A short while ago the English iron makers howled because Amer can firms took away from them con tracts for about $5,000,000 worth of work in South Africa, which the Americans agreed to do for about 20 per cent, less money and in about half the time the English men would contract to do it in. This was simply a case of American enterprise and push against Eng lish enterprise and push. This isn't the first time this has happened, for some time ago the English iron men howled because Americans se cured contracts for some steel bridges and railway equipment in Northern ; Africa, which . General Kitchener needed in his operations in the Soudan. Then, too, Amer ican enterprise and push got away with the British and other Euro pean competitors. A couple of weeks ago an American secured against English competition a con tract for a largo lot of steel rails fora railway in Ireland, and for some time American locomotive builders have been selling loco motives to English railways, the excuso for the purchases being that the English builders could not supply them in the time allowed. Much of the steel rails, structural steel for the bridges, and nearly all the. locomotives used on the trans Siberian railroad" were furnished by American firms and at a price which jEuropean firms could not furnish them. All the road making ma chinery employed in the construc tion of that road is of American in vention; built in this country and shipped to Russia. Thjs machinery was not introduced until most of the work o'f grading was done, but it is said that if it had been introduced when the work was begun it would have been completed a year or so ago, , with a saving of millions of dollars. As American enterprise and push have been successful in these in stances so do Europeans find them selves put to their trumps in nearly everything when they have to meet American competition, and they, are compelled to see American goods of numerous kinds sold right under the shadow of their own fac tories. Both in England and in Germany they are trying to put themselves in a position to meet this competition by substituting -American machinery for their own, and perhaps they may succeed, to some extent at least, provided they have the knack to manage the ma chinery as it is managed in this country, which is doubtful, to say -the least. But it will require more than the machinery used in the manufacture of articles, to put the European competitor on the same ground with the American, for in this country there is a continuous succession of machinery beginning with the pro duction and preparation of the raw material to the machinery with which this material is put into its final finished shape, and there is ad vantage for the American all along the line. To give himself .the full advantage of American machinery the. .European must employ it all along the line. This successful competition from America has aroused more or less antagonism in Europe, and there have been suggestions in England of a tariff that would cut it off to some extent, in defence of which they cite our protective tariff. But the tariff suggestion does not take well in free-trade England, for al though it might please those who suffer by this competition it would not please those who are benefited byit In Germany a combination of all the nations whose manufacturers and producers suffer from this com oination nas been suggested as a defensive measure, but that scheme will not be so easy to carry out be cause of the conflicting interests in volved, one nation being interested in keeping out one line of goods, an other another line. - But they doubt less would if they could form a com bine against this country, whose commercial supremacy is becoming a serious factor with them. And yet it is not surprising tnat sued, a sug gestion has been made, for such a combination wonld be the logical - outcome of the protective tariff, practically pronibitive, wnicn we have adopted to keep European manufactures and European raw materials out of this country. We practically exclude their things from ourjwrts, while our manufacturers expdrt their goods and build np markets in the countries which are virtually excluded from our ports There is more or less talK 01 reci procity with some countries which nave protective tariffs, buf these ' reciprocities, as a rule do not amount to much, are not long lived, and benefit if ; they benefit at all, com paratively few people. - It may be some , satisfaction to Americans generally, and they may and probably do take some pride the fact that American enterprise and push are making themselves fait thrnncrhont 1 the world, and forging to the front in so many lines, but thia satisfaction is more than on- et by the fact that the men who achieving these victories in markets apply the screws home customers whom they have in their power, because the protective tariff which handicaps and keeps the European manufacturer out of our markets gives them a monopoly which enables them to charge home customers any price they please, and therefore they insist on an exorbit ant profit on the things they sell at home and are content with a moder ate profit on the goods they ship to other countries. .Why this system is perpetuated and these tariff protected favorites are thus permitted to impose on the American people ""while dealing reasonably and fairly with foreigners is one of the mysteries which the average American cannot under stand. But is a fact repeated every day in the year, and a fact which will account for the enormous cam- paign tunas wnicn tne i&epuDiican party managers can command. MUST TAKE PULL RESPONSI BILITY, With the result of Tuesday's elec tion, and the practical endorsement of the McKinley administration, the Republican party must assume the full responsibility for the adminis tration of the Government for at least the next two years if not four. The result is not what we wonld have it; it is not good for the coun try now, and not good for the coun try in the future, but the sensible man tries to make the best of what he has, if he cannot get what he wants, and philosophically accepts what he could not prevent. Every man who cast his vote for Wm. J. Brvan cast the vote of a patriot and a well-wisher of his country, while every man" who cast his vote for Wm. McKinley practi cal! v. whether he so intended it or not, voted to endorse the McKinley administration and everything it ,8tood for. It was virtually aiicense to the men who have been running that administration to run it in their own way regardless of traditional precedents or of constitutional limi tations. It has been said and, will doubt less be said again, that in as much as there were several issues and the Republicans did much dodging of the "paramount issue" the verdict will not be an endorsement of the Philippine nolicv. but the vote given to McKinley was an endorse ment of that policy, for failure to condemn was virtual approval. They forced the silver issue to the front, it is true, and thus scared many voters into voting for McKinley who would otherwise have voted against him, but that doesn't matter, for the-man who voted against Bryan on the silver question simply ac knowledged by that vote that he subordinated the Philippine ques tion to the silver dollar question and would rather see the bloody and shocking work go on in the Philip pines than see his idol gold stand ard disturbed. Whatever the opinions or the feelings of the voter may be, the vote cast for McKinley was a virtual endorsement of his adminis tration and will be so regarded by Mr. McKinley, who said so in re sponse to the crowd that gathered at his home on the night of the elec tion, and will be so regarded by his H supporters and advisers. I And perhaps it is well that it I should be so and that the adminis- tration have full rein, unhampered by an opposition Congress, for this throws the full responsibility on the Republican party and relieves the Democratic narty of all responsi bility.' The practical-joker still continues to get in his work.' A few days ago three or four of them, near Roches ter, N. Y., labored industrially for some time in improvising a skeleton out of the bones of animals, which tney suspended in a tree over a path in a grove, so arranged that it could be dropped at the oppor tune timev Then they took their positions to enjoy the fun. In a little while three girls came along, wnen near enough the skeleton dropped. There Were screams. Two of the girls ran away and one fell dead from fright. MR. BELLAMY'S MAJORITIES.

We have written a great deal in these columns about the destruction of our forests, which the axe and the saw-mill are now so rapidly de pleting. Recent unprecedented freshets 'in -some of our Western streams has called attention again to this subject, and elicited the follow ing from the Charlotte Observer : "There is a new argument now at least to us for the necessity of forest preservation. Our observant and thoughtful Morganton correspondent calls attention to it in bis letter in this morning's paper. The destruction of the forests results In unusually disas trous floods when rivers in the timber denuded section overflow. The Catawba river in Burke county has lately made a new high water record by rising two feet above a new steel bridge near Morganton, which has been built five feet above the old danger point. At the same time the stream runs lower in Summer. The cause of this is be lieved to be forest destruction by the lumbermen and the forest fires. The latter burn off the leaves and mould on the mountain' sides which absorb part of the falling Winter rains and prevent the abnormal flooding of the mountain streams. As our corre spondent remarks, this is a question which riverside land owners, bridge- builders and manufacturers depend ent upon water power, the parties most directly interested, need to turn their attention to." Whether the extraordinary freshets herein referred to were the result of timber cutting and fires or not we know the. fact that forest depletion and forest fires have Lbeen the cause of destructive floods in our own and other countries. Matter enough to make several large books has been written and published on this subject. We know that streams in this country which before settle ment by white people rarely if ever overflowed their banks are now flooded almost annually; the reasons for which are so manifest that they have ceased to be a matter of doubt. And yet we are proceeding with the destruction of our forests as if their only value was the dollars that can be got out the lumber giving no thought to the penalty that poster ity, if not ourselves, will pay for this indiscriminate tree cutting. When others fail, take Roberts' Tasteless Chill Tonic. It cures chills, fevers, malaria and general bad health. 25c.

SAILOR CAUSED TROUBLE Jailor Mlllls Had a Lively Encounter With a Wonld Be Deserter. Early yesterday morning Jailor Millis had a lively time with a sailor from a Norwegian ship, who had deserted and was detained some days in jail. . Mr. Millis waa on his way to the ship to deliver his prisoner, when the sailor made a dash for liberty. The chase began at the Court House and the fleet footed deputy captured his man at the .corner of Fourth and Chesnut streets, - after an exciting sprint. Then there was trouble and much of it for a short while. The sailor struck Mr. Millis over the head twice, kicked him several times and did some scratching before he could be conquered. Mr. Millis finally pulled his pistol and after landing several blows on the deserter's head, made him realize that he was up against a propos ition that he could not solve. Mr. Millis took the prisoner to the river and started across to the vessel, when the sailor swore that he would drown his captor, but at the point of a pistol the Norwegian was persuaded to believe that he had made a mistake. The sailor was safely landed on his vessel without further trouble, Attended Wedding. Mrs. E. M. Nadal, Mr. E. S. Nadal and Mr. A. P.

Well Known Citizen and Printer Died at His Home Yesterday Morning The Funeral Service To-day. The Star chronicles with deep re gret the death of Mr. J. J. LeGwin, senior member of the firm of Led win Bros , printers and bookbinders, and one of the best known and most esti mable citizens of Wilmington. He died yesterday morning at 11.43 o'clock at his home, No. 421 South Fifth street, after an illness of two months, which completely wrecked his entire physi cal constitution. He was attacked with an acute nervous disorder rather sud denly on Sunday night, September 9tb, just after returning from church. Gradually . he grew worse until his death. He went to 'Mount Vernon Springs with hopes of regaining his health, but on Monday he suffered an other severe attack, from which he never rallied. Mr. LeGwin was one of the most thoroughafcd competent printers in the city, having learned the "art preserva tive of arts" on the Wilmington Journal, when that paper was pub lished here by Fulton & Price before the war. Later, he was foreman of the Wilmington Messenger, but about ten years ago, with his brother, Mr. L. M. LeGwin, they formed a copart nership under the firm name ofLe Gwin Bros , one of the best known printeries in the city, and conducted with his brother this business up to the time of bis death. t Deceased was a son of John F. and Mary LeGwin, the latter of whom is still living at the advanced age of 80 years; He was born in Wilmington, June 25th, 1848, and was therefore in the fifty-third year of his age. On September 25th, 1878, he was married to Miss Lizzie P. Hardy, and she, with four children, Hardy, Katie, LeRoy and Rosser, survive him. He is also survived by a brother and three sisters Mr. L. M.. LeGwin, Mrs. R. W. Smith, Mrs. H. A. Donelly, of Wil mington, and Mrs. W. EL Jarman, of Jacksonville, N. C. Mr. LeGwin was a consistent mem -ber of Fifth Street M. E. Church and was both a steward and a trustee in the same at the time of his death. He was also a member of Cape Fear Lodge No, 2, 1. O. O. F., and members of this Lodge are called to meet at their lodge room thia afternoon at 3.15 o'clock for the purpose of attending the funeral, which will be held at 4 o'clock from Fifth Street M. E.

North Carolina Remains True to Bryan and the Entire Dem cratic .Ticket. LANDSLIDE FOR CHAIRMAN. He Has Carried Nearly Every County in the State Two Congressional Dis tricts in Doubt Reward for a Peerless Leadership. Special Star Telegrams. Raleigh, November 6. The State of North Carolina has remained true to Bryau andDemocracy. The ma jority will not be short of 30,000. The Democrats have carried every Con gressional district in the State, except the Eighth and Ninth. Returns from those two districts are very meagre, but it looks like Crawford has' been defeated in the Ninth district, and news from the Eighth shows that the vote is close. Hon. Furnifold M. Simmons will succeed Marion Butler in the United States Senate. It was a landslide. He cirried nearly all the counties in the State. Returns up to midnight indi cate that his majority will be 40,000. Carr has, carried Durham, Alamance, Orange, Rowan, Cabarrus, Anson, Union and Mecklenburg, certain. There are other counties that are close, and a few more may go for Carr; but the Simmons vote is a land slide. It is a great victory for the State chairman, and is due to appre ciation of the people for his magnifi cent conduct of the campaign in 1898 and in 1900. Wake county is very close, and it may require the official vote to decide whether Simmons or Carr has carried the county. Simmons men claim 200 majority. Pou's majority in this county is about 1,500. He is elected in the district by about 3,000. Both Giles, (Rep.) and Jenkins, (Pop.) re mained in the field till the last. John ston gave Pou a majority of 1,800. "Returns from fifty-five counties show & net gain of seven thousand over Womack's estimate of forty thousand for Simmons. Fear Craw ford is defeated. The Eighth district is clo-e. Thirty counties show a major ity of twelve thousand for Bryan. BRUNSWICK. Northwest, November 6.

DAY AFTER ELECTION THE COUNTY CANVASSERS Will Meet To-day end Declare the' Result in New Hanover Further Returns from the State-Senatorial Prl msry Result a Surprise. There were many and varied com ments upon the result of. Tuesday's election on the streets in Wilmington yesterday. Some were surprised at the outcome of the national contest and there were many who' were not. The greatest interest was manifested in hearing the returns from the sena torial primary. Mr. Simmons' most sanguine friends were bewildered at the overwhelming majority with which he swept the State. Mr. Carr's friends were disappointed but very generally accepted the result gracefully.
