The white people in North Carolina
have grown tired Of negro domination
which they say is infinitely worse than
the carpetbag regime during the recon

is being made TO restore white suprem-
acy. They allege that wildly extraya-
giant taxes are levied by ignorant legis-
lators, that the industries Of the State
are paralyzed and general ruin threaten
ed. The organization formed TO restore
white supremacy is the Red Shirts and

joined the whites and are wearing the

Constitution and Territories.

In the November number OF the Annals
of the American Academy OF Political and
Social Science Is a paper by Carl Becker.
of the University Of Pennsylvania. in
which the law and practice OF the United
States in the government OF independent
territories are discussed at some length.
The writer. after carefully reviewing the
entire trend OF congressional legislation.
and the decisions OF the supreme court,
arrives at conclusions expressed as fol-
lows:
Congress has all legislative power In
the territories which is not specifically de-
MED II by the constitution; and though
always assuming II was no, limited by
the constitution in any respect In the
territories. has not. as a matter Of prac-
tice. directly or Indirectly overstepped
those limitations"
Unfortunately for Mr.. Becker's arru-
ment congress has. as a matter OF prac-
tioe. In terms oyerstepped the constitu-

Mr.. Becker argues, from various deci-

s,itution extends OF It's own force over
the territories to the extent at least that
congress can exercise no powers in the
territories which are absolutely denied II

TACOMA NOT WANTED.

Los Angeles. CAL. Dec. IL. 1900.
To the Editor: My attention has been
called to the controversy, II such II can
be called. which has been going on be-
tween your paper and the Tacoma Ledger
regarding the name OF the highest peak
of Washington.
The way the Ledger attacked the ar
ticle in the Post-Intelligencer seemed to
outside people to be animated simply by
a spirit of jealousy that very ill becomes
such a subject. What has followed since
seems TO be a queer contortion OF facts
and mixture of mushy sentimentaltsm.

OF the supposed Indian name. when the

peak OF the Northwest was given by one

In ali OF this discussion no note seems
