BAD BOYS
Break Into Farmers Houses and Are
Arrested.

Depredations have been committed
for some time by boys living in the
vicinity of the Starr schol house and
several farmers have suffered as a re-
suit The last man to suffer at their
hands was Henry Tubersing. The
young lads broke into his house and
ransacked things generally. The fol-
lowing young fellows were arrested
charged with housebreaking: Otto
Dye, Charles Tiffany and Jacob Weist
The young miscreants were brought
before judge Fox this morning and he
discharged them under an indefnate
postponement Of the hearing. The
judge thinks by being arrested the
boys were sufficiently punished for
this time, but if their actions are
repeated he will deal differently with
them.

FAST TIME WAS MADE

The Fourth Of July races at the
Driving Park proved a pleasing fea-
ture Of yesterdays celebration. 1t
looked as if rain would interfere, but
it held back until last night and gave
those interested inthe sport a splen-
did afternoon. The program was ad-
vertised to begin at - 80, but it was
= clock before a start was made.
A good sized crowd was in attendance
and lovers Of horse racing were in ev-
idence everywhere. In the judge s
stand could be seen faces familiar in
the days when Richmond was more Of
a race town than it was yesterday.
Our genial mayor, DR.. w. w. Zim-

and personally conducted the race
meet.
The 2:40 trot, in which Ontario,
Ivel, Alpha B., Yea Veerliy, Sirock

part, was called off on account Of the
illness Of some of the drivers.
The track was in good shape, and
while the wind was high at times it
usually died down sufficiently to not
interfere with time.

FOREIGNERS PAY TWENTY PER
CENT LESS.

The New York Journal of Com
merce prints three columns of the
report of the special tariff committee
of the Reform Club, appointed to
make careful investigation of the diff
ference in the prices American manu-
facturers are willing to sell their pro-
ducts to foreign buyers as compared
with those demanded from the Amer
lean consumer. The committee reports
that the evidence is overwhelming
that the great bulk of the exported
goods are sold at prices materially
lower than those prevailing in the
United States. Those who have been
connected with the export trade for
many years estimate that IS to 90
per cent of our exports are sold at
an average of about 20 per cent less
than they would have brought if sold
at home market prices. On many i'm
portant articles the difference between
the export and home prices is above
SO per cent-often 100 per cent. The
average difference for iron and steel
age difference for mineral oils, imple-
ments, tools and machinery is about
20 per cent, for leather goods and
furniture about 20 per cent, and for
manufactures of cotton and copper,
cars, carriages and paints somewhat
less than 10 per cent
The report abundantly proves,
among other things:
/. That trusts controlling the home
markets take advantage of this eX
cessive protection to exact eXorbitant
prices from domestic consumers.
2. That this seriously handicaps all
unprotected exporters, whether man
ufacturers or farmers, because it
compels them to pay higher prices for
materials, machinery and supplies
than are paid by their foreign com
petitors.
8. That, instead of encouraging our
home industries, protection, by max
ing it cheaper to produce abroad, is
now encouraging foreign industry.
The people are not yet fully awake
to the far-reaching significance of
this report. If 50, they would not
tolerate the trust directed cry of
Stand Pat"

"YOU ARE ANOTHER"

In his vicious and venomouS letter,
Mr.. Roosevelt virtually admits that
his committee has received campaign
funds from corporations, as alleged by
the Brooklyn Eagle, the New York
Times, Judge Parker and others, but
he denies that there is any under
standing that contributing corPor-
atoms are to be favored or to be ex-
empt from punishment for violation of
the antitrust laws. And then he says
to the Democrats: you are another,
for you have also received campaign
contributions from corporations"
Indeed, before the President made
answer the Republican papers and
their correspondents were spreading
broadcast the statement about Par
ker Barrel" and Democrats having
abundance of funds" these state
ments being made to lessen the rising
tide of Indignation against tho Repub-
lican management for selling legisla-
ton and protection in return for
campaign contributions. If these
statements were true, the ~ ou'rc
another" would not excuse Cortelyou
&c Co. They are in fact false. The
Democratic campaign fund all along
and now, in comparison with the Re-
publican fund, has locked like thirty
cents" There are few wealthy men
in the Democratic party who have
contributed to pay the expenses OF the
campaign and the Democrats have had
more than at any time since 1892, but
nothing like a tenth as much as then,
and their contributions have come from
individuals who have no axe to grind,
and not from corporations dependent
upon the favoritism or leniency of the
national administrations.
1t is an outrage for newspapers TO
print the story that Democrats are
rolling in wealth. 1t can be for no
other purpose than to detract from
Judge Parkers severe arraignment for
the sale of indulgences by Cortelyou

An editor should not attack the
private character of a public official
unless he knows his character to be
so base as to unfit him for the honors
and responsibilities of holding such
Office, and when he does make an UNI
warranted attack of this kind 1t
strikes us it should be settled be-
tween them as individuals and pri-
waite citizens and that the party
agrieved, if he chances to be a
judicial officer, should not invoke the
aid of the statutes as to contempt
to vindicate his assailed private char
acter or to punish the assailant.
We think that Mr.. Powell had made
statements against Mr.. PEBBLES as an
individual which were uncalled for
and should not have been made. He
seems to have recognized this fact
after reflection and pursued the prop
er and gentlemanly course in making
a retraction. But we believe had he
seen fit to stand to what he had pub

declared him guilty of no contempt

will come out on Tuesday in large

THE RADICAL CAMPAIGN a
SHAMELESS SPECTACLE.

Never in the history of man has
there been so scandalous, shame1ui
and brazen-faced campaign as that
conducted by the Republican party III
North Carolina this year. They are
charging Capt. r. Is. Glenn with EN-
rloving q negro stenographer; they
are charging Grover Cleveland with
having negro guests at his Wedolns
in the White House; they are charg-
ing Frank Winston with believing III
and practicing social equality Every"
body knows they are lying. we Wculo
sav that they know it themselves; out
we really doubt whether they know
the difference between truth-telling
and lying.
What a shameful spectacle they
present! They appoint negroes TO
rostoffices and revenue offices; their
President entertains negroes socially
in the White House; their national
convention openly applauds negro So
cial equality; their political platform
threatens the South with reduction OF
representation on account of the ne
gro: and vet, with all this filth and
stencil on them covering them all over
from head to foot and sinking in the
nostrils of decency, they have the dew
ilish audacity to say to Democrats:
Don't vote for Glenn, he employed a
negro stenographer; don't vote Tor
Winston, he solicited negro votes;
don't vote for Parker, he won't say
how he stands on the negro question.
They are a choice lot, to be sure!
They stand boldly in the highway,
holding their noses and making faces,
as decent people pass by. They are
trying to keep from being smelled.
But they will not do it by holding
their noses and throwing their dirty
filth on decent people. Let them go
and clean themselves. The people OF
North Carolina will not tolerate them
and their false hypocritical charges
against Democratic leaders. If they
were honest, they would repudiate
Roosevelt and his candidacy; they
would denounce the Chicago platform;
they would scorn and spit upon the
suggestion of social equality made by
the scene of the white girl and ne
gre boy in their national convention;
they would be men and prefer the
welfare of their race and their native
land to the wild follies of Roosevelt
and Northern fanatics. But they are
not honest. They will bootlick Roose-
