WILLIAM H. BE HIT A RD Editor and Proprietor. Fbidat, May 15, 1903. CAN COMPETE WITH ANY. tT i I Lli.V. - J 1. lesteruaj wo puuuoueu tu aibiuio by Mr. John R. Froctor, Civil Ser vice Commissioner, advocating the extension of the Monroe Doctrine to China, as necessary for the protect ion and preservation of oar growing trade in that country. There is a portion of that article which, in view of the persistent demand for tariff protection and the impossi bility of getting the Republican statesmen to attempt anything like tariff reduction, is noteworthy. Speaking of the possibilities of our trade with China, he says: "Our trade in China mtut in time exceed the enormous trade of Great Britain with that country. We at last realize that because of our abund ant resource, the skill of our work men and the efficiency of our machine ry, we can successfully compete with any and all countries for the markets of the world. As our capacity for production grows more rapidly than our capacity for consumption, this country, more than any other, is in terested tn preserving China from partition among European powers. Being an orthodox Republican and an expansionist to boot, as his strenuous advocacy of expanding the Monroe Doctrine shows, Mr. Proctor herein, perhaps nncon sciouBly, presents a strong argu ment against the plea for tariff pro tection as necessary to the pros perity and preservation of our "in fant industries." A few days ago we quoted some thing from the report of Mr. Knox, one of the English experts who were sent to this country to investi gate and report on the steel indus tries, in which he also referred to the abundance of raw material, cheap transit, improved machinery, &c, notwithstanding which the steel men are tho most strenuous clamorers for protection. This led him to. the conclusion (taking it for -granted that they really needed the protection they insist upon) that the progress they had made in extending their trade abroad was more artificial than anything else, and depended largely upon the pro tection they have. Mr. Proctor, however, says that "we at last re alize that because of our abundant resources, the skill of our workmen, and the efficiency of our machinery, we can successfully compete with any and with all countries for the markets of the world." This is a pretty sweeping assertion, but it is not the first time it has been made, for this has been the boast of our steel manufacturers and others en gaged in foreign trade. They felt elated at their success in competing with foreign rivals and couldn't help boasting over it, and thus went on record with an admission that they do not need (tariff protection to en able them to compete with European manufacturers. And now Mr. Proctor unequivo cally proclaims that "we all realize that with our abundant resources, skilled workmen and efficient ma chinery we can compete with any and all countries." No tariff pro tection in this. It is all due to our "abundant resources," "the skill of our workmen," and "the efficiency of our machinery," every word of which ia true, S?true that the decla ration might have been supposed to have been uttered by a stalwart oppd nent of protection, some Democratic "free trade," believer in "a tariff for revenue only." With these great advantages en joyed by the American manufac turer, enabling him to successfully compete with the manufacturers of other countries, where is the need of a prohibitory tariff to protect him in hi sown market, where he should have and has even greater advantages over his foreign competitors? If he can ship his productions across oceans and successfully compete with the manufacturers of other countries, what decent excuse is there for asking protection from these same manufacturers in the home market to reach which these foreign com petitors ship across oceans and pay freight, just as our mannfac turera have to do when they ship to foreign markets and compete with these foreign rivals. It is absurd to assert that they need this protection to protect them from the foreign competition which they meet and successfully overcome in distant ' markets, and In the face, too, of the balance sheets which they annually how, and the colossal fortunes amassed by some of them. Men who wnrlr nn mMi ama.11 mar. ww wfltaaa w wm nvu WHIHI til f gins of profit as to make protection from outside competition necessary do not amass phenomenal fortunes in a comparatively fewyeara,and yet there are scores of men in this country to-day who are blatant for protection whose fortunes number millions and some of them many millions, all made out of industries that would, we are told, perish with ont protection. This doesn't fool anybody in this country, but sun tney insist upon protection, and the "Republican statesmen pretend to believe what they say to justify the "masterly inactivity" policy they are pursuing in reference to tariff reduction on prodnctloni which can successfully compete with the manufactures of any other country in the markets of the world. What "we all realize," to quote Mr. Proctor, the Republi can statesmen ought to realize, but they have failed to do it so far. . DR. PABKHURST ON NEQEO ENFRANCHISEMENT. In an address delivered ia Atlan ta a few days ago by Dr. Parkhnrst, of New York, who was in attend ance at the Charities and Correction Conference which met in that city, in speaking of the South he referred to negro emancipation and enfran chisement as follows: "Proridentiallv. or as a mult of the war according as each . one may In terpret th ease the slaves were eman cipated. Now, this was a great event in the blitory of toe colored people. If a man hai been in jail even five years It ia a momentous instant for him when the warden slipa the bolt and be steps out a free man. If he waa a criminal five minutes before he was set free he was just as much a criminal five minutes after he had been let out into the fresh air. "This supposed instance of the con vict is in principle exactly what oc curred In the cisa of the blacks. Eman cipation pushed the bolt for them; it let them out into the sunshine. "There was a great deal of heroism in the course of the war, North and South, but there was not much states manship In the construction of a peace, and one of the radical mistakes made was in supposing that altering the col ored man's condition altered tho col ored man, that letting a wolf out of a cage domesticates the wolf, that sub stituting coat and trousers for swad dling clothes makes of an Infant a man, and that emancipation not only re lieved the slave of his fetters, but qual ified him to be a citizen." Dr. Parkhurat agrees with Dr. Lyman Abbott and other thinking men of the North who discuss this question from a non-partisan stand point, that negro enfranchisement following so quickly upon emanci pation was a great mistake, but they all charitably take it for grant ed that it was simply a mistake, that the men who forced it upon the South were honest in it and thought they were doing the best they could under the new condi tions by which they were confront ed. This ia a great mistake on the part of theBe gentlemen, for the in spiration behind that movement was entirely partisan, had no con sideration whatever for the welfare of the negro of the South or the white man of the South. The par tisan statesmen who planned that scheme never gave the slightest thought to the fitness of this enfran chised mass to exercise the suffrage thrust upon them; they knew that theBe emancipated negroes were no more qualified for suffrage than an equal number of negroes just im portant from the jungles of Africa would have been, but yet they made them voters. Why? Because they knew they could control their votes and believed that with them they could put the Republican party on top in the South, which they did for some years. To call that a mistake is straining charity. It was a crime a crime against the white man of the South who was made the victim of that in fernal plot and a crime against the negro, who was nsed as a pliant tool to carry out the plans of-these un principled, unscrupulous partisan schemers. RUSSIA WILL HOLD HER GRIP While Russia may talk in a concil iatory, tone to the other powers which seem to be concerned at her movements in Northern China, and may give assurances that she co tem plates nothing thatwould put them at a disadvantage in trade matters,, she already has a grip on Manchuria and she has no more idea of loosing it than she has of surrendering the concessions she has secured from the Chinese Government, or of pul ling up the railroads he has con structed and palling down the towns she has built along these lines, all of which represent many millions of dollars already invested, and com mercial and military ascendancy in the future. In speaking of Russia's game the St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Telegraph cables his paper as follows: "That Russia intends to nrotect ef fectually the Manchurian rail war. and will consequently never lack snecioui pretexts for including in the work of protection every conceivable demand which her political and economic In terests may induce her to put forward. Hence, among other thlnes. the rail way terminal at Newchwang must re main wholly in Russian hands. "am must also effectually control the sanitary board, which will enable her at any time to naralvza forelcn trade under the pretence of warding off danger of infection. That will be her method of maklnar nn for her in dustrial and commercial inferiority and it can be thwarted only by joint acuon oi we rowers. Of this combination there is aa vet no fear In St. Petersburg. Everybody asserts that the United States will bold aloof from Great Britain an Ja pan, mat uermany will encourage Russia to cling to her policy, and that rranco win remain faithful to her Muscovite ally. The Uzara government will not be deterred by anything short of ther cer tainty that it can compass its aims only vj ogaung ior mem. At present no such conviction prevails. Evervbodv believes that the nlatonfo nmtMh nt England and Japan constitute the only vmwig q success.

Read, Promlaeut Trucker, Shot and Perhaps Fatally Wousded Chester Edmoodson la Jail. News of a serious shooting affair at Chadbourn yesterday morning about 11:30 o'clock reached the city yester day afternoon. Mr. O. 8. Read, a member of the large trucking firm of G. 8. Read & Co.. of Chadbourn and Norfolk, Va., shot and, it Is feared, fatally wounded Chester Edmonds, also a well known citizen of that sec tion. Bad blood had existed between the men for some time. Edmonds' hog got into a field of Read some time ago and a hired man set dogs upon it The hog was badly bitten and a fight between Edmonds and the hired man resulted. Yesterday Edmonds and Read met in front of the qtore of B. F. fenny Gc Co., at Chadbourn, and a difficulty ensued. Read drew his pistol and shot Edmonds through the lungs. N. A. Edmonds, a brother of the wounded man, struck Read over the head with an iron bolt, but the latter escaped and boarded the Wilming ton train, from which he was taken at Whiteville and placed in jail there by Deputy Sheriffs J. F. Benton and Thompson. Edmondson was brought down to the hospital in Wilmington accom panied by Dr. N. A. Thompson this morning, on the belated Southern train. The ball took effect back of the man's neck and is supposed to have entered the lung. It has not been lo cated. VR. JAMES CH4RLES CRAFT.

HOME FOR AGED Commendable Action Looking to That End Taken by the Grand Lodge Yesterday. V Durham Chosen as Next Place of To-night Trip Down the River To-day Secret Work of the Order Exemplified Proceedings in Detail. Morning and evening seuions and a delightful trip to Wrightsville Beach in the afternoon were sufficient yes terday to occupy the time and enter- talu handsomely the two hundred odd visitors to Wilmington who are here in attendance upon one of the largest meetings of the Grand Lodge I. O. O. F., in the history of the order in North Carolina. Additional Grand Repre sentatives and others, qualified to sit as members of the Grand Lodge ar rived on -every train during' the day and the large and splendidly appoint ed Castle Hall is being taxed to, Its capacity to accommodate the large crowd. The weather, "while not al together characteristic of this climate, was good in the main and the scheme of exercises and entertainment was not interfered with. The morning session opened yester day at 9 o'clock, Grand Master Griffith in the chair and all other members in attendance. The chaplain, the Rev. F. D. Swindell, D. D., offered a very fervent prayer' and the Grand Lodge then turned to routine and secret work of the order. Steps were taken to more firmly establish the work of the Daughters of Rebekah i the State and following that perhaps the most important matter for the con sideration of the Grand Lodge at this session was taken up and favorably acted upon the establishment of a home for the aged and indigent members of the order in connection with the Orphans' Home at Golds boro. At the session of the Grand Lodge in May, 1897, the question was brought up on a resolution by Rev. Chas. O. Durant and Mr. Richard N. Hackett. At the conclusion of a very forcible speech by Rev. Mr. " Durant, a sub scription of $310 was taken for the purpose of forming a nucleus for a fund toward the building of a home, but for one reason or another, Interest lagged and only $285.92 including in laterest of the subscriptions were col lected. This was placed to the credit of Grand Treasurer Jones as a "special fund" and is now held by him. Suc ceeding sessions of the Grand Lodge allowed the matter to rest un til Grand Master M. W. Jacobi at the meeting of 1901 made the recommendation that arrange ments be made to care for the depend ent ones at their own homes, the asso ciations of home being too tender to being broken in old age. A monthly allowance, it waa stated, would do much to' brighten the last days of the indigent members. At that session Col. Jno. F. Bruton and Messrs. W. C. Richardson and M. C. Deal as a committee for consideration of the matter, reported the building of a home as impracticable and'favored the idea outlined by Grand Master Jacobi in his report. Subsequently a com mittee composed of Grand Treasurer Richard J. Jones, of Wilmington, Mr. S. H. Taylor, of Winston, and Mr. T. M. Stephens, was appointed to consider the matter and it was upon their re port as follows that favorable action was taken yesterday: "Your committee, appointed at the last session and now having the mat ter in charge, have thought best to lay the whole subject before the Grand Lodge, so that the members 'could ex amine for themselves the different opinions expressed by the, various committees and brethren! before sub mitting our report, and with It our plan for carrying out the original proposition. 'we have gotten all the informa tion we could glean from the reports furnished the Grand Becretary by the several lodges and find that there are a few to whom the "helping hand" of the Grand Lodge should be extended. But we do not believe .that the propo sition to give them aid In the way that some of our counties give aid to their "out-door poor" is at all feasible. or the proper one for this Orand Lodge to adopt in aiding its indigent brothers, however sentimental that sugggestion may be made to appear. 'we, therefore, most heartily recommend that the original proposi tion be carried out, and in submitting our plan for that purpose, with all of ita necessary delay, we are uot un mindful of the fact that there are now some few who need aid; this fact,how- however, only adds strength to our be lief that there is a greater and growing necessity for a Home to shelter them. and we should lose no more time in beginning to set on foot some plan for raising the money to build it- We therefore submit the following: To the Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. of North Carolina : "Your committee, to whom was re ferred the subject of caring for the 'aged and indigent' of our order, bees to say that we have given that aubject our most careful consideration and from all the data before ns. unhesitat ingly indorse the original proposition, as we believe there is more or the ele ment of brotherly love in it than anv other plan that has been suggested. Realizing the fact that old and heln- less Odd Fellows who, from the results of adverse circumstances, have been unable to make provision for their old age, and having no relations able to care for or support them, are now to be round and soon will be round In larger numbers within this jurisdiction and further recognizing, that through their long connection with our order, they have an undisputable claim upon the same; therefore. m.

That, noon the annroval of the Grand Lodge, at its annual session In ivuo, by resolutions authorizing the erection -of the "Home for the Aged aud Indigent," the funds bo accumu lated, together with the special fund now in the hands of the Grand Treas urer, shall be expended in the erection of a building upon the grounds of our Orphan Homo at Goldsboro. ODD FELLOWS Meeting Will Adjourn Sine Die Sd. That the building, when com pleted, shall be open for the admission therein of aged and indigent Odd Fel lows and the helpless wives and widows of such. 4th. That a per capita tax sufficient for tho support of the in mater ahall each year be levied by the Grand Lodge. 5th. That the control and manage ment of the institution shall be vested in the Board of Trustees of the Orphan Home and that the Superintendent of Orphan Home shall be Superintendent ex officio of the Home for the aged and indigent Odd Fellows, their wives and widows of such. 6th. That whenever the Grand Lodge shall order the erection of the Home for the aged and indigent, the Grand Treasurer shall turn over to the Trustees of the Orphan Home all moneys which have accumulated for this purpose together with the "special fund" now on hand, and then his duties as Treasurer ex-officio shall cease. Feeling remarks upon the resolution were made by Grand Treasurer Jone, who was the leader in the movement; Mr. Eugene P. Albea, Dr. J. H. Stephens, Rev. C. O. Durant, Mr. W. D. Gaster, Grand Secretary Woodell and others. The resolutions were at length adopted unanimously with en thusiasm and at the suggestion of Dr. Stephens, Rev. Dr. F. D. Swindell asked a special Divine blessing upon the work. The morning session adjourned at 1 P. M. and at 3 o'clock nearly 200 of the visitors left Front and Princess streets on three chartered suburban cars for a trip to Wrightsville Beach. The local committee of arrangements was in charge and members of the Lodge and their friends, including many ladles, enjoyed a delightful out ing. They returned to the city at 6 o'clock, much refreshed and ready for tho night session. The Evealug Session, The night session of the Grand Lodge lasted until near midnight; much time having been consumed in exemplifying the secret work of the order. After the formalities of opening, Past Grand Master B. W. Murray, of Greensboro, offered a resolution that the session adjourn sine die after to night's session. The resolution was adopted. A telegram of fraternal greeting from the Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. of South Carolina, now in session in that State, was received, and one of the same tenor was forwarded in reply. A receas was taken, and Grand Sec retary Woodell exemplified the secret work of the order. Third degree mem bers were permitted to be present. Place of Next Meeting. Upon the reconvening of the Grand Lodge, the place of next meeting was taken up. Charlotte was nominated by Mr. B. W. Barnett, of Charlotte; Durham, by Mr. Thos. M. Stephens, of Durham, and Goldsboro, by Mr. N, Jacobi, of Wilmington. A vote re suited as follows: Durham, 70; Char lotte, 49 ; Goldsboro, 19. Grand Mas ter Griffith declared Durham the choice of the Grand Lodge. Upon motion of Mr. Eugene P. Al bea it was ordered that a veterans' jewel be presented to Past Grand Master Junius 81ocomb, of Goldsboro, who has been a member of the Grand Lodge for 25 years and has never miss ed an annual session since he joined, The motion was adopted with enthu siasm. Past Grand Master W. D. Oast er eulogized the life and character of the late A. H. Williams, of Oxford, who waa so deeply interested and was such a valiant worker in the establish ment of the Orphans' Home at Golds boro. Upon motion of Mr. Gaster, it was ordered that a portrait of the de ceased be procured by the Grand Lodcre and placed in the Home. Past Grand Master C. B. Edwards, of Ra leigh, was delegated to carry out the spirit of the motion. Big Trial In Brunswick. Walter P. Gifford. Esq., is back from Boone's Neck, Brunswick county, 35 miles from Wilmington, where he was counsel on Saturday for George W.
