Caring for Ones Relatives.

The charge of nepotism against Judge
Pritchard is not new. He took good care
of his relatives while he was In the Senate,
and Rollins, who married his daughter, is
accused Of having found positions for all of
the rest Of the family. Anderson claims to
have a list which he proposes TO produce in
court and compel Rollins to testify whether
II is accurate. 1t Is true that number OF
the relatives or Judge Prftchard and Chair
man Rollins are In office, but both of them
belong to very large families and their con-
nections extend all over this part of the
state. j. M. Gudger, the democratic mem

OF THE DEMOCRATS
BY WILLIAM f.. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago

ASHEVILLE, N. c.. March 8. 1905
There is an interesting political situation In
North Carolina, particularly in the republican
party, which has dwindled down to small
numbers within the last few years because
of factional quarrels and other reasons.
Not long ago the republicans were in con-
troll of the legislature. but the democrats
at the last election carried the state by
more than 5000 majority. The smaller the
republican party grows the more bitter the
disSensions, because there are scarcely
enough federal offices to go around The
chairman OF the republican state commit
tee, Mr.. Thomas Rollins, solicitor OF the
Southern railway at Asheville, is recognized
by the President as the head of the Or
ganization and is consulted by him In the
distribution of patronage. Mr. Blackburn
of Greensboro, the only republican In Con-
gress from the state, is also consulted on
the same subject, but not to such an ex-
tent as he would desire and Is recognized
as the leader of the opposite faction. his
friends think that, being member OF Con-
gress his advice should be preferred TO
that of Mr.. Rollins. who holds no onclai
position, and. as a consequence, every time
a vacancy in a federal Office occurs two
delegations assault the White House, one
representing the Rollins and the other the
Blackburn battalion. The President has
naturally been very much annoyed at these
controversies which are usually personal
but has tried to be impartial and 10 as
tribute the offices fairly between them potn
without showing special preference 10

no lack of beverages In the market and no
increase in the selling price.
There is said to be an actual increase in
the number of legitimate dstilieries in the
state. The federal officials claim that the
restrictive state laws not enforced and
that they have increased "moonshining
or ''blockading." they call Illicit distill-
Ing down here now. They assert that the
state and local taxes are so heavy that the
distilers who have been doing an open and
lawful business in the towns have been
driven out into the mountains

The Holton-Blackburn Quarrel.

The quarrel came to a crisis not long ago
Representative Blackburn preferred charges
against Mr.. A. s. Holton, the United states
district attorney, who is one Of Rollins
lteutenants. In retaliation Holton had the
grand Jury indict Blackburn for receiving
compensation from constituents In cases
against the goVernment-an onenSe similar
to those of which the late Senator Mitchell
of Oregon and Senator Burton Of Kansas
were convicted. 1t is charged that Mr..
Blackburn In violation of the statutes OF
the United States, accepted fees from two
Illicit diStillers who were charged with Nlo-
IatIng the internal revenue laws, ana got
them Off. The diStlIlers assert that Black
burn was their regular attorney and APP
peared for them in other cases as wei as
before the commissioner of internal rev.
enue, and that the fees were not PAID lor
the latter service. Blackburn declares that
the indictment is purely for political re-
yenge and spite-work on the part Of Hol-
ton and there has been good deal or
sympathy expressed for him, but he has
damaged his case and altenated many OF
his warrnest defenders by attempting to
drag Judge Pritchard of the United States
Court into the scandal Pritchard is d
very popular man and has the confidence
OF the community, regardless of politics.
Blackburn, however, has attempted TO use
him as a screen by declaring that Pritchard
while United States senator was in the
habit Of committing the same otfenSe OF
which ne tBlackburn) has been indicted.
This Is stoutly denied by Prtchards friends,
but they admit that he did appear on one
occasion in defense OF an Illicit distiller
and accepted compensation therefor, but
not until after he had submitted the mat
ter to the Attorney General of the United
States and had received from him an opin-
ion that there was no lawful objection.
Blackburn made a mistake in trying to get
behind Prltchard, because he has set all the
latter's friends against him.

Unique Legal Proceeding.

A3 even more interesting and novel ept-
sode in the factional squabbles IS a law suit
brought by H. s. Anderson, a local poll
tician at Hendersonvile. in the superior
court OF Henderson county to compel the
leaGers OF the republican party to give him
an office. 1t IS a unique proceeding. L
haya never heard OF such a case before.
Anderson, who served several terms in the
state senate and has been an active repub-
licsn worker was a candidate for collector
OF internal revenue, but Withdrew from the
contest upon receiving a written pledge
from Mr.. Harkins. the successful candidate
for that office; Thomas Rollins. chairman of
the republican state committee; J. n. Mill
KAN United States marshal, and other lead
ers of the Rollins faction that they would
provide him with an Office worth at least
81 800 a year. They have refused, or at
least have been unable, to fulfill this prom
Use, and Anderson has gone into court to
apply for mandamus to compel q specific
fulfilment OF the contract. Everybody
agrees that the case Will be thrown out OF
court. and Anderson does not expect a YER
dict in his favor, but he will be satisfied II
he gets an opportunity to prove by sworn
testimony what has been often charged In
the newspapers-that Chairman Rollins,
who Is Judge Pritchard's son-in-law, has
sixty relatives and family connections
holding federal Offices

Troubles Of the Democrats.

The democratic party Is having its trou-
bles, too. which are chiefly due 70 a strong
prohibition sentiment which is growing up
In the state. Gov. Glenn, United States
Senators Simmons and Overman and other
party leaders are said to be pledged to q
prohibition platform. and next year the
legislature Is expected to pass q law pro-
hbiting the manufacturers and sale OF
liquor In tho Old North state. This would
mean q revolution. for North Carolina

appiejack, rye and Bourbon whisky and
other beverages OF that sort Prohibition
sentiment. however. has been growing very
rapidly. and the present laws prohibit dis
tiileries except In towns OF LOCO or more
Inhabitants. where they are compelled TO
pay heavy fees for local licenses and to
give large bonds that they wifi not violate
city ordinances These pecuniary burdens
and restrictions have been increasing wear
after year. until, when you take into con-
sideratlon the taxes and license fees i'm
posed by the federal government, you would
think that the manufacture Of whisky
would be unprRtitable. But there has been

ANOTHER LESSON OF LATE WAR.
Army and Navy Medical Equipment
VIII Be Identical.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 13.-The
equipment of the medical department
of the United States army and the
medical corps of the United States
navy will be placed upon a uniform
basis. An effort will be made to have
Identical equipment and the same
methods of work, so that there may
be the same uniformity in these
branches as there is in other respects
in hte military and naval services. 1t
is felt that if there is any advantage
in having identical caliber of small
arms and the same type of ammuni-
tion and the mutual use of an emerg-
ency ration, there might profitably be
similar uniformity in the medical
equipment and medical corps organi-
Zation.
The president has been greatly i'm
pressed by the reports received from
the military observers in Manchuria,
and has learned that the Japanese
had reduced the policy of uniformity
to a most practical and profitable sys-
TEN. To the end that there may be a
like advantage to the medical
branches of the two services in this
country, it is probable that there will
soon be detailed, for the consideration
of the project of uniformity, a joint
army and navy board, composed. nat
urally, of officers of the medical corps
of the navy and the medical depart
ment of the army, all of whom agree
on the efficacy and value of the pro-
posed change.
1t is also understood that a number
| of methods which were tested by the
( japanese during the late war and
found highly satisfactory, will be
adopted in the joint medical service
! of the army and navy of the United
, States. This will probably not apply
! to the method of aseptic treatment
used by the japanese.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT IS INCREASING

will develop into a general anti-for-
eign agitation, which it will take
years to overcome.
Demands Increased.
When the boycott began" he
said, "all the Chinese asked was bet
ter treatment for Chinese visitors to
the United States. In response to
this President Roosevelt issued orders
to the immigration officials to exer-
else more leniency and greater cour-
tesy in administering the exclusion
laws. The Chinese took this as an
evidence of weakness, and instead of
taking off the boycott tightened the
screws and demanded a modification
of the terms of the exclusion act"
During the last few months. says
Van SAINT, Chinese merchants have
been buying Australian flour and
paying more for it than the price at
which the American product was of
fered.
In the southern part of China rep
resentatives of American firms have
been holding meetings with, the boy
colt leaders in the hope of reaching
some ground on which a settlement of
the trouble could be made. But there,
as everywhere else, the real source
of the dissatisfaction eludes the
searchers.
