"A great deal of this antitrust talk

truly. There was not the slightest
chance of perfecting any legislation
of value concerning trusts, and the

am proud that | helped to do it
The Springfield Republican, an able
and honest paper that supported Mckin
lev for President, makes the following
wise observation, which will meet WITT
general approval
'His conception Of 'the business
interests and the business operation
is evidently an operation by which a
few men combine the plants engaged
in any particular industry, water the
capital. bind the distributing trade
through the rebate and the black list,
and then exact from the public 10
and 20 per cent dividends on the in
fiated capitalization. And this is just
about what most people would have
supposed Hanna's idea of a legitimate
business operation would be. This,
he frankly admits, is one of the
business interests which the pend
ing tariff is designed to protect.
Mr. Sherman may talk incessant-
ly about 1.-The all-important question
of the trusts but it can be regarded
only as the inconsequential muttering
of one who has been thrust aside to
make way for the new party leader

sonaEty who now speaks with an au-
thority Mr.. Sherman never in his

WEDNESDAY,
AS SOUND AS A DOLLAR.

The resolution offered by Mr.. FLEMING
in the meeting of the Wake county
Board of Education on Monday that the
colored men appointed on school commit
Toes ..are expressly appointed by the
Board to assist in looking after the III
terests of the colored schools, and it Is
the opinion of this Board that such COM
mitteemen should not interfere with the
control Of the white schools either In the
employment of teachers or otherwise
this resolution is as sound AIS dollar. Ii
the Republican and Populist members
of the Board vote it down or suppress It,
they thereby declare that they want the
negro committeeman ito interfere with
the control of the white Schools thing
that will not be tolerated.
The Fayetteville Observer defines its
opposition to the local tax in these
words:
"The Observer, in keeping with the
spirit of the times, lis in favor of pop
ular education, and it commends the
motive of those who sought to slim
ulate interest in that cause by the
local option device which we are to
vote upon in August. But speaking
now only for Cumberland county, we
have to express the earnest hope
that all those who cherish Anglo
Saxon civilization and who believe
that in Anglo-Saxon supremacy alone
lies our hope of escape from social
and political ruin, will cast their
votes against placing one cent more
of public money in the control Of the
present board of education. Our rea-
son for taking this position is the fact
that the authorities in this county
have chosen for one of
the three county commissioners in
control of all the public school
moneys, the public school teachers
female as well as male) and the
public school children, a negro man
no doubt very worthy man Of his
race, but still a negro man. No white
man worthy of his race will vote more
power into the hands Of a board so
constituted"
The fact that other men antagonize To-
cal taxation for like reasons, shows the
timeliness of the resolution offered by
Mr.. Fleming.

patch says:
The report of the capture of pigeon
carrying the announcement that DR.
Andree had reached 80 degrees north
latitude, which seemed genuine, is now
discredited in certain quarters.
An expert in training hOming pigeons
writes to the newspapers declaring
that it would be impossible for any Of
the birds taken by DIR, Andree even to
return to their original location
Homing pigeons direct their course by
sight. All those engaged in long. dis
tance journeys have to be so trained as
to becowe acquainted with the country
over which they fly. If they do not
know this they are invariably lost.
DIR. Andree took his pigeons from
Tromso, Norway. distant from Spitz-
bergen about 700 miles across the Arctic
ocean. The idea that any pigeon could
possibly return such distance across
an unknown sea is regarded as su-
premely absurd by all persons &C.
quainted with the performances of
these birds, which require innumerable
trainings to get them to perform much
less distances ever land.

The conference was secret. Rend

Ratchford in the following way
"A man who SEEK to bring about an

You are villain, traitor, blackboard
