THE SErDL CONCERT.
Mr. Relster Believes that Success Will
Crown His Efforts,

Although it looked for time as
though the efforts OF Manager Reister
to bring to Wheeling the famous Seidl
orchestra the latter part Of April, would
result In failure, 1t now appears that the
extension of time granted him by the
management OF the orchestra will result
In SUCCESS browning his efforts. To-day
subscription lists will be placed In the
music stores OF Banner & Co., c. A.
House. and Sf!lliGan, Wilkln & Co.,
where It Is hoped the music loving pub
lie will respond In sufficient numbers to
insure the speedy closing OF q contract
with the SeldI management. Another
list, by the way, Is at the office OF the
German Insurance Company, under the
Opera House, on Fourteenth street.

TWO NEW VOLUNTEERS.

The war feeling is growing. John l.
Sullivan has written letter to the
World expressing his readiness to fight
and saying, 'let us free Cuba and let us
at the same time lick the Spaniards as
they were never licked before, and LET
us teach them that the lives of Ameri
cans are dear 10 us. and that we-truc
Americans in every respect-will not
stand by idly. with our hands i'll ON
pockets, and see our fellow eountrymen
insulted. or, worse than that, murdered
Let us blow all Spaniards to hell"'
Steve Brodie, the bridge jumper, has
issued an open letter. in which he says
We've got to lick them dubs. | raised
100 men OH the Bowery for Coxey'>
army in an afternoon, and | can do II
again"
With these two volunteers, victory is
as good as won.

REDUCED RATES LEGAL.

Commenting On the Supreme court
decision on the Nebraska CASE the New
York World constructs it just as this
paper did the morning after it was re-
rendered. We quote:
THUS the Nebraska law is upheld
whenever it operates to prevent the
railroads from overcharge and ex-
tOrtion, but is set aside whenever it
operates to c0nfiscate property"
If there was any way 70 get at the
earnings for through traffic, it would be
equitable for the State rates to be fixed
in connection with the entire income OF
the road. The Supreme court does not
take the view that the through rates
ought to be considered in fixing State
rates. 1t is our conviction that failure
to consider them aS parts of one whole
makes the task OF arriving at what is
the proper rate a very difficult one.
However, it is well to have the law de
clared so that the State Commissioners
will know their powers. As defined in
this decision. the reduced rates ordered
by the North Carolina Railroad Com
miSsioners will stand. If they denied a
fair return on the investment they
ought not to stand, but the reports show
that the reductions will still leave a
good margin of profits on the invest
ment

REFORM BADLY NEEDED.

The Iowa Legislature is considering
the passage Of a bill to take the control
Of the insane asylums out of the hands
Of trustees and substituting q State
board of control, the members of which
are to be appointed by the governor, the
appointments TO be referred to com
mittec of the leading chairmen Of the
Senate Committees.
What we most need in North Carolina
just now is a set of trustees who dc
not think that spoils. spite and politics
should control their every action. The
spectacle of the recent meeting of the
directors puts it almost on level Will
Jim Young's gang that control the deaf
dumb and blind institution.

IT IS SCANDAL0US.

Mr.. !. G.. BeIlamy is a director OF tht
North Carolina Insane Asylum, appoint
ed. as the result of compromise action
by Governor Carr. Recently Mr.. Bella
nv has been elected secretary OF inc
board of directors at u salary OF De
per month. with board added, if we are
not mistaken.
II is scandalous that q member OF the
board of directors of the asylum should
also bc one Of its officers. No matter
how good a man he is, the director can
not lose sight of the salaried office Inc
holds. and he therefore becomes unfit
tol be a director. Mr.. Bellamy must re
sign one of these positions.
We are also Informed that Mr.. Geo
Ii. Cannon, of Brunswick county. n di
rector of the penitentiary, receives sal
airy as superintendent of one of the
farms or a squad of convicts. This was
true a short time ago, if not now.
These are two most fragrant examples
of the double office holding that OBJ
tains under this sweet-scented admins
tration, always of course excepting the
unprecedented record of J. c. Logan
Harris, who holds so many places that
we cannot keep up with them.
We make no charge that these men
are using their positions cOrruptly. We
merely say that it is contrary to law
for them to hold more than one office.
and that it is scandalous for u man to
hold an office in an institution of which
he is director or trustee.

NO RAILROAD VICTORY
Chicago Times-Herald.

1t will thus be perceived that the val
idity of State legislation limiting rail
way rates depends upon the equity OF
such rates.
And in respect to this very law Justice
Harlan holds that if the present cond
ton of business on the railways is sucI
as to admit of the application of The
statute to the railway companies with
out depriving them of just compensation
that then the statute can be enforced.
SO that after all the decision is ne
great victory for the railways, for it still
leaves it in the power of the Legislature
to fix the rates under the sole limita
ton that they must be reasonable.

PREFERS WAR TO FREE SILVER.

We published some days ago an edi
torial from the Chicago Times-Herald
edited by McKinley's close friend, Mr.
Kohlsaat, IN favor of waging war fol
the freedom of Cuba on the sole ground
that unless Mckinley did so the Demo
Gratis would carry the elections this fall
In day when party distinctions have
been forgotten in providing for the
national defense, this discordant note
of small politics was enough TO disgust
all honorable men. 4 few spectators
in money, anxious for more bonds, il
seems, has approved the meanness OF
the Times Herald's editorial which has
been roundly denounced by all others
The criticisms We're so severe that the
Times Herald felt forced to take no
tice of it, and published the following
editorial:
1.-The Times Herald has been con-
demned in some quarters and APP
plauded in others for the editorial
of Friday last, entitled The War
IN Cuba Must End For the APP
plause it Is grateful: for the CON
domination it is Indifferent The
Times Herald said the war must
cease for the reason that all the alb
horrent forces of discomfort. rcpudia-
tiOn, and dishonor in our country
the silver Democrats and Populistts.
the socialists, and anarchsts-were
ready to combine upon the one party
shibboleth of Free Cuba-Free Sill
ver.' and upon the pretense of pa
trlotism sweep the country and car
~ the Congressional elections by
Overwhelming majorities.
a'.Tle Times-H Herald reiterates the
charge. The leaders of discomfort,
the shouters for free silver and the
enemies of conservatism and social
order are now even ready to pool
their issues and join together in the
cry of Free Cuba-Free Silver and
on that one issue they expect to car
ry the country like a cyclone. 1t is
they. not the Times Herald who put
party notice before the country and
are ready and willing for party adj
vantage to plunge the nation into
war.
THE Timcs-Herald sounded the
alarm because it knows whereof it
speaks. and it would arouse the con-
seryatiYe elements of the country to
a sense of the dangers that impend.
1.-The war in Cuba must cease. by
pcaceable Intervention on our part
il that be possible, and we believe it
is possible but il not, then by armed
Intervention.
