Hon. Josephus Daniels, the North
Carolina member of the National Com
mittee and editor of The News ana CD
server, who was recently fined for con-
tempt by United States Judge Purnell,
has been released upon habeas corpus.
Mr.. Daniels criticised the action of
Judge Purnell in appointing receivers
for the A. and n C. railroad. The
appointment was overruled by Chief
Justice Fuller, but Judge Purnell lined
Mr.. Daniels $4,000 for contempt, and
upon refusal of the editor to pay the
fine sent him to JAIL Judge Prltchard
tried the case and released MI.
Daniels, saying that there was notnlng
in the statutes to warrant his arrest
Mr.. Daniels is to be congratulated
upon his victory, and deserves also the
gratitude of the profession for INSIST
ing upon his right to criticlse the
judge. Judges, like other pubic serv-
ants are open to criticism, ana as all
questions must ultimately be settleu by
the courts, it is especially necessary
that the judges themselves shall pc
tried at the bar of public opinion. NO
judge need fear criticism II ne mas

HON. w. L. CRAWFORD.

That is good news that comes from
the mountains. The selection of Hon.
w. t. Crawford as elector in the
Tenth district is evidence that the
Democrats in that district intend to
wage a winning campaign. Mr.. Craw-
ford has served three terms in Con-
gress and is easily one of the greatest
vote winners and convincing orators
in North Carolina.
1t is good omen when men OF
Mr.. Crawford's calibre thus respond
to the call of their party.

For Mr.. A. C. ZOllicotfer.

To the Editor: Vance county has
quite a large and enthusiastic delega-
ton which will urge the name of Mr.
A. C. Zollicoffer as one of the dele
gates from this district to the National
convention.
Mr.. Zollicoffer is a lawyer of State
reputation who has never asked for
any office, but has always been an en-
thusiastic party worker. If the con-
vention should elect Mr.. Zollicoffer il
would be an honor to the district as
we'll as to Mr.. Zollicoffer.

THE MOTHER SHOULD FOLLOW
THE DAUGHTERS EXAMPLE.

At the last session of the Tennessee
Legislature temperance law was
passed much stronger than the Watts
law, under the operations of which, as
we understand it, whiskey is not now
sold in any town or city in that State
having a population of less than s.
600. 1t was a far-reaching temper
ance measure. The Democratic State
convention, in session at Nashville two
weeks ago, adopted model platform
Of principles and declarations of party
purposes. Did it try to dodge the
Adams law? Did it repudiate the
work of the Democratic General AS
Sc mbly? Did it write straddle de-
claration, trying to catch the temper
ance vote with one hand and the open
saloon vote with the other, by miser-
able makeshift of a platform?
The Democracy of Tennessee do not
stultify themselves. They do right,
and, when assailed for their righteous
course, instead of shifting and sliding
and apologizing, they glory in the good
appeal to the virtue and intelligence
OF the people for endorsement and APP
proyal. Here is the declaration on
the Adams temperance law in the Ten
nessee platform:
1--WE endorse the enactment by the
General Assembly of the temperance
measure known as the Adams law, ana
we oppose its repeal"
That's the sort of righteous and
high minded courage that ought to
characterize a great political party. If
any believe it would have strengthened
the Democracy of Tennessee to have
repudiated the legislative act, let him
watch the returns from the election in
November.
Tennessee is the daughter of North
Carolina. 1t is often we'll for moth
er to follow the good example of a
wise and sensible daughter. Tennessee
has done well. 1t has shown it has the
courage of it's convictions. 1t dares to
do right and then to stand by what
it has done.
The example to North Carolina is
plain. Let the Convention at Green's
boro adopt word for word the Tennes-
see section on temperance, substituting
'the Watts law for 1.-The Adams" law
and mother and daughter will be
standing out for what is right. safe
and sound. Any back track, any eva

It's founder was Rahere, a witty cour-

church by telling the story that St
Bartholomew appeared to him in a

the church, and pointed to the spot on

solution of the monasteries by Henry
VIII the priory and the cloiser were

INDEPENDENT STATE TICKET.

One of the propositions that will doubtless
be made when the Populists and Democrats
meet in their state conventions at Topeka on
the sd Of August will be to nominate an indie
pendent state ticket, naming no party. This,
of course, would make it necessary to put the
ticket on the ballot by petition-but that could
be very easily done.
Some of the counties of the state will put up
independent tickets. In Franklin county, for
instance, the Populsts and Democrats met in
joint convention and repudiated the St. Louis
platform.
For several years, we have contendeG that
the reform forces of the state should get to-
gether under new name, or as independents.
Only in that way can any reforms be accom-
plished, Under the circumstances, it would be
worse than foolish to try to build up the Dem
ocratic party in Kansas. Populists will not
enter into any scheme to aid Parker, and there
are many Democrats who are opposed to adopt
ing the Populist name. 1t seems to us that the
only way out of the difficulty this year is to
nominate an independent state ticket.
