Douglas, at Freeport, Ill, in 1855 said
Judge Seymour d. Thompson, the eminent
lawyer, formerly judge of the st. Louis
Court of Appeals, to Times reporter, at
the Ebbitt.
That scene made such a vivid imprint
on my memory that l recall il as clearly

with his grotesque gesticulation: | can
hear the impassoned tones of Douglas as
he hurled the epithet, Black RepUb-

voice could convey; l can see the vast
concourse of eager. excited people who
realized that great issues were at stake
and that history was being made by these

DIR. EUGENE GRlssOM.

The suicide of Dr. Eugene Grissom is
a pathetic ending of a long life. There
is no doubt that his mind was unsettled
There is deep pathos in the thought that
one who had given the best years of his
life to the treatment of the insane should
in his old age fall a victim of suicide
in an hour of mental alteration.
For more than twenty years DR.. Girls
som held high place in his profession and
among experts in the treatment of the
mind. AS public speaker, as diplomat, as
leader in shaping thought he held proud
position in North Carolina. Every citi-
zen of the State will hear with deep re-
gret of his death by his own hand, and
will sorrow that one who had brought
the light of reason to many a clouded
brain should succumb to disease he
had so successfully treated in other
years.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-07-29

The temptation to men in public life
to be influenced by the wealthy and the
influential is almost irresistible. How
many bold champions of the people in
one or two terms of office-holding be-
come the plant agents of influential
agencies that desire special privilege! The
best medicine that can be administered
to such is to retire them to private
life with a dull, cold thud. Next to that
the best medicine to administer is that
which the Republican convention of Wis
consin administered to Senator SpOoner
last week. He had allied himself with
the tax-dodging railroads that were fight
ing the State administrators just
schemes of taxation, and his Federal
office holders had been very active in
the same direction. At the State conven-
tion he was refused an endorsement
which he sought and a resolution was
adopted endorsing his candidacy for re-
election to the Senate provided he would
come out and stand latfooted on the
State platform, which endorses the
methods of taxation he has been an
tagonizing. That was humiliating to the
most capable administration leader on
the floor of the Senate, but it was the
kind of medicine he needed.

GOOD FOLKS FURNISH LITTLE
NEWS.

People who live regular and orderly
Few papers publish births. Those that
do chronicle the birth in two or three
lines. After that event, the well regu-
lated boy goes to school and has his
diversions, but, unless he is baseball
or football expert, his name does not get
in the papers until he graduates or goes
into business. few lines suffice for
that Then when he marries, his name
gets in the papers again but in a very
subordinate way. And then if he is hon
est and Industrious and moderately sue
cessful his name does not get in the
papers again until he dies.
There is no news in steady going

once. There is much truth in this, but

to print about good men and drawing les
sons from their lives for the encourage
ment of youth.

NO NEED TO APPEAL TO THE
PRESIDENT.

Representatives of the Anti-Imperialist
League have sent a long letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, commencing the retir-
ing of General Smith but urging that he
be not made the scape-g goat for many
other officers who have been guilty OF
robbery, torture and murder in the Phil
ippines. The letter is signed by Charles
Francis Adams (chairman), Carl Schurz.
Edwin Burrit Smith, Moorfield Storey,
and Herbert Welsh-names that are hon
ored everywhere for noble and unselfish
civic service. The long and full state
ment of the wrongs by American officers
in the Philippines closes thus:
Eve find ourselves, though with deep
regret, compelled to take issue with
you on one important point. In your
review of July II you say Almost uni
Versally the higher officers have so borne
themselves as to supply the necessary
check over acts of an improper char
acter by their subordinates.' We, on
the contrary, have found ourselves COM
relled to the belief that the acts re-
generalization more all-perversive. We
hold ourselves ready to direct YOUR at
tention to concrete cases, the investiga-
ton of which would demonstrate the fol-
lowing criminal acts, contrary TO all rec
ognized rules and usages of war. on the
part of officers and soldiers of the Uni
ted States:

and terrible crimes against women.
go The infiiction of death on other
parties on the strength of evidence elici-
ted through torture"
1t IS safe to say that Mr.. Roosevelt
will not ask for the concrete cases"
His action in the General Smith case
shows that it was a mere nominal pun
ishment. Writing of it, the Jacksonville
Times Union says
1.-THE punishments that follow convic-
ton show to what extent the people may
expect it to be redeemed. General Smith
issued an order to Major Waller to kill
all the natives of Samar over ten years
ii.
was 'admonished by the President, and
retired eighteen months before his time.
BY his retirement he was relieved of
eighteen months work and deprived of
$4,000 Of the salary he would have
earned if he had not been retired. Dur
ing the eighteen months he will still get
in round numbers $4,000, and he will get
it for doing nothing instead of getting
$3.50 for eighteen months work
"Our dispatches today tell of the con-
viction of Major Glenn and Lieutenant
Gaujot and the acqulttal of Lieutenant
Cook. Major Glenn had the water cure
administered to the Presidente of Igbares
and was sentenced to one months sus-
pension-that is, given one months va
cation-and fined $50. Lieutenant Gauiot
administered it to three natives, and is
to be suspended three months and to
lose $50 from his salary each month

natives shot, was acquitted"

THE DEMAND IS REASONABLE.

THE DEMAND is REASONABLE.
| Asheville Citizen.
That the Republican party does not
propose to accept the Amendment as a
| final settlement of the negro issue in this
State is shown in many ways:
First, by the open, emphatic and re-
peated declaration of prominent Repub-
licans that il is to be tested in the
courts and set aside.
Second. by the manner in which Sena-
tor Pritchard clapped hand over his
mouth and took to the tall timber when
confronted by the direct question from
Senator Simmons.
Third, by such resolutions as the fol-
lowing, adopted recently by the Swain
county Republican convention:
1--WE denounce the Democratic party
of North Carolina for having disfran-
chised 90 900 white men by the iniquitous
tax provisions in the so-called constitu-
tional amendment
The Haywood county Republicans also
denounced the amendment after hearing
speeches from Senator Pritchard and ex-
Congressman Settle.
Fourth, by the conniption fits that the
dNoWSu 1NCpupllSdn pdpClo gnu IAO oO-
called independent" papers are throw
ing over the demand of the Democratic
State convention that the Republican
party define its position on the amend
ment.

MR.. BRYAN AND 1904.

Mr.. Bryan's visit to New England has
caused some of the newspapers to start
the report that the tour was undertaken
to promote Mr.. Bryan's candidacy for a
third nomination.
To ascertain the Democratic view of
the present situation, and that which is
likely to be presented in 1904, the New
York Herald has asked the members of
the Democratic National Committee to
express their opinions on Mr.. Bryan's
standing in the party and what they re-
gard as the leading issues in the coming
Congressional campaign.
Answers received from many of the
committee show general belief that
while Mr.. Bryan must be considered a
very important factor he is not at all
likely to be again nominated for Prcsi-
dent, nor is it generally believed he de-
sires to be nominated.
