Miss Helen Morris Lewis, woman
suffragist, paidologist, and all-'round
up-tO-date refOrmess, has announced
herself a candidate for superintendent
of the Asheville water-works. North
Carolina is coming along-no need TO
fret about that.-Charlotte Observer.
News comes from Washington that
it is the belief there that Mayor A. M.
Waddell, of Wilmington, will be nomi-
mated for governor by the democrats
next year. There are q number of
prominent gentlemen looking with
longing eye to this honor and it is too
early yet to predict who will be the
nominee.-Winston Journal.
Those preachers who are approving
the policy of shooting the Filipinos in
order to get an open door to carry the
gospel are, as a rule those preachers
who have not sought to carry the Cos
pei to the heather at their very doors.
They shed tears over the conditions Of
the Filipinos; they let men and women
Of their own blood die in the slums
without carrying them the light Of the
gospel. "Beginning at Jerusalem" was
the divine command.-Raleigh News
and Observer.
Each day the reports from the Philip
pines tell of the steady rout Of Aguin-
aldo's army, and the gradual advance
of the Americans. Following these
comes the voice of the administration
from Washington telling Of the great
satisfaction that is felt with the pros
pect of smashing" the insurgents, and
how great is our daily victory. But the
| g.eat heart Of the American people is
not in this war. To man. it seems an
unrighteous cause that is being pushed
through by cannon and sword simply
because we can, and because an admin
istration at Washington cries, kill!
Slay!"-Wilson News.

The %butcheries in the Philippines
have ceased and very much to the re-
joicing of the humane and just.
South Carolina is moving to punish
legally the fifteen men supposed to have
lynched the negro postmaster Baker,
and his infant child and burned the
post Office. Lynching for many causes
is most deplorable. The one cause that
arouses the southern whites is rape
upon defenceless white women and
children. There will hardly be trials
for lynching such devils in ebony.
Preaching the funeral of silver is an
every day business in newspapers of a
certain stripe. Others believe it is the
Invest of corpses. Decapitating Bryan
is also another amusement Of the same
newspapers. But his ghost will not
down at their bidding"

And the world is glad or bright or sad,

are fierce fighters for liberty and indie

ciplined.

Days ago we observed with pleasure,
that the attorney general of Ohio had
sent out a circular letter TO every pros
ecuting attorney in that state, in which
their attention was at ono invited to
the antitrust law of Ohio, and urging
them to come up TO his help in endeav-
oring 10 enforce it and TO bring viola
tors to punishment He says 10 them
1T goes without saying that it is the
duty Of every public law official TO do
what they can toward an honest en-
forcement of our trust law, and this
can better be done in many instances
by and through the prosecuting attor-
neys and on account Of the relations
which exist between the attorney gem
eral Of the state and the prosecuting at
torneys, and as is my earnest desire 10
see this law faithfully and impartially
enforced in the interest of all persons
who may be affected by these unlawful
combinations, l therefore TAX the lib
erty to call attention etc"
Pennsylvania has awakened enough
to the gigantic trust conspiracy TO pass
a resolution TO investigate by commits
sion and report to the legislature.
New Jersey ought to take steps to
put a stop'to trusts in that state, for of
all others it is the most afflicted by the
great curse.

The Messenger has a dozen times
shown the great stupidity and blunder
of clothing the ignorant, unframed ne
groes with the ballot. 1t has again and
again pointed out the wrongfulness,
the absurdity, the actual immortality of
giving power to 81 per cent of negro
taxpayers to control 96s of white tax
payers. If the poor old Independent
had to bear for a year such a most foul
iniquity it would hiss like a Gag Of
rattlesnakes and howl like a cage of
hyenas. The Standard calls attention
to the fact that this large white tax
paying element owing So per cent of
the property are giving as much Per
capita to the negroes for their education
as to the whites, that is, the white peo-
pie are fitting the negroes for an intel
ligent use Of the suffrage by passing
an educational qualification and open
ing 1000 schools to 140, 900 negro chill
dren.
North Carolina white folks who are
white folks will AXE care of that wise,
needed, judicious amendment. Now
mark, Edmund Carpenter has a new
book entitled America in Hawaii" 1t
is by one not carried away by fanati-
cism and a clamor for the low and the
mean. Even the Independent admits it is
an unprejudiced account Of annexation
and the facts are given "coldly, bold
ly." We do not concern ourselves with
the account of how the wrong was ac-
complished against the will of the peo-
pie of the island, which is a most foul
blot to all Americans concerned and a
stain upon this country, be it republic
or empire. But see how the Indepen-
dent endorses and palliates when it is
the north dealing with the negroes and
others, 1000 miles away from our
shores:
1T was a situation in which the white
residents, owners of property in the is
land and controllers of it's industries,
affairs and civilization generally, felt
that they and the interests they repre-
sented were to be abandoned to a native
rule, with a vast capacity in it for
wrecking everything. The only diff
Guilty in this argument is to put it so
hat it will not work just as we'll for the
theory Of white mans government in
the south against the negroes, as in
Hawaii against the natives. Mr.. Car
penter tells the story fully and fairly,
in calm confidence that the facts can be
trusted to vindicate the annexation
movement"
: We believe no sincere, honest man
can read that specious plea and not
have a contempt for the sheet that
prints it as it's view. 1t reve-ls intense
narrowness, a disingeniuous and unfair
mind blind to it's own moral obliquity.
Mr.. McKelway sees it in clear light and
puts it as follows:
$50 the negrophilist has a limited
perspective. The wrongs of the negro
in the north are beneath notice. In
Hawaii and the Philippines the blacks
must take their position as a subject
race, and whatever the white residents,
owners of property, and controllers Of
industrial affairs and civilization gen.
orally do, is j%ustifiable. The only diff
ficulty in this argument is it's too man
ifest application. We doubt if ever the
finger of indication was put so con-
sp%icuously upon the sore of hate, to in
wife the attention of a wondering
world"

STATES MOVING AGAINST MONSTER


1t is said that new trusts average
three a day. This great consolidation
and widespread conspiracy are no. only
against the people at large, in increas-
ing prices upon most things, but they
are particularly affective to operatives
Tens of thousands are probably turned
out, of men and women, because of the
trust organization business. The com
bination fixes prices to please them
selves. There is nothing to prevent it
Opposition is completely driven from
the field. The Atlanta Journal says:
"There has been a throttling of COM
petition and an interference with the
natural laws of trade which the masses
of the people cannot fail to regard with
grave apprehension"

The death of Rev. James Needham,
the Oldest preacher in North Carolina,
past or present, occurred on LIST April
at his home near Pilot Mountain. On
End May next he would have reached
his hundreth anniversary, and would
have preached on that day at Winston
if able to do so. His last sermon was
preached at Winston in November last,
when more than SO years and six
months old. That vas a sermon
preached by an older man than was
ever heard before in North Carolina,
or in the south no doubt or in the
former American republic. The ven
cradle minister of Christ had been for
more than sixty years in the active
ministry. He was ready no doubt fol
the change, and has gone up to his
Heavenly Father to receive the blessed
reward of immortality in glory.
