FRIDAY, FEBRUARY iS, 1898, -oi T 01 Tin: i-uviNf; ian, into Tin: I'licK " The Autocrat of Legislation," as Senator Lindsay, during the extraordinary session of Congress, truthfully named the Sugar Trust, has much more to do with Cuba's freedom or enslavement than has been generally supposed. Some months ago with its pal, the To'oacco Trust, it laid a deep plot l j get contiol of the products of the unhappy island through the United Stages, and force this gov ernmentto stand security for the bonds issued by Cuba to a syndt cate for the cash purchase of her freedom from Spain, the United States to have control of the island's customs houses for tw enty two years, or until the indemnity was paid from the revenues. It was a most plausible plan, and was made to appear even feasible and most beneficial to the Cubans by that great trust organ, the New York Sun, which took such a lively interest in the matter that under the caption of "Our Plan to Free Cub;i" it had the whole scheme cabled from Havana as just what the tyrannized subjects of Spain were waiting to hurrah for By some mishap the Sun an nounced that Col. John J. McCook was the principal promoter of the plan; that President McKinley had been studying it for two months previous to Minister Woodford's arrival in Spain, and that he con sidered with the greatest interest the many communications sent to him from New York in favor of the scheme. Rut the Sun was silenced by the trust magnates in short order. In its endeavor to help their cause it had divulged too much that the attorney for the Sugar and Tobacco Trusts, Col. John J. McCook, whom McKinley desired to have but feared to appoint as Attorney Gen eral when making up his cabinet, was the chief promoter anil ihul he was in touch with the President to enslave Cuba to these "Autocrats of Legislation." Comparatively speaking, the people have been oblivious to the fact that this plan of the trusts has never been dropped. It has con trolled the administration with every move it has made in its rela tions with Spain; it has compelled the people ot the United States to quietly submit to contempt and insult from a despotic, decayed, lying and dying nation, and it so controls the President that he can ''gracefully" (as the trust organs put it) submit to be called "a low politician anil jingo" by Spanish Minister De Lome. And now it comes to light again, with J. Pierpont Morgan at its head, who has formed "a syndicate with a capital of $400,000,000 to be represented by bonds to that amount, which bonds are to be counlersigned by the United States" to victimize poor Cuba. This means that the President is at last to intervene, not to free Cuba, but to enslave her to the syndicate, and the United States is to stand sponsor for the most in famous plan that the insatiate greed for wealth and power ever put into the calloused heart of man. In normal times the revenues of Cuba from customs houses are about $iS,ooo,ooo, but as the Span ish officials stole $5,000 a day, the revenues acknowledged a year be fore the war were $S,ooo,oco. Rut granting the amount to be what it should be, for twenty-two years after the proposed plan was put in operation the island would be in servitude to a bond syndicate, to which its people must pay inter est not only on $400,000,000, but as much more as may be squeezed from their slavery. Virtually the United States has lent itself through the power of the adminis tration to pick Cuba out of Spain's frying pan and cast her into the furnace of the trusts. Far better for Cuba that she con tinue to light even to the last ditch than that she should be compelled to accept such servility, fcr of all pieces of rascality and inhumanity the plan of the "Autocrats of Leg islation" to free Cuba is the most henious.

ItaiU of the Sad End of Wood Hicks. Correspondence of The Messenger. Mr. Wood Hicks was instantly killed Sat unlay moruiug, February jth, about 9 o'clock, on the road leading down Limekiln creek to the Bakersville road, about one half mile from his home. He was on his way to Armstrong with 750 feet of framing, and as the wagon was going up a very steep incline it turned completely over, throw ing the entue load of lumber on Mr. Hicks. The accident occurred about fifty yards from Mr. Dun can's house, and Mrs. Duncan, hearing the noise of the falling lumber, summoned help and went to the scene, only to find the mangled and bleeding corpse of Mr. Hicks lying beneath the load of lumber. On account of the lumber being fastened together with boom chain, it had to be taken off a piece at a time belore the body could be extricated. Mr. Hick's neck was broken ami his whole body terribly crushed. This was indeed a sad accident, and the uu timely taking off this bright young man touches the sympathetic chord of his host of acquaintances and friends, who deeply sympathize with the grief stricken father and mother. The remains were laid to rest Monday, the 7th, amid a large con course of sorrowing friends and weeping relatives, the burial serv ice being conducted by Kev. J. H Greenlee. A. H. Conflicting Railroad Interest. Considerable excitement in rail road matters existed at Hickory on Wednesday. The Southern Rail way desiring to lay a side track to the buildings of the Catawba River Lumber Co., proceeded to cross the tracks of the C. & N. W.,which was necessary in order to do so This action was resisted by the latter road which tore out the por tion of the track laid by the South' ern. When the force of the South ern attempted to replace the track torn up they were met by an op posing force of the C. & N. W. and an encounter ensued, but without personal violence. A report reached the town authorities that a riot was in progress and the mayor of that place deputized a number of special officers, fully armed, who appeared on the scene of the dis pute to preserve order. The end of the matter was that the narrow gauge road submitted to the tracks ot the Southern remaining, and peace and quiet was restored. Cuban Affairs. It was reported from several European points that Spain was making great efforts to hurry for ward naval preparations. The news from cuba was to the effect that General Blanco had returned to Havana without having accom plished anything toward inducing the insurgent chiefs to surrender and accept autonomy : it was repre sented that the situation was greatly staiuet?, and that the peo pie were expecting a crisis soon which would settle the fate of the island; the insurgents were report ed to favor annexation to this country or at lease a protectorate by this government; dispatches received in Havana from Madrid represented the Sagasta cabinet as disgusted with the Cubau auton omist ministry, because of its neg lect of military operations against the insurgents. The Spanish gov eminent decided to send two addi tional cruisers to the United States. The Surprise of All. Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, III., in speaking of Dr. King's New Dis covery, says that last winter his wife was attacked with la grippe, and her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and Paua could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop into hasty consumption. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from the first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption,Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to do this good work. Try it. Free trial bottles at White & Yancey's, Ma rion; W. 11 Disosway 's, Old Fort.

Batemau, of Maine, who uomiuated Seuator Butler for uationaiPopnlist chairman : But ler is the Beuedict Arnold of this country. He has taken every means to advance his own persoual interests. His treachery is uu- blushing. He wants to be re elected Senator and knows he can't be without the aid of the North Carolina Democrats. His course is run with the majority of the Populist national committee, for it is against hiiu. There uever was a mau so thoroughly hated and despised." All this balderdash about cor porations reminds one of the old story of the ass in sheep's clothing. Feeling that something must be done to turn the public mind from the devilment already done, the fusion bosses have raised a great rumpus with the railroads, aud for what! Simply to fool the people aud to get them to vote for them once more. It is all jargon. It is done to mislead aud Ldiud the tax payers. But all indications are that the whole coop of them will be buried like the Irishman wanted to bury the devil, with face dowu ward so that the more he scratched the deeper he got. They can't fool all the people all the time. Dana son DittjjatcA. We all know that the present State government neither fairly represents nor fitly governs the people ot the State. The only question is: How soou can we get rid of it? The elections this fall give us an opportunity to turn a portion ot the rascals out, and to curb the powers of the others. Will we take advantage of this opportunity, or will we wait until the euemy is thoroughly orgauized before we begin the fight ! It is going to take a long pull, a strong pull, ami a pull altogether to redeem the State this year. There is much work to do. A strong aud efficient party organization can not bo called into beiug in a day. That we need a strong and able man to lead the Democratic hosts is true; but it is also true that he must have a united aud well organized following, or his ell'orts will be in vain. Charlotte Times Democrat. That rabid gold bug, trust pro tecting paper, the New York tSun has to admit the following truth "A review of tbe whole debate shows beyond dispute the irapreg nable technical positiou of the sil verites. The fuuding act of July 14, 1879 expressly declares that the bonds to be issued under it shall be payable, principal and interest "in coin of the present standard value." The resumption act of 1875 authorizes the issue of "eithei of the description of bonds of the United States described in the act of Congress ap2 roved JuJj 14, 181 0, and all the bonds issued under that act, including the 3262, 000,000 of bonds sold by the Cleve laud administration, recite on then face, that they are payable, prin cipal aud interest, "in coiu of the standard value of the United States on said July 14, 1870" Now, the mints were not closed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver dollars ot 4121 grains each until May 1873, so that the "coin" iu which all the bonds of the United States in existence except the Pacific railroad subsidy bonds, embraces the silver dollar of 412i grains, without limitation in quan tity, as well as gold coin." The Only Issue. There are two or three Demo cratic newspapers in North Caro lina to whom wo would tender a few words of advice. It may not be much iu the eyes of those for whom it is intended, but still we think it worth the little trouble it takes to give it. This advice is to pay more attention to State issues and less to free silver. Never mind about the mugwumps. If there are any in North Carolina they can take care of themselves. They may profess whatever faith they please so that they vote with us, which thev will suielv do. Anv kind at a Democrat is better than any kind of a liepublican and every man's vote couuts. Drop the mugwump business and let up on free silver aud pay more attention to actual State interests and less to those which are fanciful. Our first and mightiest efloit should be to re deem the State. If North Carolina goes Democratic with the State ticket next fall she can surely be counted upon to sustain the presi dential ticket iu 1000. Free silver can take care of itself. But if it cannot, we just can't help it. Our first duty is to the old mother. We liust redeem her honor. We must strike the shackles from her "beau teous limbs of steel" (and steal); and we must drive out the horde of vampires who are preying upon her life blood; we must put good men and true men and honorable ineu and intelligent men and hon est men on guard; we must get rid of Russell and Butler and John R. Smith and Preacher Babb and Kirby Smith aud Hancock ami the eutire gang who are trying to drive her to the devil aud who care noth ing for the honor and fame and good rtpute of the old mother so loug as they may fatten on her vitals. When this is done, then we may turn our eyes abroad and see how it fates with our brethreu elsewhere, but until it is done we must have no eyes, no ears, no tongue, no thought, no care, no desire for any other issue than the thorough and complete redemp tion of the old mother State.

Correspondence of The Messenger. Washington, Feb. 14. Iu re cent public letters Mr. Bryan declares that the first step toward achieving the reforms declared for in the Chicago platform, must be the remonetization of silvei at 16 to 1. Any attempt to change the ratio would be an. ab mdoument of the principle contended for by the believers iu bimetallism. Therefore, Mr. Bryan says, the people of this country must deter mine to carry out the pledge made at Chicago, not waiting for or caring for the action of any other nation. This done, he thinks, the redemption of other pledges made may be entered upon with every prospect of success. He does not believe that there is the least danger of this nation being foiced by Great Britain to the silver standard should it adopt biiuetalliMn. The nation is strong enough to uphold any money it issues, aud besides that all the nations of Europe are, like the United States, feeling the pinch of the gold standard, and this is par ticularly true of France and the other members of the Latin union. Should the United States adopt bimetallism it would not be a year before all these nations would fol low aud resume the coinage of silver. The present indications from every section of the country are that there will not be a respectable minority in favor of the Hanua Gage gold-standard, greenback destroying tinuueial measure. Bradstreet and Dun have to admit that the last week bassliowu a remarkable diminution in trade, but they find an excuse for the fall ing off in the internal trade in the bad weather. As any excuse is better than noue, this will have to pass but this story of these agents of t he trade combination will hardly be taken to accouut for the falling off in all branches of foreign trade as well as the internal. The ex ports of wheat (including flout) fell from 5,026,000 bushels in the last week of January to 3,423,704 bushels iu the first week of Feb ruary, and 861,000 bushels iu Indian corn. An effort is made to show that trade is good by exploit ing the fact that the business iu stcwl rails is good. But the fact remains that there was a heavy falling off, and that the failures weie more numerous, though the amouuts were less, showing that the smaller dealers were being crowded out. The national banks are showing how they will increase circulation by withdrawing from circulation $3,461,463 iu the mouth of Jauuaiy ami 2,167,000 in the fust week of February. United States legal tenders to the amount of 11,241,- 4S3 were paid out of the Treasury iu January. This depletion ol the Treasury continues so far in this month, aud it begins to look like another squeeze is beginning. The legal tenders have to first be gotten out of the Treasury, then the gold is demanded, then conies a bond issue "to preserve the reserve." It would be cruel on the part of the money kings to loice McKin ley, their friend and appointee, to make a bond call before the next congressional election. There is a probability that Mr. McKinley and the Czar of the House may lock horns over the latter's programme for the House. Mr. McKinlev wishes the House to pass a financial bill carrying out some of the recommendations of his message, and Mr. Heed said that the House should not pass a tiuancial bill. If Mr. McKinley doesn't back down, there is likely to be a hot time in the old House. lieptesentative Terry, of Arkan sas, tersely stated a great truth during the little debate in tbe House which accompanied the at tempt by the Democrats to get action upon a bill to compel the administration to bid up to the full indebtedness, principal ami interest, of the Kansas Pacific Railway, when it is sold, when in reply to a tauut from Representa tive Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, that he only wauted to have government ownership of railroads, he said: "We had better have government ownership of railroads than rail road ownership of government." During the same debate Repre sentative Bailey, of Texas, said: "On this side we believe the gov ernment can collect the debt, and as a prudent creditor that it should collect every dollar of it." The Re publicans oppose this legitdation on the ground that the President alieady has Mdlieient power. It i to prevent the abuse of that powei by a settlement'that will not in clude full payment of principal and interest that the Democrats desire the legislation. Czar Reed will soon have another fight on his hands. He has said that no river and harbor bill should be passed by the House at this ses sion, but the committee is going right ahead preparing a bill and by a judicious distribution of ap propriations it is believed that enough votes can be secured to pass the bill regardless of the Czar, and its members say the artempf to do so will certainly be mule.

If they hung low. I have no doubt. Some corporation aas Would legislate to take them down. And light the world with gas. I'm thankful that the shining stars Are far beyond our reach.

The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as 6uch it is not liable to auy form of disease except by one of two ways. The fir6t way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other dis eases. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder trou bles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, aud if not doctored too much is not liable to weak ness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disea.se or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe male weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To hud out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or set tling indicates kidney or bladder trou ble.
