HON. THOs. liz. JERNIGAN.

The friends of Hon. Thos. r. Jerni-
gan, who as Consul General to Shanghai,
has recently had special opportunity,
owing to the Chinese outrages, to serve
his countrymen, are gratifed at the high
commendation given him by the mis-
sionaries resident in China.
The NEWS AND OBSERVER yesterday
received a letter from committee, com
posed of John R. Hykes, @. T. Reid and
&. F. Fitch, appointed to voice the gen.
eral feeling among foreigners in China
in regard to the necessity for more Wig
orous action on the part of England and
America to compel China to put an end
to the recurrence of the outrages of
missionaries. We are glad to quote the
following extract from a letter Of this
committee
The resolutions adopted at the meeting
above mentioned outline our views Of
the course which should be pursued.
We feel that a properly constituted com
mission Is absolutely necessary to the
conviction and punishment of the guilty
parties, whom we believe to be the high
est officials Of the province. While we
would not wish to venture an opinion
that could be considered improper, we do
not hesitate to say that our Consul
General at Shanghai, Mr.. 7. r. Jernigan
has so often given us material aid in the
interest Of our work that he has the en-
tire confidence of all, and to entrust to
him the investigation of our wrongs
would give unqualified satisfaction We
hope you will commend Mr.. Jernigan for
his earnest efforts. The lively interest
that he has shown from the beginning,
and the work that he has already done
in the way of securing information and
evidence, eminently fit him for heading
this commission; and we are sure that
his appointment would be highly salts
factory to all his fellow nationals in
China.

GA" AND NOT s'THE.''

The Concord Standard will note that
we referred to the snap lease Of the
North Carolina Railroad as the ''crime Of
q century," meaning, of course, that its
results would remain an hundred years,
save one. We did not call it the
crime Of the century. But the more we
think Of it the more we believe that q
crime against unborn generations has
been committed by men whose duty it
was to protect their interests. We be-
lieve that Ia less than twenty five years
it will be 50 apparent that even the Gov
ernor and the Directors will regent their
action. But then we can only say TO
them what we said before the lease:
''It is better to be safe than sorry"

Mr. Henry B. King, a rich cotton

ex-U. S. Senator John p King, who was
a delegate to the Memphis gold conven-
ton, is out in, ,etter declaring his con-
version to bi-metalhsm. The following

"The increased demand for gold will
naturally put up its price, and if all
other valuables are measured by gold it
will take less gold to buy certain guam

modities to purchase a certain quantity

not the corollary inevitable, that one

he comes to repay it, have to expend
more pounds of cotton, more bushels of
wheat, more days of labor, in proper

nized as the law of the land, there are

live. was appointed chairman of
committee to investigate affairs at
Spring Valley, where there was recently
a murderous assault of Italians upon
negroes. We could not go to Spring Val
ley direct, because the train arrived there
in the middle of the night and nobody
would answer for our lives. There were
two other convenient stations on the
Rock Island road, either of which we
might reach by rail in the daytime and
60 thence by daylight to Spring Valley,
but at one of them, as we were credita
bly, informed, no negro would be allowed
to get off the cars, while at the other
even the occasional presence of negro
had not been allowed for years. And
this is said to be the State of Abraham
Lincoln"
This could not have happened in North

A PARALLEL CASE.

THE State of North Carolina will not
permit its citizens to take but six per
cent interest, and why should it not be
satisfied with seven per cent on the N.
G. r. r. lease r.
This is the specious plea of those who
are being secured to bolster up the lease.
On its face, it sounds very plausible, Tut
greater fallacy was never uttered. Let
us puncture it,
/. There is no statute in North Caro-
lima that limits rental money. A has a
house that cost him $4,000 The build
ing of street car line by bis house
greatly enhances its desirability. He
has an offer of $500 a year rental. He
takes it, and he is right in doing so. B
has cotton factory. @ offers to lease it
and pay him ten per cent on the original
cost. Anything wrong about that? The
State of North Carolina owns three
fourths of railroad, for which it is in
debt. Private parties own the balance
upon which they have never paid any
tax. The State rents out the road, and
the rental is expressed in certain per
cent on the stock. Because the term
'per cent? instead of "rental" is used,
does it bear any analogy to the loan of
money e
2. The North Carolina railroad bears
the same relation to the State that large
tract of land adjacent to a great city
bears to a man who owns three fourths
interest in it. He bought the
land when few people thought
the city would grow in that direction,
and paid for it by a note secured by
mortgage, and leases his land for thirty
years in order to get enough to pay the
interest on his purchase, to company.
He knows at the end of that time the
land will be doubled or trebled in value.
Six years before the lease expires, the
city having grown up all around his
land and it having appreciated in value
to more than so per cent, his lessees ask
for ninety nine year lease, agreeing to
pay him per cent. instead Of 6, and to
pay certain taxes and small expenses. If
the lessor should accept the proposition,
his friends would have a guardian ap-
pointed for him on the ground that he
didn't have enough sense to transact his
business. IF he accepts, a sensible
business man would say, she gives to
the lessees all the benefits which the
increased population and new business
has given to his property" That would
be silly enough, but to bind himself for
paltry one Or two per cent to give the
lessees and their heirs this increase for
ninety nine years is to rob his children
and his grandchildren. If he wants to
rob himself, he may do so; but as long
as there is law in the land, the crazy
man shall not rob his heirs of splendid
income which his foresight and the
growth of population and increase of
business has added to the property.
And into an insane asylum and into
straight jackets he would go.
The recent lease of the North Carolina
Railroad for ninety-nine years is an ex-
actly parallel case.

THE MAKERS OF PROSPERITY.

There is an unfortunate tendency
among great body of the American
people just now to tear down the max.
.rs of prosperity. Prosperity is made
by those who are willing to employ
property and the savings or making of
labor in making more property and
carrying on or extending industries.
The only incentive men and women
lave for making new industries or
maintaining or extehGing existing ones,
s that there shall be gain to them IN
il. This desire for gain makes the con.
dition and the only one which employs
the labor of another person. Yet
there is a chronic desire now to make
fights upon and destroy the earning
and profits of all those who use prop
erty in the employment of labor. Peo-
pie are fighting the railroads, which
are one of the greatest employers of
labor.-people are fighting these until
they are being driven into bankruptcy,
into inability to pay dividends to their
owners, into failure of profits, so
that there is no gain, but only loss for
those that invest in that sort of prop
erty. 1t cannot employ as p.- ZEN
as it did, it cannot give III as good
pay as it did, and there is no extension
of railroad building under existing
conditions, so that that great possible
ty of extended industry and employ
ment for additional labor is ceasing t
exist. This cuts off just so many PEG
pie from labor and the possibility Of
making a prosperous living. SO fol-
some years preceding the last election
(which election probably indicates
turn on that score to the better), ever
the working people employed in Ameri
can manufactures wanted to destro,
those manufactures because of blint
resentment that those who owned tn,
manufactures should make any mon
ey. Now if those manufactures coult
not make reasonable gain they ceas,
to manufacture, and that great field O
labor employment in America is shu
off, and with that great destruction o
enterprise goes that large employment
of labor and consequently of popula
prosperity. The same condition exist

you, let your life be so that no one will

of riches that do not take wings and

There is circulating somewhere in

other put up Q Confederate ten dollar

the stake holder. A good natured al
tercation arose between the parties and

Shareholders hand and put them boil

words the other party said: swell, 20,

good bill, but 1t turned out that he had
used the Confederate bill, and for the
first time he found he had passed
worthless piece Of paper as good as
money. He at once went back to the
bank to redeem it, but the banker said
1t had been paid out and since then
nothing has been heard of it. The
money is on deposit to redeem 1t when
it turns up. The moral of this story is
that whatever may be the defects Of
