WILLIAM II- BERNARD.
WILMINGTON, N. C.
Saturday Morning, May 24, 1890.
THE NEXT STEP.
The next step, in all likelihood, in
the conspiracy entered into by the
Republican majority in Congress,
will be the enactment of an election
law to control in so far as they can
the election of Congressmen next
fall. Of the several bills for that
purpose that have been proposed
the Committee on Elections prefer
the Lodge bill, which will be report
ed to the caucus for its approval.
This bill has been changed some
what from the shape in which it was
originally presented, but it has not
been changed sufficiently to divest
it of its intense partisan charac
ter. The original bill provided that
the law should be put in force only
in those districts where a certain
number of citizens asked for it ; as
it is changed it is to be applied in
every Congressional district in the
country. In this respect it becomes
less sectional, for as it stood before
the demands for it would come, with
very few, if any, exceptions from
the South, and hence its application
would be practically in the South
alone. The severe and just criticism
which this feature of the original
bill met with probably had some
thing to do with the change.
The original bill also provided for
the Australian method of voting. It
has been changed in this respect so
as to accept it in those States where
the Australian ballot has been estab
lished by law.
Its partisan purpose, however, is
maintained by taking the elections
entirely way from State jurisdiction,
and putting the machinery in the
hands of supervisors, clerks, mar
shals. &c, appointed by the U. S.
courts, which will in nine cases out
of ten, at least, see that the ap
pointees are men acceptable to the
Republican managers. They do all
the registration, counting and certi
fying, so that if they be bold and
unscrupulous enough when they
haven't a majority they can make
one. by adopting their own methods
of arithmetic or by throwing out
under various pretexts votes enough
to elect the men they want to elect,
unless they are closely watched
Rut they will be watched. They
needn't have any doubts on that
question.
It is not altogether certain, how
ever, that they can pass a law like
this, for there are a good many of
the Republicans who are afraid of
the effect it will have in the North,
and who are apprehensive that it
might cost them more Congressmen
there than they could gain by it in
. the South. The Northern people
have been in the habit of managing
' - with their own btate laws, and Ke-
J
; publicans as well as Democrats have
been educated up to the belief that
this is a matter with which the
States have something to do, and
that -it is rather late after the States
have manaeed it for a hundred years
for Congress to arrogate to itself the
supreme right to do so. .
Following right on the heels of the
extraordinary extravagant pension
legislation by the House of Repre
sentatives, the hatfuls of private
pension bills that have been passed,
the millions that have been voted
away on public buildings, and sundry
other acts, capped by the McKinley
tariff monstrosity which was run
through Wednesday, the people are
not in a frame of mind to see
out into operation this election
machinery, the express purpose of
which is to perpetuate the pow
er of the men who in tnis
Congress have so grossly betrayed
the trusts confided to them and
trifled with the people whose ser
vants they are. There is no ordi
narily intelligent man in the United
States who does not fully under
stand the motive for this kind of
legislation, for it crops out so con
spicuously that therr is no amount
of language or hypocritical pretence
that can conceal it.
The bill may .pass or it may not.
If it does not it will be because they
are afraid to pass it, and take the
chances of arousing a resentment in
the North which might prove disas
trous to the conspirators and to the
party tor which they have been re
sorting to such wild, lawless and
revolutionary measures.
MINOR MENTION.
In the discussion of the River and
Haborbill in the House of Repre
sentatives, Thursday, Mr. Blanchard,
of Louisiana, argued that the time
had come when the general govern
ment should take charge of the Mis
sissippi river and provide for an ade
quate system of levees. He contended
that the government had the right to
do this and that it was its duty to
the people to do it. There may be
two sides to this question from a
constitutional stand-point, but in
justice and good policy there is
much to be said in favor of
the position which Mr. Blan
chard takes. The Mississippi is the
great water highway of the Republic
and also the great drain which emp
ties into the ocean the waterfall of
the vast area between the Allegha
nies and the Rocky Mountains.
There is no good reason why the
States of Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana should be required to spend
millions of dollars annually to build
and repair levees to protect them
selves from the floods which come
from the country above. This is
too much, and the people through
out all that vast section who
share the benefits of the river
as a great highway of navigation
should be required to baer a part of
the burden, which divided among all
would be light but imposed upon a
few is very heavy. More than this.
This Government has been directly
and indirectly endeavoring to secure
cheap transportation for the products
ot the interior to the seaboard. By a
proper system of improvement, com
bining the levees and the straight
ening of the stream, it is possible to
secure in time a depth of channel
sufficient to carry ocean steamers to
St. Louis or higher to ship the grain
and cattle of the West to Europe.
This would be a big undertaking but
it can be done.
The "original package" decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, declaring that a State has o
right under the Inter-State Com
merce act to prohibit the importation
and sale of "original packages" of
liquor from other States, is becoming
a national issue and is now com
manding the attention of the U. S.
Senate. A short while ago a Judge,
in the State of Maine instructed a
jury to pay no attention to' that de
cision as he had received no authen
tic or official notice of it, and when
he had it would be time enough to
consider it. Last Wednesday a Dis
trict Judge in Iowa, from which State
the case came upon which the U. S.
Supreme Court decision was ren
dered, instructed the grand jury to
pay no attention to that decision
and to report by indictment any one
undertaking to sell liquor in the ori
ginal package or otherwise in viola
tion of the State law. As far as the
retailing of liquor in bars or else
where goes we don't see that there
is any conflict between the State laws
of prohibition States and this origi
nal package decision. The conflict
is only with that feature of the law
which prohibits the delivery in one
State of an original package bought
from a citizen of another State. The
moment the original package is bro
ken for sale it loses its identity,
passes beyond the scope of that de
cision and within the lines where the
State laws have jurisdiction. This
is the way it seems to us and this is
the construction which we think the
courts will put upon it when sub
jected to the test.
Mr. Roger Sherman, of New York
who is arguing the Kemmler case be
fore the Supreme Court, holds that
the killing of condemned criminals
by electricity is contrary to the Con
stitution of the United States De
cause it is a "cruel" and "unusual"
mode of punishment. As nothing has
been experimented on yet to test its
effectiveness but dogs and calves
the cruelty part of it is no sufficient
ly established, and as for being "un
usual" there is nothing unusual
about it for about once a week some
where in the country the electric
wires snatch the vital spark out of
some unsuspecting lineman or other
unfortunate. As it takes about a
thousand volts, however, to send a
subject off with due dispatch, the pro
cess might be declared revolting.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, had
the floor in the Senate on the silver
question Thursday, and departed
somewhat from the beaten track in
the three-hour speech which he de
liyered. Daniel is a brainy man
and we never loon for anything
common place from him. There is
not much poetry in dollars and
cents nor much to inspire rhetorical
display, but as Mr. Daniel had shown
on previous occasions that he could
soar aloft on the wings of fancy, he
showed in this speech that he could
get down to the marrow of a
dollar and cent subject and ex
tract the solid substance from it. He
made some capital good points in
showing up the glaring .inconsis
tencies of our so-called financial sys
tem, which, as far as the levying of
tariff taxes goes, is American, and as
far as finances go, is English. He
held that the system of finance and
taxation should go together, and if
we had an Amercan system of tax
ation, we should also have an Amer
ican system of finance, which should
recognize the money quality of sil
ver fully and put it on a par with
gold, a companion metal which
should go with it as it had done in
all ages and in all countries.
STATE TOPICS.
The movement started sometime
ago by the Charlotte News to raise
a fund for the erection of a monu
ment in Charlotte to the memory of
the signers of the Mecklenburg Dec
laration of Independence has pro
gressed so far as to be an assured
success. An association has been
formed, composed of the leading
citizens of the city and county to
carry it out, and push it vigorously.
The Nczvs fund now amounts to
$2,300, and it should not be difficult
in a commendable movement like
this in a progressive and spirited
city like Charlotte to double or treble
this amount.

WHERE WOULD IT STOP ?
A Brave and Manly Reply from Represen
tative Mills.
Washington Star.
In answer to the letter of the
Farmers' Alliance of Milan county,
Texas, asking him to . tavor tne es
tablishment of Government ware-
for the storaee of agricultural
products, and the issue upon them of
treasury notes to the extent of 80
per cent, of the value of the pro
ducts, Mr. R. Q. Mills says: "When
th Government begins to take
charge of the cotton, wheat, corn,
oats and tobacco, it will go on and
in time hacon. nork. beef, butter,
cheese, lard, hay and all other farm
products will demand of the Govern
ment to take their surplus and ad
vance them 80 per cent, on it. And
in npnods of manufacturing and
mining depression, iron, steel, woolen
and cotton goods will demand to
be deposited and taken care of,
and money loaned to their owners,
and so will coal and ores ana lumoer
If the policy is adopted it must ap
nlv to all. and the power of those in
trpQter! in these products will com
pel the Government to extend its
paternal care to them.
Hp adds that the only way in
whirh the farmer can be helped is by
the success of the Tariff Reform for
whirh Cleveland foueht and fell.
Regretfully he declines to support
the Alliance proposition. In closing
he says: "I am too old to change
the convictions of a lifetime. I am

p-reat sum of woes which humanity
suffers comes from a disregard of

HEAT OF THE MOON.
A Puzzling Problem "Which Has Been
Solved.
London Standard.
A problem of great interest in
nhvsics and astronomy, on which
Tyndall, Lord Roose and Professor
Langley labored in vain, has been
solved, and trustworthy evidence at
last obtained as to the thermal value
of moonlie-ht. This has been ac
complished by Mr. C. V. Boys, one
of the Drofessors at South Kensing
ton, who, by means of his quartz fila
ments, has produced a thermopile of
almost incredible delicacy. By this
annaratus he can render sensible the
heat of a candle up to the distance
of a mile and three-quarters, and py
directing the minute disc of the in
strument to the moon he has shown
that the warmth received from its
reflected lieht is equal to that given
out by a candle at twenty-one feet
distance. The result accords witn
the anticipations of Professor Piazzi
Smyth. Observation seems to show
that, although the moon's face is
under the blaze of an unclouded sun
for fourteen days, it remains compar
atively cool, and that whatever Keat
ing it does ultimately receive is rap-
idly gained ana as rapiuiy lost.
