MOVEMENT FOR RECOGNITION.
It Will Be Made In Congress Shortly
After Committees Are Appointed.

1t Will Be Made In Congress Shortly
After Committees Are Appointed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-There is nc
doubt that movement to recognize
the Cuban insurgents as belligerents
will be pressed upon the attention OF
the house soon after its organization
has been completed, by the appoint.
ment of committees. Possibly resolu-
ton may be reported from the com.
mittee on foreign affairs of it's own
notion. This is talked of, but if the
committee does not care to take up the
matter itself, there are influential
members outside who are ready to
assume the initiative.
Broderick of Kansas May Act.
One of them is Representative Brod-
erick of Kansas, who was member of
the judiciary committee in the last con-
gress. Mr. Broderiek hopes that some
member of the foreign affairs commit
tee will champion the cause of the
Cubans, but he has resolved to prepare
a resolution himself if no action is
taken by members who are particularly
identified with diplomatic matters.
He believes that the course of this
government towards the republic of
Texas, and towards Mexico, when Max
imillian was undertaking its conquest,
furnished precedents for recognition of
the Cubans, and that the course of
Spain in recognizing the Southern Con-
federacy soon after its formation fur
nishes provocation, if any be necessary
There Is Sufficient Evidence.
The fact that it is matter of COM
mon knowledge that Cuba is in state
of war furnishes sufficient grounds for
this government to proceed, Mr. Brod-
erick says, even if Spain denies the ex-
istence of war. An organized army
making an organized revolt against the
government, in his opinion, is sufficient
to establish belligerency.
Speaking of the cause Of the Cubans,
Mr. Broderick says they have greater
cause to rebel against Spain than the
American colonists had for their revolu-
ton against Great Britain as every

A INDUSTRIOUS TRANSACTION.

Ninety-n nine years is the term of the
new lease of the North Carolina railroad.
1t is the most monstrously unfair trans
action to the State that this generation
has witnessed. 1t would have been bad
enough to have leased the road for thirty
years at this ridiculously low
figure, but it is crime for
which there is no excuse or paliation
to have leased it for three generations
at only one per cent more than was paid
for it twenty-five years ago.
The Southern and another road leases
the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
from Atlanta to Chattanooga, from
the State of Georgia for S35, 900
per month, or 1920, 900 per year. 1t is
131 miles in length. The Legislature of
Georgia passed an act authorizing this
lease, and the lease was drawn up in &C
cordance with the act of the Legislature.
The Georgia railroad, III miles with
branches making in all $50 miles, is
leased for 5000, cooper year. This road
is leased by the stockholders.
The Southern road pays rental Of
81, $50 per mile per year for the Airline
from Charlotte to Atlanta.
The North Carolina railroad is 223
miles long, and at seven per cent. the
lease will bring that State $3.50, 900, or a
triie over 81, 255 per mile or $500 mile
less than is paid for the Charlotte & At
lanta Airline, which Is part of the
same system as the North Carolina road.

Gently thought that the people were be-
coming potent even against corporations.
The ''snap" lease is distinct set back to
the people idea and will perforce renew
among the people suspicion of dan

partially sacrificed for ninety nine years,
and that too against their expressed OPP
position for two weeks. 1t is nothing
less than desperate and dangerous def
ance of the peoples wishes by corpora

THE DEED HAS BEEN DONE.

In the face of an almost unanimous
protest from the people, the directors of
the North Carolina Railroad have abused
the frost committed to them and have
leased the road for ninety nine years for
a ridiculously small increase over the
amount paid for the last twenty-five
years.
We had feared that the Directors had
determined to make a lease, not be-
cause any reason worthy the name had
been advanced in favor of it, but from
certain rumors that came to our ears.
But we never supposed they would be
guilty of leasing it for ninety nine years,
in face of the protest against it.
We are shocked that the Governor
should countenance proposition SO I'M
just to present and future generations.
We are grieved that the Board of Di-
rectors have entered into a contract by
which the railroad gets every advantage
that will come from the enterprise and
prosperity of the people of the State for
the next ninety nine years.
It is a blunder without excuse

Is 1T A BLUNDER OR A CRIME /,

The directors yesterday leased the
North Carolina Railroad for term of
ninety. niue years to the Southern Rail-
way.
The NEWS AND OBSERVER has pointed
out the objections to this "snapn lease,
made more than six years before the
present lease expires. Every newspaper
in the State that has spoken, with
three exceptions, has protested against
this hasty, ill-advised, unwarranted
and unwise ''snap" action by the direc-
tors. The majority of the stock in the
road belongs to the State, and the tax
payers, who built the road, had a right
to be permitted to pass upon the question
before any action was taken.
Thirty years ago, when the business
of the road was very small, a lease was
effected which paid only baga-
telle more than the interest on the
bonds issued for the construction of the
road. Now, when the population and
the business has greatly increased, and
the traffic is worth many times as much
as then, the Directors have hastily
rushed through lease that cannot be
too strongly cndemned. The action
was blunder that amounts to a crime.
The lease is for too long term of
years; the price paid is ridiculously
small; and The hasty and precipitate
action is not warranted by any existing
condition.
A transaction of such importance
a Board of Directors whose terms
will expire before the new lease can 60
into effect. While they may thus be
able to mortgage the future and bind the
State in law, it was transcending the
equitable management of the trust COM
mitttd to their keeping. If any reason
exists for action prior to the expiration
of the lease, three sessions OF
the Legislature will intervene before the
lease expires. The Directors are mere
creatures to do the bidding of the people
the legislators are their direct represen.
tatives. For the Directors to hastily and
and unnecessarily project their official
action long after the expiration of the
term for which they were appoint.

The Road to be Leased Again and Now

Charlotte Observer.
We accept as true the statement of the
Concord Standard, derived from Director
J. ?. Allison, that at their forthcoming
meeting the directors of the North Caro-
lima Railroad will extend the leaseof that
property to the Southern Railway Com
pany. We have understood all the while
that this was as good as settled and
have only desired to be on record
as opposing the extension of the lease
at this time. No good reason has yet
been given why a new trade should
be made six years before the expiration
of the present contract; no good reason
has been given why this road should
rent for 81, 106 per mile while the At
lanta & Charlotte Air Line rents for
$1,750. 1t does not look well that all
other bidders should be shut out and
that the State should tie itself up in a
contract which might be greatly bet
tered five years from now. 1t is some
thing that the bid is raised from 1-2 to
per cent, and it is also something that
the lease period is made so years instead
of so, but these considerations do not
compensate for the fact that if these
terms can be had now they can be had
at any other time in the future, with the
strong probability that great deal bet
ter can be done.
We do not know that there will be any
occasion to refer to the matter again; it
is quite clear that argument of it is idle;
but We cannot allow it to pass off with.

pressed convictions on the subject.

FIFTY years hence, if the Directors Of
the North Carolina railroad had not al
most given away the road, the State
would be getting four or five hundred
thousand dollars year for the lease.

show'i by this st~ry told by Washburne whe1- ne was in France: While present at a grand banquet in the Tuilleries, a new pair of shoes troubled him to suck a degree that he quietly pushed off one after the other, and was in his stocking feet, free from pain. Suddenly, at the close of the banquet, the emperor and empress rose to depart, whereupon GUS tom required the diplomats to rise and step back whilst the imperial pair passed down before them and down the banquet-room. It was not until Mir. Washburne found himself in line with his colleagues, that he realized that his shoes were under the table, but with out the least embarrassment he so dropped his napkin, that his stocking feet were hidden from view during this trying ordeal.
