Raleigh, \. c., Aug. 3.-After one Of
the most bitterly contested campaigns
ever known in the old North state the
democrats and white supremacy tri-
umphed Thursday by a majority of
about 10000. The election disfran-
chised the negro and changed the state
legislature from it's combination ma
jority of republicans and populists to
straight democratic, insuring the de-
feat of Marion Butler for reelection as
United States senator. The negroes, as
general thing, remained away from
the polls.

for governor, was defeated by Charles

CHINA HELD GUILTY.
strong Indictment by Correspond-
ent In Pei<inx Of the London
MaiI-aIyes Important News

London, Aug. 2-At last the story of
Peking has been told. Dr. Morrison,
in the Times, holds up the Chinese
government before the world as
guilty, and to degree of infamy and
Idupicity that exceeds the surmise Of
its worst detractors In the same dis
patch he gives more hopeful view of
the prospects of the besieged than has
been expressed by any Of the others
who have been heard from.
Sir Claude MacDonald's latest letter,
while a strong Indictment of the Chi
nese government is not nearly so much
90 as Dr.. Morrison's dispatch That cor
respondent, with the imperial edicts
as authority, declares that as late as
July 2 the imperial government urged
the Boxers to continue their loyal
and patriotic services in exterminat-
ing the Christians" He explains those
marvellous changes in the Chinese atti-
tude which have so puzzled the world.
It appears that all the appeals for in
tervention and all the protestations of
friendship have been due entirely to
the victories of the allies at Tientsin.
The ministers at Peking owed their
safety up to July 21 not to govern
ment protection, but to the scarcity of
Chinese ammunition and to the fear
which the Iientsin victories inspired.
When it is remembered how great
reliance is placed upon DR.. Morrison
in England, the Importance of his ex-
posure of the Chinese government can
scarcely be overestimated. It seems
to Danish all hopes entertained by
Lord Salisbury that the Chinese gov
ernment might yet be proved not di-
rectly responsible for the outrage, and
it may result in an entire cessation OF
the negotiations with Chinese diplo-
matists, if not an open declaration OF
war On the part of the powers.

FIGHT TRUST WITH coNvIcTS.


Kansas. always unique and usually
spectacular in it's methods, saws the
Denver Post, has found an effective
way of fighting the trust that controls
the binding product OF the coun-
try. This summer the trust has not
fattened ON Kansas All the twine It
has sold In the Sunfiower state has
been at half its usual price and Gus
toners We're none too plentiful even
then
Last spring the Kansas state gov
ernment began the manufacture Of
twine in the penitentiary. Convict la
Dor was utilized so that the cost Of
the product was reduced to the mini
mum. For fear that the demand
would exceed the supply, the sale of
the twine was restricted to the farm
ers OF the state, restriction it is pro-
posed to remove, as during the coming
winter large number of convicts win
be employed constantly in the manu-
facture of supply of twine sufficient
to meet the needs OF several states.
From the viewpoints of the Kansas
farmer the experiment has been an
unqualified success. It has reduced
the price of twine to one-half the for
mer cost and the prisoners in the pen
ltentiary have not injuriously affected
any class of labor employed in the
state, which has no factory in which
twine IS manufactured. Were there
such factories there, vigorous protests
no doubt would be made against the
employment of convict labor. As there
is no class of labor affected, the
scheme is regarded by Kansas as an
unmiye1 h1essino

Escaped Taxation.

The board of equalization at Duluth,
made the discovery that a valuable rail-
road bridge over which the Northern Pa
cl1c road runs to West Superior has
been left off the tax rolls. 1t had been
supposed that it was railroad property
and therefore exempt, but it was found
that 1t is in the hands of a bridge COM
pany that collects rent for its use from
the railroad. and that has been escap-
ing taxation for years. The Duluth half
of the bridge. which goes to Superior,
will be placed on the rolls.
