray’s resignation was not altogether unexpected. It was !Cog nized that he would be unable to re sume his duties on the bench and tho general impression was that he would resign at or before the beginning of the next term ot court In October. His successor, it is said, will not take his place on the bench until after his con firmation by the Senate. This is the un written practice in the case of appoint ments to the Supreme Court. Judge Gray was always a nardent Republican. Like his successor he was Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court of Massa chusetts before his appointment to tho United States Supreme Court. Cloudburst Uncovered Dead Bodies. Madison, N. J., Special.—The cloud burst Sunday night caused devastation In Hillside Cemetery.

Atlaatfti Ota* voungsters E f 9® fie,] Seai” Shoes HOE C Souil1 Ueo |i SENTIMENT IN TIE WEST AS DISCLOSED IN RECENT STATE CONVENTIONS. MldUiran ana Minnesota Eepubllcnns Deprecate Any Beanetion of Tariff Duties CalenIatea to Injure Any Do-!nestle Interest. The frantic efforts -which have been put forth by the friends of “reciproc ity” to make tt appear that the State conventions in a number of Western agricultural States “have repudiated the-stand taken by the opponents of Cuban reciprocity” onlj serve to show to what exteDt men will go In a desper ate causa. In only one of the Western States, Nebraska, were resolutions adopted which might be regarded as antagonistic to the stand which the Republican Senators and Representa tives took during the recent session of Congress on the Cuban “reciprocity” issue. In Michigan and Minnesota the State conventions endorsed reciprocity according to the McKinley idea of what that policy should be, and de nounced any scheme of reciprocity which would injure a domestic Indus- try. Th? most remarkable feature of the developments of the past week on this subject was the comments made by the “reciprocity” press upon the resolu tions adopted by the Minnesota State convention. Because that convention resolved in favor of the reciprocity pol, icy outlined by President Roosevelt's Qrst annual message to Congress1Which message proceeded upon the same lines for the consummation of a policy of re ciprocal trade arrangements as had been suggested by President McKinley, the “reciprocity” press proceeded to as sert that the policy for reciprocity which was considered in the last ses sion of Congress had been endorsed, and that President Roosevelt had won a tremendous victory over the Senators and Representatives from Minnesota, who had stood out against the pro posed twenty per cent, reduction on Cuban commodities entering the ports of the Cnitea States. The Adminis tration press was suddenly filled with glad acclaims about a “tremendous vic tory for reciprocity.” and the "direct repudiation of the Senators and Repre sentatives who opposed Cuban reci procity in the recent session of Con gress.” But the facts do not warrant such claims on Ilie part of the supporters of “Cuban reciprocity.” The Minnesota State convention, like that of Michigan, did not repudiate the stand taken by the delegation in Congress from that State. On the contrary, the Minnesota convention stood squarely by the Con gressional delegation from the State, and spoke emphatically against “reci procity” that would give the benefits of proposed reductions in duties on Cuban imports to combinations in this country, rather than to the Cuban peo ple, and further denounced any plan of reciprocity which should tend to im pair the interests of a domestic indus try by subjecting it to unfair competi tion from Cuban imports. In other words, the Minnesota and Michigan State conventions, in ex pressing opinions on the subject of re ciprocity, took their stand with the re ciprocity policy of William McKinley, and.declined to be swerved from that course by pleas for “justice to Cuba.” The Senators and Representatives in the last session, of Congress who op posed the Cuban reciprocity bill, so- called, were not opposed to giving ade quate relief to Cuba. They were will ing that ever.vthing_§houli be done to ^rom ote the interests of tik-'new Cu ban Government, even to the voting of aid to the government and the making of a reciprocity treaty that should b* effectively in the interests of the Cu ban planters. But they insisted that the policy should be so carried out as to insure the proposed benefits to tbe Cuban people, and that the plans to be put in operation should not -work in jury to a domestic industry. They went further and insisted that while tlie Republican party as represented In the Administration of President Roose velt and in the Congress of the United States, is standing out against any tinkering with the tariff, no plan should be encouraged for tariff tinkering by piecemeal, such as that of reducing the duties on raw sugar and tobacco from Cuba, without making sure that the proposed reductions in duties did not inure to the benefit of the purchas ers of raw sugar and tobacco in the United States rather than {^|j!»C u- ban producers, and Ultimately to the consumers of these articles In tbe Uni ted States. It is not unlikely that this subject will be heard from throughout the ap proaching campaign. The Western Senators and Representatives who took a decided stand against the Cuban “re ciprocity” policy are certain to bring the whole matter to the attention of tlieii people during the campaign. On the other hand, the friend3 and sup porters of the Cuban bill, the adher ents of the Administration in this pol icy. are confident that the agricultural States of the West will not support their own representatives in the course adopted. It was decided by the Repub lican leaders, who were interested in promoting tbe-Cuban bill during the session of Congress, to drop the whole matter for the present, and wait an expression or roe sentiment or tue peo ple, and of the Senators and Represen tatives, after the fall elections. The only plan now considered by the leaders is to have the matter of Cuban reciprocity brought forward, either at a special session of the Senate in No vember, or at the regular session in December, in the form of a treaty with the new republic of Cuba. Of course, this will place the whole question in precisely the same position before Con gress that is occupied by the trade treaties with other countries. The Question will then be whether atrade treaty with Cuba can stand any better chance of receiving the necessary two-thirds vote of the Senate than do the Kasson trade treaties with B'rauce, Argentine and the Caribbean Islands. • The sea captain who has discov ered in the Caribbean sea a floating island filled with monkeys, which threw cocoannts at him from tree topB, is entitled to a vote of thanks be cause he did not find a comic opera troupe on It also. ' * mineral p roducts .____ Enormous Inereau of Output Vnaer tlie DinKley Tariff Law. To a large degree our mineral pro duction is indicative of what protec tion has done for our industrial expan sion under the operation of the Ding- Iey law. The coal for our furnaces and for engines in mills, on tbe railroad and as the basis for all motive power; the iron ore which is the basis of our great iron and steel output; the stone for construction purposes; the copper and silver and gold all show a inosf wonderful increase during the past fiv< years. In value our mineral produo tion has increased from ?G22,000,000 ip 1890 to over ?1,200,000,OOO iu 1001, or 100 per cent., and the output.for IOOJ will no doubt show a most substantial increase over last year. The following table shows the ii\ crease iu value of a few of our mineral products from 1806 to 1301: „ , „ 1898. looi.£o»* .................$196,000,000 $325,000,000 Vtold-- ....... 53,000,000 83,000,000 °re ............ 23.000,000 75.000.000Silver I com. val.) 40,000,000 36,000'000P0PPe r ...... 50,000,000 105,000.001).................................... 10,500,000 26,000.000">n? v ....... 6,500,000 12,000^000" lckcI ....... 4,500,000 8,000,000 Hone--,... 30,000,000 55.000,000Ciayproducts.... 63,000,000 S5’.000,000Petroleum. 58,500,003 S4;000,000!natural gas .. .. 13,000,000 26,000,000 In all the ubove the increase was enormous, except silver, which shows a slight decrease in both quantity and commercial value. Some of the less important products increased in even greater proportions, such as graphite, from .$4S,000 to $220,- 000; feldspar, from $35,000 to $200,000; precious stones, from $97,000 to §200,. 000; flint, from $24,000 to $196,000; min. eral paints, from $530,000 to $030,000; pyrite, from $320,000 to $890,000, and so on through the list. Perhaps the most noteworthy increase is that in the production of iron ore. This is shown again in the pig iron output, which has increased from C,057,3SS tons in 1S9-1 to 15,878,354 tons in 1901, and an esti mated output of nearly 18,000,000 tons for the present year. Our~whoIe mineral production. Iiko that of agriculture, manufacturing and forest products, shows the effect of on increased purchasing power. In ship, ping, railroading, building and every field of mechanism there is the same increased demand for the products of our mines, which at the present' rate of increase will in a year or two ex ceed a billion and a half in value an nually. FaoJ Kemeaies l?or *' Trusts.” As a further illustration of alleged Democratic cuteness, Representative Richardson proposes to reduce the duty on any articles sold for export, by American producers, at lower prices than the same products are sold for at home. All this is in a bill which Mr. Richardson certainly does not'expect Congress to act on, but which he in tends as the text for certain stump speeches. In substance this is a pro posal that, when the American work men have supplied the American mar ket the inills must shut down until a new home demand arises. The greater part of international commerce consists in the dumpage of surpluses, almost in variably at cnt prices. Such prices pay wages, bnt frequently do not pay pro fits. Richardst proposes that no American goods shall be sold which do not bring profits to capitalists as well as wages to labor. We should be rather glad to see the Ways and Means Committee report the Richardson bill back, with an amendment that a pro hibitory duty should be placed on for eign trust made goods, and on products imported at lower rates than those cur rent In the country of origin. It is a pXC"I»je tJ'"t~nLlU-.'iot work bolfc^ a p - A week or two of discussion in Con gress on a bill so amended would be very edifying, and help to clear up the muddled Democratic brain. We do not know just how they would de termine when either foreign or Amer ican goods are sold at cut rates for ex port. Pass it up to the President, we suspect. That seems to be thg fashion. —San Francisco Chronicle. Ilo Obligation* The United States Government has done much for the Cubans in freeing them from Spanish oppression and as sisting them in tne catabiiGhmpnt of a government of their own. We are willing to render them further assist ance, if need be, in so far as we can aid them without harm to the business interests of ont.owo citizens. Haw iai we eaffgo In respect to reciprocal trade relations with them is for Congress, in its wisdom, to determine. It Is a grave mistake, however, to assume that we owe them any debt, real or implied. Such obligation as exists is on the other side—a fact which is freely and grate fully recognized by all intelligent Cu bans.—Los Angeles Times. ' Wise Woras of Camion. The tariff has too many ramifications and is too far-reaching in its effect to be made the football of purely loeal judgment. It is true there are not lacking “reformers” who feel that they are inspired with wisdom from above to lead the party through the wilder ness. but it is noticeable that the re formers are seldom able to agree among themselves, and that their followers lire of uncertain number and allegiance. The few of them who get into a na tional convention are quickly lost to view in the vast expanse of national interests which tow?i; above.mere local environment.—Burlington Hawkeye. TUSKS OF GREAT MAMMOTH, They Were Found In an Old Riverbed Deposit In Texas. A pair of tusks from a mammoth that .lived at least B0,000 and possibly 100,000 years ago has just been receiv ed at the American Museum of Natural History, from Victoria, Tex., where they were found In an old river-bed deposit. The particularly interesting tiling about them is that they are the largest ever found. Professor Lucas, curator of the National Museum at Washing ton, is authority for that statement. The larger of the two tusks, meas ured on the outside curve, is Uiirteen feet and some inches in length. The estimated height of the mammoth to which they belonged is thirteen feet. Jumbo was eleven feet high. Another comparison which sives some notion of the size of the mam moth is with the skeleton of the mastodon that was found in a peat bog near Newburgh and is the largest complete fossil skeleton in the Ameri can Museum in this city. The tusks of that skeleton which curve out over the aisle and are about the first thing noticed by the visitor on that part of the museum, are only nine'feet long. The mammoth tusks just received were found in a deposit contemporary with the ice age. Although once ivory they are now completely petri fied and one of them I' badly weather ed. A portion of the skull was found with them and this is being buut up with a plaster skull to show, when ex hibited, the size and shape of the orig inal. This find in Texas throws consider; able light on the unsolved question as to whether the tusks of the mam* moth curved in or out. The pair found in Texas were In several pieces, |ust rotted and shaken apart like th< wooden parts of Rip Van Winkle’s gun. But the pieces matched perfectly at the breaks, and when put together with reference to the fragment of skull found with them the complete tusks curved inward. They would have crossed if the end of the shorter one had not been weath. ered off. For the saRe of investiga tion the effort was made to put the pieces together so that the tusks would curve away from each other, but i* couldn’t he done. The discovery throws some doubt on tho matching of the tusks of the skeleton of the hairy mammoth found In 1806 in Siberia and now in the Imperial Museum at St. Petersburg. The tusks there curve out and away from each other. They were not found with the rest of the skeleton, and it is barely possible, said one of the scientists at the American Mu seum, that in putting the parts to gether the right tusk was put in the place of the left and vice versa.—New York Sun. SOSES WERE TOO EXPENSIVE Wisconsin Man Would be Satisfied With Carnations. “Speaking of dreams,” said one of the fellows toe other day,, “a friend of mine told me a good one on his part ner.

The Mil waukee business was a large one and involved the expenditure of large amounts of money.

At the recent meeting of the Indiana State Board of Trade, held at Indian apolis, a morning session was devoted to the subject of “Good Roads.” The first speaker was C. W. Sherritt, of Muncie, who laid special stress upon the value of good roads to the farmer. He spoke of an old fogy farmer, in Kentucky, who resisted the building of a macadamized road through his farm, and said that if they forced the build ing of it he would sell out and leave the county. He had 2S0 acres of fair land, only a part under cultivation, mostly covered with a fine growth of poplar timber that, up to the time'of building this road it was practically impossible to market But the road was built, and, true to his threat, he did sell out, at $36 an acre. The pur chaser of this property sold the timber for $300 more than the entire farm cost him. He afterward sold the farm at $52 an acre. The entire cost to that farm was a little more than $SOO._ “So you see,” said Mr. Sherritt. “that farm er No. I was ‘penny wise and pound foolish.’ ” “Our farmers,” he continued, “have tl^e situation in their own hands. They can influence legislation that will give them ample road facilities for market ing their grain and all the products of their farms at all seasons of the year Good Toads not only give them this, but save their horses and protract their lives and their usefulness. They save in time. A load of wheat over a bad road may be excessive at a few hun dred pounds, and require another day to haul to the market and take many pounds from his horses’ flesh and many days from their lives, whereas a good road may mean several thousand pounds, one-half day’s time and flesh and buoyant horses at night. “Good roads add to the enjoyment of country life. The distant church bells on Sunday morning only cause the farmer upon a bad road to shake his head, and, with his family to remain at home. How different from the man upon the other road. A prancing pair of horses, a happy family. AU points are nearer upon a good road, as all are distant upon a bad one. The tim“ is rapidly approaching when the whirr of the horseless carriage will waken the echoes in everyvailey in our land. We are living in a wonderful age. Every day brings us In contcat with new won ders. The iramp, tramp of the magic feet of progress awakens us in the morning, and its ringing clanging lulls us to sleep at night AU about us mo tion.

Good roads enthusiasm appeal's to have run away with the arithmetic of Supervisor Couboy. If he is correctly quoted In Saturday’s Commercial. The public has been given from time to time various glowing assurances of tile re duction which could be made In con structing highways by using prisoners from the jail and the penitentiary. Supervisor Couboy has got past the stage of predicting a mere economy. He has now figured it out that the con vict labor plan is going to save the en tile cost, so far as the county is con cerned. This is the way the Commer cial quotes him: “We have figured closely and carefully, and do not think any mistakes will be discovered. The State appropriates half the money for these road-improvements. The county supplies the other half. Well, we think we can do the work so cheaply that mey the State WiU give us will be suflicieii^loTmee^fl^fiJflSiSSi^];]^ out forcing the county to furnish any money to meet the half of the entire cost advanced by the State.” Isn’t that clear as city water in May? The law provides that the State shall pay half the cost of building roads. The county, by using convicts, will do the work for half the cost. Ergo, the State will be paying it all, and the county will get its roads for nothing. A resolution authorizing the purchase of a stone crushing plant for $6000 al ready has been put iu through the Board of Supervisors. The law provides that the State Engi neer “may in his discretion award the contract to iiie poc-it of Supervisors of Jhe-Cfiunty or the town board o* boards of the towri"of fowiK 1c Which’ such highway lies, provided their re spective bids do not exceed by ten per cent, the bid of such lowest responsible bidder, and except that no contract shall be awarded at a greater sum than the estimate.” What the supervisors evidently have in mind to do is to make a bid approaching the State’s estimate, say, $7000 a mile, and then do the work for half that figure. They think the State would pay half the contract price, which would be only hair the real cost, so the county would have nothing to pay. Even if this rosy dream of cheapness should be realized it is a question whether, as the law reads, the State would not base its quota on the real cost, instead of the contract price.—Buffalo Express.

In expressing the hope of pure elections under the new Constitu tion, the Newport Kews press says that “in other days men who would scorn to steal money have stolen that which is far more pre cions thau money; men who would under ordinary circumstances con sider it a crime to lie, have.perjur ed themselves flagrantly and con sistently to forward their political ends; they have held up the spec ter of negro supremacy and have justified their crimes by the end attained; they have not only done this, but Democrats have stolen from each other with the same fa cility with which they have stolen from the eiiemy; they have gotteu the habit of stealing votes and perjuring themselves, wheu they do it they cannot break them selves of it when they are count- ingtheir own ballots.” Several days ago the old Domin ion Sun, a Republican newspaper, said that the demoralization which is alleged to exist in Richmond, Norfolk and other places in the State, ‘‘might in a measure be traced to the election methods which have been practiced for years aud the perjury and fraud which have been perpetrated to subserve partisan ends.” In com menting on this serious charge we said that if it had been a slander it might have been treated with si lent contempt, but that it was a sad solemn truth. The same charge is now made I by a Democratic paper, aud not by one only, but by two. The Ports mouth Star reproduced what the Times said in reply to the old Do- million Sun, and adds: The reaping from this sowing is not done exclusively in Richmond, Norfolk and other cities. The peo ple of the entire State have the poison iu their blood. The Lees burg lynching and the case of Judge Campbell, of Amherst coun ty, prove conclusively that the spirit of demoralization is as ram pant iu the country districts as it js iu the ci'ies. The whole body politic is sictr' Tf"lxrald” not be otherwise after breathing in for thirty years the miasma arising from ballotbox stuffing and dis honest returning boards. eyes to these painful facts, but they have at Last had a square reckoning with the situation and now, under a new order of things, we believe that they will purge the State of the infamy, and de. maud that hereafter every quali fied voter shall have the privilege of voting as he pleases and that every ballot that goes into the box shall be honestly returned. If this reform does not come we may look for more of corruption in our affairs oi government, and con- tiuued contempt of law. The bal lot-box is the source of our govern ment, and if the source be corrupt the stream must necessarily be pol luted. The above arraignment of Democratic ballot-box stuffing and perjurers by Virginia Democratic papers is indeed terrible, and should put every honest xuan to thinking seriously. The same con ditions have prevailed here in North. Carolina, and how any hon est upright man'can endoise it lon ger is beyond our comprehension. These ballot-box stuffers and perjurers are a disgrace to our State, and a menace to good gov ernment, and while our Democrat ic friends are preaching good gov ernment to the people, with thieves manipulating the ballot boxes, the good angel looks on, drops a tear, hides its face, and drops the cur tain, and wings its way from the sight of corruption, and demorali zation, while all honest, law-abi ding men bow their heads in shame, in disgust with the good government which flows from such polluted fountain.

Ten Tbousand Tollers fleet Kim and Present Him W ith Magnificent Of fering of Flowers. Hartford, Conn., Special.—President Roosevelt entered upon his Nev/ Eng land tour Friday. Leaving Oyster Bay on the yacht Slyph, New Haven was tho first point visited. There the Presi dent was driven about the city for an hour, accompanied by a military escort. On his arrival here in the af ternoon the President took another ride, this tims in a Victoria automobile. In Pope Park, one of the beauti ful outlying recreation spots of the 2ity, the President was greeted by 10,- OOO working men who presented him with a magnificent floral horsehoe in scribed: “Workingmen’s Welcome to Our President.” The President made a brief response. Five thousand men and women crowded tho Coliseum here at night to hear the address of the President At least two-thirds of the audience were workingmen and the enthusiasm mani fested by them when the President al luded to the rights of the toiler aroused the keenest interest. Again and again during his remarks, which were based on an incident of the after noon, the presentation of a floral horseshoe by the workingmen, the. President was interrupted by vocifer ous applause. Such side remarks as, “I don’t care how honest a man may be, if he is timid, he is no good,” evok ed prolonged Ja ighter. Again, in speaking of the isthmian canal, he aroused mirth by saying that one of the problems in connection with the great engineering feat would procure £50,000 patriotic, ambitious men to work for a $10,000 foe. The President said: “Being driven around your beautiful city I was taken through Pope Park and stopped at a platform where I was presented with a great horseshoe of flowers, the gift of the workingmen of Hartford (loud ap plause), to the President of the United States. (Applause.) I listened to an admirable little address by Fatlier Sul livan. Now. in his speech, he was kind snough to allude to me personally, but he laid primary stress, as he ought to lay it, upon the fact that it was a gift Df welcome from the wage-workers, upon women ultimately this govern ment depends, and he coupled the words Cf greeting with sentences in which he expressed his belief that I would do all that I could to show my self a good representative of the wage workers. Gentlemen, I should be ut-' IerIy unfit for the position that I hold if I failed to do all that in me lies, to act, as light is given me, to act so as to represent the best thought and pur pose of tbe wage-workers of the Unit ed States. (Loud and continuous applause.) “Now, at the outset of the twentieth sentury, we are facing different and complex problems, problems social and economic, which will tax the best en ergies of all of us to-solve right. I think you will agree with me that in the long run the best way in which to serve any one set of our citizens is to serve all alike well, to try to act in a spirit of fairness and justiee to all; to give to each man his rights; to safe guard each man in his rights, and, so tar as in me lies, while I hold my pres ent position, I will be true to that con ception of my duty.” (Applause.) President Roosevelt then continued as follows: “From the days of Monroe, Clay and the younger Adams, we, as a peo ple, have always looked with interest upon the West Indies and the isthmus connecting the two Americas, feeling that anything happening in those re gions must be of concern to our wel- Ipfore for this feeling. The out- Ibf the Spanish war put us in pos- on of Porto Rico and brought us- Rb peculiarly close touch with Cuba; JFhile the passage of the Kay-Paunce- Kote treaty at least cleared the way for f the continuation of the isthmus canal. Porto Rico, it is a pleasure to say, may qow serve as an example of the best methods of administering our insular possessions. So excellent have been the effects of our administration concern ing this island that their very excel lence has resuited in their being al most forgotten by those at home. There is hardly a ripple o£ failure in tbe stream of our success; and so, as is apt to Ue our way, we do not think of it all. First and foremost in Porto Rico we have consistently striven to get the very ~ of the asland. In making appoint ments to the insular service, it is necessary to dtetegara any question or mere party expediency and to look at the matter solely from the standpoint of the honor of ou'r own nation and of the welfare of the island itself.- This has been the standpoint adhered to in selecting the men who represent our government in Porto- Rico—Governor, Treasurer, Attorney GenerHl, judges,. Superintedent of Education—every one. In consequent, all Americans should feel a real pride in the way in which their compatriots who are re sponsible for the government of the island, have administered it. “In Cuba the problom was larger, more complicated and more difficult. Here again we kept our promise abso lutely. - For over three years we admin istered it on a plane higher than it had ever reached before (Hiring the four centuries since the Spanish first IaotW ternationai politics, sne must in inter national affairs be to a degree a part of our political system. TVe expect her to accept a political attitude toward us which we think wisest both for her and us. “Before we start on the construction of the canal, details of cur relations ■with the people owning the soil br»ve to be settled. When this has been done, the first question will come upon choos ing the commission which is to suner- vise the building of the'cans). *HWc,. again, we have to deal with an enter- priss ro vast and so far reaching In its - effect tSat but cns ' thought is' Ssrmls- slcls—how to get, the very best Vun in the nation, -the men Cf the highest en gineering and business administrative ■ skill who will consent to undertake .the work. If-possible I should like to see those men represent different see- tions~£nd different political parties. .. Butvtbese conditions are secondary. The .primary aim must be to get men •. who though able to control much greater salaries than the nation is able JPay. rieverthless ppssoss the pa triotism and the healthy ambition which will make them willing to put .. their talents at the government’s service. .The Spanish war itself was an easy •task, but it left us certain other tasks upon Its shores. We brought moral and physical cleanliness into the government. We stamped out yellow fever, in itself an inestimable service, both to the Cuban people and to the people of our own Southern States. We estab lished a school system. We made life and property secure, so that industry could again begin to thrive. Then, when we had laid deep and broad the foundations upon .which civil liberty and national independence must rest, we turned the island over to the hands of those v/hom the people had chosen as the founders of a new i;epublic. Cu ba must always be related to us in in- which were much more difficult. One of these tasks was that of dealing with the Philippines. The easy thing to do —the thing appealed not only to lazy and selfish men, hut to very many good men whoso thought did not drive them down to the root of things—was to leavfe the islands. Had we done this a period of wild chaos would have su pervened and then some stronger pow er would have steppod in and seized the island and have taken up the task which we, in such a case, would have flinched from performing. A less easy, but infinitely more absurd course, would have been-to leave the islands ourselves and at the same time assert that we would not permit any one else to interfere with them. This particular course would have combined all the possible disadvantages of every other course which was advocated. It would have placed us in a humiliating posi tion, because when the actual test came it would have boen quite out of the question for us, after some striking deed of savagery had. occurred in the. islands, to stand by and prevent the re-entry of civilization into them; v/hile the mere fact of our having threatened thus to guarantee the local tyrants and wrong-doers against out side interferences by ourselves or others, would have put a premium upon every species of tyranny and an archy within the islands. “Finally, there was the course which we adopted, not an easy course, one fraught with danger and difficulty. We made up our minds to stay in the isl ands, to down violence, to establish peace and order, and then to introduce a just and wise civil rule accompanied by a measure of self-government which should increase as rapidly as the isl anders showed themselves fit for it. Well, it was certainly a formidable task, but think of the marvelously successful way in which it has been ac complished. The first and vitally im portant foature was the establishment of the supremacy of the American flag and this had to be done by the effort of thise gallant fellow-Americans of ours to whom so great a debt is due the offi cers and enlisted men of the United States army, regulars and volunteers alike. In a succession of campaigns, carried on in unknown tropic jungles against an elusive and treacherous foe, vastly outnumbering them, under the most adverse conditions of climate, weather and country, our troops com- DlcnteIy broke the power of this insur gents, smashed' their armies and har ried the robber bands into submission. I do not refer to the Morosy with whom we have exercised the utmost forbear ance, but who may force us to chastise them if they persist in attacking our troops. Among the Filipinos proper, however; peace has come; “Step by step, as the army conquer ed, the rule of the military was sup planted by the rule of the civil authori ties,'the soldier, was succeeded by the civilian magistrate. The utmost care has been exercised in choosing the best type of Americans for the high civil positions, and the actual work of ad ministration has been so far as pos sible by native Filipino officials serv ing under these Americans. Our suc cess has been wonderful. No country lias a more upright or abler body of officials than Governor Taft, Vice Gov ernor Wright and their associates and subordinates in the Philippine Islands. It was, of course, inevitable that there should be occasional failure, but it is astonishing how few these have been. Each^inhabitant of ,the Philippines is now guaranteed his civil and religious rights—his rights to ligg^personal lib erty and the pursuit of happHft£ss, sub- TARIFES MD FARMEES w hatthe dincley UAW HAS done FOR AGRICULTURE; Ib e improvement In Agricultural Value# •: and Incomes *9 Compared W ith Previous Depths of Depression Can Only Ce SCeasnred by 'Billions of Dollars. There are to-day over 6,000,000 farms In the United States and fully 30,000,- 000 of our people are supported by agriculture. The prosperity or ad versity of this great class must affect largely the remainder of the people as In turn the farmers themselves are affected by the prosperity or adversity of those living in towns and cities. It must be admitted that our farm prod ucts have not always been fully pro jected even under protective tariffs, while under our free trade laws the farmer has always been a special vic tim. But under the Dingley law they have not only had ample direct pro tection for each and every product, but such indirect results from the protec tion of all of our industries and labor that they have prospered tp a most wondrous degree. What protection has accomplished for our agriculture can be seen from a comparison of values in 1S96 and 1901, for it is values, not quantities, that reward the farmers’ labor. The free trader snearingly asks, “Can the tariff affect the farmers’ crops?” “Yes,” we answer; “the tariff affects them most materially, not the number of bushels,- but the number of dollars.” This is shown in the following table of values: joct only to not infringing^ on the rights of others. It is worth^safithing that already the Philippine people Kw received a greater share of self-govern ment; that they have more to say as to how they shall be governed than is the case with the people in the Orient, under European rule. In short, we are governing the Filipinos primarily in their interest and for their very great benefit. It would be hard to find in modern times a better example of suc cessful executive-statesmanship. Final ly, in the Philippines, as in Cuba, the instances of wrong-doing Iby either our; civil or military representatives have been astonishingly few and punishment 1 has been meted with even-handed jus tice to all offenders.I^means Thcaw akenin{^^^ very much to all the nations of Chrl endom, commercially, no less than po^ iitically, and it would be short-sighted statesmanship on our part to refuse to take the necessary steps for securing a proper share for our people of this com mericial future. The possession of the Philippines has helped us, as the securing of tbe open door in China has helped us. Already the government has taken the necessary steps to pro vide for the laying of a Pacific cablo under conditions which safeguard ab solutely the interest of the American public. Our commerce with the East is growing rapidly. Events have abun dantly justified, alike from the moral and material standpoint, all tiiat'.w;c have done In tho far East as a sequel to our war with-Spain.” The Value of Honesty. William Alden Smith of Michigan, In illustrating' the value of honesty. In !politics, told a; story the other day, of an old governor of Michigan, who borame a candidate on condition, that he should not be asked to make speeches. An occasion soon arose, however, when the regular orators were absent from a meeting, and the crowd insisted on bearing from the candidate himself. He walked to the front and bravely announced that he was ro speaker, with considerable repetition, an^ after a little halting proceeded to talk for three-quarters o: an hour. When the meeting was ere? the candidate had- quite come to the conclusion that he was a speaker after cJl, and especially did he feel so when an old farmer came up to him to say that, although a lifelong Demo crat, he had decided as a result of what he had heard to vote this time for the Republican candidate. Before the latter, in his blushes, could Statfr mer out a response, the farmer cOn* tmued: “What we want as governors is honest men. You are one. You said Uiat you were no speaker. You told the truth. I shall vote for you.1 —New York Post.

Now let us look at'a crop,-the pro duction of which is governed to a large extent by demand. In 1S96 the production of cigar leaf tobacco was 77.000,000 pounds; iu 1901 it was 131,- 444,050 pounds and commanded a sub stantial increased price. Our cigar output in 11)01 Was 6,475,538,411, ngainst 4.237,755,0±3 in 1S06. The increased demand being due, of course, to the prosperous condition of the people. For cigar smoking is a luxury which is governed by ability to buy both in quantity and quality. We have shown the* effect of prote^ tion upon certain ^roduct^^j "" affectcd by one thsre was byJ32a^pi5diict that was made free Ivilson-Gorraan free trade tariff End given ample protection by the DingIey law. For some unknown rea son free traders hate American sheep and wool and always make our wool a special object of attack when tinker ing with, the tariff. Well, we had free wool for three years, and during that time imported S00,000,000 pounds, about as much as we produce our selves. The result was disastrous to our wool farmers and of no benefit to our manufacturers. The sheep of 1S93 were worth $125,000,000; of 189(i, $65,- 000,000; of 1001, $134,000,000. The medium jWool of worth 4Wfity-four cents a pound; of 1896, nineteen cents a pound; of 1899, thirty- three'and a half cents a pound, and even in 1901, when the price was at the lowest figures abroad ever known, it was worth, in the United States, twenty-seven cents a pound. It must be considered that there has been a great overproduction in the woolen industry and also that we have not yet used up all the great quantity of wool imported during 1S95-6-7. And yet our farmers have seen their sheep double and treble in value, and they have got profitable prices for their wool. Thus protection Iielps the farmer, both directly. and. indirectly, and his condition in 1896 and 1901 showed such r contrast that the “American Agri- ecillurist,” in its issue of October 19, IHOV said: “AU history affords ho precedent for so remarkable a transformation. It is shown also. by the, degree to which farm mortgages have been paid up, and by the substantial improvements that have been made in farm buildings and equipment, and by the strong up ward tendency to the. value of farm lands, especially in tiie Central and Western States. “Even billions of dollars can inade quately express the improvement in agricultural values and incomes com* pared to th<? depths of the late depres sion. And because farmers avo in this prosperous condition, and because fhr ,7 are the greatest consumers of mans* factures. the industrial outlook Is gen erally satisfactory and encouraging.” Not. ouly hnvg .our farmers paid up or greatly reduced their inortgases and made vast .improvements in "thei? property, but they are indulging in tlie good things of life which the farmers of other countries know nothing of. In a recent weekly review R. G. -Dun & Co. said: “The movement of luxuries to the West is* unprecedented.” Pianos; bicycles, phonographs, all kinds of musical instruments, toys, books, mag; azmes, furniture, fine clothing, etc., etc., all find a good market in our rural homes.” Our farmers are now selling about a billion dollars* -worth* of products abroad, which is aboht ten per cent, of their total production. For some unaccountable reason our Census and Agricultural 'Department statisticians have never given the farmer credit .for his work. The cen sus of 1890 valued our farm products at only $2,460,107,454, which is too small by half. Our farm products to day are worth $8,000,000,000 or $9,000,- 000,000. Even the census of 1900 'wttl concede a value of But most statisticians do not consider that the farmer and his family consume anything themselves, while it is a fact that the American farmer’s family is the most bountiful liver of any people on earth. Consider the meat and fowls, the butter and eggs and milk and cheese^ the potatoes and other vegeta bles, the corn and wheat and rye and oats, all the products of the farmer that go on to his table and into his barn, and remember there are 30,000,- 000 who consume as much as the re maining. 48 ,000,000 of our people, for the farmer’s table does not weigh or measure or, count, but is always filled with enough and to spare. Consider all this and it will be seen that the products of agriculture sold and con sumed by tbe farmers are near, If not quite, $9,000,000,000 111 value. Protection has not only given the increased purchasing power to the masses, enabling them to consume lib erally. of. the farmers’ products at equitable prices, but it tends constantly to diversification, and the result is seen year after - year as the farmer experiments and succeeds iu varying his crops. Sugar beets are a single instance, and in a year or two there will be a home market for $50,000,000 worth of beets if we do not tinker with the existing Iawr and adopt free trade in the guise of reciprocity. Diversifi cation is of great advantage, too, when a single crop fails, for the remaining crops with enhanced prices make up for the short crops. The. future of the United States farmer uuder continued protection has no limits. With our great home mar ket increasing rapidly every year and the. increased demand from abroad, our agriculture is bound to rciicb enor mous proportions. Then in turn comes the increased consumption by the farmers of manufactures, both in nec essaries and luxuries, the lessened labor but enlarged results of improved machinery, and implements all adding to the general welfare and making the farmer’s fields-a paradise, his home a palace and his life one of constant contentment and happiness. With an !isthmian canal, a merchant marine, oar constantly extending free rural mail delivery, our agricultural experi ment stations, irrigation for the arid lands of the West, increased railroad and shipping facilities and reduced freight rate and the ever increasing consumption of products at home by n well employed, w.ell paid people-all the direct and indirect outcome of pro tection—the man must be an idiot who will ask, “Of what good is the Dingley law to. the farmer?” As we are writing and reading these lines the farmers of the West are fighting for men to help them gather their crops. They are offering as high as $3.50 a day and “five meals,” as one report puts it. And then these very workers get into the spirit, and next year many of then} will Hb'tenant farmers, and in a -few years will be hustling themselves to get help to gather their own crops on their own farms. Such are the blessings of tection to the farmers of States. .^ ^ ^ T n ite d Repetition of 1S93 ] I: Si ______ o t ITantetl. Tju's that in cays of prosperity it is nicc to have fat steels just as he knew iu the soup days of the Wilson bill it was expensive to have cattle that ate feed and brought nothing in the market. If the farmer is to-be confronted by a serious de mand for a lower tariff on cattle he is not likely to embark more largely in cattle raising. His _beefi steers cannot be raised In a summer and sold In the fall. He must be sure of the eoudi- tiens to prevail in the country for at least three or four years before be will come to the rescue.

SOUTflERNINDUSTRIAL African Cotton. Under date of August I there was telegraphed from Philadelphia a story published in one of the local papers to the effect that options had been ob tained on 50,000 square miles in the “cotton zone” of Africa, where cot ton plantations would be established to meet the competition of the South. This story Went on to say that cer tain great financiers of England in terested In South Africa were con nected with this scheme, which, it was predicted, was -of such gigantic proportions as to threaten the su premacy of the United States as a producer of the staple. The names of Lord Kitchener and Earl Roberts are also linked with the scheme. On its face-the story was a dream,, and it was denied within forty-eight hours after Its first publication. That the growing of cotton in Africa may be extended is a possibility. That its ex tension shall threaten the supremacy of the United States is a very distant contingency, and an utter impossi bility should the cotton-grower of America adopt more generally the pol icy of increasing the production of the staple per acre along with the natural increase of acreage devoted to the crop. v. • A $100,000 Addition. The management of the Standanl Cotton Mills, Cedartown, Ga., has fot some time past been contemplating the establishment of an additional mill which should utilize the lower grades of cotton. r Wm. Parker, the company's manager, has returned from a trip to Boston, and states that while in that city he placed the order for this additional plant The addition al building required will be 75x300 feet in size, and its equipment will manufacture the coarse number oi yarns, the output each week to bo about 20,000 pounds. This important addition will enabla the cotton-grow* ers in the vicinity of Cedartown to dispose of their crop at acceptable prices, whereas heretofore there has been no local demand for coarsa grades. The Standard- Cotton Mills; present plant has 12,500 spindles and manufactures extra carded double- woven mule-spun hosiery yarns. It is capitalized at $100,000. The Drayton Mill. The Drayton Mills of Spartanburg, S. C., which was reported at some length last month, is now laying tbe foundation for its building. It has been decided that 12,440 spindles ami about SCO looms will constitute th'J principal textile equipment, and thaf fine goods shall he manufactured. I?. J. O. Smith is the contractor for the buildings, and, as stated several weeks ago, the main structure will lie three stories high, 150x205 feet;, the power-house will be 67x106 feet. Arch B.

In a clash between striking mine workers and deputies here, Patrick Sharp, a Btriker of Lansford, was shot and kill ed almost instantly by a deputy. The shooting caused considerable excite ment for a titne, but order was soon restored without any other persons be ing injured and the town is now Quiet. A deputy, named Harry McBlmoyle1 was arrester charged with the killing of Sharp, and was taken tp the county jail at Mauch Chunk. The shooting oc curred shortly after 6 o’clock. Five dep uties were on their way to shaft No. I, of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Com pany, just outside of the town. In the centre of the town they were met by a number of strikers who began persuad ing them not to go to the colliery. The officers did not stop, but kept on their way and tried to prevent any trouble. The strikers, it is said, then began to ibiiso the men and followed them near ly up to the colliery. There are conflicting stories as to what actually brought on the clash, but just before the deputies entered the place a shot was fired and Sharp drop ped to the ground. The bullet entered hos body close to his heart and he died almost instantly. ! Witnesses say that the shooting was done by McElmoyie, and that he stood only six or seven feet from Sharp when he fired his revolver. Only one shot was fired. The deputies Immediately withdrew to the colliery and a large crowd gathered about the place. When it was-learned that Sharp was dead, there was the greatest indig nation among the strikers and other town people and for a time it looked as though serious trouble would follow. Cooler heads among the mine workers, however, prevailed upon the crowd to disperse, using the argument that if there is any bloodshed, troqps would surely be sent here from Shenandoah. The crowds dispersed and the town soon calmed dowirto its normal state. Witnesses to the shooting went to the office of W. S. Watkins, a justice of the peace, and .made information against McElmoyie, charging him with the shooting of Sharpe. The justice placed the warrant in the hands of Constable Eckert, who’found McEamoyle at shaft No. I, and accompanied by a guard of other officers took him prisoner to the county jail, at Mauch Chunk. Sheriff J. H. Gambert1 of this (Carbon) county is at Mauch Chunk. It is reported here that he may ask that a detachment of troops now stationed at Shenandoah be sent to the Panther Creek valley. Another version of the encounter says that Sharpe and three friends met the party ot five deputies who were on their way to work and that Sharpe walked up to one of the men, presum ably McElmoyie called him an “unfair worker,” and told him that he would “be more of a man if he did not wear a star.-' He then made a lunge at the officer, whereat the latter drew his re volver and fired and that Sharpe fell to the ground dead.

Lengtheiilng the Tungnes of Bees, When a hundredth part of an Inch mentioned the measure is consid ered hut trivial and of little cons’e- quence, but scientists have figured that if the bee, whose tongue—the extractor of sweetness from the flowers—is but one-twenty-fifth of an inch In length, is capable of obtaining a plentiful store of honey, then a bee with a Iong- tongue must necessarily gather more sweetness. Glever be? keepers, by selecting only those bees with naturally long tongues, have succeeded In lengthening the tongues of a number of bee colonies a hundredth of an inch. It does not sound much, but .it enables these In-, ects to do a quarter as much work again in the same time. Man has done more than this for the bees. He has given them ready homes where they are safe from wasps and other enemies; frames for making their combs without using large quantities of wax for outside walls, and food dur- flowerless weather. He has also brought them to America, where there is an abundance of lioney-bearing flow ers.—The Progressive Farmer. M S J. II. HASKINS.

Success on the farm, like success in any other business, is attained only by much study and hard work, together with some push and a resolute deter mination. Tc be successful In the full est sense of the word, the farmer must call to his aid a few good agricultural papers and books, as well as the exper iment stations. They will all help him in his vocation. One thing more; he ought to join the grange. In farming, as in other business enterprises, strict attention should be given to details, and the little things should not be al lowed to go to waste. Neglecting this many farmers lose enough each year to pay for many necessary tools about the house and barn. Oh many farms there are rough, waste places, that ought by some means to be made productive. Why not have these rough lots in a sheep pasture, or planted to quick-growing trees that will be making valuable tim ber? Something should be done each season to improve the farm, using every means at command to add to It: fertility. By proper care it need not Iteeom.? exhausted. It is possible to have the farm cons taut Iy-growing bet ter, and this should be the policy of every farmer. For many years the writer has been improving his acres', having begun when they were in a wild state without buildings. With his own hands he has cleared it from timber and brush, removed stumps and stones, erected buildings and set out fruit and ornamental trees, grapevines and shrubbery. Trees should be planted every year, and the farm home should be made an attractive dwelling place, and the farmer should be constantly striving for greater success in his busi ness.—F. H. Don, in The Epitomist. once lit the trees oth»i than that of digging ofit with some pointed instru ment-. The adults can be prevented from depositing their eggs to a great extent upon trees by painting them with a thick solution of whale oil soap or some other, material of like charac ter, In which, a small quantity of car bolic acid has been added. Trees can also be protected by slightly fine w in netting or even by tying newspapers or other material of this sort about the trunks,—American Agriculturist, Com bating: O nion Tlit-Ipa.

The monkey begged to be released on the score of his insignificance, and prom ised to show the tiger where he might find a more valuable prey. The tiger complied, and the monkey conducting him to a hillside where an ass w as. feeding—an animal which the tiger had never before seett, “My good brother,” said the asS to the monkey, “ hitherto you have al ways brought me two tigers. How Is it that you have brought me only one 'to-day?” The tiger fled for his life. Thus a ready wit wards off danger. The principle of the next fable the Chinese always apply to the European instructors in the art Of war, A tiger, finding a cat very prolific in devices for catching game, placed himself under her instruction. At length he was told there was nothing more to be learned. “Have you taught me all your tricks?” “Yes,” replied the cat. . “Then,” said the tiger, “you are of no further use, and so I shall eat you.” The cat, however, sprang lightly into the branches of a tree_ and smiled at the tiger’s disappointment. She had not taught the tiger all her tricks. very slender and pale yellow in color. Ope of'The creatures is shown in our illustration, greatly enlarged, repro duced from . an original drawing by Professor B.'H. Pettit, of the Michigan Agricultural College. These insects feed also upon bluc-grass, timothy, wheat, cabbage, turnips, melons and a large number of other field plants. It passes the winter in the young stage, and may be found in matted grass on the top of onions left in the field at the time the crop is gathered. In the application of remedies it must be remembered that this pest breeds primarily on plants growing on uncultivated lands ‘In and -near onion fields. For this" reason fields adjoining blocks ef onions should be kept culti vated and as free as possible from plants on which the pest breeds. AU culls, tops and other refuse from onion fields should be burned in the fall af ter the crop is gathered. The young thrips work largely about the base of the leaves. Owing to the peculiar growth of the plant it is difla- cult to reach these pests with an ordi nary spray, especially when onions are well developed. Treatment Is there fore desirable while the plants are still young. From tests made by Professor Webster in Ohio he found that a mix ture of one pound of Whale oil soap dis solved in eight gallons of water and sprayed on badly infested onion plants August 9 gave very good results. Pro fessor Pettit, of Michigan, used kero sene emulsion, while Dr. Feit, of New York, applied a mixture of one pound of good hard soap in five gallons of water. - Whatever spray is used the plant should he thoroughly drenched, as the insects are killed only where the mix ture comes in contact with their bod ies. Often a heavy drenching rain will materially check them for a short time. Great care should be taken about cultural methods, or beeping the condi tions surrounding the onion field in good shape, so as not to afford a breed ing place for insects during the early part of the season. The prompt de struction of all refuse matter after the crop is gathered is desirable. — New' England Homestead. A N I T A L I A N C A P T A I N Cured by Pe=ni=M of Catarrh of the Stomach After Doctors Failed. Hon. J1 D1 Botkin, Congrefisman from Kansas, Writes an Interesting Letter. * H ow to Tell a F eralan Raff* A great many people flatter them selves that they are able to tell a genuine Persian rug from a spurious, Inachine1Ziiade one by touch, but in this they deceive themselves. The best and surest way to tell a genuine from an imitation Persian rug is by the fol lowing: If one will look close he will ob serve that in the genuine Persian rug the intricate and complicated pattern or design is not altogether symmetri cal, the corresponding flowers, vines, or geometrical figures of one side be ing a little out of line, larger or small er, or not meeting, and joining with figures on the corresponding detail on the opposite side of the rug. This is owing to the fact that in hand-weaving it is impossible to obtain perfect sym metry of patterns, especially when the designs are so complicated as they are on Persimi rugs. On the other hand, let one examine closely the ma chine-made rug, and he will find the most perfect symmetry of pattern, so Iiuch so, In fact, that the design looks positively rigid and harsh. This is & pretty safe guide, and if observed one will seldom mistake an imitation tor a genuine Persian rug. CAPTAIN BERTOLErITO. Captain 0. Bertolet to, of th e Italian Barque “ L incelles,” in a re c e n t letter from th e ch ief office of the Italian Barque Lin- Celles, Pensacola, Fla., writes: ‘•I have suffered fo r several years w ith chronic catarrh o f the stom ach.

Destroying Anplo Tree Borers. Apple trees are frequently seriously infested by beetles known as ‘ apple trefe borers. There have been three distinct species which have been very destructive to young and old apple trees. The round-headed borer shown In our illustration at c is one of the worst enemies of the apple. It is not I l W .a t d # C P XFPIiE TEEE BOBEBS. seen, however, so frequently as the flat-headed borer shown below at b. The other beetle, at the lower lefbhand comer, is occasionally seen, and is known as the spotted-apple tree borer. It is less frequently seen than either of the others. These beetles can be de tected usually hy the peculiar sawdust like castings which the worms throw out from the entrances of their bur row-s. Sometimes there is a slight dis coloration-in the bark where one of these pests is working. There may also be a slight exudation of sap. The adult beetle of the round-headed borer usually emerges from the trunks of the trees early in June. Eggs are laid shortly afterward on apple trees, and the young begin their work of destruc tion as soon as they hatch. It requires three years for the young of these creatures to reach maturity. It is sometimes found in quince, pear and thorn trees. The flat-headed borer has a peculiar liking for trees that have been injured or diseased. It attacks all parts of the tree from the base of the trunk to the limbs. It confines its injury to .fruit trees, but is.founa also In a variety Of deciduous trees. The young live most ly just beneath the. bark, where they excavate fiat, irregular channels. Some times it burrows into the sap wood, but this does not frequently occur. The burrowing habit is, however, char acteristic of the round-headed borer. The flat-headed borer is a very serious enemy of young trees shortly after they are set out. The adult beetles are about one-half inch long, of a dark, metallic brotyn color, rather flattish, as shown IirA e picture. They emerge from the tries most abundantly in •Tune and .idly. Sometimes they are as late as September, remedy has been insects whsu they are Mowing Awacv IZnv. In the days when we put in our hay by hand, pitching it into the bays by the -forkful, this was not so much of a problem as 1101/, when most oft it goes in in great heaps dumped into the mows with the home fork. Then the bay was lifted up flake by flake and tossef lightly over the bay evenly.

As ordinarily mowed away it As a hard job to get hay out of the mow where the horse fork Is used. Gener ally there will be one Ihonstrous heap in the centre of the hay, where the load comes down with a 'force that shakes the whole barn. From this as a start ing point, as much of the mass as . can be handled before the next load eoines up is rolled in a tangled pile toward the outside of the mow. Usually not more than half of the hay brought-up at once is thus leveled when np comes another load, to be thrown on the-top of what was left over, adding to the burden of thte hands; In the mow- and still further increasing the labors of the man who is so unfortunate as to lie compelled to pitch it out next win ter. Now, there is a right-way and a wrong way even to inowing away hay. No one needs to be told which we have been describing. It is decidedly wrong to stack hay up in'the barn in any suel) method. There should be help enough in the mow to care properly for each fork I'u I as it comes up. It short- handed the teams should .wait until the men have had time to put. away the load first dumped.. .Bvery forkful should be detached from the rest and mowed away, care being taken to, keep the outside the highest.^. It ought not to be allowed to roll great massds of twisted and tangled hay on into one corner of the mow, to remain a neyer ending source of trouble until .the last forkful has been fed out ■ ? It is not such a hard piece of business to mow hay away after this, method. Two good' hSnds Will just about keep1 up with the ordinary horse fofk in the bay of common size, and the hay thus stored will come out enough better tc pay for all the time and trouble taken iu putting it in as it should be. Every body, knows what a hard task it is to tug away at a lot of hay bound in by allowing one forkful after anothei to fall into the mow. How tired we come out of the bay, and how we resolve that hereafter there shall be no more such work! This is the year to begin Tight. Start Tight and stick to it all the way -through.—B. L.

To No. I, we’ll say, he as signs the United*States; to No. 2, Eng land; to No. 3, Scotland; to No. 4, Ire land; to No. 6, Germany; to No. 6, Russia; and so on until every player has a country. When that has been done the play ers should refrain from talking for a while, so that they may do a little thinking, and you know very well thai If you keep on talking to each other there" will be no chance to think. But when the thinking is over you may talk as much as you please. The thinking is to be a little test of your knowledge of geography, for the leader is going to call on you, skip ping about from one to another, and when you are called you have to rise and give the name of a river In the country that you represent. For example, the Leader says, “Let us hear from Germany," and the play er, to. - whom Germany -has been as signed rises and says, “My name is Rhine, and I am a river of Ger many.” Now, as you cannot tell when yon may be called on, you must think of your river as soon after you get your country as possible. found develo ound for .

This is a case of catarrh of the stomach which had run for twenty-five years, according to his statement, and Pcruna has at once come to his relief, promptly aceom- I plishing for him more benefit than he had j been able to find in all other remedies dur- J ing a quarter of a century. It stands to reason that a man of wealth and influence, like a Congressman of the great United States, lias left no ordinary means untried and no stone unturned to find a cure. If such cures as these do not verify the claim not onlv that dyspepsia is due to catarrh of the stomach, but also that Penma will cure catarrh of the stomach, it is impossible to imagine how any evidence could do so. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you 'his valuable advice gratis.

It certainly reflects the irony of fate, and the beauty ot W hite Su premacy that the ministers of the gospel who prayed in vain at the Tenth congressional district con- vention at Hendersonville last week that its deliberations might result properly, is disfranchised under the poll tax seetion of the consti tutional amendment.—Gazette, The Democratic spell binders told the people in 1900 that no white man would be disfranchised by the amendment; yet here is a preacher the presumption is, that he is au educated man, opening the Democratic convention with pray ers, yet he will not be able to east a vote, by reason of his disfran chisement under the poll-tax. clause. The question is, will the people continue to be fooled by the ,Eastern Maehii e manipulators to their undoing f The 2&000 or more white men who will stand aside with ex-convicts in November, will answer when they get a chance.
