men as Revs. Dr. Hoge, Blackwell,
Tyer. of the Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist churches, and it is equally
we'll known that no killing of ne
groes for political purposes" would
have received an apology or defense
from them.
In view of the statements of Re-
publican orators. it is well To give a
clear-cut and concise review of the
Wilmington Revolution, so chat the
voters may all know the truth and
understand why the representatives
of the people felt called upon to sub
nit a Constitutional Amendment that
would forever make a recurrence of
the Wilmington Revolution unneces-
sary and impossible.
We publish today from the pen of
Mr. Iredell Meares, of the Whining
ton bar, a review of the true cause )
that led to it. Mr.. Meares was men,
Der of the Democratic Campaign
Committee and also member of the
Committee of Twenty Five which
revolutionized the government He,
therefore, is peculiarly well qualified
to give the history of the Revolution.

RAY COULDN'T ANSWER.

While speaking in the House few
days ago, defending the Republican
party upon the charge that it is the
friend of trusts, Mr.. Ray, of New
York. said that the Republican plat
forms. state and national, had con-
demned trusts when illegal or OPP
pressive." Mr.. Kitchin foored the
New Yorker as this dialogue shows:
Mr.. Kitchin. Let me ask you one
more question about the platforms.
If your people are opposed to trusts,
why is is that they put plank in the
platform of 1888 against trusts, and
a plank in the platform of 1892
against trusts, but in the platform of
1896 your people deliberately left out
any reference to trusts.
Mr.. Ray, of New York. Well. do
not know why they left it out.
was not there. Perhaps they forgot
it. and perhaps
Mr. Kitchin. No, they did not for
get it.
Mr. Ray, of New York. | do not
know why that was, if it was 50, IN
that particular year, but in almost
every year the Republican platform
has contained a declaration against
oppressive trusts and monopolies."

HUMAN NATURE THE SAME.

A late issue of the Daily Hampshire
Gazette, a New England Republican
paper. contains this paragraph:
1.-The lynching of Il negro in Colo
RADIO shows that the people there are
not much different from the people OF
the South. Under similar conditions
mankind behaves about the same
everywhere"
This extract was sent us by a
thoughtful gentleman, who has spent
much time in the South, from MaSsa-
chusetts. He is wise man and man
whose views are formed from long
knowledge of men of both sections
In "a private letter he says:
Il inclose this candid admission from
a New England Republican paper;
showing that even the Yankees are
open to conviction.

municated to the Russian government
and favorably acted on. The transfer

Russia seven millions of dollars for
her naval demonstration in 1868. |
merely tell the story as | heard it.
ION the same line, it seemed to me
that the cessiOn of the sovereignty
of the Philippine islands was merely
to cover the payment of twenty mil
lions of dollars to Spain in order to
sustain the Spanish ministry and Sc
cure an acquiesence in the treaty of
Paris we had extorted from the Span
ish commissioners. The money was
needed by Spain. and we were wiling
to provide it. We took SPANS ces-
sion of sovereignty as a cover"
These statements and suggestions
ought to cause those Anglo-maniacs
who have not been able to find lam
guage of gratitude sufficient to thank
England for its supposed assistance
in the war with Spain, to do
a little thinking. England is the
friend of no country, now, in the past
or the future-eXcept where it pays.
When England saw America about to
plunge into a policy of colonalsm
she gladly gave encouragement in
order to get an ally to help in her
hand gra bling policy in the East,
There was not Il. moment during that
war that England would not have turn
against us if it had been England S
interest to do so. All this fulsome
praise of England is ''slopping over"
and ought not to be INDUCED in by
men who know the Il. b. c's of Eng
lands attitude to this and other
countries.

TALKING POLITICS"

Rev. DR.. Albion w. Small, of the
Chicago University, and President
Shearer. of Davidson College. are in
danger of being denonced by the lit
tie Republican penny-a-linners and
ranters who are devoting all their
time to trying to restore Negro Rule
in North Carolina and make it perma-
nent.
Wake Forest College, DR.. Small. with
out referring to the constitutional
Amendment in words, said:
"One week ago at my table in Chi
cago there sat down ;tt dinner with
us two Federal soldiers and the chap
lain of the University of Chicago.
One of the soldiers. after discussing
problems in the South, said with EN-
pIasis: 1T was the most colossal
blunder of the North to dump down
on our Southern brethen thousands
of men wholly unprepared for suf-
frage." Each of the men agreed to
this statement. Ten years ago such
Il statement would have been regard
tu do HcIcSN.
You understand the conditions
here. Henry Caleb Lodge is not dead
but he is not the whole North We
cannot give you any lesson in poll
ties any longer.
OF course the reference to Henry
Cabot Lodge was equivalent to oppo-
sition to the Farce bill, and IA rebuke
of such methods of legislation.
DR.. Small did not stop there. He went
on to say that the North had come
to the conclusion that the people of
the South were best fitted to settle
the questions that are peculiar to the
Sc1th. and to save themselves from
those ''unprepared for suffrage" Now,
of course, these little whipper-snap-
pers will go about and say he was
''dcsecrating commencement coca
sion" DR.. Small was speaking in IL
broad way upon the evils of wholesale
negro voting put upon the South as u
result of war and he endorsed the
statement that it was the most colos-
sal blundcr.' There was no politics
in it except to the small bore minds
that dccry anybody that opposes in
competent negro rule.

ENCOURAGEMENT UPON STATES
RIGHTS.

The Congressional Record of May
31st, contains the full text of the
able and interesting speech made
some weeks ago in Congress by Hon.
John III. Small, member of the House
from the First district, in favor of the
election of senators by the people. 1t
is excellent throughout, but we can
make room for only one striking
statement:
1.-The encroachment of the Federal
government upon the State govern
ments has been so gradual and insid
ious that it is difficult to point to any
specific act which has caused the
change from the relationship the
States bore to the nation half IL cen
fury ago. That there has been
change all thinking men must admit.
The States today are in some respects
possessed of less government author
ity than are the municipal govern
mcnts brought into existence by the
legislation of the States. In the case
of Railroad Company VS.. Husen the
United States Supreme Court held
that the statute of the State of Mis-
souri, prohibiting the transportation
of Cherokee cattle across the State
was unconstitutional as regulation
of commerce. although, city ordi-
nance to the same effect has been up
held as a proper exercise of the po-
lice power.
In Chylung vs.. Freeman the
United States Supreme Court held a
California statute unconstitutional
which prohibited the importation of
vicious Chinese. The States have not
as wide a police power as have the
cities. In no State of the Union can
the governor of IA State send the mi
litia to county without being called
upon by the county officials. The
Federal Government has asserted its
right to send its troops to quell a
riot in Il State against the protest of
the government who claims that his
militia is sufficient. y sheriff of d
county has therefore more executive
authority over his county than the
governor of a State has over his State.
Other instances might be given where
the State governments have been
shOrn of their power by the different
branches of the Federal Government

be after DR.. Shearer, president of
Davidson College, who in his introduce
ton of Hon. John ID. Bethany. as COM
mencement orator last week. spoke in
praise of him and the good people
of his section who had thrown off
the yoke of negro rule. Some negro
lover will be criticising DR.. Shearer
pretty soon for ''desecrating com
mencement occasion for his COM
mendation Of the brave men of New
Hanover. These little fellows, led by
the revenue officers, are SO devoted
to negro suffrage that if n man says
the negro has stood in the way of in
tellectual freedom and progress. they
are ready at once to cry out 'he is
talking politics.
Why is it that no man can discuss
the negro question in any phase with
out saying the negroes all ought to
vote without its being charged you
are talking politics." The reason is

government and the solution of race

The World Doesn't Want Dreamers

The first requirement of the college

his charming June Success, is power.

or how much talent you have; if you can
not transmute your requirements into
practical power, you will be failure
This is a very hard, practical common

Country Boys Have Best Chance.

ITO my mind says John d. Rookie
Teller in Success" for June, there is
something unfortunate in being born in a
city. Most young men raised in New
York and other large centers have not had
the struggles which come to us who we're
reared in the country. 1t is a noticeable
fact that the country men are crowding
out the city fellows who have wealthy
fathers. They are willing to do more
work and to go through more for the
sake of winning success in the end. Sons
of wealthy parents haven't a ghost of a
show in competition with the fellows who
come from the country with a determine
ton TO do something in the world.

The College Man in Business,

1t is said that Horace Greeley once
posted on his outer office door this notice:
mo Harvard or Yale graduate, or other
horned cattle. wanted here" However
absurd OF amusing these words may
sound il is undoubtedly true that in
many business circles there is still con-
siderable opposition to what may be call
ed the college movement in America.
That this opposition is not universal,
however. is evident from the large endow-
ments of our higher institutions Of learn
ing by thoughtful men of the business
world.

THE WILMINGTON REVOLUTION.

The Wilmington Revolution, coming
after the election. as the result of "a
strained relation between the races
due to the intolerable government
imposed on Wilmington by the ne
groes and their allies. may be said
to have caused the submission of the
pending Constitutional Amendment.
Recently Senator Pritchard. Spen-
Ger Blackburn and the rest of the Re
publican orators have been telling
the people of North Carolina that the
Wilmington resolution was nothing
but the killing of negroes for poiltl-
cad purposes''-a foul SANDER upon
the good people of our principal elty.

COMPLETION OF THE GREATER
SEABOARD AIR LINE.

The people of North Carolina have
one distinguishing characteristic.
They believe in fair play, in an open
field in competition. They are OPP
posed to monopoly in all its forms.
1t is because they stand for this doe
trine of fair-play that they have fol-
lowed with interest, sympathy and
support Messrs. Williams, st. John
fight to carry through to completion
their plans to consolidate through
short line from Richmond to Tampa.
Two years ago few people believed that
the Seaboard Air Line could main
tain itself in what seemed the un-
equal fight between those who sought
to unite it with the Southern Railway
system and those who were struggling
to extend the line and maintain it as
an independent system. The move
ment toward monopoly seemed to
have set in so strong that it seemed
hardly probable that the Seaboard
could escape absorption. The history
OF the contest has been one of the most
interesting in the history of railroad
warfare The success of the Williams
syndicate has not oply guaranteed
to the States of Virginia. North Caro-
lima. South Carolina, Georgia. Ala
bama and Florida strong independent
lines, but it has shown that those who
fight against monopoly can win if
they have the cooperation of those
who stand for competition in trans
portation as well as in trade.
The people of Raleigh yesterday
morning gave warm welcome to Mr..
Williams, Mr.. ST. John and their as
sociates who spent three hours in the
city. The people of no city have been
so deeply interested in the success OF
the independent consolidation of Sea-
board roads as in Raleigh, for it was
the only hope for the capital of
North Carolina to secure through
-NOIlA anu tDOulH liilC III 10
borders. Today for the first time
Raleigh is on the through line of a
great railroad system. 1t celebrates
the event with gladness, and looks to
receive new impetus and growth from
this new agency of progress and adj
vancement. The assurance of the
chief officers of the system of i'm
provements to be made in Raleigh is
the first fruit of the consolidation, and
us the States chief city on the Sea-
boards line, Raleigh will receive just
consideration at the hands of the Off
GERS of the Greater Seaboard. AS the
home of the parent line of this system.
Raleigh has only toGay realized the
dream of those who projected and
built the Raleigh and Castor and the
Raleigh and Augusta railroads.
Though long delayed, the completion
comes at the period of Raleighs most
progressive era. and the News and
Observer hopes to see the new railroad
inauguration likewise inaugurate Raj
eigh's most prosperous decade.
