PRTTCHARD'S HYPOCRISY.

In his speech at New ton last Satur-
dav Senator Pritchard who is drawing
his pay as Senator while he is down
here stumping against the constitu
tional amendment, declared that if it
be adopted sboth white and colored
will be disfranchised alike" Pritch-
ard knew when be said that that he
was saying something AS devoid OF
truth as he is of political honesty, for
he knew that not a single white man
will be disfranchised by that amend
ment, unless bv his own voluntary
act. The amendment leaves the way
open by which every white man in
the State may be 4 voter: and that is
one OF the very things that Pritchard
protests against as 4 discrimination
against the negro. The so-called
grandfather" clause takes in every
white native born man, and every
other white man who had the right to
vote in this or any other State pre-
vious to the adoption of this amend
ment, while there is ample time given
to the young white men who cannot
read or write to learn how and thus
qualify themselves to register and be-
come voters.
But it isn't the white man that
Pritchard is troubled about, but the
negro contingent who will be knocked
out by this amendment. and on whose
votes the Republican party relies to
get into power again. and on which
Pritchard relies to get back into the
Senate again. He is simply playing
the white man and protesting this
/ hypocritical interest in him as his
excuse for espousing the cause Of the
negro, whose aid he wants in coming
elections. But Pritchard's interest in
both white man and negro is inspired
by his interest in himself, for if his
political career wasn't in the balance
he wouldn't care a continental abou,
eirher.-Wilmington Star.

FIRST OPPORTUNITY.

For thirty years white Republican
leaders have said with us that this
was, because of his high qualiiica
tions, a white mans State and that
white men should rule it. You cannot
recall one who announced a contrary
proposition. Next August will present
the first opportunity that the men of
our State have had during the gen
Grafton of showing in substantial
manner that they believe the duties
and responsibilities of suffrage should
be limited to those who can read and
write and yet not on that account de-
MED to those in whose veins flow the
blood of generations of electors. and
on whose character is the imprint Of
centuries of heroic performance in
public affairs. | mistake their wis
dom, temper and determination if
they do not avail themselves of that
glorious opportunity.-W w. Kitchin

RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

The rule in the construction of
statutes is thus stated by Chief JUS
tice Shaw, of Massachusetts, in Nor
row VS.. Charlestown. Gray, 81. "1f
they Che parts of a statute) are so
mutually connected with and depend
ent on each other. as conditions, con-
siderations or compensations for each
other as to warrant belief that the
Legislature intended them as a whole,
and that, if all could not be carried
into effect, the Legislature would not
pass the residue independently. and
some parts are unconstitutional, all
the provisions which are thus de-
pendent conditional or connected
must fall with them"
This language is end orsed by the
Supreme Court of the United States
in Allen vs.. Louisiana, 1913 L. S. r.
In Riggsbee vs.. Durham, 81 n. c.
R., sos. the court says: when such
relations exist among the parts (of a
statute), as that they make one con-
sistent whole. and each material to the
efficacy Of the statute in subscribing
its general object, it must stand as a
unity, or fall altogether.
1t seems to me that the application
of the rule is easy. The Legislature
| passed the amendment as whole,
and the people ratify it in the same
wav.-Judge W. r. Allen.

GEN. WHEELER'S OPINION.
Government Suited to
Needs of the Philippines.

SAN Francisco, Cal. March 7th.-
Gen. Joseph Wheeler and party, who
have been in quarantine since their
arrival from the Philippines on the
transport Warren last Monday, were
permitted to land tonight.
Gen. Wheeler said that his health
was excellent. He speaks enthusias-
tically of his impressions of Guam.
He said he resigned from the army
November 20, but was not ordered
home until the middle of January.
He did not care to discuss his reasons
for leaving the army.
Il shall 90 to Washington,n he
said, "having resigned from the
army, and with a proper certificate
of election and Iexpect to be sworn in.
1T will be noted that my resigna-
tion from the army was handed in be-
fore Congress met"
AS to the situation in the Philip
pines and Guam he said:
"All is very satisfactory in both
places. The war is over, except for
the work of the guerilla bands that
ambush our troops and do a little
damage.
Il was much pleased with the Fill
pino people. They are intelligent,
kind and courteous. They are not
disposed to revolution and violence,
but the false presentation made to
them regarding Americans very nat
urally aroused them and led them to
| believe that resistance to our rule was
the only possible escape from impend-
ing evil.
II found that when they learned
the real character and purposes oi
Americans they seemed well recon
ciled to our government, and | firmly
believe that after the establishment
of good and wise civil administra
tion of affairs, an era of great pros
perity will bless the people OF the
archipelago.
Il believe the people are ready fo1
certain kind of self-government
They could be given the power tc
make laws under such a system o
government as has been adopted fol
our territories. The municipal gov
ernments are all in the hands of the
natives, and they get along withou
trouble or friction. Under terri
torial form the islands could be bes
controlled"

gests as fit persons for the Republi-
cans and fusion Populists to head

fao lineage, and White is pale face

| He is a leader of his race in North
Carolina. He is defiant, impertinent
and offensive. He has, in a public
| speech, invited a race conflict with
the white race and challenged them
to 4 contest for the supremacy in
| North Carolina. He made this wicked
and indiscreet speech in a negro con
vertion in Raleigh and on the 23d of
February on the floor of the House of
| Representatives he made Il speech,
| which was said to have been inspired
by Jeter Pritchard, which arraigned
| the State of North Carolina for its
treatment of negro criminals, and
was composed Of so many false state
ments that he was afraid to confront
the people Of North Carolina with the
speech as it was delivered in the
House of Representatives, and it was
changed and expurgated when pub
lished in the Congressional Record
all which dirty work, it is said, was
| the handiwork of Senator Pritchard.
These two dirty, disgraced represent
atives from North Carolina are close
friends, socially and politically, and
work together on the same political
lines. Both invoke Federal military
intervention in the political affairs OF
North Carolina, Pritchard to control
the election of the Constitutional
Amendment to protect the State in
white supremacy, and White to con-
troll the general franchise as it APP
plies to the negro race.
Let Pritchard and White be the
candidates and running mates fol-
Governor and Lieutenant-Govern OF
North Carolina, and the true white
sons of North Carolina will meet them
in square, stand-up fight.

CRONJE'S HEROIC DEFENSE.
of the Boer Leader and His Gallant
Little Army.
Fayetteville ObSeryer.)

One of the queer things connected
with the heroic defense Of General
Cronje is the disposition to regard it
as the greatest feat of the kind since
Thermopyla. There were 10000
British troops pursuing Cronje's army
of 1000 or 5000. The latter were
brought to bay and surrendered ten
days ago, what was left Of them after
casualties and escapes Of snail bodies
from time to time had reduced the
strength of the main body. This is
now said to have been 1000, SO that
Roberts had ten times as many men.
But contrast this with Lees surrender
at Appomattox of $500 arms-bearing
men to 1SO, 900 of Grants men on the
ground, over twenty times as many.
Yet the improvements in arms since
Lees surrender have changed the adj
vantage possessed by the defense
from to in Lees time to 10 to in
Cronje's time. SO that, calculated in
this way, which is the military ex-
perts' way of looking at it, Cronje's
relative strength was Sir times as great
as Lees.
There is another view of this South
African war which Cronje's surrender
calls up. The European continental
press is teeming with expressions of
sorrow for the Beers. and some of them
are urging Intervention by the powers
in their behalf. Yet not one of these
nations came to the assistance of the
South in its heroic and unparalleled
struggle for independence against the
Northern-invaders in 1S615, although
the South was never under the suZer-
ainty of the North, while the Beers
were, or had been, under the suzer-
ainty of Great Britain.
The Beers are making a magnificent
fight for their liberty they are slave
holders, while their foes are abolition
lists; they are rural and pastoral
people, living under sort of patri-
archal system of government they
deserve our warmest sympathy and
deserve to win-but no one who be-
lieves that the South was wrong in
1865 can consistently sympathize
with the Beers now.
General Roberts seems to be treat
ing his prisoners with the same cour
tesy which General Grant exhibited
to Lees army; but does any one be-
lieve that if President Kruger is cap
tured he will be manacled, as President
Davis was? Or does any one imagine
for moment that if the British free
the Boer slaves they will fail to pay
for them as they did in the case of the
West Indian slave owners in 1888?
Or that they will scourge the con-
quered Beers with an army OF THEY
ing carpet-baggers9 Or, having dis
franchised their best citizens, enfran-
chise their newly-freed slaves?
The British do not even call the
Beers rebels. Yet the invaders of the
South called the freeborn and indie
pendent people whom they were so
foully wronging, "rebels."
We greatly suspect that the strong
expressions of sympathy with the
Beers which the freedom-loving Rus
slams and other Europeans are so
loudly proclaiming, spring only from
hostility to the Anglo-Saxon colossus
which beats them in the quest OF com
merce.

WILL YOU HELP

The history of the Twenty-third

AS 10 Mr.. Mebare.

\ correspondent, "N, protests
against the idea of the Democratic
State convention nominating Mr.. c.
II. Mebane. Superintendent of Public
instruction, for the position he now
holds. 1t is true that Mr.. Mebane
was nominated and elected four years
ago as a Republican, 1t is further
true that he is the first man who has
held the position since the war who
has seemed to regard it otherwise
than as a sinecure-who has made
anything out of it for the children of
the people. It is true, again, that he
has been a real .'nOn-partisan' in the
administration Of his office, declaring
that politics must have no place in
the public schools and leaning rather
to the Democratic than to the Repub-
lican boards-deciding, indeed, in the
contested school board cases in favor
of the Democrats and advising the
fusion boards to vacate in favor of the
appointees of the last Legislature.
We have. too, seen Mr.. Mebane
quoted as in favor of the Constitu-
tiOnal amendment. We do not know
how this is, but if it is true the fact
covers multitude Of sins. The Oh
serrer has no zeal about the matter.
but, speaking broadly, party which,
four years ago, voted for six Populist
electors, who were committed to a
Populist for Vice-President, need not
have any great scruples in nominal
ing this year, for non-partisan
office, a man who has shown pre-emi-
neut fitness for his place and who has
discharged its duties in such man
ner that certainly no Democrat can
object to him. whatever reason those
who elected him may find for disap-
pointment in him in partisan way.

A government is safe in the hands
of its citizens if they possess three
qualifications:
1st. a goodness that causes them
to desire the greatest blessings to the
greatest number.
ID. An intelligence that enables
them to understand what is for the
best interest of the whole people and
the best means. of obtaining it.
Sd. A conservatism and thoughtful
ness that prevents rashness which
may lead to revolution.
These qualifications may be OBJ
tanned by education. They surely
can be and are obtained by long ex-
perience, and east by descent from
father to son. There is no doubt of

THE NORTH CAROLINA LAW IS
FAIR AS WELL AS CONSTITU-

The strongest argument yet pro-
duced for the constitutionality of the
grandfather clause of the proposed

a portion Of the State Constitution.

the Caucasian said:
If Mr.. Pritchard. who is not sill

dishonest methods, and a chasm will
be created and no bridge can be built
across it."

Pritchard leads. Can it carry the hon
