' In an address delivered at a joint conference of committees of the .Na tional Association of Manufacturers ' and the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufactur ers, held at Philadelphia. September - J Oth, this strange passage occurs: "Now, I believe Ithe speaker was a ' representative of the NbiIimwU Asaucla- tlen of Manufacturers thai the way for you gentlemen to do Is simply in get the best facts tKat you can about your In dustry. As you have already been told, do not undertake i nuikr a tariff sched ule that totally disregards other Indus tries, snd particularly the consumer; make one that Is fair and right, so tar as you can see It. snd our tariff commit tee, which has tee.r studying the general subject will try to view It in a general way and see that you do not olasa with other Interest?, and I believe thee that united we will stand snd divided Mr. Bryan will get the last one of you." i When went there by an are sine the great flood that from the midst of a body of manufacturers, gathered to consider tariff bill, there arose a speaker to Interject a word In be half of "the consumer" or in favor of a tariff ' that Is fair and right?" The practice of special pleaders for partic ular items in tariff schedules, as well as of the congressional committees which frame and review tariff bills, haa been to treat the consumer aa an individual who had no business with the matter and no rights entitled to be u-a rA a A Thnitrht Af tha cnn,iim,r has been only as of one to be ex ploited and taxed for graft for the protected. s The speaker in question, must be of the Miles school of protectionists, a class which does not deserve to be hated, and there is encouragement In ths fact that the report of the speech . ,1a- with the t rr, Iflcant world Applause. The incident is a novel one. We wonder If the man who pays the freight without having here tofore been mentioned or thought of, may hang a hope on it. WHERE THE RKJSFONSIBUJTY 18. First making our manners to our es "teemed contemporary. The Charleston - News and Courier1 to whose level of ability, worth and general excellence The Observer has for many years vainly aspired we would remark that It quotes with a degree of approbation an Observer editorial of a few days ago in which it was said that "the talk about the South 'assorting it self In national conventions hereafter is fol-de-rol." that "It asserted Itself at Denver and asserted for Bryan, for the simple reason that a majority of Southern Democrats favored his nomination" and "if Its delegatea had opposed him In the convention he would not have been named as the candidal' ' to which The News and Courier files a demurrer, saying that If The Observer "will cjuallfy its Statement 10 me r.ieoi wi wimi vi that 'a majority of Southern Demo crats favored his nomination.' but that a majority of the delegates at Denver favord his nomination. It will gpeak the whole truth." That modi fication The Observer, upon reflection, accepts. The difference Is a nicety of language, however, rather than as lavolving the primary fact which we triad to bring out, and of which our contemporary says "It Is true that ths South la more responsible for Bry aa than any other part of the country and. It is folly to claim now that In ths future It must assert Itself." The fiouth ought to be too brave to at tempt to put Off on others its own responsibility In thla matter. It -vaa just like the German Em peror to have rone up in the airship with Count Zeppelin yesterday afternoon.- President Roosevelt wanted to go j'vrttb OrvUle Wright just before the', accident which killed Captain Blfrtdgs an. -crippled Wright, and It would be just like him to go up with Wright yet when the latter la rsauSr for business) agVlA.

" " v ' KEXATORS BT THE PEOP1JS. . : We ere Indebted to The NewiYork Sun 'for n outline of what If calls a Try nnt 'consideration of tha ques tion of the election of entor y "di rect vU of tli popple," s presented in The North American Review' for November by Mr. Emmet O'NeaL fie reviews, we are told, the steps which led to the Adoption bf the present system and declare that although, the I Senate "haa fulfilled the ardent hope and verified the profound wisdom of its creators by Us ability to check what has bean termed tha democratic recklessness of tha Hhuae on the one hand and the tendency of Executive usurpation on tha other, yet In recent years at powerful movement has been growing Jto destroy the very feature which in the Judgment of all former students and critics has been ths chief cause oflts excellence the Indirect election of Its members." "Mr. O'Neal finds," we ars again quoting from The Sun, "the first de mand for the election of Senators by direct vote in the platform of the so called Peoples party In 1S84. This wan ths organization which afterward became the Populist party, which was in effect absorbed by the Democratic party In 1 & 96. The Democratic plat form of that year declared in favor of a constitutional amendment pro viding for the election of Senators by direct vote. To the Populists belongs the credit for the discovery that the framers of the constitution" made a serious error in committing ths elec tion of Senators to the Legislatures of the States." Mr. O'Neal recalls the fact that 'the Populis, party was com posed of an amalgamation of Green back, Socialist and other political Or ganisations,' and that 'while Its mem bership was largely composed Of sin cere and earnest men, its theories challenged every principle of sound economics and repudiated the funda mental doctrines on which our Institu tions were based.' " The Sun says further: "Ths precise ground on which demand Is mads for this radical change in our system Is exceedingly difficult of deter mination. The advantages which would accrue from such a ohange are a least obscure. Throughout all the proceedings of ths constitutional convention the framers of the constitution kept clearly in mind the grave danger of legislation responding to a temporary popular excite ment or enthusiasm. The House, chosen by popular vote, is directly responsive to suoh movements. The Senate, chosen by indirect vote, stands as a check and a restraint in times of popular impulse or passion. To put the Senate upon ths same footing, as the Housa, with no dif ference except that of term of service, is to open the door to endless evils result ing from hasty and 111 considered action; The proposal Is, says Mr. O'Neal, 'the very first serious effort ever made to al ter the very framework of the constitu tion, to break down the barriers which distinguish the Senate from the House, and to create two legislative chambers whose only practical difference will be the tenure of its members.' With such a change, how long would it be before the term of office was equalised T With the term of office equalized, all difference between the houses would practically dis appear and no check whatever would, re main In times of popular hysteria. "Such fault as there is does not lie in the present system and is not curable by the system proposed as a substitute. The fault lies with the electors themselves. They and they alone control the Legisla tures, by which the Senators are chosen. The test of the whole matter lies In ths question whether the House, taken aa a series of units, or In I La history collec tively, displays orhas ever displayed a higher order of intelligence, patriotism. sanity, ripe Judgment or fidelity to the highest welfare of the publlo than haa been snown by tlie Ben te." We quote the foregoing as well for the argument aa to remind our read ers how long sinoe and whence arose this demand for the election of United States Senators by vote of the people, which has slncebeen realised in large part by subversion or evasion of the constitution by means of the senato rial primary system. It came from our friends, the Populists of whom, God forbid, we should ever again aay ill and to whom we apologise Tor all the ill said, of them in the past, seeing that they have engrafted their policies upon the Democratic party, which ex-i plains why that party has, aa Tha Sun saya, "absorbed them, for the moat part. It la not unprofitable, amidst It all. for the people of the United States to pause and consider whether they are likely to Improve upon this feature of a constitution written and adopted by the wisest men of an age of as wise men as the world has wit nessed for reasons which have not been successfully assailed and can never be. Under the election law, a citation from which 's furnished The Ob server by a friend, the State board of canvassers meets on the Thursday following the third Monday after the election, which this year is the Jtth Inst., the last Thursday in the month, which Is always Thanksgiving Day, to begin the canvass of the vote. Ad journment will of course be taken that day end it will probably be sev eral days afterward when the result is announced. An explanation as to why there should be e lapse ot twenty-two days between the election and the meeting of the board of can vassers Is still lacking.. It la now suf ficiently well known that the majority of Governor-elect Kitchln la around 17,000, but the standing of all of the candidates is of interest or wss a week ago. Before It Is known this Interest will have for the moat part subsided. Of course there was an accumula tion of wrath, which had long been growing, between the Coopers and ex. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, whom, they, waylaid and murdered Monday evening, but how slight the final provocation was is seen by tha publi cation in yesterday's dispatches Ot Mr. Carmack' last editorial reference to Colonel Cooper. It was brief, bright and catchy, and. Judged by surface Indications, was written te - perfect good temper.' .There was bo insult In It; no reflection, direct or remote, upon Character; nothing which could have Incited a man of any self-restraint to One thing Is happily certain, about the eusjssorshtp to Senator ' piatt, now nnder discussion.

Or doss ' he Intend next March to take hi stand near President-elect and Chief Justice and In- Uerpose at eloquent protest against proceeding with the Inauguration?

Western North Carolina? Republi can claim that the Republican) stronghold of the nation la BhelVon Laurel, Madison, county, where there are Sit registered votes and where oa the Ird Taft received til and Bryan none. Until recently there was one Democrat in the township, according to ths testimony of The Aheville Oasette-News, but he died, whether violently or to escape his association, Is not stated. The murder record of Shelton Laurel Is not given out It 4s no doubt long. At all events it la apparent from its election returns that It Is In ths gall of bitterness and the bonds of Iniquity. It Is e rather singular situation that has arisen out of the creation of the new county of Lee and the election by it of a member of the lower house of the Legislature without a provision, for seating him. The constitution limits the membership of the House to one hundred and twenty and pre- scribes that each county shall have at least one member. Lee's representa tive would raise the number to one hundred and twenty-one members or what the North Carolina distillers that were would have called an ''over- plush" of one.

When it comes to in wiu oi tne majority there Is no running atUir false gods. The oratorical attempts of ths demagogue may arouse Hhs cheers of his hearers for ths tlm. but the sober thought Dver night dispels any Illusions. President-elect Taft has every op portunity before him to make a rec ord, wmcn we Deneve mm capaoie of doing.

One ef them is tnat it reus a community or tne sun light which Is essential te physical wellbelng. - Another is that ths im perfeot combustion which liberates unconsnmed particles of carbon also generates poisonous gases. A third Is that fn order to seclude the soot from thslr houses many persons shut their windows, and breathe a vitiated at mosphere indoors. TtA Wainwrlght does not Relieve that smoke exercises a germicidal Influence. .On ths con trary, he thinks that there la some re lation between the heavy mortality from tuberculosis m big towns like Monchester aad Leeds, England, aad the smudge with whioh they ars con tinually i overhung.
