COURT DRESS.

Paris Cor. New York Tribune: Quite
a ripple of excitement in American diplo-
matte circles was caused by a circular
issued under the personal instructions OF
the emperor by the Russian minister OF
foreign affairs. and which reopens the
much-discussed question of court dress
for American diplomatic representatives
abroad. The circular formally notifies
all foreign embassies and legations at
st. Petersburg that the court costume OF
a dark blue evening Goa with a velvet
collar and brass buttons. white or blue
waist coat and blue trousers. is pre-
scribed for all persons not otherwise en-
titled to wear uniforms who a ttend court
ceremonies.
The Russian circular explicitly states
that the new regulations apply to all dis
tinguished foreigners n accredited
representatives in Russia of such coun-
tries as nave not adopted for their dip
lomatic officers specific uniforms or cos
tunes.
1t is stated by those in a position to
know that similar measures are likely
to be taken at the courts of Berlin, Co
penhagen, The Hague and Brussels. It
is well known that the plain black even-
ing dress worn by official representatives
of the United States is not recognized at
st. Petersburg as suitable for occasions
court chamberlains very much as those
of ceremo ny and is looked upon by the
assembled at a dinner party in New York
would regard a guest att.red in tweed
and knickerbGckers.
During an informal exchange of views.
which preceded the issuance Of the Rus
sian circular, already forwarded to the
state department at Washington, Mr..
Tower, the ambassador at St. Petersburg
earnestly requested the Russian author
tiles to adopt as plain a style for diplo-
matlc Of1cprS AS was contestant with tho
requirements, in order to make ii accord
with American views on the subject. The
Russian government accepted the sug-
and prescribed a cour costume
OF cloth instead of velvet, as was origi-
nally contemplated.

General Young's column is steadily con-

Otis says Young's advance is north ami

objective is San Jose and Carraglan. The
wet season rendered roads in that sec

DEATH OF DR.. W. R. WOOD.

The death of DIR. William X. Wood, of
Scotland Neck, will be regretted by Il
large number of friends throughout the
State. He was a gentleman of high
character, chivalrous and patriotic. He
was brave soldier and good citizen.
He had enjoyed all the honors of the
medical profession, and after five years
successful management as superinten-
dent Of the North Carolina Insane ASy-
lum, he resigned to return to his old
home to spend the remainder of his days
among warm friends and neighb0rs. He
was one of the few men who has lived in
the State who gladly and voluntarily re-
signed an honorable public position to re-
tire to private life.

at what sum the tangible property is as

bonds and stocks is more than the tany-
BILE property, i. c., in all cases in which
the franchise has any value. For de-
ducting the value of the tangible proper

much is apportioncd as value of tangible
property and how much as value of the
franchise, for they are taxed ut the same
rate and combined make the true valua-

necessarily follows that when a railroad
earnings increase, its tax valuation in
creases not because its road bed or real
estate has increased in value, but be-
cause its franchise is more valuable.
Upon this basis. which is the clear let

THE WAREHOUSE TRUST.

1t is to be earnestly hoped that the
tobacco warehouse monster called Il
trust, that has invaded North Carolina
from Virginia. will have its tail cut off
short at the roots and very early. 1t
may arouse the farmers more than ever
to the real character of this foul conspr-
acy against them-the infamous. diaboH-
cal tobacco trust. and all the other in
famies branded as trusts. The plan of
this new enemy is to control the markets
of North Carolina, and thereby OF course
control the prices of all gold-leaf tobacco.
especially of the better grades. Already
the farmers of North Carolina have hail
to pay tribute to the rascally Duke Gig
arctic trust to the extent of some mid
lions of dollars. The precise sum cannot
he ascertained. But two years ago Il
very intelligent gentleman of the Pied
mont section told us that S1.5O0,000 had
been lost to the farmers of THAT fine see
ton by the Duke Cigarette trust. Whit
has been lost since and what the dozells
of counties not included in that section
have lost by the vile robber and oppres-
sor may swell the loss-the tribute paid
to $3.000.000. This is the money lost
by the trust forcing down prices to its
own greedy demands.

THREAT TO ENJOlN TAXATION OF RAIL
ROADS.

Fortunately no Federal judge can in
terfere with or enjoin the taxing power
of the State The railroad attorneys, who
have been given life seats on the FEEDER
al bench have not hesitated to usuTp
great powers. especially i'm "usurping
las Judge Caldwell of the United States
Circuit bench recently said the right to
substitute their own opinion of the rea-
condolences of rates for that of the leg
islature or Il commission created by
law But no railroad judge has so far
dared to invade State sovereignty as to
substitute himself for the taxing power
of the State.
Should any dare to do so, we are sure
our commission will take the case to the
Supreme court at Washington who will
sit down upon the would-be Satrap. The
nsurpations of the Federal judges have
been more numerous in North Carolina
than anywhere else in the Union be
cause there has not been any firmness
displayed by our State authorities in
taking the cases up to the United States
!. Supreme court. When in the matter of
the 80 year lease Simonton adjudged
he had power to enjoin the Governor
of this State. the latter acquiesced and
!. cvpli made a bargain not to appeal-as if
the honor arldssoyereignty of the State
was of less value than the bill of costs
and counsel fees which the railroad au-
thorities agreed to pay. in consideration
of no appeal being taken. When fed
eral judge afterwards tried the same
little game upon the Governor of Ala
baIila, IN appeal was taken and the Uni
ted States Supreme court promptly held
that the action was an usnrpation. The
Governor could not be enjoined in such
a style. We have heretofore published
a synopsis of that decision.
We are sure that if any usurpation
is attempted of enjoining the valuation
of railroad property for taxation the pres
ent Corporation Commissioners have~thn
manhood to appeal and test the authori-
Nv of the subordinate Federal judge over
State taxation. They are not men to be
deferred from the performance Of their
sworn duties by threats from the rail
sroads of setting federal judges upon
them.

BEAT THE TRUST.
Took Large Orders in Advance at
Cut Rate.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.)

New Orleans Times-DcmOcrat)
II don't care to mention names,
said visitor from New Jersey, but
this is an absolutely true story Of now
one man at least beat Il big trust at
its own game. He was at the head of
a small concern making-let us say
carr wheels that's not exactly it, but
pretty nearly, and about year ago
he got Il private hint that the other car
wheel people were arranging combine.
He said nothing, but Immediately com
mUnicated with several of the largest
consumers and by offering confdentially
a reduction of about - per cent Sc
cured advance orders that would Occu-
Ply him over two years to fill, running
at full capacity. At the price named
every wheel would be made at a loss,
and his partners were badly scared. He
told them to keep their mouths shut and
wait. In few months the trust was
organized, according to program. and
one day Il bland agent dropped in and
offered him a fair price for the plant.
He said he didn't care to sell. The
trust thereupon proceeded to put on the
screws in the usual fashion. In other
words. they cut rates, but, strange To
say, the little matchmaker didn't seem
to care. Then they made another and
much larger cut with the intention of
freezing him out at one fell swoop. That
was just what he was waiting for: and
through third party he instantly
placed orders covering all the contracts
he had made at figure that left him
n handsome margin of profit. Without
suspccting that the large orders came
from their intended victim the trust
people became alarmed mt the losses in
CURED in the freezng-out process ana
made him another and much better offer
for his plant. which he promptly ac-
cepted. Now the trust has the concern
and is obliged to run it day and night
to make wheels nj - per cent under
actual cost from the man 1t tried to
ruin. AS fast rs he gets them he turns
them over on his contracts and reaps
the intermediate profit. while. needless
to say, the trust magnatcs howl with
anguish every time they make de
livery. The little Matchmaker got enough
out of the sale of the plant to retire
for life, and he is carrying out the
rest of the campaign merely for sport.
He says it's great fun to see trust on
the gridiron."
