FATAL BLOW TO FREE GOVERNMENT.
Congressman Pearson Of the Ninth
District has recently written lorg
argume tent opposing the present North
Carolina election law. The Wash
ipgton Post in an editorial referring
10 Mr.. Parsons article, reprin's the
three sections of the election law
providing for the elt c'ion machinery
quoted by Mr.. Pearson, aud submits
very timely and pertinent com
ment upon the same. The three
sections Of the election law provid
ing for the election machinery, which
the Post prints aud comments upon
are as follows:
"Sec. 4. That there shall ne 3
State board of elections, consisting
| Of seven discreet persons, who shall
be electors, elected by the general
as sembly at ITS present session.
"Scc. That there shall be in
every county in the State a county
board of elections TO consist of three
discreet persons who are electors IL
the county in which they are to act

[ after provided by the State board o.
elections.
''Sec. 7. That it shall be tie duty
of the county beard IF elections IL
each county to appoint all regis rar
and Judges of election in their re
spective counties"
! Commenting upon this frsud-in
spring election law, the Post 9Th
adi,or of which, by the way is him

d pointedly remarks:
Aud it is only too evident that th
operation of such law will be de

~ opened at a decline, which was
correctly reported at New York,
but after the Information was re-
ceived in this country, the report
was sent out to the other ex.
changes that Liverpool futures
were rapidly advancing. In re-
Spouse to this supposed Liverpool
advance futures began to rapidly
advance on the New Orleans and
other exchanges to over fifty points
causing In New Orleans a complete
suspension OF business. The trick
was intended to shake out all the
short or selling interests through
out the country which 1t Is stated
suffered considerable loss. But our
sympathy is not with those who
lose in cotton futures. We have be-
fore stated it as our belief that this
system of gambling in cotton Is
generally injurious to the spot val
ne. In this case, however, we I'M
derstand that many farmers who
had their cotton on the market re-
ceived better price on the strength
OF this supposed rise, for which we
congratulate them.
The Democratic press OF the cOun-
try is taking very kindly to the
suggestion Of the New York World
that the next Democratic National
Convention nominate Dewey and
Wheel, r as its candidates for Pres
ident and Vice-President. Espe-
c1ally is this true since Dewey has
not denied that he would accept ;
aud of course Wheeler "is willin."
But how would such ticket fit the
party declarations of the last few
months7 1t is natural that Dewey
whose life has been spent on the
sea, should be in favor Of reaching
out for new possessions while We
all know that Wheeler is a ranl
imperialist, supporter of the ad
ministration's war record, canned
beef contracts, Alger and all. Ane
while it is probably true that thu
Democratic party is equal to an!
emergency which has a prospect o
success in it, and may be willin,
to take advantage of the great ad
miration which all men entertain
for Dewey's management of Shi

which the party has become com
!, mitted is the proper one, it woul

October "a. 1898.
A RELEASE BY THE NATURAL
GUARDIAN OF CHILDREN,
WITHOUT THE SANCTION OF
sOME TRIBUNAL. WILL NOT CUT
OFF ANY CLAIM OF THE CHILL
DREN TO AN INHERITANCE.
This was suit brought in the Terri
tory of New Mexico TO determine the
respective rights Of several illegitimate
children of Frederick MetZger, an un-
married man, to share in his estate. he
having died intestate. The court says:
While under the common law illegitl-
mate children did not inherit from their
father, the statutes of New Mexico in
PRODUCED a new rule of inheritance.
Natural children in the absence Of le-
Ultimate, are heirs to their fathers es-
tate, In preference to the ascendants
die intestate." In other words. under
this statute, there being no legitimate
children, illegitlmate children Inherit.
1t appears that on March 10, 1875, and
while Metzger was living, the mother
OF these plaintiffs, then minors, In her
own right and for the minors, receipt
ed and relinQushed all claims against
him. Without stopping to consider
what was meant by that release. and
giving to 1t all the scope which its Ian

natural guardian has no power to re-
lease the claim Of n ward-to an inherit

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system cffcctually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
