By way of midsummer greetings and fireworks Harper's Weekly, sends forth this Joyful refrain: "To Benjamin R. TiHman-Greeting! in at least a score of years no man in public life has reversed so quickly and so advantageously popular opinion of himself. The country now knows you for what you are an honest, capable, and generous statesman, equal to an emergency, controller of a naturally unruly tongue, tenacious of your own and the people's rights, an earnest foe, yet unwilling even in a moment of ex cessive Irritation to withhold from your most bitter enemy frank and manly re irninn of the credit justly his due. sciuarely and successively risen to with the sympathetic helpfulness of the imhtest Roman of them all. Fortunate indeed is he who possesses the friend ship of William B. Allison. "To Joseph W. Bailey Greeting! To have established, in a single debate, a reputation for pre-eminence as a law yer, an orator, and a statesman, among colleagues of genuine and recognizea abilitv, was an achievement worthy of a Ronton or a Clay. "To Nelson W. Aldrich Greeting! Sagacity, determination, and courtesy, supplemented by the faith of one's fel lows, make for and retain true leader ship. . "To Joseph B. Foraker Greeting. Conviction, the courage thereof and the respect therefore be yours. "To President Roosevelt Greeting!". All of us, perhaps., will assume that Harper's is sincere, even if we may have our debts as tii the reasons which prompt it to be silent toward "resident liooscvclt. Like the Washington Times, however, we believe there is glory enough to go around, yet the bestowal of "bomiuetW may be' deferred until the rate bill comes out of conference, liut where does old man' Chandler come in? '- There are many stand-patters on the tai iff 'out of congress. In New York the other "'night the kings of finance made merry at a "high tariff dinner," tlieii object being to show that this government should let well enough alone for those who enjoy the pro tective advantages of the Dlngley act. It was a business gathering, for busi ness men engaged In the pursuits which derive- most benefit from the law, and thev will exert every power and in fluence to prevent a change. But a cb -uigr is what the. country demands, and by Dial we mean the wage-earners anil consumers. We would be very inieli surprised if a grafter 'should give ui :hls lit aft: we would be us . loundcd if the- trusts should -demand i-vision.- .Sound and honest , govern ment is more to be desired than altered laws; but we ..need both. There is no hope that tin- republicans will champion .those planks, hut there Is a line opportunity for the democrats. "High tariff dinners" will not help the republican cause. Governor 'Glenn, as all of us are glad to know, is not fashioned after the manner of the mure or less diatinguish ed executive of Mississippi. Wrhen he believed that his presence was neces sary at Wadesboro he went there wil lingly enough and he assisted the au thorities in making an investigation-of the recent lynching without attempting to usurp the powers rightfully belong ing to the courts. He merely endeav ored to use the best offices of the state in seeking to find out and prosecute the offenders in a most outrageous proceed ing. We are not surprised, of course, that he did his duty, but we hasten to commend him because he deserves it. If the people of Wadesboro will be equally as fearless we will soon realize that such things cannot take place In a civilised community without the pun ishment of those who have shamed the commonwealth. The newspapers are having much to sav these days about the bad spelling of John D. Rockefeller in his earlier days, old letters show that he spelled the word "gentleman" with a j. All of which reminds us of the story told some years ago on a southern states man from the backwoods who wanted to feel tiie glory of being in the Iegis-1 latere. jAt a public meeting- his oppon - l! i. j . i . . i ..n fn' remarked that the statesman could not write his name. "Perhaps not,' was tno reply, "but i can make a cross mark on a bank check and y more money than you can." ,'Thjfct elected him. Most of us would not cure about grammar or spelling: if we had Mr. Rockefeller's money. The middon termtnntinn nf the Kotnf? . . . J murder trial at .Winston-Salem directs attention to the fact that men are not always convicted in North Carolina upon the evidence of witnesses '' un- w orthy of belief. Often it happens that a prisoner Is acquitted wnen ne ougni to be punished, but it is none the less true that there is no conviction unless guilt is proved beyond the shadow of a doubt. Judge Peebles was unquestion ably correct in instructing the jury to return a verdict of not guilty when the state had failed signally to make out a case. Events of this kind should convince the people, and especially the lawless element, that the proper place to have justice meted out is in a court room. ; ' The .-scientists are discouraging j us by the statement that-eating straw henies brings on insanity. We quite agree,- however, with the Montgomery Advertiser that the lunatics are Uiose who refuse to partake of the luscious fiuit. If the esteemed New York Evening Post contemplates an attack upon the people of North Carolina', because of that neck-tie party at -Wadesboro it will kindly remember that the victim was not a colored man. The turbulent scenes in the demo cratic state convention at Nashville might have been soothed if Fiddling Bob Taylor had suddenly appeared amid the resonant notes of his Statlt varius. The question as to when congress will adjourn takes rank with that which concerns the identity of the cruel person who chastised the lam ented Mr. Patterson. In many cities the heat prostrations are alarming and the first victims of the summer are being laid away. Here at home the same cannot be said of the blankets. John F. Coffin has been nominated Uq the prohibitionists as governor of Iowa and the liquor people are preparing' lit put him where he belongs. , Chairman Shonts of the Panama ca nal commission refuses to satisfy the people of the isthmus by admitting that be has resigned. There is some talk Of King Edward visiting America, but he is doubtless waiting for a personal Invitation from Tammany Hall. Having completed the cereinimy tlfo matchmaking. mothers of ' pa in w ill no longer lie after that dear Alfonso. Fy the time another arrives the ex perts will probably attribute earth quakes to other causes. The only real persons who have re fused tainted money are those to whom it has never been offered. -There' is no objection to tainted money so long as we are .protected against tainted meat. Inquiry Should Always He Marie. The Raleigh Evening Times in commenting upon what might, ho termed the dying words of the young convict McMillan, who was mortally wounded-while trying to escape, thinks It would be well for an Inves tigation to be made into the condi tion of the convict camp where Mc Millan worked and which he said were bad, or words to that effect. We agree with The Times Stich an investigation should be made, fo-'- as The Times says "It could do no harm." - The state has had a number of sensational outbursts about alleged cruelty at convict camps and upon investigation nearly all of them were proven false. Still it was wml that these investigations were made and it will be well for an investigation to be made as to the condition of things at the Guilford county camp where McMillan worked. There may be some truth in what McMillan saiid. If so it Is very 'necessary that some one be brought up with a sharp turn. Yet the statement may have been false, or better perhaps, under the circumstances which surrounded its making, may not have been in tended in the meaning in which it has been accepted. The dying con vict may simply have meant that con vict life, as is natural, is hard. Then in that event an investigation would vindicate the camp management, but in either case justice would be done and the public would have a verdict one way or the other. The investigation would, of course, be solely as to the conditions of the camp and not as to the death of Mc Millan. His end was unfortunate, but under the circumstances could not have been prevented. The guard was armed and instructed to stop es capes. He had to shoot. There Is nothing else for a guard to do when a prisoner tries to escape and after he is commanded to stop. To make a farce of the affair .would put an end to the efficiency of the guard and would leave the way practically open gome should but it have been shot in the legs, must be remembered that the time .was brief and exciting that we don't aiiDDOse the guard had passed an reexamination as a sharp shooter. Other convicts have forfeited their lives in this manner and others will, no doubt, do so. McMillan was no exception and because he was a man pf education and once had money and influential friends in fact, once a teacher in a Sunday School could not make him immune, nor was his tife more valuable than that of some ignorant white man who is a convict In Guilford's camp. Wilmington Messenger. . REPORT ON PACKING HOUSES WILL GOME (Ity the Associated Press.) Washington June 1 President Roose velt has decided to send to congress report made to him by Prof. Charles P.
