UNLAWFUL AND ARRlrRA

Some OF the most eminent LAWYERS in
the state have, at the Instance of Chair
man Simmons investigated the question
ana given 1t as their opinion, that Col,
Shaifer in arresting Mr.. Reid, one of the
registrars of Halifax county. for the
alleged refusal to allow United States
supervisors to copy the registration
books, has acted contrary to law and in
excess of his powers as Chief Supervisor
and Commissioner, and it is believed his
conduct Is an attempt to coerce the suf
frages OF the people IN favor of the re-
publican party under which he holds the
office OF Post Master of the city of Raj
eigh. The opinion of these legal gentle
men is based npon Section 2O29 revised
statutes of the United States as follows
The supervisors of election appointed
Ior any county or parish in any Congress
siona district at the instance of ten c,t
lzens, as provided in section two thous
and and eleven (2O1D shall have no AN

MR. BALL AND THE FORCE BILL.

We understand that Mr.. Ball, the re-
publcan-third party combination candi-
date for associate justice of the Supreme
Cour., don't like to be called ex union
Lacquer. Then why don't he deny that
he was ever a member of such a secret
political society, if he can. Does he
deny that he was assistant Judge advo-
cate of military district No. 2, under the
military satrap General Canby9 Does be
deny that he held this Office from 1867
until the breaking up of headquarters in
1852 Does Mr.. Ball expect that the
people of North Carolina will elevate to
the bench of their highest court man
who held the office of Assistant Judge
Advocate under military dictatora
Our people remember that when the
late Governor Fowle was a Superior
court judge he promptly resigned before
he would submit even to the sem
blance of military interference with his
duties. And by this act Governor Fowle
wrote his hame indellibly on the
brightest page of North Carolina's
history. 1t was the act of
patriot, and should be related in our
schools for all time But Mr.. Ball writes
gentleman in this city that he 'consid.
ers the force bill less iniquitous than
the North Carolina election law" Itmav
be legitimately inferred that if Mr.. Ball
was on the Supreme court bench he would
decide, If he had the power, to substitute
the force bill for the present election law.
This is not the kind of man to sit on
our Supreme court bench. He has too
much OF the mental make up of military
judge sdvocote. He still smells of
court martials and guard rooms.
The scent of satrap Candy is about
him. No, Mr.. Ball, you cannot be
elected justice of the Supreme court of
North Carolina. The republican party
and gideons band ma, find in YOU fl
representative, but your political and
mental make up units You for the high
place to which you aspire.

ward Carliu. "A sailor, formerly in
the etfs;,loy nf the Pacific Mai
cptnpany, will enier.a claim with

ton against the ,vernment OF
Ecuador for $4,000 damages. Car
lin says he went TO Ecuador in 1888.
At Cuanco, an interior city, he was
seized by the police authorities and
thrown into the vilest sort Of a
dungeon, where he was brutally
treated for several months. He was
then forced to work In the mines
for year and after that was re-
turned to prison, where he was
kept nine months more. He was
then released and told to yet out of
the country. The only explanation
offered for the indiguities hea ped
upon him WAS that he was the
wrong man. After his release Car
lin discovered that he bore a re-
markable resemblance to an English

RAvAGEs OF THE CHOLERA
The Disease is Spreading in Euro.
pean Countries.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.-Wed-
nesday new cases of cholera were
ia In excess of those reported Tues
day, and the deaths We're 81 in ex-
cess OF those reported the same day.
The totals for Russia, according to
official figures, were 5679 new cases
and 2743 deaths The disease is
spreading In this city, but the peo-
pie now show little concern about it.
The number of new cases reported
here is larger, but the death rate is
smaller. The doctors say the disease
is less viruent In character, aud
that in addition TO this the number
of deaths has been lessened by better
arrangements for the treatment of
patients. When the disease first
became epidemic the physicians of
the city were greatly overworked,
but now number of doctors from
other places are serving in the hos
pitals and much closer attention can
be given to the sufferers. The num-
her of hospital attendants has also
been largely increased. There has
been no relation of of strict sanitary
regulations, and any violation is
met with prompt punishment. 1t
is believed the custom that prevails
among the poorer classes, maay of
whom during the summer leave the
city aud live at Staraya, Novaya,
Derevyna, Polustnovo and other
suburbs of st. Petersburg, has done
much ID prevent the mortality in
the city from being greater. AS yet
these places have been little affected |
with the disease. Though the out.
look is better at present, the author
tiles are looking forward anxiously
10 the beginn ng of cold weather,
when the germs Of disease will be.
'ome h ,rmless. One reason for the
leople Of ~. Petersburg not getting
Ianic-strlcken over the disease Is
nat European, and perhaps also
cholera is epidemic in the
NY, an average of 300 deaths
being due to this cause.
)uring the present eI idemic the
eaths have of course, been far more
han usual, but with the disease

THE LOTTERY COMPANY.
Making an Effort to Get Into the
Hawaiian Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. pa re.
cent arrival from Hawaii is author.
lty for the statement that the
Louisiana Lottery Co., through
confidential agents In Honolulu, is
eDdeavoring to obtain a charter
from the legislature there. The
company, taking advantage of the
we'll known need of money In the
Island kingdom, offers a tempting
bait In the shape of 81 ,000, 900 toward
an ocean cable, as well as 800, 900
per anDum to further local enter
prises, and an additional sum to
meet half the running expenses of
the government. Furthermore, 1t
promises to put on weekly line of
steamers to San Francisco. Owing
to the strong religious sentiment of
the people, it Is doubtful if the pro.
position will be accepted, though
from rurely financial standpoint
the arrangement would be yer
table bonanza for the country. The
negotiations are being carried on
with much secrecy, but as soon rs
it shows itself in the Legislature the
missionary following are sure to
make a fierce onslaught upon it. If
The bill passes, It is not 80 sure that
the charter will be of much benefit
TO the company, as the United
States will doubtless refuse to per-
nit the lottery company to use the
nails for the purposes Oft business.

will be taken on the arrival of these

action of President Harrison ia the
matter of canal tolls. 1T is anticipat-

Canadian side viii then be fl for
traffic. Hugh Ryan, contractor fuI

ton for the opening of excavation,
the agent has engaged so stone-cut-
ters VINO will proceed to the works
at once and remain all winter. This
action is in pursuance Of an order
from the government to push the
canal to completion with all possible
expedition.
