JUDGE ROBINSON AND THE LAW
YERS.

The Rutherford Democrat announc-
ed last week that Judge Robinson had
written to the members Of the bar in
the twelfth district and requested
them to write" letters to The Charlotte
Observer generating him from the
charges made. The letters are begin
ming to appear.
Of all the professions in the world
the members of the legal profession
are the most clannish. They can rare
ly be induced to prosecute a black
sheep in their profession. They will
excuse things in a judge or lawyer
which they would denounce a layman
for with all violence. In the main
this is trait to be commended, but
when carried TO extremes it loses all
the virtue of assisting comrade, and
is a protection to the bad men who
are members of the legal profession.
We have known more than one case
when lawyers shielded q brother law
yer who had been guilty of dishonest
or disreputable conduct. We say this
much, not to impugn the honesty Of
the lawyers who are writing in de-
Tense of Judge Robinson, but to show
that there is a natural inclination
upon their part TO help brother, who
is not corrupt or charged with cor
ruption, when in trouble.
The truth about Judge Robinson, as
his acquaintance know, is that he is
an erratic, impulsive, easy-going,
genial, le-fellow-well-met sort of
man, wholly wanting in judicial tenn
permanent. He is a humane man, free
from any desire to harm even a fly.
He is as full of prejudice as an egg is
of meat. II he conceived dislike for
a man he is so constituted that he
cannot do him even half justice, being
Incorporate and violent and unac-
countable in his dislikes. He is as
bitter and malignant partisan as can
be found in the State seeking to con-
ceal his partisanship by violent abuse
of certain Republicans who are the
under dogs in the party, and ridiculing
the poor negroes on whose backs he
rides into office.
This is acorrect picture of the Judge
who was elected to succeed a man
whose judicial fitness, in a few short
months, was attested by the people
and bar alike.

DEMOCRATS NOT RESPONSIBLE

Senator Butler puts the responsible
ity where it belongs. Just before the
recent issue of bonds in his speech
urging the Senate to repeal the law
so that no more bonds could be issued
Senator Marion Butler said:
Let us repeal the Republican law
under which the Democratic President
is about to commit another great
wrong, to-wit: Issue more bonds" And
again: 'If Congress sits still and al
lows the President to issue these bonds
then Congress is just as responsible
for the wrong as the President him
self"
1t would be well to paste this in your
hat.

THE VANCE MONUMENT.

The Fayetteville Observer suggests
that a penny subscription be started
to raise funds for a statue to the late
Senator Vance, each county to be cali
ed upon to see that the equivalent or
a cent for each person in that county
is contributed. THAT would be $lI-
500 for our million and three quarters
of population"
The StatesviIle Landmark thinks
that the chief objection to this plan
would be that many who are able TO
do n great deal more would content
themselves with giving a cent. 1T is
not so much plan as the earnest pro-
secution of the work that is needed.
Three active men and women in every
county in the State could by some Ell
fort raise 500. There are 90 counties,
and we would in this manner soon
raise $4,000. OF course some OF the
counties would not raise one hundred
dollars, and others could easily raise
much more.
Cumberland, chiefly through Mrs.
Neil W. Ray, and Wilkes, chiefly
through Col w. III. IL. Cowles, are the
two counties that have the first place
on the honor roll. 1t ought to be an
easy matter for Buncombe, where
Vance was born and where his body
lies ;Mecklenburg where he voted and
which county he claimed as his home
for twenty years; and Wake, where
as Governor three times, he resided for
a number of years-we say it ought to
be easy for each of these counties to
rates $500. If they would do it before
the spring, the example would be con-
tagious, and by the anniversary of
Nance's death, ten thousand dollars
would be in the hands Of the COM
mittee
The following extract from private
letter from DR. r. J. Boykin, of Balti-
mroe. who was for many years one of
Vance's warmest friends, contains q
good suggestion:
In reading one of the voluminous
dailies short time ago, my attention
was attracted to the approaching COM
pletion of the Grant Monument" in
New York. / think ] saw it in the
New York World. At an rate it spoke
of the number of contributors TO the
building of that 100000 monument,
and stated there were over $4,000 con-
tributors, who gave from one cent to
$500 each.
This reminded me of the Importance
of some dozen or more North Carolina
papers, calling on their subscribers
weekly, for small donations, small con-
tribntions, any and all amounts from
ten cents to 800 or $500 each, to erect
the "Vance Monument" Why not,
and keep the subject alive until the
s25 1000 or $4,000 are raised to build
the monument? 1t is an absolute nee
essity and must be done. The question
is not, shall it be done? But how best
and quickest to do it? This action
with the aid of the ladies will succeed

PITTSBURGH, April 23.-Samuel
Gompels was in Pittsburgh today in
conference with the local leaders OF
the American federation OF labor. In
an interview he stated that the eight
hour movement was now paramount
in the minds of labor leaders. He said
over half million toilers would make
the demand for shorter day on May
/, and that most of them would get it
without struggle. In some trades
the hours will be reduced to only nine
hours, as it is not the desire. OF the
federation to precipitate any change
in industrial conditions that will prove
too violent. Continuing, he said:
81 do not want to predict that there
will Or not be strikes. When move
ments of this kind are started there is
no telling where they will end. At
the present time | do not know OF any
great strikes contemplated, or that
any will be necessary"
When asked what branches of trade
would join in the movement he said !:
"The building trades generally have
the eight-hour day in large cities, but
the trades that will make the request
are the carpenters, horse-shoers, stone
cutters, bridge and structural iron
workers and several other crafts.
There have been many conferences
lately in all the cities between rep
resentatives OF the trades unions and
the employers in reference to the
eight hour lule. The men have been
met in spirit of fairness. The result
OF these conferences will be seen in
the large industrial centers about May
4, which is the first Monday in the
month. The days work will be lessen
ed, but there will be no decrease Of
pay"
