Farther answering, tho defendants say that it is not true, that the new rate was made without notice to the com plainant ; nor is it true that the de fendants before making and promul gating tho rate informed the com plainant that no order would bo made by it changing or otherwise afLict- tne rate or. charges as then made. The answer further denies that he Jtailroad Commission is in any ense a court and that the entering of the record in the United States Circuit Court and the tiling of the bond constitutes a removal of the action into their court. Not only was a day set by the Commissioners for a re-hearing of the case before tho rates went into force, but that thny were subject to a revision of the State court ucder laws of the Stato i f North Carolina creating the Kailroad Commission, and upon fil mi; i a proper bond in the State eourt the enforcement of the order fouM Lave been stayed uutil a fiaal dms-ion should be made therein. It is denied that the new rates are or just and unreasonable; that any Ion would occur to the Western laion Company when required to tranHtmt messages at the rate pre scriU, tut that a fair and reasona ble protit will be derived therefrom, ul if applied to the Western Union's wire sjstom and busineFS of trans ritting messages, would enable it to maiutain its lines, defray operat lcU txpenses, and pay dividends opin its actual capital inves'ed, both in its entire business and in its business in this State. The defend' juts go further and declare their be lief that if the same rate should be 'stall isdud by every State in the tniOQ.

'That in the year 1303, the com plainant purchased other telegraph lines whose actual value, as the de fendants are inf rmed and believe, was less than $150,000, and paid the same by issuing therefor $322,000 of its capital stock, and in the same year declared stock dividends, with out any basis therefor, amounting to $1,078,000, thus increasing the capital stock to $11,000,000, and soon thereafter, and during the yearl8C4 without its stockholders having paid into its treasury any further sum of money, or without any other prop erty or other thing of value having baen purchased as a basis therefor, it declared stock dividends to the amount of $11,000,000, thu3 increas ed the capital stock to $22,000,000. That in the year 186 the com plainant purchased the' United States Telfgraph Company,' worth at the time only $1,443,000, and paid there fore by issuing $7,210,300 of its cap ital stock, and also purchased the 'American Telegraph Company, worth at the time only $1,500,000. and paid therefor by issuing $11,- 833,100 of its capital stock, and thus increased its capital stock to the ag crreeate amount of $41,049 400, and soon thereafter another stock divi dend was declared without anv basis therefor, to the amount of $5,0GO, 000. A purchase was then made of the 'American Union,' and Atlantic and Paciflo companies, worth &bout $3,232,00U, for which account the capital stock of the complainant was added to the sum of $19,080,000. and immediately another stock dividend, without any basis therefor, was de clared, in the sum of $15,000,000, thui increasing its capital stock mH the year 1895 to $95,000,000, and on the first day in January, 1897, the complainant declared to the defend ants herein, that its capital stock was $97,370 000. Thus showing as defendants allege, over $00,000,000 representing less than $10,000,00 of actual value and more than $37, 000,000 of other stock representing a value not ascertainable in detail consisting chiefly of stock dividends, issued with no basis in actual values. That the total actual expenditure of the said complainant from its organization of money de rived otherwise than from its bonds will not exceed $10,000, 000. That it has issued from time to time, and has outstanding $15,000,000 of bnds which added to theaforasaid $10 .000.000, would make a total of $31,000,000. That as de fendants are informed and believe, many of the lines purchased herein before set forth were utterly worth less duplicates, built solely to be bought eff by the complainant, and in some of which many of its officers and directors wt re largely concerned so that they were personally intel ested in selling at exhorbitant prices; and that nearly all of said lines are much depreciated in value. That complainant pretends, that it owns and operates 190,000 miles of line, 800,000 miles of wire, and 23,000 of fices.

He spoke of North Carolina and its illiteracy, and he said he pre ferred North Carolina with her illit eracy to Massachusetts with her loose morals and catalogue of crime. He was not afraid of illiteracy so much as education without Christ. Ite considered the swamp negro and the ignorant mountaineer less dan? gerous to the body politic than a sharp, shrewd, educated bad man. No education was better than a non- Christian education. "Ignorance is not the cause of crime, it's meanness. Your education will not get rid of the meanness. It may develop it unless the education is Christain education. Christ-un education cannot be got from a school whose teachers are simply Christians. It is to be had only from schools whose teachers are Christians and whose foundations are laid for the sole purpose of giving Christian ed ucation. ' ' DR. THOMPSON'S CRITICISM. These sentiments and others in the lecture were much discussed yesterday-Secretary of State Thompson, Attorney General Walser, buperin- to us by our father-, a living, loving monument of their wisdom and vir tue, under whose shelter we to day jive and i urish as a people. Notwithstanding tho tact that since the days of my ms j mty I have offi ciated with the Democratic party and as yet have found no reason why I shonld depart from such a course, you may think it ftrange in me to introduce a speaker who is filled to the brim in the principles ot Popu lism, Advocate Jcllcrtoalaa DcaMcracy. Yet I am frank to confess that some of the principles of Jt Sersonian Dem ocratic government is to-day being advocated by him who comes to speak to bis countrymen, and tell them cf their oppression and the causes and remedy as he sees it, and it becomes every one of us, fellow citix:ns, it makes no difference to what political party we belong, to ot aiiim Jnu r Bryan, that if ported of tha gold tU mfBt sti!! it hiding in its c-Juscilf. woa'd to del be worthy of iu grand a d trUndid leader. lie told the ptorle hov bv the bb remittiEg toil of the Ponaliets it came 10 pass mat to dy we Lad the Ul cf a divided Rerablieaa UrtTt neaota by benatar Tllr atd his able coadjutors who werw working m nae witu tne 1'eo pie's party and all other patriots and in foil sympa thy with all the reform forces, look ing earnestly for the tihef tht Niali.

The school law of the last legula ture with the referendum feature therein, came in for a full shard of commend vtion, and the Senator de clared that never while the Populist party had the power, shonld the poo pie ever be forced to pay the addi tional school tax therein propesid, but by their own free will xpressed at the ballot box.

Married Man Said to Have Ran Away With a Fourteen-year old Girl. Charlestown, W. Va., Oct. 21. Last week a large band of well-to-do Gypsies encamped on the banks of the Potomac, near Shepherdstown, this connty. Among them was a fourteen-year-old girl who attracted a great deal of attention as she went about the streets reading the hands of the men and forecasting their fu tures. And it was in this quaint old town that she unconsciously forged a link in her own chain of fortune. A young man named Nailer Harri son, who was stopping at a hotel here, enchanted with the maiden's gypsy beauty, made love to her and won her a flections, resulting in an elopement on Monday. The failure of the girl to return to camp on Monday night created alarm among the gypsies, who immediately sought to find their missing favorite in the village. Here it was ascer tained she had eloped with Harrison, and diligent search failed to reveal the runaways. It has been developed that Harri son is a married man with a wife and two children, who are now in Balti- lectnre, Dr. Thompson, Secretary of a course Senator Butler approves of, andsmen o bothJthe cid par ies gaij UUin m Inn wm vh tvA.

I listened to him carefully. At first I thought he had been mis represented. Asj he went on and concluded, I was convinced that, as had been reported to me, there vfdt four things in his address, to wit; (1; A covert plea for monometalism; (2) a somewhat bolder plea for monopo ly; (3) a heartless attack upon the university and public education; (4) a very eloquent and masterful plea for ignorance. "No other conclusion can be de rived from his address than that he is at variance with and opposed to the fundamental principle of person al liberty, which is the very germinal idea of all this great American re public. He finds fault with the re ligious toleration of our constitu tion, while at the same time he ap peals to Methodists to stand by Trin ity, to Presbyterians to stand by Da vidson and to the Baptists to stand by Wake Forest. "If he had lived in King James and we are glad to say that his rec ord, daring the last political cam paign won for him the admiration and esteem of all honest men. He has shown to the people by his public record, that he has put the principles of good government and the interest of the People Abort Party and personal consideration. He has proven himself loyal to the cause of free silver aid an avowed enemy to the trusts and monopolies, and he gave his hearty support to that great est of living Americans, William J. Bryan. Only a few months ago he with other true Populists, expelled from the ranks of the Populist party, those traitors to their trusts, who sacrificed their principles for gain after having been placed in the leg islative hall of North Carolina by the suffrages of an oppressed people. Such a course, fellow countrymen da serves the admiration of all true pa triots, it makes no difference to what to me "we approve of the benator s course in Congress," and only one of them before the speaking qualified this by saying that he as yet "was not in accord with him in regard to the leas9 of the North Carolina Rail road."

Frank Waterhouse, President of the Foit Wrangel, Glenora and Teshn Lake Transportation Company, passed through this city on his way to Lon don, England, to appoint agents and arrange for transportation of pas sengers right from Lurope to Daw son City. From England first class fare will be $1 000; second-class, $750. These amounts include the trans portation of supplies and other nec essaries for one year. The company will have a line of steamers plying between ports on Paget Sound to the head of naviga tion on the Sticken River, a distance of about 130 miles from Fort Wran gel. From the river to Teslin Lake, a portage of about 135 miles, pack trains will convey the travelers, it being intended to have about 1,000 horses on the route. Thence on Teslin Lake and the river course to Dawson City, a distance of about 450 miles, boats now in course of construction, are to be used. aw Quarantine on S juthera Cattle Raited.

In many cases, the first work of Ayers's Sarsaparilla is to expel the effects of the other medicines that have been tried in vain. It would be a saving of time and money if experimenters took Ayer's Sarsapa rilla at first instead of at last. and would have made of him not only a bishop, but an arch bishop. If he knows, he seems to care nothing for popular oppression or human misery. He pleada for every existing political evil, omit ting the liquor traffic. Any cry of burdened humanity, I gather from his address, awakes in him only the ennui of the well-fed churchman, who would cry peace when there is no peace. In the face of all that Dr. Josiah Strong has said from the standpoint of a loving and broad minded Christian soul, Dr. Kilgo cries out: 'I am tired of men, with their hands upon the fevered brow and pulse of this nation predicting evil. "With all the eloquence he can command he cries: (Hush!( in the face of every wail of human bitter ness. He damns the spirit of dis content with present attainments discontent which alone gives birth to progress and prophesies better things whether in affairs spiritual or temporal. It was discontent that wrought the reformation. I take it that Dr. Kilgo would have qielled it. It was content that threw off British tyranny. I take it that Dr Kilsro would have cried out at that time that all is well. At Kinston at the last annual Con ference he wanted the Conference to adopt a resolution favoring an in crease of taxation sufficient to run the public schools six or eight months in the year; the argument of his address leads logically and in evitably to the complete destruction of the whole fabric of public education. "His position upon this question cannot differ from the position of Catholicism. The earlv vears of a man's life are ih formative years, A Olorloai Mltalen. Let us then all march in solid phalanx against the common enemy. though we march in different divis ions, yet we can nght successfully, for in the efforts of the people strug gling for their rights, there is some thing glorious, when they can go, not in military and disciplined masses, but man for man and heart for tert.

SYNOPSIS OF SENATOR SUTLER'S SPEECH. After thanking in a pleasant man ner Mi. Lassiter for his kind and complimentary remarks, the Senator imposed on when it declares that the Populists rejected the Democracy ' offer of State fusion. Tne Pjpuliit first made that eff-r to th-j Demo crats, and it was rej eted by the Democrats, sad to say. O ir c jnt m porary has been misled, like so many others, by the braz n assertions of the Charlotte Observer and of the Raleigh correspondent of that paper and of the Wilmington Messenger. The blander was corrected by the Observer at the time, and freqient'y since by Webster s Weekly aud the Ooterver, but without effect upon its reckhsj propagators.
