HALL THI TBUITi OWI IBB B1MO- oiiiio mrr, auo i The great question before the peo ple at tbli time li "Shall the Trusts own the Democratic Party. Also?" That ai the object of the Cleveland boom which the Brooklyn Eagle launched last year, and which so lc gloriously f.iled-by "the first Inten tion." Mr. Olney's speech st that fake dinner at 8herry's In New York, on Monday night,' practically patting Mr. Cleveland In nomination, Is the econd stage of the movement. The Immediate object, of course, is to se cure the nomination of Cleveland, Olney,!or other Clevelandite. In that event, the Trusts would be in posses sion of both the great national parties'. The ultimate object ii, in the event of failure to secure the nomination of a Clevelandite, to enure such division In the rsnks of the Democratic party that It will fall prey to the Republi can! as In 1896 and 1900. We are glad to note that a portion of the Democratic press Is getting Its eyes open to the plans of the enemy. These plans began by the familiarizing the people with the idea that Cleveland nd Bryan stood on an equality at the bar of the Democratic party, and that the trne policy for the party was to teer desr of both and pursne s middle course. But that was founded on a fallacy: Mr. Bryan has always been Democrat and has never bolted; Mr. Cleveland haaitwlce betrayed the par ty, and, except for hls'belattd state ment that he Is a Democrat, no one knows what his party affiliations are. If the Democratic press had fought this fallacious proposition from the first, the party would now be in a position to avll Itself to the fullest extent of the blunders and wrong doing of Mr. Roosevelt who, by the way, would not now be President ex cept for Mr. Cleveland's assistance. Better late than never, and It is cause for renewed hope that Influen tial papers are st last opening their eyes to the situation created by the success of the plans mentioned. Says the Norfolk Vtiglnlan-Pilot: Observing the trend of things In the political world and a more or less sig nificant volubility on the part of trust newspapers, the VlrglnUn Pilot sev eral daya ago had occasion to warn the Democracy that it would be easy to put too high an estimate upon the value of the support of the Wall street outfit, which la clearly minoeuvreing to have its man named on the Demo cratic ticket. That view has called out Interesting opinions from two leading Southern newspapers, the Raleigh News snd Observer snd the New Orlesns States, to which atten tion Is Invited. The Virginian Pilot having said that Roosevelt is too hon est to suit the boodle element ol his arty, the News and Observer says: This article was reproduced in the Observer of last Friday. Ai regards Roosevelt, 11 is not so much what he has done as what the trust pirates are afraid be will do that makes them antagonistic. Roosevelt is beeditrooir and likes to have his own way. Tbs trust pirates feel that tbey cannot rely upon bis absolute subserviency if he is sleeted and tbey re satisfied with nothing less than absolute subserviency. Tbey look np on any show of independence as a pieee of effrontery and any exhibition of a desire to be honest as a pieee of lolly. Now, Roosevelt is temperamentally truculent, not subservient. Ej is 'wil ling to trim and eoneeds as a political exoedient. and does it. Bat he he. lived so maeh m the oten sir that be hates rsatraint and the Wall street crowd is afraid that once elected he wonld follow his bent and do as he pleased. And tbey are probe bly right Tbs ehsneea are that be would do pre ' eisely that thing. Ai tor the trnst control of the San- ate, that is a laet, 01 eonrse, but onr contemporary will see on rtfl action that this doe n't help the traits soy at this time. It isn't new ar.ti trait legii lation that they are afraid of. It ii thi enforcement of the lawi already on the statute booki tbat they fear. Roose velt's grand stand play in the railway Merger ease and the resultant decision of the eoart showed that the Sherman anti-trait law ean be made very for midable, and tbat threw a mortal dread into the whole trnst orew. Therefore what tbey want Is a man in the White Boose who will stand without hitching ana who will permit the law already on the itatute booki to remain a dead let ter, at did Cleveland and McKialsy. And if they can get that sort ot man, they do not ears a rap whether be is Democratic, Republican or mugwemp. And tbs danger to the Dimoeratie party is that the intelligent people of the country know this and are watch log to see if it will riss to the trust bait and name a Wall street Han Fri day. Cootsrning the same view the New Orleans States eayr: We qnite agree with the Norfolk Virginian Pilot tbat the ehanees of Democratic victory have never been so bright in many years as they are to day, became the country ii disgusted with the Republican party and its eendali, extravagances and untnrpa tlooi. - The people deiire a change: thsy want to get rid of Roosevelt and are ready to vote the Democratic party into power and thns put an end to tbe Brest that ixists in tbe bnilness world, bat it will be an easy matter for the Democracy to throw away its chances Oar Norfolk contemporary says that disaster will be Invited it tbe Demo ratis party pats too high an estimate the value ot the support of the trusts mho at the preseot time are apparently hostile to Roosevelt. While tbeir Money may be valuable in a campaign, it is not everything by any means. The piople count, aad they think for tbeaMelvea la increasing namberi every jest. 'That feet,' nmaiki the Vir ginian Pilot, 'behooves the Democratic ratty to keep la aslpd at this jaootnre.' 1 does not believe that tbe Democrats aa deNat Roosevelt ia 1904 with a orporetloa hack on aa aatitrast plat Iwm, asd jet tberaUmoeh reasoa to fear tbat this is tbe sort of combina tion tbe hungry politicians of tbe part; are preparing to pot np." Precisely; there ii not in onr mind the slightest doubt that if the profes sional politic! tni have their way they vt ill make a dick r with Wall street, and we do not believe tbat if they do tbat Roosevelt can be beaten. Roose velt has a way with him (hat takes with the people, and if the Demooratio party gives him a ohanee to pose, be fore tbe people ai a martyr to trost enmity, the chanoea are tbat he will weep the country with a hurrah cam palgn. And, as our Raleigh contemporary ay. it tbe Demooratio party surrender! to Wall street it will deserve to be de feated. "BOI IBITBVCTID II THI LOHO HIITOBT OF TIIIDOat ' The Washington oorreapondent of the Boston Herald recently wrote that paper as followi eoooerning the Presi dent: "Ha doei not possess the faintest conception of the great principles of civil liberty which are at the basis of government bere and in England, and which have made the individual a free oitmn. For example, he does not know what 'due process of law' means, and wonld determine charges against a eit xen after the fSebion ot the Ciar of Russia. He dad not know what 'free speech' signifies, and holds tbat those who oppose any ot the j'ngo poU ieiei with which he is enamored are traitors, sod be believes tbat tbey ought to be suppressed. This is a rough way of indicating what I mean by laying tbat Mr. Roosevelt has a lawless mind. I mean tbat his mind lacks reverence f r tbe fundamental principles of law, for tbe majesty of tbe law in which he does not believe aa well as of that law which baa his approval, and for tbe orderly processes ot the tribunals of law. This vice is acorn moo one, common to those wno act from impales aod are oot iostruoted in tbe long history ot freedom, and be cause it 11 common it is the more eiseu tial tbat those wbo have to do with tbe execut.on and interpretation of law should feel that veneration for these ancient privileges which are so obvi ously lacking in Mr. Rioeevelt and so characteristic of Mr. Cleveland, tor ex ample." Troe as gospel that, every line of it with exception of tbe last two lines. In these tbe correspondent falls into a grievous error, for there is nothing to choose as between Cleveland and Roosevelt in tbe matter of a "lawless mind," of "lack of reverence for the fundamental principles of law." and of want of "instruction in tbs long histo ry of freedom." It was Mr. Clveland and his secretary of Slate, Mr. Oiney, wbo established tbe precedent that tbe Executive had complete power over the question of recognition of new govern mentr; and it was Mr. Cleveland wbo sent Federal troops into tbe State of Illinois without beiag ealled upon, as the supreme law of the land requires, by tbe Illinois legis'ature or executive.

Diara or CAmia a a wouaki This community was shoeksd by tbe announcement Sunday morning ot the death, the night before, ot Captain Arthur B. Williams -It is probable tbat a majority ot onr people heard ot the sad event shortly after it occurred, for the telephone rapidly bore tidings of it to all quarteri ot the town. He bad not been well for several weeks past, but reeently appeared to be re covering his usual robust health, and was ehatting pleasantly with friends np town as late as 5 o'clock in the af noon. After tea, he enjoyed tbe com pany ot his family aod retired about 10o,olock."Anottril'iil6olt"o&e5f his daughters heard him breathing heavily, and, on going to his room, found him dead. Death had appar ently eome painlessly and without a struggle. Captain Williams was born in Fey etteville, and would have completed bis 61st year on tbe 16. b of next July. He was educated at the schools of Fayette etteville.iooiuding tbe Donaldson Acad emy, and shortly before the war en tered the North Carolina Military Academy at Charlotte, ot which Hill, Charles Lee and Line were tbe rank ing professors. Upon the outbreak ot CAPTAIN" ARTHUR B yiLLIAM3. the war he was cffareii a lieutenancy in Brem'i Charlotte Battery, though but 18 years of age. and served with great gillaotry io that fine organisation throughout tbe war. On March 1st, 1S64. he became eaptain of bit veteran battery, and distinguished himself in the terrible campaigns which ensued, notably at tbe Wilderness on the morn ing of tbe 6:h of May, when his well served guns held the enemy in cheek on tbe plank road until Longstreet came up. He surrendered at Appomattox Court House, and ended bis four years ot arduous service with the reputation of ooe ot the best artillerists of his rank in tbs army. Since tbe war, Captain Williams has taken an active and leading part in tbe affiirs ot bis natire town and county, He was Mayor of Fayetteville in 1874, and, at tbe time of bis oeath, was Chairman ot tbe Board ot County Commissioners, whieb important office be h ad held for a number of years. He was tbe leading spirit in the laying out and constroction ot tbe fioe i s em of county roads which bas wrought such a ehabge in the life of the people within a considerable circle about Fayette ville, and be was a careful and con seientious public servant, taking great pride in tbe performance of bis duties. He had been a Director of tbe Chamber of Commerce since its organisation in 1897jtnd was noted for bit regular at tendance at all meetings ot the Board aod Chamber. He served with great aeeeptibility on most of its important committees, md his good judgment and knowledge of men and affairs were ot great benefit to bis colleagues in pro moting tbe object sought. Perhaps the most important civil position held by Capt. Williams was his presidency of the Centennial Celebration ot 1889, and for which be secured a pbenome nal success. Captain Williams was a consistent member of tbe Presbyterian ehu.sh, in which faith he was bora and raised. He merried in 1867 Miss Attelia Nasb Whitted, of the well known and icfli ential Bladen eoonty family of that name, wbo survives bim, togethsr with fonr ions, Messrs. John D , Arthur, Ambrose and George, and four daugh ters, Misses Elixa, Fannie, May and Jane. Captain Williams succeeded bis fa ther, the late Mr. John D. Williams, in the conduct of bis large business, and bas been a prominent figure in tbe mercantile lite ot tbe community nearly ever since the war. He was, like bis lamented father, a man ot great public spirit, and was one ot the three gentle men (Col. Starr and Mr. F. W- Thorn ton being tbe others) who gave to Fayetteville tbe LaFayette hotel, one of its moet important and useful insti tutions. Hs was kindlytolerant, conservative and generous, and moat gentle and considerate ot the feelings of others, but lion-bearted when roused to tbe perfoimanee of doty in great crises. He was a man of magnificent physique and commanding preeenee, attracting attention in any gathering. He was tbe soul of honor, and trne as steel to bis friends. He was tbe friend of tbe poor. He sympathised with tbe die stressed. As God gave bim light, be was jost in bis dealings with all men. Lawrence Dspew, brother ot Uoitel States 8enator Cbanncey M.

A correspondent ot the Baltimore Sun, referring to tbe dinner . that was to be given In New York last night, at which Mr. Cleveland was to deliver the chief speech, says t Praotioallr every section of the eonntry and svery taction ot the Dem ocratic party will be represented at the dinner, with the exception ot the Bry an element. Mr. Bryan will be on tbe oeean on his way borne from his trip to Enrooe when the dinner takes place, and therefore he was not invited. It is notieeable that none ot tb leaders who were prominently identified with. bis campaign! as adherents of his doe trioes will attend tbe dinner. All the parry wit be represented at this harmony dinner "exoept the Bryan element." Well, that is good, consid ering the fact tbat Mr. Bryan is on all hands conceded to have the largest following by far of any single Demo crat; tbat be carried the country in 1S96 (tnd only tailed ot being Presi dent because he was cheated oot ot his victory by Mr. Cleveland's allies-); and tbat nothing bat the Philippine war prevented his carrying it in 1900.

Net earnings were great er than than ever before. Gross earn inga amoonted to $18 610 815. aod op-, erating expenses $12,136 977. There are 14 652 men employed 'against 11.401 for tbe previous year.

The recent statement by Major Gen eral Bates tbat tbe army is overstocked with green and undeveloped youths is indorsed by otber cmcers ot bigb rank Tbey nnitein recommending a change in the requirements for enlistment tbat will prevent the entrance of so many of those callow youngsters ioto tbe army. Oa tbe otber hand it is shown from the statistics of the federal armies of tbe eivil war tbat they were composed of this lame kind of youths by a very large majority. Tbere were enlisted in those armies 104 987 boys nnder tbe age ot 15 yean and tbe w bole number ot soldiers in the union armies who were under 21 yesrs of age was 2.159, 798. Over 21 years of age the total enlistments were 618511. In otber words, nearly three fourths of (he union soldiers were minors and non voters. Perhaps tbii amaxing analysis af fords tbe reason wby so many of tbe union soldiers so suffered from wooade, disease and hard usage as to make nearly every one of them a pensioner of tbe government. Tbeir yooth ren dered tbem peculiarly liable to perma nent iojaries and diseases as tbe eonsqaeoses of the bard service they bad to undergo. It was notable, also, in the Spanish American war enlistments bow many of the soldiers were yoong men below tbe age of 21 years. Bat with all their enthusiasm, patriotism and cheerful ecdnranee of camp and fighting lite, it seems pitiful to oppose armies of our boys to tbe trained and sturdier troops of other countries. It we are to bare otber wars it wonld be both wise and merciful to have tbe views of General Bates snaeted and to exact, if need be, tbe eerviees in tbe ranks ot a greater percentage of tbe fully grown aod sea soned adnlts of the nation.

How forcibly this presents to us the faot tbat we, too, will soon be numbered with the past Childhood the springtime of life with many of is already past, while youth and strong manhood the sum mer of our lives with all their oppor totities, and the obligations that we owe to God and onr fellow man, whether they have been improved or cast away, will soon begone forever.
