AS FIT AS THE WHITE MAN.

DIR. Cyrus Thompson made state
ment in his 81 eech at Franl1iinton that
shows him to be unworthy of his An
glo-Saxon heredity. Speaking of the
fact that the amendment conferred
the right of citizenship on white men
because their father could vote, he is
quoted by the Franlllinton News as
saying:
"That the negro was the equal of
the white man in hereditary fitness
to govern
The News says that this utterance
brought forth cheers from the ne
groes. Of course!
IT is lust here that the Democrats
differ from the Black-and-Tan outfit.
The Democrats contend that an I'M
educated white man, who was brought
ND to hear politics discussed around
the family circle, and whose father
and grandfather got their political
education as voters from public
sneeches. is better qualified to vote
than a negro who either himself or
his narpnts were slaves. The late
Judpe Davis was wont to say that the
1,neducated white men in North Caro-
lima were often better voters than
many men in the New England States
who could read and write. He gave
as the reason that they were accus-
toned to hear the Judge and lawyers
aft court and to attend the political de-
bates. and in this way became really
educated as to their political rights
and duties. and that it was impaired
to their sons.
And yet Cyrus Thompson, the Black
and-Tan candidate for Governor, says
that such uneducated white men are
not better fitted by heredity for gov
eminent than negroes. 1t is just here
where the Democrats and the Black
and-Tans part company. The Demo
Gratis say that by heredity and sur
roundings the uneducated white man
is better fitted to vote and govern
than the negro. The Blacll-and-Tans
deny this statement.
We leave it to the white voters to
saw which is right.

We are in favor of the present sys-
tenn of county government as long as
there is a single county that is saved
by it from African and scalawag rule.
We will ever preach that this is a
Cacausian government, founded by the
wisdom and won by the patriotism of
white men, for the benefit of all citi-
zens alike. Therefore it is of right
and ought to be managed by white
men only.-The Caucasian in 1890.

THE SOUTHERN ORGANS SCOOP"
SOME FACTS FOR REFLECTION.

The Morning Post, of this city, the
organ of the Southern Railway, scored
a scoop" on all it's contemporaries
yesterday. The Charlotte Observer,
the Wilmington Messenger, the Will
mington Star and the News and OBJ
server are counted as live newspapers
in North Carolina, but neither of them
is connected by an underground pipe
line with the Southern Railway office.
Neither of these papers, therefore,
published the following important
piece of news which appeared yester-
day exclusively in the Southern Rail-
ways organ, the Morning Post:
a PRIVATE TELEGRAM received
here yesterday from the Flat Rock
states that Judge Simonton has grant
ed q temporary injunction restraining
the Corporation Commission, the State
Auditor and the State Treasurer from
collecting and enforcing the assess
ment for 1900, which the Corporation
Commission levied on the Seaboard
Air Line Railway,/the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Southern Railway.
THE restraining order provides that
the railroads shall pay taxes on the
same basis as last year until the case
is settled.
''The date for the hearing is set
early next month";
The "PRIVATE TELEGRAM came
from Southern Railway official and
went into the Morning Post just as a
report from railroad conductor goes
to his official superior in the natural
course of business. There was a time
when this corporation newspaper
made some pretence that it was not
as much the property of the Southern
Railway as cross tie or a freight
car. This publication shows that it
has no shame in its subserviency
but fiaunts its turbulence in the face
of the public.

A TICKLE IMMIGRANT.

Her Experience with Two Lovers at
Uncle sans Barge once.
'gThere seem to be manifold oppor-
tunities among the immigrants coming
to America on shipboard for falling in
love, particularly on the slower steam
ers, when people are thrown together
for period of from IL to 19 days"
says John Gilmer Speed in Ainslee's.
'In this case a worthy young Russian
was cheated out of very pretty bride
by likely Italian fellow traveller Of
the maiden. Strangely enough, she
knew not one word of Italian nor he
a word of Russian, yet the brides
countryman was Tilted, and the panto-
mime lovers were married and set
forth gayly and confidently to learn
each other and the great new world
they had entered at one and the same
time.
Another case was equally ludicrous.
A Swedish maiden of somewhat tickle
mind fell in love with fellow voy-
ager without apprising him of the fact
that she was betrothed to another man
whom she was to meet at the barge
office and marry. 1t was her intention
to hurry ashore with her new lover
and outwit the former by prior cere-
mony, but the red tape Of the office
prevented that, and the first lover came
to welcome his bride. She then as
promptly fell in love with No. l. But
when No. 2 pleaded and threatened,
she could not decide which one she
loved the better, SO she was detained
while the two men haunted the barge
office, glazing at each other.
'When the detention time had elaps-
ed, the bride, still not knowing her
mind, was sent unceremoniously back
on the same steamer that brought her
over, both Tilted lovers abandoning the
field in despair. But ON arriving on
her native soil once more the maiden
dared not face her people, so back she
came, having just money enough to
pay her passage. and sent for lover No
