The election in North Carolina last
week had the feature of more than an
ordinary election, nullifying as it did
the amendments to the Constitution of
the United States. This done by an
amendment to the State Constitution
eliminating the larger part of the
negro vote-those who could not write
readily or who do not own property,
while it is stated, the whites in the
same condition will not be interferred
with. 1t was called the ''red shirt"
campaign, because those who advo-
Gated DISTINGUISHING the negro were
thus clad, and carrying arms, terror
lied meny communities. Senator But
Ter, Populist, was warned not to ap-
pear at places where he was advertised
to speak, and at other places the speak
ers were forcibly taken from the plat
forms and and maltreated by the ''red
shirts" The latter carried the cleo
tion by go, 900 or 1000 majority.
The amendment will be declared
adopted and will be put in force unless
it is declared unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court.
North Carolina is the fourth South
ern State to restrict the suffrage by
constitutional amendment or by the
adoption of an entirely new Constitu
tion. The other three States are
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Car
olina Each of these States adopted
an entirely new Constitution, while
North Carolina amended its present
Constitution. The avowed object of
the change in the suffrage require
ments in ali these States has been to
eliminate the colored vote.
What effect this change in the suf-
frage laws will have on the representa-
tion of North Carolina in Congress
cannot now be told. A strict enforce
ment of the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States would deprive North Carolina
of about one-third of its members of
the National House of Representatives
as its population is one-third colored
and two thirds white. The same rule
would deprive South Carolina of four
of its seven members, Mississippi of
four of its seven members and Louis
lana of three of its six members, total
loss of these four States of fourteen
members, or almost half their present
representation.
The country will have to look this
situation in the face and decide whether
representation in Congress can be al.
lowed to class almost wholly disfran
chised and the political power of the
disfranchised transferred to those who
worked the Acknowledgement. That il
a question which will have to be me-
and determined. The result in Nortl
Carolina and the probable outcome il
Virginia, Alabama and other State
must hasten the decision.

KING Victor Emanuel III, Friday,
addressed proclamation to the italian
people, which was a manly one. II
was glory of his grandfather to have
given Italy its unity and independence.
1t was the glory of his father to have
iealously guarded this unity and inde-
pendence to the end. Theyoung King
asked the help of God to aid him and
the love of his people to fortify him, so
that he may consecrate all his cares as
a King to the guardianship of liberty
and the defence of monarchy.

THE news from China is far from en-
couraging. The Allies have started
from Tein-Stein for Pekin, but lost
1900 men in battle with the Chinese

day said:
''Still besieged. Situation more pre-

A Wilmington paper says: "It was
the desire of our citizens that the next
Governor come from New Castle
county. The Union Republicans think
their candidate should come from Kent
and the Congressman from Sussex. In
other words, Kent and Sussex counties
although smaller in population, dictate
to New Castle county. Both parties
have the same trouble. New Castle
should not want all, nor would the
other two counties submit to that.

From the ample descriptions given to

This is one lesson which the manage

Never Grow Old.

Some men never seem to grow old Ex-
Senator Dawes. of Massachusetts, Is
among those who drink deeply at the foun-
tain OF eternal youth.
Mr.. Dawes Is in his eighty-fourth year.
The purchase of Louisiana was still the
talk OF the nation when he was born.
James Madison. long since gathered 20 his
fathers was president when he was a
boy. Webster and Clay were prominent
in the public eye when he was a young
man. He was a state senator fifty years
ago. He has lived through twice as many
presidential administrations as one can
count on the fingers OF both hands. And
vet yesterday, when he spent an hour or
two on the floor Of the senate. he looked
and acted like a man of sixty. He spent
some time In renewing acquaintance with
the senators who served with him years
ago-a list grown small. and including
such veterans as Allison. Morgan. Stewart
and half a dozen others.
The senate. after all. seems TO be a re-
3uvenator, for a man does not begin TO be
young In the senate until he has passed
the Solomonic standard of three-score
years and ten.

To touch upon the life Of Jefferson at

that jefferson believed In. For no two
men could be farther apart in their dis
