w IS MONOPOLY TO BE ENTHRoNED.

We are told that as to vice, we first
pity, then endure and then embrace.
1t is certainly true that in sense

Outgoing -to-do-about-it air of monopolies
has seemed to deaden the sense of indig-
nation against the methods and aims of
| monopoly We think that with most
people it is a seeming callousness, and
that in 1900 when the time comes to
line up it will be seen that the hostility
to them is burning.
The action of the administration with
reference to the application of the Postal
Telegraph Company to effect landing
in Cuba is one of the most fragrant in
stances of favoritism in the annals of
history. 1t is easy to understand why
the corrupt Spanish officials permitted
only one Telegraph company, but why
we should be guilty of the same wrong
Lewis's theory is the correct one. He
says that the Western Union "chipped
in" lively to the Republican campaign
fund of 1896 whereas the head official
of the Postal is a Democrat.
Ex-senator Edmunds months and
months ago appealed to the President
to over-rule Ayers order forbidding the
Postal to enter Cuba. He prepared an
able brief which clearly shows that
action. In vain has he asked for a
decision from the President. That
official seems both deaf and dumb when
any body appeals to him against a policy
of favoritism. 1t is beginning to be be-
lieved that Alger was in this as in many
other wrong acts merely the agent Of
the President who, as is well known, is
merely the agent of Hanna. And it is
well known that Hanna represents the
give big campaign contributions
The press cries out daily against the
delay in the Carter case. 1t is a small
matter in comparison to the denial of
equal privileges to the Postal Telegraph
Company in Cuba. Is it possible that
the American people will submit to such
injustice which smacks of corruption
without thunders of protest? Is it to
be the accepted doctrine that competi-
ton and individualism are dead, and
that monopolies are to be openly created
by governmental suppression of one con-
Germ to the enrichment of another?
We have no interest in either of the
great telegraph companies. We pat
ronize both and would not be concerned
in any mere fight between them for
business. This matter is not one of that
character. 1t resolves itself into the
question: Can the administration de-
stroy one concern by giving EXCLUSIVES
rights to another? If so, Mr.. Hanna
was right in saying that the English
monarchy was about as good as the
American monarchy.

Spirit of the Press,
DUTY or CHRISTIAN TEACHERS.
PRESBYTERIAN Standard

Presbyterian Standard.
In these days of Trusts and Anti
Trust Conventions, is there anything that
minister of the Gospel or "a religious
newspaper can do to form public opinion
without descending to the plane of par
tisan politics? How about persistent
and widespread sermons on the evil Of
covetousness? Why should not public
opinion be so moulded that the spirit of
grasping self-seeking should become as
despicable as the spirit of dishonesty. or
lust, or murder.
Is it not a confession for a great na-
ton like ours to make that one of the
problems of our day is the control of
grasping greed? Is it a grave indict-
ment against our national life that so
many are bent upon making more money
as the sole aim of existence? May we
not say that covetousness is a national
sin?
The Bible has some solemn things TO
say about covetousness. One of the ten
words spoken in syliabled thunder from
Sinai was, Thou shalt not covet We
are told that covetousness is idolatry.
The covetous man is put in the hateful
category of murderers and idolaters
And the sin of Ahab in the matter of
Naboth's vineyard is the story of covet-
BUSINESS and its punishment.
Now the spirit that combines for the
sake of crushing competition and then
taxing helpless public is in its essence
the spirit of covetousness. And it is
also true that no great principle has
ever been proclaimed fearlossly and per-
sistently from the pulpit that has ret
at last taken possession OF the popular
mind and heart. After all that can
be said about the power Of money to
control, that question is weak that las
money as its foundation wncn moral
issue opposes. Slavery was doomed
when it began to change from a domestic
institution to money-making institu-
ton and the slave-traders and slave
breeders began to succeed the Southern
master. And the trusts will be doomed
whenever the people can say with the
courage of their convictions, Thou shalt
not covet. Let us take heed and be-
ware of covetousness and take heed and
beware that we preach against it as we
should.

FAR SURPRISES EXPECTATIONS
Hickory Times-Mercury.

A copy of the State Edition of the
News and Observer has reached the
Times Mercury office. We expected to
see something good, but it far surpasses
our expectations, or anything of the
kind we have yet seen. 1t is indeed an
up-to-date history of the State and
should be in every family library. 1t
contains 215 pages, neatly bound and
is well arranged in matter and form.
And if there is town, section, enter
prise or person that has not received, in
it, due consideration. the fault is
theirs and not that of its editors and
publishers. Lit is grand advertise
ment and will demonstrate the value Of
printers ink and what progressive
newspaper is worth to community or
State. The only fault we find of it is,
it is not two copies, one for the boys
at the office and one for the children at
the home-both claim it. We want to
congratulate the editors and publishers
for the great success they have made
of it. Il

A woMAN's EDITION LATER.

mOHTOe EHQulIeI.
'eThe twentieth Century" edition Of
the Raleigh News and Observer is the
largest paper ever issued from a North
Carolina press. The paper contains 22S
pages, is handsomely bound in three
color cover, and is in every way a paper
which is credit to North Carolina,
whose interests it represents. Many of
the principal towns are written up and
sketches given of hundreds of business
and professional men of the State. One
of our citizens has very just criticism
of the great paper, and that is although
the paper has words of praise and pic
lures of hundreds of North Carolina
men, there is not the sketch nor the pic
ture of Il North Carolina woman in the
paper. The News and Observer will do
the proper thing for North Carolina S
daughters, and if those who criticlse the
Twentieth Century edition because
there is not a woman in it will just wait
until the woman's edition of that paper
appears, they will be more than pleased.

DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon diseased
condition Of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to

Complete ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Wishes Will be Consulted.

New York, July PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Rear
Admiral Sampson does not intend to re-
linquish command of his squadron until
soon after the return of Admiral Dewey,
and perhaps not until next winter. The
report is persistent that Rear Admiral
Crowninshield chief of the bureau Of
navigation. contemplates retiring inc
that Admiral Sampson will De selected as
his successor. Secretary Long is author
ity for the statement that dmira
CroWninshield has never intimated that
he purrosed giving up his bureau if the
secretary decides to give him a second
term. Rear Admiral Howison, COM
mander-in-chief of the south Atlantic
squadron, will retire on October 10, and
it may be that Admiral Schley will be
his successor. Friends of the administra-
ton have suggested to the president that
the way to settle the Sampson-Schley
controversy is to show the country that
there is no intention of sighting the lat
ter. 1t is too early to indicate with any
positiveness who will succeed Sampson
next winter in command of the north At
lantic squadron, but probably Schley will
not receive this bille,.
Secretary Long has made a decision of
considerable Importance to young officers
of the line, formerly engineers, who will
come up for examination for line offices
before March 3, 1901. Lieutenant JOIN X.
Robinson, junior grade, asked the secre-
tary that in view of his early promotion
to the grade Of lieutenant he be permitted
to undergo examination, physically and
mentally, the examination under the lat

Position For Dewey.

New York, July PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: There is
much gossip in naval circles respecting
the duty to which Admiral Dewey will be
assigned upon his arrival in this country.
Secretary Long positively declares the
post has not yet been selected, and that
a decision will be made only when he has
had an opportunity to consult with Ad-
miral Dewey and has learned his wishes.
There is apparently no doubt, however,
that the admiral will be stationed in
Washington at the head OF a strong
board, possibly the board of inspection
and survey, whose duties will be en-
larged so as to take in questions of policy
relating to ship construction. Should a
board of admiralS be the result of the
organization of the mechanical bureaus
of the department, as proposed by those
who favor such a solution neXt to the
retention of present systems, then there
is little doubt hat the admiral will be
made the head of the board.
