The New Senate Committees

Washington. March IA conference
of republican senators has been called
for tomorrow to decide what course to
pursue with reference to the committee
assignments. The new senators and
some of the older ones, who are not en-
tirely satisfied with their present COM
mittee places, are urging a reorganiza-
ton during the present session, but
the older senator's are resisting the
move as contrary to the practice of the
senate. The committees on committees
of the two sides of h chamber held
a meeting today and agreed to recon-
mend that the sergeant-at-arms should
be given authority under the direction
of those committees to dispose, during
the recess, of the appointments to
places in the senate controlled by the
outgoing senator's. 1t is believed that
his arrangement will satisfy the de-
mands of some Of the new men.

We do not misjudge or exaggerate
Captain Ashes qualifications when we

is undertaking a work that promises SO
much for his contemporaries and for
children as yet unborn. He has a
clear, direct style. he loves historic in

seeker after the facts. the truth of his

important task ~earliec. Let US ention
how we spoiled his plan once. and
through u ignorance and his courtesy
and kindness. 1t will show his gener-
Gus, self-sacrificing nature. More than
a quarter Of a century since. this writ

purpose to undertake a one volume

So soon as we gave to the public
the plan, our friend Captain Ashe
wrote to us that he had begun a
history of this state. but would prose

urging hin to carry out his plan and
stating that we would at once retire as
we did not know of his patriotic pur-
pose. To this he would not agree, but
Instead sent us most kindly his own col
lection of North Carolina books, n

tell how We failed to SO much as begin
the proposed undertaking. 1t was not

through the misfortune of another. We

failure of the attempt on our own part,
and regretted the deprivation that be-
fel the state in not having the work by
Captain Ashe He not only would have
done it much better h we could have
written it, but he would have had &C
cess to the all important Colonial Re

and full of sins of omission and COM
mission. We are glad to learn that at

doubt brought to him a ripper judgment,

INAUGURAL AFTERMATH.

The Pennsylvania troops at the in
a~uguration are reported to have acted
like avage Saloons were smashed.
venders were robbed. people were shot
by rowdies from that Mckinley state.
The disgusting, ~disgraceful militia of
that state lac to be quelled in their
outragas by the Provost Guard. A dis
patch of the 5th said that every man
on the Washington police force is
breathing easier today because the
Pennsylvania militiamen are on the
move homeward."
Mckinley was sworn in the Bible
being used. The New York Worlds
correspondent reports that as his lips
softly touched the Bible they also
touched an apt passage from it, which
is from Proverbs sixteenth and read:
He that handleth a matter wisely
shall find good: and whose trusteth
in the Lord, happy is he.
The wise in heart shall be called
prudent: and the sweetness of the lips
increaseth learning"
1t will be mighty good for McKin-
LEY and the country, and even the
world if he shall take the words to
heart and live by them. In this con-
nection let two views of the president
be here reproduced in juNta-position:
I'VE want no wars of conquest; we
must avoid the temptation of terri
torial aggression-Mr. McKinley's in
.Iaugural address, March 4th. 1897"
Four years later he had forgotten all
that-had departed from the ways Of
Hear him in his last inaugural of the
4th of March, 1901:
Our institutions will not deteriorate
by extension and our sense of justice
will not abate under tropic suns in dis
liant tea
Our countrymen should not be de-
tceived. We are not waging war
against the inhabitants Of the Phil
lippine islands. A portion of them are
making war against the United States.
There were 10000 witnesses Of tina
oath he took and ten miles Of glittering
soldiers inspired the military spirit of
the multitude afterward." The mill
tary Of twenty-five states paraded and
soldiers from Porto Rico swelled the
display. The World says hat an
overwhelming demonstration OF the
personal power of william Mckinley,
of his love for the military ideas, the
republic militant-that fairly sums up
this day IN Washington.

icentral figure of all his proud pagean-
try Of force; he was the only distinct

REPUBLICAN OHGANS ON CUBAN
WRONGS

The republican newspapers of prom
inence continue their opposition to Nc
Kinley's treatment of Cuba. They de-
nounce the perfidy of this country in
proper terms. The North American,
the oldest republican paper of Phila-
deiphia, holds that this nation is dis
honored'' and for the sake of material
advantage" The Chicago Evening
Post, republican, says h people have
righteous Indignation as to the ex-
treme policy of criminal aggression
and eternal ~dishonor." Plain talk but
most true! The Springfield (Mass.)

"a real independence, with no string

and leave Cuba to decide for itself
about the string. That is morality, as
we understand it, and it applies to ma
lions as we'll as to the man across the

wrong in the policy of the government.

an artful intriguer, and at heart un-
true to the Cubans and the republic
over which he presides. Hear him as
he SO artfully pleads for foreign con-
quests and the empire. We quote from
the Sun:

quiring territory from Spain We have
followed the policy inaugurated by u
forefathers in the onward movement
of the republic VIII their successors

the corltry has to face and Mr.. Nc
kinley is convinced that it will be
solved in accordance with national in
terest, national honor and the nations
duty to the people of u new posses
sions. 1t is quite natural that he
should take an optimistic view of the
situation"
The Inauguration or coronation of
the first emperor is ended. We wish
to reproduce from two Independent
Philadelphia papers how that inspiring
and, magnificent display that was to be
was regarded in advance. The Times
began an editorial with these words:
'Preparations have been made at
Washington for the rei~nauguration of
President Mckinley upon a scale UNI
known before. The route from the
capitol to the White house is lined with
triumphal columns, and the president
will be escorted by a military and civic
parade that is expected to attract
enormous crowds. 1t will be an inn
perial pageant designed to celebrate
the elevation of the president of the
republic to a position of more than i'm
perial power
That is correct. He has more i'm
perial power" today than Emperor
William of Germany is clothed with.
He has far more supreme power than
King Edward VII of England has now
or will eve have. The Record closed
an editorial in anticipation of the gor-
geous show and foreshadowing royalty
in these words:
TT is all very magnificent, impress
sive and costly, and the memory of the
superb spectacle SHOULD linger long in
the minds of the hundreds of thou
sands who will be there to see. A | Ike

may never again be presented. AS
the patriotic citizen shall ponder on
the amazing difference between the
simple Jefferson inauguration cere-
mony of 1901 n the pomp n glory
and glitter of the Mckinley ceremonial
in 1901, he will be inspired with a
clearer apprehension of the immeasur-
BILE gulf fixed between ancient demo-
cratic doctrine and modern republican
practice"
If the people do not watch with I'M
sleeping eyes Mckinley and his tribe
they will lose their liberties and they
will never return save only through
terrific revolution and awful blood-iet-
thing. Despots never surrender with
| out a trial, and traitors are never sat
isfied without a struggle. Each pa
triot should feel as the following old
lines express a thought:

The modest allied powers who Quilted
and robbed China are now agreeing
that $50, OOO, 900 must be paid for the
loss of life and property. The conduct
of the allied troops, with n or two
exceptions, was disgraceful, inhuman
and most savage. The Philadelphia
Record writing of the indemnity de-
manded pertinently says hat nothing
is mentioned of the indemnity to
which the innocent ~peasantry and vii

Governor Jarvis is being sharply
handled just now because of his atti-
tude towards impeaching h judges.
The Raleigh News and Observer shows
how urgent, how bold. how determined
he was for ~impeaching Governor Holder
and two republican judges Of that time.
Now he opposes hauling over the Goals
the two republican judges to be i'm
peached. Colonel John r. Webster, In
his paper the Reidsvllle Weekly, and
he is a decided admirer of the ex-sen-
ator, refers to the article from him in
the Raleigh News and Observer of the
14th of July. Colonel Webster says:
1T did not seem t o us to be just the
thing for a man OF Governor Jarvis
influence to seek to deter h peoples
representatives from the discharge of
their sworn duty in inouiring into the
merits of this matter We thought the
charges should be investigated in a
spirit of fairness and hat politics
Should not be injected into the inveSti-
CATION. We were not surprised when
Pritchard. Pearson and Linney charged
that politics was the moving cause in
the investigation. but we were sur
prised to see Governor Jarvis to go into
print to tell the peoples representa-
tives to shut their eyes to facts forced
upon their attention lest a political
blunder be made"
He objects to the certificate Of charac-
ter he gave Furches and Douglas. The
Messenger has forborne to comment al
though surprised at Governor Jarvis's
surprising attitude. We make another
extract from Colonel Webster's edi-
torial:
I'VE find in our issue of October 18th,
1894. a very a~ppreciative report of a
speech the Governor made in Reidsville
four days previously. and in said report

ows married before April 1865, and still
unmarried will receive pensions. All
special laws are repealed and persons
named must be examined by county

per h Pittsboro Record:
THE bill directs the state treasurer
to pay the pensions out of the general
fund If n special pension . tax does
not raise enough to pay them in full,
but limit the total amount to two hum

increase over what has ever before been
