THE ONE BLOT.

A gentleman who landed here by
the Australia expressed himself as
much pleased and surprised with
the appearance of the city. He
praised its natural situation, spoke
highly of its buildings, electric
light system, telephone system and
so forth. He was struck with the
appearance of the stores and the
general air of go aheadness about
the place. But" he said, Seeing
how energetic you are, 1 cannot
understand how you have such an
out of date car system. /"
The misfortunes that we labored
under were detailed to him and he
was told that the money was ready
for building an electric line as soon
as franchise could De obtained.
but are there no complaints ?" he
asked. "Oh yes, there are COM
plants but the only result marked
yet is, that the management have
given up sweeping out their cars. !"
The above is a fact. The Star
has frequently pointed out that the
tram car system is an actual detri-
ment to the city, besides being
disgrace to it. The cars are obso-
1ete, the service bad and the man
agement disobliging, Here was
gentleman whose letters were 60
ing to be spread before hundreds of
thousands of readers and the first
blot he pitched upon was the tram
car system. Let the electric car
company be up and doing. The
present tram car company, has
numbered the earth too long with
its Noah's Arks and its broken
down stock.

AUSTRALIAN VIEWS.

The Australian have a consider
able amount ofsympathy with Haw-
ali in the matter of Japanese i'm
broglio. According to an article
in the Sydney Morning Herald
there has been threat of Japanese
immigration to the Australian col
onies some five years ago, and
wholesale immigration from that
source is not looked upon with
equanimity by the colonists. The
threat of poll tax upon japanese,
as there has been levied upon Chin
csc will have or has had the effect
of keeping japanese from Austral-
ian shores.
The Herald points out how nee
cessary emigration is to Japan with
its forty-two millions of people and
only one hundred and forty eight
thousand square miles of territory.
The acquisition Of Formosa and
the Pescadores Islands has been OF
little or no assistance as an outlet,
for it is stated that Formosa is al
ready thickly populated, having
about $50 people to the square mile.
How necessary emigration is to
Japan was shown in the news col
umns of this paper the other day.
People must be very anxious to EN-
igrate if 1000 of them are willing
to leave their homes, take the long
voyage to Brazil and contract to
work there for five years at thirty
shillings a'month wages, one fourth
of which is to be paid on the expir-
alton of the contract. Since thirty
shillings is princely salary of rath-
er less than seven and a half dollars
per month, these laborers are going
to work considerably cheaper than
ever they have done here.
The Colonial papers see one dan
ger ahead of them. The threat
that if Japanese are kept out Of the
Colonies, Australians will be kept
out of japan they care very little
for. But complications with re-
gard to England's action in the
East trouble them and as the Her
aid puts it, the growth of questions
of large interests which have grown
up since the war may be hampered
by a misunderstanding between
the Colonies and Japan on the ques-
ton of Asiatic immigration.

The conservative path is sure.
That is point upon which we all
can agree. But it is the surety
that goes comfortably to sleep
while the rest of the world moves,
If the world had always remained
conservative the American colonies
would be American colonies still
and the United States be unheard
of, and even going further back
Conservatism would have kept us
dressed in skins or for the matter
of that attired in natures garb.
The people who are not conserva-
tive are people who may make mis-
takes, but their mistakes are the
forerunners of great progress and
great certainties. If it were not
for some dash and enthusiasm we
might go to sleep with Rip Van
Wrinkle and awake to find ourselves
with rotten gun stock and the
skeleton of a dog, while the world
had meantime been marching on
and the liberty pole had taken the
place of King Georges crown.

Linney Expected Here To-day to be

"He-said- hed-think-it-oyer
The speaker was Republican who bas

night and day, in season and out Of sea-

AS he said this there were pain, yexa-

interview in the News and Observer with
a prominent Republican.
1t seems that the Senator is still conf

kindly to the suggestion and dismissed it
with promise to think it over.
But the outsiders were not so easily sat
isfied on this point and Linney's name was
heard more than once yesterday where
two or three Republicans were gathered
together to discuss the situation.

ito receive any sudden honor in the way of
a candidacy that may be thrust upon
him.
While no Republican acknowledges the
possibility OF Pritchard's defeat there are
two things, my informant tells me, being
urged in Liney's favor. These are:
First, that he is good silver man,
and though dyed-in-t -the-wool Republi-
can, he will be perfectly acceptable to
the Populsts.
Second, even if Pritchard is elected CO.
operation with the Populists is forever
destroyed; with Linney 1t can be preserv-
ed What influence facts will have on
Pritchard and a majority of the Republi-
cans, if indeed they will have any, can
not say. One ardent Pritchard man said
last night that he would stay in the race,
even If he didn't have FIVE men left to
vote for him, and they all swore by the
Eternal that he would be elected when
the time for joint ballot comes.

AS TO FLOGGING SEAMEN.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Frye,
chairman of the committee on Commerce,
who drew the provisions Of the substitute
for the House bill 2663 which has passed
the Senate says that the provisions OF
the bill cannot be construed to mean the
restoration of fogging on the high seas.
The provisions Of the bill as it passed the
Senate is as follows:
Every master or other officer OF an
American vessel on the high seas or any
other waters within the admiralty and
maritime jurisdiction of the United States,
who without justifable cause, beats,
wounds or imprisons any of the crew
of such vessel or withholds from them
suitable food and nOurishment, or in
ficts upon them any cruel and unusual
punishment, shall be punished by fine
OF not less than one thousand dollars or
by Imprisonment not more than five years
or both"
The provision in the House bill was as
follows:
Every master on other officer Of any
American vessel on the high seas, or on
any other waters, within the admiralty
and MARITIME jurisdiction Of the United
States. ei9a giifally beats or wounds or
without -jnstifiable cause imprisons any
Of the crew of such vessel or withholds." >"
Senator Frye says that the House bill
w0uld allow any sailor to attack the
master or other officer and that he would
not be allowed to defend himself or his
vessel. The sailors through attorneys
have insisted that the Senate bin would
restore fiogging, but Senator Frye says
that it cannot be construed in any such
manner
