Pritchard for Governor, the Nezro White Mis Running Mate Two of a Kind. The Elizabeth Citv Economist sug gests as iit persons for the Republi cans and fusion Populists to head their Mate ticket with this year Jeter C. Pritchard for Governor and George H. White, of color, for Lieutenant Governor, and says : Pritchard is a 'Tennesseean, of buf falo lineage, and White is a pale face negro, with the worst instincts of the worst elements of the negro race. He is a leader of his race iu North Carolina. He is defiant, impertiuent and offensive. He has, in a public speech, invited a race conflict with the white race and chtillenirod them to a contest for the stiii:emacv in North Carolina. He made this wicked iiid indiscreet speech in a negro con vention in Raleigh ami on the 23d of February on the floor of the House of Representatives he made a speech, which was said to have been inspired by Jeter Pritchard, which arraigned the State of North Carolina for its treatment of negro criminals, and was composed of so many false state ments that he was afraid to confront the people of North Carolina with the a speech as it was delivered in the House of Representatives, and it was changed aud expurgated when pub lished in the Congressional Record ; all which dirty work, it is said, was the handiwork of Senator Pritchard. These two dirty, disgraced represent atives from North Carolina are close friends, socially and politically, and work together on the same political lines. Both invoke Federal military intervention in the political affairs of North Carolina, Pritchard to control the election of the Constitutional Amendment to protect the State in white supremacy, and White to con trol the general franchise as it ap plies to the negro race. Let Pritchard and White be the candidates and running mates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor of North Carolina, and the true white sons of North Carolina will meet them in a square, stand-up tight. GEN. WHEELER'S OPINION. Territorial Government Suited Needs of the Philippines. to San Francisco, Cal., March 7th. Gen. Joseph Wheeler and party, who have been in quarantine since their arrival from the Philippines on the transport Warren last Monday, were permitted to land to-night. Gen. Wheeler said that his health was excellent. He speaks enthusias tically of his impressions of Guam. He said he resigned from the army November 20, but was not ordered home until the middle of January. He did not care to discuss his reasons for leaving the army. "I shall go to Washington," he said, "having resigned from the army, and with a proper certificate of election and I expect to be sworn in. "It will be noted that my resigna tion from the army was handed in be fore Congress met." As to the situation in the rnilip- 1. pines and Guam he said: "All is very- satisfactory in both places. The war is over, except for the work of the guerilla bands that ambush our troops and do a little damage. "I was much pleased with the Fili pino people. They are intelligent, kind aud courteous. They are not disposed to revolution and violence, but the false presentation made to them regarding Americans verv nat urally aroused them and led them to believe that resistance to our rule was the only possible escape from impend ing evil. "I found that when thev learned the real character aud purposes of Americans they seemed well recon ciled to our government, and I firmly believe that after the establishment of a good and wise civil administra tion of affairs, an era of great pros perity will bless the people of the archipelago. "I believe the people are ready for a certain kind of self-government. They could be given the power to make laws under such a system of government as has been adopted for our territories. The municipal gov ernments are all in the hands of the natives, and thev get along without trouble or friction. Under a terri torial form the islands could be best controlled." The Seaboard Air Line has taken another important step in perfecting its through line from Washington to Florida. This was the obtaining of a charter from the Legislature of Vir- ginia for the construction of a road from Richmond to Washington.

AMENDMENT DISCUSSED OPINIONS OF PROMINENT AND PAPERS flEN As to the Constitutionality and Right eousness of the Law Elimination of IHierate Negroes from Politics in the State lust be Accomplished Better for the Negroes Themselves that this Shall be Done Law flak ing and Office Holding Not the Sphere of the Black Race. A great many Populists in the State will not submit to the dictation of Mr. Butler, nor jump into line when he popa thj party lash. 'I he intention of the legislature was to eliminate the ignorant negro vote without affecting the vote of any Southern white man. Many of the best constitutional lawyers hold that section 5 accomplishes this result and is constitutional. But none of us would consent to the amendment if it disfranchised the honest, but unlet tered white voter. It does not disfranchise any .South ern white man, but plainly and spe citically insures him his right to vote forever. There is no reason why any Popu list should vote against the amend ment. Charlotte Arc ivx. THE FITNESS OF THE WHITE MAN. The men whose suffrage are pro tected by this amendment are de scendants of twenty centuries of self governing ancestors. Says Manzel, the German historian: "While sages of the Eat were teaching wisdom be neath the palms: while the merchants of Tvre and Carthage, were wei'rhino their heavy - anchors and .spreading their purple sails for far seas; while the Greek was making the earth fair by his art, and the Roman founding his colossal empire of force, the Teuton at yet a child, naked among the for est beasts, and yet unharmed, aud in his sport he lorded it over them, for the child was of royal race aud des tined to win glory for all time to come. Ihe Anglo-Saxons of North Carolina are the heirs of the qualities that have ruled the earth, though sometimes unlettered, they arc uot unworthy to exercise the privilege descended from their ancestors. Man v of them are men whose veteran faces have burnt in battle-smoke, whose bodies bear the scars made by steel that bristled on fields of war. It was my privilege to see one of these old men, with white beard and head, sit ting in the hall of the House of Rep resetatives at Raleigh while the amendment was under codsideration. He understood that it required an educational qualification to vote with out any exception. He could neither read nor write, ith tears in his eyes he declared that he would be one who would willingly surrender this right that he might help to save his State. Such are the men whose lives have saved and sanctified humanity. Such are the men who work in field and factory -as in the Great Task Master's eye. Such are the men who have laid world-wide foundation of the empire of the Anglo-Saxon man. Thev are the men who were remem bered by the servants of the people who wrote this amendment. No one will ever be disfranchised by the great party of the common people. -Locke Craeg. FIRST OPPORTUNITY. For thirty years white Republican leaders have said with us that this was, because of his high qualifica tions, a white man's State and that white men should rule it. You cannot recall one who announced a contrary proposition. Next August will present the first opportunity that the men of our State have had during the gen eration of showing in a substantial manner that thev believe the duties and responsibilites of suffrage should be limited to those w ho can read and write and j et not on that account de nied to those in whose veins flow the blood of generations of electors, and on whose character is the imprint of centuries of heroic performance m public affairs. I mistake their wis dom, temper and determination if thev do not avail themselves of that glorious opportunity. W. W. Kitchin PRITCIIARD S HYPOCRISY. In his speech at Newton last Satur day Senator Pritchard who is drawing his pay as Senator while he is down here stumping against the constitu tional amendment, declared that if it be adopted "both white and colored will be disfranchised alike." Pritch ard knew when he said that that he was saying something as devoid of truth as he is of political honesty, for he knew that not a single white man will be disfranchised by that amend ment, unless by his own voluntary act. The amendment leaves the way open by which every white man in the State may be a voter; and that is one of the very things that Prjtchard protests against as a discrimination against the negro. The so-called "grandfather" clause takes in every white native born man, and every other white man who tad the right to vote in this or anv other State pre vious to the adoption of this amend ment, while there is ample time given to the young white men who cannot read or write to learn how and thus qualify themselves to register and be come voters. But it isn't the white man that Pritchard is troubled about, but the negro contingent who will be knocked out by this amendment, and on whose votes the Republican party relies to get into power again, and on which Pritchard relies to get back into the Senate again. He is simply playing the white man "and professing "this 1 - . . - . - excuse foLr espousing the cause of the 1 n,e?r?' whos1e aid, .he Lfflts ia coming j elections. But Pritchard s interest in both white man and negro is inspired by his interest in himself, for if his political career wasn't in the balance he wouldn't care a continental about eirher. Wilmington Star. In 1897 when Senator Pritchard was seeking to be re-elected to the Senate, the Caucasian said: "If Mr. Pritchard, who is not a sil ver man, is re-elected it will be by dishonest methods, and a chasm will be created and no bridge can be built across it." The Caucasian has gone over to the Republican camp horse, foot and dragoon and is following wherever Pritchard leads. Can it carry the hon est Populists? It tried its level best to make them vote for Negro Rule in 1893 and failed. It is trying the same thing again and will fail again. White folks will vote white in North Caro lina in 100O. News and Observer. IHE NORTH CAROLINA LAW IS FAIR AS WELL AS CONSTITU TIONAL. The strongest argument yet pro duced for the constitutionality of the grandfather clause of the proposed amendment is found in the fact that the United States Supreme Court sus- aincd the Mississippi law, "which," as the Post savs, "goes much further in its actual enforcement and opera- ions than our proposed law en go or will becarried. Under the Mississippi law the registrar is given absolute liscretion to sav whether a voter, though he can read the Consitution, understands' its meaning or not. In other words, Mississippi has a law which requires the voter to interpret 1 portion of the State Constitution. The registrar appointed by the ma chine ask the questions which are usy or dillicult, according to his de sire aim decides wnetucr or not he will allow you to vote. If such law is constitutional, it seems that we need ave no fears for the grandfather clause. e are glad to see mat tne North Carolina amendment seems to contain no loopholes for fraud of the Mississippi kind. Indeed, North Car olinans would not submit to the tyranny of the Mississippi law. Progressive Farmer. VOTERS. A government is safe in the hand3 of its citizens if they posssess three itialaications: 1st. A goodness that causes them to desire the greatest 'blessings to the greatest number. 2d. An intelligence that enables them to understand what is for the best interest of the whole people and the best means. of obtaining it. 3d. A conservatism and thoughtful- ness that prevents rashness which may lead to revolution. These qualifications may be ob tained by education. They surely can be ant! are owaineu tv long ex perience, and cast bv descent from father to sou. There is no doubt of mv last proposition. E. T. Justice. The suffrage laws of South Carolina and Mississippi are no more violative of the federal Constitution than those of Massachusetts. Washington Post, November 24th, i899. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION. The rule in the construction of statutes is thus stated by Chief Jus tice Shaw, of Massachusetts, in Mor row vs. Charlestown, 2 Grav, 84. "If thev (the parts of a statute) are so mutually connected with and depend ent on each other, as conditions, con siderations or compensations for each other as to warrant a belief that the Legislature intended them as a whole, anil that, if all could not be carried into effect, the Legislature would not pass the residue independently, and some parts are unconstitutional, all the provisions which are thus de pendent conditional or connected must fall with them." This language is endorsed by the Supreme Court of the United States in Allen vs. Louisiana, Km L. S. K. In Rb'gsbee vs. Durham, 94 N. C r,r. .... R., olio, the court savs: "tt hen eucu relations exist among the parts (of a statute), as that thev make one con si stent whole, and each material to the ellicacv of the statute in sjibserving ... 0 itsireneral obiect, it must stand as a unitv, or fall altogether." It seems to me that the application of the rule is easy. Ihe Legislature passed the amendment as a whole. and t lie people ratify it in the same way. Judge W. R. Allen. As to Air. Mebane. A correspondent, "X, protests against the idea of the Democratic State convention nominating Mr. C. II. Mebane, Superintendent of Public Instruction, for the position he now holds. It is true that Mr. Mebane was nominated and elected four years ago as a Republican. It is further true that he is the first man who has held the position since the war who has seemed to regard it otherwise than as a sinecure who has made anything out of it for the children of the people. It is true, again, that he has been a real "non-partisan" in the administration of his ollice, declaring that politics must have no place in the public schools and leaning rather to the Democratic than to the Repub lican boards deciding, indeed, in the contested school board cases in favor of the Democrats and advising the fusion boards to vacate in favor of the appointees of the last Legislature We have, too, seen Mr. Mebane quoted as in favor of the Constitu tional amendment. We do not know how this is, but if it is true the fact covers a multitude of sius. The Ob server has no zeal about the matter, but, speaking broadly, a partv which four vears ago, voted for six Populist electors, who were committed to a Populist for Vice-President, need not have any great scruples in nominat ing this year, for a non-partisan office, a man who has shown pre-eminent fitness for his place and who has discharged its duties in such a man ner that certainly no Democrat can object to him, whatever reason those who elected him may find for disap pointment in him in a partisan way.

Washington, March 24. The Senate to-day adopted the conference report on the Porto Ricati relief bill by a vote of 3D to 13, practically a strict party expression. No Democrat voted for the report, but Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, voted with the Republicans. The time of discussion was consumed principally by Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, who made a fierce attack upon the measure as agreed upon in conference and ac cused the Republican Senators and the Republican party of indirection, hypoc risy and "diity work." His speech was quite characteristic and was listened to with interest by his colleagues on the floor ;u:d the people in the gal leries. Mi'. Ga'.iinger, Republican, of New Hampshire, followed with a temperate statement of those who not only favor the report, but the passage of a Porto Rlcan tariff bill. Mr. Spocntr, of Wisconsin, closed the debate with a forceful statement In op position to Mr. Tilin-an's speech, in the course of which he took occasion sharp ly to criticize the South Carolina Sena tor for dragging the measure Into politics. His colloquial tilts with Mr. Tillman were iriimer.sely enjoyed by the auditors. The conference asked for by the House n the diplomatic and consular bill was agrttd to. Mr. Pettigiew's resolution asking the President for an itemized statement of the expenses of the Philippine commis sion, together with the amounts paid each commission r, wc-i e agreed to. The confiscate report - en the Porto Rican apt n.-i 1 iatb.n bill was then call ed up by Mr. Allison. Mr. Til'man, who voted for the bill as it passed the Senate tnd as a mem ber of the coTi.mittee en appropriations voted favorably to report it, vigorously opposed the conference report. He par ticularly regretted that the Senate conferreis bad yielded in agreeing to enlarge the purpose of tl.e measure by providing "for tl.e aid p.nJ reiitf of the people" of Porto Rlio." As long f.s you continue to feed these pi pie down there," declared Mr. Tillman, "ym my fe. d them. So long as the freed:i!t n's bureau was main tained in ihe South the colored race there amounted to nothing. That's characterirtic of the race." In losp' . o; e to an inquiry from Mr. Spconer, Mr. Tillman said: "I'm in favcr of free trade with Porto Rico. I don't believe in protecting one part of the United St s against another. That's my position." Responding to an Inquiry as to whether ho favored free trad with the Filipinos, Mr. Tillr.an said: "If we are to continue to the Philippines, I'm in favor of f:te tr.id with those islands. There is r.ii old legal axiom that a ir.in iai"-ni t lake advantage of his w ror.g. Tiiot a w ho voted to bring into the ciun-ry those islands with their cheap c ntract, peon and Malay labor, were told .,f the results that would follow the ratification of the treaty. And you could not get tha votes nect rsr-ry t; make that treaty law until you 1 r.d bought some men to vote for it." If it in now proposed to send a horde of cai pot -badgers over there. backed by the hayor.ets of soldiers, so long as I hf-.ve a vc ic3 I hall protest." He :., o that Ihr recent speech of Mr. lievctldii? had infused new life into the revolution, b cause it indicated th;j l.ypoci u y arid double dealing which he sa.d the L't.iu 1 States had resorted to in the tieatment of the Filipinos Addrtssing the Republican side, the people, h'? said, will irach you next No vember that trade and the flag and liberty and the Constitution go to gether. Further along Mr, Tillman said he had askid before and would like to know now whether the President was in favor of free tiade with forto Rico. "Is he for fiee trade to-day," he ask d, "or is he following along behind the car driven Ly th-? men who want pro tection ngair.st the little Island in the CarribTii sea?" After waiting an In stant Mr. Tillman said: Of couiRi', there is a dense silence in the chamber, as a response to my In quiry. The Senator from Ohio (Foraker) too, is doubtful as to his position. I d like to know if he is in favor of free trade with Porto Rico." Mr. Foraber replied that his position had been set f 1 ;h fully in the report on the P rto Hi' an Government bill. The committee. he s;'id. In investigating the subject became n r.vinced that the people of Porto Rut. rouid not stand taxation.

In reply, Mr. f-'po-ner said he had never yet been able to find any justifi cation for the murder of negroes In the South or for tr&n s ir jr" upon their rights as American citizens. "In view of these h!ateri:-nts of the Senator."

Some Reflections on the Surrender of the Boer Leader and His Gallant Little Army. j (Fayetterille Observer.) I One of the queer things connected i with the heroic defense of General I Cronje is the disposition to regard it ; as the greatest feat of the kind since Thermopyla. There were 40,000 j British troops pursuing Cronje's army ' of 7,000 or 8,000. The latter were j brought to bay and surrendered ten I days ago, what was left of them after ' casualties and escapes of so. all bodies from time to time had reduced the strength of the main body. - This is ' now said to have been 4,000, so that i Roberts had ten times as many men. j But contrast this with Lee's surrender j at Appomattox of 8,800 arms-bearing I men to 180,000 of Grant's men on the 'ground, over twenty times as many. I Yet the improvements in arms since j Lee's surrender have changed the ad j vantage possessed by the defense I from 3 to 1 in Lee's time to 10 to 1 in Cronje's time. So that, calculated in this way, which is the military ex perts' way of looking at it, Cronje's relative strength was six times as great as Lee's. There is another view of this South African war which Cronje's surrender calls up. The European continental press is teeming with expressions of sorrow for the Boers, and some of them are urging intervention by the powers in their behalf. Yet not one of these nations came to the assistance of the South in its heroic and unparalleled struggle for independence against the Northern-invaders in 1861-5, although the South was never under the suzer ainty of the North, while the Boers were, or had been, under the suzer ainty of (ireat Britain. The Boers are making a magnificent fight for their liberty ; they are slave holders, while their foes are abolition ists ; they are a rural and pastoral people, living under a sort of patri archal system of government ; they deserve our warmest sympathy and deserve to win but no one who be lieves that the South was wrong in 1861-5 can consistently sympathize with the Boers now. General Roberts seems to be treat ing his prisoners with the same cour tesy which General Grant exhibited to Lee's army; but does any one be lieve that if President Kruger is cap tured he will be manacled, as President Davis was? Or does any one imagine for a moment that if the British free the Boer slaves they will fail to pay for them as they did in the case of the West Indian slave owners in 1883? Or that they will scourge the con quered Boers with an army of thiev ing carpet-baggers? Or, having dis franchised their best citizens, enfran chise their newly-freed slaves? The British do not even call the Boers rebels. Yet the invaders of the South called the freeborn aud inde pendent people whom they were so foully wronging, "rebels." We greatly suspect that the strong expressions of sympathy with the Boers which the freedom-loving Rus sians and other Europeans are so loudly proclaiming, spring only from hostility to the Anglo-Saxon colossus which beats them in the quest of com merce. WILL YOU HELP? An Appeal to Surviving Members of the Twenty-third North Carolina Volunteers. The history of the Twenty-third North Carolina Volunteers in the war for Southern Independence, in the regimental series published by the State, under Judge Walter Clark's editorship, will go to press within two months. It is much to be de sired that this history be made fuller than the late Capt. H. C. Wall was able to make the sketch published in the newspapers three years ago. The Captain accomplished much, but his time was limited and little aid was extended him. Dr. V. K. Turner. Raleigh, N. C, is the present his torian. Surviving members of the regiment are most earnestly besought to lend a helping band, let every man write his war recollections as fully as he can and send to ns. Every man can, j if he will, tell something of interest, j No matter how trivial, so that it isj true, it may be of value in itself or help to corroborate aud verify other j points in doubt. j iAt us have incidents of battle, of i camp, of prison, of the march, any-! tiling, everything is desired. Not that; all can be used entire or even in part, ; but combined they will picture thej regiment's career and render possible' the writing of a history wcrtby of th , command which from early sixty-one' till the order came at Appomattox to stack arms was ever at the point of: duty. 1 Unless aid is given by the many! able to give it, the labor of the few j who, wholly without condensation ; and at a great sacrifice of time and' convenience are doing this work, can not accomplish much, and posterity will have but a poor and unworthy idea of what the Twenty-third did and suffered. And tosterity, to whom . every act and scene of the great drama . . . will be of living and ever-growing in- ! terest, will rate us soundly for our apathy, and hold the indifferent sur-1 4 J u.
