In the resolutions adopted m Greensboro by the negroes who were refnaed recognition, although duly elected, by the Republican conven tion, while adviaiD? opposition to j C3 a. the Republican party dominated by Senator Pritchard, they proclaimed their steadfast loyalty to the party on national issues, apparently un conscious of the fact that the action of Pritchard's convention was taken with the knowledge and consent of the party leaders in Washington The Washington Post mentions it as a "significant fact" that Senator Pritchard, at whose dictation . the negro delegates were excluded, went straight from Oyster Bay, where he had a conference with the Presi dent, to Greensboro, where the eject ing was done. The programme of getting rid of the negro in the convention was not a suddenly sprung one, but was de liberately planned and carried out. It began in the county conventions, in some of which there was not a negro present, although in former years they participated with and sat side by tide with the white dele gates. The freezing out began in the county conventions, preliminary to the culminating freeze out by the State convention, ruled by Senator Pritchard, who had come straight from his conference with Mr. Roose velt at Oyster Bay. Of course Mr. Rossevelt knew what was contem plated and approved it; if he hadn't it would not have been done. Now since it has been done and the negro has been unceremoniously ejected from the councils of the party (although he will presumably be permitted to vote the Republican ticket) some of the Republican or gans in the North has undertaken to explain this action and justify it. The Philadelphia Press is not only a recognized leading or gan of the party, but it comes as near being an organ of the adminis tration as any paper in the country, the relations which existed between the President and Mr. T. Emory Smith, former Postmaster General, still continuing, if we may judge from the loyalty it shows in defend ing the administration policies and its high tributes to Mr. Roosevelt as a leader and statesman. In Mon day's issue it discussed the elimina tion of the negro from the Pritch ard convention, and undertook to explain it and defend it thus: The action of the Alabama and North Carolina Republicans in refus ing to admit colored delegates to their State conventions is giving the Demo cratic newspapers an opportunity to express some sneering opinions as to the Republican party deserting the colored man. There has been no such desertion, and the Republican party is as anxious to accord the black man his political rights as it ever was, and does accord them wherever it can. The situation is this: In every South ern State in which the Democratic party is in power the suffrage privi leges of the colored man have been abridged by fraud or by law. In five States this has been done by constitu tional enactments, and Alabama and North Carolina are two of these States. The Republican party is powerless to prevent this unless these constitutional enactments are declared void by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Republican party accordingly simply acknowledges the situation and says that men who by the laws of their States are refused to rote should not be allowed to assist in making nomina tions for which they cannot vote at the polls. The difference between the Republi can - and Democratic parties in this matter is that the Republican party says that while the colored man ought to vote, so long as he cannot vote he ought not to be admitted to nomi nating conventions; while the Demo cratic party Insists that the colored man is not fit to vote, but that he shall be represented in Congress. In the next Congress there) will be about fifty Representatives from the South based on the colored population of that sec tion, and la electing these fifty Rep resentatives the colored man will not have a vote or a voice. Every one of these Representatives will be a Democrat, and they will act and vote in Congress in direct opposition to the wishes and doMUcsI principles of the colored constituencies they will repre sent It would be well if the Southern Democratic ne&ppsrs would try sad explain this anomaly instead of sneer ing At the Republicans for accept- in a situation tbe Democrats . themselves nave made ana wnicn the Republicans sre powerles at pres- j ent to change, i The Press doubtless thought it i necessary to make some explanation IOr IOB wunu xwuuuuuaus up and more especially for the colored Republians, who, of course, are in dignant at this bouncing of their race by leaders of a party which they have so long and so submissively stood by. It is perhaps the beat ex planation and it could make, but it is a very lame one. It neither cor rectly describes the Situation nor ex plains it. When it says "the Re publican party simply acknowldges the situation and says that men who by the laws of their State are refused a vote should not be allowed to assist in makin? nominations for which thev cannot vote at the polls," it misreDresents the situation. This - A attempted defence and justification is sheer misrepresentation, the ob ject being to make it appear that the negroes of North Carolina as a race are disfranchised by law, which is a gross misstatement. It is only the neero who cannot read and write who is disfranchised by the suffrage amendment. There are still 40,000 negroes in the State who have the franchise and can vote if they desire, and these 40,000 are a sufficiently large body to entitle them to repre sentation in a convention of a party in which these 40.000 would out number the white voters. If the statement by the Press was true, and all the negToes of the State were disfranchished, its ex planation might stand, but it is not true, for there is still a large negro vote, which mav become twice as large if the negroes care enough about the franchise to qualify them selves for it. The fact is, the amendment does not permanently disfranchise any negro, for the way is left open to him to become a voter if he desires. It will not do to say that negro delegates were excluded from that convention because the negroes have no vote, because it is not trne, and the assertion discredits the honesty or intelligence of the writer who made it. and should have known better. As if this baseless as sertion were not enough it reiterates it when it says there will be fifty Representatives elected from the South based on the colored population, in the election of whom "the colored man will not nave a vote or a voice." As we have re marked this is simply arrant dis honesty or inexcusable ignorance in a respectable journal that ought to know better and does know better, for it knows that negroes can and do vote in all the Southern States, not as many as before qualified suf Irage was adopted, but still a very considerable number, in this State about 40,000, which is a potent fac tor if united. The Press, in its effort to defend the action of the party leaders in freezing out the negro, neither ex plains nor defends, but it virtually approves the action, and in doing so doubtless voices the sentiment of the Republican leaders in the North. MIHISTEE WU TALES 8 ESSE. The first time that a body of our laboring men was ever addressed by a Chinaman wag at Binghampton, N. Y., on Monday last, Labor Day, when Minister Wu Ting-fang de livered the address to the working men. It was full of hard sense, if we may judge from the following wired report of its substance, as we find in the Washington Post: Minister Wu delivered an addrets at 8tow Park to 4,000 workingmen, who gave him a most Cordial reception. Mr. Wu said he believed that labor had an equal right with capital to or ganize, and he was glad to see Ameri can workingmen so well organized in so many different unions, as that showed what intelligence they had. wnen you are properly organ ized," ne said, "study the question of the day. It Is necessary to have officer of the unions to look after your affairs, but in deciding economic questions it rests with you to decide what shall be done. If you leave your judgments and decisions to other people, a charge may be made againat you as a charge has been made against the capitalists, and I think justly, per haps, that too much power is in the hands of the few. I would rather see all workmen decide for themselves. for you may depend upon it that when a body of men having common sense decides a question, they are generally in tne ngnt." itDor ana capital xormed two op posing camps in uus country, and he asked if there was a rational reason for it "Remember," he said, "that the laborer of to-day may be the capitalist or -to-morrow, and, on the other band, the capitalist, by a few misfortunes, may become a laborer." . He said that the interests of labor and capital are identical and that there should be community of inter est between them, not strikes. Arbi tration was desirable, but "we should," he continued, "go further, to the root of things." In China a system of profit-sharing prevailed, whereby each employe re ceived a share of the annual profits. If any. There were no disputes wher ever that system prevailed. "To my mind," he said, 'this plan will pre vent disputes in any country that adopts it" We publish this because it givea the views of a man who has been a close observer and a candid critic of Americans and their methods and institutions, of which he seems to have a better conception than some of the native-born who aspire to leadership. In speaking to these workmen he warned them against letting the few do the thinking for them, adding: "I would rather tee SNAKE CHARMING Is not a popular occupation. Most women shrink from the sight of a snake and would faint at the touch of one. But these same women run greater risks than the snake charmer. How many women allow dis ease to fasten on them and slowly to crush out their strength. W'omanlv dis eases should never j be allowed to un e health. Female weakness, bearing down pains, in flammation, ulcer ation, backache, headache, nerv ousness, and other womanly ail ments, curable by medicine, are , nrotnotlv and per manently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1 1 makes weak women strong and sick women well. " I deem it my duty to express my deep, heart felt pratitude to you for having been the means under providence of restoring me to health," writes Mrs. Oscar Brown, of Oxford, Granville Co N. C. " For two years I suffered with female weakness, headache, neuralgia in various parts of the system, and after using four bottles of I)r Pierce's Favorite Prescription, three of his ' Golden Medical Discovery,' one vial of ' Pleas ant Pellets," also ' Lotion Tablets," and one box of 'Antiseptic and Healing Suppositories,1 I am cured." If you are led to the purchase of " Favorite Prescription because of its remarkable cures of other women, do not accept a substitute. The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, a book containing iooS pages, is given away. Send 21 one-cent stamps the expense of mailing only, for the book in paper covers, or 31 or w stamps tor the volume bound in cloth. Address R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. all workmen decide for themselves, for you may depend upon it that when a body of men having com mon sense decides a question they are generally in the right." This is Minister Wu Ting-fang's view, but it isn't the view of the Secretary of the Treasury, Shaw, and other Republican lights, who seem to hold that the people are not competent to dictate public ques tions in which they are interested, and that a few men know what is good for them better than they do themselves. That's practically the position that Secretary Shaw takes when he says that when Congress gets together if they find that any changes in the tariff may be neces sary and they can agree on tbe changes, they will make them, and this in the face of such a demand for tariff revision in his own party as was ever made oeiore. mr. Shaw, and other Republican leaders do not seem to have as much respect for the intelligence and sense of the American people as Minister Wu Ting-fang, the Chinaman, has. WHAT XIHD OF A PARTY 18 THIS? Assuming, as a matter of courte ous concession, that the itepuDiican party of this State may at some time in the past have been governed to some extent by principle, it would be an abuse of language to say that it is so now. Ever since Jeter C. Pritchard (then not a Senator) ma nipulated the fusion with the Popu- lists, and held his principles "in abeyance" to accomplish that, the party has been run' on the ' 'bold principles in-abeyance," expedien cy, dicker idea. Principle has been totally ignored, and the rule has been with Pritchard and his as sociates to trade with any party, or any set of men who had votes to swap, provided that party or those men would agree, to support Pritchard and his proteges for the offices they wanted. This is practically what they did in the late convention at Greens- boro. They put up a thing of straw and called it a platform, a thing which utterly ignored the leading issues of the day, ignored some of the fundamental principles of the party, turned the cold shoulder to the most loyal and unselfish element in the party, and went merchandis ing for the votes of "commercial" Democrats who were led to believe they would profit by entering into political partnership with Jeter C. Pritchard & Co., Pritchard manag ing the merger. What kind of a party is it which acknowledges that it has not respec table men enough in it to make up a State ticket, or principles enough left to make a respectable showing in a platform ? That is precisely the position Pritchard's convention put itself in and yet it professed to rep resent the substantial element of North Carolina citizenship and as such had the effrontery to appeal for support. The cleverest financier that we have read of lately was the young man who went into the town of Elnora, Indiana, last April, with a dress suit case and seven dollars in cash as his total assets, and started a bank. He ran the bank until he had accumu lated $10,000 deposits. One night he removed the deposits and also himself. The depositors would give I50O to see him and have offered that much to anyone who will bring him back to Elnora. Senator MaComas, of Maryland, has made the remarkable discovery, and annonnced it in a speech a few days ago, that labor strikes are the result of prosperity, when "two or more jobs are hunting the same man." If that be so wouldn't it be a good idea to have a little less pros perity and fewer strikes? DRiPIERCES BDSCOVEIISy FOR.

They were troubled at the prospective extermi nation of the festive alligator, and before they got well over that they were saddened at the heavy draw that is being made on their snakes for shipment to other parts. It seemB to us that they are prematurely alarmed, for with the salubrious cli mate down there, if the Florida snake is half as prolific as the snake up this way Is, there will be lots of them there when Gabriel's trumpet blows. Judging from the incendiary fires in the West Va., to coal mines the strikers must be warming up. BOOK NOTICES.

Goldsboro Headlight: Farmers tells ui that the cotton crop this season will fall below last year's harvest, as for some unaccountable reason the usual August crop was entirely lost. Cotton is now opening fast, in fact the season this year is two weeks ahead. Washington Gazette: Our citi zens will be surprised to learn that there are fifty-four bridges in Beau fort county wholly kept up by the connty, and at least forty to fifty more the commissioners are called upon to aid the road hands in keeping in re pair. Winston Sentinel: J. B. Con rad, who lives on Muddy creek, near Pfafftown, was in the Journal office yesterday with a live upland terrapin, that he claims is eighty years old. He bases this claim on the fact that 'T. O. 1822" is distinctly marked on the bot tom shell of tbe terrapin. He says this was done by his father, T. Conrad, who had a habit of marking terrapins in bis younger days. Mr. Conrad said that he ran across one a short time ago that he had marked forty years ago. Salisbury Sun: Mr. H. G. Miller tells us that Rev. Dock Hair stor, a colored exhorter of much local fame, was badly used up in an acci dent that followed a theological dis cussion in one of his meetings in Uni ty township last week. Dock was picturing the terrors of the regions of the damned when some awe stricken Individual t rew himself prostrate on the improvised pulpit. There was a crash, pandemonium followed and when Rev, Hairston emerge j from the debris it was discovered that he had suffered three broken ribs. Lumberton Rooesonian: A partial abstract of the listed taxables in this county shows that during the past year there has been an increase in property of a quarter of a million dal lars It is estimated that at least one half of thii increase is in Lumberton townahip. Dockery Lock lea r, a croatan,who farms for Mr. N. W. Jen kins, in Back Swamp township, sold his crop of tobacco, raiaed on four acres of land, for $700. The proceeds of the crop are equivalent to the pro duct of more than fifty acres of cotton of average yield at the present price.

The cotton market opened steady with prices five points lower to one noint higher ua der scattering sales by less confident longp, who were influenced by failure of Liverpool to fully respond to last night's "sensational" rise here. Nev ertheless soon after the call tbe bull faction took the aggressive and quick ly bid the whole list well above the closing figures of yesterday. January touched 8.66, which was lop for the bull movement inaugurated weeks ago. But at this level heavy realizing set in and later bear pressure became a factor for the first time in many days. The cause for this return of confidence on the short side and the less optimistic feeling in bull circles was the appearance of offi cial bulletins showing general and soaking rains over extensive areas of the belr, including Georgia, Alabama and Texas. The forecast promised still further rains for to-night and to-morrow, with lower tempera ture. Very large receiDts at th ports and interior towns, with large estimates for to-morrow's movemen't added to the heaviness of the market which late in tbe day resulted in a break to 8.44 for January.
