THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.
rarntterille. Y. q. Feb. 3. 1899.

Fayetteville. y. c.. Feb 3. 1899.
To the Editor: In common with many
other Democrats / felt relieved this
morning after reading the assurance in
the News and Observer that it is GER
tain that the General Assembly will pass
mn election law and submit the proper
amendments to the Constitution regHlat-
ing and restricting the rights of suffrage
felt relieved for the reason that there
have been rumorS of dSsension among
the Democrats OH this most vital matter
~ the welfare of the State and party.
This General Assembly WAS elected by
the white men of the State upon the
issue of White Supremacy now ana
forever. and above all else that is the
supreme duty of the hour, and when
these rumors continued 10 be circulated.
there was much astohishment. for our
peone have the utmost confidence in
the wisdom. intelligence and patriotism
of the members of the Assembly who
were elected by the tax-paying and in
teligenf people of the State. 1t is only
when confronted Ivy great crisis in
the public affairs that the people Gamble
aroused in political campaign as they
were in the memorable one of last year,
and it is but right that they expect TO
have protection again--not the POSSIBLE
~ of another such crisis in at least an
other generation. t9
have believed that the Democratic
party should take advantage of the pres
ont opportunity and call a Constitutional
convention so that we can
change that instrumental Other respects
than the suffrage, question. which time
has taught us is necessary. but as ii
has been determined otherwise | will not
argue the necessity for it. IL we can
get the Constitution changed so that no
white main shall he DISTINGUISHED. how
ever ignorant or poor. then will the peo-
pie, be satisfied and they will be with
nothing less. in my humble opinion.
| know we have many of the best and
strongest men in the State in the AS
semhly. and my surprise at the
rumors was greater on that account.
The proposed amendment published in
Sundays News and Observer seems to
admirably fit the situation
Judge Connor's interview and his
opinion as To the constitutionaity of the

ment or reason, seems to he sound. and
coming from one who stands so high as
Il jurist carries conviction TO many who
have not studied the question from a
legal standpoint.
Give us that or something better if it
is possible. is the demand of the De
mocracy of the Cape Fear section. and
give us an election law by which the
amendment can be adopted. The last
campaign was extreme in many respects.
and extreme and decisive measures are
expected upon the suffrage question.

GOVERNORS APPROVAL.
The Governor set the seal Of his ap-

quiring. the payment into the state
Treasury of all moneys belonging to
the state received by various State IN
stitutions, commissions and officers ana
directing the disposition of the same.
BROKE THE RECORD.
His Fxcellency Governor Gage spent
very little time comparatively over the
general appropriation bill.
Last evening a message from MIN
was opened announcing his entire ap-
proval of the bill, not a single item
being vetoed.
Such thing has not happened before
among Californla's Governors, and the
Ways and Means Committee, Valentine
Chairman, whence the bill emanated,
may take to itself the credit of being a
record breaker.
NOT ALL SERENE.
The session was not wholly peaceable
last evening. When A.. B. I59ILos
Angeles County's amendment to the
county government bill-was on nnal
passage, a controversy was renewed
which began several days ago, with
some amendments which Miller OF Los
Angeles wished to offer, one being tnat
a contemplated reduced schedule OF OF
fic.al salaries should not go into eI-
feet until the expiration of four years.
The record-union., 1899-03-18

This was opposed by Valentine and by
others of that delegation, and last
evening the family skirmish was re-
newed and somewhat aggravated by
the advent of an outsider, Cowan Of
Sonoma, into the fight.
Cowan offered an amendment pro-
vicing that the bill should not become
operative until January l, 1900. He
said he had no interest in the bill, and
did not wish to interfere. He would
not even take as active an interest in
the matter as Valentine had taken the
other day in Sonoma matters.
But, Cowan said, he Offered the
amendment at the request of another
person For his part, he said, he was
not particularly afraid of lobbyists. He
thought they often did a great deal of
good. Any citizen in the State who
saw bad thing or a good thing in any
bill had right to come here and point
it out to members. Lobbying did not
necessarily mean bribery.
And, in any case, Cowan said, lobby
ing on the part of outsiders was no
worse than for members to go into the
lobby and persuade other members to
stay out of the House so that no quo
rum might be obtained on bills they
were opposed to.
Valentine jumped to his feet and de-
manded to know if Cowan alluded to
him
Cowan replied that he did not.
