In writing a few days ago on the
question of getting rid of the friars
in the Philippines, we expressed the
opinion that if a peremptory de
mand were made for their with
drawal and insisted upon it wonld
probably pat an end to the nego
tiations for the purchase of the
400,000 acres of land which the
friars own. This Government did
not care for the land, but proposed
to purchase it to get rid of the
friars, and the main reason, as we
avocations will be gone, and they
may find more congenial fields of
activity, or of sequestration, as the
case may be, i-i somo other direction
but they can't be forced out, for this
Governments pledged to their pro
tection, and the only justification
for a violation of that pledge would
be some act by the friars, the result
of which- would be a forfeiture of
that pledged protection. This Is
just the predicament in which this
Government finds itself when tack
ling the friar question, which has
turned out to be a more perplexing
one than was anticipated.

SPLITS TURPENTINE.'
ACTS VEESUS PROFESSIONS.
It is a customarv trick with the
- -
Republican politicians of this State,
and one that machine manager
Pritchard very frequently plays, to
pose as the special . friends of the
poor man, champions of popular
see it,, for desiring to get rid of them I education, friends of the old soldier,
not to placate the Filipinos, I etc., and on these grounds appeal
said to dislike them, but I to popular support. But facts speak
was
who are
because they were supposed to be
unfriendly to this country and more
loyal to Spain than they are to the
United States, which supposition is
probably well founded. Governor
Taft made the withdrawal of the
friars a condition to the purchase of
their lands, on the assumption, per
haps, that the Vatican had the
power to arbitrarily order them to
vacate, which assumption seems to
have been unfounded, even if the
Vatican was disposed to co-operate
with Governor Taft in his efforts to
get rid of the friars, which it was
not.
Unfortunately for the success of
this scheme Governor Taft had put
himself in the attitude of a partisan
against and an enemy of the friars
before he went on his mission to
Rome, and consequently he went
handicapped by his own record. The
cardinals who were assigned to the
the task of negotiating with him,
were familiar with" this record as
published, and knew more about the
friars than he did and knew the
Paris treaty and the clauses in that
document which put a limitation
upon the powers of this Govern
ment, and therefore they took am
ple time to consider his propositions
and demands, and ample time to
answer tbem, and when they did an
swer them it was to the effect that
the Vatican felt that it could not act
hastily in a matter of such grave im
portance and that final action should
not be taken against the friars with
out their having an opportunity to
be heard in their own behslf and
something to say about putting a
valuation upon the property of
which it was proposed to dispossess
them.
As a sort of compromise, hbw
ever, so as not to make Governor
Taft feel as if effort his had been
a total failure, the request was as
sented to that the Vatican instruct
the friars to devote themselves
strictly to their clerical and parochial
duties and let civil and political mat
ters alone. This seems to be the
fruitage of Governor Taft's visit to
Rome, whither he went fully de
termined to get those objectionable
friars out of the Philippines. He
found he could not do it, and then
compromised by securing assent to
something which wonld probably
have been assented to two years ago
if the simple request had been made
through this Government.
Charges of oppression, disloyalty to
the Philippines and loyalty to Spain,
of being spies, informers, prosecu
tors and frequently judges to con
demn the accused, with being im
moral, etc, had been made against
the friars, and believed by Governor
Taft. Some of these charges were
probably true, while some of them
were doubtless false, but Governor
Taftrmade them the ground of his
opposition to the friars, and his out
spoken dislike for them.
He puts his desire for their, with
drawal on the ground that they are
much abhorred by the Filipinos,
and that letting them remain in
possession of their holdings would
cause endless trouble and imperil
the public peace. There is no ques
tion that some of the Filipinos hear
tily hate the friars, and that if they
had the power they would confis
cate every foot of land they own,
and drive them from the islands,
but there is no proof that this enmi
ty is general. But whether it is or
not, or whether it is well founded or
not, or without taking into account
the advisability or inadvisability of
forcing the friars out, when Govern
or Taft giving a reason for his
anxiety for their withdrawal says
their presence is odious and an im
periller of the peace does he not con
cede that this Government is mak
ing through him a confession of
weakness in not being able to
preserve the public peace, when
it. ciaima w nave conquered peace,
with some 9,000,000 or 10,000,000
of people arrayed on the other side?
This is a mere pretence to justify a
move which was begun without hav
ing fully considered the treaty with
Spain, which move was blocked by
that treaty, and made a failure. The
failure of the negotiations at Rome
and the transfer of future proceed
ing to a later date and at Manila, is
virtually a confession of inability to
squeeze the friars out as proposed
by Governor Taft, seconded by the
President and Secretary Root, all of
whom made the mistake of failing
to aicertain how far they could go
before they started.
Borne of the friars will doubtless
go of their own accord, because their
stronger and more eloquently than
professions. Some of these were
forcibly presented in the speech of
Senator Simmons at the Democratic
Convention in Greensboro, Wednes
day, facts showing what the Demo
cratic party has done, in contrast
with the airy professions of the Re
publicans and what they did when
in power. In speaking of what the
Democratic administration which
succeeded the Republican-Populist
combine, has done for the deaf,
dumb and blind, for the insane, for
the ex-Confederate pensioners and
for the education of the State's
boys and girls, he said:
la addition to the duty of enacting
wise and just laws for the protection
or lire, liberty and property, tbe State
owes to society and civilization three
paramount duties, which the Demo
cratic party is pledged to discharge to
the fullest extent of the ability of a
generous, humane and patriotic peo
ple. We owe to the children of the
State the duty of giving them an op
esrtunity to acquire an education,
his the constitution requires and the
Democratic party has promised. This
year, for the first time in the history
of the State, we have reached the con
stitutional requirement and have given
to each common school district in the
State a four months' term. There
most be no falling off or turning back
in this matter.
The State owes a high duty to God's
unfortunates those upon whom the
hand of affliction has been heavily laid ;
the insane, the deaf, the dumb, the
blind, and the helpless poor. No
people need expect the blessings of
Providence who neglect to minister to
the needs of these unhappy ones. It is
a reproach to the State, and it will con
tinue to be a reproach to the State as
long as one of these has to be housed
or confined in a place set apart for the
criminals.
Last, but not least, we owe idaW, a
sweet and loving duty, to the broken
remnant of that immortal band who,at
their country's call, risked their lire
in defence of a cause and a principle
which they believed and which we be
lieved to be right. Greater love hath
no man than this, that he give his life
for his friends. He who goes to war
for his country, risks his life for his
fellow man. . As long as one of these
old heroes lives, it will be the duty of
the State to see that he suffers no want
he cannot himself reasonably supply.
These are duties imposed upon us by
civilization, by Christianity, and by
patriotism.
The Democratic Legislature of 1899
and 1901 appropriated for these three
great objects, education, charity and
pensions to Confederate soldiers
something over a million dollars more
than the two fusion Legislatures ap
propriated for those purposes, and at
the end of the present fiscal year the
Democratic party will have spent for
these three great objects something
more than a million dollars more than
the f osionists spent for these purposes
during the four years they were in

Th Great Tower of Sfty and
Rock of Health In the
Hot Weather.
I Nervous diseases when aggravated
by mental disturbances produce more
causes of insanity in the hot weather
than at any other season of the year.
Nervous headache, nervous dyspepsia,
sleeplessness and chronic constipation
induce depression of spirits, extreme
weakness, morbid fears, despondency
and langour; from these, dread in
sanity comes slowly but surely.
Nervous sufferers have a dread of
hot weather. Finding themselves
deeper in the pit of misery than they
were in the spring and early summer,
they are in utter despair.
There is hope for you, dear reader,

THE STEEL TRUST.
There has been a great deal of talk
about the U. S. Steel Trust and its
immense capital, but very little was
known outside of the Trust man
agement as to what the properties
are and the value of these proper
ties controlled by the Trust. This
information was given out a few
days ago in a sworn statement by
President Charles M. Schwab before
a New Jersey court. The aggre
gate value of these properties, ac
cording to his statement, is $1,400,-
291,000, divided as follows:
Iron and Bessemer ore -properties
, . . . $700,000,000
Plants,mill,flxtures and
real estate $200,000,000
Coal and coke fields
(87,589 acres) $109,000,000
Transportation proper
ties, including rail
roads (1,467 miles),
terminals, i docks,
ships (112), equipment
(23.185 cars), and 438
locomotives)
Blast furnaces

Limestone properties. . .
Cash and cash assets (as
of June 1, 1902) $148,291,000
$80,000,800
$48,000,000
$20,000,000
$4,000,000
During the three and a half years of
our tenure of office we have appropri
ated, and at the end of the present
fiscal year we will have spent six hun
dred thousand dollars; (mark the
figures and register them in your
minds) six hundred thousand dollars
more for the common schools than the
fusionists appropriated and spent for
that purpose during the four years of
their tenure of office.
Here is telling reply with which
to confront the Republican tricksters
when they rend the air with their
yawp about the interest they feel
in the masses of the people, and
what they would do for them if in
power. It is a striking contrast be
tween what the Democratic adminis
tration has done and what the
Republican-Populist administration,
with all their talk, didn't do when
they had the power to do.

He says there is no water in this.
In this connection he stated that the
net earnings for the past quarter
were $37,691,700; at the rate of
$150,766,000 a year. He also ex
pressed the opinion that the profits
ending April 1st, 1093, the second
year of the existence of the Trust, will
be larger than those of the first year,
and will probably exceed $140,000,
000. He also made the interesting
statement that the Trust could
stand a reduction oi 70 per cent in
its profits without loss, and yet we
are told by Republican statesmen
who are opposed to tariff revision
that a reduction of duties on steel
manufactures would ruin the U.
S. Steel Company and all other
steel companies.

Wilkesboro Chronicle: Two
large cranes were killed at the pond
at the Curtis place Monday morning.
Mr. Morrison who lives there now
tells us the largest crane measured 6
feet and 2 inches from tip to Up, and
was over 5 feet high. A few
nights, Mr. E. W. Settle, of Benham,
heard a racket among his chickens,
and when he got there he found a big
chicken snake and three dead chickens,
hie killed the snake before it got hold
of another chicken. The negro
convict, wno escaped from the camp
on Reddles River last week was cap
tured Monday up near F. T. Al
ander's. When the negro escaped
bloodhounds were put on his trail.
The dogs came up with the negro,
but he made friends with them and
the dogs did not harm him. When
the negro was located and an attempt
was made to capture him, the dogs de
fended him and one of the dogs was
killed before the conrict could be
taken. F.,T. Alexander finally suc
ceeded in capturing the negro, but
not until the convict was shot in the
back and seriously wounded. It is
doubtful whether or not the negro
will recover.
Greensboro Record: The man

Monday morning, died at Dr. Thames'
sanitarium yesterday at 11 o'clock
without regaining consciousness,
though he was recognized as J. 8. Tur

months ago. It is thought he was go

sleepy and sat down upon the track
and went to sleep, becoming dazed as
he awoke by the approaching train.
A rather singular fatality occurred
Wednesday afternoon about half-past
six, whereby an innocent old darkey
lost his life.' The city is doing some
quarry work in a field near Cedar
street and late in the afternoon an oc
casional blast is heard. Yesterday af
ternoon Anderson Walking, colored,
who works for Dr. L. W. Crawford,
was driving along Guilford Avenue,
near Merrimon's factory, when a blast
at tbe quarry was sent off. A piece of
the rock was sent spinning up and'
away, hitting Watkins on the leg and
severing an artery, causing death in
about an hour. Physicians were sum
monedquickly, but could not save his
life. Watkins was taking home a
load of straw and was riding on the
wagon at the time. The rock was
thrown perhaps three hundred yards.

No doubt the Cubans who
desire annexation have been im
pressed by the prosperity which free
trade has brought to Porto Rico.
The Porto Rican industries are in
the main flourishing. Take the to
bacco trade, for instance. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1901, the
imports to the United States of
Porto Rican cigars aggregated $300,
000. For the year ended June 30,
1802, Porto Rico cigars valued at
about $1,800,000 were exported to
the United States. The exports of
American products to Porto Rico
show a satisfactory increase. It is
not strange that a certain element
in Cuba, seeing how greatly Porto
Rico has profited by annexation to
the United States, should desire po
litical union with this country. But
this element should not be to hope
ful and aggressive, The defeat of
the Reciprocity bill proved that the
stalwart American protectionist is

By Xaieeraoa to tbe Mornlnz Star
New York, Jaly 18. On the open
ing tbe cotton market was dull but
steady, with prices one point higher
to two lower. The Liverpool cables
were of indifferent importanca while
tne crop and weather news were quite
in line wun anticipation bearish.
Then came buying orders from Liver
pool ana from Southern spinaiaer in
terests for the Summer months which
lea 10 a small scire or lata months
snorts. Wbile trading during the bal
ance of tne morning was not
active, the course of the market
was upward with plenty of rumors
in circulation that spinners found it
cneaper to buy July and August here
and take cotton on contract, than to
purcnase in the Southern markets.
where offerings were scarce even at
higher prices. In the early afternoon
JNew Orleans sent September buying
uruori nere, wane spot cotton holders
helped to support the Strmmer
options. The distant positions
were remctant to sympathize
witn tne near month strength, owing
iu iue exceiiem cnaracter of the crop
reports and to a forecast for showers
ana tnunder storms pretty much
throughout the belt to-night and tomorrow.-
The market was finally
steadyand net four to eight points
higher. Total sales were estimated
at 75,000 bales, a considerable propor
tion of which was near delivery cot
