FOR AFRICA.
California Orange Trees to BE Expert
mented with.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-SOme time
this week Secretary Lelong, Of the ISL
and horticultural board, will ship to
Cape Town, Africa, thirty-two young or
ange trees which have been ordered by
the Cape Colony government authori-
ties. The trees will go by way of New
York and London, and about fifty days
will be taken for the trip. The Cape
authorities have been taking great deal
OF interest lately in the question of or
ange culture, desiring very much to see
it established in their territory. They
have shown a special inclination to Sc
cure California stock for propagation
purposes, and two years ago ordered a
few trees from here. These made the trip
safely, most of them at least, and SO far
as is known have done we'll since. At
all events the authorities have been en-
couraged to order more.

TO SEARCH FOR PEARY.
Efforts to Secure "a Vessel Tor IA Rescu-
ing Party.

ing Party.
New BEDFORD, Mass, March 30.-Ef-
forts are being made this season to Sc
cure a vessel to carry party north to
search for and rescue Mr.. Peary and
party, who remained in Greenland after
the relief vessel last year brought down
Mrs. Pearv and the child born to her in
that high latitude. 1t is stated that the
cost of fitting the vessel and sending her
on the rescuing mission would be $l2,-
600, and doubts are expressed If that
amount can be obtained. 1t was thought
that an effort would be made to secure
the services of whaling vessel engaged
in Greenland or Hudson Bay whaletish-
ing to engage in the search Tor and rescue
of the Peary party. The only vessels
known which are going to Hudson Bay
this season are the barks A. L. Tucker
and Canton OF this port, OF which }. and
w. Il. Wing are agents. They are
whalers, and will sail about May l..
The agents of these vessels had inquir-
les some time ago in regard to engaging
in search for Mr.. Peary, but the an
swer was returned that the vessels were
only fitted out for Hudson Bay, which
is long distance from the icy north,
where the Peary party is supposed to
be, and since that time the agents have
heard nothing further in regard to the
search for and rescue of the explorer.

YANkTON AND SllETZ.
The Proclamation Opening These Kes-
er>atious prepared

erNatlOus frephiS
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Secretary
Smith to-day gave to the president
drafts OF two procIamations, opening to
settlement the lands coded by the lank-
ton Sioux Indians in South Dakota and
the Alsea and other Indians on the
Siletz reservation in Oregon. The pres
ident is expected to act Immediately on
these and issue the formal proclama-
tons within few days. The 1ankton
reservation embodies some OF the best
land in the state and there are $4,000
acres of the ceded lands. The procla-
nation provides that the lands shall be
subject to entry within thirty days OF
publication. Land officials do not ex-
pect rush for the lands, such as the
rush to the Oklahoma opening, and will
adopt measures tending to secure equal
treatment for all settlers. The agree
ment with the Ianktons provided for
the payment for surplus lands OF $780,
600 together with $40 for each male adj
ult of the tribe. The agreement with
the Sietz provides for the cesslon OF all
their unallotted lands, the total coded
territory covering $4,000 acres. The
compensation paid by the government
was 100000.
There are several other reservations
for which negotiations for opening to
settlement are being made, and the Nez
Perces lands in Idaho will probably be
among those made subject TO entry.

IN FAVOR OF OLYMPIA.
Ruling as to the Payment Of Special
Improvement Warrants.

OLYMPIA, Wash, April IA ruling
of considerable Importance to the tax
payers of Olympia has been handed
down by Judge Irwin. The decision
rendered was in the case of Thomas d
Co., Tacoma corporation, against the
city of Olympia. The cause of the ac-
ton was the failure of the city to pro-
vide fund for the payment of special
improvement warrants drawn on West
Fourth-street fund, and the damage to
the plaintiff of the amount of certain
warrants amounting to $500. The de-
murrer to this complaint was overruled
and two defenses set up for the action,
which showed the impossibility of col
lecting the assessments for such i'm
provement on account OF the irregulari-
ties of the assessments for this improve
ment; and that, at the time of the i'm
provement, the indebtedness of the city
exceeded the p per cent limit. The
court holds that as the contractor eX-
pressly waived the right to demand pay
ment from the city in any way different
from that agreed to in his contract with
the city, his remedy was writ OF
mandamus to compel the officers of the
city to proceed with diligence to provide
the special fund.

WABASH, Ind, April 2.-One night
last October a special train bearing
George Gould and party ran into car
riage owned by George Jones at Roam,
killing Jones and his team. Mrs. Jones
sued for $4,000, and the Wabash agreed
to pay her 5000. She would not accept
less than So, 200 and thus the negotia-
tions have held fire. Last night George
Gould offered to pay Mrs. Jones the diff
ference of 81 800, which was accepted.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 30.-Public

Latin America grows strong here. The
newspapers are now discussing the pos
sibility of an alliance between the Unit

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Ohio has regularly gone Democratic
every sixth year, and one of the United
States Senators has been a Democrat all
the time. 1t seems that many Ohio
voters have got into the habit of voting
the Democratic ticket once in six years.
If this habit is a confirmed one, this is
the year for the Democrats to win in
Ohio
Senator Brice is a nervy Spectator,
whether in stocks or in politics, and he
is usually successful in both. He got
the best of the VaIderbilts in railroad
matters, and if he can defeat Fire Alarm
Foraker he will show that bis luck has
not deserted him.
The nomination of Campbell is a
trump card. He is second to no man in
the country as popular campaigner,
made an excellent Governor, and is a
man of ability and character, combined
with great popularity. His nomination
is worth many thousand votes to the
party. If any man can win, Campbell
is the man, but with the great division
in the party on the silver question and
Brice's unpopularity, the odds are de-
cidedly against Democratic success.

*Durham was not established in 1870.

These figures, based upon the suppo-
sition that there will be no more actual
increase of population during either Of
the next five twenty year periods than
there have been during the past twenty
years, shed some light upon the reason
why the Southern wanted this long lease,
and why the State of North Carolina
should not have consented to part with
all the increase which the coming years
will bring. In this estimate Wake county
is put down in 1890 only at 117,157,
whereas 200, 900 will be short of the
population in this good county at that
time. Wake county tax payers ought to
get this increase, and not the Southern
or any other corporation. The increase
in Mecklenburg in twenty years has been
IS per cent; in Orange and Durham IS
per cent, and in the other counties it
has been nearly as large. 1t is wrong
to the coming generations to deny them
the increment which their industry and
enterprise will make.

THE STATE LOSES ALL THE IN
CREMENT.

The chief objection the News AND OBJ
SERVER has raised to the lease of the N.
@. r. f., is to the long term of ninety
nine years. This long term gives to the
Southern Railway all the increase of
business that comes from the growth of
population, whereas the State ought for
itself to enjoy this advantage. We had
hoped when a new lease was made, there
would be some provision that looked to
insuring the increased value of the road
to the tax payers who were taxed to
build it. When the new ninety nine
year lease expires, the population and
business along the line of the road will
be so much greater that the lessees will
have made an independent fortune out
of their new lease, and the State will get
nothing more in 1850 than it will get in
1900.
In 1870, the year before the lease, the
population of Alamance county was II,
$40 In 1890 the population of that
county had increased to IS, 271-or 53.87
per cent. If the increase during the
term of the lease is no greater during
any twenty years, the population at the
end of 100 years will be 50,256, but of
course it will be much greater. Let US
take look at few figures to show a
conservative estimate of the growth of
the other counties through which the
road runs:

TRINITY's ENDOWMENT.

The North Carolina Christian Advo-
cate publishes strong editorial in its
last issue urging the Methodists of the
State to exert themselves to increase the
endowment to Trinity College in order
to make it grow into greater usefulness
and efficiency. We quote one paragraph:
Mr.. Washington Dukes plan for the
endowment of Trinity College is reason
able and practicable. He says to all
North Carolina Methodists 'Let US
raise 1925, 900. You raise $75, 600 and
I will raise $50, 600" In other words,
he proposes to endow two chairs $685.
600 each-provided all North Carolina
Methodism besides will endow three
chairs. This is our opportunity. To
say the least of it, North Carolina Meth
odists oaght to raise this $75, 900 as an
evidence of appreciation Of what these
brethren at Durham have already done.

THE SOUTH GOES FORWARD.

Vice President st. John, of the Sea-
board system, who has been in New
York, was interviewed by the New York
Journal reporter, and he talked encour-
agingly and truthfully about the prog
ress of Southern enterprise. From his
long experience in immigration matters
Mr.. St. John thinks that it is ridiculous
for settlers to prefer such States as Kan
sas when they have their choice of farm
lands in Virginia, the Carolinas and
Georgia. The capitalists and business
men of New York have been among the
first, he says, to recognize the splendid
opportunities in the South, and they are
confident that the future field of indus
trial activity will be in this region. To
be convinced of this fact stranger has
only to visit the South and investigate
the situation. Hundreds of other oc-
equations are profitable here besides the
cultivation of cotton and cereals. The
fortunes of the future will be made in
the development of Southern mineral
and manufacturing resources. We have
cotton at our doors ready for the spin
ner, iron and other ores ready for the
and tobacco crops ripening for
the manufacturer. The efforts already
made show what can be done. Last year
a great North Carolina manufacturing
concern spent 100000 in advertising,
and the results were so satisfactory that
it has increased IFS advertising fund for
this year to $3.50, 900.

WAS mR. RANSOM REBUFFED ?

Our Washington correspondent quotes
the New York Sun as saying that Sena-
tor Ransom went to Buzzard's Bay, and
sent a telephone message that he would
like to see the President, and was sent
away without an interview, The Gin
cinnati Enquirer publishes similar
story from its New York correspondent,
but makes a Georgia Senator the persona
non grata. In the Enquirer's story the
statement is made that "a certain Geor
gia Senator recently travelled all the
way from New York to talk about sue
cessor to Supreme Court Justice Jackson
and he got what they call the marble
heart
Tbs special further says that the Presi-
dent refused to discuss official matters
at all and that he left Buzzard's Bay in
disgust, hiring team and driving FIVE
miles to Onset Beach.
Continuing the special says:
''If the telephone says Mr.. Cleve-
land cannot be seen, that settles it.
No use of trying to go to Gray Gables
and send in a card, for the Gray Gables
grounds are as closely guarded as it they
were the sub-treasury in Wall street
by secret service men dispatched there
by Chief Clerk Hazen, of Washington.
1t is almost as hard to get into them as
it is to get to heaven. Each guard is
twelve hours on duty, and his business
is to see that no one passes into the Gray
Gables grounds further than the stone
pillars, unless otherwise instructed, as
well as to guard the President from the
shots of possible cranks. /"
(Which we wish to remark, and our
language is plain" all this reads like a
fake of the latest sea serpent pattern.

THE SNAP LEASE.
Too Much Secrecy and For Too Long a
Term.


Chatham Record.
While it may be a good contract for
the State--indeed, granting that it is the
best that could have been made--yet we
cannot approve of the manner in which
it was made. There was too much mys-
terry and secrecy about it, reminding US
unpleasantly of the manner in which
BLOW Your Horn Billy Smith" made
the lease in 1871.
But while this contract may now be a
good one, yet fifty years from now it
may not then be considered a good one,
aud therefore we regret that the lease
was made for so long a term as ninety
nine years, which is practically sale.
1t is not surprising that so summary a
sale of such valuable property should be
severely criticised, and especially when
public opinion, so far as it could be as
certained before the lease was made, was
strongly opposed to it.
We do not for a moment think that
any director was improperly influenced
in voting for this lease, nor can we de-
nounce their action as ''the crime of the
century" because, in the first place, we
know them all to be gentlemen of high
character and str CT integrity; and in the
second place their contract now appears
to be a good one, and it may be the best
that could have been made.

A Crime Against the State.

Scotland Neck Democrat.
This transaction is regarded by the
majority of the people of the State, re
gardless of party or politics, as crime
against the State.
Indeed it was none of their rights to
oyerstep their duty in binding the State
in a contract for so long time when
their own term of Office will expire be-
tore the present lease will expire,
And tosay nothing about these things,
it was not right for these directors to
dispose Of the property as they did when
the people of the whole State opposed it.
Almost every newspaper in the State,
regardless of its politics, spoke out
against the transaction before it was
made.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

Look on this picture:
The gold coin in the Treasury on the
day that Mr. Harrison was inaugurated
amounted to 1929, 1856, 899, and the gold
bars to 800, $40, 100, making total of
1926, 456, sos. If we deduct from this
the amount of gold certificates outstand-
ing-$130, 21O, 717-we have as the gold
reserve Cleveland left to Harrison $780,
245, 9s1.
And now on this
When Cleveland came back in 1893,
amount of the gold coin and bars amount
ed to $2t7, $40, 947, the gold certificates
in circulation amounted to STA, 1893, 729,
leaving $103, 284,218 as a balance, the
difference in favor of the Democratic
administration being $92, 96t, 1903

A Libel on Druggists.

Charleston News and Courier
A druggist magazine tells this simple
and affecting little story illustrative of
one of the phases of our everyday life:
"An old gentleman who was hard of
hearing went in to have prescription
filled. AS it was handed to him he asked
the price. "Seventy-fve cents, " was the
reply Of the druggist. The deaf gentle
man thereupon laid nickel on the coun-
ter. 81 said seventy-fye cents" ex-
claimed the druggist, still unconsciously
placing the accent on the word FIVE 81
understand" was the reply, land there's
your five cents" "Well, " impertinently
remarked the druggist, ego on, | cleared
three cents eff you anyway" Whether
the story is intended for a joke or is a
narrative of cold facts is not stated.

decrease in the present year is $4,000.

permission to land and were returned to
