and that the Populist party is
m ore than any other a distinct
ively white man's Jparty and, in
its great anxiety to solve the
race problem, it proposes an
amendment to the constitution to
prevent negroes from holding
any office in the State as long cs
the 15th amendment of the con
stitution of the United States
stands. It's clear enough that if
Butler and Thompson could put
the party lash on sensible Pop
ulists and whip them into line
they -would do it, but they know
too well that they can't. 11 is

newspapers the Best Detectives.
Speaking of newspapers, Sam
Jones says: "If I wanted to get
a right square judgment, I'd
rather go in a newspaper office
than a court of justice. No man
whose life is true, pure and just
is afraid of all the newspaper
presses in America. They are
the best detective force in the
country today. They have punc
tured more shams, and, so far as
I am concerned, I say take the
bridle off and let them go. The
only ones that will be hurt will
be the shams and frauds. And
if you think the newspapers
print too much of a sensational
kind, don't,' you read it. The
papers needtpbo reformed, but
the people &ave got to reform
first. Newspapers are printed
for money, and to suit their
patrons. If you think they are
run on a high moral platform,
like Mr. fBarnum's circus, just
reform yourselves, and the paper
will follow suit.

and Wm. S Bernard, of Chapel
Ti ll, rnet Messrs. E B Crooks
and Carl Monk, of Vanderbilt
University, Tenneessee, on Fri
day night, the 20th, in that
institution, in discussion of the
question, "Resolved, That the
United States should not main
tain permanent possession of the
Philippine Islands."
The North Carolina boys had
tho negatire and won. It seems
the more creditable to the talents
of these young men that in the
nature of the question they won
against the popular sentiment, at
least in Democratic circles.
The prepondence of the logic
was that the United States
should maintain permanent
possession of the Philippines.
That's funny enough that the
Populist convention declared
that the amendment is abore
party and is left to the judgment
and conscience of I each individual
The State Journal, a weekly
periodical publish in Raleigh is
again before the people under
the unique motto: "White Su
premacy, . Administered by the
Republican Party." The Journal
comes out boldly, independently,
and we think, logically for the
constitutional amendment, fully
anticipating that its party plat
form will oppose it emphatically.
It is right iDleasant to have on
our desk a Republican exchange
that is even half way right and
we gladly put the Journal on our
list hoping that tho amendment
carried will greatly improve the
chances of good journalism for
those of our opponents who can't
come all the way.
Butler, in his speech before
the Populist convention yester
terday accused the Democratic
convention of being made up of
lawyers, office seekers and their
friends. If Marion Butler is not
a lawyer and an office seeker
himself what is he? Monroe En
quirer. ,
We don't know so much about
the lawyer part but he's certainly
an office-seeker and a blather
skite and scamp thrown in.
Rhyme and Reason.
If you toot your little f ooter,
and then lay , aside your horn,
there's not a soul in ten short
days will, know ' that you were
born. The man who gajthers
pumpkins" is the man who plows
all day, and the man- who keeps
a humping is the man who makes
it pay. The man who advertises
with a short and sudden jerk is
the man who blames the editor
because it didn't 'work. The
man who gets the business has a
long and steady, pull and keeps
the local papers from, year to
year quite full. He i:lans nis
advertisements in a thoughtful,
honest way, and keeps forever at
it until he makes it pay. He has
faith in all the future, can with
stand a sudden shock, and like
the man of Scripture has .his
business on a rock.- Ex.
