i AMxcOOK - - . Editob iUokoobd, Cabahbds Cotjstt, N. CI THURSDAY, FEB. 28, 1895. . THE cuxix of ihfaht. The action of the HooBe in passing a resolution that when it adjourned it should do so ont of respect to !5eB"(alHf hit white wife) has created a sensation in every part of the country. We can understand how it should excite surprise every where except in North Carolina, bat it ought not to have occasioned any surprise or consternation here. In fact, it ought to have been expected. It was only logical sequence 'o the other acts of this Legislature. It began by kicking ont a one-legged, ex Confederate soldier to make place for a hearty negro man. It turned down another maimed soldier, and made him accept a subordinate place under the negro, which he would not haye done but for his extreme pover ty. It elected a negro politician from Cumberland, to whom the Lieut. Governor, every Senator and employe has to go to get an order for his per diem cr wage?. The House has passed an election law framed with the purpose of enabling negro voters to repeat without fear of detection It has gone from step to step along this line of Africanizing the State until the negroes, who Bhare the feelings of the Richmond county darkey, are all fully satisfied, "I'se seed down to Holly," said he, "a sight Is'e long been a-wantin' to see, and that is white men a-workin' un . der a nigger." The resolution of adjournment in honor of tbe negro . who mairied a white wife, and thus proved himself an enemy to both races and the peace of both, is worse a thousand times than either of the otters. It is the climax of it all, and must not only bring the blush of shame to every white man in the State, but also disgust every negro iuce Dride or self re 'V a We haye reached the c'imax of in famy.

' Demagogues in New York and Brooklyn have frequently pandered to the ''foreign vote' as it is called by occasionally flying the standards of other nations from public build ings. " There is hut one flag which should ever be seen on such heights, and it is the star and stripes. It is the flag of our country and every citizen of the United States, North or 1 South, native or foieign born, owes- allegiance to that flag and to that flag alone. This is the feeling of patriotic sons of other lands who haye made their homes Jpere- -They consider the UmolTtninSkz. It is Cuihmendable in them to presem the traditions of their native land, to loye its history and to sympathize with it in its struggles with other - foreign powers, but they are now i citizens of this government, and the - flag they should most love to see in ( every place that represents the dig I nity and power of this government ' - the flag which should evoke the best -feelines of every heart in this land ' - 1 is the flag of the Union. "Long may it wave." Atlanta .... Journal. IYNDOWH 1TSHA1D. The Caucasian is making a dts - ' perale effort to break the force of the Fred Douglas incident by denying - that the Legislature had refused to adjourn in honor f the birthdays of Lee and Washington. The News . and Observer, however, gets down its file of the Caucasian itself and shows that the House had voted to - adjourn cn Lee's birthday, but the Senate refused to concur and there upon the House tabled its own reso- In tion and both bodies remained id r-seion.

It thinks that the action was an unfortunate blunder." No dee nial on the main point ; no defense, Even the Caucasian's strong stomach revolts at that dose. Charlotte Ob server. LITTLK RSAPH. Senator Franck, of OnBlow, is dy ing of pneumonia, at his boarding place in Raleigh. The Legislature is to adjourn March 8th. The Charlotte Observer prints the names of the representatives who voted to adjourn out of respect to the memory of Mulatto Douglass. Among them is tbe name of Mr. Hileman. Legislation in the present Con greB8 is virtually oyer. There will be nothing of importance done here after, except to pass appropriation bills and prepare for the post mor tern on what, with decent leadership, might haye been a decent Congress. o Senator Hale, ot Maine, sdmits a doubt that any amount of debate on almost any subj'ect would change a yote, though discussion should con tinue in the Senate for a month ; and the admission does credit to the Senator's discernment There was a time when oratory swayed the Sen ate. Now, courtesy and self-interest are its favorite spell-binders. It begins to look as if Dr. .Park-, hurst were about to violate that sec tion of the Federal Constitution which forbids discrimination against the colored race. It is understood that he has begun a relentless war fare upon the game of craps. Now, as everybody in America knows, craps, or "bones," is peculiarly the colored brother's game. Craps be long to the negro j'ust as certainly and naturally as fan tan belongs to the Chinamen, and an. attack upon craps canbs viewed in one light only. The New York World gives Gro ver and his keen-sighted financier, Mr. Carlisle, a black eye on the re cent bond issue, in Friday's issue. There is no use railing against, gossirtikjahere to stay. into the world witV society a1 be here until we either fall i barism or jrise to perfectio: gossip is the mother of scandal. Sug gestion is the handful of Bnow which grows as it is rolled along. Timid Innuendo soon becomes bold and putting on the 'full armor of ac cusation goes forth to slay nnsus pecting deputation. Dr. J B Alexander who was the Fop candidate for Senator from Mecklenburg writes a card to the Caucasian in which he very proper ly rebukes the legislature for re fusing the appeal of the ladies of the State in behalf of the Confed erate monument. ' 'It is hard," savs Dr. Alexander "to conceive of a peo ple so lost to a sense of patriotic duty." It is Dr. Alexander's own "people" who did it. 'Shamed of em, aint you, Doc? IT IS WELL TO KNOW That if children would stop grow ing so fast, the rest of us wouldn't feel so old. That February, though the short est, is the month in wbich the great est number of births occur.

That robbing graves is the only Chinese law for which the thief may justly be killed on the spot by any one finding him out That one of the saddest and moBt vexatious trials that comes to a girl when she marries is, that she has to discharge her mother and depend on a hired girl.
