BAD NEWS FROM COLORADO.

The news from Colorado tells of a COM
bination between the anti-Wolcott Re-
publicans and Democrats which will
probably result in the defeat of Senator
Teller. This would be a result that
would be discreditable to all parties con-
cerned in it. Senator Teller is one of
the great men in America He is the
most eminent son Colorado has pro-
duced He came into the Democratic
party from convictions and it would be
political ingratitude for the Colorado
Democrats to deny him reelection to the
Senate
The whole country is interested in the
Colorado contest The best men of all
parties would regard it as a national loss
for any combination to bring about the
retirement of Senator Teller. He was
broad enough and great enough. while
still a Republican, to lend his influence
to the defeat of the Force Bill which he
characterized as 1.-THE most infamous
measure that ever crossed the threshold
of the Senate His defeat would show
up the Democrats of Colorado in a bad
light and it is to be hoped that no trade
or dickering will be consummated that
will result in Senator Teller's retirement

THE WORST TRUST.

All trusts are bad, but even in bad
things there are degrees. The worst trust
is trust, of course, that puts up the
price of the necessities of life. When
two trusts combine to do this, then the
people are almost helpless victims. The
coal trust and the railway trust today
have the country on the point of freez-
ing. In his mastery speech in the Sen
ate this week Senator Vest gave many
facts of weight as we'll as many sound
arguments. The following best illustrates
the conduct of the railroad trust in the
coal sections of the State:
1.-The coal dealers say that they cannot
sell it for any less because the mine own
ers have put the price up for them. The
mine owners declare that the dealers are
heartlessly robbing the people and MAX
ing an enormous profit upon all the coal
they get from the mines. One of the in
dependent coal operators was taken un-
willingly before the Board of Arbitrator
last week, and he swore that he was
under contract furnishing his coal to the
Lackawanna Railroad at the mines at
$3.50 a ton. And we are charged $12 a
ton in the city of Washington!

AN ARGUMENT AGAINST DIS
TILLERIES.

The average country distillery is the
loafing place of the most worthless char
acters of the surrounding country. There
are more crimes committed near the
still-houses and by reason of the influence
of the stills than anybody supposes. They
tend to debaueh the morals of the men,
destroy the young, and stand as agencies
for corrupting the morals of the COM
munity in which they are located. Here
is new and fresh argument for their
abolition, taken from the Newton Enter
prise:
Monday afternoon at Frank Smiths
distillery two miles east of Newton, Rufe
Yount, colored, was shot by Noah Ran
kin, colored. Yount is a half-witted, in
offensive negro, and there seems to be
no way of accounting for the dastardly
deed except that it was the reckless
daredevil work of drunken negro"
There are hundreds of such arguments
which will be potent to secure the pas
sage of law abolishing all distilleries
in the rural districts.

DURHAM'S UNION DEPOT.

/ The refusal of the Southern Railway
bosses, who wish to hog the whole Of
Peabody street in Durham so that i
may have monopoly of transportation
in the heart of Durham, threatens tc
doom Durham to several little second
class depots on the outskirts of the city
Durham needs and ought to have a mod
ern union depot-at least as good as
Raleigh and Greensboro have-and its
people are determined to get it, as the
following call shows:
THE UNION DEPOT.
1t may not be known to all of our citi-
zens that the Norfolk and Western is on
the point of constructing new passen-
ger depot near Dukes factory; that the
Seaboard is about to erect a small pas
senger depot next to the factory of R.
F. Morris & Son. 1t is therefore very
desirable just now that a. union depot
shall be provided for our city. All of
the business men of the city who are
interested in this important matter are
requested to meet at the court house
next Monday night at 1880 o'clock, when
the Board of Aldermen will act upon
certain matters affecting Peabody street,
which may SCI ure Union depot in the
near future.
r. w. WINSTON,
President Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting will be largely attended.
Durham people were never more determ-
ined about any matter In their lives than
about this depot matter. They have been
patient beyond any precedent since the
days of Job. They have come to the
point now where they feel that patience
is no longer a virtue. They have made
requests, petitions, entreaties, and to all
the Southern Railway bosses have said:
Give us Peabody street, worth more
than an hundred thousand dollars, and
then we will talk depot" The Durham
people have quit making requests or i'll
ing petitions. They are now determined
to demand a depot as a right and unless
the Southern grants their just demand,
they are determined to secure it by or
der of the Corporation Commission.
The other two roads at Durham-the
Norfolk and Western and the Seaboard
Air Line-are ready to join in and build
a handsome depot. They have long Ge-
ferred building adequate depots because
they wished to comply with Durham s
desire to secure a handsome, up-to- date
union depot. Now they are ready to go
ahead with their own depots unless the
matter of a union depot is settled.
Durham can get the order from the Cor
poration Commission for a handsome
union depot any day it complies with
the legal requirements.

to do with it, but had to say, it is mere
ly matter of taste. We all kindly de-

hair cut-parted on the side. To part on
