SPAIN AND THE PHILIPPINES
QUESTION.

The Madrid correspondent of the
London Standard says that very I'm
favorable impression has been created
by the reported intention of President
Mckinley to instruct the American
ueace commissioners to insist upon the
cession of the island of Luzon, the
placing of American commerce in the
Philippines on the same footing as
Spanish commerce, and to exact from
Spain pledge that none of her colonies
will be coded to any of the European
powers. If such instructions are given,
it is doubtful if an understanding can be
reached. Moreover, the separation Of
church and state in the Philippines.
which, it is said, will be Insisted upon
by the Americans, will present grave
difficulties with the vatican. Besides,
the powerful religious orders III Spain
have always been supporters of Don
Carlos. 4 pledge not to cede the
island would displease many states
men. The people are daily becoming
more disposed TO sell the archipelago
to the highest bidder, and especially to
those powers that would be most likely
to thwart American political and CON-
mercial influences in the far east. The
American pretensions are calculated TO
increase the growing desire of Spain to
cease all connection with the Philip
pines and to compel the United States
10 govern the islands.

PEARSON'S CONTEST.

The Duke of Richmond Hill had made
an accurate estimate of how much it
would cost to buy the Ninth district, and
when the returns showed that he was
defeated he could not understand it. He
is now in Washington and tells a
Washington reporter that he has de-
manded recount, which will be had on
December LIST, and has given notice of his
intention to contest the election before
the House of Representatives.
Now there isn't the shadow of a shade
of ground for this contest which Pearson
will make. and his purpose in making
it is to make his society friends in Wash
ington think he is more popular in North
Carolina than he really is. As pertinent
to Pearson's contest, the Bryson City
Democrat says:
1--WE are informed that in one of the
largest Republican precincts in Cherokee
county the voting was done by using hats
instead of ballot boxes, as required by
law. If this is true. it is another in
stance of Republican Irregularities that
it would be we'll for the Hon. Richmond
Pearson to look into before he begins a
contest for the seat to which Hon. w. L.
Crawford has been elected"

Mr.. j. r. Sossamon wants the Popu-
lists to get together" hold convention
and formulate "a policy for the party"
If Mr.. Sossamon wants to find the Pop
ulist party in North Carolina. he will dis
cover that most of its best members
joined the Democratic party on the Sth,
of November, and most of the others are
rejoicing at the defeat Of the Infamous
combination" as Congressman Strowd
called the ticket lPopulists were asked
to vote in November.

WHEN MAGISTRATES QUALIFY.

Some question has been made lis to
when Justices of the peace elect
should qualify. Section S21 of the Code
requires them to qualify within thirty
days after their appointment under the
old system. So far as appears this
general provision has not been repealed
and as applying to the magistrates
elected un1er the present system would
require them to qualify not later than
Monday, December the 9Th.
The only other references to the time
of qualification under more recent acts
is in Chapter 157, Laws of 1895, and
Chapter ), Laws of 1897. The latter
declares that the terms of justices elect
ed in 1896 shall expire Monday, Deem
Der the 9TH, 1898. BY implication, of
course, the terms of their successors be-
gin on the same day and they should
qualify. therefore, by that time.
The provisions of the Code and of the
statutes agree as to the time for qualify
ing according to the construction of good
legal opinion and all justices-elect
should be sure to qualify by December
the 9th, 1893.

A DESERVED REELECTION.

At the Western \. G. Conference in
Winston this week, Rev. L. w. Craw-
ford, d. D., was reelected editor of the
North Carolina Christian Advocate.
This will be gratifying news. to all who
love free speech and liberty of the press
DIR. Crawford is a leader in his church,
a manly and upright man. and under his
management the Advocate is better than
at any time in its history. There is a
movement looking to the ownership of
the Advocate by the two Conferences.
If it materialzes, it is to be hoped that
Dr. Crawford will remain on the staff.
His fitness for the position has been dem
onstrated. Editors are like trees-they
have to grow to be strong and afford
shelter and shade.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-11-23

1t might be urged by some ordinarily
to deal with matters involving radical
and important changes in the Constitu-
ton as a convention of able men elected
for that purpose. But this year that OBJ
lection would not lie, for the Legislature
chosen is a singularly able body of men,
comprising ex-Congressmen, eX-Judges,
able and learned lawyers, the best bust
ness men, the wisest farmers and the
highest representatives of the intelligence
and patriotism of the State. If an cleo
ton was called to elect members of Il
Constitutional Convention, the State
would be fortunate if it could secure the
return of the men who comprise the
members are as capable of forming Il
constitutional amendment as any Con
stitutional Convention could be. and the
general opinion seems to be that they
will undertake this mighty task even to
the exclusion of other matters.
The lessons of the recent past teach
that it is neither prudent nor wise to
delay permanent solution of the suf-
frage problem. Negro rule has cursed
the State. The people have voted not
only to put an end to it now, but have
virtually instructed their representatives
mt lat IN of
suffrage as to make it impossible III
this generation for a few demagOgues to
come into power again by uniting the dis,
satisfied whites with the immense ignor
ant negro vote. The Legislature can
not restrict suffrage. Any disposition
it may attempt to make of the question
will at the most be temporary. The only
hope of permanent settlement is in an
amendment to the State Constitution,
and we are glad to know that leading
members of the Legislature are now
studying the Constitutions of Rhode Is
land, South Carolina, Massachusetts
and Mississippi with Il view to framing
the best amendment to rid the people for
generation of Il repetition of the pres
ent bad government.
The people are looking confidently to
the Legislature to settle once and for
all time the question of regulating suf-
frage. 1t is our conviction that they
can do without the necessity of Il Con-
stitutional Convention, and can submit
an amendment that will accomplish the
desired result in August, 1899, and settle
the momentous question before the ma
tional campaign in 1900.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-11-23
A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION NOV
NEEDEp.

We do not think there is any real
conflict between those who are advocat-
ing Constitutional Convention and
those who advocate an amendment to the
Constitution, restricting suffrage, to be
submitted by the Legislature when it
meets in January. They both will prob
ably act together when it is understood
that they have the same end in view.
One objection to the Constitutional
Convention is that it would be expensive
TO call one. This is a day of strict econ
omy, and no expense ought to be incur
red that can be avoided. Another OBJ
lection is that the election of delegates
would precipitate Il contest as spirited
and as bitter as the one through which
we have recently passed. After it was
elected, there would be no limit to the
matters it might take i'll hand, and in
stead of devoting itself to the all-im-
portant matter of suffrage it might take
up many other matters that are not now
vi DIPSSlllS anu thth, hitNA
the Convention had completed its work
the amendments agreed upon would
have to be submitted<to the people, and
would require another election. These
are some of the reasons why it is moi
wise. in our Judgment, to call Il Con
stitutional Convention.
The Democrats of the General Assem-
bly, have majority sufficiently large il
both branches to formulate any amend
ments desired, and submit them direc
TO the people without the necessity OF ;
Constitutional Convention. This saves
the expense the trouble and the annoy
ance of electing members of consn
tutional Convention, while il secures IN
desired results in more direct way.

Messrs Wells, Richardson Il Co.,
Gentlemen-If anybody in the whole
regiment of Rough Riders had chance
to observe the general weakened condj-
ton of the men when they started back
to the United States, as compared with
their Stalwart condition when they sailed
from San Antonio ON June s, think |
had.
Oklahoma is generally regarded as a
healthy climate, and last May. when |
left there, l hardly knew what sickness
meant Earlier in life, however, ] had
lived in the East, and after Il month in
service knew that what l needed. in my
general rundown condition, was Il nerve
tonic. | knew if my nerves were fixed
up there would be no trouble about my
general health as soon as | got away
from the army.
| also knew the position that Paine's
celery compound occupied, although 1
had not had occasion to use it much my
self. | got a few bottles of it and be-
gan to take it and give it to Il few of my
acquaintance.
1t actually seemed to build up my
nervous constitution almost as rapidly as
the Southern climate had torn it down.
The same thing was true of the other
men / gave it to.
Unless ! had found this tonic to re-
store my nerves | feel sure that ! would
have gone to the hospital at Montauk
! oint, and | might have shared the fate
of many other poor fellows whose inn
poverished condition did not yield to the
doctors treatment
1t gives me pleasure to recommend
Paine's celery compound as the best
remedy ever sold in America.
