TILE WILMINGTON MESSENGEB, FRIDAY, APHTL , 20, 1901, ' TUB ISTIXTJU G LE FOR I.IFE GROWS MORE INTENSE. The Messenger years ago referred to a fact that was quite patent to its un derstanding. It was. that the republic of the United States had In a little over one hundred years compassed in experi ence and development, having passed through various stages, that it took the Roman people six or eight hundred years to accomplish. It said farther that a final conflict between capital and labor would inevitably occur in this country compared with which the famous French Revolution would be a mere baby act. As time passes the correctness of this becomes the more arparent. One of the ablest of northern publi cations Is the United States Investor. In a late issue appears an editorial of such striking force and slgnificancy we must give rome of its more salient points. It is a very thoughtful, im pressive article and is well worth a careful reading. Among the multitude of contributions in northern magazines that discuss political economic, social, scientific and industrial questions we have seen no contribution that has so Impressed us with its wide observation, its generalization, its acuteness of study, its bold, broad, sane judgment. The sum of the Investor's contention is. that wealth is now only for the few, that the question of mere existence on the part of the many becomes more in ten3ified. that the rich are growing richer and the poor are growing poor er, that the money power has created an aristocracy, that the young men have poorer opportunities now than ha -.-f ever before been seen in this great republic, and that serious troubles are sui'. to come in the future culminating In most destructive results. The Investigator says men do not see all this in the right light, or words meaning that, but really see through a glass darkly. They are narrow, non observant, cannot see things in the true light and with broad vision. These are our own words merely interpreting the general statement of the paper referred to. It is necessary to study the situa iim but by the aid of politics, morals, business, science and so on. "We quote: "Every department of human activity rt-j-cts upon every other department; and if a man, in the conduct of his finances, ignores the political, social Jand moral considerations of his day -and generation, he is simply a gam bler he "goes it blind " To be sure, most people go it blind, and then they fit down and bewail their cruel fate. Life is a science." Men are not really serious in busi ness activities and life is not taken as it should be. The Investor insists that men lack thoughtfulness, for "thought lness is the result of three things, - rciz: the collection of the widest array of facts possible, the most careful cor-i-elating of those facts when once gath ered, and a wise generalization from the facts as correlated. What general ly passes for thought is not thought at all; it is mere impulse, and can be traced to secure quiet remote from the ratiocinative faculty. Hence it is that most of us see life in mere detach ments that is we view it piece-meal." This able paper goes on to show the great difference between the past and present in the United States. It was easy enough in the first two hundred years of the settlement on these shores for men to accumulate fortunes. It was even comparatively easy to do this at any time between 1S0O and 186. ""The people who grow up with the -country are very apt to get rich; but when the country has reached a high stage of development, it is only select ed individuals who attain to wealth. Some of these latter owe their success largely to luck, but as a rule they suc ceed by reason of superior efficiency." However slow people may be to take in changed conditions and the facts ex isting as to livelihood, there have been wrought astonishing results and far reaching variations and substitutions in the broad field of industry and econ omy. It was stated the other day by the English chief man in finance that in that land the rich were growing richer and the people at large were less able to live. This was shown by the increased income tax from the rich, and the falling off of tax on drinks, the .people being less able to indulge. But the investor thinks the American peo ple are realizing now the increasing difficulties in life and the cumulating obstructions in making money. Its words are "that the struggle for exist ence has been intensified to such anx tent in this country that the mass of the people recognize that if they can keep soul and body together, it is all they can ask. All this is of course ex plained easily on economic grounds. When a country is new, and land is cheap, and the demand for commo dities and services largely exceeds the supply, wealth lies scattered on every side, like nuggets, waiting to be picked up. The nuggets, however, have all been pocketed by this time Only a few of the many have the pe culiar brains and accompanying "luck" to secure fortunes of a great size. The present generation have a much harder "road to travel" than the gen eration before the great war. The ob stacles increase. It is so in Europe and In Great Britain as the Messenger - noted a few years ago. Based upon British authority it was mentioned by us that. salaries in Germany and Bri tain had fallen one-third. It is no bet ter there now, but under the stress in -both countries of trade embarrass . ments and increasing taxes (in Eng s. land especially) the probability is that -salaried people as well as wage draw- era receive still less. We quote again: "A generation or so ago a country youth with a fair amount of brains arid muscle could start out in life with the prospect of dying a rich man, but that is not the case row. Wealth Is now for the few. In the past when a young man in this country started on his bus iness career, he found circumstances largely in his favor; in the future he will find them hostile to him. In the past it required a minimum of skill to attain a commanding position In Indus trial affairs in the future it will require a maximum of skill." This republic today is more dominat ed by the men of immense money than any European country, and to find iU parallel in France we must go back to the time preceding the revolution 1783 and as far back as the accursed reign of Louis XIV. Says the Investor, "these are the days of 'Napoleons of finance and trade. The industries of the world are rapidly becoming centra lized in a few hands, and the question with every one of us is how to number himself among the few. It may be said incidentally that the present state of affairs is the natural outcome of the lack of broad thinking in the past in connection with the industrial situa tion." While not a "socialist" it may be said that it is very doubtful if a country ruled imperially by a small number of nabobs and plutocrats is a better coun try for the average American citizen than a government like England's or any other country not dominated by autocracy or an imitation of the fallen times in Rome when an "Emperor" was the tyrranical boss. The trouble with the United States (an alleged re public) is that "we have become an old country," says the Investor. Again we copy from its very thoughtful and suggestive discussion: "The period of 'lords of finance and trade 'has already begun to dawn. Thus a new feudalism has been evolv ed, which is bound to transform the character of our industrial situation. It was not so many centuries ago that our ancestors fought with bows aad arrows and with battle-axes. We fight now with the most complicated engines of destruction " How to succeed is to become a more pressing, oppressive inquiry. What shall I do to keep from starving or from going to the poor house? Opportuni ties are much less. The inhabitants have greatly Increased. There are two or more seekers for every place. The farms are deserted by the young and it increases the difficulties and makes less certain results of good. "The in dustries of the United States have in recent years been drifting under the control of a few men with fearful rapidity." Sad but true. "But the op portunities will be so very few, com pared with those of the past, that no one short of a genius 'need apply.' This is not an agreeable state of affairs for us to contemplate, and most of us sys tematically ignore the subject." The moneyed power the plutocratic autocracy the men who live in palaces and command annual incomes that make earthly monarchs in the purple seem beggars, have control now. They govern every thing, and their power daily grows and with it their schemes of aggression and ambition. The In vestor sees clearly what is upon us now. It says, and with the quotation, we close the review: The race begins with a condition of equality; then a relatively few be gin to display superior strength or in telligence, constituting an aristocracy; and eventually the masses find them selves in pronounced antagonism to these few. and in the end sink to a ser vile condition. "As yet, we have not done much more than evolve an aristocracy. We have, however, done this with a ven geance. We have not emitted any titles of nobility in this country, but we have in reality a peerage which puts that of the Old World completely in the shade. We doubt if there ever existed a nation in which class hatreds were more bitter than they are likely to be in this country as a result of the economic conditions which we have evolved. The situation here is bound to be aggravated by the fact that the masses in this country have been educated. Having in this country, the capacity to think, they are quite as likely to be driven into revo lution as into mere acquiescence. Now this is a contingency which should ever be kept in mind. We have evolved our aristocracy, but have not evolved our proletariat. The masses however, are alive to the danger that confronts them, and thy have not been slow in taking whatever precautions may have suggested themselves to them." SPICV RK I)ING FROM SOUTH CAR OLINA'S SENATORS. The Messenger has notice'd briefly Senator McLaurin's course by which he visits positive injury upon the south, upon South Carolina, and what is of greater importance, upon the demo cratic party that has so unfortunately honored a most unworthy man not without mental gifts. He has at last bucked up against the bosses of Sen ator Tillman's strong buckler, and he will get hurt before the conflict ends. Senator Tillman has given McLaurin a genuine roasting. It appears in that faithful democratic paper, the Colum bia State. The arraignment is sharp, incisive, bold. He charges the kicker -with dishonesty, that his Charlotte speech is "contradictory, full of para doxes and seems intended to pave the way for the senator's passage into the republican camp." The truth is he ought to go. and not "to stand on the order of his going." His inconsistency, his sudden conversion, his violent change of heart are pointed out. He was bit terly opposed to the Treaty of Paris and suddenly became its friend and supporter. Senator Tillman gives this of his record: "Mr. McLaurin made in the senate. January 1S99, a speech which was as ultra ar.d as pronounced in its denun ciation of the acquisition of the Phil ippines and portrayed the many dan gers which threatened cur country in consequence as any ever delivered in that body. Up to Saturday night be fore we voted on the treaty with Spain on Monday. February 7th. 1S99, he re peatedly told me and' other senators he was bitterly opposed to the ratifi cation and would not vote for It. Be tween adjournment Saturday evening and the vote on Monday the mantle of broad American statesmanship' de scended upon him and a few minutes before the senate went into executive session to consider the treaty and take a vote as agreed, he gave a halting and lame explanation of his Intended change of front." He also turns on the light as to "how the senator stole bodily from a highly gifted divine and man of letters in New York. The revelation is not new, however. It was known soon after the delivery of the speech, and went the rounds of the newspapers; the Mes senger among them. Senator Tillman says: "Such a man has no conscience or principles. The eloquent speech which he delivered in the senate was largely stolen from a sermon delivered be the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke on Thanks giving day, November 1898. in the brick church of New York city, two months before senator McLaurin delivered it in the senate. "I have not only had to blush be cause McLaurin has deserted his party In a great crisis under suspicious cir cumstances and contrary to his avowed purpose but have had the mor tification of having other senators, northern gentlemen, speak of the deg radation to which South Carolina had come in being represented by a man who would bodily steal the brain work of another by whole sentences and deliver it In the senate." McLaurin gave his definition of de mocracy. It is very much such a defi nition as fits bolters and deserters like himself. Skinner, Marion Butler and others of that kidney. He thinks de mocracy means the right of running with the hare and holding with hounds the right to call one-self a democrat and help the enemies of genuine de mocracy on all occasions. It is the right to profess one thing and act the opposite of it. It is the plea of a man self-convicted or with the moral sense, blunted or dead. Senator Tillman, on the other hand, rightly declares that McLaurin's definition is not " the defi nition given in any dictionary, nor is it the definition given by Jefferson, and it is only intended to justify the senator's desertion of his party, his treachery to its principles and his betrayal of the people of South Carolina who have trusted him. The Kansas City platform is the only embodiment of democratic principles that can now be recognized and no man can be considered a dem ocrat who ignores the (principles and policies laid down in that platform and persistently votes with the republican administration in both its foreign and domestic policies." One point more from the able sena tor who 'arraigns his colleague for treachery and sophisims. McLaurin charges that the grand old democratic party of the American Union, with a history running back almost to the be ginning of the last century is "a sec tional party." He accordingly counsels the south to accept McKinleyism. Mr. Tillman says that after charging "sec tionalism" he "truthfully claims that the south which in the last campaign was alone democratic, 'is the Ameri can end of America." Strange that be cause of this fact and our veneration and love for the principles upon which our government rests that this 'broad American statesman, and new born democrat of a hitherto unknown type should counsel our people to 'accept conditions as they are and make the most of them.' " The political acrobat and latter-day republican neophite and expounder, 'favored McKinley in 189S, saying that he "should be renominated by acclamation." And for such a fel low to dare to call himself a democrat. It reminds one of "the devil quoting the scriptures." Senator Tillman says if McLauin's late speech means anything, it means that the democratic party ought to surrender all of its traditions which he claims are 'long since dead,' become an echo of the republican party endorse its foreign policy as well as its domestic policy, ship-subsidy. large standing army and everything, and subside absolutely as a democratic party. If the administration party is right, what need is there for a political factor." In the main time McLaurin hits back with vim. "It is no new role for Senator Till man. He began his career by abu and slandering better men. I have naught but contempt for an intellec tual bully and shameless pretender masquerading as a statesman; a moral pigmy posing as the champion of honesty." Senator Tillman will attend to him at the right time. In the interview com mented upon above he stated that he would meet McLaurin "face to face in any forum he may choose." He says if he is a democrat, then he, Tillman, is not although recently elected to the U. S. Senate without opposition." The Charleston News and Courier says of McLaurin's hit, and it will remind him of his extreme vulnerability: "Senator McLaurin failed to note, however, that it was the same "intel lectual bully" to whom he gave his most hearty allegiance when he was "abusing and slandering better men." and that it was because of this policy of abuse and slander, against which he did not utter one word of protest or dissent, that McLaurin 'was himself pre ferred for the several offices he has held. Had he served his state with half the zeal he is now displaying in behalf of the policies of the republican party he would not now have to lament his inability to 'decently and honortbly get out of public life." The Charleston paper is not friendly to Tillman be it remembered. McLaur in is evidently a trickster, a dodger and a fiopper, and our able contemporary understands him perfectly, for it says that "he does not explain why he voted with the republicans upon every ques tion of policy; why he withdrew from association with the democratic sena tors; why he is, in fact, a republican instead of a democrat these are the es sential things In Senator Tillman's charges against him, and these are the things that he passed Over in his reply." HOME FOLKS. Major Martin, the ieDubliean official thief, began his pllferinss in October 1896. Ilia bUjgest haul was in Novem ber 1899, when he lifted J2.000. He kept up his wickedness for several years with deliberation, and If the democrats had not come in his rascalities might have continued for years. The state treasurer decides that drummers are not "peddlers'" unless "they sell the identical coods they ex hibit," and then they must pay the tax as paddlers. Drummers with cloth ing, shoes, etc' come under this head we infer. Colonel A. H. Belo, who was owner of the Galveston News and Dallas News, died at Asheville. N. C. on 19th in stant. He was born at Salem, N. C, and was a faithful, trallant confederate officer. He entered the great war as captain of the Forsyth riflemen, and was promoted to the colonelcy of the Fifty-fifth North Carolina regiment. He was a faithful, brave soldier, and like so many other North Carolinians was engaged in a great many battles. He served through the four years' was, was wounded severelv in the defences of Petersburg, and ever after was a sufferer. He loved his "native heath" where he was buried. He rose to dis tinction as an editor and owner of im portant newspapers in Texas. There is to be an "Art exhibition" lasting for several days at Richmond, Va,, beginning on the 23rd instant and extending to the 30th of Mav. It offers fine attractions in paintings, etc., con sisting of work by native artists, loans of oil paintings native colors, etc, and several hundred verv large and beau tiful reproductions of the finest paint ings of the leading art tralleries in Eu rope. We are indebted to Mr. B. F. Johnson, the largest book nublisher in the south, and who is president of the Richmand Art Club, for an invitation to attend. We have also received an invitation from Mr. George Green, secretary of the New Bern Fair Asso ciation to attend the "Fair Spectacle" to be held on three successive days be ginning on the 25th instant. At the superb State Museum at Ral eigh, as we learn from the Raleigh Post, can be seen the original Cotton Gin of Whitney that was first to be used in North Carolina. The Post says: "It is more than a hundred years old and is loaned to the museum by Mr. Benjamin Mays, of Kinston. Mr. Brim ley, the curator pronounced it the most valuable relic yet deposited in the his toric department of the museum. It has 10 saws present day gins have 60) and is operated by a hand crank. The gearing is all of wood and there are pig teeth on the main gear work. They are made of persimmon and are much worn, in fact the machine shows that it has seen much service. It is about 18 inches high." In 1900. the state paid $119.70 to its pensioners numbering: 6.129. of whom 2,558 are wodows. The new pension law allows $200,000. There are many more pensioners, and this will prevent the old pensioners from being benefitted by the Increase. Money can not be wiser and Nmore humanely expended than in this noble work of providing for the worthy, gallant men, and their widows, who stood "like a stone-wall" acainst the northern invaders in the perilous days that greatly tried the souls and back bone of so many. There are state papers that are not altogether satisfied with some of the new appointments bv the Governor. We notice a decided protest bv the well conducted Newton Enterprise. It com plains particularly of J. F. Spainhour as solicitor. We are whollv ignorant of him and his record. It thinks his ap pointment specially unfortunate. It thinks two of the appointments is sett ing "a premium on Daljrettyism." It says Spainhour is a bitter pill for "the people in this part of the state." But. it kindly says: "But it is human to err. and our faith in the Governor's trood intentions and his party loyaltv is not in the least shaken; yet it is to be honed that the Dalgetties have received their full por tion of recognition, and that future ap pointments will be such as to draw at tention entirely awav from these two." The question of dividing: the educa tional tax according to what each race pays has some advocates in North Car olina. If the amendment is allowed to work without the interference of courts the probability is that the blacks will continue to receive for manv years to come a part of the white men's tax to educate their children. In Virginia there are some advocates of a division of the public school Tund acording to amounts paid by the races. Senator Daniel takes a humane and wise view in the following passaee from a recent letter from him: "Apart from all questions of constitutional and legal import he says, 'it seems to me that the proposition is lacking in lust regard for the natural relations of the state to its citizens. It would contain a re striction upon legislative power unpre cedented in the United States. It would put us out of sympathy with the great body of our fellow citizens elsewhere, as well as a large mass of them, both black and white. In our own common wealth. It would destroy the hope of a stable, judicious and satisfactory constitution which is now kindled in the breasts, of our people. " GLE VNIXGS. One of the most worthy, admirable women of the last eenturv was the wife of "William Booth, who organized and conducted the "Salvation Army" until his death. She war born Cather ine Mumford and her birth year was 1S29. She died In 1890. areatlv lamented Her father was a? Methodist preacher.H She was married irKlS55. Her health was never good, but she reared a large family and was a great Messing to her "country. "William T. Stead, the well known English writer, has lust publish ed a life of her. and refers to her as "a maker of Modern Britain." The Savannah News has an editorial upon "Chtistlan Science." as have pos sibly hundreds of other newspapers re cently. While the preachers are pour ing in hot shot, the newspapers are commenting. The Savannah News says: "It seems, if what some writers say Is correct, that Mrs. Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, claims to be the equal to Jesus In all of her attributes and powers. "It is understood also that Christian Science, however, it continues to flour though Mrs. Eddy has been married, some say. as many as five times. Not withstanding the attacks on Christian Science, however, is continues to flour ish. It seems to be as vigorous as Mor monism." It Is not true In the south at least, that there is a growintr or existing sen timent somewhat Inimical to the Chris tian ministry. At least, it is charged, there is a want of proper respect and reverence, "We do not believe this. There is less reverence for any thing for God. religion now than there was a half a century ago. All old people will understand that. But the "reverened clergy." we are triad to believe are still honored, revered, respected according to their actual deserts. The Charlotte Presbyterian Standard savs: "We believe that each minister re ceives the exact measure of respect that his life and character deserve, and that it lies with each one just how much respect he receives. We regard It as a healthy symptom of the times that men distinguish between the man and his office, because it makes the man more careful about his life." There is talk of a "Christian The atre." It would be marvellous indeed. Rev. Charles Sheldon, a sensational preacher, is moving to establish one. It will be his greatest fete if he suc ceeds. He tried his hand at model newspaper work, and was a grievous failure. When the "Christian Theatre" comes look out for the millenlum. We notice that Rev. Dr. Poteat strongly dissents. Is he our North Carolina Baptist minister in New England? We notice that Dr. Hoyt. a famous Bap tist, is sponsor for the scheme. Others do not regard it as possible. When rain is dry, black is white, cold is hot and night is day it mav be expected as a consummation of this century, that there is a genuine "Christian Theatre." We believe Mr. Carnede Is meditating some such creation. The writing and publishing of the histories of the Nortn Carolina regi ments in the great war. attracts atten tion beyond the state. It is a very noticeable as well a.s highly deserving and patriotic an event. The Raleigh Post says: "It will add much to the vividness of the pen and ink record to have before our eyes these representations of so many of the actors as thev looked at the time. SUB-COMMISSION ON ROOKS Time for Report Extended by tho Gov ernor FroHt for Laat Three Days Prevented by CloudInes-Farmers Welup with "Work, Except IMantlncr Messenger Bureau. Raleigh, N. C, April. 22. The commissioner of agriculture an nounced today that the increase in the sales of tax tags for commercial ferti lizers are. up to this date. 23 per cent greater than they were up to this time last year. At one time they were 30 per cent greater. The governor extends the time for the sub-commission of teachers, which is examining the hundreds of school text books submitted by the various pub lishers, to make its report to the state text book commission. Tomorrow was the day when the report is due. The extension is to May 1st. The governor said regarding the sub-commission: 'This, state has never had better work done or more faithful workers." The cloud-blanket is all that has saved this state from blighting frosts. The temperature here has for two day: and nights been but little above freezing-point. So far the fruit is unhurt in this part of the state, experts say. The farmers are well "up with the work of preparation for crops, but badly behind-hand as to the planting. Eut little cotton 13 yet in the ground. In ordinary y ars April 15th is planting time. The ground is as cold as it was in January, and much wetter. Judge Purnell and District Attorney Bernard left today for New Bern, where a term of the United States dis trict court begins tomorrow. Last night a negro desperado, Bosc Daniels, shot and seriously hurt an other negro. He is in jail. Three years ago het struck with an axe and nearly killed a policeman. The corporation commission will next Monday begin its tour of the chief counties of the state, to instruct tax assessors as to their duties under the new law. Snow fell Sunday within twelve miles of R?.eigh. The cloudiness con tinues. It is all that saves the fruit, the truck and the berries. The mer cury stays pretty near the 40 degree mark nearly all the time. There are only thirteen cases set for argument in the supreme court this week, and as soon as these are dis posed of the end-of-the-docket cases will be called. Of these there are but few, as the court is close up with its work. The corporation commission will in its tour of instruction this year deal with the tax listers. In 1903. when there will be a new assessment of prop erty, it will deal with the assessors, and its work will be very heavy in deed. In lfcS4 work began on one of the largest negro churches in the state St. Paul's A. M. E. church, in this city. At last it Is completed and May 12th the dedication takes place. Many white people will attend. Cattle Ereezlnir In Tennf se Knoxville. Tenn.. April 22. A party of herders reached here today from the Smoky mountains having been driven out by the heavy snow. They report that four hundred head of cattle were in danger of freezing when they lift. According to their story the snow was from four to six feet deep when they started from the mountains. GOLDS DO BO GOSSIP. Captain Cobla Desperate Encounter with Two IlUrhwaymea-Burjclaries. Bcomlm? Frequent-Judgment of Foreclosure A&xalnst Waterworks Company. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Golds boro. N. C, April 22. Our city was In darkness last night and amid this darkness highwaymen got in their wotk. Captain J. W. Coble, the genial conductor of the Southern, was the victim and his experience was both interesting and exciting. About $:2d o'clock while on Ashe street, near the big ditch, en route to his brother's. Mr. D. A. Coble, superintendent of th? orphans" home, he was approached by two men, one of whom put his arm on the captain's shoulder in an affec tionate way and asked him if he would like company on his strolL The other man reached for and se cured the conductor's pistol, and then the fun began. Captain Coble Is a very muscular man and with an open hand he slapped this party, who proved to be a negro, sprawling in tha street and then, dealing out a sledge hammer blow from the shoulder, down went the other fellow, a white man. The two were up in a jiffy and clos ed in on the captain and succeeded iu relieving him $1$ in money and a gold watch, not. however, without a des perate struggle, in which the vest of Captain Coble was slit open four times, and besides two cuts were made in his iants at the right hip. Nothing daunted, the brave captain, though held at bay by his own weapon in the hands of the enemy, proposed if they would lay aside their weapons he would do them loth at a time. This of course was not agreeable and the pair of ruffians made their escape. Captain Coble returning to the city and reported the matter to the of ficers. Nothing has been accomplished in the way of an arrest, and where the parties have secreted themselves is unknown. Captain Coble says he would recog nize the parties on sight; that they boarded his train yesterday at Greens boro. At Greensboro yesterday morn ing he was handed $90v to give to a par ty in Raleigh, and these individual evidently were aware of this and kept the captain shadowed with the resulti as above related. Fortunately Captain Coble escaped unhurt and was able to go out tmiay on his usual run. Burglaries are getting numerous here and our police officials need to be on the alert. ?s they doubtless are. Saturday night a week ago the stor? of Baker & Eifon, wholesale grocers, was entered and a quantity of goods removed, besides the safe was tam pered with. The matter was purpose ly kept quiet. Again on last Saturday night the same establishment was en tered and robbed, as was also the store of Mike Mansour. on east Center street. In each Instance entrance was effect ed by breaking through the glass tran som and windows. There is no clue yet to the guilty parties. Would it not be well for the city authorities to engage the services of a detective? We have such in the city. The Atlantic Trust Company, of New York, through Its attorney, Mr. W. C. Munroe. has secured judgement for foreclosure in the sum of JSO.000 against the Goldsboro Water Works Company.
