IH IT FOHIBCT We notice In one of our exchangee the following news item : "There waa a strong effort by certain trustees of Wake Forest Col lege, to have the college dispose of ita Htandard Oil stock, bat the eff ort failed." What does thla moan? Ia it pos sible that Wake Forost College owns stock in the Htandard Oil Tniat? Iii a church college in co partnership with the gigantic 00 tonus In its un-Chrlstianlike bus! nesH in its illegal business and its Infamous methods? There must be some mistake about this. Did Christ make terms with the money fhnnrrnrti and accent HORIO of the m ill-gotten gains and Justify him self on the ground that he would use the gift of the money-changers in the interest of the cause of re ligion? No. He rebuked the money changers and drove thorn from the temple. Should a church college (or any college for that matter) ac cept a part of the ill-gotten gains of the money changers and wink t thlr robberv of the people and their desecration and pollution o God's temple, or should they fol low Christ's example and drive them out? There must bo some mistake about this, for surely the thousands upon thousands of good, Christian and godly people who make up the BaptlHt Church in North Carolina would netar consider or tolerate for one moment such a monstrous proposition.

We should also have a system of dfreet legislation. We are all sup posed to be believers in a democrat ic! form of government, and eertam- ly a government granting to tne people themselves the right to re view and ratify or reject acts of leg islatures is more democratic than a Irmr has issued his farewell ad dress to the army. After pathetic reference to the straggle for inde pendence, he appeals to the Island ers to support the Americans in the effort to establish a safe govern ment. He contends that as soon this is done the Americans ean have bo farther excuse for remaining in the Island. The address is a very sensible and politic document, and if acted upon by the Cubans to the ex tent of establishing a government of law and order, the Administration will have to remove its military force in tna or else bene its own declarations. representative form, for the reason hat it rives the Deoole a more di rect control over legislation. Sneh a system would remove the corrupt log influence of wealth now so prev alent in our lawmaking bodies. For the same reason Federal Judg es and Senators should be elected by the people, and the office of the for mer limited to a term of years. The People's Party is the only party pledged to these reforms. Perhaps there is no man who gets a greater amount of adverse .criticism from the monopoly press than does Governor Pingree. of Michigan. It is because Governor Pingree is mak iog a fight against trusts and other illegal combinations of capital, and not only that, but ismaking the kind of fight which, as Mr. Bryan says it takes courage to make, we are glad to see that he is about to win his fight for municipal ownership o street railways in uetriot and a re duction of fare to three cents. says: "It stands for the National Dem ocratic party as It was before 1896, but not for so much of its platform of that year as declared for free silver and pandered to lawless ness." How does such a declaration as thla suit the honest rank and file of the Democratic party of North Carolina who followed Bryan in the campaign of 1896? The Obser ver has the cheek to say that the great majority of Democratic vot ers In North Carolina were a law less crowd in 1896. Is this why the Observer and the other gold and mo nopoly Democrats tried to reform them In 1898 by a strong and par tially successful attempt to throw North Carolina Into a state of an archy in order to elect a legisla ture of corporation-abiding law yers ? In the same editorial the Obser. ver boasts of the fact that it has experienced no change of heart since 1896, and confidently predicts an early return of the time "when the National Democratic party will have sobered up and got back to base." Note that the Observer specifies "national" Democratic party. The Observer no doubt con siders that under its leadership and that of the other goldbugs and mo nopolists, that the State Demo cratic party has already been res cued from "lawlessness" and "has been sobered up and brought back to base." In this the Observer Is right, as witness the last campaign and the last legislature. Peace reports from the Phillipines are still being received at headquar ters, bat a consummation of such a happy result is being postponed for reasons of which we are not inform ed by Qen. Otis' dispatches. It is beginning to be an aggravated case of "hope deferred." We subjoin the following from an interview with Brig. Gen. Charles King, who has just retained from the Phil- ipines, as being perhaps the most intellectual explanation of the situa tion we have yet seen. It is as bllows: "The situation in the Phillipines is most serious. The people of those islands will keep a guerilla warfare, and there is no telling when the hostilities will cease. They retire to the fastnesses of their mountain retreats when they are whipped and hide in the jangles. Subsisting on practically nothing, they have no need for a base 01 supplies, it win necessitate a large force of men to sabinsrate them oompletelv. I heir entrenchments were works of mili tary engineering and construction to the best that the most civilized military nations have produced. Under the Spanish regime the Fili pino learned something of war, and we are receiving evidence of this every dav. The republican party of Ohio, in its recent convention declared against trusts, but took pains to defeat the renomination of Attor ney-General Monnett, the man who has made such a splendid record in Ohio fighting the Standard Oil Trust. A declaration against trusts to fool the people is one thing, but the election of a man who has pro ven himself sincere and vigorous in his fight against them is quite another, and one that is not on the programme.

There is much complaint from the truckers of Eastern North Car olina against the railroads, not on ly because of the exhorbitant rates which they charged for hauling truck to Northern markets, but al so for the very poor service which tho roads have given. The truckers say it is not an unusual thing for the roads to delay the truck en- route thus destroying its market value. And they say with truth that the high prices which they are forced to pay for transportation should command the very best and quickest service. If these roads were nnder government control, the object sought for would be, not to make money for the government, but to give to the public not only a very much cheaper, but the very best and quickest service possible. Thus, under public control the im mense profits now pocketed by the iew wouia be distributed among the shipping and travelling public, while the government as in the case of the transmission of mails . a woum give to tne people a service against wnicn tnere could be no reasonable complaint. The money question shovld be kept to the fore. The dear dollar is a most prolific cause of hard times. As long as the dollar continues to appreciate jast so long and corres pondingly will property depreciate. And until onr present monetary sys tem is changed for the better, jast so long will this condition of affairs exist. roe people should own and con trol the railroads of the country, They not only own the valuable fran chises, bat they make the operation of the roads valuable by giving it the support which a public utility commands from the public general ly. Under our present system the people give to private corporations the franchise, clothe the roads with protection of law, and in return mast submit to any tax rates for travel or shipping that avarice and greed of a few sees fit to demand. under public control tney would se cure not only a cheaper bnt a better service. The telegraph system of the conn try should also be nnder public con trol. The same arguments which apply to government ownership of the post office department, apply with greater force to the telegraph system, for the reason that the tele graph Is a more rapid means of com munieatum than the mails. If the principle of government control of the means ef communication in the interest of the public is correct in the ease of the post office, what ar gument is there against the correct ness of this principle as applied to the more rapid means of eommuni cationl Congress should pass a law provi ding for an income tax. If this can mot be done without a constitutional amendmendment, then the amend ment should be submitted.

Wilmington Dispatch, 9th. - The exodup of negroes from this city still continues, with increasing rapidity. Within the last month not less than one hundred families have left the city bound for different parts of the United States. Monday?; Wed nesdays and Fridays are the days generally selected by those who con template leaving the city, and on each of these days, great crowds of negroes leave the city. Yesterday, however, was a departure from the general custom. A gentleman informed a Dispath representative this morning that, while coming down the country road which leads out over Smith's creek, he met a large crowd of negroes. with their baggage strapped on their bjiks. There were nineteen in all. ten men and nine women, and when questioned as to their destination, ihey said they were bound for Norfolk. The crowd was tramping to their destination, but this is not the gen - eral way they leave the city. A colored man of some pominence in his race, in conversation with the re porter, said he had interceded with the Alantic Coast Line for those who were desirous leaving the city, in anotner column find a commu nication written and signed by Mr. W. J. Came, of Maxton, who was a member of the North Carolina Gen eral Asm mbly of 1897. Mr. Carrie was summonsed as a witness in the Dockery-Bellamy contest, and as a truthful man, stated facts that he saw on the day of election. This caused the editor of the Scottish Chief, one of the Bed-Shirt organs, to attack Mr. Carrie for telling the truth. Mr. Carrie in the communi cation referred to, found elsewhere in the paper, in a straightforward manner, gives the facts replying to the attacks of the Scottish Chief. This communication should be read . 1 , T . . . care i any. it contains some impor tant facts for history. Mr. Bryan in a recent speech said that it took quite as much courage to fight the trust of com merce as it did to climb a San Ju an hill or swim a Phillippine river, whereupon the trust organs opened a lire or ridicule. Whether or not Mr. Bryan's statement is correct depends entirely upon the kind of fight that is made against trusts, It requires no courage whatever, as the trust organs say, merely to de nounce trusts ; but it does require a pretty good stock of courage of the moral sort to fight them in an aneeuve manner a courage to withstand temptation in which too many of our public officers have shown themselves lacking. We are glad to see that Bepresen tativeBell, of the Industrial Commis sion, is made a member of the snb A. A. m committee wmen wui make inquiry on the subject of transportation. Mr, Bell is Populist representative from Colorado, and his knowledge of the railroad question makes him a valu- ble member of the Commission. member how many were in the squad. but I saw Henry Smith, Leak Smith, W. fi. Bishop. Charles Ivey, M. G. McKenzie, J. P. Wiggings and sev eral I don't just now recall. Q. What were the t quads of men doing to the colored men you have referred to when you saw them! A. Some of them were just run ning along after them with short sticks in their bands, some were throwing brick-bats, some were stri king them with boards and some were shooting. Now on this, M. G. McKenzie, ed itor of the Scottish Chief in his next issue jumps on me with both feet and does me up in the following style, thusly: "It seems from the evidence of W. J. Carrie, one of the witnesses for the contestant, that they reserved the most slanderous aid untruthful evidence until tne last minute, so that the contestee could not offer the truthful rebnttal testimony." Then after a long tarade of abuse he (the said MeKinzie ) proceeds to deliver himself thusly: . J. IB. T laence 01 w . j . uume as to me ma liciously false." Now, as to my having slandered the good people of Maxton, I am willing to leave the whole case with them, for none knows better than they of the doings of that memora ble day, (election day). 1 have heard many of them say, (and good Democrats at that), that . 1 il . .a tney nopea mat tney would never see such another day in our town. Now as to my evidence as regards McKenzie. I herewith submit sworn statements of some of the parties thus maltreated, which speak for themselves. Robeson county, N. C, Maxton township.

Jowers, Notary Public. McKenzie, as tried by his own statements and admission is guilty. He says that he did not have on a red shirt on the day of election, but that he had on a piece of red flannel, a distinction without a difference. He also says that he did not en gage in any of the assaults, but that he "was along with the boys and was a well wisher.' Now a man that stands by and fees murder committed and does try to prevent it, but is "a well wisher" is jast as guilty in law as the man who does the killing. He told a prominent democrat that he did not engage in runn ing off any colored men that day, but that he saw a strange darkey, and went to him and asked what he was doing here and told hm he had better leave. The man told him (McKenzie) he would leave when he got ready, so he (McKenzie) went and told "the boys" and the fellow was hustled out of town in short order, so yon see by his own testi mony. McKenzie was surely "along ATrP'eal Trat Oae. From the New York World.

Mr. Editor, these are some of the happenings of election day at our place, but the after effect. A prom inent Federal Judge said to a lead ing democrat of our section. 8ays he, "V I take no stock in politics, but the way your people are con ducting this campaign your people will not get over in 30 years." I see more and more the truthfulness of that statement every day. The leaders in the last campaign on the Democratic side unsheathed, the sharpest two edged sword, this old universe ever saw when they taught the people to disregard law and carry tne election by any sort of means.
