EDITORIAL BRIEFS,
The Durham Herald says there are
ntirely too many Ifs In the war of
Ij'-ni'x-ratlc succeas.
Ayrock might write a spring poem
on the sound of the pistol and the
Mini; of th mocking bird.
1h News and Observer ha not
y-t reproduced that article telling of
the K-x)d qualities of Old Nick Wll
Jiarna whiskey.
Senator Tillman, of South Caro
lina, is going abroad for his health.
(Jim-s.s he also will return with a
w Mea or a new pitchfork.
Si i. re the Slmrnona-Cralg-Aycock
combine haB been formed the stock
in the Fifth District combine has
fallen considerably below par.
If this governorship race gets
much warmer the Democratic Con
vention at Charlotte will be worth
even more than the price of adop
tion. JuHt to oreak the monotony Gover
nor Glenn might tell the people just
when, how and' where he found that
A. & N. C. report which was missing
for so long.
The Supreme Court has decided
that the citizens of Anson County
may have more than a quart at one
time, providing they know wbre and
how he got It.
You need not write the editor for
any further information in regard to
the "Funnygraph" poem which ap
pears elsewhere in this issue, as the
editor did not hear any of the music.
The poem was contributed.
The writer may not be as well
posted on points of law as some
others, but we can't understand how
the Governor could pardon a man be
fore' he had entered upon the serv
ing of his sentence.
Governor Glenn may resume his
practice of law after his term of
office expires, but it is hardly proba
ble that he will again be a special
attorney for the Southern Railway or
the Casper Whiskey Company.
Considering that Congress has just
made,the largest appropriation ever
given to the Weather Bureau, we
think the weather man might show

to be governor you do not need to be
a politician.
That may be so, yet a politician al
ways fills the place and he continues
to work politics even after he is
elected. Do you want an example?
In replying to an attack made
upon him by one of the Democratic
papers in this State, Mr. Craig says
that not even the Republicans ever
made such charges against him.
It may be that the Republicans did !
nut know as much about him as
some of his Democratic friends.
A Baltimore minister told his con

So More Filibuster Lag in the
House.
(Special to The Caucasian.)
Washington, D. C.. April 8. The
past week has been Quite an inter
esting one in both the Senate and
the House. For several days the
Democratic leaders In the House had
been using tactics to prevent the
passage of certain measures before
that body. Saturday the House of
Representatives passed a rule which
put an end to any further filibus
tering by the Democratic members.
In presenting the rule Congressman
Dalzell characterized the Democratic
filibuster of the previous days as
"asinine, idotic and a disgrace to
grown up men of full stature."
Some of the members had predicted
that Congress would be in session
until the 4th of July, but since the
new rule of Saturday, business will
be expedited and it is hardly prob
able that Congress will remain in
session lenger than the regular term.
With only one vote against it the
House Monday, under suspension of
the rules, passed the sterling employ
ers' liability bill. In brief, the bill
establishes the doctrine that railroad
companies engaged in interstate
commerce are liable for personal in
juries received by employers in the
service o such.carrlers. It abolishes
the comon law rule of liability which

"cs Against Adams
were Fake.

Rumor of Bribery to Start.
April
8peclal to The Caucasian.
1.0S.
A letter from North Carolina to
this writer says that Adams and hit
patronage machine fellows are boast
ing that he has been exonerated of
the charges ef alleged bribery when
a judgt in Indian Territory. They
claim that the letter of the Secretary
of the Interior to Congress, in re
sponse to a resolution of inquiry,
proves that the charges are false In
the interest of the party In North
Carolina, of which Adams happens
now to be head, we regret that this
is not true.
The facts are that a charge was
made and put into the Congressional
Record to the effect that it was al
leged that the Secretary of the In
terior had In his possession proof
that members of that Indian Court.
of which Adams was head, were
bribed, and that the Secretary, in
stead of having the judges who were
alleged to be guilty Indicted and con
victed, had su pressed the facts.
This was a charge made in Con
gress directly against the Secretary.
In reply the Secretary simply said
that, the charge against him that he
had sufficient proof to indict and
convict certain of the judges was
false.
It seems that Adams has seized
upon this statement and perverted it
so as to make the Secretary say that
the alleged charges against Adams
were false. The Secretary said noth
ing of the kind. What he did say
Nwas that he had received many ru
mors and anonymous statements
charging bribery, but that he did not
have sufficient proof.
But it may be added that ugly ru-
mor8 continue to come here
