JUDGE ALIENS SPEECH.

We surrender much space today to
the full text of the speech made yes
terday by Judge Allen, chairman OF the
House committee charged with the duty
of prosecuting the impeached Supreme
court judges.
1t is a singularly, clear, strong and
forcible presentation of the case. 1t is
as unanswerable as it is clear-cut and
direct, and will carry conviction to
every mind that reads it without hav-
ing previously formed an opinion. 1t
Legislature is prompted by partisan
motives; brushes aside the attempt to
shift the issue; makes it clear that,
from the day the constitutional amend
ment was submitted, the majority of
the Supreme court entered upon we'll
defined programme to destroy the leg
islation and shake the confidence of the
people in the Legislature; shows that,
wrong and dangerous as is the decision
i'm Hoke VS.. Henderson, it may be for
this case admitted to be good law, and
still the indictment against the judges
holds good; exposes the fallacies and
weakness of the answer filed in behalf
of the ffnpeachedr judges; and closes
with an appeal, in the name of the peo-
pie for Justice that will not fall on deaf

BEST THE STATE HAS KNOWN.

The Legislature yesterday finally
passed the revenue bill. 1t is now a
law 1t was long debated and there
was much difference of opinion as to
many provisions, but in the main the
bill passed as prepared by the Finance
Committee and presented to the Senate.
Some of the changes made improved
it; others detracted from its value. But
as it stands, we hazard nothing in say
ing that, considered as whole, it is the
best revenue bill ever enacted in North
Carolina, and we predict that as it
comes to be understood it will meet the
approval of the public

WOULDN'T STULLIFY THEM

OE1<N E<D Il OTl "A DOhEOOM.
Webster's Weekly.
The Durham Herald says: 1.-THE term
for which Theophilus White was ap-
pointed having expired, it is rather GU
rious that the Legislature did not abol-
ish the office. Or may be it was White
and not the office they were after"
Just the reverse, my friend. 1t was
the office that was wanted and not
White.-Raleigh Post.
The above needs no comment, and for
the same reason they are prosecuting
the judges-not because they ''violat-
ed the laws of North Carolina but be-
cause they have some hungry pets that
must be cared for.-Caucasian.
We have seen no protest from the
Post that the Caucasian misconstrued
its language. We suppose it is willing
to be understood as saying that the
Legislature of 1899 was actuated solely
by partisan and mercenary motives in
the White matter: that it wanted his
place for the money that was in it and
determined to have it, right or wrong.
A strange position truly for Demo-
cratic paper to occupy. 1t is equivalent
to saying that the men who led the
revolution of 1899, who stirred the peo-
pie from the mountains to the sea and
convinced them that change was ne
cessary, were a lot of arrant humbugs
and had no higher motive than to get
themselves and their followers in office

CHECK A GROWING DANGER.


One of the many evils that now
threaten our national life, and also our
most sacred religious interests, is the
growing sentiment, in certain quarters,
in favor of concentrating authority and
power in the hands of few men,. The
idea is the Capitalization of money
power, of church power. The policy is
to take the control of things out of the
hands of the many and put it into the
hands of select few. When this pol
icy is fully developed it will give us
few money kings who will absolutely
control our financial interests. 1t will
change our republican form of govern
ment, if not in name, in fact, into a
monarchy, and it will convert our de-
nominationalsm into an ecclesiasticism,
with one man managing the church or
dominating a conference. or directing
the affairs of a congregation.

THE APPROPRIATIONS

This Legislature has provided literally
for public schools, and all the charitable
and educational institutions of the
State The aggregate increase in the
appropriations per year, over the ap-
propriatons made by the last Legisla-
ture, is about quarter Of million DOL
lars. 1t is a large increase-(some or
the legislators correctly think, too large)
but the objects for which the appro-
priations were made are all in line with
progress and humanity, and if the rev.
enue bill provides as much revenue as
Mr.. Wizards estimates indicate, all
these appropriations can be paid with
the States income.
Enough money was appropriated for
the Western Hospital at Morganton and
the Colored Hospital at Goldsboro TO
enable the directors and officers OF
those institutions to care for every
insane person in their respective dis
tricts if they carry out the new law
governing admission and care of the in
sane. There are very few insane in the
district Of the Central Hospital at Raj
eigh who are not already cared for, and
the increased appropriation Tor mann
tenance. will. under the new regulation,
enable the management to care for all
who may need treatment for insanity
in that district.
When the additions at Morgantcn and
Goldsboro are completed, there Will not
be a single insane person in the State
VINO ought to be treated in the State asy-
Inns who cannot be admitted to the
States hospitals The party pledge was
fully and completely kept, pressed
down and running over"
The provision for retaining the mis-
called criminal insane in the peniten-
tiary is a blot upon the beneficent leg
islation for the care of these unfor-
inmates Nobody undertook to defend
that policy. This shows healthy SEN
timent. The arrangement is temporary,
and is to lest only until better arrange
ments can be made.
The appropriations for education
show that the spirit OF devotion to edu-
cation was in keeping with the Demo
cratic platform and the Governors in
augural address. First of all the ap-
preparation for public schools-$2OO 'OOo-

DIPLOMACY MAY
INDUCE ILLNESS
Secretary Of the German
Treasury Suddenly
Stricken.

BERLIN, Dec. 9.-Dr. Hasse, the Pan
German leader in the Reichstag, has been
defeated, at least temporarily, in his pur-
pose of bringing the Edinburgh speech of
British Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
before the Reichstag by. the sudden and
possibly diplomatic illness of DR.. Won
Thielmann, the Secretary of the Treasury.
1t was DR.. Hasses intention to start dis
cussion on Chamberlains remarks during
an Interpolation to-day on the subject of
veterans pensions. The promised sensa-
ton is postponed by the announcement
that Dr. Won Thielmann, who was to have
replied to the Interpolation is suffering
from influenza.
Count Won Ballestrem, the president of
the Reichstag, announced to that body to-
day that Dr. Won Thielmann had suddenly
become severely i'll and was unable to re-
ply to the Interpolation on the subject
of the veterans pensions. Consequently,
after few droning speeches on the tariff
bill, the house adjourned.
Count Won BuloW may reply to an in
terPellation concerning the situation in
Poland tomorrow, although this is far
from certain. 1t is certain, however, that
the Government is much veXed over the
recent uproar in Poland and the adverse
tons of Polish parents who mobbed
PruSSian school teachers who had hogged
Polish children for refusing to learn the
catechiSm and prayers in German. -,'i
Two thousand Poles met in Berlin last
night and held a demonstration against
the Government The chairman of the
meeting, Herr Wrobel affirmed that the
recent Polish agitation at Warsaw and
Lemberg' was proof of the continued
solidarity of the Polish people, whether
the subjects of Germany, Russia or Aus
tria. The efforts of Prussia forcibly to
Germanize it's slices of Poland were fall
ing to-day, he said, as they had always
failed.
The Polish agitation, although afford
ing good material for the British news
paper correspondents, who are making a
good deal out of it, is not considered acute
by the best observers here.
