GOEBELISM.
The state demo
cratic executive and
central committees
J wiW meet at Raleigh
tomorrow. The occasion is la sialemn
one, in view of the revoiltutionary atti
- tude the party has been led, by the ma
chime element of the party working
through the democratic majority in the
last legislature, to ssutne on the suf
- frage -question, and the popular pro
: test this has excited. What such a
(( 1 )
protest can accomplish has been dis--
. closed In. Kentucky. Goebel attempted
- there What .Simmons, the chairman of
the democratic executive committee la.
this state, Is attempting here. GoebePs
' attempt divided his plasty and lbst
, them the gtovernorshdp. Throughout
the country the Goebel) election law
- t and' Goebel's methods have been ex
' - ecrated. The last legislature in this
s , s etate enacted1 the Goebel law into $ur
statutes. They added to it some fea
tures that are wtorse than amy that the
Goefbel law contains. In this act, and
in the submission of the Louisiana suf-
V frage amendment, after they had tak
en pains to send a committee to Wash-
ington to learn that that amendment is
a violation of the United States ,consti-
v. j tiition, they followed the reeommenda-
- ti'OaS f Chairman," Simmons and his
.W eanJbjtJtouj? little confederate, Joseph us
' .Danteis, expected to rid the party
over which thy fcv gJned contiiol of
' ' the mifvf Sttll? tamest ppo.si
3; - Jn at the polls. If C iWm
r, ' ' "tioii law is capfable of any other con- .
' f -fetfUetlOh. we wiould be pleased to have 1
either Simmons or Daniels explain it.
"At the nieettnig: to nnorf ow the two
democratic committees might receive I
, 'jf , froth the promoters of this law an ex-
t planaition of it and transmit that ex
, , " planation to the public. In view of the
' ' Verdict registered against the law in
"Jteintucky it would be interesting to
fanow if the democratic committers in
v ' f this state regard it as politic, leaving
- out the question) of Honesty which
was omitted when the law was enacted
V'- v tov tne party to remain, under the
' cloud of this disgraceful law. It would
- r s also be interestimig, In view of the re-
' cent verdict of the Georgia house of
, i representatives on the Ixmisiana
1 amendment, and the now well atteste-i
, f I public sentimenut against it in this
; t state, tk know if these committees
are willing1 to endorse the act of the
machine in its attempt to pQace this
' amendment in the constitution
' ; I North Oarfolinia. Of course if the
oommlttees declared in favor of the re
, J -, pefcil) of the SImimbns election law, and
V "the enactmeinit of an- honest 1 election
law,, they wou3d dissolve the plot to
. force through the amendiment. the rat
r' v iflcation of which; depends upon the
Simimkras law ; This meetings will be a

protest, the democratic party In North
Carolina has before it the same strug
gle that confronted the democratic
party ion Kentucky under the" outbreak
of Goebelism1. The leaders of the party
will declare for honest elections, and
withdnaiw from the attempt to deprive
voters of the right of suffrage by
fraud, or the people will talfe the mat
ter into their own hands. The choice
remains with the party leaders to say
which method of settlement they will
chtoose.
Tolstoi's article, VSelf-Sacriflce,"
which has already been noticed in the
Gazette, is apparently a puzzle to the
critics. Nohing- in tne literary line
from Russia since the "Kreutzer So
nata" has excited anlore attention, 'but
no one seems to know just how to take
it. The Brooklyn Eagle says of it:
"Self Sacrifice of particular importance
and imipresiveness. In it the marvel
ous seHf-surrenderi of the man is
shown in every guesome detail. The
apparent impossibility of living' the
Christ life is miade the imperative ne
cessity of following1 the high ideal.
On the surface a confesion of failure,
it is, as a matter of fact, a remarkable'
manifestation of the faith which may
yet move mountains."
The Washimgtoai' Post takes another
view and says: '"So TOIstoi has re
canted1. In his 'last rnes'age to the
world, "Self Sacrifice," he despairingly
admits the error of his doctrines and
the futility of the denial which he has
practiced. He says that the task of
reforming mankind through the medi
um of self-ialbnegation is too viast, too
stupendous, that a widening chiasm ex
ists between the rich and the poor, and
that countless humlan bodies and gen
erations of self-sacrifice are needed to
fill it. He 'afjso speaks of the ingrati
tude of the poor, of their whimsical
demands, of their utter lack of appre
ciation and tha. albsoute impossibility
of noticeteubly lessening1 want and
wretchedness. Could there be a moro
mournful spectacle? Tolstoi, aged and
dying in perhaps the last article which
his stiffening fmigers wil ever pen, r
noumces theb lief of a life-time." We
fancy the general reader will see
neither the triumph of faith nor th
confession of failure in "Self-Sacrifice,'
but merely the history of an experi
meet. As such it should have its val
ue as a 'Tiumian document" and take
its place amlorag biographies.
At the October meeting of the Bpis-
copliam club of Masachusetts, Captain
MahJan read "a paper on the relations of
church and state from the point of
view of Christian practice, in Which he
said, "Our duty to the state derives
from our duty to God," and declared
that while each citizeni must act ac
cording to his individuali conscience in
political 'matters the church as a whole
has "the clearest of duties to watch
sympathetically all that concerns the
state, and to influence its course by
unceasingly asking! that it may be
guided aright by the direct inspiration
of the Holy Ghost. This is the organic
connection of church andl state. We
cJannot 'be true to the one unless we
are true to the other."
The New Tork Sun says, under the
title, "Our Vanishing Pines," "Minne
sota is our last 'great source tof white
pine lumlber, and its supply will (be ex
hausted within the next five vears if
