FlAGRAST AND OUTRAGEOUS UsURPA
TON.

In Bladen county the Democratic
county commissioners elected themselves
members of the board of education. The
Republicans, conceiving that this was
permitting one man to hold two Offices
in violation of law, brought an action
that went to the Supreme court. 1t was
the case of Barnhil VS.. Thompson, and
the court decided Chief Justice Fair
cloth delivering the opinion, that under
Article XIV. section Z, of the Consti-
tuition, no man can hold two offices, ey-
cept justices of the peace, militia officers.
etc, and that the acceptance of the
second office vacates the first, without
resignation. In that case IA county com
missioner was elected Il member of the
county board of education, and it was
held that his acceptance of the latter
terminated his office as county commits
sioner. The court says: This provision
of the Constitution is plain and leaves
no room for construction, whenever the
two places are found to be public of
fees"
In New Hanover county the Republi-
can board of commissioners elected
themselves as the board of education
When the opinion of the Supreme court
in the Bladen county case came out they
Immediately acknowledged that they
were out of office as commissioners, but
begged the Democratic clerk to let them
hold a final meeting as commissioners
in order to close M some unfinished
business. The clerk thereupon delayed
the appointment of their successors until
after the next meeting of the board. In
the meantime Governor Russell paid Il
visit to Wilmington. When the clerk
made his appointments of Democrats TO
succeed the Republican board, the Re,
publicans refused to give up and are
pose of holding on to offices, which the
Supreme court has decided they are not
entitled to and which they themselves adj
mitted they could not hold. They are
doing this in order to control the cleo
ton machinery of New Hanover county
with IL view to voting eX-convicts and
imported negroes in the coming election.
The history of the State does not show
more fragrant and outrageous usurpa-
ton of office. or amore infamous at
tempt to defraud the voters of New
Hanover county. But for the advice of
Governor Russell or his henchmen, the
commissioners would have vacated their
Offices which they illegally hold upon The
publication of Chief Justice Faircloth' s
opinion. They cannot say it is IA parts
an decision because it was rendered by
n Republican court and written by the
intense partisan Republican Chief JUS
tice. The only reason they are holding
on in defiance of law is because they
are determined to appoint the election Of
fcers in September. After they have
done this and made it easy for ex-con-
victs and imported South Carolina ne
groes to vote. these illegal officers will
not care a fig about their suits.

It is going a good way from home to
learn the news, but if this war and the
Cuban and Philippine experiment shall
convince certain all-wise patriots up in
New England that the ignorant negro
was not, and still is not fit to use the
voting privilege then it will not have
been fought in vain. 1t is too much to
EXPECT that they will admit anything OF
the sort. but if they will only shut up we
shall be content down here. 1t is rest,
not repentance, that we seek.

The action of the stockholders of the
North Carolina Railroad looking TO the
erection of II monument to CALVIN
Graves, the man whose casting vote
built the North Carolina Railroad, will
be read with pleasure. We fail to see
the appropriateness, however, of the sug-
yestion that it be erected in Greensboro.
1t was in Raleigh that Mr.. Graves made
his reputation and in the State Capitol
that he gave the casting vote. 1t Is
fitting that the memorial should bt
erected in the Capitol or in the Capitol
Grounds at Raleigh.

bonds have added to the burdens. No
patriot objects to paying war taxes just
ly levied, but the inequitable measure
that throws all the burden on the con-
sumner and permits the great corpora
tons to escape their just share will
meet the condemnation of the people.
Even worse than the shameless imposi-
ton of the burden of the war taxes upon
the consumer is the issue of the war
bonds, when the experience of the War
Between the States and all other wars,
showed that the issue of paper money
would afford IL better means of proSccut-
ing the war without saddling an inn
mensc debt upon the country. An issue
of paper would not only have avoided
the debt and interest, but it would
have increased the circulation and helped
to give measure of prosperity. But
the men who bought the election de-
mandcd bonds, and bonds were issued.
With the record of the last Congress
even now be universally condemned but
for the war measures, 1T is no wonder
that the Republicans want to avoid an
election upon questions affecting Ameri-
cas- internal policy. In order to escape
rendering an account of their steward
ship, their subserviency to trusts, their
fnv tn ~ IA
money to buy the election, the Republi-
cans would advocate the annexation Of
Messopotamia or any other far off
land. All they want is an issue that
will sound big and grand and let the
people forget that while they shout for
wider domain their own homes and FIRE
sides are being taken from them by the
operations of the dishonest gold standard
and the robber tariff.
The Republicans will not be accommo
dated. They will have in 1900 to meet
over again the issues of 1896, with the
added proof of their failures to keep
their promises and their subserviency to
trusts and monopolies.
History will repeat itself. When JEFF
ferson arraigned the Federalism of his
day, which is Republicanism of to-day,
the money power and the worshippers of
monarchy combined to compass his de-
feat. But four years later the people
were aroused and Jefferson and his dis
ciples occupied the White House almost
Il quarter of Il century. The same in
nuence, only modernized and more fla
grant, defeated Bryan in 1896 No for
eign war or policy of imperialism can
blind the people to the fraud then COM
mtted and the legalzed robbery which
the beneficiaries of the fraud have inn
posed upon them. In 1900 the cause of
Bryan and Democracy will triumph.

A meeting of the Seventh Ward Demo
cratic Club has been called by the Sec
rotary, Miles McCarron, for Wednesday
evening. The meeting will be held in
Woeckner's Hall, Boulevard and Green
vile avenue.
When the United Democratic Club of
the Seventh Ward was organized last
Wednesday evening in the New York
Bay House in Greenville, many members
of the Seventh Ward Democratic Club
Joined. The meeting of the latter organic
alton on Wednesday evening has been
called for the purpose of deciding whether
the Seventh Ward Club will join forces
with the United Democratic Club.
The majority of the members are in
favor of this movement and are DESTROYS
of seeing a strong Democratic organiza-
ton in that ward.s The hard work of the
Democrats in the Greenville section for
the past two years or so has accomplished
much good and the big Republican
majorities in Greenville are things of the
past. In fact the members of the Demo-
cratic Club are confident that their party
will triumph in the Seventh Ward this
