Friday, Juke 3, 1904 - CLXVSLA5D, THE PIVOTAL STATES AND THZ STAR DO. Oar esteemed and valued contem. porary the Raleigh Post ajs: "It Is oot bslieved that anybody In North Carolina will seriously contend for an ioilructed delegation to toe St. - Louli convention." Well we should smile If there was not a serious reason why such aeon tentlon should be made. We have too much respect for logic to go in the face of the situation that now confronts us. Aa we hare often mentioned, it is impossible for the Democrats to Blip the White House from under Theo dore Roosevelt without carrying the doubtful or pivotal States. Those pivotal States, with the exception of New Jersey, have instructed .for Judge Parker, while as a matter of fact the New Jersey delegation is for him and the greatest citizen in that State, in the person of ex-President " Cleveland, has pronounced Parker the most available candidate. These plyotal States have tried to "show ns the way to go home," the De. mocracy of North Carolina has been convinced that they have named the right man, and if these presents do not constitute the most palpable rea ion why North Carolina should In struct for the Sage of Esopus, then we are in the market to buy a gold brick. All over the country great sig niucance is being attached to an interview given out by Mr. Cleve land a few days ago. After having had time to look over the situation, the ox -President says he is con vinced that Judge Parker should be made the nominee, among other logical reasons being his conviction that "Judge Parker is a man for whom every Democrat and the great body of independent voters can vote unreservedly." Mr. Cleveland seems, however, to find greater sat isfaction in his observation that "Whether Judge Parker shall be nominated or not, his candidacy has been a blessing to the party, for the energetic exploitation of his name during the last year has made cer tain the Democracy's return to fundamental principles." ' Judge Parker's name has been a tower of strength to the Democracy and by means of his candidacy a majority of the Democratic State conventions have demonstrated that they have pulled off the side track onto the main line, it is no "reor ganization" that the Democracy is now engaged in, but a house clean ing in which the scraps of exploded falacies are being swept off the ground floor. What has already been accomplished scores a victory for Democracy whether it elects its candidate this time or not. Speaking of the platform to be adopted at St. Louis, Mr Cleveland laid in his recant interview: "The two points of attack in a po litical campaign are the candidate and the platform. If the candidate be vulnerable, not so much attention will be paid to the platform. But when, ar In the case of Judge Parker, the candidate cannot be assailed upon any supportable ground, the platform is ure to be studied minutely and criti cally by our opponents, and must be so constructed as to be wholly free from weak points." It'll an extremely fortunate thing for the great Democratic party that . it has within its ranks a man of the Irreproachable character, clean re cord, and marked ability of Judge Parker. The Republicans have not been able to level a single shaft at him, and. every characteristic of the eminent New York jurist marks him as the one American to whom the Bepublic can look for a sound re establishment of the wise princi ciples upon which the founders of thli government builded ai a guar antee of freedom, Independence and lafety. With regard to the platform upon which Judge Parker is to stand, we will warrant that it is already in the draft and that it will be one upon which the Party can go with cofl dence to the American people. John Sharpe Williams, Arthur Pne Gor man and other level-headed leaders outlined the Democratic policy in Congress, and the national platform will ring clear upon the issues which are to be laid down at St. Louis. However, Mr. Cleveland has this luggestion to make upon it: It should be short, treating only of the strongest points at Issue, and I am pleased to note that this opinion, as evidenced by the expressions from Democratic leaders and newspapers. Is crowing. There is particular rea son why this platform should be short and strong and thoroughly bottomed upon the fundamental Democratic doctrines, if Judge Parker U to be the nartv etndMtt party candidate. i luuuameuiansis (.not ' re" organizen") have swept the field and with Parker on a platform that will be four-square on the issues. ft A K mE M. IV t MM there will be a tremendous eruption of enthusiasm when the St. Louis convention finishes up its work. Yes, tbe Hon. Grover Cleveland, the pivotal States, and the Stab "seriously contend" that instruc tion! to vote for Parker meet the logic or tbe situation. Some others .Will ice it that way after it is all over. we hope the , Washington Post does not state it earnestly in this quip: ! i-ieveiana ar;res thtt Judo- ' faikir Is the Iog!ra cinJitUu Lt the President , b ' a" m symp toms Indjcatug i ii i tbe Democrats have no passion for logic In the interview to which we refer Mr. Cleveland said: I have belt- vtd for tome months, and I believe now, that Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, will be tbo nominee of tbe national Democratic convention Jor "the presidential office. Cleveland has got a good eye. He knows logic when he sees it. CAN KEEP SILENCE WITH IM PUNITY. A man who can aford to keep silent and is allowed to keep silent is an extraordinary man. Most men wonld have to hide in a bombproof, but Judge Parker can sit on the stile at Esopus and doesn't have to talk, for he has nothing vulnerable in his character and no unquestionable acts, private or political, that re quire him to do any talking to explain something in his past. The irreproachable Parker is the man for whom the country has been looking. This is the first instance that ever came under our observa tion that there is nothing assailable in a candidate's life. Judge Parker can keep silence with impunity. When hauled up in court to plead to the indictment that he had also eaten of the forbidden fruit, Adam straightway turned State's evidence. Eve became the principal defendant in the action, but Adam had to work out her sentence by "making bread with the sweat of his brow." Every woman in the land is prepar ed to believe that Adam got his just deserts because he went against his wife in the hour of her trial. Be it so that Adam made his excuse, but it didn't work any more than those of his sons who stay out late and in variably get caught in the midst of their prevarications. The decision of that Philadelphia judge who decided that a wife is en titled to her husband's pay envelope is nothing but just to lovely woman. After taking out all the -money, no generous man would for an instant refuse to turn over the envelope to his wife. Women's rights must be respected. An English scientist is out with the declaration that the earth is kept hot by radium. That scientist is in contempt of Jndge Peebles and Judge Purnell who hold down the boards in keeping things from' cool ing off In North Carolina. Of course no double barrel contempt is meant herein. The "full dinner pail" will prob ably not be obstreperous enough in. this campaign to make it necessary o have it put under arrest. After a fellow fills his dinner pail at the present increased cost of living, he won t be able to buy clothes enough to go through the streets with the pail. The papers are again reminding us of the trying time George Wash ington had when he crossed the Delaware. In after years when he crossed his wife, however, it is nat ural to presume that his experience minimized the tronble he had in getting on the other side of the Delaware. "Howard Gould, whose iather once cornered Erie Railroad stock, has cornered the duck market," says the New York Globe. If he could get some of the lame ducks out of the political barn-yard his duck trust would serve a good pur pose. Says an exchange: "What nlea can Judge Purnell put up for his action in putting Editor Josephus Daniels In jail?" On the plea of "self-defence," we have a sneaking notion, because the editor was do ing his best to put the Judge "In a hole." We ought to have differential laws and sentences for people who steal from the government or State. A thief who steals from an individual ought to be punished, but not so se verely as the one who steals from all the people In a bunch. "Seats free. All are welcome." is the announcement made bv sev eral of our city churches. In one oi them the welcome is so cordial that even the pews become attached to the occupants. This is the un varnished truth. Anyhow, editors mav take eon. solation from the fact that there are worse places than a jail. The "lions' den" and the "fiery furnace" have the jail skinned to death. The Jail will begin to consider itself quite as respectable as the canctum If editors are to iret In the mix-up with jail birds. i Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, u they cannot reach the II IMIM MUtlnil illiVn M 1 r" tT"""" m cr. i uero is omj one way toJ,nJ'.0 dBes. n that It by constitutional &H???u.thJ9 ?con lining of the Eunachen Tube. boob pr tmpertect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, Deafness is th resalt, and nnless the in- fl ammo Mm 1. a.i -- , . 1 .

Cosrt Uatll This Moriloc-Jodce Leaves for the Iceoe Inpreme Court Deci sions Ksleffh News. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. O., My 81. An order luoenedeas was received here to day from Obief Justice Fuller, of the United 8Utes 8apreme Court, staying the order of Judge Purnell appointing Thomas D. Meares and V. K. McBee, co-receivers of the' A. & N. O. Railroad, and ordering that the property be left in the hands of its officers until a hearing of the appeal in the Circuit Court of Appeals at Raleigh at the next term. The ap pellants' $25,000 bond pending a hear ing of this order prevented the re ceivers from taking charge of the road to-day at Newborn. Governor Aycock said in speaking of interference of Chief Justice Fuller, that if this order had not been made, he should have felt it his duty to call the Legislature in extra session with a view to having a thorough investi gation of not only the condition of the road, but of the men and motives be hind this unholy effort to put the road Into the hands of a receiver, It being perfectly apparent that Ostensible Plaintiff Cuyler has nothing what ever to do with the suit. Ex Gov. T. J. Jarvis, James H. Pou and. Attorney General R. D. Gilmer went to Washington In behalf or the State of North Carolina and tbey appeared before the U. S. Supreme Court this morning. Raleigh, N. . 0., June 1. There was an unexpected hold-up in the transfer to the regular officers of the A. k N. O. Railroad from Receivers Meares and McBee, who took charge yesterday, under the supersedeas order of Chief Justice Fuller for the officers to file with Judge Purnell a $25,000 bond and retain the manage ment until the hearing of the Cuyler complaint. The bond was made up and certified before the clerk of Judge Purnell's court this morning, but when counsel walked into the court and tendered it, Col. Argo, Of counsel for the receivers, gave notice that they desired to be heard in opposition to the acceptance of the bond. Finally, tbe hearing was set for 9 o'clock to morrow, when they will contend among other things that the receivers having already taken charge when the order was served. it cannot be effective, having no re trospective force. Counsel on both sides, are preparing for a battle royal to morrow. In the meantime the re ceivers are running the "Old Mullet," i the road ii known. There are many proposals now to change the name of the road to the "Eel," so hard does It seem for any readme to bold it of late. It was decided to-night that the Su preme Court will hear the Kerr, Car rol and Southerland writs of habeas corpus in the Judge Peebles contempt proceedings at 3 o'clock to morrow in stead of 11 o'clock. Many witnesses are to arrive to night and to-morrow, but the plan to-night Is to confine the hearing to legal argument, reviewing the whole contempt proceedings by Judge Peebles against the Robeson county lawyers, out of which the habeas corpus writs grew through the ordering of the three men to jail by the judge for making affidaril that charged him with drunkenness. The Supreme Court rendered iheaa opinions today: Vann yj. Edwards, from Hertford, new trial: Creech Cotton Mills, from New Hanover, new iriai; jucneui vs. Durham & Char lotte R. R.

C. Receivers Onsted. Raleigh, N. C, May 31. Two thousand dollars fine and cost was the penalty Imposed upon Editor Josephus Daniels, of the News and Observer, when Mr. Daniels was adjudged guilty of contempt upon a hearing in tbe Federal Court here this morning upon a writ served Monday because of edi torial utterances in defendant's paper Sunday morning with reference to the A. & N. C. receivership. The bear ing was the sensation of the year in Rtlelgh and the court room was crowded when the case was called at 10 o'clock. Mr. Daniels will remain in custody of the United States Mar shal until the fine is paid or there are developments upon a petition to the United States Supreme Court at Wash Ington for a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Purnell holding that there can be no appeal and that he bas no right to name any bond. Mr. Dinlels came into court prompt ly at the hour named with his counsel. Mr. Charles M. Busbee, Mr. R. T. Gray, Judge T. B. Womack, Mr. J. N. Holding, Mr. W. L. Watson, of Raleigh; Judge R. W. Winston, of Durham ; and Hon. F. A. Woodard, of Wilson. Mr. Daniels' counsel first asked for a continuance of three dajr, but Judge Purnell refused any motion to that effect. He said in substance that the remarks of Mr. Daniels in Sunday's Observer con stituted the strongest sort of intima tlon that he. Judge Purnell. had been guilty of malfeasance in office and was conspiring to take an unjust ad vantage or the State in the A. & N. C. R. R. rectorship matter, which remarks if allowed to pass unnoticed would bring tbe judiciary Into contempt and aub vert the purpose for which it was In tended and the respect to which It Is entitled. He said furthermore that Mr. Daniels must purge himself of the charge of contempt at once. He wss allowed until noon to file a complete answer. Mr. Daniels' answer to tbe judge's rule was in effect that he was an editor; that he conceived it bis duty to discuss matters freely ; that in ex pressing disapprobation of McBaa'a ap pointment as receiver, he intended no contempt. He denies that the act was in (he presence of the court or calcu lated to obstruct tbe administration of justice; that the constitution sais the liberty of the press cannot be abridged ; that the court has no jurisdiction since the statute of 1831. Judge R. W. Winston, of Durham, argued for Mr. Daniels, denying the court' juriadic tion, and sajing there had been no such case In seventy years, since Congress took this power from the court. Judge Purne?, In imposing the sen tence under Section 725, Revised Statutes, said he believed in a free press and a free court; that the answer A A . . oi me respondent mat no contempt was intended is contradicted by his editorials of to dav and his publics tion that six hundred armed men are ready to march on Raleigh from uupnn county. Tbe court had no personal ill will to Mr. Daniel; they are mem per s oi tne same secret order, but the courts must be nrotected. Raleigh. N. C, May 31.
