will give too much heed to the requests
of the directors and heads of State in
stitutions. They are naturally and pro-
perly Jealous for the growth of the in
situations with which they are connected,
and in their laudable zeal they press
earnestly for such appropriations as will
enable their institutions to fill the high
ideals they have set to which they should
attain. We would be glad to see all
these institutions given the sums asked
for by their managers We know the
money would be honestly expended but
we believe it to be the duty of the Leg.
islature to consider carefully their needs
and to grant only such as are absolutely
necessary.

WILL PRINT THE EVIDENCE
CAUSE FOR PAUSE.

The Democratic caucus does well to
pause before committing the blunder of
re-instating S. Ohio Wilson as Railroad
Commissioner.
The caucus last night decided to have
all the evidence printed before the mat
ter is considered. This was what Sena
tor Hicks and Mr.. Foushee tried TO Sc
cure when the matter first came up. 1t
ought to be done.
Without rejecting upon the committee,
we do not hesitate to say that its report
as presented ought not to be adopted 1t
would be reflection upon this body
to re-instate S. Otho Wilson.
This is the most delicate and impor.
tant matter before the Legislature.
With hardly an exception the people OF
the State are against the proposition OF
reinstatement We have never known
matter of great public concern upon
which public opinion was so united.

THIS LEGISLATURE CANNOT AF-

Before voting for the resolutions in full,

Commissioner one S. Ohio Wilson for a
term that does not expire until April
LIST. 1901, and vindicate the aforesaid
Wilson, who has not even entered the
plea of nolo contendere.
There are thousands of people in
North Carolina who will question the
wisdom of paying him $4,000 and vindi-
eating a man who was denounced by ev-
cry member of the present General AS
sembly and all other good men in North
Carolina in the last campaign.
1t would be reflection on this Legisla-
ture to reinstate S. Ohio Wilson in an
office for which the Democrats said
four years ago he would show himself
unfit and unworthy.
Is this Legislature ready to vote for
resolutions which practically mean the

S. Ohio Wilson as a bad man for ten
years.

WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
WILL LAY ITSELF OPEN TO
ATTACK SHOULD NO SEPAR-
ATE CAR LAW BE ENACTED.

To the Editor: Should the present
Legislature after passing the franchise
bill adjourn without also passing the
separate car BILL the position of the
Democratic party will be an exceedingly
invidious one 1t will deserve attack
and be dead sure to get its deserts.
The people will naturally and logically
argue this way: This party is pledged
to the establishment of white supremacy
in all of it's bearings. The most inn
portant bearing, the bearing compared
to which all others are but dust III the
balance. is to prohibit everything tend
ing to social equality The mixing up
of the races in railway cars has that
tendency. Nothing more so. But we
find that the little finger of the railways
has more weight in Raleigh than our
whole hand. We find that few paus-
ible railroad men have more influence
than the combined manhood, aye. and
womanhood. of the State. Why work
and toll to sustain Il party that obeyS
not our behests, but those of other men
whose interests run counter to ours;
whose sympathies even on vital ques-
tions like this are not with us?
The Democratic party, or rather its
psuedo-representatives in Raleigh. are
quick enough to pass the franchise bill,
uDon which their tenure of office de-
ponds. Interested motives make them
all energy in dealing with this means
to their political aims. But the ends
and objects for which we strive are as
nothing to them.
Can it be denied that in an argument
like this the people will not have reason
on their side? Can there exist shadow
of a doubt in any legislators mind that
the great body of the people want and
demand separation of the races in rail
way travel? Does not the press of the
State ring with the demand in tireless
reiterationst
Nor will the present makeshift of
bill satisfy the people. There is one
thing that the white manhood of North
Carolina is resolved on. That is to put
a stop to the tendency towards social
equality as forced on them by the short
sighted policy Of the railroads. 1t de-
mands and will have separate accommo-
dation on every passenger train and in
every waiting room in the State. TIE
longer the delay. the more hinderances
thrown in its way. the more drastic will
be the measure when it does come.

The requirements in North Carolina
for license to practice law are among
the lowest in the, Union. In some States
the law requires applicants for license
to practice law to have read law four
years. Many States require three
years and the majority of States two
years reading which was also the law
in North Carolina up to 1868. Since
then this State has fallen to the pres
ent requirement, of only one years read
ing.

ECONOMY THE WATCHWORD-
TAXATION MUST BE RE
,DUCED.

1--WE promise the people economical
in the Democratic platform of 1898.
As a companion piece to that promise,
this paragraph was also inserted in the
platform: I'VE denounce the extrava-
gance of the present Republican State
administration.
With these two declarations as their
texts the Democratic speakers, from the
most eloquent to the most hating of
speech. went to the people and obtained
their support upon the basis of these de-
clarations. The people did not send this
Legislature to Raleigh to practice mig
gardiness or to deny fair compensation
for public service, but it promised a
more economical administration of af-
fairs than was given by 1.-THE present
Republican State administration. That
is the platform pledge as explained and
understood by party orators, party edi-
tors and the rank and file of the party.
This promise must be faithfully carried
out to the very letter, no matter what
seeming necessity tempts the representa-
tives of the people to vote for large ap-
preparations. 1t is better to keep faith
with the people than to do anything else,
however progressive or however good.
We venture TO suggest that the tax
rate ought not to be fixed until the ap-
preparations are all provided for, and
then it ought to be fixed at lower
figure than is the present tax rate. The
Legislature of 1895 fixed the tax levy
as follows:
State-21 2-3c. on the 500:
Pensions-3 1-3c. ON the 500;
Scholastic. on the 800;
making total of forty-three cents on the
one hundred dollars.
The legislature of 1897 increased the
tax rate as follows:
State-22 2-3c. on the 500;
Pensions-3 1-3c. on the 500;
Schools-20c. on the 800;
making total of forty-six cents on the
one hundred dollars. After that Legis-
lature had adjourned. it was found that
the constitutional equation between the
property and the polls had not been main
tanned in the new revenue law, and the
courts set it aside, and thereby re-
stored the revenue law of 1895.
The revenue law now pending in the
House levies the same tax that is levied
in the 1895 act, making no reduction.
1t provides also a tax on the gross earn
ings of railroads that would amount TO
$4,000. Ii that is endorsed, the sur
plus in the State treasury in 1901 would
be a quarter of a million of dollars. The
State Treasurer says that if that tax is
levied reduction of % cents could
be made in the tax rate for State pur-
poses.

OHIO WILSON-THEN AND NOW

In 1895, when s. Otho Wilson was
elected a trustee of the University by
the Fusion Legislature the News and
Observer said:
THE worst blow ever struck the Uni
yersity was the selection of s. Ohio
Wilson as trustee. He is in every
way unfit for the position. and his cleo
ton is reflection upon the institution
and the men who secured his election.
1t is burning shame"
When the same Legislature elected
S. Ohio Wilson Railroad Commissioner
the News and. Observer said:
1.-The election of S. Ohio Wilson
TO succeed Capt L. w. Mason is the
best evidence of the difference be-
tween Democratic and Fusion rule
yet witnessed. Capt Mason is an
honorable heightened, upright gem
tleman and honest official. s. Ohio
Wilson is VIGOROUSLY unfit
The good people of the State applaud
ed these utterances in 1895.
Ohio Wilson has not changed at all
He is the same man now that he was
then.
And yet there are members of the
Legislature elected by Democrats who
are asking that this S. Ohio Wilson bt
reinstated as Railroad Commissioner
If they will impeach Russell, the News
