THREW AWAY THEIR OPPOR-
TJNTTY

In speaking of the action of other
Democratic Congressman, Mr.. Claud
Kitchin, Congressman from the Sec
ond District, is represented as say
ing:
tThe only times we have ever won
was On the tariff issue, and we could
have won next time on that issue.
The people of this country do not
believe in protective tariff. But
now when thirty Or forty Republi-
cans Congressman of the West come
out and say that their party is wrong
on this issue, why here are our own
Democratic Representatives who face
about and say to these Republicans:
We have been wrong while you have
been right"
The Republican members have not
said that the tariff plank in their
platform was wrong, but many of
them think that some of the Republi-
cans and Democrats are trying to
place some of the schedules too high.
While on the other hand the Demo-
cratic Congressman have jumped
their platform altogether and have
tried to out boiler the ultra-protec-
Zionist for a high tariff on many ar
ticles. II the Democrats ever had
any chance of winning at a future
election, they have thrown the oppor-
tunity away.

OFFICERS SHOULD PRESERVE
THE LAW.

The Supreme Court of Alabama
has taken start against lynch law
The sheriff of the county in which
Mobile is situated has been removed
from office by the State court be-
cause he allowed a mob to take a ne
gro from the Mobile Jail and lynch
him. This act on the part of the
Court will, doubtless, have healthy
influence over the rest of the sheriffs
in Alabama and cause them to take
every precaution to protect their pris-
oners and put down mob law. The
authorities in Florida might now get
busy along the same line. 1t was
only a few days ago that only a few
men were allowed to storm the jail
at Tallashassa, drag out a prisoner
and lynch him within sight of the
, State capitol. There was no excuse
for this lynching whatever, as the
prisoner was already under a death
sentence and would have been legally
hanged in a few days. 1t was SIM
ply a case of mob violence run to
seed without an protest on the part
of the officials.
If mobs knew that they would be
punished for thus violating the law
| We would have fewer lynchings, and
when the officers are derelict in theil
duty then they should be removed.

NEW PONTIUS PLATE.

Democratic good government
has gone wrong again; that is, If it
has ever been right. Last fall a
faction of the Democratic party in
Raleigh decided to put the old office
holders of their party out of bust
ness and give the offices to new
crowd, known as the outs" The
"outs" charged that the city govern
ment was corrupt and incompetent to
manage the city's affairs They said
meaner things against the inns" in
their own party than they have ever
said about the Republicans. They
managed to rout the old crowd and
install their set in office. But now
some of the reformers are not at all
satisfied with some of their new Of
ficials.
On last Friday night when Mr..
William Bailey. who was one of the
leaders in the so-called reform move
ment, was addressing the Board of
Aldermen for client, he said:
when we elected you mayor,
Mr.. Wynee, we did not give into
your keeping the keys of heav-
en-. When we elected Mr.. Stron-
ach police justice we did not y
confer upon him the power of a
Pontius PLATE to exercise over
the streets of Raleigh"
And this is what one of the lead
ers of the reform movement has to
say of the new city government. But
We can't understand how the leaders
of the reform movement managed to
have the keys of Heaven in their
possession to hand them out to whom
they saw fit. If they are going te
hold those keys, we hope they will
not lose them or pawn them fol
money to run the city government
And We certainly hope that "Pontiu.
PLATE" will not put the Christians te
death. Amt 1t awful!

THE NIGHT-RIDERS' CASE.

practical illustration of Shake
speare's complaint at the Injustice of
1.-The laws delay" is seen in the re-
cent decision of the Appellate Court
of Tennessee in the case of the night
riders of the Reelfoot Lake region.
Convicted in the face of an almost
wholly friendly local sentiment of
most atrocious crime, the verdict
of the jury seemed a triumph for
law and order. There is no question
but that these men had a grievance,
but instead of proceeding in proper,
legal manner to assert their rights,
they proceeded in the dark of the
night, with their faces hidden from
the sight of honest men, to take the
law into their own hands and commit
a cruel, needless murder of an old
and inoffensive man.
Convicted, and rightly SO, as most
men believe, they now take refuge
in the bubbles of the law and by a
technicality that seems absurd to the
iayman, in that they should have
been permitted an almost incredit-
able number of challenges, 1872 in
number, or eight times more than
| that given a defendant when tried
separately.
Resorting to such bubbles in a
| case where the guilt is so plain is
| exasperating and is a sad common
tary on the means of securing JUS
tice. A defendant on trial is en-
titled to reasonable and proper means
of defense. Equally so is the com
munity entitled to protection against
the lawless and the freeing amone
them of dangerous and criminal men

THE BIGGERs VERDICT.

The verdict In the Biggers case
at Charlotte came as a surprise 10
many who had followed the case in
the reports. The acquitted man ad-
mittedly shot down one Hood, whom
he accused of defrauding him, and
followed 1t up by firing into the pros
trate body. The jury found that he
labored under confessional insanity"
at the time of the murder and &C
cordingly acquitted him.
It is to be presumed that the jury
found in accordance with the evil
dence and their solemn oaths. Fault
lies not SO much with them in this
turning loose upon the community
self-confessed crazy murderer as
IN the inadequacy of our laws which
do not provide for place of deten-
ton of such persons. II Biggers- Is
crazy, he should not be punished fol
his misfortune, but equally so Is the
community entitled to protection. Il
is asking too much in saying Bigger:
was sane before the crime, crazy
when he did it, and Immediately re
covered his reason.
The State of New York furnishes

young millionaire, undoubtedly in

crime as Biggers', but he is now con
fined in a hospital for the insane a

ONE LONE DEMOCRATIC con-
GRESHAM.

In an interview, Congressman
Kitehin is reported by the Norfolk
Landmark as saying:
THE only times We have ever
won was on the tariff issue, and
we could have won next time on
that issue. The people OF this
country do not believe in pro-
tective tariff. But now when
thirty or forty Republican Con-
gressmen of the West come out
and say that their party Is
wrong on this issue, why here
are our own Democratic Repre-
sentatives who face about and
say to these Republicans: We
have been wrong while you have
been right
The criticism of Congressman
Kitchin Is directed at Senators Over
man and Simmons and at all the 9th
er Congressman from this State. II
short, Mr.. Kitchin is the lone Simon
pure Democratic Congressman left
The others are "near-Republicans
| 1t is true. that Senators Simmons ant
Overman and the other Democratic
