TWO ANTITRUST LAWS.

The Missouri Court OF Appeals has
Just rendered q decision in true
case which is attracting wide atteD
ton, ard which, just at this time, il
view of the miserable make-shift o
An antitrust law which tho last Ley
islature passed, is of peculiar inter
est to the voters Of North Carolina
The details Of the case were as fol
lows:
The National Lead Company, {,
trust, brought suit to recover deb
of 81, 200 due it by the s. E. Grot
Paint Store Company of St. Louis
The lower court decided in favor O.
the trust, whereupon the Grote Com
pany appealed and won. The d..
fence was that the National Leat
Company, being a trust, was opera.
ted in violation of the Missouri anti
trust law Of 1891, which says tina.
"any purchaser of any article o.
commodity from any individual
company or corporation, transactin,
business contrary to the precedin.
sections Of this act (the Missouri an
THRUST law shall not be liable fol
the price or payment Of such article.
or commodity Under this decis
ion trusts in Missouri cannot resol
to the courts for collection of debl
due them. And herein is the differ
euce between the antitrust law OF
Missouri (Which see ms to be as effec.
tive as it is possible for state Law
dealing with Trusts to b.) and tie
anti trust (D law Of North Carolins.
THE CAUCASIAN has several times
called attention to the fact that tn
original bill introduced IN the legis
lature (Which contained really fec
tive antitrust provisions) was shorl
of all Of its power to reach trusts
and that the law as finally passed
was nothing but sham and a fraud
One Of the provisions stricken out o.
the proposed bill was one prohibitin,
the trusts from using the courts 70,
the enforcement of contracts and tn.
collection of debts. This is reall,
the most effective way in which d.
state can deal with the trust prob
lem, as evidenced by the Missouri
decision above referred to; and o.
course such a legislature as NORTH
Cardinals last one, containing as j.
did 30, many corporation lawyers.
did not pass . bill containing THU
effective provision or in fact any
provision that was likely to prov.
Questionable or troublesome to the
trusts. Without this provision thu
Missouri court could not have rem
dered an adverse decision to tn.
trusts; without this or any other Of
fsctive provision, the antitrust Law,
as it now is, may remain upon tn.
statute books forever without &C.
complaining any result except an ex.
travagant waste Of the paper upon
which it is written.

THE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT BEAU.
FORT.
In our last issue we refsrred to the
good progress beirg made on the
fish cultural station at Edenton, and
also to the probability that bioIogi.
cal station with a marine labratory
would oe established at Beaufort in
the near future as branch OF
the Edenton station. During the
pas! week the United States Fish
Commission has definitely agreed to
establish the biological station at
Beaufort, with Prof. Wilson, of the
State University, as superintendent.
This station will open as early as
June LIST next. In as much as such q
station can only operate successfully
during the midsummer months, Prof.
Wilson will be able to superintend
the station without interfering with
his duties at the University.
An appropriation will be gotten
from Congress at the next session t.
make this station at Beaufort per-
manent. There has been q station
OF this kind at Woodshole, Mass,
for a number of years. but that loca-
ton does not begin to compare with
Beaufort. 1t is generally admitted
by scientists that there is no place
On the Atlantic coast superior to the
waters of North Carolina and es
around Beaufort for such in
designations. Prof. Holmes, our very
efficient State Geologist, deserves the
credit for pointing out these facts
Ind urging the establishment of such
station by the government in North
Carolina waters.

LINCOLN, JEFFERSON, BRYAN AND
THE PEOPLES PARTY.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
Mr.. Bryan in speech recently
made in Milwaukee quoted from a
letter written by Abraham Lincoln,
to which our attention had never
before been called. 1t seems that
Lincoln was invited to attend a JEFF
terson banquet, and that while he
vas not able to attend, in his letter
le paid glowing tribute to Jeffer-
son and endorsed the great pr,nci-
lies for which the founder of Dem
'cracy contended. Every one knows
who is familiar with the life of Lin.
coln knows that he stood practically
for everything that Jefferson stood
for; but we did not know before that
ne had specifically endorsed the creed
Of Thomas Jefferson and expressed
regrets that business engagements
prevented him from attending a JEFF
terson banquet and making speech.
This simply confirms what THE eau.
oAsIAN has always contended, that
there was little difference between
he Democracy of Thomas Jefferson
+rd the Republicanism of Abraham
Lincoln and that it was the duty of
Ill Democrats who believed in JEFF.
'rson and of all Republicans who be-
ieved in Lincoln to Join hands and
stand solidly with the Peoples party
tor the great principles of good gov
ernment for which both contended.
The Populist party is made up of
hat kind of Democrats and Repub-
iicans. There is no single socialist
IN the Peoples party; they belong to
IN entirely different school. We re-
oeat again what we have stated hun
dreds Of times without contradiction,
and which cannot be contradicted,
that there is not q single plank in the
Peoples party platform that was not
advocated by j If rson and the fra
meIs of the Constitution. In short.
he Peoples party stands for all of
J, Persons creed; as yet, the Demo.
cratic party as announced in the
Chicago platform, stand for only a
part Of J.fferson's creed.

WHAT AGITATION or EOpL9'a Pa X
TY PRINCIPLES HAS DONE AND
WHAT PRACTICAL OPHKA-
TON OF SAME WOULD Do
FOR NEW YORK.

hoss ss-
New York city has an objsc. les
son Of the public good in which the
Peoples Per,y principles. il enacted
into law, would result. This time it
is cheaper gas. For years past the
people Of New York have been forced
to pay private corporation the ex
norbi.ant price OF sl.2O per cubic
foot for the gas they consumed. ALI
efforts to get these companies TO re-
duce their extortion have proved IN
availine; they answering after the
manner of AL public fed corpora
tons, that d less rate would be ruin
Gus to them. And only q short while
ago they treated the proposition of
ninety cent gas as ftuper dous joke.
But the funny side Of this joke was
not as apparent to the consumers
who were getting tired Of the tax
which these gas maguates were levy
ing on them, and hence the agita
ton tor city gas plant, which, &C.
cording to expert testimony. could
manufacture gas proftably at the
rate Of fifty cents per thousand Gu
bic feet. 1t was this agitation, the
evident waking up Of people over
the whole country to the necessity of
public ownership of public utilities.
and the imminent success of the
fight for a municipal gas plant in
New York which brought the gas
trust of that city to its senses, and
resulted in a reduction in the price
Of gas from 81 10 to 95 cents pc,
thousand cubic feet. OF course this
reduction is only temporary and ii
made for tho purpose of divertine
public attention from the necessity
of the city owning Its own gas plant
If they are successful in qnietine
this agitation the trust magnates viii
no doubt gradually revert to the ole
rate. But the people Of New Yorl
should not be content with the bene
fits (Which may only be temporary.
which the agitation of a People.
party doctrine has brought them
They should not be satisfied unit
that doctrine is put into practica
effect and thus reap the whole bene
fit which would accrue therefrom
The people should own their own ga,
plants, not only because it could fur
nish them cheaper gas, but becaus.
tho principle of public ownership O,
public utilities is right. Clothing 4,
few individuals with the power to ex
tort exhcrbitant rates from the pub
lie for pnblic necessity is in direct
opposition to the Democratic princi-
ciple of equal rights to ell ant

of the happiest signs Of the times
that under Peoples party agitation
the great mass Of people in all par
ties are becoming awaken d to th,
necessity Of putting into pra "tica
force and fleet the Peoples Part,
doctrine of public own rship, o.
public utilities. We ere g'sd tn,
people of New York 81 eettine

low this reduction, temporary as i
no doubt is, to divert their attentio,

very much that the legislature did
not pass the bill as it was introduced
by Mr.. Stevens. In fact, we would
like to see every State in the Union
pass such an antitrust law aid put
the contracts made by trusts On the

should they be allowed to 90 to the
courts and enforce their contracts
any more than should a gambler be

legislation, while it would not break
up trusts, for it would not remove
tho causes that produce them, yet it
would be the most effective repress-
i've legislation that could possibly be
en- scted.
But to get rid of trusts We must
remove the causes that produce them,

WOMEN DIVERS.

New York Sun: A Brooklyn man re-
ceived last week a letter from a friend
in Seoul, the capital Of Korea, describ-
ing a visit the writer had recently paid
to the large island Of Quelpaert, just
south of Korea, and a part of that coun-
try. 1t appears that one of the main
lines OF business IS diving for the pearl
oyster, and that the diving operations are
wholly m~onopolized by women. Here is
an extract from the letter:
Il think the most unique sight I ever
saw was the women divers at Quelpaert.
Perhaps you may have heard that only
women divers are engaged in the pearl
oyster fisheries there. Every day l was
there I saw a lot of them going out to
their work or returning with the fruits of
their quest under the sea. They are not
a very handsome crowd, but they have
fine, supple figures, and car swim as we'll
as any fish of the deep. Each wears a
very scanty bathing dress that looks as
though it might be made of gunny sack.
Tied TO a string around their waists is a
gourd. with a stopper in the neck of it
to keep the water out. Tied to the gourd
is a little bag. The third and last article
of the equipment is a sickle, which is
also fastened to the waist and rests on
the back till the women get out to the
fishing grounds.
you might think that boats would be
kept to carry these women out to their
toll. but no: they work their passage, and
it is a lesson in the art of swimming to
see them. They wade out a few yards
and then breast the waves, moving sea-
; ward with long, quick strokes, n cut
ing the water like a racing shell. They
swim out about half a mile. My favorite
amusement was watching as much as I
! could see of their subsequent operations
through a glass. They would take off the
gourd and little bag and leave them float
ing around on the surface. Then, sickle
in hand. down they would go. head first,
and I was told that they had to sink 40
or so feet to the bottom.
About the time I made up my mind
they would never be seen again alive. up
they would come, sometimes right nea
; where the gourd was floating and some
times several rods away. They would
put their oyster or two or three of them
in the little bag, take a few long breaths,
and down they would go again, repeating
the process until the bag was filled. 1t
is said they will stay out for hours rather
than return before they have all the oys-
tiers that can be crowded into the bag.
Any stranger must admire them, both for
their splendid endurance and for their
swimming. It's worth more than all the
tank performances you ever saw.
THE sickles are used to cut away the
seaweed at the bottom so that the divers
may get at the stones and earth to which
the oysters fasten themselves. A pearl is
very rarely found, but when a diver cap
lures the prize she thinks her fortune is
made. The shell is used as a mother of
pearl and the oysters are eaten in large
quantities. both on the island and on the
mainland.'
