nually. I am aware that local interests
over the territory will strenuously OBJ
ject to this action by your body, but
while these are all m%eritorious institu-
tions, and if our financial condition
would justify the expenditure, should
be maintained; yet, the fact remains,
that we are not financially able, and
like an individual, must retrench in all
matters of expenditure which are not
actually necessary in maintaining the
public credit in conducting public bust
ness.
The large appropriations made to the
different territorial educational institu-
lions in the past should be carefully
curtailed, and only such sums as are
absolutely necessary for the mainte-
nance of the said institutions should be
appropriated, at least for the time be-
ing, or until we can place the territory
upon a sound basis. While retrench-
ment in this direction may seem a hard
ship t. those sections Immediately af-
fected, it Is nevertheless necessary for
the good name and financial standing
of the territory. I do not care to par
ticularize in this matter, but consign 1t
as a whole to the sound Judgment Of the
assembly.
For the insane asylum, and the school
for the deaf, dumb and blind, adequate
provision must be made, as this class Of
unfortunates have a peculiar and spe-
cial claim for the protection and assist
.nce Of the territory, and the a%ppropria-
ton for these institutions can be easily
Increased to an adequate sum by lop-
ping off some Of the other institutions,
necessities are not so great. The
above suggestions exhaust the possible
sources Of retrenchment and w should
now consider the possibility Of increas-
ing the annual revenue without any in
,rease OF the rate Of taxation. This In /

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS

Presented In the North Carolina Legisla-
itre-separate and Independent Schools.
Raleigh, N. c., January 6.-Two bills
have been introduced III the House of
tie North Carolina Legislature re-
quiring all railroads in the State to
operate separate coaches for white and
colored passengers.
One of the bills is an exact copy
of the law now in force Ill Tennessee
and which has been declared constitu-
tional.
The other is similar to it except that
it provides that any first class coach
may be divided into compartments
separated by substantial partition, in
lieu of separate coaches" A bill also
was introduced in the House to
amend the State constitution 50 as to
provide that ''all moneys arising from
the taxation of the polls and property
of the white race for public schools
shall be appropriated to the support of
public schools of the white race, and
all the moneys arising from the taxa
ton of the polls and property of the
colored race for public schools shall be
apportioned to the support of the pub
lie schools of the colored race"
The school fund is now proportional
according to population, the negroes
getting as much per capita as the white
people, though they pay only about 10
per cent of the taxes.

EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER.

The Senatorship-State Debt-Fees of Au-
aitor and Secretary of State-Corpora-
tions.
The following extracts from pri-
waite letter by Mr.. j. NJ Mason, of JEFF
ferson, are of public interest:
The Senatorship-The Democratic
caucus should meet promptly and agree
to vote solid for any of several Re-
publicans who best command public
confidence and can get enough Re-
publican votes which, added to the
Democrats, will elect him. For exam
pie, Archie Campbell, W. P. Hubbard,
Whitaker and any of half dozen ma
tive born who may be mentioned.
But this proposition is likely to be
antagonized by some Democratic as
pirants who hope to purchase some Re-
publican votes.
The Debt.-A committee of three
courageous and competent men should
be appointed to visit Wall street and
investigate whether any man in this
State raised money on Wall street for
campaign funds, especially in the fall
of 1894, by promising debt legislation.
1t will give me pleasure to aid such a
committee.
Fees of Auditor and Secretary of
State.-The law should be amended to
require all fees to be paid into the
treasury. These officials receive fixed
salaries, and it is monstrous that they
should pocket the money earned by
clerks whose wages are paid out of
taxes. When clerk is paid by tax
payers, his earnings belong to tax
payers. 1t is a novel doctrine to tax
the people to pay clerks who work for
the enrichment of salaried State Off
Gals. If reports be true, these fees
amount to $4,000 a year. This is
equivalent to a tax of 20 cents per $100
on $10,000,000 of property.
Corporations.--The law should be
amended to make service on the Audi
tor, and publication, sufficient service
on any nonresident corporation char
tered by this State.
Corporations who paid the Secretary
of State and were afterwards required
to pay the same tax a second time,
should be reimbursed. The State
ought to be honest. 1t savored of
blackmail to demand the second pay
ment. If the charter was forfeited, no
State official could revive it, The

A HOT FIGHT
Between Scott and Atkinson for the
Republican Senatorial Caucus Nomi-
ton.

Washington, d. c., January 1.-THE
gathering of the Republican clans at
Charleston pending the meeting of the
Legislature will begin early. Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue Scott will
be on hand and will work hard for the
caucus nomination. He will establish
headquarters and make the fight of his
life for the Republican nomination in
caucus. This he processes to believe
will be the equivalent of an election.
The visit of Governor Atkinson to
this city last week while connected
with State affairs, was of considerable
interest from political standpoint.
While here he was the guest OF Sen
ator Elkins, and together they visited
Commissioner Scott.
Various intimations were given the
Govlpnor that it would be very agree
able to the machine and Mr.. Scott if
> lie would withdraw. These hints Gov
|Aernor Atkinson refused to take, and he
Aated finally that he would make the
fight, to the bitter end 1t is pretty
we'll understood that Senator Elkins,
while ostensibly maintaining neutral
position in the impending struggle,
will throw the entire weight of his in
fuence into the scales for Scott. He
and the Commissioner are close per-
oil Er;a Ie
the present Republican Senator prefers
that his colleague in the Senate should
not be Governor Atkinson.
At the same time Senator Elkins dare
not show his teeth, as Atkinson, he
fears, controls enough votes among
the holdovers to beat him in case the
Legislature is close when he comes up
for reelection.
Scott and Atkinson will have to knife
one another in the dark during the
coming fight for an open and bitter
struggle might result in the selection
of Judge Golf by the Republican eau
Gus.
A prominent Republican from West
Virginia, who stands as near to Judge
Golf as any man in the party, stated re-
Gently that he had talked with Judge
Golf and had urged him to come for
ward for the Republican nomination
on the ground that he is the only man
in the party who can command the
united support and strength of the Re-
.publicans in the Legislature.
Judge Golf, said he, told me candidly
that he did not wish to give up the
lifelong position and the salary that
he commands at present to enter into
a doubtful contest.
But in case you see that you are
the only man in the State who can
unite your party, was asked Judge Golf.
Ali that's a different matter, said
EhelJudge.
49, ~ - u a rGis- bet4fSsSeetttt a al
NlNfnson fear Golf and either one Of
them would rather see the other pull
the Senatorial plum than have it go to
Judge Golf. Meanwhile it is feared by
among the Republicanparty in the State
will refuse to consider their candidacy
seriously and will demand another man
more of the political stripe of Judge
Golf for the seat in the Senate in case
the Republicans gain control.
