 registration is directly connected With that of statehood and we are surprised that the people of the territory have not regarded it in this light Does any one suppose that the congress would view with favor the ad- mission of Territory whose total vote was shown by the election returns to be but a fraction of the population claimed? We might advance the poll tax law as an excuse, but it wouldn't amount to a rush in the estimation of the senate and house for 1t would be in disputable evidence, if admitted that the people of Arizona were lacking in patriotism in that they would permit the bagatelle involved In the poll tax to stand in the way of exercise of the franchise. The poll tax law undoIrb ed " VIII De repealed Dy tne next leglSla- dure. It is distasteful to 10th parties But its presence on the statutes should nos be permitted to stand in the way of statehood, which it surely will unless the people arouse 'thems elves. We are informed that democrats are displaying more interest in registration than re- publicans. It is even reported that in some of the counties the democrats having immediate control of the regis tratiOn machinery are placing obstacles in the way of republicans who desire to register. We hope chis is nos true. If 1t is true the republican leaders in those counties should arouse themselves. There ought to be patriotism enough in Arizona to result in a heavy registra- tion. If the people are not blind to the danger to statehood that will be insep- arable from a small registration they will at once bestir themselves. The time is short in which to overcome the existing apathy.

 The French Jesuit missionaries fol- lowed the first adventures into Cana da. They had no thought of conquest. Traders and territorial expansionists followed them. All were decently re- ceived by the Indians as a race The Europeans brought with them tokens of their civilizat ton. The red men mar wholesome of them sought to emulate, others became suspicious. Suspicion was aggravated by greed of traders and then by extension of foreign juris- diction.
 Simultaneously disease and famine smote the tribes. Minds irritated by the conduct of those not missionaries quickly ascribed misfortune to the ap- parently supernatural power of the Foreign devils"-the Indians using an expression closely analogous with this or the Boxers. The more perilous nhe undertaking. the more horrible the the missionaries determined to press farther into the country. They pro- nounced Cancellations upon the fiends who were burning them at the stake, and, while being mutilated day by day for IroQuois pastime, thanked God that they had been chosen as worthy of such sacrifice in His name.
 Meantime the trading foreigners and in that instance even the church itself-were supplying the natives with guns and ammunition, hitherto unheard of in this country. The Indian coun- cils began to argue that baptism was u ICh Ol lIle fTSIcnInen tO get them ln- 50 the Frenchmen's heaven where the chief happiness of the French was in the eternal torture of the copper col ored convert" A baptized maiden was said to have returned from the spirit world with this testimony and warning. One Jesuit who had gained the good will of the Mohawks left a box of his belongings in a village of theirs while he returned to Canada for consultation. That was in time of peace. Disease breaking out among the Indians, their medicine men said it was all traceable to the contents of the mysterious box, and on the mission ary's return he found the country up in arms once morea s!aughtering and burning. He himself became one of their many victims.

OPPOSED TO BOSS RULE.

When the Populist party was organized
one of its main cries was that it was
opposed to ring rule and "bossism.' In
the few short years of its existence, it
has come to be the creature of few
bosses who do not even make a pre-
tense of consulting the people. Our
Home" the Populist organ, draws this
picture of the recent meeting of the
Populist committee in Raleigh:
The political machine gets together
and talks secretly among themselves
as to the best plan to get to the swill
trough Then they issue an address
to the people about how they want to
be permitted to give the dear people
honest government etc. The question
in secret caucus is how to get to the
pie counter, but their public addresses
express great interest in the welfare of
the dear people and how they want to
see 'em have good government.
In 1898 most of the Populists repudiat-
ed such doings. In 1900 all the balance,
except the pie-eaters and tools of the
Republican party, will do likewise. The
days of bossism are numbered.

THEY ARE COMING ALONG.

It every day becomes more apparent
that the Populist bosses, who have sold
the party machinery out to the Mark
Hanna crowd, cannot deliver the votes
of the rank and file. The leading Popu-
list in Arson county is DR.. Maynard
The Wadesboro Messenger says that he
"favors the amendment" and adds
THE DOCTOR like a number of other
well known Populists, supports this i'm
portant measure with the understand
ing, and in the belief that it will be so
amended that if the grandfather clause
should be declared unconstitutional the
entire amendment must also be so de-
clared. That this will be done is a fore
gone conclusion, therefore, we take it
that the doctor may be counted on the
side of the overwhelming majority of
the best white people in this contest"
There are many others who will vote
with their race and "for the glorious
privilege of being independent"

THE WESTERN JUDGESHIP.

The News and Observer has taken no
part for or against Ewart in the contest
for confirmation 1t is none of our funer-
al. The Asheville Citizen thinks a better
Republican lawyer can be found in West
ern North Carolina than Ewart. Maybe
so, but our observation is that they are
all tarred with the same stick. Ewarr
may be worse than the rest in a certain
particular, but there is not another that
wouldn't fall down in some other particu-
lar. The Citizen makes suggestion that
an outlander be appointed We quote:
eff William Mckinley thinks he can
do no better among the lawyers of his
own party in Western North Carolina
than to appoint a creature with a fly
blown character, let him go outside of
Western North Carolina and even to
Porto Rico or the Phil. 1ines. Even
among the |ospised Tagalos he can find
better man, and he will have consider
able difficulty in finding a worse one. For
it is Mckinley who has insisted that a
moral stencil shall pollute the Federal
bench in this State"

PECKsNIFFIAN HYPOCRITEs.

For days there has been an active in
quiry to ascertain who drew the now
truly Infamous Porto Rican bill that
passed the House at the dictation of the
sugar trust and the tobacco trust. The
Chicago Times Herald instigated such
inquiry when it said:
ITO this day, no man has acknowledged
the paternity of the BILL which, like
vertable apple of discord, threatens to
bring disruption to great party.
All the members of the Ways and
Means committee, which presented it TO
Congress and urged it's passage, have
been quick to disclaim the authorship,
and it seemed until yesterday that its
paternity would give us another enquiry
like, who Struck Billy Patterson" Rep
resentative Tawney in answer to ques-
tion, Where Did the Bill Come From?"
frankly said, From the Secretary of
War, Mr.. Root" He was the attorney
and friend of Tweed in his days of steal
age, the attorney of the trusts before he
entered the Cabinet, and it is fitting that
he should eat his own words and be the
craftsman of the bill that the trusts de-
manded as the price of their campaign
contributions. This is the same Mr.. Root
who q few weeks ago wrote that the
"HIGHEST OBLIGATIONS OF JUSTICE
AND GOOD FAITH demanded giving to
Porto Rico all the rights enjoyed by the
States. And yet he penned the bill that
denied it to them. And Mckinley who
said it was "OUR PLAIN DUTY" used
every art of persuasion to pass the bill
of which ex-President Harrison said. Il
regard the bill as most serious depar
ture from right principles
BY their conduct Mckinley and Root
write themselves down as Pecksniffan
hypocrites.

DEATH OF A GOOD DOCTOR.

Dr. r. F. Gray, who died in Winston
yesterday, was not widely known to the
readers of the newspapers. He had not
lived in the public eye, but had spent
himself in the homes of the sick minis
tering to them in their affiiction. But he
had a place in the hearts of many men
the applause of listening Senates. The
picture drawn of the country doctor by
Ian McLaren in Beside the Bonnie
Briar Bush" of him we may say, as
Lachen Campbell said of the doctor:
when William Mac Lure appears be-
fore the Judge, He will not be asking him
about his professions, for the doctors
judgment has been ready long ago; and
it is a good judgment, and you and /
will be happy men if we get the like of
it.

DR.. Gray's practice was very large
among all classes, and his charity prac-
tice" claimed his devoted attention. In
his last moments he referred to and
enquired about his poor patients" anx-
iously, and all classes, especially the
lowly and humble, and poor to whom he
ministered so kindly, deeply felt his
death as personal bereavement.

ENGLAND'S DUTY TO THE BOERS

The whole world has watched with
admiration the splendid struggle the
Beers have been making to defend their
country from the invaders. Everybody
has known that it was only a question OF
time when the superior forces of the Eng
lish would win the struggle, but this has
not affected their admiration for Boer
heroism or the rights of the Beers. They
have stood for the rights of self govern
ment over the doctrine:
Let him take who has the power
And let him keep who can"
If England could be magnanimous, if
it's greed for land had any limit, if it ever
felt for the weak-it would now be ready
to restore these sturdy farmers their
homes and their rights.
80, it is excellent to have the strength
of a giant,
But it is tyrannous to use it as giant. "

LINNEY SCORED.

There is little doubt that if Linney

best scoring he received was administered
by Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi, who
said
81 do not blame the gentleman from
North Carolina (Mr. Linney) much, be-
cause he cannot know what he says; he
cannot measure English when he speaks;
he does not mean what he says; he does
not fathom the significance of his own
words; that he does not under
stand the force and power of the Eng
lish language, but merely opens his
mouth and lets come what words VIII
and lets them fall where they mays
And yet 1 prone to believe that at the
bottom of this entire speech of the gem
tleman from North Carolina lies this
thought and motive, viz, that if the illit-
crate vote, the incapable vote and the
incompetent vote, the ignorant and GRIM
inaI vote of the State of North Carolina
is once ruled out by legislation or amend
ment, in accordance with the constitu-
tion of the United States, it may be that
the gentleman and men like him will
have played out their short scene upon
the political stage of this country and be
retired to private life
This is at the bottom of hostility to
the amendment. The present Republican
leaders know that its passage will elm
mate them in any event If it kills
the Republican party, they die. If 1t
creates a Republican party of strength
and responsibility, it will have new lead
ers. and they die also in that event.
