CKUM PACKER Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana, haa his bill for the restnctioa of Southr ern representation ready and pro poses to launch it on Congress and endeavor to push it through, bat it will not go through for he cannot make a party question of it, and therefore, the caucus screws can't be put on Republicans who are op posed to it. ,If he could do that, if he could make a party question of it and it were recognized as such he might get it through, but there are some Republicans in House and Senate who are opposed to it, who will oppose making it a party ques tion, and we do not believe Mr. Crumpacker will get much more encouragement from President Roosevelt than he got from Mr. Mc- Kinley, who suavely told hiin that he would veto that bill if it passed. Our private opinion is that unless it met with something like the unan imous support of the Republicans . in Congress Mr. Roosevelt would veto it, and there is little probabili ty of its receiving such support. "The man and the brother" has been before Congress so much in one way or another since his eman cipation and enfranchisement that Congress as well as ihe country has , become wearied with him, and about the only thing that could persuade a Republican Congress to give him special attention again would be party necessity, but they don't see anything in that now, for the party leaders feel pretty sure , f a solid North and that's all thejf need to hold power. But when Mr. Crumpacker essays to discuss his scheme and give rea sons why it should pass he will run up against some stubborn facts and figures that he will find pretty hard to get around or climb over, and some of the hardest arguments he will have to meet will come from his own party and from official figures fur nished by men of his own party. There isn't a Repub lican living who has any 'self respect who would defend or even apologize for Republican rule in the South during the days of the so-called "reconstruction." Such rule was made possible only by the ignorant and venal vote which was then so powerful. Reducing, if not absolutely destroying that power was the salvation of the South; the restoration of that power would be the South's ruin. It need not be asked how that power was overcome, whether by fair or unfair means, it was overcome, the result was the salvation of the South and a bene fit to the whole country which has acquiesced in the South's methods for self -delivery from an ordeal ai d impending late tnat no otoer civil ized people were ever before con fronted with. Whenever Republi cans speak of and compliment the marvelous progress the South has made since the dark and trying days of reconstruction, they pay tribute to the men who rescued her from negro domination and virtually en dorse the methods by which it was done whatever those methods may have been. They might say if ask ed that they do not endorse intimi dation the suppression of votes, counting out and counting in, and all that kind of thing for which the South has been upraided so often and so often ' charged with, but nevertheless, they do virtually "en dorse it all when they congratulate the South on the result and her de liverance. We have no doubt that Mr. Crumpacker has at times done this himself, when he wasn't think ing about the negro vote or schem ing to punish the South for elim inating the ignorant and vicious negro element, and done by law what she was charged with doing unlawfully. Under similar condi tions, and perhaps without as much reason, Mr. Crumpacker would find the people of Indiana protect ing themselves from such a vote, even more sweepingly than the Southern States that have restrict suffrage laws have done. There are Republicans, and very likely some Republican Congress men, who look upon these suffrage safeguards as good not only for the otates wnicn nave them, but for the negro also, because while they protect the States from an ignorant, venal and vicious mob, easily con trolled by the worst element of white men who pander to' that ele ment with the hope of getting of fice through it, theylso benefit the negro race by drawing a line be- tween the literate and illiterate, and giving a stimulus to all who care for Citizenship to' qualify themselves for it by getting but of the illiterate class. It has had this effect already in those States where qualified suf frage 'has been in operation.' f That being the case, the true friends of the negro "race .regard restricted suf frage as a boon: to the . negro and will not endorse punishing $he South forgiving this boon." "Y C 1 : More than this. There Is little doubt that -if .' Mr. Crumpacker asked the honest opinion of the in telligent, thinking negroes of the South, and an' .honest answer were given, eight out of ten would en dorse restricted suffrage as one of the best things ever done for the. negro since emancipation, regard less of "grandfather clauses" or any other clauses, because they know the effect will be to awaken more inter est among the negroes in their schools and more desire to send their children to school that they may learn to read and write and thus put themselves on the same plane, as far as suffrage is concerned, with the white voters. ' From the show ing made by the census of 1900, in ten years from this time there will be comparatively few negroes who care .to vote, who cannot vote, for the bulk of the rising generation will have complied with the require ments of the law by bat time and will be voters. This is the conclu sion that Wm. R. Merriam, Superin tendent of the Census, has come to, and he is a good Republican, who doesn't endorse Mr. Crumpacker's scheme, and shows in an article in the December Forum that the Southern States which have re stricted suffrage have simply fol lowed the example of some of the Northern and Western States. HOW FOR THE CANAL. With the report of the Isthmian Canal Commission in favor of the Nicaragua route, the Panama canal, which the company has been trying to dump on this country, is elimi nated as a delaying factor. The new treaty with Great Britain re moves another factor, so that now there is nothing to prevent turning attention to that project in earnest and beginning the work of securing rights which will give this country indisputable perpetual right of way and jurisdiction over the necessary territory along the line from ocean to ocean. Bills have already been introduced in the Senate looking to that. ' . -ni ' According to this report it will not cost as much to construct the Nicaragua canal as it would to bny and complete the Panama, while it can be completed in six years whereas it will take ten years to complete the Panama canal. Com paring the advantages and disad vantages of both, the conclusion is that the greater advantages are with the Nicaragua route. This is a matter in which the South Atlantic and Gulf States are especially interested for the Nica ragua route will be much nearer than the Panama route would be and better for small craft and sail ing vessels, with which much of our traffic will be done. Six years to complete such a work is not a long time, and therefore the country at large may be congratulated upon the progress that has been made so far and the prospect of an early en trance upon the work which prom ises so much for the commerce of the whole country, and especially of the South. THE PHILIPPINE BILL. In his message to Conjrress Presi dent Roosevelt, speaking of the Philippines, said "we have a more serious problem there." Verily we have, about the biggest problem ever undertaken by this Republic. It is not simply the problem of overcoming armed resistance, for while not a very easy one, that can be done in time, for there is no com parison between the resources and numbers and the fighting capacity of the men of this Republic and of the Philippines. But the solution of the problem of "benevolent as similation" about which we have heard so muchthat is another and a much more perplexing question. We might knock an armed Filipino on the head and turn him over to the buzzards, or chuck him into a hole in the ground and that would be the end of him, but to placate the surly fellow who is disposed to be contentious and to shoot or stab at the first opportunity, and make a good American out of him, "assim ilate him, so to speak, that is an other matter. Some idea of the size of this job may be gathered from the estimates of what it has cost for this year and will cost for the next two years, making a total for 1901, 1902 and 1903, according to the figures of the War Department, of $321,800, 090, to which is to be added the money expended previous to this year, about $200,000,000, so that our benevolent assimilation will have cost us by the end of 1903, some thing over $500,000,000 with a fair prospect Ahat - there ' will stifl . be more "assimilating" to be done. And what are we going to get forail that, for our self-imposed task of trying to make Americans but of Tom Reed's ffyellow bellies?" Grabs are costly sometimes. Mr. Wij, the Chinese minister at Washington, is doing a good deal of chinning against the re-enactment of the Chinese' exclusion act! He says all that the Chinese ask is. "fair play" and the same risrht to exoloit this country that other foreigners have. There are too many of them, Mr. Wu. We find it prettyhard to keep, them from slipping in through the cracks now, and if the' doors were thrown open there would 'be suoh a rush that there would not be standing room. .

(Coofled op Poitcrcd A5ir Baft bone 198 A Germam artist, who was anx ious to get to this country and did not have money enough to pay his passage, struck on the idea of hav ing himself put in a box and shipped as freight. The box was so arranged that he conld lie down in it to sleep and also for the storing of cooked stuff to feed on during the trip. But, unfortunately for him, the ship was about twice as long on the passage as usual, and consequently his supplies of water, &c, gave out, and he was about dead when discov ered in the hold of the ship on a pile of salt. The box, fixings, food, and freight cost him $12.50, when he could have gotten steerage passage for $25. But maybe he was too proud to take steerage passage. The latest in the way of fire ex tinguishing inventions is a discovery by a Chicago man of a powder which he puts into rapid fire guns, and shoots the fire out. On concussion the cartridge explodes and smothers the fire more quickly and complete ly than water would, and without one half the racket or damage to property in buildings. A company has been formed to build electric motors to carry the artillery which shoots these projectiles, and it is predicted that they will soon sup plant the present fire engines in use. A London physician thinks en tirely too much ado is made over disease microbes, inasmuch as every thing we eat, drink and wear has to run the gauntlet of these microbes. If people, he says, believed every thing said and written about these things, and get scared accordingly all they would do would be to get into a carbolic bath and stay there until they starved to death. CURRENT COMMENT. It is cruel in the Hon. Wil liam E. Chandler to open the closet door so frequently and drag forth the Republican bimetallic plank of 1896. Why does the gentleman dally with this skeleton? Washing ton Posl, Derru Of 21,329,819 males of voting age in the United States 2,326,295 are illiterate. In other words, one possible voter out of nine is unable to read or write, or to write if able to read. Nearly one-half of all the illiterates in the country are negroes, ana about 4o per cent of all negroes of voting age are illiter ate. Atlanta Journal, Dem. A St. Louis judge has de cided that a single slap received by a woman from her husband does not entitle her to a divorce. "It is only," says his honor, "when the indignities are of such a character and so long continued as to render the condition of the suffering party intolerable that the law makes them a ground for divorce." Just how much slapping a woman must re ceive to render her condition intol erable opens up another fine field for investigation and determination by the wonderful science of the law. Louisville Courier? Journal. Dem. What a lesson the industrial achievements of North Carolina con vey to Texas! The manufacturing interests of that State increased 133 per cent, in the decade from 1890 to 1900, showing a total capital invest ed of $76,503,894, in 7,226 estab lishments. Annual wages of $13,- 8bg,4d0 were paid, and materials used cost $53,072,368. The value of products was $94,919,663, an in crease of 135 per cent.. This in crease is not in one town or section, but is pretty well distributed over the State. The lesson lies in the fact that these industries have been developed almost entirely by natives and home capital, Jfouston Chron icle, Dem, A Bactac, Boarlas; Flo4 Washed down a. taleo-ranti linn which Chas.

Pearce's store, about 200 yards from Hope Mills factory No 3. formerly Bluff Mills, was burned just before 8 o'clock Monday night. Mr. Fearce and several others were in there a few minutes before, and be shut up the store to go to a singing, and had been out just long enough to get ready, hardly three minutes, when be dis covered the fire. The factory hose was used to prevent spread of fire. but was not secured in- t me to cave the store. The stock amounted to be tween $1,500 aud $1800. probably f 1,600, and was msud for only $300. Tarboro Southerner'. The whereabouts of Miss Cropsey. the missing Elizabeth City young lady, continues to excite interest and arouse comment. A reputable gen tleman remarked to the reporter this (Wednesday) morning that were he not under pledge of secrecy he could tell something of her. The scribe turned himself into an interrogation point and plied questions in every manner he could contrive to elicit in formation. From the answers here ceived he drew these conclusions: First, that no force bad to be em ployed to bring about the woman's absence from home. S-cond, that sne was well and in some auiet hos pita! or asylum, but just where the gentleman did not know.

He said: "You have forgotten me, Mr. Hoyt. You haven't told me what you thought of my perf ormance." Hoyt turned and during the brief space of ten seconds looked volumes into the eyes of the expectant young fellow, whose vanity a moment iair received a most withering blow. ''What I think of your perform ance, young man, would not bear telling in the presence oi laaies. x a jjest tell you privately,' ana wita these words left the stage. Tact of Italy's Queen. A little story of quite recent date shows the sweet oomplaisancy with which Queen Helene tries to steer the royal matrimonial bark, relates London M. A. P. The queen has very beautiful, wavy hair, which may be said to be her one vanity. During a reception some little time ago she had it dressed so becoming ly that one of her maids of honor could not refrain from compliment ing her on it. She said; "How beautiful your hair looks this evening, your majesty! It waves so becomingly I" The queen flushed with pleasure. But the king was within hearing, and as he has an almost morbid ab horrence of anything approaching flattery or praise she was unable to thank her friend for a compliment which she felt was sincere. Mme. X., of course, felt snubbed and re xnained silent for the rest of the evening, but when she came to take formal leave Queen Helene whisper ed to her, with a little smile: "Thanks on behalf of my coiffure, madame." One on the Shopman. Sir Courtenay Boyle was one of the best dinner companions imag inable. He had more stories than would fill half a dozen big volumes. One of them was of a stutterer who called at a poulterer's shop for some turkeys. "Some are t-tough and some are t-tenderr he queried of the shopman, who admitted the 6oft impeachment. '1-1 suppose there is a d-diff erence in the price V the customer remarked, only to be informed that his supposition was wrong. "I-I k-keep a b-boys' school," he said. "Would you m-mind p-picking out t-the tough ones ?" The shopman, with a wink, Separated the tough ones, and once more the customer asked if no dif ference could be made in the price. The poulterer was sorry that it was impossible, and he .was sorry, too, no doubt, when the customer said, "Then III take the tender ones." A Critic's 8areasm. Regarding the sensational meth ads recently employed by some pub lishers a London critic sarcastically says: "Presently we shall see one of G. A. Henty's books announced thus: 'Our office boy thinks this a ripping story.' Miss Corelli's next romance may be advertised after this fashion: "The author's house maid has read this book with en grossing interest and fully indorses the view of religion which it sets forth.'
