PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

Much talk is heard of the contest
for Governor that is being warmly
waged, and we have reached the stage
when the contest absorbs the interests
of all the candidates when it is get
ting intentionally warm. The State
Convention will in all probability
name one of the four gentlemen who
have been named and the State Will
be safe in his hands. Let there be
no uneasiness upon the point. He may
not be your favorite when named, but
he will be before the November cleo
ton rolls around.
This is a year when national politi-
cal questions will figure largely in the
discussions on the stump, and when
the State Convention meets at
Greensboro special care should be ia
ken to name as electors at large two
men who have the ability and elo-
auence to convince the people of the
wisdom of the Democratic position. In
the past, almost without exception,
the State Convention has named the
States most eloquent sons as cleo
tors. and it is to be hoped this year
the precedent will be kept up, and
men of great ability will be named
for these important positions.

Political Chat.

Judge Gray believes that the pros
poets of the Democratic party are
very bright this year. He thinks that
the great independent vote which
elected Mr.. Mckinley is now the de-
cisive power in American politics, and
he is convinced that it is swinging to
the Democratic side. Although the
judge declines to discuss politics in
public, In private conversation with
friends he makes no secret of his
opinion that failure to nominate Judge
Parker at st. Louis would be disast-
rous to the party,-New York World.
The Democratic leaders of this
State have kept close watch on the
developments in Mr.. Parker's race,
and they have come to the conclusion
that a man who, without any fanfare
of trumpets, or the employment of
exhaustless barrels of money, has sue
ceeded in gaining the confidence of
the people of representative States is
worth endorsing. Therefore, the Citi-
zen feels that the coming State con-
vention of North Carolina will en-
Enthusiastically declare in favor OF
Judge Parker.-Ashevill Citizen.

CLING TO HIGH IDEALS.

The complaint is made this year
that commencement orators have put
the fodder too high in the rack-have
held up ideals that young graduates
cannot hope to reach. That criticism
need concern nobody seriously. The
young man who returns from college
with his head full of lofty ideals will
have to struggle to maintain half of
them in actual combat with the world.
The law of gravitation in ideals tends
to pull them downwards and only he
who starts in life with a good sup
ply will hold on to enough to give
him the true conception of duty.
The most dangerous public speaker
is he who persists in going about
SCATTERING the ideals of the people and
setting up in their stead some common
stuff, or what is worse than either:
rendering young men Indifferent TO
great ideals and skeptical to all
species of altruism. 1t is much bet
ter to hold up an ideal impossible of
attainment than to turn a young
mans idea to gazing into caves or
caverns.
The boy who leaves college with
out a conservation to a great ideal
admiration for lofty deeds and who is
wanting in hero worship lacks some
of the essentials of the best educa-
ton Instead of scattering the fodder
on the ground, where most of it viii
be wasted, by preaching nothing but
post practical of practical topics
the Commencement orator generally
raises a standard attained only by the
few, but a standard to the attainment
of which many are helped to higher
resolves and nobler achievement

may hit the church steeple.

DENIAL OF TRIAL BY JURY.

Justice Harlan, in his decision in
the case of Dorr and O'Brien, involv-
ing the right of the accused to trial
by jury in the Philippines, has done
a great service by his invincible logic
overthrowing the decision of the ma
jority of the Supreme Court of the
United States The majority decided
that trial by jury could not be de-
manded in this new possession, though
the party invoking it was guaranteed
the right in this State before going
to the Philippine Islands. To show
how Article has been amended, here
is the way Justice Harlan says the
words in the parenthesis showing how
it applies in the Philippines):
''No person Except Filipino or an
American citizen who happens to be
residing or sojourning in the Philip
pine Islands) shall be held to answer
for a capital. or otherwise infamous
crime, unless on a presentment or in
dictment of grand jury. -.
And article must be written in a
style something like this:-
I'm all criminal prosecutions the ac-
cused (unless he be a Filipino or an
American citizen who happens to be
residing or sojourning in the Philip
pine Islands) shall enjoy the right to
a speedy and public trial, by an i'm
partial jury. -
The present construction and the
present imperialistic policy may last
for season, but the day will come
when trial by jury will be guaranteed
in the. remotest bounds where the
American flag floats.
