FIGHTING THE TRUSTS.

Sundays New York Herald gives the
career Of Attorney General Maloney, of
Illinois, who is known as the Nemesis Of
trusts He has successfully prosecuted
the Pullman Palace Car Company, the
Valley Coal Company, the American
Building, Loan and Investment Com
pany, and banks doing business without
charters. In addition to these bis great
est victory was gained in securing a dis
solution of the Whiskey Trust. He is
an Irishman and was elected in 1892 on
the ticket with Governor Altgeld.
He is a brave and resolute man, ard
now the U. s. Secretary Of Agriculture
depends upon him to convict the big
packing establishments Of Chicago for
an Illegal combination that put up the
price Of beef.
Looking over the country, Mr.. Maloney
seems to be about the only public officer
who has shown the true Democratic
spirit of hostility to trusts. May his ex-
ample be emulated!

PROFITS OF THE SYNDICATE.

The New York Tribune figures up the
profits of the Belmont Morgan syndicate
which went ont of business Saturday at
So, 161, $50. This is much smaller than
has been generally supposed, but it may
be that the cost of supplying gold to the
Treasury reduced the contemplated big
profits. The Pittsburg Dispatch figures
the profits of the syndicate to be four
million dollars and says that "the profits
to individual members of the syndicate
will probably never be known" The
New York World figures "the govern
ment loss and bankers gain" at $40, 822,-
$50. The Herald puts the profits at
81, $3.50. 313.

THE RADICAL BLUE BOTHER
GETS IN HIS WORK.

Thus ended the contemplate con-
spiracy against the life Of the two grand
old parties-a conspiracy in the name of
patriotism, engineered by the iackals of
both parties who fear to lead in a right,
and have net the courage to sop their
cohorts in time to save the innocents.
Mole ruit sua. YAHOO.
The above is the closing paragraph Of
four,aDd a-half column communication
dated Raleigh, Sept. %, that appeared
in Sundays Charlotte bserver 1t pur-
ported to be a humorous account of the
Silver Convention that is called to meet
in Raleigh this week.
While the News AND OBSERVER is in
accord with the action of the State De
mocratic Executive Committee, held in
Raleigh, May goth, in believing that no
necessity exists for holding a silver con
vention in the State this year, thispaper
cannot permit a nameless scribe to call
the promoters Of the convention
'jackals" and "conspirators" without
an expression of indignant rebuke If
the rumor of the authorship Of the com
munication be correct, it will no toccasion
any surprise that such Democrats as
Jarvis, Carr, Cooke, Smith, Ashe,
Broughton, and others should be
called ''iackalsn by discredited, lifelong
Republicans. No Democrat not ready
to plume his flight to greener pastures,
would characterize the honest and
well meaning action OF these gentlemen
as a contemplate conspiracy" or
the men engaged in this movement as
"jackals.
The article not only ridicules and slam
ders such men as we have named, but
many other Democrats who, while he
lieviDg in silver, have not approved the
calling of the convention. is purpo-eis
therefore shown to b. to hold up
all advocates of silver as "con-
spirators and "jackals," and thus
fly blow as many Democrats as possible.
This is the policy Of wisdom for Repub-
lican politicians who see in the division
in Democratic ranks, which they thus
try to create, and the gullioility Of some
the opportunity Of coming into power
Of the Populists and the venaltty OF others,
again. These Republicans know that the
men from whom they have the most
to fear are the consistent Dsmo-
Gratis who are standing by the
cause Of silver just as the whole party in
the State has stood by it since 1873. 1t
is these consistent men, whose Democracy
was learned in the schools of Jefferson
and Jackson, whom the Republicans
fear. Hence they hold them up to ridi
cule and contempt, and seek to destroy
their influence by wanton misrepresen-
tation. You rarely hear one OF these
fellows criticize gold bug Democrat for
the reason that they know their policy
is helpful to Republican success. The
men they attack are the men they fear.

A FORWARD MOVEMENT.

n
The management of the News AND
OBSERVER has been highly gratified at
the increase of patronage which has
marked the improvements in the paper.
1t is our purpose to make the News
AND OBSERVER a paper in every way
worthy of the State and to make such
improvements from time to time as the
business of the paper will justify.
At meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors yesterday afternoon it was resolved
to equip the News AND OBSERVER office
with Mergenthaler Linotype machines,
of which there are now more than 8, 900
in use. Careful investigation has been
made into the various makes Of type
setting machines, with the view to secur-
ing the fastest and best, and the Limo
type has been adopted. Indeed it has
no competitor and has supplanted in
many of the larger Offices machines of
inferior makes, but in not single in
stance has the Linotype been displaced
by any other machine.
1t is the ouly machine run by a single
operator the only machine that enables
an Office to do away with the purchase
of body type and produce new and clean
faces for each issue; by the use of the
Linotype the operator can change face
and measure at will and an expert
operator can set from 1000 to 5000 ems
per hour, and each machine has the ca
pacity to produce above $500 ems per
hour. An average printer sets 5000 to
5000 ems per day by hand. This COM
parison shows the utility of these ma
chimes, and the opportunity they afford
of greatly increasing the quantity Of
reading matter without increased cost.
We have faith in the future of North
Carolina journalism. In one year the
expenses of this paper have increased
fifty per cent, and the receipts have
more than kept pace with the expendi
lures. We believe that with the improved
facilities for making better paper, the
patronage will be greatly increased, and
this faith is based on the experience Of
the last year.
The demand for the Linotypes is so
great that it will be several months be-
fore the machines ordered by the NEWS
AND OBSERVER can be supplied, but by
Christmas we expect to be fully equipped
with these machines which have become
necessity in the establishment of every
progressive daily newspaper.
The News AND OBSERVER is trying to
be true to the command, THAT they go
forward y

A Pin i'm q Child'S Lung.

New York, Aug. 30-Throat Sur
geon Thomas Cleary of the Brooklyn
Throat hospital performed very rare
operation recently on child two and
one-half years of age. He removed a
pin from the left lung, which had
caused emphysema, or air under the
skin. The mother noticed the child
playing with shawl pin 2 IL inches
long and took it from her, but shortly
afterwards the child began to cough
Two doctors made an examination but
decided there was no obstruction in
the throat. Next day swelling APP
peared all over the body, and it was
evident that the lung had been pune
tured and air had escaped under the
skin. Septic pneumonia also develop
ed and it was decided to perform an
operation.
Every time the child breathed the
air swelled under the skin on the back
and front of the body. Each succeed
ing examination by the finger had
forced the pin, which had been swal-
lowed head downward, further down
the bronchial tube, until at the bifur-
cation. . r ScnaratiOn of the bronchial
tube, the pin had punctured the left
lung. An incision two inches long
was made and the cause of the trouble
located. DR.. Cleary believes in the
child's ultimate recovery. A special
instrument, made for removing a cork
| from the throat of minister in Brook.
| Ign four years ago, was used.

Lumber Going South.

six vessels loading at the Tacoma mill
and they are all going to San Pedro.

lumber vessel clears for that port, but
still the demand increases. San Pedro
is a distributing point for Lower Cali
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, and sew
eral other points, and there is evident
ly some building being done.

piled mountain high with lumber, and
