It istoogreat a strain upon i heir nerves mil sense of right to subject the peo ple of anv community to the ordeal of a public trial with all its shocking and revolting details that justice may he done. A brute of the Tippcy type who commits such a crime as he confesses to deserves neither consideration nor com passion, and the speediest method of accomplishingasi end in such cases, with the least cost to the tax payers, might some times be adopted with good effect, especially in localities where the impression seems to pre vail that you can't hang a man no matter what the nat ure of the crime committed.

Those of our readers who saw the titie performing elephant, .lolly, with the Hagenbeck trained animal show in Kichmond during the street fair and carnival, will learn with regret we know, that he died suddenly of heart disease on Wednesday of laU week in Baltimore. .lolly was a native of India and was one of the largest of his species, lie was wonderfully sagacious, well trained, good nat ured and apparently fond of his work. He was said to be the finest performing elephant in the world. Certainly we have never seen his cijual and he was bv odds the largest trick elephant we ever saw. He was valued at an enormous price by hi, owner. Mr. Frank C. Uostoek. and Matt Johnson, his trainer, lav ished the affection of a father's heart upon the great beast. The death of Jolly hits Mr. Hos toek doubly hard. Two weeks ago Sport, the companion and chum of Jolly, aud himself well trained and highly valued, fell from the ear in which he was being transported from Scran ton to Newark and was so badly injured that he had to be killed. He was brought back to I?altimore ami everything possible was done to save him but without avail. Thursday, the day following Jolly's death. Sport was executed to put an end to his sufferings. A strong rope was tied around the big elephant's neck and he was huug a powerful steam derrick belonging to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad being used for the purpose. An autopsy revealed the fact that Sport's spine was broken. Jolly's heart, which is said to have weighed about 50 pounds, was found to be badly diseased. Both elephants were skinned and the heads and feet saved. These will be mounted and will go to some mu seum of natural history.

White, the Negro Congress man From North Carolina, the Last of His Race to Enjoy That Distinc tion. Writing about negroes who have sat in the halls of Congress, Hon. Amos J. Cum tilings comes down to George 11. White, of North Carolina, and says: He is is the last one of his race. An epoch is closed. The reconstruc tion tide has at last passed the Hood and is beginning to ebb. lhe palmy davs of the new era are over and the relapse is here. Mere ephemera were the carpet-bagger and seallawngger. I hey were political insects witu lives measured bv davs. But the negro survived nearly a third of a century. He was a part of the soil of the South, cultivated by questionable methods, but never fertilized. 15ut the situa tion has changed. The woods have been cut away and the stream has run dry. The denuding of the forest oe- mu four years ago wnen .Mississippi adopted a State Constitution that practically disf ranctjiseit tne negro.

There may be water under them, but whether it will ever oo.e to the service time alone can determine. What a regime it was in its heyday. The amnestide whites seem to have regarded it as a sort of political night mare. No more incongruous politi cal elements were upheaved in the French revolution. It was a stratum of statesmanship ttnforeshadow ed and utterly unknown. It was like fungi, the product of a night, and only a few experts could separate the mush room from tin; toadstool.

Constitutionality of the ActThought fully Considered by a Layman Benefits that Will be Derived from its Adoption Mr. C. L. Blacknall's Views on the Supject as Given in a Letter to Mr. T. T. Hicks. KlTTIiKLL. N. ('., June l'JIMl. Mil T. T. Hicks. Henderson, N. ('. My iJt'ir Sir: Your letter, answering in v enuuirv as to how. von stood on the proposed Constitutional amendment, is received. You say, in substance, that you lx-lieye the iiieasureiiiiconstitut iotial. but that you will not vote against it. and exited to vote for it, out of respect for the opinions of themaiiy wiseand learned men who differ with you. You ask un to write you my views and how 1 will vote and how 3011 should and my rea sons for it. While giving' you my princi pal reasons for favoring the amendment it would be presumptions in tin to say how a man (if your acknowledged ability should vote. I shall vote for the amendment because I believe it is right. Because the white ice is superior to tin; black race and therefore should rule, and the amend ment, if adopted, puts the State in the hands of the whites. Section IV of the amendment permits ill, white and black, that can read and write to vote unless otherwise disquali fied. Section V permits neatly all the whiter 'uneducated foreigners excluded) uid sunn,' of the blacks that cannot read and write to vote. This tints it m the hands of the whites. So Section IV does not discriminate between the races, neither does Section V in the letter of the law (as I understand it), but does in reality discriminate against the race possessing the lesser in favor of the race possessing the greater intelligence. I1011- estv, chastity, thrift, progressivcness. freedom in voliuij. and many other virtues. Someone has said Section V discriminates not against, the negro as a race but against him on account of his race char acteristics liisiteeuliar mental and moral make-up. Supt tose. for the sake of a compari son between the races, we say that ot the white men about of them lire goud citi zens and l4' bad. and of the negro are bad citizens and are good (and that's a liberal proposition in favor of the negro) and we can truly say that practically the w hole four-fourths ot the negroes blindly and enthusiastically follow politically (though not trusting them otherwise, as n rule.) the leadership of the of bad whites, or rather a part of them. And it is a part of this same bad element among the w hites that is responsible for about fill the eussedness, politically, that the South has groaned under since the Civil War. With the disfranchisement of the larger part of the negroes tnav we not reason ably hone will come the disfranchisement from political power, of a greater part of the demagogues and tricksters in all parties, insuring thereby the nomina tion ami election 01 a larger per cent. 01 good men? And it will also make prac ticable primary elections, as used in some States having large white majontu and I believe these primary elections would get nearer at thechoice of the peo ple and lie freer from danger of boss ru't than with our present system. Not being a lawyer I am not capable of expressing an opinion on the ( 'onstitu- tionabtv ot the amendment. AInnv law vers though of the State and Nation of the highest character and ability express the opinion that it is ( (institutional And it is a matter of fact.

So it violates it again tit take that franchise, irroitiifully and unworthily bestowed, from some of them, all of whom, with rare ex ceptions, have most unworthily used it. it is nevertheless right morally. 1'nlessthe amendment is adopted (and it is the only way that appeared prac ticable to our wise law makers and they were wise and learned men to put tin State in the hands of the whites) then w will have intervals of irresponsible rub and the greed of corrupt white men for it. -it .. ouice win cause tiiese intervals to come often and ofteiier and stay longer and longer unless drastic measures are taken to prevent it, and when such rule becomes unbearable, as it will, then drastic meas ures, from time to time, will be taken in the future as they have in the past, and we will have repititions of the Wilming ton affair or suppression of votes by in timidation, ballot box stuffing. &-'.. as has lieen practiced by necessity (however much to be deplored) in some sections, and as long as we have such a large thoroughly irresponsible vote we will have these things with till their demor alizing tendencies to contend with. Sol say if the proposed amendment is not Constitutional it is the lesser evil, mor ally. Io you believe the legality of the amend ment, if adopted, will ever go to the test in the courts, and if so do you believe the decision would be against it? And if the worst should come wouldn't both Sec tions IV and V go down together, if one did. leaving us where we started'.' The Wilmington affair, while unlawful, was one of those occasions when the un written law is greater than the written. And, too, it was an occasion when the most good to the greatest number was secured. Now if the ends to be served justified the means used on that occasion, and I say most emphatically they did. then why don't the ends to be served by lessening the necessity of such deplorable affairs as this one. and others that are worse, justify the means in the shape of the passage of the proposed amendment? I mean solely from a moral standpoint, even if we admit the unconstitutionality of the amendment, and yon. I believe, only doubt it. That most heinous of all crimes (I could almost say all other crimes combined are virtues compared with this one) and committed almost exclusively by the ne gro was an almost unknown one in th. South until since the Civil War. All during that war. when nearly all the white men of the South were from their homes, this, now common crime, was. as 1 say, almost unknown, and if then was a single instance of it where the white woiuau was the victim of the negro I have not heard of it. Ami w hy was this? it was simply Itecanse the white man. though away, was in supreme power. I shudder to think how it w ould Ik now with as many white men gone. And while the white man Wing securely in power now would not top this crime entirely, under the changed conditions, it would, nevertheless, to a very great ex tent lessen it, I fully Itelieve, as well as lessen other race troubles. And there would consequently come an era of let ter feeling lietwi-en the races, something most earnestly hoped for by all good citizens. Among the negroes who cannot vote are worthy ones who have the confidence, resjted and friendship of the whites, and they feel that it is done to humiliate them anil take their rights and liberties away. The ballot coming to them close on the htvls of their freedom they look upon the two as inseparable, which is natural, considering the teachings of theircorrupt leaders. Instead of enslaving it on the contrary loosens the shackles with w hich the political trickster and demagogue has the negro bound and sets him five ' fm-froui the worst of masters and from ; shackles that have retarded his progress J morally, mentally and financially, in I many respects, more than the hhavkles of bis old slnv-ry. Mid in the same time re- j tarditl the progress of the whites. Con sequently, from that cause, and others j connected with his misuse of the ballot. ! bad feelings have leii engendered be tween the races. So the ballot that should never have len given him. cer tainly not until he was fit to use it. does him "no harm, except to his feelings, in U-iiig taken away. I would not for a moment hold that the memliers of the Democratic party are blameless, for they are not. for we have, as has all parties, tricksters, demagogues and other bad men among us. And. as Mr. John I!.

I'lidoiibtedly the danger of irresponsible rule in the State has retarded material progress by keeping away capital and liable home seekers, as well as m manv other ways. No. I cannot think there is as much dan ger from bad rule by from 20.000 to 30.0O0 negro voters as from 1:20.000 to KJO.OOO. Of course, no man can tell what split may come in tin whites nor what the future mav have in store for us. but we do know that now the danger of bad rule on this account is ever present with us. One of the best features of the amend ment is the educational one denying the ballot to every boy not of age in time to register once before December 1 st. l'.tOS. unless he learns to read and write. This will stimulate parents to send their chil dren to school, and consequently many bovs will ncquircau education whoother- wise would never have known a letter in a book, besides tin thousands of boys, ami incidentally girls, that will get some ducation. Its useless to name to any man who has a thinking machine in use. and estecially one of your sujerior abil ity, the advantages of an education in this progressive age. A few davs ago a man was objecting to the educational requirement for the boy who is not of age tiv I'ecemtier 1st. i '.Hi-fi. saving nt could not spare his children from work to attend the free school. Beingretninded of his duty as parent he owed them, lit said he would trv to send them, but said "suppose I should die and leave my wife and several little children." I could but think that, holding the views he did. edu cationally, suppose the vife. should die, thru I would pity his poor little children, for it s a matter ot fact that the mothers are more anxious to educate and other wise elevate their children than the fathers are, and will do it, too. if left alone. In proof of this vou see a poor widow left with a lot of little children. and everybody says. "Poor woman, what is going to become of her and the cniniien; w en. riiey nave a nam time. of it. but they pull through some how or other, tmd the children (til (jo to school. The parent who will not send his children to school, at least long enough to learn to read and write, with the free schools in every community, should be made by his parent, (or lawful corrector) the State, to do so, for the State makes him feed, clothe and care for in sickness the body of his child. and should not let him perish its mind, especially when the State fur nishes the mind food free. Even the llepublican party that did the irreparable wrong in giving the negro the ballot in the South, virtually acknowl edges it now by discriminating against them, in this respect, in our newly acquired territory. The poll tax feature of the amendment is reasonable and just to the voter, for then poll tax is a lien only on assessed property, so a man who has no assessed property is not compelled by law to pay poll tax. but if he does not pay poll tax. unless tax free or excused for physical dis ability, he docs not vote. And the able bodied men who are really too poor to pay this tax are very, very few and are to be pitied, but the able bodied men who will not pay this tax, because not com pelled to. are many times more, and these men who could but will not pay their goes to the public schools from which the poor get. nud should get. the most bene fit) then such person, be he white or black, read or unread, cannot, and should not vote.

THOMASON'S. The Race Question. The New York Tribune pubishes an interview with Mr. John Barrett, ex Minister to Siam, who has recently traveled through the South. Mr. Barrett says among other things: "As to the race problem, I believe that we Northerners should leave that to the Southerners to settle, and we can count on their doing it better than if we intervene and bring out sectional feeling and distrust. The South today is doing all in its power to raise the moral, educational and industrial status of the negro, even if it naturally objects to his political control. In this connection it can be said that it is the race question alone that keeps the South solid in politics. Otherwise the new material develop ment with all its ramitieatons would make the Southern States Republican or Democratic according as their in terests were best safeguarded."

For several days the lawmakers have I teen arriving here, and to-day the "rear guard"' are expected to mine in numbers sufficient to more than furnish the neces sary quorum in each branch of the legis lature. 1 have noted, so far. however, the absence of Republican faces, and the physiognomy of fusion Pops has not beamed upon me to an overwhelming ex tent. If they had their way there would Ite no extra session, you can rely-upon it. They know too well what it will mean and accomplish towards disproving and dispelling the falsehoods and fears they have spread and conjured up in the minds of some of th" illiterate and ignorant white voters. They know and too sen sibly feel that this body of Democratic patriots will remove every valid objec tion, however remote, that any white man can honestly entertain to the adop tion of the Constitutional amendment; and they know that then the few who may now feel some lingering fear of its effects, having the last obstacle of doubt or objection removed, will fall in line and aid the balance of their honest nnd self restecting brethren to create White Rule in North Carolina thereafter and make negro domination in politics an impos sibility for all time to come. HOW $100,000 CAME TO XOKTH CAKOL1NA. On the train the other day I was talk ing with a gentleman who was returning from Morehead, where he had attended the brilliant opening of the season at the "Atlantic." He remarked upon the liene tit and advantages such popular resorts are to a State in attracting outsiders within our borders. He said: "It is a fact, not generally recognized, that the 'Atlantic' (and perhaps other re sorts) is materially assisting in the development of our resources and helping to build up the State industrially. Many of the visitors there each season of late years tire wealthy men capitalists and investors, whoarealwavs on the lookout for good investments. Quite a number have already, after coming here for pleas ure, seen for the first time and recognized the splendid advantages of our State in a number of respects. ""I personally know of three such visi tors who remained to investigate, and as a result have lately put over $ 100.000 of their money in industrial enterprises in North Carolina. And these gentlemen told me that they probably would never have come within our gates had they not been attracted bv the 'Atlantic Hotel' at Morehead." This is a new way of putting It, but a very important additional argument for patronizing our home resorts ami trying to induce as many outsiders to do so as possible. ASKXT TWO I'XlVKltKITY PRESIDENTS If all elections or appointments to posi tions of trust were met with such univer sal approval as the selection of Drs Venable and Vann to preside over the I'niversitv of North Carolina and the Baptist Female 1'ni versify, of Raleigh, respectively, we would all be happier than we some times are. Dr. venable has been identified with the institution over which he is now called to preside too long to need an introduction to Xorth Carolinians. And yet he is a comparative ticularly pleased at his election. Dr. R. T. Vann, at present of Scotland Neck Baptist church, is not only talentei and well qualified for the new office, but his is a most remarkable personality otherwise. He has neither hands nor arms (both being severed from his bodv by accident in early life), and yet the portion of the limbs left (vulgarly called stumps, although 1 know no bette word to use) have been educated to pel form many offices for him which one would think impossible. For instance he is one of the best shots with a gun in the State, and mmuallv takes much delight in hunting birds. His friends here declare he will make a great success as president of the "H. F. I . TLACliLlis' CONVENTION' THIS WEEK To-day (Tuesday) the annual conven tion of the Xorth Carolina Teachers' As sociation begins and continues until next Monday and Secretary Mebane told me yesterday that he expected this to be tht most successful "Assembly for years. The convention will be held at More head, where most of the annual anther ings of this Association have been held and hundreds of teachers and ' friends of education" are journeying thence as 1 write. The Atlantic Hotel management airain gives the teachers and their friends the low rate of fl. 00 per day, and many take advantage of this fact to spend a week or two at this elegant and famous re sort. J he educators are this year deco rated with a neat button, ltearing the inscription A. C. Teachers Assembly June 12th-17th An Educational Time." Superintendent of Instruction and Sec retary Mebane procured these and dis tributed them during the last few davs. These people never fared better than they will this time at the Atlantic. THIEVINO NEOHO POSTMASTEItS. During the term of the United States Court here last week, three negro post masters (of White's district) were sen tenced to prison for theft of government money and all three of them got off with about a year in jail and a fine each, not one going to the penitentiary.
