BEHOLD He HAS HIS REWARD.

The Wadesboro Messenger and Intel
iigencer, in announcing the new post
masters appointed in Arson county
says that Mrs. Emma Il. Odom has been
appointed F. NJ. at McFaTlan. 1t goes
on to say that, Mrs. Odom is the wife
of State Senator w. HI. Odom."
Odum? 1t seems that we have heard
that name before. A glance at the
proceedings of the last State Senate dis
closes the fact that w. lei. Odum was
a member of that body elected as a
Populist; that he voted with the gold
bugs, for Jeter C. Pritchard for Sena-
tor and for that act was denounced by
every honest Populist in his district;
forwards voted with the Republicans
against resolutions instructing the Sena-
tors to vote for the principles upon
which, the Democrats and Populists a
greed in the campaign of 1896: and, al
though his party had declared in State
convention against the lease, he betray-
ed his party on that as he had done ON
silver.
On February 9th, reviewing the lease
fight the News and Observer said:
During the recess Senator Odum
entered the office of Col. A. B. An
drews and was cl0seted there behind
closed blinds. Tt was seen of men
and he, too, voted in the afternoon
TO grant the request of Carolina's
C0ri0lanus."
In the local column, the News and
Observer on the same day said:
81 big crowd was gathered at the
Marlborough at the time mentioned,
and when Senator Odum arose and
walked hastily through the back en-
trance into Col .Andrews's office, it
created a ripple of wonder and ex-
element among a dozen or more who
we're observing his movements.
When five minutes later he returned
and took in tfrough the same back
entrance Senator Early, it created
just a little sensation.
AN hour later the first vote was
taken ON the lease bill. y On
this vote the Colonies two visitors
voted may" On the pas
sage of the substitute, Senator
bdllm voted aye.
Keep your eyes on the nineteen Pop
uEst members of the Legislature who
voted for Jeter C. Pritchard and the
two or three others who were ready to-
DO so if necessary. In order to do that
they had to betray the chief principles
of their party. Each and every one of
them will receive the price of his
treachery. ID. Reid Parker was paid
by place as Institute Conductor: Fa-
gan by a place in the Railroad Commits
sion office: McCaskey by position rs
superintendent of a penitentiary farm;
Brown by a job under Marshal Ell. G.
Dockery; Wakefield in the office of the
Collector Of Internal Revenue Mt Ashe-
vile; and Odom gives his wife a posi-
ton as postmaster. Most of the rest
of them are either in place, are waiting
under promises, or have the thirty pieces
of silver, as the price of their betrayal.
The papers say that Wakefield, of
Caldwell. has already gone to Asheville
TO get his place. He has record that
the world shall know!

Senator Harris, of Kansas, deserves
the gratitude of all honest men for ex-
posing the Pacific Railroad steal. He
was a gallant Confederate soldier who,
after the war, went west and was en-
ployed to build that road. He knows
the value of every mile of it, and his
courage and knowledge have been of
rare value in preventing the wholesale
steal. The presence of such men in the
Senate is the hope of the country.

THE BURDEN OF PENSIONS.
New York Jonrnal.l

The pension expenditure for the fsca
year 1890, thirty-fomr years after the
close of the war. will reach $150,000,O00
What does that mean!
1t means the interest at per cent on
debt of $5.0O0O00,O00, which is more
than any national debt i'll the world
except that of France.
1t is more than .-lc combined expenSi
tlTrcs for all purposes of all the States
in the Union. that is to say If the
money spent for pensions We're divided
among the States, all taxation for State
purposes could be dispensed with.

NO HURRY ABOUT IT.

II the Southern or any other railroad
wants to lease the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad, the Legislature will
meet in less than year.
No set Of directors, appointed for q
short term, have the moral right to
grant long lease of railroad property
without submitting it to the peoples
representatives.
The air is full or rumors of a lease of
the Atlantic and North Carolina rail
road to the Southern Railway. We are
not saying whether such lease would
or would not he wise. We do say that
any lease to any parties in hurry,
without advertising for bids, and with
out submitting it to the Legislature,
that it ought to be condemned by them
The people are sovereign Trustees or
directors are agents TO care for the
property when the sovereigns represen-
tatives cannot he in active control. In
equity they have no right TO grant n
lease for long term without the APP
prevail of those for whom they are act
ing.
Governor Jarvis would not have dared
sell or lease, the WesterA railroad with
out the assent of the Legislature. If
there is any pressing reason for leas-
ing the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad before the next Legislature, 1t
would be better to have an extra session
of the Legislature than to lease with
out the approval of the peoples represen-
tatives.
But there is no pressing need. Han
cocks conduct ought to secure his dis
miksal without getting rid of him
through lease. That would smack
too much of another penitentiary and ag-I
ricultural department scandal.

GUARDING THE MINES
 OFF BALLAST POINT
Difficult Task of the Corwin in San Diego Waters Reserved for

the Span1ardS.
 SAN DIEGO, June 2S.-The United States ship Corwin, upon her arrival at San Diego on Wednesday last, began her work of guarding the submarine mines off Ballast Point. Her officers are hav- ing their hands fulton duty from dawn till dark, and from nightfall till morning. All day long a sharp lookout Is kept up, and vessels are continually warned through the megaphone to keep clear of the waters reserved for the Spaniards. The searchlight is used at night, and not even a rowboat escapes it's piercing rays. Several vessels have been fired upon by the batteries on shore under the command of Captain Humphreys of the Eighteenth Artillery and the vessels overhauled and seized by the Corwin's steam launch.
 To-day a Chinese junk persisted in cut ting off corners on her way to the city, and in so doing sailed directly over the mine fields. A shot was fired across her bow from the gun on the bluff, and upon failing to heed the warning second snot was fired. which just fell short of her stern. The stranger at once squared away before the wind and beat a hasty retreat to sea, with the Corwins steam launch in hot pursuit After chasing the vessel for several miles she was brought to and Lieutenant Uberoth took her in charge. He brought the schooner back and anchored her under the Corwin' 8 PnnS.

Semi Official Note at Berlin as to the Course of Action in the
 Philippines

LONDON, June 29.-The Berlin cor respondent of the Daily News says: The following semi-offlcial note has been published here, apparently with the object of preparing the world for the landing of German marines at Manila:
 As yet no statement has reached here about the landing of German marines at Manila, but it is matter of course that Admiral von Diedrichs will intervene as soon as it may become necessary for the protection of Ger mans there. Such measure would have no political significance whatever Neither at Washington nor Madrid have negotiations occurred on this natter
 The assurance that a landing of marines would have no political signifi- canoe is very nice. The only question Is whether the United States or the other powers will see in the language an act of interference, compelling them to follow suit.

SPANISH LOSS TWO HUNDRED AT SEVILlA
Deserter Informs General Shaftel That Linares Led the Attack

Special cable 10 The Call and the New York

 KINGSTON, June 28-It developed to-day that General Linares, who placed the ambuscade into which the Rough Riders fell on Friday, person. ally led the Spanish attack.

Iney report starvation ana dis tress in Santiago. They say the Span ish troops are on short rations and all the supplies are being held for their use.
 The pacificos report that seventy seven Spaniards were killed and eighty nine wounded as the result of the en- gagement on Friday last with Colonel Woods and Colonel Young's com mands.
 The most startling information ob- tained from the pacificos is that since the advance began almost 10000 Span tsh soldiers have arrived at Santiago de Cuba.
 The Cubans believe that if the water supply of the city can be cut off Santi- aEo will have to yield at once. They
