THE WRECK On THE W. n. c.
A FRENZY OF EXCITEMENT AT
WAYNESVELIE.

Narrow Escape of the Passenger Train.
as Reported by the Wa,nesyille Cou-
rier--A Most Distressing sisht-.A
List Of the Wounded.
CONDENSED from Waynesville Courier }
One Of the blocdest wrecks that has
occurred on the Murphy division Of the
". n. Q. railroad since the explosion Of
Mr.. Will James engine on Valley river
took place Monday at 1890 a. N. The
scene of the wreck was three miles above
town. There we're seven cars which were
loaded with logs Five cars were wreck
ed. Another one broke loose ana came
by Waynesville at the rate Of about
seventy five miles an hour It would
have run into the passenger train some
where below town had the passenger
train not been four minutes late, and
had not gentleman who was near the
top heard the passenger train coming
He made good speed until he met it, and
thus many lives were saved.
The people at the depot we're excited
almost into a frenzy. There were sew
eral friends who were expected on the
morning train. The train mad left Clyde
and nothing could be done but to await
patiently the development Of things.
It was not long until rumor announced
an awful wreck about three miles above
town. Doctors were summoned and
the train at last came and stood at the
depot thirty minutes before leaving
During all Of this time men were offer
ing their service, but the men in charge
would not let them go and rescue the
wounded. At last they concentrated
and summoned up courage enough to
take three or four men to help remove
the logs.
It was shameful disgrace to see Bob
Conley, colored, lying under car with
one leg cut almost off, and caught by the
other one, pleading and begging foa help.
It was frightful sight. He was col
cred man, but his life was as dear as
any mans. Then there lay Mr.. Joe
AIRING son. over an embankment, with
with one large log lying upon his foot.
An other log had rolled over him and
| mashed him almost to death. He could
hardly plead for mercy, but was doing
| the best he could.
The accideut was caused by the trair
| running into COW.
The men who had helped load the log;
| were all on the train. They jumped of
as best they could. Conley and AIRING
| ton were the worst hurt The other;
who were injured were Messrs. Ton
Harrison. foot mashed; John Jones, whc
is perhaps fatally injured internally, (th
train was so long reaching the scene tha
Mr.. Jones had to be brought to tow
horse back; E H. Hunneycutt, hurt il
the spine; Jim Thompson, had his wris
thrown out Of place; J. W. Mahaffy, ha
his thumb mashed; Robert Mahaffy, ha'
his shoulder knocked out Of place.

of the people Of this district and | shall
take great pleasure in carrying out the
will Of the people. Senator Vance has
always been the true and tried friend of
the farmers and | believe the time has
come now when be can and will help
them. If any man can do anything fol-
them lie can.
Very respectfully yours,

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES.

The views of the South American trade,
and of the obstacles in the way of our OBJ
tanning fair share thereof. which were
presented in THE DISPATCH a few days
ago, have drawn out some cheering news
upon the question in Washington. Con-
gresham Farquhar, Chairman of the
Merchant Marine Committee, comedies
heartily with The DISPATCH in the belief
that first and foremost OF all plans to obtain
an entrance for the United States into the
South American markets is that providing
for the subsidizing of American lines Of
steamers. To this end bill has been pre-
pared and will be presented to the House
shortly empowering the Government to SUBJ
stantially subsidize AmerIcan-built ships
owned by Americans in the foreign trade,
Senator Frye has similar bill which he
thinks the Senate will surely pass. Other
assistance is to be given American ships in
the foreign trade in the shape of a bounty
for the transportation OF the mails, and this
will be tackled on the appropriation bill fol
the Postal Department. The project ol
taking our share of the Southern trade j:
taking practical shape. Pittsburg's repre-.
sentatives in Congress should remember the
importance of the aforementioned legisla
tion to their constituents.

sideration beside the great political object of
juggling for party advantage and forcing the
opposing party into position supposed to be
transiently unpopular.
The Democratic party in Congress is not
the only, nor the chief, offender in this re-
spect. The course of the Republican leaders
has been a more wanton and reckless asser-
tion of the idea that the judgments AID
convictions of the members must go for
nothing against the party advantage sup
posed to be secured by the behests of the
caucus. This has been the practical atti-
tude assumed by the Republican tactics in
the House this session, from the first contest
over the rules down to the pending an
nouncement that the caucus Federal election
bill is to be put through by that species of
legislative force in which the Speaker is an
adept. The great strength of the Democrats
has been In their continual and earnest pro-
test against any such government of politi-
cal action by the absence of principle; but
when they take their first and only oppor-
tuuitv to enunciate the same theory OF par
tisan control above public interest, it looks
as if they are earnestly bent upon demon
strating that partisan Democracy is exactly
as INSCRIPTIONS as partisan Republicanism.
The expouents of this theory of partisan
ship are unable to perceive that the lesson
of history is when party gets to this pass,
it is on the verge of defeat. This is the in
evitable and legitimate result When
party openly declares that the convictions
of its members as to what is for the public
benefit are to be cast aside for the sake of
temporary advantage, the people have no
option left but to conclude that the party in
power is not a representative of the interests
of the people. The inability of managing
politicians to perceive that TACT is phenom-
email; but it can be explained by the other
fact that the class of politicians now in
charge of partisan organizations. neither
look back lar enough to learn the lesson of
past events, nor forward beyond the present
objects to be grasped by partisan disregard
of principle.

uLEGALITY OF THE TRUSTS.

The New York Court of Appeals has af-
frmed Judge Barrett's decision against the
Sugar Trust in every particular. This was
the only result that could be expected. All
the professions of the Trust lawyers that
they expected the higher courts to sustain
the legality of that combination were
simply put out to becloud the issue. Every
principle of law on which this Government
is founded makes the combinations to
monopolize trade and exclude competition
illegal. Every one connected with the
Trusts knew that they were illegal. Their
impersonal and irresponsible organization
was devised expressly to escape the penal
ties of their iIlegality. The New York de-
cision is the only one that could be made BY
any court, which is not prepared to overset
the constitutional principles of our laws for
the benefit of monopolist wealth.
This aspect of the case shows that the de-
cision does not by any means terminate the
contest. Indeed it only hegins that con-
test. 1t is q new declaration by high au-
thority, of what was well known before,
that combinations in restraint of competi-
ton are illegal. But the Trusts have al
ready, relying upon the power of great
wealth to nullify and defy the law, main
tained their existence with full knowledge
of their illegality. That the attempt to
override the law in order to appropriate for
a privileged class of wealth the profits of an
increased cost OF living for the masses, will
be continued, is beyond question. They
may, as has been proposed in some cases,
try to evade the law by change of name or
an alteration in organization. But the con-
test is vet to be decided whether the courts
and laws are strong enough to force the
miIlionaires into the abandonment of their
efforts to establish illegal monopolies.
The New York decision, as the latest and
one OF the most authoritative declarations
of the illegality of Trusts, emphasizes the
real importance of the question whether the
great combinations of wealth can be made to
obey the laws. But the real decision rests
with the people. If the popular will makes
itself unmistakably clear that the laws as
declared by the courts shall be enforced
against millionaires as rigidly as against
the masses, the Trusts will pass out of exist
ence like an evil dream.
