In supreme moment, in the de-
bates leading to the French revolu-
ton, there was pause and it seemed
that the wheel was turning back ward.
1t was then old Barbcreu1-the dele
gate from Marseilles arose and shout
ed, Send to Marseilles for hundred
men who know how to die"
They sent and the six hundred
started for the gay city, chanting the
notes OF the soul-inspiring Marscilles
hymn. And as they came others
joined them, until there were half a
million men laundering at the gates
of Paris. And the revolution went
forward. Scarce one hundred repre-
sentatives of the white men and wo-
men in North Carolina sit in this
chamber. Small band to hold the
destinies of so grand people. Let
us here, and now, raise the hymn of
our redemption, and as we fight for
the glory OF our manhood and woman
hood and the guardian OF our Com
monwealth, others will catch the cry
and two hundred thousand sovereigns
will proclaim in the coming election
the absolute freedom of our State.
This is the day to take the measure
of men. The true son of North Caro-
lima must not fail her in this hour
Let not this revolution fail. We must
go forward. In the name of the fair
women of North Carolina, who have
sat at home covering with fear while
you and | were away earning the
morsel of bread, l appeal to you

Since we have printed this amend

length. We believe it will bring us
into freedom in which much can be
done for the common good that has

their bidding-not on the campaign,
but after it had stirred their souls
with a bitterness that set them deter

MUST STAND OR FALL AS A
WHOLE,

The Legislature thought the right
to participate in government should
be limited to those who had some
training, and that the test of this
should be knowledge obtained by,,what
we ordinarily call education, or by
experience. 1t said that men who
could read and write were qualified,
and it also said that those who could
not read and write, but who by them
selves or through their ancestors had
besn in the habit of participating in
government were equally well quail
fed, and that the two would consti-
tute the electorate Of the State.
1t is one system, one plan, is passed
as whole, and ratified as whole.
1t is matter of public history that
the Legislature would not have passed
the amendment without the section,
and if this is admitted the rule we
have invoked shows that the different
parts of the amendment must fall or
stand together.-Judge Allen.

WILL HELP EDUCATION.

Its adoption will stimulate educa-
ton. With it peace and safety will
prevail in the east as in the west.
Many distractions will be removed
from the discussions of national ques-
tions. Honest believers in the prin-
ciples of their national platforms
should be willing to leave their fate
in this State to those who will vote
under it.
Many negroes will not be, but it is
estimated that 25, 900 will be qualified
to vote under it. Under it no man
who or whose ancestor could vote
prior to 1867 will fail to vote on ac-
count of not being able to read and
write. A few foreign-born white men,
unlettered in our language, will not
be benefited by section 5. Section 5
will benefit few unlettered negroes
who or whose ancestors could vote in
this State prior to our constitution
of 1885, or in Wisconsin, Massachu-
setts and other States in 1S66-W.

THE PASSING OF THE NEGRO IN
POLITICS WHITE MEN WILL
RULE.
The white people of North Carolina
will never again submit to negro
domination, nor that the negro shall
rule the white man in any part of
this State.
This was the irrevocable decree of
Novemb ber Sth. 1898. For this reason
the epublican party can never hope
to regain control in North Carolina,
so long as it continues under present
infiunces. for it is manifest that so
long as it SO continues negro domina-
ton in certain parts of the State will
inevitably follow it's success, and the
influence of the negro in politics will
of necessity be exerted and felt in
every part of the State. II is futile for
Republicans to longer deny that their
party in North Carolina is controlled
by the negro and government by it is
necessarily government under negro
infiuence.-F. NJ. Simmons.

GRADY'S PREDICTION.
''If the balmy South does not real
ize to the full the possibilities pre-
dictea for it by the late brilliant
Georgian, Henry W. Grady, it will be
its own fault.
The climate is such as to allow
long outdoor work, free from rigor-
Gus weather, and working in the mill
and factory free from much of the ex-
pense of heating and building Incl
dent TO the harsh climate of Northern
and Eastern States. The very rich
ness of its resources entails a greater
responsibility upon its people, and if
the richest results are not attained
from these resources it must neces-
sarily be on account of the poverty
Of effort put forward by its own
people. And l do not believe, from
the history Of these people since
the Civil War, that any man will have
a right to accuse them of lack of hon
est and effective efforts"

ment requiring property qualifica-
ton. A man does not have to own
$500 worth of property to vote. 1t
makes no difference whether he has
a dollars worth or not. II he or any
of his forefathers was a voter in 1867,

so.-E. G. Beddingfield.

WILL BE ADOPTED.

The amendment will be adopted, and
adopted by the biggest majority that
has been seen in North Carolina for
many day. 1t will be adopted by
the votes of white men of all parties.

men who are Populists, as we'll as

Of the amendment is adopted,
will the negro be allowed to vote?
A.-Only such negroes will be al
lowed to vote as can read and write,
or such as are descended from those
negroes who could vote prior to the
Constitution Of 1885, or who have
come from States where negroes could
vote before 1867.
Q.-Will the amendment disfran-
chise the uneducated whites?
A.-Certainly not. Under it any
white man who could vote at any time
before 1867, or whose ancestors (that
is, his father, grandfather. great
grandfather, etc., could vote at any
time before 1867, can register
whether be can read and write or not
any time before 1908, and will always
thereafter be entitled to vote. This
lets in every white man and Croatan,
however lacking in education, who
has not been convicted of an infamous
crime.
Q.-Why this difference between
the white man and negro?
A.-Why, bless your soul, it is a
matter of natural understanding and
capacity. The white man has more
sense and capacity than the negro,
and inherently understands the duties
and responsibilities of suffrage and
citizenship better than the negro; and
the Democratic party holds that the
uneducated white man can be trusted
to cast a more intelligent vote than
an educated negro. That is what
white Democrats believe, whether
white Republicans believe it or not.

This is a measure justified on the
highest grounds with the Chinese ex-
clusion act. These almond-eyed gentle
children of the flowered kingdom were
not desirable citizens as they come
here with the animus revertendi.
Amalgamation was inexpedient and
elevation impossible. They degraded
manhood and decreased the scale of
American labor. The great West
prayed for relief; the prayer was an
swered and nation with literature
as old as the pyramids and sublime
code of morals was shut out. Was it
right? The world says it was, for
public policy demanded it. The igno-
rant negroe degrades the franchise
and decreases the scale of American
manhood. His suspension, till quail
fed is justified on the same high
ground of public policy. 1t is against
public policy to commit murder;
therefore the criminal forfeits his life.
1t is against it to steal; the thief is
deprived of his liberty. And it is
against public policy for the ignorant
negro to vote, therefore suspend
him.-A. d. Cowles, (Rep.)

A wedding in which Salt Lake So
ciety was deeply interested occurred
last evening 1t was that of Miss June
Sadler and William H. Donneu.
The wedding took place at the brides
home and was one of the brilliant
events of the autumn season, nearly 500

Embedded in green and the piano was
effectively arranged with candelabra
and white carnations. The rear parlor

a profusion of Virginia ereeper and
white flowers. The hall was entirely in
green The stairway was almost hid
den beneath wealth of vines, which
were twined artistically through the
banisters and fastened to the newell
posts with broad satin streamers.
The dining room was also in green
and white. The table was covered
bride roses and maiden hair fern. From
the corners of the table extended gar
lands of smilax to the chandelier where
they were fastened with a large bou-
quet of roses and ferns.

WHY TEDDY CAME WEST.
New York News.l


According to the most authentic in
formation received at Republican head
quarters in this-city, there is a serious
difference of opinion between the pres
ident and the boss Hanna himself
says nothing about it, and no one. not
even Cornelius n. Bliss, dares ask him.
Rumors from Canton of a vague ma
ture say that Mckinley is piqued at
Hanna's conduct of the campaign, and
that he has actually refused TO make
any speeches unless he is permitted to
outline his own policy. 1t is explained
that Hanna's desire to lay down the
policy of the party, to give his under
lingS a text, as 1T were, was responsible
for his hurry in going on the stump
Hanna had his own ideas about the
trust question. He tried to force them
on Roosevelt, but the impetuous gov
ernor would not listen TO him. You
must meet their talk about the trusts
boldly" said Hanna. Strike back from
the shoulder. Tell 'em there are no
trusts and that trusts can't be made
an issue. Tell 'em silver and gold is
the ISSUE
But Roosevelt wouldn't consent. and
Hanna instructed the national COM
mittee TO fix up an itinerary for him
that would keep him out in Colorado
and Wyoming, Utah and Idaho.
Next he tackled the president, end
found to his discontinue that the pres
ident disagreed with his policy. The
president didn't feel like telling audi
ences, as Hanna himself did. that there
were no trusts, or at least that there
were no bad trusts, when he and every
one else knew better He told Hanna.
he preferred to admit that there were
trusts, and that the trusts were in
juring the people, and that the Repub-
lican party would devise means to curb
their power.
The president spoke from the point
of view of the politician. Hanna spoke
as a campaign fund collector.
What" he probably exclaimed Tell
the trusts you are going to legislate
against them? What sort of a recep-
ton viii get, do you think, when L so
to them for money to elect you?''
This was the thought uppermOSt in
Hanna mind but Mckinley couldn't
see it in the same light. Not having
been compelled to raise the corruption
fund of 1896. he did not realize just how
much he and his party owed to the
trusts But Hanna did. and that is
why he wants the spellbinders to come
out boldly and shout there are no
( trusts.
Lest the public might learn there was
a difference of opinion between the
president and himself. Hanna lost no
time in Dromulgating his doctrine If
he didn't please the president he pleas
ed the trusts at any rate. and made
his own work as campaign collector
much easier. He also forced his doc
trine upon the party and left Mckinley
in the unpleasant position of remain
ing silent at Canton or copying Han
mas policy.
That is the situation at present.

ADJUSTMENTS

"a Great Obstacle" Clement &
Stockwells adaptation of Charles Dick
ems and wfIxie Collins mo Thorough
fare" was presented at the Salt Lake
theater last night. Mr.. Clement as
Jules Obenreiser was at his best The
character is a difficult one to delineate,
but Mr.. Clement was equal to the task,
even to the most minute details. Mr..
StockWell as Joey Ladle made a hit
indeed No actor could have excelled
him in his portrayal of the character.
Mrs. Clay Clement as Marguerite was
excellent, as was also Miss Alice Lon
non as Sarah Goldstraw. Mr.. George
Garfield as George Vendole was very
good. The acting of II. c.. Lonsdale,
as Walter WildinS, and Charles King
as Mr.. Bintry, also deserves special
mention. If the play vas not exciting
enough or emotional enough the blame
must be placed upon Messrs. Dickens
and Collins, for it cannot be placed on
the actors. Tonight the company will
present for the first time in Salt Lake
"A Southern Gentleman" This play is
from the pen of Mr.. Clement and is
highly spoken of by the critics. The
New Dominion will be given in a Fri
day matinee.
