Congress meets in about six or seven weeks. Unless an unexpected chanse takes place legislation affecting the present tariff duties will be . attempted; and the beneficiaries of the present law, at least in some instances, are be . : ginning to prepare for the conflict. Notably the sugar trust. . But the methods resorted to by these organizations to accomplish. 'their de signs are frequently "past finding out." until the thing wanted is obtained. The Sugar trust has just begun a war of cut-nrices with the beet sugar peo ple, but confine their cheaper rates to the Missouri basin, the territory here tofore more easily and cheaply ssr-'lied by the beet sugar manufacturers of Mis souri, Nebraska and the North-wesr. The beet sugar people claim that the trust is selling refined sugars within the territory mentioned below the cost of raw sugar, with a view of crushing the beet sugar industry, after which the price will be advanced. The beet sugar, folks, however, say that rather than meet the cut of 14 cents per pound below the market they will invade the Trust's eastern territory as one frac tion of the cut will put their sugar on all rhe markets. The strange position, however, taken by the beet sugar people is outlined in the following statement by Mr. Ozn'ard. President of the American Beet Sugar Association. Commenting upon this war by the sugar trust he says: "In view of this act on the part of the Sugar Trusi the United States Congress can ill afford to- inaugurate the policy of reducing the present rate of duty by reciprocitj' or in any other way which would have the certain ef fect of enriching the Trust on one hand and on the other the killing of the most promising industy in the agri cultural business of America. What we would like to know is if to the present rate of duty, is not duo the ability of the Sugar trust to impose a full price upon consumers east of he beet sugar territory while at the same time making war 'on the latter in tho west by this cutting of prices below cost of raw material? And we would also like to know if this apparent war, just npon the meeting of congress, is not thorough ly understood by both parties thereto, and begun for the purpose of influenc ing congress against any reduction of duty? ' If is all mighty queer proceedings to us, and seems to be sandy. s . A public meeting of anarchists was held; in London last Saturday, in which expressions of approval of the assassi nation of Mr. MeKinley were applaud ed, one erf the prominent and most ve hement sPpkers being,! so alleged at least a New Yorker. In$ref erence to the New Yorker, if this prt; ofthe statement be true, ail .Sr-0. have to say is he possessed intelli- pence enough to wait until he got out of this country to fulminate his bru tality, and will continue, to show sense by remaining away. But the fact that such a meeting can be held anywhere and applaud so hei nous an act is evidence, and all the evi dence needed, tp satisfy mankind that only prompt and stringest laws, even to the point of excess, can properly deal with this class. Utterly destitute of all moral sensibilities, one should no sooner discover him or herself to be of this class than he or she should be promptly dealt with. A Devil's Island is the placa for all who profess such senti ments. If left unnoticed this very meeting in London may be fol lowed, as it no doubt was intended it should be, by another such tragedy as that which has but recently out raged civilization. The mad-dogs should be suppressed before, not, after, such crime. S . British iron manufacturers have de termined to meet trust with trust as the only means of saving their own home market against American inva sion.; As an interesting item in connect tion with this iicw British movement a special cable from London to the N,ew York Herald' under d;ite of the Gtb. states: ."Speaking of this billion dollar trust, by the way, recalls a curious storv which was told me the other day, that a consolidation of all Enslish stee! plants is already under way, and that, in view of the encroachments of the Mor gan syndicate, the British steel mefc. believing their existence at stake, al ready have taken steps to go one bet ter than the American trust, and. if possible, carry the war into the enemy's country. '.. "For soiie time past a number of leading British chemists have been at work experimenting with vanadium steel. Among th laboratories thus oc cupied, is the Government Mint, the object being considered of sufticieut importance to warrant such action. "As shown it the Paris Exposition; a vanadium steel drill, with dull red het. is able to pierce with ease the toush est Krupp armor plate. Hence the pos sibilities of producing vanadium steel in large quantities is one which should carry with it the control of the steel markets of the world. "But though the value of vanadium as a steel amalgum has long been re cognized, the metal itself has been so rare that its utility has been merely theoretical. Within the last year, how everfi a" mine of vanadium ore has been discovered in one of the Western tates of America, and the discoverers have brought samples of their find to England for chemical treatment. "Upon getting wind of this, the pro moters of the English Steel Trust are camping on the trail of the American mine owner, in order to secure control of his property. A few days ago he returned to America, and agents of the British steel concerns followed by he next ship. It is an interesting race between Mr. J. P. Morgan and hi? British rivals as to who "Nvill first cor ral this prized individual, and, still more, his nrized possession." ' ; .. Whatever Mr. Roosevelt's motive may b in making southern appoint ments, his selection of ex-Governor Jones, of Alabama, to be United States District Judge for that state is to be commenTled. Governor .Tones is a gen- j tleman of the highest character, of great abilitv as a lawvev of inflexible integ rity in every relation, fitted in all re spects for the high and important office, lie is a -life-long Democrat, and though not sympathizing with some of the poli cies which have in late years been in jected into Democratic platforms, has supported the party nominees. He is: President, Collector Duncan will ap or was a memb?:: of the recent cousti-' point Populists when he can't find suit tutional convention of his state whbh able Republicans to fill positions within met to eliminate the negro f rom poli-! dilsal- Ex-Secretary of State Cy. Thompson was yesterday appointed chief clerk in the Internal Revenue office of this city to fill the vacancy created by the death of Mr. II. C. Thompson of Orange, Republican.-' Or it may have been the similarity of names that: stood the ex-Secretary in favor and not a. plane, one. having for its basis respecta- ize tne iSumK i - estabusnmexn ui waier-worns,' em. n That noble old Spartan General Wade Hampton, was quoted recently as say ing, referring to Tillman and McLaurin, "both are d--d rascals." - Tillman is said to be behind a move ment to get all aspirants for the sena torship to succeed McLaurin out of the way and make a united effort to re-elect General Hampton to the senate. It is a consummation devoutly to be wished, no matter who is behind it, but, whe i we remember that it was Tillman and Tillmanism that retired the general from the senate, Tillman's support of him now as the surest means of defeat ing McLaurin is suggestive, to say the least, quite of the character of Mr. Dick Croker's sudden conversion to the support of Mr. Shepherd in New York city. However, we shall not quarrel with the influences which have caught Till man by the nape of the neck "just ' so the result will -be the election of the old senator, but will hope and pray for a like blessing wiihm the near future when' a respectable, representative man wilP succeed Tillman. . 5 , The statements made by -Raleigh banks in response to a call for reports showing their condition at the close of business September 30, show a very gratifying growth on the part of these excellent financial institutions. The re ports were published in the Post of Sunday and Tuesday. They show that the amount of deposits carried by the banks of the city reaches the enormous aggregate of $1,747,242.03, and the re ports throughout are such as. to give genuine pleasure to all concerned when they contemplate the showing made. The gentlemen who preside over the affairs of these solid old financial houses have just cause fcr a feeling of pride on account of the complete con fidence which the people .have in ihem and their institutions. They are great factors in the progress and development of the capital city and the section roundabout, and their steady growth is the best of evidence that with each succeeding year they are becoming more .and more indispensable for the. transaction of the great volume of bus iness here. The people of Raleigh are proud of their banks. The Post, for itself, sincerely con gratulates the Morehead City Ice Com pany upon its brilliant success of: a 20 per cent dividend for the past half-year. However, this is a North Carolina corporation and it has been solemnlr declared by a judicial dictum that 4 per cent is as much profit as", any in vestment ought to return. If this pol icy is established, as seems likely, we may well expect such "good times" as the Morehead City enterprise enjoyed the past year to be entirely of the past. i No arrangements. however, will ' be made to make good the losses during off years, or failure to make the,.,4 per cent. But we congratulate our Morehead City friends, all the same. ' s " Following the idea laid down by the is a wise move on the part of our friends, as they will realize after it is done. Ex-United States Senator W. D. Washburn of Minnesota, Republican, says "Illegal trusts must be controlled; reciprocity treaties must be ratified; the Nicaraugua canal must he built; we must have freer trade." Coming down to good Democratic doc trine, for a life-long, rock-ribbed Repub lican, "very gracefully. - Mayor Van Wyck is slated by Tam many for a Supreme Court judgeship in recognition of his faithful services to Tammany as the first mayor of greater New York. -The anti-Tamma-nyites concede that Mr. Van Wyck has earned this recognition. To finally settle the . matter let Boston challenge the Columbia for a race as to which city shall "keep" the cup. .. Roosevelt and the South (Minneapolis, Minn. Times, Rep.) President Roosevelt is credited with a determination to make fitness a con uicion precedent, hereafter, to appoint ment to federal offices in the southern states. If he carries out his determina tionand, if he has made it, that is what he will do there will be wails from the southland, but the country at large and the south in particular can afford to disregard the groans of office holders, who are republicans for place merely and who have not hesitated to menace the republican party with, con travention of the will of the masses to tiie voters of that party, as represented py delegates in national conventions. ' 'it is an open secret that for years the south, practically, has held the balance of power in repunlican conventions has wielded that power to greater effect than it was able to do' in democratic national, conventions. This is an absurd ity on -the face of it and the republican president who will disregard threats of reprisal in 1004 will fi::d the peopie with him and is far more likely to have a united north at his back than if he paltered with delegates from states wherein his party is practically pow erless. , ? ; Anyone who has ever attended a re publican convention, and noted the per sonel from the south, will be at no loss to ' determine that the sooner such men are relegated to private life and are prevented from having any voice in the destinies of the government, the better for all sections of the country.

' Without Tegard to the cflocfc 5uch ap-ipiupose on the part of the Collector pointments may have upon parties, they are an assurance of so much better ser vice, of so much higher character in the service, that they will be welcomed by all good citizens. . The appointments of. the president so far made, that of the District Attorney, for Kansas, Govl Jones to be Judge in Alabama, not excepiing those so far indicated in other states, shows a. most commendable purpose to raise tne public service to a higher J J' to wipe out the Populist party by thus providing for about all that is left of that picturesque performance. It is but just to add it is about the best selection Mr. Duncan could have made without leaving his party altogether. . ' (New York Evening Post. Ind.) Of , course, this Jones appointment is not I to be regarded as an isolated act. but rather as the first illustration of , a policy which the president means to pur sue in the South. Mr. Roosevelt's pur pose is to appoint only fit men to office in that, section, as elsewhere. Being a Republican, he will naturally give the preference to representatives of his own party when it presents worthy candi dates, but he knows that in many re gions the Republican organization is so weak and disreputable that it can not offer a man fit to fill a vacancy. In sucli cases Mr. Roosevelt will insist up on finding the right type of man, even if he is compelled, as in this Alabama instance, to take a Democrat. It will be An immense gain for the Reublican party to have such a principle estab lished, and thus to escape responsibility for unfit appointments made solely on partisan grounds. : . $ If you have a baby in the house yon will wish to know the best way" to check any unusual looseness of the bowels, or diarrhoea so common to small children.
