Some of our North Carolina papers have done much to add to Ma reputation by referring to Mm as 'the great gladiator, the great debater, &c, &c, and Mr. Craig complimented him aa the "ablest liring Republican in North Carolina." That he has ability of a certain kind must be admitted, but it is neither the ability of the statesman nor of the big brained man who discourses upon public questions, but the ability of the trickster and the man who advances sheer as sumption for argument and bases argument upon assumption, bra zenly adhered to and reiterated, no matter how often it may be exposed. As for principie he hasn't got any. He practically acknowledged that when in advocating fusion with Marion Butler's party, he in the Re publican convention at Raleigh pub licly declared in his speech that he was willing to hold his "principles in abeyance" for the purpose of forming an alliance with a party with which his party had nothing in common. He did hold them in abeyance and by doing so wormed his way into the United States Sen ate, which he had in his eye when he and Marion Butler were concocting their fusion plans. He and Marion both got there, and Marion, who also holds his principles in abeyance, is for him now and wants to have him sent back to the Senate. It is not principle with schemers like Pritchard; it is self, and the spoils of office. When he was running with Ma rion Butler's party he was a free sil ver man. Free silver was then an is sue. All the Populists, with whom he had fused, and many Republi cans, were in favor of it. But it has ceased, for the time being at least, to be an issue, and therefore he is no longer a free silver man, not because it is not an issue now, , but, as he said in reply to Mr. Clark at Tarboro, because he "has learned better." . He ought, as a citizen of North Carolina, to have learned better about a good many things in which the people of his State are interested, but he doesn't seem to have done so. As he relegates principle for spoils, so does he relegate grati tude, and puts himself in the atti tude which, as Gen. Clarkson said ' in his letter to Lee Person (speak- , Ing ; about eliminating the negro from the Republican party) no "elf- respecting Republican can tolerate." Everyone knows that he was elected U. S. Senator by negro "Totea, negro yotes combined with - - the rotei of white Republicans and Populists. 2e owes all the . politi cal rrestire he nas acnievea ana u the emolamenUIh8 fias reaped from politics, to the negroes, who hare constituted the bulk of the party to which he belongs, at least before he plied his white-wash brush to make it a "lily white" party. - When it was proposed to amend the constitution of this State by add ing to it an educational suffrage clause he opposed it because it would, he said, disfranchise so many negroes, but to make his opposition more popular with white Republi cans, many of whom were in favor of disfranchising illiterate negroes, he said he opposed it, not only be cause it would disfranchise so many negroes, but would also disfranchise thousands of illiterate white men, which would put power in the hands of the aristocracy, which didn't want the poor white man to vote. But when the constitutional amend ment was ratified by the voters of the State, and became a part of the constitution he came to the conclu sion that he had nothing further to gain by sticking to the negro and championing his cause, and he was one of the first to turn against him, and as the Republican machine manager of the State, to send word along the line that negroes must be frozen out of Republican conventions, and the doors of the State convention be closed against them. And it was done. No man with a vestige of political gratitude in him would ever hbve consented to much less suggest and carry out a cold-blooded scheme like that, which was even more sweep ing than the Democratic qualified suffrage amendment, for that dis franchised only the illiterate negro, not on account of his color but on aceount of his unfitness to wield to ballot, while Sen. Pritchard'sfireez ing out process practically disfran chised all, as far as the Republican party is concerned, literate and illite rate, good and bad, competent and incompetent, all of whom are placed in the same catagory as unfit to have a voice in party matters, while the intelligent, educated, industrious, well behaved, property-owning ne groes is only recognized to the extent of being permitted to cast a ballet for the men whom Pritchard's lieutenants might name for office. If such as this, reckless assump tion and the most transparant dem agoguery, are evidences of a high order of ability, then Senator Pritch ard is an able man, a very able man; but that is not the kind of ability the people of North Carolina wish to represent them in the United States Senate, a kind that does them little credit and that they have no reasons to be proud of. THE BEEP TRUST. The .beef packing companies in the West commonly known as the Beef Trust, have organized them selves into a company to be known as "The United States Packing Company." This is to dodge the Sherman law as it applies to trusts. The charter granted by the State of New Jersey is a blanket one and authorizes it to deal in,' and breed cattle, and all kinds of live stock, to control and purchase . butcher shops, markets and stores dealing in meats, poultry, fish and game, and to operate steamship lines and other means of transportation. If there was anything that they wanted not in the charter they forgot to ask for it but will doubtless have it added later. Secretary Shaw thinks the old Beef Trust was a good thing for the cattle raisers and the farmers who had any cattle to sell, but speaking of this new combine, that isn't the opinion of the cattle raisers, one of whom in the annual meeting of the "National Live Stock Association," at Omaha about the time the char ter was granted to the United States Packing Company thus ex pressed his views. "The combination just formed." said he. "requires a capital of $88,000,- 000 to absorb the properties of the va rious packing companies. It will re quire a clear profit of $100,000 a day to pay 3 per cent, interest on this capital. When they add $100,000,000 more or watered stock it will take a dally profit of a quarter million dollars to pay 4 percent, interest. "When this combination sees fit to begin operations it will practically place a mortgage on every head of live stock in the United States. This mortgage will have to be paid by the producer." This quarter of a million dollars a day profit will come not only out of the producer but out of the con sumer, for while this big trust, which calls itself the United States Packing Company, will squeeze the cattle raiser on one side it will squeeze the meat consumer on the other, for it will have both in its power. It was looking to making the power complete when it had in corporated in its charter the right to deal in all kinds of meats, poultry (including eggs, of course,) fish, game, &c, which gives it practi cally absolute control of the food market. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, in a speech in Milwaukee, a couple days ago, scored the Pennsylvania anthracite Coal Trust and de nounced the tariff on coal. He said, he didn't know how it got into the Dingley tariff bill. This reminds us that there were quite a number of statesmen who didn't know how the clause demonetizing silver got into thatbllL O Be&ri tin ,m Kind Yoa Hare Alwajrs BouM The Beat Motticino for Mothers Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription "Words cannot express how grateful I am for your kind ad vice and your 'Favorite Pre scription,' " writes Mrs. D.

MACHINERY DISCOUNTS FSO; TECTI0K. Senator Pritchard and other de fenders of the Dingley tariff assert that it is a good thing for North Carolina, and Soa?ern States gen erally, because it gives protection to Southern products. Among these products is rice. North Carolina produces very little rice, and there fore derives little benefit from the tariff, if any Southern State does. The rice-growing industry is able to take care of itself, because the in ventive genius of the American has constructed machinery that enables the rice grower of this country to produce many times much rice as the Asiatic grower can, and at much less cost, notwithstanding the cheap la bor in the rice-growing countries of the Eastern hemisphere. It is becoming a great industry in the coast region of Louisiana and Texas, and is making such steady progress that it is predicted this section will in a few years raise not only rice enough to meet the de mands for home consumption, but a large surplus for export to Cuba, Porto Bico, the Philippines and other countries. A recent issue of the New York Tribune contains a very interesting letter from a Texas correspondent, describing the progress made in this industry in Louisiana and Texas, how electric power is utilized in ir rigating the rice farms, operating threshing machines, etc. We quote the following extract, which shows the contrast between Asiatic methods on the one side and Amer ican methods as pursued in Louis iana and Texas on the other: "Pauing along the street of an Ori ental rice centre a peculiar sound comes to the ear, as of a blow struck against a yielding: substance. Inresti gation shows a one-man power mil), the man jumping on and off the beam of the pounder. The blow cracks the hull, and the sliding motion of the rice in the tub remores hull and cuticle. Attached to this is a one-woman power winnowing machinr, with a capacity for cleaning eleren bushels of rice a day. "Not so in Crowley. An automaton of complicated machinery does the work. The rouffh rice passes in at one end and out at the other, graded, sacked and weighed for the market a the rate of twenty thousand to two hundred thousand pounds a day, act cording to the capacity of the mill. "On the prairie rice lands or Liousi ana and Texas one man with a four mule team can plant and harrest one hundred acres of rice. He will re quire an additional man in harvesting and stacking, and, of course, help for two or three days in threshing, well tended, his crop will net him one thousand barrels. He may do much better than this, and he may do wo'rsf. In Japan one-third of an acre is a rea sonable rice farm for a man. In China and India, the water buffalo is used in preparing the land, which enables oue man to cultivate one-half an acre to two acres, depending upon the amount of additional help employed. With our improved machinery there is no known country where a dollar will produce as many bushels of rice as in the United States. The indications are that rice production in India and Japan will decrease. Every acre de voted to fibre must be withdrawn from the cultivation of rice or wheat, for every available acre in China and Japan is now under cultivation." This is an illustration of what we have so often contended, showing how American genius, enterprise and machinery discount protection and get away with the so-called "cheap labor" on the other hemis phere. 1 Here is another chance for Sena tor Pritchard to play sweet on the Dingley tariff. In 1850 the candy manufacturers of this country pro duced only $3,000,000 worth of candy, while now they produce 8u,uuu,uuo worth. It takes lots of prosperity to suck that much candy.

Even if the next House, being Democratic in majority, should modify or repeal the duty on meats, and the Senate and President agreed with the House, the Meat Trust oould go on swindling the public until 1904 just the same: but, under the President's proposition lor a Tana Commission, the present generation would pass before a re form could be effected, and it is un doubtedly so intended, though it is hoped to "pull the wool over the public eye for the coming election. r Brooklyn CititenDem. 1WINKLINQS Wigg-If I hadT my way I should exterminate all the Pullman car porters.

The cotton market opened steady, w'h pr e- s un changed to four points lowerj in sym K i? i j oviness in ine Liverpool market and in keeninir with thn er map from the belt. There was little ur uu jm one support in evidence and the foreign business want oi clusiyely to the bear side.- However light receipts at the ports and a small estimate of tomorrow's Houston receipts led to hnat covering later in the first hour and there were iadications that Wall street was supporting the January option. The Southern spot cotton people took every advantage of a rise tn ft an January to putout hedges and pres sure ui mis nature soon forced prices backward again. Commission houses sold scattering lines of winter months, otherwise outside business continued aiong nana to-mouth lines.
