Trusts Bad for Drummers.

p Il. Dove, Of New York, president
of the Commercial Travellers National
League Mr. Dove said the opinion
of the commercial men at large was that
the trusts were a menace to the com
munity. He estimated the travelling
statesmen in the United States at 300 ,OOO
saving that the census figures OF 90, 600
were grossly incorrect. The formation
of trusts and combinations was throw

almost every instance except coffee and
sugar. In these they were still fight

At Roanoke College commencement
last week Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith responded to the toast
Our Country. The annual address
before the literary societies was deliv-
cred by Postmaster General Smith
Postmaster General Smith took for his
theme American Patriotism and Pro-
gress. " He said that his auditors were
chiefly Of the South, while he was of
the North, but the whole country Is
united now. as it has not been since the
foundation of the republic The war OF
the past year has obliterated oil section
alism. We of the North do not forget
that the first American blood shed In
this war was that OF the South. In the
very exultation Of triumph, the tears
were first brought TO our eyes by the
heroic dash and the sad death OF En-
sign Bagley, of North Carolina. He
belonged 90 a family which was de-
scribed as first at Bethel and last at
Appomattox, " and it was circum-
stance not without its suggestive and
significant force that the first blood
spilled in this contest waged by q re-
united country for humanity and lib
erty was that Of chivalrous and in
trepid representative Of the South. -

And yet whilst Mr. Smith was utter
ing these platitudes to please the South,
he doubtless laughed in his sleeves, for
he must have said what fools you South

What do think of the American

Well, this is too delicate question to
answer. The American navy Of today
is remarkable for its rapid growth. 1t
ranks among the first, where twenty
FIVE yeers ago all the natives Of Europe
outranked it, The discipline in the
American navy has been criticised as

Bonds Forged.

Second Auditor Ryland has had some
correspondence with a firm Of brokers
in Boston With reference to alleged
bonds Of Virginia offered as security
for loan. These bonds are forgeries
They are the ones engraved blythe Ken
dali Bank Note Company. which were
rejected by the State. The genuine
bonds were engraved by the American
Bank Note Company. The rejected
Kendall notes were sold as junk in New
York and the Second Auditor often
hears from them In this case they pur.
port to be signed by d. r, Beverley. treas
urer, and John Smith, Second Auditor.
Beverley was treasurer up to 1894, but
John Smith was never second auditor.
At the time Beverley was treasurer, Fl.
II. Dyson was second auditor.
The forged bonds were successfully
used in Boston and in Lynn and about
$17 900 were borrowed on them.
