The man and the occasion are well fitted.

Loniisiana ter-\ om France the United States had hardly more | 000,000 inhabitants, and it is doubtful ‘if ther" many as 50,000 white people in the whole of | country annexed. So far as human foresjght | i see many centuries would be required for. the American people to spread over ‘the acquired terri- | tory, subdue its wild tribes, explore itg wildernesses, | construct highways acrhss the wide expanse and bfing: its mines and its fields into the service of civiliza- tion. Only a single century has gone by, and the | territory is now so thoroughly colonized and sattled | that where once the savage had his home there are | many cities richer in the comforts and luxuries of | ation than some of the capitals of the Old ut of and for years settle: civili World. A recent writer upon the exposition says: “The city in which the celebration will take place, a remote fur trading post when the purchase was made, has to- day three times as many citizens as all the American cities together had in 1803. It is spending on its ex- position about three times what the nation paid for I8 the whole of this territory. A single year’s product of this city’s factories would pay the price Napoleon ex- | acted for Louisiana fifteen times over. The wool product alone of the States made out of Louisiana would pay that price. Last year’s corn crop of Iowa alone would have paid that price six times. The wheat yield of the territory, more than half that of the whole country, for any single average year would buy the territory a hundred times.” The achievement of so great a peaceful conquest stands as a vesult of all the great forces which in modern times have worked for the benefit of mankind. The grand result has not been attained by the pioneer and the statesman alone. Every néw revelation of science, every improvement in machinery, every new accomplishment in art and industry, has helped in the work. The steamboat, the railroad, the reaping ma- chine, the trip-hammer, the scientific methods of mining, the higher processes of agriculture, the spin- ning jenny and the telegraph have all been potent factors in the work. It is therefore altogether right and fitting that the century of conquest should be celebrated by the universal exposition of the products of art, science and industry. Moreover, it is grati- fying that the exposition is planned on 2 scale of un- precedented magnitude, for in no other part of the world have science and industry achieved such stu- pendous results. The best hope of the future is that the Great West may grow along the’same lines as in the past, and the people of the whole world may respond to the sol- emn and impressive prayer of Cardinal Gibbons: “May this vast territory which was peacefully ac- quired a hundred years ago be for all time to come the tranquil and happy abode of millions of enlight- ened, God-fearing and industrious people engaged in the various pursuits and avocations of life. As this new domain was added to our possessions without sanguinary strife, so may its soil never be stained by bloodshed in any foreign or domestic warfare.” R A gentleman bearing the interesting name of Charles H. Robb has been chosen to succeed Tyner, whose sensational removal as attorney general from the Postoffice Depdrtment has excited Washmgton.

THE FARMERS' MARKET. HE Harbor Commission, having decided to I enforce the Woodward law for a free market, as they find it, and to open the docks for free trade, it is left for the producers to take advantage of an opportunity which they have been- seeking for many years. There is no doubt that ‘this opportunify will gwe a | Letter average market the year round ' for country ‘pmducc and truck than any .other method can (ur- Tty will fairly imsure _and all that comes to market, and it “will mxm.laxc onsumptmn increasing rap- nish.

On their side the consumers share in the respon- sibility for making it a uccess. ' In other cities where | such a-market exists housekeepers, the wives of mer- hants-and of laborers, meet at the free market and make purchases for their households. It is a sort of shopping opportunity, a chance to get in their freshest the whole variety of country produce that is consumed in More than that, in such markets flowers and dec(_;rallve foliage of all sorts are sold. .In all of our rural neighborhoods the grange is or"amred Qne of its principles is the bringing of producer and consumer. as directly together as pos- sible. The grange has the opportunity now to apply that prmu[elc and make it a working practice. Here are several hundred thousand consumers ready to meet the producers face' to face in a cash business. | It will not be their fault if the plan fail, Easily 75 per_cent of’ the valuable products of the soil‘in this State are in “the form of perishable prop- erty. It'stiould reach the ‘consumer as quickly as pos- sible, and af a price that: will take it off the market for the day, enab]mg renewal of the supply in its best, state ior consumption. This is in the interest of ‘the public heallh and well-being. Organization of the producers will impréve transportation facilities, as to time-and rates, and will bring that better temper in the rural districts which comes with ‘improvement iof condition. The State’ Board of Trade, which is fairly representative of both producer and consumer, has taken the matter in hand, and by its first action has procured the deciston of the Harbor Commission to go forward. Now it-is up to the .producers to move up and take possession of the field that has been |:provided for them. Let them rigidly observe com- mercial honor in their dealings and grasp the op- portunity for commercial education, and ali-the ex- pectations dnvesfed in tie farmers’ bfree market will be realwed S ———— A smg!e shipment_from “Wilmington, N. C., one day last week consisted -of thirty-four refrigerator cars filled with® strawbesries, and ‘as. each car con- tained 8000 quarts it is evident there were strawber- ries_enough to supply a good-sized family when the cargo reached market. A from the centers of industry and the highways of trade that little or no attestion is paid to anything going on there unless a fight occurs and more fighting is expected. The war against the Mad Mullah in Somaliland has held.public interest for some time, but hardly any heed whatever was given to the recent announcement in Pafliament of the oc- cupation of Sokoto by a British force, and yet it ap- pears that the capture and occupation of the place virtually transfers to British control a territory com- prising 500,000 square’ miles occupied by a population of 20,000,000. Time was, not long ago, when so vast an acces- sion to the empire would have been hailed with pride and exultation by the British public, but that time has gone by. Experience has taught the taxpayer that African expansion costs more than it is worth, and British statesmen are not over eager to carry it any further than they can avoid. Commenting upon the occupation of Sokoto and the seeming destiny that is luring or driving the empire onward in West Africa, the London Spectator says: “The ‘imperial Government discourages expansion as much as the East India Company ever did. It is sick of its ever- accumulating responsibilities, and does not supply its agents in West Africa either with sufficient troops or adequate resources for administrative expendi- ture. Nevertheless the work goes forward. State after state passes, as if through some invisible com- pulsion, under British authority, and as it passes produces a situation demanding ‘in the eyes of all local experts a fresh ‘advance, till we are already re- THE FALL OF SOKOTO.

Thus when once the Mohammedans were deleated in battle they found no support to continue the fight and the' empire passed readily to the victors. it is for them a new responsibility, but will not be without its advantages, for it will give an increase of parts of Affica-which are profitable and desirable. | ———— The hatred which England -and Russia profess to féel toward each other seems to be !particularly t'in)dy;' it ‘complicates interest in the situation in the | Far .East_and arouses some strange - reflections on the statecraft .of the men who made the British al- | fiance with Japan. : | VENEZUELA'S FOREIGN CODE. C 1 AS’I‘RO has procured the passage of a new { code relating to foreigners. As might have i been expicted, -he uses the opportunity to kg;ea_tly increase his own power. The new code is in { line with'the set policy of most of the Latin-American | states, and is drastic to the last degree in- striking | down ally protection for foreigners.. It applies to | aliens already domiciled as well as to those who may |.come in the future. rty entirély in the hands of the Government, and as- sumes to deny. the right of diplomatic intervention by any other eountry. in‘behalf of its nationals.. It is not the code of a republic, but of a despotism. It stands- in -direct contrast to the laws and the policy of the Unrited States.” We compehed trcancs of ex | patriation with Eumpc-, and aliens’ doiiciled with' us | have never had 'occasion to complain. of l.gc.k”of needed - protection for- their right: of person: and | property. | acts within State jurisdiction. the Federal . Govern: 1 ment has not waited for arbitration, but has pgnd in- demnity, as in the case of the Chinese and: talians. But Castro, “the monkey of the Andes,” is not'a republican President. He is a despot of ‘striétly Oriental type. This code, of his proctirement, will discourage all Americans who have hoped that Latjn America would go forward in civilization and the ways {fof free government. Instead of that, this code is a defiant expression of the determination of those countries to go backward, to retire into the shadows of the middle ages, and to create the conditions of government which preceded the feudal systern. | Spain and Portugal, and the nations composing it came under constitutional government, it was transformation occurred, that those countries would sphere with- republics worthy of the name. have enjoyed nearly a century of independence and shed, murder, robbery and disorder. They have, with of Bolivar, There is every reason to believe that he died heartbroken and discouraged by .the vision of the future which he saw in the turbulence and dis- honor that made d:scord in his last days. One thing may be counted on as sure. The ‘na- tions of the world will not permit the maltreatment of their nationals by Castro or any other tyrant under pretense of authority of such codes as this new statute in Venezuela. The American eagle is ready to scream again. Our national conscience is still unassaulted, our dignity unruffled, and we may continue the even tenor of our | way as a world power without trembling. Russia was | considerate of our rights when she sought her greedy agreement with China, ers and representatives of British workingmen WHERE OPINIONS DIFFER. R EPRESENTATIVES of British manufactur- have come to this country to study our indus- trial conditions and our methods of operating wifh the domestic industries. They have returned home and made their reports, and, judging from the sum- | mary given in the dispatches, it appears the investi- gations have had no other effect than that of strength- ening each in thé opinion he had before he came. The British capitalists say the success of Ameri- | American workingman over the British worker. It is zlleged that the American does more work for the money he receives, works more steadily, is mote sober and is less subject to labor unions; and the capitalis- tic investigators assert that if. the British .workers were as good as the American Great Britain need have no’ fear of losing her place in the industrial ‘world. On the other hand the representatives of the work- ingmen, after elaborate investigations, return home to inform their fellow craftsmen that the British worker our industries is due mainly to the supenonty of the ‘American manager over the British manager. One of the delegates, a representative of the British Plas- terers’ Union, declares that American workmen do not do ,good work: because of their eagerness to do too ‘much of it in a given time. He asserts that he saw bad plasterifg even in the White House when the delegation visited President Roosevelt. Of course these differences of opinion signify noth- ing more than that the visitors came to this country not to find out the truth, but to get arguments for the controversy in which they are engaged at home. The British manufacturer wishes his workmen to per- form more work in a ‘given time and for a given -sum, and accordingly it was easy for him to see in America a proof ‘of the justice of his desire. The British worker, on the other hand, wishes the manu- facturer to put in better machinery, pay better wages and make more frequent promotions, and he finds in this country the thing he wishes. It was known of'old and said, “For those who cross the sea the skies ¢hange, but the mind does not.” Our British investigators have returned home just as wise as they were before, and no wiser. Mean- time the cause of American industrial success is doubt- less due to the fact that we are superior to the Brit- ish in men, managers and machinery, and it is use- less to speculate whether our superiority in one re- spect is any greater than in either of the others. In the Reichstag tecently a: statcsman unctuously made an elaborate effort to appeal to us vader the mask of flattery. He said that it is impossible to fat- ter the American people. 3 - A& 2 “prestige and help to strengthen the empire in those | It puts their persons and prop- | When eitlier have been violated by lawless |- 1t is a sudject of the greatest concern to the United | States.

White silk, with old | from her mother's wedding dress, w the gown of the bride; her sister white chiffon. The Rev. J. P. Turnek of the Mission the Good Samaritan acted as best m for the groom. F. W.

Over w - 1200 invitations had been sent out and the church was crowded to the doors with a | fashionable throng of the young couple's well wishers. 4 After the ceremony at the church the wedding party proceeded to the home the bride’s parents, Where 10U guests sat down to a wedding breakfast beneath wreaths of roses and smilax. During the feast the announcement of the engage- ment of Miss Bertie Bruce to F. W. Ste- phenson was made. Immediately after the festivities at the house the bride and groom left for Del Monte. The marriage was the culminatioh of a romance which found its beginnings in Miss Bruce’s devotion to missionary work in the Good Samaritan Mission, where Rev. Mr. Macon was stationed prior to his being made Dr. Clampett's assistant. She graduated from the State University ten years ago. i e The Forty-first District Political Equal- ity Club, at the residence of Dr. Minora Kibbe, held a very interesting session yes- terday. The question of the day was the advisability of continual petition of the State Legislature, the arguments being presented ably by Mrs. J. W. Orr, Mrs. H. Coffin, Mrs. Clare O. Southard and Dr. Kibbe. Several new members joined the club, after ewhich the president presented a let- ter from the Juvenile Court, the club vot- ing to assist the court. A vote was then taken in favor of affiliation with the Lo- cal Council of Women. Mrs. John ¥. Swift, lately given the high honor of being elected national pres- ident of the Counecil of Women, spoke of the recent convention of that and of the National Suffrage orgafization at New Orleans.
