It is to be hoped that the coming

Great Falls Tribune which cautions
the distinguished gentlemen who are
to make laws for the state to refrain

AS far as Sheriff Freeman is con

Preston Porter a closed incident.
In a decidedly vigorous letter to the
district attorney he disregards the
usual circumlocutory language OF
diplomacy and intimates that the gov

whom he is addressing are inclined to
resort to tactics calculated to catch
the range. Of vision enjoyed by those

QUESTIONS IT SETTLED.

The speech delivered by President
Mckinley last Saturday evening at
the banquet Of the Union League Of
Philadelphia was important in two
respects. It was his first public ex-
preston since the election and interest
for that a attaches to it. The
second reason for it's Importance is
that it was made the vehicle for ex-
pressing the presidents sentiments
and opinion in reference to the issues
decided by the election which decreed
that for the second time he shall be
the nations chief executive. One
sentence he used sets forth his views
of some of the ideas entertained by
the man and party who opposed him.
In this regard he said: "The value Of
a national victory can only be right
fully measured and appreciated by
what it averts as we'll as by what it
accomplishes." Of the things accom-
plished by the recent national victory
he said: .."
We cannot over estimate the great
Importance and the far-reaching con-
sequences of the electoral contest
which ended on the 9th of November.
It has to me no personal phase. It is
not the triumph of an individual, nor
altogether of a party, but an emphatic
declaration by the people Of what
they believe and would have main
tanned in government. A great var
iety of subjects vas presented and dis
cussed in the progress Of the cam
paign. We may differ as to the extent
of influence of the several issues in
volved, but we all are agreed \as to
certain things which it settled. II
records the unquestioned endorsement
of the gold standard, industrial indie
pendence, broader markets, CONNER
cial expansion, reciprocal trade, the
open-door in China, the inviolability
of public faith, the Independence and
authority of the judiciary and peace
and benefcent government under
American sovereignty in the Philip
pines. American credits are unim-
paired, the honor Of the American flag
unsullied and the obligations of a
righteous war and treaty Of pea3e un-
repudiated.
In assuming for his party the great
responsibility placed upon it by the
people the President dwelt upon the
problems committed to it and spoke as
the patriot he has always shown him
self to be when he declared that they
are too exalted for craftsmanship. The
task of settlement, he saidy is for the
entire American people 70 tine anti
imperialists he gave this assurance:
Liberty has not lost, but gained in
strength. The structure Of the faith
ers stands secure upon the foundation
on which they raised it, and is today,
as it has been in the past. and as it
will be in the years to come, ''the gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people"
Be not disturbed; there is no danger
tom the empire; there is no fear OF
the republic.

HIS CLOTH.

Several days ago the Chicago Meth
odist minister's society held a meeting
and among other matters discussed by
the reverend gentlemen was the recent
burning by a mob of the negro rapist
in Colorado. It was moved to adopt
a resolution denouncing the action
of the mob and the matter
was progressing fairly II the
direction Of an adoption of the reso-
luton when a sudden and totally I'M
expected obstruction was encountered
in the shape of a vehement protest
from the Rev. DR.. W. B. Leach, pastor
of the Wicker Park church. He said
he opposed the resolution on several
grounds; one of which was that it
contained reflections on the governor
of Colorado, and the other because 1t
did not mention a single word OF
adherence of the awful crime that
the negro had committed. Another
cause of opposition from him was
that the resolution denounced the mob
without excepting the outraged father.
But the gentleman did not stop there.
After speaking Of the frequency of &C.
currence of the crime for which the
negro was burned and the inability of
the law to put a stop to its commits
sion, DR.. Leach boldly and emphati-
cally declared that should n Of the
members of his W family be so
brutally assaulted as was the daughter
of the man Frost, he would be the
first one to apply a match to the pile
of faggots upon which it was purposed
to burn the perpetrator of the assault.
AS is to be supposed the doctors
utterances caused a storm Of indigna-
ton and protests, but he adhered to
his position and held out against all
ATTEMPTS to cause him to withdraw his
unministerial remarks.
While the reverend gentleman may
be pardoned for his expressions as a
man and father, his conduct when ap-
piled to his sacred calling is indefensi-
BILE and the brethren who condemned
and denounced him acted within their
rights as ministers Of the gospel.
When men in his calling SO far forget
themselves as to Justify violation Of
the laws by a mob, and particularly SO
atrocious a violation as the Colorado
mob was guilty of, the courts might
as we'll be abolished and all laws al
lowed to go by default. Ministers of
the gospel by their teachings and ex-
amples are supposed to be the aide1s
of the law and of those whose duty it
is to enforce them and when they so
disregard their OWL teachings and
those of the Master whom they are
supposed to serve as 60 take sides with
frenzied mobs gathered for unlawful
purposes then religion loses its ennob-
ling influence and the safety Of society
and the country is endangered.
DR.. Leach should resign lis calling
and enter some other where his teach
ings would be less dangerous thar
when uttered from the exalted posi-
ton he now occupies.

attendance this year will exceed that

The Wilson graded school has an
exhibit at Raleigh during this week.
Mr.. Mangum being ever ready to en-
courage his pupils in their undertake
ings. has placed before the public some

Friday will close the third month of
the Wilson tobacco market. The price
of tobacco has held up during this
time very well. There LAY been sold
during the months of August, Septem-
Der and October about 1000, 900 pounds.
This record is far short of last sea-
sons, but it is thought by tobacco
people that the entire seasons sales
will reach 5000, 900 pounds. The quail
ity of tobacco being offered now is
about the average and this aids very
much in keeping up h high prices.

tween Carr and Simmons; both have
an organized body working for them.
