The Law of the South.

The cry has been raised IN North Ca1r o-
lima of intolerance because there was
demand from the North Carolina news
papers, representing the dominant senti-
rnent of the State, that Professor Bas-
sctt be removed from Trinity College,
because of the views he expressed on the
negro question
The people Of the South are intolerant on
that subject. They will not countenance
any man who teaches social equality
between the races, for they know that II
the lines are broken down. and If mar
rage between the negro race ana the
white race be permitted. thu integrity OF
the white race will soon be destroyed
The Anglo Saxon race has never mixed
its blood with the black race, and never
Will. Nor has It recognized the black
race as its equal in any respect. Inc
Anglo Saxon race Is a ruling race, ana
II will not make compromises with the
inferior race.
Professor Bassett is entitled to his
| views on this subject and on all cues
tons, but We repeat what we said IN a
recent article discussing his famous
parar, that man who entertalns such
views, however sincere and however ac'
complished he may be. is not the proper
| person to teach Southern youth. The
! moro accomplished he Is and the more
sincere he is. tho moro dangerous he is

services as Il teacher of the boys o

by shrewd lawyers and It's vulnerable

OF the points raised against It are not
well taken but the law Is by no means
perfect and the members of the Con
erul Assembly are now IN position to
know where the weak spots are and the
duty of the friends OF tho measure Is to

defects and strengthen 1t wherever It Is

Massachusetts Startled.

Al interesting decision has recehtiS
heen rendered In assachusctts. mo
plaintiff in the case was nominated III
MOO for Mayor Of New bedford. and he
alleged that the defendant had accused
hin, OF selling bis vote, and that bS rea l'
son Of such accusation he had been
greatly injured III his good name, anu
had been exposed to a prosecution Tor
bribery.
In his decision Chief Justice knowlton
held that the statutes of Massachusetts
had repealed the common law on me
subject of brlbing voters. and that us the
Inv now stands While 1t is II crime 10
buv q. vote, there Is no penalty for SELL
ing one. Therefore, the court held that
IL tho action for SANDER. there could
be no recovery in the absence OF plea
and OF proof Of special damages.
The people Of Massachusetts are up IN
arms because, az itsnppenrs from TINS
decision, that there is no law In that
state to punish Il man for selling ms
vote. IT is argued, on the other hano,
we'll as brihe-giving n crime, it would pc
next to impossible to convict either Oh
fender and that It is in tho interest OF
public morals and honest elections that
only bribe- giving be made crime. Tor
In that case the hribe-taker can be USED
as a witness and the be-giver brought
to Justice.
This may be expedient, but 1t does not
alter the fact that some means should
be devised to punish the man who sells
his vote.
For our part we think that the man
who seels his vote for money or for any
other consideration ought to be perma-
nently disfranchised. The man who mas
no greater respect for his honor and VINO
s,ts no higher estimate upon the priHi-
lege of voting than to sell his vote Tor
g price is unfit on the face OF 1t to eSer-
else the right Of franchise, and he should
be deprived of It.

In his speech Mr.. Rayner disclalmed

not want to go to- the Senate unless the
people Of Maryland wanted him there.
He favors the election Of United States
senators by the people, and until that
constitutional amendment can be secured
he asks that the Democrats in their nomi-
