PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBT.

Washington. April S. Senator Gear.
Of Iowa. to-day made a report on the
bill to authorize a commission consisting
of the Secretaries of the Treasury and
the Interior. and the Attorney General
to adjust the debts of the Pacific rail
roads to the government. The report
reviews i'll detail the financial condition
of the roads. and their relations to the
government. The bills for extending the
debts of the roads have failed to pass
Congress. it is said, because of its judg-
ment that the questions are so complicat-
ed that it could not devote the requisite
time to the consideration or reach salts
factory conclusions. Therefore the COM
mittee thinks it would be best to express
the wishes of Congress by a plan per-
hitting executive officers, with the APP
prevail of the President, to make an adj
justment with the owners Of the property.

PROF. GOODWIN WORTHY OF

CHARITY and Children.)

1t is gratifying to see that the Directors
of the Deaf and Dumb Institution at
Morganton have reelected Mr.. K. Mex.
Goodwin as Superintendent. They could
not have done otherwise and have been
true to the unfortunates in the institu-
ton, and ITO the State they were APP
pointed to serve, but there was rumor
in the air that Mr.. Goodwin was to be
displaced, and it is refreshing to see the
interests of speechless children placed
above the greed of partisan politics. Hail
and good day, gentlemen! You have
manfully served your State!

A sCANDALOUS PROGRAMME.

A special to the Charlotte observer
from Morganton contains the following
reference by physician who is trying t
get DR.. Murphy's place:
"Dr. Summerell, applicant for the
superintendency, stated here To-Day
that the plan was that in the event
the court decided against the new
trustees the Governor would appoint
the three new directors antagonistic
to DIR. Murphy, and they would pre-
fer charges of some kind. These be-
ing sustained would cause the removal
of DIR. Murphy"
Read the last two paragraphs over
slowly twice. 1t is here declared to be
the policy of these pie-hunters to do two
things, in the event the Supreme court
does not become a party to revolution:
| /. To prefer charges of some kind.
This can mean nothing except that these
free hooters would trump up some charge
by irresponsible, hungry jobseekers.
There isn't a man in the State of any
party who does not know that DIR. Muir
pry's administration has been clean, eff
ficient and such as to win universal COM
mendation. And yet there is little doubt
that some ''lewd fellow of the baser
sort" upon the intimation that the board
wants one to prefer charges of some
kind" could be induced to act upon the
suggestion.
>. To sustain these charges, which
would cause the removal of DIR. Muir
ply There is no idea of considerin g
and weighing such trumped up charges,
and deciding upon the facts as establish
ed under oath. Oh, no. That course
would vindicate DR.. Murphy. We are
told that these charges would be sus-
tanned" Certainly. That would make
jobs for faithful henchmen.
What about the insane? If one of
these new political manipulators ever
gave thought to the insane, or to any
thing else except making soft berths for
themselves and their followers, nobody
ever heard of it.
What are We here for except offices?'
is as truly their appreciation of the pub
lie trusts they hold as it was of Flanna-
gan in the Republican National conven-
ton.
AS to DR.. Summerell, an applicant for
superintendent, who seems to give out
the programme with his consent: we
do not know him and know nothing of
his standing as physician, but if he APP
proves any such plan as he outlined, he
advertises his own unworthiness by such
q course

THAT MONETARY REFORM.
The Indianapolis Crowd Says the Move
ment Needs a Hard Quick Push.

indianapolis, Ind, April S.-The exec
utive committee of the Indianapolis
Monetary Reform convention has asked
further aid of the commercial organiza-
tions of the country. Blank copies of
a petition are being sent out from this
city to the Secretaries of boards of trade
and other commercial organizations and
also to all who attend the convention as
delegates. The petition is addressed to
the Senators and Representative and
urges the necessity of reform in the ma
tional currency and banking legislation.
A letter accompanying this petition is
signed by III. II. Hanna, chairman. This
letter says:
1.-The members of the Senate and House
of Representatives need proof of public
demand for legislation upon the lines
the Indianapolis Monetary convention
instructed the executive cOmmitte to
urge. To secure to the President at this
extra session authority to appoint a COM
mission, a hard, quick push must be put
into the work. If the action is not taken
at the present extra session, the impor-
tant opportunity will be lost"
