strictions upon the ballot We wonder If
the Post favors an unrestricted hal1ot IN
North Carolina now and in the entire
South? This is 1901. 1t is more than 100
years since Mr.. Jefferson favored the
property test. When we were young in
North Carolina only men who owned six
ty acres of land could vote for a candi-
date for the State senate. 1t took q
good Democrat, the late Stephen A..
Douglas, of Illinois, to come into North
Carolina and put stop to that anti
quated injustice and discrimination
against poverty. Thousands of The best
educated men in the State did not have
or hold one acre of land. There is a new
edition out Of Mr.. Jefferson's chief writ
ings, and if the Post should study them
it might have more rational and Just
opinion of the greatest political genius
yet born in America-the wisest and SAT-
est of ali Southern politicians of all par
ties. 1t was this great statesman who
mainly gave 10 the country the great
conservative, saving principle of State
rights. He was fifty years ahead OF his
fellows. Not infallible. not universal, he
was highly endowed With prescence and
wisdom and saving common sense. We
have observed for a half century that
men reared in the Hamiltonian strong
government, President life, a Sem
ator-f or-life principle, but rarely have
been favorable to or appreciative of
Thomas Jefferson. His fame will live TO
be the nope of The people when his defa-
mers are forgotten under the huge pail

THE BAR AGAINST IT.

The Morning Post yesterday, in tanning
headlines, sought to create public SEN
timent in favor of Russells appointing
himself Chief Justice. 1t paraded list
of lawyers. forty-four in number, and
declared that the expressions of those
forty four showed that Russell was
strongly endorsed by many lawyers"
as successor to the late Chief Justice
Faircloth An examination of the names
on this petition shows that nearly every
one of them of any prominence is either
an attorney of the Southern Railroad or
has been paid big fees by Governor Rus
sell during his term of office. Quite a
number of the forty-four are Republicans,
snct as Judge Boyd, Judge Purnell, Judge
Montgomery, Judge Undertake, H. f..
Sewell and others. The few lawyers who
are not, or have not been in the employ
of Russell or the Southern Railroad
have been induced to sign the petition
on the representation to them that il
Governor Russell did not appoint himself,
he would appoint a worse man. This OF
course would be impossible. We say
without hesitation, that the bar of the
State. with less than twenty exceptions
outside of paid attorneys, are opposed
to the elevation of Governor Russell. 1t
would be the most scandalous and dis
graceful proclamation of the judiciary ever
known in any State. In denouncing the
suggested appointment, which was orr
ginated and is being pushed by the agents
of the Southern Railroad and the To-
bacco Trust, the News and Observer
voices the sentiment of ninety-nine out
of every hundred members of the bar
in North Carolina.

THE LATE GOVERNOR BROGDEN

In the death of Ex-Governor Curtis II.
Brogden the State loses kindly and pa
riotic son. Elevated to the Governor
ship, through the death of Governor Cald-
well. he sought in that high office to be
a faithful and honest official, and while
he was not a man of great ability, his
term as Governor was marked by no
scandal and no wrong doing After his
retirement as Governor, he served two
years in Congress and since then has
been in private life. He was of kind and
simple taste, and confding nature and
in his old age was impoverished because
he had loaned his money to parties who
would not pay him.
1t is singular that the beginning of the
new century should witness the death
in one week of Chief Justice Faircloth
and Ex-Governor Brogden, the two lead
ing Republicans and the two best Repub-
licans in eastern North Carolina. 1t
was by Governor Progden's appointment
that Judge Faircloth originally obtained
his place upon the bench, as an associate
justice.

SPIRIT OF The PRESS.
THE PLANTERS WHIP HAND.

New York Commercial
However much trade and expert opin-
ions on the movement in cotton values
may vary from day to day, they are not
widely divergent on the general PROPOSE
ton that this is a ''ten-cent-cotton year"
1t is plainly not an ordinary or an aver
age year.
In addition to the crop conditions favor
ing higher prices this season, the South
ern planters have in general shown an
unusual degree of caution in marketing
the produce. Probably 90 per cent. OF the
seasons entire cotton crop has been sold
since late September, but this has been
manifestly due more to the spinBe1s'
eagerness to buy than TO the farmers
desire to turn the staple into cash. There
have certainly been times in recent weeks
when the temptation to rush the cotton
forward for big money must have been
almost irresistible-could not have been
resisted, probably, in ordinary years. To
The credit of the Southern farmer it must
be said that he has not lost his head and
spoiled his profits in this rather remark
able cotton season of 1900.
The Houston Post is doubtless fully
justified in its position when it assures
the farmers that there is now nothing in
sight to warrant lower prices, and adds
this advice: amy effort to place spot
cotton below IL cents-middling basis,
Houston or News Orleans-should cause
those owning the remnant of the crop to
refuse to make sales.
The market for cotton goods does not,
at any rate, disclose any signs that should
make the farmer weaken. He is certain
ly more justified, says the Post, an
holding his staple for 10 cents this season
than the manufacturer was in forcing
prices down to 5 cents two years ago.
The oversupply then was not so notice
able as is the undersupply now. And con-
ditions all around lead our Houston con
temporary to this conclusion:
"A surplus of cotton can be easily pro-
vided for. but deficit can be met only
| by making prices so high as to force a
curtailment of consumption. The pres
ent quotations for cotton goods make il
profitable for spinners to pay 10 cents
| for the Souths cotton, and the short
crop, small surplus and excellent demand
| Justify farmers in asking that price fol-
what remains unsold."
| There may not be corner" in cotton
before spring, but it is reasonably safe
to predict that the Southern farmers
won't sit up nights to prevent one. The
| bears" can hardly count on them this
| year to do the folly act

SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.

If Russell should be guilty of the crime
of prostituting the Supreme bench OF
the State by making himself Chief JUS
tice, it will be so scandalous and dis
graceful an act as to demand his i'm
peachment. There is evidence enough
to impeach him as Governor if the South
ern Railway political bosses would permit
it's use. That is the secret of their own
ership of Russell.
Ii would be healthy thing to impeacf
Russell anyhow, but if he should dickel
and get the Chief Justiceship, it would BIZ
doubly necessary.

TWO EXAMPLES.

The coming Legislature viii take up for
consideration the best method of inpos-
ing franchise, license or privilege tax
upon such quasi-public corporations as
express companies, ferries, telegraph and
telephone companies and railroads. We
publish elsewhere in today's paper two
very valuable communications on this
important matter, one from the pen of
Mr.. Chas. H. Mebane, State Superinten-
dent of Schools and one from the pen of
Mr.. H. c. Brown, Secretary of the Cor
poration Commission.
To the proper consideration of this mat
ter the highest wisdom of the legislators
will be needed. The facts and figures
presented in these two papers will give
flood of light and much important infor
nation.
We have made some figures on the
method of taxation employed in Con-
nacticut and Delaware to ascertain how
much revenue would be derived from
railroads if the same tax laws in oper
alton in those States were in operation
in North Carolina with this result:
Were the roads in North Carolina tax
ed on same basis as in Connecticut, the
tax derived would be for all purposes,
State, county and towns, as follows:
i per cent on low estimate of
market value of stock. ......... $3.50 900
/ per cent on funded debt...... 47S00O
Total tax ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $S2S 900
Same tax levy as on other property
If taxed on basis of Delaware, tax re-
ceived in North Carolina would be for all
purposes, State, county and towns, as
follows:
10 cents on each passenger car
ried - ...............$23 8, 100
10 per cent net earnings. ...,... 277,00O
Y of one per cent cash value of
stock ............. ............ 175000
Total tax $3.50 100
Same tax levy as on other property
Under the assessment in North Caro-
lima, as made by the Corporation Com
mission, and acquiesced in by the rail-
roads last week, the total tax paid by
the railroads is $425, GOO as against $780,
$50 privilege tax in Delaware, and $685.
000 privilege tax in Connecticut These
are small States and no "Populistic
ideas" prevail in them, but they do not
burden the small taxpayer to let the
great corporations go free of just taxa

titude of this paper against the scandal
Gus appointment of Governor Russell of
himself as Chief Justice. The only an
swer to this is that it is not true. The

reach out beyond the shoulders. The

year, with its big revers and collar and
gauntlet cuffs. Made up in colonial or
royal blue, with darker shade for the
collar, cuffs. revers and immense peck
ct flaps. with stitched edge OF white
around the velvet, the pattern is I'M
usually handsome for slender figure,
as are all skirted coats. Big white
pearl buttons should fasten this coat,
and 1t should be worn with lace jabot
and lace in the sleeves.

bled and very much stitched and trim
