EX-JUDGE BYNUM'S ADDRESS.

In presenting to the Supreme Court
yesterday the portrait of the late
Judge Thomas Settle, the speaker,
,ex-Judge Bynum, delivered an address
that was remarkable and interesting.
He didn't content himself merely with
eulogy of Judge Settle, but gave an
accurate and carefully drawn picture
of the times in which he lived-made
a setting, so 10 speak, for his pic
ture.
The address should be printed
in permanent form, for in addition TO
the discriminating sketch of Judge Set
lie, it dealt with the most interesting
period IN the history of North Carolina
particularly of the period following
the war before 1868, years of transit
more than in days of war. Mr.. By
mum showed that he had given thor
ough research to the history of these
days and his story is one that shows
the Southern position to have been
right and wise and in line with the
policy of Lincoln and Johnson. But
Tor the reconstruction of Thad stevens
and Sumner the restoration of the
Union as before 1860, would have
been accomplished without friction
and bitterness. 1t was the resolve
upon their part to force Illuminating
terms and to compel full negro stuff
rage for partisan ends that provoked
more sectional feeling than the sla-
very discussion and war had engend-
cred. The logic of Judge Bynum
address is a VindicatiOn of the men
who resisted Reconstruction to the
end.
Judge Settle was one of the most
brilliant public men the State mas
known. Handsome, winning, capable
and companionable he was the idol OF
his party and made friends in all par
ties. The campaign between vance
and Settle in 1876 was compared, and
fittinglys so far as North Carolina is
concerned. with the great debate in
Illinois between Lincoln and Doug
las In his early life Mr.. Settle was
a political disciple of Judge Douglas
and Governor David S. Reid, ana in
1850 he warmly supported Douglas
for the presidency. Looking back,
with the light that history sheds upon
those times, younger men are sur
prised that the Southern Democrats
did not rally to the candidacy OF
Douglas, whose large view of public
questions had first suggested to Cover
nor Reid the successful issue of free
suffrage upon which he was elected
Governor If Douglas had been elect
ed President in 1S6O-but why discuss
what would only have delayed the
inevitable war between conflicting
convictions and principles?

President Roosevelt needs to be-
ware lest the fate which overlook his
restraint of trusts campaign pursues
him in his present railroad rate con-
troll efforts. His antitrust agitation
led to the creation of the bureau of
corporations, and that was all. Th D.;
bureau was charged with the power
to make inquiries regarding trusts and
combinations-With making >lore in

been a surplus of investigation. And
what has come of it all? One report,

be expected that there will be a great

most important one.
Rev. Livingston Johnson, secretary
of the Baptist State Mission Board,
was here Sunday and flied the pulpit
in DR.. Lynch's stead, the latter not yet
having recovered from his physical
and nervous break down Mr.. john
son brought his Baptist Mission map
of North Carolina with him and spoke
of State missions. He made an inter-
esting talk.
An interesting meeting of the Wake
Forest Missionary Society was held
Sunday evening. The collection
$11.90, was by motion, given as a
purse to Rev. Martin Wood, at Mar
shall, who, as was told by Mr.. John
son. had made such sacrifices to build
Il church and carry on the Lords work
in his neighbOrhOod. Mr. Johnson paid
Mr.. Wood a high tribute, saying also
that he was able to fill the pulpit at
Wake Forest or anywhere else but
had sacrificed handsome salaries to
carry on the work at Marshall at a
salary of $500. 500 of which he gave
to the building of the church there.

announced the subject for discussion,

DESPERATE METHODS RESORTED,
TO BY RAILROADS.

Elsewhere will be found a graphic
and plain story of the methods en-
ployed by certain great railroad inter-
ests to capture or break UP the meet
ing recently at Chicago TO urge the
Government railroad regulation bill.
1t shows the desperate methods to
which the railroads will resort to pre-
vent any control except their own.
sweet will
The desperate methods employed do
not surprise those who are familiar
with the policy of the transportation
monopoly. The people of Nortls Caro-
lima understand to what length some
railroads went to prevent the estab-
lishment of Railroad Commission
the first established with any real pow
er in the South Atlantic States. There
was no trick or subterfuge they could
devise that was not practiscd to pre-
vent it's creation. At one session of
the Legislature, when the agitation
for a Commission had seemed to make
action certain, the railroads actually
established a bar-room in room in
the Marlborough House, la Little
field in 1S6S-9-and- men competent
to judge did not doubt that the Com
mission was defeated by debauchery
and open purchase of several Senators
whose votes killed the measure.
Again, when an excellent bill, passed
by the House, had been defeated in
the Senate by certain Senators who
had been declaring they would vote
for a conservative measure hut could
vote for the drastic bill passed by
the House, Hon Charles NJ. Cooke Sc
cured the passage through the House
of the mildest sort of bill, and the
Senate killed it. The spectacle of the
squirming of those Senators VINO mad
talked loudly for conservative bill, :"
as they tried to explain why they voted
against Judge Cookies mild bill (mod-
called the plunging of deer after they
have received what hunters in the
mountains call "a gut shot" II il
hadn't been so disgraceful, their antics
would have been laughable.
Since the Commission has been estab-
liShed the assessment of railroad prop
erty in North Carolina has been in
creased from about six million dollars
to seventy million dollars. That in
crease is not, of course, wholly due
to the Commission, but in part is due
to it and the Information it obtained
and made public. Many other impcr-
tant services it has rendered (but not
all that it should rende:) to the peo-
pie of the State. But, while often dis
appointing because barren of the lar
ger results expected, the railroads
despise the State Commissions and
manage to defeat much of the good
they would otherwise accomplish be-
cause the Interstate business tthe
bulk of freight) cannot be controlled
by State law. Giving regulation of in
ter-State rates to the Interstate Com
merce Commission would nos only give
relief with reference to interstate
business, but would make possible
better regulation of intra-State bust
ness. Now if a State Commission re-
duces rates they cannot defeat they
