A Chicago dispatch Of the 9Th avs:
The sensation in connection with the
all-absorbing Cronin case to-day was
the finding of the surgical case and
clothes of the murdered physician, and
the forging of another link in the chain
of circumstantial evidence that turks
ominously around the conspirators. For
some time complaints have been made
to the sewer department of the
Lake View station that the sewer at
the intersection of Evanston Avenue
and Buena Avenue was flush and rum
ming over. To-day two or three sewer
cleaners were detailed to investigate
the cause. The cover was removed
from the manhole in the center OF the
street and with the long poles the work
men prodded among the rubbish be-
meath the water. Finally solid
resistance was encountered and
the workmen then realized that
it was something more than
alluvial deposit. After some
hooking and digging two valises were
unearthed, one q leather one and the
other the remnants of a paper one. In
the leather valise was found DR.. Gro
Minis prescription book, with several
prescriptions bearing his signature. The
paper one dropped to pieces as 1t was
pulled out, and from it rolled out mass
of tattered clothing that bore the
evidence of having been cut in
strips by a sharp knife. The only
intact garment was the vest, which
was in the center and which encircled
the Doctors case of surgical instruments.
The clothing had evidently been cut
and the buttons removed in the hope
that they would soon drop apart and be
borne away by the waters into the lake.
The surgical case and prescription book
bore the Doctors name, and they as
we'll as every article of outward clothing
were recognized by the Conklins and a
dozen other friends as the property of
the murdered physician.
The most damning of all circum-
stances for the prisoners is the fact that
all of this was found only one block
from the spot where the bloody trunk
was discovered after it had been thrown
hurriedly from the wagon on the night
of May 4, or only half mile south Of
where the body of DR.. Cronin was
found in the catch-basin. The paper
valise is supposed to have been the one
purchased by ]. B. Simonds from A. H.
Reyell q Co.

SPEAKING of the negro exodus from
North Carolina, the Norfolk Public
Ledger draws the following wise con-
clusions and comments. 1t says:
Whether there is to be an exodus of
negroes from the Eastern part of North
Carolina, where they are very numer-
Gus, to other portions of the country,
remains to be seen but should such
an event occur, it is scarcely probable
that permanent injury would result
therefrom. Indeed it is more than prob
able that in the long run good would
follow such a movement, for we have
already noticed in our exchanges that
thirty thousand white farm hands Car
be obtained at the present time in Hi
nois to work in North Carolina.
No; North Carolina will not BIZ
hurt by the negro exodus. We car
very we'll afford just as maryland 0
that class-as will go.

Jay GOULD passed over the Rich
mond & Danville Railroad recently.
Col. VIM. Johnson of Charlotte thought
it necessary to spread little "taffy'
over the NNizard of Wall street, and
SO he made set speech to him while
the train was standing at the depot a
few minutes. Col. Johnson eulogized
Gould for what he had done for the
poor man, claiming great things for
him on that score Some of the papers
do not agree with the gentleman from
Charlotte in this, and declare that
Gould pays his employees starvation
wages, and as result has caused more
disturbances with the laboring class
than any other man in the world, &c.
The Goldsboro Meren,y, in comment
ing on this action Of Col. Johnson
voices our sentiments when it says:
Shame on the man that blots Out
the poor laborer and holds in high es
TEEN the millionaire-all because the
money. is there. A wealthy man tina,
does unto others as he would have
them do unto him is good man ii
our eyes, but the poor man is held il
still higher esteem, if his character i
not stained, and has no rascality abou
him.

The hungry Office seekers are find
ing fault with the President. He
seems to be making haste slowly in the
matter of turning out Democrats pure
ly upon the ground that they are
Democrats, and putting in Republi-
cans simply because they are Republi-
cans. He has intimated in an unmis-
taxable manner to several callers that
he will not make general removals
among office holders without cause.
Two or three people who have asked
for the removal of Democratic Office
holders and the appointment of Re-
publican friends in their places, have
been asked when the term of the men
whose removal they desire expire, sand
when they have given the information
to the President he has asked them to
come and see him about that time.

senger say:
There is no doubt about the peril.
nent truth and direct application Of
the foregoing remarks. The Atgu.
and all Southern newspapers who
study the situation, see the present
a great opportunity for our people
Now is the time to enlist in the aid O.
Northern capital. But our people dc
not to know that, in order to in
duce these Northern people to inves
in Southern enterprises, it is necessary
for US to do something ourselves.
there are works of local enterprise
that we want carried out, we mus
| project them. If we desire a local line
of railroad we must ourselves organize
the undertaking, develop the scheme
and present it to outside capitalists a.
a thing which we, who are familiar
with the country it traverses, and ths
resources it IS to develop, have ths
confidence of our own investments.
Men of money at the North, ano
elsewhere, are as selfish as we are. Ii
business matters they have no philan
thropy. When they put dollars int
railroads they expect to take out divi
dends. If we 60 to show them gooc
thing. they want to know if we ar,
into it; and if not, why not? The,
know there is good deal of money
in every Southern community for in
vestment, and when such communi
ties invite outsiders to look into a gooe
scheme they look more favorably
they find local interest in it.

All along the line of North Carolina
journalism there is an improvement
both in the editorial conduct and me-
chanical make up, which is highly
commendable. The newspaper should
mould public sentiment and lead in
public enterprise, and to do this sue
cessfully, must be entcrprising itself

A HAPPY RADIANCE.

The High Point Enterprise thinks
the negro exodus from this State will
be a good thing for North Carolina.
1t is mostly that class that we can very
we'll spare, that is going. This is we'll.
1t will be better for those who remain
and better for the State at large. The
Enterprise says:
The exodus of the negroes to the
Southwestern States has assumed shape
which invites comment. In the last
four or FIVE months it is estimated that
as many as 5000 negroes have left
North Carolina. Will North Carolina
be worsted bv this exodus1 We think
not. One third of the negro popula-
ton in the State to-day is as good as
idle. In large towns and cities hun
dreds of them can be seen standing
around the public places with their
hands in their pockets summing. If an
easy job comes in view they reluctant
ly take hold, but the majority of them
refuse outright to do an honest days
work. They get what they eat from
the earning of their wives and other
kin who do the washing for our towns:
They are not compelled to work and
they don't work. These negroes are
not our former slaves but the younger
set which have grown up into impu-
dent yagabonds who are stumbling
blocks in the way of those of their race
who desire to prosper. This is the
class generally that is leaving North
Carolina, and we say, hasten the day
phen We arg rid of them.

THE New Berne Journal puts in a

manner. 1t says:
Help the poor by giving them en-
ployment.; give them employment by
starting manufacturing enterprises.
The man who employs his money and
talent to relieve suffering humanity is
a public benefactor. The way to re-
lieve suffering, or to prevent suffering
is to give people employment. Help
to start some enterprise that will give
them employment.
