MA J. GUTHRIE ON COUNTY : GOVERNMENT. Maj.W. A. Gurthrie, of . Durham, writes the News and Observer a letter touching the county government quest Ion which is at least interesting. He calls, attention to a decision of the Su preme court last September, the opin ion being given by Chief Justice air- cloth, all the Associate Justices con curring, which makes it possible, he says, for a whites man's government in the different counties by virtue or legislative enactment. The decision he referred to was Har ris vs Wright in 121 N. C. Report 172. It related to the municipal government of Wilmington, and was based on Art icle VII of the Constitution.

We quote the remainder of his ar ticle as follows : Then, whv should not the white eounties of North Carolina send enough patriotic representatives to the next A til . niliA mill rtllt fTlO duty was never more plain or the neces- interests of the State above all sity of walking in ii more imperaimj mere partisan considerations and tbem- lt more than at this moment.

Last week The Commonwealth printed from the Washington Post a strong editorial relative to the negro as ruler, nd offered some comments. The Wilmington Star cummented on the same article and among other - things said : The fact is that there is nearly always a disposition shown by a negro charg ed witn violation of the law to resist arrest, if he cannot escape, and there is a pretty universal feeling among his race that the negro who is arrest ed is a victim of persecution by white officers who arrest' him, unless the crime with which he is charged hap pens to be against one of his own race, ture. and something in which Case they are not only willing fXe done to set at rest irom but anxious to see him arrested and punished. This is the result oi several causes ; first, bis race feeling, for the feeling of the negro towards the white man isn't a whit more cordial than the feeling of the white man towards the negro ; second, association, for much of the conversation amongst them when they congregate is about the grievances and Imagined proscription of their race ; third, their ignorance which does not understand the conditions that con front them, and prevents them - from recognizing the fact that this is a white man's country ; fourth, the insid ious teachings of white and black po litical demagogues who pose as their champions and friends for the purpose of deceiving, leading and using them. Unfortunately for them most of them listen to these demagogues much more willingly"and trust tbem more implic itly than they would listen to or trust men of their own race like Booker T. Washington, and others who have given them so much good advice by which the majority of them have . profited so little. Whatever hope there is for the ne gro as a race lies in the guidance of the right Kind of white men, and of colored men who have white ideas, but when he undertakes to assert himself, to reject the guidance of and attempts ta rule the white man he . puts brakes on" his own progress, makes the chasm ' between the races wider and furnishes additional reasons why the color line, or race law; should be drawn still tighter, and emphasizes the fact that this is a white man's country. . - The Commonwealth acknowledges the receipt of the Democratic Hand Book for 1898. It was prepared chief ly by Mess. S. A. Ashe and T. J. Jar- - vis. The work is well done and-the - book will be a" most valuable help to speakers and writers in the present campaign. : question to this extent at least State politics, and while laying a legis lative restraining hand upon the col ored citizen for his own good, thereby protect the material " interests of all races in these exceptional ... localities, without at the same time doing any violence whatever to the rights of the citizens in the white counties to elect their own county and township officers as is now being done, and to manage and control without restraint their own local municipal affairs? The decision of the court in Harris vs. Wright blazes out the road for our lawmakers to travel, if tbey see fit to do it, and clears away all legal doubts as to theconstitu tionality ol laws such as I have sug gested. to relieve the vexatious situa tion. Let the people next November elect an honest and patriotic legisla- ori this line will the negro ques tion in the local politics of our eastern counties, and give those counties de cent local government so long as the white people in the rest of the State desire it to remain so. Can any man who really loves our State wish to see anything else but good government in each and every county of the State? What affects one county in some way. to a greater or less extent, must o necessity affect every other county, lak ing the State as a whole, and in, this matter of good local municipal govern ment every voter in the State . js con cerned, or ought to be. Wilmimtton Messenger. ' - The white people of North Carolina have shown ever since the negro slaves were freed by war waged by the north for that purpose unwisely, that tbey had kind feelings for them. To prove this they bore with their extreme follies when so unwisely clothed witn tne power of the elective franchise, and gave them work and sympathy and often help. Stripped of their basis of credit, tens of thousands of prosperous and comparati vely well-to-do men re duced to poverty or bankruptcy, wun debts hancine over them and farms for ... , hiili.. 1 t.h most, rmrt witnout POSSiDimy oi cultivationthe true white men of North Carolina united in agreeing to be taxed to help to educate in the three Tt's the neero children bi their former and recent slaves, an act of generosity and friendship without a soiltary paral lel in the records of all history. JNever before did a vanquished and heroic people, after a long, exhausting war when 41.UUU ot tbeir brave men nau perished as the War Records of the TTnitjd States eovernmcnt show, take upon themselves such a great voluntary hnrrlfin. Un to the pressnt the white people (mostly democrats) . have ex pended of their own earning3 and ac cumulations, millions of dollars to give schooling to the children ot negro voters wbo;invariably and with a very rare exception, unitedly voted with the enemies of their benofactors and inenas and snncht bv vicious legislation to heap injuries and oppressions upon them. This is no fancv picture, but stern unbending reality. The negro race in Worth Carolina in no particular have ever shown that they had the slightest appreciation of the favors so constantly bestowed and with such a free, un stinted hand. The negroes who work ed in towns and oft farms voted on every opportunity against the men wbo employed tbem, ana navo uni-, formly acted as it tbey regarded wun dislike if not hostility the men from whose hands thev received their bread. This is true andihe election returns in the state for thirty years will establish this. The whitfi men the true men of their own noble race are not hostile ro the negroes. If they had been the nrrnA9 woutd lone ago have been forced to move out to get employment The true white men have never wished nnv harm for a moment to tne negroes They have pitied and wondered. -They have borne with them witn exceeding forbearance when very greatly tried Tliev have not sought to abridge them in their lawful rights, or to Keep mom from enjoying life, liberty and the pur suit, of hanniness. They have wished them prosperity and a hearty ioa speed. .. . . I A Knt. this beine true, tney nave noi been in favor of negro government for white men with white hearts and white souls. Thev have never been satisfied with the success of the betrayers of the white race who for the lowest personal , Bifi-u nir, hy n .AUigentlv sought to DUt the black men in bfficnina"over the whites. There is not a decent honorable, upright, worthy white man in all North Carolina who is so fallen in his manhood as to be willing to be overruled and mastered by the negro race. It makes all his manliness ol character and love, of liberty and self- respect rise up in indignant opposition at the very thought. If anything kindles the war spirit within him it is for the helots, ignorant and debased, to be placed in authority by the villainous and detestable connivance of low-down white ingrates who are at bottom no better than the black tools they use for the degradation of their own race ot which they are so utterly unworthy Jt is the game of mean whites to make the negroes rulers over white men born fres as Paul said to the Ro man and with all of the heroic quali ties that signalize and uplift the great nations of the original Aryan stock. This putting Sambo and San lev and Pompey in office is just what the white men will not have, will not long sub mit to. This is plain talk and it is true talk. North Carolina will soon or late be disenthralled and negro boss ism and negro rule will be a thing of the past. But while this is the deter mination of the white race m this State, they do not wish any harm or evil to befall the negroes, especially the well behaved and industrious. VARIOUS STATE ITEMS.
