MIR. ARLISLES ABENEGATION

Recently it has been much bruited
abroad that Ex-Secretary Carlisle
had returned $4,000 check offered
him as retainer in the Chicago lake front
Mr.. Carlisle could not afford to take this
pour bOire as, having been engaged by
Pierpont Morgan, he was a craft that
drew deeper water.
We feel that Mr.. Carlisle has been done
an injustice in this matter, and rise
triumphantly in his defense One would
suppose that Mr. Carlisle was moved to
return this check through mercenary
motives. Not at all. 1t was, no doubt,
remembered that Land Officer Iamoreaux
had his head promptly chopped off be-
cause of his completely in this deal which
was nalodorous with the atmosphere of
fraud. Therefore, when Mr. Carlisle
as counsel, went to the Inter
ior Department to ask for the
Oh IUt ORDER the
case, the story went out by the AssOciat-
ed Press that the Department officials
were greatly surprised' at his action.
Possibly Mr.. Carlsles sense of fitness
having been SO aroused by this sudden
surprise, went further and moved him
to refuse the $4,000 in so questionable
a case. So that it was after all a ques-
ton of honor and not money.
1t is fortunate for Mr. Carlisle that he
ran up IN time against the surprise"
OF the officials, else he might have un-
worthily found himself mixed up in
a questionable transaction.
And while the great American nation
would have brushed the ma liter aside,
there might have been a few cynics
whose thoughts would have gone back TO
the Morgan bond scandal
We congratulate Mr.. Carlisle Oh his
narrow escape, though it cost him SIC, 900
10 save. possibly, his honor.

A LIAR.

We print below an editorial from ;
morning cotemporary as follows:
INADVERTENCY AND PIRACY.
I'VE published in yesterday morn
ings Tribune a splendid account of
the terrible railroad accident on the
Southern on Sunday morning that
should have been credited to the
Charlotte Observer in an extra edi-
tiOn Sunday evening. 1t was a piece
of excellent newspaper work that
ought, and we believe will, be appre-
ciated by its many readers as we'll as
many thousands OF readers outside
its own circulation, as the account of
the accident has gone to the four
quarters of the continent. We con-
graduate our esteemed contemporary
upon it's timely enterprise How
ever. our want of credit was an in
advertency-an overSi ght of the print
er, and not deliberate act of piracy
as perpetrated by the News and OBJ
server, which published the same
thing, word for word, as appeared i'll
The Tribune, and did it under the
head of Special to the News and
Observer" with the exception of a
dozen or 50 lines in the Introductory
In defense of an enterpriSing journal
nal like the Charlotte Observer we
call the public's attention to these
facts"
We have to observe that the man whC
wrote the above editorial is Il liar.

\ CARD FROM MIR. MTNROE.

To the Editor: In your excellent re
port of the argument in the asylum
cases, your reporter fell into one mis-
take. He stated that said if this legiS-
latiOn meant anything, it meant re-
peal of the charter and the abolishment
of the offices, and, that therefore the
time of electing the new officer, was
material. What ! did say was that, if.
as the plaintiff contends. the effect Of this
legislation was to repeal the charters and
abolish the Offices OF these institutions,
then, indeed, was the time of electing the
new officers essential, as the old officers,
in that case, could not hold over, and
these institutions with their thousand or
more unfortunates would have been left
without any one being in care of them.
| do not write this to complain, but to
correct natural mistake, and also to
thank you and your excellent reporter for
his patience and skill exhibited in his
report.
Yours very truly,
W. c. MUNROE.

Health is the best inheritance. II leaves
its influence even to the third and fourth
generation. What greater happiness has
life in store for any man than to live to
green old age surrounded by his children
and his chidren's children, and see them
all robust, happy and successful. Happy
the man who lives to carve at the wedding
suppers of his grandchildren. Picture your
self a gray haired but hearty old man at the
head of the table at your gTaudsOn's wed
ding, thanking your Maker for the blessing
of long life, and asking the blessing of
good health for generations yet unborn. 1t
lies in almost every mans power to be thus
blessed if he will. If he will only obey Nat
ure's laws and be watchful of his health,
he will have long life and happiness.
The best preserver of health is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t keeps the
digestion perfect the liver active, and the
blood pure. It is the best flesh builder and
nerve invigorator. The man who resorts to
it whenever he feels any symptoms of APP
preaching ill-health will live to hearty old
age. Druggists sell it. Nothing else is
Just as good
T. B. Holt, of Whittens Stand Wayne Co.
Tenn. writes " IN October, $780, was taken

steadily grew worse. I consulted doctor He

MIR. CHANDELIERS RESOLUTION.

Two of the biggest corporations Of the
country have actively put their hand de-
family on the very throat of the govern
ment
It was probably with some such thought
as this that Senator Chandler introduced
his sensational resolution for the govern
hem Iron Company and the Carnegie
Iron Company.
Mr.. Chambers resolution, while it may
be impossible of execution, may yet
blaze the way for a development of the
extortions that have been fagrantly prac-
ticcd upon the government by these great
armor-plate concerns.
They have been charging about 5000
Il ton for the making of armor, but Con
sion fixing $500 per ton as the maximum
rate to be paid.
Under this act a few weeks ago bids
were asked for 5000 tons Of armor-plate.
When the bids were opened there was
found to he only one response, namely,
from the Illinois Steel Company, at $500
Il ton. There were present when this bid
was opened representatives of the other
great concerns, who sneeringly enjoyed
the embarrassment of the government.
The condition of the $500 bid was that
the rate of 1910 would he charged for
orders beyond the 5000 tons, provided the
Illinois Company should be given the
government contracts for the space Of
twenty years.
OF course the bid had to be rejected in
such a shape, while the sullenly silent
rivals chuckled over the discontinue of
all parties concerned.
On the heels of this proceeding thera
came three days ago the Chandler reso-
luton above referred to.
Although we can we'll understand the
Indignation of Mr. Chandler, who, as ex-
Secretary Of the Navy, speaks from Il
WV -I'pllll VI W lt hliON ItuSI VI HIS ouD-
jecr. we of course, as is remarked above,
cannot follow him into methods which
would seem pardonable only under the
stress of war-and possibly not even
then most wise.
But the question which has been
smQuldering in the Senate for over a
year will flame out under new ventila-
ton and the people of the country may
get some idea Of transactions which have
long been looked upon askance.
Our readers will remember the heated
tilt on this subject not long since between
Senators Iillman and Hawley. There
have been many similar passionate, per-
sonal exchanges, ana sensational news
paper insinuations
1t is time to bring the subject clearly
to the attention OF the people, and for
them to know whether these great gov
ernment-reared corporations are now to
do the warmed serpent act with the peO-
pie furnishing the blood.
In this view, if in no other. Mr. Chand-
ler's resolution may end in good; at any
rate. the people will watch with interest
until final action of some kind il taken
upon it.

Waite's Comedy company began an
engagement at the Academy of Music
last evening by producing THE Lost

was by many considered a somewhat
daring undertaking. to open the en-
gagement with drama such as THE
Lost Paradise" which requires IA
strong, capable company to do it any
measure of justice, but the interpreta-
tion it received last evening was an eX-
cellent one and showed that Manager
Waite knew exactly what he was doing
when he named that drama as the
opening bill. The company suffered
little by comparison with the star
Frohman companies that have hereto
fore produced the drama in this city.
The leading roles were ably sustained
by Lee Sterrett, Cameron Clemons, w.
