We wonder what that Alabama ne
gro is after who has declared himself
a candidate for lieutenant governor?
He notifies the chairman OF the repub-
lican state executive comittee that he
is in the ace. AS the republicans
have decided to put out a full state
ticket this negro probably thinks he
can force the white republicans to buy
him off. This negro's announcement
takes 4 back to reconstruction days.
What the republicans expect to gain
by running a state ticket has not yet
been made to appear. In 1904 Judge
Parker's majority in that state was
over fifty sevent thousand, the repub-
licans polling less than twenty-three
thousand votes. .

PROGRESS OF HARTJE TRIAL
Attorneys for Hartje Unexpectedly
Close Their Case-VigOrOus Remarks
From the Bench-Other Witnesses
on the Stand.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 31.-Attorneys
for Augustus Hartje who is seeking a
divorce from his wife, Mrs. Mary Scott
Hartie. somewhat unexpectedly closed
their case today.
Attorneys for Mrs. Hartje asked for
and obtained an adjournment until to-
morrow morning to prepare their pleas
for putting evidence for rebuttal.
The trial was marked today by Il
vigorous remarks from the bench TO
attorneys for Augustus Hartje when
they sought to explain through detec-
tiyes some discrepancies between .he
detectives evidence and that Of Andrew
Fisher who became confused yesterday
on cross-examination. Judge Robert
s. Frazer allowed the testimony TO be
given. but said that it was irregular
and declared that the irregularity that
had been permitted throughout the
case would have weight when the court
made its decision.
Members of the city police were call
ed 10 prove that Tom" Nadine had
repcrted the rifing Of his trunk.
Augustus Hartje then took the stand
and denied the charges made by Ma
dine regarding the blonde woman cpl
sode, and that he had offered Nadine
money to testify that a man was at the
Hartie home alone with Mrs. Hartje,
while Hartje was away. Hartje ad-
nitted owning a house at which he
was said TO have visited Josephine
Wright. He swore that he did not
know the woman.
Tie much-disputed Helen Scott let
tiers were today admitted as evidence.
4 lengthy and heated argument pre-
ceded their admission which Is regard
edas a signal victory for the libelant.
These are the letters p%u-porting 10 be
from Helen Scott to her sister. Mrs.
Hartje which counsel for the Iibelant
assert prove that Helen was a go-bs-
tween for Tom" Nadine. the coach
man correspondent and Mrs. Hartje.

BRYAN, THE

Mr.. Bryan has come out early IN
the campaign as dictator Of the dem.
ocratic party. He should have waited
at least until he had been declared The
nominee for president before be be-
gan to make his demands. Heretofore
he has confined himself TO suggestions
through letters to his staunch support
ers; but he has gotten beyond that
stage now and puts his desires IN the
shape of peremptory demands.
What right has Mr.. Bryan to call
for the resignation from the democratic
national committee Of the member
from the state of Illinois? The manner
of Mr.. S%ullivan's election 10 that posi-
ton mas nothing 10 do with the ques-
ton. Suppose his election was aud
lent in Mr.. Bryan's opinion. If the ma
tional executive committee and the
democrats of the state of Illinois Tecog-
nize him as the representative of that
state on the committee what business
of Mr.. Bryan's is it? He has nothing
to do with the appointment of national
committeeman. Even were he already
the nominee Of the party this demand
on his part would be a high handed
proceeding. AS the nominee OF the
party he would be consulted as TO who
should be made chairman OF the COM
mittee, for the latter would have direct
and personal charge of his campaign.
Even as to the chairman 1t would be
in very bad taste to make such a de-
mand of resignation as has come from
Mr.. Bryan in the case Of Mr.. Sullivan.
This conduct Of Mr.. Bryan is a fore
taste of what the democrats may ex-
pect from him in the way of dicta-
torial conduct if he becomes the nOml-
nee of the party. Everything will
nave to give way to his wishes and mis-
opinion. He will be the party" and
the other men in the organization will
have to be content to be his slaves.
His word will be the law, and men who
oppose it will be denounced as stirrers
up of strife if not traitors to the party.
We do not see how Mr.. Sullivan could
make any reply other than the one
made. His resignation on Mr.. Bryans
demand based on the reasons given
would have been an admission Of the
charges and would have amounted to
a denunciation of fraud against the
men who elected him as committeeman.
We do not suppose Mr.. Bryan expected
him to resign on his demand. In max
ing that demand Mr.. Bryan was lay
ing the foundation for some other ar
ibitrary movement which will develop
later on.
Mr.. Bryan seems to consider himself
already the standard bearer Of the
party and has begun to exercise v e
more authority than that position usu~
ally cOnfers.

News comes of a cold-blooded assaa-
slnatlon Tuesday at a point on the line
of the Southern railroad between
Greensboro and High Point. On
Monday the foreman of the double
tracking force discharged a negro la
borer. The next day the man return
ed and shot the foreman down with a
double barrel shotgun and made his
escape. Murders of this kind are be-

Next Monday is the time for on
vening the special term of Rowan su-
perior court for the trial Of the negroes
charged with the murder of the .Lyer-
l. family. The defendants have not
yet employed counsel and they will
badly be able to do so. 1t is said
there will be about fifty witnesses in
the case. A negro confined in Char
lotte Jail with the defendants who
were sent there says Dillingham; made
a confession to him duplicating some
white man, but, the latter denies this.
The impression seems to be that, not
withstanding the large number of wit
nesses, the trial will not be a long
n Rowan will be pretty apt to have
at least a triple hanging at an early
day, and that at the hands of the coun-
ty officers. No trouble from outside
sources is anticipated.

FOREIGN LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

From an editorial of the Washing
ton Post given below it will be e
that The Post does not take much
stock in the foreign labor movement
for the south, and it has no doubt that
those North Carolinians had good
ground for shooting up an install
ment or two" Of those "so-called Ital-
ians," and it predicts that they will
do SO again under similar provocatioa.
The Post says:
: Our southern friends will remember
that The Post has not exhibited the
slightest enthusiasm in connection with
the proposed importation into that
part of the country of European labor
ers. We have been at no trouble to
understand the anxiety of the land II
water transportation companies in this
regard. Nor are We at the smallest
loss to realize the attitude of miners
and manufacturers. 1t is entirely nat
ural that t railroad and steamship
people should seek the job of carry
these expected thousands. They are
in business for exactly such purposes.
Similarly, the mine and factory opera
tors want cheap labor, and are willing
to pay for it. The Post, however, has
always felt that any considerable ac-
cess of this particular brand Of human
ity would prove unWelcome and injuri-
Gus. and we have made free of our
warnings and approximations.
The movement has found impetus
and force. nevertheless. though not at
all to our surprise. The Southern
states FASTENED to establish an immi-
grafton office ct New York and to set
UP a most capable II doubtless we'll
paid machinery of influx. Thus 1t
happens that North Carolina has al
ready received a considerable consign-
ment of so called Italians. has had a
prompt experience Of their peculiar
eccentricities, and has found it expe-
dent TO shoot up one or two INSTALL
ments of the new population-a conse-
QuenCe which surprises Us as little as
the original fact of the italian" infu-
sion. Our North Carolina friends,
however, are only beginning to per-
Ceive the fruits of their enterprise. This
government. be il known, is on the
most cordial. not to say affeCtionate,
terms with that Of the Ouirfnal. Repre-
sensations have reached Washington
from Rome. Diplomatic retorts have
btSll ItSpSNAIultN ~ dI tSd lIoTn lIliS
end. and now it is agreed that agents
of the Italian monarch shall visit the
scene of the shooting up and oversee
the prosecutions Of the shooters.
We know nothing certainly as to
the facts and details OF the incident.
In a general way. we feel quite sure
hat the alleged Italians got what
they deserved. anC by the same token
We make bold to prophecy more troU-
bic for the survivors as the result Of
this foreign Intervention. Our Caro-
lima friends are a simple, u~npretending.

have their own customs. ideas. and So
cial institution handed down to them

THE ATTACK on SVEABORG.

A glance at a map of Russia will
show that SveabOrg, Kronstadt and Sc
vastopol are the most important fort
Tesses on the coasts of that country.
Were she to lose them she would be
at the mercy of an enemy's feet. Sc
yastOpOl on the Crimea is her base of
operations for protection of her terri
tory bordering on the Black sea. That
fortress in the hands of an enemy
would expose all southwestern Russia
to invasion. The other two fortresses
are the advance outposts in the defense
Of the nations capital and the north

Russia relies in time of war to prevent

her to lose control of these forts,
whether they were to fall into the

According to yesterdays press dis

The fact that the three attacks wereI
