 in the work and how providence gave to us the country so cheaply through Napoleon's s wars in San Domingo where 25,OOO soldiers were sacrificed by Napoleon to subjugate the country without success. It was a great purchase for our government and it is great to-day with its cities of St Louis, Omaha, Minneapolis, Denver, Kansas City and other places of inn portance too numerous to mention. The St Louis fair will be great ex- hibition of the advancement of our country.

 Levees. astrous floods in the Mississippi river are caused in part be- cause the levee system is not yet com pleted. Only GA per cent. of the system is as yet finished and it will take some years to get the whole system into shape to avoid the high water of the river. All this will come but it will take time and money. We have in our river system in the central part of our nation a great course for cheap transportation and as the country de. yelops we shall probably get more good out of it and do more for it.

A $4,000 TAX.

The Ways and Means Committee has
refused even to give a hearing to the
National Publishers Association on
their bill to put wood pulp, used in the
manufacture of paper on the free list.
Nobody expected the committee to grant
any relief against the extortions of the
paper trust, but the publishers thought
they would at least be given hearing.
The committed having resolved not to
give the relief demanded by the news
papers, determined to suppress the ar
gument they could not answer.
The tax imposed upon the News ard
Observer alone by the paper trust is
over two thousand dollars. Upon the
press of the country it amounts to many
hundred thousand dollars. The Republi-
can party thinks it can better impose
that tax upon the newspapers than to
offend the wood pulp trust. They own
many papers and feel that they have less
to fear from the others thar from the
paper trust.

GEN. CARR'S WITHDRAWAL.

In a manly and patriotic letter last
night, Gen. Julian 6. Carr withdrew his
name as candidate for the United
States Senate. His noble and unselfish
words Were warmly and generously ap-
plauded by every member on the floor,
and as we'll by the ladies and gentlemen
in the gallery. 1t was a hearty tribute
to a golden hearted gentleman who has
won the hearts of thousands of North
Carolinians who would have rejoiced if
the Democratic caucus had named him as
United States Senator
General Carr needs no official honor
to give him the position of primacy which
The holds among successful North Caro-
linians. He has won it by his noble
generosity, his great heart, his patriot
ism, his devotion TO every interest that
makes for the honor, the glory and well
fare Of North Carolina.

AS FUNNY AS A CIRCUS.

Almost every day the Washington cor
paper writes to the paper that Mr. So
and-So, of North Carolina, called to see
the President to tell him that the policy
of Senator Pritchard with reference to
North Carolina postoffices was the policy
of wisdom, and to urge him to stand by
Senator Pritchard. In every single in
stance, except one, the caller holds q
Federal job given him by Senator Pritch-
ard, and he is only carrying out orders in,
joining the procession. The latest caller
is thus told about:
Mr.. George K. Pritchard, brother of
Senator Pritchard, and several North
Carolina Republicans had an interview
with the President today relative to the
appointment of S. H. Wick. Incidental
ly they took occasion to speak in APP
prevail of Senator Pritchard's policy in
North Carolina. The party came away
pleased with the result of their inter
view. The Wick case was discussed for
some five minutes and the President
took occasion TO say that he was waiting
for Vicks reply to the charge preferred
against him before taking final action.
During the interview one member of the
party informed the President that every
Republican in North Carolina. with few
exceptions, approved Senator Pritchard' :
course as the head of the State organi-
cation and that the kickers could be
numbered on the fingers OF the two
hands,"
This whole performance is as funny as
a circus. Every pap-sueker who calls
knows he holds office by virtue Of Sena-
tor Pritchard's pull and he fears that
if Pritchard loses his pull he will be dis
placed from the pie-counter, and so the
solemn procession Of pie-eaters wends
its way to the White House, and with
earnest monotony and tiresome sameness
repeats the little story they have re-
George And last of all goes brother
George" and several North Carolina
Republicans in a bunch TO repeat the
same old song they had been learning.
If Roosevelt hasn't lost all his sense OF
humor this procession of peripatetic pie
caters, all calling to sing the same song,
must make him wish TO get off in COR
ncr and laugh. 1t is as funny as cir
Gus, but all the actors are dreadfully in
earnest. Their solemn earnestness adds
to the performance.

Under the Dome.

The printer got in his work by setting
up month" instead of year in recent
Senate report. Senator Mann says the
printed report of his pension bill does not
explain its provisions, because of this
error, and leaves the impression that
widows are excluded from the $40 class,
and that pension is by month, not year.
The amendment is really intended to
correct what Senator Mann believes is a
hardship to the disabled soldier and
widow, who are worth nothing or less
than $3.50, and gives to widows and SOL
diers entitled under the present law the
right to be enrolled in class four and
receive a pension of $40 and to establish
a fifth class of widows and soldiers who,
il they are worth $3.50 or more and less
than $780, shall receive $40 a year. There
are many old soldiers and widows VINO
have absolutely no income, who get no
more relief under the law than the ones
who are worth just a few cents or dol
lars less than $500.

REPUBLICAN PARTY RESPONSIBLE. T,
Memnhic Commercial AnDeal

REPUBLICAN PARTY RESPONSIBLE.
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
But the Republican party is RESPONSE
bic for the anthracite trust. There is
a law on the statute books of the United
States, which makes combination such
as this illegal, and declares that those
implicated in it are criminals. Yet the
Republican administration has done abb
solutely nothing to enforce this law.
There is a clause in the constitution of
Pennsylvania which prohibits coal car
rying roads from engaging in mining,
yet the anthracite trust is made up of
railroads. Pennsylvania is overwhelm-
ingly Republican. and no Republican adj
ministration in that State has ever made
the slightest effort to stop these daily
illegalitieS and to secure the observance
of the law and constitution of the State.
The anthracite trust could be broken up
in little or no time, and its organizers
sent to the penitentiary, if the Republi-
can officials would do their duty. In
several cities the courts are proceeding
against minor combinations of coal deal
ers who have conspired to raise prices.
If the law can reach the small fry, why
can it not reach the big fish? The Re-
publican party through the remissness
of Republican officials, must be held ac-
countable for the existence of the trust
1t must also be held responsible for that
paragraph in the Dingley act which pro-
tects the anthracite trust from compe-
tition with foreign anthracite and thus
assists in increasing the price.
1t is true that the trust has caused the
famine, but the Republican party is
sponsor for the trust
