Soveral subscribers have written suggesting colonization as the only sure and permanent settlement of the negro question; but if this were done it would deprive a larcre class of politicians who live by howling it : M : &i ii i ; "nigger in the woodpile" during cam paigns of an occupation No legislature has ever mot in this State that was as hungry for office as the last legislature has proven its elf. They not only did not abolish any xf the many fusion offices they had bo much to say abont in the cam piign, but they went to work and created many new offices for hungry pie eaters. Ihere were many things that Col. Andrew, overseer of the Southern Railway, was determined that the legislature should not do; and it did not do any of them. There was one thing that this overseer was determ ined it should do, and that was to whitewash the two Wilsons and re instate them as Railroad Commis sioners, and that thing it did do. There are a number of men in the State whom overseer Andrews and the other railroad bosses would have been willing to trust as Railroad Commissioner, bat there is no one they can trust as well as one whom they hare tried and found acceptable to them. This probably explains why Beddingfield was elected. We can think of no other possible expla nation. The Supreme Court of the United States has just rendered a decision upholding the decision of our State Supreme Court, declaring the Wilkes eonnty railroad bonds fraudulent and invalid. The Supreme Court of the United States, in their decision, say they express no opinion them selves, but that they follow their enstom in upholding the decision of the States' Courts in such matters. Thus the people have another object lesson of the importance of having anon-partisan Supreme Court like the one we now have. The News and Observer says that if the proposed constitutional amend ment results in disfranchising a Urge number of white men that after it is adopted that then the Democratic machine can be trusted to change it by substituting another constitution al amendment that will not disfran chise these white men. But how can the fifty thousand white men who will be disfranchised have any voice to.rote to change the wrong after it has been eommittsd. Im every vo ter think abont this before putting a haltar around his neck or th n..t. of his neighbors and then giving the nd of the halter to the heartless politician, after hi, own hand, are Recently certain Democratic and Repnblican newspapers have been londin denouncing trusts, out it?s noticeable that nof a single 0ne or the., old nartv f . 9 .

For more than a ytar The CaTCajMan hs bet-n p 'luting ont this dtnuvr, and it has especially warned i be silver Democrat! of North Caro'iua that the scheme was on foot, acd that that class of Democrat il the State who opposed co operation in the last campaign as advised by Bryan and Jones, were the leaders in the movement. It will take only 308 votes in the mxt Democratic na tional convention to block it and prevent the nomination of Bryan. The gold bugs have already publish ed a list of 311 votes that they are certain of controlling. Tho last Dem ocratic campaign in this State and the action of the last Democratic Legislature is the strongest kind of encouragement to this gold and mo nopoly conspiracy. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. r. u.- -,,i . ; j n TftIl , Rn.,tl,n.n o-;i n inis was a case wnere iroxier war injured in attempting to couple cars on the Southern Railroad, on- which there were no automatic car coup- I lers. The railroad claimed that Mr. I Troxler should not recover damages because he was sruutv of nee-licence himself, not being careful to protect himself from iniarv. The eonrt hnldi I on the other hand, that the failure of Iti.. :i j x .. the railroad to equip its cars with modern safety appliances renders the company of negligence and continu ing negligence, and makes the com pany liable for damages sustained by an employee even though the em ployee might himself have been neg ligent also. The Court, in the opinion, cites the fact that Congress has passed a law, as far back as 1893, requiring all railroads to equip their cars with au tomatic couplers, which the Southern railway, in this case, had failed to do. The court holds further, that even if Congress had not passed this law that it is the duty of a public carrier to provide itself with all the new inventions and improvements, the advantages of which have been proven by general use, and especial ly any reasonable improvement that will project life or limb; and that the failure of the railrod or any com mon carrier to do so renders it liable for damages to those injured there by. The opinion of the Court fur ther sets out the fact that in 1RA7 there were 1,093 men killed and 27. 607 injared in the railway service, while in the recent Spanish war there were only 298 persons killed and 1.- 645 wounded all told, showing that there were nearly six times as manv railway employees killed and nearly twenty times as many employees wounded as there were soldiers killed or wounded in a great and glorious war against one of the oldest king doms of burope. The Court further points out the fact that since the law was passed by Congress in 1893 re quiring automatic couplers to be put on all cars that while only part of the roads have complied so far with the law, yet there were last year 219 few er employees killed and 4,994 fewer wounded from coupling and uncoup ling cars alone, than in 1893 when the law was passed and when there was no automatic couplers, notwith standing the fact that there are many more trains and many more miles of railway, and therefore many more persons employed in railway service, than there were in 1893. These are very signiaoant, no't to say startling facts; yet in the fy.ee of meseiacts it will be remn,K- that that the recent Democratic leg islature tried to pass a bill exenaing the railroad companies from fn;-v. ing their cars with automatic eoup ers, or rather extending the time, in the face of the fact that hundreds ana inonsands am each year being uy cms criminal negligence of the railroads. This one fact alone an index of how far removed the ' legislature was from the people "uoir interest and how ZV" UDder the infle of CP?rat;0rnPOlie8 d trusts, J Th mre imPco to T?10118 and7 the railroads, to control the courts than J-Jo control the legislature.

It is to be hoped that North Carolina will he so fortunate as' to always have such a Hapieaoe Court. The difference between the last legila tnre and the present Supreme Court is almost as wide as the difference between cay and night. It is said that members of the last legislature seriously discu?std whether or not there was any possible way by which the legislature could abolish the court or re-orgHD'as it. There is no thing that the corporations and mo nopolies that contribute large sums of money to the Democratic cam paign fund o much desire as to get rid of the ptesent Supreme Court and if ib-ere had been any way under b'gh beavenrby whieh that legisla ture could have legisl&tel the coutt out of i xistecce there is to d Aubt it would have done so.

The T mi-Alercoi-f Give Soma Fac in Kepijr to a FaUa Chare Maria by I ha lir:ot e Otxtrver. Hickory Times-Mercury During the closing days of Con gress we marked an editorial in the Charlotte Observer which most un fairly criticises Sanator Butler, and laid it aside to comment on it. We have unfortunately misplaced the paper, but the substance, if not the exact language of the part of the editorial referred to is as follows: "Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, consumes a great deal of the time of the Senate, but nothing he 6ays amounts to a row of pins. He has never gotten a measure through the Senate and he only talks to occupy time and obstruct the public business at the cost of the people's money, etc." It is true that the Charlotte Obser ver and certain other North Caroli na papers have tried to make the State think that the above was a true statement about Senator Butler, not only by making such editorial utter ances, but by refusing to publish the facts and giving him the credit for what he has done. We can always find out mere about what Senator Butler and the other Populists ar doing in papers published outside of the State than we can from the D m ocratio State papers. Bat it hap pens that in the very issue of the Charlotte Observer in which the above editorial appeared, tlKM was published in it an ass elated j. ss dispatch, announcing the fact iu&i Senator Butler had succeeded in de feating the scheme for a subsidy to a Pacific cable company and had succeeded in getting the appropria tion committee to accept and adopt his amendment providing for a gov ernment cable to be built by the. ?(a vy Department and then to be turn ed over to the Post Office Depart ment to be operated as & part of the Postal system. It was noticeable, however, that the Cnarlotte Observer put this dispatch on its fourth page in an insignificant corner next to ad vertising and put no headlines over it, while su,ch papers as the New York World and the New York Jour nal of the same day published the same news item on their front pages with prominent headlines. This is simply one illustration of the splendid work that Senator But ler and the other Populist Congress men and Senators are constantly do ing in Washington, and is , an illus tration of the unfairness of many Democratic, newspapers in North Carolina in suppressing the news and, in editorially misrepresenting them. Who was it that exposed tho Ar mor. Plate frauds and stopped the steal and offered an amendment pro viding for the estahshment of a government arusr factorv and passed U through the Senate at this iasi Mssur, of Congress? It was this w ''vlr. Butler of North Caroli nV who, the Charlotte Obser ver says, amounts to nothing and who talks against time and has nev er gotten a measure through the Senate. Who was it that got an increased appropriation in every item of tho River and Harbor appropriation bill for .North.

A resident of Pittsburg who spent a rart of last summer in England, tells in an exchange an incident which sad ly disturbed the religious peace of a parish in Penzance. A maiden lady of that town owned a parrot which some bow acquired the disagreeable habit of observing at frequent intervals: "I wish the. old lady would die." This annoyed tfae birds owner, who spoke to her enrate about it. I think we can rectify the matter," replied the good man. MI also have a parrot, and be is a righteous bird, having been brought up in the way he should go. I will lend yeu my parrot and I trust bis influence will reform that depraved bird of yours. The curate parrot was plaoed in the same room with the wicked one, and as soon aa the two had become accus tomed to each other tne Dad bird re marked,4! wish the old lady would, die. Whereupon the clergyman's bird rolled up his eyes and in solemn ac-1 cents added, "We beseech thee to bear ', us, good Lord.
