JUDGE PEBBLES SHOULD RESIGN.

JUDGE PEBBLES SHOULD RESIGN
Lumberton Argus.
If his position forbids the rebuke of an
officer, how far wrong were William, of
Orange, and his adherents who drove
James II. from the throne of England!
What sinners were Washington Franklin
and Jefferson, who defied King George;
and even the Cubans who rose in arms
against the despot Weyler! To rebuke the
occupant of position is to exalt the posi-
lion itself. The Robson bar has an exalted
respect for the judicial ermine, but it de-
mands that the wearer be like Caesars
wife-above suspicion. If Judge PEBBLES
is not a partisan and void of the judicial
temperament, he is at least conceded to
be both. and either through his mental
deficiency, or through concentration of
involving the editorial con-
demnation of hundred papers, the peo-
pie have been led not merely to question
his fitness for the bench. but to believe
in his unfitness. If the Judge is non-partl
san, or possesses the judicial temperament
in even a reasonable degree, it is his
misfortune that circumstances have con-
spired against him, and we are sorry for
him. On the other hand, granting that
he is fine lawyer and at heart an hon
est man, a big hearted fellow as Mr.. Ire
dell Meares shows him to be, yet if he is
so constituted mentally that he uncon-
sciously takes sides, then. for his own
sake and for justice sake. Judge PEBBLES
should resign.

ANOTHER 8 to- DECISION.

The old big Nine," whose rule in Raj
eigh's city government has been disgrace
| full, is on top again.
The famous to decision by which the
| presidency was stolen in 1876 did not en-
tail more bad government upon the repub-
| lie than the big Nine" rule has entailed
| upon the city of Raleigh. The story is
| fresh in the minds of the people how they
| sought to thwart the will of the majority
| by putting the dispensary in the hands
Of liquor men.
In order to perpetuate the power of the
element that makes politics trade, the
eight members of the board run rough
| shod over their own precedent in order to
regain control of the city administration.
The people of the ward elected MI Red
| ford. who was true to the desires OF the
| people living in the ward. Common de-
cency required that his successor be Il
man who held the same views. All three
of the surviving aldermen from that ward
| agreed in recommending such a gentleman.
| But the "rule or ruin methods that con-
| troll the ring that is determined to rule
Raleigh refused to listen to the voice of
the ward, and elected as successor to Mr..
Redford gentleman of the faction which
was signally defeated when the people had
voice in selecting their aldermen.
The little bosses and the grafters who
have thus again come into power in Raj
eigh, by a revival of old infamous 8 to Z,
may ride rough shod over the people of
| Raleigh for one year more, but there will
be IAN appeal to Caesar and then there
will be a clean sweep in the city hall, and
the people OF Raleigh will elect city off
Gals, men who think more of giving the
| city good government than of running
primaries and of carrying through their
own pet schemes.
| Let us have a clean sweep and city
government worthy of the capital city!

JUDGE PARKER'S HEAVY LOAD.

Chief Justice Parker had a heavy load
to carry when Mr.. Hill became the man
ageI of his campaign in the Empire State
mot because Mr.. Hill is not able, astute
of Judge Parker, but because Mr.. Hill
haG become estranged from large and
pow erful element in his own State. The
he stility to Parker in New York is partly
due TO the unwillingness to support any
man whose cause is championed by Mr..
Hill That ought not to hurt Judge Par
ker, and does not hurt him with the
bulk of the Democratic voters in New
York, but it has put Tammany leaders in
or position to an instructed delegation
fof Judge Parker, and may lose him
the State.
A week ago, it seemed certain that New
York would instruct for Parker. That
Cleveland wrote a --..er, in answer to
question whether there was anything
in Parker's candidacy to make Democrats
arprehensive, saying: mo, there is not.
Judge Parker is an able, safe, level
headed Judge and a good Democrat" All
of which is true, but so distrustful are
true Democrats of any man approved by
the ex-President that this mild common
dation of Judge Parker has endangered
g., w r.
tive literary bureau was kept at work
overtime trying to get the Democracy
to consent to name Cleveland as its can
didate. The frost was SO general that
ms hackers had to take in the frozen
boom There was a time when Demo
Gratis GLADLY heard Mr.. Cleveland, but
that was before he betrayed the party
IN 1896 and used power given him by
them to elect a Republican President. If
Cleveland had been true in 1896 the Dem
ocrats would have won. Instead of that
administration against the party which
had put him in Office. That is the un-
pardonable sin. His commentator of
Judge Parker will have a tendency to hurt
that gentleman wherever Democrats are
loyal.
But neither Hills antagonisms nor Cleve-
lands letter ought to have the result OF
injuring or helping Judge Parker. he is
a man of too much ability to be doml-
mated by any living man. His own
straight Democracy, attested by an I'M
swerying support of Democratic candi
dates, is not changed because the CHIEF
of boilers says of him what all the
world knows is the truth-that he Is "an
able, serious minded, and admirable
man"

TALKING ABOUT PASSES.

Eve do not quite understand why the
should have so many local attorneys,
says the Roanoke Chowan Times.
Some years ago the Legislature passed
law forbdding railroads to issue free
passes. Public officers were prohibited
from using them. Judges were allowed
at the same time $3.50 per year to pay
their travelling expenses. When the law
passed, the people thought it would be en-
forced, but, 10 and behold! some of the
railroads invented devices to give passes
to politicians and others. In order to do
this they retained a large number of law
yers, law agents, claim agents and other
"employes," most of whom never did any
thing for the road except to help them out
in their schemes. A brigade of free pass
attorneys was the result. 1t is perhaps
true that Mr.. Bryan, President of the A.
& N. c. r. r., fell into the bad habit of
other railways and sent passes to public
officials and prominent men, some OF
whom have never used their passes twice.
but that is no excuse for following the bad
habit and the States road must cut the
passes Oft short. Nothing else is right
and nothing less will satisfy the people.
This paper is trying to get the railroad
organs, which wished to put the A. & N
Z inf no hon IF la of
spring soldiers of fortune for issuing
thirty free passes, to join in demand
upon the Legislature requiring every rail
road in the State to file with the Corpor-
alton Commission a statement giving the
names of all parties travelling on free
passes, the nature of their employment
other statement in the annual reports.
Though they grew red in the face with
indignation because the A. G. n. c. r. r.
has followed the bad example of the roads
by which they are subsidized, they are as
dumb as oysters when asked to print the
names of the attorneys of their roads who
tote passes. And-mark the prediction
next January with the Roanoke -Chowan
Times, the News and Observer and other
honest newspapers demand the passage of
law requiring the statement outlined
above, these same railroad organs will
violently oppose such a law and denounce
everybody who favors it. The people will
not stand for passes on the A. & N. C. r.
R., bit they will not utterly damn the
management of the road for doing what
some others are doing, and say it's all right
in those roads that substitute newspapers
and all wrong in the A. & N. c.. r. r.
The people viii say: What's sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander." Make

the Robson county bar Is a most re-
grettable one from any point of view. If
there was just cause for the action taken
by the bar in boycotting the Judge then
that official should be impeached. On the
other hand, if the bar acted hastily, and
without due consideration, it owes the
Judge full and ample apology. 1t will
only make a bad matter worse for Judge
PEBBLES to institute contempt proceedings
against the members Of the bar, as he
gave it out at Lumberton Monday that
he would do.
