WEDNESDAY. IF February Is, 1899.
REGULATING JEFFERSON'S POL
ICY.

Ii the policy of Imperialism shall be
made permanent, we must continue, as
Senator Vest happily put it, ito shoot
our principles into the Philippines with
Calling guns"
Imperialism means that we are to give
up the honest and just methods that
have characterized us for an hundred
years and initiate the awful example of
European nations. 1t means that we
must give up the Monroe doctrine and
the teaching of Jefferson. In a letter to
Clement Game in 1911, Mr.. jefferson
said:
what. in short. is the whole system
of Europe toward America but an afro
cious and insulting tyranny? One hem
isIhere of the earth, separated from the
other by the wide seas on both sides,
having a different system of interests
flowing from different climates. differ
ent soils. different productions, different
modes of existence and it's own local
relations and duties, is made subservient
to all the petty interests of the order, TO
their laws, their regulations. their pas
sions and wars, and .interdicted from So
cial intercourse. from the interchange
of mutual duties and comforts with their
neighbors. enjoined on all men by the
laws of nature"
The imperialists now propose to max
the American policies toward the Phil
lipenes exactly what jefferson complain
ed of in the policy pursued toward us in
the early days of the century.
jefferson was a wiser and safer guide
than Mark Hanna.

THERE is NO COLOR LINE IN
HUMANITY.

The conduct of all the people in Raj
eigh in this crisis when the snow has
brought suffering into many homes has
once again taught ms that there is no col
or line IN humanity. Those who are
in sorest need of wood and bread were
helped of both races, and nobody stops
to ask any questions except to find the
most needy so they can be the first to
be supplied.
After the November election, some of
the colored people were made by false
politicians to believe that the white peo-
pie were their enemies and that they
would not longer treat them kindly a
heretofore, and some good colored peo-
pie were made to believe that silly tale.
The generosity of the white people in
their hour of need is an object lesson
disproving the canards of bad politi-
clans.
Yesterday morning committee of
colored men were added to the soliciting
committee and they raised a neat sum
from the members of their race to help
in the general work of relief. That ac-
ton showed that, though they could do
little, they were resolved to do what they
could and show their white neighbors
that they were not willing simply to re
ceive help for their race without giving
what they could in returu.
It is in times of suffering and pati
that the best in men is brought to the
surface

A TRUST LAW-THE PEOPLE
HAVE LONG MEMORIES.

The Democratic State platform de-
nouneed the Republican party for giving
1.-THE trusts and monopolists greater pow
er to rob the people" The House show
ed that it was living up to such declara-
tions when it passed almost unanimously
the antitrust bill. The Senate will be
equally as true to campaign pledges. A
party that keeps its covenants lives and
grows; a party that forgets its promises
is repudiated by the people If Cleve-
lands administration had prosecuted the
trusts as vigorously as he denounced
them before the election, the Democratic
party would have won in 1896.
The people have long memories.

THE FALSE CHARGE AGAINST
JUDGE BROWN WITHDRAWN.

We have not known a greater wave of
Indignation than swept over the Legisla-
ture yesterday when the Republican rep
resentative from Davie county sought TO
get little petty partisan revenge by
a resolution TO impeach Judge George
H. Brown upon false charge. 1t is
creditable alike to the he5rt and ;llt'
good sense of his Republican associates
that they repudate the H. advised and
silly action, and took no part in it.
The fact that Mr.. White, of Iayic.
after q full examination, withdrew mis-
charges and said the representations
made to him having beeL found false h"
regretted having made them. This was
the proper course for him to pursue"
but he should have made this investiaa-
ton before bringing in his resolution of
impeachment. 1t IS no slight thing 10
reflect upon the character of any man,
much less one w1o wears the judicial
ermine While the charge made Was
shown to be lntrue and while ,lr
Wright is now willing to make amends,
his hasty resolution has wounded honest
hearts, and but for the fact that his
place is in public confidence is well es-
tablished, the charge, though withdrawn.
might have injured Judge Brown.
There were some members of the
House who were such friends of Judge
norwood that in their zeal to save him
some of them unintentionally went TO
even going to the extent of repeating iu,e
and unfounded gossip about good men.
1t was this that gave rise to the scanda-
lous charge about Judge Brown. Mr..
White evidently thought that he saw
petty partisan advantage in trying to
have an honorcd Democrat impeached
than peanut politics. 1t was SANDER
Gus.
\ moments reat ction shows that tie
impeachment If Judge Norwood Vas lie
cessary. Two years ago. lfter h. hat'
been too Irunk several dimes - hold
court, the legislature was u til. point
of impeaching hln. At rht: ,'.uIt,ro
the hands f The Judcia y committees
to be sent TO the Governor the first time
he got drunk, and out of the desire TO
give him every chance to redeem him
self, the impeachment proceedings were
virtually withdrawn. All parties, out
of large charity, acquiesced in the decis-
ion to give him another chance, Judge
Norwood has nobody to blame for the
action of this Legislature which forced
him to retire from the bench. His in
trinity alone is to blame. He has been
treated with the utmost kindness and
consideration, and those who voted to inn
peach him did so sorrowfully. They We're
forced to their action by their oaths.
Judge Brown is one of the ablest and
best Judges in North Carolina. He4 is
the Oldest Superior court judge in point
of service ON the bench, and stands
high as a man of character as well as
of learning. This incident will do him
no injury, for the people know HIM
too well to believe he would do any act
to bring discredit to the bench or dis
honor OH the name he bears.

The editors in the State in their an
nual gathering unanimously asked the
Legislature to enact a modern decent
libel law. The bill was introduced by
Mr.. Hoey, editor of the Shelby New
Era. 1t seems to have been pigeon-holed
or something like that. Is the Newbern
Journal right in saying that an editor
has no influence after he has spent him
self in winning an election?

an abundance of good and competent

Take the office of county treasurer
in Iredell for instance. 1t pays about
an average of $500 per year and vet it
never goes begging The fact is, there
are always a number of perfectly able

fill it; and the present treasurer, Mr..
Haynes, and his two Democratic prede-

gentlemen who are fully competent to
fill any of the county offices.

first-class man in almost any capacity

that the salaries of county officers
should not exceed these figures, we do
say that their fees should be reduced
