WILJUNUTUA. &J C. 8CTTDAY HoKHoro. Mat CX1TEALIZKD GOVEBJntMT. Secretary of the Treasury, Shaw, ftt the principal speaker at the celebration of the birthday of TJIysaes Grant, bj the Republican uiud ot rmsourg. om mycu- remarkable not only for the freedom with which he spoke but for the radicalism and the jingoism that distinguished it. Coming from man of Senator Bereridge's exuber ant and optimistic temperament it might not hare attracted much attention but from one occupying the position of Secretary of the Treasury and so closely identified with the GoTernment it has at tracted attention not only in this but in other countries. He is, in the language of the street or jingoist "right," an expansionist with a big E, and a flag waver who does not propose to let any of the other fel lows eet away with him. He has "ineritable destiny" down fine, and is mapping out a large-sized job for Uncle Samuel. Referring to the war between the States he said that the right of a State to secede was at least a debata ble one before the war, and was not decided! until Lee's army surren dered. It had been decided by the arbitrament of arms and this coun try was no longer a mere Union of States, but a nation, which relegated State sovereignty as something ob solete. The only thing remarkable in this is the admission that the right of secession was a debatable one, which had neyer been decided until the appeal to arms, which de cided it in favor of the victor. That is the Republican logic; it is not good logic for force cannot settle a question of principle or of right. All it can settle is the physical power of the victor to assert and maintain his position, otherwise the vanquished are always wrong and the victors al ways right, which is preposterous. But the admission as to the debata bleness of the right of secession dis poses, with those who take his view, of the rot about "rebellion,", "trai tors," &c, of which we have heard so much and still hear something in the halls of Congress and out of it. It is somewhat late in the day for admis sions of this kind by representative Republicans, but better late than never.. Referring to the war with Spain, he said: ' j "Disguise it as we will, deny it as we may, the element I of self-interest was a factor in the equation in 1898. We were masters of oar own markets and were reaching out for new ones. Tea, commercialism, if you please, had touched us, and so ft was that our self interest as well as oar unselfishness were appealed to. Then we gave no tice to the world that we proposed to police the street on which we ! lived, and we challenged him who doubted our right to step out into the open." This doesn't harmonize well with the "benevolent assimilation" rot iterated, but it is more creditable because more truthful and! more honest. "Disguise it as we will, "self inter est, commercial expansion and ter ritorial grab were and are the in spiration of the policy which kept our army in the Philippines, after the first object in the movement by Dewey's fleet was accomplished. The rest was after thought suggest ed by greed and commercial ism. We fell upon a prize and swayed by cupidity resorted to fraudulent pre tences to justify holding it although in so doing we discredited our hon esty and ignored our traditions. As the logical result of this departure he said: "The trend of thought and of events baa been toward a stronger central government. If the door set ajar in the spring of 1833 by the unanimous rote of both houses of Congress ever swings wide on its hinges, the United States will police not only the street on which it lives, but the entire West ern hemisphere, and with it all coun tries and all islands washed by the Pacific. I giro not audience to the thought without misgivings, and I mention it only as the logical se quence of the trend of our national development." This is an intimation to the peo ple who at present have govern ments of their own on this hemi sphere as to what they may expect when this Government gets things in good shape and is ready to ab sorb them and plant "old glory" over them; not the first time, how ever, that this has been foreshad owed tor other Republicans hare antedated Mr. Shaw in that hero- scope. But it is interesting, if not suggestive, as coming from a man so closely identified with the present government and its policies. Speaking of the trend towards centralization of power in the Fed eral Government, he said: " "There is now pending in the United States Court a suit begun by a repre -tentative of the executive department Vi wv vujuiu m great cor poration, organized under the laws of certain State, from owning, holding and TOtlng the capital stock, and con- voujmk ywuuj ui iwhud umnspor tailOB companies In a distant portion of " the country.

The trend of events and the trend of , thought eem to be still towards a stronger and more ceniranzea government. ' And here is the grandiloquent spreadesglisni with which he doted this remarkable speech: "Gentlemen, we moat have the larceet merchant fleet ever kissed by ocean breezes, and these earners of international commerce must be built of American material, in American yards by American iabor. They are to .be manned by American sailors, burn American coal, or more prob ably oil. and they are to float the Stars and Stripes. Whether this be ac complished through government aid or by American patriotism and Ameri can capital and American energy I can not say. Whether this consummation shall be contributed to by statesmen or achieved by financiers is imma terial compared with the importance of the thing itself. American wealth, plus Hawaii, which is ours, plus the Philippines, which are ours, plus the Isthmian canal, which we will surely construct, plus a merchant marine, which we will surely build, transfers the sovereignty of the Pacific ocean from the Union Jack to the Stars and Stripes." All this, Mr. Shaw says, is the logical result of the trend of -events, and much of it its centralization, its paternalism, the subordination of principle and precedent to com mercialism and greed are the logi cal result of Republicanism, which has converted this Republic from a union of co-equal sovereign States into a despotism of the majority, whose gauge of right is might, where the power to do justifies the doing. PMTCHARD FZEF0BJI8. Senator Pritchard in his speech on the Philippine bill .Friday con tended that the opponents of that bill should not lug in the atrocities perpetrated by American soldiers, for they had nothing whatever to do with the case and were totally irrele vant, and right on the heels of this assertion he launched out in to a trade on politics in North Carolina, in timidation by red shirts, etc, etc. What did all that have to do with civil government in the Philippines about which Pritchard started to talk. He reminds us of the self-made doctor who wasn't much as a pre scribe! in a general way but had studied up on 'em and was rh 11 on fits." When he had to treat a case that was too much for him he "threw the patient into fits" and then he was at home and knew just what to do. So with the statesman from Madison.' When he tackles a question that is too much for him he takes a whack at North Carolina politics and then he is at home. All he has to do is to draw upon his vocabulary, regardless of facts or logic, and relieve himself. In his remarks Saturday he was neither truthful nor logical. He as serted that "red shirts" rode all over the State to intimidate, voters, which is not true. Outside of a few counties in the State, bordering on South Carolina (from which we usually have large delegations of imported negro voters), there wasn't a red shirt organization in the State, and Pritchard knows it. If they ever intimidated anybody it was the shirt that did it and not the wearers, for, as Senator Sim mons asserted, there was no record of these organizations hav ing ever committed or been charged with any outrage. The "sand cure," which Pritch ard invented and aired on this oc casion,, was illogical and idiotic, for even if true, if the man he refers to had been taken from his house, his face held in the sand (that's what he calls the "sand cure") and beaten to make him vote the Dem ocratic ticket, that was but one case, and one of the funda mental rules in logic is that you cannot argue from particulars to generals. That's what he did and tried to make it appear that the case of this man (if true) was common and the "sand cure" one of the methods of intimi dation pursued by the Democrats. He couldn't point to another simi lar case to save his life nor could he assert on his veracity as a man that the "sand cure" was administered to this man to "make him vote the Democratic ticket." The man might have said that, but then he might have been stealing somebody's chickens or committing some other devilment. It is not an uncommon thing amongst those who are sum marily dealt with for particular or general cussedness in election times to play the role of political martyrs. And these are the kind of fellows that statesmen of Pritchard's build and calibre try to make capital out of. .

There have; recently been strikes in some of the mills South of us, concerning which we quote the following dispatch from Columbia, under date of the lstinsL, in support of the position we have taken: "Prospects for the settlement of the strike and lockout affecting cotton mills in Horse Creek Valley, 8. C, and Angusta, Ga., are much better to night than at any time since the trou ble began. The national organization has failed to keep its promise to aid the strike to the extent of $2 per week. It has given $500 instead of $9,000 so far due. Commissaries have been opened and the striken are being given some provisions. The single operatives who are borg are kicking. A meeting of mill men officials and a committee from the operatives is in session and a settlement is hoped for to-morrow. We do not know what the griev ances of these strikers were or what thegrounds for the lockout were,but this doesn't matter. These strikers were encouraged to strike by prom ises of support from the National organization,- which promises were not kept and as a result the strikers, who could not holdout, were forced to succumb and probably lost instead of gained by the strike. They certainly lost the time they were idle and that amounted to something to those people, who were dependent upon their daily earnings. If it had not been for the encouragement given them by the National organi sation and the promises of support the differences with their employers would, no doubt, have been ami cably arranged and there would have been no strike, no hard feelings .and no loss of time. This should be a lesson to our Southern mill workers to keep aloof from entangling al liances. CURRENT COMMENT.

Atlanta Constitution, Dent. Now, really, who captured Agulnaldo? Funstondid the work, of course, bnt Mac Arthur declares he made the plans and is responsi ble for the whole thing. In view of the precedent of the Santiago affair, where Schley did the work and Sampson got the glory and the prize money, it looks as though the claims of Fnnston ought to be turn ed down and the credit given to the man who wasn't there. Savannah News, Dent. Gen. Mac Arthur is a grim humorist. In his statement before the Philippine Committee on Wed nesday, as reported, he expressed the opinion that the presence of the United States in the Philippines is "an unmitigated benefaction to the Filipino people." The presence of Spain there, he probably regards as .having been a mitigated benefac tion.

Wool, is selling in Utah at a shade leas than 13 cents average per pound. The big woolen mill at Provo, Utah, bought 300,000 pounds at 13.85 cents a pound, on April 14.

The basilisk was the most famous of the many fabulous monsters of me diaeval folklore, j According to the popular notion, it was hatched by a toad from an egg laid by the cock of the common barnyard fowl. In the an cient picture books It was- usually rep resented as an eight limbed serpent or dragon, sometimes with and sometimes without wings. Its name is derived from basiliscos, meaning a little king, and was applied because the creature was figured with a circle of white spots on its head which much resem bled a crown. The cockatrice, a species of basilisk, besides having a crown possessed a comb! which was an exact counterpart of th cock's. Pliny assures us that the basilisk had a voice which "struck terror to the hearts of men, bleasts and serpen ts." The Bible classes) it with the lion, the serpent and the dragon as one of the most formidable creatures. Old writers, Pliny, Bascho and others, say that its bite was mortal in every case, that Its breath was suffocating and that no plant would grpwj In the vicinity of Its lair. Its dead body was often used, suspended in belfries, to prevent swal lows from building there. i The Iaveator of Stoves.

Ad how many people in Phila delphia or elsewhere in the United States know thit we arc; indebted largely to Franklin for the stoves which a century ago began' to replace the fireplaces and more crude arrange ments for grates jwarming our bouses? The Franklin stove, which in its days Of early development was merely a por table iron fireplace, with open front, in which wood wad burned to heat an apartment, was given its name because It was invented by Benjapjin; Franklin and was really the connecting link be tween the rude fireplaces of the last century and the stoves of today.

The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 2 to 11 points in response to surpris ingly weak Liverpool cables and favorable crop news. The first wave of selling forced May to 9.23. July to 9.20 and August to 9.05. Then came a rally of five points on profit-taking by room shorts to 9.25 for July, but substantial new buying did not ap pear and for the rest of the early ses sion the market was very feverish and irregular. Large port receipts and rumors that continued short time was likely at Lancashire mills had a depressing effect. Liver pool was due to come about unchang ed, but broke three to four points on near months and one to two points on late months. Spot cotton was quiet and down 1-16, to 5 1-I6d for Ameri can middling. Liquidation and ur gent bear pressure were given as the cause for weakness in the English market. Nmw York, May 3.
