THUK&DaY, DECEIT Bi,H II, FOUR YEARS TERM FOR CO V ORESSMEX. Several yars ago ihis paper declared in fayor of electing Congressmen for our years term. Time and again , gve our reasons for it, and we hold the same reasons still. On last Thursday Senator Karris in troduced a joint fesoluticn providing for the limitation of the time a Presi dent shall be elected to one term of six years and making the term ol members of the House four years. As to the single six years term for President we haye nothing to say here, but we again declare for the four years term for Congressmen. Tera are many good arguments in favor of the change. Indeed, it is hard to find any reasonable argument against it. . Aa has been pointed out time and again in these columns, it is really an injustice to a Representative to restrict his term to two years, for the time is too short in which to test his capacity aa a representative of the people. A member entering Congress unaccus tomed to the work of the body, find. himself unknown, without influence ,ip a national legislator; and no matter how intelligent, how well informed on matters pertaining to the interests o; his constituency, what his powers and capacity, he must necessarily spend quite a considerable portion of his first year or two familiarizing himself with his duties and working himself into influence among his colleagues. This alone would be sufficient argument against the two years term. Then, inasmuch as most Cons i men are willing to serve their peop.e a second term, they emphasize such willingness by due care for the inter ests of the ensuing campaign ; and this more or less distracts their minds from the positive and undivided attention to their duties as a representative of the people. And apart ircin all tLese things there is much to be said against the frequency of elections. We know that some say frequent elections are a means of getting a direct expression of the people, and that this is necessary in order to keep representatives in touch with the peo ple ; that frequently the issues change oftener than once in four years, and so a different representative might te needed to serve the people's will. But there is not argument enough in all this to outweigh the objections: to two years terms. If all other elections should be held once in four years along with the election for Congressmen, the country would be rid of half the dis turbance, excitement and bad blood which our oft-recurring elections stir op. The Commonwealth hopes that that part ol Senator Harris' resolution which refers to the four yenrs term for mem bers of the House will prevail, and the necessary legislation will, follow to re liere us of the disadvantages of the two years terms. It is not a conclusion with us reach ed in a moment or a day ; but on the contrary, it has been a subject of ma ture deliberation for a number of years. And we hope to see a full and free ex pression by the press of the country on the subject. The columns of The Com monwealth are always open to the in telligent discussion of questions of pub lio interests, and we shall be glad to tiave all phases of this question dis cussed. Let us hear from our readers on this subject. These columns are open. There is more Catarrh m this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For. a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronoenced it incurable. Sci ence has proven catarrh to be a con stitutional disease, and, therefore, re quires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It M taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts iiirec tlyon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Bend for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J.

Seccitly we heard eome vary level headed Democrats remarking on the wisdom of getting to work at once in tua interest of the amendment ; and tney trntb'nHy observed that the op p - !rn to it are p.iady sending out their secret circulars ; and, therefore, the Democrats need to cocmeace at oure to educate the people on the great question which they will be called upon to decide next August. Com id en tin 2 on the meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee in Raleigh Monday nicht, Tuesday's Moiniug Po3t pe-rtmcntly remarked : "The presence of gentlemen from Swain county, irvlhe extreme west, to the eeacoast, to attend the meeting of the State Democratic Excutive Com mittee last night, is a safe indication of the great interest people feel in the contest upon which we are about to enter. The committee met none too early ; work cannot begin any too soon, or prosecuted with any too great earn estness, energy, system r determina tion. From now uu, let the watch word and slogan be White Supremacy ! Certain and positive, the only guaranO' tee of good government and peaceful socu ty. Pass the word along the line, daily, at every meeting with a fellow sentinel. The future must bo assured against such conditions as have but recently existed, and this amendment is the only promise we haye of such assurance, lo your tents, U Israel ! i-JON. W. W. KIOIIIN ON" THE ROBERTS CASE. Washington, D. C The Roberts case will be investigated publicly. ' It as at first thought advisable to try it m executive session, but the committee has decided that the people ought to have the facts from day to day. Of ecu? the ultimate verdict mu.-t "be ;bat of the vo:ing masses. From a legal standpoint, the subject is a seri ous one. J t is a dangerous rrce lent io establish. Put, it is said, the inves tigation will develop the f:r;t that Roberts has live wives instead of three He now occupies a seat on the floor, with his daughter, who acts as his sec retary. Mr. Kitchin says as regards hi.-, views : 'Mr. ?rnall and -myself lwh vjted ;ainst t'o Tivior resolution, and I suppose we did so fiom the same rea sons. vYe thought it a dangerous and tnip.utnoiizeu preceueiu. of couu-u we despise polygamy i;s much as r.uy one, and our vote is in no wise an approval of it. "The question was, to state it simply, whether we should presume nnd de clare Roberts disqualified by denving him membership before investigation or should re'er the whole matter to the proper committee for investigation of the facts and Jaw before passing judg ment upon him. He was the duly elected representative of the people of the sovereign State oi" Utah, possessing the constitutional qualifications, with duly authenticated credentials. Thus clothed as were all other members, he demanded the right to be sworn as a member. In my judgment, the only rightful power the other representa tives had was -to admit him, and then refer his casa to the proper committee to ascertain the f acts upon which ex pulsion would depend. This was the course demanded by the great majority of the petons against him. This was the coursB demanded by the Rich ardson resolution, for which I voted. With great respect for the gentlemen who took, and honestly and conscien tiously took, a different view of the matter, the denial of membership to him before trial or investigation seemed to me in the nature of mob violence, which under clamor often leads good men to do tbat which m cooler mo ments they regret. ''The fact thafwe are against polyg amy did not justify an unusual and to my mind an unconstitutional method of procedure against him. If such procedure is to be approved, the .time may come when other representatives for other caus?s may be denied admis sion. In a great crisis a majority of one on assembling day may thus stand twenty-five members aside and then having twenty-six majority with ease proceed to unseat them one bv one, and in the meantime have a large working majority for all their purposes, good or bad, just or oppressive. You can easi ly see how representat've government may thus become a farce. A fair trial by a proper body before judgment against individuals cr States should be a principle dear to every just man. On this principle we disapprove of lynch law, and on it are founded all just laws. "No, I am not afraid of being hurt by my vote, though my position may bs at first misunderstood. But the people I represent know me and I think they are very apt to know the facts befoie passing judgment, and I know they expect me to act conscien tiously upon my best judgment, and in accordance with my oath, which I took as a member, upon all questions as I understand them."

Charlottv;, N. C , Dec. 5, '93. Editor The Commonwealth : I see from the various issues of your pa: per, that you are on the right track to improve your io - n and the entire com munity adjacent. I have never yet understood wbv it was that the towns in Eastern North Carolina have stood aside and let thc3o in the Central and Piedmont section push ahead with manufacturing plants of all kinds and sizes, leaving them to rust out with age They have just as many advantages as the others. Purely agriculture and a few stores, will neither make or keep alive a iewn. If must haye manufact ories of some kind. These bring more people, and more people create a de mand for the farmer's products. Scot land Neck, long ago, should have had a cotton mill, cotton seed oil mill and wood working plants. For help and material, it has a large territory to draw from and little competition. There is scarcely a town of five hun dred inhabitants within 150 miles of Charlotte which hasn't its cotton mill and other small industries. Now, note the difference these are forging ahead, while the east is doing nothing more than holding Us own. In some in- stances scarcely that. I note also, that you have time and again written on "sowing wheat" acd establishing a mill. Nothing better could be done. It would make the far mers more independent. It can be done, for there vjfsz thousands of bush els raised on the river during the war and sent to Richmond and Petersburg. I read your paper with a great deal of interest and trust you will yet succeed in opening the eyes of your fellow townsmen and countymen. Very truly, A. L.
