THE SEMI-WEEKLY iiit.ki: FliijJA , SEPTEMBER 2Vhsm. ''WW THE FI.OPPEU How can any man respect little Mc Kinley -when be ia familiar at all with his record? A staunch, unfaltering supporter of the Force bill for the dragonading and oppression of the southern white voters, for the sole pur pose of giving more votes to his party, for capturing soma other states, and continuing in power the most vicious and violent party that ever dominated our country or wrought great Tuin in the years. He the most rampant, ex treme of protectionists, believing in tha: fine latter-day republican morality thai It blghly proper and equitable that the many should help to (enrich the few. and that It was both ideal phil osophy and refined ethics to put a great bur.Ten of taxes upon the toilers and brealN"';r!ners of a great republic that the rich men should become richer. That is ifco essence of McKinley protec tion and the underlying theory of his extreme tariff tax that bore his name. It was not high enougih in robber prin ciple, -so he had a more drastic tax measure passed the congress when he became president using Dingley, Yan kee advocate of tax robbery,, to further it ana coach it through the bouse. Then look at his record as a war pres ident. He was a big sham from the start until now he is a big shame. He has deliberately prostituted himself to the corrupt leaders who seek foreign conquests from selfiai consideration, who are for "the make' .wen at the -expense of the Oon-i citation ana the Declaration of Independence, and who care neither for the lives of their countrymen nor the right?, personal safety, property and even lives of 12, '000,000 of people who have a right to liberty and independence. If you think McKinley "is all right," is a square, honorable, just man, read the following extracts from him look ing at the dates and th.:n sec him now '"hounding on the dogs of war," seek ing to wipe out the nom;3 and exterminate- the Filipinos. We give two sam plesOf his utterances which were hu mane, just, noble, hut every particle of which he has repudlat-Jl by his false conduct within a year. Reading these, and other honorable and proper senti ments, worthy of an American citizen, we earn have no respect for the con temptible little fellow now doing so much harm to the civilization and good name of the people of this republic. Read: "I speak not of forcible annexation, for that cannot be thougM of. That by our code of morality would be criminal aggression." President McKinley to congress, December 7, 1897. "Human rights and constitutional privileges must not be forgotten in the race for wealth and commericiai su premacy. .... The government of the people, and not by a few of the peo ple; it must rest upon the free consent of the governed and all of the governed. Power, it must be remembered, which "is secured by oppression or usurpation, or by any form of injusticeis soon de throned. We have no right in law or morals to usurp that which belongs to another, whetttier it is property or pow er." William McKinley, December 22, 1890. .THIS ir!VIV VHSI ' V f -HtfIl (MH. "The University law school sends twenty-seven applicants befoe the su preme court to practice law. The Mes senger as a staunch friend of higher ed ucation Is glad that the venerable in stitution of learning starts off well in :'the present session. It opened,, we : think, with 415 students, a greater at tendance than ever before. It is said it is twenty-five per cent ahead of the last yeaT's opening. Think of eighty- seven of the ninety-seven counties be'ng represented. We hope it will soon have the whole number represented. Japan has a student there and eleven states iare represented. It has been published that 192 new students are ont hand. President Alderman addressed the student-body and gave them an appro priate, edifying talk. We copy from a report in Raleigh Post: "A University lis as a community, he -said; each man has certain opportuni ties and has the privilege of accept ing or Abusing them. It is also a' dem--ocracy. "Dr. Alderman made some interest ing statements. The University ha furnished 56 per cent of the Governors n iof this state and 48 per cent of the United States senators, besides furnish ing other states with governors and senators. "Each one of you, before me," he remarked," is picked out from a large group of. others in this state. It is as if some one had lined up 5,000 boys on a, plain and you were ohosen from that great gathering to come to the Univer sity. For each one of you here rep resents 5,000 other men who will never eonre here." He said that 'while one man who had never attended any sort of college out of 10,000 reached emi nence In this world, one out of every fifty college men reached pood t tons of honor." The University 1& not only prospering as to attendance and in excellent edu cational service, but ft is command ing more and more of the admiration, confidence and patronage of the good people of North Carolina, For 104 years It baa been doing good work In behalf of genuine education, and for the ad vancement of the state. It is the bead and' capstone of the admirable system of education by the state, tha public schools the every body's schools be ing the foundation. People who are broad-gauged and generous, and do not -object to being taxed to help to edu- oate the children of worthy poor nelgh- f bora who could not do it for themselves, -are also willing to be taxed a few cents, or a few dollars, if It would be really necessary, to help o educate in the higher studies the Ingenuous and prom Jfs&ng on of some other neighbor who ie too poor in this world's goods to give his boy -who hungers for learning the opportunities of liberal scholastic learning.

PETTHili ICVr , F1CKKTT L.IC.L.N Some years ago, how many we do not recall, but probably more than twelve, our gallant friend m Scotland Neck, Halifax county, published a much need ed article on Psttigrew and Pickett, and it has had 3uch a ?ale the edition is exhausted. Recently he received an order for fifteen copies in one week. Many northern soldiers seek it, one gentleman, a soldier on the northern side, lately ordered five -copies for friends in the north. Soon after its publication it attracted attention in northern states among old soldiers. Quite ten or eleven years ago the Phil adelphia Press had a reference to Pet tigrew's splendid fighting brigade. We preserved what it said, and recently go ing over some papers in cur library, we exhumed it and copy as follows: "Webb's Philadelphia brigade in the three days lost 49 per cent. The" Brit ish infantry at Salamanca lost only 12 per cent; the Light Brigade at Balak lava lost 57 pea cent, and Pickett at Gettysburg 25 per cent. The North Caro lina brigade of Pettigrew'a division lost in two days at Gettysburg GO per cent., and the Twenty-sixth North Car olina regiment mentioned above lost 35 per cent. "It may be added that the North Carolinians also lost, by on of the fre quent mischances that govern Jie di rection of popular praise, their thare of 'the glory that their oravery should Wave gained, and which Pickett's di vision gathered in for itself." Captain Bond should publish a new and enlarged edition containing new matter he has in hand. We lately cop ied from an intelligent northern sol dier who 'had fcugh't North Carolinians and regarded them "as soldiers of reso lution and desperately brave." A gen tleman who fought aginst Pickett's men, (a northern soldier) writes that "he has; for years felt that General Picke'tt was perhaps the most over rated man in your army or ours." We make an extract from a letter of a northerner written from Asheville but recently that shows that some northern men have a correct insight (in part) into the true character of Lincoln. He writes: "Old Abe. with all! his kindness and goodness had a very low streak in him, in much of his talk, and in his treatment of General McClellan, which was ignoble to the very last degree." This is the opinion of a republican. To Cure LaGrlppo lu wo Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists . refund the money if it falls to cure. E. W. Grove's signature is on each box. 25c. Tti;I; sa.YIPLKS The Asheville Gazette announced that Hon. Thos Settle has been misrepre sented as 'to his having declared ' that he would support the suffrage amend ment. It said that only a part oi the truth had been given, that he only favored a part of the amendment. We have not seen what the Gazette gave, but have seen in another paper a statement of its denial, ' etc. Th? AshevUle Citizen is an able, faithful democratic newspaper. It has inter viewed Mr. Settle, who denies the re ported interview in the Gazette, a paper that has flopped from democracy to black-radicalism. It says "that he had seen the newspaper articles regarding his position, and if there had been any reason for a modification of his views he would have made it at the time of the publication." So far as we know Mr. Settle will support the amendment to the constitution as it was first announced. The Gazette .on 15tJh September stat. ed that Mr. Frank Thompson, an ex cellent citizen and democrat of Onslow, a man of sense and an efficient member of the last legislature, had been sent by the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad "to secure an injunction ex actly similar to that obtained by the soulless corporations, in the United States court to prevent the collection of the increased tax levied by the dem ocratic corporation commission. Thus Is the jewel of consistency shattered' The Citizen in replying says the charge "is either a deliberate misstatement of fact or the display of an ignorance so dense and inexcusable as to amount to criminality. The Atlantic and North Carolina is not in control of directors chosen by Che last legislature, but by directors chosen by tha republican populist legislature that the Gazette very properly denounced until 'ts lack of principle and love of money led it to sell itself to the republican bosses. The directors of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad chosen by the last democratic legislature will not as sume their duties for some weeks yet." The Messenger was lately mUSss concerning the propose fae negroes somewhere the republic. In conned The Messenger said: "It is more practicable and humane and will be, we doubt not, much pre ferred by the negroes to a scheme of African colonization which is much more remote. JWe believe that the "real colored men" those with more T less of white admixture can live in peace and harmony with the whites, as can the best part of the pure negro race, but not the class from whom come all tha lawless, the criminal the cut throats, murderers, house-burners rap ists, and rogues." See how this can be "perverted or misunderstood by a combine"' editor. The Times-Mercury published at Hick ory, made this grossly false and dis ingenuous comment: "You see the Wilmington Messenger encourages the mixing of the races as a remedy to reduce crime." "The Wilmington Messenger a "white supremacy" paper intimates that amalgamation of the races is the only or one means of stopping race riots, rapes and such crimes." We omit a few words In the last para graph because they contain a very er roneous statement, not necessary to notice here. These samples show how the enemies of the white race, and the friends of negro supremacy handle questions and democratic editors thus early dn the campaign for good govern ment in North Carolina. ho in; folk The organizing of the traveling men of Wilmington into a body to work for the progessive city for such it has be come is to be commended heartily. It means more business, more pullinj to gether for a common end, more general prosperity for the city. When men unite heartily and earnestly cc-operate without friction, it is certain that ex cellent results must follow. Great suc cess attend the new bus'ness organi zation that is well manned and will be doubtless well worked. The Messenger lately asked if there was no way to bring Captain Day "into court for bad conduct or to dis place him." The Asheville Citizen copies and adds: "Yes; the directors can recommend his removal, and the governor will then be required to appo'nt a superinten dent of the penitentiary. Of course the governor can reappoint Captain Day. His removal should be recom mended without fur thro delay." Amen! to the last clause. If Russell reappoints after this lot him bear the odium of his folly and madness. KilKVITIES Some of the gold papers are discover ing that there are two sides to tiie trust question.

That was a notable array of distin guished lawyers at Asheville last week, agulng the railroad injunction case. This important case in an action brought by the railroad companies in this state to restrain the corporation commission from assessing their prop erty for taxation at what they allege is an unjust and unequal valuation. When Judge Simonton, some weeks ago, issued a temporary restraining or der, there was a great clamor raised and much indignation expressed by some persons and papers at what they denounced an outrageous and illegal usurpation of power and assumption of jurisdiction by Judge Simonton. But to show the folly and injustice of such a clamor it is to be noted that last week, before the opening of the argument. Judge Simonton asked the lawy on both sides if they had any doubt out his having jurisdiction in this f m, and not one expressed the slight : doubt. Plttsboro Record. Ilia World Grain Crop The crop estimates of the Hungarian Minister of Agriculture possess much in teres, thoiurh not alwavs of the hiirh- est authority. One of their main points is the statement that the French wheat crop will be some 326.000,000 bush, els, or 45,000,000 bushels under that of last year. The American wbeat crop is placed at 500,000,000, but American estlmaates place it about 555,0000,000 bushels. The Hungarian Minister credits Russia with a crop cf 370, 000,000 bushels, but In view of recent famine reports this seems excessive.

Th three governments interested In Samoa-jr Great BrUain, Germany and the United Suites have been considering the claims arising out of the bombardment last summer. In which the American forces, under Admiral Jautx, and tho British forces under Captain Sturdee participated. As a preliminary alep, Cht: British government hzm signified a purpoc? to adopt In this care the prin ciple Observed in tLe damage done by the bombardment of Atexandna. Egypt, namely : That private property deetroyed as a necessity incident to the prosecution of naval and military op erations would be paid for. Wnfce ap plying zhis 1 general principle, the ad justment of the various claims is yit 10 be made according to the circum stances of eac&- The claims are being considered un der two main head, viz: Tnose art ing from ,the Joini naval operations of the British and the American forces, and, second, ttnoee growing out of the op erations of the Somoan natives, chitfly the followers of Mataafa. Under the first head, caused by the Briush Tmerican operations, are included the claims resulting .from the actuaj bom bardment, euca as damage done by shells, and also those resulting out of the demolition of buildings, and dke incidental damage to private property, whidh at times became necessary as a means of checking the native upris ing. The damage done by shells and projectiles has tor nod out to be com paratively small, and mudh the larger amount if for the incidental destruction and damage of houses and proierty as a precautionary measure. The second class of claims, growing out of the depredations by the Samoan natives, 'has been more di ill cult of adjustment. The officials have hesitat ed to impose a heavy money burden on the Samoans and yet they have f e t it essential tCiat the Samoans should unlerstand (that they cannot cause whollesale damage to the property cC the whites, and then go freo of obli gation. Thus far it has not been pos sible to formulate even a general prln Jciple for considering this clans of claims. It is understood that the British and German authorities are agreed on tho general principle that the bombard ment and naval claims should be re embursed. This, howevsr, it ,s assert ed, imposes no obligation on Germany to share in meeting the claims, as the German fores did not participate in the bombardment. It is saM, also, that no proposition has been made to, have Germany pay a part of the damage done by the Mataafa forces. The course of tho United States has not yet been fully determined, either as to the bombardment, or the claims arising from native depredations. So far as known, all ttv c'aims undeT consideration are for property loss, there being no present basis for esti mating claims for tha los of life among Che British-American forces, during the operations. .' h ( Y-lloiv Fi-urnt Miami Jacksonville, Fla., September 25.

It la bard to rea lm what tremendous changes have taken place within the memory of peo ple who are now aliro and hearty. In tne &0s tho South Carolina line was considered one of the best equipped and fastest roads m the country I find by the old schedule that the night ex press between Charleston and Columbia which is a distance of about 150 mllca made the trip, when It had good luck, in twelve hours and fifteen minutes, but the public was warned not to ex pect such a feat every day. The freight service between the two points was scheduled to corer tho run la twenty nine hours, there or thereabouts. That wafi a shade better than four and one half miles an hour, and was condcred so fast that there is a special order to trainmen to stop at the firs: siding 'in dense fogs and wait for same to lift.' It seems to me that order gives one a wonderful picture of the good old times. Think of a trough freight roosting on a siding, waiting for a fog to lift! Nowadays tho passenger trains make the run from Charleston to Columbia In four hour exactly. According to the 52 schedule, there was an express that left Charleston at 5 p. m. and ar rived in Hamburg at 6 the following morning. The distance is 136 miles. A freight for Aiken, 120 miles away, left at the same hour, and rixiohed its des tination at 9:40 next night. Ten miles an hour was considered romarkable speed for passenger trains in those days and an o!d ichabitant toM me that many people declined to risk their necks at such a gait From what 1 hear of the rolling stock and tjuipment. they showed their ood sense.
