Not being Vesponsible, it were unjust to I hold t them, to account Klpj ' The point is. that it is all a matter of form. : Let no one think because there is an absence of a general police call toj hold down the negroes in con vention assembled that the Fourteenth Amendments are but of the game. The riot of the Florida convention Is sub stituted in North Carolina by the wiles of the ; "secret meeting." fThe; ; State convention that will result from the two or three hundred conclaves in up stairs efflces, in negro lodges,! In col ored; churches and in the rear rooms of postofflce buildings will be rrhite but it will sUIl be the lightning out of the cloud. The negro his been taught a lesson in representation. He has learned that Mr. Nigger longer wanted in. conventions. Is no but he has been taught that be may still find representation there through "white gemmen" who desire Mr. Nigger's votel herefore, while ; a meeting with thirty-five whites Is held over a bank iii Raleigh, .there is both method and reason in a similar meeting be tween j a hundred blacks in the "Knighks Templar Hall,' Not jonly is there reason and method, but there is understanding. The secret conclave of the 'vhltee produces certam results; the secret conclave of the negroes pro duces j cither results.' There 'is after wards! it touch of , kldVglove and pink palm, as effective and less trying to sensitlv;s noses than the ; methods formerly in vogue In this Stale: and still ! rampant in Florida.! Mr. Nigger is not deaxl.v nor even buried. He is simply nquattlng In the political wood pile Inn ead of parading upon the po litical tump. ' j ' . In! so far as this Is true, it is an in cidental blessing of the principle of white K jpremacy and intelligent rule involved in the passage of the Consti tutional Amendments. But it nieans nothing in itself so far as Inter-Re- publlcan pplltlcs are concerned that phase cf political activity In the so negro is as potent if not' quite numerous, as ever. In other words. he is still in the majority. It is still his recognized power upon, which! the leaders: build for Influence and it is still to the. negroes that go the crumbs that fall from the table of the Na tional A Iministration and the .Repub lican candidates, first into the laps of the white delegates ankl .afterwards from tht m into the yearning maws of their jfellow soldiers glorious though now in the scrub the "brethren- In in black! , IUIAMKATTk HAS HEARD IT Rhaoikatto Roaster.)

DOG IN TIER MANGER. In Its suit before the Interstate Commerce Commission the State of North" Carolina is not evenly remotely deslrouatof depriving the cities of Vir ginia ofr the low rate they are, given in car load lots from the far South and the West The people of this State would not do anything to injure tre Old Dominion. ; Tha litigation was begun, first, upon the initlatlvs of the merchants ' because the j lower rate to Virginia cities deny a; fair chance to North Carolina cities. They did not ask to have the rates put up in Virginia, but only asked like rates in like conditions. This did not war rant the hostility of Virginia cities. Which have asked to be made parties to a suit which only asks that the people of their neighbor State be giv en the same freight rates given them President Flnley, in his testimony be-J fore the Legislature of North Caro lina, said that the 4 Southern Railway (which hauls freight from Cincinnati through Oreensbono to Lynciiburg for about one half the price charge! to stop the car in Greensboro) made money on the rate paid by Lynctburg. Thur befnj true, wijere Is the justice in making Greensbpro pay . higher rates on a shorter hkul? Lynchburg is not on ths ocean. Itj has no advantage in water competition and the lower rate is an arbitrary! one; fixed by making it a gat4way city." The same arbitrary "gateway" ! lower rate Is given to Petersburg Roanoke; Suf- folk. Franklin andi cities where there is tition. Tte Virginia cities otber Virginia no water compe- ought not to join hands with the railroads in maintain lng an unjust rate. but should Jo!n de- hands with North Carolina in mandlng just and fair rates to the cities bf both Comn on wealths. Both should, fight tofrthe against an. in crease of rates, bi t Virginia cities should not ask to be; helped by rates that discriminate against North Car olina. . i STOP INJUCTIOXS. Some days ago Senator Overman introduced a bill to prevent the issue of ruch injunctions as Judge Prich ard issued against the State of North Carolina last year. When the rate bill was pending. Senator Overman of fered an amendment which the Presi dent approved looking to the same end, but Senator Aldrich cut the heart out of it. Yesterday Senator Brown "introduced a bill regulating injunctions, requiring notice to be given to the State and making it neceswiry for three- judges j to sit at the hearing. That is not so good a bill as Senator Overman's but is along the rlghfllne.

'It Is decided, how ever, and very prbpeHy sol, i that the girl in the -case-must be a true Sweet heart and mustqonsent to be! hugged. William Bellman, rural i free de livery carrier '..of thexSunfiowfr iState, hugged his sweetheart Without taking tjhe precaution to pull down the blinds. An envious old maid in the neighborhood happened alongi at that time and saw the performance.' . She was so greatly scandalized" that she peddled the story all lover the small town where they lived, and the sur rounding country as well. N6t satis fled with this, she filed a complaint with the postofflce department and demanded that Bellman be d missed' from the service. . i ihf"- HIs case was heard f at Washington and he was represented by counsel in the persons of a couple of j JCansas congressmen. They' pointed out that If every rural carrier ( was dismissed because he hugged a girl when she wanted to be hugged the depart ment would hate to abolish the rural service entirely.

I Efforts on the part of the .North !

Suffolk, Norfolk, Lynchburg and Petersburg. Dispatches , yesterday announced that the Interstate Commerce Com mission had made ? these Virginia associations parties defendant with the Norfolk and Western In the suit against the latter to abate dlscrlm- - ination against Durham and Win : ston-Salem : from Cincinnati and other Western shipping centres. Be- - ing the North Carolina terminals ot the Norfolk and. Western, the North Carolina . commission claims that Durham and Winston-Salem should have , Virginia gateway rates.
