directet the killing of Arroyo, the

ing of Don Eduardo had sent him

purchased.
CITY OF MRxIeo Sept. 24-Ex-Ia-
spector General Of Police Edurdo
Velasquez has taken his life in Belem
prison. The inspector blew his
brains out with a revolver. He was
proud man, excee d ngly reserved.

very ambitious, his rise from humb
position through various posts to the
command of the police having suf-
ficen.ly rapid to attract attention to
him as a man Of great talent. He

Spatn Has no Allies

MADRID, Sept. 22.-It is learned
here on reliable authority that Spain
has little to hope from European
powers if the United States should
interfere in behalf of Cuba. The
United States Ambassadors to Eo-
ropean courts, acting under instruc-
tions, haye already ascertained the
attitude of these powers, and it is
found that all, except Austria, re-
cognizes that the interests of the
United States justify the latter's in
reference in Cuba. Austria in this
matter is Influenced by the relation
ship between the two dynasties, the
Queen Regent Of Spain being an
Austrian Archduchess, but it is not
likely that Austria will take any
part in the question beyond possibly
making q diplomatic protest against
the Intervention of the United States.

| The new SCHOOL Law
WILL GREATLY IMPROVE THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS WITHOUT ANY EXTRA
TAXATION.

cAtlOn SayS-EverY True Friend OF Edu
cation Will Support The New Law-OnIy
Partisan Politicians Will Oppose 1t
The Township Feature is Essential.
"The North Carolina Journal of
Education" is edited by Democrats,
but they put the interest of public
education ard the welfare Of the
State above any petty party pur-
poses. They know that the new
school law is right and necessary to
improve our public schools, there
fore they defend the law, though
the machine politicians oppose it..
The following is leading editorial
in the last issue of the North Caro-
lima Journal of Education:
"Objections to the change in the
school law from the district to the
township system were Of course ex-
pected. There are the professional
objectors that oppose everything,
and the small partisan politician
that will try to make political out of
everything. These is not worth
while to answer, for it they would not
be persuaded though one rose from
the dead.
But there were good reasons why
changes should be made, and they
will commend themselves to all who
desire the advancement of popular
education. and not prejudiced
against any change just because it
is q change, and because they be-
lieve that no good things can come
out of Nazareth-Nazareth being
their political opponents.
FIRST and foremost, local taxation
was impossible under the old district
system. The white districts and the
colored districts did not coincide. A
tax could not be levied upon the
whites for their schools, and upon
the negroes for theirs. This had
been tried in North Carolina and our
Supreme court declared it unconsti-
tutional. In order to levy local ia Z
the same territory must constitute
one school district for white and col
ored. With one school district there
can be only one school committee fol
the schools of both races.
But there were other objections
The district system was really
county system. The school commit
teemen really did nothing but EN-
ploy teachers. The establishment
of schools was regulated by a coun
ty board that did not represents al
parts of the county. This was TIVE
large territory for one small boart
to supervise.
| AS a result, too many school house
were erected and school funds were
largely wasted by being divided NJ
too much, and being PRACTICAL!
without supervision. Among tn
army of school committeeman re
quired by the old law were many in
d fferent and many incempeten
mem bers, and numbers of school of
fcers that could not write thei
names.
Under the new law saving vii
be made in not apportioning tn
funds to each school, white and col
ored, according to the school popula
ton. The township commi.teemel
are r, quired to give all children Q
!, their townships equal school taci,
tiles, or, at least, equal length Q
school term. But ali teachers ar
not of quail ability nor are all school
of 1al grade. and much none
will be saved by paying teachers az
cording to ability aud the characte
of work done.

MONOPOLY THE WINNER.
Bell Telephone Company Gets . Deeisie
in It's Famous Suit.

Bell Telephone Company Gets Deciston
in Its Famous Suit.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Bell
Telephs,ae company won the case
brought againsti it by the United States
to annul the last Rcrliner patent. This
decision has the effect Of continuing
the control Of the telephone by the Bell
company for ~ years, from date of the
last patent, which was granted in 1899.
The government asked to have the
patent Of 1891 set aside on the ground
that the delay of 13 years in the patent
Office was fraudulent and through the
fault Of the telephone company and
that the patent issued in 1880, covered
the same ground on which the new
patent was applied for in 1891. The
court. in its opinion delivered by JUS
tice Brewer, held that there was no
evidence Of corruption or undue in.
fluence exercised over the patent Office
by the telephone company, and that
there was no evidence that the delay
in granting the patent had been
brought about by the company. It
held that whatever delay there had
been was through the fault Of the
patent Office, and by no fault Of the
company.
Justice Harlan dissented from the
opinion. Justices Gray and Brown, it
was announced, took no part in the
case, presumably because they were
interested,

SENT TO CONFERENCE.

House Nonconcurs in Senate Amend.
ments to the sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON. May l2.-The consid.
Grafton Of the senate amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill has
been finished by the house and the bill
sent to conference. President Cleve.
lands forest reservation order was the
subject Of much debate and the house
voted-100 to 39-not to concur in the
senate amendment to annul the order
with the understanding that the con-
ferees should arrange an amendment
which would have the same effect.
The most interesting debate was on
the appropriation of $50, 900 to improve
Pearl harbor in the Hawaiian Islands
which was rejected by vote of Us to 53.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman Of the appropri.
ations committee, moved to nonconcur,
and was warmly opposed by Mr.. Hit,
chairman Of the last foreign affairs
committee. Mr.. Sayers Of Texas and
Mr.. Hilborn of California supported
Mr.. Cannon, while Representatives
Cummings Of New York, Simpson Of
Kansas and Henry Of Connecticut
favored the appropriation. Mr.. Cum.
mings and Mr.. Henry expressed the
hope that before Mckinley went out
the United States flag would fly over
Hawaii.
Comparatively few Republicans were
present and the vote was nearly a
party one. Half dozen Democrats
and Populists, including Messrs. Cum
mings IN. w., Tate (Ga.), King
(Utah), and Populists Simpson and
Ridgely Of Kansas voted to concur and
about a dozen Republicans voted not to
concur.

Speaking about protection puts me
in mind. We all want protection.
But do we get it! Even when the
tariff is raised! In order to get it
we must watch transportation rates.
Under decision of the u. S. court
we are partly at the mercy Of trans
portation. A case was brought at
New Orleans some time ago, and the
facts, as disclosed, showed that the
railroads carried boots and shoes at
different rates to San Francisco.
For boots and shoes aud other mer-
chandise manufactured at New Or.
leans. or !sold by jobbers there, the
rate to San Francisco was 1907 per
hundred. But for imported boots
and shoes and other merchandise Of
similar class the rate was $l.O7. The
Supreme Court sustained this meth.
cd of transportation. do not know
the reasons for it. do not care to
know them. My care is to point out
that the principle or expedient of
national protection is defeated in
part by the decision.-Governor Pin.
