Washington. May 24.-Amid the enthu- elastic demonstrations of great con- course of people, the superb bronze statue Of General Count de Rochambeau, who brought the forces of France across the sea at tine hours of greatest peril in the American Revolution, was unveiled to- day. Seldom has an event presented so many brilliant features of military page autry, and at the same time given occa- sion Cor the manifestation of the strong bonds of friendship existing between the French republic and the United States. For the first time in its history. the na-

For Register of Deeds,

To the Editor: Allow me to say it i'm
presses me that 1t would be unfair not
to nominate Captain ]. j. Bernard for
Register of Deeds.
l am aware the other gentlemen who
are seeking the nomination are gentle
men of sterling worth, and unquestion-
able character and no doubt would make
efficient officers.
Captain Bernard in many respects has
shown himself more enterprising than his
predecessors and he is to be congratula-
ted in having the office in better con-
dition than perhaps it was ever be-
fore.
This has not only taken much of his
time, but has incurred considerable eX-
pense besides. l think the voters of
Wake county cannot afford not to show
their appreciation of the valuable SER
vice he has done the county.
He has proven his proficiency, and we
have the best arranged office perhaps in
the State, and what more can anyone ex-
pect from a new man.

A CLEAN STATE FAIR.

We are gratified that the State Board
of Agriculture has made the usual APP
preparation for agricultural premiums to
the State Fair. The crop prospects are
better this year than since 1890 and the
display of agricultural products will be
greater than ever.
private letter, received by the editor
yesterday, contains this paragraph:
II remember that you made some very
wise remarks about the Fair just after
it closed last year. | believe that now
is the time for the papers and the people
to demand a decent Fair. / attended
last year as a teacher. with a large
body of students. I would not go with
them this year unless there is a change.
If there is not change l shall warn my
people against it as indecent and sinful
and advise them to stay away from it.
l believe that every minister and teacher
ought to save the young people from
such doings by influencing them to stay
away"
The management of the Fair is as de-
termined to rigidly exclude all objection
able features as our correspondent is
anxious that 1t should be done. The
coming State Fair will be the best ever
held, and there will be no place on the
grounds to which any pure minded man
may not gladly take his daughter.

WISE COUNSEL FROM A GOOD
SOURCE.

Alfred Moore Scales is name that is
honored in all North Carolina. 1t is a
name that means something-that means
purity of life, patriotism and courage
in war, devotion to true Democracy and
public spirit in peace. 1t is not too
much to say that the temporary chair
man of the recent Democratic State Con-
vention has added new lustre to the
honored name he bears-that, instead
of depending upon an honored name to
give him position, his public service and
private life add to the worth of the
good name.
There was a world of wisdom in his
speech at Greensboro. 1t ought to be
read by every voter in the State. In
North Carolina we have not many of the
more holy than thou sort of-folks who
make their political obligations by talk
ing about the degrading influence of
politics. But there are too many good
men in the State who neglect their po-
litical obligations, and the tendency is
in that direction. To them Mr.. Scales
speech, published elsewhere, is particu-
larly commended.

ghany can do nothing more than endorse
the choice of the Democracy of Ashe
county, he will be the candidate We
are told that Mr. Bowie is a fine speaker
and that he will make a vigorous cam

The primaries to name county candi-
dates in Arson have been called for

The papers are suggesting mighty good
men for the Legislature in most coun
ties. In Pitt, Mr.. ]. ]. Laughinghouse is
suggested for the Senate and in Nash
Mr.. r. H. Kicks for the House. There are
no better men in North Carolina.

Why Reciprocity Failed.

Stung by the protests of his constitu-
ents against his course in opposing re-
dprocity with Cuba, Senator Burton, of
Kansas, thus defends himself in a speech
at his home:
II deny that the beet-sugar Senators
were in the minority. If any one says
anything else he falsifies. If thirty five
Republican Senators had come TO us and
said, We are going to pass that bill,
htey could have done so. They never
came to us with such a declaration. On
the other hand, they came and encour-
aged us to keep up the fight. There are
not fifteen Republican Senators out of
the fifty-four who are in favor of the
present bill at heart. Beet sugar is a
Republican question by authority
This bold revelation of the true inard-
ness of the situation in the State shows
why reciprocity failed. It is likewise
striking confirmation Of the true word
spoken in est by The Worlds Wash
ington correspondent in his famous serie-
comic drama, Reciprocity Routed; the
Tragedy of the White House." publish
ed in The World of June "a.
After reciting the Presidents mes
sages, appeals and ultimatums in sup
port of justice to Cuba the veracious
dramatic historian made the President
say to a Senatorial visitor:
And my leaders-What of Aldrch and
Hanna and Spooner and Allison? Can
they not force this through? They have
never failed before"
Son." said the sad Senator, rising and
putting his hand on the Presidents tou-
selled hair, you are young in politics.
You have much to learn. Has it never
occurred to you that perhaps they G.idn't
want to win this fight-perhars tley
had no desire to force it through"
A great light seemed to illumine the
room.
Then came the short and sad closing
scene:
II shall do nothing further at this
time to secure reciprocity for Cuba,
said the President early the next day.
Senator Burton's disclosure of a Re.
publican majority in the Senate against
| justice to Cuba through fear of tho
Sugar Trust and favor to the beet-suga,
baby shows the accuracy of The World's
| information. 1t is now entirely cleal
| why reciprocity failed.
