SENATOR BURROWS FOR A PEG.
PIES PARTY PRINCIPLE.

SENATOR BURROWS FOR A PEO-
PILES PARTY PRINCIPLE.
Senator Burrows has given to the
Washington Post a carefully pre-
pared interview of United States
Senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie. Senator Burrows, who will be
chairman Of the Senate Committee
on privileges and elections during
the next Congress, announces that
he will not only propose an amend
ment to the Constitution providing
for the election Of Senators by the
people, but that he will in the mean.
time also offer q bill which will cure
some Of the present evils of dead
locks.
We are glad to see Senator Bur
rows taking stand for this correct
principle. Within the last year ev-
cry principle in the Peoples Party
platform has been openly advocated
by one or more prominent Senators
or representatives of the two old
parties, except the government own
ership of railroads, and it will not
be five years before many Of them
will be advocating that very impor-
tant and necessary reform. Senator
Burrows interview will be found
in another column Of this issue.

In commenting on Attorney General
Gilmer's opinion ~ 10 whether the
Income tar Law applies To state OH
GERS. says;
aAtaorney General Gilmer has de-
cided that II Ii unconstitutional TO
tax the income Of state officer. The
machinist or engineer who Il fortu-
nate enough TO earn salary Of more
than thousand dollars must pay
tax on all over one thousand, but II
your fellow citizens have been kind
enough 10 favor you with their suf-
ffage and made you . state officer
no difference IL your salary is ~, 0oo
. year, you need not pay any income
tax. This may be good law, bat We
insist that 1t Is not just, q species OF
class legislation, and Ii there Is nc
way Of applying 1t TO all then the
sooner Ii Is repealed the better"
1t Is not necessary for Us to con-
Germ ourselves 50 much - to whether
this Is good law or bad law, or where
the fault lies, but one thing We dc
know and that is that this law wa
enacfed by the legislature demo
cratic) and Is construed by the At
torney General (democnticl and thu
people will have to dance to thu
music whether good or bad, just o.
unjust. 1t will be seen from clos
Examination Of the law that q goo(
many nice little turns are made
whereby the soft nests which thu
politicians were clamoring into OF

sIons or the Legislature create large
number Of new Offices with the un.
derstanding that the governor should
ut once, upon the adjournment Of the
legislature, All all Of these new Offices
with certsin members Of the legis-
lature who were pets Of the governor
or members Of his political machine.
1t ought not TO be necessary In
any state I'm this Union TO insert .
provision OF this sort In the State
Constitution TO prevent such dis
graceful things from happening, but
from sad and sickening experience,
there Is q crying need In North
Carolina for the adoption Of such &
provision to the Constitution. The
last General Assembly Of North
Carolina created more new offices
carrying large amounts Of salary, to
pay for which the taxes have had
| to be raised, than has been done by
any legislature since the carpet-bag
gers were In control. The Legislature
not only did this, but there was al
understanding with the Governor
that az soon as the legislature ad
tjourned the members of the legisla
ture should be appointed to thes'
fat Jobs which they had created TO
themselves. The Governor did no
appoiht all the members of tn
Legislature to these new Offices, blu
he appointed members Of his pOliti
cal machine. 1t is noticeable tina
every man thot he appointed vote
in favor Of convicting the judge
and were all high-up members Il
the Simmons redshirt machine.
| In the past 1t has been very rar
for any democratic paper in the stat
to criticise anything that the demo
cratic machine was guilty of, bu
the conduct of the Governor an
the legislature in this matter hs
been 80 outrageous that number
of democratic papers have had th
courage to open their mouths pull
licly and denOunce the matter as
crying, sickening shame and disgrat
to the state.

REDsHIRTS IN NEW YORK AND IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

IN ~ u w AOHN nv ~ AA$
NORTH CAROLINA.
A few days ago a negro appeared
on the streets of New York city
dressed out in q typical North Caro-
lima red shirt, as worn by members
of the Simmons Machine during the
last campaign. The New York Sun,
in reporting the affair, says that he
was at once Kissed and hoOted by a
number of persons Oh the streets,
and boys gathered around him and
began to pelt him with various OBJ
jects that they could secure. Soon
the negro was forced to break and
run and a bowling mass Of people
followed him until at last he es-
capped down some dark, black alley.
THE CAUCASIAN wants to repect-
fully inquire if a negro has not as
much right to wear red shirt on
the streets of New York as white
specimen Of the Simmons machine
has to wear a red shirt ON the high
ways and hedges of North Carolina
1t is not reported that the redshirt
negro was armed with guns and pis-
| tolls and was engaged in shooting
promiscuOusly about the streets OF
New York, as the members of the
Simmons redshirt machine did in
this State. Neither is it reported
that the negro was drunk or acting
in a lawless, revolutionary manner
1t is not charged that the negro had
stolen anybody's vote or was con
templating that theft of votes OF
anything else.
While we admit that a negro claG
in red shirt, which is symbol o.
anarchy and bloodshed, is not {
pleasing spectacle in the eyes of thu
law abiding people Of New York CT
lty, yet we submit that he was emit
tied to more consideration than HI
would have been had he been en-
gagged in the lawless conduct which
characterized the actions of the Sim
mons machine in North Carolina. I
that negro really meant any dishon
esty, mischief, bloodshed or anarchy
by wearing that red shirt, then h
might come down to North Carolin'
and join the negro wing of the Sim
mons redshirt machine which wa
organized during the last Senat0ria
primary in Newbern, North Caro-
lima.

mons. II Ii q terrible commentary
upon the low condition 10 which the
leadership Of the democratic party
| in this state has fallen. Some good
people may not have known the
man then rs they know him now.
But when this man, just being cleo
ted to the Senate, was seen hanging
around the State Senate chamber In
close consultation with the sworn
jurors in the great impeachment
trial Of the judges, when 1t became
known that the prosecution Of the
Judges was rested for while so that
this man Simmons might return
from Washington and be here to
look after the jury, as Is believed by
many, and that he did come and, SC
far IS observation and appearances
would indicate, did use not only his
personal influence, but prostituted
the influence which attaches to the
high Office to which he had beer
elected, in trying to dishonor and
disgrace two Supreme Court Judges
and at the same time to eternally
dishonor the good name of the state
then it was that the eyes of hun
, dreds of good men who had beer
3 misled into supporting that mar
were opened to their sorrow ant

II One thing Is clear; that the Demo
8 cratic party must soon purge itsel

ARE JUDGES AND STATE Off.
GALS EXEMP T FROM INCOME


TAXI
Mr.. Gilmer, the State Attorney
General, has rendered decision to
the effect that the judges and heads
of the executive departments of the
State Government are not subject to
the state income tax as other citi-
zens are. He bases his decision on
that part of the State Constitution
which provides that the legislature
shall not diminish the salaries of
such officers during their term of
Office.
1t seems to US that Mr.. Gilmer
has strained the Constitution or,
rather put upon it construction
that was never intended, in order to
hold that these officers are not re-
quired to pay under the income tax
law. What the trainers of the Con-
stitution meant was that the legisla-
ture could not single out any one OF
all of these officers and reduce their
salaries during their term of Office
by specific act. OF course, if a legis-
lature could do this it would put it
in the power ola legislature to starve
out these officers or any one of them
who was in disfavor with the legis.
lature. 1t is very proper provision
that seeks to obviate this, and, in.
deed, a necessary one to preserve the
independence of the different branch
es Of the state government; but il
seems to us absurd to hold that 8
general act raising revenue to apply
to all tbs people of the state should
not apply to every salaried officer al
well as to the man who has M
salary. The legislature cannot pun
ish state officer by passing an in
come tax law, however high tn,
rate Of taxation, provided the Law
applies to everybody alike.
We regret that the Attorney-Gen
eral was mislead in making such al
IerrOneOus decision We trust tina
he will soon see his error and correc
the same. If he does not, surel.
the public will see to it that it i
corrected in due time. The decisio,
is absurd and eternally wrong an,

1t may be, however, that the Gov

STATESMAN IS DEAD
Prince Won ifOhenl0he Gathered to
Ills Fathers.
SUSCUMBS TO WEAKNESS OF AGE
Was Well known German D:plo-
mat, Houored By the People and
Loved By the Emperor.

Berlin, By Cabie.-Priuce Won Ho-
aenlohe. formerly German Imperial
Chancellor, died at Ragatz. Switzer-
land, Saturday evening Prince H9-
henlohe's death was generally unex-
pected here, as he left Berlin several
weeks ago apparently in good health.
although his increasing weakness was
evident. The Prince arrived at Rag
atz extremely exhausted. His death
is attributed to the weakness Of oil
age. The arrangements for the trans
pOrtation of the body to Germany AM
for the obsequies are not yet definite
ly determined upon. but it is expected
that the remains will be conveyed to
the HOhenlOhe ancestral home, at
Schillingsfuerst, Batavia, where the
family vault is situated and where the
body Of Prince Won HOhenlOhes wife
is inferred. 1t is also expected thar
Chancellor Won Bulow will break his
seaside rest and attend the funeral.
Although Emperor William has fixed
his departure on his trip to Norway
for Monday next. it is deemed likely
that His Majesty Will once more post
pone the time of his starting on his
the obsequies. Owing to Emperor
Williams relationship to Prince Won
HOhenIOhe
