In ?ieaking of the Australian billot system and fair elections in North Carolina, the Clreenfeboro Telegram Bays: "The Democrats being in a large majority have nothing to hwe by having fair election, and if they iaj such a measure they I11 win the esteem and approval of all who !elieve In purity and honeaty in ltolilics." So far ui good. We are glad to see that one by one our Democratic contemporaries are being converted. Hut before we give them the right hand of fellowship wo want to know if they are going to stay con verted. We would like to ask the Tele gram if it would still be In favor of honest elections In this State were the result in doubt. It says: "The Democrats being in a large majority have nothing to lose by having fair elections." We fear the Telegram has left a sliding plank in its platform of conversion, ho If the rc3ult were close a little cheating in elections would be ad. missable and still stand ou the plat form. We would like to hear the Telegram, and other Democratic reform papers in the State ring clear on this toint. The election law passed by the Fusion Legisla ture was a fair one, it gave equa rights to both parties, but the Dem ocrats by the abuse of their rights got into power in the State and en acted an election law that would perpetuate them in power in the State, and to clinch the matter passed a law to protect their elec tion thieves in North Carolina Now wo will say to our converted contemporaries that if you want to go the whole cloth, advocate the enactment of a fair election law, the repeal of the law to protect election thieves and lets have honest elections in this State. And when this comes to pass, if we are beaten we will take our medicine without a word will you? The News and Observer says that the Legislature kept within the State's incoim in its appropriations, and will have over $8,000 left in the treasury. Representative Murphy, of Buncombe, said on the floor of the House Monday, when a bill wa3 up to increase the salary of some clerk, that they had already appro priated more money than they had in the treasury. These conflicting statements should be reconciled in some way. Mr. Murpby was a member of the Finance Committee, a member of the Appropriation Committee and also a member of the Committee on Salaries and Fees. Mr. Murphy was in a position to know. Where did the News and Observer get its information? The Legislature of 1905 came to a close Monday. "Of all glad phrases neatly turned, The gladdest is this, They have adjourned." And the people all over this State can now breathe a sigh of re lief, not that their burdens have been removed (for they have been in creased) but for the thought that the voters will never permit another such body to assemble in Raleigh to make the laws of this State. At the next election the voters will rise up in righteous indignation and throw off this yoke of Democracy that has voted away their rights and taxed them to death for the support of the Democratic party. The inauguration of President Roosevelt last Saturday was wit nessed by the largest assemblage that has ever attended the inaugu ration of a President. A- well known Washingtonian, in speaking of the class of people that went to see Mr. Roosevelt inaugurated, says: "It was the finest looking,' the best dressed, the most prosperous, the most intelligent assemblage of American citizens who were ever congregated in this town, and I don't think the equal of it could be seen in the capital of any other nation on the globe." j For several mouths past charges j and counter chTtn have been in .da against the State I-abor Conmii eloru r.

We object to any man who voted for Parker being given a federal appointment under a Kepublican administration. The Catawba county oflicer who got drunk en route with his prisoner aud was fined for being drunk and down, should be given a dishonor able discharge. We will never have law and order in this State so long as the laws are violated by officers of the law. In the lower house of the Legis lature, Monday, before adjourn ment, many of the members joined in singing patriotic, songs, religious songs and then "rag-time" songs. Swans also sing before they die. We piesume that pressing busi ness engagements prevented Judge Parker from attending the Presi dents inauguration, for it was his intention last fall to be on hand. The Democratic party may not be dead, but it is disfigured beyond recognition, crippled beyond re covery and disgraced beyond re demption. Buzz Saw. How can the Ward bill be called a temperance measure when it does not restrict the sale of whiskey in this State? Since the Legislature has ad journed the city of Raleigh can now return to the simple life. The Wardites seem - to prefer "white lightning" in small towns. The recent Legislature gave "Jef fersonian Democracy" a black eye. TJ. S. SENATJC IN SPECIAL 8ESSION Load AppUu for Vica-Prealdent Fair banks President Sends a Message. Was&ington, March 6. The special session of the Senate was opened to-day by loud applause for Vice-President Fairbanks when he appeared in the chamber to preside. He at once rapped the Senate to order. In response to a resolution W a 119 mr mr. unison aua save, uorman were named as a committee to notify the President that the Senate was in session, a recess was taken at the expiration of which the committee announced that the President would at once send a message. This was received and considered in execu tive session, after which the Senate adjourned. Now that the Ward bill has passed, will its provisions be en forced by State officers? Union Republican.

The salary of the chief clerk in the Secretary of States cfiber was Increased $200. The feNinch divorce bill saw it fini-h in the Senate Saturday. The tutatltuto offered by K;r.

Representative Koonce, of Ons low county, has persistently tried to have a bill passed in the House, ( makine it a felony to carry a con cealed weaponf but before the House adiourned Monday Judeo Winborn aroge and addressinc Mr. Koonce, ho recalled how he believed that some person must have made a violent personal attack on the gen campaign, and that that was his reason for trying to make pistol toatinz a felony. With this he handed Mr. Koonce a revolver and told him to defend himself. The gentleman who had a fight with Mr. Koonce during the campaign had better steer clear. A momhor nP th TTniiflA Afnndnv introduced tne following resolution "That wheieas it has been found necessary, in view of the long and tedious discussion on the Ward bill that a messenger should be detailed for the purpose of taking trip3 be tween the capitol and the Raleigh dispensary; and 'Whereas, the distance covered by said messenger would aggregate many miles: "Therefore, it is resolved by the House of Representatives, the Sen ate concurring: "That C. G, Harris, of Company A Tenth Batallion of Heavy Ar tillery, the aforesaid messenger.be allowed mileage between the dis pensary ahd the capitol building. such mileage to be computed by the gentleman from Mecklenburg." Mr. Murphy, of Rowan, was per milted to have the following pro test to the Ward bill, spread upon the journal. whereas, at this session of the General Assembly of North Caroli- na, an act nas passed, Known as the Ward bill, and whereas the afore said act is in my opinion a politica makeshift and not a measure bene ficial to the people of North Caro lina being in its effect an abridg ment of the rights of the p90ple, a blow to local self-government and a restriction of the right of suffer - age and absolutely in opposition to the platform and principles of my party. And whereas such legisia tion is contrary to the pledges and provisions made by me to my peo ple and absolutely at variance with my interpretation of the Democratic platform. Now, therefore, in the exercise of my constitutional right, I hereby file my protest against such legislation upon the grounds Eet forth in the premises and upon the additional grounds that said legis lation in its effect deprives men of property without due recompense, and further it establishes three grades of suffrage in North Carc lina upon the question of prohibi tion, which I hereby, submit is not in accordance with the principles of a republic m form of government, and contrary to the constitution and rights of the people.

B. J. ARCUIiELL. Gold Rock, N. C. Sitaatka la Cumberland. Editor Caucasian: It is real amusing for a country man to stand offand watch the antics of our towr politicians. It beats the mischief to hear them moaning over th hardships of the poor old farmer in old Cumberland. Why, bless your dear life the very fellows who a few years ago fought every move made by the Farmers Alliance to better their condition, and some of them even tried to get their charter an nulled are the same hypocrits who are now calling meeting aud making great pretences that they love the dear farmers so much. But we farmers have them spotted and they can't fool us. There is a con tinuous warfa: e in the old town of Fayetteville as to who will be boss, and some of their names have ap peared so often in that little hide- Sk bound Observer that it has become a stench in the nostrils of all good citizens of the county. They cuss" over prohibition some are wet and some are dry (by force of circum s'ances), and the truth is, there are about fifty "blind tigers" in town, some among the lowest and some among the highest of its citizens, and yet they are not satisfied. Every mother son of them says it is the dear people they are working for, when, in fact, they don't care a con tinental for the people, but are seek ing through this nefirious scheme to fool the country people that they may get some oflice. They are not only growling over the whiskey, but keep up a continuous howl over the country affairs., and even the affairs of their municipality every body, but the fellow doing the talking, is a rascal and, be-gosh, we country folks think he is, too, and upon the whole they are all a set not able to run their own inter nal affairs, and yet they would at tempt to dictate to U3 our policies. We country people are just sitting off laughing to see what a set of ignoramuses they are. Why, they ought to come to us for advice. We manage our own business, and ac tually feed and clothe them, and yet they are not content can't even get aloDg after we furnish them with food and raiment, and still some little jackleg, who has assumed the title of captain or colonel, will bob up with tears in his eyes as large as horse-apples, and send out word to we farmers to meet at the court-house on a certain day and "less organize." But we farm ers don't meet; we have meat a home and no thanks to these poli tical ringsters, who have always been our worst enemies. We think ii would pay the city folks to jus sweep before their own door?; rid the town of the dirt and smoke and either be bry or wet, and then wc would consider a proposition from them.
