See “rhe opinion of the supreme court of the United States in the case of the Northern Securities Company vs. the ‘Wnited States involving the mergér of tho Northern Pacific and the Great Worthern railroad Company, handed ‘own at Washington Monday Is In fa. yor of the government. The opinion was read by Justice Harlan, Tho opinion of tho United States cfreult court for the district of Mino. sota, was “affirmed. The effect is to sustain the contention that the Sher- man anti-trust law applies to railroad combinations of tho character in ques- on, Justice Harlan said that in tho merger of the two roads the stockhold- ers disappeared and reappeared in the Secuirities companies, the two thus be- coming practically consolidated in a holding company, thé principal object ‘Deing to prevent competition. “No geheme or device could certain- 29 wore effectively come withit the Proscription of the anti-trust law, and it is within the meaning of the act MA Trust.” Case cf Great interest. The case has attracted more atten- tion than any other suit before the court since the insular cases were de- cided, and has beon regarded by bench and bar as equal in :mportance with thoso cases and with the income tax cases. It was argued in December last for two days, and attracted gen- eral attention at that time, as it did previously when the decision was ren- dered by the circuit court for the dis- “trict of Minnesota. Clalm of the Government, ‘It was claimed on behalf of the gov- ‘ernment that this consolidation was dn effect a pool, created to promote the interests, not of one system at the expense of another, but of both at the ‘expense of the public: The railroads claimed the transfer of the stock of the two companics to the securities company was in the nature of a sale and perfectly legitimate. Tho contea- tions of the securities company wer? reviewed, and Justice Harlan said they had-recelved full attention, He quoted the various opinfons in- volving the trust question, saying that ‘trom them It {s to be gethered that all contracts In restraint of trade, reason- able or unreasonable, are prohibited by the Sherman law, and that con- grets has the power to establish sueb regulations as are laid down in that law. Congress had power to enact the statute. 2 ‘Véry soon after Justicq Harlan had concluded his presentation of the case, it became evident that the court had Givided on the questions at issue, and as other opinions were announced it developed that there not only had een a very close shave for the gov- ernment, but that one of the members of the court who cast his vote with the majority entertained opinions of his, own, which fact rendered the d!- vision all the most marked and Inter: esting, . Four Justices Dissent. ‘This was Justice Brewer, who, white he concurred in the result, announced In ay independent opinion of his own that” he held the view that previous antitrust decisions had been more’ sweeping han was justified. Four of the nine justices dissented outright. ‘These were Chief Justice Fuller and Justices White, Peckham and Holmes. The opinions of Justices Harlan and White wero long, whilo those of Jus- tices Brewer and Holmes were com- paratively brief. + THE GALLOWS FOR TAREE.

A Washington special says: Dy 4 strlet party yote, after a day full of ct- citing debate, the républicans of the house of representatives Friday defeat- ed the democratle proposition for a congressional investigation into the bostofice department. ‘Tho resolutions calling for such an Investigation were ruted out by. Speak- er Cannon, and the appeal from the ruling was tabled by tho republican majority, by a strict party vote. Sub- sequently the house adopted the reso- lution of Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, providing for thy creation of a special committee to investigate the charges against members contained in the Bris- tow report, but this does not opea the [way to a complete investigaticn intd the rottenness of the postofice denart- ‘ment. The wrath which swept over the house of representatives Wednesday as | the result of the report involving cer- tala members of congress, and which was temporarily stemmed by adjourn- ment Thursday on account of the death of Represeitative Croft, broke | out afresh at Friday's session. Mr. Gillett, of Massachusetts, pre- sented a minority report when Mr. Hay, of Virginia, promptly objected to its consideration. ‘The speaker, in ruling on the point, sald the Hay resolution was a matter ‘of highest privilege, and he recognized Mr. Overstreet, of Indiana, who de sired unanimous consent for an order jgiving the members ten days leave to extend thelr remarks. Mr. Cooper, of Wisconsin, enterzd an emphatle “No.” Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, enter- talned the view that every member, had the right to speak indefinitely as a matter of privilese. ‘Mr. Overstreot then submitted two propositions, first that the discussion 'be extended until Monday at 4 o'clock, land, second, uff 4 o'clock Saturday, to both of which Mr. Hay objected. Ha then renewed his motion for ledve to print, which brought Mr. Williams,to his fost with the declaration that whatever is sald on this subject should be sald fn the open house, and he therefore objected: He was greeted with‘ applause. 7 Br. Cowherd, of Missourl, was ree- ognized and defended the action of the committee representing the report. ‘There was no occaston, he sald, to ro- fer the matter to"the committee to sce whether the charges agalast mem-| bers had been made. The Feport of General Bristow had gone out with the approval of the president. | “I say now,”"he declared, “that Beavers has usually complied with re- quests of members of congress, re- gardless of the merits of the case, the ‘answer {s that tho charge is true.” “If members had made unusual re quests upon the department,’ he”sa‘d, “the propriety of their conduct was n question between themselves and their constituents. It fs not a violation of law,” he insisted, with emphasis. “The committee could not undertake to edit the department's report nog could they discriminate between the cases cited. If they had done so tho committee would have been lashed from the floor ‘of the house.” BAPTIZED IN HIS COFFIN. Beforo Execution Murderer | Goes Through Unique Ceremonial, A dispatch’ from Richmond, Va., says: John Clements, colored, was hanged at King William court. house Friday ‘for murder. He was babtized by immersion in the box in which his ‘body was. afterwards used as a coffin and which was shipped to a medical college in Richmond. MANGLED IN EXPLOSION.

Governor ‘Turns Down Bilt Providing for Negro Normal \ Behool In Sensational Mess2gs. A profound sensation was spring in the Mississipp! legislaturo Monday af- ternoon whei Governof Vardeman ‘Bent ih a message vetoing the appro- Pristion bill for the negro normal school at Holly Springs, on the ground that, this kind of education does the negro no gdod, The governor discusses the question of negro education at much Jength and tn part saya: “If I thought the charactef of educa- Uon for the negroes of MissIsétppl, for which this schodl Is intended; woud produce beneficial results, I should tiost earnestly Insist that the sum of money proposed to bo appropriated for that purpose be increased a hundred fold, but It does not. Qn the contrary, many years of experience has demon sfrated that tho effect is pernicious, rather than helpful, to the- unthinking, Sentiments yagarlst, whose profound misinformation of the matter is mar- velous, or the reason-paralyzed, sordtd materialist, who views the question from afar off, the proposition to edu cate (without regard to the character of education) is accepted as a thing from which good must unfailingly flow. | “The schools and methods of in ‘sttuction sulted to the white rate do not fit the negro. Let that fact be kept perpetually before us. It will be Temempered that the real nekro in Ameriéa is but one step (In the Ife of a race) removed from the bondage of barbarism and fetish worship. In the land to which he springs indigen- "ous, his forefathers now live, and have lived, from the Yay when man’s first porta was made on this earth, ir a condition of mental and moral dark nesgs, and In America, whero he has attained a dezree of civilization, he 13 yet defictent absolutely’in titose moral qualities which are necessary to form the substratum upon ‘which to buili enduring character. “Men who have devoted intelligeat and honest thought to tlie subject and fearlessly pursued investigation, wlth the vig of discovering the truth, have found some curious tnings re- garding negro mentality, You may take a young negro freshg from the Sungles of Africa, and the readinfss with which he learns to read and write is remarkable; but it Is all done Uke the parrot, in imitation of sonie body else. Literary * education—tho Knowledge of baoks—does not seem to produce any good substantial, re- sults with the negro, but serves rath- er to sharpen bis cunning; breeds hope that cannot be fulfiiied; tnspires aspirations that. cannot be gratificd; | greates an inclination to avold hon 2st labor; promotes indolerce and, in turn, leads to crime. ‘That Is the true story of the average negro, the cor- reetness of whieh wil hardly “be ques tloned by an observant student of the subject. : /% wish It understood that my objec- tion to this bill does not grow out ol a spirit of race hatred. I have no such feeling for the negro. On the contrary, I wish the race well. 1 should like to see it developed along moral and industrial lines until it shall become a positive factor for good, rather than a menace to our clv- iization—a blessing, thax a curse. The only hopo for tho consummitior of that wish ts for tha state to take matters in hand, {snore the abuse and criticism of thé ignorant time-servers ot both te north and south, and give the negro that which the negrd necds —educate his heart and hands; give him, if possible, a moral basis to build upon, and you will thereby help the hegro anc the state also.” PROFESSIONAL SHOPLIFTERS ‘Two Women Come’ to Grisf While -PlyIng Crooked Work in Aflanta.

Everything will be sidetracked in or. der to get him to the front on sched- ule time. ‘The general may proceed ‘on a fying visit to Port Arthur, but he 4s more likely to enter at once upon his dutied as commander in chief of the Manchurlan afmy. Ho bears an au: tograph letter from the emperor to Viceroy Alexleff, to whom he will ré- port. It is understcod that the vice- roy them will turn over the entire di- rection of the lend operations to Gen- eral Kuropatkin, who will transmit his reports to the emperor througn the viceroy, but practically this 1s the only point on which Viceroy Alex- fem will maintain superiority, New General's Pizns. General Kuropatiin had his plan of campaign practically perfected before he left for the Far East. He retutred to St. Petersburg quietly from his country seat and bis presence was not known for some days. He devoted the interim to the elaboratons of his plans, In conjunction with his staff, and with the ald of all the information in the possession of the ministry of wir, as well as of the special reports from the theatre of war. A superstitious Idea prevails in St Petersburg that Gen. Kuropatkin will stgnallze his birthday, which occurs on Marelt 30, and which fs also bis pa tron saint's day, with some importaut act. On aécount of the difficulty of hous- ing the vast number of troops poured into Mukden, 1,000 having Geen sent forward within tho last fow days to- ward the Yalu river as reinrorcements for the 7,000 troops already at Kasan and Anju, and the stream of soldiers, from European Russla {8 now belng held at Harbin.

A London speclal says: Premier Balfour's government was defeated in the house of commons Tuesday by the combined liberal and nationalist vote. This reverse was due to the probibl- tion by Mr, Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland, on the teaching of Gaelic tn tho junlor grades of the Irish na- tfonal schools. Mr. Balfour, though defeated by a majority of 11 on this question, does not»regard the vote as one of want of confidence, and he will not resign on this account. His determination not to resign was strengthened by-the fact that shortly after the foregoing defeat he was able to secure a majority of 25. The failure of tho government to carry the house with It on a question of purely administrative policy’ in its Irish department is generally admjtted to greatly weaken its already waning prestige with the country, although it fs not thought probable that any Im- mediate development will ensue. In the house of commons Itself, to uso the words of prominent members of the oppos*ion, “all the ‘artillery in the goyernment arsenals would not make them surrender office.” ~ ‘The early morning’ papers only gave the figures of the voting on division and readers wére left to guess whether ‘or hot the government had resigned.

The Republican State Convention meets next Wednesday in Atlanta for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Republican Convention, and attend to such other business as may come before it. The State Committee will meet on Tuesday. Everything points to a harmonious meeting. It is strange how the question of lynching and morals affect different races. A Negro accused—not found guilty' mind yon—of the "usual crime" against a white woman, if caught never lives to repeat it. On the contrary the member of the opposite race usually goes "scot free" and is emboldened either to attempt or commit the crime as often as he is disposed. A Just Judge. JUDGE EMORY SPEEK is one of the ablest representative of the Federal bench. He is broad minded and fearless in his views, and humane in his judgment. On the question of peonage, he said the following: In view of the political complexion of this question, to which somewhat veiled reference has been made, the court deems it appropriate to refer to the degrading and non-American effect of involuntary servitude upon every concern of self respecting people. Already protests are heard from organized labor and manufacturers against the baleful competition of convict-made goods; how much worse will be that competition with the labor of the peon. The first is manufactured under the control of the law, the other the will of the taskmaster, merciless, perhaps, as the Egyptian who drove the energies of the ancient people of God. "How can the farmer or manufacturer of turpentine and lumber, who labors for himself with the assistance of his sons or with hired help, hope for fair playing in the market when a huge sawmill in the vicinity or an unscrupulous planter with a stockade full of unpaid hands can underbid his prices? Why should one man, through lawless methods, be permitted to grow rich beyond the dreams of avarices while his neighbor, who piously respects the law and the rights of his fellowman, however humble, shall toil on, perhaps in poverty and want? The demoralization of the spectacle to the plastic mind of youth, the incalculable harm flowing from the triumphant defiance of the law, the reproach of the fair fame of our beloved state, all are involved in this supreme question. And what hope can the respectable negro have? What incentives to better effort or life if he, his wife, his daughters and sons may in a moment be snatched from his humble home and sold into peonage? "Let us for a moment put ourselves in his place and imagine the hopeless despair if our loved ones or ourselves were subjected to such a condition of involuntary servitude! "Nor if conditions like these described in the indictment shall continue will the negro remain the sole victim of peonage? Crime is ever progressive. Very many poor and ignorant white people, who are scarcely less helpless than negroes, may be, and cases already are reported where white men have been made victims of powerful and unscrupulous neighbors." District Convention. The convention of the Republicans of the Eleventh district was held at Waycross on Wednesday. The contest was on for the chairmanship and delegates to the National convention. It was a lively one, but the old guards maintained their popularity Mr E R Belcher was easily re-selected as chairman, and Judge W H Matthews and Mr S Mincey as delegates. The fight against them was bitter, but the people and some of the best workers in the district were with them, hence the victory, which is quite a blow to lily whiteism in the state. The victorious candidates are all well known in the state. A Worthy Institution. company is No. 20 State street, west first floor. The company can give employment to more young ladies. Local. Rev.

Good Friday services at St Stephen's church, Habersham between Harris and Macon streets: 7:30 a.m, 12 to 3 p.m, 8 p.m. For years the Good Friday services at this church have been quite a feature. It is a day that is held very sacred and solemnly observed by some Christians, why not by all? No matter to what church we belong, we can all gather around the cross of the crucified on Good Friday. Many business houses close on that day and vessels put their flags at half mast. The services from 12 to 3 is known as "The Three Hours Service" and marks the time that our Lord hung upon the cross. During this time addresses are delivered on the seven last words the Saviour uttered from the cross; all the hymns being in keeping with the occasion. No one is obliged to remain throughout the entire service if he can't. There are few who can't come for five or ten minutes at least. The service begins promptly at twelve and ends promptly at three. I extend a cordial invitation to Christians of every creed. All the seats are free. The story of the cross is sung at night. Faithfully Yours, Richard Bright, rector St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.

Everybody is aware of the cause for which the society was formed, it died, and was reinstated under the auspices of Thomas Golden and Thomas Walker, as president. This was an area of battles and of success. The public can only say that we discharged our duties according to our stated motives. This was in the second epoch, and we are now operating in a third epoch with the two above named, gentlemen absent, the one reigning and the other excluded. We are living and acting upon the same old motives, blooming in the same old sunshine. We have five lots in the Laurel Grove cemetery in which we bury our dead; this is a blessing to those who haven't a lot of their own. We have a Lady's Auxiliary and a Juvenile Auxiliary all heredad under our brooding. The whole concern is in full bloom and operating upon the best principles. The books are open for membership to a considerable reduced rate and will be until after April 10, 1904, after which time they will return to the maximum fee. There will be two meetings of the society before this raise, one the 4th Wednesday instituted, and the aid 10th of next month. Any one wishing further information will call on S. M.

B. church held their regular monthly meeting on Sunday last at their hall Russell St. This branch has been organized since July 25, 1892, and has a financial roll of 155 members. Ever since its organization Deacon Mack Merchison has been president, and has proven by his precepts and examples that his life is worthy of emulation. He has won the confidence and respect of the members and they in turn surprised him on Sunday last by presenting him with a watch fob and an umbrella mounted with sterling silver with his initials. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. R. Ethel Wright. Deacon Merchison responded in pleasing words of thanks. Mrs. F. A. Merchison also spoke, and in her delivery made the branch feel that the gifts were much appreciated. St. James Dots. The services at St. James A. M. E. church last Sunday were well attended especially the night services Rev. J. A. Hadley preached at 11 a. m. Sunday School at 3 p.m. were well attended. At 8 p.m. Rev. Greene preached an interesting sermon. After a brief illness of about twenty-four hours, Mrs Julia R. Singleton passed away on Thursday of last week. Sister Singleton was a devout christian, a good church and Sunday School worker. She connected herself with this church soon after moving here. She was Miss Julia R Warnock until one year and one month ago she was united in holy wedlock in Beth-Eden Baptist church to Mr Chas. Singleton, who is an officer of that named church. They lived peacefully and happily together until death came in and disturbed the happy home. Hers was a peaceful death. She was willing to die. Her mother who was buried just three weeks to the day she died was seen lingering around the bed by her. She gave out the hymn "Father I stretch my hands to thee," and then called her mother and tried to make her sister see her mother who had come to take her back with her. Sister Singleton was well loved by all that came in contact with her. She was noted for her lovable character. While before the altar she layed in her beautiful white casket with a handsome canopy over it, Rev Hadley paid a beautiful and tender tribute to her memory. He spoke of her Christian fortitude, her love for the church and the many virtues she possessed as a Christian wife. His tender words brought tears to the eyes of many of those who heard him. Mrs. Singleton's popularity was attested and the many strong friendships were shown by the large number who attended her funeral, and the grave was covered with floral designs. The revival is meeting with success, many anxious souls are seeking the better life. Mr. Samuel Braswell quietly passed away after a brief illness. He was buried by the Odd-fellows and Knights. Rev J. A. Hadley officiated. He leaves a mother, one daughter and a wife to mourn his death. Mr. James Randolph was buried on Tuesday by the Odd fellows. Rev J. A. Hadley officiated.
