about it, and l said: ''Well, don't know
what the Legislature is going to do If
We're a member of it 1 should vote
souarely for the London Bill, and my
opinion is if the members fail to dc
this the people will have right to
great disappointment and will be much
inclined to resent it.

the Legislature to take definite action
against the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors. 1t is not measure
for party politics but for the whole peo-
PIE just as the education question.
If the London Bill is adopted, as il
ought to be, I am just as sure that

WHAT THEY ARE ALL AFTER

And so Mullen must walk the plank
and give up the post office at Charlotte.
That is good The charges against him
warranted his removal, and he owes his
retention so long to certain Commercial
Democrats and boilers who saw nothing
wrong in drunken postmaster. Such is
their conception of reform and public
virtue,
But now Mullen is to go and Hiss is
to distribute the mail. If. for any rea-
is to name the man and be held RESPONSE
BILE. He will take the job himself unless
he sees something that will pay him bet
ter. Every time a so-called Commercial
Democrat runs on the Republican ticket
for a political office. you can detect the
hunger and thirst for a Federal job that
permeates his whole being. That's why
they run and that's why nobody but
Radicals and negroes, with the exception
of a few personal friends, vote for them.
Mr.. Postmaster Hiss is the logical sue
cessor of Mr. Candidate for Congress
Hiss. If there had been no Federal pat
.ronage to distribute, Mr.. Hiss would not
have been a candidate last November.

THE LONDON BILL AND THE
WATTS BILL.

Temperance legislation now holds
eral Assembly. The Watts bill, with a
favorable report, was debated all day
yesterday in the House and will come up
today as unfinished business. 1t is hoped
that vote will be reached today or to-
morrow. Mr.. Morton, Of New Hanover
who is opposed to all prohibition legis-
lation, has offered an amendment that
the bill shall not go into effect in any
county until approved by a vote of the
people. Inasmuch as under the general
law a vote can now be taken in any
county, if the amendment of Morton is
temperance legislation has been enacted.
1t would be better to defeat the bill
outright than to seem to give legisla-
ton, in response to the popular de-
nand, which has been granted years ago.
It is probable that amendments strength
,ning the Watts bill will be offered and

scales and dandruff, and the stopping

hands, for baby raShes, itehings and
chafings, in the form of baths for an
nOying irritations and infammations,

A JUST MEASURE.

In spite of the fact that some good
men thought it was wrong, as they put
it, ito compel two railroads to go into
partnership if they didn't want to do so,
and in spite of a months pernicious
lobbying by Southern Railway lobbyists,
the Fuller bill passed the Senate yester-
day. The amendments will be concur
red in by the House and the bill will be-
come law. 1t is just measure, wise
measure, necessary measure. Those
who opposed it, as we'll as those WHO
advocated it, will live to rejoice that il
has been placed upon the statute books
Hereafter when railroads disregard the
proper demands of a town there will be
q tribunal which can and will require
the erection of Union depots where they
are needed.

Under the Dome.

The News and Observer has been re-
quested to print the following petition,
which has been sent to the member from
New Hanover:
Hon. George L. Morton, House of Rep
resentatives, Raleigh, \. G:
Dear Sir: The undersigned citizens OF
Wilmington respectfully petition that
you use your best efforts to defeat leg
islation requiring Osteopaths to pass
medical examination before the STATE
Board of Medical Examiners. We see
that a bill has been introduced to this
end, and should it become a law, hu-
manity Will be made to suftcr, without
any equivalent Whatsoever
Osteopathy is a distinct science. and
has for it's basis most thorough knoWl-
edge of anatomy. In its practice neither
drugs nor surgery are employed, and TO
the uninitiated it is. classed with Massage.
If massage is helpful rather than rane-
full. osteopathy is entitled to the sane
consideration, and since it employs
neither drugs nor surgery, IN the nature
of the case it cannot be harmful. IL II
has merit, that alone can commend IT,
if without merit, it must fail WITHOUT
the least injury to mankind. II me Dill
in question is being promoted by the
Medical Fraternity. it is little to their
credit, and their opposition cannot pro-
coed from q desire to safeguard mt
manity, but is prompted by selfish
spirit of exclusion. If osteopathy is de-
barred from practice on arbitrary ana
technical grounds, dry surgery could
also be debarred. and the inestimable
service now being rendered to the al
flicted by the new science discovered and
practced by the eminent DIR. Lorenz
would be bottled up by professional
jealousy. Osteopathy knows nothing of
materia medica, and for the conclusive
reason that it does not practice it. 1t
would be as reasonable to require an
allopath to pass an examination on
Blackstone as it would he to require an
osteopath to pass on materia medica.
We have employed Osteopathy in our
own families, and know from experience
it's inestimable value. In this day of
the diffusion of knowledge, it is a re-
Election on public intelligence to impose
arbitrary restrictions on the advance
ment of science. A few years since a
similar bill was introduced in the Leg
islature of New York and quickly met
it's death through the intelligence OF
that hO1V

WILL NEVER BE ETHER.

''The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but him had fed
In a speech in the Senate yesterday
to which few listened, Senator Wood
ard, of Wilson, smarting under defeat
because the Fuller bill was supported b.
a majority of the Senate, delivered him
self of q TRADE of abuse of the News
and Observer, the people of Durham, anC
the Senators who supported the Fuller
bill. He said they were either ignorant
prejudiced or Influenced by populistic
clamor.
He spouted out some poetry about rather
being right in the minority than wrong
with a majority His lofty assumption
OF superior virtue was as ridiculous az
Citations of this paper were so vicious an6
unfounded that we purposed at one time
characterizing them as they deserved
But the action of the Senate INDICATED
this paper from his unworthy slurs. The
incident recalled scene in the House O.
Representatives at Washington, wher
Mr.. Springer was lecturing his fellow
members in a moreholy- than thou
strain. After telling of his own virtues
and their lack of bravery and courage.
as Senator Woodland did yesterday,
Mr.. Springer cried out with the same
theatrical air Senator Woodland employed
in his speech:

If one will loiter amcng the lobbies of
the Capitol at Raleigh. lie will hear quite
frequently the expression, Senatorial
courtesy" He win be- disposed at first
to think that courtesy, Senatorial or
otherwise, is a good and proper thing
But when he sees the: use made of it,
it's utter perversion, he will conclude
that the term is badly abused: and that
oftentimes it is only a cloak to cover bad
legislation
The application of tile doctrine seems
to be about this: Local affairs are left
to the judgment of the Senator from
that particular locality. For instance, If
the Senator from Bunc0mbe ask for stock
law for that county, it is presumed that
he is properly representing his people,
and is giving them what they want. But
it often happens. that this is violent
presumption. Some times counties are
misrepresented. AS an illustration Of
this, we recall that two years ago, Mr..
Frank l. Osborne was Senator from
Mecklenburg. The coed people OF that
county sent up a petition $500 strong for
a dispensary in Charlotte. Osborne OPP
posed it. and Senatorial courtesy de-
feated the VIII or the people.
The people this year are demanding
temperance legislation. the London bill
has been drawn up for the whole state,
the people are fighting for it all over
the State. We anticipate that some
Senators will want their counties eX-
cepted, and Senatorial courtesy will be
worked for all it is worth" The other
Senator's should be urged to stand hrm.
When a man is elected to legislative
Office, he represents not merely ms own
county, but the whole State. beware Oh
