Prom our Bejular Correspondent Rep u hi ica n Sena t ors co ri sen ted to a Congressional In vestigation of all Cuban ac counts, as proposed by Se'n- utor Eicon's resolution, not because tl.ey wanted an in- restiffntion, bnt because they reaml ro defy a lrm.tjoally .;..s.,...i ....m: A...nA t;. one.' They are now trying to devise schemes that will eu able them to keep the invest ligation in their own hands, hut democratic Senator are wideawake and intend to participate in that investi gation, and if possible, they are going to have auother for Porto Rico, where there has been great extra vagance in the payment of double mid in come casf-8 triple salaries to postal employes, if no ac tual stealings It is also nen- erally believed that affairs .are quite as bad, if not worse, in the civil brunch of ourgov eminent in the Philippines, and there are scandals even hi the Washington City Post Office. The nnxietj of t he Republi can leaders to hurrj adjourn ment is amusing. Although they have a good big major ity in both brunches, they act as though they were n- fraid that Congress would do something they didn't wont it to do, if adjournment wasn't rushed. It is hardly likely that adjournment will take place June 6th. thedate set by the house resolution, but it will as soon thereaiter as the Republican leaders in the Seiintecan get the appro priation bills out. of the way. To nppeal from Caesar Mo- Kinley to the American peop le is now the programme ol the Boerenvoys. Thev have not abandoned their idea of making a tour of thecountry and arousing public senti ment. They will begin this week in Haiti more, and from there will go to other cities where they have accepted in vitations to attend -public meetings. Representative Talbert. of S. C, has been making an- othtr warm speech on the Pf.nsion question, his text be . t, rt l tJ li.hirrnn ,n XM ca8H ()I I,ie '''" man who draws$1800a.par as a clerk in the Interior De partment, 'nd $ 1200 a year as private Secretary to Rep resentative S. VV. Smith, of Michigan, and who has been voted by Congress o pension of $72 a month for total dis ability. Representative II. 0. Smith, cited the case of Justice Long, ol theSupreme Court, of Michigan, who draws n pension of $140 a month as an excuse for this case, and Mr. Talberts said in reply: "Two wrongs do not make one right. The gentleman asks now because one man is robbing and plun dering the government un justly and unmeritoriously, that nnother man may be placed on the pension roll and receive a high pension. Thnt. is the trouble about ,. . ,.u! l",a "'' of pensions. One man gets in and another man wants to get in. Members have their friends and they will hot vote against each other, They will not have the re ports read hpcause they ; sit here like dummies Baring, 'Oh, they will reach my case neit.' That is what is the matter. You want to do a dozen wrongs to make one right and you want to con tinue to do wrong in order that your case irny bo javor ably acted upon, I want to see justice done by the old soldiers and I will do it every time.if I can, but I do not want to give my soldier what he does not deserve." Senator Morgan jumped on the opposition to the Nic aragua CanalA which has ap pa ren t jr su c?eed ed in hang ing up the bill, in a speech in which hedidjnot mince words. He bfgan with the six syndi cates, organized under New .ersey laws for the" puipose of controlling Canal routes on the Isthmus ol Darien of which he said: . "I think the assumption, arrogance, and brazen faced audacity- o f these people have reached a climax." He charged thnt this govern men t was submit ted to the cuffing and badger ng of the new Panama Canal Company, which in conjunc tion with the trans continen tal railroad, inspired the op position to the Canal bill, be cause a Presidential election is pending and that it is a- fiaid to tackle any corpora tion that has or professes to have some great power, and he asked: "Is it to be said hre that the President is a party to this ambidexterous and cross eyed political ras cality?" Mr. Morgan con 'jludeu wjth these plain words: "The President who is a can didate tor reelection, is in the hands of his friends, and his friends are the enemies of the Nicaragua Canal. I hardly know whether to sav I hope for the passage of the Canal bill at this session or not That depends upon two men upon this floor. If they are controlled b a detei initia tion that the revenues for Republican campaign pur- doscm shall not be cut off from the great railroad and canal syndicates then the bill cannot pass at this ses- sion. T h e responsibility. however, must rest on them." The Spooner bill, making Mr. McKinley Czar of the Philippines, is dead for this session and probably for all time, as in addition to some Republican opposition to it, the Democrats in the Senate have served notice that the bill would not be allowed to pass at this session and they have the power to make that notice good by simply refus ing to allow the bill to reach a vote. Mr. McKinley who witness ed the eclipse today from Fort Monroe, where it was total, ought to have got therefrom a good advance idea of his own total eclipse next JNovember. Uf course he used a government vessel to make the trip to and from Fort Monroe; Republican of ficials seldom pay for any thing they can get'for noth ing by making use of their official authority. Wants Them to Vote But not to Hold ; Office. ' The Populist party propos es to still allow the negroes to vote, but to submit an a niendment to the State con stitution disqualifying them from holding office. This would be a nice arrangement for the Republican and Pop ulist office seekers. They would still have 120,000 ne gro voters to elect them to office and would not have to divide the spoils with the ne gro politicians. This is not an honest settlement of this question, for no race or class who are allowed t o vote should be deprived of the right to hold offices, if - they can be elected or appointed to them. Asa settlement of the evils of negro suffrage it does not "reach the spot," for good government i n North Carolina suffers al most as much irom thewhite men elected to office by ne groes as from negro officers themselves. The white men elected to office by negro votes has to pander to the negroes and make himself in his personal and offlciarcon duct very offensiva to white men. lo illustrate; that great man, the lamented Judge Armneld. related in his life time that he wus hold ing court in one of the negro counties which had a Repub lican sheriff, whom we will call Bill Smith, ior we have forgotten his true name. Judge Anntield said tho sher iff was standing on the side walk in the county town one afternoon after the adjourn ment of couit talking to a groun of gentlemen, when one of the negro leaders o the county drove ud in his buggy. The negro stopped bis horse and called out to the sheriff: "Bill Smith, d-n vou, come and hold my horse while I go into Tom Jones barroom and get me a drink of "liquor." B'ith a flushed face and a sheep killing-dog look the sheriff went am stood in front of the negro's horse while the negro went into the nairoom. The Dem ocratie party don't want white officers who owe their election to nero votes. proposes to not only ins qualify the nenroes from holding offi'.e but to prevent thein from voting us well It wauts white officers elect ed by white men, and good government, law and order in North Carolina demands nothing less.

With the hope of building up opposition to the consti tutional amendment, its ODr ponents, 1 e d by Senators ritchard and Butler, ore trying t o make illiterate white voters believe that hey will be disfranchised if he amendment is udopted. They know that, there is not a particle of truth in this, but thej ure asserting it and playing this as one of their big cards in the game. They know that under this amend ment every white man in the State who is now entitled to a vote will com inue to oe a voter, and they know, too, hat every white boy who t -J r r comes ot age neiore ivua and registers will become a voter and continue to vote. After 1905 it will .be neces sary for those coining of age o be able to read and write, but this gives ample time lor every white noy growing up to learn to read and write. What transparent folly it would be for men who are contending for white suprem acy to disfranchise their own people and leave tho ballot box open to thenegrces. The assertion carries its absurd ity with it. But they say it will be de clared unconstitutional be cause it discriminates a- gainst the negroes. 1 his ;s not true. It does not dis criminate against the ne groes, for any negro who was entitled to vote in 1867, in this or nnv other State, or the lineal descendant of such negro, will beentitled to vote, so that there is no discrimin ation on that ground. Then; may be very few of those, but. the fact that they are not, debarred from voting knocks out the discrimination oh jectiori. There is not the slightest danger of that section being echired uiic:)iistitutionnl bj the courts, without so de claring the othei section, foi they are so coupled that they must stand or fall to gether. This is in accord anco with the opinion o f courts on germane questions and is the opinion of the a blest lawyers who have stu died this question. The Shadows of Life What He does we know not now. but we shall know here after. I remember on a glor ionsdaycfall but cloudless sunshine passing in view of a well known line ol bare and majusti( downs, then basking in the full beams of noon. But on one face of the hill rested a mass of deep and gloomy shadow. On search ing for its cause I at length discovered one little spe 'k of cloud, bright as light, float ing in the clear blue aboveg This it was which cast on the hilisidethat ample track of gloom. Arid what I saw was an im age of Cbntian sorrow. Dark and cheerless often as it is, and unaccountably as it pass es over our earthly path in heaven its tokens shall be found; and it shall he known to have been but a shadow of this brightness whose name is Love.

He was a bright-eyed bare ' footed, shabby little fellow, and in manner, in which he wormed his way through the crowd and offered his papers i n eveiy direction proted that he was used to his bus! ness and not easily daunted. The train started jvhile he was making change for a pa" per, and the conductor past, ' ing him, laughed: "Caught . this time, Joel You'll have to run to Fourteenth street." "Don't care," laughed sToe, in return; "1 can sell all the way back again." A whitehaired old gentle . man seemed interested in the boy and questioned him con cerning his way of living nnd his earnings. There was a younger brother to be-sup ported, it appeared, and "Jimmy" was lame and "couldn't earn much him self." "Ah, I seel That makes it hard; you could do better alone." The shabby little figure was erect in a moment and the denial was prompt and somewhat indignant. "No, I couldn't I Jim's somebody to go home to; he's lots of help. What would be the good of bavin' luck if nobody was glad, or getting things if there were nobody to di vide with?" "Fourteenth street I called the conductor; and as the newsboy plunged out into the gathering dusk,, the old gentleman remarked to no body i n particular: "I've heard many a poorersermon than that."
