-.-. Nothing to be Proud of.
Charlotte Observer.
Two phrases have been dinnedfin-
to their ears until they are sick at
the stomach-''white supremacy"
and "negro domination" These
will neither persuade nor scare the
people Of North Carolina hereafter.
An attempt was made, afters the
August election last year, to warm
them over and work them for No
vember, but it failed signally and
had to be abandoned. In truth,
considering that there are three
white men in North Carolina to one
negro, and that the whites own
practically all of the property : and
are possessed Of all of the intelli.
gence, there is nothing to be, parti.
cularly proud Of in the fact that our
people were ever frightened by'' the
cry of "negro domination;" the peo-
pie of Georgia, where race cdhdi
tions are much the same as they are
here, could never be so frightened
and hence have declined to take
even the first step toward the adop
tion of constitutional amendraen'
to disfranchise the minority and in
ferior race. But that is neifhel
here nor there-we have our amend
ment and the white folks propos.
to have the freedom which they
where promised should go along
with it; indeed, they have already
begun to enjoy it."

Ingenious stroke Of Diplomacy.
In diplomatic quarters the accept
ance given by Chinese ENJOYS is re-
garded as most ingenious stroke of
diplomacy. Among diplomatic officials
il is said that this is not an nucondi-
tional acceptance, although it is such
n concurrence of the general principle
OF the note that the powers cannot
well set it ASIDE. 1t appears to be di-
rected toward reopening the word ''ir-
revOcable" and securing more definite
ana, if possible, more moderate cOndi
tons on some of the points involved.
1t is not clear whether the ENJOYS will
syn the note first, and then ask for
negotiations, or endeavor to ameliOrate
the terms before the final signatures
are affixed.

ANARCHISTS MAY

immigration Laws to Be
Changed So as to
Exclude Them.

teresting story Of his experiences In
company with the immigration Commits

eral T.. " Powderly and the United States
Industrial Commission he attended a
meeting held in Washington to consider
the immigration laws, the best means of
rendering them more effective and to sug-
geSt such changes as seemed to be de-
manded by experience. They held an
other meeting a week later and framed
an act to take the place of the present
laws, covering the same points and patch
ing up loopholes that had been found to
exist.
The new act to be submitted to Con-
gresS by the department will prohibit the
immigration of anarchists or that class
of revolutionists who are opposed to all
tation of all anarchistic aliens found in
this country.
North made some inquiry into the pro-
posed Chinese exclusion legislation and
found that the Geary act with some
changes and notifications, was most IA
vored. 1t will be introduced into Con-
gress as department bill by Senator
Perkins, and the recommendation will be
made by the Industrial Commission when
it makes it's report that the restriction
act be passed.
The members of the convention called
on President Roosevelt, and he expressed
! himself in hearty accord with their work.
He Informed North that he had just re-
| ceived letter from Governor Gage, in
viting the President to visit California.

SEAWELL HOLDS
AGAINST DUPRAT
Says Fish Commissioners
Have Right to Seize
Quail.
Pronounces Game Preserva-
ton Statutes 0onsti-
tutional

The two suits of L. Duprat against the
Board of Fish Commissioners were de-
cided by Judge Seawen yesterday. The
court sustained the demurrers to both
suits interposed by the board.
About q month ago Duprat, who is q
dealer in game In the California Market,
commenced two suits in the Superior
Court against the Board of Fish Commis-
sioners and certain deputies. One of the
cases was a suit at law on behalf of Du-
prat for sos damages for the seizure OF
twenty-five quail; the other suit was IN
equity, alleging that the seizure by the
deputies of the commission Of quail and
ducks in transit was unlawful ana that
the law for the protection Of game was
unconstitutional. Judge Seawell at that
tine issued ap order that the commission
and its deputies show cause why an in
junction should not issue TO restrain the
deputies OF the commission from Seizing
such quail and ducks without search
warrant.
deputies demurrers and affidavits were
filed. claiming that the court had no juriS-
diction to interfere in the subject matter
of the actions, because the game was
IN the execution of the State laws for the
preservation of game, and that the game
seized was being shipped for the purpose
of sale, contrary to law.
Last Friday the matters were argued
before Judge Seawen and this morning
he rendered his decisions in the cases. In
the suit for damages against the commits
sion and its deputies he sustained the de-
murrers upon the ground that the court
had no jurisdiction of the subject matter
of the action. In the equity suit for an
injunction he sustained the demurrers up
on the grounds that the laws for the
preservation of game are constitutional,
and therefore that an Injunction could not
issue to restrain the deputies of the COM
mission from the execution of such laws
for the preservation of game. He also
and thus it has been determined by this
decision that the commission and its dep
uties cannot be prevented from seizing
without a search warrant game which is
being shipped for the purpose of evading
the laws of the State
