We have more than once en lied attention to the fact tliat there is no warrant in our present State Constitu tion tor what is known as "double dist rids —districts composed of two or more: counties with population, enough lor two Senators. ■ 1 >elore the Canby ( onstitu- | tion of ISO* 1 here were fifty j Senatorial districts in the! State, each entit l i d to one j Senator. The arrangement I . of districts in that ( oust 11 u tion whs a Republican ger rymander to insure the elec tion of thirty or more Re publican Senators. That was changed by the Consti tution ot IST."), and the! Democratic Legi si atu re j which meets in.January need resort to no such trickery and disregard of the Consti tution to insure a Demo cratic majority in the Senate j of North 'arolina in the Cut ure. Art. 11, Sect ion 4, of the State Constitution says: "The Senate districts shall be so altered hv the General c Assembly, at the fiist ses %. 7 sion after the ret urn ot every enumeration by order ot Congress, that each Senate District shall contain, as near as may be, an equal number of inhabitants, ex cluding aliens and Indians not taxed, and shall remain unaltered until the returi. of another enumeration, and shall at all times ct>nsist ot contiguous territory: and no count v * 1 t shall be divided in the for mation of a Senate district unless such county shall be equitably entitled to two or more Senators. No one can say there is ;, an equal number of inhab itants, as near as may be," m a ''double ' district, with five counties, and a single district with one or two counties. "As near as may be,'* means such an approxi mate equality as exists in the count >, or counties, con taining about one fifti-'th part of the population of the whole State. Wi T hin the county-line bouuda:i« > one district may contain a few ever, and another a few PRESS AND CAROLINIAN: DECEMBER 18,1890 less than the fiftieth part of the whole population, and that is what the Constitu tion means when it savs, -'as near as may be, an equal number of inhabitants.

ZZZ With the single exception, of the sub-treasury plank, the platform adopted by the National Alliance con vention in Ocala, is good Democratic doctrine, as we understand it. The Alliance demands that "taxation. National and State, shall j not be used to build up one interest or class at the ex pense of anot her. * That is just why Democrats oppose a protective tariff. The Alliance platform says "the money shall be kept as much as possible iir the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all I revenues, National, State, or county, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of' government economic-! ! ally, honestly administer." ! : *" I That is exactly, almost the precise language of the Democratic platform. It is our demand for a tariff tor revenue only, and that no surplus shall be collected from an already over taxed people to breed ! corruption and extra va 'ga nce a bout the Na 1 t ional capitol. as is now too ! commonly charged. The Alliance demands the fr« e coinage of silver and so do the Democrats. The Alli | a nee declares against sec | tional and class legislation, i against which the 1 )emo- Crats have tjugnt at all times and in all places. The ! Alliance opposes trusts and com bines, ami so do rhe Dem I ! ocrats.il The Alliance de ! nounced the Force hill, and the DiMiiocra ts ha ve opposed it from its hjirlh. So on nearly every principle advo cateil bv the Alliance, thev t 7 • are with the Democrats ami where every true American c 111/ en should stand.

A law has just gone into effwt in Louisiana requiring The railroad companies tu furnish separate cars tor white and colored persons. —[Ex. . i Such a law ought to he in effect in every Southern State.

W hen a per.-on paj s lor first class passage he is entitled to it, hut separate cars ought to be provided lor th° whites and blacks. 1 his would be more satisfacto y , to the sensible and self-re-, sj ecting members of both races.
