ATTACK on. TRUSTS TO BE

Speaking of the campaign i'll 1900,
Mr.. Bryan is quoted as saying i'll Chi

Il more prominent place than in 1896
These corporations are grasping like
giants upon the business life of our
country because restrictive legislation

A POLICY OF pISHONOR.


If the. President had notified the
Filipipos that they were TO have self
government, the lives of our brave vol
unteers would not have been sacrificed
to a policy contrary to American tradi-
tions and to American humanity. Post
Master General Smith in his speech ut
Chicago, speaking of the Philippine
Islands, said:
1.-THE President holds these islands in
trust for the American people until
they can determine the future.
We bought the islands i'll order to di-
vert attention from home issues and to
open place for rich pickings. 1t is Il
policy of dishonor that will be repu-
dated.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP PAYS
IN THIS STATE.

the water rate is just one-fourth the
rate private ownership charged consum-
ers in Raleigh. The rate in Wilson is
ten cents while it is forty cents in this
city.

composed of II. 7. Claywell, John Tull
and j. W. Wilson, Jr., make this re-
port:
THE net cost to the town per month
for sfl its street lights is only Sl2.::jj.D
per month, including interest on the
bonds, -instead of SS3.33, formerly paid
to the company.
1T is confidently expected by the
board of commissioners that the receipts
from private consumers will soon
amount to enough to pay all costs of
running the plant, including interest ON
the bonds, so that the town will get all
its street lights free, and ut the same
time the private consumers are getting
cheaper rates than in any town in the
South.
with these facts before us, we do
not hesitate to ask the voters of the
town of Morganton to- vote for tIn.

No town or city ought to grant Il
franchise to private parties to rut in
water or lights. 1t should be done by
the issue of bonds by the municipality.
Those cities that have granted fran
chises ought to lose no time about secdr-
ing municipal ownership whom it can b.:

Wilson'S experience in water. and
Morganton experience in lights can
be duplicated in every town in North

THE CHARACTER OF THE COURT
Wilmington Messenger

So Captain Bill Day gains his case
and holds the ''penitentiary fort" 1t
was supposed by reason of the charac-
ter of the Supreme court that it would
decide for Day. The decision may be
just. but the ablest jurist in the court,
Judge Clark. dissents.
Just how far the decision in favor of
Captain Day will reach we cannot say,
but it may involve a great deal and
prove a sort of "Pandora's Box" for
the State.

an agony of effort to save themselves from
the cruel blows, they gripped their stalls
with their teeth. Then their jaws snapped
like thin straws.
Friday night was one Of horrors to the
men who had to work among the dead and
dying brutes. When Saturday morning
dawned more than two score of animals
were dead. AS fast as they died in their
stalls with necks and backs broken. they
were hoisted overheard and cast adrift to
make food for fish and fowl.
The climax was reached Saturday night.
No man on the ship had slept for nearly
three days. Their clothes were soaked with
water, their bodies covered with bruises.
Barely a third of the working force of
government employees was able to care for
the suffering and dying animals.

them, taking their cuts and bruises as
matter Of course and trying to the best of
their strength to help the poor struggling

The stencil from the stalls was something
awful. Blood ran from the backs and sides
of the bruised and bleeding animals. What
could be done to save them? Little or
nothing. One big black beauty In the sec

and his breast lacerated frightfully. The
ship pitched ahead In the trough of the
sea and then bucked as the waves beat
over her PROV. Careening, she lay on her
beam ends, and the black horse was thrown
OH his back, his heels in the air and his
neck broken. This was but one case.
The story OF the return to the Sound has
been told. The remorseless gales pursued
the ship inside the mouth of the Strait. Not
until Port Angeles was passed was there
any let-up and when at last anchor was
cast in Seattles harbor and the ship rested
at east, every man and every mule and
horse alive on the Victoria breathed
sigh of thankfuiness.

pitiless in it's violence. A terrific swell kept
the Victoria now on one side and again
on the other. The waves still rolled to
terrific height. When the ship lay in the

of the mountainous waves which rushed
