A RAILROAD COLOSSUS.

The dispatches in yesterday morn
ing's Observer told of the effort to
absorb into colossal combination
the principal railroads of the North
and Northwest. This is but the logi-
cal outcome Of the trust idea. For
some time past we have been hearing
of the efforts of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad people to get control of the
Chesapeake e. Ohio and the Baltimore
& Ohio. The Vanderbilt interests
are back of the scheme, and the vast
fortune of that family, continually
multiplying as it is, is being used to
make the combine success 1t

ticket Offices of all the roads in the
syndicate in Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, Boston. Buffalo, Balti-
more, Washington, Pittsburg, Cincin-
natti, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapo-
lis, Peoria and st. Louis, and the
substitution OF Joint offices in each
city. 1t means that $4,000 railroad
employees will be thrown out of work
/ 1t is estimated that when the new
combination is in good shape with
the roads between the Mississippi
river and the Atlantic seaboard, the
promoters Of the movement will turn
their attention to the territory West
OF Chicago and attempt to bottle up
the Chlcago->t. Louis-Rocky Noun

combining proceedings may extend
ultimately to the Pacific coast, since

Western roads.
The South can hardly escape if this
enormous. al-embracing combine at
the North and West is success
full. Already the most strenuous ef-
forts are being put forth to stifle
competition in the South. The un-
firing, relentless efforts of Mr.. Ryan
to prevent the Seaboard system from
consolidating as competing through
line to the Southern Railway are no
doubt an echo of this Western pool.
The South is to be congratulated that
so far, thanks to just judges, the
Ryan schemes have failed. In view

EFFECTS.

When we consider the probable ef-
fects of the proposed amendment
should it be adopted, our thoughts
naturally turn to the benefits our peo-
pie will derive from it. To large
extent the race question will be
eliminated from politics and from
political measures. The political
aspects of that question settled there
would be no reason why the whites
should not practice every kindness
towards the colored race. and seek to
ameliorate their condition and to
provide additional facilities for their

BEST EVEN FOR THE NEGRO.

The elimination of this class of
citizens Ignorant negroes) from
politics will be God-send to them
1t will loosen the bonds between
them and those white leaders who
play upon their ignorance and pref
udice to lead them away from their
true friends and against their own
highest interests, and it will strength
Ell the bonds between them and the
white neighbor upon whom they are
dependent for industrial and com
mercial prosperity and progress.
The colored citizen is on trial, not
only before the people of the South,
but before the world. not as politi-
cal element chiefly, but as an indus
trial factor. This comes near to his
heart and his home. This is the
sphere of his real interest, and what
ever disentangles him on the non
essential side and gives him larger
freedom on the essential side Of his
life and destiny is for his present and
permanent good. Nothing in this
regard will serve him better than this
temporary elimination from politics.
His elimination from politics does not
mean his elimination from citizen
ship, except in regard to the voting
function which he is the least cap
able of appreciating and least pre-
pared to use for his own benefit and
the good of the State. All other
rights guaranteed to the best Of our
citizens are yOuchsafed TO him
Moreover, the provisions of this
amendment are not such as to work
a permanent or even temporary dis
ablement of any class, but only a
limitation of the right of franchise
for short period.-R. ID. Gilmer.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
Are Young Women Receiving PraCti-
cal Education?

Elsewhere is printed an article from
the Asheville Citizen, in regard to
female education, which is worthy of
consideration. This is 4 progressive
age but an intensely practical one.
The idea that all boys who could 90
to college must necessarily enter
some one of the learned professions
has been exploded, and boys are being
trained in industrial pursuits. They
are made mechanics, civil engineers.
mill men, farmers, and taught other
lines of industry that demand trained
men. Why should not the girls be
trained to do properly the work that
belongs to woman's sphere? 1t is
| true that there has been some en-
| deavor to iDaugurate female indus
| trial education in this State and else
| where, but as yet it is in its infancy.
| Many girls have learned to be trained
nurses, stenographcrs, etc, all of
| which is very we'll, but most of them
want to be teachers, and music, art
and the higher branches are given
| preference. How many girls VIII" are
prominent in the so-callcd society Of
the day, and who expect to be mar
ried as soon as good chance offers,
know anything about housekeeping?
How many of them, as the Cttiz'n
rather rudely asks, could broil a beef
steak properly or dress in infant with
out getting its clothes mixed? These
are practical questions and questions
that need attention. = Statcsyllic
| Landmark
The Citizen article is as follows:
| One curious thing about our ''fe-
male" seminaries, not only in this
State but all over the country, is that
! as a rule the courses contain nothing
| practical for the home unless we
| count piano music and voice culture.
and charcoal, crayon and pastel
drawing and painting. Yet in good
many of them we find strcnography
and typewriting, telegraphy, book
keeping, etc. SO the question nat
! urally arises: Are these "femalc"
seminaries toting fair with the rising
generation of girls?
| Schools for young men are going
more and more into preparation for
| the real business OF lie hat - u
it should be Now whats the sense
| in all this talk about "woman ;
| sphere" and the real work of women
unless the girl is taught something at
school about the real work she must
do if she marries, keeps house and
rounds out "woman's sphere" with a
! crop of future citizens?
| Isn't it true that go per cent. Of the
| piano practice is worse than wasted,
and that fully 80 per cent Of the

not this especially true when not
more than % per cent. Of the young
women can make a pot Of coffee, broil

This is an intensely practical age,

are needed as well as practical men.

Is CONSTITUTIONAL.

But there is no necessity of discus
sing this question further Because
the decision of the Supreme Court Of
the United States in Williams vs.
Mississippi puts an end to all contro-
versv. The Constitution of Mssis-
sippi contains a disqualification of
negroes similar to that proposed in
the amendment. The court SAYS:
'.Restrained by the Federal Consti-
tuition from discriminating against
the negro race the convention dis
eliminates against its characteristics,
and the offences to which its crimi-
nal members are prone. But nothing
tangible can be deduced from this. ="
And the Constitution of Mississippi

a good many persons have been
interviewed on the Constitutional
amendment speak very confidently of
its being carried by large majority.
That may be all true, but it is well
not to be over-coniident. 1t often
happens that a feeling of certainty
begets lukewarmness, and we warn
Democrats to guard against being too
sure. 1t will take work. and hard
work at that, to carry the measure
through The fight is not yet fairly
on, and the Republicans will wage a
desperate contest to defeat the amend
ment's adoption. SO Democrats
might as well organize at once for

BEST REPUBLICANS FOR IT.


Ordinary Republican politicians
must oppose it, for they want to pre-
serve their party strength and be-
sides the unlettered negroes who
have often helped them require their
opposition, and they wish to retain
the influence of the negroes who will
continue to vote. But these con-
siderations will not control white
Republicans who do not aspire to
office. Some of these, however. will
oppose it for the sake of their politi-
cal friends, some from prejudice
against all things Democratic, and
some because they really think that
ignorant negroes who will be dis
qualified under it, are as capable in
government affairs as are the inlet
tered white men who will vote under
it. But many white men in North
Carolina homes to-day, hearing the
laughter of their children, and low
ingly regardful of their future, while
Republicans on other questions are
Democrats on this. They will, with
the approval of many staunch and
able Republican leaders, increase the
majority by which the amendment
will carry and their posterity will
cherish their conduct w. .kitchin.
OF course we are in favor of the
amendment. but if we were not one
of its most earnest champions. we
would be disgusted at the action Of
those negro Republican clubs up
North, who are organizing to send
speakers and money to North Caro-
lima to work for the defeat of the
amendment. Congressman Linney
and Senator Pritchard met with these
clubs in Washington City and en-
couraged the negroes in their plan.
We are sure that this exodus of negro
politicians to this State will receive
the condemnation of every peace
loving citizen Of our State. and We
deeply regret this intended invasion.

The rule applicable to statutes
which | have discussed applies with
greater force in the construction of
an amendment to the Cons stitutiOn
because in the case of statute, if the
court mistakes the intention of the
Legislature the mistake can be easily
corrected by repeating the part of the
statute left in force, while the means
of correcting a mistake in the case of
a Constitutional amendment is much
more tedious and complicated.
The power sometimes exercised by
the courts to declare a part of a
statute void, and to enforce other
parts should be carefully guarded,
and is not permissible except when it
can be clearly seen that the void part
, does not affect the purpose of the
enactment, and has not influenced
the Legislature, because the statute
with part of it stricken out by the
court is not the act of the Legislature
but of the court, and the courts have
no power to make law.-Judge w. K.
