It is qultojthe fashion in North Car olina, when one does not agree with a newspaper in a position which it may assume on public question, to Impute a corrupt motive to it, and The Wilmington Messenger has brought up ome of the calumniators with a round turn. Our Wilmington contemporary, a paper of the highest type, and edit ed by a blameless gentleman, does not think the railroads did wrong In ap pealing to Judge Prltchard or that he did wrong in granting the injunction asked for, whereore citizens of Rocky Jpolntr-Mvherever it is assembled and denounced it as "subsidised" and had its' resolutions published. Upon which uroceeding The Messenger submits these among other emphatic com ments: "We here fleny the chari?e or Insinua tion that this paper Is 'subsided' by any corporation or any person or thnt it ; has taken the position it hiut In the rall- way rate case for reward, or through the hope of reward, and after making Mich positive denial we will consider and denounce any person as an Infamous and malicious liar who repnaU ths crarge or' Insinuation that The Mes- . sr,9r ia a .

The Southern grower would toe In the highly desir able position of receiving a good price for a good crop. A materially small er yield, on the contrary, would be likely to embarrass the world's cotton manufacturing-industry seriously and thereby produce an unfavorable ef fect upon hat prosperity in which the cotton States farmer has ia. large stake -besides high-priced cotton. The present outlook promises best troth for the farmer and the publlo at large. We only hope that it will con tinue unmarred. 1 . ;.; in;..:.- K.ii-uu, f c... '.' -. Co'M-.i-m.S-rt- vt The Ol-s-rvu.

"The situation In North Carolina," declares The Manufacturcrx' Record at the close of a vigorous editorial in spired by Judge rr.ltchard's extreme .. course In the rale cases, "is lut a re flection of deepening feeling ngain-it '.Inclinations more subversive of prin ' lples that mast be defended if Amer ican liberties are to survive than any " theory which Alexander Hamilton ought to further. The case of North Carolina Is, therefore, a case of tho American people. Its settlement by the United Slates Supreme Court will Vlo much to determine what in to m ?? the future nature of Amertcan govern- jnent" Our Baltimore contemporary scarcely overstates the case. North Carolina deserved well of American ' history when she entered a protest which made itself heard throughout the country.

The Charleston News and Courier Is in aome respects a meritorious newspaper 'but as Its friend we de plore its lack of historical knowledge. While we would be proud to claim Marshal Ney for North Carolina, we maft lirst be Just and truthful. In the Interest of historical accuracy it is neceswary to tell this benighted con temporary that the marnhal, though supposed to have been shot to death in France by a detachment of his old command, was really not. killed at all .but was sruagglcd on board u ves sel, landed at Charleston and taught school for several years In South Car olina. Being a man of ttense, he by natural selection discovered after a while that he was in tihe wrong pew, and, seeking intellectual and other more congenial environment, moved to North Carolina, where he taught and died and was buried. But North Carolina has never claimed him. He is Kouih Carolina's. We stand amaied that The News and Courier is so 111 informed. While upon a historical subject we had just ma well Inform our Charleston contemporary, which' d'esn't teem to know anything at all of history hut Is a blind leader of tho blind, and which wently offerm a Ibell to go along with the next celebration of tho Meck lenburg Declaration, that the orlgin4 Liberty Bell was used at tho 'Battle of Alamance to call the Regulators to gether and is now to be seen in the North Carolina historical exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition.

Cormipondent Suggests That Passen gers Hoard Trains With Exact Amount of Mileage, in Cash at the New Rate. To the Editor of The Observer: If Governor Glenn would Issue a proclamation advising the citizens of North Carolina to refrain from buy ing railroad tickets, and instead, to provide themselves, before entering tue trains, with the exact price of their Intended ride, as determined by the State law, there Is little doubt that people, to a considerable extent would follow his advice. Should they do this , the conductors would bo obliged either to accept the fare ten dered or put the passenger oft the train. If they accept the fare, well and gooj, that cn.ls it. If they put the passenger off tho train, the fact would soon become notorious and the Governor could bo officially notified of the deliberate and persistent vio lation of the law by the railroad com pany; tnls would Justify him in de tailing special otllcers to board and remain on the trains und prevent the forcible ejectment of passengers who had tendered tho legal price of the ride desired to bo taken. Moreover, this would confront the rompany with suits for damages, that wouia tc ratner tlncsnrdluudd In tha event of the confirmation of the law ny tna supreme coctirt. X. Y. Z.

Your critic of July 19th taking to task the Salisbury correspondent of the Observer in reporting a certain romantic marriage and a prolonged courts-nip, nwiB io reaa nia Bible a little more closely.

"Alter he had served seven years, whHi the first contract called for, he was given Ijwih instead of Rachel, the one he loved. Hut Ja cob, was game. He served even mon. years and got Rachel."

To be sure. God had unaertaiien to be their commissariat, and sent them rations - frwm the skies. He had Moses go io advance to strike the rock la Horeb, and supply them water la abundance. He had brought them out of Egypt with a high hand and an outstretched arm. He had ihung an iantern in -the sky ' to guide ;, their steps; had sweetened:,, waters,, given them dainty food to eat,, and aieat- ed their enemies.

They probamy looked upon him as a tutelary aeuy, beyond whose Jurisdiction it was pos sible for them to stray, T&ey were very far short of ihe idei of the eplr ituniitv f aod-i Thev coveted a vln ble palladium. They were Jealous al so of Mosee, and showed their spleen in the contemptuous language iaey used 'concerning him. It was a crucial hour In Israel s nis- tnrv and was nrovins Ills. peop,e. The test was severe, but not out of proportion to their ability to enaura it. The days of Moses' absence con tlnued, and ef the intermission of di vine communications. Would faith prevail T Would they be true to the pledge Which they had voluntarily taken when they said: "All that tho Lord hath spoken we will do!" Alasl there was a sudden epiaemu of fear and unbelief, and there was n towering personality to withstand It The black Idolatry of Egypt eclipsed for them the heavenly ngnt oi emai. How Instantaneous and great was their darkness! This was Israel's great lapse, which made others possible and easy. With the Ineffable voice stnj ringing in his ears-r-"Thou shalt not mage unto thee any graven Image" they still required Aaron to make one. If the high priest could show such pusil lanimity as he did, ought we to won der' at the immaturity and perversity of the rank and flic? Charity seems to have suggested that Aaron's compliance was In real ity only feigned to gain time in nopas of Moses return, or that he was aert- ly playing one sinful propensity against another in hopes of checkmating idol atry with cupidity. At best Aaron cuts a poor figure. He might do tor an easy-going benefice, but had no hero or martyr stuff in him. This was the occasion on which tho Israelites in their hearts turned bick to Egypt, as Stephen affirmed. That glittering .image carried in the van would be a substitute for the nre- cloud pillar J arid the Image of Egypt s famed Apis would be an aegi3 under which they might shelter themselves from the wrath of their former taak masters. While the carnival of ldoltry, lust, and drunkenness, was at its height, the towering form of Moses appeared upon the cliff like a Nemesis. WM1 might they fear the wrath of that meek man. All unconscious, perhaps, of the smybolic character of his ae tion, he held the tablets of the law aloft, then dashed them on the rocks below; thus giving for all time th3 strongest possible emphasis to tho phrase "the broken law." He broke both tables, for a law on each was broken one against Image-making, the other against adultery. Even if this had not been the case, the break ing of one precept is the breaking of the whole law, for It is one law. Next he attacked the Image so cost ly and venerated. Not one of .hit Idolatrous, lecherous, drunken mob dared utter a remonstrance, much less lift a hand in opposition. Moses may have taken the granite fragments of the broken tables to pulverize the iool. The next step Is one of retribution. Decimation Is the universal penalty of mutiny. Acting on that common law, Moses sends the Levltes with drawn swords, like an avenging cyclone, through the hordes of naked idolaters Enough pay the capital penalty to open the eyes of the rest to the ex ceeding turpitude of their sin. , Having done what ., mortal hands could to reform the great evil, the mediator of the old covenant hastens Up the granite staircase of Sinai, into Jehovah's presence and there with a patriotic emotion that struggles to ex press Itself In a broken and elliptical sentence, Intercedes in Israel's behalf wltfh an abandon anfl self-oblivion on ly equalled by Paul When he wished himself accursed for his brethren's sake. :: ANALYSIS AND KEY. 1.

A Protestant clergyman Breached at the Russell Street Baptist church of wasnviue, last Sunday and had some very sound and senskble views on the subject of religious and sumptuary legislation, which at this time seem to be needed In saving the churches from running too far amuck Into civil mat ters. The preacher believed In the spirituality of religion and morals and was quite sure that "you can not leg tslate either of these qualities Into men and women." He believes In the utmost freedom of religious Opinion and the absolute disassociatlon of church and State. He drew some strik ing Illustrations from history of the wrecks wrought through civil perse cutions occasioned by religious fan aticism, and he believed that much of the legislation sought to be imposed thes days In directly atagonlstio to one of the fundamental principles of this government, the freedom of the individual to worship according to his conscience and to conform his life to rules he prefers so long as the same do not conflict with sound morals, en danger the peace of society or conflict with the rights of his neighbor. Doctrines of that kind from the pul pit to-day, are refreshing. It has been suspected, not only by the secular, .but the religious press, that something was the matter with the church to day since it does not seem to hold the attractions far people it once did. There have been Various and sundry diagnoses of the condition, few of which have reached further than to indicate symptons. For instance: A St Louis preacher declared that the au tomobile, was depopulating his church. He failed to realize that it was not so much the attractiveness of the auto mobile as it was the lack of attraction spiritual magnetism in his church that gave tha auto the advantage. The St. Louis preacher did not advocate the prohibition of automoblllng on Sunday but it Is Inferred from what he said that Jn the case of his own church such a law would fee the only thing to prevent its being de-populat ed on service days. - And this suggests that possibly the churches are relying too mucn on leg' Islation and not enough on their own vital, convincing and reforming spirit ual energy to keep society straight Men resent laws designed to regulate their habits, to furnish them with no tlons of propriety or to provide thein with a code for the guidance of per sonal conduct. Theg ood old idea of weaning men from their evil ways and winning them by appeals to their higher impulses and their better na ture it will be found is the hetter way after alh Provide laws that will pro tect society and the individual but let every mans personal liberty alone; that can only be regulated rightly by right character. It Is well, during these days when a class of teachers - and preachers have arisen pent on compelling men and women to go to heaven through the agency of human laws : rather through the persuading power of the divine spirit, for sober, sensible men churchmen and others to think of these things, and to reflect whither they lead. . r: y.
