WLLM1NGTOJSI. fi. C. Satubday Momsmro. Mat 1?. TEAT DIDST DO IT. The Bepublican platform builders hare usually shown considerable cunning in constructing platforms to fool voters, platforms which they entirely forgot after they had answered their purpose. We quote the following plank from the plat form of 1900 as an illustration: "We condemn all conspiracies and combinations intended to business, to create monopolies, to limit production, or to control prices, and faror such legislation as will effectually restrain and pre Tent ail each abuses, protect and promote com petition, and secure the rights of pro ducers, laborers, and all who are en gaged in industry and commerce. That is pretty good anti-trust stuff and doubtless it had created the impression upon many Toters that the men who framed it and the party which stood upon that plat form would strike at any trust or combination or conspiracy in re straint of trade that might bob up. Some of the organs are lauding President Roosevelt for "keeping that plank in mind." It has been suggested that this plank was in serted as a Bort of supplement to the Sherman law of ten years before, which was considered a practically dead letter because it was never en forced. Therefore this plank was tacked on to the platform to make people believe that the framers of that platform and the party they were speaking for had waked up to the fact . that combines needed watching and curbing and that they proposed to do that thing if the Republican party was successful at the polls. It is somewhat remarkable in view of the fact that they thought it nec essary to tack on such a plank as an answer to the Democratic denuncia tions of trusts, that such distinguish ed party men and leaders as Mark Hanna and Chauncey M. Depew strenuously denied that their were any trusts, the monopolistic combines known as trusts being simply "ag gregations of wealth" for beneficent purposes, and that instead of being objects of condemnation they were blessings to the country and should be welcomed and cherished. That is about the view the Republican statesmen generally took of it, after the party got in, for that plank was never heard of, and it never occurred to any Republican in Congress that there was anything in the jurisdic tion of the United States to which that plank would apply. They didn't propose to give themselves any con cern about a plank that had accom plished its purpose and for which they had no further use. When President Roosevelt called the attention of his Attorney Gen eral to the Beef Trust that plank wasn't anywhere in the range of his mental vision. It wasn't in it, but they resurrected the Sherman law which was supposed to be defunct and which the Attorney General who preceded Mr. Knox virtually said was defunct when he gave as a reason for not enforcing it that it was inoperative and that trusts would have to be proceeded against under State laws as they were oper ating under State charters. But this does not seem to be the opinion of Attorney General Knox who is proceeding against the Beef Trust under the Sherman law. And the Beef Trust is responsible for it alL It has been doing a trust business, with trust methods for ten years. It was investigated ten years ago by a Senate committee which reported enough to warrant proceed ing against it then under the Sher man law, as Mr. Knox is now doing, and he says he can bring this Trust to taw with this law. Yet, three years ago the Republican party leaders assured the people that they wouldn't tolerate any combines of the trust genus but would "take pleasure" (in the language of that distinguished St. Louis Republican organ, the Globe-Democrat,) in at tacking them when they showed "pernicious activity." Between 1890 and 1900 there were three movements against trusts and not one of them ever amounted to anything. Assuming that the Re publican leaders were honest in their condemnation of trusts and that the Sherman act was meant for busi ness, Attorney General! Monnett, of Ohio, with -more honest zeal than discretion, proceeded against the Standard Oil Trust, and after a pro tracted tilt found the Standard Oil Trust in and himself out. The Trust relegated him by having him defeated for a renomination, which laid him on the shelf. In all these years when was there ever a move by a Republican in Congress to crush or restrain a trust? Over three years ago the newspa per and other publishers of this countryj in various meetings, passed resolutions urging Congress to re lieve them from the extortions of the Paper Trust by repealing the duty ton wood pulp,t other paper making material and upon printing paper. Was that done? Was there ever a movement in that direction by a Republican representative? Several bOla for that purpose were offered, the first oi which was by Mr.BeUamy, of this diiWoVlmt they.migb.tas wen have been thrown Into the fire. They are still in the dark holes into which they were stuck-bj orders of that committee. After such a record it is folly or sheer audacity to talk about the 'President keeping in mind the anti-trust plank of 1900, or about the Republican party "taking pleas ure in attacking pernicious trusts. There is another and better way to account for the aggressive position taken against the Beef Trust by President Roosevelt and his Attor ney General. The Trust provoked the fight by greedily putting up tne prices of meats until they so ar- roused popular sentiment that tne politicians began to become alarmed, at what looked like an impending revolution which might destroy the Republican party, and to avert it, and also to prevent the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt, who is a .candi date for re-election, they resolved to jump upon the Beef Trust as a matter of political necessity, not oi choice. This is what accounts for their "keeping in mind" that anti trust plank of 1900. WHAT WE SOUGHT. In his discussion of the Philip pine question, Thursday, Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi, presented some points in a new light, al though the points were -not new, -and in doing so he drew an lm portant admission from Senator Spooner, one of the champions of kill and burn "benevolent assimila tion." Senator McLaurin contend ed that we had no right to buy the Philippines at the; time we did, for they were in dispute, the title de pending on the result of that dis pute. Spain's grip upon the islands was almost broken when the Amer icans appeared upon the scene. Her sovereignty was not only disputed but defied, and absolutely amount ed to nothing when this Govern ment stepped in, and in spite of the protests of the Filipinos, who claimed sovereignty, made a deal by which it! acquired only the rights that Spain then had that was the right to fight to establish a disputed claim; in other words, we bought a disputed title, which must be estab lished either by continuing Spain's war or by the acquiescence of the Filipinos, which was not obtained. The only right we had acquired, he declared, was the right of "criminal aggression." Senator Spooner interrupted him to say that we had acquired a per fect title by the treaty of Paris, and added, with a buncombe flourish, that we had a right "to whip troops that attacked our forces anywhere under God's heaven!" -But after as serting that we acquired a perfect title by the treaty of Paris, he ad mitted that our title was not perfect on the 4th of February, 1899, when the trouble with the Filipinos began. This is an important admission. If our title waa not perfect then, when did it become perfect ? It has never been ratified by the people of the Philippines, and until it is it will be never be perfect. Until it is we sim ply hold possession by force, and stand in the position of criminal ag gressors. i i PR0TXCT OTJS. BIRDS. Bird lovers will be interested in the fact that an Audubon Society was organized in this State last March, the purpose of which is the "protection and study of birds.'' Its headquarters are at Greensborot where its officers are already doing valuable work by sending out book lets on the habits of birds, what they feed on, the service they render as insect-destroyers, Ac, most of which will be news to and surprise persons who have not made birds a study. In one of the booklets, written by T. Gilbert Pearson, Vice President, it is stated that there are in North Car olina 312 species of birds, every one of which performs some important office as the friend of man, and 300 of these species are not protected in any way, savein a few counties, which have shown interest enough to throw the protection of the law around some of them. The game birds only seem to be worthy of pro tection in the estimation of law makers. . The game birds ought to be pro tected, much better than they are, and so should all birds, for in pro tecting them we are protecting our selves. Even with all the protection law and public sentiment can throw around them they will diminish in number too rapidly, for as the cutting down of our forests goes on the birds will disappear proportionately with them, and for this reason, if for no other, we should i protect themJ ! This Society ought to j be or ganised in every county in the State,! and open a campaign of edu cation to teach the young and the old the value of the birds which are now so ruthlessly and indiscrimi nately destroyed by thoughtless boys and by older people, who ought to have more sense, simply for pastime. We 'have no doubt the Secretary of the Society, Miss Annie F. Petty, or Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, Vice President, will take pleasure in fur nishing any desired information as to the purposes and plans of the So ciety, which shoulcUhave the hearty support of every thoughtful person in the State.: . . ; I Por Wnoopinr?

We have heretofore made mention of the Regimental Histories of the Wr of 1861-1865, in which the troops from this State took; suoh conspicuous and immortal j part. A note from our State Librarian, Mr. M. 0. Sherrill, informs ub that these volumes, five in number, are now complete, and that they will be furnished for $5, or for $1 a volume, the purchaser paying postage or ex press charges. Express charges within the State, 25 cents on a single volume, postage anywhere in the United States 34 cents. There are in these volumes over 1,000 engravings of officers and pri vate soldiers, including all of the 35 Generals from North Carolina, 32 full-page engravings of battles and 32 maps. It is a comprehensive his tory of the part taken by our troops in that war as told by participants in the stirring scenes narrated. j Such a work is invaluable, and is fur nished at cost by the State, at whose expense it has been published, the editing having been done gratuitous ly by gentlemen who patriotically gave their services. Colonial and State Records will also be furnished for $3 a volume, by sending order and money: to M. O. Sherril), State Librarian, Raleigh, N C. . Jim Weaver, of Tennessee, who served in the Confederate army and was wounded, afterwards deserted and served in the Federal army, thought he would utilize his wound and apply for a pension on it. But it didn't pan out as well as some of the other frauds, for they caught on to it, prosecuted and fined him $1,000, which was reduced to $100. He is out of the pension business now. Hawaii hasn't any snakes, but snake on the brain is beginning to trouble the natives. Soldiers com ing from the Philippines bring pet snakes with them, and it is feared that'some of them might get away and go into the snake business there. Governor Dole has therefore asked the President to prohibit sol diers coming to Hawaii from toting snakes. I It requires 6,300,000 cords of wood to make the pulp for paper manufactured in this country. About one-third of this wood is im ported from Canada, yet there is a tariff duty on it, which looks like folly to say the least of it when this country cannot supply wood enough for the consumption of the mills. CURRENT COMMENT. A witness said before the Senate committee that General Smith's order frightened the Filipi nos. We can well imagine that the avowal of an amiable purpose to kill everybody over ten years of age was not exactly reassuring to the in habitants. Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, Dertu j The G. O. P. evidently con siders it an easier proposition to tinker with the tariff. The Butte (Mont.) Inter Ocean objects to the tariff on hides, but it reasons: "The country had better submit to its ex actions than that congress should commence to tinker with the tariff." Evidently the tariff is a loaded pro position. Memphis News, Dem. It is gratifying to observe that thus far but one croaking voice of bigotry has been raised to pro claim that the awful catastrophe of Martinique was a judgment of Provi dence for the sins of its inhabi tants. There was evidently some want of providence in planting a city at the base of an active volcano. Philadelphia Record, Dem. - The "Beef Trust" undoubt edly violates the common law when the firms composing it refuse to sell an article of food to a retailer, "blacklisting" him. If District At torney Weaver brings the subject before the Grand Jury he will be taking a step the protection of pri vate rights remands. The common law is enough to deal with trusts, if it is enforced. Philadelphia Press, Sep. ! QUARTERLY MEETINGS. Wilmington District Second Round.

Mr. Cody shot the mam moth bird on the wing, while it ,iraa carrying off a fat, two months-old lamb.

The barn contained over 7.000 pounds of fodder and a quantity of other rough feed all that Mrs. Dunlap bad which was also a total toss. The burned building, which stood off to itself, was the only one oa j the premises which was not insured. According to the tax books there are 1,547 white polls in Anson land 1,811 colored polls. Of whites 1,333 paid their poll tax, while only! 879 negroes did likewise. It is estimated that after errors and removals from the county are deducted, there will remain not more than 125 white men in the county who have disfranchised themselves by failing to pay poll tax. Of this number probably not more than 50 are reliable Democrats. Many of the negroes who failed to pay poll tax can read and write and could have voted had tbey attended to that mat ter.

The: first wave of selling did not subside until July had dropped to a 88 and August to 8.58. Then came a quick - shift to the bull side by room traders on talk of very large exports, estimates for light re ceipts to-morrow, bullish predictions for the week end statement and claims that too much rain had fallen in some portions of the western belt. July stif fened to 8,98 and August to 8.69, For a time the market had every appear ance of doing still better, though out side , support came forward slowly. Qnce more Wall street selling became a dominating intuenee and prices quickly lost the entire advance.
