THE WHOLE PUSH.

According to the Washington Post the
Alabama negro teacher, Booker T..
Washington, is the whole push with the
President 1t saws:
There are many indications at the
White House that the influence OF Book
er I. Washington with the President is
quite potential. He is known to have
made some recommendation regarding
appointments which the President ac-
cepted, and now he is credited with Sc
curing from prominent negroes in the
South letters of advice to the President.
1T is noticeable that whenever WISH
tor calls at the White House with a card
of introduction from Mr.. Washington, he
has no trouble in securing a speedy in
terview with the President. The colored
people are delighted with this condition
of affairs and believe that it means
much for the developing and standing
of their race
Does "a card of introduction also
carry with it an invitation to dinner
is it lunch ticket as we'll as CONVEX

MACLAY CUMBERs THE GROUND,

Maclay awoke one morning to find
himself notorious.
If the verdict in the Schley investigation
is in keeping with the popular verdict,
he will wake UP some morning to find
himself infamous
His latest performance is thus told
in a paragraph in the New York Times:
Edgar Stanton Maclay, the author of
"a History of the United States Navy,
who is still working as clerk in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, is preparing to make
changes in his history if Rear Admiral
Schley is exonerated. Yesterday he said:
Il am awaiting the decision of the
court before putting out the revised
edition of the history. If the court
generates Admiral Schley and clears
him of all discredit / will at once cut
out that portion of the third volume
which is detrimental to him. The de-
cision of the court, with a digest of
the proceedings, will be published in
the forthcoming ISSUE l expect that
the final work will be out in a short
time
Was there ever such preposterous in
terview published before? Here we have
a man. whose histories have been adopted
on text books in the Naval Academy,
gravely telling the world that if the
court acquits Admiral Schley, he will then
cut out his words coward and pol
troon.'' The inference is plain that other
wise he will let those words remain in
his books.
A man capable Of using terms like those
Maclay applied to Schley is not the man
to write books for naval cadets to study,
and the sooner all his books are taken
from the Annapolis curriculum, the bet
ter for that school and the coming off-
GERS of the American Navy.
It seems that Maclay still draws his
salary as "laborer'' in the navy. Is 1t not
in order for the Navy Department to pay
enough Difference to correct popular opin-
ion to kick Maclay and his books out the
back door? Under the law, he cannot be
employed as "laborer'' unless he per-
forms manual labor The only labor he
performs is in the clerical line and in
the line of slandering brave naval Off
Ger. His appointment was violation of
civil service regulations. Why does not
the strenuous President, boasted sup
porter of civil service, put at end to this
violation of law?
Maclay cannot go too soon. He is an
offence to the American people and a
disgrace to the Navy Department.

THE SUIT AGAINST THE STATE.

The Supreme Court yesterday granted
leave to the State of South Dakota to file
it's bill in the proceedings against the
State of North Carolina to recover on
bonds of the Western North Carolina
Railroad Company, which were guaran-
teed by North Carolina
1t will now be the duty of the Governor
to defend the suit in the courts. At this
writing. we DO not know whether the
pious fraud of South Dakota's suing in
the interest of schemers who started
the suit, for Interior purposes will be
heard soon or not. The prompt
declaration of the Governor that the
North Carolina Railroad should not be
sold was setback to the men who
thought they were in sight of the goal
toward which they have been working
since the 99-year lease of the North Caro-
lima road They may seem to acquiesce.
but the Legislature will be the body that
will finally pass upon the question, IL
understood that the men who want the
road will not stop until they ascertain
that the Legislature looks at the matter
as Governor Aycock does.
The men behind this suit brought 1t
in the hope of using it as threat to Ell
feet some compromise, as suggested by
Southern Railway agents. The compro-
mise they had in view was a plan that
involved the sale of the North Carolina
road The Governors plain declaration
has disconnected them.
The State will fight the South Dakota
suit to the finish. It's wisest and best
men, after careful elaboration, with the
facts all before them, declared that the
bonds now the subject of litigation had an
equitable claim against the State for
only twenty-five cents in the dollar. The
State will not without exhausting every
resource, say that the action of 1873 was
unjust to it's creditors, and it will fight
the proposition to pay 100000 not
justly due to the spectators who have
held these bonds with the purpose OF
using them now as threat to compel the
: sale of the North Carolina Railroad. The
threat will not force a compromise and
the Supreme Court will uphold the set
Element of the debt effected and ac-
cepted by most of the creditors over
; twenty years ago.

VIOLATES HIS OATH.

The Republican papers are painfully
silent upon the action of the Governor of
Indiana, who harbors the assassin of
Governor Goebel, in open violation of
the Federal Constitution, which he has
sworn to support. The Indianapolis
State Sentinel, in a recent editorial, calls
attention to the fact that the Governor
is also violating a statute of the State,
which he gas sworn to support. Here is
the Indiana statute:
Upon the demand of the executive
authority of any State or Territory Of
the United States upon the Governor of
this State, pursuant to the Constitution
and laws of the United States. he shall
issue his warrant, reciting the fact Of
such demand and the charge upon which
it is based. with the time and place of
the alleged commission of the offence,
directed generally to any sheriff or con-
stable of any county of this State COM
handing him to apprehend such fugitive
and bring him before the circuit or GRIM
>inal Judge of this State who may be
nearest or most convenient of access to
made
Let us suppose, for instance, that the
Governor of Mississippi had harbored a
man who had assassinated. or procured
the assassination, let us say, of the
Governor of Ohio and when the Cover
nor of the Buckeye State had sent his
requisition for the assassin the Cover
nor of Mississippi had refused to honor
the requisition and published SANDER
Gus attack upon the conduct of Ohio,
when would the severe denunciation of
Mssissippi's Governor come to an end?
The Governor of Indiana has actually
done what we have supposed the Cover
nor of Mississippi might have done in an
imaginary case, and because it was a
Democratic Governor who was shot
down by the assassin the Republican
press is as silent as the grave.
The assassination of Mr.. Mckinley
was not more damnable than the assas-
sination of Mr.. GoebeI The assassin of
the President has met his just fate. Law
is replaced by anarchy in Indiana until
the Governor surrenders Taylor so that
he may be tried for the offense Cor which
he has been indicted.
