NBTV ANTITRUST LAW.
There la one feature of the new tar.IT
law which has so far prov.Aed but
little coalmen'. That future |# . ;i, c
stringent anti-tout latv nohta£ted in
the last live tedious, which were added
ou the motion of Seuator Mergan of
Alabama.
This ueiv anti-trust law, as the New
York Times remarks, appear# to Imre
been aimed directly nt the sugar trust.
The terms of It at exactly the case or
Hut orgaataaHon. The oimb.natlons
or# tiwro whlcli are "engagol in j m -

"The so-called sugar trust Is “engaged
In importing" great quantities of raw
sugjir; it Is "Ipteodsd n> operate In re-
siralnt of free, competition In lawfal

ate; It la Intended "to Increase the mar

it is notorious that these bare been
the alma and Intentions of tlie’sugar
trust, and that tlie treat’s purpose hns
bee* accomplished. If any fresh cvl,
dunce be needed, It Is supplied by Hie
admissions and declarations of the
trust's controlling officer*, themselves.
In tlie testimony freely, given by them
a few weeks ago before tho senatorial
committee of which Mr. Gray was
chairman. f
The bent and quickest way to render
tho trust liannlcu Is to deprive It of
Its tariff protection, which can be done
without sacrificing lliu revenue the
treasury needs. But If this cannot lie
done, we do not doubt that the adinlu
istration will push the new anti-trust
law for all It is worth.

llie division of the vote opposed to
die return of Breckinridge to copgrew
came near being a fntal dhrluion. Ow
ens’ majority over him is very small,
though tho total majority against him
runs up into the thousands. The force
of tho rebuke administered to thin un
worthy representative of the, people Is
hardly lessened by tho fact that lie nar
rowly missed a renom(nation that
would have been claimed by him to be
a “vindication.”
Tlie man’s position Is a pitiable one,
oven though It lie the position Into
which he should have been forced. He
Is not merely a defeated candidate. He
was Just u» much on trial before his
constituents as when before the Jury
In Washington. That Jury declared
him guilty of certain acls, and his con
stituents now declare that tho most
eloquent, most useful, most popular
mau in tho slate too deeply disgraced
by those acts to louger represent them
in congress. Over him they prefer a
man fur less brill,aut, with tar less ua*
paclty for lawfulness to them, for tho
single reason that lie is morally a bet
ter man.
We doubt whether any man In our
history has been driven out of public
life carrying so great a burden of
shame.

And such was Col. Stone's remedy pro-

speaker of the house of tho federal con
gress that when his attention was drawn
to the fact that he Infringed on the col

It. When the Telegraph first published
Col. Stone's remedy the paper fell into the

girl In church und rebuked her 1n the
most unwarranted n-nd ungenerous
manner, stpgUag her out from among
all the other young fadtes who had
danced, m,d pointing hits finger at her
he remarked In n savage *jone: "I

If none, why nesd we oft be told

convention, now in session here, unan
imously nns«ed tho following resolu
tions last night; V
Whereas, the negroes of tlie South
are charged by tlicir wbltc neighbors
as being possessed with such strong
and unbralled lusts ns constantly ex
pose the white women of tlie South to
the attacks and abuses of the rapists;
..ml,
"Whereas, the negroes* supposed guilt
has caused the white people of certain
sections of tho country to pour upon
us such forms of mob violence ns Is
seldom seen lu any civilized country;
tad.
Whereas, wo realize that no crime
which may be committed against the
virtuous female can Impose upon her
greater aud severer personal lass than
tlie crime of rape, aud that no emue
hleh may be committed against a
ate can do more to blot out the sen
timent of lovo aud justlco from tho
hearts of its people aud more to under
mine the stability and prosperity of
the government than tlie reigu of mobs;
therefore be It
‘Resolved by the colored Baptists of
tho United Slates ot America, in con*
ution assembled iu the city of Mont
gomery, Ala., representing a constitu-
ncy of 2,500,000 persons, Thnt we
hate, with all the strength of our God
fearing hearts, the diabolical crime of
rape, whether in white or black, nnd
vow to use all the legal aud moral sense
our command, to put down aud crush
out the brutish disposition widen would
thus fearfully aud wantonly trample
upon female virtue.
Second—That tne taking of human
life for rape or other crime. Without ad
equate proof of guilt established by duo
process of law, it Itself a crime aud a
f*pedes of barbarism aud lawlessness,
hleh we pray the people of tho coun
try no longer to tolerate.
Third—That our thanks are due, and
» same are hereby extended to M.ss
a li. Wells and to all other Justice
and liberty loving poop^o North and
mth, at home and abroad, for the ef
forts which they have made aud are
W making to create a sentiment
hicli has for its object the re*t<>rattoa
‘to favor aud to power th;*t which is
noblest iu human uature and that
which brings peace, prosperity and sta
bility to the government.
"Fourth—That we gratefully recog-
nlxe the fact that there Is a growing
element among our white neighbors
who wJA our peace and prosperity in
the South and who arc more and more
inclined to extend to us tho helping
baud and to voice the spirit of Justice
ami fairuot-s through the pulpit and
the press.**
Another resolution especially thank
ing the governor of Tennessee, several
Southern newspapers and ceriaiu man
ufacturers for briuging lyhchers in the
reerni wrifcu Teuncwee touching to Jus
tice was also passed.
RHYME AND REASON.
DUM VIVIMUS, VIVAMU3.,
Ho! come, my gallant tpasters, come.
Forget life’s cares—be merry!
For soon, uh! soon, we ll, drift across
The mystic stygian ferry.
There’s naught of knorvleJ-ge In the grave,
N r * l-.n , n .r devi. es;
So, come, my gentle oemrad^u. fill
Life’s brimming cup with spl:es.
For life Is all too short, too short
TY» hold converse with sadnMA:
•'■in-, fill your glasaes, m-: j > men,
And drink the wine of gladqess!
"We will sweep every office in the
state,” say the Populists
If you can't get the offices, >hy, whirl
In and put them in good shape for those
who do get them.
It's plain that Tom and his man Jim Hints
A re p .lit i i i ns d-ep;
"Two heaJs are better than one,” they say,
"Though both are heads of sheep.’’
Why does Watson accompany Hines ev
erywhere he goes to speak? Is the Pop
ulist candidate for governor so • recent a
convert to third party doctrines that his
managers fear to trust him out of sight?
The Populists are chasing bubble*. Sup-
rose th-y slnuM e>ct ev«.*ry officer
Georgia, from United States senate. to
coroner; !n what respect vonl they
the better off?
Admitting ‘.hat congress failed to redeem
Us sliver pledge—didn’t every member of
the Georgia delegation, with one excep
tion. vote according to his party's plat
form nnd his constituents*'wishes? What
more could they do?
Admitting that the tariff bill passed by
congress is not cxantly what the people
of the South wanted—didn’t every mem
ber of Georgia’s* delegation vote for the
first bill—and stand out for It ’till the
last? What more could t.h*y do?
If the eleven members of the house from
this state had been Populists, could they,
unaided, have passed a sliver bill, or made
the tariff to suit themselves?
If they could have done no more than
the Democrats did; If our members did
their duty—why change them? * If the
Democratic administration In Georgia has
been satisfactory; If our people have pros-
pered under It—why change it?
In every state where the Populists have
secured any foothold, their cry has been,
reform! reform!” They controlled South
Carolina several years, but I have not, as
yet, seen wings sprouting on Its citizens.
They have split into two factions over
there, and each Is making desperate at
tempts to "reform" the other. Ye Gods!
Dook at Colorado, with its Populist
governor, Waite. As a "reformer,’' Waite
Is a howling success. He Is the first gov

Is an ungovernable mob! Rabl for "re

VE3SELS IN A.STORM. !
Staterooms and Dories Smashed and One
Vessel Abandoned. ,
New York, Sept. 16.—The Anchor Line
steamer Italia, from Mediterranean ports,
experienced a hurricane on September 8.
The wind began to blow hard on the even
ing of Septembsr 7 and gradually
creased tn force until 3 o’clock the next
afternoon, when It was found'necessary
to heave the ship to, that she might rttle
easier. A couple of stay sails were set
to steady the rolling steamer. .The gale
developed Into a hurricane and at 6 p. m.
the steering chain parted and the st^»*ner
fell Into the trough of the sei. Before
the hand-gear could be shipped, a. .tremen
dous sea boarded the vessel on. the. p->rt
side and swept everything movable.from
the decksv Life boat Nos. 1 and 3 were
stove into klndlnlg wood and No. 6 wju
carried away. The doors of the smokirg
room and hospital were smashed and the
copper pipes along the deck which supply
steam to the donkey engines and wind
lasses were twisted into fantastic shapes.
The engine room sky light was broken
and much water passed into the engine
room. A quantity of water also found
Its way into the after-aloon, but beyond
wetting carpets and eoahJMns the dam
age done was trifling. As soon as the
hand-steering wheel was fixed up the ship
was again headed to the swell and rode
out the gnle In safety.
The WKson Line steamer Hindoo, Capt.
Jame Douglass, also encountered- the
tall end of the same hurrican, but escaped
1th the loss of part of her cattle fit-
tings.
The La Champagne also had a voyage
full of Incidents. On the 11th a three-
ir-nMed vessel flying a signal of distress
sighted to the southward. At her
main mast was the inverted signal "N.
which means "I am sinking.” The
Frenchman at onco altered his cojrao
nn i elided around th*» vessel. At her
life was to be seen on board. A lifeboat
In charge of M. Rotte, the second lieu
tenant, was lowered end sent to the
vessel. When they returned they reported
the vessel was the Hakon Jarl from Chrle-
tiansand. with a deckload of lumber. Her
bold was filled with water and she was
kept afloat by her deck load alone. There
was no one on board. Tlie sails had be ?n
furled and wheels lashed. Tlje captain
had taken all his charts and Instruments
and valuable, and the crew hod left none
of their clothlng.l Lieut. Rotte wan g.ure,
from the general appearance of things,
tfhat the boat had not been deserted has
tily. The vessel was sighted In latitude
50 degrees, 3 minutes north and longitude
32 degrees, 49 minutes west Paris meridian
On the 14th the rteamer Nertto tvai
sighted around on the southeast point of
Sable Island. The Nerlto belongs to the
BnfOMi Steam Navigation Company
was bound from Sunderland to Halifax.
She floated the signal. “Am ta distrera
and need help.” La Champagne stopped
her engines and asked If the Nerlto’s
people wanted to abandon her. They re
plied that they did not and sent a boat
to the La Champagne, asking to have
dispatch sent to Halifax from New York
on the mean.ship’h arrival, asking for a?-
elfltance. Those in the boat reported that
there were no passengers on the Nerlto.
She had a crew of twenty-seven, Includ
ing her officers. She had run aground on
the morning of the Ulh In a heavy fog.
Capt. Liurent says the Nerlto .was In t
very dangerous position. Her stern wai
so high out of the water that her'sere/,
was plainly visible. If a high south wlnj
would opring up rhe would certainly jp
to pieces, he thought!
The remainder oi the voyage was with
out accident. Amon£ the passengers u
the La Champagne were James Fargo
Wefts, Fargo & Co., Mr. J. Hargis tj
Drexel. Harges & Co. and Alexander S&j,
vlni, the actor. Mr. Salvlnl said he -ba{
