ITS ETHICS IDENTICAL WITH -THOSE OF CHRISTIANITY. The Rise to the Socialistic Plane Cannot Be Brought About by War, or Bloodshed, or by Vilification. There was a small audience in the court house last evening to hear Dr. W. C. Bowman's lecture, "Are the Princi ples of Socialism in Harmony Wioh the True Science of Civil Government?" Dr. Bowman began his lecture by referring pleasantly to Asheville and the very marked changes that had come to the citv since he knew it a quarter of a century ago. Dr. Bow man was at one time pastor of Cen tral Methodist church in this city, and then a professor in the Asheville Fe male college, and was considered one of the most brilliant men in the Hois ton conference. Dr. Bowman's life has been marked by many geographical changes and by mental tergiversations not a few. He has been a Methodist, a Universalist, a Unitarian and a Spiritualist, religious ly, and a Democrat, a Republican, a Populist and a Socialist politically. And he has 'been able and ready to give strong reasons for each and every one of the faiths that have been in him. He was without any education whatever until he was 19 years of age, but after he started to school his vigorous mind did imore in a session thin many an other could accomplish in five. He soon was principal of the school, a preacher and a professor. Dr. Bowman lived in Bakersville, Mitchell county, and -when J. C. Priuehard (now Senator) came from Johnson City, Tenn., to that vil lage, he made his home with Dr. Bow man. Pritchurd being a printer a news paper -was soon started, with Dr. Bow man as editor. Dr. Bowman was then a Democrat. "It was not long," said Senator Pritchard a short time ago when speaking of the incident, "before I had succeeded in getting in some good Republican ideas, and before the old g'ntleman knew it he was running what was practically a Republican pa per." In one of the political campaigns of those duys (Dr. Bowman being then a Republican) Joseph S. Adams, then a mere hoy, was anonuneed to speak at Spruce Pine, in Mitchell county, and Dr. Ban-man was induced to go over from Bakersville and discuss political issues. During the discussion Mr Adaims repeated an incident he hud -witnessed a few days before. At the boarding house in Bakersville there was a man noted alike for his wit and love of whiskey. He was sitting at the tab.e, fairly drunk, when an idea struck him, and he began to bawl at the top of his voice to the landlady and said, Do you know that as soon as date Bowman found out there 'was no bell he joined the Radical party." (Dr Bowman had but recently announced his conversion to Universalism as well as Republicanism). This joke knocked the Doctor out and he left the canvass. JJr. Bowman is now 64 years of age but is wonderfully well preserved, and an. pa1Tenty as vigorous as he ever was v.- ,?Jawma began by saying that his subject was a question asked. He had long since ceased to be dogmatic He was a seeker after truth on univer sal principles. It would be impossible for him to discuss his subject in one lecture. It would require at least three biwks to cover the field one on social ism one on civil government, and one to compare the two to see if thev jwre tn accord. He wanted to talk to his aud,ence in 'the spirit of inquiry! Sc ene is not dogmatic. The univer sal intelligence had done away with the acceptance of a thing as true be cause of traditions. The days of the past were days of faith, not of 'thought The present was different. As Inger soll put it, these are the days when it !LnhfmS?ild "Ft that hat'h ears bear hr but ",he tn,at "kas a brain let him think. "First. I will state what the princi ples of Socialism realdy are," said Dr Bowman, "then what the true science or civil government is, and then compare the two. This must be done 'by going to the bottom of things I must begin with definitions. But a cor rect definition could never be gotten from a partisan. If you want a true definition of Romanism you could never get it either from a Protestant or from a Romanist. So it is with politics. You must go the dictionaries and encyclo pedias for a correct definition." Dr. Bowman believed they were accurate Websiter's definition of Socialism is "A theory or system of social reform which contemplates a complete reconstruotipn of society, witih a more just and equita ble distribution of property and labor. ' Th? Kncyclopedia Britannica's defini tion says "The ethics of socialism are identical with the ethics of Christi anity." These. Dr. Bowman thought were just and accurate definitions. Thousands of people look upon. social ism a-; anarchy, which means conflict, competition, discord, capital aginst la bor, labor against capital. The pur pose of socialism is to do away with conflicts and competition, and to es tablish concord and co-operation. He did not think that the definition given by tihe Encyclopedia Britannica meant that the ethics of socialism were iden tical with the ethics of Christianity as taught by modern theologians. It meant tihe Christianity as taught by Christ Himeelf. Christ came to es tablish a new order of things. When the rich young ruler came to Christ he told Him he had kept the law "and it seems that he had kept about every thing else in sight," said the Doctor, but Christ Bad told him that he lacked one thing, and that one tJhdng was that he must "shell out." This was the spirit of true Christianity, and we would have had a Christian socialism today if Christianity had not been switched off the track by a mysterious theology. Christ had begun right, and it was kept up until some began to lie about the price of land. Ane tthese characteristics of true so cialism -harmony, accord, oo -operation In keeping wrth the true science of civil government? Civil government does not mean' despotism, but the greatest good to the greatest number. The preamble to our constitution an nounced the true principles of civil government when It said: "We, the people of the United States, in order to Mil S DISCUSSED I j r ' - .. m . . - - iii I i form a more perfect union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, iwovrae- i or cne common defense, pro mote the general welfare, and swx-ure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity, do ordain and es tablish this Constitution for the United waaies oi America." This did not mean discord, struggle, competition. Ije thought the principles of socialism Iden tical with those principles of the Con stitution, as well as wfuh the principles of true Christianity, and If adopted would put an end to competition and inaugurate co-operation. It is true that most of tihe people of the world think that the condition of competition is the right condition. This was true because it had been taught by our ancestors -and as we are taught so we are. Some try to use nature in her lower or ders, to prove the correctness of their assertion that competition is right. - In the animal kingdom the big fish eat the little ones and the large animals and beasts of prey destroy the weak and helpless. From this they would have us believe that 'the strong and shrewd should starve out the weak. But nature in -her lower orders has no rational economy, and we find none till we rise to the human plane. Competition means destruction among the lower animals, and surely man ought not to emulate them. Man had recognized tihe banefulness of this law in the vegetable kingdom of na ture, and had corrected it. The crab apple would have been eternally a crab apple but for civilization and cultiva tion. Man had taken it from the com petition with the shadows of the great trees and -had put it in the sunshine, and the luscious fruit of this mountain country was the result of this devel opment. The horse would have been eternally a scrub but for the fact that man had taken him from the competi tion and struggle with which he found him surrounded. Surely man ought to be good and wise enough to do for him self whan he has done for the lower or ders. But how is it to be done? some one will ask. Will not human nature have to undergo a radical change? No. There will have to be a great change, but no change of human nature. The greatness and glory of man are the pos sibilities of change in him. The emer gence from t'he savage to the highest type of civilization is because of change. It would be a marvelous change from a condition of competition to a condi tion of co-operation, but human nature could accomplish it. No child should be taught to beat anybody, but to help everybody. Everybody now tries to beat somebody else. All for each and each for all, is the true spirit. Reform is the only hope for uplifting the world. No change of na'ture was necessary, bu: a change of education was impera tive. The consciences of today are le gal, not moral. A legal conscience Is one tha'i asks, What will the law allow me to do? They do not ask. What will help my neighbor? They do not ask wha't is right when they are making laws. Blackstone had said the true ob ject of law was to "command what i. right and prohibit what is wrong." In stead of this modern lawmakers license what is wrong. There must be a change in the standard of conscience and of education. There must be a change from egoism to altruism. Society should be as a family when one suffers all suffer. Men should live for each othe: and not against each other. All should be as brothers and sisters. "Man's inhumanity to mian make? coun'tless millions moum." The spirit of love and of Christ should prevail, and not the dogma that makes this world an insurance company against the contingency of fire in the next. And this more just distribution of things is not to be brought about iby war. There is no need of blood. Tht free ballot of the citizen can right every wrong. The leoturer was sorry to see that many -had lost faith in the suc cess of peaceful methods. War is an 'awful thing. You may as well set fire 'to a country and burn it for the same 'lengah of time as to go to war. The American citizen who will not vote right, might not shoot right. The money that buys ballots may touy the bullets. We must - take the power out of the hands of the plutocrats, trusts, combines and corporations. This can not be done by denunciation, either. Rich men have become rich by wha. they believe to be right methods. The average la'boring man is in much the same condition as the horse, the mult or the ox. He is working for his own er. It is the laws and customs thai make alike tihe millionaire and the pau per. They are hatched in the same nest. But we should not vilify, but reason whUi men. Like Tom Paine, "although a warrior he had never used any weapon but reason." These evils must be voted down. Confiscation would not do not by anarchism. The right of eminent domain should be ex ercised by the government, and ihere should be public ownership of pub lic recessi-ties. Public necessities should not be run in the interest of private capitalists and millionaires. Coal and oil and other products were not put in the ground by the Almighty for th( benefit of a combine, but for the people who inhabit the earth. As at presen: run when you want to send a telegram from one station to another, you must pay a bonus that will make millionaires of the men composing the corporation, as well as' make a pauper of yourself Monopoly is the curse of this age, and must go down or society will 'be crush ed. Dr. Bowman closed by saying that he could see 'the time wihen the voice of the people would be the voice of God, of justice and of righteousness. The axe is laid at the root of the tree, the fan is in the hands of the people, and they would talk to kings, emperors, combines and trusts. The earth will again be the Lord's and will be run in the interest of the people. Dr. Bowmain will remain in the city for several weeks, perhaps, and lecture again tomorrow, Friday, at 7:0 p.m. in the court house, and his subject will be "The Weakness and the Power of Modern Christianity." WHILE CROSSING THE TRACK. Carriage Occupied by A. J. and T. B. Lyman Run Into. Last night while returning home from the opera house, A. J. Lyman and T. B. Lyman had a narrow escape from being, run over by an engine on the yards of the Southern railway. The carriage, which belonged to Charles Greenlee, wus almost complete ly demolished. The driver was in the act of crossing the track in the vicin ity of tihe depot, and his attention was centered in a passing freight train, when an engine on a nearer track backed into the carriage. It 'is said that no warn.ins toll rung on either side vf the engines, and that the backing engine had onlv a small red light on the tender, while there were good lights on the carriage, The carriage being closed, the driver could not easily see the backing loco motive. The Messrs. Lyman were thrown out and considerably bruised. Leg Broken. About 2:30 this afternoon while Geo. Wilson, colored, on employe of the Biltmore estate, was riding down South Main street near Sycamore his horse was frightened by an approaching trol ly car, reared and fell back upon the rider. Both bones of Wilson's right leg were broken by the faM. The injured man was removed to the estate. 11 He Will Not be Hanged Be fore January 26. BILL FIFE AS A PROPHET RALEIGH NEWSPAPER NEWS NOTES. Tax Delinquents Autograph Letters Exposition Car-Caldwell's Appeal -Butler's Threat. RALEIGH, N. C, Nov. 24. Special. The Governor respites John Evans of Rockingham, convicted of rape, until January 26. Maxoy L. John of Lauriniburg filed with the Governor a number of af fidavits in the John Evans case, and also a petition for a respite. Other pe titons have been filed yesterday and to day. John C. Dancy, colored, who wus here today, said the negroes in the State thanked the white people for their action regarding this case, and that the African Methodist conference at Louisburg, over which Bishop Hood presided, had adopted resolutions of thanks to the white people. The Secretary of State says he feels sure that much "overhead insurance" is being done in this State; that is that unlicensed companies are insuring peo ple in the State. It seems that there are to be no more indictments of delinquent tax payers until the case argued from Johnston county is settled by the Supreme Court. Bill Fife, the evangelist, is now play ing the role of a prophet and tells the people of a piedmont town that it has been revealed to him that if they do not get on their knees in sackcloth and ashes there will be a plague in their town within 90 days. A prominent man sruggests that Mr. Fife ought to have waited until spring before making this prediction, so as to get the benefit of the warm weather. Editor Furman of the Post looks for ' a. lively campaign next year, i The News and Observer proposes to issue its afternoon edition. There is evidently going to be a sharp battle be tween the two Democratic papers, and the issue of the afternoon paper is a hit at the new morning daily for "in vading the territory" of the old one. It is whispered that the News and Ob server many buy the afternoon Times. All this week it has set the latter's type. Up to this afternoon the pur chase had not been made, however. In ararnging the mass of public docu ments in the State auditor's office au tograph letters of Washington, Jeffer son, Generals Nash, Gates and Sum ner, Brevard, Jo. Martin, William Blount, Richard! Caswell, Joseph Hewes, Robert Roiwan and many oth ers have been found. There is one let ter from Cosmo di Medici, whose name the North Carolinians anglicized to Cosimo de Medeachey, following the pronunciation. T. K. Bruner is arranging the exhib its in the "rolling exposition" car here. From the State museum he says only duplicate specimens are being taken. The collection of fruit, grapes, etc., spe cially prepared -by Herbert Brunley, is the finest in the State. Mr. Moore, one of the owners of the car, has bought the best agricultural products exhib ited at the fair in the State this year, so that line of display will be fine also. As to the specimens of woods there are over 75. L. C. Culdwell today docketed in the Supreme Court theappeal in his case against J. W. Wilson, involving title to the chairmanship of the railway com mission. R. O. Burton of counsel for Wilson spoke of this as an unusual proceeding. Wilson has never filed his copy of the case on appeal. The ques tion is has a winner of a suit (as Cald well is) t'he right to bring an appeal to this term, when the loser has the right to bring one to the next term if he thinks proper. One of Caldwell's coun sel today made a motion before the court for the advancement of the case. One convict from Rutherford ton ar rived at the penitentiary today. It is his second term and he hud been out only six months. Mrs. Watson was taken 'to Wake For est again today, in order that another use of the X-ray might be made, to lo cate the 'bullet which her brutal hus band shot into her side. Photographer Riggsbee of Burlington went to Wake Forest to develope the plate as soon as Prof. Lannean had completed the work. The Progressive Farmer this week contains a set of resolutions adopted by the Person county Farmers' Alliance, endorsing Butler and Russell and de nouncing the minority Populists in the plainest terms as "waitors." This has made the minority Populists angry and they say that Butler wrote the resolu tions himself, and forced their adoption with his usual threat, "I'll break you to pieces." It seems from what the minority people say that he must have used his threat a good many times in the not distant past. The Secretary of State charters the Twin City Furniture company of Winston-Salem; incorporators, T. F Wrenn, S. E. Weedon and E. H. Um stead. Capital, $5450. Cotton mill men here say that the methods of selling products has changed entirely; that now Che buyers let the mill men keep the products un til such time as they need them and do not put in orders ahead. Another new thing is that sales are now made at the customer's point of delivery. It is said the Coxe export company in augurated this oeiw system. The report of the bureau of labor statistics wiH say that there are in tbis State 21 cities and towns electri rat cally lighted; eight telephone compa nies; 13 telephone exchanges; six elec tric railway systems, and 75 Isolated electrKs lighting plants. Speaking of the 6 roller flouring mills In the State the bureau report will says "They are situated mainly in the western and middle sections and grind practically all the wheat groiwn in the State, making therefrom, as a general thing, flour equal to the best patent flour of the western States. A large majority are operated by water power." State Commissioner Hamrick return ed today from the northeastern coun ties and says: "They are the best part ot the State." He visited J. W. Bran nig's 'lumber mill at Edenton and says it is the largest in the South, employ ing over 500 men and has four acres of buildings and 15 acre3 of lumber yards. While he was in that part of the State he ate daily green peas and snap beans of the fall crop and also lettuce. SAVED BY DANGER SIGNAL PERSON WHO GAVE WARNING IS UNKNOWN. Dastardly Attempt at Train Wreck ing' Between Marshall and Alex anderDiscovered in Time to Avert a Disaster. A diabolical attempt at trainwreck ing was discovered this morning in time to prevent what -would most likely have been a fearful disaster. The wreckers apparently intended to derail the westbound Norfolk-Chattanooga train, and chose as the spot for the execution of their design a point be tween Alexander and Marshall. They drew the spikes from one rail, and then placed a ooek under it so that the end of the rail at the point was lifted some distance above the track level. A short time before the schedule time for the passenger train to pass this point a freight train came up the river, and it was brought to ta stop near the scene of the torn up track by a danger signal waved by some -person on the track. As soon as the train came to a stands-till the person who gave the warning extinguished his light and dis appeared in the darkness. His identity is unknown. The track was put in condition, and the two night trains passed safely over. Passengers on the eastbound train did not know of the attempted wrecking until they reached Asheville. It is possible that the Southern Rail way company will offer a reward for the discovery of the person or persons who plotted the crime. BRADY SUSTAINED. Opinion of Solicitor of Treasury Judge Dick. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. Judge O'Connell, solicitor of the treasury, has written an optnion, and it has been communicated to Secretary Gage, sus taining the action of Colector K.ady in every particular. The opinion agrees entirely with the rec nt semi-olficial utterances of First Assistant Attorney General Boyd. It declares that the civil service law does not apply to depu ty revenue collectors, and that the col lector can remve an.-l nnrvoint cnH if j ficers at his pleasure. The next step in the emasculation of the civil service law will be the removal of the government printing office from the classified service. The public print er today declined to give the employes of the office the usual Thanksgiving half-holiday, upon the ground that the departmental regulations do not apply to the printing office. This is interp reted here as significant of the change indicated. Judge Dick, .it is said here, is greatly troubled about the incident at the re cent term of the United States court at Asheville, when . he was presented with a silver service by certain United States commissioners. He has asked the Attorney General for a construction of section 1784, Revised Statutes. The opinion is intimated that the section does not apply to this particular case b cause United States comimssioners are not salaried officers. This intima tion, it is said, has been communicated to Judge Dick, and the matter will probably be dropped. In this connection, the positive state ment is made here as coming directly from Judge Dick, thtit he will retire from the bench in the early spring It is not expected that he will ibe able to preside at the December term of the Charlotte court.

The Secretary of State decides, as acting insurance commissioner, that ta Washington, D.

Yet If agents living outside of the State thus violate the law there ap pears to be no way of getting at them.

MADE OFF WITH SPOIL ATTEMPT TO RELEASE GEN. RUIS RIVERA. The Plot Failed Through a Misun derstanding, But the Spanish Re mained Inactive-A Reporter Ar rested . NEW YORK, Nov. 25. On last Sun day morning, for the first time in the history of the war, the rebels' bullets sought the Palace in Havana says a dispatch 'to the Herald from Havana. The shots came from Cassa Blanca, 600 yards across the entrance to the harbor, and while nobody was hurt, the Palace, with its electric lights, was a fchining mark and must have been hft. The Spanish authorities attempt to make light of the affair, but at the same time a reporter for La Lucha, who wrote ,up and attempted to publish the facts was arrested and is still in communicado. The attack on Casa Blanca was made by Brigadier General Rafael De Car denas and 50 rebels. They entered the town shortly before midnight on horse back and at the end of four hours each man led out of town his horse, wiih an extra one he had appropriated, laden with clothing, provisions, silver plate and considerable money. Before t'hey left they fired two volleys across vhe harbor entrance to the Palace, and cooly retired to a friend's house inside Spanish lines and took supper, pre viously ordered. All this was under the guns of Ca banas and Moro. The object of the rebels was to affect the release of Gen eral Rius Rivera and hang a Citizen named Fumeiero, known as a spy. They failed -in the first on!y because of some misconception regarding the appointed time on the part of confed erals within the prison, whh whom ar rangements had been made to admit the raiders within the fortress. Fu miero managed to escape across the harbor. The lines have been strength ened all about Havana. A $40,000 ERROR. An Insane Commander Costs Rus sia a Pretty Sum. VICTORL, B. C Nov. 25.
