AN AWKWARD DEFENSE.

The utterances of Mr.. Havemeyer he
fore the industrial commission, sufficient
ly salty to stick in the readers mind
and not to need repetition, have been
giving Republican organs every where
more or less pain and worry. A number
Of them have not forebOrne to cudgel
Mr.. Havemeyer despite his usefulness
when the hat is being passed.
The latest newspaper to chide Mr..
Havemeyer is the Chicago Times-Herald
which for some maccountable reason
thinks Mr.. Havemeyer indicated that the
Republican party sustains paternal re-
lations to trusts. Says the Times Her
aid:
when Henry o. Havemeyer declared
before the industrial commission at
Washington that 1.-The mother of all
trusts is the customs tariff bill he should
have accompanied the assertion with u
bill of particulars. When he said that
there is probably not an industry that
requires protection of more than 10 per
cent. ad valorem' he should have forti-
fed the statement with convincing arsu-
ment.
If he will do these things he will find
that the country is very ready to listen
to him. There is no party in it that is
marching in the service Of trusts. The
Republican party advocates a tariff to
encourage and protect American indus
tries and to raise revenue for the main
tenance Of the government. 1t has never
aimed to benefit trusts as such, either
directly or Incidentally. Nor does it
believe now that the tariff is the mother
of trusts or that 10 per cent. tariff on
an average is sufficient for the general
purposes of protection"
There is no party in the country that
favors trusts; the Republican party fav-
ors a tariff to protect home industries.
This is q defense so awkward as to be
practically a confession of guilt. The
Democratic party is acquitted uneqniv.
ocally by this Republican newspaper of
having fostered trusts; but it felt that at
least little explanation was needed as
TO the Republican party.
As Mr.. Havemeyer called no names it
is queer that this Republican newspa-
per should SO bristle up.

THE DEPOT BURNED.
Statesmen Caught-The Damage Not
Known.

Newton. n. c., June 19.-(Specialo -
The Southern Railroad depot at this
place was burned last night. Nothing
was left but the large water tank.
The fire was discovered by an engineer
Of through-freight train at about
D. IN. last night. He blew the alarm
but when discovered the depot was IL
mass of flames on the inside. Fortr
nately there was not much freight III the
freight room. Two drummers left their
baggage i'm the depot-one of them being
Mr.. Wallace, of Statesville, and the
other one salesman of shoes. There
were FIVE salesmen's trunks.
Generally there is a large amount OF
yarn and cotton in the depot, but there
was none last night.
The safe was pulled ont t1iis morning
and opened. Everything in it is all
right All the records of the office We're
lost. the books being too large to go
in the safe All connection by wire
is severed, but Il lnesman will come
today.
The fire is supposed to be of inceE-
diary origin, as the fire started ut the
end farthest away from the offices. il
is thought that someone broke into
the depot for the, purpose of robbery
but, finding no money, ser the depot
on fire out of anger at finding nothing
and to conceal his crime. Two or
three suspicious looking negroes We're
seen at or near the depot last night
ard it is supposed that they were the
incendiaries.
The depot is in the extreme north
end of the town and nothing else was
burned. A house just across the track
was saved only by the hardest work.
The depot had just been painted and
new seats put in the waiting rooms.
While it was not so fine, it was one
of the neatest and most convenient
depOts in this part Of the State.
The loss is not known, as no one
knows what the depot cost and as all
the records are lost no estimation can
be made of the loss of goods. A claim
agent will arrive today and adjust all
claims. The depot will be rebuilt as
soon as possible.

THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE SIDE
OF PEACE.

To the Editor: Touching the account
of the attack on my son carried an by
your reporter on Saturday i would say
that by no means all of the col0red peo-
pie of Kittrell are blame-wOrthy. The
most respectable element of the race. led
by postmaster j. Fl. Tharp, have thrown
their influence on the side of peace, and
acted in commendable manner through
out the two years of race friction at this
place. Yours truly.

THE DAY OF COMMISSIONS.

These be the palmy days of commits
sions. Just as all things in private life
from the over-driving of a horse to the
ultimate problems of civilization, are to
be settled by the organization of socie-
ties. so in public affairs everything is to
yield to the benefcent labors of co'u-
missions, either static or junketing. but
chiefly junketing.
Just now the seas are bubbling in the
wake of these commissions ana the full
ness Of the earth is stretching and smii-
pine commission that has broken and
doomed in manifestoes whose perfervid
rhetoric would have thrilled the secret
soul of Blanco with pride and JOY. Hav-
ing produced crop of manifestoes it is
coming back again. There is the Ca
madam tariff and boundary commission.
which has just now squabbled and
suuawked itself into a state of utter ex-
haustion and has gone off to the seaside
and left a sweet tangle for Hay and
Salisbury to make what Of theJ may.
The Venezuelan boundary commission
has succeeded to its place in the public
ear and at Paris, in the focus of DIS
traction, is doing it's best to confound the
confusion, while at the Hague the peace
commission is doing nothing with such
pomp and ceremony and to the tune of
so insistent fanfare as makes the world
pause and gasp. With the Beef Investi-
gators and the Mazet menagerie the pub
lie is already quite familiar.
But the very gloss of fashion and the
mould of form for all commissions IS the
Nicaragua Canal Commission. Before it
pranced out before the admiring gaze OF
the two hemispheres, all the ground had
been thoroughly gone over. The route
had been surveyed and resurveyed. The
hills had been weighed, the valleys meas
ured. All the data had been compiled
and was accessible in the reports of pre-
vious commissions, in the days when
commissioners were supposed to be fo"
use and not for sound or ornament, on
file at Washington. Appointed to do
nothing and with nothing to do but draw
and perquisites, it is full
filing its mission with mastery OF
detail and technique that is alike the
envy and wonder Of all competitors.
Undoubtedly it is the harvest season
of commissions.
