The judicial Conflict.
Elizabeth City Economist.

Judge William CASTOR, once, in con-
versation in relation to a toast to
President Martin Van Buren,, written
to a Democratic banquet in Phila-
delphia-'uncompr hostility
to the United States Banks" said in
his most emphatic manner, 1--WE should
be uncompromising to nothing but
vice"
That declaration of that great Caro-
linian, whose life was a poem and an
unwritten benediction, has been to us
a lifelong memory.
The judicial character rises above
the fleeing fluctuations of passion and
prejudice. Judicial antagonisms, for
tunately, have been of rare occurrence
in North Carolina, and those few have
not resulted in benefit to either party.
These considerations have led us to
regret the unfortunate antagonism
that has arisen between Judge Pee
bles and the Robson bar
AS in most controversies, safety lies
between the two, and that middle
course often lies in compromise 1T is
in the line of peace and leads to it's
blessed terminus.
We take Judge PEBBLES to be a good
lawyer, and a man of stubborn and
courageous convictions. His life of
large legal conflict has cultivated these
excellent qualities, when under con-
troll, but dangerous when uncontrolled
and in excess.
1t is the nature of the Scotch bar
of Robson to be aggressive, persist
ent, and tenacious. We think Judge
PEBBLES is of the same tenacious blood.
He that cOnquereth his spirit is
mightier than those that buildeth a
city.
, The Robson bar was out of it's line
of duty when it arraigned the Judge
for his judicial conduct in the Hay
wood trial at Raleigh
The judge is in error instituting
legal proceedings against the bar. Let
us have peace.

AN PSYCHOLOGICAL POEM.
As To The Live Topic Recently Raised
BY Bishop Turner.

To the Editor: Bishop Turner
created quite a sensation by making
the statement that all men were Great
ed black and that the white man was
only a negro bleached out.
But dis is what 1 herd an ole man say,
Dat de Lord made de white man out
of clay.
De devil seed what a job he'd done,
An 'cluded he'd try an make him one.
So he went way down TO de fur low
groun'
Whar de very blacklist mud is foun',
An dar he make de querest ffgger,
An den he laugh an call 'em niger.
He carried 'em to a sand hill, way up
high,
An put 'em in de jam of de fence to
dry.
De win cum er long an blowed 'em
An dat's why de sole of his feet an
hands am brown.
De devil picked 'em up and cussed an
swore,
An hit 'em in de face three times or
more.
An dat's why as de story goes
Dat er nigger's got such a big fiat nose.
An dat's what make me always say,
Dat de Lord made the white man out
of clay.

AFTER GRADUATToN-wHAT?

"After eraduation-what?' is the
ouestion i'm the mind of hundreds OF
young men and women in North caro-
lima lust at this season of the year
The parents and friends are all inter
ested. too. AS the years go by, and
education becomes more practical,
and the number of graduates steadily
grows, graduates are not apt, as IN
other years, to think more highly OF
themselves than they ought to think.
This is not saying that they ought
not to think well of themselves and
proud of their achievements. 1t is no
small thing to have successfully COM
pleted the course prescribed in any
of our institutions of learning, but
there is no call to put on airs about It.
Our observation is that year by year
graduates, instead of being puffed up
with a sense of their Importance, are
more modest as they look into their
future and ask themselves the ques-
ton: After graduation-what?"
The Lumberton Argus. which is
speech. thinks that work is the only
thing worth talking about, not only
for graduates, but for all students in
vacation. We quote:
Put the boys in the cotton patch, or
the corn field-or, to conform the Ian
guage to present day condition, in the
cotton field or corn patch.
And the girl who has been bang
ing the piano, let her bang the churn
dasher; and let her become as ex-
pert with the dish rag as with the ten
mis- racket or the croquet ball. Let the
girl realize that to be a good house
keeper is more important than pos
Sessing a smattering of French OF
music, and that to be a good house
keeper she must be good cook. Hel
French and music will enhance hel
value as a house-keeper, and increase
her pleasure and others, BIT If eth:
CT instrument is to be neglected let II
be the piano rather than the cook
stove. Let work be ennobled, and let
every girl, be taught that the butter
fly existence is a reproach. There Is
precious little use in this world for a
woman whose chief end is to play the
lady. to spend, to be petted, giving
nothing to the world in return for its
favors. This is all the more true OF
the man. If there is anything the
devil has no use for, it is a lazy per-
son. We guarantee the devil is not
the champion of the bookworm-the
so-called germ of laziness. 1t is a
pity for an Indifferent lazy scamp to
be married to a person of energy. So
boys and girls should not only be
taught to work, but should likewise
be taught to distrust the idler. School
is important, but men are oftener
made by work without school than by
school without work

Doctors still abound in Pennsylvania,
In spite of the general diffusion of

Der of doctors who belong to the mod

State have undertaken to stamp out
this relic of barbarism with its me-

and mix the ashes with water you
will obtain an ointment that will, if
put on the place covered with hair,
destroy and prevent it from growing
again
While we are not altogether free
from superstition in North Carolina,
such dense superstition is not found
except among the most ignorant ne

the attempt to smirch the manage

agents OF the Standard Oil Company,
is very properly rebuked, on the au-
thorlty OF Henry A. Page The con-
tract was made with the National Oil
Company before the present manage
ment took charge and the contract
was continued. When one recalls the
righteousness of the Standard Oil
Company in its dealings with the pub
lie, the complaint, started as we be-

10 get the contract, is ridiculous.
The News sums up the case by say
ing that considering all the difficulties
of State ownership when in competi-
ton with private ownership, consider
ing the blunders that are seen to be
such by the hind-sight that is better
than foresight, and considering the
real increase in the value of the prop
erty, the State can afford to draw a
long breath of satisfaction over the
outcome and the people of the State
will do we'll to consider the source,
the next time they are deluged with
a flood of Islander and misrepresenta-
ton from interested parties. We are
sorry for the one act that srnacks of
scandal. But the State really owes a
debt of gratitude to the management
for thus increasing the value of its
property. And We trust that the peo-
pie will let it be known now in no UNI
certain tones that they want outside
hands off their road until Governor
Aycock, whom they trust implicitly,
sees the way clear to make the best
possible bargain for them in the lease
of the road.

Though there are charges of drunken
ness, discourtesy, and partially
against Judge PEBBLES, it appears that
he insists on trying his own case. 1t

allow another judge to try the cause,

SYNDICATE OF PILLAGE AND
PLUMBER.

"Conditions are now most favorable
for the complete triumph of the syn
dictate of pillage and plumber, writes
o prominent North Carolinian he is
correct in saying that the trusts, the
| political railroads, and grafters are
| ali engaged in a determined effort to
elect their tools to the Legislature
| They cannot succeed "if the people
are aroused and their attempt is eX-
nosed.' - To your tents, O, israel.
The crowd that draws it's inspira-
tion from '.HIGHER UP" is today en-
on eed sin the most earnest efforts to
dominate the next Legislature.
"Theres millions in it They are
particularly interested in controlling
the Senate, though they are going to
control the House, too, if the people
are caught mapping. Let the people
in every county closely scrutinize the
antecedents, the environments, the
associations, the obligations of every
candidate for the Legislature! The
the gang ''HIGHER UP" will have all
the money they wish. Let them be
told to stand aside, and let men be
named who are known to be free, in
dependent, sensible, without any EN-
tangling alliance" with the "HIGHER
UP" crowd. Eternal vigilance is the
price of "a legislature free from grab
and graft.
The gowth of graft in American
Legislatures has grown pari passu
IL, E
olies, and there is a natural connec-
ton between them. In remarkably
timely article in McClure's Magazine,
Mr.. Lincoln Steffens tells of the all
pervading corruption which arises
from the connection between public
LEGISLATION and those corporate inter-
ests wishing to control legislation.
He gives, as an illustration, this ac-
count of what happened in the case OF
the Niagara grab bill:
"In brief, the Niagara-Lockport
Power Company sought from the Leg
iSlature a charter which would take
from the people their most priceless
gift of nature and deprive them of
one of the greatest of their rights-a
right heretofore only vested in the
people themselves, the right of emil
nent domain. When this bill came
to the Legislature nearly every MEM
Der of either house declared that
nothing on earth could convince him
to vote for it, but when the time came
10 vote such were the influences at
work on the part of these wealthy
franchise seekers that there was only
a pitifully small minority against the
bill, and it passed both houses. Thus
we have seen that the Legislature
cannot be safely trusted to guard the
public from this menace
There are interests, having private
greed in view. which are determined
to control the next Legislature of
North Carolina. And they will do it
if the people permit weak men, or
men tied up to corporate power, to be
nominated. The place to fight the
.HIGHER UP" grafters is in the
| primaries.

No Corruption Can be Found.

Charlotte News.
We think one very plain lesson of
the report is that Henry A. Page is a
better railroad man than President
Bryan. The former has learned the
business of railroad building and rail-
road running by experience and from
the ground up. The latter is a man
who had already made his fortune in
other lines and who had other inter-
ests to attend to than those of the
railroad, interests that were worth
more to him financially than the rail-
road This fact should be borne in
mind in reading the report. Railroad
men of experience and executive abil-
ity cannot be picked up for $500 or
even $4,000 a year. Another princi-
ple to be borne in mind is that of the
wise man, that the destruction of the
poor is their poverty. A poor corpora
ton as the Atlantic & North Carolina
Railroad has been is obliged to lose
money sometimes when the possession
of ample capital would save.
We observe that considering the large
mountain of lying about the political
management of the road it is a very
small mouse that is finally brought
forth, namely the appointment OF one
old Confederate soldier, whose work
could probably have been better done
by a younger man. The only thlne
connecting Governor Aycock with the
detail management of the road was
his request that this old soldier DC
