HOW WILL 1T END I?

The Legislature reinstated the Will
sons as railroad commissioners with
the understanding with s. Ohio Wilson
that he would resign at once. This I1v
did; but he did not stay resigned.
AS soon as Ohio had gone to the
country his attorney, J. G. L. Harris,
gave notice to the railroad commission
ers that S. Ohio allowed Mr.. Rogers to
go in as commissioner but the said
Ohio had waived none of his rights to
the Office but would test the matter. J.
C.L. Harris stated that Ohio knew moth
ing about the action, being out of Raj
eigh at the time; and at this writing
Ohio has not been heard from.
There is no telling how it will all
terminate, and THE COMMONWEALTH
renews its motion to abolish the whole
thing and it there is not less contention
and fuss oyer it there Will be many in
North Carolina to ask the next Ieeis
lature to abolish it and regulate mat
tiers concerning railroads as the Interests
of private individuals or manufacture
ing interests are regulated.

THE WAKE FOREST STUDENT for
March has been received. It has its
usual interesting features, with some
pleasing contributions. Ono of the
most interesting features OF this good
college journal is the tsalumni notes, -
which give old students Of the institu-
ton an opportunity to learn a little
about other former students. Many
lose sight of each other in the various
vacations of life to which they have
turned, and this is q convenient and
pleasant means of learning about them
after years OF separation.

A FINE RECORD.

The Legislature OF 1899 made fine
record. To be sure, there were some
disappointments in certain quarters
over the failure or success of local legls-
latlon but on the whole North Caro-
lima may we'll feel proud of the work of
her legislators.
The presiding officer OF the Senate
did himself great credit as wise and
judicious parllamentarian and the
friends OF Judge Conner, who are many
in all parts of the State, admire him
more than ever for his his splendid sue
cess in presiding as Speaker of the
House. THE COMMONWEALTH advo-
Gated him tor that high and response
BILE position, predicted his election and
felt every assurance that he would
make a record second to no man who
has eyer presided over that body dur
ing sitting OF North Carolina Leg
islature He more than met every ex-
pectation which his learning, ability
and urbanity led his admirers to in
dulge and he returned to his home
bearing the thanks of the entire State
for the noble service be has rendered
and with a firmer bold upon the conf
dence of all our people as one OF North
Cardinals best and truest citizens.
Indeed the entire General Assembly
is entitled to the thanks of the State
for the labOrious work done for the
States best interest and for the promo.
ton of her highest good.
