the Tribune from London says;
The magnitude and delIberatIon of
the British preparations FOR war are
row regarded by many keen observers
az safeguards against hostllitles. An
aggressive campaign Ia deferred there
by until the end of November. and the
responsibility for declaring war Is
forced upon the Beers, who viii unite
the Engllsh people against them by any
overt act against Natal,
Unless they are willing to face this
responsibility and put themselves on
the wrong side of the moral question
they viii keep their ill-organlzed army
onoampcd on the borders FOR nearly two
mouths. until the British are prepared
10 attack them with an Overwhelming
force, q 49,
Men who have been In South Africa

SUPERVISING TRUSTS.

1t offends people who make by trusts
to have states taking a and t. put a
bit in their mouths. They like a free,
full sweep. The Indiana supreme court
has made a decision that declares the
franchises of two gas companies to be
forfeited because they com0ineI 10 Tx
prices against customers. The court
holds hat Corporations are authorized
by the state for the 5enedt &C the peo-
pie, and whenever they enter into Ior-
binations to Limit the products which
they make or handle, or fix d price shall
be common Ito both, or in any way by
combining one with aEoth@r initiate
against the interests o. the people, they
are not living up to their corporate
privileges, but are abusing them, and
may be compelled by Ian to forfeit
them"
The state of North Carolina has taken
a step in the direction of justice and
right. 1t has a law that is intended
to domesticate all foreign corporations
that are doing or may seek to DO bus
mess within its borders, and to h a
end it is required that all such COM
panies must take out charters Of the
state that these corporations or COM
panies may be subjected to the state
supervision and be made subject to its
laws. This action leads the Philadel-
phia Record to say that when the
state authorities shall seriously address
themselves to the task of protecting
| private interests against a form of or
ganized ~plundering it may be found
1 that the power of the state is adequate
to deal with the trusts"
No one desires to Cypress corpora
| tions, but the people desire to avoid
| expressions of all kinds. They desire
| the enforcement of the live and let live
| policy. The states have the right and
can wisely and safely suppress trusts
l within their boundaries.

before the war, when a rape by a ne
gro upon a white woman was un-
known. He Hrites to the Houston
Daily Post, the leading paper in Texas:
Anterior to the war, during the
many decades of slavery, the same fam
lily fidelity was exhibited The crime of
rape was unknown. II violence in that
ceedingly rare, and 1t was not commit
ted by negroes.
What a great change has inter
vened since the war, not with the old
freedmen, but with their descendants,
the young free negroes raised UP under
freedom. Now raping is often occur
ring, generally IL the south, but occas
ionally in the north.
THE precise causes of this strange
development of negro brutality should
be understood. 1t has grown up under
freedom and after the spread Of edu-
cation &mong the negroes. The pres
ent conditions are producing ii, until
our people are becoming alarmed at
its frequency; and mob law has taken
the matter in hand, and even a race
war is spoken Of as possible eventu-
ally"
This cool headed Texan of years is
no enemy to the negroes. He is not
a hot headed fool or fanatic. He sees
the situation, describes it and writes
in plain, direct lines. Here is another
extract which represents correctly the
attitude of the white race:
I'VE must discriminate among ne
groes. The law abiding should be de-
Tended. But these law abiding negroes
must not labor to protect Or shield the
rapist. There would be no lynching
for rape if there were no rapists. For
negroes to meet and denounce the
lynchers and pass demurely over the
rapist's outrage involves criminal in
consistancy-fatal to peace and order.
No crime the negroes can commit will
arouse more resentment among the
whites than rapist's invasion of our
homes. In our view, he is a beast to
be eXterminated, and that quickly"

come in the future. The New Orleans
