AS TO RKtiltT RATION Tlie developments in connection with the registration for this special elec tion held yesterday emphasizes the im portance of a strict, intelligent, and just execution of the Jaw upon that subject. . The present law . governing elections is absolutely fair in letter and spirit, and a strict observance thereof, both in the registration of voters, con ducting the" election and counting the ballots will insure results which can not be complained of by any citizen. As to registration the law is plain, simple, easily understood and enforced. When the registrar does his duty ac cording to the letter and spirit of the law it will -be next -to an impossibility for an Ineligible person to get on the books. That such may occur is a pos sibility, but not a probability. Hence we stated in Sunday's issue that the ad mission of a person's- name to the books by a registrar ought to be prima facie evidence of the right of such per son to vote, and if challenged substan tial grounds therefor should be requir ed of the challenger. TVe know well enough that under conditions existing a few years ago this course could not have been followed safely, as was dem onstrated abundantly in the elections of 1S94 and 1896; but conditions have changed radically since then, and laws, prescribing the powers as well as du ties of registrars now are as radically different from those then enforced. - The qualifications now required to entitle one to register and vote are as simple as they are explicit. There can be no mistake made by a person of ordinary intelligence. They should be enforced fairly, intelligently, justly, sensibly, if so, the registration book, while it may not have the names of all who are entitled to be thereon, will rarely have the name of one that ought rot to be there. And' thus the election, and its result, whatever the occasion. must be satisfactory so far as the ma chinery employed is concerned. ; We have no idea that any wrong! In a single instance, was contemplated in the registration for the election just held. But from general report there were errors which, if made when the contest was vigorous and hotly fought very serious difficulties might arise. The people demand fair elections, honestly conducted, and to this end thano name be allowed on the regis tration book that the law proscribes. Both the registration books and the ballot boxes must be clean and above suspicion hereafter. WORK FOB TUB UiniGRANTS Our exchanges from the Atlantic: sea', board cities, noting the great flood of immigrants now daily pcurins: into our ports, are zealously pointing out to them present Jobs which offer good pay. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph enthusiastically directs attention to the n farm labor to save the present crops in Kansas and the North western States, declaring: , "The erreatest crops that any country in the world ever gathered are to be taken from the land within the next few months, and all the help that can be given will be well rewaraea. y From every section of the South, too, comes the cry of shortage of labor, but these foreigners cannot tumble into a cotton or a tobacco field and do good work at first blush. If these people would seek the farms of the West and settle, thair coming might not be so threatening. But will they go? Or, if they accept present temporary positions, how long , will It be before they are back in the cities? Under the alluring and . very com posing title "The Psychology of the Mob" the. esteemed Philadelphia In quirer thus accounts, and in a manner we may say apologizes, for the recent development of the mob spirit in Del aware and presumably other . Northern States. Says the Inquirer: "It is stated that included in the mob whose act of wild, savage and ungovernable fury has brought dis credit upon a neighboring state were men nf pdii cation, intelligence and eood character, occupying a respecta ble position in the community of which they were members, and much surprise is expressed at their participation in the shocking scene which was enacted The surprise is natural, but it is incon siderate. It proceeds from an imper fect apprehension of what may be call ed the mob. mania. Modern writers upon psychology have made a study of this subject and have reached some conclusions with regard to it which are both reasonable and interesting. They find that when a crowd is as sembled with a specific , object, espe cially if the object Is emotional in its appeal, a peculiar passion is gener ated, which is not only so excessively contagious that to escape from its in fluence is practically impossible, but which tends to operate with such vio lence as to suppress alike the individu al judgment and the individual volition, and to substitute for the unit the ten- perament of the mass. Thus a crowd becomes something more than a col lection of, individuals. It becomes a distinct and separate entity, animated by a feeling in which the feeling of each of its members Is immeasurably intensified, and capable of deeds from which the persons who compose it, when relieved from the constraining pressure of the association in which they are temporarily placed, would shrink with horror." In the first place the Northern mob included "many men of education, in telligence and good character," and their excuse, or the excuse - made for them, is, finding themselves a part of a mob they became at once, and irre sistably, subject to a "peculiar pas sion," which converted the collection of individuals into a single unit of violence and passion. If many more such mobs break loose in the North, with such results and for such offense as that which occurred n Delaware, our friends of that section will discover a justification somewhere not heretofore invoked or granted when such deeds "have occurred in the South. But let the passion thus aroused by such crime as the Delaware wretch was guilty of be "peculiar" or not, it will be found to exist in the locality of every such deed, let it be North. fcouth. East or West. And let no one think it is a "relapse into barbarism," but rather the uncontrolable condem nation of the crime which arouses the 'peculiar passion." Stop the crime and he passion will not show itself. The result of the election yesterday has not changed the status of Raleigh one inch; has not thrown it out of gear the slightest, nor put a pebble in .the pathway of its progress or future de velopment or thrown, a shadow upon its advantages or attractions for enter prise or the investment of capital. It is just as big as - it was before, ' our neighbors over the line are just as near and dear to' us as before, as immedi ately concerned in the welfare of the city and will continue to spend all they make in or outside the corporate limits just as they have done heretofore. Any one preferring to leave the many too many beautiful sites within the limits to locate and build on any of the beau- JUST ONE that word ls It refers to Dr. Tutt;s Liver pais an(t lviiEA63S HEALTH.

Ms Hi tlful lots outside can buy as cheaply now as before, and will. fcaVe no diffi culty in getting the property when he is ready to buy. However, we must insist that there are very "many very handsome lots in the city which could be Improved to good advantage ; both of the lots and the city, and, with the extension of street improvement, these will be more readily Improved than those more remote from the center un less very extensive street and other im provements are made. V We are still here, all of us, ready for business at the same stand. Any one who may be misled by much that was thoughtlessly, said in the recent cam paign, reflecting upon Raleigh's vitality and vigor and determination to go for ward surely if not so rapidly as some others, will realize - before he is much older the mistake that has been made Raleigh is growing substantially and is today the -most inviting residence city in the State arid in time will be up with', the others in- industrial enter prises. . The country up to a few months ago was seriously threatened with dropsy. due to too great an accumulation of water in its financial system. That re lief has come and the danger averted we may now f eeU reasonably sure. - The Montgomery Advertiser tells us: "Within the past six months there has-been a slump in the price of se curities dealt in on the Stock Kx changes, amounting to over $600,000,000. That is a vast sum of money and rep-j resents in part over-capitalization. Many of these stocks represent capi talization at three and four times of value and the demand for money has been the cause of the water bein soueezed out of many of them. This is a great and prosperous ' country, but one great evil is the investing of so much money in fictitious and specu lative stocks. The people, are made to suffer in the long run because the ef fort is made in many instances to earn dividends on water." Our cotemporary - is right as to the serious evil of such fictitious capital and its injustice to the public in sub jecting it to the burden of having to sustain it. The Post has pointed out these dangers for years, since the method first developed. The de crease in values above mentioned has not hurt the legitimate business condi tion of the country. The" ' country Is enormously prosperous today, but the sound sense of the people has jfevolted at such burdens as speculators and gamblers in stocks have attempted to fasten upon them. . With respect to the statement made by pur Asheville corespondent in the issue of Sunday morning that distillers contemplated taking out federal license to carry on business in this State, we wish to say that every person so de siring can obtain such license from the Internal Revenue Department, without trouble, only necessary to filea bond and pay such tax as the federal law requires, to carry on business at any point or locality in the State. The Col lectors will grant the license, to "do business" anywhere in the State, be cause the federal law authorizes themJ to do so. But, "stop right thar," as our late friend Judge Cloud was wont to say, and don't rush right off to the dollec- tor's office after reading the above un til you shall have read this small par agraph also. The man who thus takes out license and files bond and attempts jto run a distillery anywhere in North Carolina in violation of the "Watts raw will land in jail as sure as a gun. State laws control this liquor business abso lutely. The federal government will issue li cense to every person fool enough to pay for it; the State, however, pre scribes where such business shall and shall not be conducted. The Collec tors will collect the money offered but cannot guarantee that the thing will work. . , : The Supreme Court of the United States has decided this matter too of ten for further discussion. An exchange says: "Although strong efforts have been reade to commit the Legislature of va rious States to the support of the pro position for the populor election of Senators, no State of first importance has yet declared for it." The North Carolina Senate, at its late t session, very promptly tabled a resolution looking to the end suggested which had been kindly prepared and sent to the Legislature by the young man Hearst who edits a yellow paper in New Tork city. And very properly of course. Our Northern people are learning some things rapidly nowadays. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph says: "Reports are just at hand of the lynching of one negro In Mississippi and of three in Georgia, but thb dispo sition in this latitude to comment harshly on these occurrences is not so strong as it was a short time ago." Mr. "Jim j,Tillmans lawyer argrued when applying for archangxof venue for the slayer of Gonzales, that the press, the pulpit and the business peo- pie of Columbia were violently preju diced against the defendant. A man whose residence in a community can excite a combination of prejudice like that should obtain a change of venue before he begins ' to murdier hla neigh bors, Is the opinion of the Newport News Press, with which we concur. The Baltimore American has gotten either its feuds or its geography badly mixed. It reports: ! "Raleigh, N. C, has had a fatal feud battle. It appears that the bacillus of feud thrives fh the fastnesses of the Appalachian Mountain system." , We have no feud in our midst that we are aware of, nor has Raleigh fallen Into an Appalachian fastness that we Ijave heard, of. Our friends "on the outside" must not take the vote yesterday as an indica tion that we do not love them and are not still willing for them to b of us close neighbors at least. Hit Lail Hepe Reajlzd (From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.) In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekersafter for tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping: on his claim, he encountered 'much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was .rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound slep for a fortnight. , That one bottle worked a complete cure, and he can not help but feel grateful.

The July Criterion The July Criterion is always one of the most attractive of summer period icals and the "fiction number" with the seasonable cover design in colors, by John Cecil Clay, and handsome illus trations, offers an unusually pleasant opportunity to magazine lovers to avail themselves of some thoroughly whole some, high class short stories. In ad dition to the two timely and valuable special articles Great Engineering Feats of New York, by Albert E. Thom as an Illustrated account of some -mar velous achievements with the elements in the metropolis ; and Joel Benton's sympathetic memories of personal friendship with the late poet, Richard Henry Stoddard; there is a wide range of fiction humorous or serious, tragic or comic to choose from. Among the best of the stories are John TJri Lloyd's delightfully humorous satire, The Ped igree of Sam Hill's Wafted Wife, Ze- ast; The Love Affairs of a Beggar Artist of Japan, by Adachi Kinnosuke; The Rescue of Lunette, by Katharine H. Brown ; Between the Goals, by Al fred Stoddard; the Punishment and the Crime, by Elizabeth Marvin, and On the Edge of , Samar, by Henry L. Mencken. The number also contains many admirable poems by well known writers, and the customary crisp, read able, independent reviews important current publications.

Sill. Brraa's Stnkboraasss (Norfolk Virginian Pilot) Mr. Bryan has so far persistently, al most stubbornly, refused to see or yield to a drift of sentiment in the' Demo cratic party that was easily visible and plainly irresistible. - That drift is in favor of a new platform and a new man in 1904. Nor Mr. Bryan nor any other man can check' the movement any more than Mr. Hill and the late Mr. Russell could chack the movement for bimetallism in 1896. The recent Iowa convention, however, should have brought home, even to Mr. Bryan, the fact, so palpable to others, that the Democracy in 1904 will affirm, not reaffirm. The Iowa convention, re fused to reaffirm the Kansas City plat form and framed a platform of its own upon the Issues now paramount and relevant. And the Iowa Democracy has been as staunch in support of the ticket and platform in the- last two campaigns as the Democracy of any State in the.. Union. ' It is a Western State, an agf icultural State, a State close to Mr. Bryan. But it has cut loose from Issues that, however right eous, are now not relevant, and ha? turned to issues that are pressing and insistent. What the Democracy of ' Iowa has done, the Democracy of other States will likely do, and the national conven tion will itself do, we judge, when it meets about a year hence.
