Complaints in reference to the mie-
management Of local municipal AFFAIRS
are useless at this time. The citizen
who is not satisfied with police work
and other features Of the present ad-
ministration can always find remedy
at the primaries and the polls unless
the law and order loving element is de-
cidedly in the minority in Scranton
This We do not believe is the case.

Lrvity aside much is to be said for
the movement, begun in Illinois, to
discourage tho use of pictures of
women in advertisements. The grow
ing tendency toward the display in
this manner of feminine charms, even
when not wantonly lcwd in suggestion
is at best cheap and vulgar and self
respecting women have a right to re-
sent it. one cannot pick UP a paper
or IA magazine nowadays without en-
cOuntorinG from one TO dozen repre-
sentations of the female figure used to
lure the eye to various kinds of trade
announcements. When i'm addition, as
frequently happens, the reading pages
are given over TO a corresponding eX-
ploitation Of anatomy and scandal It
is hardly TO be wondered at that the
impression made upon immature minds
is the reverse of elevating. There is
need of a public sentiment In cOrrec-
ton Of this evil.

The Nicaragua canal bill is expected
to come up in the house next week
and already there are predictions that
it will not pass. These predictions
cOnCede that majority, and a large
majority, of the representatives in con-
gress favor the construction of the
canal but il is asserted that divisions
of opinion as to methods are irrecon-
cilable in the short time remaining in
this session. Congress, it will be re-
membered, has less than month 20
live and in this time the appropriation
bills not yet acted upon will have to
be passed, together with some other
legislation of an important character,
such, for example, as the census bill,
which is a special order for Monday.
These predictions should be disap-
pointed. If compromise is necessary
let the house make it as the senate did
and yield in non essentials rather than
cause another postpOnement. The sen.
ate bill presents workable basis.
Under this bill the rights of existing
concessionaires are appraised and
bought in, and the canal is built nom
inally by a corporation but practically
by the United States government itself.
The corporation is to continue to be
known as the Maritime Canal company
and it's capital stock is TO consist of
100000 shares of 800 each. When
every outstanding obligation is cam
celed the secretary of the treasury is
authorized to subscribe for $4,000
shares of stock, following which a new
board of seven directors is to take
the management of the enterprise, If
whom five are to be named by the
president of the United States and one
each by the governments of Costa Rlca
and Nicaragua.
This, it will be perceived, constitutes
virtual ownership and control by the
United States government. The senate
bill provides that the president of the
United States shall at his option fore
close on the property of the company
in satisfaction of the lien of the United
States for money advanced; and stipu-
lates that while the canal Is to be neu-
tral the right to protect it against in
terruptions of business between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the
United States is reserved. In other
words, in the event OF war no enemy
| is to use the canal to our disadvantage
| If the house can unite on a better biz
well and good; but if not it should
accept this rather than throw the mac
| ter over to the next congress. The
| Nicaragua canal is a necessity which
| cannot be provided for too soon.

HOW THE TRUSTS OPERATE.

The Southern Tobacco journal calls
attention to the fact that in the testl-
mony of Mr.. Il. G. Evans, of Louisville.
Ky, founder of the Tobacco Workers
international Union, before the Indus
trial Commission, he said that about So
per cent of the tobacco manufactured
in the United States was produced by
the two companies known as the Amcri-
can and the Continental companies, and
he expressed the opinion that sIdh com
bines was not beneficial to labor. lie
cited an instance in which three mand-
factories had been absorbed by the AM
eriean company, resulting in throwing
800 or 600 employees out of work. In
another case wages had been reduced
from $3.50 to S1.25 per day after the
consolidation.

LINING UP AGAINST THE AMENDMENT.

Senator Butler waited until he was
licensed to practice law before he an
nomced his discovery that section five
of the constitutional amendment was
CLEARLY unconstitutional Is this the
result of his ripe legal lore, or was he
afraid he couldn't pass the court if he
gave the opinion before standing for his
license? With few exceptions, we may
office by pandering to the negro vote,
lining up against the amendment They
know that the elimination of the mass
of ignorant negro voters will so purify
the electorate in North Carolina that
they will never again have a chance to
hold office. They cling to the 100000
to the only spar that can possibly save
him.
The amendment was submitted in or
der to bring about better and purer 20
litical conditions in the State. Wien
it is understood, every white man in
the State will support it except those
who want to keep 10000 negro voters
on the books to help them or their party
into power. In 1893 the people rose up
in their might TO restore White SUI
premacy in North Carolina. That vic
tory will be barren in it's results unless
the horde of ignorant voters, whose
votes brought disgrace to the State are
eliminated. If they are to retain the
ballot, we will have another reign or
Russellism every time there is a slight
division among the white voters.
White men who want white rule will
line up for the amendment, and they
will come from all political parties.
White men who want to keep the negro
voter ready to give them an office or
put their party in power will line up
against the amendment.
The issue is simple, clear-cut and
plain--Permanent White Supremacy VS..
Negro Rule. He that is not for us is
against u.s.

THE SEABOARD'S TRAINS.
The New Ones for the FLORIDA Service
Have Been Ordered.

Have Been Ordered.
The Richmond Times has THE follow
ing in regard to the five through trains
which the Seaboard will put on its line:
1T leaked out yesterday that the Sea-
board Air Lime railroad, syndicate, of
which Mr.. john SHELTON Williams is
president, has given out the contract
for the building of four solid Pullman
yestibuled trains. They will be equipped
i'm luxurious style and according to the
most modern ideas. The contract calls
for the delivery of the trains by Jan
uaay /, 1900.
The Pullmans composing these superb
trains Will be run straight through he
tween New York and jacksonville. and
will supplement the service now main
tanned by the Seaboard company.
From New York these trains viii pros
coed south over the Pennsylvania rail-
road as far as Quantico, where they
will take the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac tracks and come on
to Richmond. From here the route will
be over the Richmond, Petersburg and
Carolina to Ridgeway, where they will
take the Seaboard's main line to Cheraw,
S. c., thence proceeding over the line
now building to Columbia. The TRAINS
will go into Jacksonville from Columbia
over the FLORIDA Central and Peninsular.
1t is understood that an arrangement
may be effected whereby the trains will
proceed from Jacksonville to Tampa over
the Plant system.
The link from Cheraw to Columbia.

by January LIST.
These magnificent trains are built to
accommodate tourist travel during the
winter months from the north to tha
southern resorts. They will operate ~
a schedule that will be maintained dur
ing the winter months. There will be
one train each way daily.
The addition of these four pullman
vestibuled trains places the Seaboari
AR Line on an equal footing with the
Southern and Atlantic Coast Lime as
competitors for the tourist patronage
which is constantly increasing.

ITO SHUT OUT IGNORANT NEGROES"

A special from Washington says that
the administration is having some trou-
BILE in fixing upon a plan to give the
Cubans the Republican form of govern
The present plan is to let the cities
try self-government and see how ii
works before trying it in the country
districts and on the whole island. The
special goes on to say:
Before any voting is done there will
probably be some limitations of the
suffrage based upon education and prop
erty. The property qualification for w.
tiers will probably be based upon the
possession of land rather than ON in
comes for the average Cuban income is
likely to be pretty small for several
years to come. Such qualifications
based upon education and property
would put the management of affairs
in the hands of the better class of
Cubans and Spaniards and shut out the
ignorant negroes"
The administration has arranged to
disfranchise all the negroes in Hawaii
and now it is proposed to ''shut out the
ignorant negroes in Cuba" If it is
right to ''shut out ignorant negroes in
Cuba and Hawaii, where they have
not shown their incapacity to govern,
wherein is it unwise or unconstitutional
to 'shut out the ignorant negroes" OF
North Carolina who from 1895 to 1899
made government a disgrace, an insult
