MR.. ROUSS NOT MARROW.

Not n great while ago, Mr.. Charles
pro.luoy Rouss. the New York blind
millionaire and philanthropist. gave
So. 900 to build model physical labo-
ratory at the University of Virginia.
Having learned that this sum was in
sufficient. Mr.. Rouss has sent an addi~
tional $4,000 to finish the building,
the residue, if any. to be added to the
equipment fund.
In his letter, which accompanies the
check, Mr.. Rouss says:
1T may not be impairment i'll this
connection to correct the erroneous state
ments which have found expression re-
Gently in the public press that | would
refuse to give anything more to the
university because Mr.. Bryan had been
invited to deliver an address last session
before the literary societies of the insti-
tuition. How unjust such suggestion!
Can it be possible that. with my life
long demand for free thought and free
press, as a loyal disciple of Thomas JEFF
ferson. your great founder, | should be
charged at this late day with possessing
such narrow views as WOuiu ueIly 10
others that freedom of opinion and ac-
ton which i have always claimed for
myself? No, rather might it have been
said with truth that it is because Of the
fact that the university scheme opens
the door of free discussion to all creeds,
political. social and religious. which has
commended it to my patronage. When
the day comes that truth is not permit
red to stand the test of intellectual ana
lysis and the investigation of reason,
then indeed may humanity shudder.
while false teachers rob mankind of
rights diyinely vouchsafed for placing its
civilization upon true and impregnable
foundations. No; away with such con-
tracted sentiments, say |. Truth asks
no favors, and reason, that divine guide.
will blaze the pathway of knowledge
throughout all the fields of science by
signals so unerring as to leave no one
in darkness"
This is the first correction of the ru-
NOR we have seen. The report undenied
made many people feel that the utter
ance was unworthy of a man of the
character of Mr.. Rouss. As loyal dis
ciple of Thomas Jefferson he truly says
he could not hold such narrow views =
That's the true Jeffersonian spirit.

AS TO JUDGE EWART.

In communication in the AsheVllie
Register, Republican, rs the statement
that Judge Ewart is u prominent citl-
zen who is almost unanimously endorsed
bv the lawyers of Asheville and Hen
Jacksonville" A correspondent of the
Asheville Citizen says that the following
members of the Ashevllc bar have NOT
endorsed him: Judge James ii. Merrl-
oon ex-Attorney General Theodore +.
Davidson. Judge George A. Shuford,
.Tudge Charles 4. Moore, Judge Thomas
Jones. w. II. Whitson, V. $. Lusk,
Eng. ID. Carter. j. s. Adams, Frank
Carter, i. G. ,Merrimon, w. f. Shuford,
Fred Moore, ALI. S. Barnard, F., A.
Sondley, Julius c. Martin, John +. Ar
thur and II. w. Keith. The statement
is also made that these ''non-endorsers
do at least ninety per cent of the FEEDER
al business that is in the hands of the
Asheville bar"
The report sent ont from Washington
that opposition to the confirmation of
Judge Ewart grows out of his fight
against the Force bill is not correct. The
charges affect his character. The Sen
ate will give a thorough sitting to the
charges and if they are not established,
Judge Ewart will be confirmed. If they
are established, he ought not to be con-
firmed.
If Judge Ewart had kept up the broad
line of his speech against the Force bill
and been personally worthy, such men
as Judge Merrimon. Col. Davidson.
Judge Moore, Judge Shuford, Judge
Jones, Hon. Joseph s. Adams, Messrs.
Sondley, Whitson, Carter, Shuford, Bar
nard. Martin. Arthur Keith and Others
would have been glad TO endorse him for
confirmation. Their refusal to do so
will be taken by all who know their
high standing that there are grave OBJ
jections to the confirmation.
AS TO Judge Ewart personally. there
are many Democrats who, if he can dis
prove the charges. would be glad to see
him confirmed. They know that under
this corporation-bossed administration
no man would stand a chance. in the
event of his defeat. of elevation to the
bench except tool of the Southern
Railway.

NOBODY ELSE CAN.

Concord Times.
Governor Russell is giving his friends
a good deal of trouble and aNiety. He
is hard to understand. Up to a short
time since he has been fighting the
Southern Railway with all his might
and MAIN trying TO annual the lease of
the North Carolina railroad. Now he
is doing his utmost to lease this same
greedy -monopolistic corporation the At
lantic railroad. We confess, we can't
see how it H. wrong to lease one railroad
and right to lease another-wrong to
lease the railroad running into Colds
