An Untimely Proposal.

The agitation of the race question
was distinctly deprecated by the
the latest national democratic
national convention-the conyen-
ton of 1904. The unanimous decla-
ration of that representative BODY
of democrats was intended as an
offset to the efforts of certain re-
publicans in congress to revive the
issues of the reconstruction era.
Republican state and national con-
ventions usually incorporate in
their platforms demand for the
enforcement of the civil and politi.
cal rights of the negro race in this
country. It is understood that in
several large northern states the
negro voters hold the balance Of
power. and republican leaders,
therefore, regard it as good policy
to assure them of continued svm-
pathy for them in their political
aspirations. Nothing could induce
q shrewd republican politician to in
dorse any proposition involving the

Serious trouble is apprehended
from the muddle in North Carolina
brought about by the interference
of a federal judge with states
rights. The State Railroad Com
mission of North Carolina made an
order that the passenger fare on
railroads should be two and a quar-
ter cents a mile. Two of the rail-
road authorities refused to recognize
this order of the commission, and
under a statute of the state legisla-
ture they were arrested, but sued
out a writ of habeas corpus before
federal judge, and as the federal
courts are generally on the side OF
the railroads the federal Judge re-
leased them. There is now a
threatened clash between the feder-
al and state authorities. But the
case has been appealed to the SUI
preme court of the United States
and it is expected that it will soon
be decided there. We hope to have
an act passed by the next legisla-
ture OF this state making the pass
enger rate two cents a mile. The
railroads are likely to take the
matter to the federal courts, and
we need state Officials who will be
IN sympathy with the people, and
not with the railroads ! in this con.
test between the people and the

elect the teacher for the school the

that the teacher shall be elected on
