IT WILL NOT WORK.

The Republican Executive committee
having announced that it would test the
constitutionality of the new election law.
there is some discussion as to how it
will be done. We understand that the
Republicans have requested or viii re-
quest the Governor to call an election
in the senatorial district composed of
Buncombe, Madison and Haywood to
elect "a successor to Senator Thos !.
Murray. who resigned as senator to ac-
cept the position as clerk of the criminal
court of Madison county. The Republi-
cans think they would stand better
chance of carrying this than any other
district, and no matter how the election
resulted it would give the Supreme court
the chance to annul the election law.
Let them crack their whips. If the
Supreme court annuls the present law,
the Legislature in June will enact anoth-
err that will be better than the dishonest
law by which the Fusionists stole ten
thousand votes in 1896. The Repubh-
cans Matched out what they thought was
a very smart scheme at Statesyille. 1t
will not work.

BRAINS NOT ALL GONE

The Philadelphia Record observes
that the Republican party is expelling its
men of brain, and that leads the Char
otte Observer to refer for the one hun
brains and wisdom" when Cleveland and
his adorers bclted the Democratic party.
The Democratic party lost everything in
1894 because it did not repudiate the
Cleveland mugwumpery; it partially re-
gained its losses when it returned to
fundamental principles in 1896. The
present leaders of the Democratic party
can compare, man for man, with the
leaders who turned themselves out i'll
and brains Bryan is Cleveland's super
Tor. In 1892 VIM f. Harity was the
party's chairman, an excellent business
man who could not, however, be men
toned in the same breath with James
X. Jones who has long ranked with the
ablest Southern Senators. Blackburn
Daniel, Stone, German, Mclean, White
Goebel, Bacon, Morgan, Bailey McMil-
Ian, Taggert, Dockery, Vest, Cockrell
McGraw, Sewell, De Almond, Danforth
and others rank with Whitney, Bayard,
Carlisle, Turner and David b. Hill, the
giants mentioned by the Observer, though
that paper GERS in CHASING the last two
with the boilers, they having heard and
needed the admonition ''abide i'll the
ship" while Cleveland, Carlisle AMI
Whitney were scuttling it.
There is no doubt that in 1896 some
very able men followed Cleveland in his
bolt. Bayard and Carlisle were men OF
the highest order of abb ity. Tie list
was as pure as he was great and The
second has the distinction of having ma3e
the ablest speech for free coinage and the
ablest against it, As for the rest, most
of the brainy men Of those who boltcd
did so because of their misplaced faith
in Cleveland. Since 1896 they have
seen their mistake and most If them
have returned to their party and Will
lend it henceforth the benefit of their
influence. The party needs tnam and
they need the association Of Democrats
after filling themselves with the husks
found with the Hanna swine. For
every man of the Whitney and Carlisle
type Democracy lost, it gained many
men of the type of Teller, Dubois, Petit
grew and Towne.
The Democracy in 1900 has a great
fight to wage to wrest the country from
the money trust, the industrial trusts,
and imperialists. 1t needs brains and
character to successfully wage that great
conflict. We have filth that the Iarty
will call its ablest man to iead, AMI
that it will put i'll the lead as able
statesmen and politicians as have led
the party since Jeffers N 6 day. 1t has
them now as OF yore and the voters will
follow where they lead Cleveland
didn't carry all the brains ont Of the
party Most of what lie carri ID vas
rocks and ayordupois.

THE LATE DR.. sANDERLIN.

The death of DIR. George W. Sander
lin was not unexpected. He has been n
great sufferer since 1895, gradually grow
ing weaker and weaker. Many will hear
of his death with sincere regret, for he
had many friends in all parts off the
State. lie was rarely gifted and made
reputation in leading American pulpicss
until his health compelled his Retirement.
He lived then ON the farm for years ann
except in many valuable and interesting
articles on farming was withdrawn from,
public life In 1888 he was nominated
by the Democrats for State Auditor
made Il brilliant and popular canvass tf
the State and added much to the strength
Of the successful ticket. In 1892 he was
a candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor and received a very
complimentary vote. oIn that campaign
he spoke in every section OF the State
with telling effect. After MIR. Cleveland
election, DIR. SandeIffn was appointed
Deputy Third Auditor of the Treasury
and held that position until his health
failed. He was an honest and faithful
public otntFal, and by his courtesy and
cleverness made lliends with all with
whom he came in contact.
AS a boy DR. Sanderlin left college
to become a soldier and no young man
was more gallant. He won promotion
for Signal bravery and in 1888 when he
first came into politics his honorable re-
cord in 1876 won support wherever
the ex-Confederates were strong. He

know that any one entertained a doubt
as to the identity of a pole-cat. The

NEGRO THEIR ONLY HOPE.
Durham Herald.

We cannot find it in our hearts TO
blame a Republican for fighting the
amendment-tha is if he expects to re-
main a Republican. The elimination of
the negro from politics may some day
result in division of the white people
on political questions, but we do not
believe it will occur in this generation.
Consequently the negro vote is all that
the Republicans have to tie to and we
do not blame them for sticking closer
than Il brother.

Gem Now Ride.
DETROIT, July IA, -"Three-cent fares"
are announced today on the fronts of De-
troit street ears in the places where
amusement advertising signs are USUALLY
carried. This sudden voluntary reduction
is the result of decision of Gov. Pingree
and Tom l.. johnson to give the people
an object lesson upon what thew NAV
look forward to if present plans for the
sale of all the Detroit street railways to
the Detroit Municipal Railway corn-
pany," in behalf OF the city, win out. The
three-cent tickets sold today at five for
Is cents, are so worded that their use in
full payment of fare can be withdrawn at
any time.
The city is in a furor over the present
situation. All newspapers and nearly all
of the prominent citizens are opposing the
Pfngree plan, and 1t is now claimed that
the majority of citizens oppose 1t on the
ground that three-cent fares and quasi
municipal ownership will fail to nav tho
expenses and the $17,0000 900 proposed to
be paid for the roads, and that thew will.
If purchased, revert to the present own
ers. In the latter event, the roads would
be operated under the security ordinance
already passed by the council which per-
m1tS operation of all the roads at six for
quarter fares for from thirty to forty-
eight years.
The Pingree people claim that the roads
Will certainly pay off their purchase price
under three-cent fares. Gov. Pingree is
having circulars distributed on the streets
giving his side of the controversy. A
special meeting of the city council is
called for this afternoon. at which a
working ordinance" is expected to be
passed, granting the municipal company
rights as to operation of the roads. This
ordinance reserves to the city the right
at any time to fix the rate of fare. said
rate meanwhile to be cents, with uni
versal transfers. Mayor Maybury will
veto both ordinances, and the question is
whether the Pingree people can secure
passage of both over the votoes.
