This innovation or usurpation con-

sharply illustrated i'm North Carolina.

TIE NATIONAL BIMETALIST.-

Bimetallic Union, and with Hon. II.

il is devoted solely to the one great
issue now before the people, ii APP
peals for support to every patriotic

AN ACT TO PUNISH CONSUMERS.

AN ACT TO PUNISH CONSUMERS.
The principal articles on which the
Dingley bill makes heavy increases
OF taxation are wool and wOolens.
sugar, flax, cotton and other textiles.
chemicals, cutlery and glassware,
spirits aud tobacco.
The total increase in all schedules
is estimated by Mr.. Dingley AT SIl2,-
100000 year on the basis of the im-
portatiOnS for last year, so levied as
to fall with its heaviest incidence
on consumption.
Thus We have an increase of SO, =
600, 900 on wool and woolens, levied
under n system Of specific duties
Imposed regardless of value, and up-
Grating to take at least two dollars
from the consumer Tor every dollar
that goes into the Treasury as reve-
nue..
With the S25, 900. 900 increase on
wool and on wooden clothing and
with $50, 100000 increase on sugar,
another prime necessary of life, We
have increases Of only single mil
lion on intoXiCants and of only two
millions on tobacco.
Perhaps tobacco and whiskey are
taxed enough alrcady-as wool and
clothing certainly are. But these
figures show how thoroughly the
Dingley committee has disrcgardcd
every principle Of sound economy
in its anxiety to please campaign
contributors and to satisfy the
clamor of sclfshncss.
If the members of the committee
would call the bill "An act to i'm
pose penalties on consumers and to
cut down our export trade" they
would come much nearer defining it
than they do in their present title
". Y. UOrid.

ANOTHER BoTCH.-It has been
discovered that the Legislature,
at its recent session, made no appro-
priation to pay the Commissioner of
Labor or his assistant for the year
ending May 3lst, 1898. The term
of Commissioner of Labor begins on
June the fourth, and the appropria-
tons for that office are made from
that Gate 10 run to the 3lst of the
following May. The Legislature of
1898 appropriated money to pay sala-
ries, &C, for the year ending May
3lst, 1897, and the recent Legislature
should have appropriated for the
years ending May 3lst, 1898 and
1899. but instead of dong this the
appropriations are made for the
years ending May 3lst, 1897 and
1899, thus giving nothing for the
year ending May 3lst, 1898, and du-
plicating the appropriation already
made in 1898 for the year 1897
This, of course, was not intentional.
1t was simply botch.
1t is also doubtful whether the an.
appropriation of $4,000 for the
State National Guard can be made
available, inasmuch as the appropria-
ton was made to carry into eff
feet chapter % of the Acts of 1889,
which the Legislature repealed
These and various other defects in
the appropriation bills show great
carclcssnesS in their enactment.

Important Decision,

The Supreme Court Of the United
States, ON the 22nd ult., rendered a
decision of very great and tar.reach-
ing importance 10 railroads as well
as to the pCOple-sustaining the va.
lidity of the antitrust law enacted
by Congress, which the court holds
applicable not only to trusts in gen.
eral organized in restraint Of trade,
but to all railroad combinations or
or pools organized to regulate f'reights
and thus indirectly to control the
price OF commodities.
The decision was given in the case
of the United States against the
Trans Missouri Freight Association,
embracing all the great railway lines
Of the West. In its effect, however,
the decision is applicable to the
Joint Traffic Association, embracing
the Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania, Wa
bash and other great Eastern systems
with headquarters at New York city.
The case of the Eastern roads has
hinged upon that of the Western
Association.
All the decisions of the lower
courts had been favorable to the
traffic associations, and they were
confident that the court Of the last
resort would sustain them. The de.
Cision of the Supreme Court not
only makes railroad pools amenable
to the Sherman Antitrust law, hut
1t sweeps away every preteXt by
which they had sought to evade this
law.
The opinion Of the Court was de
liverod by Justice Pcckham, and
was concurrCd in by Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Brewer, Har-
Ian and Brown, Justices Field, Gray,
Shiras and White dissenting.
1t is much to be regretted that so
many of the Justices dissented from
the opinion of the majority, but
still the dicisiou is "A victory for the
people in which all good citizens
will rejoice. a few decisions of
this kind will do much to reestablish
the Court in the confidence of the
poople-a confidence rudely shaken
by tho unfortunate decision in the
income tax case-also rendered by n
majority of one.

TWO FOUND DEAD In A ROOM
Business Men Shoot Each Other at
a Uni0nt0wn Hotel.
They Had Met to Settle Debt ard
Quarreled- Bloody Check Book
Tells the story.

Uniontown, Pa, April 23-One of the
blOodiesU tragedies ever enacted in Fay
cite county occurred last night at the La
fayette Hotel. When Charles Lyons went
to the room of Joshua McFadden he fell
over the two dead bodies of Mr.. McFadden
and Frank Brown The left side of
Browns head had been shot away, and
there was a bullet hole III his hand. Me-
Fadden was shot through the body sew
eral times. Two revolyers were on the
floor.
The men had been partners in business
at Fairchance until last fall, when Nc
Fadden sold out To Brown, who gave d
note for So, 222. The note was payable
yesterday, and McFadden came TO Union
town TO collect the money He took
room at the Lafa yette Hotel, where Brow
called on nim at B 80 O'Clock.
What happened in the room will prOha-
bly, never be known. 1t is thought that
Brown was unable to pay the full amount
of the note and the men qUarreled On
the table in the room the note was found
torn in two. II was covered with blood
and crumpied. By it was Browns check
book with a check that had been partly
written for part of the amount. 1t is
thought that MoFadden became angry at
him, and, pulling his bulldog revolver, be-
gan firing Five empty chambers were in
the weapon.
Both men were prominent in Fayette
county affairs. Brown was recently EN-
ploycd as a civil engineeryfor the II e.
