NO DESPOTISM WORSE THAN THAT OF

The Spell Will Have to be Broken Before Ihe

One Whit Better,
It is idle to talk of taxing tlic poo

of folly to talk of nmkiiiK the

tarifl with which to psj tho runtime

ctmRitif? theno (Ui'8tioii. Then what
is tho troniile, and what the remedy ?
Tho trouhlo ia that the people do not
rule. ihecyndicatesBiKl trusts run
tho Lovernmeiit to suit their inter
mm. Ninety-flvo per cent, of tho
peoplu are rohhed of tho greater
portion of what they produce !y

are iileaacd to call prolita. 1 lie coal

makcirrent prolitaoti thece pro lneta,
or rather, to reiiiornelccsly plunder
tho people. The land i fnt-1 pausing
into tho control of monopolies.
Already great tracts are owned by
syndicates and many thousands of
people aro rohhed by rent. There
are many other trusts and monopo
lies which are daily robbing the peo
ple. The result is that tho wealth
of the country is accumulating into
tho hands of a few and the highways
aio tilled with tramps, the jails aro
gorged with criminals, tho insane
asylums packed with the insane, the
aim houses aro overflowing with
helpless paupers and tho life of the
great Western republic is in great
peril.
The lines of transporlation and
communication have always aided
and fostered tho other great trusts
and corporations. Rockefeller could
never have monopolized the coal oil
but for the railroaiiB. He not only
got cheap rates for hie oil, but the
railroads charged all other oil deal
ers excessive rati s and a part ot that
excess went to Rockefeller; thus
he could make money if he did not
sell a gallon of his oil. Tho fail n ro
of the United l'ress has given an ob
ject lesson on private ownership of
the lines of communication. It cof t
the New York Journal V2li5,0no to
get a franchise from the Associated
l'ress, which now has a monopoly
on news. Papers in little country
towns are mulcted $10,000 to $20,.

news, but simply for the privilege
of getting it. This would be im
possible under proper conditions.

A linrlirigton, la., special says:
Stono, a commission merchant, of
this city, has made one of tho moat
profitable speculations on record.
Whether it was Mr. Stone's busi
ness acufeness, whether it was his
natural desiro to tako chances, or
whether he had well defined ideas
abo'it tho future of the deal no one
knows.
During the sale at auction of all
the assets of tho I'urlingtou Insur
ance Company, defunct, and of
which W. h. Piake wasthcaa-ignee,
at the door of the court house a few
months auo, tho end was announced
with tho oiler for sale of all tho
"unknown assets'' of this insurance
company. Tho auctioneer asked
for a bid. Mr. Stone bid $'!, and,
there being no opposition, ho was
awarded tho prize. It now turns
out that these unknown assets aro
worth $17l.000.
When Assigneo l'lako made his
final statement concerning tho
affairs of the Burlington Insurance
Co., and isked to be discharged a
receiver, C. I. Poor, an attorney
representing seveial of the creditors
of the company, entered objection
to the discharge of Ihe receiver, and
made the assertion that at least
$170,1)00 of the assets of tho com
pany, composed of railroad stocks,
ootids and other valuables, wore
missing, and hail not been account
ed for.
Mr. Poor said that lormer Presi
dent Miller, of tho insurance com
pany, had been commanded to ap
pear in court and state tho where
abouts of these assets.
Tho court delayed the dischargo
of tho assignee and has the matter
under advisement. Jt tho charge
of the creditors bo true, then
these unknown assets belong to Mr.
Stono. 1 f any persons have in their
possession, or have secreted, trans
ferred or hypothecated these assets,
jIr. ntono can secure them, because
they were unknown at the time of
the assignment, and Mr. Stone
bought them for which ho paid
to the assignee.
JNIr. Stono takes matters very
philosophically, declares ho is
thoroughly informed as to all his
rights and privileges in the premises,
and as the opposing attorneys and
opposing interests develop the con
dition of things, ho will, in due time,
by Ins attorney, step in and claim
these unknown assets hs bis indi
vidual property.
Christianity Among the Indians.
In 1S.37 there were removed from
Georgia and other Southern States
what aro now pallet! the five civil
ized tribes -tho Cherokees, the
Creek, the Seminole, the Choetaws
and Chicasaws to the Indian Ter
ritory. These conquered savages
constrained to leave their hunting
grounds and the graves of their
fathers, were hoetilo to the white
man and especially to the white
man's religion. Some of them pass
ed laws forbidding the introduction
of Christianity into their homes in
the west. But in time mission work
began among them. In a few years
tho Baptist woik was all concen
trated in tho Home Mission Board.
Marvelous indeed has been tho suc-
ess that lias attended it. In these
five tribes to-day there are as many
Baptist churches, and more Baptist
preachers in proportion to popula
tion than there are in the State of
North Carolina.
Dr. 1. T. Tiehcnor, of the Heme
Mission Board, has tho following to
say of work among the Indians:
"Southern Baptists, for more than
half a century, have been actively
engaged in the work of evangelizing
the Indians, llieir work has been
largely confined to those Indians
who live in the Indian Territory.
It was to tins icrntory that the
Southern tribes, the Cherokees, the
Creeks, the Choetaws, the Chica
saws and tho Semi noles were forced
to emigrate. Missions had been
established among them before their
removal. Missionary Ridge, where
one of the bloodiest battles of the
civil war was fought, received its
name from the fact that a mission
station in the early years of this
century was located upon it. The
sym pithy of Christian people, who
becuna possessed of the fertile lands
onco held by these tribes, naturally
followed them into their new homes
and resulted In clToits to give them
the knowledge of Christ. The
Creeks, Choetaws, Cherokees and
Seminole are a Christian jieople.
Among those trilioes there is a
Baptist church to every 1,000 of
population, and ono out ot nine of
the entire jeople, old and young, is
a member of a Baptist church. The
Methodists have an almost equal
number ot members, while the
Presbyterians among them are
stronger in proportion than in any
portion of the country. They have
a native ministry, some ot whom
are well educated, and many of them
deeply pious and thoroughly conse
crated. Cur mission work among
them is becoming more and more
assimilated to missions among our
native white population.
That Hood's Ssrsaparilla purities
the bloinlsnd relieves a vast amount
of suffering is not a theory bnt
well known fact.

The Law's Delays,
As far bs' k as Shakespeare's time
we find a reference to "the insolence
of office and the law's delay." There
is some redress against the former
one may knock the insolent oflicer
down, if need be; but for the latter
it is found dilliciiltto iirovide an ad
equate preventive. It is the bane
ot jnstice, and it is this that makis
it so diflictilt lor a citizen or a news
paper to keep in countenance while
urging the people to submit to the
orderly administration ff the laws
and to refrain from visiting, them
selves, condign punishment upon
offender. Tnee oliservations are
suggested by the following story,
which is found In an exchange:
Georgia comes to the front with a
striking ilhirtrstion of tho "law's
delays." Two years and a half ago,
In I'ibb county, that State, one
Allen was arrested on the charge of
murdering another man, ami al
though there appears to have been
not the slightest doubt as to his
ptiilt, it was not until last week
that Ins ease was disposed or. Uy
the employment of ono device or
another known to the lawyers, and
the taking advantage of numerous
trivial technicalities, Allen's counsel
succeeded In securing postponement
until, says a local paper, half the
people in the county had forgotten
the details of the crime, if not the
exact nature.
When, however, Allen was finally
sentenced, tho judge, on passing
sentence, took occasion to make a
few very pertinent remarks, jus
tice, he said, had been ttill-d with
by the defence, and while disclaim
ing any disrespect to higher author
ity, he added that it had also been
ttillod with by some one else. "It
is the duty of courts," be continued,
"to meet all technicalities, and meet
anything that would thwart true
justice, and to tho extent that any
court docs not meet it, to that ex
tent the court is doing wrong.
The surprise in this case, if we
draw our inference correctly, is that
Allen was really convicted in tho
end. In North Carolina, we fear,
he would, after this delav, have
beeu acquitted.
In one of his last reports ex At
torney General Osborne recited the
difficulties of conviction under tho
existing laws of North Carolina.
In the selection of the jury, m the
rules governing the admission of
testimony, and in various other par
ticulars, he recited, the advantage is
all with the defendant and against
the State, so that, except in the
clearest case of guilt, conviction is
impossible.
This discussion relates only, of
course, to the graver crimes. Cer
tainly everybody knows there is no
difficulty about convicting a nigger
of stealing a chicken or a peck of
meal. And here te another instance
in which justice falls down. The
sentences of the judges in such
cases as these are altogether too se
vere aa compared with their sen
tences in the occasional cases of con
viction for manslanghter, embezzle
ment, arson and other higher crimes.
A defaulter gets six months in jail

"Like priest like people. r,to
put the phrase differently and cor
rectly, Like people like priest. A
stream does not riso above its foun
tain, and a judge is never going to
be much better than tho people who
elect him or the juries which sit in
his courts. W hat, then, are we go
ing to do about it i What better can
be expected while that hoary headed
and venerated humbug, trial bv
jury, is in effect t What, indeed?
The writer heard two men, not long
ago, discussing this proposition.
"And whit," asked one, "would
you substitute for trial by jury"
"I would toss up a qnarter for jus
tice," said the other.

About Charity Advertising.
About one of the moBt discour
aging things that a newspaet has
to contend with is the man who
professes that in giving a paper an
advertisement he is conferring an
act ot charity. Foi Innately there
are not many of those kind hearted
ind'vidnals, whose charity, by the
way, consists in promises that they
never redeem, and the sooner the
remainder of them dio, move out of
town, or loarn a littie more com
mon sense, the better for the com
munity it will be. That a news
paper is a straight business en'er
prise everyone knows, or should
know, and if it is worthy of its
name it neither asks nor wants
charity. As a matter of fact, if any
charity is conferred, it is the pap-r
th t usually does it, for every one
of them, in one w ay or another,
gives a vast deal of free advertising,
while we have never known a man
to give a paper a paid advertiscmet
unless he expected to receive his
money's worth from it. Winston

THE DEMAND OF A HEARTLESS PEOPLE
LIKELY TO CAUSE NO END
OF TROUBLE.
Quite Probable that the Powers Will Prolong
the Armistice Until the Thessaly
Dispute is Settled.
The corrtsoridefit of The Stand
ard at Constantinople says :
"The council of ministers has
decided to prolong armistice
It will refuse even to discuss the
retrocession of Thessaly, but will
leave the other points for considera
tion to the powers. So far as the
note lo the European arbitrators is
concerned, there can Iw no doubt
that whether tho sultan is only
binding or is the victim of popu
lar pressure, a peace such as Kur'po
expects cannot bnsrniiged without
the gravest complications.
"Tho grand vizier, on Saturday,
presented a report to tho sultan urg
ing that the wholool Islam wa. fully
determined to retain Thessaly, and
adding: ' Voiir majesty proved vic
torious in Armenian and other mat
ters when you fit inly refused tq ha
dictated to by E'iroi'. Therefore
you should be (qiially linn on this
occasion. But it my views are un
palatable to your majesty, I beg of
yon to accept my resignation.'
"It now uppears that tho armistice
was orgiiully for three days only,
snd nothing but the energy of the
powers secured an extension for a
fortnight.
"The story is current that a wound
ed Turkish soldier at the Yildiz hos
pital, on being invited by the sultan
to ptolTer a dying n quest, implored
him not to yield up Thessaly. Tho
sultan grew pale, snd his eyes filled
with tears.
"Seyfullnh Bey, chief of staff to
the sultan, and the Yon Moltke
of the company, hail been summon
ed Constantinople to give military
commission the benefit ol his advice.
The Athens correspondent of The
Standard reports an interview with
M. Ralli, in the course of which the
premier said ho was very grateful to
England tor her firmness, as this
might result in saving the corn crop
of Thessaly, valued at tl.000,000.
If the Turkish troops should with
draw within a fortnight, he said,
the crop might be harvested, but if
the withdrawal were delayed for a
month the whole would be sacri
ficed, entailing a loss to Greece of
quite .2,000,000, since, if the crop
were lost, the government would be
obliged to teed the peasants aud to
incur other expenses.

treasury bonds authorized by the
former ministry for war purposes.

quest that he be not allowed to again
set foot on Greek soil.

to pay the coupons falling due on
June 15th next.
Ixmdon, May 2t. The Athens
correspondent of The Times says :

have arisen owing to the advocacy
by 'some of the powers including
Russia, of a Turkish occupation of
Thessaly until the indemnity is paid,
snd to England's firm resistance to
such a project. The Greek govern
ment is preparing for a possible re
newal of the war."

A Note to Go to Spain,
The President's xilicy in regard
to Cuba has Ixt-n determined upon.
As toon as Commissioner Calhoun's
report of the condition of affairs in
the island is received, which will be
in about three weeks, unless ho has
received orders to delay it nnti! af
ter the tariff bill has been passed,
snd if it confirms the statements
made in the reports of Consul Gen
eral Jvee, the President will address
a note to the Spanish government
suggesting that Cuba be allowed to
purchase her Independence. The
note will be friendly in its tone, but
will be emphatic in expressing the
President's opinion of the best so
lution of the difficulty.
If Spain should refuse to enter
tain the proposition, the President
is fully determined to take more
radical steps, even to the extent of
declaring intervention. He has dis
cussed this matter with several ot
his Iriends and advisers and would
have taken more positive action ere
this but for ihe appeal of Senator
llanna that recognition of the Cu
ban question by the administration
would be disastrous to the cotiime:-
cial and financial world. The peti
tion received by the Secretary of
State from the leading commercial
houses of the great cities, however,
lias made it apparent to tho Presi
dent that peaco upon tho island is
desired as the first step towsrd re
storing a paralyzed commerce, and
he will undoubtedly give the peti
tion his careful consideration. There
may be no further action until Mr.
Calhoun's report is received, but at
that time some action on the part of
the President looking to tho inde
pendence of Cuba through purchase
or otherwise is as certain as fato.
A Help When Other Things Fail.
The following from the Christian
Helper should be treasured by every
young man who loves tho good
name of his fithcr:
"Young men often want endorse
ment, letters of introduction and
recommendation as they start out
in the world for themselves. Your
father's good name and reputation
for honor and integrity his Chris
tian character is your best voucher.
It helps you to start where ho left
off; it gives you influence and stand
ing wlien you could not have it
otherwise. King Saul asked Abner
of David, "Whoso son is this youth?"
And the same question is being
asked to-day of many a young man
as he goes forth into tho arena ot
life.
"Despise not the good name of
your father, esteem his Christian
character of greater worth to you
than wealth. For while riches in
herited or accumulated may bring
you trouble, the inheritance ot a
good name and the honorable men
tion of your father's Christian char
acter will always give you pleasure
and bo a help to you when other
things fail."
