following from Mr. Hayes' address to

The most astounding' charge of the

If the Democrats win they will "dis

th:!s can not be done without a dhange

be done by a two-thirds vote of the
people. The legislature can not do it.
One of the fusion candidates in
Chatham is a lawyer, asnd when pressed
by me at Cumnock admitted this was
so, but tried to invent some other ex
ruse. Men of Chatham, have not the
Democrats had control for the last

wish to, could we not have done so

THEY HAVE BROKEN ALL OF
THESE SOLEMN PLEDGES
Now, Air. President, this is the kind
of pledges made to the voters of North
Carolina in the last campaign by the
politicians who are the authors of this
disfranchising amendment
No cconer hal the Democratic (party
gotten In power by these pledges than
certain party leaders began to prepare
t.ie t'i"is3r&rc-h:ajcig suffrage scheme
that we bave now nader consideration.
I do not tfcarge tharfc all mrcn'berB of
the legislature when they made those
pledges on the stump knew at the timo
that they would keep them, for I be
lleve tthat most of them when they
made pledges intended to stand to
them. Why? Because the record of
the Democratic party in wortn Carolina
has been for manhood suffrage, and
they bo&sted of it on every tump. But
when the legislature met a tew leaders
began to org this amendment. A
large number cf the Democratic mem
bers of the legislature protested against
It, first, on the ground that they bad
pledged their constituent sot to vote
for anything of the kind, and next, on
the ground Chat their constituents were
opposed to It, ad if it -was submitted
It would be voted down. The leaders
continued to work and lay on the par
ty lash.
At this juncture efforts were made to
try to got the leaders, fcstead of
submitting this proposed amendment.
to submit another amrndmeat. ens to
prohibit the colored man from holding
office, but not prohibiting him cr any
body else from voting. It was claimed
that they had not pledged the people
not to prohibit anybody from holding
offlce. It was further claimed tuatsnat
would be constitutional because the
fifteenth amendment did not use the
words "to hold office," but used the
word "to vote."
It waa also pointed out to them that
no race prejudice ever was raisea
when the negro simply voted, because
they compose only about one-third of
the voters of the State, but that It was
only when the negro held or aspired to
office that race prejudice and antagon
ism was or could be aroused.
It was further poiod out to them
that the change made In the county
government, putting the negro counties
under a different county government
system, In accordance with the recent
decision of the supreme courtwas suf
ficient to settle w-hatever negro ques
tion there was; and if that did not set
tle U, then an amendment to prohibit
the negro from holding office would
settle it beyond question.
They contended that it "would be
going too far" to prohibit the negro
from holding ofiicc. Besides they con
tended that such an amendment would
be unconstitutional, while at the same
time they contended that section 5,
which discriminated aga!nst the negro's
right to vote, .was constitutional.
Mr. President, these ringleaders net
only refused to submit an amendment
to prohibit the negro from holding of
fice, but on the other hand, they ex
plicitly provided In their amendment
that the negro should be eligible to
hold office. It Is clear from thia that
these politicians are carefully nursing
and preserving the race Issue for use
In future campaigns.
I am told that there were many
stormy meetings in the secret caucuses
of that legislature, but the party lasa
was laid on from morning till night.
At last, by a bare majority, as I under
stand, this dangerous and undemocrat
ic measure was driven through.
But, Mr. President, while a sufficient
number of members of the legislature
were whipped in by the party lash to
break their pledges and pass this pro
posed amendment, yet I am proud to
be able to say that the masses of the
Democratic voters have not been whip
ped into line with the party lash and
will not be.
THE PEOPLE "WILL NOT TOLER
ATE SUCH TREACHERY.
There la not a more independent set
of men on God's green earth than the
voters of North Carolina. They have
been doing their own thinking since
the last election, and the result Is that
they have dee.'ideJ thai section 5 Is
dangj-ioua ar.d the are going to vote
against it The Democratic leaders
have discovered it and here they rush
with a new device, to be known at sec
tica 6, that they think will hoodwink
these voters or satisfy them to run the
risk of section 5. But the trick will.
not work
'Mr. President, the masses of the
Democratic party in North Carolina
do not endorse the treachery of their
Eca.lled leaders. They contend, and
correctly, that the Democratic party in
the past has always stood up for man
hood suffrage and that at least they
ought to be honest with the people on
this question. They point to the late
Senator Vance as the leader of the pari
ty for this Democratic doctrines of
manhood suffrage, for which he, always
stood. As long as SexatC Trance liv
ed no such (li3trnchising scheme as
this QOTid ever be gotten tnrough, a
&Ciocratic caucus or a Democratic
legislature.
ZEB VANCE DEMOCRATS AND
MANHOOD SUFFRAGE.
To illustrate how the rank and file
of the Democratic party In North Car
olina looked upon Senator Vance as
their leader, and who followed him
loyally while he was alive and who re
vere his memory now, I will read an
Interview with an old-time Zeb Vance
Democrat, given in the last few days,
Mr. W. H. Hargrave. ex-Democratic
representative from Haywood county,
in the general assembly of North Caro
lina. "He says:
I am an old-time Democrat, and
there are many in my section who can
boast of the same distinction. With
some exceptions we are opposed to this
attempt to deprive white men of their
prerogative.
I fought a similar measure when
was in the legislature eleven years ago.
It was introduced at a midnight caucus
and for that reason the proceedings
were never printed, as I can remember
It was the warmest kind of a deoato
but the measure was defeated oy a
small majority. Such eminent Demo
crats as Judge Hoke, Lieutenant-Gov
ernor Daughton, and Mr. George Jones
fiercely opposed the bill as undemo
cratlc. Zeb Vance was not present at
this caucus, but was known to be in
sympathy with the opposition
No, we old-time Democrats do not
intend to organize anti-amendment
clubs. We are going to make a "still"
fight agaunst the prcpcisedi amendment
and the election law. Let me tell you.
the amendsmcnts "will get a trig sur-
pr.sd when the returns from "Haywood
are turned In
Now, It may be asked, How Is It pos
sible for these supporters of the am
endment to tispa to carry the State in
the coming election fn tho face of the
past record of the Democratic party for
manhood suffrage, in the face of these
false promises and broken pledges in
the last campaign, and in the face of
the fact that ring politicians who were
the enemies of Senator Vance have
captured the machinery of the party
Indeed, the man who is now Democrat
ic State chairman was by Senator
Vance defeated for confirmation in
this Senate for a revenue office. j
My answer is, they do not hope to
carry the State; they do not hope to
get a majority of the votes. They
know that an overwhelming majority
of the voters of the State are opposed
to-the amendment they have submitted
and, besides, are determined to vote to
repudiate them for their broken
pledges and treachery. "
They knew it when they submitted
the amendment. Knowing this, Mr.
President, they proceeded to take pre
cautions before their legislature ad
journed to provide a machinery by
which they hoped to put it through.
What was that? They gave long and
careful attention, these leaders who
forced this amendment upon the rank
and file, toward framing one of tihe
mcst indefensible electica laws that
any State has ever had upon its stat
ute 'book. , -
THE ELECTION LAW.
They have wot only given, it unlhnit
ed discretion and power to minor elec
tion officers, but they have provided
that there shall be no appeal to the
court from any wrong, however great
Before, we have had appeals In North
Carolina to some nigher body than a
little election officer when the law and
the constitution were violated. It Is
mt so with tihe present law. The fair
and just election law that we bad upon
the statute book w2ea thl legislature
met provided that every political party
Ln North Carolina should be represent'
ed on every election board in the St e.
That fair and honest election law
provided further that the partly
should select their own officials to rep-,
resent them and not have some other
party select for them. Is there any
such provision In the present election'
law? If It had such a provision tn It,
the Democratic leaders of the State
would never make a fight for this pro
posed constitutional amendment, for
they would know it wonW not be worth
while. They would know before they
began that it would be de'eated by
from fifty to seventy-five thousand
votes. . - -
Instead cf a fair and just provision
like the one I have referred to. siring
every party a representative of its own
selection on all election boards and
giving power to appeal to th courts
when necessary to eecure justice, they
have adopted the machine methods of
the Kentucky raw, and with cunning
ingenuity have devised new schemed
for manipulating and miscounting
votes.
I bave said this much, Mr. President,
to give to those interested a fair idea
of the political situation now existing
in the State. Under these conditions,
we are preparing to vote on the pro
posed amendment In spite of vhe
election law referred to, if the people
of my State are of the opinion that sec
tion 5 is unconstitutional, then the
majority against it will be so great that
I do not think the election law will
save them to overcome It Besides,
those who do not indorse bad faith and
treachery will vote to repudiate the
leaders who have violated their folemn
pledges to the people.
The Democratic leaders in mf State
realize thait the more this proposition
is discussed the more the voters will
make up their minds that It is uncon
stitutional, and already that part of the
press and the politicians who are sup
porting it are declaring that the
amendment should not be further dis
cussed, but, on the ether hand, they are
doing everything in their power to
banish reason and to arouse prejudice
and create a state of excitement.
A few days ago a prominent citizen
who is opposed to this amendment gave
out an interview in which he stated
that he was satisfied that a majority
of the white voters of the State were
against the amendment and would vote
against it If it could be calmly dis
cussed upon the stump and the speech
es pro and con could be put before ev
ery voter in the State.
To that end, and to make it impossi
ble for politicians who want to appeal
to race prejudice and prevent discus
sion from doing so, he suggested that
the negro should not register or vote
in the coming election, 'but leave the
proposed amendment to be discussed
and settled by the votes of the white
men alone.
Would you not think that every Dem.
ocratic paper and politician who has
appealed and yelled for "white supre
macy" and loudly objected to negroes
voting at all would have gladly Indors
ed that suggestion to have one election
in which the colored people would take
no part, but stand aside and let the
w-Mte people settle it? It will surprise
those who think so to be told that at
once the newspapers supporting the
amendment began to denounce the sug
gestion and redoubled their efforts to
stop discussion and to appeal to race
prejudice.
One of tie leading papers in the
State supporting ithe amendment, pub
lished at Raleigh, as a countermove to
this proposition for the negro not to
take any part ln the campaign, proceed
ed to interview a negro and got an
opinion from Ihim for publication to
the effect that he did not approve- of
thi3 plan. -fr -
The editor, after EjrHFthSan,
said:
As to thTsuccess of this plan, Jiow
rerT'there is considerable room for
doubt
lAnd then proceeded to publish the
following Interview from a negro pol
itician: "Do they expect us to stand idly by
while our liberties are in danger?"
said a negro leader and politic an yes
terday. "If they do, they'll be badly
fooled. 'We'll do nothing of ihe sort. If
we did, we'd deserve to bn disfranchis
ed. Just now the negro is dazed. He
doesn't know where to t:irn or whit to
do; but, mark my words, you'll hear
from him later on In the campaign."
The paper proceeds to comment on
that negro politician's interview as
follows:
Whether their leaders wish it or not.
the negro is going to be very much: in
the coming campaign.
The above is from the Raleigh News
and Observer of Wednesday, January
31, 1900.
Mr. President, 1 submit to the Senate
and to a candid public that the editor
of a newspaper, claiming to be in fa
vor of removing the negro from poli
tics, yet who goes out to hunt up negro
politicians and secures and publishes
interviews from them to the effect that
they are not in favor of such a plan to
leave the white people alone to settle
this suffrage question, is not a fit man
to advise the people how to vote on
such a question or on any other ques
tion. I submit that it lhas the earmarks of
desiring the negro question to stay in
the campaigns in order to hide the real
issues and to enable politicians ito ap
peal to race prejudice instead cf to ar
gument This is the first step to try to
bring the negro Into the campaign, and
this from a source that is supporting
this amendment This same, editor, in
the last campaign in my State advised
negroes to become candidates for var
ious offices in order that he might have
a text from which to appeal to, race
prejudice. I will leave every Senator
to form his own opinion of such meth
ods and the cause that needs to be sup
ported by such methods.
DISCUSSION WILL KILL THIS
DANGEROUS AND PERFIDEOUS
SCHEME.
air. President, this proposed amend
ment will be discussed in North Caro
lina on every stump, and ' before the
discussion is over the people will see
the flimsiness and the absurdity of the
proposition of Judge Brown to instruct
the court how to decide on the consti
tutionality of section 5 as clearly as
they . have already seen that section 5
was unconstitutionaL
M President, discussion will kill
this amendment wherever it Is discuss
ed, here or elsewhere. Appeals to race
prejudice, mob violence, ana oauot-oox
stuffing are Its only nope, end that the
people of North Carolina will not again
tolerate.
Mr. President, in conclusion I trust I
can truthfully say tbat I have proven
by tihe weight of authority that section
5 of the proposed amendment is clearly
unconstitutional; that I have proven
by the overwhelming weight of author
ity and by all rules of construction ever
observed by tee court that eectlon
would fall and that the remainder of
the amendment would stand, and that
the result would be that as many white
voters would thereby be disfranchised
as negroes; that I have proven that the
proposed attempt to amend the amend.
ment at another session of tne leglsla
ture by the adoption of a provision In
structing the court now to construe the
amendment would, be ignored by. the
court as not only a "dead letter," hut
as a piece of Impertinence, and hence
would be of no effect except to call the
attention of the court to (the fact that
the legislature itself in passing the
amendment doubted its coast!tcUoas
lty.
Mr. President, in addition to tls
above I bave proven beyond question
the fact that the legislator -that sub
mitted this proposed amendment got
elected by making the most solemn
pledges chat they would not attempt to
disfranchise anyone, white or black, if
they were-trusted by the people and
put Into power. Now, Mr. President, It
would be a base slander upon the vo
ters of North Carolina to say that they
would condone and Indorse such
treachery, perfudy, and dishonor .to say
nothing of supporting at the polls such
an unconstitutional and dangerous
scheme." They will not do it
But, on the other hand, the majority
against this bae and fraudulent
scheme and against these politicians of
perfidy and dishonor will be so large
tbat they will not De able 10 steal or
suppress it, even under the most infa
mous and fliievlng election law that
ever disgraced the statute books cf any
State. The voters of North Carolina,
even though many o" Item are illiter
ate,, are not dishonest, neither are they
cowards.

no woman in the United States has a
stranger occupation than that of Mrs.

In some Western States wild horses

ruthlessly killed for their hides. Mrs.

Miss Daisy Stevenson Is one of the

the work of meat cutting and of dis
posing of the odds and ends as well as
the choice cuts is not haraer than gen
eral houseworkr Above all, she re
joices in a field all untried by other
women and attempts to climb In and
fill the niche. Success came. She
thinks there is room for other women
In this occupation, and recommends
them to give her idea consideration,
for she supports herself and her moth
er comfortably by it, and that is the
main test
Miss E. M. Davlsson went Into prac

friends," with public office ln view
and she Is now attorney of Brown

get the office until she had a legal fight
with a man who wanted it . -'
More than one woman -during the
year took up the occupation known at
summer resorjss "hotel introducing."
Managers-ot such hotels find It profit
ajdetjjemploy women to Introduce
guests ta one another. A clever woman
of tact can earn $15 to $25 a week at
this work, with free board. She mtist
le educated, tasteful and pleasant,
and must have the rare faculty of be
ing able to ingratiate herself Into the
good graces of women guests and In
troduce them to others, so as to make
them feel at home and provide com
pany for those who otherwise might
be lonely dming their stay. This sort
of thing is a good advertisement for a
hotel, and brings business to it. While
the opening does not offer steady em
ployment, it pays well while it lasts.

TOMBS BUILT TO LAST."
nergy of the Egyptian
Was Da)ToC
to Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of a career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for whlen
his present exlstencs was but a piep
aration. His cemeteries were not hud-
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds, or a slab or stone. The whol
land was his graveyard; Its whole art
was of the mortuary. "Are there no
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to die?" asked
the Israelites .in derision, and we maj
believe that Moses winced at the sar
casm. Egypt is the land of graves, and
the whole energy of the people that
could be spared from keeping life to
gether was devoted to death. The
mightiest tombs in the world the
pyramids were raised upon the death!
of multitudes of toiling slaves. The
hills were honeycombed passages and
galleries, chambers, pits, all painfull
excavated in honor of the illustrious
dead, and sculptured and painted with
elaborate skill to make them fit habi
tations for his ghost Wherever he
looked the Egyptian beheld prepara
tions for the great turning point ol
existence. The mason was squaring
blocks for the tomb chamber; the pot
ter molded Images of the gods or bowli
or jars, to be placed in the grave foi
the protection or refreshment of 'the
ka, exhausted with the ordeals of the
under world; the sculptor and patntei
were at work upon the walls of the
funeral chamber, Illustrating the
scenes through which the ghost waf
to pass, or depicting the industrioui
life of the departed. The very temples
which cluster along the levels beside
the Nile were in the hills behind. Tni
sacred lake, now the weedy, pictur
esque hunt of waterfowl, was then the
scene of solemn ferryings of the dead
The temple walls were covered wits
the terrors of the Judgment to come
The houses of the living, indeed, were
built of perishing mud, bnt the homee
of the dead made to the gods who ruled
their fate were made to last forever
On these all the strength, the science
and the artistic skill of the ancient
Egyptians were cheerfully lavished.

and his agents for their votes.
Second That at least Dine others
were offered money for their votes
and that the total amount ct offers

Mr. Clark, but ried to excuse It
Either by direct testimony or other
wise they claim that the acceptance of
bribes is fixed upon 15 others.
The testimony of both Mr. Clark and
Mr. E. C. Day establish conclusively
t2ie payment by Mr. ClaTk to Mr. Day
a few days after the election of $5,000.

friend of Mr. Clark while he was ln

of my friendship for Mr. Day and for
the work performed by him in trying
to prganize the Legislature to be elec
ted Speaker, and in order to control
our forces, in - which, however, we
failed. I recognized that he was wor
thy of this consideration.
"Mr. Day admits that no part of
this $5,000 went to the other members
of the law firm of which he is a part
ner. i ne contention on the part - or
Mr. Day and Mr. Clark that-tj'13 as
a gift will deceive no oz. It was re
ceived Jn direct violation of bis oath
of offite." , ---
