JUDGE CLARK'S ADDRESS AT FBILA- DELPHI A. . Judge Clark said, in part : . There was a radical difference be tween the convention that met here ,,, in 1776 and made , the great Declara tion, and theconvention which framed Mhe Constitution in 1787. That was frankly democratic and revolutionary. It could only win by popular support. It declared that all men were free and equal and that all government rested 1 on the consent of the governed -and should be changed at their will.' Its declaration was unanimous. Every member signed it. , The convention of 1787 was reac tionary. It sat with closed doors. Its journal narrowly escaped a vote that it should be destroyed. It was only published after a lapse of forty. -- nine year. Out of .6$ delegates only 39 signed the Constitution and some of those afterwards opposed ratifica tion. It was ratified by the States with the greatest difficulty. - All the great guarantees of personal liberty, free speech, free press, and religious liberty, against general warrants and the like were omitted from the Con stitution, and were, only inserted as the first ten amendments because a majority of the States would ratify only upon the assurance that this would be done. Of the three great departments Kxecutive, Legislative and Judicial, the Constitution gave to the people .... tbe choice of only one-sixth i. e. one half of the Legislative and that the .weakest half. The Senate was made elective-at second hand by State Leg islatures, and the President at third hand by electors originally chosen by the State Legislatures and the Judi ciary at fourth hand, being appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and made irresponsible by being appointed for life. The people have captured the choice of President by forcing his election to be made at the ballot box and compell ing the electors to become figure heads, but the Controlling power in the Government is to-day the Senate and the Judiciary, neither of whom is elected by the people. When the Constitution was framed we had 3,000,000 from Massachusetts to (Borgia. $10,000,000 of annual revenue, 75 postmasters and $37,000 postoffice expenditures. The school master was not abroad in the land. Popular government .was new and the convention was afraid to trust it. Even if the Constitution had been ac ceptable (and it was not) when made, it would be a misfit now after nearlv a century and a quarter of trial of popular government, when the peo ple are enliehtened and the danp-er to property is not from the masses but irom we great power 01 consolidated wealth, against which there were no safeguards constituted for no dangers were anticipated from that source in 1787. There was not a single bank chartered till four years later, and ailroads and telepranh and oil mm panies and Trusts were undreamed of. By reason of the changed quarter irora wmcn tne danger now comes, aud for the near 100,000,000 from Maine to Manila, and from Porto Rico and Panama now under the nag, the Constitution of the Union ne5s re vision for an even stronger reason tnan mat wnicli has compelled every State to revise its constitution Ugain ana again. The Senate should be made elective by the people and in the election of President the electoral vote of each State should be divided pro rata ac cording to the popular . vote. This would destroy the system of a few "pivotal" sreat States, from irhirh alone, from the foundation of the gov ernment, presidents could be chosen and which invites the concentration of money to carry those States. For the first forty years Presidents came only irom Virginia and Massachu setts. Since i860 only four, New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and in the interim, New York and Tennesse bad the President sixteen years It would not do to elect the President bv ballot per capita from the whole Union as one district, as in that case fraud at every ballot box would become mate rial and civil war would follow. In the Convention of 1787, the proposition that the Judiciary should have power td declare an act of Con gress unconstitutional was four times voted down and never received the - votes of more than three States. The judges have given it to themselves, without any provision, express or im- ' plied, in tbe constitution to warrant it This gives them an enormous political power, that of setting aside tbe action of Congress and of the President by the ineviewable veto of nve men. iney suould not be vested with this great power unless chosen by popular vote and for a terra of years so that their action can be re Viewed by the sovereign power in the cnoice 01 ineir successors. -TtTrTmKrnrjtirin-ir-niti ..i. in number, could be chosen, aa the constitution provided, in 1787, but - the present -army-of 75,000 postmas- ters can not be so selected and are not Postmasters ought to be chosen every four years, by the people of each postoffice district, but give bond and . be subject to the same review as now. Kach locality would get the postmas ter it desired regardless of the gen eral political result in the Union. It is a great evil that notwithstand ing an expression of the public will, the new Congress does not begin its session for thirteen months and that the old Congress continues to legis late for four anonths, after its policy niay have been repudiated at the bal lot box. As "in "all '"other "couhfries," . the old legislative body should expire on election day and the new one should convene soon after, i .; It is too much to eapect the Senate , to abdicate its powers. Five times thIIouse has-voted a constitutional amendment, by an almost unanimous vote, to elect Senators by tht people. The Senate has always pigeon-holed 4 it not voted it down. Thirty-two States have instructed for such amendment. The sole remedy is for thirty States to vote for a constitu tional amendment as authorized by the constitution, ; BUGLE-BLAST FBOM HFPRESENTA TIVE CLAUDE KITCHIN. Democracy ol North Carolina Opposed 10 -ramie bratt la All Forma." N. C Delegation "Divided on question ol Legislative Graft." In his Washington letter in Satur day's Raleigh News and Observer, Mr. Pence treats the State to a politi cal sensation of the first magnitude, as ioiiows Since the publication of the inter views of the North Carolina Senators in this correspondence, in Which they announced tttat tney were studying the questions involved in the fast mail appropriation for the Southern Railroad before reaching a decision as to how they will vote there has been renewed discussion of tlip rwvdtinti nn the part of North Carolina members 01 congress. 1 ne introduction ot tne amendment by Senator Simmons, placing responsibilitv with the Post master-General for the expenditure ot appropriation served to increase interest and it was the principal sub ject of discussion on the House side to-day. Many of the members are manifestiHg-as deep interest as when the appropriation to the Southern Railroad was before the House. Rep-. resentative Claude Kitchin, when asked for his views on the amend ment made some highly interesting remarks. He said : "Well, I Hiink the Senator in offer ing his amendment, putting the granting of the railroad subsidy in the discretion of the Postmaster-General overlooked the fact that the bill as it is contains and has for years contained such a provision. Al though the terms of this provision of the bill make it discretionary with the l'oKtniater-enrnl. hp has al ways used that discretion in favor of the subsidy, and gives as one of his reasons therefor that since the ques tion, as fought out on the floor of the House, is whether the railroad should bate this special subsidv or not. .when the bill Is passed, he considers that Congress wishes the railroads to have it. He construes it as manda tor)'. He knows as everybody knows that no man votes for the subsidy on account of the discretion provision, but because he wishes the railroad to et the extra monev Granting, however, that Senator Simmons' pro vision makes it compulsory on the Postmaster-General to exerftse his discretion in granting or withholding the subsidy, everybody knows, except perhaps the Senator, that the Postmaster-General, who is chairman of the National Executive Committee of the Republican party, which has al ways favored ship subsidy, etc., rail road subji0ts and all other species of legislative plunder for the favored few. will use that discretion in favor of the railroads. Our people are not much interested as to hoar th chairman of the Republican National Committee in his capacity as Postmaster-General will use his discretion in granting or refusing this bonus to the railroads, but what -thev wish to know is how Senators Simmons and Overman will exercise their right to vote as 2orth Carolina Senators on the question of granting or refusing the $167,000 gift to the railroads. We wish to know whether our senators will exercise their own judgment as representing the people of North Car olina in the matter or commit the rights and wishes of the people of the State on this question to the judg ment of the Republican national chairman. Our people would much prefer their taking a bold stand on their own judgment for or against this legislative graft than to seek refuge in a provision which has so often served as a balm to the con science of those who supported it without clear conviction of its jus tice. "It is to be hoped," says Mr. Claude Kitchin. "that Senator Sim mons, who, as chairman of the Exec utive Committee, is the leader of Democracy of onr State, will not re- uuuiate me uemocratic doctrine ot 'Equal rights to all and special privi leges to none' by his vote on this question fof the railwav snbsidvl either as a member of the Sen ate Postoffice "committee, or as Sen ator on the floor. He is in a po sition to let the country know that the Democracv of the State still ad heres to that doctrine and is opposed to bounties, subsidies, or public graft in all forms. He has a treat onnor- o r 1 tunitv and his friends hnrw that ho will take advantage ot it- At least he will have the oooorttrnitv of at. tempting to procure by amendment for the people of the State and the South along the routes of the Sea- Doara Air l ine and Atlantic Coast Line, mail facilities equal to those en joyed by the Southern Railroad. - "ii ine aoumern Kanroaa is en titled to a special subsidv and the people along its line to extra mail facilities whv are not the Keahnard and Atlantic Coast Line railroads en titled to special suhsidies and thenm. ple living along their routes to the same -extra mail lacuities .' Speaking of the division in the del egation Mr. Kitchin said : Much has been said in our papers in regard to the division of the tfnrth Carolina delegation in the House on tnis vote, ibis is not tne nrst time a delegation has divided on the ques tion of legislative praft to the rail roaqs- wnen tne one ana a naif mil- roads.

F. Jordan, GENERAL MAINS ON THE PANAMA r, CANAL. In a lecture in Baltimore, the other day, by General Peter CI loins, of the, U. S. Engineer Corps, on the subject of the Panama Canal, he said in part: -- ' - - One of the big difficulties in the was the excavation of the Culebra cut. This cut is about eight miles in length and the engineering difficulties are tremendous. Only a limited num ber of steam shovels or excavators can be used at one time, and there is a woeful lack of available dumping ground. It had been estimated that it might take 12 years to cut through this cut. " v ' The project of a sea-level canal, the uenerai said, was essentially tne old and discredited one that has failed several, times before. . A lock- canal can be built in one-half the time and at one-half the cost, he declared, and the weight of opinion among the en gineers who had studied tht question was against a sea-level aial, not withstanding the report of the major ity ot tne board ot consulting engi neers. 1 WHY HE FAVORS LOCKS. In snmminor nn (General YTain crave the following reasons why he favors tne 10CK canai, wmcn nas oeen adopted by the commission, and is opposed to iqc sea-ievei canai. "The sea-level cafial will cost be tween $150,000,000 and $200,000,000 more. "The lock canal can be constructed in half the time the sea-level could be. "T'nder the lock ranal a hetter rpor. ulation of the turbulent river in fresh ets can be obtained. "The sea-level canal will be too narrow for the biccest shins. "The cost of maintenance of the lock canal yearly will be $2,500,000 less than the sea-level canal. "The currents in a sea-level canal are often so swift as to interfere with navigation. "A sea level canal wonld he reallv a lock canal after all, as it would have to contain one lock. THE LATE REV. JAMES KELLY. In its account of the death of Rev. James Kelly one of the best 'men who ever lived which occurred last week at his home at Clarkton, the Express of that town says : He was the best educated and the best posted man perhaps in Bladen county. During his active njinistry he was regarded by the other mem bers of Presbvterv as heintr one ot th oesi meoiogians in mat body. a good part 01 His lile was engaged in educational work. He was for a eood manv vears superintendent of scnoois in tnis county, and had taught scnooi considerably. He was at one time principal ol trie Clarkton High acuooi.. Several years ago Mr. Kelly was stricken with rheumatism, which followed him to the end. and at the time of his death nearly every bone and muscle in bis body bad been drawn, from that dreadful disease Besides this, three vears aeo he was stricken with paralysis and was an invalid 11 om tnat time. Althoneh so sorelv afflicted, he was the nidst patient man the writer has ever seen. At no time was he ever heard to complain of his affliction Like the Saviour he had so longserv ed, he bore it all with Christian forti tude. He has eone. but his influence sua remains, and no doubt on reach ing the other shore he found many stars in bis crown. Mr. Kellv was married somethincr more man 30 years ago to Miss Em ma Cromartie. daughter of the la . , o mented Georee Cromartie. He leaves a wife, three daughters and three sons.

They will be met at the Coast Line station by a committee from the chamber of com merce and the first thing on the pro gramme will probably be a short trip on the Cape Fear river aboard the boat used by Capt R. P. Johnson, United Stated Army, chief ot the United States engineer's office in this city.

"At 1 i :3o o'clock the meeting of the chamber of commerce will be held, and it is earnestly hoped that all members will be in attendance so as to eive the visitors a warm reception. It is one of the most distinguished bodies of men to visit Wilmington in a long time, and. every effort should be made to make the visitors enjoy themselves while in the city, and to im press upon them the fact that the busi ness men are clad for them to he here There is no better way for the latter to be made known than hv a larcre attendance of the members at the meetme of the chamber of commerce. "At 1 o'clock the visitors will take lunch at The Ortnn. and dnrino- the afternoon will take another trip on the river and possibly a drive over the city. They will leave on the 6:50 iruin. Major E.
