THE TRANSVALL TROUBLE,


Chant rlafn Makes a Plain Demand of
President kruger-Kruger's Reply.
LONDON, May 8.--The Outlook pub
fishes special dispatch from it's Cape
Town correspondent, in which it is
stated that the British secretary of state
for the colonies, MIR. Joseph Chamber
lain, has dispatched firmly worded de-
mand upon the Transvaal republic that
it must observe its obligations to the
queen, as the paramount power, by Sc
curing peace and order within the re-
public. This demand, the dispatch
says, is supplementary to the demand for
the cancellation of the dynamite con-
cession and is taken to mean that the
British government deems that the
time has come to invite President Kru-
ger to observe the letter as we'll as the
spirit of the London convention. It is
not stated how far the demand takes
the form of an ultimatum, or if a time
is fixed within which the redress of the
grievances Of the outlanders shall be
made.
President Kruger's Reply.
CAPE Town. May. S.-The reply of
President Kruger Of the Transvaal re-
public to the demand from the British
secretary of state for the colonies, Mr.
Joseph hamberlair, for the cancella-
ton of the dynamite concession is pub
lished here. President Kruger con-
tends that the concession is bona fide
and constitutes no breach of the Lon
don convention. The Transvaal, Presi-
dent Kruger insists, is entitled to its
opinion as to what is for the best inter-
ests Of the republic.
The amendment of the concession as
asked by the British government, the
president adds, would be breach of
faith with regard to other parties

The legislature ought not to refuse
to print the sketches of the seventy-five
North Carolina regiments. 1t is a duty,
and should be a proud privilege. Judge
Clark, who edits them, was asked about
it by the News and Observer. He
said to the reporter that not a
line of them was written by him,
mr. did idea idea originate with
himself. That by a vote of the Con
federate Veterans Associations he had
been requested to get a survivor of each
regiment to write a history of his own

in what battles it participated, and what
part it bore in each memorable in
cidents in it's career, in short the life
of each regiment presented in fifteen
Or twenty pages, to be handed down to
posterity as authentic statements of eye
witnesses of the great deeds North
Carolina soldiers performed in 1865.
He said he had written hundreds of let
tiers and been engaged for four years
in getting the best men in each regi-
ment to perform this patriotic duty, and
had caused many of the sketches to be
printed in the newspapers to secure
criticism and corrections by other sur
vivors. That he had secured about As

camping ground looked more like a

Pines and palmettos had been placed
in the ground and the company streets
looked like a grove. The men ate at

occupied by one company and had the
company letter suspended over it with

Despite the cold weather, the ladies
went out to the camp and waited on
the volunteers in the bleak wind. Ths
men sat at the tables for an hour.

HOME FOLKS

1t is believed that the HEREFORD coun-
Fy bill is all right-that it is intended
ito give to the white people what was
promised in the roaring, rousing cam
paign, good, fair, honest government.
1t is an attemrt, it is contended, to carry
out the voice of the people in the last
eaection-to give white supremacy in
all negro counties. The Raleigh Post
in timely remarks upon the Hartford
bill of relief, says in a general way OF
the pledge of the democracy and the
sweeping, victorious, uprising of the
white men:
1--WE ell remember the effect the con-
dftion of our eastern counties produced
ON the people when that condition was
made known. We know as we'll the eff
feet upon the state and the business
interests generally the Russell-Butler
assaults upon property rights and in
vested capital had. The infamous leg
fslation proposed in the legislature OF
1897 by which power was attempted to

anarchistic impulses than honest, con-
scientious, just construction or execu-
.tiop of laws, aroused as it alarmed the
best people of the state"

The exact point is to make it support
ng inside and not by renting farms.

Judge G. Fl. Brown asks for a consti-
tutional amendment to send supreme
court judges to hold terms Of superior
courts. He also wants districts limit
ed to six and no judge to rotate beyond
his district. This will break up the
old time big rotation or riding the cir
cults generally. Judge Walter Clark
is interviewed by the News and Obser-
yer and he says he is willing to ride
the superior court circuit, favors a bet
ter rotation system, and says there Is
no need to send a judge all the way
from Cherokee on one end of the state
to Currituck on the other end, 500 miles
apart. Judge Clark with his usual
~clearness and information says:
TT would do no harm for a supreme
court judge to go out occasionally
among the people and hold a term OF
the superior court, provided he was MOI
sent while his wv court is in session.
This is done in several states as well
by the United States. If, as some think
the effect of being on the appellate
court is to become technical and prone
to discover microscopic errors in courts
below, an occasional practical expert
ence of the difficulties and nature of a
trial in the superior court is a good
remedy"

RUSSELL,S CHARGES

Governor Russelrs message to the
| legislature relative to his conduct in
removing the two Wilson's from the
| railroad commission will occupy the
| close attention of the legislature. His
| cas- is that the Wilson's were person
| ally interested in the Round Knob
hotel and had a profitable business
understanding with a railroad compa-
ny. He offers as proof to sustain his
contention extracts from letters. The
names of the writer's of the letters will
be given to a committee appointed by
the legislature. After the message was
read, Mr.. Craige, Of Buncombe, intro
| duced a resolution providing for a COM
mittee to investigate the charges
brought by the governor, and to ex-
tend the investigation, and have power
to send for men and papers. The COM
mittee is to investigate fully the ques-
tons of law and fact in connection
with the governors action. This will
enable the committee to dig deep and
to see precisely what there is in Rus
sells course n charges. They will
find as to the truth or falsehood of the
governors justification and statements.
A good committee may find out much
to enlighten the public. If Russell &C
ted wisely, unselfishly,, with an eye sim
gle to the public good, it will surprise the
people while indicating his own ap-
parent high-handed, partisan action
Let the governor be fully investigated.
Perhaps there are other doings of his
that might be inquired into by still an
other committee. He is not to be ar
raigned for trial before the legislature,
but he may be scrutinized by commit
tees as to some of his other official acts
We may add, that it is hardly proba-
BILE that the accusation against the two
Wilson's will end in a genuine North
Carolina scandal. RusselPs plea
amounts in plain terms to a charge
that the two Wilson's were simply re-
moved because they had sold out to
the Southern railroad for a considera-
ton. h charge is that Ohio Wilson
and J. w. Wilson were interested in
the profits Of the Southern. He charges
that J. w. Wilson was mortgaged to
A B. Andrews, vice president of the
Southern railroad, in the sum of Sc, 000,
which he is unable to pay, and that
Andrews and Wilson were joint owners
of the Round Knob Hotel, near Ashe-
Vile, which hotel is dependent upon
the railroad for it's patronage.
This hotel, the governor say was
ranted by A.. B.. Andrews and J. w.
Wilson to the other railroad commits
sioner, S.. Ohio, Wilson, for a term Of
five years, and in consideration of his
taking his lease the Southern railroad,
through Andrews, contracted to trans
port Wilson and his family free CT
charge and deadheaded for him all
freight and all provisions and supplies.

LEGISLATIVE.

r II JuQR6 WI WILL AOL pOluhba-
riIy retire the legislature may necessa-
riIy have to impeach him. In the past
drunken judges have not been novelties
IN North Carolina. Probably it is time
to make an example. But Judge Nor
wood is by no means the first sinner in
the last half century.
Why should a bad law continue be-
cause a sentiment demands it? Every
man of sense and observation knows
that the law against concealed arms is
only operative with tina. class who are
at the mercy of scoundrels. While the
robber and murderer and rough walks
around like a peripatetic armory the law
abiding citizen is liable to be set upon
at any time by the outlaw class. Re-
peal the law and give good, peaceful
human brutes. A law f%orbidding "con-
cealed" weapons only necessitates men
to wear outside, unconcealled their pis-
tolls and guns. It is a foolish law, not
suppressing violence but inviting it.
The bill against a dispensary law for
Fayetteville is vigorously opposed by
nearly 1000 good citizens Of that old
town.
Tt is about settled that the two Grim
inal courts will remain, and that no
new superior court judges will be ap-
pointed. Under the circumstances that
appears to be about the right thing to
do II there were twenty judges, there
are some people, not all lawyers either,
who would favor an increase. 1t is like
erecting new counties. There are al
ways people dissatisfied and favoring
the carving up of old counties. There
is no doubt room for a few more coun-
ties, as there are some that ought never
.fO have been made. But there is hardly
rDom at present for more judges. Let
the people try to worry along as best
they can with present supply. More
stringent crir nal laws, fewer technical
lodges, better juries and a more res
lutte administration of justice would
prove a great benefit to the state.
What does the announcement mean
that the election law Of 1893, will be
re-enacted with some notifications?
Does it mean hat the question of negro
supremacy is not to be considered at all?
If not there will be a storm from Cur
rituck to Cherokee and it will strike the
capitol with a mighty sweep u%prooting
many a political prospect.
The legislators are suspected of being
fender-footed as to Jim Crow Cars
We believe public sentiment is practi-
z.aIIy united as to the necessity of hav-
ing different cars provided for both
races, with proper accommodations.
Delay is unnecessary for the voice of
Che people is imperative. Vox populi,
Vox Del. On the matter of different
cars and a poll tax for all voters there
is but little division of sentiment. No
man is fit to vote who does not pay a
tax to help support the government
under which he lives.

I'd doubt it, but Mr.. Leazer was thought

Aycock-or any other capable farmer
