BREADING TROUBLE FOR
HER NEAR future
NICARAGUA MISTREATING AM
ERIcAN CITIZENS GROSSLY
AND DELIBERATELY.

CovINA, Cal, April 2i.-Recent
dispatches concerning the lamentable
conditions in Nicaragua are confirmed
BY Prof. J. J. Morgan Principal Of the
Covina Union school, who has just
returned from that country. His
statements OF the treatment accorded
American citizens there are startling.
"The time is approaching rapidly"
said he, when the United States Gov
ernment must set aside the Monroe
doctrine, or establish patrol Of sold
iers in Nicaragua. The outrages COM
mitted against Americans are more
aggravated than the annoyances suf-
fered by subjects Of other countries
for the Nicaraguan government holds
the United States in contempt, in spite
OF the fact that the protectorate makes
possible he maintenance Of that gov
ernment. American citizens are suf-
fering in the jail there on trumped
up charges without any means OF
redress. Prof Morgan says he was
constantly shadawed by detectives OF
President Zelays and on one occasion
came near to death through being
mistaken for an American plantation
foreman who had become unpopular
with the government. Hundreds Of
Americans who have invested capital
there are harassed by the president
and business transactions are difficult
and hazardous.

The ticket agent at Biltmore

Hendersonville and Bluemont

Baptist Assembly colony near
Black Mountain, which is rapidly
increasing in membership and
popularity as a resort place.
Everybody knows about Hender-

sort to be found anywhere. And

One of the best laws enacted
by the Legislature of 1907 is the
act providing for the examlna-
ton, by the State laboratory OF
hygiene, of all water in bottles
or other packages sold by various
springs or supplied by various
municipalities. Careful investi-
cations are made and if, after
three successive analyses, the CO.
lon bacilli, so dangerous to pub
lie health, is discovered in any
package, the public is warned
against it's use. Pure water
is essential to health and
the State has done well to take
this precaution. In the monthly
bulletin just issued by the State
Board of Health, the public is
warned against the use of water
from Buffalo Lithia Springs, Vir-
ginia, the claim being that it is
dangerous to the public health.

and THE TRUSTS

While the country waited with
bated breath the final act in the
tariff farce in Washington, the
trusts have kept on fleeing the
people. Every day tells a story
of a dividend, or the "squelch-
ing'' of the price Of the raw
material which is the first chap
ter in the wickedness of the
operations of the great combines.
Few of the onlookers-contribu-
tors to the enormous holdings of
the octopus-place the blame on
the proper persons, aud these
proper persons aforesaid have
taken advantage of the detected
vision.
It seems hardly necessary to
again call attention to the rough
shod manner in which the Re-
publican members of both houses
of congress have ridden over the
wishes and rights of the people
at large, and yet to allow the
opportunity to do this to pass,
while the action is fresh in the
minds of those who pay the
freight, would be a direliction
for which we could not excuse
ourselves.
Time and space forbids the
publication of the tariff bill in
full. Suffice it to say truly, too
that the republican party,
through Speaker Cannon, Sena-
tor Aldrich and President Taft,
has repudiated every prediction
pledge made to the people, and
surrendered bodily to the trusts.
But it is no more than might
have been expected from a party
owned and operated by protected
interests. Blessed is he who
expects little, for he shall not be
disappointed" but thrice
blessed (0 is he who expecteth
much and gets tin the neck.

DEMOCRATS POWERLESS.

Representative James T. Lloyd
of Missouri, chairman of the
Democratic congressional COM
mittee, denies the charge that
Democrats could have defeated
the adoption of the conference
report in the House. In argur-
ing his case he said: There
were ten members of the House
recorded as not voting on the
conference report. Four of
these were Republicans and six
Democrats. The four Republi-
cans were paired with four Demo
Gratis, leaving two Democrats I'M
paired. The majority of the
final vote, according to the rec
ord, was IL. If all the Demo-
Gratis had been present and voted
the majority would have been
reduced only two. This state
ment plainly shows that it was
impossible for the Democrats to
have defeated the conference re-
port, and any reflection made
upon the majority leadership is
entirely without foundation.
The report made by the Demo
Gratis on this report was the best
ever made in recent times"
The Democrats not paired were:
Hobson, of Alabama, who was
in the West lecturing, and Weis-
Sc, of Wisconsin, who was at
home, trying to proven a strike
in his tannery.
The above from the Washing
ton correspondence of the Char
lotte Observer is in correction of
a statement some days ago, from
the same source, that several
democratic members were absent
when consideration of the con-
ference committees report on
the tariff bill was before the
House on the final ''show down."
1t was charged that with every
democrat present and voting
against the report a different re-
suit would have been obtained.
We are glad to publish the state
ment of Mr.. Lloyd, which the
record seems to sustain, and to
note the fact that the democrats
voted the straight ticket on the
final passage of this remarkable
piece of legislation"
Even Senator Baily, of Texas,
who had been talking rather
strange at times, set himself
straight before the bill passed on
Thursday, declaring in a strong
