ELECTION OF U S SENATORS
The General Assembly in en
dorsing unanimously as tliey did
the resolution favoring the elec
tion of United States Senators by
the people just as they vote for
other State officers have done
well, and have thus given impetus
to a movement that must event
ually, sooner or later, pass into
an established law by a change in
the Federal constitution.
Governor Hastings, of Penn
sylvania, is another convert to the
idea of electing United States
Senators by popular vote. In his
recent message to the Legisla
ture he says that the reasons
generally assigned for the pres
ent method of choosing senators
no longer exist, while the expe
rience of the century has firmly
established the fact that political
power can nowhere be so safely
lodged as in the people them
selves. The Constitution in its
present form, he goes on, opens
the doors for wealth and venality
to enter legislative halls, to lure
and tempt, and often to snatch
from the people by corrupt meth
ods the glory an the honor of the
great Senatorial office.
This expresses the situation
correctly, and comes as a timely
"utterance. No doubt Governor
Hastings' conclusion was forced
upon him by the example which
Pennsylvania has set in the mat
ter ,of electing .Senators. The
State has two men in the upper
House of Congress neither of
whom could be re-elected were it
left to a popular vote. One is un
der indictment on grave charges
and the other is the political
crea.ture of the indicted boss. And
yet there is a strong probabilty
that the Legislature will re-elect
Quay.
The sentiment in favor of pop
ular Senatorial elections is grow
ing. Several Governors have re
cently endorsed itin their mes
sages. South Carolina and Geor
gia have practically adopted the
plan by the submission of the
choice of a Senator to a general
Democratic primary, the Legisla
ture merely affirming - this selec
tion. The time is rapidly coming
-when the public sentiment will
iforce a constitutional chancre in
the method of electing Senators.

A WORD TO THE LEGISLA
TURE. A bill has been introduced in
the legislature to abolish county
adoption of school books, and in
lieu appoint a board of seven to
adopt school books for the whole
State. Aa is known of all men
the Goldsboro Argus is demo
cratic to the core, and in reason
and out of season it has stood for
democratic principles. -When the
political horizon was as black as
night the Argus mercilessly
lashed the riDg-streaked leaders of
fusion, and in the last campaign,
day after day, it denounced from
the house top the horde which
brought disgrace and shame on the
old State.
But while we have so much con
temptfor the fusion crowd, if inad
vertentaly they did pasa some good
laws, why, by all means, let those
laws remain on the statute booke.
The law taking the r election of
school books out of the hands of
a few men and putting the power
into the hands of the board of edu
cation in the several counties is
ona of the good laws, and by all
means should stand.
So far as saving money by return
ing to the old plan, it is the most
supreme bosh. The people of the
State were never satisfied with the
old plan of State adoption, and at
every adoption there were bad
smelling rumors flying all over the
State.
The fact ia, that State adoption
lodges too much power in" the
hands of a few men. That trend
is directly towards centralization.
This would do well enough for the
republican party, for the republi
can party stands for trusts and
monopolies and combines. But the
democratic party, the Hope of the
NatioD, st8nda for government of
the people for the people and by
the people.
Let each county select and adopt
its own school books. In every
county in North Carolina there
are men who are thoroughly com
petent to do this work. State
adoption is wrong. We have
talked with a great many people
on the subject, and we have yet to
find a man who desires to return
to the old pla of State adoption.
NOTES.
Raleigh Post.
There is one thing more the
Legislature should investigate,
and settle, and that is, how many
offices, with salary or per diem
attached, one person can hold at
the same time. It has been held
that the State law prohibited any
person from holding more than
one office, and the acceptance of
one would vacate, of itself, any
other position held at the
time of the acceptance. If this be
true, it has been numerously vio
lated by appointees under the
present administration, and this
should be looked after, -
It is also proper, as committee
have ordered,' that careful inves
tigation be made as to how far
the Legislature can go in remov
ing officers whose terms : have
not expired. It has been held, we
think, by.the Supreme Court, that
a person cannot be simply legis
lated out of an office before the
term for which he was elected
had expired. The office may be
abolished entirely, if it Is a statu
tory one, but the same duties
cannot be assigned by legislation
to another, even under another
nam. However anxious all are to
see all positions held by Demo
crats, the people do not wish the
laws stretched or violated to
hasten the departure of present
incumbents, duly installed ac
cording to law, by which costly
litigation will be brought about,
The institutions, specially the
Penitentiary, and - Agricultural
Department,. can be placed under
the control of boards sufficiently
increased by the addition of
Democrats whercan direct their
administration. This will certain
ly be the more orderly course
provided the decisions of the Su
preme Court are as we suggest
above.

FELLOWSHIP WITHDRAWN.
N. C. Masons Cut Loose From
Washington Grand Lodge
. No Recognition of N? gro
Masonry.
Ralgh Post.
The sessions of the Grand
Lodge of Masons yesterday were
of more than ordinary interest.
A resolution was passed wlth
drawing, fellowship from the
Grand Lodge of Masons of the
State of Washington for its
recent action in recognizing the
egitimacy of negro Masonry.
The North Carolina Grand
Lodge has only forestalled the
other Grand Lodges in the
Southern -States. They will cer
tainly take similar action, radU
cal though it is. The following
is the resolution withdrawing
fellowship, which was submitted
by the committee on jurispru
dence and which was enthu
siastically adopted:
Your committee therefore with
out extended presentations of
their reasons, which are almost
self-evident and whiah it will be
useless consumption of the
time of the Grand Lodge further
to set forth, are- of the opinion
that so long as the resolutions of
June, 1898, remain upon the rec
ords of the Grand Lodce of
Washington, the Masons in North
Carolina can have no fraternal
relations with the Grand Lodge
of Washington, nor with the
Masons in its jurisdiction.
We therfore respectfully recom
mend the passage of the fol
owing resolution:
Re&Olved, That the Grand
Master of Masons in NortnCaro
ina be directed to notify the
Grand Master of Masons in
Washington that, the . Grand
Lodge in North Carolina has sus
pended all fraternal relations and
Masonic intercourse with the
Grand Lodge of Washington;
that its representatives near this
Grand body be requested to with
draw as such representatives and
the representative of tbe Grand
Lodge of North Carolina near
the Grand Lodge of Washington
is requested to return his creden
tials, and is no longer em
powered to represent this grand
"body near that jurisdictioa.
Resolved further: T&at the
North Carolina Lodges are in
struoted not to admit to Masonio
intercourse any Mason who U a
member of any lodge working
under the jurisdiction of the
Grand Lodge of Washington.
Resolved further: That this
step is taken not in anger, but in
sincere pain and that the Masons
in North Carolina earnestly trust
that the Grand Lodge of Washs
ington may in its discretion see
fit to rescind their former action
and return to the ancient land
marks which in the opinion of
the Masons of North Carolina
have been invaded.
.Resolved, further. That the
secretary of this grand body
transmit a certified copy of these
resolutions to the Grand Secre
tary of the Grant Lodge of
Washington. '

Returned to the Owner 1 hrough An Ad
vertisement in the Argus.
Yes, advertising pays. It paid
Mr. Nathan Edwards, son of Mr.
Asher Edwards to advertise his
gold watch, which was Btolen from
his coat pocket while he was play
ing foot-ball on Monday after
Christmas. After missing the
watch Mr. Edwards came to the
Akqtjs office and inserted a small
lost" advertisment. The days
since that time have passed wear
ily by without bringing any in
formation until Saturday, as he
was beginning to despair of ever
laying eyes on his valued present,
for it was a confirmation present
from his father, his young heart
was made glad by naving the
watch placed in his hands.
The advertisement had done its
work, as it always does. The de
sired results may not be realized
the same day, but they will surely
come in the end.
The watch was stolen by Henry
Spell, a colored boy, while Mr.
Edwards was playing foot ball.
He sold it to another negro in the
country named Jas. Langston for
SI. 25. Langston walked in to
the repair shop of Mr. R. A.
Watts, Jr., to-day to have some
work done on the watch, which
Mr. Watts at once recognized as
the one described in the adver
tisement. Langston was thereupon
arrested by Officer Denmark and
on trial he proved that he bought
the watch from Spell, who was at
once arrested and placed in jail
and Langston was set free,

It Matters Not How Ob

- Obstinaia sores and uleers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treatment-,
soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before a cure can be had.
THROWN FROM A HORSE.
Mr. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas, writes:
"Abont three years ago my granddaughter,Ber
tha WnitwOod, was thrown from a horse, re
ceiving a wound of the scalp. Though under
the treatment of physicians forseveral months,
the wound remained about the same, until It
finally became very angry-looking, and broke
vut mio a running
sore. This soon spread
to other parts of the
scalp and ran down the
side of the neck, increas
ing in severity ,and fear
fully disfiguring her.
She was then placed un
der the care of the fac
ulty of a well-known
hospital, but even the
treatment she received
there failed to arrest the
terrible sore. Reading
of the many cures of
blood troubles effected
bv S. S. 8.. we decided to
try it, and it relieved her promptly. In a few
months she was entirely cured, and scarcely
a mark now remains where the disease held
fuU sway."
