ture of the sad change that has come
over the business within these few
short years:
"Since this paper w2s started the To-
bacco trade has change, greatly. In the
early days of the Journals career the
field was fair and inviting for manu1ac-
turers, leaf dealers, warenousemen ana
growers, and prosperity and happiness

mating every branch of the business IS

oppression will not always be borne, and
that in the end right Will triumph over

HUMILIATING PEACE.

HUMILIATING PEACE.
Winston Sentinel
1t had been announced tha. the matter
had all been fixed UP b. the Judge and
District Attorney, in conference with some
of the antiimpeachment lawyers, after a
letter from Chief Justice Fureh9s and that
mol pros would be entered.
We have been quietly awaiting the con
summation of this arrangement. as a
short way of dismissing these cases, but,
at the same time, rather preferring trial
with acquittal.
Now, however. the news comes that the
plan agreed upon is to enter mol pros
with leave" which we take to mean,
practically that the registrars are to go
with the shadow of implied guilt hanging
over them and to be subject to arrest
and trial upon the same charge at the will
of the District Attorney and others.
If this be tlse kind of peace arranged
by the anti-impeachment crowd it is not
peace to boast of, but is a peace bought
at the price of humiliation iwth the threat
of revenge and renewal of hostilities
brooding necessarily over it.
