Six guunli accompanied him, and the de tuns of iueu from the Eighth Infantry wero under arms to preserve order unoutf the mobs which it wan supposed would gather.

The great anti-trust banquet here Thursday night was attended by 1,445 leading Demo crats from all parts o! the country. Many able addresses were mad . In. terest centered chiefly in the speech of Hon. W. J. Bryan. Among other things he said: The influence of these trusts has become so enormous that the people, without respect to party, are asking themselves how the evil can be remedied. The purpose of the trusts is to control the product of some articles of merchandise, and the methods employed are, first, the union of all Individual factories under one management, or in one corporation, and, second, the crushing of new rivals. A monopoly when once complete not only dictates terms to those who buy products, but it also dictates - A. 41 1 a . lesrms lo mose WHO fell the raw material, and to those who furnish the labor. If the trusts are permitted to continue we shall find an industrial aristocracy growing up in the United States, which will prove at destructive of our ideals as a landed aristocracy would. The principle of mononolv is incompatible with our institutions. Man's necessities compel him to be come a purchaser, and where there is but one seller the purchaser is com pletely at the mercy of the seller. The government would be guilty of gross neglect if it permitted an individual to recure a monopoly even without execu tive assistance, but it is still more cul pable if by legislative act it furnishes the mears by which a monopoly is ee cured. The corporation is' the means now employed by those who seek to se cure a mopoly. Since the corporation if a fictitious person, created by the law, the power that creates can regu late, restrain, or annihilate." a a R MR- WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. J " i 777.

The Presbyterian Assembly. 11 t r ma iuchmosd, va., npeciai. The ses sion of the General Assembly Wednes day witnessed the transaction of a great amount oi business, a notable inci dent was the according of the rights of associate membership to the Bey. Williams, the delegate from the Inde pendent Colored Synod, who came to speak upon the question of colored evangelization. After the Assembly had voted to accord these privileges, the moderator extended tho welcome of the Assembly in a few well-chosen words, the commission all standing, Rev. Williams responded briefly. Very Warm Weather, With in Sections. The weather during the first half of eek ending Mondav. Mav 22. 1899, was very warm and dry, the tem perature rising to above 90 degrees at most places. Light rains occurred on the ICth and 17th in the west, and were general on the 16th in the cen tral and eastern portions of the State. Hail did considerable minor damage on the 18th in parts of the following counties: Green, Craven, Pitt, Car teret, and Pamlico, and alight damage uccurreu aiso m a lew western conn ties on the 16th or 17th. The latter part of the week was cooler and gen erally cloudy, with more rain on Mon day (22d). Whilo tho temperature for the week was above the normal, the 19tb, 20th and 22d were cool enough to check the growth of vege tation to eomo extent, especially cot ton. On the whole reports continue favor able. Rain is needed in south-central and western counties; elsewhere con ditions are satisfactory. Considering tho lateness of sprint?, crops are now fairly well advanced. Farmers have been aative in clearing crops of grass and weeds. Replanting has been com pleted in sections where crops were destroyed by hail last week. Planting is nearing completion, though much tobacco has yet to be set out in north ern counties and the settiner of sweet potato flips is ju6t under way. Chopping cotton is now general. Cotton is nearly all up except replant ed, and the stand is good. Cool nights are beginning to effect tho crops un favorably. Corn is well grown for the length of time it has been in the ground ; the stand is excellent ; the nrst cultivation is in progress every where. Cut worms are injuring the crop in many counties, especially on low lands. Early tobacco plants are being worked out, the crop is growing well ; flea-bugs are damaging tobacco in a few counties. Transplanting has not yet been completed. Peanuts and rice are up. Wheat is heading low, but appears to show a long, well de veloped head. The Irsh-potato crop, from present appearances, will be large and fine; plants aie blooming generally. Digging will soon begin in the east. Irish-potato bugs are nu merous and destructive. While gar dens are backward they show steady improvement, and vegetables are abundant in the markets. The straw berry season is practically over in the east. Fruit of all kinds is dropping from the trees. Prospects for grapes only good.

Judge Clark Exposes a Subtle Plot How Many Colleges Have the Gold Bugs and Trusts Captured? Dewey Bought a Ticket. eu Commodore Dewey left Wash- it vi in November, 1897, to take eot imd of the fleet in the ' Pacific Ocnao, he did not ride on a pass or a naif Tate ticket. Being a personal friend of S. It. IJege, general agent of the Baltimore & Ohio passenger de partment in Washington, the now famous sea fighter, bought two first class tickets from Washington to San Francisco via the B. and O., Chicago and North-Western, Union Pacific and Nouthorn Pacific lines. Lieut. Brumby accompanied the Admiral and they de parted on November 27th. Sometime nj,'o, manager of Passenger Traffic D. 11. Martin of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, set out to collect the coupons of tho ticket and only recently secured all of them. He has had the ticket, containing Dewey'a signature, litho graphed, and is issuing fao similes as souvenirs. Referred to Presbytery. Minneapolis, Minn., Special. In the Presbyterian General Assembly, D. A. Glass, of Baltimore, caused a Bur- prise by introducing a resolution di recting tnat ut. Artnur j.

The resolution also directed that the Roman Catholic be invited to participate in the conference if Dr. Brown should deem it wise. Shoving the Queer. A stranger has been circulating counterfeit money right freely about Clinton. The counterfeit is a one dollar coin of the mintage of 1882. It is very cleverly done, differing from the genuine dollar mainly in color and weight. It is lighter iu weight and darker iu color than the genuine. The stranger came from toward Parkers burg, via Boykin's Bridge, where he got off a dollar on Mr. Fred Royal He went on to Clinton and got off several dollars on merchants there. He then returned toward Parkersburg on the same route that he came. He was a white man and wore a long moustache. A Gcorrja Farmer Shot and Killed by a Nefro. Mai on, Ga., Special.

The Sanguillys, Lacret, Yidal, Mayia Bodriguez and all the late members of the Cuban Military Assembly, aided by the oppo sition newspapers, are advising the Cu ban soldiers not to give up their arms not to sell the souvenirs of the heroic struggle for liberty" and "not to part with honor for $75. " General Brooke, of course, will proceed with his pro gramme without needing tne opposi tion. Imperial Assent Given. Pkkin, By Cable. The imperial edict has been issued giving assent to the building of the Tien Tsin-Chin Kianfi Kailroad. This completes the work of Baron Von Heyking, the retir ing German minister to China. Judge Walter Clark in the Arena. There is a proverb over two thousand years old, and as true now as it wan when first written: "Beware of the Greeks, especially when they bear gifts" Timeo Danaoa el dona fercntca, as the old Romans quoted it from Virgil, but in plain English, "Beware the enemy bearing gifts." This ancient proverb finds modern application in recent donations by the representatives of the great trusts and other aggregations of capital, secured by the pauperization of the people, donations ostensibly made for the education of the nation's youth. There are some who have deemed this mereiy an instance of vanity on the part of men who, having more money than they knew what to do with, think to im mortalize themselves and earn fame by returning to public- useja small part of the sums they have abstracted from the common stock, by syndicates and trusts. There was never a greater mistake. These men are not devoid of vanity, but they are not wooed by it to confer benefits upon those whom they have injured. There is a deep, well-laid design at the bottom of this giving, and its motive is self-interest. 1 have bofore me a pamphlet, issued by that eminently respectable association, the American Bankers' Association. It is a pamphlet which is not sent to every one; in fact, is a rather private and ex clusive affair. Its cover, like its contents, is gold tinted. At the session o that association, as far back as 1889, it passed this resolution: Resolved, That the Executive Council is hereby directed to carefully con sider, and, if possible, devise some feasible plan whereby this As ociation may encourage or promote the organization of a school, or schools, of Finance among our institutions of learning, and report upon the same to the next Convention. At the next convention, in 1890, in the address of Professor James, de livered by request and approved by vote of the association, he said it was a pleasure to discuss the subject of establishing these schools before a body of men "who have unusual means of influencing public opinion in regard to it," and added, that it was possible "to revolutionize every college in the country." He reported that Mr. Wharton had already "secured the establishment of one such school," at the University of Pennsylvania, bf the gift of one hundred thousand dollars to the University, fie went on to say that "beyond all question, in this country Uie greaLmerohaoi-r prince, the railroad president, the great manufacturer and banker, have succeeded to the place of power once held by the great oiator, statesman, lawyer, or clergyman. The professional class in losing ground, the business-world gaining it. Whether for weal or woe, the control of government, of society, of education, of the press, yes, even of the church, is slipping more and more rapidly into the hands of the business classes, and it is this class, which, to an ever increasing extent, will dominate onr practical and social life." "Down with manhood, up with tho dollar. " The proposition is at least dearly stated. Further along in his address, Professor James speaks of the ex- Mamxa, By Cable. The Filipino commissioners left here by special train Thursday. They will be escorted to their lines under a flag of trace. It is expected that they will return aoon. President Goczaa, president of the Filipino commission, before bis de parture, said: "We greatly appreciate the courtesy shown us. We have spent some time with your commissioners. incidentally considering the American constitution. - Its principles iruprnun us profoundly.

Some of the members of the North Carolina Corporation Commission will attend the National Convention of "Railway Commissioners which meets at Denver, Col., August 10th. Judge Clark, of the North Carolina Supreme fimirt. has been invited to deliver an address before the convention. . Sunday afternoon, at Chase City, Va. , Walter Wogstaff, a young marrieci mer chant of that place, shot James Hayes. ae 21 years, in the neck, inflicting a fatal wound, perhaps. Wagstaff had forbidden Hayes to visit his house, but the latter disregarded the warning. The shooting took place in Wagstaff's front yard. A now anaesthetic is announced which lias "proved a success," aim win displace cocaine, the reports say. The philosopher's stone of the medical pro fession seems to be anaesthetics. And no sooner is one found and "proved a success" than the doctors try to see if they can't find something that will dis place it. The trouble is that the per fect means of deadening pain has not been found, without running some risk of killing the patient Chloroform may send a man off with heart fail ure; ether" may work all manner of trouble with a man of weak lungs, and cocaine may turn a man into what is known technically as a "fiend." Eu caine, the new aspirant for honors, like several of the latter ones, enables a man to retain his consciousness fully and watch the operations performed on him with an almost impersonal inter est. A man thus obtains a knowledge of his insides that he could get in no other way; he learns how fearfully and wonderfully he is made, and if he doea not In future take better, care- of his body than most men take H will not be the fanlt of the drug. - together for such purposes, are characterized as having "the narrowness and selfishness of the meanest hayseeed of them all." This address was endorsed by a vote of the association, afterward printed and discreetly distributed at its expense. An argument that seems to have carried weight, was, that the students in the proposed schools of finance would become journalists, lawyers and college professors, and, by their influence on public sentiment, would well justify the argument suggested. In the plan of these schools adopted by the Convention, the necessity of "preserving great estates" is prominently brought forward, and it U observed that the students of institutions thus "aided," become free from "delusions," and instructed as to "the necessity of permanent nuiformity in tegrity of the coin unit." It is easy to understand what. "delusions" the Amer ican Bankers' Association proposed to educate out of the minds of students. Among the numerous extracts from letters to the Association from heads of universities and colleges, anxious to be prostituted, and which are published in this pamphlet, is one from a Southern college president, in which he says: "It is better to have such schools as integral parts of long-established and popular institutions, than to set them off by themselves. In this way they can reach a large number of prepared and influential students, sooner than in any other way. The study of finance and public economy infringes on the question of human rights. And as moral principles depend for their power to make vivid and lasting impressions, on religious sanctions, it must follow that those sohoola in which the ethics of Christianity find a place, are best suited to teach the rights and wrongs of financial policies and economic systems-" It takes no keen insight to say what sort of financial teaching the Amer ican Bankers' Association proposed for these schools to be established in col leges, by gifts of one hundred thousand dollars each, and for which church colleges were to be preferred. Another of the nnmerous letters from college pres ident), published in the Bame pamphlet, with approval, nays that every college shonld have an endowed school of finance under the providence of the Ameri can Bankers' Association, and adds: "Wealth could not be better employed than in the endowment of schools of finance;" and another says: "It seems to me they are the most efficient antidote against heresies on enrrency questions." It is hardly necessary to point out that these gentlemen deem as "heresia" any theory concerning currency, taxation, or government that in any way menaces the monopolization of capital and natural privileges. Thus, as in the scripture parable, while the people slept, the enemy is busy sowing tares. As far back as 1890, as this pamphlet shows, the bankers, aided and abetted by certain college, were laying deliberate plans to captnre the financial educatio'n of college youth. How far this plan has been carried out, we do not know, as tho reports on this matter have been suppressed since 1890. We do know that donations to colleges, and the establishment of finan cial schools have been frequent, and announced with intense laudation, as well by the newspapers that are controlled by the money power an by those that 'are honest, but deceived as to the real motives of these gifts. The Turkish Janizaries were Christian boys taken from their parents when young, reared and drilled as Mohammedans, and then used as a select body of troops to repress the aspirations for liberty of those of their own blood. We want no imitation of that policy in the colleges of this land. Raleigh, N. C. . Walmb Clark. Otis' Report of the Tight Washington, D. C, Special.
