Br VtiUiffl BU BERNARD. WLLMIUQTOir. N.'C. Saturday Morning, Not. 7, 1896 50 DAHGEB Althongb Mr. McKinley jwill have a Republican House of Representa tives to o operate with Eim there will be no danger of any radical par tisan legislation, even if they favored it, for the Senate will be in the way to prevent anything of that kind. While we believe that Mr. McKinley would favor any legislation that he , thought would redound to the in terests of his party, be is not a South-bater nor a malicious or via dictive man. What he would dd&rml mis respect wouia dcoouc from a political standpojijfand he is a pretty vigorous partisan, but not a - . . . 1 M J But if he were disposed to move oa that line he would be estopped by his own declarations in some of the speeches made in Canton to delega tions of Southern pilgrims, in which he expressed his gratification at the fact that sectioaal lines were obliter ated and that in the contest that was then : going on they, knew no North and no South. The .oblitera tion of sectional lines was to him a matter of gratification. Possioly he may have been siacere in these utter ances, but quite as likely there was politics in them and that they were intended to neutralize the ventila tion of his Force bill record ia Cpjrff gres, to which attention washing called ', by Southern -Bemocratic papers; but howevejjfhat miy be, he has put bimgflf on record and estopped anyfsjujnal recommenda tions of a Drt'san nature. If he has re-Tpect for bis own declarations, e under the circumstances that these were, he w.H feel bound by them. ; ? -, 'y--': " "'". '. ' This fact, with the further fact that the Senate, stands in the way, is a sufficient safeguard against any attempt at Radical partisan legisla tion on sectional lines. The main thing the South has to fear in a political way from his elec tion, is that in securing the control of the Federal patronage, he will be in a position to contribute very ma terially to the building op of the Re publican party in the close State's, and being a zealous partisan he ; will not neglect his opportunity to do that. Pie judiciously distributed is a powerful incentive to party zeal, while- the attracting influence and cohesive power of the pie counter are known of all men. The internal rev enue service, for instance, under Re publican rule exercised a wonderful missionary efficiency in propagating epublicah doctrine and inmafcing proselytes, wmlendjCTTJemocratic rule It was an absolute injury to the party. In North Carolina we lost thousands of votes during the first Cleveland administration, and a great many this time by the zeal of the officers employed, who were either prompted in their zeal by the. sense of duty or by the desire for gain. They pursued the moonshiner, and the moonshiner and bis friends reci procated the attention by voting against the party which the pursuer represented. . t When the Republicans ran the in ternal revenue machine they acted in a more politic way. They pursued the small game, took them : in and let them off lightly, and they pur sued the big game, took them in when they could, and if they found them to be of the impressible order of men "compromised" with them and turned them loose. These com promises were . generally based on implied or stipulated conditions which were intended to redound to . the interest of the party. Uoforta " nately there is some of that kind of thrifty human nature lying around loose everywhere. With the inter nal revenue service, the postofhees, the U. S. marshals and their depu ties and the district attorneys co operating with i the State machine it is easy to see what a powerful aux iliary it will nave in the party work it undertakes. We do not apprehend any radical tariff legislation either for the rea son that the Senate will not be in sympathy with that. In the past campaign the McKinley organs and stumpers did not dare to advocate any radical changes in the tariff, al though they contended that it was an issue, but all they ventured to sag gest was a change of the Wilson tariff that would put the tariff on a revenue paying basis, so that if any movement be made ia that direction all they could' ask for .would be "revenue tariff.'.'.. Of course, their idea of a revenue tariff and the Democratic idea of a tariff for reve nue arejqnite (liferent, but they practically abandoned the McKin ley idea of a "tariff for protection ' with incidental revenue," in contra distinction to the Democratic "tariff for revenue with incidental protec- : tion." They have virtually aban ,.- doned the Republican and taken the . . Democratic position, the only differ ence being that they , would cot be content, with the amount of "inciden tai protection" a Democratic tariff would give. . ' '. The Western Senators, even those who "are not!1 silver "men, are not enamored of a tariff for protection, for they do not fancy, the idea of : their people ; beiog taxed, for the benefiuf,.Industries in' which they are notjinterested, and for that rea son they' will not lend a willing ear to protection propositions, while the silver Senators have more" than once publicly and emphatically proclaimed that there shall be no tariff ; legisla tion until something has been done for silver, and they, will adhere to that for they know now that it is the only way they can get anything done for : sliver. There are more politi cians than statesmen in the councils of the Republican party, and there Is no telling what baits they may throw out to the silver Senators, bnt it will be a pretty big one that will get them to bite at a "protection" hook. MIX OS MEMTIOS, Mr. Cleveland hastened to give voice to histtsfaction at the elec tion ofJ&fcKlnlev bv issutne Imme- riarttilMlnn his Thante. giving proclamation, the opening m- vocation of which is as follows: "The people of the United States should never be unmindful o the grati tude they owe the Gad of Nations for Hi watchful care wb ca baa shielded tbem from dire disaster and pointed put to them the war of peace and happi ness. Nor should they ever refuss to acknowledge witb contrite hearts their proneness to tarn a way. from God's teachings, and to folio with siniul pride after their own devices TW,nrv otilrl not nermit him to . j r. mention "McKinley or Bryan by nasfe j in this connection, but lf-fce had I done so the political inspiration, and 1 Mr. Cleveland's gra'lgcation at; the result could nothave been made more manifest lie the American peopleaegpt i the verdict of .'; the ballojbox as rendered and the de tested loyally abide by it, there are V ' - M . t . minions, ana among mem very gooa Christians, who fail to see it in the light that the Presidential prayer ia yoker does, and will deem it : the more proper thing to devoutly re cognize God's fatherly care and lov ing protection, without directly or indicrectly associating His. holy name in any way with 3 ark Hanna's methods. Mr. Cleveland has done himself no credit either as a Presi dent or a Christian by this almost sacrilegious invocation to prayer. It has been quite evident ever since the campaign in this State opened that the Republican machine managers ; were well supplied with money and that they, were using it freely; They played Mark Hanna with the confident claims they made that the State could be carried for McKinley and thus they secured a big boodle supply from him, which they would not have got if he had not been persuaded that there was a fighting chance for McKinley. As bearing npon this, we clip the fol lowing from the Raleigh News and Observer, which, no doubt, had pretty good grounds for what it says : ' '-This year, up to the dav that the Re publican committee put the chairman of the Populist State Committee on us ticket for State Auditor, forty thousand dollars bad been sent by the National Committee to the State Committee td be used here. On the day after that. the Republican State chairman packed his grip-sack and went North and got an other big pile wbich he "put ittto circu lation." How much this was we have not yet ascertained. Bat about : the same time a Republican agent, acting for the National Committee, came into the S:ate and made a deal with certain par ties to whom be paid the mm of twen ty-five thousand dollars. As a resnlt of that deal, this agent reported to Repub lican headquarters that be had, with the money placed at bis disposal, made cer tain the electoral vote of North Carolina for McKinley. It it also known that a certain prominent Republican informed the Republican National Committee tbat McKinley could not carry North Carolina unless they could procure the assistance of influential Populists. This was secarea. We do not believe that the Repub lican managers of the campaign ever seriously thought that they ; could carry the State for McKinley, but were cunningly playing this on the National Republican Committee to secure the funds to help them carry the State for the Republican State ticket, which got the. full benefit of Hanna's several contributions. In the middle of the campaign the reports we received from sections in the mountain districts where the hill side distillery is one of the Indus tries, were not encouraging, for the zeal with which the internal revenue officers had been pursuing the fabri cators of liquid exhilarants, .known for short as the "moonshiner," aroused - a bad . feeling which was turned against the party, which was held responsible for what was looked upon by the pursued as persecution. These people did not see and could not be made to see that the officers had a duty to perform, and that as sworn officers they had to perform it. They contrasted tbe : rigidity with which the, laws were enforced under this administration with the compar ative laxity under previous adminis trations, and persuaded themselves that the Democratic party was their enemy, from which they bad every thing to fear and nothing to hope for, niuch to lose and nothing to gain. To one who nnderstacds the situation of many of these people there is nothing surprising In all this. : Whatever the result of the election in Texas, the action of the Populists of that State in makin? a fusion witb Republicans, conclusive ly proves that they care nothing for principle' and .are only out for the spoils. - .Their policy Is in disgraceful contrast to that of the Populists of the western States, who are honest In their convictions, and vote ac cordinglyevidencing the posses sion of very much more intelligence and v patriotism than their Texas brethren can boast.

The following hypothetical question was put to Curator W. B,. Holmes of the de partment of anthropology of tbe Field Co lumbian museum: "A wan la suspected of being the son of an octoroon.. She ia dead and, so far as the man knows, this is also true of every one who might confirm the facts of hia parentage. Now, how is he going to prove that he is the son of m white father and a white mother! What physical evidence can he bring forward? What physical evidence oould bis enemy produoe to prove that he has negro blood inhimf" i Professor Holmes shook his head as be gaid: "I doubt if any man can answer that question, , An' octoroon is one-sixteenth black and fifteen-sixteenths white. That is whittling down the negro in the person to a very fine point. A pure negro, through some disease that would act upon the color element of the skin, might turn pure white. We will assume that. There would be do difficcly, however, in such a case, to prove by the shape of the bead, tbe proportions of the limbs, the foot, tbe features, the hair and a number of other physical characteristics that he was a pore blooded negro. The veriest novioe could do that. I take it there would not be much trouble in 'seeing' the black blood in a mulatto, simply from the general appear ance. Many quadroons are so nearly white that a northern man, seeing them on the street,' would not suspect they had negro blood in their veins, yet a quadroon has twice as muob black blood as an octoroon. An octoroon is the offspring of a quadroon and a white person. Suppose the quadroon mother's skin was almost pure white and the white father was a blond. The natural inference would be that the child would be white. But it would be nothing strange if the child should bave a face as black as coal and woolly hair, thick lips, fiat foot, flat nose, with wide spreading nostrils and, in short, all of tbe physical character istics of a full bloodied negro. - "I say there would be nothing strange in thatfor suoh oases are not rare.. Hered ity works the othorjway sometimes. -But that child, on the other band, might be tbe living image of his father, with abso lutely no trace or sign of black blood in him. Assuming that your man in the question you have asked me is of the latter class, I do not see how any physical exam ination, no matter! how minutely. made, would show that be had the least strain of the negro in him. - "Physical anthropology has not received the attention which it deserves. . loan imagine no study more fascinating than tbe study of the human .family, but yoa cannot study men and their families as a horse breeder studios his animals. A horse breeder, by judicious selection, can trans mit those physical and mental character istics of sires and dams to offsprings which will give speed, strength, beauty and apt itude for certain gaits. Certain -breeds of horses have physical qualities and char acteristics which are recognized at once. They are the resnlt of breeding, which baa become a science. It might be that hered ity in horses, cattle,! dogs and plants ia due to the same laws that govern heredity in the human family, and that assumption Is accepted as fact by many, but is that sof "It would be unscientific to take any one feature in a man and Bay that he has negro, Indian, .Chinese or. Malay blood in bla Veins. The color of the skin can be no evidence, for the 'whites', of northern Af rica and southern Europe are dark skinned, darker, in fact, than the quadroons of the southern states. The hair of the negro Is .characteristic, for it is fiat; issues from tbe epidermis at a right angle, and is spirally twisted or crisped. But a mixture of white blood cad change the hair. - A physical characteristic of the negro is the abnormal length of the arm and of the legs, tbe smailness! of the buttocks and their position. But the dominant - power of white blood can bring the arms hack to tbe normal length and change the propor tions of limbs and back. ' "These are generalities wbioh I am giv Ingyouto show that your hypothetical man must continue in a condition of un certainty nntil he can produce living wit nesses or documentary evidence tbat be is or is not the son of the octoroon." "Do yoa know whether it is true that black blood will show itself in a streak of color down the backbone? . "I do not know.' f "Is family likeness tbat Is, Inherited facial character more surely recognized in the pranht or full face?" "If the. likeness is there, I should say that It oould be detected more easily in the profile than in the full face that is, a similarity between two profiles is more ap parent than similarity between two full faces. But I. personally know a man whose face, looking at It foil In front, ia the living image of his father's face, but there is no similarity at all in the profiles. Chicago Record. Asphalt.

The lazy young persona who enjoy the extra snooze in the morning hours that all too frequently they have great difficulty in securing will probably rise I up and call us blessed when we an- i nounoe that! their preference shows a rare discretion backed up by some sound professional wisdom, i Getting up early in the morning ia to be commended as a necessity rather than : a benefit Phy sicians and scientists agree that sleep in the mornintr is healthful and restorative. and that children and nervous or deli cate persons should never be wakened until sleep leaves them of its own accord. This is all right and as it should be. but the necessity exists for early rising, and, therefore, must be met Unpleas-1 ant as it is, there is no alternative for the great masses of . the people, i II one would prosper in : business or any occu pation whatever, it is necessary to De on hand betimes in the morning. ; Why not then, simply treat it as an impera tive duty and stop fussing over as malrinjr people healthy, wealthy" and j wise? There are constitutions and tem peraments that are never at their best when deprived of a morning sleep. Ro bust and ' energetic people are rona oi stirring up whole families with early risinfr ideas. They experience no incon venience and take it as a matter of course that no one else should. , Early risintr is well enough provided one can rest at some other portion oi the day, but tbe hours of darkness were made for sleep, and as time for the most part is pretty evenly divided into day and night it shows that nature knew quite well what she was about when she arranged things. People have lived. flourished and grown healthy, wealthy and wise who got up at noon and went to bed just before daylight, but this ii by no means natural, nor is it approved by those who have made the subject of life and health a profound study. New York Commercial Advertiser. Fhotognpby and Duek& ; - One of the most remarkable accusa tions brought against the new photog raphy is that of an American Field writer, who says: -VI think photogra phy has done a great deal to decrease the supply of .ducks, which," he very properly adds, - "will be . news, no doubt," to many of his readers.
