THE FUSION GAME OF FORCE AND
A

The fusionists in office are hard TO

ting and resourceful in lodges! While
Russell and HE followers are planning
to cheat the white men Of North Caro-
lima out of opportunities Of an election
this year, some of the "bobtails," IN
imitation of His Corpulency, are sUriv-
ing and scheming to hang on with a
death grip to the sweet and refreshing
public teat, even in defiance of n

all plans sometimes fail. May it prove

The man or editor who can keep up

In North Carolina must rise early n
sit up late. The plotters against the
people are very Industrious and very
artful. They will retain if possible
full control of state departments II Eff
frontry and assertion and defiance will

the brazen cheek of returning army
mules meet, pass resolutions setting
aside recent legislative action, and in
form the real agricultural board COM
posed Of democrats that they are not in
it, will not be allowed to get in it, but
will be locked out and defed, and that
they, the kicked out, will hold the fort
and do as they please. They will how
ever abide the decision of the supreme
court they believe to be with them in
their defiant and forceful conclusion and
proposed action to make void the act
of the legislature and actually wipe out
from the official records the action of
the regularly elcted democratic board.
These are the tricksters and enemies of
good government and justice who have
manipulated the negroes in the past,
who got in solely by the control of the
Jfgro vote, and who propose now to
'6efy@he will of the people. The demo-
cratic board will not be trifed with,

capades,

The more Justice Clark's lucid, need
ed, convincing opinion in the peniten-
tiary case is regarded the more impor-
tan it is. There is no doubt, We ap-
prehend, of it's correctness, of it's sound
ness. We do not believe it can be an
swered. If the opinion of the supreme
court is to hold good and is sound law
then it is possible for a legislature,
whatever it's political complexion, may,
as Justice Clark affirms, fill places with
officers holding not for four years, bnt ten
years or twenty-five years or fifty
years, or for life, and thus are the
hands of future generations and pre-
vent any betterment-as it attempted
by this act in the mode of administer
ing our great state institutions. Nay,
more, it may elect boards for life and
provide that they may themselves,
from time to time fill vacancies in their
own body a right which would be a
part of their offices, and thus take the
government of the state institutions
entirely out of the hands of the people
who will be )owerless to free them
selves from the body of this death
through future legislatures"
Such a possibility is a mo%nstrosity,
and would be such a grave offence
against the people and so burdened with
wrong and outrage as to provoke a rev.
clution soon or late. Nothing is sound
er or safer than as Justice Clark says
that "the theory of all free government
is that the people are to administer
their own affairs in their own way.
No legislature elected for two years can
pass any act whatever which is not re-
vocable by a future legislature and this
is as true when it creates an Office as in
any other case" Read again Judge
Clark's opinion if you would have the
only safe and proper view.

The Government Crop Report

Washington, April 25.-The weekly
crop report Of the weather bureau is
sued today says: On the whole, the
weather conditions Of the week ending
April Gath, 1899, were generally less ia
vorable than those of the preceding
week. Very favorable conditions are
reported from the west gulf states and
generally to the eastward Of the Mis-
sissippi river. Frosts were more or
less injurious to fruit and tender vege-
tation in the Rocky mountain districts.
Continued improvement Is generally
reported in the condition of winter
wheat; much of the crop, however, has
been winter killed, especially in south
ern Iowa, and owe northern portions
of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and north
western Ohio, except in southern Cali
fornia, and in the upper San Joaquin
valley. The outlook for wheat in the
Pacific coast states continues promis-
ing, an improved condition being re-
ported from Washington.
Cotton planting is now general over
the northern portion of the cotton re-
gion, except in Oklahoma and northern
Texas, where it has been delayed by
wet weather, and is we'll advanced in
the GENITAL portion. In southern Tex
as, it is coming up to good stands, ex-
cept in localities, and chopping is gen.

ward to the bureau all applications for
relief from innocent holders of cigars
stamped with counterfeit stamps and
from Jacobs, the Lancaster.

rested by secret service officials. Il is
probable that innocent dealers who
nave actually paid for the cigars will
DE permitted to retain them on condi-

not paid for will be sold and the pro-

There was naturally much interest
today in the developments as 10 the

cratic members. j. c.. l.. Harris, who Is
officiating chairman OF the fusionists,
said last Friday there was no move
ment to hold over. Now he says he
had to conceal the fusion scent? and
adds that he desired the ~fusiontsts

tiary) case they fell in line with him.
Yesterday State Treasurer Worth
called on Attorney General Walser and
told the latter he wanted him to hurry
up with his opinion as to dispensar1es.
Worth had made the bad mistake OF
making a ruling himself that dispen-
saries could not make any sales ex-
cept upon prescription of n physician.
The attorney general told him OF this
very plainly and today the attorney
general says that Worth's opinion is
not official; is OF no value in fact;
that Worth is not authorized to give
an opinion; hat no question is raised
as to the matter and that there has
SO far arisen no occasion for an opin-
ion. This means that the dispensaries
can go ahead as heretofore, unless some
suit is brought. The solicitor OF this
district says that the law, IL 1t be law,
in regard to sale only upon prescrip-
ton, will not hold water, and was not
intended 10 mean any such thing.
