It has been given out that the South
ern Railway will not lease the Atlantic
IS North Carolina Railroad il the Rail
road Commissioners insist on reducing
passenger rates to &c. and &c. per
mile. The CAUCASIAN wants to go on
record "a saying that any proposed
lease or deal that the Southern Roll
road will now refuse to stand by unless
passenger rates are put back to sac.
per mile, is a bad bargain for the State,
and one that ought not to be cOnsid-
cred. The reduction of passenger
rates is right. Let that question stand
on its meats. II the Atlantic II North
carolina is to be leased, let it be leased
on it's own merits, without any bargain
or trade at the expense of the people.
We notice that number Of papers are

the Governor will take such action as

One month ago on last Tuesday the
american war vessel, the Maine, was
oIownup in Havana harb0r. At once
Court of Inquiry was appointed and
sent to the scene Of the terrible catas-
trophe to investigate and report the
cause. IL is understood that the Court
Of Inquiry has finished its work. Why
IS its report being held back? The
American people are entitled to know
the facts.

The only way to find ont what the
people want is to ask the people
themselves. This can only be done
by direct legislation. AS it is now,

There are many rumors of a glgan-
tic bond deal being planned behind
the curtains. 1t is said that the amount
in contemplation is $500, 100000. Ger
tain capitalists are trying to force this
government to buy Cuba's liberty for
her. Is this the infamous influence
that has prevented this government
from recognizing the belligerency of
cuba and stopping the war in the IN
lerest of humanity and liberty?

There was wide public interest in
the decision Of the Supreme Court
over the Nebraska maxium freight
rate case, and the general public is
much disappointed that the court de-
cided against the State and sustained
the contention of the railroads as to the
matter of rates. THE CAUCASIAN also
frankly confesses that it is disappOint-
ed at the decision of the court, but not
having had time to read and digest the
decision we withhold expression of
opinion as to the business OF the decis-
ion. In next weeks issue we will re-
view at length this decision, not only
stating our opinion, but setting forth
the facts in the case so that the public
can also draw its own conclusions.

Again we ask : why are certain DEM
ocratic newspapers in this State so anx-
iOus about the cOntirma tion of Judge
Ewart for one of the most important
life judgeships2 Day after day and
week after week they have declared
that he would certainly be confirmed
and have done all within their power
TO minimize and ridicule the reasons
advanced why he should not be con-
lirmed. For weeks they have an
nOunced each day that within a few
days he would be confirmed despite
the opposition Of Senator Butler and
the large number of witnesses who
have testified to his unfitness. Yet
the fact is he has not yet been confirms
ed. Again we ask: why are certain
monopoly Democratic sheets so anx-
iOus for his confirmation.

Through the entire week active prep
aratiOns for war have been going on.
The army and navy are existing men.
Notifications are being reinforced
with more men and ammunition. A
number OF various vessels are being
fitted up and manned to be ready in
case of hOstilities. Though the fleet
now at Key West is formidable enough
to care for the entire Spanish navy, Or
ders were given by Secretary Long
Saturday sending more Vessels to Key
West.
These are the gunboats Helena
and the cruiser Bancroft" now in
European waters.
The "San Francisco" is also there,
and she will be ordered next week TO
report to Commander Sicard.
The object of concentrating this
great fleet, it is announced, is to block
ade the Cuban ports, thus shutting up
the Spanish army in Cuba from food
and other outside supplies.
Secretary Long has ordered the bat
tleship "OregOn," now on the Pacific
station, to go South, to the Central and
South American ports, and there re-
port.
If war is not declared by the time
she arrives there, she will undoubted-

Nothing OF much importance was
done here to-day, for the very good
reason that Admiral Sicard has every.
thing in perfect fighting order, and
nothing remains to be done but wait
for the word.
To Purchase Battle Ships.
The Navy Administration Saturday
issued orders and made arrangements
Of such . character As is not to be mis-
taken.
Express directions were cab,ed this
afternoon to the United States embas-

Immediately, for spot cash, the two
Brazilian armor-clads, for which Spain
and the United States have been dick
ering.
Before tomorrow night, or by Mon
day at the latest, the navy will be
augmented by these formidable craft.
1t is almost certain fact that with
in the next day or two several torpe do
boat destrOyers will have been added
to the naval list.
These vessels, armOr-clads and tor
pedO craft, are to be bought outright
without recourse to the hesitatinR
