Tho difference between the two parties in this respect is that while the Democratic party has not made a specialty of fighting against pensions, while deprecating extravagence and indiscriminate granting of pensions, the Repub lican party has taken credit to it self for establishing the present Dension system and has defended and gloried in its liberality to the I ty with that race since England bo onafrinf.a who saved the Union." I pan to expand in South Africa. So dered a white man the papers made a sensation of it and kept it up for days. "3uch is the public sentiment against the negro. I believe if there were as many negroes in England as there ar in America sentiment would be worst against the negro In Europe than it is toward him iatho meaoest States iu Americs. The negro is better under stood and is as well treated in this country as anywhere else." There is no country in the world, with the exception, perhaps, of some of our Northern States, where the change in sentiment as to the negro is so marked as in England, attribu table in a great measure, no doubt, to closer contact and morefamiliari- TB7E PENSION TRUST. Some remarkable things are hap pening in politics these days. It was I Representative or Senator, and every "No Republican or Democratic President has ever found it convenient to look exhaustively -into this matter," is rather a loose state ment, in view of the fact that since 1860, a period of more than forty years, within which time the pension system has grown to its monstrous proportions, we have had but one Democratic President, who "looked into that matter" more, than all the Republican Presidents combined, and was roundly abased and grossly misrepresented by Republican speak ers and Republican organs for doing it. It was one of the strong cards they played to defeat him for re election and it was one of the strong factors in his defeat. President Cleveland had the courage to con demn and rebuke indiscriminate pen sion granting, and sent back to Con gress handf uls of bills with a veto on them, and as a result lost thousands of votes on account of it. Cleveland was then doing precisely what these New York Republicans propose to do now; was trying to protect the Treasury from fraudulent pensions. Another fact in this connection is that every movement made in Con gress since the war for pension re form was made by some Democratic closer contact is producing a decided change of sentiment in the Northern section of this country, where the lines are drawn even tighter against the negro than they are in the South where he is better understood, and where there is more charity and tol eration of his shortcomings. While the line is necessarily drawn so that thero can be no mistaking it, in social and political life, the avenues of labor, self-sapport, industrial, edu cational and moral betterment are opened wider to him in the South than in any other section of this country or in any European country. A CHANCE TO SHOW THEIR HANDS. The platform adopted by the remarkable when President Roose velt took up the subject of trust re striction for public discussion, and when Republican conventions de clared for tariff revision and for trust legislation. Thia was remark able, but it can be accounted for by the public clamor against trusts, made all the louder by the extortion of the Beef Trust and by the popu lar demand for tariff revision, out side and in3ide of the Republican party. There was politics in this. It was stealing Democratic thunder and "getting in the swim," as the boys say. Mr. Roosevelt is politician enough to know what he was doing, and the Republican politicians who drafted those tariff revision, anti trust planka knew what they were doing. But they are showing symptoms of another departure which cannot be so easily accounted for, because it has not loomed up as issue in this campaign, although it has been dis cussed more or less for years. As a rule the politicians of all parties have been afraid to tackle it. It is pension reform, taking steps to pro tect the Government and the tax payers from pension frauds. The first announcement of this new de parture we find in the New Yoik Sun, which says: The Republican party of the State of New York, it was learned yes terday, is ; to take the initiative steps this year toward regulating the pension question. The expenditures for pensions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, were $140,877,318.02; for 1901 they were $139,323, 62L 99, and for 1903 the expenditures were $133. 488,599.73. The expenditures for the mainte nance of the German army each year are $135,000,000, and for the French army, $137,000,000. No Republican and no Democratic President, it was said yesterday, has found it convenient to look exhaus tively into this matter. But President Roosevelt himself is a soldier, and his friends have discussed this pension question, and of course from year to year there has been a great deal of talk about the pension agents of Wash ington. There has always been a great deal of consideration extended to the Grand Army of the Republic, whose leaders have been regarded ss highly honor able men, and whose subordinates have been considered in the same light. Nevertheless, it was said yesterday, the time has now oome when the Re publican party should take some steps to prevent further inroads on the Treasury of the United States in the interest of pensioners who have no more right to sustenance from the United States Government than babe unborn. Eminent Republicans were saying yesterday that the Democratic party had always been fearful to undertake any explanation of the pensions issued by the United 8tetes Government, and In years gone by the Republican party has been just as fearful to discuss this important question. The pensions paid in 1890 were $106, 493,890; in 1891, $118, 548,959; in 1892, $141,088,948; in 1893, $158,155,342; iii 1894. $140,772,163: In 1895 tlin oVo . ?2iini6'. $138,049,540; in 1897, fSS'Wi?5 ta 1898' .51.87; in 18, $133,355,053, and in 1900, $138, 463,130. The .largest number of pensioners live in Pennsylvania, where there ZVtJfPU5 ot bem, who drew ti3,37S,S7LS7 from the government. Ohio comes next with 104,801 pension ers, drawing $15,211,137.88 in the year. New York had 88,794 pension ers on Jane SO. 1901, and the amount to them during the previous year was $11,931,375.89. Indiana comes next on the roll with 66,974 pension ers, drawing $10,291,895.75. Illinois 5!.?4cr?ter,,luaibw of pensioners, ..8- " ld last night, some statesmen are beginning to consider the Pension Trust as well as other trusts. time such a movement was made the opposition came from the Republi cans, and the Democratic party was arraigned as the enemy of "the men in blue," who "perilled their lives to save the Union." When Corporal Tanner was com missioner of pensions he boasted that he "shovelled the money" out of the treasury and regretted that there wasn't more there to shovel ont. That's the way he disposed of the surplus. The boast was applauded and endorsed by the politicians of his party. When his successor, Judge Cochrane, who had been a soldier, stopped the Bhovelling and undertook to conduct the office on honest, business principles he was denounced for it and held up as an enemy of the soldier. When Com missioner Evans, a Republican, un der McKinley, paid some regard for his oath of office and to honest ad ministration and showed a disposi tion to turn down frauds he, too, was denounced, the pension attor neys and the Grand Army posts made war on him, ma'de his official life a ragged edged one and never let up on him until they succeeded in getting him transferred to Liver pool as consul, and another put in his place. If Mr. Ware, who has succeeded him, refuses to be gov erned by the pension sharks, the attorneys, who live Dpon the pen sioners, they will make official life miserable for him. But it is a hopeful sign that at last even the Republican politicians are waking np to the enormity of the pension abuse, and that they are looking to some reform. It is new departure that may produce fruit after a while, whether it does now or not. The Sun is an orthodox Repub lican organ, and one of the most strenuous of them, too: but, to its . ..... " croon, do it said, it has never been in sympathy with the pension raids upon the treasury. While its state ment is, in the main, true, it ia not fair representation of the status THE COLOR LUTE EVERYWHERE We read and hear a good deal about the color line in the South as if it were a great wrong to the negro and peculiar to the Southern States, when, as a matter of fact, the color line is universal and drawn more tightly in some other sections of this country .than it is in the South. Some people have an idea that in Europe there is no color line and that the well behaved negro stands upon the same plane as well behaved white people, but that is not the experience of intelligent. - O 9 educated American negroes who have sojourned or travelled in Eu ropean countries. Dr. D. Jonathan Phillins. a col ored citizen of Philadelphia, has just returned to that city from a five years' sojourn in Europe, where he went to pursue studies in medi cine, passing final examinations in two of the leading medical colleges in England. In speaking of the discrimination against the negro he is quoted as saying: "America, after alL ia th hnat xur mo negro, an tmngs considered, not excepting his social standing. While public accommodations abroad may be obtained, it is generally made plain that the negro is not a welcome guest; in some places he is refused on the same plea as in sections of Amer ica 'that they are filled up. In trav elling in public conveyances where passengers have compartments suffi cient to seat from three to half a dozen, I often found myself alone, other passengers prefering to crowd elsewhere to coming to a eomfortihla seat by me.

Senttmant In Rnmn tn. ward the now is far different from that Ola generation ago. A case in point I witnessed, in London. There hap pened to be a murder committed by a colored sailor in the tou?heat n.n Tof London where murder Is of daily oc currence; yet when .this negro mur- Democratic State Convention of Massachusetts, which met in Bos ton, Wednesday, recognized only live issues, and is full of them. It demands the repeal of tariff duties on all articles controlled by trusts, free coal, free iron ore, free wool, free hides, and reciprocity with Cuba and Canada. It favors arbi tration of labor disputes, opposes imperialism, subsidies to favored in terests on land or on sea, and the use of corporation patronage to in fluence legislation. Every plank in this platform is sound, and would be endorsed by a large majority of the American peo ple if they voted on these pure and simple, uninfluenced by partisan as sociations or party bias. This will give the Massachusetts Bhoe manufacturers, woolen manu facturers, iron manufacturers, and opponents of trusts, whether they be manufacturers or not, an oppor tunity to 8 how their bands and prove their sincerity by breaking oo3a from party shackles, and voting for the policies they have been clamoring for. The shoe manufacturers want free hides and free leather, which are taxed for the benefit of a few men, which tax handicaps the manufac turers when competing in foreign markets, and adds to the cost of the shoes the people wear. The woollen manufacturer wants free wool for similar reasons, and the manufac turer of iron and steel articles wants free iron ore to relieve him from the tribute he has to pay to the monop olists who control the home market. They all want free coal, which they could get from fifty cents to a dol lar a ton less if they could import it from Canada. They have now to pay heavy tribute on all these things to the favored few who are protected by the Dingley tariff. They have ample reason to know that they can never get what they ask from a Republican Congress, because with all the popular de mand the grip of the trusts and of the protected interests has been so tight on the Republican majority in Congress for years that it could never be prevailed upon to cross the line drawn by the trusts and by these protected interests. If these Massachusetts manufac turers and others would find the re lief they seek they must vote with the party and men who will try to give it to them. We shall see whether they have the courage of their convictions. PSsi Is becoming more popular among women. The reason given is that a woman should know how to use the pistol for self pro tection.

The projected conference between the President and certain Republican Senators on the tariff question, shows that they recognize it as the issue in spite of denials, and dread the verdict of the peoble upon it in the present Congressional campaign.

Kinston News: Nearly 300, 000 pounds of tobacco was sold on this market Tuesday. Wilson News: The sales of to bacco Tuesday nearly reached 400,000 pounds and lasted until after four o'clock. The best of the tobacco is coming; in now and many lots sold each day bring fancy prices. Goldsboro Headlight: The to bacco barn of Mr. T. O. Mozingo. in Brogden township, caught on fire Sat urday morning about 2 o'clock and was entirely consumed together with about 600 pounds of the yellow weed. Clinton Democrat: Mr. Henry Andrews, while running the cotton gin of Mr. EL D. Hobbs, of Hall's township, had one arm caught and jerked in the gin by the saws on the 10th Inst The arm was cut in two be low the elbow and otherwise dread fully mangled. Dr. F. H. Holmes was summoned, who amputated the arm above the elbow. He found the patient very much exhausted from the loss of blood, but his condition was such as to make amputation necessary at once. Kinston Free Press: The American Tobacco Company depos ited Tuesday with the Bank of Kins ton seventy odd thousand dollars. Messrs. J. A. Harvey and EL W.

Albert Thompson, whom Calvin Clements shot last Monday morning, died Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock. This shooting was claimed to be accidental, but some circum stances connected with it would indi cate that possibly there might have been intent, though Thompson's ante mortem statement will go far towards exonerating Clements. Newborn Journal: The farmers say that cool nights are making cot ton open very rapidly. It is expected that the crop will be fully gathered by November 1st if hands in sufficient quantities can be secured to do the work. The staple is said to be very short this year but is very white and pretty. News reached here yes terday morning of the escape of four prisoners from the county jail in Trenton on Tuesday night It ap pears that the prisoners were very carelessly allowed to occupy the corri dor of the jail and they noticing that the bars on a window were rotted with rust, wrested one from .its fastenings and easily dug their way out through the floor. One of the number was Cy rus Dixon who was convicted at the last term of court for waylaying and killing Mr. Webber near Fowle, last winter. Dixon was under sentence of death, and was waiting action of the Supreme Court on the case. Dixon is a young man in early twenties, has thick black hair and dark eyes, which have a full or overloaded appearance, red face, wears a No. 7 nhoe, and is about five feet nine inches tall. The prisoners seem to have made good their escape as no tidings had been re ceived of them at late hour. TWINKLINGS. Crib and Watering Tronffb. For Cat tle, Both Movable. We have used the movable crib one year and find It very useful. It cost $12. We used it In a large field; haul It from one place to another when empty.

The A MOVABLE CBTB. crib has a ahed roof, Is 7 feet high in front and 5 feet at rear, 5 feet wide and 10 feet long, placed on runners 12 feet long, 5 Inches thick and 8 inches wide. The crosspieces resting on the sled are 3 by 0 Inches and 5 feet long. The side end, floor and end door are left open In the cut to show construc tion. The upper door (D) falls down. The crib is filled through it. If this crib is wanted for a self feeder, put la an Inclined floor. The accompanying cut shows a very convenient trongn ror watering or feeding cattle in the barn. It can be made any size desired, but the most serviceable size is about four by one and a half feet The sides should be built slanting, as shown, for then It Is easy for stock to eat out of it, and it can also be more readily cleaned. It is also convenient to -water, cattle with in winter. Provided the mangers are com posed of nothing more complicated than the bare floor, the trough, filled with water, can be rolled in front of CUTICURA RESOLV ENT PILLS (Chocolate Coated, 60 doses, 25c), are a new, tasteless, odourless, economical substitute for the celebrated liquid CUTI CURA RESOLVENT, as well as for all other blood purifiers and humour cures.

Theodore Price SAYS COTTOH GOING HIGHER. I strongly advise holders and producers of cotton to disregard re ports which are being circulated by those interested in depressing the price of cotton, to the effect that I or my friends are selling or con template selling. Such reports are false, but oven were they true, the essential facts of the situation would remain unaltered and cotton will go higher, as I have repeatedly stated. The market is bigger than any one man or set of men, and the law of supply and demand will assert itself irrespective of individual efforts to check or thwart it. Cotton is go ing very much higher, because the crop is poor and apparently grow ing woise every day, while the un exampled prosperity in America and the universality of peace through out the world, makes for the largest consumption on record.

COTTON MARKETS. list TmmIi la Irish Bird Beliefs. A Dublin journal, speaking about the beliefs about birds In Ireland, says that the blackbird and thrush are "wandering souls" whose sins must be expiated on earth; hence they are forced to endure the rigors of winter. Rooks, jackdaws, bats, hawks and owls are animated by lost souls. The Wagtail is called the devil's bird for no other reason, it is supposed, than that it cleverly evades the missiles thrown at it A dead wagtail is a rara avis. The robin is called God's bird be cause it plucked a thorn from the cruel crown pressed upon the head of cur Saviour and in doing so wounded its own breast. It forsakes a "cursed" graveyard. Sparrows, stares and plovers are on friendly terms with the falries. The lark and the swallow are birds or good omen, but the latter should not rest on the housetop. Ska Fort of wu Septm1er 19.

Foagera Co. :B7.XelesTaon to the Morntnir tjtar. New York, Sept.18. Cotton market opened steady with prices unchanged to five points lower, this being an in different response to weak cables and failure of the predicted cold wave to reach the western belt. In fact, the latter factor appeared to be totally un founded, for the early weather chart gave mild temperatures pretty much over the entire western portion of the United States. Scattering showers were reported in the central and eastern portion of the country, said by private tele grams to be favorable to the late crop. After a lengthy period of wavering tne wnoie market rallied towards mid day and in the afternoon made tre mendous headway on a bad scare of prominent Philadelphia, Southern and foreign shorts.

Grain traders were waiting for a sign to-day. Busi ness was less active than it has been forjnany days. Supporting orders were not in evidence enough to hold up prices and with a bearish report of the corn crop put out by a leading statis tical jjurnal, several professionals took ad vantage of the dullness to put a selling pressure on all markets.
