"Ton. cannot move, legislators craz d with ambition. But the people can, and will do so when they, fully under stand, the situation. And we need never fear they will not understand it after a, time. But the people should ; be Informed now. Do not forget, ' however, that if you attempt It, you will be denounced by the demagogue and cartooned by the yellow press, a i, gate which has come to the few who have appealed to reason and to Jus tlce. These tactics Have enforced sl lence upon many whose hearts have prompted them to point out the dan is ger of government by passion. But they cannot keep silent the earnest r lawyere of this country for a minute after they have determined that duty calls them t& speak out. God grant that the hour of that determination Is at hand." Extract from Judge Parker's Address Before tho Amerl can Bar Association. CHARLOTTES SHOIXD BE UNITED. vne can understand that, however aelflah and unworthy the reason, some personswe believe there will not be manyliving In the county outside of Charlotte can vote against the pro- posed Issue of 1800,000 of bonds.

There are, we : think, bilt few such in Mecklenburg. But It is difficult to understand how any man of the city, If prompted by no other Impulse than that of self- interest, will be able to get the con sent of his own mind to vote against the bonds or to absent himself from the polls election day. Charlotte is a city of peculiar charm, not alone In Jta citizenship but in the beauty of Its , foliage, Its homes, its public and busi ness buildings, the comforts and con veniences of life which It provides. It attracts the favorable interest of very visitor who cornea to it, but there Is a deficiency so plain as to be painfully observable to Its own people and to elicit the surprised comment of the chance visitor, and this de ficiency Is moat conspicuous In its , very heart. The rererence Is of ;' course to -Its streets, which are worst :. in that part of the city which Is most seen. It is not worth while to argue : point which will not bo disputed. We therefore pass over the character Of the streets with a mere reference and submit the remark that it Is not clear 'how they are to be improved unless the bonds carry and the city ' f1 th har of 'he money from .; these which will be apportioned to It.

While some are larger then others all are In first-class con dition snd their prosperity affords irc.nd of atLfactJontoChartotlsr' i m:;.:;oi:s. A lady friend, taking note of d. re cent statement in The Observer that free negroes could vo:c in North Car olina until 1835, when they were dis franchised, writes to say that she "would be glad to know when It was the law that the free negroes should leave the State, many of them having gone to Ohio." As a result of in quiry and Investigation ; we are en abled to say that free negroes, as a class, were never' required to leave North Carolina. At r different times the , Assembly interf erred to protect them when ; there was a suggestion that they were being harrassed. Many slaves were set free for meritorious service during the Revolution and there were many free negroes In the Colony before then. These, as hereto fore stated, were allowed to vote up to 1835. In 180 there was a very considerable number In North Caroll In 1830 an act wasirassed to the effect that slaves subsequently man umltted by their owners should leave the State In ninety days. At that time there was a very great dlsposl tlon to abolish slavery. A bill to abolish slavery in Virginia failed per haps by a single vote. To guard against the costs of a large, Improv ldent free negro class among us, this legislation was adopted, but it had no bearing on the former free negro In habitants, who still bad the right of suffrage and an exception was made in regard to negro slaves, fifty years of age, manumitted by their owner for meritorious services, (not for gen eral good behavior, but for some particular service). These were not required to leave the State, but any free negro, who should leave and re main away for three months at a time, was not allowed to return a a citizen. Manumitted slaves were sometimes removed by their former owners to Ohio, these owners at the time of the manumission being re quired to give bond that they would remove the negroes in ninety days. The above seems to be all the law on the subject. The Nat. Turner in surrection in 1831, with which all have some famlllarltyr resulted In a more strenuous enforcement of the laws about negroes, slaves as well as free, but there was no subsequent legislation about free negroes. FOLLOWING BAD EXAMPLES. One "David," a correspondent, writing In The Danbury, Stokes coun ty, Reporter, last week, said, among other things, of the proceedings In the Legislature last winter with ref erence to tho anti-tobacco trust leg islation:' "If. the Reld bill was a good thing twelve or fourteen years ago when Cy. Watson tried to get It on our statute books, it is a good thing yet, and our people are inclin ed to believe that a few thousand dollars caih in hand was more at tractive to Mr. Buxton than the sal ary of an uncertain Congressman. A case of a bird In the hand rather than two In the bush. See?" Yet, with the examples before him who could expect better than this of Mr. Davd. who is, no doubt, as Senator Tillman boasted 'himself in the last Congress, "but a rude man." As It is customary in North Carolina these days for a writer or speaker to Inti mate plainly, but In such terms as to. barely keep him within the law, that the person who disagrees with him has been corrupted, Mr. David doubtless thought It entirely proper fpr him to aay bluntly about Senator Buxton what others say by Implica tion about other men, that he is be lieved to have been bought. This Is but. another Illustration of the level to which our politics have fallen. We are sorry our friend Pepper, of The Reporter. Is In trouble about this publication. As to Senator Buxton and the accusation against him, it la not necessary to add a word to the foregoing. WHERE MR. TAFT WAS WEAK. There Is Monie force in Mr. Bryan's criticism of Secretary Tuft's upeoch of a week ago at Columbus, O., especial ly aa to it lack of aftlrmatlvcness. Upon several subjects the Secretary mado good points, effective points if he had left them after making them, but Instead of that he frittered them away by qualification ..before quitting the nubject In hand. This lack of deflnltcnes particularly with refer ence to tariff revision and to income and Inheritance taxes have been re ferred to In thPHn columns before. Mr. Tatt declares himself In favor of nil lliene, but does not think that tar iff revision xhnuld bo undertaken or that the taxes mentioned should be Imposed now. This is the es sential weakness of the speech Its InrteflnlteneHK and generalization, and of course Mr. Brynn Is not slow In finding tho 'joints In his adversary's armor. Ills doing this Is no special mark of acuteness for the discover ies were easy to be made. The Sec retary would have been much strong er if he had taken his positions bold ly and held them without equivoca tion or explanation.

Stir Caused in Meeting of the Bar Association By Introduction of Resolution Containing Some Rather Ktartiing Articles of Faith. Portland, Me., Aug. 27. Shortly before the adjournment of the bar association a decided stir was caused by the Introduction by enry S. Dewey, of Boston, of a resolution containing articles of faith with reference" to the "unwritten law." The resolu tion, which was indefinitely post poned, was in part as follows: "The American Bar Association in convention assembled declares the following articles of faith, namely: "That the ever living God Is the supreme judge of the world. "That this association teaches that every good law Is in harmony with the unwritten law, so-called. "That the unwritten law, so called. Is the word of God. "That the real foundation of the common law of England, so-called. Is the unwritten law. so-called, and that this unwritten law la the real foundation of all good laws since the beginning of the world, the founda-; tlon of common law, common sense, common jufttlee throughout the uni verse."

Hoyt, author of "The Mecklenburg Declaration," feels that The Observer has not been laXt In having reproduced favorable no tices of Drv Graham's book and un favorable criticisms of-his work. In the interest of fair play the following new.vpaper comments on Mr. Hoyt's book are 'appended: 'Students of the history of the American Revolution owe a welcome to ' this careful and instructive attudy of a hotly contested problem After a close and impartial study of all the evidence the writer reaches the conclusion, humiliating, no doubt, to the local pride of North Carolina, but fairly convincing to anyone who approaches the question without pre posession, that the Mecklenpurg" Dec laration of Independence Is a myth. supported, for the rest by hot a little eopnusucacron ana rraua. xne in quiry has its main Interest, of course, ior Americans speciauy interested in t.ie constitutional history of their country. Tet Mr. Hoyt's work is so thoroughgoing .and eo well studied that its perusal could not but profit anyone curious to learn how historic truth may be perverted by the seat of unscrupulous politicians." Scotsman, Edlnburg, Scotland. ; 'Mr. Hoyt, let us say at once, tears the whole myth to shreds. Mr. Hoyt's demonstration may be too bit ter a. pill tor the North Carolinians to swallow, - but outside of that State there are few persons, we .should think, who will not be convinced." Herald, Glasgow, Scotland. ," In the work before us Mr. Hoyt may be said to have proved Its spurlousness beyond question. He has made a .veryi close study of all the evidence, and he sets forth his con-J elusions with a detail which, to im partial minds, should be convincing. Americans, doubtless, will be grate ful to Mr. Hoyt for having so effec tively settled a question of no small interest in. the constitutional history ol the United States." Westminster Gaiette, London, England. "We believe that the author has proved his case. His work Is worthy of praise as a model In literary criti cism." Cumberland Presbyterian, Nashville, Tenn. , j "A careful and scholarly examina tion of this question end pre sents a clear 'case against Mecklen burg and North Carolina. . . . But as it Is probable that the Shakespeare Beacon dispute will never close, it is even more probable that the dispute over the Mecklenburg decaratlon will continue to the end of time." Spring field Republican. "It is safe to say that no reader who approaches the book without preju dice amounting to -bigotry can read the argument and .proofs offered by Mr. Hoyt without becoming convinced that the so-called Mecklenburk Decla ration of Independence was a myth." Philadelphia Press. . "He writes without las, and as one determined to get at the truth of the matter. . The argument or both sides are freely given, and so clar a case is made that It really seems that the present should .ha the last hook published In tfyls century-old contro versy. "Boston Transcript. "History includes a vast amount of material, so that the reader is able to judge for himself. It is quite likely that the claim for the genuineness of the Mecklenburg proclamation win be made again and again as the years go by. But it is hard to believe in It after the painstaking work of Mr. Hoyt has been examined with oars." Chicago Post. ' "Mr. Hoyt's work shows throughout the most painstaking care and thor oughly fair-minded and impartial spirit: It shows its author to be both a trained scholar and a critic end a man well qualified for the work that he undertook. Doubtless the work will be received with small favor oy the Inhabitants of the old North State and t'.ieir descendants, but even these must recognize the fair-mindedness of the writer and the strength of the argument which he deduces.
