Will Be Comemnced Early in the Spring
 Says City Engineer Kelley.
 City Engineer Kelley stated yester- day afternoon that work on the strengthening of Tomlinson's bridge would be commenced early in the spring. He says that owing to the pres ent condition of the weather it would be impossible to do any work on it now He also stated that he did not think that the Manufacturers Railway company could get the new rails which will be necessary before that time
 Said the city engineer: "Of the $5,- 900 appropriated, 1 think that the work of putting the structure in a satisfac- tory condition can be done for less than that amount.
 As soon as the bridge is in proper shape the Manufacturers Railway company will be allowed to run their cars over it to connect direct with the freight yards, which will be a big say- ing to them.

AT ST. LOUIS.

Ice was broken yesterday and the
initial plunge into convention work
was begun at ST Louis where the
National Democratic convention is in
session.
The conditions with regard to the
possible nominee show no change in
the last two days. The current ha1
been running Parker-ward and there
has been no gathering of the anti.
Parker forces about any candidate. i
is still Parker against the field. and
the field without leader.
Yesterdays news was that the
Tammany folks conceded the nomi-
nation of Parker but Tammany Is
changeable in it's views at ST. Louis
Yet the appearance there is certainly
for Parker.
1t will be Friday before the strug.
gle with the votes begins to tell the
end of the story of the nomination
The platform is to be settled, and
after the Presidential nomination is
made, then will come the selection OF
the running mate for the Democratic
nominee.

AND NEW BERN ON THE WAGON

Close on the heels of the magnificent
victory won by the temperance forces
in Charlotte comes the victory for pro-
hibition recorded yesterday in New
Bern.
The victory in New Bern was a
sweeping one, there being 500 votes
against saloons, and III for saloons, a
majority of 392 for temperance.
The moral forces in Charlotte and
New Bern have given cheer to their
friends throughout the State, and
will encourage these to go for
ward. The victories will strengthen
the anti-saloon forces in their contests
in Greensboro and in Wilmington.
The large majorities given for tenn
perance in Charlotte and New Bern
show that the temperance wave is
sweeping onward. 1t means that the
consciences of men are being aroused

A Coward's Weapon.
Goldsboro Headlight.


In delivering his opinion in the Jo-
sephus Daniels case of alleged con-
tempt of court, Judge Pritchard, to
whom appeal had been made by the
defendant in habeas corpus proceed
ings, enunciated certain fundamental
principles of civil liberty touching
freedom of speech and the press with
which every Well-pOsted American
school boy should be familiar.
So patent is the truth which this
jurist proclaimed as constitutional au-
thority and made doubly binding by
Congressional enactment in 1881, that
the simple reference of the ccourt to
these we'll understood rudiments OF
free government was much in the ma
ture of a quiet rebuke to the brother
jurist who, seemingly allowed the
heat of his heart to influence the nor
NAL temperature of his head Some-
thing that the judicial temperament
brides itself on never doing.
The day has passed when a judge
on the bench can hedge himself about
with an assumed infallibility which.
through fear of summary punishment
deters an honest press from con-
ScentiouS criticism of judicial acts
believed to be inimical to the public
interest. The weapon of contempt Is
generally a cowardly weapon, and its
employment has more often been in
the direction of REFRESHING the legiti-
mate exercise of free speech and the
expression of righteous opinion.
A court that administers justice
even approximately seldom has need

Judge Pritchards ruling in the con-

cannot be otherwise than universally
commended. The kernel of the deci-
sion is this: IF judges charged with
the administration of the law are MOI
to be criticised on account of their
official conduct the liberty of the
press is abridged and the rights OF
citizens imperiled. Public ques'
tons are generally settled in the right
way, and the fact that such is the
case is due in a large measure to the
free and untrammeled discussion by
the press of the country" 1t will be
an evil day for the free institutions
of the country when judges and other
public officials may not be criticised
