AUK DEMOCHA1 8 ACJAIN'ST THE During the last campaign the Democratic leaders In both Stale and nation yelled themselves black In the face telling how damnable the trusts were and what they would do for them If they were elected. Judge IVrker In hb speeeb and letters during the cam paign said that the trusts were the worst evils of to-day, and should be dealt with by the common law; that each State should hold them in check. Willi this as one or the main arguments the Democrats were elected In this State last No vember. Vhen they got to the legls lature how did they fulfill these promises they had made to the voters? Why, like they usually do, bv ulterlv ienorine them. There was not a single law passed against a trust doing business in "North Carolina. Kvery bill introduced that would have effected them even in a small way was promptly killed The legislature kept busy, talking temperance, while many of them wero drinking whiskey, and finally wound up by passing the Ward bill which is very favorable to the -whiskey trust. Will the people believe these Democratic leaders when they begin cursing the trusts in the next campaign? Ve can't be lieve that the majority of the voters are willing to be fooled again. M UNICIPAL. OWNERSHIP. Many of the citizens of Raleigh are discussing the advisability o tho city owning its water supply The charter of the Wake Water Company, which supplies the city with water, will expire in Novem ber. There is a provision in the charter that the city can buy ou the company at an equitable price i Usees proper to do bo. Wo hope the city fathers will see it proper to buy out the Wake Water Co. and give the citizens of Raleigh a better, as well as cheaper service. Notwith standing one Mr. I ridgeis, from Henderson, in a fcmuiunicalion to the News and Observer eayt: "The towns that do not own their water and light plant) have a lower tax rate than those that do own them with hardly an exception." Thb court reverses that decision. We know of no place in North Carolina where taxes are higher than they are in Raleigh. Poll tax alone is nearly $8, with water rent, electric lights, etc., proportionately high. About the averate price for water in Ral eigh is $27 per year, with "wiggle tails" thrown In; In Washington City the water rent, light bills, etc., are only about one-half what they are in Raleigh, and there the water supply is owned and operated by the Government. Do you see the difference? In another column will be found a summary of the settlement of the South Dakota Bond judgment and the bonds held by Schaffer Brothers against this State. Each week we wiU publish one or more of the laws passed by the recent legislature. In thb way our readers can get an accurate knowledge of the laws parsed. Of course we reported the proceedings of the legislature every week, but when so many bills were introduced each week it was im poEsible to give the text in full of every bill introduced and passed, and especially when they would passed them one day to kill them the next, and vice versa. We would like to see the day re turn in North Carolina when the psople can be trusted to govern themselves. Raleigh Post. And so would we, and we do not believe the day is far distant. We cxnnot believe that the voters of the State will longer permit the present political oligarchy to rule this State. The Council of State Tuesday sold the oyster steamer Lilly for one .half Its cost, as Shell Fish Com missioner Webb preferred a gaso line launch for hb outing. Isn't the Council of State afraid the next legislature will impeach them for Jhia act? The appropriation bill, passed by the recent legislature, amounted to more than two years ago. And even I hi amount does not pro vide ample provision for the in. eane, deaf, dumb and bllcd of the State. At the first cf the session they appropriated all the money Iu sight to Increase the salaries of Dem ocratic pet office holders and when the time came to appropriate mocey for worthy causes they had to be mr v either neglected or b?ue bonds. The Charlotte peopto have cer- tiinly had a seige of the Grippe since the saloons were voted cut of that city. Charlotte drug stores filled 1.G36 prescriptions for whis key during the month of February, and thb docs not include the amount feold by the blind tigers In that town. Why don't the Vatts law advocates wake up and attend to business. During the next cam paign they will blame the Revenue officers with the whole thing. Justice, in the last I -Hue of the Union Republican, writing on how the recent legislature had buncoed the people, closes bb article with the following: "Egypt had its lice and locusts and history tells us they wero bad, but if you want the real thing for evil that no State can stand mucli of just name the Legislature of 1905, led by the boss bunco stecrers, who passed the Ward bill." The Legislature passed one thou sand two hundred and sixty-four bills and thirty-six resolutions, but we must now pay for the uoun 10 patH upon inem 10 eee n they are constitutional. In Goldsboro the "blind tigers" . have to arrest each other, to pre- vent so much competition. Where are the officers who are supposed to enforce the Watts law. TWO MEN HANG MAT 12TII. Both Convicted of Criminal Assault Taken to Buncombe Jail. Asheville, N. C March 13. So licitor Brown has returned from Madbon county, where he has pros ecuted the docket of that court. Two white men, Peter and Charley Stein, were convicted of criminal assault and sentenced to by Judge Moore to hang May 12th. Smith is G5 years of age and outraged a 75 -year-old girl. Stein Is 18 years of age and outraged a married wo man of 45 years. Judge Moore to ddy signed an order that was placed In the hands of Sheriff Reed of this county, directing that the con- demned city and men he brought to this placed in the Buncombe ! jail for eafe keeping. Notwith standing the fact that more capital offenses have been committed iu Madison than any other county in the State, the last hanging that oc curred in the county was nearly thirty years ago, when a Buncombe county murderer was taken there, tried, convicted and hanged. Blind Tler Operator Arret ta Competitor Goldsboro, N. C, March 13. The blind tieera. or at least a fvw nf t he in, got into trouble vesterdav. i A white man arrested a negro him self on the charge of selline whiskev. The white man deputized a nero to help him and they brought their prisoner up the street from Little Washington. When they arrived up town an officer arrested all three of the men. A short investigation caused a warrant to be issued for the white man. An examination of hb premises revealed the fact that he had a quantity of whiskey on hand in jugs and bottles in hb Bleeping departments. The negro whom he arrrested without au thority was also proven guilty of tho charge of conducting a blind tiger. Competition in business is thought to be the reason why the man constituted himself a protector I of the peace and had the negro ar-' rested.

Perhaps not, but it is bedecked with numerous patches of coat-plaster and wears a bandage over one eye, while the rank smell of arnica b not at all reassuring.

THE BOND SETTJLKM EXT. of tks CammUum Us-Taa Dlwra Lav. Below we give a nummary of two important laws piaed by the Ust lfgielatuae, the food tett lenient and the divorce law. A special legUIatlve committee, composed of Senitoxs A. C. Z-1U- afar of Vance. A. M. Bcdes, oil Ouiffonl and Representative Wsl ter Marphy of. Rowan, J. R. Gor d ;n of (Juilford, and J.B. CoQeld of Martin, in conference with the Governor and Council of 8 ate re girding the best settlement of the Fc bafTer bonds and the South Dakota Judgment, mide the fol lowing recommendation to the gei oral assembly: "Gentler&eo: The committee to whom wag referred the matter of the South Dakota Judgmennt and the SchafTer bonds, to the end that they might carefully consider the same and make some recommenda tion to the general assembly, do now respectfully make tho follow ing report: "1st. That the Governor of the State, with the approval "of the Council of State, be directed to set tle the South Dakota judgment in the manner deemed by them best to protect the State's interest. 2d. After a careful considera tion of the bonded indebtedness known as the Schaffer Brothers bonds, being 242 bonds of the par value of $1,000 each, with interest on the same for twenty-nine years, and after consultation with the at torneys of said bondholders, the committee unanimously agreed to recommend the following: "The State b to pay the bond holders $892 per bond, which is less than par value, and amounts to $215,864. This is $447,216 less than the principal and interest of the 242 bonds, $179,136 less than the first proposition suggested by the bondholders to the Governor, $86,136 less than the first written proposition made by the bondhold ers, printed in the newspapers as a letter to the Governor, and $26,136 less than the ultimatum that they offered at the first meeting of thb committee. The $215,864 recom mended by the committee, and ac cepted by the bondholders, is based (though less) on the settlement of 1879, allowing 25 cents on the dol lar and interest for twenty-four months, with interest on the de ferred coupons, thb being in strict accord with the settlement of 1 879 and the Democratic platform. "We believe thb settlement b both honest and just, and we there fore recommend that the general assembly accept and approve it." Thb report was unanimously adopted by both branches, and a bill passed in accordance therewith, which being a roll-call measure, re quired ciic daya for lio enaoimont and necessitated the legislature 10 mainlng in session until Monday, March Gth, although the 'term ex. pi red on Saturday. The bill, after stating the condi tions of the settlement agreed upon by the committee, the payment by the State of $215,861 for the 242 bonds now held by the Schaffer Brothers and the Governor to settle the South Dakota judgment against the State for $27,400, provides for an issue by the State treasurer of bonds of North Carolina to the amount of $250,000 to meet the above expenditures, the bonds to bear upon their face the expres purpose for which they were issued and drawing; 4 per cent, interest, dating from January, 1904, to be id semi-annually on January 1st lue uuuua uio iu uv ui ueiiumiua tionsot $500 or $1,000, and are not l. l i r a The new divorce law repeals all laws creatine: any cause for divorce enacted since the sasaion of 1883. en-land amends iha fW hu mstino fornication and adultery on the part of the husband a cause for divorce instead of separation from the wife and living in adultery.
