The people of North Carolina ought
to be proud of Wadesboro. We have
never heart) of anything in the way
of hospitality quite equal to that be
stowed by the people of this noble old
town upon the scientific persons who
came among them to view the Eclipse.
The citizens held a town meeting
some weeks ago, and made prepara
tions for a welcome to their expected
visitors that was entirely unique. " By
a published programme the latter were
notified that every house in the town
was to be considered by them as if it
were their own. If one of them should
take a fancy to stop for rest or to gratify
any passing whim, he (or she for
there were some of the fair sex among
them) was to understand that he could
enter the nearest house that struck' his
taste v without so much as saying "by
your leave," and there make himself
at home. If he wished to ride, all he
had to do was to hail one ol the car.
riao-e8 which were provided for. pat
rolling the streets, and his wish was
gratified, and without cost. And so
on, and so on.
The following letter in the New
York Sun from its correspondent sent
out to Wadesboro for the occasion,
shows that the remarkable efforts of
her noble citizens were not wasted
upon unappreciative recipients of her
excellent provision. Other letters of
similar import were sent by the rep
resentatives of the London Times and
other great papers to those journals.
The Sun's was written the day before
the Eclipse, and, among other things,
said:
Of all the places within the track of
the solar eclipse to-morrow morning
there is none where so many men of
science, have gathered as here. Like
wise there are none where the prepara
tions for observation are so elaborate.
Prof. Hale, of the Terkes Observatory
corps, said to-day that never before in
the history of the study of eclipses were
preparations for observioir every detail
of the phenomenon anything like on so
large a scale as those that have been
made here. They are oomplete to-night
to the smallest partienlar. Of the foor
great groups of observers posted bere,
the Smithsonian, the Princeton .Uni
versity, the Yerkes Observatory and
tne British Astronomical Association,
every man is ready for bis post and
every one of the dozen or so fixed in
struments is trained and aimed to the
shade ot a shadow of a vanishing point
of aeeuraey at the exaet spot in the
heavens where the sun will be to-morrow
morning when the time keepers
signal that the swiftly rushing moon
shadow is npon us.

The eastern sides of-the hills on
which this beautiful little Southern
town stands have from a distance the
appearance of being fortified. It bris
tles witb astronomical artillery. . The
polished tubes of the great telescopes
gleam in tbe sun like brass field pieces.
and tbe glittering surfaces of many
mirrors, in tbe brilliant light which
has shown all day, keeps np a belio-
graphie play npon the green underly
ing hills which stretch in a magnificent
sweep leagues and leagues away to tbe
horizon. If one did not know that it was
only to bombard old Sol with personal
questions that all these batteries were
drawn np some of tne ordnance would
look formidable enough.
The rage for optical instruments
started by the scientists has fairly
swept the town and everything in the
snap of a tube is in demand. As yet
Wadesbotw spurns smoked glass. Xbat
will do very well tor- the lay, masses.
We in Wadesboro do things on a dif
ferent basis. We observe eclipses, we
don't merely look at them. . Everything
in the shape of a lube with a lees in it is
in demand. Old spyglasses that have
lain in dusty nooks ever since the days
of the war are brought and burnished
up. Even such of tbe darkeys as have
got over being a little shaky about
the Day of judgment lurking in the
background behind all these strange
doings, are beginning to develop a
tendency to accumulate battered sec
tions of eaves spouts.
And, speaking of tbe darkeys, those
of them who are reassured about tbe
Day of . Judgment have - accepted
it as an article of faith that tbe only
place where the eclipse will be visible
is Wadesboro, and cot only Wadesboro,
but the particular fields where the sci
entists have pitched their tents and
pnt up their queer-looking machinery.
The darkey mind associates these men
and their apparatus witb some sort of
a show. Several ot them to-day asked
the professors bow much they were
going to charge to let people into tbe
elipse" and if "eullud" oixs eouia go

Tt ia thn can Aral verdict here that
there will be tbe worst feared lot of
darkeys in this part of North Carolina
that there has been since the days of
the Charleston earthquake. That ap
plies more particularly, of course, to
tbe darkeys remote from towns. Those
who live nearby will come rolling into
town by early dawn under the eonvie
tion that here and here alone can the
eclipse be seen. . And the visitors bere
will not all be ot tins class oy any

is eoming from Charlotte and will be
made np of people who are as in

they are to see the eclipse itself.

TlUt SOUTHERN HOSPIT AUT T.
The people of Wadesboro have risen
np to the reeeption ot their larsra nnm
ber of visitors with a hospitality worthy
of their beautiful town. There ia all
that friendly cordiality of welcome on
the part of alfethe citizens of tbe plaee
which is fully ia line with the best
Southern tradition of kindly welcome to
tbe stranger within the gates. They
have thrown open their homes freely
when the hotel accommodations were
exhausted, and ia addition have put
halt a dozen or more fine carriages at
the service of everybody who wants
them. The carriages patrol the streets
constantly and any stranger in town
may call them and be driven wherever
be wishes to go without money and
without price.
On Friday evening the ladies of tbe
town gave an impromptu reeeption to
the ladies of the astronomical parties
and on Saturday evening Prof. Young
ot f nnceton and Kev. Bacon of tbe
English party gave popular lectures on
the subject of the eclipse at the Opera
House. All tbe English visitors, the
Rev. Mr. Bacon included, wear Ameri
can flags in their bats wherever tbev
go and have their headquarters on tbe
hillside likewise bedecked with Stars
and Stripes. ,Oa the other hand, the
f nnoeton people returned tbe compli
ment by raising the English flig at
their headquarters in honor of the Eng
lish visitors.
WHAT THE ENGLISH PARTY SAYS.
Rev. J. M. Bacon, head of the Eng
lish Astronomical party, (the onlv
English Eclipse Expedition sent to
America), said to Mr. Boylin, of the
Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer,
among other things:
In my letter to The Times, as
well as in my telegram, I stated that
onr reception here had been charact
erized by lavish hospitality; that every
possible attention had been shown us
and everything provided tor our com
fort with an unstinted band. The
courtesy and kintlness shown us ex
ceeds anything in my experience, and
our impressions of Wadesboro will be
among the very happiest of our lives."

The Administration newspapers
freely declare that the anti-imperial
ists rejoice in the national dishonor of
tbe Cuban postal frauds. Nothing
could be more unjust. Every patriotic
American is filled with shame that
our country should be held up to tbe
derision of Europe. The anti-imperialists
for saw and foretold wbatavould
happen, for fraud and peculation seem
almost inseparable from the govern
ment of a satrapy. - The carpet-baggers
who swarmed, to tbe South after
the war taught us what to expect from
the carpet baggers who swarm to the
Spanish islands. When Warren Hast
ings was accused of peculations in In
dia he is reported to 'have said that
when he considered his opportunities
he was amazed at his moderation.
The - opportunities in the territories
taken from Spain are such that the
politicians and adventurers who will
be sent out by this Government will
find it hard to resist. ..The anti-imperialists
foresaw this, and it is one of
the strongest reasons why they are
anti-imperialists. .
It is to be devoutly hoped, but not
to be expected, that the scandals al
ready unearthed in Cuba are not the
forerunners of a 'general robbery by
the carpet-bag governments. Before
he left the Philippines General Otis
issued an order in which he hinted
that the American officials were en
gaged in wholesale plunder. .
TheDlario de Puerto Rico of the
iAth of May calls attention to the non
payment ot X2,ooo,ooo to tbe island
government, as ordered by Congress
some time ago. This is the amount
collected in the customhouses of the
United States as duty upon goods im
ported from Porto Rico. The Porto
Rican paper says:
"We all expected that the f 2.000.-
000 which were to be returned to us
would serve to make up the deficit in
our monetary medium, but up to this
writing tnere is no sign to indicate any
disposition in Washington to send us
anything besides codfish,' rice, bacon
and beans, the wherewithal to win
good will and proselytes in our local
politics."
The paper also bints at a scheme
which, if a fact, would cause great
chagrin in the island. It says:
"It is already being rumored that
the two million dollars will be used in
canceling debts contracted by the mil
itary government which was here im"
planted and : for which we are
not to blame; a military regime
which misspent - hundreds of
dollars in the" construction of
roads which do not exist; in public
works which are unknown, and in
God knows what other enterprises and
reforms, and we say God knows, be
cause the citizens of this island have
been kept in total ignorance as to the
amounts collected and their inversion,
no budgets having been published, no
accounts rendered and no-formality
having ever been discerned in any of
tbe governmental acts of the system
which ceased on April 30 last."
Kal-Admlnistratiea. . .
The history ot the Neeley-Havana
postoffios) robbery, with Its far reaching
ramifications, suggests tbe proposition
that the MeKinley administration has
never, since its inauguration, made the
sliehtect attempt to govern the United
States for the benefit of tbe people.
It is a monstrous accusation to make
against a man who was elected for tbe
very purpose, of being the chief . exe
cutive of a nation, .that, he has either
personally used his high office, or per
mitted designing persons to use it, for
the purpose ot so manipulating its ac
companying powers, that only a special,
favored few, could derive any benefit
from it. Whether Mr. MeKinley is a
particeps eriminis to the carrying out
of a pernicious, destructive series of
policies for which he stands sponsor, or
betber be is totally blind to tne duties
of his office and wholly misconceives
the object for which he was thrust
into tbe presidential ehair, it is certain
that bis administration bas become tbe
synonym of a demoralization that runs
the gamut of all sorts of tmeveries,
from the lowest speculating pickpocket
to the grand and magnificent bank
robber and postoffice highwayman.
To wreck a bank and destroy the
homes and hopes of thousands of poor
saving souls, laying by their scrimped
pennies lor tbe rainy day of sicxness
and old age, means a gracious pardon.
To east upon the wretched, weedy
sea of Wall street, millions npon mil-,
lions ot tbe people's money, is merely
a financial easiog of tbe money matket,
and to donate a few hundred millions
ot treasure to speculating , banks and
bondholders, while imposing a perpete
ual joke of constantly inereasing debt
upon the necks of the struggling, toil
ing masses, ia a masterpiece of financial
skill, a monetary blessing.
Perbaps our ideas 01 morality are an
wrong, it may not oe euoer a Bin or
a crime to steal, and to cheat, oppress
and rob the people may be a virtue.
As tbe matter stands the stealing of a
few bnndred thousands by tbe surprise
ing Neeley, may be an act of sanctity
to 'punish which would make him a
martyr, through a misapplication ot
our much despised organic laws, and a
ernel violation of our theories of extra
dition.

A Washington telegram of Tuesday
says:
Tbe Democratic members of the
House of Representatives held a caucus
in tbe ball of tbe House to night to
consider the trust question, which is to
be brought. before the House during
tne next tnree days, and other subjects
of legislation and party interest. The
caucus was attended by about eighty
Democratic members. Mr. McRae. of
Arkansas, acted as chairman, and Mr.
cumming8, of New York, secretary.
At the outset Mr. Richardson, of
Tennessee, offered the following fesolu
tion expressive of the party attitude :
. "Whereas there is known to be 1
large and growing surplus in tbeTreas
ory over and above the necessities of
tbe Government arising from the taxes
levied and collected under the War
Tax act of 1898, therefore, .
"Bewlved, That we favor the reduc
tion of tbe taxes provided for in said
bill, and we do not think the present
session of Congress should adjourn nn
til said taxes shall have been repealed
as to certain articles and reduced as to
others, until there is a total reduction
tn-the aggregate of at least 50 per
eentom. -.
- "We pledge ourselves at ail times to
support any measure or measures pro
viding for snob reduction." "
Mr. Ley, of New York, offered a
substitute protesting against Congres
sional adjournment nntil action has
been taken 10 reduce or repeal the war
revenue taxes.
. Mr. Riohardson supported his resolu
tion in a brief speech. The Levy sub
stitute was thereupon defeated and the
Richardson resolution adopted without
division.
" THE TRUST SV.L.
The trust question was then taken up,
Mr. Ball, of Texas, presenting resolu
tions favoring an adverse vote on tbe
anti-trust constitutional amendment
and a favorable vote on the proposed
Democratic anti-trust substitute bill.
The resolution farther provided that in
the event of tbe defeat of the substitute
support would be given to tbe Anti
Trust bill as reported.
Tbe resolutions broogbtout extended
debate and eonsiderable difference of
opinion as to the manner of dealing
with the trust issue. Ia the course of
the discussion Mr. Salmon,: of New
Jersey, intimated that without refer
ence to the action of the canons he
would favor tbe constitutional amend
ment; The Democratic members of
tbe Judiciary Committee, Messrs. Ter
ry, DeArmond, Lanham and others,
favored action along the lines of the
Ball resolution. ,
The Ball resolution was finally
adopted with minor amendments. As
to the substitute Anti-Trust bill the
resolution states :
"We believe thatlhe adoption of these
drastie provisions will demonstrate tbe
power of Congress to destroy combina
tions, monopolies, and the consolida
tion of capital familiarly called trusts."
Should the substitute fail of adop
tion, the resolution provides for sup
porting the Anti-Trust bill reported by
the ma jority. As to this measure the
resolution says : -
"While pot satisfactory to the Demo
eratio minority and not likely to remedy
tbe trust evil this bill does make an
effort toward harassing and outlawing
these enemies of the public, and Demo
crats are not willing to vote down any
measure tending to that end."
Tbe resolution further urges Demo
crats to vote against the eonstitntional
amendment nnless it be so amended as
to leave tbe States unhampered in en
aeting anti-trust laws.

In contemplation of the recent scan

long as there is a single rascal that can
devise a new and useful process of ac
cumulating riches, as long as there
exists anything valuable outside the
skins of our insular subjects, jast so
long the restraining hand of MeKin
ley's policy will forcibly divorce the
Constitution from tbe flag. If anyone

"If God does not save this govern

an, my impression is that this govern'
ment of tbe people by the people and
ior tne people is gone," - t
" Thus spoke Rev. F. M. Jordan, the
veteran Baptist evangelist., in the
Greensboro Baptist church last Sun
day.' ' .
Mr. Jordan is In Raleigh, and I ask
ed him if he had used these words in
his last Sunday's sermon, and he said
he had, and he added: "As I declared
my impression I noticed that one man
in tbe congregation shook his head.
and l made this reply to him: 'That
is my opinion. If you think God will
do it through some other agent, well
and good, but it is my opinion that
God has raised up Bryan to save this
government, and tbat the Nebraskan
is His agent to save the world from
the trusts and monopolies.' "News
and Observer. s "
Mr. Jordan would be right if he had
added the socialists. It is the only
nope to save our present Institutions.
It will be be -or imperialistic rule un
der the form of a moneyed aristocracy
or, tne reign ot the socialistic Democracy.--
. : -"";
If the Conservative Democracy, led
by Mr. Bryan, fail this 5 ear, it will be
tbe apparent success of the Moneyed
Power, but it will largely unite all,
who rather die than be slaves, under
the banner of the Socialistic Demo
cracy. The Moneyed Power will make
slaves. of the people, if it can; the
masses will never permit it, but will
fight under the Socialistic flag and
prevent it peaceably, if possible; but
forcibly, if necessary.
1 tie snip ot state of this country is
between Scylla and Charybdis. and the
conservative Democracy, under 'its
acknowledged leader, Hon. W. J. Bry
an, is tbe only power, which can keep
it from being dashed to pieces upon
the rock on the one hand, or enfimloh-
ed in the surging whirlpool on the
other. - YrY't

Mother's Friend
is not a chance remedy. Its good effects
are readily experienced by -all expectant
mothers who use it. Years ago it passed
the experimental stage. While it always
shortens labor and lessens the pains ol
delivery, it is also o the greatest benefit
during thb earlier months of pregnancy.
Morning sickness and nervousness are
readily overcome, and thelfniment relaxes

Are We Being Sovsrnsd According to the
CoastitatioaT -
Democratic Proof-Sheet.
The number of American repnbll
cans who do not care to have this na
tion wrecked upon the rocks of impe
rialism, by conferring upon tbe presi
dent, or upon congress, unlimited, un
restrained power and authority, is in
creasing at a rapid rate.
Prominent leaders in the Republican
party are constantly voicing the senti
ments of true American citizens, those
who love their country better than the
glitter of gold, or the rustle of the wat
ered stock of the monopolies. -t -
Representative McCall of Massachu
setts, though a staid Republican, is
one of those fearless Americana who
do not hesitate to express the danger
to which the pernicious policy of Wil
liam MeKinley is exposing the nation.
In his speech in the house against the
Porto Rican tariff bill, he enunciated
principles which have made this na
tion unassailable.
Have we under our system of gov
ernment an unfettered, irresponsible,
absolute power, unrestrained by our
organic law? The question doesn't
now concern Porto Rico or tne fniiip
olnes. We have gone beyond that to
the solemn fact of whether the consti
tution governs us.- .Can the creatures
of the constitution, congress and the
president, rise to a greatness superior
to their creator? Mr. McCall, with the
great body of the American people,
thinks not.
THR MEANING OF THE "UNITED.
STATES."
Mr. McCall says: .
"A great deal of learning, much of
it irrelevant, has been expended in dis
cussing the meaning of the term 'Uni
ted States.' It is patent mat tne
term could have been employed in the
constitution in any one of three dif
ferent senses, according to the context.
Bnt there is another and a broader
sense which- has. become justly fash
ionable since the war of the rebellion,
and that is that this government is not
merely a close corporation of states,
but that it rests in the people as a
whole, a body politic created by the
constitution. : v v
But the question .involved is far
beyond the dignity of any controversy
about syntax. Our revolution was
based on the idea that one community
had np right permanently to levy taxes
upon another - community, and tne
prime motive which led to the estab
lishment of the constitution was a de
sire to do away with the barriers upon
trade which were set up on the fron
tiers of each state. As our govern
ment is not a simple elementary gov
ernment but one of limited powers un
der a written constitution, the power
to tax and create barriers within our
dominion ; against trade, should, in
view of our history before the adap
tion of the constitution, be most strict
ly construed. The power of taxation
and the method of its exercise are con
ferred in the same clause and the me
thods extend wherever the power ex
tends. If congress has the power to
lew duties over an area com oris in?
territories then the rule of uniformity
applies to that same area. This is in
accordance with the primary rules- of
construction.
17 NOT CONGRESS HAS DESPOTIC POWER.
If eongress is not bound by these
limitations against taxing unequally it
is not bound by any limitations upon
its power in the constitution. The case
is conclusive so far as judicial authority
is concerned, and when we regard the
circumstances out of which our govern
ment and the constitution sprang, tbe
words of the taxing power, the direct
adjudication of their meaning, tbe long
line of authorities which deny the ex
istenee ot absolute power in eongress,
it is elear that the theory of despotic
power is aosoiuteiy repugnant 10 our
institutions."
Since Mr. MeCall's speech, fleet! ooted
time has overtaken the essentials of our
downfall as a republic. Porto Rico is
taxed without representation, a help
less nation now, bnt even under the
cruelties of the Spanish race, she bad
twelve representatives and four sena
tors in the Spanish cortes and helped
make laws for the whole Spanish em
pire. She had almost complete autono
my for her own local affairs and - a
million and a half in the treasury. Now
what f Nothing. Witness the Havana
postoffiee thieving for an illustration of
the methods employed.
LET US LOOK TO OURSELVES.
But why shed tears over the feeble
Porto Ricanst Let us reserve our
lachrymal fluid for our own extremity
when tbe full meaning of McJunieyism
shall have dawned upon us and finds
us as helpless as the Porto Ricans. We
have it in our power now to crush this
Aglioan imperialistic spirit which is
leavening the whole mass of the Re
publican party, and we owe it to onr
selves, bat more particularly to future
American citizens, that they be pre
served from the calamitous methods of
arbitrary power-
Enoueb has been accomplished al
ready in three short years of MeKinley
to require years of sweating toil to
eure, and the longer he sits at the head
of government as. a puppet for the
monopolies and tbe money power to
buffet with, the worse will become the
condition of the mass ot the people,
and tbe more difficult the removal of
the yoke of slavery.

. The AnU'Truit Measure.
The minority reports on the anti-trust
constitutional amendment and the anti
trust bill reported last week by the Re
publican majority of the house judiciary
committee severely arraign the majority
of the judiciary committee, alleging that
me proposea remedy against trusts was
formed for party and political considera
tions and not with anv real mimosa of
dealing with the trust subject.
Tanner hd me trust question, the re
port Bays that wnen it is found that the
chief of those whose duty it is to prose
cute offenders against the law persistent
ly "fails and refuses to prosecute any of
them, the question arises : Are we suier
ing most from a lack of law or power to
make law, or from a lack of officers wil
ling to enforce the law T We should not
drop into the notion of considering tne
law futile so long as we are afflicted with
executors of the law who will not so much
as try to execute it "
Tbe minority says that the arch-culDrits
of the trusts should be dealt with as are
those under the anti-lottery laws or under
"fraud" orders. They should be denied
the mails as the lottery and the swindler
are denied the mails. :
"Our conclusion is," the report says,
"that if the existing laws were enforeed
much would be done toward lessening the
trust evil; but those whose duty it is to
enforce these laws will not perform that
duty."
