NO FEDERAL MARsHALs.
There Is No Law for United States Officers at
Elections.

In view of the arrest of registrar
in Winston yesterday, by a Federal
Marshal, on complaint of a negro, the
following letter, recently written for
the Wilmington Messenger by Mr.. f.
S. Martin, one of the ablest lawyers
in the State, will be read with inter
est:
Prior to the election held in this State
in 1898, l had occasion to carefully ex-
anime all the statutes of the United
States relating to the elective franchise
and found that all statutes, providing
for the appointment of supervisors of
election and deputy marshals, defining
their duties, ETC., were repealed by the
act of Congress of February, 1894 And
] have no doubt that. if any such statutes
had then been in force, supervisors and
marshals would have been appointed for
that election, especially as representa-
tives to Congress were elected at the same
time.
Since the publication of the interview
with Hon. r. M. Simmons, chairman of
the Democratic State executive COM
mittee in which he denounces the threats
of Republicans to have United States
deputy marshals at the polls and to ar
rest registrars, ETC., l have again ex-
amined the statutes of the United States
on that subject and the decisions of the
Supreme court of the United States con-
STRUNG and applying the same and fully
concur with Mr.. Simmons in the opinion
that all statutes. authorizing or providing
for, the appointment of supervisors and
deputy marshals for election, have been
repealed as stated above by the act of
February, 1894, and have not since been
re-enacted.
| will state further that even while
those statutes were in force they never
applied to purely State elections, that
is to say elections for State and county
officers or other State matters, for in
stance, an amendment to the State Con-
stitution.
In the case of Elk PARTE Sebold 100
U. S. 371, on page 1912, the Supreme court
of the United States say, in constructing
those statutes then in force: I'm what
we have said it must be remembered that
we are dealing only with the subject Of
the election of representatives, Congress
If for it's own convenience a State sees
fit to elect State and county officers at
the same time and in conjunction with
the election of representatives, Congress
will not be thereby deprived of the right
to make regulations in reference to the
LATTER. WE DO NOT MEAN TO SAY,
HOWEVER. THAT FOR ANY ACTS OF
THE OFFICERS OF ELECTION HAVING
EXCLUSIVE REFERENCE TO THE
ELECTION OF STATE OR COUNTY
OFFICERS THEY WILL BE AMENA-
BILE TO FEDERAL JURISDICTION;
NOR DO WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE
ENACTMENTS OF CONGRESS NOW
UNDER CONSIDERATION HAVE ANY
APPLICATION TO SUCH ACTS" (Capi-
tails are mine.)
The repeal of the statutes, however,
settles the question. e. S. MARTIN.

WHAT OUR FLAG STANDS FOR.

Wherever the American flag is raised
in token of sovereignty it stands for lib
erty, independence and equality. What
our flag is to the nation, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is to the individual, in
asmuch as it not only gives you freedom
from your ailments, but protects your
system in such manner that they can
not return. When your stomach gets out
of order, causing you to belch afr eat
ing, or when you are so nervous that
you toss about all night, unable to sleep,
you should certainly try it, because it
will strengthen your stomach, steady your
nerves, and induce sound healthy sleep,
and for indigestion, constipation and bill
iousness there is nothing to equal it.
rheumatism is also counteracted by its
direct action on the kidneys

What does it profit woman II she gain
the whole world Of knowledge and lose
her own health? Young women students,
and school teachers, eager, ambitious.
and full Of energy, very often neglect their
health in the struggle to gain education.
They eat insufficient food, and at irregu.
lar hours, they allow i,regularitv OF the
womanly functions to be established, and
the result Is that they become chronic in.
valids with all their education practically
worthless. There is plain road back to
health FIR such as these, marked by the
feet Of thousands. 1t is the use OF DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for dis.
eases OF the stomach and digestive and
nutritive organs, and DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription for diseases OF the delicate
organs Of womanhood. A cure so Ger.
tainly follows the use OF these remedies
that out OF hundreds OF thousands who
have tried the treatment, ninety.eight in
every hundred have been perfectly and
permanently cured. Constipation, with
its calamtous consequences, which is
common ailment OF students, can be en-
tirely cured by the use OF DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.

A WORD OF WARNING.

The Argonaut is republican paper,
and it will Loyalty support the republican
party's stand on the Philippines when
the republican party declares itself. Up
to date there has been no such declara-
ton. The latest official declaration Of
any national republican body was reso-
luton passed by the United States senate
the day when, by the casting vote OF
Vice-President Hobart. it reluctantly APP
proved the treaty with Spain. In that
resolution the United States senate de-
clared against annexing the Philippines
and demanded that independence be
given to the Philippine people. When
congress meets this month the country
will learn whether the senate still favors
the independence, or whether it has
changed it's views; also, how the house
OF representatives stands. Until then
the question is unsettled, as far as the
republican party is concerned.
If our party in congi ess-both houses
being OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES against Phil
ippine independence, the Argonaut will
support the party in its stand. We have
opposed the forcible annexation OF the
Philippines on two purely material
grounds-that we believe it to be bad
business and bad politics. Ethical
grounds cut little figure in the last decade
of the nineteenth century. We have
considered 1t bad business because it will
cost many millions to reconstruct the
islands. The cost OF the little war there
will be but bagatelle compared to the
task which follows the war. We have
considered it bad politics because we
firmly believe tn it will endanger the
success OF the republican party in the
year nineteen hundred. The trades.
unions are declaring agai st expansion.
Workingmen fear annexation, with its
menace to free labor and its menacs to
free trade.
The latest body to declare itself in this
direction is the Knights Of Labor, the
most numerous and most powerful labor
organization in the country. At the
close of their convention in Boston, No.
vember %, they unanimously passed
resolutions condemning the administra-
TONS foreign policy, strongly opposing
Philippine annexation, denouncing Presi-
dent Mckinley "as the bitter enemy of
labor" and "asking organized labor to
use its votes against him and his associ-
ates." Does any sane republican believe
We can carry this country in 1900 with
united labor against us? If so, we do
not. Will the republican party
listen to warning? The Argonaut has
said its say.-San Francisco Argonaut.

In the beginning OF the war in the
Philippines it was current report that
Aguinaldo only had between $4,000 and
$4,000 men in his army. We have kept
tab on Otis reports and heavy losses Of
the enemy given out from his Office and
they foot up $4,000, or 10000 more than
opposed him, and with his 10000 men
the Filipinos are still occupying as much
ground as they did when the war began.
There is something wrong somewhere
and it should be ferreted out and the
remedy applied.-Pomeroy Independent.
