RUSSELL GOING TO NEW YORK
Ills EXcelency Forming a Law Part
nership in the Metropolis.

As has previously been stated i'll these
columns. Governor Russell expects, at
the expiration of his term of office. To
go to New York to practice law. This,
was the primary purpose of his trip north
last week.. He will, if the present ar
rangement is carried out take the late
Sol Wells place in the firm of Meyer 4
Well which is now Meyer 81 Ricaud.
The Governors hasty departure was
in answer to telegram from Mr..
Iticaud. asking him to come to New
York at once for Il conference. As the
telegram came only Il few minutes be
fore train time and he had to go to the
Mansion to make preparations for the
trip he was able to catch the cars
only by going to Johnston Street sta
ton. Hence the apparently mysterious
departure of the Chief Executive from
this city.
incidentally His Excellency stopped
over in Washington to ask that the
Raleigh" be sent to North Carolina,
and to talk Constitutional amendment
with Republican leaders.

ticket. suggests Il repetition of what
Warner Miller has observed, that the
President lacks personal pride and wsll
cajule or annex those who have spoken
about him habftually with contumely.
The weakness of Mckinley is his sec

ment Ii is a second-rate mans attempt
at vindication for original non-deserving.
There is also a rising fear of perma-
nj Mt heavy taxation through the Pres
dents seeking a reelection through the
extrayagant cost Of war. The President
is regarded as a following rather than Il
heading man. not original, not intellect
ual. rather ffatterer.
'.The pnsioning of Eagan is believed
to be because of a fear of him.

GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND.
The Distinguished Journalist Spends a
Day in Raleigh

George Alfred Townsend. a we'll
known newspaper man. was in Raleigh
yesterday He spent this day visiting the
public institutions and Points of interest
about the city.
Writing to one OF his papers, the Pitts
burg Dispatch, Mr. Townsend Sunday
advanced the idea that matchmaking
is the cause of the trusts and mOra at
tention to science. art or literature
would stop their growth. He says:
1T is easy to account for so many
trusts said a downtown merchant TO
me: there is only one career in the
United States TO fill the measure Of

have reached the limit of private enter
prise, and the next thing is TO make
trusts. The people behind them only
admire wealth Even the ecclesiastics

cially under the present administration.
has given it's honor to politicians. Many
a wealthy man looks at Mark Hanna
at his hotel In New York with aversion,
because some small honorary place was
denied him and turned over to a

It was overheard that they intend
adopting an Indian costume for their
Curb, copying their dress from the red
flannel breaches and buckskin coat
worn by old Three-Toe-Nail.
Long before the hour for formal
opening occurred, knots of people, in
creasing as tthe morning grew old,
made their way to the grounds. They
all seemed determined to do what had
been left undone the preceding day.
The official program presented a
splendid list of events, and although
