Confederation of states are the order
of h day now. The Australian colo
MES are organizing a confederation
to be closely modelled after the consti-
tuition of the United States. This is
the beginning of a movement that will
LEAD finally to complete independence
of Great Britain. The confederation
formed will have a complete, independ-
ent home government of their own. The
independence may not come soon. But
before another century ends, with it's
vast growth and its power so stupen-
dously increased, it will be completely
segregated from British rule we do not
doubt, and the same thing will come
to Canada. 1t may be deferred for two
or three generations more, but it Will
come at last.

A Mysterious Valfse.

New York, Tune pa large black
leather valise was found in the woods
north of the Harlem river yesterday.
In the valise was found a black suit of
clothes tina would fit a man Of ordina-
ry size. The other contents Of the va
lise were two small states, some white
paper, a pad, a barrel-shaped box
that may have held candy, two shirts,
a suit of underclothing, a pair of
stockings, a o of The Progressive
Thinker, a Chicago publication, dated
June 18th; a piece of hempen cord, Az
feet long and a piece Of wrapping paper
with "Emporia, Virginia." on it. The
valise awaits an owner at police head
quarters. 1t was found two and a
half miles from the place where the
lower part of the murdered mans
body was found on Sunday and it was
at first thought that there may have
been some connection between the va
liSe and the victim. However, h po-
lice said there was no reason for be-
lieving the valise belonged to any par
ticipant in the tragedy. They still
think the valise is no clue, and will be
glad to have the owner come forward
and claim his lost property.

SHARPS AND FLATS.

In Mexico there is to be planted in
the future a large japanese colony.
Leastwise, we suppose the attempt will
be made. A japanese nobleman has
obtained a large grant of land. Some
%colonists have already arrived. it is
said. The experiment to be made is
the cultivation of tea and coffee. 1t is
believed that the climate and soil Of
Mexico are well adapted to the pro-
duction Of these greatly relished house
hold articles. The Japs are industrious
and inventive. Japan has made i'm
mense strides within thirty years
greater than any other nation. OF all
countries on the North American con-
%t!nent, Mexico perhaps leads in ad-
vancement during the last decade or so.
Cannot tea and coffee be successfully
produced in parts of Texas and
Florida?

The North Carolina people need to be
aroused upon several subjects other
than education. They need to learn
the Importance Of raising everything
consumed by them. They need to
learn to make their home
They need to be taught how very i'm
pOrtant it is to have good roads. They
pay to cultivate any but improved
lands. They need to learn that only
capable and honest men are properly
qualified to be pubic servants. But
probably the road building deserves
very special attention. After educa-
ton, it is perhaps the uppermost ques-
ton for them to consider. The building
of good roads is a positive necessity.
A really good road law is what the
state needs. A law is needed hat will
insure a general movement in all of the
ninety-six counties in behalf of road
building-wil set the machinery to
work all owe the state. The convicts
of North Carolina should be utilized
as the road builders. We notice that
our able contemporary at Norfolk, Va,
The Pilot, is urging the roa question
with it's usual force and earnestness.
1t recently said of it's state:
I'VE want no more mere Dad talk;
we want more than mere Legislative
acts; and We must have laws that will
direct and compel efficient actiOn-ac-
tual work Of Improvement on the
roads"
1t urges the use of the cOnvicts and
the " jailbirds" as well. 1t insists that
this, or an equally good system, should
be infleXibly imposed On Every county,
without exception, with full liberty,
however, to supplement it as may seem
best by the supervisors of every
county"

Considering that last year the muir
ders and homicides in the United States
are known to ia exceeded 10, 1000, and
in six years have reached sc, 900, the
hangings by Judge Lynch have not
been SO numerous as some think. They
are less now than ten or twelve years
ago. In 1885 they were 1874; in 1891, 176;
in 1892, 235; in 1898, 200. But in 1896
they were but 141. We grant that they
were 141 too many. sui crime had in
creased greatly, from $500 or 5000 a
few years ago to more h TO- 900 in
1896. The number of hangings by the
regular courts was but little Over
100. If you suppose that the south
alone is guilty you are mistaken. Last
year Colorado had four lynchings,
Idaho l, Illinois l, Indiana l, Mime
sofa Z, New York 1, Indian territory 3,
and Oklahoma Z. We la no doubt if
the number of rapes perpetrated in the
south were perpetrated in New Eng
land and the middle states that the
most furious excitement would be
aroused and would be followed by
lynchingS as cruel as that lately Oc-
curing at Urbana, Ohio, McKinley's
and Mark Hanna's state.

PASSING MuTILATEo COIN.
New Law Makes IL a Criminal Offense
md ProYIdea PennIties.

Washington, March 27.-Letters by
the bushel have been pouring in on the
treasury department asking for infor-
nation concerning the new law in rela-
ton to the passing of mutilated coin,
although those seeking the information
might, in "a majority of cases. have Sc
cured il from the United States district
attorneys or secret service officers of
their respective localities. In brief it
may be explained that the law is in the
main an extension of that against coun-
terfeiting. 1t provides that the pass
ing of mutilated or defaced coins, or
the mutilation and DETACHMENT of coin
for any purpose shall he held to be
criminal offense, punishable by impris-
oument for period of one TO five years
and fine of 500 to So. 600. Under this
law the practice of presenting ladies
with coins of gold or silver. with the
initials of the donor engraved thereon,
to be worm as bangles, is a criminal Of
Tense. The law also drives out of bust
ness a number of people who have made
good living by purchasing mutilated
coins at a reduction from their face
value and plugging up the holes so skill
fully that the original mutilation could
not be discovered. Even this kind of
tampering with the money of the gov
eminent will be regarded as an offense
under the statute

Powers Not I'm Concert Regarding
Crete-Crown Prince 10 the Front.
London. March 80. - The Graphic
gives prominence to statement which
it claims to have received from an I'M
questionable source, to the effect that
the Greek situation is extremely grave.
Crown Prince Constantine from Athens
TO take command of the troops in Thes-
sally, the dieseems to have been cast. War
would be inevitable IL Greece recalled
her army. 1t would march to Athens
and dethrone the king. The most Sc
rious element of the situation is the un-
doubted fact, despite denials, that the
concert of the powers is no longer solid.
There has not been an actual rupture,
but the members have come 10 the con-
clusion that concerted action is a fail
ure. The statement ascribes the posi-
ton to the impatience of the powers
with Greece's reck ess conduct and
Great Britain's red uctanee TO coerce
her. The powers will not accept Lord
Salisbury's proposal for the establish
ment of n neutral zone.
AsepOTtS from various places IN tTete
show that there is not the slightest inn
provement in the condition of affairs
in that island. The fighting between
the Moslems and the Christians con-
tinues, and the burning Of villages is a
matter of daily occurrence. There is
no prospect of any betterment in the
situation. 1t is apparent that the bonn
bardment of the Christians by the for
eign warships is merely waste of shot
and shell. When the insurgents are
scattered by the fire from the warshlps
they disperse, only to reappear shortly
after in some other place in the vicinity.
London, March 29.-The Sun pub
fishes dispatch from Athens saying
that Crown Prince Constantine finally
started for the frontier on Thessaly
Saturday evening. The fact that he
was to leave TO assume command of the
Greek forces which are now confront
ing the Turks on the frontier became
known to the public some time previ-
Gus to his departure. The streets in
the vicinity of the palace were jammed
with people, who frantically acclaimed
the crown prince when he appeared.
The widest enthusiasm was every
where displayed, and the crowds shout
ed for war until they were hoarse.
