Mr.. /. S. Preston, the company survey
or, is in town from recent surveys made
between Otero and Crow creek He has
been ordered to make some preliminary
surveys to see what can be done in the
way OF taking out ditch system from
Red river and the lower Sugarite. The
object is not so much to secure the normal
flow Of water, as to capture the floods and
carry them off to reservoirs on the prairie,
thence for the irrigation of the rich val
ley lands. After these surveys are made,
Mr.. Preston will spend the summer in the
mountains in the subdivision OF the COM
pany's mountain lands.-Raton Range.

Mr.. CHAS. B. LEWIS, an. Quad,
of the Detroit Free Press, visited
Wilmington while in our State re-
Gently. He writes a lengthy ac-
count of his observations for his pa
per. Referring to the impoverished
condition of the South at the close of
the war, abiding more particularly to
the people of Wilmington, Mr.. Lewis
says:
No man will ever know how poor,
impoverished and discouraged the peo-
pie of the South were when the war
closed. Let alone then they would
soon have made Roadway, but after
peace came the carpet-baggers, and
they chung like leeches until the last
drop of blood was extracted. There
are plenty of cities and counties which
are still burdened with the debts con-
tracted by the shame-faced robbers.
The South had to accept the men.
Everything had changed. Every
manner and custom was abolished
the system of business and agrlcul-
ture, and the routine of daily life up
set 1t was like an old man starting
out to learn a new A BIC. Consider
ing all this, no people could have come
to the front taster-no section built
up more rapidly.

NEXT to his own people Senator
Vance is loved by those of Virginia.
And we'll they may hold in high
esteem and grateful remembrance, for
at one time when she had no son of
her own (who was in position to do)
to befriend and defend her in the
United States Senate, the peerless
Vance stood up and spoke for the Old
Dominion as manfully as he did for
his beloved Carolina. The Petersburg
Mder-ARpeal says of him:
The thousands of admirers of Sen
ator Vance, of North Carolina, will
be shocked to learn that he is threat
ened with total blindness. 1t will be
remembered that but few weeks ago
one of his eyes had to be removed,
and now the news comes that there is
danger of another operation which
may result in the loss of the other
eye. That so able public man, SC
kindly gentleman, should have his
life blighted by SO terrible a misfor,
tune is pitiful, indeed.

A MICHIGAN MAN ON THE
RACE PROBLEM.

Mr.. c. B. Lewis of the Detroi,
Free Press who was recently in North
Carolina taking notes, has the fol.
lowing to say about the Grace Prob
lem" as he observes the situation:
When we of the North refer to the
South the negro always comes into the
question. His status and his future
are regarded by US as great problem.
We are much worried over it at times.
1t IS matter which should be and
can be left with the South to take
care Of The Southern negro is a
theory with us. He is a solid sub
stance to the Southerner. He knows
more about him in a day than we do
in year. He has got more excuses
for his failings than any Northern man
dare urge. He treats him more
kindly than we do the same race at
the North.
Just now the State Of North Caro-
lima is overrun with railroad agents
who are inducing western hegira
among the colored people. They
have taken 100000 or more away,
and the number is being added to
daily. The negro is made to think
he is going straight to Paradise, and
he accepts as truth any statement
these agents care to make. If all the
"sorry" ones would 60 it would be a
good thing, but the rush is taking
many of the very best colored men
who have small farms and a respect
able standing-intelligent and valued
merchants-some of the trusted hands
on plantations. They are sacrificing
everything to 60 with the rush, and
most of them will arrive in the West
penniless and homesick. None of
these moves are for his benefit. It IS

In recent number of the Oxford
Orphans Friend Miss Hatchett has
an excellent article on the subject of
the negro exodus from North Caro-
lima. 1t was SO good we clipped it
with the intention OF publishing it but
it has got misplaced. The Southern
2obafconist endorses the views ex-
pressed in said article and under the
heading of "Timely'' it comments as
follows:
The Orphans E>1ena, of Oxford,
has timely editorial, we'll put. 1t
does not by any means regret the
negro exodus. 1t argues rightly that
it will throw the throng of lazy lag
CARDS upon their own resources. Man
uel labor will be resorted to by the
whites, who will grow daily more in.
dependent and better off. The pres.
ence of the negro at home keeps them
out of fields of industry, that wher
away from home our young men gladly
embrace, but at home would rather
starve in the workhouse than work
with the negro.
Times have changed. The article
has the gist of truth in it and should
have sober thought and solid influence
on the minds of our white population
There are some hard hits at soft head:
and hands in easy places on half "a
tons, when hard work would pay bet.

MIR. HALSTEAD TURN ED

The Senate refused to confirm the
nomination of Murat Halstead, editor
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazefke,
who was nominated by President Har
rison to the Ministry to Germany. 1t
will be remembered that the nomina-
ton of Whitelaw Reid, editor of the
New York Tribune, as Minister to
France, would have failed of con-
frmation by the Senate but for the
votes of certain Democrats, our own
Senator Ransom being one of the Num-
Der. We quite agree with the Rich
mond Times when it says this:
If Editor Halstead has been turned
down simply because he as journal
list criticised the Senate, then the dam
nation of his turning down amounts to
assassination of public opinion.
We had hoped that if Mr.. Halstead
was rejected it would be put on the
ground of virulent sectionalism, and
if that had been the case the reason
would have been sound.
A journalist of Mr.. Halstead's rank
should act in his public capacity as a
patriot and philosopher, and with a
broad minded comprehension of the
good of his country. If he failed in
that high duty and made mischief
when the examples of great men saw
that the spirit of the people called tor
reconciliation, then Mr.. Halstead
should have been rejected NTH dis.
tinct understanding of the reason
But if he has been turned down be-
cause he criticised Senators, then it is
an unfortunate act, and it were better
by far that we should have mad a bad
man asa foreign minister than that the
American people should be made to
swallow the fact that man is to be
blacklisted for criticising the United
States Senate.

and pre-emption laws was to promote the
settlement Of the public domain by persons
having q bona fide, intent to make a home
upon the selected lands. Where this intent
is we'll established and the requirements OF
the law have been substantially complied
with, the claimant is entitled to a prompt
and friendly consideration Of his case. But
where there is reason to believe that the
claimant is the mere agent of another, who
is seeking to evade law intended to pro-
mote small holdings and to secure by fraud
ulent methods large tracts of timber and
other lands, both principal and agent
should not only be thwarted in their fraudu-
lent purpose, but should be made to feel the
full penalty of our criminal statutes. Tne
law should be so administered as not to con-
found these two classes. and to visit penal
ties only upon the latter.
The unsettled state of the titles to large
bodies of lands in the Territories Of New
Mexico and Arizona has greatly retarded
the development OF those Territories. Pro-
vision should be made by law for the
prompt trial and final adjustment, before a
judicial tribunal or commission, of all
claims based upon Mexican grants. 1t is
not just to an intelligent and enterpris1ng
people that their peace should be disturbed,
and their prosperity retarded by these old
contentious. express the hope that differ
ences of opinion as to methods may yield to
the urgency of the case.

to be known a. the Department Of Agri-
culture. BY the act of February 8 last, was q
wise and timely response to request which
had long been respectfully urged By the
farmers Of the country. But much remains
to be done to perfect the organization of the
department, so that it may fairly realize the
expectations which its creation excited. In
this connection attention is called to the
suggestions contained in the report of the
Secretary, which is herewith submitted.
The need of q law officer for the department,
such as Is provided for the other Executive
departments, is manifest The failure OF
the last Congress to make the usual pro-
vision for the publication of the annual re-
reports should be promptly remedied. The
public interest in the report, and its value
to the farming community, am sure, will
not be diminished under the new organiza-
ton of the department.
I recommend that the weather service be
separated from the War Department and
established as bureau in the Department
of Agriculture. This will involve an entire
reorganization both of the Weather Bureau
and of the Signal Corps, making of the first
a purely civil organization, and of the other
q purely military staff corps. The report
of the chief signal officer shows that the
work of the corps on its military side has
been deteriorating.
LITTLE coLUMBIA's INTERESTS.
The interests of the people of the District
of Columbia should not be lost sightof in
the pressure for consideration of measures
affecting the whole country. Having no
Legislature of its own, either municipal or
general, its people must look to Congress
for the regulation of all those concerns that,
in the States, are the subject of local in
terest, Our whole people have an interest
that the national capital should be made
attractive and beautiful, and, above all,
that its repute for social order should be
well maintained. The laws regulating the
sale of intoxicating drinks in the District
should be revised with a view to bringing
the traffic under stringent limitations and
control.
In execution of the power conferred on
me by the act making appropriations for
the expenses of the District of Columbia for
the year ending June 80, 1889, did, on
August II last, appoint Rudolph Herring, of
New York, Samuel NJ. Gray, of Rhode
Island, and Frederick P. Stearns, of Massa-
chussets, three eminent sanitary engineers,
to examine and report upon the system of
sewerage existing in the District Of Colum-
bia. Their report, which is not yet COM
pleted, will be in due course submitted to
congress.
The report of the Commissioners of the
District is herewith transmitted, and the at
tention of Congress is called to the sugges-
tions contained therein.
The proposition to observe the four hun
dredth anniversary OF the discovery of
America by the opening of a Worlds Fair
or Exposition in some one of our great cities
will be presented for the consideration of
Congress. The value and interest of such
on exposition may well claim the promotion
of the Government.

The law now provides pension for every
soldier and sailor who was mustered into the
service of the United States during the
Civil War and is now suffering from wounds
or disease having an origin in the service
and in the line of duty. Two of the three
necessary facts, viz: muster and disability,
are usually susceptible of easy proof, but
the third, origin in the service, is often diff
cult, and in many deserving cases impossible
to establish. That very many Of those who
endured the hardships of our most bloody and
arduous campaigns are now disabled from
diseases that had real but not traceable
origin in the service, do not doubt. Be-
sides there is another class, composed of
men, many of whom served an enlistment of
three full years, and re-enlisted veterans
who added fourth year of service, who
escaped the casualties of battle and the as
saults of disease, who were always ready for
any detail, who were in every battle line of
their command, and were mustered out in
sound health, and have, since the close of
the war, while fighting with the same in
domitable and independent spirit the con-
tests of civil life, been overcome by disease
or casualty.
am not unaware that the pension roll al
ready involves very large annual expendi-
ture, neither am deferred by that fact from
recommending that Congress grant a pen
sion to such honorably discharged soldiers
and sailors of the Civil War as, having rem
dered substantial service during the wal, are
now dependent upon their own labor for a
maintenance, and by disease or casualty are
incapacitated from earning it. Many of the
men who were included in this form of re-
lief are now dependent upon public aid, and
it does not, in my judgment, consist with the
national honor that they shall continue to
subsist upon the local relief given indis-
criminately to paupers, instead of upon the
special and generous provision OF the nation
they served so gallantly and unselfshly.
Our people will, am sure, very generally
approve such legislation. And [ am equally
sure that the survivors of the Union Army
and Navy will feel grateful sense of re-
lief when this worthy and suffering class of
their comrades is fairly cared for.
There are some manifest inequalities in
the existing law tnat should be remedied.
To some of these the Secretary of the In
terror has called attention. 1t is gratifying
to be able to state that, by the adoption of
new and better methods in the War Depart
ment, the calls of the Pension Office for In
formation as to the military and hospital
records of pension claimants are now
promptly answered, and the injurious and
vexatious delays that have heretofore oc-
CURED are entirely avoided. This will
greatly facilitate the adjustment of all pend
ing claims

Grenr Improyement.

It is not many years ago people travelled on
horseback or by stages; now fifty miles an hour
is not fast enough for them. Formerly people
wrote letters that were weeks in reaching their
destination; now the telegraph flashes thought
around the world. Formerly doctors bled their
patients for nearly every complaint; now they
use advanced science of the highest order.
Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue College, says:
"The iudicious use Of alcoholic stimulants is one
of the striking characteristics Of progress in the
practice of medicine during the last half CEN
turyn Prof Henry Mott. Phi. D.. F. G. s., says;

tons or foreign substances, and it deserves to

highly recommend Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
and prescribe it extensively in my practice"

I know from experience it is pure and most
valuable medicine. am also using it in the
