ply the proposed solution, in favor
Of capital, of The cd conflict between
capital and labor. The truth ofthis
statement is proved by the expert
ence of the last twenty-five years
Under high protection during this
period capital has so prospered, and
absorbed to such an extent theearn-
ings of labor, that to-day it holds the
fatal mortagor's grippe upon nearly
half the farm lands Of the country
Meantime the interests of labor have
languished, and its representatives
in almost every department Of in

The Result.

Durham's gala week has ended
The Exposition is now thing OF the
past. Could anything have been
done neater ? Coull We have
achieved a grander success? Hardly.
From the very first day to the clos
ing hours it has been the gFandest
undertaking Durham has ever en-
gagged in and she carried it out with
the fullest measure Of decorum, at
tended by the most beneficial re-
suits.
Every department was unique in
itself. Our business men have ex-
celled all former efforts. Our fair
women have shown the thousafds
of visitors who were in Durham ~
past three days what they can do IL
the way Of painting, handling tht
needle and canning fruits. 0uI
farmers have shown what they can
do in the way Of raising fine tobac.
co with all the odds aud misfortune:
against them. The streets displays
the fireworks, the decorations; al
have tended to impress and cham
the people with Durham's ability t.
do things handsomely. The warm
est words Of praise are coming f'ou
every section. This is the surest eyi
denee of the Exposi'ion's great
success. Others have seen and other
praise it.
Every citizen Of Durham has th,
right to feel proud Of our united ef
forts. Every North Carolinan SHOULD
rejoice with US because it has been
North Carolina enterprise.

Good Work.

Amid the hustle OF our Exposition
we had lost sight of the Newark
(N.J.,) election on Tuesday last
AS the Richmond State says, the
Democratic victory in Newark is
singularly significant. The Demo-
Gratis had no idea of losing New
Jersey, but the splendid work of the
Democrats in New jerseys man
ufacturing centre gives an impetus
to the Jersey Democracy that is
simply tremendous.
The Republicans carried Newark
in 1884 by a majority of over 1000
Day before yesterday the Democrats
carried the city by 525. 1t was the
first Democratic victory in apresi-
Dental campaign in twenty years.
The Republicans had worked with
all their might to poll their>old-
time vote. They regard Newark as
su important battle-ground, and
money was used freely. And es-
peciaIly active were the Republicans
in their efforts to brighten the wage
workers by crying Free trade
They misrspresented the Democratic
party by calling tia free-trade party
They flooded the city with campaign
literature. They appealed to the
passions of men.
But the workingmen of Newark,
noted as they are for their intelli-
gence, refused to be led by the
enemies of labor, and hence the
Democratic victory.
All over the country democrats
are rejoicing with their brethren in
Newark,

The Democratic candidate for

Dunn, is ever vigilant, energetic and

BUYING SCHOOL SITES.
VIEWS OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON
THE MATTER.
They Adopted the Plan That was in
Vogue-They Desire the Right of Con-
domination That They May Acquire Suit
able Pieces of Land.

In response to q verbal request from
Chairman Hemphill to be furnished with
reference to tho laws, if any, which
authorize the condemnation of private
property for sites for public schools and
other municipal buildings. the Commits
sioners have submitted a lengthy report.
They say the only general laws authoriz-
ing the Commissioners TO acquire land
for public purposes are those authorizing
the opening of alloys and laying out,
widening and changing the direction of
highways outside OF the city limits.
The only other general law in force In
the District on this subject is the one
authorizing condemnation of lands for
sites for public buildings. which relates
only to real estate acquired by officers of
the General Government. They say that
the system followed in the purchase of
school buildings and other sites provided
for in the annual appropriation bill is
that found in vogue when the present
| Commissioners came into office and
which they supposed was the way in
which such sites had always been bought.
They find now that in 1881, 'S2 and
So these sites were advertised for, but
this practice was abandoned presumably
because some difficulties were met then,
ns now, in establishing schools in desir-
able localities. The rapid improvement
of the city has left few vacant lots, and
1t is sometimes necessary to induce peo.
pie to abandon homes in order that sufli-
Gent ground may be obtained.
They consider the present method the
| most economical
They say it is obvious that the criti-
cisms evolved by the application of a
system which has been in vogue for al
least six years are due, first, to the EN-.
ployment of an Intermediary without
compensation from the District to select
the sites, and second, to the absence OF
an available appropriation to employ ar
agent and compensate HIM at Legitimate
rates.
They would be relieved If recourse
were had to condemnation proceedings
which could be etfecied by amending the
act of August 1, 1889, to make it apply tC
the District of Columbia.

DISSECTING TO GO ON.
THE MEDICAL COLLEGE NOT RE.
STRAINED IN ITS WORK
Tho Compiainants Can File Another Mo.
tion in Zen Days-Reasons why the
Court Refused TO Grant IN Injunction.

The argument in the Medical College
nuisance case was concluded before Judge
Cox this morning, and tho Court decided
to deny the restraining order, giving the
complaining parties the right to renew
tile application after ten days. This was
for tho purpose of giving time for the
Medical College to show whether the in
stitution can be carried on without an
noyance to the neighborhood.
Judge Cox said that tho testimony in
the case showed that there had been mis-
takes on both sides. 1t was admitted by
the college people that there was at one
time cause of offense to the sense Of
smell, and 1t was probable that there was
also some offense to sight. The com.
plainants, however, were shown to be
wrong in their assertion that offensive
fumes arose from the burning of dead
bodies, and also as to the disagreeable
sound of moving bodies into the place at
night
The only thing that remained was the
complaint that however careful this
branch of education is conducted it is I'M
avoidable that offensive odors will be
dilfused The very agitation OF the sub
ieut would stimulate the imagination
somewhat, but after all there would be a
residuum that cannot be accounted for in
| that way.
The evidence as to the existence Of
these unpleasant odors was weakened
somewhat by the aflidavits for the de
Tense, tending to show that there were no
unpleasant odors inside and that there.
| fore none could be carried out. Still, the
| absence of bad smells inside might be
due to their conveyance from the build
/ ing.
| When the fact was considered that O
| good deal of capital was invested in the
college, and that a very heavy bond, in
Identifying the medical people, would bt
required of the complainants. it would
seem rather hard to suppress the institu
ton without at least giving time to dem
onstrate its innocence.

A SURPLUS IN NAME ONLY.
Money Charged as Cash which is Not ii
the Treasury.

Money Charged rs Cash Which is Not In
the Treasury
Some ancient history of legislation was
brought to the surface to-day by bill
introduced in the House by Congressman
5. V. White of New York, says a special
to the Baltimore american, under the
provisions of which he undertakes to
correct the Treasury books, and dispose
OF II nominal surplus of over 500, 900, 900,
which is being carried from year to year
in every Treasurer report as cash, al
though, says Mr.. White most of it has
not been in the Treasury nor in com
mand of people of the United States for
more than fifty years
In the closing year of President jack
sons administration an act was passed
providing that the surplus in the Treas
ury, over $4,000, 900, should be deposited
with the States, in proportion to their
representation in Congress; and, accord
ingly, there was distributed in 1887 $685.
1Ol ga among the then existing twenty
six States of the Union This money
has never been called for through all the
exigencies of hard times and the War of
the Rebellion, but has been reported as
cash on hand during the entire time. The
bill which Mr.. White has introduced
seeks to make the bookkeeping conform
to the facts, by charging the cash in the
general Treasury with that amount, and
creiiting 1t to the States, from which
there is no intention on the part of any
person ever 10 attempt its recovery.
There is also about 81 $500 carried
on the Treasury books as cash which has
been lost to the Government by the de-
fault, failures Of national banks, the con-
fiscation of minis during the war and
otherwise. These items Mr.. Whites
bill refers to the Attorney-General, with
a request for a report by the first of
December, 1889, in order that action may
be taken to dispose of them also.
