There is never a bargain but that some one, ■ome place, would be especial ly pleased if they thoy only knew of its existence.

WASHINGTON LETTER. Jiy CIIAS. A. EDWARDS. September *ist, 190J The lightning in the Post Office Department investigation is begin ning to strike about in places close to the throne. Beavers, who has given himself up voluntarily after the police seemed unable to get him, has had Postmaster General Payne subpoenaed to appear as a witness in bis case, and the P. M. G. promptly repudiates the sub poena and refuses to apper. He says he is sick, and muit prcforce spend a few weeks down at Vir ginia Hot Springs to recuperate his health. He probably knows too much of the doings of his priv ate Secretary, Mr. 11. 11. Rand, in connection with Beavers and Machen's industry in the grafting game in the Post Oflice Depart _ ... ment, and dees not desire ta be. questioned under oath. In fact,he is doing all in his power to stop the publicity of details of the Post Office Department scandal, and now he gives it out that the end is * in sight and that there will be nothing more d.ing after the first of October. He knows full well that thercf are too many members of Congress and republic-iti leaders mixed up in the matter who must protect the lottcrs, and some ol them too much dread au investi gation to allow the matter to pro ceed further Such a competent machine politician as the P. M. G. knows that the republican party cannot jeccive anymore such hard knocks as it has received by even a small part of the scandal thus exposed to public view,and survive the treatment. How the republi can party leaders are p'aying that something will turn up to distract the minds of the pub'.ic from this ■aaty mess. See how ths Beirut incident was seized upon to tale the minds of the people from the scandals cropping out in the admin istration of the affairs of govern ment Ihe Panama Canal affair is also being used to git the minds of the people from the rottenness of the departments as administered the republican party, but all in Tain. Those little incidents are but the wonder of an hour, and Ike niid. of the people wander back to their muttons, the scaylals Is the Department at Washington. Like Banqaos ghost, they wi.l not dowa, but return with perplexing persistency to plague an adminis tratiou that is rotten to the core The people have a specific for this csacar on the body politic if the> will go to the polls and administei it It is up to them. * • * v The trusts are still in the saddle. The anthracite coal trust is advanc tug the price of ccal again, though It M reported to have mined and Stored some Bullions of t ns more than can be sold this year, and yet this trust has such a monopoly that it caa put up prices v it pleases. The meat trust also iles notice that it hkiiitt ta raise the price of Ito products to A kvel more in ac- cord with the time* acd permissive of the garnering of larger profits. Congress, last winter, when the coal trust was a lire issue, appro priated a special fond of $500,000 for the Department of Justice to use to prosecate trusts. Congress also provided for a number of as sistant Attorneys General to prepare cases T> gainst the trusts. Many months hare elapsed since this money and those attorneys were placed at the disposal of the ad ministration, hut no action has been begun. There is on file with the Attorney General more than one case against trusts, prepared by private enterprise, such as the case against the coal trust prepared by William R. Hearst, and the case against the tobacco trust has been on file for over two years, but it has reposed in a pigeon-hole in the department and even the extra money and the extra help have been unable to drag it into court. There seems to be nothing that can stop this insatible greed of bloated trusts, except business de pression. That with its resultant reduction in the people's purcbas yower, will prove the only effective means to bring prices down again to a reasonable limit, so long as the republican party remains in the saddle. So far as legislatures and courts are concerned, they are, ap parently, unable or unwilling to do anything to protect the con sumers. Anti-trust laws passed by the law-makers are, as a rule, promptly and neatly knocked out by the judges, who seem to be ex ceedingly anxious to protect what they consider the constitutional rights of corporations. Did you ever hear of the constitutional rights of an individual ? Never in your life. Some months ago, news papers were full of statements to the effect that *he Federal Govern ment wouldn't do a thing to the pernicious, rapacious coal trust after Mr. William Randolph Hearst had put it in a hole, soaped the sides and pulled up the lalder. Well, what has been the result? Nothing. The coal trust is still do ing business at the same old ttand and determineed to give prices another boost this winter. Verily, the consumer's is au un happly lot. He pays double prices for the things he needs, and at the same time looks in vain for redress for grievances innumerable. He boasts of constitutions which do not protect him, and of courts which consider it great sport to set at naught laws designed to safe guard the rightj of the people. Ex tortion is the watchword all over this broad land of our. There is none among consumers who can escape I'S arrogance and tyranny, nor.e who can devise means to bring it to an end Oh,prosperity, what sins and unjustie s are com mitted in thy name? And iliese will never stop until the republican party is kicked off the face of the earth, the unholy alliance between that party and the cormorants of the country is pulverized, and the democratic party allowed to np the rocks off the tariff wall that grants special privileges to the favored few. When will the people act ? * . * There is considerable criticism here among demo.rats who visit the national capital anent the methods being used by a man who has long been prominent in demo cratic circles in one of the big eastern states, and who has posed as one of its basses, in his warfare on a most distinguished democrat of his own state. Those methods are c nsidcted to be nothing less than baseless calumny and vicious slander. It is predicted that not only will such methods fail of their purpose, which is to kill off the further men tion of the name of the most dia tingui hed democrat for the demo ciatic presidential nomination, but hat the so called democratic boss will roon find that he has some or.e with whom to deal who is his master, and that he will hear some thing drop that will not have a very pleasing sound to hia ears. A word to the «is - should be suffici ent If I have occassion to refer to th s matter again 1 will call names and give details. —We would like to hive a few suggestions from our readers along the line of improvement.

Fergawa. Presiding* ami C. C. Daateis Solicitor. September term of Martin Su perior Court convened on Monday of this week, His Honor, Garland S. Ferguson presiding. His Hon or's charge to the jury was strong and clear, pointing ont very fully and clearly their duties as grand jurymen, especially emphasizing the importance presenting all casss of carrying concealed weapons, characterizing this growing evil as the fundamental cause of most all of the numerous asault and battery affrays, etc., which are now taking up the greater part of the time of our courts. He referred to the time when men adjusted their gre viauces which could not be other wise settled by a fair fist and skull or hand to hand fight, with no weapons. True manhood spurns the practice of carrying arms con cealed about him and the growing dependencies of men upon them. A true and brave man may not ap proach the npn who injures him to get satisfaction for fear of being shot dewn on the spot by concealed arms on the person of bis adveaary. Before noon, Solicitor C. C.Dan iels called oyer the the criminal docket, and at once the court en tered into the routine of business : 1 Stale vs. Joseph Bennett, as sault with deadly weapon, alias ca pius, and continued. 2 State vs. Louis Creech, as sault and capitis and continued. 3 State vs. James Peel, larceny and receiving, nol pros. 7 State vs. Jim and Sam Horn er, assault with deadly weapon, nol pros. __ 6 State vs. John T.

B. Cromwell, larceny and receiving. Thursday morning the court re sumed the trial of Narcissus Spruiil for poisoning. The jury did not agree and a mistrial was made, and being late iu the term the case was continued until the next term of court. * The sundry cases arising from the Robersonville row last March claimed much of the early part of the week, and in most instances the defendants were lound guilty. There appeared to be much hidden about this affair that could not be uncovered by the evidence brought out in the cases tried and which ought to be made known. In the case of State vs. Richard Yarrell for the larceny of two planks from Mc. O. Wynn, Yarrell was convicted and sentenced to work on Wilson County roads for six months. While the docket has been con jested with petty criminal cases, there have been but very few cases tried worth especial notice. The court has yeen steadily moving on disposing of the numerous trifling cases which filled the docket. The criminal docket has consumed the entire &eek thus far, and it will likely be Friday, noon, before the civil docket is called. The case of Joseph us Williams, the negro boy who burned the store of Anderson, Hassell & Co., was ex|>ected to attract much attention, but this was disposed of in a few minutes, the counsel assigned to defend him having agreed with the prosecuting Attorney to submit hitu iu the arson case for simple house-bnrning, judgment to be sus pended in the other cases against him. The case was soon disposed of and the sentence of the court was that the defendaut serve a term of twenty-five years in the State prison. The case of Moses Rell, colored, for arson—burning the barn of Peter Burnett and others, consum ed considerable time. The jury, however, returned a verdict of not guilty.
