THE DlSGRACEFUL A. & N. c., DEAL.

During the administration of Cover
nor Carr there was movement looking
TO a lease of the Atlantic and North Car
olina railroad to a Goldsboro syndicate
of honorable business men, and some eX-
ccTent men favored it in order to pre-
vent the Republicans from getting con-
troll of the road. This paper. while APP
prehensive of the evils that have matte
rialized through Republican manage
ment, took the strong ground that no
such lease ought to be made without
submitting the question to the repre-
sentatiyes of the people. The members
of the Board of Internal Improvements
opposed the suggested lease, and it was
not made.
Now, we have another proposition for
u lease of that road without waiting for
the action of the peoples representatives.
and lease that the Governor seeks
to make by such bargains and trades as
State. If the \. Il y. {. Il. X. is to
be leased at all,.it ought 10 be done only
upon Legislative authority and after due
advertisement for bids. More than
that. the present suggestion is that the
Southern Railway is to pay all the ex-
pensc of the \. C. H. X. lease litigation.
thereby buy quiet possession of the
North Carolina railroad and put an end
to the suits pending against it, and
secure an annulment of the reduction
of railroad passenger rates. These con-
ditions are so dishonorable that no public
officer with decent regard to his of
fetal duties would consider the matter
a moment. Those who had credited the
Governor with honest motives i'm his
attitude toward the Southern Railway
are astounded fiat he has now become
an ally Of Vice-President Andrews to
carry out everything that Nice-Presidcnt
Andrews wants and to undo all that
the Governor has declared he wanted
10 accomplish. Those who believed that
he was actuated by a desire to play
ital say that their estimate is correct.
In any event the consummation of the
deal and licker now under consideration
would he worthy of Littlefield and the
Radical gang in power in 1859.
1t now looks like the only two persons
who can prevent the carrying out of the
dishonorable bargain are the new Rail-
road Commissioners, for will not Abbott
do whatever the Southern Railway
wants done? The Governor has brought
pressure TO bear upon Messrs. Caldwell
and Pearson to recede from their or
der reducing passenger rates, and it
is freely predicted by those close to the
Governor that they will do the Cover
nors bidding. Their friends say that
these two Commissioners will not be
the Governors puppets, but having made
u reduction after careful consideration,
they will stand to their just decision.

in Raleigh, by. the State Board Of Ag-
riculturc. that they will not in the flu
ture publish the chemical analysis Of

in the past We farmers fail to under
stand why the most valuable information
contained in the Bulletin will be denied
us in the future, especially as it will he
seen by reference to the act establish

the duty of this board to publish q

ton referred TO above, which we so much
need as protection to Us against the

of the farmers of the State? Let us

YELLOW FEVER.
In my last annual message. rec
commended that the Congress authorize
the appointment of a committee for the
purpose of making systematic invest
igtatiens with reference to the cause and
prevention of yellow fever. This mat
ter has acquired an Increased import
ance as a result of the military occupa-
ton of the island Of Cuba and the
commercial antercourse between this
island and the United States, which we
have every reason to expeot. The SAM
tary problems connected with our reJa-
items with the island OF Cuba and the
acqui sbtion of Porto Rico are no less
important than those Relating to I'M
ance commerce and administration. II
- my earnest desire that these prob
lens may be considered by competent
experts and that everything may be
dcne which the most recent advances
in sanitary science can offer for the
protection of health of our soldiers In
those Islands and of our citizens who
are exposed TO the dangers of infection
from the Importation of yellow fever.
1 therefore renew my Recommendation
that tire authority of Congress may be
given and suitable appropr. alton mads

INCREASE OF ARMY.
Approves Recommendation of the Sscre-
tary of War IN that Direction.

Under the act OF Congress, approved
Apri1 20, 1898, authorizing the Presden
in his discretion upon a declaration OF
war, by Congress, or a declaration by
Congress that war exists, directed the
increase of the regular army to the
maximum of 81, 900 authorized in said
act.
There are now in the regular army
81, s62 officers ard men. In said act
II was provided that at the end Of any
war in which the United States may
become involved, the army shall be re-
duced to a peace basis by the transfer
In the same arm of the service or abb
sorption by promotion or honorable dis
charge, under such regulations as the
secretary of war may establish, of SUI
pernumerary command officers and the
honorable discharge or transfer or
supernumerary enlisted men and MOTH
Ing contained in this act shall be con-
strued as authorizing the permanent in
crease of the command or enlisted force
of the regular army beyond that now
provided by the law in force prior to
the passage of this act except as to
the increase of % majors, provided for
in section 1 hereof"
The importance of legislation for the
peruna emit increase of the army is
therefore manifest, and the reoommen-
dction Of the secretary of war for bhiat
Their can be no question that at this
time and proba bly, for some time In
the future 1o0 900 men will be none too
many to meet the necessities Of the
situation. At all events, whether that
number shall be required permanently
or not, the power should be given to the
President to enlist tf1ar force If in his
discretion t should be necessary, and
the further discretion should be given
HIM to recruit Within the above limit
from the inhabitants of the islands
with the government of which we are
charged
VOLUNTEERS TO BE MUSTERED
OUT.
1t is my purpose to muster out the
entire volunteer army as soon as the
Congress shall provide for the increase
of the regular establishment This will
be only an act cf justice and VIII be
much appreciated by the brave men
who left their homes and employments
to help the country in Its emergency.
