THE sO.CALLED EXPERTS.


| Governor Jarvis does not approve of
the News and Observers statement
that the evidence of the experts is in
| competent. In fact, he is so much
! opposed to it that he felt called upon
yesterday morning to rebuke what he
deemed was an attempt ito influence
worth while to rebuke the radical and
railroad sheets that have used every
possible argument and epithet to in
f1uence the court against impeachment.
This paper is not seeing to influence
the court. 1t knows that the members
of that body are mon of honor and
anything except the law and the evil
dence We are seeking to give to the
thousands of good men throughout the
State, who do us the honor to daily
read this paper, daily account of the
trial with such comments thereon as
we think will throw light upon the trial.
be our duty to comment upon the un-
i heard of and unprecedented course
which the lawyers for the impeached
judges are employing in an attennnt ito
influence the court. Nobody knows
better than those learned gentlemen
that the court must take notice of the
laws of the State and the decisions of
its courts, and that the testimony of
lawyers as to what the law is in their
opinion is wholly incompetent. We do
them the justice to say that they do
not expect the expert" testimony to
be admitted. They, of course, would
like to have dozen or two prominent
lawyers testify that they thought
Judges Furches and Douglas had not
committed an act worthy of impeach-
ment But, in the absence of securing
such incompetent testimony they hope
in their attempt to secure it's admission
to Influence the court" and make pub
lie sentiment in favor of their clients.
1T can do no harm" they argue, Ito
get this evidence in if we can; if we
fail, the fact that we bring leading
lawyers to Raleigh and advertise their
presence and their views-that is almost
as good as getting in the testimony.
AS to some, it is better
AS to most of the experts summon
ed we do them the credit to say that
they are lawyers of ability and charac-
ter, who are here in response to a sum-
mons and will, if called, give their opin-
ion as it has been formed. But if there
is no end to summoning expert" tes-
timony, what is to prevent the defence
and prosecution from summoning every
lawyer in the State here? And by a
tedious dragging out of the case make
it interminable?
With all respect to the experts" we
do not hesitate to say that their opin-
ion has nothing to do with the case, that
it is incompetent evidence and that
it's introduction would be such de-
parture from judicial procedure as to
shock the lawyers of the State
Most of "BusbeeG Volunteers have
retired. "Bynums Experts" will be
sent home if the Court of Impeachment
follows the unbrolxen precedent in trials
in this State.

F. H. Busbee got $1E and Cook and
Green got $S1 for representing the
Treasurer and Auditor in the Theophi-
lus White case. 1t appears that the
State spent $156 in order to help White
get the 1891. 1t does not appear that
their clients really wished them to
fight the claim. The lawyers did what
their clients wanted done, but the fees
ought to have been paid by White.

The Wilmington Messenger declares
that North Carolina has not had novel
of responsibility published in perhaps
quarter of a century, and not without
some reason, announces it's skepticism
in advance of new novels in these days
of 'noxious and nauseous indorse-
ment." We wish our contemporary, SO
widely informed about our native litera-
ture, would indicate to us the most no.
table of North Carolina novels and it's
opinion of each. OF course we would
include only such works as have been
given issuance in book form but would
be pleased indeed to know which of
these, whether of colonial, ante bellum
or postbellum date, Z would be worth
ones while to read.-Gastonia Gazette.

CRAIG's IMPEACHMENT SPEECH
Wilmington Messenger.

w lO1l OhS0oSAASS
We have read what he said so well,
so strikingly, so eloquently, SO impress
sively, and with exceeding admiration
and satisfaction 1t is the most fasci-
mating, appealing, commanding speech
of the whole. 1t should be read by
every Democrat. 1t brings out most
graphically and earnestly forgotten
facts. 1t refreshes the memory and
shows convincingly TO what dangers
the people have been subjected and
how near one branch of the State gov
eminent was practically nullified and
destroyed by the Republican judiciary.
1t is a great speech for these parlous
times, when there is divided Demo-
cracy and a watchful remnant of black
Radicalism. 1t is impossible to treat
the speech as it really merits. Copious
quotations would but insufficiently i'm
part to the readers the sweep, force and
impressiveness of the ardent and elo-
quent speaker. 1t is the most import
ant speech we have read in twenty
years 1t should be scattered broadcast
throughout North Carolina.
What he so eloquently says of the Hol-
den trial and the noble Vance should be
read. There is no little that is finely
attractive, even eloquent, but we have
sought not so much such passages in
our limited space, as to bring out a
few points of marked interest and i'm
poftance No man of intelligence can
read the speech without eagerness I'm
enemy of the rights Of freemen.
