THE SALE MUST BE A PUBLIC ONE
Maj. Guthrie Files Claim Against
Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Com
pany For Over $4,000 and
Interest For Nearly
Two Years.

IF Judge Simonton doesn't do what
the railroads and the trusts want him
to do it's an error Of the head and
not Of the heart.
And when his attention is called to
these mistakes he is always willing
TO correct them.
All of which is very kind and nice
of Judge Simonton, as the following
will show:
On Saturday morning, as recorded
in these columns at the time, q decis-
ion of the Blackwell Durham Tobacco
Company case was received here. rms
decision was adverse to Maj. Guthrie
and in favor of the trust, but 1T was
accompanied by an order referring
the case to the Standing Master that
he take testimony on the matters OF
fact alleged in the bill and not admit
ted by the answer"
While this decision was, on the face
of it-a complete Waterloo for Maj.
Guthrie in his fight, it was in reality
Just exactly what he wanted, namely.
an opportunity to go into a court OF
competent jurisdiction and take tes-
timony respecting the character. pur-
poses and designs OF the American To-
bacco Company"
Though Judge Simonton seems not
to have known this and realized its
terrible consequences, the Trust did
fully realize it and it set to work at
once to have it remedied.
1T was early Saturday morning
when the decision arrived here and
was given to the public, including the
attorneys OF the American Tobacco
Company.
And they didn't like it bit-these
attorneys-it is said, and they made
bold to tell Judge Simonton so.
But as to what happened can only
be SURPASSED from the following sup
Elementary order received here yes
terday from Judge Simonton. 1t is
worth a careful perusal:
Circuit Court of the United States,
Eastern District of North Carolina.
George Arents, and others
VS..
The Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Com
pany, and others.
Without prejudging the merits of this
case, it is proper to say that so much
of the bill as prays confirmation OF a
sale TO the American IODdcCO Company,
will not be considered. The frank admis-
sion by compliments that they are Of
ficers and employees of that company gives
an additional reason to the unwillingness
of the court to depart from the ordinary
rule of q sale at auction, and to accept a
private bid. The allegation of this pro-
posed purchase is the provoking cause
and Justification of SO much of the an
swer as relates to the purposes, standing
and designs of the American Tobacco
Company. These allegations furnish a
reason why the sale be not made to that
company. Inasmuch then as no such prop
osition will be considered by the court,
and the sale, if indeed the sale be or
dered, will be at public auction, under
the provisions of the Act of Congress,
the Standing Master need not take and
report any testimony respecting the char
acter, purposes and designs of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company.

Bryanitcs and Boxers.

1t is noticeable that nearly every
newspaper in this section which sup
ports the Bryanite cause has expressed
a certain amount of sympathy with
the cause OF the Boxers, and has
had more or less criticism to make OF
the policy Of the allies In sending troops
to China. In general the position which
these newspapers assume. with more or
less OF unanimity. Ii that the Chinese
people have right to resent the intru-
sion Of foreigners into their country:
that particularly Is there no warrant
for the sending OF missionaries to at
tempt to unsettle the religious faith OF
nese should be let alone. permitted to
revert to their former policy of nom

has distinctly and In terms given an In
dorsement to the course OF the admin
istration In sending troops to endeavor
70 rescue the remaining Americans who
may be alive in China. and TO punish
the dastardly murders of American
women and children.
1t Is particularly TO be noticed that
this Bryani;e criticism Is not directed
solely against the policy OF the adj
ministration, which might be account
ed for on partisan grounds. but dis
tinctly assumes the position that the
Chinese are right in enisavoring TO ex-
ciude all foreigners, and that all the

II is more than a coincidence that the
Rgyanlte press. wlth substantial unan-
unity, have assumed this position. 1t is
simply another manifestation Of the
same spirit with which the Bryanitea
have approached all national questions
in tbs last four years In many respects
they entertain opinions which parallel

its previous isolation and take a part
In the affairs Of the world, proportionate
to the size, power. wealth and import
ance Of the country. They believe that
the people of the United States should
confine all OF their energies TO the linn
its Of this country, and should reduce
those limits to what they were before
the present administration took office.
They oppose any steps toward the up
building Of the shipping interest, or the
development of commerce, particularly
with Asia They are against the up
building ofithe navy for the protection
OF our commerce in foreign lands; or
the upbuilding Of our army to guard
our new possessions and to restore and
maintain order within their limits.
They object to this country taking
part. as one of the great powers of the
world. in the restoration of order in
China and the setting up OF a govern
ment which will afford security for the
lives and property of foreigners who
may be residents there. and which will
give in its adhesion to the rules Of inter-
national law, as understood among the
nations Of the civilized world. In other
words. they propose for this country a
programme marvelously similar to that
which the Boxers propose for China;
programme of isolation and withdrawal
from all connection with the affairs OF
the world in general; with the energies
Of our people limited to the expansion
OF our domestic trade and domestic in
dustrIes; and absolute non-participation
In any of the duties or obligations
which a power Of the first class owes
to the other countries Of civilization.
The Boxers propose to keep all for
preserve the isolation which they deem
the proper thing for them. The
Bryanites propose the same policy of
isolation for this country, by combining
the American people to the limits Of
their own continental borders. The
one seeks to bar the outside world out;
the other their own people in.
Bryanites and Boxers are both affiict-
ed with the same mania: the difference
In the manifestation Is simply due to
the difference in education and envi-
ronment. Hence the natural manifes-
tation OF sympathy. the one with the
other.

creeks where discoveries had been
made were withheld from location and
reserved for the crown. The right to

Some of the more offensive regula-
tons were modified and a few OF the
more audacious rogues were removed,
but in the mistakes made there seemed
to have been no lesson learned. The
year following the Klondike excitement
discoveries were made in the Atlin dis
trict. Of British Columbia. and, un-
mindful Of the wretched blunders COM
mitted on the Yukon, the provincial
authorities at once passed an alien law
which drove nearly all of the miners
out OF this new and promising field.
arrested all development work, threw
titles into confusion and gave the dis
trict a setback from which It has not
yet recovered.
Knowing all this the people In the
Porcupine country naturally object to
being compelled to conduct their min
ing operations under the authority OF
a government that has invariably SUBJ
jected new mining communities to irk-
some and unreasonable regulations and
where the development has been arrest
ed to such an extent by greedy exac-
tons and maladministration In their
efforts to hold their district within
American jurisdiction, the miners OF
the Porcupine win have the sympathy
and support Of every mining man who
has ever had to do with the oppressive
rule the Dominion has exercised over
It's new mining districts.
