WILL BE FAIRLY TREATED.
BALTIMORE, July 30.-In conversation
with reporter tonight regarding the

olic Indian Missions and the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, Cardinal Glib
bons said that after the investigation he is
satisfied that undue importance had been
attached to the recent controversy. He
does not see how the change in the man
ner of preparing contracts, deemed ad-
VlSable by Commission Morgan, can in
any manner effect the real interest of the
Indians, and therefore it is point which
should not disturb the Catholics.
The Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions
IS still in a position 20 labor in many
ueluS OF usefulness. ArchDlShOp IrelandQ
who visited the commissioners received
ample and positive assurance of his dis
position and intention to treat Catholic
Indian Schools with equity and gener-
osty.
The Cardinal added that Archbishop
Ireland is personally satisfied that Nor
gan's assurances will be carried out, and
that he (the Cardinal) has every reason to
believe the President and Secretary ofthe
Interior are benevolently disposed to-
ward the Catholic Indian Schools and will
treat them in a Just and eq uitable manner.

ENCOURAGING ACTION OF THE
To-, RAILROADS.

TN ~ .
The Bureau OF immigration is already
receiving letters from railroad officials
representing all the most extensive sys-
TENS throughout the country proffering
generous aid and ample facilities to as
sure the success of the Southern Expo
sltion to be held in Raleigh in October
next. Their co operation therefore dis
plays itself in the offer of cheap rates
and ample conveniences for the trans.
portation Of passengers to and fro, and
also for the quick and safe movement Of
articles designed for exhibit. They also
propose to arouse the interest of the
people living along their lines, and stim-
ulate them to illustrate their localities
by displays of their products and fab
rics.
We refer to this now because of the
Importance that must be attached to the
railroads. Whether their interest be
friendly or selfish need not be inquired
into. We ascribe to them the best
motives, and welcome them as generous
powerful and indispensable cooperation
in the great work we have in hand.

THE PRESIDENTS WELCOME.

Everywhere in the South the Presi-

cordial welcome, and a stranger who
would observe the honors shown him
would suppose the Southern people had
elected him and were specially anxious
to see his administration score a great
success. Mr.. CLEVELAND, when he was
President, could not have been more
warmly welcomed. All this shows the
innate courtesy Of the people of the
South and their appreciation of the
dignity of the exalted Cflice Of President
of the United States. Referring to the
reception given to the President, the
New York Herald says:
Mr.. Harrison could receive no warmer
welcome in the blacklist of black Repub
lican centres than he has received in the
Democratic South. This is one of the
most gratifying signs of the times
proof, If any were needed, that the old

At the time of his resignation, tie I
CHRONICLE did not refer at length to the
services which Hon. K 2. Battle has
rendered the State as President Of the
University. We preferred to wait until
the end of his term and then to put on
record comprehensive statement OF bis
services. To-day We are glad to quote
the following from Dr.. T. 81. PRlTcH-
ARDS letter to Charity and Children:
1t may be little late in the day; but
nevertheless, wish to express my high
appreciation Of the valuable service Dr..
Battle has rendered the State as Presi
dent of the University. lhe institution
was in debt: every thing In the way OF
appliances for teaching, except buildings,
and they dreadfully out of repair, had to
be provided, and indeed it was almost
like starting a new college when Or.
Battle was called to this position. Money,
and great deal Of it, was an absolute
necessity. The State could not or would
not supply it, and it was largely through
the personal regard which Mr.. Paul
| Cameron, Mr.. B. F. Moore. Gov Graham
| and Others had for DR. Battle that they
we're induced to become the benefactors
of the State college. They knew him to
be wise and safe man: they knew also
that he had the confidence of the people
| of the State and that it was no expert
ment to put him at the head of the Uni
versity.
Moreover, he had been Sta.e Treasu-
rer at time of financial peril. His
duties in this Office and his residence in
Raleigh had made him acquainted with
the public men of the State, and think
it is not too much to say that his knowl-
edge of men and his tact in managing
men enabled him to secure from the Leg
islature of the State more liberal appro-
priations for the University than per-
haps any other man in North Carolina
could have obtained.
1t is worthy Of mention too in this
connection, that the existence of the
magnificent Memorial Hall is du in nc
small degree to his personal influence
and efforts.
Those who know the many difficulties
that had to be encountered, the scanty
resources at the command of the institu
tIOu auu tuo ou6ISy, WlouOu anu peIolo
tence with which they We're assailed and
overcome will not fail to ascribe high
