TOM L. JOHNSON.
A Unique Figure in Ohio Politics Elected
Mayor of Cleveland.

A Unique Figure in Ohio Politics Elected
Mayor of Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, April 3-Tom L. John
son, the single tax millionaire dis
ciple of the late Henry George, cham
pion of municipal ownership of all
semi-public franchises, has been
elected mayor of Cleveland by a
plurality of at least 5000.
The victory of Mr.. johnson on his
radical platform has been a great
surprise to many people of Cleve
land. His campaign has attracted
attention throughout the country by
reason of the fact that he is supposed
to have political aspirations which
will soon bring him into national
prominence. It is predicted tonight
that the campaign for the control
of the next Legislature will be com
menced at once in the interests of
Mr.. JOhnEOn's candidacy for the
United States Senate. It is also
likely that Mr.. Johnson will appear
before the Democratic National Con
vention in 1904 as a candidate for
President. Whether he will make
the fight on the issues which sc
triumphantly elected him here is
of course a matter of conjecture.

"The influence of Aguinaldo has
been waning for a long time" said
General Otis last week. Therefore
the Importance of the capture is not
as great as might be supposed. He
has been a fugitive in hiding for SO
long that a large number of his fol
lowers have dropped away and the
great majority of the people are
tired of the whole thing-tired of
being robbed and tired of warfare.
In fact affairs in the islands are as
quiet now as they have been for %

Statesville Landmark: The Su-
preme Court of the United States
recently rendered a decision as to the
validity Of certain Wilkes county
bonds, issued to aid in building u
railroad, and ostensibly declared them
invalid. But Capt. Chas. Price, able
lawyer and counsel for the bond
holders, says the decision does not
mean that the bonds are invalid
while Judge Avery, able lawyer and
counsel for the county, saysit means
that they are invalid. Just what
the decision means nobody appears
to know with any certainty, andi it
might be advisable to take the case
back to the Supreme Court and get
a supplemental decision explanatory
of the first.
We are in receipt of the catalogue
of the University of North Carolina
for the academic year 19OO-19O1.
This catalogue shows for this season
the large total attendance of 524
students. OF this mum Der 391 are
enrolled IN the Academic depart
ment. The professional schools
have a total enrolment of 1873, divi-
ded as follows: the Law School "a,
the Medical School AZ, the School of
Pharmacy 81. This is the largest
enrolment in the history of the
institution. The facilities of the
University have been greatly in
creased by the construction of two
new dOrmitOries, which will accOm-
mOdate $50 students and a building
for recitation rooms. The total cost
of these buildings will be $65, 900.
The increased appropriation of the
Legislature will make possible an in
crease in the teaching force and ad-
ditiOnal equipment which will insure
the best work. Excellent water
works are in full operation and Ii
central heating plant will be installed
before the beginning of the next
session.
