As .the Chicago Times-Herald well oaais ifhe itobaodo trust 'itfWalt modern hydra of business." The' Ttaeis- Herald gives ith)i bit lof "his tory: r "The Americialn Tobacco CompaJny Is a corpora; tiion that was organized undler the laws of New Jersey to 1889, for "the purpose of controlling' In the United JStalt-es. lit has, in fact, estab lished tthle most powerful trut etafd comblnattoini that has yet beefn. orgian- Llzed for ithe purpose of keeping up the price of a great article of cOnaump- tion.

Thiis Is the fine feathered thdlng HJhlalt is so popular to North Carolina. A cigarette 'manufacfurer recently assur ed us thiait Whe lnuge trtiSt a miglhty crushling oc'tapus feaJ& broken.

Judge Gibbotas d. cides ttihat 'a sttate .has the power Ito forbM such a vile combinaittioh. and monopolies. He says t!hat the state, tlhrough .its duly conteitiStiultefd Itribunals, can exerdise aH power that is neces sary Ito preserve the happiness, pro mote the welfare anld protect the safe ty of Its c-ltlzenis. No oonlttagefncy cam arise, no cOmibiinialtlOn of forces is pos sible wfoldhi tanplmges rupon or endan gers itfhe rigfhits or well being of the people that daii -not be coantroHed, or dissolved, by the Stalte acting (through Its agency for tihe a"dminlstraitlOn Of justice. Juldge Gibbons thus upholds the trudt law of MtaOiis in all its scope, and ac cordingly orders an injunction against 'the ItruSt company. It will go to the supreme court of the United States. The time was whleh the people reposed entire confidence In. "the wisdom, learn fiinig. Judicial fairness arid high honor of lewis hiigibest Judiiioaitory, but owing ;to several tlMngs itihalt have occurred within th'e laslt quarter of a century (that confldenioe Is greatly shaken. The tobacco trust will not die willingly. It will use Its power, its money If it can to prevent an adverse "decision we may riot doubt. Can a tobacco trust have any conscience? If thle supreme count sWaW do right, then trusts and monop olies, 'the enemies of the people,, will receive a fl'nial blow. . A CHICAGO PAPER MOUTHING JTREASON. I? ",V . , l The fools Still live and everywhere, There Is one wftio tadJtes inflamlma'tory ediitorilads for Thei Chicago Tribune. His latest fool-talk 8s that "Secession was Treason."1 If So, why dM not tine United States government try Presi dent JeffersOn Davis as Bit wahtiedi Ito do? After the grea't lawyer in New York, Charles O'Connor, told 'tlhem itttile government would have no case Mr. Davis was liberateld, anld General Miles could no longer play the baVi part the did as jailor for that great southron. TWa doctrine of secession may lhave been selttled. by I tine results Of War, bu;t up to the surrender at Appomaititox It Was surely a constitutional remedy. If any one doubts, has a fair amount of "intelligence and candor, and1 will read Dr. Albert Taylor Bledsoe's masterly little work On "Secession," or as (ha called "Is Jefferson LXavls a Traitor?" he will flrid .the facta and: arguments invincible, most conclusive as to Ithe right of secession. When a belated editor In 1897, dakes up an expfotdield Itheory and undertakes to stive Bt life anld vigor he is almost as far -in the rear a back "number "as One of Noah's crew would be Is "he should step oult of the ark Into the nineteenth century. No one but a very ignorant or very "malicious fellow wtffl contend mow for a 'dogma that has no legs and no "head. No man to the noriLh ha& yet dSared. to oJttempt to answer Bledsoe, arid yet idhajt book has been to print oxrite itWirty-onei years. ThS Jacksonville Times-Utnion, a gold .paper, but ordi narily very totelligeritly and even ably edited, says hihSs: "Certainly It Is discreditable to The Tribune for lit Should know bdtter.

J. H. Ingraham's religious story of fifty years ago, is still read. It is called "The Prince of the House of Da vid." A new edition is Just out by Rob erts Brothers, price 50 cents. It is in teresting and religious in tone. We read It when young. : . John A. Logan, Jr., son of General and Senator Logan, seems to have done well in a work entitled "In Joyful Rus sia." It is an octavo, 50 full-page il lustrations, price $3.50. Unless politics enter into the criticism the work Is worth reading. Miss Tooley has just issued "The Per sonal Life of Queen Victoria." She knows whereof she writes. Mr. James Lane Allen's last-novel is receiving warm praise and we may not doubt that it deserves It. Of all south ern writers of romance or story he has the finest i;ouch. the most exquisite charm. He Is not so virile possibly as Miss Murfree is and certainly cannot surpass her as a limner, as a describer of grand or beautiful natural scenery or in graphic portraiture, but there is a distinctnote of purity, of beauty, of universal sympathy that makes his best work very charming. His "A Ken tucky Cardinal" is of its sort very per fect work. We so adjudged it when it appeared. "Aftermath" followed, but of that we know nothing. His first book 'Flute and Violin," we read discerning unusual cleverness we thought. His "Summer in Arcady" was finely wrought, but we somehow did not fancy the passion, the suggestions of the story, although the author's aim was true and pure. -"The Choir Invisible," is thoroughly lauded. Professor James MacArthur, in a very elegant criticism on Mr. Allen in "The Bookman" for June says: : , "The Choir Invisible undeniably places its author among the foremost in American letters. Indeed, we venture to say that it would be difficult to recall any other novel since The Scarlet Let ter that has touched the same note of greatness, or given to one section of our national life, as Hawthorne's classic did to another, a voice that is far beyond singing." Mr. Stoddard, the poet and critic, is not so enthusiastic. He says it "is a well-considered, honest piece of litera ture which will bear more than one reading." Mr. Allen Is not only Ken tucky's one excellent author, but as a writer of novels he deserves to rank with any In the north or south except Hawthorne greater than all. "Impossible novels" now make the presses groan and the readers sorrow the readers with taste and discernment. Jokai's "Black Diamonds" is Said to be one of the most "impossible" , kind. G. W. Stevens's book on this country has created more racket , in England and Europe than we had supposed. Ifc was written from the goldbug stand ing point altogether, we judge, and was anti-southern. The New York Book man is pleased to say of the letters that they are "some of the most bril liant and vivid letters . that we have ever seen in" a newspaper," and that they were widely quoted from in Eu rope and in the north it says "this country" but the copying was conflned to the north, we think. It says this: "It gives a most original and strik ing series of impressions not only of our political ways, but of the country and its life as seen by an original and unbiassed observer who has a remark able gift of writing nervous, glow ing English. His novel picture of Chi cago is one of the most epic' things that can be found in- prose." In the one letter we read about Wil mington we recognized the exceeding cleverness, directness, vigor of style, but we also saw that he was not "an original and unbiased observer" so far as the south is concerned. He told us that when he said to friends in the north he was going to take a ride through parts of the south he was an swered "Why do you wish to do that there is nothing worth seeing in the south." He-came evidently under prej udice begotten of unfriendly bias. Mr. Le Gallienne has at last made "a ten strike" in letters. He has trans lated "Rubaiyat," the famous poem of the Oriental Omar Khayyam. Mr. Fitz gerald made himself very famous by his well known translation many years ago. It is claimed that Fitzgerald has been eclipsed by the young poet. But wait. "The Cosmopolitan" will pub lish it.

Groomed Western confer ence, : has -. resumed the. publication of The Southern Home Journal. It is not a denominational bi-monthly paper but is "the organ of Truth." It is publish ed at Greensboro at 25 - cents a year. Dr. Groome is a man of ability who formerly edited The Christian Advo cate. Compare the two parties In North Carolina in the matter of holding state constitutional conventions. The radi cals in 1865 piled up $90,000, immediate ly after; the war 'too, when there wa3 no money but. abounding poverty, as the cost of a convention. Ten years later, the democrats caused another convention to assemble, and the cost was but 26,360. It has been always so in North Carolina. -; The republicans " in office are greedy," feckless, spendthrifts, abusers of the people. They were so in the years succeeding the great war when. In power in this state. They are so now. They will always be so. It is a party of plunderers and adventurers. hungry and ravenous beyond expres sion. If the people of all parties who believe in honesty, in economy, in common-sense in legislation do not get together, and snatch the state from the control of the unprincipled, Incap able set 'who rule and ruin then the fate of North Carolina is sealed. There are 423 students, bona fide at the university it appears, and not as we gave it. We got our figures from an exchange not having seen a copy of the circular sent out with the precise facts. It must appear strange to old university students to learn that only about a third of students stay to the commencement ceremonies. It is un fortunate. It ought to interest all students for it is something of educa tion. It makes the crowd small and will not impress strangers. Four or five hundred students marching in is impressive. The university is ireally doing a noble, most praise-worthy Work in educating the "poor boys." It Is fulfilling grandly its mission in this direction and is asserting its right to the confidence and good will of the peo ple at large. There were forty-two graduates. Of these but two are to be preachers and but one a newspa per man. Not one Is to be a farmer arid yet the farmers are the basis of society and national prosperity. We saw recently in The Washington Post an article bearing upon an inter esting historical event 'the annexation of Texas. It shows that the credit giv en to President Polk for the annexa tion of Texas, is wrongly bestowed. It belong to John Tyler, of Virginia. Gen eral Thomas J. Green the father of Colonel Wharton J. Green, who led an expedition, Tcnown as the Mier, into Mexico before the war between the United States and that country, and who published an octavo giving an ac count "of it, which we read in 1846, while ia student at Lovejoy's military academy, the son, our friend Wharton, having lent it to us, wrote to ex-Pres-ident Tyler in 1856. The Post publishes a letter from him to General Green, of Warren county. North Carolina, con cerning: the annexation dated 28th February 1856. The ex-president be gins in this wise:, "Dear General: I take occasion now to 'thank you for your kind reference to me in your remarks at the Richmond dinner. It would be indeed strange if my enemies could deprive me of the credit of having annexed Texas to the Union. I presented the question, urged it first In the form of a treatv to the senate; met the rejection of that treaty by a prompt and immediate appeal to the house of representatives; fought the battle before the people, and con- querred its two formidable adversaries (Henry Clay and Martin Van Buren) with their trained bands, and two days before my term expired, adopted and enforced the alternate resolutions un der which Texas took her place amid the fraternity of states.

Months and months passed and the frightful baldness remained. My physician, Dr. Paul f Barringer, recommended Mrs. Grlers Real . Hair Restorer. Determined to give It a fair trial I bought a half dozen bottles. Three bottles of it faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect, but one morn inc.' soon after bejrinnlnjr ; the fourth bottle, to our surprise and delight, a new growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration that only one more bottle was needed.
