IT'S Their Nature To.

While there would be the sheeresi
hypocrisy in Democrat expression oi
sympathy for Missouri Republicans
now struggling neck-deep in sea ol
troubles of factional brewing, the truth
that there is a poignant pathos in
situation may nevertheless be an.
nounced in all sincerity.
According to the claims of these fol.
lystricken spoilsmen themselves, there
has never been time when they could
SO i'll afford to engage in a rough-and-
tumble catch-as- -catch-can fight within
their own ranks. For months they
have been proclaiming that they were
on the very verge of carrying Missouri
for their party. They would have car
ried the State Last November, they as-
sert, If the national organization had
properly supported their efforts. Blu,
now, with a new combination effected,
victory In the next campaign was sure
All they had to do was to stand together.
And this Is the last thing in the
world which the Missouri Republican

existing situation as proof. No sooner
was there new deal on In this State.

They know that behind the new deal

He is out for the stuff. His one con-

The fight now at its height in Mis-

The country at large win doubtless be
amazed at the spectacle of q party orr

fight so disastrous. But Misscurians
are not in the least surprised. The

at one another's throats for so long

To Bar out all Cheap Foreign Labor.

The next Congress will have fight
over the re-enactment OF the Geary
Chinese exclusion law. Labor organi-
zations are sending petitions to the
President and to Congressmen, oppos-
ing free admission of the Chinese.
Several railroads and steamship lines
and some manufacturers are said to be
quietly working in the interest of an
open door to labor from all the world.
Samuel Gompers has prepared brief
for the President, in support of the
Geary law. McLaurin of South Caro-
lima wants broader exclusion act to
take the place of the Geary. He does
not believe in singing out the Chinese
II protective tariff really is In the
interest of the American laborer and
not the American manufacturer alone.
McLanrin wants the protective princi-
pie applied against all pauper labor
from everywhere. All undesirable la
bor should be kept out, according to
the theory of McLaurin. Representa-
tive r. r. Hit Of Illinois. Chairman OF

not travelling in Europe. In this con-
nection, the tabooed citizens tell a
good story-and tell it for true, too.
The r. a. o. had ARRANGED to entertain
Mr.. V. 1t was the first time the mill
lionaire was to so honor him, and the
whole household was devoted to the
success of the occasion. A special Chef
was employed, and the servants we're
painstakingly drilled and instructed
some to wait on the table, each behind
particular chair; others to serve the
dishes, course upon course, as required
by the regulations of plus-altitudinous
society; and yet others for other de-
tail. One old darkey was carefully
drilled to high-art reception of distin-
guished guests and to announce the
same according to the latest and most
approved usages of the nobility In
other and more favored lands. Among
other instructions he was to address
Mr.. V. as ..my lord" and so announce
him in audible tones. After repeated
lessons, he pronounced himself perfect
in his role. Don't you be Harmed
bout me, KuhneI; all has to do is to
throw de doo' open and say, My Lord
Vanderbiltr in delegible voice. Don't
skeer bout me, Kuhnel; Use all right. "
The anxiously expected diners arrived
in due season, and were duly admitted
by the aforesaid darkey, now laboring
under high degree of excitement.
With solemn visage and consequential
flourish he cried out in ''delegible"
tones, ''My God Vanderbilt, sah!"
Some say the Colonel tainted, but as
this approaches libel want it distinct
understood that don't believe it. An
American who wants to call another
American .'my lord" in worship of
his millions, wouldn't and couldn't be
put out by so Insignificant an error: in
the right direction, too-upward and
onward.
However, the Asheville citizen is an
independent, self-respecting human,
and he doesn't let the 5 microbe breed
insomnia in him. He rests the restor-
ing night through, thanks God when
he awakes in the morning refreshed,
and arms himself in confidence for the
conflict the duty of the day is sure to
bring. He is charitable to the stranger,
and takes broad view of things: If
the mountains on every hand compass
in his comprehensibility he climbs
them to their tops and sees the extent
and grandeur of the Great Beyond. By
their obtrusiveness the Mammon wcr-
shippers seem great host, but puff
of the wind of Americanism is as a
simeon or sirocco of the desert to
them: they curl up and are blown into
nothingness; but the sturdy independ-
ence of the Fathers will endure for all
time-or, at least, until that time
when the Creator shall pronounce man
no good and replace him with more
perfect work.
There now! E. D. A.

years from January /, 1871. to De-
cember 81, 1900; also that the dis
bursements made for the redemption
of bonds, as shown by exhibit "BB, !"
have been In conformity with the re-
quirements Hereunder called or ma
tured, and that all disbursements of
money from the sinking fund have
been properly made and accounted for.
The payment of bonds which have
been redeemed and cancelled by the
State have been, with few exceptions,
made through the National Bank of
Commerce of New York, the States
fiscal agent, or Kohn. Pepper & Co.
Nearly all coupon and fractional in

the fiscal agents of the State. The
Commissioners have not merely taken
credit for the money shown expended
for bond redemption and for interest
payments, but as an additional pro-

through the different banks and bank
ers, by whom all the items have been
accounted for, with the exception Of

and had begun early in the day 10 hear protests
against the nomination Of independent candidates.
There were twenty protests be decided There
was much dissatisfaction among the crowd OF poll

ing for decisions. They declared that the delay OF
the board was simply Tammany trick devised to
deprive them Of their right appeal the courts
for a review Of the decisions.
Under the statutes the decisions of the board
must be rendered fifteen days before the day OF
election, in order that candidates may ask the
Supreme Court for review of their cases as de-
cided by the board IN cOnformance with this stat
ute the board should have rendered its decisions
by midnight last night.
Julius NJ. Mayer. chairman Of the Law Commit
tee OF the Republican County Committee, who was

OF the candidates. He based this assertion on the
decision rendered by the Court OF Appeals in the
Hennessy case last year. in which the court held
that the failure OF election officials perform their
duties did not deprive candidates Of their rights
TO appeal the courts.

"THE AMERICAN DANGER"
GERMAN MANUFACTURERS DISCUSS THE
FORMATION OF A EUROPEAN
CUSTOMS UNION

Berlin. Oct, 21.-The Bund der Industrienen
held a general meeting here to-day at which
was discussed the American danger and the
new German tariff The general secretary Of
the bund, Dr. Wendlandt, described the Amer.
can danger" extremely grave. and said that
Germanys manufacturers were fully conscious
OF this danger. He quoted figures showing the
extraordinary growth Of exports from the
United States 10 Germany and the decline in
the movement OF goods in the opposite direc-
ton, and complained that the average Of duties
imposed by the United States is 80 per cent.
while that OF Germany is only 10 per cent. A
further hardship. he said is the requiring of
declaration OF invoices before a consul, thus
giving Americans possession of business secrets
of the German manufacturers. He asserted
that the United States Government maintained
detectives in Germany for the purpose OF dis
covering trade secrets and undervaluations, and
cited the case OF a factory in Saxony which had
been ruined thereby.
Referring TO President Roosevelt's reported
wish 10 come to terms with Germany the
speaker said
Germany's best policy will be 20 walt for the
Americans TO come to US, and then TO demand
the removal Of the worst injustces and annoy
ances before We begin fixed treaty, Germany
should refuse 10 act until the United States re-
dUces the duties below 20 per cent.
Discussing the remedies at Germany's dis
posaI, DR., Wendlandt said the chief one

America 10 her senses. and counteract the
boundless despotism Of trusts" He recon-
mended the formation of a Central European
customs union against the United States. and,
admitting the great difficulties in the way of
this. declared that If il should prove impossible,
then common agreement should be made TO
treat American goods differently from those OF
other countries.
other speakers warned their hearers against
a tariff with the United States since that
country easily get from other countries
what il imports from Germany, while Ger
many would be unable 10 do the same.
The bund adopted resolutions favoring the
passage Of the tariff bill after dropping the
double system Of duties grain, in order that
Germany may have new duties for the securing
of advantageous trade relations with the United
States. The bund also recommended that the
plan for a European customs union against the
United States be further considered
