We referred on yesterday to the long conference at the "White house Sunday night between air, Roosevelt and IRooker Washington. The subject un der discussion at that interview, it is now announced, -was the lynchings of negroes at the south. A Washington dispatch quotes Washington as saying: "The conference was about negro - lynching in the south and the president if re-elected and free to act without political consideration would stop lynchings at any cost." If this be true, and no doubt it Ss, there is here much food for serious thought by the white men of the south. If this is Mr. (Roosevelt's attitude on this question it is of vital importance to this section that he be defeated for the presidency. His election would mean federal interference with force and arms if necessary to carry his point with the local affairs in the south. It would mean riots and blood shed. The southern people are not go- 1 Tl C ifl vttt 11 n r fro l ttt?V tit V r-i A- . have suffered in the past from repub lican domination. For Air. Roosevelt to assume such a position would be the worst, the most cruel thing he could do to the negro of the south. If Mr. Roosevelt enters upon his new term as president with such intentions the best thing the negroes can do would be to hasten their immigration to the north. But where shall they go? Not to Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, New York or Massachusetts, for in these and most - other northern states they are subject ed to greater mob violence than at the south and are not allowed to follow their occupations for their daily bread. Philadelphia would be the only asylum left open for them. This would be their only refuge from the too strenuous (friendship of their champion. When 'Mr. Roosevelt begins his crusade against lynching at the south then '- should Booker Washington assume in fact the role of the Moses of his race, - - . ' . I Sira up his loins, and with his staff in his hand lead Mr. Roosevelt's chosen people to the promised land on the banks of the Seuylkill, where they will find the ward politicians, the vote buyers and the election fraud managers of the republican party awaiting them with open arms. On to Philadelphia should be the cry from Maryland to Texas. Every utterance and every action of Mr. Roosevelt regarding the south shows more clearly the danger to the peace and quiet of this ' section " that would result from his election. The southern democrats can compass his defeat in one way and in one way only by throwing aside party differences and uniting on a man for their candi date for the presidency who can carry the solid south and those states of the north necessary to secure his election. This is no time for southern democrats to be jquarreling about questions of fi nance, foreign policy or even the tariff. They must get together on this one is sue Theodore Roosevelt. The New Bern Journal, of last Sat urday gives the following account of the arrival of the officials of the rail road from Raleigh after the issuing of the order dismissing the receiver: "As Is already known, a large crowd assembled at the Atlantic and North Carolina station yesterday morning to welcome the victorious officials. "Dispatches from Raleigh announc ed that Wrecker McBee would put in an appearance also. Perhaps there were one or two in the crowd who would have gladly welcomed 'Mack, perhaps so, may be not. Anyway, there were some people there who were just waiting for the arrival of McBee, thinking any old thing might happen. "As the train drew up and the fire works began to pop, a bowed figure was seen darting through the crowd and away. Some one shouted 'Mc Bee' and a chase began. The figure made a 'bee' line to the fish pond in the rear of the offices. There was a splash, a screaming and a poor, half drowned, scared to death negro was fished out of -the pond. "The negro was a cook on the work train, and had no doubt been listen ing to some of the 'complaints be stowed on McBee by other employes." It is evident that there were per sons in the crowd intent on doing some bodily harm to Mr. McBee on his arrival. Had it been he instead of a negro chased by the mob he would have been roughly handled. There seems to be no doubt that only his absence prevented a proceeding on the part of the crowd which chas ed the negro that would! have been a disgrace to New Bern and to the state. Had Mr. McBee been present who would have been responsible for his being mobbed by the crowd of ad herents of President Bryan and the other officials of the road? Who but those newspapers which day after day since the appointment of the receiver have published violent and denuncia tory articles on Mr. McBee? These inflammatory editorials had so stirred the passions and excited the resent ment of the New Bern people that some of them were ready to (proceed to mob violence to give expression to their anger against the men of whom they have had it dinged into their ears that they were conspirators, frauds, imposter attempting to rob the people of New Bern and the state out of their property in a most dis graceful and lawless manner. The crowd had been incited by these edi torials to the pitoh that it felt it would be justified in any act of vio lence to these men. This is freedom of the press with a vim. It is notable that in the despondency caused by womanly diseases, there seems to many a suffering woman no way of xmjj. muxi .(. me puce or uxe itseii. ii wouiu. d saa to record such a story of struggle and suffering' ex- a. t r i. .- o that in such dire distress many a woman has found a way back to health and happiness bythe use of Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription.

"Your medicine almost raised me from the dead," writes MPs. Edwin H. Gardner, of Egypt, Plymouth Co., Mass,, Box 14.

The last recruit in the ranks of those republicans who are voluntar ily selecting presidential candidates for the democratic party is Congress man Grosvenor, of Ohio, who tells the Virginia democrats that they should insist on the party choosing a candi date from the south. Were the demo crats to do so, he would be the first northern republican to renew the howl about the southern brigadier in the saddle. With the last Issue of The News, of Wilson, that paper changed hands. Mr. Charles T. Harriss has sold out to Messrs. R. B. Evans and J. T. El lis. We are promised under the new! management a "better paper than Wilson has yet enjoyed." Success to the new proprietors and may their wishes and hopes be realized. The Wilson Times says a. candidate in that town is reported as advertis ing himself as the candidate of the "masses against the classes' He who sows' the wind shall reap the whirlwind. If the sower alone would reap, the consequent whirwind it would not so much matter." In fact it Would be a good riddance, for any man who strives for any purpose to stir up one class of society against an other is a menace to good government and to the welfare of his community. But the trouble is that persons who take no part in the sowing of such wind suffer also in the devastating whirlwind. There can be no more vicious and harmful position taken by a politician or a candidate for of fice than that of being the representa tive of one class of our people against another. The only safe rule for gov ernment in a republic is that of a line of action by the governing power which insures the greatest good to the largest number of people. Govern ment the freest kind of government is based on a compromise of inter ests. Each member of society must give up some of his natural freedom for the benefit of others and for the general good of society. There can be no free government without it. Without this there wxiuld be either despotism in which the people have few or no rights, or anarchy in which with each individual might is right. We have no "classes" as distin guished from the "masses" in this country, and no man can bring about such a condition so' long as our free institutions exist. Men may, for their own selfish aims, attempt to show that such exists, but in doing so they do harm to those whose cause they pretend to advocate. Any man who undertakes to draw such a distinc tion in society and to array one set of people against another should be shunned by all, especially by those whose cause he pretends to champion. He is their worst enemy. He is using them as stepping stones to realize his selfish ambition and after he has so used them has no more interest in their welfare and would not hesitate to turn against them and attempt their ruin if he could climb higher thereby. Shun the man who sets himself up as the champion of one class of so ciety against another. He is the en emy of all society. A Charlotte young man who is very modest was the subject of a hypnotic or hoo-doo spell Sunday afternoon which he finds it hard to account for. The young man laid down, removing his outer garments, and soon went to sleep. This was about 3 o'clock. Shortly after he awoke for a moment and tried to get up, intending to go up town. He succeeded in getting about one sock on when he immedi ateiy went to sleep again, and says that he was under some strong hal lucination which told him that he couldn't get up. A few minutes af ter he awoke again and tried to com plete his toilet, but again went to sleep under the strange hallucination that he had to remain with his street clothing off. This occurred at inter vals of about an hour until seven o'clock, when he finally awoke and heard the church bells ringing. The hallucination was still upon him and it was with difficulty that he shook it off and dressed. The sensation was indeed strange and the young man is not anxious for a. repetition. Char lotte News. We thought the Sunday laws were strictly enforced in Charlotte. Sentiment Crystalizing on Parker. The capture of the first delegates to the St. Louis convention by Hearst, though intended as a spectacular coup by him, has had the effect of crys talizing public sentiment in the demo cratic ranks on Judge Parker. The Atlanta Journal claims that already there is a certainty that he will have 340 votes in the convention, from the following states: New York, Pennsyl vania, Indiana, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi and Texas. The same pa per has interviewed the senators and representatives from southern states, with the following striking result. Of z& senators interviewed there were for Parker 7. for Gorman 7, for any "conservative candidate" 6.. for Cock rell 1, no choicet 4. Representatives interviewed num bered 61. There were, for Parker 45, for Gorman 4 for Cleveland 1, for Ol ney for Bailey 1, for Hearst 1, for any "conservative candidate" 4, no choice at present 5. That is quite significant The fact is that the Hearst move ment has changed the democratic programme. The plan originally was to send uninstructed delegates to St. Louis. But New York is going to lead the way by instructing for Par ker. That much is certain. Other democratic states had as well fall in line. The fact that sentiment has crystalized upon him so marvelously in the last few days, shows that he is regarded as the most available can didate. We aie in favor of North Carolina's instructing for Parker and by the time the convention meets we nave no doubt that she will do so. instructions are in order now as the best means of quarantining against tne yellow fever.

At every stage of the conflict between Russia and Japan, the value becomes more apparent of the agreement brought about by Secretary Hay that both ' belligerents should respect the neutrality of China. Perhaps the most significant feature of Mr. Hay's note was the indication it gave of the kind is likely to exert in the ultimate set tlement of the questions now submit ted 10 tne arbitrament of war. Senator Depew referred in the senate the other day to tne position of this country in itwuxwii iu mai sememejit in a way wmcn excuea some controversy, but which sufficiently indicated the part which this government is likely to play wiien an liitrnationai congress shall be called to effect an adjustment of tne questions now in dispute such as may stand tne test of time. The sena tor remarked, with obvious truth that ten, years aero, from standpoint, we should not have cared wnat nappened to China, while today me iuiure of tnat ancient emnire is vital to American commerce, industry and traoe. JSLT. Denew mierht 1 haw snorienea tne period and truthfnllv asserted mat only six years ago very iew puonc men in this country cared what happened to China. When the dismembejrment of the empire appear ed to nave oegun by the German seiz uxc xviaucudu ana, tne Jrtussian in vestment of Port Arthur, Mr. John Sherman, who was then secretarv of state, declared that this srovernment j would view with entire equanimity the creaKup oi China, since our merchants would be able to do more' business with the fragments than they had ever been able to do with the undivided countrv. This opinion was concurred in by party leader like the late Mr. LMngley, and only nere and there encountered suffi ciently well informed opinion on the side of the policy which our government subsequently adopted. That policy may be said to have been initiated at the close of 1898, when the influence of Mr. John Hay began to be felt in the department of state, and after the com mercial sentiment of the country had been aroused by appeals in this jour nal and from other quarters, tending to snow the shortsighted folly of con ceding that the markets of Central Asia might be closed against us at the caprice of the great military powers of iSurope. ! It has taken some time to' spread the light on this subject, but that it has been pretty successfully done may be inferred from this clear statement of the case made by Senator Depew: "If Russia should succeed, for instance, and take Manchuria, which is a lanare portion of Chinese territory, with its millions of people, wth what Great IBritain, Germany and France have sliced off from that country, if in the general adjustment there should be further division and occupation, it would all mean that other doors were to be closed and other barriers to be raised against American production and its entrance into those markets. So our policy is, and must be to main tain as far as possible the integrity of China and hex autonomy. We are go ing to be consulted when that time comes and this Russian-Japanese war is over, no matter which side is the victor. We are to be consulted because the adjustment is not to be made, nor to be permitted by the rest of Europe to be made, by those two powers, but by a European congress, the same as it has always been." It may safely assumed that Senator Bepew did not make this declaration without know ing something of the. mind of the presi dent and the secretary of state, as well as of that of the majority of hi? own colleagues. One of these, at least Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, put the obligations of this country on their proper basis when he said in the course of the discussion raised by Mr. Depew that the interests of the Uniteu States England and Japan are, in the nature of the case. one. They are all in favor or and believe in maintaining the open door as against Russia and whatever power may be associated with her, and are therefore unalterably opposed to the dismemberment of the Chinese em pire or the absorption of Manchuria by Russia. TV. 1 -i -i , j. iic umy reai aiscoraant note im ported into this dicsussion came from Senator Patterson, of Colorado, who ventilated some fanciful theories about the iMiropean powers arriving at a com mon understanding for a partition of China, our opposition and that of Ja pan to the contrary notwithstanding, xxie caiciil or ivir. Patterson's misin formation was still more clearly indi cated Dy his statement that when Secretary Hay sent out his note to the different powers he simply acted as the mouthpiece of Germany. This is a statement which Secretary Hay can hardly meet with a public contradic tion, but it is equally one which a Sen ator of the United States had no right to make without some attempt at ver ification. As a matter of fact, the German proposal is known to have been something ontirely different from that male by the. United States. It contem plated, not a voluntary respect on the part or the belligerents for the neutral ity of China, but the neutralization of China under the enforced guardianship of the powers. To such a proposal the United States could not possibly be a party were it for no other reason than that it was equivalent to tying the hands of China whichever way she might find her interests to incline at any stage of the conflict. Precisely what Germany had in view in render ing it impossible for China to join, under any crcumstances. in the pres ent struggle, can only be conjectured. Our government rightly concluded that it did not come within its province to propose an arrangement which mis-ht at some future time inure to the disad vantage of Japan, and, therefore, kept strictly within the lines of interna tional propriety in givng the proposal the form in which it was accented. When it comes to be a question of ad justing the future relations of the powers interested in Eastern Asia, and of giving a lasting definition to their spheres of interest, it mav reasonably be inferred that the influence of the United States will be not less judicious ly exercised than it was Immediately after the outbreak of the war.
