GOV. FOWLE's MESSAGE.
SOME OF THE IMPORTANT TOPICS
IT DISCUSSES.

Raleigh, n. c., January g.
Governor Fowle's message was read
in the Legislature to-day. 1t is of
great length and covers two years, the
principal features Of which being as
follows: The State debt is only So
s39,OOO 50 ,72O, 900 of which are in 6
per cent bonds, the remainder in 4
per cent. On skies the Stale has
no interest to pay, as it is paid for by
the lease of North Carolina railway,
in which the Commonwealth holds
So 100000 of stock, SO the debt is
practically only $3,2lS,ooo. There
are fftynine railways. with 3,1oo
miles, worth $l4 900, 900, A 1ail-
way commission is recomuended.
Protection of oYs ers is given
special consideration. It is recon-
mended that yearly tax based upon
tonnage be required Ola each vessel
taking oysters. Oysters to be culled
orly on rocks or beds, and that not
sver ten per cent or over two inches
long be takeu from each bed; that
there bean efic:snt oyster police,
and inspectors at each oyster centre;
that owners of canneries IN business
in the State be given same rights as
other persons; thao no oysters be
taken from May lst to October 1st,
that all vessels violating the law be
pursued and captured. Twenty
five thousand dollars is asked for dis
play of North Carolina's resources at
Chiclgo's exposition. Taxable pro-
perty in this State is valued at 1927 =
600 900, in increase of $40, 900 in
two wears. There is urgent nee essitv
for equalization of taxation, and coun-
ty and State boards are necessary to
secure this law in regard to public
schools, It needs such amendments
as to require county commissioners to
set apart amounts necessary for schools
before making other appropriations.
University buildings are Old and to
great degree unserviceabIe, and gen.
erous aid should be given, after spe.
cial committee has made inspection.
Training schools for white teachers
particu tarly for females, are asked
for as absolutely necessary. The
law regarding fertilizers should be so
amended as to impose tax of 25 cts.
per ton. Appropriations to complete
buildings and equipment of agriculture
al and mechanical colleges is necess-
ary, also one for college of the same
kind for negroes. The condition of
the penitentiary is verv satisfactory,
that institution being self supporting.
but in case there is falling off of the
demand for convicts on railway work,
factories for tobacco or jute bagging
should be established in prison or con-
Viets put on farms. Reformatorv for

The act of congress prohibiting aliens from purchasing lands in the territories will not apply to Arizona when it becomes a state. This pro- hibition has been a most serious discrimination against the mines of Arizona. A mine which would be worth tens of thousands in Colo rado have been of no value here. Statehood has given a boom to the mining interets of Montana. Every miner and prospector in Arizona should be for statehood, for this if for no other reason. The reasons against alien ownership of arabic lands do not apply to mines. State hood will give a new impulse to mining, which will extend to all other industries.-Tucson Star.

The commissioner of Indian ai- fairs has added his voice to the number of those who advocate the abandonment of Indianreservations and opening them for settlement He hits the nail on the head in the following paragraph of his annual report just published: "Whatever right and title the Indians have in them is subject to and must yield to the demands of civilization, They should be protected in the permanent possession of all this land that is necessary to their own support, and whatever is ceded by them should be paid for at it's full market value. But it cannot be ex- pected under any circumstances that these reservations can remain intact hindering the progress of civ. ilization, requiring an army to pro- tect them from the encroachments of homeseekers, and maintaining a perpetual abode of savagery and animalism. ."-Enterprise.

Buried Riches.

Numerous are the traditions re- lating to buried treasures at Gran Quivera. Searching parties have on several occasions visited the ruins and dug in vain for the golden store said to be buried there. Gran Qui- vera ruins are about 100 miles south east of this city. The ruins are massive and show that at one time a high civilization f1ourished there, and that the people possessed great wealth. It is supposed that the country was upheaved in an earth quake centuries ago. and the people all destroyed, the houses tumbled into ruins, and the streams of water were drained into subterranean channels. There are remains of ex- tensive aqueducts, but there is not d drop of water within fifty miles of the ruins.
 No one knows the history of these ruins. Coronado, in his history of the explorations made as early as 1540, wrote of the seven cities of Cibola, describing them as of fabu- lous wealth and magnificent beauty. The ruins at Gran Quivera are be- iieved to be the ruins of one of those cities. Coronado told of abundant gold and treasures in all of these cities and many expeditions have explored about Quivera. The ruins indicate that large city stood there. The limestone walls mark out the sites of palaces. monster ies and churches. No treasure has ever been found there, but the be- lief that it is located there antedates any traditions of the Mexicans or Indians.
 A party has been organized here to explore the ruins, and as soon as answers to letters, which have been mailed for information to Spain and Mexico, and which are expected to divulge the exact location where the buried treasure can be found, are received, the party, under a de- termined and adventurous leader, will move upon Gran Quivera. They will take along camping outfits, and expect to be absent about two months.-Alb. Citizen.

THOSE who are opposing the con stitution formulated at Phoenix are not giving it fair test. Take it and compare it with theconstitutions of other States, and then judge of it's merits or demerits, would be the proper and right way of passing judgment upon it. Do this and our constitution would stand out pre- eminent as mong the best, if not the best, in the Union. Of course, 1t is not possible for any body of men to frame a document that no one could find any defect in. There are many persons in the world who are vain enough to think they could improve on the Bible, and that is supposed to have been inspired by an all-wise and omnipotent being. There are others who would find fault with anything unless 1t was their own handiwork, and in that case it would be perfect. in their es- timation. It is the latter class who are opposed to the constitution of Arizona

 letter from one of the federal off cials at Rio Grande City, says that evidence continues to accumulate, that the men executed by Garcia
 were not guilty of the offense for which they died, and that some of them were entitled to the protection of the stars and stripes, by reason of having formally declared their intentions of becoming American citizens. Reports are received of other like executions, which were concealed by the Mexican military.
