CURTIS ON FoLGER's NOMINATION.

New YORK, Oct George William
Curtis. in letter to the secretary of the
New York Civil Service association, says:
Judge Folger's ability and character are
not in question, but his nomination is. That
nomination was procured by combined
power, fraud and patronage, and to sup
port it at the polls would be to acquiesce
in fraud and patronage as legitimate forces
in nominating convention. Every good
citizen is bound to resist to the utmost
such wrong, in order to free our institu-
tons, and the only effectual way in which
voters can emancipate themselves from the
corrupt and debasing rule of the machine
is to defeat its candidates. This, i be-
lieve will be done decisively by the republi-
can voters in the New York and Pennsyl-
vania election this autumn. They viii see
their party defeated rather than the fraud
and corruption of patronage triumphant.
The events in both states show that no
graver political peril now confronts the
country than complete subjugation of the
party by INSCRIPTIONS cabals, which bride
with public employment and pay their
way by filching from the public treasury.
This is an evil which viii end in violence
unless it is conclusively rebuked by the
people at the polls.

PRESS OPINION ON FoLGER's ACCEPTANCE

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Newspaper COM
ments upon the letter of Judge Folger
accepting the nomination of the repub-
lican convention for the office of Gov
ernor.
The Times: Unfortunately, not even his
(Folger's) great ability, his high character,
his good intentions, nor even the reason
able assurance that he would make an ex-
cellent governor, in spite Of the influences
that have been enlisted in behalf of his
candidacy, can suffice to meet one of the
chief objections of those who are dissatis-
fed. That is fixed beyond recall in the
record of the past. 1t is not in his power
to wipe it out. The republicans of this
state, who were not permitted by an un-
trammelled choice, by a free exercise of the
delegated power, honestly and fairly ex-
ecuted, to nominate their own candidate
for governor, feel that they have a princi-
pie to vindicate that is even more import
ant for the time being that the excellent
ideas of state and national policy which
are urged in the letter Of acceptance.
Evening Post: Juf Folger's letter of
acceptance is not a CHI. full or inspiring
document. 1t could not well be under
existing circumstances. man who feels
himself obliged to make an elaborate
apology to the people for being a candi-
date, and whe virtually asks them for a
suspension of judgment as to the con
scientiousness of his conduct in accepting
the nomination, can't be expected to be
quite free from certain depression of spirits
when speaking to the public. 1t is not the
man, but the circumstances and Influences
surrounding him that make his election
unacceptable to the large element in the
republican party. and confession of his
personal feelings, with regard to his candi
dacy. are therefore rather calculated to
strengthen than to weaken their objections
to him.
Commercial AdUertiser.: There is moth
ing that can be said here that would add
to the strength of Mr.. Folger's statement.
His dignity, frankness, sincerity and devo
ton to republican principles speak for
themselves. The duty of the republicans
is plain. It is to elect their ticket and elect
it for the reasons that have been so forci-
bly, stated in the letter of acceptance.
There can be no turning back or aside.
The field is before the republicans, and
they will be untrue to themselves and their
great party if they don't win ii.
Evening Telegram: Folger is probably
wrong in his estimate of the damage which
his party would have incurred by his right
full declination of the nomination. He is
evidently wrong in imagining his party can
be benefited by his asserting to the CON
summation of acknowledged wrong.

Indignant Too Late.

"A certain New York minister, many
years ago, used to suggest to his wife
that she was too much given to gossip
ing with her callers. Her only reply
was. that although her husband always
began by Directing to the gossip, yet he
invariably sat still and listened to it.
He was like the lawyer in the follow
ing story from the Boston Journal In
an Office in this city. the other day, some
persons were narrating some exceeding
1y uncomplimentary but spicy stories
about an acquaintance, in the hearing
of a man who occupied an adjoining
room which was connected by a door
with the apartment in question. This
door was open, and every word uttered
in one room could be heard in the other.
One after another had his witty story to
tell, rejecting on the character of the
man under discussion and the converse
ton, broken by frequent peals of laugh
ter flowed on for half an hour.
At last the topic was exhausted, and
the conversation was turned in another
channel.
Immediately the lawyer in the adioin-
ing room appeared onithe threshold, and
Indignantly ejaculating.-
II will not listen to such scandalous
remarks upon y friend of mine," slam
med the door with great violence.
The gathering in the main room was
much chagrined by this rebuke until
they happened to think that it was not
called out until they had quite doneiwith
the obnoxious subject.

Setting His Marx High.

Soon after the late Horace Maynard
entered Amherst College he put on the
door of his room q large letter V. Its
presence exposed him to questions and
ridicule, but, psying no attention to
either, he kept the letterin its plaza AT
the end Of four years graduation day
eame.s and Mr. Maynard was appointed
to deliver the yaledictory. After having
received the compliments of the faculty,
and students of the college for the hon
or he had received, Mr.. Maynard called
the attention of his fellow-graduates to.

and asked If they then understood what
Kas meant by the letter v. After short
reflection they answered, Eyes. Vale

suit of civil order and domestic harmony,
are obscured because they cannot be de-
MED, and the people at distance are
asked to believe that in the late confederate
states there still exists a satnrnaiia of
crime and blood. It would seem that the
time had come when the working classes
and business men of the country from mo-
tives of interest, if those of justice and
decency should not prove strong enough,
could be relied on to correct this wrong
on the material well being of the people
of both sections and this offence against
patriotism. 1t is not certain that the pres
emit assault on the material interests of
those who desire and are concerned in
peace viii not render this newly launched
bolt a boomerang instead of an effective
weapon in the contest.

An Exploded Fraud.
The Meckienburg Declaration Shows to Be an
Obvious Forgery.

Obvious Forgsry
another historic fraud, one which has
been imposed upon the people of the
United States for more than half CEN
fury, has just been exposed by writer
in the New York Sun. The statement
has been generally accepted, and has
gone into most of our histories, that on
May 90, 1875, some say Nav 81, 1875,
series of resolutions were adopted at a
public meeting at Charlotte, Mecklen-
berg county, n. c., the language of
which is SO nearly identical with that of
the Declaration of Independence as to
warrant the claim of priority of action
by the people of North Carolina, and
the reference that Thomas Jefferson, in
drafting the declaration of the Cont
mental Congress, copied for the most
part the language of the Mecklenburg-
ers.
The San knocks the warn higher than
Gilderoy's kite or Mother Symptoms
prophecy. 1t shows that the first known
of the mysterious document was in 1919,
when it was published in Massachusetts,
papers. Then John Adams first heard
OF it; and not having the experience Of
the present day in regard to Morey let
tiers and other forgeries, he was disposed
to think it a genuine document. He
wrote to Thomas Jefferson. asking how
it was possible that the paper could
have been concealed from him so long.
Jefferson in reply pointed out its spdri-
GUS character, called attention to the
fact that the names mentioned as pres
emit at the convention were dead, and
added that no allusion to it had any
where been made, prior to this publica-
tion in Massachusetts, whereas if any
such important action had been taken.
the whole State and country would have
rung with it. Jefferson having decided
it a hoax. gave himself no further con-
Germ about it.
The most positive testimony against
it is internal evidence furnished by it
self If the claim made for it by the
North Carofinians be valid, then Jeffer-
son quoted it in writing the Declaration
of l776, for a quarter of its words ARE
found consecutively in the genuine doc
unlent. The draft by Jefferson is of
historic record, and so are the additions,
changes of words and other amend
ments made when he Submitted his draft
to the consideration of the congress.
But this Mecklenburg declaration has
these changed and irterpolated words
in their regular order as they stand In
the original Declaration-a most con-
vincing proof that the Mecklenburg pa
per was made subsequent tothe Declara-
ton of 1915, instead of antedatiug the
latter more than year.

The republicans having stolen all the
democrats had to steal are now engaged in
stealing from each other. 1t seems they
are even devoid of honor among thieves.
The high toned secretary of the treasury is
not even above being the recipient of q
stolen nomination, and when asked to de-
cline position secured by forgery and
fraud, Folger answers that he deems it
"impfacticable." Folger is setting a
bad example by such ingglery, and we
hope to see him receive deserved rebuke
from the people of New York. Even a
gentleman with so elastic conscience as
Henry Ward Beecher hopes that his hand
will wither should he be induced to cast a
ballot IN Folger's favor.

Whist thu Thumb Does.

Have you noticed that when you want
to take hold of anything bit of
thread, we will say-that it is.always
the thumb who puts himself forward.
and that he is always on one side by
himself, while the rest of the fingers are
on the other? If the thumb is not help
ing, nothing stops in your hand, and
you don't know what to do with it.
Try, by way of experiment. TO carry
your spoon to your mouth without put
ting your thumb to it, and you will see
what long time it will take you to get
through with poor little platefuI of
broth. The thumb is placed in such a
manner on your hand that it can face
each of the other fingers; one after the
other, or all together, as you please, and
by this we are enabled to grasp, as with
a pair of pincers. all objects, whether
large or small Our hands owe their
perfection of usefulness to this bappy
arrangement, which has been bestowed
on no other animal except the monkey,
our nearest neighbor.

Secretary Teller, of the Interior depart
ment, yesterday rendered an important de-
cision respecting the right of mill-owners
and residents upon the mineral lands of
the United States to cut wood and timber
from such lands within The lines of mining
claims regularly located and possessed un
der local laws and customs, and the laws
of the United States governing the loca-
ton of such claims. The Secretary holds
as follows:
Locations of mining claims so long as
they comply with the law governing their
possession, are invested by Congress with
the exclusive right to possession and en-
Hiognaent of all the surface Included within
the lines of their locations. This right
amounts to property capable of being
enjoyed or transferred subject to all ordi-
nary rules governing the enjoyment of all
other property separable and separate
from the fee of the land. 1t may conse-
auehtly be protected in the courts, and it
is the duty of the possessor to care for his
own if a trespass be attempted by strangers
Having armed the location with the COM
plete grant of possessor he alone is con-
cerned for it's protection, and may un-
doubleday maintain suit to that end, but
he can no longer, after awaiting himself Of
the exclusive right, ask the government to
bring action for what is no trespass except
against such individual right of posses
sion.

The Cincinnati Commercial remarks de-
spondently and with quaver in its
voice:
THE position of Secretary Folger is a
very painful one. 1t was bad enough to
be nominated by the republican delegates
from democratic towns, but when it is
shown that the nomination was effected
by forgery and other frauds, the case be
comes desperate. We are of opinion Fol-
ger viii have to decline. If he persists in
running he WILDE beaten. AS the situa-
ton is, the majority against him would be
enormous. But we should think reslgna-
ton would be disagreeable. The admins
tration has Numbered into great difficulty.
and the president has gone asfishing-

THE BLOODY SHIRT AGAIN.

The Jay Hubbell congressional commit
tee is conceded by most decent Republi-
cans in all sections of the country to be
utterly infamous in its financial methods,
Even those who accept its aid profess at
least to despise its method of extorting
money from dependent government en-
ployes But despite the almost universal
condemnation of the assessment system
the committee Keeps right on in its shame
less work. 1t is not strange then that this
conscienceless cabal should resort to false
hood and SANDER to revive sectional pref
udice and hatred for party purposes.
Hence we have fresh resort to all kinds
of manufactured statements and open ly-
ing to renew the dying bitterness which
civil strife created between the sections.
No card which the Republican party played
in past years had the potency of that shut
fed out of the Southern outrage mill
While the game thus played did both sec
tions infinite injury and retarded for years
the returning prosperity. it effected the
purpose of Radical partisans and the ar
my. who lived on party bounty. In the
Bloody shirt this committee does not hesi-
tate to hoist it and faunt it again before
those whose passions it
is hoped may be thus inaamed.
In that, as in all else that such managers
do, the peace of the country, the interests
of the people. the honor of the Union,
weigh nothing against the chances to aug
ment party prospects. This committee does
not, therefore, hesitate to represent the
Aeohditien of the southern States as little
less than anarchical and the people living
under reign of terror The unparalleled
growth of southern Industries, the expan
sion of commerce and production and the
increase Of population, the signs and re-
