It Mofcs as f (the Gubernatorial Tsar ' Ivad. really fallen irtto e.; pit from vvMdh" hie had neither ladder rtor rope to escape. He may -have found like ttoe . engineer mentioned in "Hamlet" who f onmd thalt hte Was "hoist with-Mia own ' peBar.'' We trust It do. The legisla ture as a wJWole and Jthe Tsar are ''hail feTtow, wen rtt." They are very much of "a sameness," and eettn to be "tarred" Well "with the wane dtlck.". The course -of Lu&k, of whom we ex pected vfry nuoh better conduct, for In eome-'ftilngB he has acted becoming ly, intelligently, 'even admirably, was imot Shameful, imjst dtertiputable In the rulings We gave while speaker pro fern. It will damage his standing wfth htanorable mejn of all rjartlteS. No wan can acft as he did without If-fnjury. He will live to And t out. The con duct of the minority in the railroad lease was mean, tyranmieal and outra-g-eous. We ee thie Southern claims a victory, and we sincerely It rust It is so. The more we learn of tine condi f Hion and ability of fob Seaboard the less ctoaiftdcnee We have In Its capabil ity of carrying out a contract. A road that takes ttbe earnings from women and children, from widows and orphans and applies them to other and Illegal directions is 111011 the road for a great State to have" transactions of magni tude with. But It Is not very curious that the proceedings of the house ere of so mixed, disorderly and disconmecC--ieaa kind that both parties to the cori- 1 test should set up a plea of vidtery. We would like to have eta! X ray to see into bJe real loperaJtiona of Rus , sell's thoiiglDts as 'to that le&se 1 whether he was wWlpped or victorious.

May 'North Carolina never , again suffer from such attempts at la making a burlesque and a. trag edy combined. A NORTHERN MAN IN AFRICA- Mr. Poultney .Bigelow, who wrote a . very entertaining work on the. German fight for existence in Napoleonic times, wnicn we read with much entertain ment, is now writing a series for Har per on "White Man's Africa." His last is thejifth part and is entitled "The Last ofa Great Black Nation." If we had sjjace we could glean much that is new, finteresting and valuable. He is a goodTtraveller and sets forth what he sees and learns in clear English. Dr. Theall, "the Tacitus of Africa," told , Mr. Bigelow that if Africa was ever "tr nmmint in flnvthlnp. It mua KT'a V white 1 man's country." Strange? to say, the doctor said that "now ajhite man will not work beside a black man, no matter how many laws jare passed, declaring the two to be equal." The same old story. Africa is settled by French, English, Germans, etc. They have the same prejudices against the negro that the blowing, sentimental, ignorant north has today. The south Is the only part of the world -vhere the negroes and the whites will work together. In Africa the negroeb do not like to work. How is it in the United States? ' ' Mr.. Bigelow found the negroes In the parts of Africa he visited very much like those in our own country. He says there are both sorts there as here mean and low, as well as of a bet ter kind. He says: "I am confident that if a given number of negroes were picked up hap-hazard from the differ ent portions of Africa, and then brought to Virginia or " Louisiana, dressed after the manner of American negroes, they would attract no more attention on the streets of New Or leans or Richmond than they do now along the Zambesi or the Caledon The pictures on pages 632, 638 and 640 authorize- this opinion. He says the Africans ai-e- really "merely children in .mental development," and can 'only "make progress under the guidance of white people." They are managed with astonishing ease by a few whites. 'Moshesh was the one great negro of Africa, but he would lie and cheat and deceive with uncommon readiness. He throws real and new light to us upon the negroes as to the Christian religion. He thinks the reports of mis sionaries very misleading. He says the missionaries think "that because a black man calls himself a Christian, he therefore ceases to be a heathen. Indeed, the African is most indifferent to religious matters, and will agree to almost any articles of faith, provided he can see some material interest ad- ; vanced." He enlarges here, but this much must do. Moshesh was a pro found hypocrite, using Christianity as a cloak to disguise his plans and as a lever to hoist him above his ene- ' mies. He died a heathen. To the last he "was under the influence of 'witch doctors and other local 'medicine men.'" The author has made a very careful examination of many volumes of missionary reports. He says they "are, a monument to the credulity of men old enough to know better." The negroes make fairly good soldiers when well disciplined by the whites and com- : manded by them. In uniform' they look like the negro soldiers of our own land You can get a good deal of Instruction from Mr. Bigelow's papers concerning the native African, t much also as to whites on that distant continent. A COURAGEOUS '.UPHOLDING OF RIGHT. There is no editor in the state who can' handle facts better or, make his points stronger than Editor Webster, of the Reidsville Weekly. It Is a fact that when Mr. Edward Gilliam was editing the other paper, The Review, there was no town In the state that had two edi tors superior to those of Reidsville, and it is at least doubtful If there was one that was its equal, Mr. Webster dis cusses with exceeding clearness and point a very important subject in his last paper "What is Faith in God." It is healthful reading, and we believe is true "all the way. He Is dealing with the Inconsistencies of Christian , men. eulogizing such men who give liberally to the church of money ,they have ac cumulated unjustly and wickedly. He is particularly vigorous In his criticism of the cigarette trust that has done so much evil to youth and so much dam age to the I farmers. In this state 200 people 'die annually from the abuse of the cigarette, while the wicked, oppres sive, wrong-doing trust actually cut off one-fourth of the money of the farmers whosetobacco is used by the trust manufacturers. We cull a pas sage or two which are samples of the whole. The editor asks: . . ' "Can a man have faith in God and despoil his fellowmen of their sub stance? It is noble to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, but Is it neces sary to create distress to get the credit of relieving, a small part of It? If so, we think It would be better to have fewer philanthropists of that type. It is noble to raise a fallen brother, but it would be. better not to knock him down in the -first instance. We have lived to see one member of the Cigarette Trust eulogized as worthy of rank with the immortal Craven, and another member singled out for special praise by leading Methodists, because each gave generously to religious insti tutions. What does it mean? - What Is the lesson-to the youth of the land? There can be no sense in tolling a lifetime for what may be obtained by share Dractice in a week. The point Is to be able to shell out to the colleges" and churches; how the money comes Is of no consequence." - " Only a few weeks ago in New York city a banker gave a million dollars to found a hospitalJ Does that fact entitle him to immortality, when It Is known that he mad millions by orranizing a raid upon the treasury and forcing the government to mortgage posterity . to satisfy his greed." ' Mr. Webster Is a Methodist layman In good standing, and one of the very ablest in North Carolina. He is loyal to his church, to his conscience, to truth, to humanity, and to his God, in denouncing shams-: and wrongs the eulogizing of gifts that are really the output of greed and wrong doing and oppression. Mr. Webster Is a man of physical and moral "courage, and Is bold for good morals, honor, and truth He will be assailed for his manliness, his fidelity, his outspoken criticisms of or ganizations that ,; produce "blood money" money got by hurting and op pressing mankind and particularly by hurting and even killing, it was said in the legislature, the youth of the state. HOME FOLKS. Some democrats appear among those appointed by the Tsar as trustees of one or two of the state instltulons. Wheth er the Tsar is compelled by law to do this is what we do not know. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the men selected to locate them politically in most cases. ' We recognize the names of few democrats. .. We have no idea that the Tsar appointed any democrat except under compulsion. He; is not "built that way." 1 . ' It was very handsome, very patriotic in Mrs. Lusk to give $500 to pay In part for the portrait of the noble and gifted Vance. It was paltry and contemptible in the house not to appropriate the to tal amount needed $1,000. These fel lows by roudylsm, filibustering, bun come harangues and absenteeism have cost the state some $30,000 or $40,000, but they higgle at $1,000 to honor the memory of the most popular man North Carolina ever had and one of the great estthe : greatest since Judge Badger passed away not long after .the war. The working of convicts on planta tions has made the penitentiary self-, supporting. Under the old system it was a heavy burden upon the honest tax-payers and good citizens. There were some who opposed continuing the present wise and self-sustaining sys tem. Their sympathies think of it were deeply touched by making rascals work on mud holes, filling them up. There is a vast amount of misplaced sympathy in this world. Some are al ways ready to shed tears for scoundrels and murderers who would not give a penny to help provide for the bereaved families of the murdered victims. The Raleigh Tribune displayed very commendable enterprise in its illustrated issue, with bio graphies accompanying the pictures, of the republican and populist solons. It was well done. It was very grati fying to our North Carolina pride to learn for the first time that there were so' many handsome, scholarly, able, noble members. It was quite a revla tion. We had no idea that distinction, usefulness. Influence, real ability and fine oratory so much fi-bounded. And then they were all "Honorables," too, which is a nice thing to have In a state. They rival the "Kurnels" and Yar borough House Generals. THEiMONTHLY MAGAZINES. "The National Magazine" for March continues Its finely illustrated series upon "Christ and His Time."

" We 'have known of Judge Crump, who recently died in Richmond, Va, for a Hong time. We knew of him as a leading legal praetHtJoner and an es teemed citizen. He was (held, as we earn, la the 'highest reverence, and richly deserved it. The Richmond DIb paJtch had a cordial and well written editorial upon him. He was Indeed a, man of much ntobflity of soul who xuld draw from a reputable editor such a tribute. The following closing paragraph Is specially noteworthy both for the praise bestowed and the. choice wording of the offering: "Judge Crump was a most delight ful conversational ist, and possessed the art of adapting ihis conversation to any circle Into Which, he might be thTOwn-whether composed of; chil dren, polltictams, lawyers, literati, or What not.- His nature was of the kind est; his -tnitegTlty granitic " To his friendship, to (his people, and to ev ery duty of citizenship, he was as true as the Treadle to tfhe pole. He was hos pitable to h teeart'e core; wa thor oughly imbued wi'th munlcipaJl and state -nridie and neitntotlam. and In the truest isentse foe was "a type of the old Virginia gentleman who loved Virginia and issTi tratf raons with an irntensny that was- passion ennobling in, Itself and Its example." WWen southern farmers whto have been robbed, ruined, oppressed for de cades by unfriendly legislation feel that tfhe law of self-preserVaJtSon ap peals to tbem sund they talk of tak ing steps for their own safety, the gold tooters bowl at once end say it Is "or ganized labor," wh'ioh farmers bfave opposed. The scoundrels who pluck end wrong them force such combi nations in the way of self -defense. The movement for less cottton, a. smaller-area does not meet the approvtal of gold organs up north. The application of northern methods of grab and profit to the Interests of southern .ctiton planters stirs the grinders at once. When cotton Is 5 or 6 cents a pound the planters must continue to make all they can that the low price may be maintained. If the cotton (mills should (have to pay 10 cents by our- talhnent of crop Instead Of 5 cents it WooiM be a great affront and Outrage to them and "their backers and. organs. The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) pub lished lately some Instructive figures as to the vote for representatives in the -federal congress. The average; vote to elect was about 38,000. The vote greatSy varied. For instance, In Mis sissippi less than J0.000 elected. While in Colorado as many as nearly 90,000 were given. The averages given In some other states were In Missouri was 44, 426, Illinois 49,096, Kansas 41,226, Iowa 47,021, Kentucky 38,275, Texas 48,168, Arkansas 25,232, Indiana 48,402, hlo 47,843, Pennsylvania 37,654, and INew York 39,752. Xt needed five votes ih II llnois and Texas to elect a congress man, where one served the, same pur pose In South Carolina, Whose average total vote for each of Its congressmeu was 9,789. Mississippi's was butt 9,527 and Nevada's 9,796. Georgia's 14,029 is not much better, nor is Louisiana's 16,053. Virginia's was 29,206N wblle West Virginia's reached 49,025. The total vote for members was 13,534,731; for presi dent, 14,073,285 a difference of 538,554 The Bryan demtocrats received 6,057, 111 votes against 6,735,411 for MoKm- ley republicans a. difference . of 678, 300. The boltocrats helped McKinley by giving the ghost ticket, 133,800, wWfla their candidates for the United States house got but 91,088. They call tlhem selves tbe ''democratic party."
