DEATH OF MR.. TUCKER.

Our dispatches last night bring us the
news of the death at his home in Lexing-
ton, Va, Of Hon. John Randolph Tucker.
To say that he was among the foremost
Of Virginians were perhaps tribute
enough. 1t is quite likely that, as law
yer, he was the foremost Virginian.
His life had been one of gradual growth
and almost perfect fruition; for ne was
lawyer, statesman, scholar and Chris
tian of exalted type,
Sprung from an ancestry possibly the
most distinguished in his State, he was
yet above all things, man of the
people, after the feeling and thought of
jefferson.
As a constitutional lawyer in Congress,
he was considered by his colleagues I'M
equalled. At the most brilliant moment
Of his career, he stepped aside for the
son who succeeded him, and with the
worthinesS of Lee, his hnsman, he took
up his quiet walk in the class room of
Washington and Lee University, spend
ing his closing years in that tranquil
light that always crowns so impressively
the career of a man who is really great.

HOW TRUSTS OPERATE.

1t is stated that Mr.. Rays bill, cop!
of the Georgia ANTITRUST law, has bee
adversely reported. We do not knoy
about the objections raised to the bill
but we know it is trust killer. Ant
that is what is wanted IN North Caro-
lima The trusts are the bane of tn
country. The Atlanta Journal gives
good pointer:
How trusts can extort artificial
profits and how prices fan under COM
petition, is shown strikingly by the re-
cent break in the steel rail combin-
alton and the immediate result. Last
Monday steel rails were quoted IN
Chicago at SIG a ton.
THE next day rupture occurred
in the pool and the price went down
rapidly. Steel rails in Chicago have
already fallen to SIS ton, reduc-
ton of more than 30 per cent. since
last Monday.
THE very concerns which are now
offering steel rails at SIS, recently
begged for a higher rate Of protec-
ton to their product, when they were
getting 500 a ton"

bull-dozed or silenced The editors of the
State are still in close touch with the
people. They live among them. They
know how they feel about this lease.
They know that there is nothing in the
proposition before the Legislature ex-
cept provisions to institute legal pro-
ceedings to annul the lease. and. as an
adjunct to such annulment, to put the
Southern Railway under the control Of
the State authorities.
There is danger that citizen of Raj
eigh, or legislator who sees few visitors
to the city except paid lobbyists. may he
beguiled into thinking that the people
in their stores in their workshops and
on the farms think like the voluble paid
lobbyists who come to Raleigh on free
passes. They are talking for pay But
the people have no lobby. They look to
their elected representatives to vote to
let the courts pass upon the lease. That
is all that anybody asks. If the courts
say the lease is invalid, then by advertis-
ing for bids the State is certain to get
at least $4,000 more per annum than
the Southern agrees to pay. If there is
no legal method Of setting aside the pres
cnt lease, then we will have to sit still
for a century and see $4,000 annually
that ought to go into the Treasury go to
enrich the Southern Railway.
One thing is certain: If this Legsla-
ture refuses to permit the courts to pass
upon the lease, it will do so in the face
of the protests of the unpurchasable
press of North Carolina
In this crisis the press has shown itself
the champion Of the peoples interests,
and has covered itself with honor.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1897-02-14

certainly the best semi-weekly in the
East, in its issue of yesterday speaks
out clearly in these words:
''The lease ought to be annulled,
and if it is not done it is probable that
few who vote against the bill will ever
be returned to the Legislature. NO
MEMBER WHO VOTES IN FA-
VOR OF THE RAILROAD AND
AGAINST THE PEOPLES IN
TERESTS SHOULD EVER
ANY POSITION BY THE VOTES
OF NORTH CAROLINIANS."
We have not space to print all the ex-
tracts Of like tenor. These expressions,
above quoted and those in our supple
ment to-day, show that the papers of the
State stand where they stood when they
protested against the making of this lease
for ninety years. If it was wrong
to make the lease in 1895, without adver-
Using for competitive bids, there is still
more reason now why it should be set
aside when it has been established, by
bona fide bid from a great and re-
snonsible railroad company, that the
rental Of the road will bring at least
$4,000 a year more than the Southern
agrees to give.
While lobbyists by the hundred have
been imported to Raleigh to convince
legislators that it is their duty to vote
to put $4,000 a year for ninety-nine
years into the pockets of the Southern
Railway that ought to 90 to relieve the
taxes of the people, it is gratifying to
! know that the press cannot be bought.

THREE WORTHY LEADERS.

Father Creecy, of the Elizabeth City
Economist, defending the State from TIN
criticism that North Carolina is untrd,
to its own sons, says with much force:
North Carolina is now under the
ban of Republican rule, and her best
sons are ostracised in the homo IF
their loved mother. They are out of
Office, but we are all ready to the
extent of our ability to do them hon
or. If Avery, of Burke, Chas. Ay-
cock, of Wayne, or w. D. Pruden,
of Edenton, were now in the United
States Senate, Vance and Ransom
would not be dishonored in the sue
cession."

to comply with his earnest request. And,
though he did all he could to secure the
ratification in order TO make the lease, as
his attorneys thought valid beyond
question or cavil, the Governor had to
bow to the inevitable when the two mem
bers Of the Board, his own sppointees,
declined TO sanction the hasty and I'LL
advised turning over of the States best
property for century for an inadequate
consideration.
All honor to these gentlemen who had
the courage to stand for right policy
under circumstances of great difficulty
and delicacy!
If in spite of legal suggestion to the
contrary or from other causes Governor
Carr had no doubt as to the validity Of
the lease, without the cooperation of
Messrs. Norris and Beckwith, it follows
that it was quite unnecessary to seek
their good Offices.
If in consequence of legal suggestion
or from other causes Governor Carr had
doubt as TO the validity of the lease,
without the cooperation of Messrs. Nor
ris and BeclQwith, it follows that DE was
doing doubtful act.
And of such doubt the people were
entitled TO the benefit.
We should not have made this refer
enee to these incidents but for the fact
that paid Southern Railway agents and
attorneys, have manifested deep in
terest that the act of Governor Carr
should be endorsed. Some of these attor-
neys have been honored by the party.
If they want TO serve the Southern Rail-
way to the detriment of the people, let
them do it as paid attorneys and not as
Democrats. But let them not
stead the livery of Democracy in which
to do service that will work toward
the undoing OF the party.
In 1872, when the Republicans made
a secret lease there were some Democrat
ic agents of the railroads who went a
round to Democratic legislators and said:
''It will never do to interfere with this
thing. The lease has been made. 1t
wasn't right, but If we agitate it the
stock will go down, the Richmond and
Danville railroad win fight our party,
and we will gain nothing by it." That
was the plausible advice the II. and d.
hirelings then gave the wise Democrats
who composed the Legislature. But
those men, fresh from an oppressed peo-
pie, turned a deaf ear to these paid soph-
istries. The investigation. which was not
creditable to the Republican party, was
made, and the case was carried to the
courts. 1t is true that the Republican
court sustained the Republican directors,
but Justice Bynum wrote an able and I'M
answerable dissenting opinion which is
believed by many able lawyers to be the
true doctrine
The decision of the court in the words
of an eminent Ex-Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, twas a shock to the
conscience of the whole bar of North
Carolina"
The News and Observer prefers to fol-
low the lead and precedent of the Demo
Gratis of 1872; the non-action of the Dem
ocratic State convention; and the refusal
of the Board OF Internal Improvements
TO approve the 99-year lease than to en-
dorse the policy of an Ex-Governor which
was undemocratic, unwise, and hurtful
to the people.

A gentleman who has been inclined to
look with some favor ON the 99-year
lease, tells us that the repeated solicitation
Of Col A. b. Andrews, vice-president,
that the Democrats should stand by the
99-year lease because it win be a reflection
ON the late administration not to uphold
it, has about put him against the lease.
The solicitations Of the yice-president
and others who voted for Mckinley, for
the welfare of the Democratic party, are
too utterly absurd to be discussed.

law in Lexington, Ky. He was then

Refusal to annul the lease is equivalent
