STEAMER RUN INTO By BARGE
The Thomas Newton Sink in PasquO-
tank River-NO One Aboard Injured.

Elizabeth City, n. C., August 2.-Tnc
steamer Thomas Newton, from Norfolk,
Va, was run into by the barge Mars,
towed by tug Esherick, both of Phila-
delphia, in Pasuuotank river, one mile
from the Dismal Swamp canal last
night, and the Newton sank imme-
diately. The cargo consisted of general
freight and lime and the latter ignited,
burning the boat to the waters edge.
1t is said the vessels owner will claim
$4,000 damages.
The Newton was built in Norfolk in
1881, and was of AZ gross tonnage. Her
normal crew was nine men. No one
aboard was injured so far as known.
Norfolk, Va, August 1.-The crew
of nine men and five passengers we're
taken ashore in life boats. Captain A.
l.. Cahoon of the steamer narrowly
escaped suffocation. He went into his
cabin for the purpose of saving his
papers and was rescued by one OF the
crew.
The barge Mars was libelled in this
city today by the owner of the New
ton. They claim $4,000 damages. The
barge was en- route to Philadelphia, in
tow of the tug Erickson, and a United
States marshal was waiting for them
when the reached Norfolk.

The National Democracy has a gold

The National Democracy has gold
en- opportunity this year IN the
general congressional election but its
leaders must be Hpand doing. The his
tory of the past two years has given
the Democracy decided advantage.
1t has shown that there exists a state
of rotlenness in many OF the executive
depa rtments of the government in
Washington for which the Republican
1arty is responsible. 1t has shown
that the national organization of the
Republican party has at least been re-
ceiving "stolen goods feom the graft
ers and robbers of the great New York
Life Insurance companies. 1t has
shown that the charge m; d by Alton
B. Parker that the trust and blg corpo-
rations were aiding the Republican
party TO elect Roosevelt and which
was so vehemently cCntradieted by
the President, were true. 1t has
shown that numbers of Republican
senators and representatives. in con-
gress were rascals OF the worst type,
for many of them have been convicted
while others who still occupy their
seats in the halls of Congrass have been
brought to disgrace if not to punish
ment. In short it has shown state of
rottenness in high official life that has
never been equaled in the past With
these fact all fresh IN the minds of the
people we may look for them to adj
minister singing rebuke to the party
in power and elect Democratic con-
gress next fall

The disclosures of the investigations
of the great life insurance companies
shocked the public conscience as moth
ing else has since the Credit Mobilier
scandals Of q third of a century ago.
The contributions of trust funds to po-
litical campaign committees were
sternly rebuked as criminal embezzel-
m ent, on the ore hand, and an attempt
IT. corrupt the politics of the country,
on the other. And hence it was that
came the demand for publicity of the
ifs al affairs of political parties.
All are agreed that full publicity of
the contributiina-by whom made, the
am punt, and flor what expended
would do much to purify politics; but
how is The pholic to find out that pub
Lefty publishes? 1t is absurd to say
tn 1t political committee can find leg
itimate use for a campaign fund of
millions; and therefore, if a commit
tee should receive contributions mani
testify greater than its Legitimate neces-
stiles demand, that committee Will find
a way to conceal the fact. What would
be easier than to recruit volunteer aux
Hilary committees?
There is the Protective Tariff League
for instance The statement is made
that it expends enormous sums toen-
courage and strengthen the protection
idea in the public mind. 1t maintains
an extensive and costly organization,
the duty of which is to look after irst
voters,n A list of these is made; notice
is taken of the politics, the conditions
in life, even the religious affiliations OF
their parents. To these young men lit
erature is supplied, and thousands of
them are influenced for life by it.
We do not vouch for the truth of that
story, but it is common report Of the
workings of the protective Tariff
l. league, 1t is legitimate-ift the money
10 pay for it is legitimately acquired,
but if it be embezzled funds of corpora !
tons, or "fat fried?' out of fairfield
monopolies, then 1t is graft, immoral
and corrupt.
How are Mr.. Belmont and his asso-
ciates, who demand publicity" to
reach this sort of thing? That the ex-
penditures of the Protective Tariff |
League are chargeable to the political
campaign fund there is no doubt; but
suppose the campaign committee repu
diate the league. How is that for pub
LEFTY?
The Democrats, too, may have their
auxiliaries, and the same difficulty
may be met their side of the hedge.
If we can only purify the public con-
science, the corruptions of national
committees will give little concern.
The trouble is that most all of us
think it is better to be victorious than
virtuous. There is disease publicity
will not cure.-W ashington Post.

That Gov. Dawson told the truth
when he wrote to Senator Iillman that
West Virginia is controlled by the rail-

been known for years by those who
were acquainted at all with the man.
ner in which the state government
has been run. Senator John j. Corn
well in his interview clearly shows that
for this state of affairs than Gov. Daw-
son himself, that there is upon our
statute book law sufficient to remeny
the very evil. of which the gouernor
complains in his letter Gov. Dawson
ought and we presume is as well ac
quainted with our code as any man
in the state and for years he has been
in position TO see that the law was
properly enforced, yet the railroads
have been permitted to go on in their
Iawlessness without hinderance.
1t is no secret that Senator Elkins is
friend to the railroads and that he
has used his high office to shield and
protect them whenever he could be of
, use to them.
{ He is personally largely interested in
railroads and he has not hesitated to
take care Of his personal interests by
taking care of the railroad interests in
general. No one who really knows
Senaaor Elktns has ever expected him
to represent the people to the detri-
| ment of the railroads. He has long
been referred to as the Senator of the
railroads and he has rather taken pride
in the fact that he was friendly to the
railroad interests.
! If Gov. Dawson has had the light to
burst upon him, if he at last sees his
duty and is willing and anxious to do
/ his duty as he processes to be the
people are ready to give him credit for
/ what he deserves. If he has driver
Senator Elkins at least in a degree
to do his duty to the state which he
I represents, he has done the state a good
/ turn. If he begins at once to execute
the laws already in eNistance to le-
rtrain the railroads and to compel
them to oby the laws, he may go 20
( far as TO call an extra session of the
/ legislators TO enact additional laws
hat may be necessary for the protec-
-ioa Of The people of the state and the
, people Will endorse his action. The
.pIbIic is thorough arouse by the AFRO
eauce Of the railroads and the utter dis
regard for the laws. They are aroused
as never before and they expect, yea,
demand every executive officer and leg
lator to do his duty. 1t is clearly the
duty Of the governor TO act, and to act
with promp tness and decision.

1t is apparent to even the casual
observer that the present Congress will
do nothing for the people in the way
of tariff reform. The country is ready
and anxious for some legislation Civ
ing relief from the outrageous eXactions

people are only allowed the opportu-
nifty they will pulverizethe standpat-
