Yesterday morning The Star called attention to the telling as sault which the Democratic party is making against Roosevelt on ac count of the national scandal in having Secretary Cortelyou made national Republican chairman. The horse sense of the American people is such that it will be hard to make them believe but what there was a sinister motive in taking a chairman from a department where the secrets of the trusts are held. The Democrats are also making a vigorous campaign upon all the vital Issues involved in the cam paign. Parker's ideal of restoring this government to constitutional limitations is bound to have its effect, and the promised reform of the tariff is making a deep Impres sion upon the people everywhere. The fact is the Republicans are desperately on the defensive all along the line. Judge Parker's lucid exposition of anti-imperialism and his con vincing demonstration that our forcible control of the Philippines and the Republican policy among those people is contrary to the principles of liberty, has called for vigorous defence on the part of the Roosevelt cohorts. The idea that we can buy people and not only rule them without their con sent but dominate them with bayo nets, Is repugnant to American'con ceptions of justice and government, and Judge Parker's presentation of the imperialism issue has been so strong that it is bringing the Amer ican people to their senses. Roosevelt found that he could offer no defense for such a nolicv on the part of a free American people . but something had to be done. He saw that a stop had to be put to the effect of the telling blows which the Democratic party in dealing impe rialism, and without attempting to defend that non-American policy, he is crying aloud the bad effect which the discussion is having on tne Fillipinos. The plan to offset the anti-imperialist onsault is to hurriedly give out a letter from the Hon. Luke Wright, imperialist .gov ernor of the Philippines, in which that official sounds the alarm that the discussion here as to wheth er the Fillipinos should have their, independence as soon as they are qualified for it, and that ".they are getting the impression that this is to be a. policy of this government towards them, is having the effect of making them restless and more difficult to gov ern. ' V Most of the secrets about the Pnllippines are : held hard and fast in the depastments at Washington, but why was if that President Boosevelt gave out General Wright's letter? There are but few; intelli gent Americans but who can answer that question for themselves. The only answer is, that it was done by the President because he fears the effect of the discussion of the Republican policy of imperialism. It was done because the Presi dent realized that something had to be done to counteract the strong po sition of Judge Parker on that ques tion. As a matter of fact " Gen. Wright's letter was rushed before the American people at this critical moment because Roosevelt realized that the Democratio position against imperialism Is "haling a; damaging y effect upon his chances of being elected. - The Savannah flews in discussing this matter put it Inter estingly and plainly in the following remarks: There are thousands of Republicans who do not agree with the Philippine policy of their party, and some or them have openly said they couldn't support their party In the present campaign on account ot it. xne rres ldent is afraid that it is going to cause him to lose a great many votes, more than he can spare in the doubtful 8tates. , . The method he has taken to stop the discussion Is having an effect al together different from that which he hoped for. Instead of stopping it the discussion la becoming more Intense than at any time dnring the cam paign. The people are beginning to realize the dancer there is in the Re- trabllcan nartv'a PhlliDDlne policy to our institutions. They are beginning to sea that what Judee Parker said in his letter of acceptance, namely, that "free neonle cannot withhold freedom from another people and remain free," is true. The President must have a queer idea of the American people U ne thinks they are going to stop discus sing a matter in which they are so profoundly interested until It Is finally settled one wav or tne oiner. matter 6f fact, some nromlnent mem' bora of hla own uartv are dis missing It. Mr. Justice Brewer, of the Runrema Court, for instance, at the International Congress of Law- van and Jurists at Bt. Louis last week, said; "You can see twenty acres of Phllinnlna life at the World's Fair, but you cannot see a square rod of the constitution. Perhaps It Is because it has been judiciously declared that there is no connection between the two The remarks of the distinguished speaker were received with great ap nlause. showine that the issue of lm perlallsm Is one that has a strong hold unon the neoole. It is the issue to which Judge Parker gave more at tention than any other in his letter of acceptance and it Is playing an im portant part in the campaign. Gov. Wright may complain that the dis cussion of it is making the Fillipinos restless and the President may give his letters to the newspapers, but the discussion will go on. The Presi dent - cannot stop it. It cannot be stopped. As a matter of fact the Filipinos have no love for us. They are no moiO reconciled to our rule now than they were the day we established our au thority in their Islands. A few who have been given offices may pretend they are satisfied to be a dependency of the United States, but the great body of the people are on the lookout all the time to rebel against' our au thority. Army officers in the Philip pines who, in letters to friends, tell the true state of offairr, express the opinion that the only good Filipinos are the dead Filipinos. If, therefore, we continue to hold the islands as a possession the chances are that there will be a situation bordering on war pretty much all the time. What will be the effect on this country! That is the question the people are dis cussing. The case is well made ont by our able Savannah contemporary. The giving out of Gen. Wright's letter Bhows that Roosevelt is in desperate straits for defence. TWINKLINGS Cane to Umbrella I hear you were out in a hard storm. How did you get through?

The Mammoth and the Mosquito What has come to pass in thousands of wears seems hardly credible. Primitive man, a weakling- in comparison to modern man, was able to conquer the huge mon sters of thousands of years -ago, such as the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead forever: yet the mosquito and fly have never been conquered. It is now time for the scientist to devise methods for kill ing the mosquito and fly, so that they will go to join the mammoth and the monster lizards. , The mosquitoes and flies are dan gerous enemies of man because they spread contagion? The mosquito often carries the germ of malaria with his bite. The house fly spreads germs of disease over our food. These bacterial germs, ever hunting for the weak spot, find a placenta our blood, and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con sumption, or malaria. . Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi cian to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., says : "There would be no grip epidemics, the germs of consumption, or malaria would" find no place in the human economy, if the blood were pure, if the lungs, heart and other organs were fed on good blood. Poisons should not be allowed to accumulate in the body: to be safe it is best to take a gentle laxative at least once a week." Such a vegetable laxative as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets contains nothing which could harm the system.

Ihree Premlaeot Yoasf White Mea In ; Norlhimpttn lonnly 6tasrgcd With Brotal Treatment of Respect able Colored Girl. Raleigh News & Observer. ! Turns, N. C, Oct. L Fraught with atrocity and maglignancv, the crime of a most brutal assanlt upon the person of a young negro woman near Margerettesville, Northampton county, by three young white man, all of the most prominent families. has last been unearthed Two of the men have fled the state and their victim lies in a precarious condition. The gruesome story narrates that three young white men coming home from Weldon under the influence of liquor and with the intention of. engaging in a night's drunken brawl, for which purpose they carried the jags of whiskey, went to the home of a respectable negro, held-him and his wife at bay at the point or pistols, and crimi nally assaulted the daughter. From the house they led the girl by a rope tied to her neck into the woods where they held her captive during that night of ghastly hor rors Finally she sank intonncon sclousness and they suspended her body between two trees by ropes, tied her feet and neck and thns left her after committing nameless atrocities. -The news was not long in reach ing the ears of the parents of the boys and by intimidation, money and threats the crime was kept from the public. Such horrible sins, however, can' not long be hidden. In a few days the white people of the community rose np in indignation and demanded the prosecntion of the criminals. The blacks of the community, who had been intimidated had held a meeting and demanded of the white people that they be brought to justice, claiming that if it had b6en three negroes who had committed the crime upon a white girl the earth would have been scoured for their blood in revenge. - The prominence of the families to which the boys belong and the re moteness of the place of the crime has heretofore kept the news from the public. It was about three weeks ago that the trag edy occurred, and from that time the parents of the boys have guarded against any publicity. The correspondents at the nearer towns, if they have heard anything, nave not sent out a word, the conn ty papers have been mum on the subject. It was not until yesterday tnat tne news was traced by your correspondent. A prominent lawyer of this coun ty returned the day before from Northampton, where he had gone on business, and amid the scene of the sensation and from ' the citizens he learned the story of the brutal crime. The outcome cannot be judged at this time as the men are at large, presumably somewhere in Virginia. ; , MARINE DIRECTORY, List of Teasels in the Fort of Wllmlng ton, If. C, October S. STEAMERS.

The cotton market after a weak morning, had a very sharp reaction in the afternoon, but lost part of tbe recorery before the close. The opening was easy at a aeenne oi 6u points, which was better than expected In view of lower Liverpool cables, excellent weather in the South and the prospect for large receipts. At nrst there was consid erable and quite active covering, but after hanging around the opening price for a little tbe . absence of bull speculation and the unsettling influence or the big crop estimates growing out of yesterday's bureau re port began to affect prices and before midday December had told off to 9.75 and the general list to a net decline of thirteen to seventeen points. Shortly after the publication of the weekly crop bulletin, which was hardly thought to read like a crop of. the b!m sug gested by the monthly report of the previous day, there was a sharp rally. The story on tbe floor was that a lead ing New Orleans operator who has been in this city for some months, now studying the situation, had been short before the bureau report of yes terday, had covered and was swinging to the long side, expressing bullish sentiment on cotton at or below 10 cents. This buying seemed to take room shorts by , surprise, and -there was active covering that inside of an half hour had forced a rally of over ; twenty-five points' on the active months.; Following this, leading . bears felt' the market by offering quite large blocks and man-J agea io get me list aown to last nignra finals. In the late trading the under tone was pretty steady and it looked as though Wail street, last Winter's bull leader, the South and Philadel phia were buying moderately while sales came chiefly from scattering longs and some professional bears who considered the rally in the light of a temporary reaetion.7 The market closed at a net gain of 2025 points.
