The Louisville Courier' Journal has won distinction, by its nnquali: - fied endorsement of the administra tion policy of expansion, which it - vigorously advocates and justifies on the ground that there will be money in it. A recent issue contained the following editorial, which is in tended as an argument in favor of expansion. It says: "Thefigures of our exports prepared by the Bureau of Statistics for the nine months of the fiscal year ending March - 31st$fehow a gain in our Oriental trade which may open some eyes to the im portance of maintaining, our position in the Philippines. The increase is so notable in many respects that we re produce a table showing the money value of the trade to, the different countries on the. Pacific for the nine months ending March 31st, as com pared with the same period in 1898. It is as follows: 1898 ' 190O ABta $32,325,050 $50,086,488 Oceanlca .. 15,878,858 82,580,910 Japan 15,139,175 23,330,739 British Australia U,32C,O40 19,991,170 China ! 6,889,081 12,485,583 Hawaiian Islands 4,299,000 10,214,136 Hone Kong 4,451,667 6,101,442 Philippines 75,738 1,975,788 Russian Asia. 130,177 1,861,807 "The increase is greatest in the Phil ippines, Russian Asia and Hawaii. With respect to the first two of these, the occupation of the Philippines by our troops furnishes a satisfactory ex planation, and perhaps all that is nec essary, but this cannot be true of ' Hawaii, whose imports from us jumped from $4,299,000 two years ago to $10, 214,136 this year. Annexation must have stimulated the trade with Hawaii, though we have always enjoyed the favor of those islands. "The argument has been made as to the increase in exports to Asia, Japan, Oceanica and Australia that they have been caused by our greater business activity. This is partly true, bat only P partly. The attention of every met chant and manufacturer in the 'United States has been drawn to the Orient as an inviting field of trade, and the re sult has been that new people have made tentative efforts even if they have not been disposed to make permanent ventures. The fact that we have had to ship so many supplies to our troops and offi cers at Manila has given an impe tus, to the movement by providing - cheap and more convienent transpor tation. However, the influence of our possession of such a seaport as Manila and a country of such resources as the Philippines must have made a pro found impression upon the Orient. The sight of the fleets ane armies at Manila has been a representation of the power of the great Western nation that eclipsed all the arguments thai diplomats and traders had been urging ! so many years. It would be idle to .ignore what has been accomplished in this manner, especially when it so plainly only a beginning. It has been well said in response to the question of what we shall do with the Philippines that we should do the aame as any good business man would , do if he came into the possession of. a new and great property. He would at ... onoe set about making the most of it, just as we are doing now. The Philip pines annexed themselves to us, and we can not without pusillanimous conduct and stupidity unaparalleled - forfeit the advantages thus acquired. , There is nothing in this to show that we are indebted to the Philip ' pine grab for any of this increase, Of course there was an increase of trade with the Philippines for there . have been Jarge shipments to stuff to cater to the soldiers liquors, to bacco, cigars, etc., which constitute the bulk., of the exports of these islands but there isn't a dollar of the increase in any of the other markets which has been influenced in the slightest by our connection with the Philippines. The evident assumption in the editorial of the Courier : Journal is that the increase is is due in a great measure to that. This is undoubtedly what is intend ed to be conveyed by the last para graph, which aside from being, a sheer assumption, is not true as a matter of fact. The Philippines did not " annex themselves to ns." If they had" we would not now, after two years of occupation, have 65,000 men there trying t annex them. They have not only not . annexed them selves, but they have never said or intimated that they wanted annexa tion, but on the contrary have been fighting stubbornly and have sacrificed thousands of men to prent annexation. What the Courier-Journal calls annexation was simply a trade, concluded at Paris, in which Spain transferred to this country whatever claim she might have on these islands in con sideration of the payment of $20, 000,000, but the Philippines were not a party to that trade, had noth ing to do with' it, and the people who represented the inhabitants of the Philippines protested against it at the time, denied Spain's right to make that deal and this country's right to accept a title from Spain, and they followed thl protest up by taking up arms to emphasize it. As far as our reading goes the Courier-Journal is the only paper in the United States which has made the discovery that the Phil ippine Islands had annexed them selves to the United States. If they have we would like to know why it is that we have now an army of 65,000 men there to keep them annexed. Queer kind of annexa tion that. But call it what you please, we are spending more money, as a matter of business, in that grab than we will ever realize out of it, for even if we concede that having a foot hold in those islands would give us vantage ground in extending our commerce on that side of the Pacific we might have secured that without robbing those people of their country or antagonizing them in any way. We might have se cured all the needed concessions in this respect and - still have kept those people a3 our friends and rnade them look to us as their friends as they once hailed us and as their protector, as we were for more than half a century the rec ognized' protector of the Hawaiian Islands. And we could have done this without any smirching of na tional ,honor, any breach of faith, or any under-hand work to take ad vantage of a people who implicitly trusted us. All that we ever make out of those islands, directly-or indirect ly, will never balance the loss of reputation as a fair and honest dealer, and we will never gain any thing by it that could not have been better secured by straight forward and honest dealing. As we see it there is neither honor nor glory nor profit in that unscrupu lous grab. ROOSEVELT PERFORMS. There are few men in this country who have succeeded in attracting more of public attention than Theo dore Roosevelt' of New York, and while it may be true that he has in him some qnalities that attract at tention, he has achieved his present eminence more by successful -acting than by any transcendent merit. He understands the art of -advertising and has never failed to advertise himself and has never done anything to, which any credit might attach that he didn't manage in some way to have it heralded from one end of the country to the other. He is a demagogue of the first class, and. as ambitious as Julius Caesar. He may be as patriotic as the average man, but he turns his patriotism to his own use much more successfully than the average man, or even the man of more than average cunning could do it. There was a great blare of trumpets when he organized his Rough Riders and resigned his place as Assistant Sec retary of the Navy to lead them into Cuba, and when he did that he and his Rough Riders monopolized pub lic attention until the impression went out that he and they were the whole thing and that it was he and they that were doing all the work and all the fighting atv Santiago. The town had hardly fallen before he be gan the manipulation of the wires to have himself nominated for Gov ernor- of New York, and then he played the Rough Rider racket, too, made another Rough Rider campaign over New York, and played his "un selfish" patriotism for votes. He got there. -4 But that didn't fill the measure of his ambition. He looks higher to the Presidency, which he hopes and is planning. to reach as the successor of McKinley, if McKinley be re elected. This is the reason why he declines the nomination for the Vice Presidency, because he fears that might handicap him in his am bition to fill the first place. When he appeared in the conven tion at Philadelphia there was some more of this characteristic Roose- veltian acting. . He appeared there Vearing his Rough Rider hat, as much as to say, "here I am again," and the people applauded the hat and the man under it. That's jnst what Teddy was playing for. When the band struck tip . "The Star Spangled Banner Teddy grabbed his hatj Jerked it off his head and was the first man on his feet. And then every man yanked x his hat off and jumped to his feet as Teddy had done, and there was a waving of hats, and of sundry othejr things for the "Star Spangled Banner." That was play number two in which Teddf took the leading role. Of course all that drew attention to him, which wa3 precisely what he was playing for, This man may be a frauds in some respects, but he is an actor of con summate skill, and, like the up-to- date business man, knows the value of advertising and keeping himself in the public eye. ANOTHER POPULIST SPEAKS. We have published announce ments from a number of Populists of their intention to work and vote for the constitutional amendment, in which each gave his reasons for so doing. The following is from Mr. J. A. Beal, of Red Oak, Nash county, to correct a rumor that he was opposed to the amendment. We quote from the Nashville Graphic: Editor The Graphic. Will you be kind enough to allow me space in your widely read paper to refute a charge against me. It is currently reported that I am going to fail to be true to my race in the great battle for the liberties of the white people on the first Thursday in August, 1900. It is not true that I am going to vote against the Amendment, but I am going to vote for it and work for it until the sun goes down on the day of election, and I believe when the sun rises next morning it will rise on a freed white people from negro rule in North Carolina. I cannot see for my life how any true white man, who has the protec tion of his county and State at heart, whether he can read and write or not, can vote against the Amendment. Yours for reform through the Amendment. (! J. A. Beal.. Mr. Beal feels like a white man and talks like a white man: He cannot see how any true white man can oppose a measure the object of which is to protect the white man and his family from misrule and the domination of the vicious, ignorant negro mob. It is hard to understand how any white man who has the re spect he should have for himself or the love he should have for his fam ily could do that. Unscrupulous men who have their own aims to serve, are working hard to deceive honest white men by misrepresenting the Amendment, for they know that it is only by de ception they can prevail upon any honest white man who has his own welfare, the welfare of his family and his State at heart can be pre vailed upon to vote against white supremacy and for the perpetuation of the abominable system which makes negro domination possible. ALREADY NOMINATED. The nomination of Wm. J. Bryan by the KansasCity convention will be, as we have heretofore remarked a mere matter of formality, as far as the convention is concerned, for he already has 96 votes more than the two-thirds necessary to nominate. There are in the convention 930 voles, 620 of which are necessary to nominate. There are already in structed for him 716 votes, which is 96 more than necessary to nomi nate. It has for some time been a fore gone conclusion that he would be nominated, but it was not general ly believed that the States would be practically solid for him, the impression being for some time that the Eastern Democracy might have a candidate in reserve to be brought forward if there was any hope of putting him through. It is somewhat remarkable that in both conventions this year the in terest centers not on the men who stand first on the tickets, but on the men who will stafld" second. This will be a play for votes, to secure some man whose name will add strength to the ticket and make itj stronger in the "pivotal" States, if there be any any such now. RAILROAD TAX CASES. Hearing Before Standing Master Shepherd to Be Resumed Saturday. Special Star Telegn-am. Raleigh, N. C, June 20. The hearing of evidence in the railroad taxation cases before Standing Master Shepherd at Wilmington will .not be resumed On Friday, as appointed, but on Saturday 23d. This postponement is due to the fact that the telegraph tax cases now being heard in New York cannot be finished in time for Judge Shepherd to reach Wilmingto on Friday. A telegram to this effect was received from J udge Shepherd to aay. Duplin On Fire. Politically, Duplin is 'red hot," as the Stab is informed by two well posted citizens of that county. The white men are even more defiant and determined than they were in 1898, They say it is a good thing for that despicable "nigger," Abe Middleton, that he left Duplin and went to Greens boro to help Holton run the campaign. New Hanover ought to drop right into the procession with Duplin. "To your tents, O. Israel." $100Eewaid, $100.

Report of Directors Embraces Tracsao j tions of the Organization During the j Past Year-Sesgon Not So Sue ce8sful As Reported. '.- The fourth annual meeting of the stockholders of the East Carolina, Truck and Fruit Growers' Association was called to order shortly" after noon yesterday by President W. L. Hill, of Warsaw, and after the meeting was found to be duly organized an adjourn rasnt was taken until 2:30 o'clock in the afternoou. The afternoon session was principal ly devoted to hearing of reports and tW? election of a board of directors for the eosuiug year. The only impor tant report was thit of the retiring b .wd of directors, which was read by Vice President J. A. Brown, of Chad- bourn, as follows: Gentlemen Your Board of Direc tors beg to submit the following re port: Your Board, with the manage ment of the Association, was subject to some criticism on the part of- your stockholders at the last "annual meet ing on account of the contract made with the California ITruit Transport tion Company. Your Board was ac quainted with all the facts in the case and understood thoroughly the folly of attempting to cause either the Cali fornia Fruit Transportation Company or the Atlantic Coast Line : to violate their contract, and were practically forced to accept the best terms that could be had at that time. They were able; however, to force the C. F. T. Company to put up a guarantee of $10,000 for the performance of their contract, and .we are glad to report that our business agent, Mr. H. T. isauman, has oeen able to collect. since our last, annual meeting, the sum of $3,593.34 for damages sus tained by the shippers for the season of 1899, as a result of the above named contract, and without any cost what ever to the shipper. Your Board is glad to be able to re port that all the officers of your Asso ciation have performed their duties faithfully - and earnestly during the past year. The Atlantic Coast Line informed your Board that it would allow the Eastern Carolina Truck and Fruit Growers' Association to invite bids for refrigerator service for the season of 1900. Bids were advertised for. and the California Fruit Transportation Com pany, the California Fruit Express Company and the Fruit Growers Ex press Company were the competitive3. bidders for this service, and the Fruit J Growers' Express being the lowest bidder the Board recommended the se lection of this line to the Atlantic Coast Line, with the. result that the contract was awarded to them. Taking New York as a base, we were able to secure from the Altantic Coast Line a reduction of 12 cents. per pack age in less than car load lots and 17 cents per package in car load lots, making a reduction in the combined freight and refrigerator charges of 271 cents per package in car load lots and 20 cents in less than car load lots. These reductions have saved to the shippers of strawberries alone for the season of 1900 the sum of $82,627.39. Your Board found it was impracti cable to carry on the business of the Association without some responsible representative in charge of the clerical work, and Mr. H. T. Bauman was em ployed with headquarters at Rocky Mount, for the season of 1900, and from his records we find that 345,127 crates of 11,044,064 quarts of straw berries were shipped from the territory covered by this Association, The Business Agents of the Associa tion has made numerous inquiries from shippers and receivers and the reports show that while the refrigera tor service has not been perfect, it has been a decided improvement over the past seasons, and while there have been a few complaints, on the whole it has been good. We congratulate the Association that the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line are showing a wil lingness and a disposition to treat the grower and shipper with more consid eration than heretofore by giving a better service than ever before. Your Board has been sadly disap pointed in the treatment received at the hands of the Southern Express Company. The Executive Committee of the Association at the request of the Board or directors held several confer ences with the Superintendent of the Southern , Express Company and re quested a reduction in express rates. but action in this matter was deferred from time to time with promises, and when the rates were nnally establish ed they were higher at least twenty per cent, than they should have been. Your Committee was disappointed at the arbitrary manner in which the officials of this company treated the matter and hope that the Board of Di rectors for the coming year will pro test vigorously against this rate and make every effort possible to have it reduced to a proper basis. We are glad to state that the crop was fairly well distributed during the past season and all serious gluts were avoided. This shows the wisdocr of having the crop distributed and should be a great beneht the coming - season : we believe that these results were largely due to the efficient manage ment of our shipping agent. We desire to call your attention to the fact that during the past season the territory covered by the Eastern Carolina Truck and' Fruit Growers' Association practically had control of the strawberry market. The weather during the past season was unusually favorable for the harvesting and mar keting of the crop, which was short. While the crop at competitive - points was practically destroyed by unfavor able weather conditions, we were more fortunate and as above stated were practically in control of the mar ket. But if we will deduct the refrigerator and freight saving of tsz.uuu irom our net results, we will find that our profits were not as large as they have been in past seasons. We especially call your attention to the fact that reports have gone out from this territory to the effect that the past season has been one of the most pros perous in the history of the business. The actual figures show that the net returns have not exceeded 75 cents, per crate during the past season, and had we been forced to pay the same freight rates as last year it would have reduced our net results to 47i cents per crate, too low to justify the risk in raising and marketing this crop. We believe that the results obtain ed, as shown above, have been largely due to the favorable conditions under which this crop was marketed, and it is the opinion of your board that un less great caution is exercised in mar keting the crop of 1901 the results will be disastrous to the grower. - A few slight reductions were made in the rates of other products, but in the opinion of your board the rate on potatoes should receive especial atten tion at the hands . of the Association the coming season. As to finances, your Board is able OTASH give UofoS, flavor and firmness to all fruits. No good fruit can be raised without Potash. Fertilizers containing at least 8 to io of Potash will give best results on all fruits. Write for our pamphlets, which ought to be in every farmer's library. They are sent free. r - 4f GERMAN KALI WORKS, W 93NMuSt.,'Nw York. to repoit that it has adopted the sug gestion of the stockholders at the last annual meeting and that the finances areia good condition, as will be seen from thw Treasurer's report. The Board of Directors deemed it ntcessary to have.an official organ of the Association, land have therefore takea steos to take $250 worth of stock in' The Carolina Truck and Fruit Growers' Journal, and have adopted the same asVthe official organ of the Association.- We commend it to the stockholders. We congratulate the stockholders on the fact that harmony has prevailed in the Association during the past year, and this has been of great assistance to the officers of the Association in obtaining the above results, and shows conclusively the truth of the old adage, "la unity there is strength." We desire to return our thanks to the Association for the manner in which the members have stood by the officers. Respectfully Submitted, W. L. Hill. President. When the report had been adopted a new board of directors was elected for the ensuing year as follows: D. W. Fussell, Rose Hill ; J. A. Westbrook, Mount Olive; J. S. Westbrook, Fai- son; J. A.

The meeting-of stockholders adjourn ed at 5 o'clock and at a session of the newly elected board o directors Mr. W. L. Hill was re elected president and Mr. S. H. Strange treasurer. The election of a vice president and secre tary was deferred. r FOR WHITE SUPREMACY. Vigorous Campaign Instituted in Eastern Counties Speaking in Columbus, Robeson, Brunswick, Onslow.

An Embezzlement Case To-day. v On the; docket for .trial to-day is a case charging former Postmaster W. E. Black, of Carthage, Moore county, N. C, with embezzlement of money order funds amounting to $1,537.33, alleged to have, been misappropriated in October, 1892. The case was set for a hearing in Raleigh in 1895 ; was sub sequently removed to Greensboro, then to Wilmington, back to Greens boro and again . to this city for this term, where it will be argued on de murrer for defendant by Messrs.
