Special to Daily Leader.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20 After briefly
touching upon the pension depart
ment, Secretary Bliss IN his annual re-
port just issued says that while the
opening OF the Wichita reservation in
Oklahoma would greatly promote the
development OF the country, yet in
view OF the unsettled condition OF the
questions affecting their rights, until
there is further legislation, he does
not see how il can be done without
causing great injury aud distress. To
guard against this, recommendation is
made that the Dawes commission be
authorized to investigate questions as
20 their rights and claims and report
recommendations for speedy and just
settlement

We preach no sermon ON the ethics Of
the fraud practised. Some sermons are
preached without words. This practice
carries its own condemnation. 1t also
carries the truth that folks who have a

STATE NEWS.

The Grafton delivered by Adolphus Hill
Eller, Esq. of Winston, on THE New
University" on June 9Th, 1895, has been
printed in pamphlet form. 1t is one of the
most eloquent orations delivered in the
State in this decade
Sundays Goldsboro Argus was eight
pages, and contained a history of the
graded schools of that city. The Colds
boro school is a model institution and the
Argus does well to present its excellence
to the world.
Collisions postmaster and railroad
agent are both girls. They are Misses
Lizzie and Rosa Womble, daughters Of
Thomas n. Womble, who died about
year ago and who was both postmaster
and railroad agent. And yet, because
their father was a Democrat the postof-
fee is to be taken away from this most
deserving young lady and given to stall
wart man. 1t does indeed seem sad and
shameful that any political party should
be so lost to all sense of common human
ity as to thus take bread out of the
mouths of fatherless girls and helpless
widows.-Chatham Record.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Important Opinion Touching Election Of
County Superintendent.

The State Board of Health is composed
of nine members. Five of these are APP
pointed by the Governor and four are
chosen by the State Medical Society. One
of the Governors appointees must be
a civil engineer.
Yesterday the following names were
given out as appointees of the Governor:
Chas. J. O'Hagan, of Pitt county; Col.
A. w. Shaffer, of Raleigh; Dr. j. /.
Nicholson, of Richlands; Dr. J. d. Spicer,
of Goldsboro; DR.. Il. II. Lewis, of Raj
eigh.
All Of these are new members except
DR.. Lewis, who has made one Of the
best and most efficient officials on this
board the State has ever had. He has
for n long time been secretary of the
hoard and in that capacity has done
some very valuable work. Col. Shatfer Is
the civil engineer.
The Medical Society will choose its four
representatives ON the board at its meet
ing at Morehead in June.
Touching the election of a County Su-
perintendent of Health, Attorney General
Walser yesterday gave out the following
important opinion in reply to letter
of inquiry from the county attorney OF
Catawba county:
Your communication of recent date re-
ouesting my opinion, as to whether the
commissioners for Catawba county, who
failed to elect County Superintendent of
Health on the first Monday i'll May, as
is required by Section 1 chapter POI,
I.ews 1897. amending Section of chap
ter pa. Laws 1893, and when their term
of office begins, has been received. 1t
would seem that the failure of the COM
missioners to elect may be remedied by
holding an election at some other meet
ing. and that the commissioners are not
functi officio, but still have the power
to act in the premises-treating the time
fixed in the act as merely directory.

SATURDAYS EPISODE IN SENATE
Speaker Reeds JOcose Remarks Prompt
ed Senator Morgan'S Attack.
(Alfred Henry Lewis in y. Y. JournaD

(Alfred Henry Lewis in y. Y. JournalD
Cyclops Tillman did not repeat the Sen
ate threshing horrors of yesterday, yet
the session was not without its incident
of rancorous war. Morgan failed Walrus
Reed. OF late on one or two iocose pri-
vate occasions WaIrus Reed has waxcd
sharply merry over Morgan. and told how
Morgan would arise in yhc Scuate and
talk to aimself:' that such as Morgan
were the lichcu-coycred monuments OF the
heretofore; that they were representative
only of the mistakes of fifty years ago:
that they subsisted as the mnrest fiat
boats Of legislation, moored bow and stern
to the l6vcc of affairs, rocking and rising
on the slow currents of the Senate.
Morgan did not Exc this Of Walrus
Reed; he plainly had no gust for such sim
lies applied to him. Morgan would not
be called Aatboat today; Walrus Reed
in some expansion of spirit might call
him Il mud-scow tomorrow. The two
crafts were only an aquatic foot apart.
Thus befel that, H. retaliation, Morgan
applied the torch Of his fiery disregard to
Walrus Reed and singed him beautifully.
1t made Il sharp stir at the time, and
dozen statesmen, Hale and Frye, in the
lead, mixed themselves with the fracas.
Il was IA fashion of Senate DOnnybrook.
Quay. the crafty. had made motion
to adiOurn-when the Senate should adj
journ-until Tuesday. Monday was Deco
ration Day. Quay. who was rampant
among cantcens and cracker boxes acs

RANT patriotism of a highly martial sort
Naturally Quay aimed to be with his old
battle-battered comrades and talk of
cracker boxes he had emptied and jack
pots he had won. Therefore he Quay
asked that the Senate adjourn until
Tuesday.
Vest was sourly willing. Jones was COM
PLEASANT. Pettus was anxious, and Nor
gan most headlong of all to Quay's natur-
al and patriotic adjournment. But when
Morgan was at it he wanted to take this
occasion to say that the House was not
conducting those pipe dreams it called
sessions according to HOyle and the Con-
stitutOn 1.-THE Household long ago
made a rule to adjourn from Monday to
Thursday and then to Monday again.
This rule was an illegal trap door,

constitutional fact was the House was
not in session at all. Ergo, went on Nor

WOMEN CAN'T GET DEGREES AT
CAMBRIDGE.

While here in North Carolina Elon Col
lege has succeeded as a co-educatlonal IN
stitution: Trinity College has determined
next year to open it's doors to women on
equal terms with men; the University has
nassed q resolution to admit women to its
post graduate department, and the whole
trend with us is toward giving women
an equal chance with their brothers, there
seems little of that spirit across the wa
tiers.
The Senate of the University of l<m-
bridge. which is the governing body of
that institution by a vote of LIS to co.
refused to admit women to the degree of
bachelor of arts. That decision was not
reached until after a three days debate.
We are told shat whole the polling was
going ON thousands of undergraduates as
sembled and amused themselves by
pelting one another with fireworks, CON
fetti. squibs, bombs, bags of flour and
blue eggs" Large posters bearing the
placard. THE varsity for men, and men
for the varsity" were exhibited, and no.
tees were posted with the words, Lee
lures on Hats-Latest Designs while
a sheet sixty feet wide bore this charm
ing inscription: Get you to Girton,
Beatrice; get you to Newnham Here's no
place for maids"
1t is difficult to imagine how,
in the classic atmosphere of an
old university town, the simple
proposition to permit women who
fulfil the conditions that are prescribed
for men to receive the title of bachelor
of arts, with the right of winning master
of arts and titles of doctor in science or
ldtters-we say it is difficult to under
stand why such a simple proposition
should raise such an uproar and occasion
such rowdyism.
The young men of Cambridge, as we'll
as elsewhere, are destined to learn that
there is no sex in brains.
