CLOWN LAW AND PARTI-COLOR?
ED MONEY.
The Richmond Times, usually placid
and mild as a May zctdiyr, seems lo
have been infected by some of the wild
Influence of the hurricane In rending
our Jocular remarks on Its proposition
for State Bank-notes, each lo I.f n
different color; that Is forty-six Slates
arc each to bo provided with n differ?
ent COlor Ollt Of S<V, 11 CidelS. Tlii.
good-natured reminder of the great dis?
crepancy between the number of States
and the number of colors suggests to
our contemporary the aficr-th lughl i
combining the colors so ns to reach
around; but there was no hint of IIiis
combination in thn original proposiitii n
of the Times, though the Virginian
Pilot did suggest thai the dimculty
might be got over by combining tho
colors, or a resort to shades of c ilor.
But the Virginian-Pilot would like lo
see the act of Congress, Illustrated, de?
fining how he bank-notes of every
State shall be colored; and we would
like to hear the debates on the varie?
gated currency, with its forty-six dif?
ferent harmonies or discords. It would
be a currency highly conducive lo in <>
moting the love of money among tie
young; but why ile re should be any
difference of color at all bei ween them,
we fall to "catch on," If, as the Times
proposes, it is to be a criminal offence
to,'pass the notes of any Slate in an?
other State-.
But we protest against the height of
the storm that rages in the breast of
our contemporary when we dan' to
question Us Jurisprudent ial Infallibility
in proposing to exclude the money, or
bank-notes, of a State from every olhei
State. Nor do wo protest the less when
the Times, riding a high horse, Haunts
in our face the net or Congress im?
posing a ten pcr-ccnt. tax on the issues
of Stute? banks, with Chief Justice
Chase's decision thereon. When did the
Times become the advocate of that tax
as constitutional, notwithstanding Hie
Supreme Court has so held it? When
did it become convi Hod to such whoh ?
sale Invasions of tho immemorial and
reserved rights of the Slates and Un?
people?for both are Involved in the
proposition to make it n felony lo pass
or attempt to pass tho bank Issues of
one State in another? wie re is there
any express or implied grant of stich
power to Congress? Where are the re?
served rights of States and i.pic ns
to banks and currency nbollshed, or
surrendered? Wo know of nothing that
can warrant any Intrusion like ibis on
all our reserved rights, though the
Times seems to think that the tax on
the Issues of Slat- banks (nil of then.
In common), with Chief Jusli e Chase's
opinion theteon, strips th State of it
banking and currency rights and in?
vests Congress with such extraordinary
powers that it can make II n fi ; ny to
pass thn notes of tho Ranks of Vir?
ginia in the State of North Carolina.
The Virginian-Pilot does not believe
a word of It, nor do we sec nny i n
nection with tho ten per pi nt. inx on I
State bank issues, and Ihis denial of n '
privilege guaranteed to nil the States
In the provision that "THE CITIZENS
OF EACH STATE SHALL BE EN?
TITLED TO ALL PRIVILEGES AND
IMMUNITIES OP CITIZENS IN THE
SEVERAL STATES.
The Vlrglnlan-Piloi maintains that
the right of tiie banks and citizens of
Virginia or the Slu:.- of Vlrglnla.to pass
or circulate her valid bank-notes In
North Carolina, is amonc the "privl
leges and immunities "thus assured us.
and, ns tho Times takes so high a tone
about it. we beg to say thai ii has very
little Judgment or Information, if it be?
lieves its proposal constitutional, or
that Congress could be so foolish as to
enact a law that, together with the
variegated and pnrtl-currency, would]
make us justly the laurrhin? stock of
the world.
ISven if Congress lias the right or
power to forbid State banks altogether,
or t ? tax ihelr Issue.- !?> Hie point of
extinction (which wc do not at nil be?
lieve). .1 is a very different tiling to
authorize or permit them, and then
direct that it shall bo felony for one
Stale lo circulate its hank-noes in nn
other. or lo prescribe that the notes
shall bo made ridiculous by a system of
barbe-nolc colors, or the colors <>f the
fo >l with whom formerly "lo rol
s'timuse."
THE HONEST VOTE FOR AN
HONEST NOMINEE.
Are men responsible f.?r the false-j
hood, fraud, temptntlon. vice, crime.!
infection, contagion, malaria, war. pes?
tilence and famine to which they and i
others are exposed, and to which so
many fall victims? it depends. It Is
randy, however, that the averagi In?
telligent citizen Ih not In some degree
guilty of the evil thai befalls him, and
also of the cal unity that a fillets or des?
olates his city, community, >>r State.
We are always voting In th;s free coun?
try, oh everything, and it is upon our
majority, if the poll be honest, whether
this or that shall be; u'hether we have
health, or disease; virtue, peace, pros?
perity and order, or vice, wrath, want
and tumult; and So on in ail matters
of general t m rn, whether they be
political, or not.
.\b ii may be robbed of their votes In
any matter of public opinion, just as
a ring ei i lh|iifl may rob them on Is
sties nf men ami measures between par?
ties; er they may be misinformed, mis?
led, dupcti, fooled, lied to; ami then
ari.-es ihe question of apportioning the
guilt between victims ami victimized.
<>f Hie guilt .d' the latter, there is no
doubt; but how far Is the victim culpa?
ble for allowing himself to be victim?
ized. Her,- are two men, competitors;
one a quack, and all that that Implies;
the oth. r an educated physician and a
gentleman. If you Vote for the quack,
you and your family and the commu?
nity suffer severely; but he gets riches,
and perhaps honors, while the real phy?
sician and gentleman may starve In
obscurity, under the r< pronch of hav?
ing been defeat, d in a fair competition.
Veil and others never consider that ,01
these and other questions you must
vole and do vote, unless by your own
carelessness, or Indifference, or inex?
cusable ignorance, you are voted by
sonic ether person, or vote for the
wrong person, or thing.
The decision in such cases Is called
public opinion, or popular favor, or
common consent, &c?; but every?
one; for or against it. neglects his
duty and wastes his power and in?
fluence', If he do not seriously consider
the matter and try to be on the sole of
truth, right and justice. If every cli
iZ' 11 docs his duty conscientiously, not
only at the regular polls, but in all
these side issues, there irs rt? danger of
ill government by i>.ui men or evil
measures. Every good citizen must do
his honest duty, at nil events, in every
ease; ami if he do, it will not often hap?
pen that he will be in a minority,
whether In helping along a trust?
worthy dispenser of milk or in chasing
a United States Senator. Men natural?
ly prefer the hone.-: man to the other
fellow; or if they do not, it is under
motives and Influences that ihey will
be ashamed to avow.
Why voluntarily accept this shame
and do wrong? Is it because you go
with t!ie multitude to do evil? Aside
from considerations of conscience, hon?
esty and honor, which should hive
much weight with rational then, there
is ihe betrayal of trust, the treason to
liberty, the violation of your own in?
terests and rights its one possessing
self-government in common with equal
fcilowrcltizchs. Then arises the cry
against mlsgbvcrnmcnt; the charge "f
maladministration from President to
constable, or justice of the pence; the
stealing of public money; public fran?
chises bought and sold; and general v. -
nality in ofllcC. Hut why not accept
what you vote for? if you want better
government, vote honestly for honest
men.
MACHINE RULE AN ENGINT.
OF RUIN.
Tb,. Ilniclgii News .anil Observer,
conspicuous for the ability with which
it advocates the undying principles "t
Jefferson Democracy, is, us its name in
part indicates, an observer of men
and ev, tits. In a recent editorial on
the senatorial contest in this State,
under Hie caption of this article, it re?
cites the circumstances attending the
election of Mr. Thomas S. .Martin ;,,
the United States Senate, and quotes
lie- portion of Governor Tyler's Wytft
vllle speech in which he rebuked those
party olliclnls who undertake to dom?
inate parly politics, and says:
"The party in North Carolina 111
times before the 1804 deluge suffered
\>i ausc in some counties the party ?fII
Clnls used their power as "fit engine
of ruin and destruction" by using It
"to further the interest of one mem?
ber of the parly Its against another."
When 11 party official Is so deeply In?
terested in ib.- success of any candi?
date that he uses Hi" party machinery
to advance bis Interest, ho "ought,"
ns Governor Tyler says, "to be turned
out." If be remains in charge his con?
duct works Injury to the party.
"Without taking any put in the
Senatorial contest, we trust tiie Demo?
cracy of Virginia will turn out any
machine IliM Reeks In nny county to
hver-rlde the will of the people, or
that denies a. fair opportunity to nil
the voters 10 register their will."
There is wisdom in the News and
Observer's comments. The machine is
Gormanizlng Virginia, with alarming
rapidity and working ruin to the Dem
ocratic party. The Democracy of this
State will suffer Uio fntc meted to It in
Maryland l? it continues to permit it?
self to be dominated by machine men
and methods. "Machine rule is uu
engine of ruin."'_
ADULTERATION OF FOOD.
The adulteration of food, according
t.. testimony submitted to the Sena?
torial Investigating committee in Chl
cngo, Is carried mi to an alarming ox
lent, particularly in this country, mid
the Virglnlnn-Pilot notes with pleas?
ure that Ihe subject Is attracting wide?
spread attention. Recently the grand
jury in I'hiladi Iphla made the follow?
ing special presentment to the court:
"The adulteration is a matter <.r
such vital Importance u> every member
of the community that Ihe strongest
measures should be taken to prevent
and punish the crime. We are ini
prcssed with a belief that, while close
Investigation should i>e mad.- among
the retail dealers, the wholesaler and
manufnctiin r should not be allowed to
escape in the ? lese examination made."
The assurance is glvi n that the re?
port of the grand jury w ill l>o followed
up i?y vigorous and practical measures,
and determined effort mole to bring
the guilty persons to jtistae. To put
it mildly, they are murderers, no more
and no less. If reports are true, and
there is no room for doubt, hundreds of
children have been slaughtered In the
Quaker City, Chattanooga, Chicago
and other cities by milk, with h is adul?
terated to keep it from turning sour.
Tho investigation In Chicago revealed
that milk and baking powders were
treated with boraric acid, borarlc full
and sylicillc acid, and, as sold, were
pernicious adulterations, a menace to
health and liable to hill.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
tine of the most beneficial organiza?
tions to mankind in general is a li?
brary. Not a io. k. .1 and barred place
where books are kept and may be
seen, bul a place where the humblest
citizens may g oand set at the feet of
the great writers and authors; where
the workman in his uniform of blue
canvass may i.st himself after a bard
days work and at the same time im?
prove his Idle moments by education,
j It has long been a cherished idea In
Ibis city that a large public library
should be thrown open to the public,
where one may road In ease and com?
fort; or from which books of Hie day
and classics may be borrowed.
There Is a very good library already
in the city and the good it does, with
its limited moans, but evidences what
may be wrought with a few dollars.
This enterprise, like . very other of a
public nature, needs strong bands and
shoulders behind It, aided by enterprise
a r.d push.
Let some one with the time and pub
lie spirit take up the public library
question, buy a nice convenient site
and build an edifice thai will be a
credit lo ihe city. Wo may have no
As tor and m> Pratt, but we have what
is equivalent to it, many willing citi?
zens. We must help ourselves before
expecting outside aid, There never was
a better time than the present for a
I Somebody ought to find Aguinaldo.
I He may be lost.
j Somebody wanted lo know why M:
Martin does not speak. That's easy. It
in because lie has nothing to say.
Mr. Martin's silence In regard to his
Senatorial record is so ominous that it
can almost be heard.
OPINIONS OF IHK PRESS.
tii i: M:\ vniui.tt. itAcr.
(Accomack Now.-- )
* * ?* It has been intimated that
Martin would moot Tyler in Joint dis?
cussion. The Governor has express, i
In perfect willingness lo meet Mr. Mar
1 tin ami discuss with him the Impor?
tant issues of this campaign, but It is
thought very improbable that any sUch
arrangement will bo effected. Martin
is afraid to meet Jones and Tyler oh
the stump, ami before the campaign is
over he will be sorry that he mot it
, great many of. Tyler's Stumpers.
(The Ronnoke Times.)
Tiie friends of Senator .Martin being
im abb to prove the fallacy of the pub?
lished statement made by Mr. Jones,
have practically admitted Ihcni to be
true by turning around and hiring Mr.
Jones' record In Congress. What that
can have to do with charges made
against Martin we fail to see. Jones
may have a record as black as the ace
of -pad. a and he may have done abso?
lutely nothing for bis constituency. We
are ii ?! in liie Martin-Tyler campaign
called upon p. look Into that. Jones Is
not running for olllco, and his own per?
sonal record . an have no benring what?
ever upon Martin's Illness or unflt
noss for re-election. The above is sug
gesti i b> an editorial in ihe Chnr
lollcsville Progress, which begins in
this fashion: "Congressman Jones
could only Und one point to seriously
t'rll - In Mr. Martin's course in the
Senate. This was his failure to vote
six times ..nt of sixteen votes on the
war revenue measure. Mr. Martin rc
pl . il showing (hat he was paired when
he omitted to vote, and his vote was.
in tins way fully protected." Then
thi Progress indulges in an exposure
of Mr. Jones' own record, as if that
can in nny way offset the record made
by Mr. Martin. The Progress for some
reason falls to refer 16 the statements
made In tie- Richmond Dispatch by Mr.
Jones a f.w days after Mr. Martin's
ropl> to Ills ten,inks uttered in his
s|. Il III Halifax httd been published.
in ibis Mr. Jones invokes the aid of
th. Congressional Record, and with i:
shows that Martin's "pair" voted sev?
eral time's tho same way that Martin
voted, besides which Mr. Jones makes
other Interesting statements to which
Mr. Martin has as yet found no reply.
The question, as said before, has nar?
rowed ?low n? to one of veracity be?
tween Martin and Jones ivlth the nd
Vlintage in the shape of the Congres?
sional Record in favor ..f the latter. Mr.
Jones has ii.ado no claims for himsel;
for his own record. The departure
from lllo subject nt band into digres?
sions of ihal kind cannot but convince
the onlooker that thunder Is getting
scare- and ihe ground unsafe.
