city. Those who remember Raleigh be-
fore the issue of those bonds can all
speak eloquently on the tremendous i'm
provement wrought.
There were two issues, the first of $780,
600 on October 1st, 1897, at per cent,
and the second of 100000 ON July 1st,
1899, at per cent. Both these issues
were to be redeemed in thirty years. The
prices they brought speak of themselves
for the citys growth. The $4,000 issue
brought S109,327, and the 100000 issue
$105,525 In 1889 a $4,000 issue of SIS
$4,000 SIS in 1890 brought only $1O35O.
Thus the 100000 As in 1899 brought more
than the $4,000 SIS in 1889 and 1890.
AS a result of these issues of bonds in
1897 and 1899, Raleigh has now eight
miles of paved and maeadamized streets,
and thirty-two miles of paved and curbed
sidewalks. The material used On the
sidewalks is brick, Belgian blocks and
granolithic pavement. The streets for
heavy traffic are paved with cobble
stones and the rest with macadam.
In 1897 the city took up $40, 900 of the
funded debt bonds, skies, and issued $685.
600 current expense bonds, fives. These
expense bonds were issued to take the
place of $25, 900 fives floating debt bonds.
These sold at par on the very day that
war was declared with Spain. That
speaks volumes for the city's scredit.
Under the circumstances it was rather
remarkable that they could be sold at
! all
The amount of the sinking fund on
hand March 1st was $40,516. The next
bonds due are funded debt bonds, $40, 400.
at per cent, on July 1st, 1907.
TWO SURE EVIDENCES.
The two best evidences of a citys
growing prosperity is to be found in
it's postoffice receipts and in the deposits
/ III it's banks. BY this test Raleigh stands
among the first cities of it's population
4 in the whole country. In 1898 the receipts
/ at the Raleigh postoffice were less than
$50, 600. For the year just closed they have
/ risen to over $45, 900.
In the matter of bank deposits the gain
| for 1902 over 1892, period of ten years
was over one hundred per cent. Here is
the statement of increase:

/ This gain is a fair index of the en-

The people of Raleigh and Raleigh
township realize the vast Importance of
good roads, and much attention is being
given to the improvement Of the
public roads All the roads leading out
of Raleigh have already been macada-

is being pushed on to the great advan-

enhancement of real estate values 1t

roads will penetrate the entire county.

of Harnett county. This makes an out
let to Raleigh for a country that is of
great value to the city and has done
perhaps more than any other one enter
prise to build up the lumber industry
in this city and section. A few miles
east of the city is the Atlantic Coast
Line. The new line of the Seaboard Air
Line from Richmond, Virginia, to Ridge
way, N. c., brings Raleigh little nearer
to Washington. The city is now within
five hours of Norfolk, Va, about the
same time to Richmond, Va, ten hours
to Washington, thirteen to Philadelphia,
and sixteen to New York.
IMPORTANCE.
Being the State Capital, Raleigh is
naturally the political centre of the
State. and here are held innumerable
important meetings and conventions of
all kinds. This fact brings considerable
business of every description to the city,
and occasions the presence of many
strangers almost continually. This gives
a somewhat cosmopolitan air to the place
and prevents any appearance OF provln-
ciality whatsoever. AS the seat OF the
State government, here are to be seen
the State buildings and institutions, in
Guiding the State House, with surround
ing park; the Governors Mansion, the
State Agricultural Building, State Mu-
scum, containing as fine an exhlolt OF
State products as can be found in any
State of the Union; the Supreme Cour'
Building and State Library, with large
and valuable collection of books anc
manuscripts, is open free to visitors, ant

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The State Capitol is magnificent
building of granite. 1t is one of the
finest specimens OF architecture to be
found in the country, 1A0x16O, and 100
feet high. When it was completed it
was the handsomest State Capitol build
ing in the United States. and though
others have surpassed it in size and mod
ern convenienees, it is still model of
architectural beauty. 1t is quite classic
structure-many attractive features be-
ing modelled after the Parthenon, the
Lanthorn of Demosthenes, the Ionic
Temple on the Illisius, the Octagon
Tower of Andronicus, and the Acropolis
of Athens.
The North Carolina Insane Asylum is
$50 feet in length, and has room for
about 400 patients. It is situated on
Dix Hill, beautiful site, and is one of
the finest institutions of its kind in the
country.
The North Carolina Institution for the
Blind occupies Caswell Square. The

in the United States senate would never for moment think of admitting Ari- -ona into the sisterhood of states unless the people proved themselves to be democratic. The republican senators had grown tired of being in the ma iority and having all the responsibility of the government on their shoulders. They were clamoring for two demo- cratic senators from Arizona and if Arizona could not supply them, what was the use of taking the territory into the galaxy of states?
 Mr Bullard further proved to the sat sfaction of a part of his audience at least that the democratic legislatures of Arizona had not always been bad, but in his defense of them he kept himself well within ancient history. There was not a word from any of the la ter ones from the famous mule legis- Ia ture to the lamented twentyfirst.

UNBIASED OPINION
 OF JUDGE BARNES
On the Territorial Political
 Situation
Tn His Address to Maricopa Demo clats He Docs Not Believe That Democratic Success Is Absolutely Essential.

Judge w. H. Barnes of Tucson. who has been in charge of the snake department of this paper for about five years addressed q meeting of democrats in this city last night. It had been thought that the munificent salary received by Judge Barnes from The Republican for his services as de- lineatOr of reptilean characteristic; and incidents would enable him to live decently and refrain from politics. The Republican has no objection to the evident purpose Of Judge Barnes to keep in practice as the relator of snake stories. The more weird he becomes the more valuable will be his services in the department of this paper which he has filled so long and so ably.
 But it was brought to the notice of the management of The Republican last night that Judge Barnes has not been doing his best work in these col umns, though it must be admitted that his work has been considered satisfac- tory and his salary has been paid him ungrudgingly.
 He seemed, for instance. to have risen to a superior height in the art of snake story telling couple of years ago when he described the wonderful intel ligence of a pet rattlesnake owned by a Mexican of Tucson.
 One night a burglarentered the house of the owner of the snake. The reptile threw a coil about his neck and pre- vented his escape, while he stuck his tail through the key hole and rattled for policeman. These are the salient points of the incident and they are re- peated now so that striking as they may seem, those who heard Judge Barnes last night may have the con soling knowledge that his powers as a snake editor are not on the wane.
 But after all he was tame in compar- ison with most of the other democratic orators whom the people of Phoenix have heard in the course Of this cam paign. He believed, CT he said he be- lieved, that the cause of statehoo5

RAISING THE WIND
Another Assessment on the Demo
 cratic Candidates.

The democratic county campaign managers are growing desperate. They have ordered another assessment of the candidates who complain that they had already been over-asscssed. and that they can so far see no good re- suits of the expenditure cf the money. One of them went into the air" when he was raised again and refused to come in. The managers say that the money they want is not required for present needs but that it will be essen tial on election day: that if they do not get it. all that they have done will go for nothing.
 One reason why some Of the candi- dates object to any further assessment is that they fear the money is not to be used in the interest of the whole ticket, but for the benefit of certain can. didates. The ticket is, IS is well known, divided into factions, or rather. it rep rcsents the factions of the Young Mems Democratic club on one hand. and the JeffersOnians on the other The com mittee which will have charge of the money is Jeffersonian. The Jefferson ians though have Q grievance of their own. They complain that the club or the leading members of it are getting

Holiday Then.
A movement is on foot among the labor
organizations of the city to induce en-
ployers to give a holiday upon the day
that President Roosevelt is here during
the convention Of employe and employe::
The Importance to labor that Is attached
to the presidents visit is such that the
unions feel holiday should be declared
In order that workingmen may be permit
ted to take some part in entertaining the
president. - -
The fact, however, that the convention
comes in September, and that Sept. 1 Is
Labor Day, and by law holiday, causes
many of the labor leaders to hesitate to
ask for an additional holiday. It is I'M
derstood that the leaders Of the conven-
ton movement favor holiday when the
president is here so. that all workingmen
may be permitted to be in the grand
labor parade. =
An expression of feeling upon this mat
ter has been given by several employers
in the city and most Of these are in favor
Of giving at least a half-holiday. This
will allow all their employees to take part
In the parade and will divide the burden
of the holiday.
