A Valuable Book.

By order of congress, a book has just
been published giving an illustrated
history of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, with the biographies and por-
traits of the %signers. From a histori-
cal standpoint it is considered very
valuable. The most valuable medicine
before the public today for ailments of
the stomach, liver, bowels or kidneys
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Thou
sands of sufferers have been cured by
resorting to it promptly. Its so years
record proves its worth beyond all
doubt. When you overload the stom.
ach, the bowels become clogged and
you feel half-sick all the time. In such
cases use the Bitters exclusively and
the trouble quickly disappears. 1t al,
so cures poor appetite, indigestion, dys'
pepsia, costiveness. cramps, malaria,
and female troubles. We urge a trial
at once. For sale by all druggists.

THE LAST INFRINGEMENT.

In the matter of railroad regulation
legislation there is no room for par
tisan politics any more than in prose-
cutting the war against Spain. Good
men of all parties should stand
shoulder to shoulder. All the same
ex-senator Chandler is right when he
tells the Republican Senators, that
they will lose a chance to hold the
Northern States if they follow Foraker
instead of Roosevelt, also saying that
corrupt railroad control prevails in
many States" where railroad retain
ers and passes are found in many
official hands, The Senate is the last
entrenchment held by the railroad
monopoly. Can the people take that
or will the robber-b baron hold it

BOARD OF ALDERMEN WE'RE
RIGHT.

A public officer ought always to do
what his conscience and Judgment
dictate to be the right course, inde-
pendent of advice from any quarter.
There never was better illustration
Of this fact than in the case of the
Raleigh board of aldermen in the
matter of the dispensary petition. The
legal profession was lat sea- ana
much divided. Some advised one
course and some another. and in the
variety OF opinions the board looked
at the common sense view of the mat
ter. to-wit that a man who has no
legal right to vote in an election has
no right to order an election. And
in being guided by what is the COM
mon sense view they were also guided
by the legal view also for law when
correctly interpreted is but the per-
fection of common sense.
The decision of the Supreme Court
yesterday in the case of the petition
for an election "for saloons" in Raj
eigh interests the whole State, and for
that reason we publish i'll full the
opinion of the court. Inasmuch as
The court stood three to two, we pub
lsh also the dissenting opinion in full
as it will interest the public to see
the two conflicting opinions. The de-
cision of the court by Chief Justice
Clark is brief, clear, and. to our
mind. plain and conclusive. The great
point in the whole case hinges on the
new constitutional amendment,
making the payment of pOll-taX the
prerequisite for voting. 1t is. there
fore, question that must be settled
in the light of that amendment, and
the Chief Justice, without unneces-
sary words goes to the heart of the
matter and shows in n manner so
plain that cas- Col Morehead would
say) 'any man can read it a running.
no person can be heard to call an
election who could not vote in the
election if called. Justice Brown
writes Il very elaborate and strong
opinion in dissenting from the courts
opinion, but it fails to recognize that
old things passed away when the new
| suffrage amendment required pay
ment of poll tax as prerequisite for
voting, and that a ''voter" now is a
man who has qualified himself to vote
| by paying his poll tax, and a petit
| toner who can compel an election
| must be a man who could vote if the
| election was called in accordance with
! his petition.
The whole State will be glad that

GATTTS-KILGO-DUK CASE \ DOG
FALL.

The celebrated case of GattiS vs.
Kilgo and Duke which has been in
the courts a long time, was ended yes
terday in, a dog-fall in the Supreme
Court. two justices fayoring reversing
the decision of the lower court and
two favoring affirming it, Chief JUS
tice Clark did not sit in the case. Tn
der the rule of the court, permitting
the lower courts decision to stand,
unless reversed by a majority of the
court Mr. Gattis is denied Il trial by
jury and is taxed with the costs. The
ease goes off the docket without a
hearing upon the facts
The result is unfortunate from every
standpoint. for it decides nothing, and
does not vindicate any of the parties,
or settle the controversy. 1t would
have been better from every stand
point il the doubts had been resolved
in favor of letting the case be de-
termned by jury trial and the vim
dication of the plaintiff or the defend
ants. Twice has a jury awarded dam
ages TO. the plaintiff. Twice has the
Supreme Court set aside the verdict by
such construction of the law as ought
not TO stand And now by a vote of
two To two, the case falls down. Two
iurfes say that kilso and Duke were
guilty and should pay damages.
The Supreme Courts dog-fall decision
merely says there was not sufficient
evidence of malice to go to a jury. The
prependerating opinion of thoughtful
men i'm North Carolina will be that
the two justices who declare there is
sufficient evidence FOR a jury were
right, and of regret that the other
two Justices did not concur with them
