TWO IMPORTANT DEC. SIONS BY SUPREME
COURT.

The opinions in the following two cases
which were filed in the Supreme Court
this week will be found of general in
terest:
In Griffin VS.. Goldsboro Water Co. the
court holds that the charges of water,
gas and electric lighting and street car
companies must not be unreasonable
and the rates must be uniform to all.
The court says, "All persons are entitled
to have the same service on equal terms
and Mt uniform rates. If tins were not
SO. and if corporations existing by the
grant of public franchise and supplying
the great conveniences and necessities OF
modern city life, as water, gas, electric
lights, street cars and the like could
charge any rates, however unreasonable,
or could at will favor certain individuals
with low rates and charge others ex-
brilliantly high rates or refuse service
altogether the business interests and the
domestic comfort Of every man would be
at their mercy. They could kill the busi-
ness Of one and make alive that of an
other and instead Of being public agen-
cies created to promote the public COM
fort and welfare these corporations
would be the masters of the cities they
were established to serve"
The court also incidentally calls atten-
ton to the fact that the evidence fur
nished by the defendant shows that in
the towns in North Carolina which do
not own their water works the rates
charged the public are 80 to 800 per cent.
higher than in Wilson and Asheyille,
the only towns in North Carolina which
own their water works.
The other case is Thrift VS.. Elizabeth
City in which it is held that it is uncon-
stitutional for any town or city to bar
gain to any water. light or transportation
company the exclusive right to operate
any of those franchises for term of
years.

GEN. ROBERTS FOR MAJOR GENERAL

At the recent session of the Democratic
State convention there was u sentiment
in favor of the passage of a resolution
requesting the President to appoint Gen
eral w. =. Roberts, of Gates county, a
major general in the United States army.
When General Roberts heard of the sug-
gestion, he requested his friends not t.
introduce the resolution. for he does
not think any political considerations
ought to enter into military appoint
ments.
General Roberts was the youngest
general of his rank in the Confederate
army, winning his rank by his courage
and military genius. North Carolina IS
entitled to position of high rank, and
General Roberts's appointmcnt would be
as fitting as it would be popular.

TWO MOTHERS.

Two mothers stand ly Il heros grave
In a Southern city fair.
And one sheds tears for the fallen brave
And cries i'm her dark despair
But one makes never a cry nor moan,
For one is the mother Of flesh and bone,
And one is the mother State.
o. mother, you Of the burning tears
And you of the dark despair,
The hope and pride of your loye-lit years
Are shrOuded and buried there;
For fame is naught when the loved are
dead,
And nations praise is vain
When the parting words Mt the grave are
said,
And the soul is scared with pain.
And, mother, you in your pride elate,
You joy that another name
Is blazoned now on the lofty gate
In the temple of your fame;
Behold you cry, ION wave or strand,
How my children die for me-
They fall like Spartans on the land
And like Vikings on the seal!
A stately shaft OF enduring stone
One mother will rear in pride,
And with sculptor's chisel for aye make
known
How a Caroinian died!
And one will plant the cypress tree
4 sigh for the deadly strife,
And a rose, as white as the snow can be,
To tell of a spotless life.
One mother brings, as last farewell
TO our hero's grave today,
The amaranth and the asphodeI
And one garland of bay:
And one stands there in her grief alone.
And one in her pride elate-
For one is the mother of flesh and hone.
And one is the mother State.

GRANTS VIEW OF SPAIN.

What would American leaders of other
days think Of our present war? is a
pertinent question not without answer.
In a letter to Admiral Ammen, and i'm
Guided in the Admirals Memoirs just
issued in a second edition from the Lip
pincott press, General Grant says of
Spain:
IT is hard to foretell the future Of
Spain. The people are good enough if,
as you say they could see any return for
their labor. But, as it is, there seems
TO be no integrity among the ruling class.
Those who do work receive but the bar
est subsistence. If a man raises pig,
he cannot kill and eat it without paying
an equivalent to five dollars of our mon
ey. The revenue officers are so abundant
that there is no chance Of escaping any
tax except by bribery, which is resorted
to to the extent Of depriying the gov
eminent of very large percentage of
its revenues. There is the greatest dis
content, and the least thing would start
Il revolution. / have no idea that the ex-
listing state of affairs can last long. IT
will not be long before the experiment of
a republic will be tried again, and prob
ably with more success than the last
time"
1t is well to ponder these prophetic
words and many similar passages in the
Grant correspondence with Admiral Am
men.

A PERPETUAL CUBAN QUESTION.

We have had Cuban question for
more that ninety years, says the June
Atlantic. At times it has disappeared
from our politics. but it has always re-
appeared. Once we thought it wise to
prevent the island from winning its in
dependence from Spain, and thereby per-
hans we entered into moral bonds to
make sure that Spain governed it de-
Gently. But whether we definitely CON
tracted such an obligation or not, the
Cuban question has never ceased to give
us trouble. The controversies about it
make a long series of chapters in one
continuous story of diplomatic trouble.
Many Of our ablest statesmen have had
to deal with it's secretaries Of state and
as ministers to Spain, and never one of
them has been able to settle it. One
president after another has taken it up,
and every one has transmitted it to his
successor 1t has at various times taken
a ''plank" in the platforms of all our
political parties, and it has been the
subject of messages of nearly all our
Presidents. We have been put
to trouble and expense to prevent filibus-
terng, and filibustering has gone on in
spite of us. More than once hitherto
there has been danger of international
conflict. as, for instance, when American
sailors on the Virginius were executed
in Cuba i'm 1873. Propositions have been
made to buy the island, and plans have
formed o annex it. All the while there
have been American interests in Cuba.
Our citizens have owned property and
made investments there, and done much
to develop its fertility. They have paid
tribute, unlawful as well as lawful, both
to insurgents and to Spanish officials
They have lost property, for much of
which no indemnity has been paid. All
the while we have had a trade with
the island. important during periods of
quiet. irritating periods of unrest.

A MIDDLE OR A SCANDAL.

What is what? In 1896 Col. Dockery
was the Populist candidate for Lieutcn-
ant Governor, and went about the State
denouncing Mckinley and Russell. The
Populists agreed with him then. Now
the Populists endorse Russell's admins
tration; Dockery kicks out and is nomi-
mated for Congress by Republicans who
endorse Mckinley and the gold standard
but refuse to endorse Russell; and Rus.
sells friends say Dockery cannot have
their support. Was ever there such a
mess?
Moral Wherever you find Southern
Republicanism, you always find Il muddle
where you do not find scandal.

GOVERNOR COULD NOT FILL PLACE.

A correspondent asks about the de
cision that reinstates Mr.. M. H. Holt, OF
Guilford, and Mr.. n. B. Broughton, Of
Wake, as trustees of the State deaf and
dumb school at MorgantOn. The court
held in that case that where the Legis-
lature elected director under the proyi-
sion that he was to hold for six years
and until his successor is elected and
qualified" and the Legislature at the
end of the six years failed to elect, there
is no vacancy which the Governor is
authorized to fill. The incumbent holds
office until succeeding Legislature
shall elect his successor.

IT'S ALL OFF WITH THE BIG FIGHT
Corbstt and Mccoy Have Abandoned All Thought of Pulling OFF
Their Mill, Each Accusing the Other of Being RESPONSE
BILE Regret in the Pugihshc World.

The Corbett-McCoy fight is on-irre-
vocably on. The nearest the two men
ever came TO fighting. or are likely
ever 20 come. was last Wednesday in
a New York hotel barroom when Nc.
Coy kicked Corbett in the groin and
fed.
The fight was scheduled for Oct. Is.
II was to have been held under the
auspices of the Hawthorne Athletic
club OF Buffalo. The authorities of Buff
falo and Erie county, in which Buffalo
Is situated. declared that the fight
hould not take place within their jul
risdictions. and IL was plain that they
were dead in earnest The club made
an experiment with one or two little
fghts-and the sheriff promptly stop
ped them. ms attorneys for the club
resorted TO every possible expedient. but
the city and county officers and appar-
emily the courts were all against them.
Corbett. in view OF these facts. tried
to induce Mccoy To fight somewhere
else-anywhere. Corbett said. was good
enough for him. II Mccoy liked they
would fight in private. Mccoy declin-
ed all these propositions. He said he
believed the Hawthorne club could yet
pull the night of. II il failed to do so
the would be the time to talk.
Last Sunday Corbett and his retinue
of trainers broke camp at Asbury Park
and left for New York. The ex-cham-
picn aid that he was tired Of train
ing when there were no positive assur-
ances in sight that his proposed fight
with Mccoy would come come on. Cor

1t is remarkable how nue. ability to

ton perpetrated by Mccoy and the
Hawthorne club. l believe both are
deceiving the public. Last night / re-
ceived n letter from a friend I'm Buffalo
saying hat efforts are being made to
induce the authorities to permit my
hight with Mccoy to proceed far enough
to get about $4,000 from admissions.
The idea is to have the Kid and me
on hand. and when we start to box IL
is understood that the police will in
terfere the same as was done in the
case OF Lavigne and Erne. Such a
hasco would probably make me $40. 900
richer, but | am not after money made
by such methods. Mccoy never intend
ed 20 fight, but I want to demonstrate
that can whip any man in the world"
Corbett has been advised that no le-
gal contract exists for a fight on Oct.
10. and ~ that the Hawthorne peo-
pie will have a hard time getting any
forfeit money from him.
Mccoy said in reply to Corbett's
statement: Il n Corbett never in
tended TO fight me and his actions in
quitting his training quarters does not
surprise me in the least. I have said
all alcng that Corbett was using my
name as a cheap advertisement for
himself and his business associates. and
that he was doing everything in his
power to prevent our meeting. Mr..
Corbett wants something easy. Jeffries

or Corbetts ring career, more notable
In may respects than that In which ne
met his Waterloo at Carson City. vas
the battle with John L.. Sullivan at
New Orleans. II will be remembered
as the most astonishing fight for many
years. I'm that IL showed that the great
strength OF the mighty Sullivan was as
useless as Sampson's after his locks
were shorn. against the nimble. dane
ing. punch-and-get-away tactics OF
his younger opponent. IL Is said that
S~ullivan's face never looked so terri
BILE as II did that night at New Orleans
when the truth dawned on him that he
could not hit Corbett, and was merely
a chopping block for the coming cham
pion. II was the pathetic downfall of
the gladiator who belonged to a school
that h clever Corbett made obsolete
In a night.
Corbett has been accused Of lack OF
staying powers. but those VINO saw him
in the longest fight in his career. the
great si-round draw with Peter Jack
son on May 81. 1891, will combat that
assertion fiercely. Jackson was so
hard-headed that the blows Of Corbett
seemed to make little impression on
him. while Corbett simply hammered
his own fists to jelly in pounding the
mahogany c~ountenance of his oppon-
ent. IL has always been the science OF
Corbett that has most favorably I'M
pressed the spectators of his ring con-
tests. The writer. who has seen him
In many OF his fights. has had reason
to marvel at the lightning ~quickness of
his blows. his shifty evasions. and his
wonderful generalship in the ring.
There are many who credit Fitzsim-
mons with great wisdom in putting so
many barriers between Corbett and
himself hat IL will be some time be-
fore they meet In the ring again, for
IL IL firmly believed by Corbett's ad-
mirers that the Carson City decision
Will be reversed when the ex-bank clerk
and the doughty blacksmith meet
again with the gloves on.
Corbett trained conscientiously for
the fight with Mccoy. There is no
doubt about that. Visitors to his quar-
tiers found him hard at 1t in the apart
ments in which ne air He was in
fine condition and has worked hard
and systematically to get himself as
fit as possible. Not even the late trag-
edy in his life turned him from his
training. He IA benz on winning.
Mccoy was not one whit behind Cor
bett In his training work. He is sal
to ave been in the finest condition
any athlete was ever got by pa
training. His list of battles won
is simply marvellous. and those who
seen him fight are convinced that
Corbett would a v need to use his
eyes well when the Kid" reached for
him with his terrible fist. As both con-
testants are such skilled men IL was
expected that IL would be a long
or a repulsively brutal one. II
