Another fact of common notoriety w.hich can be proved is that the election of Senators is not now ever free from ledera! influences -when "the legislature of 'tthe State which elects the nator is controlled by the same oartv which controls the Federal a tl ministration. 1 have in mind a recent election of a Republican United. States Senator in a nearby State. There i in that State a llepnblican judge who has lon-g 4een a sort of an idol to the .people of his party. The legislators,, .when they came to the State capitol, were unanimously for this man.i When they arrived there a Federal office holder Was the opposing candidate. He was armed with letters from other Federal officeholders, and telegrams from Washington poured into all of the legislators. The Federal of ficeholder was nominated after a hard light in the caucus, and since that time nearly every one of the Republican legislators had been given a Federal of fice. The will of the people' and the diaice of the legislators was frustrated by direct Federal influence. The man whom the people wanted had never been accused of anything which would place a blemish mpon his name, and the warm est friend of the man who was elected would not hesitate to acknowledge that the defeated candidate was far the su perior of the ; two men. "It has been demonstrated in many States that the people, when they go to the polls, vote-against fraud and cor ruption and for the best .men for party nominees. A striking .illustration of this was furnished lately in a Senatorial contest held at the primaries in a South ern State. One -man, backed by wealth and. by great political power, with nome ami foreign corporations, doing their utmost to bring his election, was op posed by a man who had nothing but faithful service and "great mental ability to commend him. He had no wealthy friends to put up the money with which to meet financially 1 the fight made against him, and he was poor himself, lie thought that his duties required his presence in Washington, and he did not even go to his State in order, to repair the fences which the combined wealth of his section was seeking to destroy. If there was a county in that State in which the poor but honest man did not gain a victory that eoainty never has sent and never will send in its returns." Sally J.

BLOOD AND NOT BREAD" Senator Hale Bitterly Attacks the Policy of England millions of Her Subjects Left to Starve In India While She Expands Her ' ' ' "... - . ' Wealth, and Entrgy to Ex tinguish. Two Republics Washington, June. 1. Senator Hale today bitterly attacked the policy of Great Britain, and on the floor of the Senate placed himself on record as a Boer sympathizer. He stated that with millions of starving subjects in India, England was spending hundreds of mil- ions to tear down republics while she calmly sat and watched the iblack hor rors in the Orient and waited for other nations to feed her subjects. He made sensational attack on the British policy of "blood and not bread," and for time staiggeied the Republicans in the Senate by his statements. .s soon as the morning business .was Opened Mr. Perkins presented a petition from the people of California Metting forth the horrors of starvation in Initta and asking that Congress appropriate $800,000 to relieve the suffering. Mr. Perkins dwelt at length on the need of immediate action and pictured the con dition of the natives. The world is horrified at the condi tions now prevailing in India," said Mr. Hale. dt is sickening, to say tne Jeast.

The largest and most enthusiastic erowd of Democrat's that have mt in Henderson county since the campa'gn of '7( met at the court-house today to hear the speech f our next (iovernor, Hon. Charles B.

A crowd of three or four hundr 1 people, I among them, many ladies, met him at the depot, and twenty or thirtv gailv-decked h horsemen escorted him to his hotel, while lhe band played and the crowd cheered. Mr. Aycock was looking well and seemed much pleased with his re ception here, and especially wn he pleased with the "owers presented by the ladies who met him at the depot. "To the iiext (lovernor of North Caro lina" they all said. The Republicans seemed all to have crawled into their holes. Not a doy.eii appeared in the streets during the march from! the .depot.

Thus it is that thev keep our county i in the Republican ranks. But notwithstanding the great effort to keep the Republicans awav. Mr. Ay cock made many votes for the amend ment, e are glad that he came. Not a nejro came out, nor did we want them.j There are three hundred and sixty njegro voters iu this county. They. hold the balance of power; the Re publican majority in the county has been only about 2.j0. The countv will be Democratic (after the amendment is adopted.

Tendon, June 1. Although the War Office niade public no additional dis- patches from cither Cteiieral Roberts or General Duller, it is believed here that the British commander in chief is well on nis way to Pretoria, after havinir raised the nuion jack over Johannes burg. Such dispatches as aie to bo had in- Iwnte, however, that the Boer :tiicy of inactivity has changed io one of ag- - 'Josglon anI that the burghers are now making a desperate effort to hold beck Roberts' nnny from the Transvaal capi tal. When last heard from Pretoria was still in possession of the Boers. One dispatch indicates that the most igorous fighting is in progress south of the city and that there are repeated skirmishes between Pretoria and Jo hannesburg. A dispatch from a correspondent with IIf borts army, dated (lermiston, and sent Wednesday, said that the Boer forces were concentrating six miles south of the capital for a new and desperate iiind. 1 he front extended twelve miles. The burghers' ainly was tstill intact, as (Jeneral Rolcits had not tak en a gun or a prisoner. Other dispatches, however, indicate that the Boers are retiring from the southward of Pretoria, that 'they arc going in an easterly direction and that the lighting is degenerating into a se- ries of skirmishes and guerilla attacks The best opinion is that the war is prac- tically over It is thought likely that the Boer fore es in front of Roberts are retiring to uyaenuurg, in tne mountains, une iv. 1500 men now holding Duller in check at lalngs .ek may letire straight nortli ward in the same direction and a force or u.uuu men may ie nnauy garnereu at the mountain stronghold. These may enrrr on the war for some time, while guerrilla bands raid and attack in other directions.- . It is said on good anthorlty that the blowing up of the Begbie works at Jo hannesburg has reduced the Mipplv of ammunition so much that the Boer forces are badly crippled. This is said to hav been cabled to-the War Office by General Robeits. Dispatches from I.iorenzo Marquez in dicate that Pretoria is evidently simply waiting for the arrival of the British. They say that it is evident that Roberts' advance force will soon be there. Dispatches from Pretoria confirm the i (-ports of Kruger's flight, the appoint nu lit -of a citizens' committee to keep older until the British army reaches the city, and of the British prisoners being ii charge of English officers who were released for the purpose. The Boer capital is now reported from Lorenzo Marquez to be at Middlebmg. or jjydenunrg. and it is inougnt ina; President Kruger may be at one of those places. It is suggested from Lo renzo Marquez that the burgher capital will Ik shifted further east than Mid- dlcburg when occasion requires. The absence of news from General French who, at last accounts, was mov ing on Pretoria, leads many to believe that he is near the city, if he has not al ready entered it. and that it was his ap proach, unknown even to General Rob erts, which led to the Boer collapse and Kruger's flight. The report of Kruger's capture is discredited. The Daily Mail has this dispatch from Pretoria: "Pretoria. Wednesday President Kruger and the government left Pre- trua last night. Smuts, the State At torney, is the only member remaining. At a meeting this morning, the burgo master, Potgieter de Souza. and the Secretary of War were handed the pro- 1 visional administration of the towns I affairs.

MORE TALK ON TRUSTS Debate in the House Along Political Lines VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS The Proposed Constitutional Amend ment Falls for the Lack of a. Two thirds Vote Th Newlands Idea Falls Flat-GrosTenor.TIakes an Awk ward Explanation In Regard to the lefet of Attorney General Tlonnett Washington, June 1. Without liminary business, at 11 o'clock prc- the House today resumed the debate on the resolution proposing an anti-trust amendment to the Constitution. Owing to the early hour of convening .there were few members present and the de bate opened quietly and without inci dnt. Mr. Fleming of Georgia reiterated tho charge that the Republicans had no in tention of putting through both houses either the resolution or the Littlefield bill. Mr. Hamilton of Michigan said if there was to be control of trusts. It must be exercised by the Federal gov ernment, and a constitutional amend ment such as was proposed in the pend ing resolution was essential. Mr. Newlands of Nevada said he con curred with the minority in the viw that the proposed constitutional amend ment was a makeshift, intended to meet a political emergency, and without se rious intention of finally being incorio ratetl in the Constitution, but he said he differed with the minority as to what should be done. He would vote for it because he believed the Federal govern ment should provide enlarged powers rather than that it should not exercise any power at all. He appealed io the Democrats to jom in passing the resolution aim sending it to the Republican Senate. Let the Sen ate be urged to take the responsibility of defeating it. Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts defined trust as a "business bastard." which Mr. Hanna could not palm off as the result of the thrift, and fair dealing of l he American people. Mr. Grosvcnor of Ohio devoted a few minutes to explaining that the failure, of the Ohio .Republicans to nominate ttoruer General Monuett did not indi cate that, they were opposed to the pros ecution of trusts. "Mr: 3Ionnett had had - two terms and it was the well-estab lished rule that no man should be -a can didate for that office a third time. Be sides, he said, Mr. Monnett was not a candidate for re-election. Mr. Lentz of Ohio said it was ex- ceedinglj' pleasant for him to hear Mr. GrosvcHor apologize for the third time for the treatment of Attorney General Monnett by the Republican party of Ohio. Mr. Monnett, he said, had prose cuted oue trust in Ohio m spite of th temptation of a bribe of $40,000 and iu .spite of the browbeating of the Re publican press of the State. Mr. Lentz had read an interview of the date of May P., l!H.i, with Mr. Monnett in which he predicted that the Republicans of the State would be pun-islu-d for their treatment of the trusts. "Mr. Monuett does not say he? was turned down," observed Mr. Grosvcnor. "You know," replied Mr. Lentz. "that Mr. Monnett was a candidate for Gov ernor as the champion of the people against trusts, yet not a single Republi can delegate dared raise his voice in his favor. He got but twenty-eight votes. Yon have a reputation as a mathematician. Here is a problem for you: If Mr. Monnett, for fighting one trust got only twertty-eisht votes, how manv votes would he have received if he had fought all the trusts?" (Laugh ter and applause). Mr. Pearce. of Tennessee, read a signed interview with General Grosve iior. printed some time ago. declaring that a constitutional amendment was unnecessarv to deal with trusts. After further remarks by Mr. Reeves, of Illinois, and Mr. Clayton, of New, York, Mr. DeArmond of Missouri, clos ed the debate for his side with a speech an hour ami a half in length. He said lie found no difficulty iu defining hi position. He was opjMised to the hollow, mockery of going through the motions of sending the measure to the Senate to be buried there. Tho people would not be deceived. The trust evil was not to them as a farce comedy. It was a se rious, all-important problem to 9 solved, ami no mere political trick would le satisfactory to them. The proposed amendment, ho said, bore upon its face irrefutable evidence that it was not in tended to be placed in the'eonstitution to control trusts, but to be placed in the campaign to delude TOters. (Democratic applause.) Mr. Cummings said he could tell a wolf in sheep's clothing and therefore would vote against the amendment. Mr. McCall, Republican, said he could not follow his party in this matter. A personal matter between Mr. Ray and Mr. Snlzer. of New York, continued from last night, then came up and Mr. Sulzer abused Mr. Ray so roundly that the speaker ordered the sergeant at arms to quiet him. Mr. Littlefield then closed for the lie publicans. " The resolution failed ayes 1;4, nay 133, not the necessary two thirds. A' recess was then taken till 8 o'clock. At the nieht session several bills re lating to Indian affairs were passed and at 10 o'clock the House adjourned. Census TO an at the White House ' Washington, June 1.
