the people would be enlightened and
become interested and the cry for a
change would be followed by action
on the part of the legislature. Let us
d the testimony of Governor Gambler,
OF Georgia, as to one point. Georgia
has a board of ~pardons, but it is pot the
one we are in favor of. 1t is an adj
visory board, the governor having the
final say. In fact the p~ardoning power
in Georgia is invested in the governor
alone, and the board of pardons is a
sham. and a misnomer. They suggest
or recommend, but the governor has all
the power in his W hands. The gov
ernor of Georgia finds the board useful,
but he goes over all the cases himself.
He says it relieves him "of a vast deal
OF work which l really have not the
lime to perform, and at the same time
it secures to those who have been con-
victed Of crime a more speedy investi-
cation and consideration of their ap-
plication for executive clemency than
would be possible were there no such
commission"
Just as we have said before, he has
not time, like all other governors, "to
perform" the work assigned him, and
the commission helps him when it is
needed. No one man is able to attend
to the duties necessary in a wise exer-
else of the %pardoning power and also
attend to all the other duties of the
high and responsible office of governor.

ed to be able to meet the objections
OF those who. like Judge Allen,
thought a law which would pro-
tect honest men like the ed
itor Of the News and Observer,
the Chatham Record, Charlotte Obser-
yer and others he named in his speech
before the judiciary committee, might
give the very few u~nprincipled men who
happen to be in the newspaper business
liberty to Islander a man and blacken
his character without being held to-ac-
count" !
We would like for a democratic an
didate in the campaign to take that po-
sition in his speeches. 1t would bury
him forty fathoms in the deep sea Of
forgetfulness. What a satisfaction it
would De to the press at large TO expose
such insufferable sopbism, such DELHI
crate assumption of knowing all that is
right. The politicians should under
stand that newspaper men are their
equals in character and have as much
as they the law of honesty before their
eyes. The Landmark makes a proper
and effective point in comment:
"Mr. Rays explanation, we must say
with all due respect to him, is rather
lame. If it be correct, a he seems to
think, hat it would be impossible to
frame a libel law which would protect
honest newspaper men without at the
same time giving liberty to a few I'M
p%rincipled ones to SANDER and blacken
character, his argument can Only mean
that the honest editors, who comprise
the great majority, should be allowed
to suffer under ali unjust law because,
forsooth, a few 'depredators On human
character might take advantage of it.
We are unable to see the reason and
justice of this"
In all countries not Of the arbitrary,
one-man power kinda Turkey or a
Russia Or a Germany-publishers of
newspapers have some rights. Ever
since Milton wrote his splendid and
powerful "Areopagitica," the Press has
been deemed at least in constitutional
governments the very palladium and
safeguard of the liberties and rights of
the citizens. Men can sue for libel
when no libel was intended, and they
can be and have been most unjustly
iniquitously amersed under %unrighte-
GUS prosecution for damages as if it
was due to justice and was indeed a
suitable penance for faults and crimes.

TRADE AND Low INTEREST

Last week there was a fall in prices
Of stocks and yet money on call in New
York was reported high. But in spite
of such exceptions the financiers say
that interest rates in the United States
are bound to run low-not above 3 per
cent-and to show how far-seeing they
are to say hat this must be the rate
for quite twenty years ahead, and pro-
badly for so long as thirty years.. The
Chattanooga Tradesman, a gold organ
of the most pronounced type, in trying
to account for this very low rate of
interest, says this:
THAT is to say we have reached a
condition of accumulated cash capital,
that forces the lenders to go below the
prevailing interest charges in Germany
and France, and as low as the rate in
Great Britain. The chief causes of this
lowering cost of money are to be found
in the big accumulations of eastern
savings banks, and insurance COM
panies, life and fire. Another cause
that has 'beared' the loan market is
the accumulation of surplus capital in
the interior. An illustration of this is
the loaning of money in the eastern
states, by Kansas, Iowa and Illinois
banks. The one thing needed is to Sc
cure a more uniform distribution of the
country's reserve capital"
Dun for last Saturday says that bus
mess sis not at present improving.
There has been something very like a
check, partly the result of heavy buying
since January first to anticipate the
market, partly caused by the uncertain
ty about the operation of many combi-
nations and a shade of doubt about
foreign affairs also had some influence"
NOf course there are always causes real
or supposed to account for fluctuations
in business. 1t is observable that som
times too much business Injuries bust
ness. Plainly true if not automatic.
The new combinations-the ugly
trusts-are not helping the wool trade
Dun says. So with wooden goods. 1t
says:
More evidence appears that the
woollen manufacture is not helped as
yet by new combinations or the pros
pect of them, and the buying demand
has been Disappointing in many ways,
though in dress goods active. Sales of
wool we're 20, sos, 100 pounds at the chief

but not extraordinary demand for

A GLIMPSE AT THE CHARACTER
OF THE FlLIPINOS

The testimony of Admiral Dewey as
to the superiority Of the Filipinos to
the Cubans is not to be diSregarded.
He knows both. Take Luzon. Nearly
all the inhabitants have some educa-
ton, which can not be even limited at
in many sections in the United States.
Most can read and write, and could read
their ballots or a constitution if they
had one. A Spanish editor, living at
Manila, Senior Mora, writes that they
have the rudiments Of religion and
morality, and show a full capacity to
acquire that general tint of superficial
culture which is all that the great mass
of laboring people can aspire to any
where in the world. The native Fill
pinO does not know the vice of bias
phemy; he is not ordinarily obscene;
he is not Quarrelsome; he is respectful
to those who display authority; he is
docile and obedient, although he is
weak and remiss in the performance of
his duties; he bears his punishment and
believes it to be just when he is guilty
of a fault; but he becomes irritafed il
personally insulted, and he awaits with
rancor and in cold blood the moment

him a months hard labor"
He is very conceited, a racial defect,
and is very impressionable. He is
nervous, excitable and Imaginative.
He is inclined to be religious, and Is
open to superstition. But this applies
to the lower and least educated. Senior
Mora says that the enlightened classes
are free from such superstition. Their
instruction and education and their
contact with persons OF culture invigo-
rate the intelligence and give them
greater will power.
It must also be remembered that this
weakness of the Malay race is but rare
ly exhibited by the multitude, and only
when it is excited aud exploited by
fools or rascals."
He bears witness TO the simple and
peaceful habits" of most of the Fill
pinos, and says they are really defer
entail to their elders and superiors; very
obedient and submissive to authoritl;
hospitable, charitable and religious; a
great lover of the church and of her
ministers; and the enemy Of tumults
and revolts." Now that is a very good
Endorsement as a whole, and gives char
acter to the people who have been
driven into revolt and have so bravely
fought for liberty and independence
against a boastful country forever pratt
ing of equality, independence, liberty
and constitutional restraints.

LIBEL Law

The last of the lost libel law in the
recent legislature has not been heard
of. The newspaper men who are so
much relied upon in important politi-
cal campaigns to advocate the princi-
pies and plan of the democratic party,
and who can make the fortunes of can
didateS and aspirants will not agree to
be snubbed remorselessly by the men
whom they have so helped to be elect
ed members of the legislature. They
will call for a day of reckoning. Mr.. J.
F. Ray was of the committee to whom
the libel law was referred, and they
"smothered" in committee as the
Statesville Landmark we'll describes it.
Mr.. Ray seeks to defend the course of
his committee, of which the other men,
bers were ex-Judge w. r. Allen and
Mr.. Frank d. Winston. He states:
eth bill was handed to me by order
of the judiciary committee and before
subcommittee was called together the
author of the bill asked me to let him
have it for the purpose, as 1 under
stood, of preparing a substitute which
would meet the objections of those who
had manifested a disposition to oppose
the bill. l believe 1 heard nothing
further from it."
We respectfully submit that such
ignoring, such "smothering'' of a bill
in which every honest and honorable
editor and publisher in North Carolina
is interested, was neither right nor fair.
1t was gross neglect and contempt. Mr..
Ray aggravates the offence when he
gives for another this shadow of an ex-
cuse, that "arduous duties or he fail
