NORTH CAROLINA Democrats have
just passed constitutional amend
ment requiring educational qualifica-
ton for suffrage while permitting
those who had the right of suffrage
in 1861 and their defendants to still
exercise that right. The amendment
in fact DISTINGUISHES the negroes
while allowing the iliiterate whites to
vote. The conservative North will
rcondone this action on the part of the
Democrats, on account of the illegal
methods which in the past the Demo
Gratis have felt compelled to use in
order to maintain Democratic domin-
ion in the South. The action of the
Democrats If North Carolina, how
ever, should forever stop the Demo
Gratis of the North from raising the
demogogic cry thas the constitution
is violated by not extending the right
of suffrage to the coolies of Hawaii,
ct al.

REPRESENTATIVE TAwNEY, speaking
of the democratic claims of carrying
this state said: "For long time the
Minnesota democrats took up the
word free as prefix to trade, and
they played upon that for the instruc-
tions of the voters. 1t was failure.
Then they took up the same word as
prefix to silver and again they
failed of responsive audiences in our
state. Having worn out the word
free they are now harping on the
word imperialism, but their efforts
ale meeting with just as little sue
cess as heretofore"

THE PANIC ARGUMENT.

1t is undoubtedly the general opin-
ion of Eastern business men and
financiers, as it is also the opinion OF
great many Western business men,
that Mr.. Bryan's election would
brighten the business world into the
most violent panic ever known in the
history of our country. Panics are
usually due to fear and distrust-- We
do not assert that Mr.. BrYsn's cleo
,tion ought to be followed by a wild
and riotous stampede in Wall Street
and a series of commercial collapses
throughout the country. We have
ymerelyto record the fact that East
.ern business men themselves confess
that Mr.. Bryan's election would make
them either active participants or
helpless victims in a tremendous
panic. If the silver question were to
be definitely postponed, and the
campaign fought on the question of
indorsing or condemningfth McKin-
ley administration, the question of
private business prosperity would not
be seriously involved one way or the
other, 1t happens that we have had
several years of good crops, high
agricultural prices, and extraordinary
industrial activity. A reaction is
bound to come sooner Or later; but
it is the general belief of the COM
mercial world that fairly good times
may continue perhaps two or three
years longer if nothing is done to
disturb the general conditions under,
lying business transactions. And SO
there are great many people who
are disposed to agree with Mr.. Bryan
in his views of what they choose to
call imperialism, but who do not
want to run the risk of an immediate
change of our monetary standards.
To put it bluntly, they perfer all the
evils of the Mckinley regime of i'm
perialism to the sacrifice of the gold
standard. They favor the abandon
ment of the Philippines and other
island acquisitions, but not at the
expense of free-silver coinage or a
financial panic and a collapse of
prosperity" From "The Progress
of the World" in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for
August.

In Lincoln, Neb., there is a "Round
Table club" organized for the discus
sion of political and social questions.
Mr.. Bryan is a member. At recent
meeting the question related to the
retention or giving up of the Philip
pines. The rule of the club is that
each speaker shall be limited to five
minutes, but Mr.. Bryan was voted all
the time he desired in which to pre-
sent his peculiar views. At the close
of the discussion, member having
asked and received permission from
Mr.. Bryan, put to the latter the fol-
lowing query:
"Mr. Bryan, we are of but little inn
portance here, only an atom in the
country, but there are millions inter-
rested in your views. Would you,sir,
if elected president, as commander-in
chief Of the army, order our soldiers
to pack up and leave7 Would YOU,
sir, as commander-in-chief of the
navy, order our ships of war to steam
away from Manila?"
Mr.. Bryan at once became excited
and replied: "You have no right to
ask me such questions, sir" Pioneer
Press.
Why not? Mr.. Bryan has been for
a long time talking about the crime
which is being committed by our gov
eminent by keeping troops in the
Philippines to fight and conquer the
dear Filipinos, and the country has q
right to know what he would do, if
placed in power. Mr.. Bryan's refusal
to answer the question is only an
other bit of testimony which points
him out as the most colossal dema-
gouge of the age.--Appleton Tribune

In 1853, Stephen A. Douglas,

him in 1860 to admit the the justice
of the position taken by the greatest.

the following to say in regard to the
growth and expansion of this <nstioHt
The extract is taken from the Free
port speech, as given in the published
account of the famous Lincoln- Doug
las debates. The Little CANT" said:
"Whenever it becomes necessary in.

more territory, | am in favor OF it
without reference to the question of
slavery, and when we have scquir ID it,
will leave the people free to do as
they please, either to make it slave or
free territory, as they may perfer.2 It
is idle to tell me or you that we have,
territory enough. Our forefathers
supposed that we had enough when
our territory extended to the Mississ-
ippi river, but a few years. growth
and expansion satisfied them that we
needed more, and the Louisiana terri
tory, from the west branch of the Mis-.
sissippi to the British, possessions was
acquired. Then we acquired Oregon,
then California and New Mexico

it would be with this great nation.
With our natural increase, growing
with rapidity unknown in any other

killing on ThistIes.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer writes as follows about killing
off Canada thistles:
The writer's method, which has been
very successful, is as follows: The job
Is let out to a boy Tor boys, and the
terms of the contract are mo kill, no
pay" The result is the boy gets his
pay.
On my farm the thistles grow in
patches, and 1 pay SO much per patch,
according to size. The work is begun
in the spring. Each week for two or
three weeks the boys cut them with a
hoe about two inches below the surface
of the ground.
Once in two weeks, for about three
times and after this about once a
month, this job is done during the bal
ance of the season. By fall the thistles
are smothered out.
The leaves Of a plant are it's lungs.
You can kill an oak tree by picking off
its leaves n buds for one season. I
plan to kill thistles in a field devoted
to cultivated crops. After the second
or third cutting very few plants will
appear.
By n little attention to the boy he
will attend to the thistles and at the
same time earn a little cash. 1 have
tried salt, which kills the thistle, but is
expensive and dom help the boy.

NOTHING OFFICIAL FROM
turkey Regarding the Deal With
ShipbuiIder Cramp.
MO MATTER, MONEY COMES.

Washington, Dec 3--No proposition
has come to the United States govern
ment from Turkey looking to the pay
ment of the missionary claims under
the gnise of an order for the warship
to be built in the United States While
it hardly expected that any formal
proposition of this kind would be forth
coming, it is, of course, beyond the
power of the state department to pre-
vent or interfere with any arrange
ment that the Turkish government
may enter into with American ship
builders and individual claimants The
point is, after all, to have the claims
paid and the state department officials
are not very particular as to the form
in which the pay ments are paid Per
haps they are Indifferent in this res
pect because of knowledge of the fact
that the Turkish government might be
terribly embarrassed by the pressure
of European creditors We're the United
States government to insist upon GER
tain forms of procedure in this case
There are no developments in the
negotiations respecting the exequatu r
of DR. Norton, who would be United
States consul at Harpoot. The matter
is still one of correspondence, and the
authorities here are confident that the
Turkish government will, in the end,
, Jield on this point.

ADMINISTRATION SANGUINE.
viii Not Agree to Demands Upon
China That Cannot be Met.
TO PREVENT LAND GRABBING.

Washington, Dec. Admit Illustration
officials continue sanguine that the
ministers of the powers at Pekin win
ment in the demands to be made upon,
satisfaction for the Boxer outrages-
The state department is in cornuauni-
cation with the ministers and ambas-
sailors of the United States to the Eu-
ropean courts, and advices which have
come from them from time to time lead
the officials here to hope that the pow
ers will be brought to the position
maintained by the United States in
dealing with the Chinese, viz: That
there should not be demands made
upon the imperial government which
it is not able to fulfill. Our govern
ment has persistently held to this view
in the progress of the negotiations be-
tween the ministers at Pekin, and if
the principle of this contention can be
maintained in the combined note to
be handed to the Chinese p1enipoten-
tiaries a decided advantage will be had
at the start
The attitude of our government on
this subject has been made clear to
Mr. Conger-
The position of the United States
government is, and has been from the
first, that the demands made upon
China shall not be SO great to leave
an excuse for any one of the allies to
demand or accept slices of Chinese ter
ritory, by reason of China not being
able to meet the demands.
