The cases against the Democrat is registrars, indicted in the Uni ted States District court at Greens boro, were uo piossed yesterday. District Attorney Hoi ton ami J ndge Boyil sjioke becomingly on the occasion, and are to be com mended for the language used and 1 he course taken. The cases were n d pros ed with leave to reinstate them, but this is the tnrm. sis wa understand it, in nearly all crimi nal cases, and the particular lan guage signifies nothing the cases are, to all intents and purposes, as effectually and finally disposed of as if they had never been I roug'it. Thus, a number of election ofrw ers are quit of a lot of trouble a d ex pense, to say no more. Some of them may have been guilty of tech nical violation of the law, and, if the cases had come to trial, all of them might have been convicted and sent to the penitentiary, for verdicts of juries are proverbially uncertain. They will feel much more comfortable in the know ledge that they do not have to come to trial, and on every account there is reason for personal and general gratnlation on the termi nation of this proceeding. The conservative people of tlie Slate are to be particularly congratula te 1 upon the fact that the unwor thy Democratic effort, made at the last moment, to goad these Repub lican court officials into extreme measures, failed. They resisted the provocation to partisan action, and thereby a "good many of our people are saved the liability of tern sat Sing Sing or Albany, Charlotte Observer.' The cases against the Democrat ic Registrars have been nol pross el. Mr. Hoi ton and Judge Boyd expressed themselves on the sub- i iect. ami while we may not be able claimed tiiat it we had origi- to emorse tue conclusions arrived ally declared our intention to ,ive the Filipinos their indepen- ieui-e there would have been no Wirreetion, but be that as it may and without discussing the good or 1 policy of such a declaration, it Is m fact that there was an in surredion, that Aguinaldo made ;;ir upon the American troops, aud there was but one thing for us udo aiid that was to return his fre and to use all the means at wr command to bring the iusur ratiouists to terms and restore peace ami order.

Men wh6 knowingly and wilfully violate the law, and deprive thousands of citi zens of their legal and constitu tional rights, deserve to be punish ed, and the punishment meted out should be such as would deter men from future violations. If the ac tion of the court at Greensboro will bring peace, and insure hon est elections in the future, it will have I eeu for the best, for every honest, good citizen of the state de sires peace, honest and fair elec tions, and the building up of thc state from Manteo to Cherokee. We must say though, that e have uo faith or confidence ia the De mocratic machine. Gov. Ay cock has suown that he is a tool in the hands of Simmons et al. The ap pointment of such men as Francis D. Winston, shows that he is more anxious to reward men totally un fit to sit on the bench, than he is promote peace and reward the bet ter element. You can't gather figs of thistles, nor can you get virtue and goodness out of the Democrat c n achiue. As long as Boss Sim mons dictates and controls, his puppets .vill do his bidding. Men who will cheat and shoot negroes, .vill cheat white Republicans if ,hey deem it tecessary to party success. WHY SURE. The Wadesboro Messeuger-In-telligencer thinks the only decent j course left open for the "accused 'judges," is for them to resign their j seats on the Supreme Court bench. Well, well, well! Resign because a crowd of hungry Democratic par- I tis in place hunters have under jt ikeu to impeach them so that 1 their positions might be filled with sweet scented Democrats like that fellow who wanted to ride the dis trict with -the negro Geo. H. White ' far instance. Resign bacaase a I fe;.' dirty nose rag papers have im i pague I their motives and sworn wratn ana vengeance against the ju iges, who, by the way, would be pure and spotless statesmen if they were wearing the Democratic tag. We are ut personally ac qnaintel with the judges whose places tlie Democratic machine tried t) get, bat anybody with sense enough to get out of a show er of rain, can see clearly the basis of the infamous impeachment pro ceedings and anybody that knows which end is up when he's walk ing knows that the impeachment proceedings would never have been dreamed of if the "accused judges" had been wearing the same party label that the origi ua tors of the impeachment proceed ings are wearing. Bat we expect to hear of the judges stepping down and out after they learn that it is the desire of t..e Wadesboro naoer that they do so that is, if they hear of it. Our Home. We clip the following two edi torial paragrarjhs from the Wash ington Post: "The Xorth Carolina people owe much to those Democratic mem bers of ihe State Senate who de clined to join in a political raid on the Supreme Court." "The Xorth Carolina Democrats have been saved from the schemes of some decidedly reckless leaders. Court smashing is always a dan gerous practice." rXOLPROSOF ELECTIOX CASES. Greensboro, Agril 9. Just be fore the adjournment of Federal Court, this afternoon, the cases against the Democratic registrars, which were set for trial at the present term, were nol prossed. In making the motion District At torney Holton made the following statement, which was concurred in by Assistant District Attorney Price: "In view of the situation in this State and the - general " desire for peace and quiet, and in consider ation of what we conceive to be for the best interest of the State, we respectfully recommend to the court that, in these cases, a nolle prosequi be entere 1 upon the terms and conditions following; that is to say: "F'irst, that the United States attorney icserves the right to rein state if his opinion, the public good requires it. "Second, we are prompted to A FIGHT. We notice that Congressman Bellamy has been in a fight with Attorney Meaus at Wilmington. It is hard to understand this un less the Congressman was in a quandary and had no chance to run. Caucasian. That's what we thought about it. It will be remembered that during the last campaign the Con gressman opened his mouth and spake to a newspaper reporter and said that Senator Butler should be run out of the State. The Samp son county man may be deficient in some respects but he has nerve and courage enough to compare with the average, at least, and he promptly wrote the Wilmington Congressman and suggested that a i they were both men that he (Bellamy) undertake the job of running him out of the State, whereupon the apparently brave Congressman subsided, cooled off almost to freezing temperature, went into his hole and pulled the hole in after him. That he jot in to a fight is certainly a mystery. Our Home.

The Post is right in both of the above paragraphs. The people of the State are grateful to the twelve Democratic Senators wdio refused to obey the dictates of the Sim mons red shirt machine to make a political raid on the court for the purpose of securing offices and packing the court. But the law and evidence were so strong in favor of the judges and against their impeachment the only thing strange to the people of Xorth Carolina is that a single Senator conld have voted for conviction, even though the party lash was laid on most vigorously. The Post is right in the second paragraph when it says that these twelve Seuatois have saved their party from doing a reckless and dangerous thing. Indeed, nothing could have damaged the Democratic party more and nothing could have made it more certain that the opposit ion would go into power the next election than for the Simmons ma chine to have convicted the judges by brute force and numbers. Caucasian. He Got it at Last. The bullying manner sometimes assumed by certain barristers iu cross-examination in order to con fuse a witness is nototious, and many are the tales told of witness es who have turned the tables on their prosecutors. The following relates to a. case of this kind: In a civil action on money mat ters the plaintiff had stated that his financial position was always satisfactory. In cross-examination he was asked if ever he had been bmkrupt. "No,'' was the answer. Xext question was: "Xow, be careful; did you ever stop pay ment?" "Yes," was the reply. ""Ah!" exclaimed the counsel, I thought we should get it at last. When did that happen!" "After Ivpaid all I owed," was the answer JOBCOULDX'T r HAVE STOOD IT If he'd had Itching Piles.

Sanford. : . pursue this course in considera tion of the recommendations to us by leading conservative men of the State, of all political parties, as that cours3 would, in their opin iou, best subserve the pub ic wel fare, regardless of the guilt or in nocence of the parties. "Third, That this course is re commended without passing upon the question of the guilt of the parties inasmuch as, according to the testimony in the possession of the government, the defendants, in our opinion, might properly be convicted; but with the so e desire to f irther what is conceived to be promotive of peace and quiet in the State and with the firm belief on our part that it is the lawabid ing citizens of the State to secure and enforce the constitutional right of every citizen and fully pro tect him in the exercise of his elec tive franchise and privileges. "If these commendable purposes can be accomplished or subserved we consider to be for the best in terest of the State, iu the present state of affairs, to discontinue the further prosecution of these cases, with the understanding that con ditions hereafter are to be such that there will be no necessity for the prosecution of such cases." In ordering the cases nol pross ed, Judge Boyd said: "The court approves the course taken by the district attorney, be cause I believe that it will better subserve the future peace and good order of the State than would a further prosecution of the indict ments. I am not oblivious of the conditions which ' surround me, and I am satisfied that those who represent the best classes of citi zens desire to uphold the good name of the State, and preserve that harmony and good will a inoug our people which ought to prevail for the best interest of all. I have confidence in the integrity of those who have suggested the action taken today in these cases, and commend the district attorney that he has responded to a request which seems to come to him as a co n mand from representatives o the best social and business ele ment of the State. The cessation of the turmoil which has afflicted as, the restoration of peaceful and cordial relations among our people are considerations far above those which may enter into any individ ual prosecutions. "Believing that the discontinu ance of thpse' cases is a long step toward the realization of condit ions so material to the future wel fare of the community, I desire to expiess my hearty approval of the action which has been taken and I am sure that all goo 1 citizens will join me in the hope that what as been done here today will have the effect to cement together our people in closer bonds of friend ship and inure to the inestimable blessings of peace and good order among ns." Charlotte Observer. Judge Furches at His Old Home. "While Judge Furches was rest ing up he came over to Davie and spent two or three days with his brother and sisters near Farming ton this county. His friends in Davie were glad to have him w ith them and gladder still to know that Davie's honored son returned to his old home without a cloud or stain upon his eschntcheon. He has risen from a poor farmers boy to the chief justiceship of his state, an honor of which he and -his friends feel proud. He has lived a simple life of de votion to his profession, and has won the admiration and respect of the people of the state. While he ii a staunch Republican, his life has been that of a good man and an upright citizen, and while the shafts of partizau hate and spite have been hurled at him with deadly intent, they have fahen at his feet harmless. With a con scious pride of innocence, with love and devotion for his kindred and friends, he returns to his na tive heath, to pay tribute to the dead brother who die! while he was detained at Raleigh, and to mingle with the living loved ones of his old home. He can rest as sured that he will carry with him through life the respect and ad miration of all good men who hon or a man for w hat he is, and not for what his enemies say or do May he li .'e long in the enjoyment of the love, respect and admiration of his fellow citizens.

Oue day his father brought home a little bank to keep his savings in, "Now, Willie, he said, "we'll start a bank," "I choose to be cashier, inter rupted the boy. Very -well, you can be the cash ier and I will be the board of di rectors. Then you and your, sis ters and your mother and I will be the depositors. Now, I will put these five pennies in to start with. What will you do!" "I'll put in my seven pennies," he responded. His mother dropped in a couple of dimes and each of his sisters a penny. During the next two weeks numerois deposits were made and all ran smoothly. Then one morning paterfamilias found himself short of change and ab stracted a quarter from the bank. But the eagle eye of the young cashier detected the shortage, and Le promptly t ok. what was left. The next morning the young fi nancier's father, wishing to instill a little more business knowledge into his head, said: "Now, Willie, suppose one of the depositors wished to draw out some money, what would you do?" The boy simply pointed to the bank, on which was the following placard: "Suspended Payment." "Why, Willie, what does this mean?" inquired his father. "Directors overdrew their ac counts, so the cashier went off with the rest," was the laconic re sponse. "You don't mean that you have taken the money that was in there, d) you!" in a tone of pained sur prise. "Yes." . ' "But don't you know that this is not honest?" "The directors beg?n tampering with the finances." "My boy." said the father ad mirinffly, "some day you wdll be a great financier, but first you have a few things to learn. Never wait for the depositors to prosecute. Now. come with me to the nur sery and bring a strap with you." "Father!" replied the youth, persuasively, "cau't we compro mise this matter in some way! It you won't prosecute Fll see that this bank resumes payment and won't say anything about the di rectors drawing out money on the sly." ; And so they arranged it."
