Colombia and Panama, the very stones Of
the streets of Washington would have
cried out against the deep damnation of
the conspiracy, and the President would
have preached another sermon to the bish-
ops upon the supreme Importance Of right
dealing and old fashioned honesty.
But, we are told, no foreign country OBJ
jects. OF course not. France is happy be-
cause it puts money into the pockets of
the Panama Canal Company. The other
great powers rejoice to see America repud-
late its century old policy of fair dealing
toward the weak, and become a land grab
bling nation. Inasmuch as the Monroe doe
trine forbade their grabbing the canal,
they are glad to see the United States
take It in the brutal and dishonorabte way
that has attended every step in the trans
action since Mr.. Wellman outlined the pol
icy last August. When they begin to par
titIon China, what can we say to them?

The graded schools have been in opera

is general satisfaction at the work. More
than 200 pupils have been enrolled in
the white school and more than 60 Ill

WOULD BE AN OUTRAGE.

1t Is whispered again that, instead of
the one dispensary which the people of
Raleigh voted for, two dispensares may be
established in this city Various plausi-
bic reasons are given for starting more
than one. The influences behind the prop
osition for two are moved to that course
by the desire to provide three or more
jobs for the faithful and to try to
make the dispensary idea odious.
Only one dispensary is needed. 1t will
cost $4,000 to $4,000 a year to conduct
one, including the rent. If two are es-
tablished, the cost would be nearly dou-
bed and every additional cent would
be a wholly unnecessary expense. IN
der the dispensary act, nobody (and this
includes city officials, as well as others)
is allowed to loaf about the premises.
and no whiskey is to be drunk at the
place where the dispensary is located.
This situation makes more than one dis
pensary unnecessary.
The board of aldermen and the dispen-
sary commissioners ought to understand
that the dispensary was voted as tenn
perance measure and not to put saloons
in the place of those now existing. Its
friends wish it conducted strictly as a
temperance measure, not seeking to sell
quantities, but as little as possible. One
place is enough 1t should be run very
economically. all purchases by the
commissioners, should be published
and every dollar, except the necessary
expenses, should go toward reducing the
very heavy tax burden imposed upon the
city of Raleigh.
Only one dspensary is needed, or was
contemplated 1t will be an outrage to
have two, and will be construed by the
temperance forces of the city as an at
tempt to defeat the objects of the dis
pensary, and as notice to taxpayers that
they need expect no reduction of taxation,
which is sorely needed.

DON'T FOOL With BOIL WEEvILs

A few days ago this paper printed that
a farmer in Wake and in Scotland county
had each received from friend in Texas a
boil weevil securely corked in bottle"
and were showing them as curiosities to
their friends. The Progressive Farmer
says there ought to be law prohibiting
such foo.ishness, and if there is no law,
"then a resort to Ku-Klux methods might
be Unsuitable. These boil weevils have
more lives than cat has, and they null
tiply faster than any mathematician in the
universe Once let few of them get loose
in our State and get hold on our cotton,
and we will have no end of trouble. They
have cost Texas millions of dollars within
the last five years, and are likely to cost
ii many more millions within the next
five And Secretary Wilson, we observe,
says that they are going to cross the Miss
issippi and probably cover the entire cot
ton belt
In this position the Progressive Farmer
is in line with the Cotton States Associa-
ton of Commissioners of Agriculture. At
the recent meeting at Montgomery, that
body passed this resolution:
Resolved, That this association severely
condemns the importation into non-infect-
ed areas of live weevils by persons or or
CARNATIONS curious to know what the
weevil is like, or anxious to conduct ex-
periments for the purpose of procuring
remedies, and that we ask all the Cotton
States to pass such laws as to make it a
criminal offence to bring live weevils into
non-infected districts; and that the Legis-
latures of the cotton States authorize
their Boards of Agriculture, or in the alb
sence of such, the Experiment Station au-
thorities, to establish quarantine or other
necessary regulations that will prevent the
spread of the weevil. We also urge all
non-infected States to strenuously guard
against the Importation of cotton, cotton
seed, bulls, corn. hay and any other farm
products from Texas, that are liable to in
troduce the weevil''
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who re-
Gently returned from visit to Texas, es.
Inmates that the boil weevil has cost that
State about five million dollars, and he
gives the discouraging opinion that it will
be about as impossible to exterminate the
boil weevil as it would to exterminate the
house fly. The two North Carolina far
mers. who have been the recipients of a
sample boil weevil from a Texas friend,
should kill the destroyer at once, and af-
ter killing, it would be well to jump on
the weevil until not grease-spot is left so
as to teach that there is 'heM and pun
ishment after death" for any Texas boil
weevil who dares to set foot on North
Carolina soil.

SUGAR TRUST sWEETENs.

The Sugar Trust has managed to delay
the carrying out of ''our plain duty to-
ward Cuba until it secures its pound Of
flesh nearest the heart At the last SEES
sion OF Congress the beet sugar men il
the House Joined hands with the Demo-
Gratis to remove the bonus which the Re-
publican bill gave to the sugar trust.
The result of that action was to tie up
the plain duty for the Senate has too
many sugar trust men to make it posi-
BILE for any bill to pass that has no sweet
ening for the trust. Since then the beet
sugar men and the trust seem to have
reached an agreement by which all will
doubtless share in the loot, and both
parties now seem to favor the legislation
that gives reciprocity with Cuba
The Democrats in the House will de-
mand an opportunity to vote against the
bonus to the trust. 1t will be denied
them. After nuttiI,g on record their
solemn protest. they will not oppose the
only plan possible to fulfill a measure
of our honorable obligation to the new
republic of Cuba.

SHOULD GET THE SAME PAY.

Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, and Sena-
tor Burrows, of Michigan, have introduced
bills in Congress to increase the salary
of the rural delivery carriers. There
are 432 carriers in North Carolina and
about $4,000 in the United States. Ehe
salary now is fifty dollars a month and
every carrier must keep two horses TO
make the time that is required. The aver
age buggy necessary costs $100 and will
last only a little over a year. The horses
will cost something like $3.50 apiece. THIS
calls for an investment of about $500,
which must be replaced every few years.
The average route in North Carolina is
about twenty-five miles and some of the
roads are very bad.
City mail carriers now get $3.50 per
year and are required to keep no horses.
They carry papers only to people who
live within one mile of the postoffice while
rural carriers deliver mail to parties
living over eleven miles from Raleigh.
Rural carriers should get at least the
same salary as city mail carriers. They
have longer hours, harder work, and
must face all sorts of weather over rough
roads. The present. compensation is In
adequate.
The three things that will make rural
life more desirable are good schools, good
roads and free rural delivery. We are
getting all three and they will tend to
stop the exodus of young men of parts
from the farms to the towns. Eve
thing that can be done for this trinity
of blessings for improving country HE
should be done.
