SNUFFING OUT THE CIGARETTE.
Tn,,rpol

Judge Caldwell, of the Supreme Court
of Tennessee. has struck terror to the
heart of the Tobacco Trust by deciding
that the new State law prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes is constitutional. The
law is of the most sweeping character
and the decision is equally so. Judge
Caldwell holds that cigarettes are wholly
deleterious, and so are not entitled to
any of the privileges of legitimate articles
of commerce. He does not admit that the
packages in which they are sold are orig
inal packages" in the sense in which the
United States Supreme Court applied the
term to bottles of liquor. and so, denies
to them the protection of the Federal
laws.
This decision is certain to stimulate the
movement for anti;cigarette laws in 9TH
or States If sustained by the Supreme
Court of the United States, to which
the ease is ITO carried it will be Il land
mark in the progress of this needed re-
form.

THE DEBATE TO. NIGHT.

Raleigh is right well pleased that
Wake Forest and Trinity colleges should
choose it as the place for their annual
debate. Besides giving to the debaters
and all friends warm welcome, the
Climber of Commerce has very properly
voted n handsome cup to go to the win
ners.
The intercollegiate debate is growing
in favor of recent years, and it deserves
to. The advantages of it are reciprocal.
The college man learns to adjust himself
to the worlds standards and the public
has an opportunity to gauge the work
being done in the colleges. The debates,
also, encourage the cultivation of the
qualities that go to the making Of a
public speaker, and, despite contrary
opinions, there is no evidence that the
public speaker is losing his Importance
as factor in our civilization.
1ne strongest objection urged to the
style of speaking cultivated in our col
leges is that it is apt to be rather de-
clamatory. The intercollegiate debate
is an excellent corrective of this. The
collegian is not slow to see the style OF
oratory that is most effective with an
all-class audience and to cultivate it.
The boys should have, and it is safe
to promise them, a packed house and Il
sympathetic and appreciative audience.
The question selected for discussion is
the burning topic Of the h0ar, and the
debate will not fail to be Interesting.

The esteemed Boston Transcript makes
moan that ''the outlook in the South
for the treatment of the great race
problem is very discouraging." The
Transcript has always been more or
less east down about this race problem
business. In fact the race problem
impnges on the whole representative

namically as Browning's poetry and

NOT AN ELECTION RIOT"

More or Jess carelessness on the part
of the State press, and the deliberate
desire on the part of certain section
of the Northern press to make political
capital, has lead to the Wilmington
troubles being called election riots. y
This is clearly a msnomer.
The election had passed off quietly, and
at most was but very indirectly con-
nected with the subsequent bloodshed.
The outbreak, as all should know, was
due to quite another cause. The negro
editor, Manly, had grossly insulted white
women. His presence in Wilmington
had become unbearable to the respectable
white people of that town. He was Il
menace and disturbing element, and
was ordered to get out. His office was
burned and the negroes fired on the
whites. That was the riot and the cause
of the riot, and it is just as well to keep
it in mind. To speak of it as an election
riot is about as accurate as to speak of
the troubles at Pana and Virden, Illinois,
as election riots. They all occurred
about election time. but the election was
responsible for none.
There were no election riots in North
Carolina On the contrary the election
was unusually quiet and devoid of Incl
dent.

THE NEGRO MASS-MEETING.
Washington Post

w dSnl0SIOn L OSl.
.It.appears that some 800 of our negro
fellow-citizens assembled i'll the Fifth
baptist Church, on Vermont avenue, last
Monday night, and relieved their feel
ingg by noisy denunciati0n of affairs
in the Carolinas, and, incidentally. of
The Washington Post The proceedings
10 doubt amused them. AT any rate,
we hope so. There is nothing like a
rousing assemblage with plenty Of fervor
and perspiration. and no possibility OF
trouble, to relieve the Overburdencd mind
and reduce the calOric in the system.
OF course. very few of the negroes pres
ent had any intelligent conception of
the circumstances of the case. We are
quite willing to believe that they were
sincere and honest in their expressions
of indignation. To them, the events of
the past few weeks in the CarOlinas pre-
scented the appearance Of a wicked
wrong. We shall not waste time in try
ing to cony nee them to the contrary.
Let it pass.
We are especially interested, however,
III the remarks of Col. Perry Carson.
Col Carson has always been the object
of our esteem. AS we appraise him, he
is a man of worth and substance-a man
any other Southern State and liv for the
rest of his life in the enjoyment of the
respect and good will of all reputable
white men. He has brains and tact,
good sense and dignity. and he would
surround himself withsfriends in any To-
cality whatsoever We are bound to
say. however. hat Col. Carson astOunded
us with his talk about powder and shot
sotn nfo 1 a of
talk we expected from a sensible man.
We can hardly bring ourselves to be-
ieve that Col. Carson really meant it.
The chances all are that he was carried
away by the innocent enthusiasm of the
moment and by a general and highly
credtable desire to contribute to the
eayety of nations. He was not serious
he could not have been serious. Col.
Carson is too good a man. too prudent
Il man, too sensible man to deliberately
advise his fellow-negroes to enter upon
course of violence which can result
only in their destruction. He would not
do il himself If he lived in North or
South Carolina. He would pursue there
the same policy he has adopted here.
and thrive upon the esteem and conf
dence of his white neighborS. He is Il
true friend of his own race. and would
he the last to lead them to their in
jury.
OF thc>~prevailing tone of the meeting
we must say that il was unwise,
albeit innocuous enough. The Carolina
negroes have had enough by this time of
mlSchievous cOunsels from men who
abandoned them at the first approach
of danger. 1t is not likely that they will
act upon the advice of men who have
kept at a safe distance from the begin
ming. 1t is easy to be intrepid and inn
petuous 800 miles out of range. The ne
groes of the South will take this frothy
"o"iferatiOn at its true value. But why
have so much incendiary cutlery on any
terms? What good purpose does it
serve? What end of humanity or civili-
zation does it promote? 1t can avail only
to aggravate disaster and increase the
sufferngs of the helpless and the inno-
cent--both black and white.

RELICS OF THE WAR.
A Pittsburg Teacher Adopts Inter
esting Method of Instruction.

From the Pittsburg Press.
Assistant Principal Sue Mclaughlin,
of the Bedford school, Twenty-ninth
ward, has begun a collection of relics
and data of the war, to be used in the
instruction of the high school classes
in the future. Through the aid of
United States Consul Snyder, of Port
Antonio, Jamaica, Miss Mclaughlin
has already received valuable relics
and information. Correct maps of the
territory where the battles of Guam
tanamo and Santiago were fought were
sent and a drawing of the engage
ment of Cervera's fleet was included.
Among the relics received is an ugly
Spanish dagger, which Consul Snyder
says was captured by Captain McCalla
from Captain Baracoa, a Spaniard, at
the battle of Guantanamo. One inter-
esting relic is breakfast plate. which
Mr., Snyder says he picked up on the
Maria Teresa after its destruction on
July 3. A button, said TO have been
taken from the dress coat of Admiral
Cervera, is among the curios. Other
relies are some Spanish coins taken
from the Vizcaya, two Spanish dollars
found on the Oquendo, a piece of the
Santiago cable that was cut, and the
empty shell of a Mauser rifle The lat
ter was picked up at Guantanamo.
