AN INDUSTRIAL PEACE. General Tracy Tells of Its Need to the United States.

Truey was nskit ly u friend the other night whether In his opinion the polities of a prenUlentlal caiiviis.-i would this year inue ninth relneianee to Invest capi tal In business undertakings or wheth er there will be' renter stagnation than Is customarily the ease in a year when a president is to be fleeted. His reply was that all that the United States needs Tor two or three years Is obedience to the; plea once made by General Crant when he said. "Let us have pence." For in . General Tracy's view nothing but. peace is essential if the United States is. to secure in the next the years .a prosperity great er than any in the history of the nation and Is to perfec t Its.l'acitic commerce, to strengthen its international nuance, to inarch nearer its pre-eminence as a financial power of the world, says Hol land, the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia l'ress. When it was suggested to him that there were no signs of war, the trouble with Colombia having been ended, General Tracy replied that the peace he had in mind is not that which fol lows war or at least the war in which great armies meet and there are blood shed, rapine and devastation, but iu- xtead industrial and corporation peace. He was a little fearful that the two great energies whose combination Is necessary if there is to be prosperity, that combination being directed by ability, are at th'.. preseut time either actually engaged in controversies which threaten Seriously the prosper ity of the United' States or are contem plating controversies of that kind. He did not speak of the gigantic railway disturbance In the northwest, but it was apparent that he had the controversy, In which there seems to be Boinetblng of personal pride and even of Jealousy involved, in view when he spoke of the need of peace. He did bay, however, that the great menace to industrial prosperity is found in the at titude of many of the labor leaders. Yet no man could be more sympathetic with the objects which the labor un ions profess exclusively to contemplate than General Tracy now is and always has been. He ' recognizes as he says that unless there are Intimate personal relations between an employer and those whom he employs organizations of workers are essential. These organ lzations, he says, have accomplished much and can accomplish much more. But somewhere there is grave fault. Some one Is responsible for the inca pacity or unwillingness of many of the labor leaders to recognize the line where legitimate and wholly reasona ble and healthful organization ends and where the Authority of the law, statute and fundamental, begins. The disposition to violence, the refusal to recognize the liberty of Individual choice, which is the very foundation of personal liberty, a choice which will permit an employer to operate with the open shop or the closed if he choose and the employee to associate himself with the union or not if he choose, Is In General Tracy's view a j disposition which must be instantly checked, for. If it be permitted to grow our republican r'orm of government will end. Therefore when he says that peace In needed if the United States Is to take advantage of the marvelous opportuni ties for growth and prosperity that are now open he means that there must be peace in the world of labor, peace be tween employee nad employer. As a member of President Harrison' a cabinet General Tracy had opportunity to learn some things of which the pub lic never had knowledge and which convinced him that the United States was In graver danger of civil war, not n war of sections, but of classes, in 1S94 than the great public understood. And General Tracy said, with inuch ear nestness: "Not since President Lincoln's day was so Important action taken nor any more brave In Lincoln's day than that taken by President Cleveland when in laiH he summoned the whole force of the government for the suppression of Incipient revolution in Chicago. Cleve land struck, too, at just the right mo ment, not too soon, not too late." General Tracy said, however, that re cently he had seen what he thought to be good evidence that the fundamental and intuitive sense of what the real meaning of the American constitution and the bill of ilgbts is is being better ana better understood by the great body of men who work for wages. In New York city there is some fear that the peace for which General Tracy pleads may not be our lot this year and that contention may not be confined to those who work for wages and those who pay these wages. While much allowance '.h made for the professional pride, for the earnest ness and possibly for the wish to ap pear to be worthy of the fes that are paid to them, which animates all the lawyers employed by the contending parties In the Northern Securities liti gation, nevertheless it is now apparent that something like personal auimus, the .pride of power, possibly jealousy, borne domination of the lesser pas sions from which great men of affairs frequently assert that they are free, rISS esiu . And yet it is also the impression in New York that there ultimately can be but one determination of this impor tant question. That is a determination which might easily bo immediately reached were it not for the impression that Mr. Hill is disposed to be Imperi ous, dominating, bound to have his own way, whereas Mr. llarriman and those who are with him are of almost eijual determination. The Northern Se curities corporation was perfected in part ostensibly to eliminate the person al equation. Put with the dissolution of that corporation the personal equa tion is again discovered. The ultimate determination of this railway situation of the far west as Is believed in New York inevitably will be the establish ment of the community of interest, foi in no other way that any one now can discern is it possible to secure that freedom from lawful competition, that fair share of business which each sys tem has a right to expect, without vio lation of the federal statutes. In General Tracy's opinion the rerd pence which must prevail if the mar velous advances that are possible for the United States are to be made with 'ln the next four or five years will come if the great capitalists controlling vast railway systems cease their contentious and if the labor organizations fully recognize what the law permits and what the law forbids. Some indication of what the turmoil that Is' in the labor world and the tur moil that is caused by the struggles of the great capitalists are costing us Is furnished by the report from Washing ton which caused no little anxiety in this city. Every one familiar with the course of commerce and almost every one in the world of finance here ex pected in midwinter to be able to read some time in April that the record of our foreign commerce for the spring would match that of any preceding year. Hut instead of that our exports for the month of March show the smallest excess over the imports that has been recorded for any one month in the last seven years. There is rea- IT'S EWART! THUD! HIS OWN PARTY FRIENDS SHARPEN THE AXE FOR HIM. DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION No Matter Who the Democrats Nomi nate, it is Claimed that His Defeat is a Dead Certainty Gudger Enti tled to Renomination. Special to News and Observer. Asiieyille, N. O,, April 25 The nomination of Hamilton G. Ewart for Congress from the Tenth North Carolina district at Henderson ville last Wednes day, has placed the Republican party in this district in a worse plight than the nomination of Blackburn at Wilkesboro has done in the Eighth district. That Ewart is already defeated no matter whom the Democrats may nominate, and that the rank and file of his own party will contribute largely toward this defeat is also certain. Republicans of more prominence in this city and county are declaring that they will not only not vote for him, but that they in tend to vote for the Democratic nomi nee. These Republicans take the view that they cannot give moral support to a man against whom such serious charges w ere brought and proven at the time Judge Ewart was appointed judge of the United States court for the western district of North Carolina. The party leaders will, of course, pretend to sup port the nominee, but even these will do so in such a lukewarm manner as to show plainer than words that they de sire his defeat. The whole truth of the matter is, the Republicans know and have for some time that Ewart cannot explain the charges that will be made against him on the stump; that the failure to ex- ' plain these charges will place the party in an embarrassing position; that he is , ... j..4. i -l being made in this month Of April. In- I ooomeu it. ucmu, aim Mini im- luium temational commerce of that kind can- to make this defeat so overwhelming not be maintained month after montfc i that it will forever and a way put Ewart without seriously complicating our in ternational finance and compelling the United States to become a heavy bor rower In the money markets of the old world. The reason for this falling off of ex ports is well understood. Our prices are so high that the well known rule of the political economists is perfectly exemplified. Imports are increasing be cause prices are high here and exports are decreasing. Prices are high for va rious reasons. The agitations in the labor world in part explain them. They almost wholly explain the increase of rents in New York city. The great ad vances in wages made last year and the year before have also entailed higher prices. To Be Held Here on May 2nd The Primary Submitted to the People. . A convention of the Democratic vo ters of Rutherford county, N.'C, will be held at the court house in Ruther fordton, N. C, on Monday, May 2nd, 1904, at 11 o'clock, a. m., for the pur pose of electing delegates to the Dem ocratic State Convention which will meet at Greensboso, N. C, on June 2'M-d, 1904. In order to elect delegates to the County convention, as called above, the Democrats of Rutherford county will meet at their several vot ing precincts on Saturday, April 30th, 1904, at 3 a 'clock, p. m.

Bravery of the ItiivHiuu Artist lu an Asiatic Caiupaisn. The late Vassili Vereschagin, the dis tinguished Russian artist and greatest of modern battle painters, aceompauied General Kauffman. who undertook the conquest of Tartary, Bokhara and the Pamirs, pushing the Russian domain up to the very gate of li.dia, says the Washington Post. M. Vereschagin ac companied Uie expedition, remaining throughout the entire campaign. The two paintings that made him famous, the "Kirghez Head Hunters" and "Russians Surprised by Tartars," were the result of this trip. The first is a life size painting of a group of wild Kirghez Tartars who have ridden down and captured some ! Russians, whose heads they are carry ing as trophies back to their encamp ment. The other represents an action in which the artist was personally en gaged. Riding one day with an ad- van -e guard of cavalry and taking hasty sketches of the central Asia to pography, they were suddenly surround ed and cut off by a large body of Tar tar cavalry. A bloody engagement fol lowed, both sides lighting desperately, fur in this campaign neither side gave quarter. The artist was thrown to the ground and almost killed as a result of his horse being shot and instantly killed running at full speed. The result of this was that he was cut off from the command, along with one of his friends, an officer of the detachment, who ha I been seriously wounded and had fallen from his horse. With magnificent cour age Vereschagin, stunned and his face covered with blood, sprang to his feet and, standing over the prostrate form of the wounded officer, emptied two re volvers, ten shots lu all, at the mob of howling Tartars closing in on them, bringing down a savage at every shot. The timely appearance on the scene of the main column was all that saved the pair. Later in this same campaign Veres chagin made his temporary headquar ters in the ancient Tartar city of Sam arkand, in Asia. The city had fallen Into the hands of the Russians only a short time before his arrival, and Gen eral Kauffman, thinking that a small garrison would be sufficient to hold it, left the place in charge of 500 Russians and departed with the main body of the army to reduce Bokhara. A few days later a force of U0.00O Tartars ap peared on the scene and laid siege to the town. Vereschagin. held no com mand whatever, but rather than see the Russians lose this important strong hold he assumed command and for five days held out against the over whelming force of Tartars until Gen eral Kauffman, to whom word had been sent, returned to the relief of the be leaguered city. For this lie was decorated by the czar with the cross of St. George, the high est military honor conferred by the Russian government. out of politics in this district. To use the ixpression of one well known Re publican: -'Yes. for party's sake 1 can and will vote for Ewart, but I will do like many others will do cast my bal lot for him and at the inie time pray for his defeat." Two prominent Re publicans were as'ted last week the status of the Congressiynal contest. One replied: "It is not a question of Judge Ewart's defeat that has been ac complished already. It is simply a question of what majority his opponent will receive, and for one I lelieve that when the ballots are counted next No vember it will be found that Mr. Ewart has lieen defe.ited by not less that 3.500 votes." The second Republican said: "Ewart's defeat will be accomplished by not less than 2,000 majority. I would not be surprised :"f it did not reach 3,000," And that is the way it goes. Republicans and not Democrats, predict ing the defeat of the Hendersonvilie man. Of course Ewart is not without his followers- The serious charges that have been brought against him are, in some quarters, disbelieved, and where this state of affairs exist are to be found hit? staunchest admirers. Others be lieve the charges against the nominee, but firmly 1-elieve that he is the best politician in the district, that he wil' be elected and that it is to their lest inter ests to aid with all their might his elec tion. Who will the Democrats place in the field as Judge Ewart's opponent? From present appearances, however, Congress man Gudger will be renominated, but not without opposition. Already Sol. Gallert, of Rutherford, is an avowed candidate and there may be others. But the concensus of opinion is that Mr Gudger, while not an ovcrstrong man, politically, is entitled to a renomination and it is almost certain that he will be chosen as Mr. Ewart's opponent. Necessary for choice'. 49 votes. ly the direction of the County com mittee the said precinct conventions will also each take a vote on the ques tion of "primarv" or "no primary" and report the result of such vote to the County convention, said report to be made to the Chairman of the Coun ty committee by the hour of 10 o'clock in the forenoon of Monday, May 2nd. 19)4.
