Deposit the Securities.

There are few who, for various reasons,
are opposed TO the plan for recognizing the
Central railroad system Some OF the few
would like to see the system broken up.
because they have schemes in which they
could use some Of the fragments to advan-
tage. Others don't get as much in the re-
organization scheme as they think they
ought TO have. But what do the opponents
of the scheme Office to security holders il it
should faill Do they hold out hope that
they will get anything betterl They do
not.
1t is safe TO say that nearly all OF those
who are trying to block reorganization are
iu1uenced by selfish motives. There is no
other plan than the one offered,
and there is no probability that
a better one will be offered.
II there should be, those who deposit their
securities will be in a position TO got the
benefit of it.
There are plenty of rumors floating about
Of other plans, but there is nothing def
mite in regard to them, nor is there likely
TO be. As il looks now those who fail to
deposit their stocks and bonds will make
mistake. The securities are being deposited
rapidly. The Southwestern COMMITTEES
has reported in favor OF accepting the plan
and within few days the bulk OF the
securities of that road will be in. Aud it is
among the probabilities that under re-
organization the security holders will fare
better than they expect

Hnw TO Reform the Tariff.

Suggestions for reforming the tariff are
not likely TO be wanting Tariff reformers
who believe they know exactly the kind of
a tariff bill that ought TO be passed have
already begun placing their ideas about the
tariff before the public, aud they will be
greatly disappointed If congress should fail
to appreciate their efforts, They are very
sincere, and. no donbt, are possessed Of
considerable knowledge of the subject con-
corning when they desire to enlighten the
| President, Secretary Carlisle and congress.
| Mr.. Thomas &. Shearman has been writ
ing letters to the President on the tariff
and the Reform Club of New York has Just
| sent TO Secretary Carlisle draft Of q tariff
bill with a request to place it before
the ways and means committee when
that Committee shall have been appointed.
! No doubt Mr.. Carlisle will comply with the
clubs request with great pleasure.
All these people who are endesvoring to
inform congress what ought to be done in
respect 10 the tariff have excellent general
ideas about tariff matters. and it may be
that their suggestions will help congress- in
shaping tariff legislation, but it should not
be forgotten that it is much easier to write
tariff essays and point out the kind OF a
tariff that would make the country prosper
GUS than to frame a tariff bill.
The members Of the ways and means com
mittee, when they meet for the first time in
their committee room, feel as IL they could
prepare a tariff bill very quickly that
would meet the approval Of the country.
They have theories which appear TO them to
be just what should be Incorporated in a
bill, but they have very little actual knowl-
edge Of the tariff and it's workings. That
they get as the business OF framing a bill
progresses. After they have listened 20
delegations representing various interests
for a few weeks aud have questioned tariff
experts they begin to think there is good
many things connected with the tariff Of
which they had no knowledge. When they
attempt to fit the facts to their theories
they not infrequently find they are not
equal to the task
Mr.. Carlisle has the advantage of most Of
the gentlemen who are now engaged in
giving him aud the President, and, through
them, congress, points about the tariff. He
is we'll up in all the tariff theories, and at
the same time he is thoroughly informed in
regard TO the practical side of the tariff
question. He has listened to delegations
and questioned experts. and what
he doesn't know about the tariff is scarcely
worth knowing. Still, he is doubtless CRATE
full to Mr.. Sherman aad the Reform
Club aud all the rest of the tariff reformers
for their efforts to assist him. He may learn
something from them, but the country is
not depending upon them for tariff reform
legislation. 1t Is looking to him and to con-
gress to put into practical shape the will of
the people, in respect to the tariff, that was
expressed 30 emphatically at the polls last
November.

Easy, When You Know HOW.

Aretired captain Of the British army, who
has made fortune in Borneo gutta percha, was
chatting with party Of acquaintances in an
uptown hotel, says the New York Tribune.
when one of the younger men made a remark
about the number and brilliaucy Of the rings on
the officers hand.
How in the world did you manage to get in
without paying duty on those magnificent dia-
mondsr" he asked. lyon have more than your
share-more that one man should be allowed 70
wear"
The captain replied:
Il made the acquaintance OF four good fellows
on the voyage over-a railroad manager a
banker, a commission merchant and a capital
ist They admired my diamonds very much
and Induced them to get them to help me get
them ashore. Eacn put on u valuable ring as
soon as we sighted land, and wore IL till we ar
rived at the hotsl, when they we're returned to
me. This ring, which the railroad man wore
for me, is worth $4,000. The others are not so
valuable. It's the easiest thing in the world to
humbug the custom officers when one knows
how to do it"

Another effort Is to be made to have the
fence law adopted 10 this county. The law
is to fence in stock and leave planting land
open.
An unsuccessful effort was made a year
/ or two ago TO have the law adopted. 1t is
now hoped that voters see the wisdom of
the law aud will favor it by a large ma
jority.
The best cattle in the county are those
that are kept within Enclosures Those that
are permitted to roam at large destroying
crops and running the public drains, which
have been constructed at so great an ex-
penss are. as q rule, Of comparatively little
value
The question for voters to consider is
simply this: Shall lands which can be
made TO add hundreds OF thousands OF doll
lars annually to the wealth of the county
lie Idle, in order that few cattle OF little
value may run at large and destroy the
drainage improvements which have been
made at such vast expensei
Ii is absolutely necessary for the pressrVa-
ton Of the health of the county that the
drains shall be kept open, and it is next TO
impossible to keep them open il cattle are
given the freedom of the county. In their
efforts to get water the cattle trample the
soil into the drains, and thus distractions
to drainage are formed. For reasons of
health, therefore, the law requiring stock to
be fenced in should be adopted.
Why don't those who want to open farms
fence in their lanes? ask those who want
their cattle supported at public expense.
The reason is they can't afford to. There
would be hundreds Of small truck farms
opened within the county limits in very
short time IL the law requiring cattle to be
fenced in we're put into operation.
Order stock kept within Enclosures and
in little while Chatham county would be
dotted all over with farms aud the cattle
would be better and vastly more valuable.
Look at the counties in which stock is
fenced I'M How prosperous they are!
What fine cattle the farmers have and how
thrifty the farms appear. In North Caro-
lima the cattle are kept within Enclosures in
every county. The people Of that state
would not go back to the old system now
that they know the benefits of the new.
The people of this county should
agitate this question. Every man who
has an interest in it should favor
shutting in vsgrant cattle. The co..
ored people especially are interested In hav-
ing the law shutting them in adopted, be-
Gauge it would open the way for them to be-
come small farmers. They should not per-
NIT themselves to be deceived by the few
who are anxious to pasture their COWS at
other peoples expense and on other peoples

Getting Tired of Pua,llsts.

Last Monday when Champion Jim Cor
son, the principal hotel IN Pittsburg, Pa.
he was told that he was not wanted as g
guest. The hotel clerk SAID: 1--WE don't
want any pugilists at this house. They are
nuisance. The regular patrons are au-
noyed by them.n The much-admired Cham
pion Jim was compelled to seek accommo-
dations at a less pretentious house.
There is a growing disposition in all parts
OF the country to frown upon priEe-fig
and prize-fghters. The people of New Or
leans have taken steps to put an end to
prize-fghting contests in that city. They
realize that such contests do their city
no good. On the contrary, they
give her an unenviable uotoriety.
The people who hang around prize-hghters
and devote their time to the prize ring are
not the kind desired by any community as
residents or visitors. The effect of their
presence is demoralizing and their influence
upon youth and young men is bad.
In the north New Orleans is severely
criticised for permitting prize-hghts within
her limits, and the fact that she does per-
NIT them ia accepted as evidence that her
standard of morals is lower than that of
any other city in the country. Il is over.
looked that as rule the prize-hghters are
from the north, that their hackers are from
the north and that they get their principal
support in the north. AT the prize
fights that have recently occurred In New
Orleans the principals. the seconds, and a
~ ~ he nA -
the north. The truth, therefore, is that
New Orleans is no worse than q northern
city. The mistake she has made 10 simply
permitting herself TO be made the scene of
the brutal contests that were arranged ct
the north.
Her laws prohibit prize fights. but permit
glove contests in the halls Of athletic 1850
Citations. The contests which have taken
place within her limits recently. however
although gloves we're used, were genuine
prize-fghts, and clear violation of her
laws. The authorities have seen fit, how
ever, not to take notice OF these violations,
but public sentiment is becoming 50 strong
against them that they will have TO take
notice of them and insist upon a strict en-
! forcement OF the law.
There is no use denying. however, that
great interest is taken In prize-6ghts, and
the interest is not confined to any section OF
the country. It is as great in the north as
in the south, and the northern critics who
insist that there is higher standard OF
morals at the north than at the south only
play the part of pharisees.
II the gates of New Orleans should be
less will be soon, prize-fghters will find an.
other place for their contests, and it is much
more likely to be in the north than in the
south, since the north furnishes most OF the
prize-fghters and the money to back them,
and also the majority of the prize-fghting
fraternity.
