which will meet with general approval, as the opinion Is almost everywhere held that it would be useless to waste any more time by frittering away men between the various columns
 The morning Post in a rather alarmist article remarks upon the difficulty of de- cidng such a crucial matter and says:
 Besides three generals dn the field, all of whom need to be reinforced there is the rebellion in Cape Colony to be considered. This makes four pressing calls on the five divisions. The trouble Is, who is to decide, and on what principle"
 The morning Post, reviewing the various positions of the beleagued commanders and garrisons asserts that the relief of Lady, smith is the most important emergency, and that a victory in Natal would change the whole face of affairs. It also points out the urgent need of having the navy in readiness to move at any moment to protect the line of communication with South All rica, suggesting that Ia quarrel with some foreign power might come any day without any British intention to have one.
 Tlhe Daily News, commenting upon the spontaneous response to the government appeal for volunteers from all padts or tie empire, says the most remarkapie scehe of all recorded from the United States was the demonstration in favor of the British in. the Church of the Messiah in New fork City during the discourse of Rev. pr.

 No News from Capetown
 No further news has been received from Capetown, but the Argus has a dispatch from a correspondent describing the battle at the Tugela river, who says: General Barton carried the Village or Colenso at the poirt of the bayonet and under raking fire"
 The few accounts of the battle that are yet to hand fail to give an accurate idea | but the statement that General Clery com manded describes the current idea that he was engaged in some turning movement; that the Tugela river battle was only part of a larger scheme of operation.

HI TRUST QUESTION.
Views of Congressman New1ands
: Presented IN a Communication
to the Secretaryof the Chicago
Conference.

Congressman Newlands accepted the
invitation of the Civic Federation
at Chicago to address the recent
conference on trusts, held under its aus
pices and at which Mr.. Bryan and
Burke Cochran we're such conspicuous
figures, at the last moment, however,
he was prevented by business engage
ments from going, and, having been re-
quested by the Secretary to commune
cate his views in wiring, sent a letter
in which he discusses the feasibility OF
controlling trusts by Federal taxation,
and from which we take the following
extracts:
Reno, New, Sept. 20, 80.
Ralph M. Easley, Esq, Secretary Con-
ference on Trusts, Chicago, nl.,-My
Dear Sir: l regret my inability to com-
ply with the request of the Civic FEEDER
alton to address the conferences on trusts
at Chicago, and avail myself with pleas
ure OF the privilege accorded me of pre-
cSbo'h6 my tiOno ia NilbihB. L Sudll
con6ne myself mainly to the remedy.
WHAT IL 4 TRUST?
First--The term trust" is a misnom-
er as applied to the combinations of cap
ital which. have aroused so much go
licitude. The old trust was a combina-
ton of independent producers to fix the
price of a particular commodity. Such
a combination could be annnlled
through the courts as AN agreement in
restraint Of trade. Today the same OBJ
ject is accomplished in a legal way, viz:
By a union Of capital in one great cor
poration which purchases the property
of the Independent producers and makes
them all stockholders in a common en-
terprise.
Capital has learned from the labor
union the wiedom Of cooperation, and
cooperation is now largely substituted
both in labor and capitalistic unions for
the old principal Of competition.

organization OF State corporations, nor is
this desirable, but it can, through its
power regarding the res ulation of inter
State commerce, restrain their opera
tion and il can use its taxing power in
such a way as either to destroy or to
regulate and control.
The power relating to the regulation
Of interstate commerce is hardly sufi-
Gent to meet the evil as evasion would
be easy. Any trust could restrain its
operations to the limits of the State I'M
der the laws OF which it was organized.
At the same time purchasers from other
States could buy in such State. The
sale would be domestic, the transfer of
the product would be Interstate, and
legislation aimed at the trust in its
Interstate business might be evaded.
BEST N oNL REMEDY.
Fifth-The power OF taxation of the
federal government is ample to meet the
difficulty, and is much more far-reach-
ing than the power exercised under the
interstate section of the
constitution. The power of taxation can
be used either to destroy or restrain,
and it has been SO used within our ex-
perience.

NO REMEDY IN rARIry rrNKEnrNe.

Second-Tariff legislation will not
reach the difficulty, for combinations OF
capital exist in England, France and
Germany today. and hat the effect of
lowering the tariff wall would simply be
to substitute foreign trusts for domestic
trusts in the control OF our markets.
y
The laborers now employed by our
domestic trusts would be idle; their
places would be taken by laborers en-
ployed abroad by foreign trusts.
The prosperity Of the republic is
founded upon the prosperity of the

should place the American man above

in its endeavor to rectify abuses OF
American unions of capital take away
the employment of American laborers.

-eTHE MAKING OF LITERATURE. y
Walter III. Page at the State Normal
and Industrial College.
Greensboro. n. G.. March IL. 1880

Greensboro, y. c., March IL, 1899.
Mr.. Walter II. Page, of Boston, editor
of the Atlanta Monthly, delivered an adj
dress of rare literary excellence to
large and delighted audience at the
State Normal and Industrial College
last night. His subject was 1.-THE Max
ing of Literature" His introduction was
IA chaste and beautiful tribute to litera-
ture and Il clear and concise exposition
of Its intimate relation to life. He de-
clared our English literature to be the
most glorious achievement of the English
race and its most priceless heritage.
Literature, he maintained, that is book
ed for Immortality, il always the out
growth of life expressed in the common
vernacular by one endowed of God with
the artists touch and the authors tai
ent. 1t cannot be produced by artificial
means. 1t has to do with universal hui
man feeling more than with books.
Then, taking the audience into his
confidence, he revealed some of the
secrets of his own literary workshop.
and described the methods of work Of
some of the successful literary workers
of the present day whom it was his pri
vilege to know. He paid just tribute
to the splendid work of the great Ameri-
can historian, Eiske. and by an interest
ing and discriminating contrast Of his
work with the work of another modern
historical writer he Illustrated the diff
ference between true historian, a
maker of literary history, and Il mere
chronicler of dry facts.
He gave the audience peep into the
note book of one of our most popular
modern novcists, and charnnngly de
scribed the authors method of work.
telling the story of the conception and
growth of one of the most popular nov
els. He also told the story of Prison
erS Of Hope and gave a delightful pen
picture of its beautiful young author,
Miss johnson, Of Alabama.
He opened the door of the study Of
Joel Chandler Harris, and gave us Il
glimpse of the quaint and modest author
of Uncle Remus.' whose work Mr..
Page considers the most genuine literary
expression of ante bellum Southern life.
The speaker concluded with an elO-
quent plea for the early formation of the
reading habit and the cultivation of lit
erary taste.
The large assembly hall of the Normal
and Industrial College was filled to over
flowing by those eager to hear a distin-
guished son of North Carolina, who has
by sheer force of his own merit and
genius forged his way to the front ranks
of the American literary world. For an
hour the great audience listened to him
with pride and rapt attention. In
thought, sentiment and expression his
address was the best illustration of his
subject.
