The withdrawal of Speaker Hen derson from the race for Congress in the Third Iowa district, with the reasons he assigns, is admission of a breach in the Republican party on the tariff and trust questions, which will continne to grow wider and wider. The action of Mr. Hender son has drawn more attention to and caused more discussion of the tariff revision, anti-trust plank of the Iowa Republican platform than a half dozen such platforms could have done without the emphasizing he gave it by his strenuous dissent from it. Since these features of the platform have been so directly and positively assailed by Mr. Hender son it becomes incumbent on the friends of revision and the opponents of trnsts to defend their position and not be content with merely for mal declarations. They might have gone along smoothly enough if there had been no question raised in their own party, but now they will have to meet and combat Mr. Hender son's arraignment, and the more they do that the wider the breach will become. Republicans who have been denouncing the Democrats who have been contending for tariff reduction and for curbing the trusts, will have have to stand with the Democrats they have been de nouncing, and endorse the very ar guments they have opposed for years. And when they are doing this they will be disseminating "free trade" doctrine in their own party and making these Republican voters Democrats to that extent. After they have heard this question discussed by their party leaders who have been stalwart protectionists, and still claim to be protectionists, perhaps they will come to the conclusion that "free trade" is not such a frightful thing after all. They are learning ; they wouldn't learn from Democrats, but they will from their converted party leaders. Speaker Henderson has done tariff revision a positive service by oppos ing it, for, as we have remarked, he has given the revision demand more emphasis and caused a more general discussion within the Republican party in his own and in other States than anything else could have done. In commenting upon it the New York Times, a politically independ- ent paper, disposes of Henderson's "free trade" rot and the equally rotten claim that American progress and prosperity are the result of the protective system, in an editorial from which the following is an ex tract: There could be no more conclusive demonstration of the Republican par- tyi neea or new leaders and new minds than the pitiful letter in which Speaker Henderson declines a renom inatlon in the Third Iowa district. He has no faith that trust evils "can b cured or the people benefitted by free trade." In another communica tion he says: "I cannot acquiesce in administering free trade poison to cure the trust evil, which I abhor." xne expression "free trade" has long been considered by Republican pro tectionists to be the most odious de nunciatory epithet which could be ap plied to the policy of tariff revision. Speaker Henderson knows very well iut aim consuiuenu nave no lnten- uon 01 demanding free trade. His use of the expression is a measure of "vjH his vexation at the disheartening dis-yy.-C? oorery that his constituents, who once rr tV tt4 confidence in him, have moved JZ&lorWKrd, Iwrlnz him alone and far .r In bis address to his constituents RnMVffi Henderson, rnakes thla diw.1.. - - ration : 'l mnit say, and emphatically. Sitl do not believe that Bta J; chedule of the Dingier tariff )w C&Q be so amended as td relieve the people from the oppression of trusts or com binations of capita), however named; and that such action may involve the retarding rf our expanding com merce and eeli: tig and holdiog of for nlgn market?." These exprssions could proceed only from a mind thoroughly cjavinced that the prosperity that this country eujojs is due to the beneticttut working of a protective Uriff. Tho Speaker awards no credit to the tre mendous natural resources of the United States. We riso two billions and a half bushels of corn in a year, six hundred and fifty millions of wheal and ten million bales of cotton. Oar coal mines and our iron mines are the source of immeasurable wealth. We are industriour, energetic, inventive, perhaps beyond any other nation. All these things would have accounted for nothing had not the Republican nartv in its wisdom erected the high tariff wall to shelter this feeble folk and shut out the competing foreigner. That is the staff we have heard for thirty year?, as often as there was any question of lowering the rates of duty. That argument is too far worn out for an intelligent man. too palpably false for a sincere man. Americans who do their own thinking know that while the countrv would have become great, prosperous, and rich without a protec tive Uriff, Mr. Andrew Carnegie could never have amassed a fortune of five hundred millions in the steel business under a tariff for revenue only, lhey know that scores upon Bcores of the trusts that are now so much in me Dublie view would either be non existent or harmless had they not been built up and encouraged by tariff privilege. , "Free trade," with a necessity for more than $500,000,000 revenue an nually, is the veriest nonsense, and Mr. Henderson and other free trade yawpeis know it. We couldn't have free trade if we wanted it, but there is no Democratic advocate of this so-called "free trade," that is "a tariff for revenue only," who does not believe that such a tariff would give our industries all the protection they could possibly need and the American -workmen all the protection they need from "the cheap pauper labor" of Europe. Mr. Henderson talks about tariff revision, a reduction of the tariff schedules which "shelter" trusts, as fraught with danger not only to the trusts aimed at, but to manufac turing corporations which are not trnsts, because it would invite and encourage competition by "foreign trusts." Well, suppose it did? Have not the spokesmen of our trnsts boasted again - and again that they can produce at less cost than their foreign competitors can? Does their boast count for noth ing with Mr. Henderson? If they can, as they assert they can, pro duce more cheaply than their for eign competitors, what have they to fear from the competition of "foreign trusts?" When a witness some time ago before a isew Jersey court didn't President Schawb, of the Steel Trust, assert that the lrustiyf the wet. He attaches a little could lose fifty per cent, of ltsJr profits, and still prosper.' UoesnfI Mr. Schwab's declaration amount to anything withJMr. Henderson? Is there danger, as Mr. Hender- son says, oi tarm revision, .y.ree trade" "retarding our foreign com merce and the getting and holding of new markets?" If so, why do they favor "free trade" by instal ments, taking it in broken doBes as it were, by advocating reciprocity which is nothing more nor less than tree trade by mutual agreement with those nations that we desire to do increased trade with? In such cases they favor "free trade," the thing they denounce, to promote our commerce and the fgetting and holding of new markets, which Mr. Henderson says free trade would retard? He is weak, is self -contradictory, while tariff revision is strong, and growing stronger, in spite of the old, overworked "free trade" rot. THE HEW REGISTRATION. In accordance with the law as in terpreted by Attorney General Gil mer, in reply to an inquiry from Chairman Simmons, the new regis tration must continue through twenty working days (Sundays ex cepted), and must therefore begin on Thursday, October 2nd, and close on Saturday, October 25th. As this has been concurred in by Chair men Simmons and Pritchard, so that there may be no question or conten tion about it later, the registration will be held accordingly. We pub lished a few days ago the substance of the election law, as it applies to registration. As the law provides for and re quires an entirely new registration, every one who wishes to vote must register, whether he has heretofore been registered or not, so that every Democrat, or every voter who de sires respectable, honest govern ment, whether he has affiliated with the Democratic party or not, should not fail to register, and as soon as possible. As this is a matter of vital im portance and the opposition is re sorting to all sorts of schemes to defeat, if they can, the Democratic nominees for office and elect Repub licans where they think they .'are able to do it, and "independents" where they have no hope of electing Re publicans, it behooves Democrats to get into line and present a solid front against the Republican schemers andjtheir allies. There fore the sooner organization begins the better, and the first thing the organization should attend to is the matter of registration as the most important. In every township there should be committees of active men appointed to bring the matter of registration before the voters, keep it before them, and make it their business to see that every Democrat or every voter in accord with the Democratic party is registered. ' . THE TRUSTS AKB THE PEOPLE. President Roosevelt spoke' in Cin cinnati Saturday, to an audience of 8,000 people. He spoke on trusts. The telegraphic report of his speech informs us that as soon as he men tioned his subject trusts "ap plause broke out and continued at frequent intervals." This was in Cincinnati, one of the largest cities in the West, one of the leading man ufacturing cities, and the home city of some of the trusts. The President Baid in his introduc tory remarks that he Bpoke "as the chief executive of the people, and proposed to make an argument on a serious question without regard to party." When he mentioned trusts, the serious question, "applause broke out," regardless of party. Isn't this significant of the strong hold the trust question has taken on the people, regardless of party, and isn't it a strong indication of how the people are coming to the Demo cratic position on the question of trusts ? The party leaders who once denied that there are trusts, and those who contended that trusts are "beneficent" institutions and the logical and necessary outgrowth of business progress and development, have probably begnn to realize that the people differ from them on that question, while those who a few months ago contended that the trusts and the tariff were not issues have discovered that they are issues and very live ones. Mr. Roosevelt didn't say any thing in that speech that he had not said in speeches previously made, but he said some things more bold ly, perhaps, as, for instance, when he declared that "corporations should be held to the same respon sibility as individuals" (to which the audience approvingly respond ed), and when he declared that "personally I feel that ultimately the nation will have to assume the responsibility of regulating these very large corporations which do an interstate business." This, too, was applauded. While there was nothing new in the President's speech, the fact that any allusion to the trusts and to the necessity of getting them under control evoked such warm applause is significant of popular sentiment on that question and a warning to the trust politicians to get into line or get out of the way. According to the Washington Ga zette a Beaufort county piscatorialist has struck on a cute device to fool the little fishes and take 'em up out looking glass to his line near the hook, and when the fish seo them- selves reflected in it they make a bee line for that bait before the other fellow gets it. The Gazette has here tofore had a reputation for veracity, but when it comes to fish stories why that is another thing. We do not want to be understood, how ever, as casting any reflections on our esteemed contemporary on ac count of its looking glass narrative. CURREf COMMENT. The suspicion is unavoidable that ex-Democrats and Populists got m some line work on the "lily white" convention. Mobile Regis ter, Dem. Things certainly have changed when the negroes, who were thought good enough bv the Repub licans after the war to be placed over the southern whites, are now not thought good enough to be per mitted to belong to the same party with white Republicans. Louisville Courier Journal, Dem. The correspondent is right who suggests that Cnban Reciproci ty was. beaten in Congress by the Beet Sugar men of the West and the Cane Sugar men of the Southwest; but, then, that was not the first time that "sugar" has played a prominent part in Republican poli tics. Brooklyn Citizen, Dem. When a man with a ten thousand plurality to his credit turns down a congressional nomina tion with a dead sure speakership attachment, there is something do ing. Mr. Henderson's declination means a great deal that has not been yet explained. Richmond Times, JJem. Rabbi Hirsh says that this country is on the verge of revolu tion. The old Confederates made the last stand for Constitutional lib erty and local self-government. If the country goes to the bow-wows, the u. A. K. must have the respon sibility.

Dr. Hollo way has started a new industry for this part of the State which will doubtless prove a paying one. Chatham Record: We hear that a noted negro politician in Hickory Mountain township has threatened to have the registrar of that township ar rested if he refuses to register him be cause he cannot read and write, as re- autred by the suffrage amendment. He says that he will get a warrant from United States Commissioner Car son Johnson and have the registrar bound over to the Federal court. It would seem from this that all the Re publicans have not occepted the amend ment, nor that tne negro is yet elimi nated from pontics . Raleigh News and Observer: Mrs. James Pritchard, who lives on the farm of Mr. E. C. Exum, at Faro; in Wayne county, was seen lying on a bed at her home Saturday morning by farm hands who passed the house. The doors to the house were open, and as there was no sign of activity in the bouse an examination was made, when it was found that the woman had been murdered. Suspicion immedi ately rested upon the husband, due to the fact that their little ten-year-old daughter went over to a neighbors bouse crying and said : "I am afraid papa has killed mamma." The news quickly spread and a search was made for Pritchard, and he was captured be fore he could make his escape.

The southern states are in a better position than the northern to progress fast in roadmaking, for nearly all of them have adopted In some form the system of employing convict labor for highway construction. North Carolina was the leader in this work and now puts all county and all state convicts sentenced for a less term than ten years at work in roadbuilding. South Carolina employs all convicts on a sen tence of less than five years. In Ten nessee, Alabama and Georgia, county and many state convicts are thus work ed. A movement is being made to ex tend the system in these three states and to adopt it in Virginia. The arguments in favor of this em ployment of convicts are that it does away with the great expense of large penitentiaries, Is healthier and better for convicts and more humane, too, takes them away from competition with free labor to the greatest possible degree, enables the county or state to build greatly needed highways at low cost and thus makes their labor of ben efit to the public, which has been put to expense by their crimes. The cost of convict labor on the public roads in the south varies from 22 to 30 cents a day, says the Boston Herald. This in cludes their food and clothing and care. In the states where it is used a sys tem of convict camps, with movable prison houses, is provided. There are al ways an overseer and sufficient armed guards to look after the gang. Now and then a convict escapes. As a rule they are contented. The men are of course in the south mostly colored. One in a dozen is white. They are given considerable freedom in their movements and at times are made underforemen over their fellows or put to work at special labor where they must be trusted. In most locali ties they are dressed in prisoi uniform and given a ball and chain, these latter often being removed when they estab lish a reputation. In some localities they are left free from ball and chain and not made to wear prison garb un less state convicts. A visit to some convict camps at night reveals the characteristic spirit of the southern negro. At Augusta, Ga., they were found with musical in struments of various kinds, giving concert for their own entertainment The guards say many of these men are Habitual members or tne cnam gang. One man was pointed out who was said to feel at home nowhere else. Soon after he is liberated ne comes back on a new sentence, happy as can be, with a fiddle under his arm. GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTS Cost of Road Construction to Be Greatly 11 educed. As a result of laboratory experiments conducted by officers of the United States government the department of agriculture expects soon to be in a po sition to vastly improve the methods and greatly reduce the cost of road construction throughout the country. The work that is now being done by the department is for the purpose of developing the physical and chemical properties of the materials employed in roadmaking. The engineering features have al ready been well established, and the depth at which the base rocks should be placed has been determined as well as the exact angle of tho road In order to insure drainage and protection. The department experts will now endeavor to pick out the rocks that are best adapted for surface covering. From the investigations thus far pur sued with certain rocks used for mac adam roads, says Good Roads Maga zine, it has been found that by judi cious selection of materials roads can be put down to last from five to ten times as long as those built under the old systems without any addi tional expense in construction. A pro gramme of work has been outlined to cover the next two years, and in that time the department expects to fur nish information to prospective road- builders in every part of the country The laboratory that has been estab lished in connection with this work is very complete. Italy's Hlllhwy System. In Italy the principal highways are maintained by the state, and every bit of main road is examined daily by road laborers who have been appointed with some regard to efficiency. The government road laborers (cantonniers) are selected for good character and honesty. The limit of age is thirty-five years, and they must be of robust con stitution. Their hours of work are from sunrise to sunset, in which time each cantonnler must go over the en tire track of road apportioned to him. He is not permitted to absent or shel ter himself more than he can possibly avoid, whatsoever the weather may be. His chief 'duties are the leveling and repair of the highway and the re moval of snow, mud, dust, etc. He must also gratuitously assist wayfar ers in distress and vehicles in trouble on account of accidents or of bad weather, and no recompense may be asked for his labor. Worth More Than Larffer Crops. A system of good turnpikes or even of the modern, well drained and well kept dirt road, constructed according to scientific engineering principles, .would be worth more than an extra J barrel of corn or a fraction of a bale of cotton to tho acre, says the Springfield (Mo.) Republican. With easy and cheap transportation, every pound of market able value would be gathered and sold and not left to rot in the fields, as is too often tho case now. Besides this, country life would be made more at tractive, and the value of real estate would advance. Ho TV to Make DanOe!io:i Yi;n-.

Nitrates In tbe Soil. The continuous growing of wheat or other grain or of a cultivated crop not only rapidly depletes the soil of organ ic matter, but causes the rapid forma tion of nitrates, which are likely to be washed down in the soil below tho reach of the roots of plants. In experi ments by Professor Iidd of North Da kota tlie largest amount of nitrates was found at a depth of threo feet in bare fallow, while at a depth of seven feet the amount of nitrates was larger than ut a tli pth of one foot. It is evi dent that the nitrates found were leached down frci;i above. The impor tance of a proper rolat:on and of catch crops to take up and hold the nitrates is thus shown.
