We emphasis tt here, and look; upon it ns one of the unfortunate ten dencies of our form of government. Sumptuary laws are abominations, and wtli prove themselves such as the years K by. The nearer people can come to being a law onto themselves, the better oj they are. The, presence of churches, achool houses. Sunday schools aLnd g-odly homes ouijbt to largely take the place of laws. And when they do, their effect upon society Is Infinitely better." Anybody who baa observed nt all must have observed the rapid growth In recent tlmea It restrictive lejrielation. The people art being hedged about by all sorts of laws forbidding them to do things. Dr. MclTer used to tell in his educational addresses speaking of how children are hampered and how tbey hear "don't" oftoner than any other word of the mother who culled the nurae and eald to her, "Sallle, go out in the yard, to bps what John and Mary are dotne;, and tell them to stop It." We have fallen upon tiroes wlwn the remedy for every rr( in to pass n law. If a man does anything that any body else dtanpproves of, pass a law? make him stop 1L T all talk, and ! with frood raon, of the potentatlon of the Republican party; how It pui pos" to take the p!pVe under the wing of government, and have It coddle tbem and do for them thlugs which they rbould do for themselves; and of j how contrary ell thla is to the Ienx-j 'ratic theory that government lias no ' hulnes with the citizen except to make him behave himself and to see ' that he leaves his neighbor unrll turbed In his enjoyment of life nnd liberty and In the pursuit of happiness--beyond thlH to leave him frt-e arid let him uhlft for himself. We nil talk some more, and with good reason, of how the Kepubllran party, R radii ally ' absorbing the authority of the Shite nnd the rights of the Individuals, 1 concentrating oil power at Washing ton, and we say with truth that thlH Is contrary to the remoi-Tutlc theory, and we don't like It. lint aren't wo of North Carolina under the same con. demnation? Our laws say "don't" oftcner than any other word, and legislation l given the people from KnlelKh on matters which they ought to be left to Icglxhitn on themselves. ''HIE onsEKVKK AND Till A. & N.

In regard to ! tli apparent dlHrrepsnry Tho Observer .said: "It is found that there la un , account i-il for In the acemmtH of th iroiniiany th sum of JSI, lir.fi. S"t, ,ut : owing to the crude nnd antiquated manner of keeping tho hookn of the ,iomiuny the comtull ten thinks that the sum can be fully nicounlod fur In 'materia! on hand, etc." This la. as will be readily seen, merely a statement taken from tho InvcHllgtiiliig eoinmit tee'a report, nltliout expression of 'pinion. The iliHerver, however, gives Its own vloWrt In tho following:, which occurred near the i lose of the odltorlnl in Ull(ui nnd which Mr. Cowles doubtless had In mind when ho con nected It wltli tho figures ojuotad: "The Investigating commute, sums up tlie trui iter In what tho unprejudiced reader cannot help hut believe Is, the most favorable light possible under tho clrcuin.Htnticon; In fact, so lenient does It appear in Us languiigM at tlnios that one Is almost Inclined to read between the lines.

The Washington Pott, to flew of recent assertion, of Tba bervr t tba effect that, "even with the pres ent labor conditions the South' aoll 1 capable of producing v practtoally llUtoltable cotton crop,; volcee ' the) opinion that there la no lack of labor en Southern farms, "10 that the que., tlon Is not one of getting more labor but of a more enlightened end econom ical employment of the tabor already available." It therefore conclude that apparently the South has a larger la boring claaa than can be profitably utilized In its present agricultural scheme, and asks, "Where la tba oc casion for importing a multitude of aliens as to whoae adaptability there Is at least reasonable doubt, and of whose usefulness there is at ill morel' and fforituiuea:. "Ovir Southern friends know the negxof he speak their language, Is accustomed to their methods and Institutions, and ap rarvntty In both willing and able to make their crop. What reason have we to cuppona that foreign peasantry especially thos who Inhabit the north shore of the Medttenaoean will prove aa faithful, as competent, nJ as profitable as the blacks they are Intended to displace? Clearly, ib South has labor enough, such as tt In- wby make a change until we can see our way to eetterment? And if it be said that we are on the eve of a new agricul tural era of hlgh fanning, intensified end Hiversltled fiirralag, and all the rest of Itwbn knows that the negro cannot be trained to that as he has been trained to othr thttigs The present seems to us u much bi.ler Ume for deep and prayer ful tbmiKht than for hysterical adventure In .t range field.." ' The rout Is largrely correct In the R?jove. and entirely so as regards the nofcro's being- better suited to this sec tion thnn the average European peoe ant. As to the abundance of farad labor In the South, however, we think our contemporary Is to some extent ' In error. Ieptto evidence to the con trary furnished by the big cotton crop, there has been considerable scarcity I of help In nome sections and conse i qucntly perhaps more than the usual ""MU DW" " " negro s j well-knowa unreliability. He Is, how- over, perhaps the very best man for the place he fills and It will be a sad day for the Southern farmer when he haa to give him up for the average alien whose sol -object" in life Is the accumulation of money. There is plenty of room In the South for respectable Immigrant, but little for those who are only sulitd to places now filled by negro oa. Joseph Tntler, a waiter, testified be fore the Denver election committee Wednesday that he voted nt least 40 time In the election last fall. As was to be expected, he did not do this wlth out remuneration, receiving a tip of from fiO cents to (I for each ballot cast.
