One can respect an open enemy. Cue can
even learn to become accustomed to the
friend who tells you your faults to your
face and not behind your back. One can
learn to love the man who is kind enough
to tell the bad things about a person, be-
hind the persons back, so that the person
is not conscious of it. But of all the choice
weapons of the eternal enemy there is none
sharper, more cutting or more unpleasant
than the skulking, back alley cowardice,
which holds a plain, honest article up to
the light aud tries to find something "be-
tween the lines"

SENATOR 1ORGAN.

The people of North Carolina owe
debt of gratitude to Senator Nor
gan. of Alabama, for standing I'D and
valiantly defending them in the
United States Senate when our own
Senators were seeking. the one bv
direct attack, and the other bv silent
approval, to defame her fair name and
inJure her constitutional rights. As
our readers know, Senator Pritchard
introduced a resolution in the Senate
declaring that if North Carolina pass
ed the Constitutional amendment
now proposed it would be in con-
travention of the 18th amendment of
the Constitution of the United States,
and would be evidence that a Re-
publican form of government as con-
templated by the Constitution of the
United States did not exist in North
Carolina. He afterwards substituted
Tor TINS resolution one reciting that
any State passing such measure
would thus be described. On this
resolution Senator Morgan addressed
the Senate. Senator Pritchard will
make his speech later on. North
| Carolinians should not be SLOW to ex-
press their gratitude for the efforts in
their behalf of the venerable Aabam-

ABOUT GIVING CREDIT.

1t is small matter, but as small
matters are as easy to get wrong as
more important things, it may as
we'll be noticed. The practice some
newspapers have of taking matter
from other papers without giving
credit, is what we refer to. For in
stance, the item about the number of
tickets sold at the Greensboro pas
senger station, was first published in
the Telegram several DAYS ago. and
now we see it copied close to home
and credit given to a paper in another
town. News stealing is not punish
able like stealing sheep, but the prin-
ciple is the same.-Greens boro Teie-
gram.
The Iciegra.a is not the only paper
that has cause to complain of this
sort of thing. Among some editors
the bodily appropriation and palming
off as their own of the product of
another's brain is a common occur
renee. And if they dc not run an
article as original matter, thus taking
credit for the authorship to them
selves, they persistentlv fail to give
proper credit when used as news or
selected matter. This is not fair to
the writer of such articles and ought
not to be so. The editorials of the
Baltimore Sun and other papers we
closely read are cases in point. We
hold that when an article, editorial or
local. is worth clipping and publish
ing in its original form, it is worth
giving credit for.

SAFETY IN SEPARATION.

The Richmond Times very wisely
and intelligently argues in favor of
the separate car law for the peo
pie of Virginia. 1t also tells of an
incident where drunken negro in
beside white lady, with the con-
sequent result of the negro being re-
moved, and a fight narrowly averted.
The traveller passing on the rail
road through the States of North
Carolina and Virginia will note at
once the difference in behavior of the
colored people of the two States.
In Virginia, the negroes will enter
a car, and force themselves into seats
partially occupied, or if any baggage
is in seat it will be pushed to the
floor, while the negro, male or female,
will take the seat and place their feet
on the bag or clothing that may have
been in the seat.
Entering North Carolina, the
change is at once apparent. The
negro disappears from view, and is
carefully sent to his own car, and
white people travel without the con-
slant disagreeable fear, that at each
stoppage of the train. negro man or
woman may crowd into the same
seat with them, and they be unable
to offer word in protest.
keep the races apart, for therein
lies safety" very sensibly says the
Times.
The change in North Carolina since
the separate car bill went into effect
is remarkable in different ways.
The colored man and woman have
full freedom, as does the white
traveller and there is no opportunity
of clash, as there is no occasion for
the races to get together.
Separate waiting rooms and sep
arate ears, is an effective remedy, and
| one which means better accommodate
tions for whites and blacks, equally.
Talk of humiliation for the negro
is nonsense. If he was kept off the
railroad train. there might be occas-
ion for vehemet protest. but given
separate cars is sign of advancing
civilization, and once it is tried in
Virginia both races will afterwards
demand the separation of the races in
cars and otherwise New Berne Jour-
nal.

BRYAN SPEAKS IN BALTIMORE.
The Fight is to 60 on Until Victory is
Achieved.

Hon. VIM j. Bryan spoke in Balti-
more Saturday night under the
auspices of the Maryland Democratic
Association. The Music Hall, the
largest auditorium in the city. was
used for the purpose and the house
was packed to its fullest capacity, the
press dispatches state. Among other
things Mr.. Bryan said this:
Il want to assure you in the be-
ginning that my happiness does not
depend upon any honor which the
people of this nation can confer,
neither do | believe that this nations
happiness or welfare depends upon
any one person. AS in politics, as
in the army, the generals get glory
and the privates do the work. And
therefore | feel that l owe it the those
who for nearly four years have been
bearing the burden in the heat Of he
day, | owe it to them to say that
what | have done is but an atom com
pared with what they have done.
.'In 1896 the voters proved that
they could control the policy of the
party and during the last three years
they have proven that they could
hold what they gained in 1896 in
spite of newspapers, in spite of rail-
roads, in spite of banks, and in spite
of every influence supposed to obtain,
the plain people of the Democratic
party have stood and now stand for
the Chicago platform, in all that it
says.
''If this nation enters upon career
of imperialism, it ceases to be a
moral factor in the worlds progress.
If this nation enters upon career OF
conquest. it is not in position to raise
its protest against that doctrine
when applied by other nations.
You ask me what my idea of this
nations destiny is. | tell you that
it is to show to the world what self
government can do for people; it is
to make this the greatest republic
Of history; and then, as we grow into
strength, in population and in great
ness, we can raise our voice with in
creasing influence in behalf of truth
and Justice; and | want this nation
to stand erect, and be able to say at
all times that the people in this
nation sympathize with anybody
who is willing to die for liberty.
Il cannot tell you what fate has
decreed. | cannot tell you whether
it is to be our lot to triumph, and in
our triumph lay the foundation again
in the old places, and raise again the
ancient landmarks which the fathers
had set up. cannot tell, but | know
this: that if it is fate that this nation
is to cease to be republic, and be-
come an empire; if it is destiny that
this, the greatest republic of history
is to eNtinguish its light and follow
in the light of monarchies of the OLD
World; if in the providence Of God
the time has come when the pendulum
should swing back toward the dark
ages of the triumph of brute force,
pray God that the Democratic party
| may 90 down to eternal death with
the republic, rather than to live
when it's principles are gone"
