AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT.


The bill was introduced in the Sen
ate Monday to amend section 1868
Of the Code. 1t simply provides that
when any railroad company shall
wilfully violate the provisions of that
section or shall fail to abserve the
provisions by such gross negligence
as shall indicate wanton disregard
of the duties of the corporation or of
the rights Of the person injured, such
company shall be liable to exemplary
damages. 1t seems to US that this is
proper, otherwise these companies
can make profit Of their wilful disre-
gard of their duties or of the right,
Of others. The supreme court by an
unanimous opinion in the case of
Purcell VS. X. X. in the 10S volume of
N. G. reports held that this section
1868 already authorized jury to
impose exemplary damages for such
wilful or wanton diregafd by any
COMPANY of its duties. But by q
very recent decision the majority Of
the court changed that ruling andheld
that the section, as it stands, does
not authorize the jury to impose ex-
emplary damages for wilful and
wanton violation of the law. This
bill seeks to put into the section, in
unmistakable language the provis-
ion which the court saw in it at first
In the 1lth section of the railroad
commission act it is expressly provi-
ded for any wilful violation of the
rules and regulations of the Commits

of things that such a company should
be liable to exemplary dangers for I
violation of the regulations of tn

not be So liable for a wilful an,
wanton violation of the regulation
prescribed by law. AS the court il

Why should the terms of the sale
be kept from that public, if those
terms were open and honesti The
truth seems to be, that the parties
to it knew that the contract was thor
oughly dishonest; and they under
stood that the public would never al
low its consummation, if they were
permitted to know its terms in ad
vance.
But this is not yet all. The bonds
We're secretly cold to foreign syn

had no opportunity to take up this
loan and keep its interest here at

Of those foreign money lenders, who
already own all the national debts o.

A CRIMINAL TRANSACTION

The following figures, in connec-
ton with the late bond sale are very
instructive. We take them from the
Atlanta Constitution:
Bought from the government by
Belmont and Morgan bonds to the
amount of $62,315,O0O, at 1O4.49-
500, 1898. Belmont and Morgan
sell those bonds in the open market
at 1l2 $3.50. 94S,5S7. Belmont and
Morgan's profit, 1885, The
general public bought $62, 315, 900 at
11S-$73,53l, 200. Inside jobbers
profit, $3.5S3.113. Loss to the Unit
ed States, So, 4lS,757.
The above figures show that Mr..
Cleveland sold those bonds to a for
eign syndicate at loss to the tax
payers of the United States of near
ly eight and half millions of dol
lars. But the mere loss to our tax
payers is nothing, in comparison
with the debauching methods en-
ployed by Mr.. Cleveland and his
Secretary to bring about the result.
We call attention to these outrage
Gus methods.
The first fact that strikes the care
full observer of this transactit n is,
the employment of Mr.. Stetson, Mr..
Cleveland's former law partner to as
sist in the negotiation This man, the
sometime business associate of pres
dents is called to Washington to as
sist in bond sale, that loses the gov
eminent more than eight millions OF
dallars hard cash. What the gov
eminent loses in this transaction is
made by the syndicate, and their in.
side friends. How much of it did
Mr.. Stetson pocketq What was the
motive of the Chief Magistrate in EN-.
ploying Mr.. Stetson? These are
questions that honest tax payers
would like to have answered.
But the employment of Mr.. Stet
son is not the only suggestive feat

with Cleveland and Carlisle in thu
night. The matter was discussed
and the terms of the deal were al
arranged in the night, when the peo
pie who lose these millions were
asleep in their beds. When they
awoke in the morning it had beer
arranged to give those bond sharks
more than eight millions of theil
money outright, besides saddline
them and their children with the
principal and interest of q debt tina,

But this is not all. The terms OF

THEY TRY TO TAKE 1T.

The Co-operationlsts passed a
bill through the legislature on last
Monday TO reduce the rate Of inter
est to six per cent: IN this State.
The Democrats took every turn
that ingenuity could take, TO
kill the bill by hostile amend
ments. But when they saw they
they could not kill it, many Of
them-like the political towards they
are-voted for the bill on its final
passage. This was mean. But this
was mild meanness by the side of an
attempt made in the News and Oh.
server Of Tuesday, TO steal the credit
OF the introduction of the bill. The
News and Observer prints the text of
the new interest law, and heads IT:
SENATOR ABELL's BILL A LAW"
Senator Abel did offer an interest
reduction bill in the Senate earl y in
the session. There were several 9th
or bills upon the same subject, as we
are informed, offered and referred &c
the committee. The bill that be
came law the other day was substi
tuted for Abell's bill blythe committee
and when this substitute was before
the Senate, we are told, that the re
cord will show that Senator Abel
voted against it. These are the facts
rs they have been given to US by thos'
who know them. And yet the New
Il Observer tries to make the publi
believe that the State owes the inter
est law to the agency Of a Democrat
IL would be mean to steal tn
smallest material thing of value
and the News q Observer wOul
condemn the theft in commo
with the rest of us. And yet
that paper allows its partizan dc
votion to so blind it to the perceI
ton of the elements of morals, a
make it capable of taking the cred
of another, and of attempting to us
it for its own party advantage.
This same News and Observer, !,
it be remembered, is the Journalist
Pharisee, that has been giving it o,
rs fact, that it was above all OIL
ers, the representative of the vel
highest business, social, and polit
cal virtue of the State. Pretty re
resen alive of political virtue or
any other kind OF virtue, that vi
take and use the credit of anOthe
however slight, for the promotion
its own good. Pretty representa-,
of virtue, indeed!
We ask the fair-minded Democra
in North Carolina-and there a
many of them to consider, if tn,
can afford to believe anything p
per may say, that is capable of d
ing what the News IL Observer h
