TRUST PRINCIPLE.

New York, March 24.-John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., in an address to
his Bible class in the Fifth Avenue
Baptist Church on "Why Should
We Join the Church," spoke in
part as follows:
"To fight the battle alone is to
be lost. Association with others is
an absolute necessity. 1t would be
successful. 1t would be like see
ing a soldier fighting singly for
his country as to see the Christian
fightiSg = God from without the
church
"In union there is strength and
success. We can see this illustrated
every day in the business world.
The business man, with small
capita, finds it to his benefit to
unite his money and interests with
those of his neighbOr. The benefits
that derive from their combined
capital and labor are proportional
ely greater than those that would
accrue if both worked singly. And
these partners III turn find it benss
fetal to join their partnership with
other partnerships and so on until
the great corporation is founded,
each union extending the benefits
and possibilities of all concerned
without the loss so common in
single effort !"

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.

AS an all round newspaper it is
to be feared that The Congressional
Record will never succeed, says the
Portland (Me.) Advertiser. It's
hopeless conservation is seen from
it's reports Of the Tillman- McLaurin
encounter.
After setting down the words
which led up to this lamentable
boxing. match-how Tillman ac-
cused his colleague Of having been
bribed by patronage to vote for the
Spanish-American treaty and how
McLaurin replied, denouncing the
statement as "a willful, malicious
and deliberate lie"-The Record
disposes of the most interesting
part in this manner:
"At this point Mr.. Tillman ad.
vanced to Mr.. McLaurin of South
Carolina, aud the two senators met
in a personal encounter, when they
were separated by Mr.. Layton, the
acting assistant doOrkeeper, as
sisted by several senators sitting
near"
That is all-not q word about
Tillman leaping .over chairs "with
tiger-like ferocity," sweeping the
venerable Senator Teller aside like
chaff; nothing about McLauriu
springing to meet him half way
nothing about Tillman landing
wickedly with his right just above
his colleagues left optic; nothing
about McLaurin's partial parry and
his countering on Tillman's nose
causing that useful organ to spout
gore; nothing about their clinchine
catch as catch can and having .
rough and tumble; nothing about
the sergeant at arms and senators
tearing the combatants apart b.
main force, still striking wildly a
each other.
In short, The Record reporters
appear either to have missed all Of
the spectacular part Of the affair Of
to have suppressed it deliberately

BENEFITS OF IMMIGRATION.

The Rayne Tribune, published in
Acadia parish Louisiana, is urging
its readers to increase the value of
their lands by diversifying their
products. 1t points to thousands
of bales of cotton, hundreds Of
thousands of sacks of rice and
the sugar cane products of the
country, with long lines of cotton
laden wagons, as proofs of the fer
tility of the soil, and a recent $2l, :
600 land deal near Ray ne, Illinois
farmers being the purchasers, as an
incentive to greater exertions on
the part of resident farmers. The
increasing drift of Northern and
Northwestern farmers to the South
is largely due to the cheapness OF
the South's fertile lands. The
newcomers are comforting enor-
mons benefits upon the communi-
ties where they settle, one of the
most notable incidents being the
development of rice cultivation in
Acadia and Calcasieu parishes, Lou
isiapa, which has meant the addi-
tion in ten years of $4,000 thrifty
population from elsewhere and the
almost incalculable increase of that
sections wealth, what the new
comers are doing the old inhabi-
tants may do, and the friendly ri.
valry of the two elements in the
population Of the South ought to
go a long way toward solving many
Southern problems. - Southern

A RIDICULOUS DEFENSE.

About the only defender of the
poll-tax law left in the state is the
New. Orleans Picayune. In endea-
voripg to stem the, tide agar nst it,
that paper recently made the follow
ing astounding assertion:
Should the clamor against the
law 60 to the extreme of securing
its repeal, that fact would soon ope-
rate to re-establish the danger of
negro supremacy in politics. 1t is
we'll known that the negroes are
making haste to learn to read and
write, while there is a very consid-
erable body of the whites who are
illiterate, and who do not take the
trouble to educate their children,
and ihe blot of white illiteracy pro-
misses to remain long upon the
state;
1t was understood when the con-
stitulion of 1898 was being framed
that the illiteracy prohibition would
soon fail to disfranchise any great
numbers of negroes, who would, by
being able to read and write, render
that clause abortive and powerless
to keep them from the franchise.
In anticipation of such condition,
the poll-tax provision was enacted.
The Picayune's assumption that
the negroes who acquire an educa-
ton for the purpose Of obtaining a
right to vote will be deferred from
their aim by the imposition of a
one dollar poll tax is no less re-
markable than its statement that
the negroes of Louisiana have a
greater interest in education and q
greater desire to obtain it than the
white people have. The Picayune
seems to be driven to dire straits
to discover an excuse to retain
upon the statute books an undemO-
cratic and unjust method of sup
pressing votes that even the narrow
minded New England states have
made ell haste to discard American.
