II Governor Black should heed the
repeated pleas for pardon of John Y.
McKane he will disappoint his friends,
strike serious blow at the sanctity
of the ballot and render practically
valueless the most wholesome lesson 10
political criminals ever taught in an
individual case in this state. The en-
envy of pure elections ought to go to
the gallows and be hung by the neck
until dead. State prison is too gooI
for such as McKane. His pardon
would be revolutionary.

The story may or may not be true
that England refuses to interfere with
Germanys free hand in China on the
condition that Germany does not
coerce England in Egypt, but it is a
reflection on the position of England
that such a story should even be told.
Time was when England was not sus-
pected capable of such trades and
agreements. England in an earlier age
would have asked neither advice, as
sistance nor liberation in holding
Egypt. There is nothing more remark
able in modern history than the self
abandonment Of Great Britain OF the
aosition. of a first-class power.

The great European powers, Eng
land, France, Germany and Italy, have
cut the continent of Africa up into
pieces and each taken a share. Moth
ing like it was ever accomplished with
so little noise in the history of the
world. China is now the victim they
are all looking toward with covetous
eyes. The scramble is just beginning
and it looks today as though
before one year goes by cv-
cry great European power will
demand slice off from the celes-
tial empire. Unless the thieves fall
out there is no power that can save The
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China.

Paris has about 100000 electric lights
and London twice as many. More than
half of Berlin's streets are now lighted
with gas glow light, perfectly white,
and five times as powerful as the old
flame, and the lamps are being placed
rapidly in the other streets, and the
city, with consumption of 10000, 900
cubic meters of gas, will have fv=-
fold the light heretofore obtained from
100000. The 100000 oil lamps
burned nightly in England cause 900
deaths annually and 165 fires yearly
in London alone.

After sitting laboriously in special

Inequality increases as society i'd
vances from the elementary to the
complex. And so does philanthrophy.
But because Of this are we prepared
to return to the original tribal condi-
ton? Hardly. 1t is in the effort to
remove inequality and ameliorate it's
effects that should engage every good
citizen, that the whole moral nature
of the community is advanced with the
increase of it's material wealth.

The pride which would make Spain
crave a short war with the United
States as a means to crawl gracefully
down from her altitude in Cuba is not
attended with a desire for justice or
any respect for common sense. 1t is
the meanest and foolishest of bluff;
and confession of defeat would be
twice as manly and would save a
great many lives.

APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Urged to Preserve the Peace in North
Carolina.

Urged to PreserVe the Peace in North
Carolina.
The following address was presented at
the White House by committee today:
ITO the President of the United States.
Sir. At a mass meeting of citizens from
many portions of the United States, held
under the auspices of the Lyceum of the
Second Baptist Church. Washington, ID. c.,
on Tuesday evening. the list instant, a COM
mittee was appointed to present to you the
situation in the state of North Carolina
and to ask you to exercise your good Of
nces to preserve the peace and to maintain
constitutional government in all portions of
our common country.
I'VE do not come to YOU as politicians
seeking some partisan end, nor simply as
colored men aroused by the passions of the
four, but, sir, we come as economists, as
students of history and the science of gov
eminent; as patriots Jealous of our coun-
1rys veal and as American citizens to ask
You, the chief executive of this great ma
ton, and commander-in-chief of the land
ard naval forces, to exercise all constitu-
tional power in you vested to protect every
American citizen in the enjoyment of his
constitutional rights
The present situation in the state of
North Carolina is but an act in the series
of the reign of terror fnaugurated in the
Year of 1873. to wrest from the legitimate
electors the state governments in cerIa
sections of the country and to rullify the
the United States by resorting first to mob
violence and then to subterfuse in order to
Deprive citizens OF their right to vote and
10 hold office.
The lawless reign was first inaugurated
IN the state of Louisiana. AMI step by
step it las worked its way eastward AMI
northwerd. until it now borders on the
state of Virginia, and will soon overshadow
the national capital. and ere long tie late
STAKEHOLDER will call his slaves at :hc base
of Bunker Hill.
THE thing has gone far enough. This
nation is now dealing with new problems
In establishing governments in the islands
OF the sea, and we do not want our use
fulness impaired before the eyes of the ma
tons of the world by the charge, even
though it be but tolerably well founded,
that We have only quasi-C constitutional
government in the United States. The
present situation is a grave one, and the
attitude of lawless men in the state of
North Carolina will be far-reaching in it's
effects unless it Is counteracted by the
strong arm of government.
