INDICTMENT OF REGISTRARS.

ASHSNllie CltlZSU.
The indictment of the two Asheville
registrars, Bumgardner and Farrar. is
simply another effort to give standing to
Moody's attempt to steal Gudger's seat
in Congress and in no other respect is it
to be taken seriously.
All the facts point Enthusiastically to this
conclusion.
1t was currently repored among the
Republicans here when the Federal court
met two weeks ago that there were to
be indictments. The Citizen heard them
and inquired of District Attorney Holton
as to their truth. He denied positively
any knowledge of such steps being taken
in Asheville. He said:
There have been no bills of indictment
found against any registrars or election
officers in this section, and l do not
know that any will be. Very strong and
conclusive evidence will be required be-
fore any bills of indictments of this kind
are made"
But Mr.. Holton reckoned without TAX
ing into consideration the requirements
of Mr.. Moody's falling political fortunes.
No sooner had this interview in The
Citizen been printed than pressure began
fer the bringing of indictments in this
county. So great was this pressure that
we find Mr.. Holton three days later in
the grand jury room in capacity of prose-
cutting attorney and urging the finding of
true bill. Nothing that has happened
heretofore in Mr.. Moodys contest quite
so conclusively shows his desperation,
Ind likewise the frail foundation on
which is built his hope of obtaining a
seat to which he has not been elected and
therefore to which he is not entitled.
The Citizen has believed all along and
still believe that these cases will never
come to trial. They are brought solely
for effect-to give color of truth to
Moody's claim that there was found in
this district-and none know better than
those who are bringing them that there
is no real evidence on which to base
them.

office-seeking. until many good and SUI

was that the foremost Americans held
tn the dictum of Henry Clay, that ONCE
should seek the man, but that is an eX-
nloded theory, a discarded idea, and
man who should act upon it now would
be regarded as a simple fellow, If not

1t seems a little strange that in less
than two months after the conosolida-
ton of the two great trusts tobacco
should take a tumble of about 20 per
cent, yet this is the case today. And
if it was not the case that the farmers
have sold great part of the crop much
harm would result. 1t teachers, how
ever, that our farmers must be careful
in the future as to planting large crops
of tobacco. 1t is dangerous. The trusts
are surely going to regulate their prices
to suit themselves, and they will GER
tainly take advantage of large crops to
pay small prices.

RUSSELL and BUTLER EXPOSED
AS UNWORTHY OFFICIALS.

Ihe people or North Carolina VIII
never know from how much of wrong
they escaped by the defeat CT the Re-
publican party in North Carolina in 1900.
They know they put peace in the place
OF lawlessness; they know that the blight
of evil and ignorant rule ended. They
know that race antagonisms and all
forms of violence ceased. These and
other blessings could be seen and felt.
But of the further wrongs and corrup-
tion in contemplation from which they
escaped they do not know. Nobody will
ever know.
Every few weeks some fresh wroEg
contemplated, some corruption uncovered
adds to the gratitude which the people
of North Carolina feel for the deliverance
from Radical rule. The 1859 gang stole
more money, but if the 1863 gang had
been given another lease of power, it
may be well doubted if the carpet baggers
of 1859 would have far surpassed the
disgraceful gang at the helm from '95 to
49, -
A few days ago we printed an out
line of the evidence given by ex-senator
Butler in the South Dakota litigation
against North Carolina which shocked the
conscience of the State. We refrained
from making any comment until the full
testimony could be secured. Elsewhere in
today's paper is printed the full evidence
y of Ex-Governor Russell and ex-senator
Butler with reference to the part they
have taken and are taking in the litiga
tion against the State. 1t is worse than
the outline indicated. There is not room
to doubt that it proves, to state it mildly,
that they were unworthy public officials.
having greater zeal to help few holders
Of partially repudated bonds to collect
an unjust debt than for the interests of
the people of the State who had put
them on the watch-tower to guard their
rights. The admissions they make may
have defense in the forum of casuistry.
But there is no explanation or defense
that will justify the course they have
pursued. They either devised or encour-
aged the steps that have been taken If
they had been true sons of North Caro-
lima and worthy officials, instead of lend
ing themselves to find devious way
to help extort an unjust alleged debt, they
would have been Jealous to oppose the
hot hoIy +hn
holders and railroad spectators in de-
manding the pound of flesh.
The fact that the men, seeking to an
null the solemn and just action of the
Legislature of 1875, approached or nired
them while they held exalted public posi-
tions, shows the low estimate placed upon
their patriotism and devotion to duty.
The record set down in their own testi-
mony will do as much to damn Russell
and Butler as their political record. In
fact their conduct in this matter as dis
closed in this evidence, is the blacklist
page in the black book of their career.
II the Republicans had won in 1900, the
suit by South Dakota would have been
hut the precursor of others that would
have followed. By the connivance of un-
worthy officials, the fioodgates would
have been opened, and the horde of
owners of carpet-bag bonds would have
been encouraged to begin second Little
field raid upon the Treasury.
