Conscience of The State Is Aroused.

A vigorous campaign has been in
augurated against the divorce eNi! in
North Carolina. This campaign was
formally launched at Raleigh one
night last week at a big mass meet
ing in which people of all professions
and religious faiths took part. II is
said that more than 1,400 divorces
we're granted last year in the courts of
North Carolina. This fact has served
to arouse the conscience of the State.

Letting Down The Gap Bad Thing
N c. RantiSt.

Many of our county courts are be-
coming veritable divorce mills. That
meeting in Raleigh last week protest
ing against the loose divorce laws
in this State was timely. Our state
has been put to shame in the last
four years by the disgraceful divorce
business. To be sure, most of 1t IS
among the negroes, but the State owes
if to them to protect them from the
evil results of easy divorces. The next
Legislature ought to change the law
and make it conform to decency. The
letting down of the gap few years
AGO was a bad day for the State.

CHICAGO PLATFORM VINDI-
GATED.

Four years ago at Kansas City, at
this writer suggested to some of the
platform makers that the 1900 plat
form should start with the declara-
ton that the money plank in the Chi
cago Convention had been vindicated
by time. Superficial readers of plat
forms have supposed that the Chicago
platform declared for the free COIN
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l
because that convention primarily
wished to put more silver in clrcula-
ton. AS a matter of fact the declara-
ton was in not one for silver, but for
a larger supply of primary money,
and inasmuch as silver was the only
precious metal then in sight, the de-
mand was that it be coined at the
ratio established by law. History de-
monstrated that the Chicago demand
for a larger volume of money in cir
clIIation was wise. IN that campaign
we were told that it was not more
money that was neeGed-that we had
q plethora of currency-but that
what we needed was confidence.
Well, Mckinley was elected and they
told us that as soon as his election
WAS assured confidence would return
and there would be an end of hard
times AS a matter of fact the first
six months of McKinley's administra-
ton witnessed more business depres-
sion and more failures than in any
previous like period during the panlct
1t was not until the returning vessels
from Alaska dumped millions of dol
lars of fresh gold into the country
and the artificial demand for goods
produced by the Cuban war that there
was any change toward better condl-
tions. And this situation confirmed
and indicated the wisdom of the
Chicago platform, the wisest declara-
ton that has emanated from any
political party in this decade.
What some Democrats wished the
National Convention to do in 1900.
Hon. John Sharpe Williams has OBJ
tanned in the new declaration of prin-
ciples by the Mississippi State Con-
NeDuOD. he dSCletI 1y
Mr. Williams and adopted by the
Mississippi Convention is in these
words:
'The Democratic party congratu
lates the country upon the vindica-
ton of the Democratic contention for
an increased volume of real or metal
lie money in Il manner acceptable 70
all Democrats by the addition to the
worlds stock of money metals of ST.
0,000,000 in gold within eight
years, from which these United
States have been able to obtain $780,
600, 900. thereby doubling their stock
of standard raising their per capita
from $23 to $50, and contributing to
that advent of Industrial activity
which could not otherwise have been
attained and a proportionate increase
of the worlds stock of silver. The
fact that this result has been reached
by no action of Government but by
the act of God through human. I'M
strumentalities of discovery and in
vention, does not lessen our graft
tude."
The Democratic State Convention
at Greensboro and the Democratic
National Convention at st. Louis
could not do better than to adopt the
