November 25, 1902. —— n.i ■■ "LJ^ A MORNING TONIC. (Hon. Alfred M. Seales.) I worked as hard as any one to get the negro out of politics, but I thank God that I am not so narrow and so small of soul as to want to deprive him of a chance in life. We must be patient with the negro and we can afford to b-i magnanimous. JUSTIFIED BY RE3ULTS. About the close of the last session of the Legislature, there went up a hue and cry from certain parties that a great mistake had been made in the Senatorial and Congressional re-districting. In Sunday's News and Observer, Judge Brown paid a deserved compliment to Representative Watts, of Iredell, who was chiefly responsible for the plan of districting adopted. Mr. Watts, speaking for the committee, predicted that under the re-districting the Democrats would elect ten Congressmen and Forty-five State Senators. At the recent election just that many Democrats were elected. While Mr. Gudger only carried the Tenth district for Congress by 183 ma jority, the Democratic State ticket car ried that district by 1^,578. While Mr. Kluttz carried the Eighth district by only 1,458, the Democratic State ticket had 2,195 majority. The other Congressional districts all gave large Democratic majorities, the lowest being over 5,000. On a party vote, all the districts are Democratic by good, safe majorities, The Democratic majorities in the Eighth and Tenth for Gudger and Kluttz would have been much larger, but for bribery and debauchery of government distillers. While an independent was elected in one Senatorial district, the Democratic State ticket had 600 majority in that district. The lowest Democratic ma jority received in any district, claimed to be Democratic, was 352 in the Twenty seventh district, Forsyth county. The Republicans carried the five districts, which were laid off for them, two of them by very small majorities. Two years hence, when the distillery de bauchery will be ended,- they carry only three of the districts they carried this year. THEY ARE CATCHING IT. Already the superintendent of the State penitentiary has defended the Dover camp from the criticism of the Investi gating Committee. Today we print an elaborate reply from Mr. A. M. Scales, chairman of the board, refuting • the criticism of the management of that in stitution, and a like communication from loading public officials with reference to the Plymouth Normal School. There are others still to come. When the pub lic gets through with the report, the holes knocked into it will leave it great ly disfigured. It contains much valuable information, many good recommenda tibns, some very unwise ones, and some crude and undigested ones. The legislators and the public will read the criticisms and the replies and give the weight that is due to each recom mendation and criticism after full dis cussion. The committee no doubt ex pected that the institutions criticized would make reply. It is only by hearing all sides that a correct conclusion can be • reached. The resections adopted by the Edenton Street Methodist church in commendation of Rev. J. T. Gibbs, D. D., will be heartily seconded by the whole commun ity. Raleigh regrets to lose him as a citizen. He is one of the ablest and wisest leaders of his church. It now turns out that when he was a new Governor of Rhode Island lived in Greensboro. North Carolina. That accounts for his wonderful victory, so the Greensboro papers intimate. It no doubt accounts for his true and undefilet 3 . Democratic faith. The news from Washington Is that Mr. Roosevelt is determined to have anti trust legislation. Let us hope he will be able to secure it and then to enforce it. If he can do both, he will deserve the plaudits of the whole American people. Mr. A. M. Scales is the mildest man nered man who ever roasted to a turn an Investigating Committee. • MR. CLEVELAND ON THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY. The New York World of Sunday con tained as its principal feature a letter by Mr. Cleveland on the outlook for the Democratic party in the future. It is*as follows; My opinions on political matters are well known, and I should hesitate to make any further statement were it not for the urgent solicitation of the World, which is pursuing an editorial policy that must, in my judgment, tell for Democratic success and the public welfare. Moreover, what I say to the World’s representative will, I know, be entire ly free from the outrageous attempts lately made to represent me as indors ing not only undemocratic policies, but men who have unfortunately gained tem poiary Democratic notoriety. It seems to me 'that the Democratic situation is such as to awaken the satis faction and hope of every thorough and consistent Democrat. Our party has cer tainly regained its old-time fighting con dition and recovered the morale that promises old-time success and prestige. I think, however, while we can safe ly assume that we are not immediately threatened with a repetition of unDerao eratic heresy, there are palpable dangers to be avoided if the rejuvenation of De mocracy is not to be obstructed. The movement toward this rejuvena tion tends to a complete abandonment of our late vielding to the temptations of expediency, as against a firm ad herence to Democratic doctrines. The condition necessitates, in my opin ion, both in the enunciation of platform principles and the selection of candidates, a sturdy and determined march to the goal of substantial and thorough De mocracy. In other words, I believe that if the Democratic party is tempted, un der a mistaken apprehension of the meaning of the revival of true Demo cratic senthnont, to stop short of this goal and temporize by presenting to the people platform principles and candidates not entirely in keeping with an absolutely changed policy, it will fail to convice the people of its sincerity or to satisfy them that it can safely be trusted. Such a condition cannot better be de scribed than by the homely illustration of a man sitting down between two chairs. Such behavior would discourage sincere and thoughtful Democrats, now hopeful and expectant, and repel a large inde pendent contingent who seek relief from the heedless arrogance of the Republican party. It may as well be fully understood that any party promising such relief can not calculate that the people are in the mood to be deceived or cajoled by tricks of expediency. The movement now, under way must be pursued with thor oughness, consistency, and honesty. There need be no fear that a radical return to the true Democracy is danger ous to Democratic success. The history of the party abundantly shows that it ’is only departure from principle and yielding to temptations of expediency that have brought disaster. The hope of the Democratic party lies in the inevitable discovery by our people of its beneficent aims and purposes. Al ready the beneficiaries of the high pro tective tariff are so reduced in number and the benefits derived from protection are so palpibly lessened, even as ap plied to thß selfish interests of those who have heretofore insisted \ipon its continuance, that they are inclined to re vive with favor the adoption of the Democratic doctrine of a tariff for reve nue. The popular apprehension of the evils of aggressive expansion and its incom patibility with what has always been re garded as safe Americanism is constantly growing and cannot fail to became in the near future a most important factor in the political thought of our people. The tremendous growth of trusts, the immense business aggregations, and the manner in which they stifle healthful competition and throttle individual en terprise cannot pass long unheeded by the voters of the land. The stupendous governmental extravagance that now pre vails must be at length appreciated by the people as not only a drain upon the ir earnings and accumulations, but as ft most pernicious example, calculated to undermine the love of wholesome economy among our citizens. These topics and others which might bo mentioned, and the abuses connect ed with them, shou!! be bravely and uncompromisingly dealt with bv the De/nocratic party, as limy all involve Democratic principles. We hould hn.e sufficient faith in :a<’ intelligence and right-mindedness of our countrymen to arouse a confident anticipation that will speedily confide tlv* treatment of there vital questions to the parly wnUlt satis fies them of its intention to deal with them in an honest, unequivocal, and i a triotic manner. I see only hone and confidence in the future of the Democracy, but this hope and confidence are based on the belief that the party will be true to itself and true to its profession of devotion to the welfare of the people. GROVER CLEVELAND. Those folks who have been working up a broach between the patronage-dispenser (Roosevelt) and the patronage-broker (Pritchard) will soon have a rude awak ening. STATE NEWS. Dr. Price, a U. S. surgeon, who en tered the service from Wilmington, is reported dying at Fort Baird, New returned from the Philippines, President R. T. Vann, of the Baptist Female University, pleached in Asheville on Sunday and raised the $1,090 pledged to the debt of the Baptist University. A man named Jarrett. who fell from Beaucatcher mountain at Asheville and sustained serious injuries, has been taken to the hospital. It is feared be will die. Kenly, N.

Pou will speak at on “North Carolina and Its Future.” The Pee Dee Baptist Association last week raised $1,500 to be used with a like $1,500 to bo paid by the Baptist church at Wadesboro for the erection of a dorm itory for girls. The. Wadesboro Baptists had already raised $1,500 to pay the debt ou the $8,500 property. THE NEWS AND OBSEKVEK. TUESDAY MOBNING. NOV. 25. 1902: Politics and Politicians. The Caucasian devotes a whole column to endorsing Dr. Kilgo s charge of politi cal wrong by Methodist stewards, Bap tist deacons, Presbyterian elders, end Sunday School teachers of all churches. Mr. Leonard Tufts has arrived at Pine hurst and is enjoying quail hunting and looking after his large property inter ests there.—Aberdeen Telegram. Col. Julian S. Carr announces himself as a candidate to succeed Senator Pritch ard. Col. Carr has a warm place in the heart of every true North Carolinian, and though he was defeated in the last Senatorial contest, ’twas because the time was not ripe for his candidacy and not from any fear as to his fitness.* He is a great man and his popularity is net con fined to his native heath.—Williamston Enterprise. The Oxford Public Ledger urges Gen. B. S. Royster for State Democratic chair man and says; “He is a man of capaciiy in every way—a wise leader, a sagacious politician and a man above suspicion as to character. He is just now in the prime of a vigorous manhood—both physical and intellectual—and Is pecu liarly fitted to discharge the duties of chairman, and is also an able speaker. As county chairman 1m has led us to several signal victories. He is well known in the State and would make us a wise, safe and capable let dor, r:o let him be made chairman! BOY SHOT IN PLAY. The Big iDjun Didn’t Know the Gan Was Loaded. (Special to News and Observer ! Goldsboro, N. C.. Nov. 24. —Geo. S. Prichard, Jr., the 13-ycar-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Prichard, of this city, was severely wounded on Saturday even ing by being shot in the shoulder by another boy, about Ihe same age, who did not know the gun was loaded. Sev eral young boys between the ages of 12 an.l 15 years, were playing Indians out near Bellevue, a northern suburb of the city. Th w had their camps and w'ere defending them with fire-arms, which they supposed were empty. George Prichard, a member of a hostile tribe, approached the tent which young Frank Castex was guarding. When within a few feet of the camp Castex ordered Prichard tb halt, which he did not do, and Castex placed his gun to his shoulder and pulled the trigger, expecting only to hear the sharp click of the trigger. To the hor ror of Castex the gun fired and the whole load of No. 8 shot took effect in the left shoulder of Pritchard, who was not more than eighteen inches away from the muzzle of the gun when It fired. He did not fall but very pluckily told the boys that ne was shot, and asked them to pull off his coat, which was done at once and a handkerchief was bound over the wound, was then bleeding pro fusely. The young man exhibited con siderable cool nerve and walked a half mile toward home before he finally be came exhausted. He was taken to his home in a vehicle where his wound re ceived attention. The examination re vealed the fact that considerable of the muscle had been torn away and that the arm, even if it does not have to be am putated, will never be used again to ad vantage. A one-week term of Superior court con vened in this city today, with Judge Rob-< inson presiding and Solicitor Jones at his post. The entire term will be taken up, doubtless with the trial of criminal cases, there being three capital cases on the docket: that of Winn, colored, for the killing of his cousin at Mt. Olive; Pritch ard, white, for the murder of his wife,* near Eureka, and that of a negro for as-t sault upon an old colored woman near Fremont. H. & B. Beer’s Market Letter (Special to the News and Observer.) New Orleans, La., Nov. 24. —Liverpool was much better than expected, conse quently our market opened 8 to 11 points higher, eased off 4 to 5 on the liberal estimates tomorrow' at New Orleans, Galveston and Houston, hut subsequent ly improved 1 to 9 points from the bot tom on the continuance of rains in Northern Texas, the expectation of a freeze in that State over night, and the anticipation of a very small estimate from the bureau on December 3rd. Near the close values eased off slightly, mak ing the next gain 14 to 15 points,on the day. Manchester cables say that the firmness of the raw articles during the past week has stiffened the stand taken by producers and has hampered the operation of buyers, its advance, how ever, was maintained chiefly by specula tion. Offerings frem Tndia were unimportant and no improvement in the outlook from China has taken place. Rains were re ported in the western portion of the belt today and generally fair weather pre vailed elsewhere. The temperature ranged from 50 to 60 degrees. Showers are predicted over the eastern portion of this district tonight or Tuesday, while generally fair weather is indicated for the western portion. The temperature will fall except over the extreme south western portion, and it will probably freeze over the Panhandle of Texas. The claims of excessive damage to the crop in Texas, coupled to the general opinion that the bureau estimate will be very small on December 3rd, has occasioned a reaction of 60 points from the bottom. This is certaintly a sharp and rapid en hancement and discounts a great deal in the situation. We therefore suggest that our friends now work on conservative lines. The receipts, weather and spot demand will continue to regulate the future course of values. H. & B. BEER.

Blauvault, of Richmond, supervising architect of the new students’ $30,000 building, being erected by the Alumni of the State Normal and Industrial Col lege is in the city, looking after the work. He says it is bein" done very satisfactorily and progress on the build ing is gratifying. When completed not a dollar will be due on the splendid structure- Another delightful improvement, now under way is the Normal Peabody Park. Mr George Foster Peabody, of New York, donated $5,000 for beautifying the large plot of land owned by the institu tion as'a recreation and practice ground. In the office of Manning Bros., the cele brated landscape architects of Boston, there was a lady graduate of the Normal. Miss Decs, of Pamlico county, N. C. By rapid promotions she had become chief stenographer and confidential secretary of this firm. Exulting over this gift to her Alma Mater one day, Mr. Warren Manning began an investigation of con ditions, which resulted in a tender of the very best talent of the firm, as an additional donation, as a mark of their appreciation of the good work of the college. It is.said that this contribution would have cost $2,500, which means that the park will be a splendid one, where otherwise it could not have been. Recently four young ladies, students of the college, but who boarded in /rt vate families, were taken sick with fever and removed to the infirmary. Two of these have recovered sufficiently to go home, and (he other two are convales cent sufficient to sit up. There have been no other cases of fever out of the live hundred present.
