AMERICAN AND FOREIGN TRUbifc The Republicans sy that there are trusts in England, and that the remov al of the tariff is no remedy. But that is a statement that will not hold water, in a recent issue of the Baltimore American, itself a Republican news paper of the partisan type, it said that there was one consolation to the con sumers in the Coal Trust situation, and that was that the Coal Trust could not put their prices very much higher, or Welsh coal would be brought here and would undersell them. That is the sense of the whole thing. If a Trust controlled article has no tariff on it, the Trusts can't raise their prices above a certain point, else they will meet with foreign competition. But if there is a tariff duty on that article, the Trusts can add just as much more to the price as the amount of the duty, and still not have to meet foreign com petition. But it is not worth while to argue this question. Mr. Babcock, himself, has said that the tariff on American made articles, that are sub ject to export, should be abolished as they simply enable the trusts that con trol them to fix exorbitant prices to the consumer, and Mr. Babcock has not repudiated that statement, although he ; r rhairman nf the Remiblican Con- gressional Committee. Is it not high time that this tariff "which enables trusts to fix exorbitant prices on the consumer" is removed? The Republi cans say that this is no time for tariff revision, however. It is evident then, that the people must look to the Dem ocrats for relief. COURTESY FLANKED BY WIS DOM. J. lew uajri? a&u, sajs inc nuj,uQun Chronicle, "there was a wreck on the Charleston Western North Carolina Railroad, and promptly after the facts were known in the office of the com pany, the editor of the Chronicle re ceived a note from Superintendent A. W. Andei'son briefly and accurately setting out the facts and circumstances of the accident; stating that he knew the reporters would get such informa tion as they could from different sour 'ces, and that he preferred frankly to ive the newspaper the facts." Right along the same line it may be noted that the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern lailways are univer sally courteous in this respect. When an accident or an incident worth space in a newspaper occurs, the facts are cheerfully given from headquarters. It is the rig'-t spirit: the newspapers want the facts and unless they are ob tained from official sources, the story is likely to be garbled, sometimes working harm both to the railroad and the newspaper. In this connection the Richmond Leader says: "But it is the greatest mistake in the world for a railroad company or a.y other company, or for any individual, to attempt to conceal the facts from a newspaper in a matter of public inter est. The straight-forward way is the best. When the general public know that they have potten the facts and all the facts about any case they soon dis miss ihf snhiprt frnm Vimr minrl r,A - . v.wjvvv - W lll Vll JLAJ. 111U U.1L i cease talking about it. But when they have cause to believe that there is con- rpnlrripnt thnt ; rart nf tho truth hoc -' ' j " jt- vj . niv 11 Li AiCfcO been suppressed, they indulge in all sorts of surmises and talk the matter over among themselves and keep on talking and usurllv imagine that the case is worse than it really is." That is good news that comes from Baltimore to the effect that the germ which causes infantile summer com plaint, has been isolated. It is another long step lorward for medical science. Experiments rre low being made -,vitii curative serum and the prayers of ev ery mother in the land will attend those efforts. The importance of the discovery cannot be overestimated when the fact is taken into considera tion that thousands of the little inno cents succumb every summer to the malady. Are there no alamanacs in Massa chusetts? The Springfield Republican perpetrates this in the face of the State's recent Monroe Roger's exper ience: "Governor Candler of North Carolina, is busy denying a story that he recently gave it as his opinion that Shakespeare, the Bible and "Poor Rich ard's Almanac" are the three greatest books in the English langaage, and . that the last is the best of the three." By way of information we sug gest that the Republican call two doors below. Referring to the Craven county Democratic primaries a correspon dent of the Raleigh Post says: "While there are certain types of office-seekers and ring politicians who do not approve of these pri maries, it cannot be denied that the preponderating sentiment of the hum ble party man is decidedly in favor of them." There is no mistaking the fact that the Democratic voters favor primaries, and the day is coming when they will be adopted throughout the State. It will be a source of genuine pleas ure to American sportsmen to know that Sir Thomas Lipton Intends chal lenging again for America's cup. On the occasion of the last series of con tests for the highly-prized trophy, Sir Thomas proved himself to be a high toned gentleman and a thoroughbred sportsman. -He made a splendid im pression on the American people and it will not be considered unpatriotic if we wish him better success next time. The coal barons are defiant; the miners are determined; the outlook for the coming winter is gloomy indeed. Patience has ceased to be a virtue in the coal strike matter, f here must be some practicable way of ending it and if the person, or corporation, who holds the key to the situation refuses to act then the old maxim of the unwilling bird will come in play. The RepubV.cn ns are having uphill work in the attempt to whitewash the party in North Carolina. Down in Halifax county, E. W. Hyman, a Dem ocrat, refused to sell his birthright and promptly declined the "Independent" (Republican) nomination for county treasurer. STATE PRESS. (Greensboro Telegram.) There was a very deplorable affair last night in Asheville. We imagine that there are few unprejudiced peo ple who will justify or even extenuate Congressman Blackburn's behavior. He will have an interminable job of it if he proposes to assault evervbodv who jjas saij something about the story that his winning a bride is dependent on his re-election to Congress. Wre ven- ture to say that no one has mentioned the item with the least intention of in sulting any one. The part that Senator Pritchard had in the affair was not creditable to him. (Alleghany Star.) "Such a thing as a man being a Dem ocrat and an honest man at the same time cannot be." Thus spoke Mont Wel- borne, the Republican candidate for Senator in this. district, here Monday. Mr. Welborne voted the Democratic ticket for twenty-five years. Therefore we conclude that that much of his life has been dishonest. (Wadesboro Courier.) E Spencer Blackburn, the Republican Congressman from M'r. Kluttz district, if said to have blacked the face of an editor in Asheville, on yesterday, be cause he quoted what the Roxboro Courier had to say about his forthcom ing marriage. If the clipping was un true, the Roxboro paper is responsible, and not those who quote him. It it is of himself. In fact, it was ill taste to fight over a matter so delicate any way. ' (Asheboro Courier.) Never before have the Republicans in their State platform declared for a "four months' school in every district." They have at last favored it, but after the present Democratic administration had established a four months' term in every district. (Winston Sentinel.) All this talk and commotion on the part of Republicans over their excel lent prospects for victory in North Carolina will prove to be only another illustration of "Much Ado About Noth ing." (Durham Herald.) If the Independents are swallowed up by the Republicans it is to be hoped it will do that party good. In Time of Danger. A lecturer discoursing on the subject of "Health" incmired.

There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition, of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and whea it is entirely closed deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed, forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu lars, free. F. J. (SHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
