OUR TOBACCO MARKET.
Every citizen of Guilford county
ahould feel a pardonable pride in
theGreensboro tobacco market, for
its success means much to all class
es. Within the past" few years
the market has been - materially
strengthened, find it is to day in a
better condition than ever before.
While we have not as many ware
houses as some other markets, and
do not sell as many pounds of the
weed annually as some of the larger
markets, the prices obtained will
compare favorably with any market
in the country. Then, too, our
market is recognized by tobacco
growers as being the steadiest
market in the state. There is less
fluctuation in prices than on other
markets, and this is a decided ad
vantage. We believe the farmers
who have patronized the Greens
boro market from year to year will
bear us out in this statement. The
reason for this condition is to be
found in the fact that our ware
houses are conducted in an eco
nomical manner by gentlemen who
thoroughly understand their busi
ness and our market is supplied
with a large number of buyers who
have orders for every pound of to
bacco they can get.
Nor has the blighting shadow of
a warehouse trust ever fallen across
the Greensboro tobacco market. It
is true i that" the effects of the
nefarious tobacco trust are felt
here, as they are on every market
in the world, but the warehouses
are free and independent, offering
the farmers what immunity there
is from the wicked combination.
Recently we saw1 the statement in
a Danville paper that the reported
formation of a tobacco warehouse
combine in that city was having
its effect in a falling off of the
amount of leaf tobacco finding its
way to that market. There is .no
doubt as to the feeling of the
farmers in regard to this subject,
and the great bulk of them do not
propose to patronize trusts when
they can help themselves. Much
of the tobacco that has heretofore
been going to Danville will doubt
Jess hereafter be sold on other
markets. While we sympathize
with the businoss men ef Danville
who have been made victims of the
true Vwe confidently expect to see
the sales on the Greensboro market
increase thereby. The fact that
our tobacconists are live, pushing
men who have never attempted to
enter or form any combination, and
in consideration of the further fact
that a ready sale at the very high
est market prices awaits all the
tobacco that may come this way,
should result . in our warehouse
floors being filled with the weed
during this fall and winter.
states through which they would
oass. It would naturally be con
strued as an evidence of the sym
pathy, with the imperialist policy
of the administration, and would
be so maintained by all the Repub
lican stump speakers. - The Ad
miral would find it very difficult,
in view of the tremendous calls
which would be made upon him, to
avoid making some remarks, and,
of course, being one of the Presi
dent's party, he would not say any
thing in opposition to the Presi
dent's policy. However, there is
one phase of the subject which
these ardent party men seem to
have overlooked, and that is this:
Among the people there might be
more enthusiasm for Dewey than
for McKinley; the subordinate
might dwarf the chief. In this
event the effect on the personal
fortunes of the President would be
entirely different from the antici
pations of his supporters.
. The three-cornered gubernator
ial fight now being so bitterly waged
in Kentucky is attracting the at
tention of the entire nation. Wik
Ham Goebel, the regular nominee
of the Democratic party for gov
ernor, is making the fight of his
life. In addition to the opposition
of the Republicans, he is opposed
by the independent Democratic
ticket, the Populists and Prohi
bitionists, a large proportion of the
ministers of the gospel, and the
bulk of the corporations. Despite
this formidable array of opponents,
representing all sorts and condi
tions of men, Goebel faces the sit
uation with confidence, and his fol
lowers declare that he will be elect
ed governor of Kentucky as surely
as the election is held. We hope
to see the regular Democratic ticket
win out in this fight, for its defeat
would probably mean the loss of
Kentucky to the Democracy in next
year's presidential election. The
responsibility for such a condition
would rest upon the bolting Demo
crats, who have set themselves
above their party in point of wisdom.
A DISCOURAGING report in regard
to the condition of affairs in the
Philippines comes by way of Lon
don. The information conveyed
is to the effect that the American
forces are making no practical pro
gress; that Aguinaldo is getting
the best of the situation, and that
he has regained any influence over
the natives he may have lost. Re
cently he has obtained a large sum
of money with which he is en
deavoring to foment disturbances
in Manila. Aguinaldo offers double
the amount of the rewards for
American rifles and arms that Gen
eral Otis offers for Filipino wea
pons. The result is that the Amer
icans get none of the latter. In
the meantime "Grandma" Otis is
active in his assurance to the
American people that the Filipino
insurrection grows weaker day by

It is remarkable to what ends
some men will resort in their de
sire to aid a cause in which they
are interested. For instance, some
of the Ohio Republican managers
have devised a very pretty scheme
to help party prospects in that and
other western states. Their plan
is to induce Admiral Dewey to ac
company President McKinley on
the tour he is scheduled to make
through the west during the pres
ent month. They are of the opin
ion that the jnere presence of the
hero of Manila with the presiden
tial party would be beneficial to
1 T" 1 1 I
me ifcepuDiicau cause in tnose
day.
Mark Hanna recently said that
"no state had more drastic laws on
trusts than Ohio." But of what
benefit are laws against trusts when
officials are not-allowed to enforce
them? The case of the Republican
attorney-general of Ohio, who was
shelved by his party for attempt
ing to perform his duty in this mat
ter, is fresh in the minds of the
people.
True to his past record, Senator
Marion Butler will oppose the best
interests of the state by I joining
hands with Senator Pritchard in
the fight against the constitutional
amendment. Butler can always be
expected to get on the wrong side
of every question that comes up ;
it's one of his Populistio habits.
Secretary Root has announced
bis intention to make promotions
in the volunteer regiments from
among the officers and unlisted
men in these organizations. This
plan will deprive politicians of
considerable patronage.
Gen. Alejandrino, representing
Aguinaldo, held a fruitless confer
ence with General Otis at Manila
yesterday in an effort to obtain
peace. .. .
The Filipinos have returned to
General Otis 14 enlisted soldiers,
whom they had held as prisoners.
Lots of Trouble Ahead if . the rTe-
braskan Stumps Kentucky.
Western politics of the Demo
cratic stripe has been split in
twain by a row between ex-Governor
John P. Altgeld and William
J. Bryan that may cause the Illi
nois leader to fight Bryan in his
race for the Democratic nomina
tion for president. '
When Mr. Altgeld heard that
Bryan had decided to come to Ken
tucky and take the stump for Goe
bel, the regular Democratic candi
date for governor, he sent Bryan a
letter that is said to be of the to
basco variety. In it he took Bryan
to task for declaring himself so
strongly for party regulations and
against bolters, although Bryan
had himself been a bolter, and had
upheld bolting on the part of other
Democrats in 1896.
r Senator Blackburn has also
written Bryan, imploring him not
top come to "Kentucky, for if he
does the bolting Democrats threat
en! to' elect a Republican legisla
ture, which insures Blackburn's
defeat for senator. s
Relations are strained to the
breaking point between Bryan and
Altgeld, and a letter from the lat
ter denouncing Bryan may be ex
pected the day Bryan appears in
Kentucky. -
In the letter which Altgeld ad
mits that he wrote to Bryan he
quotes from the latter's own words
in his history of the campaign of
1806, entitled "The First Battle."
Among other expressions which
the ex-governor of Illinois flings
back into Bryan's teeth are these,
uttered by the latter at the Ne
braska Democratic convention of
1893, in protest against that gold
controlled body urging the uncon
ditional repeal of the Sherman act:
"Gentlemen, I know not what
others may do, but duty to my
country is above duty to my party,
and if you represent your constitu
ents in what you have done and
will do if you as delegates prop
erly represent the sentiment of the
Democratic party which sent you
here; if the resolutions which you
have proposed and which you will
adopt represent the sentiment of
this state; if the party declares in
favor of a gold standard, as you
will do if you pass this resolution;
if you declare in favor of the im
poverishment of the people of Ne
braska; if you intend to make
more galling than the slavery of
the blacks the slavery of the debt
ors of this country; if the Demo
cratic party, after you go home in
dorses your action and makes your
position its permanent policy, I
promise you I will go out and serve
my country and my God under
some other-name, even if I must
go alone."
f In another part of the speech he
declared that he would find more
tfue joy in exile than would be the
lot of the delegates who were out
voting, him and his friends. He
did not go out, and in 1896 he
came to Chicago at the head of a
contesting delegation f rom Nebras
ka and was seated in the conven
tion, the "regulars" being relegated
to the galleries.
In an editorial article which Mr.
Bryan wrote for The Omaha World
Herald in February, 1896, Mr. Alt
geld quotes Bryan as having ad
vised .a bolt from the nomination
of a gold Democrat for president,
in case the latter should be named
by the Chicago convention, thus:
j "The World-Herald holds that
the individual member of a party
at all times reserves the right to
vote against the nominee of a party
and to abandon his party entirely
whenever in his judgment hits duty
to his country requires it. He may
abandon the party temporarily, as
for instance, when an unfit candi
date is nominated.
When is a man justified in aban
doning his party? Obviously,
when he satisfies himself that some
other party is a better means
through which to serve his coun
try." Louisville, Ky., Dispatch to
The Philadelphia . Record.
AN EFFORT FOR PEACE.
Mr. Montague, while consul general
for the South African republic, j in
London, informed the Associated Press
that a representative of cnej of the
largest capitalists of the Raad had
called upon him this morning and as
serted that it was known in capitalists
circles that Lord Salisbury had determ
ined that there should be no war, and
had instructed the Secretary of State
for the Colonies7Mr. Cbamberlain,Ho

ances with regard to the Fritish desire
to respect the complete Independence
of the Transvaal. No confirmation of
this is obtainable in official circles, j
According to a dispatch ; from Lou
renzo Marques, Portuguese Africa, a
crowd of Boers who were assembled at
the Machadort station, . forced the
refuge passengers to uncover their
heads during the singing, of a Boer
national air, and severely maltreated
several Englishmen, stabbing one,
kicking another and trampling upon
others. It is reported there, also, that
two ladies were outrageously assaulted
at Paardekop station by Boers, one
being struck in the. face by a rifle
shoved through the railroad carriage
window, and the other was struck by
her assailant's fist.
The war office, it is reported, has re
ceived offers from thousands of officers
and men of the army for service in
the Transvaal. - 1
