DAKOTA LONG WAY FROM TROUGH
Denunciation by Henry w. Fries of
Steal by RusseIl's .kppointees
Recalled.
winston Sentinell

George P Pell returned this n,orning
from Charlotte, where he attended, Z,
meeting of the directors of the North
Carolina Railroad Company. Ia answer
to an inquiry as to what action was
taken with reference to the South Dakota
bond suit, he replied
mo formal action was taken as to
that, but it provoked a very lively in
formal discussion. General Hok9, Mr.
Hugh McRae, Mr.. Banks Holt and Mr..
w. f. Holt, all representing heavy mold
ings of private stock. We're unanimously
of the opinion that no one need be
alarmed. Col. A. b. Andrews, first wee
president of the Southern, said he didn't
think it would have any effect on the
price OF stock, which is now selling at
s175 share.
You see. there is a first mortgage
on the States stock not due for years
yet and the South Dakota lien, what
ever that is, must be simply held up
and kept alive for some time unless
somebody will buy the equity it gives
and put up securities, which is thought
only speculative trust company might
do. Anyhow, it was agreed ,lat Souch
Dakota and Schafer were still along way
from the trough.
Governor Russell and ex-senator But
ler were sharply condemned: and one
party recalled the incident under Govern
OF Russells administration when $3, 900
was voted to RusselPs heEchmen by Re
publican members OF the Board OF Direc-
tors, which called forth the well-knowr
exclamation from our lamented Mr.
Henry w. Fries. This was spoken of as
the first ard last steal that had ever
been witnessed in the directory of tic
North Carolina railroad

STANLY, ON"
Norfolk Landmark.
The Landmark has never taken any
stock in the argument that there is no
way to get an isthmian canal without
voting for the Panama policy of the rrcs:-
dent and ratifying the treaty made with
the Panama Junta. To kill the treaty
and demand an honorable course of action
will not kill the chances Of a canal or
do them any serious injury.
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina adj
mts this, and also declares that he by
has done with reference to Panama and
Colombia, yet Senator Simmons announ-
ces that he will vote for the treaty
We have never seen anything like the
weakness that has characterized Demo-
cratic Congressional opposition to the most
indefensible piece of piracy that Republi-
can imperialism has undertaken. Why
should Democratic Senators be so terror
lied when the administration itself fears
that the best sentiment of the country
is against the Panama grab?
This may sound to some ears like an
assumption not in accordance with the
facts. But it is in accordance with the
by Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island. has
been engaged for fortnight in delicate"
negotiations with the United States Of
Colombia with a view to satisfying that
country's complaints
Secretary Hay, with the authority of
the President, offered on the 18th OF jan
uary to submit to a vote of the people
of Panama the question of seeding or not
seeding from Colombia; and to submit
to arbitration the claims that Colombia
and Panama may have against each
other as a result of occurrences before
or after" the declaration of Panama's
independence.
In other words, the President has come
down from his high horse The sug-
gestion made through the Department of
State on the 18th of last month is the
clearest kind of confession that the ad-
ministration is disappointed with the re-
ception of is 'slick'' Panama policy and
fears to maintain the uncompromising
stand MI Roosevelt took in his recent
messages to Congress. If the administra-
ton itself tactitly but Enthusiastically adj
mits that Panama policy up to this time
has been doubtful success, surely the
opposition Senator's, who almost unani-
mously condemn the policy as high-handed
and discreditable, should not be afraid
to charge upon that policy horse, foot,
and dragons. Up and at 1T!

POPULAR FEELING AND PANAMA.
Manufacturers Record.
Mr.. Frederick Moore, treasurer of the
e. Keeler Company. Of Wilhamsport, Pa,
writes TO the Manufacturers Record as
follows:
II have noted very carefully the
position taken by the Manufacturers
Record in its editorial on the canal
question, and having learned to regard
the Manufacturers Record as champ
ion of business interests, particularly
in the South, could not help but
feel somewhat surprised at the stand
you have taken in opposition to same.

AS a champion of the business interests
Of the country and in that intent a per-
sistent advocate of the construction of an
isthmian waterway, the Manufacturers
Record feels that its criticism of the ad-
ministration's Panama policy ought not
to be misunderstood. It's criticism, as has
been iterated again and again, is grounded
in fundamental principles which must be
regarded for the health and safety of the
business interests and all other good in
terests of the country. The Panama is
sue should not be a question OF party
politics. 1t is not question of popular
feeling, especially popular feeling based
upon inadequate knowledge of essential
facts. But it does emphasize the neces-
sity for insistence upon the doctrine that
government by popular feeling is the
most dangerous IN the world, and danger
Gus most OF all 70 busia2ss interests.
That is why tie founders of this govern

however great the INN adiate gain may

from the digging of the Panama canal

We have often wondered, if insurance
companies in other States could come into

ness, why it is that companies do not
organize through the State to. do an In
surance business and thus keep at home
the money that flows in a stream out OF
North Carolina. Col. Walker Taylor, the
well known Wilmington fire underwater,
tells us that the premiums IN North
Carolina for year are 100000 and
when it is realized that only about ~
per cent of this business is done by North

After the State and it's people were

this debt as far as it was able. There
was never any attempt or intention to
repudiate. There has, on the other hand,
been a good deal of foxy work and
sinister wire-pulling in order to get
South Dakota to act as agent for the
