THE VOTE
The general public has taken such
keen and Intelligent interest in the
i'm peachment trial that since the
verdict-snd a separate vote was
had on each articie-there have been
many requests for copies Of the ar
ticles Of Impeachment. This Ii
good sign. 1t shows that the public

of their Office as members of the
said Supreme Court of North Caro-

Removed Stomach to Get Rid of
Cancer.


New York, April 2 Jacob Wych
mann, the German whose stomach
was removed in the German hospital
at Williamsburg last week to relieve
him of q cancer, had such bad turn
last night that it is feared he will
soon die. At the hospital today it
was said that Wychmann's condition
was precarious.
Everything went we'll at frst,"
said = nurse, "and the physicians
were beginning to think that the op-
GRAFTON would be successful. Even
Wychmann told us he was feeling
we'll. This continued up until last
night. Then he seemed to get rest
less and q fever set in, and nobody

TIME FOR CONGRESS TO ACT.

In another column will DO found
An Interview with SOnator Burrows,
OF Michigan, clipped from the
Washington Post. Upon the retire
ment OF Senator Chandler from the
Sonatp, Senator Burrows becomes
chairman OF the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. To say
the least, his interview is not only
interesting, but very significant.
It will be noticed that he admits
that Congress has during the last 20
wears either shut it's eyes to or
winked at the various more or less
unconstitutional Acknowledgement
schemes proposed In the South
where there Was In fact or proba
bly, might be what is called negro
domination" 1t will also be no.
ticed that he says that the time has
now come when Congress can no
longer shut It's eyes to what has
been in North Carolina aud to what
Ia being attempted in Maryland.
He very properly says that there
has not been and cannot be any ne
gro domination In these two States
where the negro population IS less
than one third OF tho white pOpu
lation, aud that, therefore, disfran
chisement schemes inauguratsd for
such States are nothing more OF
less than attempts to perpctuate d
minority In power. Senator Bur.
rows say that the Democratic pol
iticians In these States have been
emboldened by the tolerence Of Con.
gress in the past to do that which
will threaten the very foundation
of the government, II permitted tC
20 unchecked and uncorrected ; anC
that acknowledgements In thes.
States Ia not race or sectional
matter, but 1t is simply one factor
attempting to tic the hands Of an
other for no other purpose than K
secure the spoils Of office and power
for themselves. He further says
that II this thing can be done In
North Carolina and Maryland Their,
IL Just as much reason why 4
should be done in Indiana anC
Michigan or Illinois, In fact, In any
State, aud done regardless of tn,
number Of the negro voters tina
may be In such State.
There Ia nothing that The eau
CAsIAN is now or has been In tn,
past more stronly opposed to thar
what Is commonly known rs Fed
ersl interference In State affairs
but the Constitution Of the United
States places certain imperativ,
duties upon Congress, and we agre,
with Senator Burrows that the flag
rant defiance OF the Fundamental
law OF the land by the Simmonl
redshirt machine In North Car oil
ma is Of such n nature that Con
gress can no longer close its eyes
to its plain duty. Without any In
reference in state affairs, Congress
can at least deny seat in eithe
House of Congress to a man who
has not only been elected by tramp
ling upon the Constitution ane
laws Of the United States, but hal
also by fraud, force and crime pre-
vented just expression Of the will
Of the people; and surely 1t will
deny seat to the man who is tn,
head conspirator in such revolu
tionary and infamous proceedings

WAS FUNsTON's ACT CREDITA.
BILE TO HIS COUNTRYs

BILE TO HIS COUNTRYs
A few days ago General Funston,
stationed at the Philippines, capt.
ured or claims to have captured
Aguinaldo, but he confesses that
he did 1t by forged correspondence
and by entraping the Filipino lead
or while pretending to be his friend.
We take it that every American
citizen would much preferred that
this capture should have been &C.
complished by different methods.
So far as we know Aguinaldo has
been straightforward antagonist
since he learned he must occupy
that position toward our govern
ment. 30 far as we know he has
been generous and humane in his
dealings with our soldiers who have
been taken captive by his men, but
no matter what his conduct had
been, we regret that our officials In
the Philippines felt called upon to
capture him In this manner.
We notice that the English press
criticizes severely the action Of
Gen. Funston. and says that We had
to "stoop very low" to capture q
brave antagonist In which we were
most cruel toward the Filipinos.
Whether this Ia true or not, we de-
sire to remark in this connection
that 1t does not he in the mouth of
any Englishm IN to criticize our
conduct In the war In the Philip.
pines or the conduct of Gen. Fun.
ston, however much he may de-
serve censure. The conduct of
England In the Trsnsvaal will be
written down as the most unjusti-
fable, brutal and infamous war
that has stained the chronicles of
history in modern times. Whatev.
or our conduct may have been In
the Philippines it will show up
white beside England q conduct to
ward the Beers. However, We re-
greet that there IL not q greater con
trast than there is between Eng
lands course towards the Boer Re-
public and ours towards the Filipi-
nos,

decided we say 80 now. But no
one can reflect upon the Supreme
Court for holding to that doctrine,
however much he may differ with
them. Everyone knows that when
the first decision Of Wood vs. Bell
amy was rendered the judgment of
the court was conscientious and
against the courts political and
personal friends. 1t was q consci-
entious judgment, and no doubt
the court would have preferred to
have rendered . different verdict.
At that time every Democratic pa.
per in the State praised the court
for It's righteous, nonpsrtisau de-.
cision. In applying the same doc
trine In subsequent cases the court
has simply been consistent, al
though some of those cases have re-
suited in putting Democrats out Of
office. In this connection let 1t be
remembered that the act for W aich
the judges were being tried was for
being consistent. The Simmons
machine wanted the court to decide
that the doctrine of Hoke vs. Hen
derson was good law when It would
put . Populist out of office, but when
q Democrat was at stake they want
ed the court to decide that IL was
not e cd doctrine.

Suit Against Mine Owner,

Denver, Jan. 2S-A special from Mont
rose says the suit against Thomas F =.
Walsh, the owner of the Camp Bird
mine, by which j. M. Stuart and W.
Apperson, of Cripple Creek seek to ad-
verse the Deadwood mill site claim, on
which Walch's valuable surface improve
men,s of the Camp Bird mine are locat
ed, came up in the United States land
office today.
There are from $250,OOO to 100000
worth of improvements on this mill site
and the contestants claim that Walsh
has not complied with the law, as the
mill site is mineral land.
The evidence produced goes to show
that the plaintiffs had no personal
knowledge of the conditions alleged in
their complaint, but depended entirely
upon hearsay and information obtained
from others.
Both sides are represented by strong
array of legal talent and the case prom
ises to be strongly contested by both
parties.

An Historic Parallel

There is something in the present
position of China which reminds one
of the terrible outbreak In Paris In
17s2, which was precipitated by the
fear of foreign invasion. Carlyle H.
Eliminates the scene with one OF his

have reused her, then, ye emigrants
and despots Of the world. France Is
reused. Long have ye been lecturing
and tutoring this poor nation, like
cruel, uncalled for pedag ogues, shak-
ing over her your feru-es of fire and

ness and Tophet; see now how ye will
deal with her. This month of Sep

of the memorable months of history,

CHRISTIANS CAUSED TROUBLE
Bishop Potter Says Christian Ma
tions Are Responsible for the
OutraQes in China.

New Haven, Jan. 27-Rishop Potter
of New York tonight laid the blame TOR
the Chinese war at the door OF the So
called civilized races whose commercial
greed he said caused it. He declared
that if he were called upon to take sides
in the matter that he would take the
part of the Chinese, and he called the
American m ssionaries the heroes of the
conflict.
In addressing an audience OF over two
thousand leading Episcopalians Of this
city at st. Pauls church, Bishop Potter
said:
"Our policy in China has not been a
happy one. The protesting Christian
engineers, capitalists, merchants and
bankers there are responsible for what
has happened the past year. II were
to defend any nation against the charge
OF un-Christian nations the past year
1 would take out brief in favor of
China.
"Nothing could have oeen more brutal
than the policies OK the Christian nations
in dealing with this pagan people. We
have trampled under foot everything the
Chinese have held most sacred. The
railroads should have passed around the
tomb OF the ancestors OF the Chinese
ruler, but we tore it down and went
through the spot where it stood.
"This is but type of the treatment
that we have given the Chinese. an illus
tration OF what they have received in
the gross at our hands and in detail as
we'll.
II was travelling in Ceylon some time
ago and happened to ask an English
speaking stranger the direction to the
steamship office. l was being carried by
jioricksha man and dismissed him, ask
ing what his charges we're. He answered:
1.-TWO annas"
"You scoundrel," yelled the English
speaking man; "the charge is only one
anna Thereupon he knocked the jim
ricksha man down. That is the way
that Christendom treats the pagan nation
| today.
| "At another time when l was in the
Orient saw an English woman jab her
umbrella into jinricksha man. heart
lily wished that had horse whip in or.
der that l might treat the woman as she
deserved,
"When we take into account all oi
these things and the outrages in China
especially the brutal passions exhibited
| by travellers to the Chinese we ought to
despise ourselves"
Bishop Potter said that our mission
aries have been the heroes OF the situa-
| tion.

c. M. White of This City Placed
Under Arrest, He Had in
His Possession Over 400
Deer Hides.

e. w. Hornbeck, chief game warden
Of the second district, now residing at
Meeker yesterday made the arrest of the

Colorado.
@, M. White, whose family resides in

ing in his possession unlawfully over

was in that section of the country, but
it was not known IN what business he
was engaged. This arrest leaves the cat
out Of the bag and grave offender
against the game laws is apprehended.
G. M. White cannot claim that he has
no knowledge Of the law as he was chief
same warden OF the state under the

said that White has been making good
money for the past two years trafficing
in deer hides in the White river country.
