glxt. mhls Shot, JVJiUM Q. BEHH A BP, Qdltor and Proprietor. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday. - - Jasuaby 11, 1901 A EEBUKE TO THE GRABBERS. Last Sundav Cardinal Gibbons delivered a sermon in the Cathedral, in Baltimore, in which he spoke of the wars of the century just closed and the ravages they had caused. After dwelling at some length on I thee? he turned. his attention to the present day, and said: "Is it not a mockery of justice and a scandal to the Pagan world to see two Christian natimB cutting each other's throat in the fl me of Christian emu latioD? Is it not an outrage to content plate one nation forciog by the sword her law, her govern ment and political institutioDS on another nation, in the interests of trade and commerce, as if - merchandise and dollars and cents were of more value tban human lives? Is it not monstrous to see a strong Power invading a weak one, and seiz iogher territory on the hypocritical plea of rectifying her boundaries! This - rectification or boundaries isa very oiu practice, and is a polite name for rob bery on a large scale. . f be old Roman Empire 3,000 years ago was coDStabtly engaged in recti fyiDjf iU boundaries. It did not stop till it had annexed all of Europe and a good slice of Asia and Africa. But the day of retribution came at last. Tbe warlike tribes of the North swoop d down like avenging eagles - on tbat decaying and corrupt bodv the Roman Empire, and rectified her boundaries over again. The empire was dismembered and the map of Eu rope was changed. "It is a subject of great concern to tbe frier, ds of the Gospel of peace that Cbrutiaa Europe presents to-day tbe spectacle of a huge military camp. All tbe nations of tbe Uoutinent, as well as England, are armed to the teetb, and are living in mutual dread and distrust of each other. They are de voured by an insatiable ambition of conquest and dominion or by a fear of Invasion. When you see heavy clouds surcharged with the electricity of war banging over tbese nations, you may expect tbe thunder clap of battle to re sound at any moment. Armed nations like armed individuals are a constant menace to one another and are easily provoked to ngbt. "And these military forces instead of diminishing are unhappily increas ing every 5 ear. As soon as one nation augments its armament, its neighbor feels impelled to do likewise in self protection. According to a report compiled and published in 1887, from official sources, the army hat of Eu rope on a war footing comprised . nearly 11,000,000 of meu, and tne an . nual cost of maintaining the military establish meits, even in time of peace, exceeded $600,000 000. At tbe present time tbe c s- would probably amount to one thousand millions. "When we consider the immense number of men tbat are torn from the bosom of their families in tbe prime of life, tbat are withdrawn from active, industrial pursuits, when we see tbese youog men vegetating in idleness in time of peace,' and luxuriating in license and dissipation in time of war, we may form some idea of the moral, material aud social evils resulting from such a system "May God so guide our legislators and statesmen that they may never be betrayed into imitating European Gov ernments by tbe establisbment of formidable standing armies. God for bid that we ourselves, flushed with re cent victories, should ever become in toxicated witb tbe wine of imperial ism or militarism, but may we always follow the traditions of tUe Fathers of the Republic. ' - "Hitheto we have presented to the world a beautiful spectacle. Europeans accustomed at home to meet a soldier or gendarme at every street corner, on arriving in this country have been filled witb surprise and admiration that a nalioa of so vast an extent, and with sued an immense population con tains an tumy of only 25 000 men. Tbey have been forcibly impressed with tbe fact tbat tbt-y can travel from Maine to California without meeting a single soldier. Tbey see that every citizen of tbe United States is a soldier without uniform, engaged in tbe actfve pursuits of life, and ready at a mo ment's notice to defend his country. Tbey would feel that we are a strong nation because we bow to the majesty of the law, and are not confronted 'and intimidated by military satraps. May this fair picture never be de faced." " Cardinal Gibbons is not a politi cian, he was not talkiug from the standpoint of a politician, but from the standpoint of a minister of the gospel, a follower of the Prince of Peace. It was not his purpose to arouse feeling against Governments which are pursuing the policy of grab and militarism nor to antago nize the administration of Mr. Mc Kinley, but what a scathing rebuke arethe8e utterances to the land grabbing nations of Europe and to the McEinley administration, which is following in their footsteps not only in land grabbing, but in foist ing npon the Republic a great standing army, one of the griev ances alleged against Great Britain by the men of the Revolution, who gave us a Republic to be ruled by law and not by bayonets. What a rebuke to tbe hypocrisy which undertakes to justify war upon the weak and seizing their countries on the pretence of "benev olent assimilation," and carrying to them "Christianity, civilization and freedom," when the whole world knows that the inspiring motive is territorial aggrandizement, and greed for gain, to expand our terri tory and our commerce, that there may he more .vantage ground to carry out schemes in other lands and find more markets for the stuff we have to sell, a motive confessed by tbe more honest and candid of the land-grabbers. ; And these are "Christian" na tions, which profess to be anxious to carry the light of civilization and Christianity into dark lands unto benighted -peoples, whose Boldiers exterminate, burn, pillage and rav ish as they march, and thus by les son teach the ' benighted how little they believe in the doctrines they profess, or what a ghastly mockery their kind of "Christianity" is. How forcibly we see all this illus trated to-day, in this dawn of the twentieth century, with all its pro gross and enlightenment, in South Afcioa, where "Christian" Britain is laying waste the country, and murdering men because they refuse to surrender their country and have tha conraire to 'fight for it; in China, where the allied nations, every one of which has some, scheme of its own to accomplish, have per petrated atrocities as criminal in them as the barbarities perpetrated by the Boxers; and in the Philip pines by the United States, whose historic policv and principles are ignored and trampled upon by the arlrnr a tp& of the new departure, the policy of grab and national degra dation. There are millions of as good, true, patriotic Americans as ever walked the earth who endorse every word of this cutting rebuke bv this eminent divine, who Ameri- can as he is, minister of the gospe as he is, protests against this piracy of nations, this brutal trampling upon the weak, this hypocrisy of pretence and this policy of grab and militarism, this revolutionary departure from the precedents set, the policies pursued and the teach ings of the Fathers who founded the Republic, made it great, the hope of the oppressed and the admiration of men. - ON THE WRONG TRACK. Ex Governor Boutwell, of Maasa cbusetts, and thousands of other anti-imperialist Republicans, are doubtless, thoroughly sincere in their opposition to imperialism and the expansion policy of the McKin ley administration, but they propose a very slow process of combatting it when they talk about organizing a new party with anti-imperialism as its .cardinal principle. With two great parties like the Democratic and the Republican parties already in the country, embracing nearly all tbe voters, tbe organization of a new party would be very ' slow at best,. and the day of its success at the polls a long way off. Within the past decade a score or so of new par ties have been organized, some of which have died, and the rest of which have scarcely left a track on the political turf. In commenting on this movement the Philadelphia Times offers the following for the serious considera tion of ex-Governor Boutwell and others of his kind: "Ex Goernor Boutwell. of Massa chusetts, a pronounced anti Imperi alist, was recently written to by a friend in New York asking him to co operate in the formation of a new party based upon anti imoenal-'sm. the goid standard, tariff reform, civil sr vice r-rorm and opposition to trusts. Mr. Boutwell n plied in a vigorous letter in which he favored the forma tion of a new party upon the single issue of opposition to tbe present im p-rial policy of the Republican party boldmg this to be fundamental to the preservation of tbe republic. On this basis he would seek to unite friends of tbe gold standard and its opponents, the friend of a protective policy and those who believe in a tariff for reve nue only. "In bis assumption that the issue of imperialism is fundamental and tbat social and economic questions can be lett to oe settled later Mr. Boutwell ia entirely right. He ,goes astray in as suming that it is either necessary or expedient to found a new party to se cure tbe defeat of imperialism. The Democratic party is already antagon istic to tbe imperial policv made ita antagonism the paramount issui in the iatj Presidential camnaism. and on this issue polled more than six millions of votes. It will be both easier and more sensible for Mr. B jutwell and those of his way of thinking to add their votes to those of this great Dem ocratic host for the purpose of defeat ing imperialism tban to undertake to do it by the formation of a new party." If they want to build up a new gold standard, tariff reform, civil service reform and opposition to trusts" party, let them join in with the Democratic rjartv. helD it to 1 a knock imperialism out and then proceed with their new party build ing. When President McKinley visits California in May it is said he will stand on one side of ; the line and shake hands with President Diaz, of m m Mexico, who will stand on the other. T his is to avoid possible complications that might arise by his stepping over into Mexico. Are they afraid that Teddy might jump his claim if he found that McKinley had vacated the country for a little while ? The late Phil Armour, the head of the American meat commnvi X m 9 who died estimated to be worth somewhere between 130,000,000 and $60,000,000. got his start, in California, where he went as a boy, hustled around doing odd jobs and savedabont $4,000. Not counting the money which England has spent in her land-grabbing in South Africa, she has lost 604 officers and 11,554 men, leav ing out the invalids Sent home, and she is not done losing money or men yet. In 1800 the farmer of this country plowed his land with a wooden plow, sowed grain by hand, har vested with a scythe and threshed with a flail. In some parts of the world they do that yet.

The British war managers have acted on the assumption that all that it was necessary to do was to over come the Boer armies, drive them from their strongholds and that would be the end of it, but they have done this and yet the situation to-day is as embarrassing for the British as it was the day the war be gan. Instead of fighting an enemy centered at a few strategic points, they have to fight small, but ag gressive, daring and resolute armies scattered over a large area, which, if defeated, cannot be pursued for want of cavalry, so that it is more on horses than on men that Great Britain depends to accomplish her schemes. And horses must be acclimated, as shown by the fact that over 100, 000 have died in Africa since the war began. It takes time to accli mate them. Even then there is an im mense task in supplying great num bers of horses with feed on the march, and the great bulk of that feed must be shipped long distances, because the country cannot be de pended npon to supply it. Whatever opinions may have pre vailed in England as to a speedy termination of the war,' they will probably change, if they have not already changed, on reading this in terview with Lord Raglan. This is one instance in which a bullying, grasping nation over -reached itself, and got hit hard with its own boom erang." THfc STATE PENITENTIARY. A Minority of tbe Board of Directors Pro test Against the Premature Adop tioo of Reports. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 8 There was a lively session of tbe Board of Directors of tbe 8tate Penitentiary this morning, during which the min ority, including Legrand, Young, Cotton and Denmark, had their votes recorded as a protest against what they termed "snap judgment" and prema ture adoption of the reports of Super intendent Day and the executive board of the prison. Ballard also joined in the protest - without ask ing that his vote be recorded against tbe adoption of the reports. The charge of snap judgment was on the ground that the meeting this morning Iw4h-intentionally called and action wM vu ius auuguuu 01 toe re pur is before they (the protestors) reached the prison, by those members wbo spent the night in tbe executive build- ng, and the charge of premature adoption was on tbe ground that the board should investigate for them selves as to the accuracy and com pleteness of the reports and recom mend from personal knowledge after such investigation. The ad vocates of adoption contended there was no - snap judgment, the board having waited for the absent members from the hour when recess was taken until 9 35 o'clock before proceeding to transaction of business. and that the confidence they reposed in their (the board's) officials was ample warrant for the adoption of their reports by tbe board of directors. The discussion developed some un pleasantness of rather a personal character between several members. mmWk4mmamw Voltanle Eruption Are grand, but Skin Emotions rob ife Of job. Bucklen'a Arnica.

Frank Simmons, for four years past the capable manager of tbe Interstate Telephone Exchange in this city, has resigned his position with the company, to take effect February 1st, and will be associated after that date with Mr. Henry Pannill, wbo has re cqntly removed from Petersburg, Va., to this city, in the manufacture of his celebrated roof paints. Mr. L A.

Produce Exchange Endorsed Resolutions Prepared by . the State Geologist. FORWARDED TO CONGRESS. Matter of Forests Also Taken Uo and Preservation of Same Urged The Regular Monthly Meeting Held Yesterday Morning. I Four resolutions presented by State Geologist Holmes for consideration by the Board of Managers of tbe Product Exchange relating to geodetic ami forestry matters were adopted by tbat body at the regular meeting held terday morning at 10 o'clock. 7J' subjects treated are of little interest to the general public, and a synopsis of the same, prepared by Prof. Hoimes and accompanying tbe resolutions, is am fnllnva L ri,,,; a" ioD ,w I " .w.ir,. u mo sur veys and examinations of our forests. This work, thus far, has been limited to the 39 National forest reserves stud the territory adjacent thereto, in tbe Western 8tates. The forests in the Southern States are being destroyed (by cutting and burning) so' rapidly tbat unless some new policy is adopted throughout the country, our timber supplies will soon be a matter of tbe paat,. As a basis of any newjotelligei 1 forest policy it is necessar-tbut il e existing forests be carefully mapp d and examined; and what this resolution asks for is that the forest surveys do being carried on by the government elsewhere be extended so as to iecinie these forests in the Southern States. Resolution 'B" asks for an ext-.-sion and enlargement of the goveru ment worx of examining and measur ing the surface streams in the h;!i country and the underground or artesian water supplies in the lo lands; so that our water resourcts in both these directioos in tbe Southern 8tates may be determined more accur ately and rapidly. The larger portion of this work now done is carried on ia the Western States. Resolution "C,1' relating to the pub lic roads improvement, does not pro- ;. pose that the Federal govern mt-nt- go j Into the business of road building in the Southern States. Bat tbe public road movement is making sucb slow progress in the South, where its need is perhaps greater than - in any other portion of the country, that this reso lution in asking for an increase io tbe government appropriation for the investigation of road building mater ials and how tbey can be used to tbe best advantage, intends to urge upon Congress this increase in order ibat the government bureau ba ing this workm cbarge may co operate more- I liberally with tbe officials and people late the good roads movement. Resolution "D." The Government has already established out of tbe public. lands in eleven different States and territories of the West, national parks and forest reserves, including something more than. 70,000 square miles . The present wide spread move ment to which this resolution relates has in view the establishment by the Government of a National Forest Re serve and Park in the southern Appa lachian mountains, including limited portions of ; southwestern Virginia, western North Carolina, eastern i Ten nessee, with a portion of tbe mountain area in Georgia and South Carolina. It is a matter that has been carefully investigated by the best forest ex pens of the country, and is most heartily approved by the Secretary of Agricul ture io Washington, who will recom mend prompt action on the part of Congress looking to the securing of these lands before they are all despoiled by the lumbermen. This me&sura has also been approved of by all the had ing forestry associations and the larger scientific societies of tbe country, and by many of the chambers nf nnmmnrnA in the five States more especially in terested in the measure.
