THE cOMMENCEMENTs.


Trinity commencement drew a
large number of people to Durham
With so distinguished a divine as
DR.. Lyman Abbott to preach the
baccalauFeate sermon and So emf
nent a lecturer as John Temple
Graves to deliver the literary ad-
dress, it is not surprising that the
attendance was large and that all
that attended felt well repaid. There
were 26 graduates.
The 1O5th commencement of the
State University last week was also
the t~wenty-fifth anniversary Of the
re-opening of this institution. There
were AZ graduates this year. The
attendance was large and many ex-
cellent addresses were delivered. At
a meeting of the Board of Trustees,
DR.. f. P. Venable, Professor of
Chemistry, was elected, to succeed
DIR. Alderman as President. DR..
Venable is recognized as n of the
finest scholars and most successful
teachers in the State. He is a Vir-
gilman by birth, was educated at the
University of Virginia and in Ger
many, and has been Professor of
Chemistry at the University since
1888.
The youngest college in the State
is the Baptist Female University,
but as "A success it is entitled to front
rank. Two hundred and nineteen
students were enrolled during it's
first session, which ended last Wed
nesday. It's most sanguine friends
never hoped for greater success than
it has attained. The first commence
ment was a complete success. The
Baptist people of North Carolina
know and love DR.. r. t. Vann, the
new President of this institution.
He graduated from Wake Forest
College in 1878, was in ministerial
work from 1874 till 1881, Professor
of English Literature, in Chowan
Female University from 81 till '83,
and Professor of English in Wake
Forest from '83 till '89, since which
time he has served as pastor of sew
eral churches When IL years of
age he lost both arms in a cane mill,
and has won success under circum-
stances that would have daunted
most men. 49,. 1r

AGAINST THE yuTE TRUST.


Here's an Alliance with some of
the old-time Alliance Alliance spirit
in it. We refer to Woodland Alliance,
No. $50, which met in regular session
June 1st and passed the following
resolutions
WHEREAS, The different jute bag
ging companies have formed a great
trust on jute bagging to unjustly en-
rich themselves by extortionate
prices on their goods to the detri-
ment of the consumer. Therefore
be it
ResoIUed, That the members of
Woodland Alliance, No. $50, pledge
themselves to use cotton cloth or
some other substitute to cover their
cotton until the price of jute is re-
duced to suit the consumer.
2. That we ask the cotton growers
of the country to join in with us to
put down this great. trust the second
time.
3. That we ask the County Ali
ances in the State to pass similar
resolutions and have them published
in The Progressive Farmer"
This is the kind of grit that all
admire. If every Alliance were as
courageous, progressive and enter
prising, farmers generally would
soon realize the benefits of organiza-
ton.

THE LAST DAYS OF CONGRESS.

Congress adjourned Thursday. II
had been in session since December
and had not been idle, though it did
many things it should not have done
and left undone many things it should
have done. 1t gave the country new
currency laws and securely fastened
the gold standard upon us for some
years to come. 1t passed the Porto
Rican tariff bill against the wishes of
a large element of the Republican
party, in violation of the pledges
| given Porto Rico by American au-
thorities, and in spite of the Presi-
dents declaration that it vas our
plain duty to give to the island free
trade. The House of Representa-
tives kicked out a Mormon polyg-
mamist, said kicking out being a
credit to the House, though the
method of procedure was faulty.
And the Senate sent back to private
life the corrupt Pennsylvania boss,
Matthew S. Quay, and came near
doing likewise unto the rich gentle
man from Montana, whose case, by the
way, goes over till the next session.
As to the heavy appropriations made,
more anon. In the line of antitrust
legislation nothing was done and
nothing attempted by the majority
that promised any substantial re
lief. The Nicaraugan Canal bill
passed the lower House of Congress
and will probably pass the Senate
next winter. So much for a brief
glance at the session just ended.
The antitrust bill, like the anti
trust law amounted to nothing. The
Senate early last week referred it to
the Judiciary Committee, where it
will slumber indefinitely.
Consideration of the circuit anti
oleomargarine bill was deferred.
This bill is a special order for De-
cember 9th, and Mr.. Grout says he
considers the bill as good as passed
on the 9Th day of December.
1t is asserted that the fail
r of the Senate to confirm the
nomination of Judge Ewart, 7set-
ties this will-known case; that
Judge Ewart's commission will ex-
pire with this session of Congress,
and he will not again be nominated.
After the August election, Senator
Pritchard will recommend some
other man for tile place.
After prolonged discussion Con
.gress surrendered to the armor plate
manufacturers. Not directly, but
in a manner equally acceptable to
the iron and steel magnates that
have so long heeced the government.
By the bill as finally passed Secre-
tary of the Navy Long is authorized
to purchase armor plate at any price
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-06-12

he may consider reasonable, or if the
price asked is unreasonable, to erect
a government armor plant at cost of
$4,000, 900. It is generally under
stood that Long will pay the price
demanded.
On Tuesday the Senate was en-
ivened by a breezy debate. Senator
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, asser-
ted that the Cramps, the great ship
building firm, gave $400, 900 to the
Republican campaign fund of 1892
with the understanding that it was
to be reimbursed, in case of Repub-
lican success, by heavy profits on
ship building contracts to be given
to the firm by Congress. The case
was all the more interesting in view
of the fact that Pettigrew was prom
inent in Republican ranks in 1892,
and that he gave Cramp himself as
authority for the charge. Petit
grew further asserted that the con-
tribution was improperly used by
the campaign managers. Senators
Carter and Hammer replied to Petit
grew and for nearly an hour n of
the most heated debates of the ses-
sion just ended ragged.
An appropriation Of S., 900, 900 was
made for Louisiana Purchase Cen
tennial Exposition to be held in St.
Louis in 1908.
With the surrender to the armor.
plate magnates as the last impor-
tant work done, Congress adjourned
and the Solons have gone home to
explain matters and dodge ques-
tions by impertinent constituents.

we congratulate in advance the ten

that there will be neighborhoods in
which these are many Progressive

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Now that hot weather and hot
politics tempt you away from regu-
lar meetings of your Sub-ATliance,
are you still doing your duty? Are
you standing the test as true men
and true members of the Order
should? Weighed in the balance,
are you and your Sub. found want
ing?
For years the powers of Europe
have been impatiently waiting for
some event that would enable them
to pounce upon and divide up the
Celestial Empire with some vestige
of justification. Many believe that
the Chinese have been Systematically
abused and mistreated for the pur-
pose of breeding such a rebellion as
that of the Boxers for the very pur-
pose of affording an excuse for the
long contemplated division of China
and apportionment of it's territory
among the powers. For our part we
are inclined to this opinion. If you
are looking for something interest
ing, watch China.
A suggestion worthy of emphasis
just at this time is this from the
June Southern Planter: do not
allow the wheat and oat crops to be-
come overripe before cutting. The
sample of grain will always be
brighter and the quality better if
cut just before becoming dead ripe,
and much loss from shaking will be
thus avoided. See to it that your
binder and harvester is in good
working order a week or ten days
before you r likely to need it, and
then, if any parts are need or repairs
required, the same can receive atten-
ton and the crops not have to stand
spelling for want of the machine to
cut it."

that given the place of honor on

"Pests of the Tobacco Crop" Those
interested in promising new indus

Prof. Soule's reply to "Tar Heel

matter. We are glad that "Tar
Heel Farmer" replied to Prof. Soule
in that it has elected such a we'll
written response from the latter.
And we hope that "Tar Heel Far
mer'' and all other readers will hold
themselves in readiness to comment
upon, criticise, and ask questions
about any article that appears in
our columns. Show your apprecia-
ton by asking for fuller information
about any subject you are interested

The article on page 5, "The Wives

profit by both husbands and wives.
Some parts of the article may be too
harsh, but as a whole it is good and
deserves the consideration of hus-
bands of farmers wives.
