before the convention of Hailroad

And while Jude Clark is of tho
opinion that a more rigid control of
railroads by the national govern

curbing the abuses which exist in
private management of railroads ;
yet there is no oue who is familiar

In Cleveland, Ohio, the home of
Mark Ilanna, there has recently
been a big strike among the street
car men, which resulted in some
damage to property of the ear com

street cars, with disastrous results.
The nse of dynamite eo enraged
the people that a mass meeting was
held by the business men and ten
thousand dollars were subscribed
to be used in apprehending the man
who threw the bomb. This same
meeting also passed resolutions in
favor o! the establishment of an
army post in Cleveland.
It is very likely that the chief
ground of those who so vehemently
advocate a large standing army in
this conntry is for the purpose of
placing sok'iers in the large cities to
suppress the labor element wherever

There is no place in our country

there be any place or nse for the
man who, like a demon, seeks to
crush out of existences his fellow-
man by depriving him of a just share
of the fruits of his industry.
During the latter part of Decern
ber, 1S9 just before the legislature
assembled, and when there was much
speculation as to the sort of ditfran
chining legislation the legislature
would enact, the editor of the News
and Otserver went to Washington to
interview representatives of those
Southern States wLich have a limi
ted suffrage, upon the different plans
of disfranchisement operative in
these states-, and these interviews he
had published in his paper for the
information and guidance of the in
coming. Legislators. Among the in
ter views was one from Senator Mc
Laurin, of Sjuth Carolina, in which
Senator McLaurin, speaking of the
South Carolina amendment and the
primary plan of election in that state
said:
Oar elections are nearly all settled
in the primary, and if a man desires
to exercise any influence in govern
mental affairs he mast go into this
election and take his chances. These
primary elections are protected by
an Act of the Qeneral Assembly,
, providing that they shall be conduc
ted in accordance with the Constitu
tion and rales of the Democratic par
ty, and that illegal voting in them
shall be punished.
It is needless to say that a majori
ty of the voters of North Carolina,
would not for a moment, tolerate
such a plan aa thii ; and if the Dem
ocratic patty were to come before
them with the plain and open propo
sition that that organization be le
galized to conduct all elections "ac
cording to ita constitution and rales,"
that such a proposition would meet
with signal failure
Uutitis with this idea in view,
suggested no doubt by the South
Carolina plan, that the News and
Observer in its issue of Saturday,
under the caption "Legalized Pn
mariea kill Boss Bale" editorially,
advocates this plan. It says in part
When the amendment eliminates
the ignorant negro vote, a nomina
tion by the Democratio party will be
equivalent to an election. In order
to make that condition permanent it
is essential not only that every voter
have an equal voice in the selection
. of candidates, bat to make it impos
sible for any party machinery to de
ny him that equality of direction to
which be is directed. The expe
nence of the Democrats in those
Southern States where the negro vote
has been eliminated is that the dan
ger of division and formidable inde
pendent movements can only be aver
ted by a primary Having all the safe
guards of a legal election. North
Carolina ought to profit by the expe
rience of its sister States and provide
a legalized primary at the next ses
sion of the legislature.
Which simply means that as iu
South Carolina the Democratic party
should be clothed by law with the
power to throw around all of the vo
ters of the State "all the safeguards
of a legal election" and to be in po
sition to avert "the danger of divis
ion -and formidable independent
movements."
Here is simply another evidence of
the injurious effect of the last cam
paigu as shown in the loss of respect
for the boasted love of toleration
' and spirit of fair play which has
characterized the masses of North
Carolina for such a inggestion
would never have appeared in
the eclomns of any paper North in
Carolina prior to the last election,
not even in the News and Observer,
and it comes now only npon the pre
sumption that manhood is no longer
a characteristic of the voters of the
State.

From the golden mile stone in the
Roman Forum radiated those mag
nificent roads whieh to this day tell
how Rome built for the ages. Along
them poured tb tide of the Repub
lic's and the Empire's commerce;
over them tramped her legions, and
as the (icd Terminus successively re
moved further and further the limits
of her domains, these magnificent
viaducts carried to the remotest ver
ges the art, the literature, the laws,
the civilization that was Roman. In
deed biT roads made possible the

it does to day.
Suppose for a moment that those

companies of millionaries, that not

It is a universal maxim tnat pn
vate property can not be taken for
private uses, but only for the public
use. Yet no railroad can be built
without the appropriation of private
property.
It results that the real question
and we are race to race witn it is
whether it is practicable to contro
theso great forces, these immense ag
gregatiens of c ipital, by Commissions
and ov ttatutes, or shall it be neces
sarv to take the absolute ownership
of them over in tho government.
In all tho countries of the world
save Great Britian and the United
S'ates. the answer has been that
government ownership is indispen
sable to a safe and just control
Accordingly in almost all other coun
tries, including even the Australian
and other British colonies, the rail
road?, or at least the controlling
lines are owned by theii respective
governments. In the United States
and the contrated territory embraced
in the British Isles, the experiment
fo government control, without gov
ernment ownership, is on trial.
Oae of tho greatest evils of the
present system is the proneness of
these corporations to intervene in
politics. Realizing that a govern

when the government is kept un
touched by the power of great mon

which arouses public indignation
more than the almost unconcealed

From the Conoord Daily Standard
of July'JCth, we clip the following the nomination and election of legisla
editorial paragraph:
When the county has a fair sprink
ling of the suspicious white vote that
will risk any injury to the country
rather than abandon prf jadices so
inimical to patriotism it is time that
we eliminate as much of the danger
ous vote as possible from whatever
point we can.
What does toe Standard mean
when it speaks of the ''Sprinkling of
the Suspicious White Vote," and fur
ther on argues that "it is time to
eliminate as much of the dangerous
vote as possible from whatever point
we can t"
Does the Standard make bold the
assertion that it is the purpose of the
machine to "eliminate'' a large por
tion of the "dangerous white vote of
the State by the adoption of the Con
stitutional amendment T
Is it the purpose of the amendment
to deprive a large element of the
white population of the right to vote!
It would seem from the bold utter
ance of the Standard that it really
desires the disfranchisement of that
portion of the white vote that will
not follow or submit to the dicta
tion and domination of the machine.
The machine should sumarily
squelch the Standard, otherwise that
paper might give away its secret
plans and purposes.
One of the most suggestive car
toons we have seen for sometime
appeared recently in the Washing
ton Post. It represented McKinley
as a Farmer on his way to mill
(second term) with a sack of grain
labelled "McKinley Popularity" on
hisback, and in the sack were two
holes through which the grain was
rapidly spilling. One of the leaks
was " Cuban Government"; the other
"The Phillipine War" and so great
was the leak that McKinley's popu
larity sack was rapidly becoming
empty.
Every day of the horrors -of the
Phillipine War and of America's
stultification in still maintainiug
military government in Cuba, de
creases McKinleys chances of re
election.
It is needless to call the atten
tion of our readers, to the commu
nication of Capt. R. B. Davis, in
another column. Never before. Der-
haps, have there been collated so
many and such highauthorities in
support of a single proposition as
of the one which he advocates, and
tors, congressmen, Governors and
United States Senators. Their con
tributions to Fresidental campaign
funds is a National scandal. Worse'
than all is their influence in the
appointments of the life judiciary of
the Federal Governmeat and recent
evidence given before the Industrial
Commission shows that they are not
above tampering with tne nomina
tion and election of State judges
chosen by tne people.

The crucial question for solution
Is whether the interference of great
corporations in politics and their
secret discrimination in rates, where'
by trusts are created and sustained
can be suppressed without resort to
government ownership. These evils
must be eliminated. The hope of
America lies in the very fact that
our people will not submit to such
abuses much longer.

In all the countries of the world I
believe except this and Canada, the
telegraph and the telephone are part
of the post office system, legally as
well as logically, for they are simply
methods of communicating intelli
gence. 1 nave always believed as a
lawyer that under the provisions of
the Federal Constitution which re
xuires Congress to establish postoffi
ces and postroads, it is its duty to
transmit intelligence by wire as well
as by rail, by electricity as well as
by steam or pneumatic tubes, and as
this power vested in Congress is held
by the United States Supreme Court
to be an exclusive power, that the
oneration f telegraph and telephones
for hire by others than the govern
ment is as illegal as tneir running
the postoffice would be. Great Brit

a part of the postoffice department.

In your last lssiu- I quoted. In
support of the above proposition,
the opinions of some of the sages
of our revolutionary era, and most
largely those of Thomas Jefferson
for the reason, that he has had the
singular good fortune to be recog
nized as an authority by all parties
Canonized, even before he wag dead,
his name, since then, has stood al
ways first in the popular hagiology.
And so true Is this, that the found
ers of every political party since bis
time, has taken some distinctive
doctrine of his. as the corner-stone
of its political creed.
Thus flenry Clay, treading in
the footsteps of this apostle of hu
man liberty, took up the cause of
African Colonization where Jeffer
son had left it, and pressed it with
a zeal which was the more honor
able in him since he consented, for
its sake, to sacrifice the Presidency
of the United States. Addressing
the Colonization Society of Ken
tucky in 182'J the Great Commoner
had this to say
If we were to invoke the greatest
blessing, which Heaven could bestow
upon this nation, it would be the sepa
ration of the two races of its popula
tion, and tbeir comfortable establish-.
ment, in distinct and distant countries,
if this is not done, who can contem
plate the future without the most aw
ful apprehensions ? For if tbia pro
miscuous residence, of Whites and
Blacks, is to continue forever, who,
without shuddering with horror, can
imagine the wars, and carnage, and
crimes, that must be us probable consequences?
And Abraham Lincoln following,
as he professed always to do, the
leadership of Clay upon this ques
tion, in his first annual message of
Dec. 6 1801, submitted the follow
ing
I recommend that Congress take
steps to colonise all slaves, that shall
be confiscated for having been used for
insurrectionary purposes, in some
place and c iraate congenial t tltm.
It might be well to consider too,
whether all free-born negroes could
not be included in such colonization,
so far as they may desire. To carry
out the plan of colonization, may id
volvethe acquisition of new territory,
and also tne appropriation of money
beyond that to be expended in territo
rial acquisition. And if it should be
said, that the only legitimate object of
acquiring territory is to provide homes
for white men, this measure effects
that object, since the emigration of
black men will leave additional room
for white men remaining here, or com
ing here.
Andain his second annual mess
age, of Dec. 1 lobz, when his Eman
cipatlon Proclamation was suspen
ded, and just one month before it
was to go into effect, and while it
was still open, to the acceptance of
the people of the South, he said

the colonization of the negro race.

The masses of our fellow citizens

no hostility to railroads as such, but
only to their abuses. They recog
nize the immense value of railroads.

next number, he promises to have
something to say of the attitude of
the Democratic party of North Car
olina, in respect to this question.
Democrats Put la a Negro Policeman.
In the city of Hickory, a town
with only a few negeioes in it, not
over a fourth of the voters, a town
that the Democrats boasted of carry
ing last spring, yet since then, has
had a negro policeman in it. Is this
truef If so what do yon think of
it' white manf
.seen city, county and
State holdings displaced . that great
manipulators may become the own
ers of these properties. They have
seen the more than $500,000,000 of
National aid given in lands and
bonds, disappear "ljke the baseless
fabric of a vision'' and leave scarce
a wreck behind. These thine they
have endured and would even for
give if the present management of
tnese systems were fair and just.
The specific remedy for troubles of

to embrace a measure, which more
than all others, he had at heart?
Whether they will have the cour
age to do this, the sequelwill show.
The modern Republicans, in like
manner, profess to hold his mem
ory in religious veneration. But if
they have now lost faith in his
guidance, are they not willing to
trust to that of Lincoln, and of
Grant? This question I address, in
all seriousness, to the acknowledged
leaders of that party in this State,
whom I know to be men of reflec
tion, and forethought.: And tley,
with equal seriousness, might ad
dress it to their negro following as
fast as education shall enable them
to conquer, . that Israelitish fond
.ness for the Egyptian flesh-pots
which conceals from them, their
present and future condition.
