GOING ABOUT IN THE RIGHT WAY.

The white people of Newborn took the.
right stepTat their meeting ON Wednes-
day night when the appointed a commit
tee of their best men to draft proper
bills for their city and county govern
ment The meeting will be called to
ratify the work of the committee. so
that when the measures are introduced
in the Legislature they will be endorsed
by the white voters of Newbern and
Craven county, Such a course will be
hailed with pleasure by all members of
ing the county and city governments of
the East to do whatever the intelligent
voters of the cities and counties desire.
When they go about it in the spirit of
the Newbern people, the Legislature will
be made simple and easy.
In order to start the machinery of
government, it may be necessary for the
Legislature to elect some officials. 1t IS
just here where the opposition to the OLD
county government system came in.
People objected to the selection of Off
cials by one man or q few men. The
Newbern people. at their big meeting,
made such provision for the selection
of officers as will insure men acceptable
to the people. The following resolutions,
introduced by Mr. J. J. Woefenden,
were adopted:
Resolved, That in all appointees, by
the Legislature, both county and city,
before snch appointment is made, there
shall, in city matters, be held primary
in each ward in the city, wherein all
Democrats shall have right to vote, and
the party securing a majority of said
vote shall be appointed, in county affairs
there be held primary in each voting
precinct in the county, and the party oi
parties receiving the majority vote shall
be the one or ones appointed. Provided
at said primary every voter shall place
his name on the back of his ballot, fail
ing to do so, the ballot will be rejected.
"Resolved. That in all elections, city or
county, preceding same there shall be
held a primary in accordance with above
ItsOiutlOn anu party VI POI iNNti' "a >
the majority vote shall be declared the
nominee or nominees.
Resolved, That in the selection of
mayor, tax-collector and chief of police
for the city of Newbern, primary
shall be held in accordance with first
resolution and parties receiving a major
ity vote shall he declared the nominees.
Resolved, That in the selection of
county commisi9hers, whether by cleo
ton. or appointment, primary shall first
be held and parties receiving the ma.
jority vote shall be declared the nomi-
nees.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be given to Hon. James A. Bryan
our Senator"
1t would be well if the people in ths
other Eastern counties would follow thu
excellent example set by the people OF
Newbern.

We are told that il the light of Tie
election on the Sth Of November, 'the
dream Of Southern and Western ALI
ance~is evidently illusory." Come to
think of it, the dream of q Northeastern
and Southern ahlnte is also "il!ds,ry."
The suggestion Of any alliance with any
section is "illusory.' The only thing fc.
Southern Democrats 10 DO in 1900 is
to wage eternal wax against the money
power as it robs lie people through tie
control of money, trusts, or taX-dods;ng.
There is nothing sectional III such n
policy. 1t will deserve to win on such
issues. 1t is better to be defeated stand
ins for true Democracy than to win
by Republican policies.

ROBBED THE GRAVE.

A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
Il was in most dreadful condition.
Ny skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
clans had given me up. fortunately n
friend advised trying Electric Bitters,
and TO my great joy and surprise, the
first bottle made d decided Improvement.
| continued their use for three weeks
and am now q we'll man. know they
saved my life, and robbed the grave OF
another victim" No one should fail to
try them. Only so cents bottle AT
any drug store.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE LEGISLATURES AND THE
PRESS.
Statesville Landmark.

PRESS.
Statesville Landmark.
1t is stated in one of our contempora-
rics that member-elect of the Legisla-
turc, having been interviewed since the
election, said, with reference to various
newspaper suggestions as to the work
of the Legislature, that the papers
would better attend to their own bust
ness and leave the Legislature to attend
to its. We have not seen the interview
in question and do not know who it
was that gave it out, but we take leave
to say that whoever he is, he is a fool
he is twice fool. In the first place,
the newspapers have every right to offer
suggestions and give advice to the in
coming Legislature because. if the Dem
ocratic press had been dumb in the late
campaign there would be no Demo
cratic Legislature assembling at Raleigh
next month. We arc not saying that
the Democratic press alone carried the
election, but we do say that without
its help the State would not have gone
Democratic, and that thus 1t has earned
a right to proffer counsel as to next
years legislation.
In the second place, if this person,
whoever he is, had any sense, he would
welcome. suggestions from any quhrtcr.
The gravest imaginable problems are to
come before this Legislature. 1t win
hold in its hands the destinies of a great
party and, more still, the future of a
great commonwealth. There is before
it enough to cause its every member 10
seek counsel from on high and from
earth. and he who belongs to 1t and who
yet wants no suggestion as to its action,
is either too wise for this world or else
is an outright ass.

resentatives i'll Congress" Then, with
out machinery adopted beforehand and
put in operation by Federal authority,
to ascertain with certainty the number
of voters whose rights of suffrage are
denied or abridged" it is necessarily
left to an interminable congressional in
vestigation. which would be much more
difficult, uncertain and expensive than
taking an actual enumeration of the pop
ulation, to ascertain, if possible, the
number of DISTINGUISHED voters, in order
to apply the constitutional and mathe-
NAUTICAL rule of proportion which is pro-
vided as n basis for the reduction of
representatives in the lower house of
Congress. And these are some of the
difficulties which have prevented such
Federal action during the past third of
a century. even during the old recon-
struction times although the NV
Amendment has been part of the Uni
ted States Constitution since July 18th
1868. In this connection it is interest
ing to remember as an historical fact
that Ohio. (Mr. McKinley's State), rati-
18th. 1867, and the Legislature of that
State passed a resolution about a year
afterwards to withdraw its consent to
it.
We notice that the Washington Post
of the 9th instant, has published, and
editorially commented upon, a letter to
the New York Sun written by n Mr..
Thomas, of Illinois, upon this subject,
and in his letter Mr.. Thomas is quoted
as asserting that if the suggestion of
Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, should
be followed, ''some States would be
without a single member" In this as
sertion Mr.. Thomas himself is In error.
For Mr.. Thomas manifestly overlooked
that clause in Section ., Article /, L. 5.
Constitution which is not changed or
modified by the XIV Amendment, and
which still stands and reads as fol-
lows:
1.-THE number of representatives shall
not exceed one for every thirty thous-
and, but each States shall have at least
one representative"
Under no circumstances therefore, can
Congress prevent State from having
pat least one representative. But ut
all events, as a matter of practical poll
tics, this agitation of the subject of re-
ducing Il States representation in the
lower house of Congress is, as yet, a
long way off from the accomplishment
of tangible results, as must be mani
fest to all men who seriously think
upon this subject.
All lawyers know it IS hard thing
to prove a negative, and it would be
equally difficult to prove the number
of citizens in given State whose right
to vote has been denied or abridged"

Few perhaps have not been struck
with an exceedingly silly argument that
has been gravely repeated by every
journalistic advocate of expansion:
That the prophecies of evil when the
California and Louisiana tracts were ae-
CURED have not been fulfilled and there
fore there is no danger in the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines. 1t is almost an
insult to the intelligence to point out
what every man cannot fail to see, that
the cases are totally different, and that
the dangers are in nowisc the same. If
the argument means anything at all il
is that it would be wise foc the United
States to acquire the whole of North
and South America, the West Indies,
and as much of Asia and Africa as pos
sible. In other words, II nation cannot
possibly acquire more territory than il
can govern well.
