PROTECTION AND
: . SOUTH. '
THE
The Washington Post gives ' us
the following : ' "
"During" the last fiscal vear the
United States exported, in round
numbers, merchandise to the value
of $1,500,000,000. Of this stunen-
dous sum the South, with less than
a third of the"population and less
than a tenth of the wealth of the
country, supplied merchandise to
the value of $614,000,000, or more
man w per cent, of our entire ex
ports. Cotton, in the raw state.
was exported to the value of $379,
965,014. This represented more
than one-half the entire cotton
crop.
Suppose our manufacturers
had to find foreign -markets for
one-half of their products t.Thev
nave a protected home market for
92 per cent, of all their turn out,
and the 8 per cent, they send
abroad is 'dumped' and sold for
'what it tall fetch.
" The late President McKinley
appointed Mr. John A. Kasson, an
accomplished diplomat, one of the
ablest thinkers upon the" subject
of political economy in the coun
try, and a protectionist of the
most consistent record, to negoti
ate certain reciprocity treaties
with foreign States. Mr. Kasson
negotiated a treaty with France
that would have been of immense
advantage to the South, more
. than doubling her exports of cot
tonseed oil, as it would, 'and help
ing to swell the right side of the
'balance of trade' by at least $20,
000,000; but it seems that France
under the new arrangement would
have been permitted to send us
cotton stockings at a lower rate
than is nominated in the Dingley
schedules, and somebody who is
making cotton stockings in New
-England ordered the knife put to
the throat of this Kasson treaty
and its throat was accordingly and
promptly cut. i,
"Thus in order to afford New
-England opportunity to make an
additional $100,000 or so on cotton
stockings the foreign market for
cotton seed oil is curtailed $20,
000,000 per annum. The Republi
can party was never in favor o
reciprocity after an election, how
ever, vociferous it yelled for it
before the vote was cast.
The Republican party has even
quit talking reciprocity as a vote
"getter. It now stands for "le
well enough alone" and seems to
fool the people pretty well with
that slogan. ,
The policy of the Republican
party , has been to build a wall
around the home trade by its high
protective tariff, but lately the
American people "are awakening
to the importance of. getting
share of the foreign trade. The
Republican party expects to get i
without any reciprocal relations
with the foreign countries which
pur manufactures wish to exploit
but it does seem that American
manufacturers might have enough
influence to secure reciprocity
when it is clearly to their advan
tage to do so. The cotton oi
trade with France ispne instance
where it would be an advantage to
a big industry and if we look
around we would find other indus
tries that would be equally bene
fitted by theglve and take prin
ciple of trade.
OLD TIME FOOLERS.
The old line Republican organ
ization of Philadelphia, "the ma
chine,", which is responsible for
' the rottenness in the Quaker City,
is out with a full ticket to fight
the reform nominations. The ma
chine nominations have been made
on the promise of "accomplishing
reform within the party."
The reeking old organization's
promises are on a line with the
pretences of the national Republi
can party which fools tariff, re
form Republicans by telling them
that the tariff should be reformed
in the house of its friends. When
the O. O. P. sweeps the deck with
a landslide it holds on to the high
tariff with renewed grip and its
answer to the tariff reform Repub
licans is that the country gave
'them an overwhelming' vote of
confidence with the understand
ing that they would "le.t well
enough alone."
At the Ohio State Republican
convention several days ago, Vice
President Fairbanks, Senator For
aker, and other leaders announced
that as the country was prosper
ous and doing well, there was no
need to talk about reducing the
tariff. As a matter of course the
highly protected interests are
prosperous and under the circum
- stances they are bound to be pros
perous 'when the Republican par
ty makes all the people pay high
tariff taxes for the benefit of the
few people. It is the masses of
the people who want relief , from
the exorbitant cost of living in
comparison with their earnings.
hey, will, however, never get that
relief out of the Republican party.
Asan instance of how .the Re
publican party "makes j4he 'z con
sumers pay the taxes, it proposes
to relieve the deficit in the treae
ury by putting a tax. , on coffee.
The Republican statesmen aire
bestowing a great deal of serious
attention on the problem present
ed by the growing deficit in - na
tional revenues. That nroblem
must be met in two ways either
by more taxes or curtailment of
expenditures. These -are the al
ternatives, but it is never hard to
tell which, alternative the Republi
can party will snap up. It always
falls back on the already overtax
ed people ..instead of relieving
them. It is already makine our
clothing come high, making our
grub come high, making the neces
saries of life come high, and now
it contemplates a further increase
of household expenses by taxing
coffee. The G. O. R, not satisfied
with- already pinching our. "bread
basket," is making a pass at pur
guzzle. " " . ; '
An Iowa girl sued a man for
breach of promise and her com
plaint alleges . that he often .told
her how delicious her kisses were,
The jury gave the girl a verdict
for $1,000,. and the man gladly
paid it, gallantly . declaring that
the sweet kisses he got. were worth
that much apiece. Just as we have
said the price is what a man is
able to pay.
Two newspaper men in Georgia
want to be governor .and now
comes John Temple Graves, editor
of the Atlanta News, who thinks
he is about the size for Bacon's
senatorial toga. Georgia used to
have Toombs in the Senate but
we are not sufficiently informed to
state whether Graves will stand
the ghost of a show.
Kansas is always coming for
ward with strange things. Some
body named Joe Satterthwait, o
Douglas, Kas., who is conducting
a civic righteousness campaign in
his town, got wrought up the other
day, and gave vent to this epi
gram: "If there is no hell, a vast
amount of raw material is going
to waste."
It is now rumored that Miss
Alice Roosevelt is to marry Con
gressman Nick Longworth,
Ohio,. who is said to have jumped
with her into a bathing tank on
board the steamer. Well jumping
into the sea of matrimony is differ

If a lady were to meet a wel

NO ERROR IN CASE OF DEWEY
Supreme Court Holds That Newbern
Defaulting Cashier Must Serve.
Other Opinions Yesterday.
(Special Star Telegram.) "
Raleigh, N. C, Oct 3. The Supreme
Court finds no error m the trial and
conviction of. T. W. Dewey, of New
bern, defaulting cashier' of the Farm
ers' and Merchants' .Bank. The court
holds that the refusal of. the bill of
particulars Is not' appealable unless
it were possible for a gross abuse to
resultEven If the appeal lay, it
could not be taken except by enter
ing exception and appeal from- the
final judgment There is less excuse
for an appeal in this case since the bill
of particulars was allowed by subse
quent judge before trial, it is held.
When the judge is requested to put
instruction in writing the statue only
requires a written charge as to the
law applicable to the facts of the case.
It does not make it an error if the
evidence is orally recited on general
remarks made as to the general duty
of the jury.
Associate Justice Hoke filed a dis
senting opinion on the ground that the
trial judge committed error in sub
mitting the oral remarks to the jury
when he had been asked to put the
charge in writing. Dewey is under
$40,000 bond and the sentence is to six
years in the penitentiary.
Other opinions of interest are: Kirk-
man vs. Holland, Craven, affirmed;
Peacock vs. Barnes, -no error; Darden
vs. Timberlake, Wilson, decided in
favor of plaintiff in both cases; State
vs. Lucas, Sampson, no error; Weeks
vs. Wilklns, Sampson, reversed;
Hawks vs Hall, Sampson, affirmed;
Stone vs Steamship Company, New
Hanover, no error; Donlan vs. Trust
Company, New Hanover, decided in
favor of the plaintiff in both appeals;
Porter vs- Armstrong, Pender, modi
fled and affirmed; King -vs Hobbs,
Sampson, affirmed; Outlaw vs. Gar
ner, from Duplin, no error; Farley vs
Farley, Sampson, per curlan, affirmed;
SIkes vs. Power Company, Ne.w Han
over, per curiam, affirmed; Cable Com
pany vs. Smith, Harnett, dismissed for
. failure to print record.

Charlotte, N. C, Oct 3. A special
from: Raleigh to The Observer says:
"The State Supreme Court, Chief Jus
tice Walter Clark and Associate Jus
tice Hoke " dissenting, to-day handed
down an opinion denying the motion
of counsel for a new trial-for Thomas
W. Dewey, defaullng cashier of the
Merchants' and Farmers' Bank, of
Newbern. Dewey was recently sen
tenced to six years imprisonment in
the State penitentiary. The motion
for a new trial was based on the fail
ure of the presiding judge to reduce
his entire charge to writing. Dewey
was charged with the embezzlement of
about $130,000 belonging to the bank."

ALMOST A SERIOUS : WRECK
Enclosed City Car Camfr Very Near
- Plunging Down -Steep jjcline OfK
Red Cross" Street , v"
rnree or rour passengers - were
slightly hurt and half a dozen others
were badly frightened and shaken up
as the result of a wreck of a street
car last night about 8 o'clock at Front
and Red Cross streets. The injured
are Mrs. . H. F. Otten and ; Miss
Lizzie Otten, the first named ' suffer
ing severely from nervous shock, and
bruises and the latter with a badly
sprained wrist and hand; Conductor
J. W. Bryan, in charge of the car, who
was thrown against the motor box, and
his knee sprained, and Mr- Chas Bray,
a clerk in Mr. R. F. Hamme's store,
who was thrown and suffered a badly
sprained ankle. Injuries to others con
sisted of merely scratches and
bruises.
About half way down the. steep
incline of the track on Red Cross
street, between Front and Second, the
brake chain under No. 24, one of the
larger ot the enclosed cars used by
the Consolidated Company on the city
line, broke just as the car had gained
the momentum of the grade and in
another minute it had struck the sharp
curve at the corner of Front and Red
Cross streets. The speed was such
that the wheels would not take the
curve and the car dashed across the
street, stopping on the very crest of
the still steeper incline, leading down
to Nutt street and the Champion Com
press sheds. There were eight pas
sengers on the car and when the
brake chain broke, Motorman Rob Wil
liams on the front of the car, shouted
to Conductor Bryan to throw on the
rear .brakes and in the meantime
sticking, to his post to the very last
he threw on the reverse. . The passen
gers realized that something - was
wrong when the motorman shouted
and the car dashed on down the grade
with the increasing momentum. They
all arose in their seats and when
the car struck the cobble stong. they
were thrown either in tine tUle or
over what was immediately In front of
them.
ur. j. T. scnonwaid was a passen
ger on the car and when Mrs. Otten
fainted under the excitement and Miss
Otten was injured, he assisted the
ladies to the Atlantic Inn, on the cor
ner. Later they were joined by Mr.
Otten and accompanied back home.
The others - who were injured soon
took transfer cars for - their destina
tion.
The transfer cars were used in pull
ing the derailed car back on the track
and the wreck was soon cleared. Had
the car gained a little more momen
turn and the men in charge failed to
stick to their posts as they did, the
scene of the wreck would no doubt
have shifted to the foot'of the steep
hill on Nutt street and loss of life and
serious injury would no doubt have
been added to the casualties. The
wreck was witnessed by several per
sons standing on the corner, who turn
ed away under the fearful contempla
tion that the car would not stop be
fore it dashed on down the Belgian
block pavement as far as Nutt street

New York,; October 2- Frederick E.
Carlton, who was convicted of three
charges of bigamy and one of grand
larceny in Brooklyn, was today sen
tenced to an aggregate 6f 19 years in
the State prison. On the first indict
ment that of marrying Mary Gorman
while his first wife was alive, sen.;
ence was - suspended. For marrying
Mary J. Smith while, he had another
wife living, a sentence of five years
was imposed, and for bigamy in mar

sentence of four years was given. On

ging and robbing Henry Schwab, a
machinist in the United States navy,
Carlton was sentenced to ten years.
Carlton's counsel made a plea for
leniency because of Carlton's ill
health and said a long sentence would
mean practically a life sentence.
Judge Aspinwall was most bitter in
his denunciation of the prisoner's
crimes and said he was convinced
that the prisoner attempted murder
when he robbed Schwab. Continuing
Judge Aspinwall. said:
"You are at heart a villlan, a mur

am sorry that I cannot send you to

that your mother was a woman, but
you played with the love of women,

denunciation, Carlton was met by a
young woman who called him by name
and began to weep exclaiming:
"What the judge said was alt true."

this manner escaped from the mob.
STATE "FIRE WASTE" LAW
Announced in Raleigh That It Will Ma
terially Reduce Insurance Rates
in North Carolina.
In the editorial columns of the Star
this morning will be found an ex
tensive review of the good effect al
ready apparent from the passage of
laws calculated to reduce fire waste
In the State by the last Legislature
Particular reference is to what is
known as the "fire waste law," which
was before the Board of Aldermen at
its meeting Monday night-and which
was referred by that body to the Or
dinance Committee and the City At
torney, to ascertain if the same ap
plies to Wilmington and what course
to pursue in the event it does. It
seems that the passage of the bill has
had the effect to very materially re
duce the rates for fire insurance in
towns and cities to which the law ap
plies and that if such be - the case,
there will no longer be any question
as to whether the Board of Aldermen'
will wish it to apply to this city. The
following special was received last
night from. Raleigh :-
"Raleigh, N. C, Oct 3. Insurance
Commissioner J. R. Young makes offi
cial announcement of a considerable
reduction just made by the insurance
companies doing business in this State
to apply to fire risks where the new
fire waste law, passed by the last Leg
islature, is in force. On all mercantile
buildings and hotels (and the contents
thereof), with metal, slate, Ule or oth
er approved fire proof roofs, a reduc
tion from the basis rate of 10 cents,
or $1.00 on the-thousand dollars and
on all churches, schools, and public
buildings, and on contents thereof,
with metal slate, tile, on other approv
ed fire proof roofs, a reduction from
the basis rate of 5 cents or 50 cents
on the thousand.
"This "reduction applies to sixty
seven cities and towns of the State,
including Wilmington. It is estimated
that the saving in premiums by this
reduction to Raleigh alone is $2,500
per year."
The matter is treated more at length
In the editorial columns-of the Star

HORSE TRADERS FALL OUT
Drayman and Hackman Made Interest
ing Scene in Bornemann's Court.
Interesting complications promise to
ensue in Justice Bornemann's court at
1 o'clock this afternoon when a horse
trade between Hezekiah Pollock, a
negro drayman, and Alfred Lamb, a
colored hackman, will form the basis
for an investigation of subsequent
events that almost made a "rough
house" of the judge's law office yester
day. Lamb and Pollock traded horses
a few days ago and Pollock claims
the exchange was on approval, so to
speak, and that after both had tried
the animals, either was at liberty to
swap back, tf he chose. Pollock want
ed to call the trade off after trying
the horse given him by Lamb in ex
change, but the latter said "Nay, Nay,
Pauline." Pollock then brought Lamb
Into court under civil proceedure.
When the two horse owners met In the
justice shop, they glared at one an
other, the lie was at length exchanged
and officers had to restrain them from
going together. The judge called a
halt In the proceedings and other war
rants were made out. for the more re
cent occurrences. Then each side hur
ried off after a lawyer, Pollock employ
ing Wm. J. Bellamy and Lamb secur
ing the services of Herbert McCiam
my. The cases were then continued
until 1 o'clock this afternoon, and the
judge says lively times are ahead, for
he delights in nothing more than, the
forum of debate.-

than she ever waa and comes up to
all the requirements of the government-inspectors

EUROPE IS STIRRED
OVER NEW ALLIANCE
Germany Wants Russia and France to
Join Her to Offset Anglo
Japanese Alliance.
Ay Wire to The Mornine Star.
Paris, Oct. 4. Chancelleries here
and throughout Europe are taking the
keenest Interest in the possible and
even probable formation' of a new Eu
ropean alliance consequent upon the
termination of the war and the con
clusion of a closer Anglo-Japanese al
liance. This has advanced beyond
discussion in the newspapers, and has
already reached the stage of discreet
diplomatic souadings. Th.e various pro
posed' re-alignments of European
powers are divided Into three main
movements first, British Inclination
toward an accord with Russia ; second.
a German-Japanese alliance; and
third, Russo-German overtures to in
duce France to join the latter. group
ing.
Great Britain's desire for a rap-
proachment with Russia has brought
about the distinct diplomatic sug
gestion that Great Britain Is readw to
Hive fuller recognition to Russik's
privileged position in Southern Turkey,
notably at Constantinople and along
the Bosphorus. Russia's ambition in
this direction has heretofore encoun
tered strong opposition in England.
The view In French official quarters
is distinctly favorable to the Anglo-
Russian rapproachment. It was one
of the projects of M. DelCasse,
when foreign minister to have King
Edward visit Emperor Nicholas as a
means for rurtnermg tne reconcilia
tion of Russia and Great Britain.
Since the retirment of M. DelCasse,
this project has been in abeyance, but
the officials continue favorable to an
Anglo-Russian entente.
Concerning the proposed German
Russian agreement strong elements in
both countries favor an accord as a
counterpoise to the Anglo-Japanese al
liance. The Temps to-night prints
an authorized interview with Prince
von Buelow, the German Imperial
Chancellor, openly advocating a German-Russian
rapproachment.
EPEDEMIC OF DIPHTHERIA. ..
Classes ?t Normal Academy Dismissed
On Accout of Outbreak.
Annapolis, Md., October 3. The ex
tension of leave already extended to
the three upper classes of midship
men on account of the numerous cases
of diphtheria among the members of
the new fourth class has been extend
ed" from one week to two and accord
ing to present orders the Naval Aca
demy will open on October 14. How
ever, it is anticipated that a further
evtension may "be granted. There are
forty cases of diphtheria or diphtheric
sore throats, although there have been
no deaths and none anticipated. The ';
disease has not yet showed signs of "
abatement and there are several new
cases. Before the main body of the
midshipmen are permitted to return
all the academy building will be thor
oughly' fumigated. The members of
the fourth class not affected by the
disease have been quartered on the
frigate Hartford.
At Asheville on Tuesday, Sheriff
Reed stated that the names of the
men whom Peter Smith Implicated in
the murder of his step-daughter last
September are Henry and Columbus
Frisbee, of Macon county Smith sign
ed a written statement that these men
were guilty, and gave the names of
men by whom he said It would be
proved. The sheriff is 'inclined to
think this statement false and for the
purpose of enabling him to secure a
commutation of his sentence, and the
opinion is expressed that Smith him
self ,was the murderer. The woman
disappeared one night and the only
trace of her ever found was ner sever
ed head. ; Smith is the white man who
was hanged at Marshall on Monday
for assaulting a 16-year-old white girl.
