The CONFEDERATE SOLDIER AS
A CITIZEN.

In his address at the Confederate Re
union at Sanford. one of the most notable
gathering Of this decade, the orator Of
the day, Frank S. Spruill, Esq, took
rather a new departure in the subject Of
his Grafton. The story of the heroes Of
the war, who sealed their devotion with
their blood, has been embalmed in poetry
and prose. Mr.. Spruill, after an eloquent
tribute to the dead heroes, spoke of the
living Confederate soldiers-those who
came out of the army to fight conditions
and evils In some respects almost as terri
BILE as the hell that belched from the can
mons mouth. They had lost all but honor
and courage. With his burning eloquence
Mr.. Spruill traced the history of the Con-
federate soldier as a citizen and showed
that the victories of peace nave not been
second to the victories of war.

PUBLICITY WOULD Hell

In Chicago private property Is assessed
of assessments by election precincts is
published. This enables every taxpayer
easily to see what his neighbor is paying
and it is a mighty equalizer.
The mayor of Philadelphia recently said
respecting the. new assessment proposal,
that every property owner should know
at what figure his or her property is as
sessed." Further and better Mayor
Weaver said: Il believe that everybody
should know what his neighbours proper
ty is assessed at, not only in his street,
but around the corner as well. Then, we
can learn whether the public thinks there
is discrimination or not in making the
| assessments
Commenting on the Mayors suggestion,
the Philadelphia Public Ledger says:
The publicity which the Mayor sug
| gests should be given respecting the as
| sessed value of real estate Is not only de-
sirable, but necessary If justice Is to be
| done to all taxpayers alike. Mayor Weav-
er stated on Tuesday that in some OF
| the wards the assessed value Of realty was
as low as 6 per cent, and IN other wards
80 per cent. This statement proves either
intentional determinations or gross lgno-
rance on the part OF some OF the Assessors
of property values. 1t matters little IN
effect whether the broad divergence IN as
sessment testified to by the Mayor IS the
sequence of one or the other of these
causes; it is manifestly unjust, rs 1t COM
pels one citizen to pay not only his own,
but his more favored neighbor's taxes.
No such wrong could continue 1t publicity
were given to the entire lists of assess
ments. But the Mayor TINA that the
matter of making them public is a diff
ficult problem, which the City Councils
must work out"
In Raleigh there is complaint that there
is not uniformity In assessments. How
that is, we do not know. The public does
not kno@ If the assessments were print
ed in the papers it would enable the pub
lie to decide.
The railroads say their complaint is,
not that their property is actually assessed
too high, but that it is too high when
compared with other property. Certain
property owners in Raleigh make the
same complaint. Others declare that
whereas their houses are assessed at their
true value in money railroad property
is assessed at not more than two-thirds
of the ascertained true value in money.
Publicity would help to correct all in
equalities.

poration. 1t was formed to control the
cigar trade.
h American Snuff Company, with an
authorized preferred stock issue OF s12,-
800. 900 and a common stock issue OF the
same amount, was formed in 1900. On the
preferred shares 6 per cent. i paid and on
the common 2h per cent. was paid last
January.
The Havana Tobacco Company. with
a capital Of $1,000 900 of preferred stock
and 1896, 000, 900 of common stock, and de-
bentures authorized to the extent OF So
00O. 900, was organized to buy up the Ha-
vana Commercial Company in order to
control the Havana leaf trade.
This vast aggregation of capital amounts
in its entirety to s457 ,093, 400, OF which
by far the greater part Is represented by
the profits squeezed out OF producers and
consumers. This Is an extraordinary tes-
timony to the money that Is to be made
in the working up of one OF kentucky's
chief staples. The interests which pro-
duce and market this commodity are de
serving of better treatment than they
have received so far, and it would be well
for the managers of the Tobacco Trust to
be more liberal in their prices. The profits
are immense, beyond a doubt; and the
opportunity to engage in such a remunera-
tive business ought to be rewarded with
liberal treatment. If not, the growing OF
Kentucky's great staple will be discour-
aged and in due time there viii arise the
mighty power of public opinion that will
teach Mr.. J. b. Duke Il lesson of which
he and other trust formers stand IN need.

Back of this whole question lowers the
dark cloud of race hatred, and we nave
been surprised to observe some respecta-
BILE papers, such as the New York Law
Journal, expressing satisfaction that the
negroes are arming to resist 1ynchings. SO
far as lynching is concerned, the wrong
is not directed against the negro race,
but against individuals who are a loathy
disgrace to any race. Why should the
respectable part of the negroes band to-
gether as a race to defend these creatures?
Such action Is not demanded by racial
self-respect, and its adoption by the ig-
norant people to whom the advice is adj
dressed would lead to miseries untold
which would fall with far heavier hand on
them than on the whites. Speaking gen
orally, negroes are ignorant, eXcitable, not
schooled to think or deliberate, without
high ambitions or standards of life. Like
all people of such a type, they are easily
carried away by feeling and emotion, as
is amply illustrated by their religion.
These are the people whom some thought
less, if well-meaning, persons are advising
to arm to resist lynchings threatened
against criminal fiends. What must be
the result? Meetings or speech-makings
among the negroes, the excitement Of feel
ing which in their unframed minds will
become indiscriminate race hatred, col
lisions with whites. bloodshed-and then,
as surely as night follows day, stern Ven
geance on the negro and a period of
real persecution for him. No advice more
fraught with evil consequences to both
races, more absolutely suicidal to the ne
gro, could be given. Every well-informed
person who has the negro's well-being at
heart must lament such pernicious and If
responsible suggestions.

TO trial and punishment the perpetrators
OF fragrant onenses. The famous twenty
ninth chaper OF Magma Charta shows that
seven centuries ago our rude foFeiatheTs
ranked a tardy administration OF justice
with its denial or ITS maIadmlnlstratl2h-
Conditions rave not altogether changed
and instances IN recent years have Illus
trated that i confidence that the courts
would deal out swift punishment TO the
guilty Is a strong deterrent to the ieeling
which makes for l~ynchIngs- To create a
strong impression upon them, the MINDS
of the people require that cause ana eI-

a crime i yet fresh IN memory the pun

i to have its greatest effect as a warning
to other Wrongdoers, and a. an liiustfa-
ton Of abstract justice.
The tendency TO resort TO lynching may
be partially met by a stern and swift en-
forcement OF the law, and by special iegls-
lation directed against this EVIL, such as
he statutes which exist IN some states
rendering the community liable in dam
ages in cases of lynching. All these reme-
dies deserve trial, and each viii contribute
its quota to render lynchings less numer-
Gus. AS TO the ~lynchings OF negroes, one
thing is more important than all Others.
Can moral instruction be so diffused IN
this race that It's bestial members may be
taught to shun that crime of crimes be
fore whose perpetration all common sentl-
ments OF order and humanity are lost III
feelings Of outrage and desire for Ven
geance? We frequently hear 1t said that
rape is the crime for which negroes are
lynched at the South, and the suggestion
tossed contemptuously aside when bare
murders or lesser offenses are revenged III
the same way. Yet this IS the crime Tor
which lynching originated and IN certain
sections is lauded. Only the lessened re-
spect for the legal administration of jus
tee caused by the lynching of ravishers
leads to lynching of other offenses. and
it is probably true that If all semblance
of justification for lynching were wiped
out by the stopping of unnatural rapes,
lynching would cease. Now when SO
many offenses of this kind are being re-
ported, it is significant to find in a paper
of the Pacific coast. the Portland Ore
gonian, these editorial utterances: There
is one remedy for lynching that Is little
discussed, but which would prove effec-
tive, and that is for these negro ravishers
to let white women and girls alone. If
they will stop this one crime, justice will
be permitted to take its measured way
with their other offenses." Here
a thought arises. Rape is not a capital
crime in many States, but popular senti-
ment in cases where it is unprovoked APP
proves of the death penalty for it. A
law which Furnishes rape with a mere
term of Imprisonment is an invitation to
lynch the vile perpetrator of this of
