ASKING TOO MUCH.
The Philadelphia Press was re
garded as one of the month-pieces
of the administration before Mr.
Koosevelt became President, because
its editor-in-chief was a member of
Mr. McKinley's Cabinet, and there
fore when that paper spoke
on the policies or position of
the administration on any
question that was commanding
public attention it was presumed to
speak by authority. That was the
impression and it was doubtless cor
rect. The editor-in-chief of the
Press is still in the,Cabinet, and es
says to speak for the administration .
of President Boosevelt as it did for
the administration of President
McKinley, but to what extent it will
prove a mouth-piece of this admin
istration remains to be seen.
A recent issue of the New Or
leans Picayune contains an editorial
suggested by Mr. Roosevelt's decla
ration that he is not going to be a
- sectional President, which editorial
concluded thus:
"The Southern people ask nothing
but fairness and justice, and they fully
believe they are going to get them.
The outspoken frankness and the chiv
alrous bearing of the President have
won the South and made its people his
warm and admiring friends. No more
auspicious beginning of his adminis
tration could be possible than is prom
ised by his hearty, honest and gener
ous declare me nta."
In commenting upon this the
Press remarks that there is no doubt
that the South will have fair treat
ment under the administration of
President Boosevelt, who will fol
low in the footsteps of his predeces
sor, who was endorsed in his kindly
disposition towards the South by a
solid North, as Mr. Boosevelt will
be in pursuing a similar course. But
in return for this non-sectional
spirit, tne Jrress asks, "And now
what is the South willing to do to
show that it is actuated by this
spirit?" It follows up its interroga
tory and practically answers it in
the following:
"There is no question that the
Southern States are violating the Uni
ted States Constitution and taking an
unfair advantage of the Northern
States in the matter of suffrage and
representation in Congress and in the
electoral college. Four States in that
section have already adopted Consti-
forced these amendments on the
South by an unconstitutional process
when the South was in their power
and could not protect herself, if, We
say, they had shown the same loyal
ty to the constitution which the
Republicans who are opposed to
negro suffrage - now profess, these
amendments would never have been
tacked on to the constitution.
The South violates nothing when
she avails herself of the rights Bhe
possesses to protect herself from the
calamities that these so-called con
stitutional amendments would entail
upon hex. Everybody who knows
anything about the inspiration of
these amendments knows what it
was, that it was not regard for the
emancipated slaves, but to republican-
ize the South and continue the Re
publican party in power in the nation.
The leading spirits in that movement
did not deny this and some of them
were too honest or too shameless to
claim that they had any authority
under the constitution for propos
ing and forcing these amendments
on the South. Some of the Bepub
iicans 01 to-day wonid gladly see
them all wiped out if in return they
could get rid of the representation
the South now has, by eliminating
the nogro in fixing the basis of rep
resentation. By the way it isn't "the people of
the North," as asserted by Repub
lican organs, who are complaining at
the representation the South has on
account- of its negro population, it
is only the Republicans, who are
more concerned about the con
tinued supremacy of the party-than
they are about violations of the con
stitution. If, however, it became a
question and the South had to de
cide between reduced representa
tion and unrestricted negro suffrage
it would choose the lesser of two
evils and take reduced representa
tion. The quotation from Mr. Cren
shaw, of Georgia, doesn't amount
to anything for he is one of the
gentlemen who agrees with Senator
McLaurin that the Democratic par
ty should simply become a tail to
the Republican kite. It would take
a microscope of immense magnify
ing power to see the difference be
tween "Democrats" of his grade
and modern Republicans.
and Mechanical College, near Ea
teigh, who is quoted as saying the
farm at the college, which ten years
ago produced only five - bushels of
corn to the acre, now yields
seventy bushels, fourteen times as
much. What did this was, of
course, better and more thorough
cultivation, with proper feeding and
fertilizing of the land.
We do not know anything about
the characteristics of the land upon
which this corn is grown, but judg
ing from the yield ten years ago, it
is probably like the average ordi
nary land of Wake county, some
loam, with red clay subsoil, not pro
ductive in itself, but a splendid
foundation, if there be any soil
above it, for a good farm.
We venture to say that the mana
gers of this farm will not be content
with seventy bushels to the acre,
when the yield has been multiplied
fourteen times in ten years, and
we predict that they will within the
next five years report a yield of one
hundred bushels if not more, to the
one acre. They can do it.
We take pleasure in noting in
stances of this kind, because they
are valuable object lessons, showing
what can be done with ordinary land
by good methods and systematic,
persevering industry. We are all
interested in the progress of agri
culture, whether we live on the farm
or not.

tutions disfranchising the colored
voters, Alabama has a similar Consti
tution ready for adoption and Virginia
is framing a Constitution to the same
- effect. There is no disposition in the
North to find fault with these Consti
tutions so far as they seek to establish
an intelligent basis for the suffrage,
but when these Constitutions discrim
inate only against the ignorant colored
man and leave the ballot in the hands
of the ignorant white man, and at the
same time violate the Federal Consti
tution by retaining the voting power
of the disfranchised voters in the Na
tional Legislature and in the electoral
college, it is felt that the South is not
dealing fairly and justly by the whole
country.
"The present is a good time for the
South to take this matter into consid
eration. The events of the past three
weeks have drawn the people of the
whole country more closely together
and there is a disposition to be impar
tial and charitable toward all. That
this disposition is manifesting itself in
the South ia shown in a letter written
by Hon. Thos. C. Crenshaw, chairman
of the Georgia Board of Railroad Com
missioners. Mr. Crenshaw says: 'I am
one of those who believe in putting
more business sense and less sentiment
into our politics. I am in favor of
regarding as forever settled the issues
growing out of the war between the
States, which resulted in the adoption
of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal
Constitution. After accepting these
amendments in good faith I do not be
lieve it is right or good policy for the
South to undertake to disturb the is
sues settled by T these three amend
ments, either directly or indirectly. In
the two Carolinaa, Mississippi and
Louisiana recent constitutional enact
ments have disfranchised the majority
of the black voters in those States.
These dangerous experiments are un
necessary. The negro is no longer an
issue in the politics of the South and
and there is no excuse for disfranchis
ing him." -
SOKE TROUBLED "PATRIOTS."
There is a G. A. R. Post in Man
chester, N. H., known air the Louis
Bell Post. It seems to be troubled
and is disposed to convert itself into ;
a sort of alarm bell. The immediate
cause of its trouble is that Presi- i
dent Roosevelt has declared that he i
does not propose to be a sectional
President, and that he is rather j
proud of his Southern blood, and
of his Southern kinsmen who were
patriotic enough and strenuous
Mrs. Worthington, who was a
missionary in China, says standard
oil had a good Meal to do with the
Boxer racket. The introduction of
the cheaper kerosene displaced the
peanut oil, which the people had
been using, and thus destroyed the
industry of growing peanuts, on
which a great many Chinese de
pended. Then cheap cotton goods
came in and drove the home pro
duct out of the market, and the
Chinamen interested in these re-
enough to take a creditable part in I spective industries became desperate
the late "onpleasantneas" between
the North and the South.
This Post had a McKinley me
morial meeting a short while ago,
at which these declarations of Pres
ident Boosevelt were criticised, and
at which one CaDtr. Frank H.
Challia, not a veteran but a son of
a veteran, thus gave vent to his
troubled feelings:
liT m it 9a ... I
corneas mat ii was with some
misgivings I read the letter which
President Boosevelt wrote to a South
ern friend in which he said he was
proud of the fact that two of his un
cles served in the Confederate cause,
one as an admiral in the Confed
erate navy, while the other had fired
the last gun on the Alabama. I con
fess I have some misgivings as to the
future. I don't like to see the pend
ulum swing that way."
If this wasn't asinine, it would be
pathetic to see a "patriot" so dis-

that it was about

BOOK NOTICES.
The sum and substance of this is
that the South, to reciprocate this
spirit of non-sectionalism, must
cease disfranching negroes and re
peal all the laws that have been
passed under which negroes are
disfranchised.- This is virtually
what the Press means by itsanswer
to its own interrogatory. It is
asking too much, by a good deal.
But perhaps the Press would be
content with the disfranchisement
of the negroes, not only the illiterate
but all of them, if the South would
voluntarily propose or consent to
have her representation in Congress
and in tlje electoral college reduced
. in proportion to the number dis
franchised,
i jits contention that the Southern
1 States which have adopted restricted
suffrage are violating the' constitu
tion by doing : that and then con
tinuing to enjoy the same represen
tation they had before is not well
taken, for in the first place they are
not violating -the "constitution nor
anj of , the amendments, r because
none of - them - have disfran
chised the-' negro, but only
a certain xUmb of negroes, and
the restrictive laws are not perma
nent bitaimplj temporary, i the
conditions " being such C that the
negroes disfranchised can in a short
time qualify themselves for suffrage.
The cpmpatively 4ew exceptions
made m favor of white" men amount
to' little or nothing and would not
affect an election in 'any State, so
that this cannot justly give ground
for the complaint" as -to race dis
crimination which they make, ,, If
the Republican statesmen who
tressed because the President of
the United States isn't built on the
pygmy plan that he is.
The action of this Post attracted
the attention of "Private" Dalzell,
of Ohio, who i thereupon wrote an
epistle advising it to curb its grief
ana give its gloomy apprehensions a
rest, and wait awhile to Bee whether
the President was going to flop clear
overrsurrender to the South- and
"swing the pendulum backward,"
or whether he was only going to do
the fair, square thing and try to be
a President of the United States,
and not merely of one part of it,
such a President as Mr. McKinley
tried to be. -. i -
As this letter was written without
authority from Mr., Roosevelt, Pri
vate Dalzell submitted it to him be
fore sending it, and by him was
told 1 that it expressed his senti
ments, and furthermore that he
was not nearly as much troubled
about Louis Bell Post, as Louis Bell
Post was about him, or - words - to
that effect, from which we infer that
Mr. Boosevelt is not disposed to
let this Bell ' Post put any bell on
nim, but that he proposes to pur
sue the . even tenor of his way,
discharging his duty to the best of
nis aouity ana conducting his ad
ministration on the . broadgauge
plan. ; : -
In the meantime it is to be hoped
that CaptvChallit will recover from
the shock that upset him so.

Dr. Ruffin B. Ellis, a well known
member of the Raleigh Academy of
Medicine, died Wednesday evening
shortly after 6 o'clock at his residence
on East Morgan street. TTn
years ago Dr. Ellis was actively en
gaged in the practice of medicine,
when he suffered a stroke of paralysis.
He recovered sufficiently to partly
resume his practice, but his health had
never been robust since. Last March
he was again stricken with 'paralysis
and he had since been confined to his
bed. The Executive Board of the
State prison met here Wednesday and
transacted the regular routine busi
ness. Chairman Travis could not at

the prison self-sustaining. The only
hope of doing this, he said, was in the
fact that the current expenses of the

employed on the East Carolina Road,
numbering 125 in all, returned to the

SAM HOUSTON'S SECRET.
Way He Left HI We Jotaed
the Cherokee b Knterr.
"A mystery In which the American
people were once deeply concerned was
that which shadowed the life of one of
the most remarkable characters of the
country." writes William Perrine to
The Ladles' Home Journal. "In 1829
Samuel Houston, or, as he called and
signed himself, 'Sam' Houston, was
governor of Tennessee. It was in the
midst of a campaign for re-election to
the gubernatorial chair that Tennessee
was startled by a report that he had
resigned his office. He had been mm-:
ried to the daughter of an Influential
family. Three months afterward h
returned to her father's bouse, and her
husband resolved to pass the rest of
his life in the wilderness.
"Houston betook himself to the tribe
of Cherokoes in the Indian Territory.
He adopted their costume, appearing
In all the trappings of an Indian brave,
letting his hair grow down his back
and visiting .Washington with a buck
skin hunting shirt, yellow leggings, a
ouge Diantet and turkey feathers
around his head. No one could Induce
him to reveal the secret of his meta
morphosis and his abandonment of the
ways and habits of civilization. He
married again after he emerged from
his Indian life, and he lived to be an
old man, dying in the midst Of the civil
war, but no ope was ever able to per
suade him to unlock the mystery of his
life. Nor would his first wife, who also
married again, throw any light on the
mystery.". ... .
