THE CLEVELAND COMEDY.

Many newspapers speak sarcastlcal
ly of a man who has been twice presi.
dent Of the United States so far for
getting himself as to feel called on to
write a letter declining further honor
of that character. They point out that
the call had not been loud, nor long,
nor In any sense unanimous. They
further point out that there is an un-
written law prohibiting third term,
which Is so we'll known of all men that
to think it could be broke amounts to
an absurdity. and that Mr.. Cleveland
should have. feared that this unwritten
law was about to be violated amounts
almost to a joke. These sentiments
come from sources not 1nfriendly to
Mr.. Cleveland, hence APE more calcu-
lated to make him ashamed that he
should have been so very very previ-
GUS. But what seems strange is that
some of his most devoted admirers
still breath the hope that the decision
is not unalterable, that he is still
ready to yield to the will of the people.
The New York World with the sa-
gacity usual with that benighted
paper prOclaims that it believes "the
demand for Mr.. Cleveland's candida
cy may yet come with a spontanaIty
and power that he will find it impos.
sible to resist
So much for that.
Senator Teller sees no use in bis
declination. Says the Senator: ssHe
is not declining anything that he could
have had"
1t Is certain that his letter is yerv
laughable because of the absurd atti-
tude in which he placed his friends.
and laughable because of the attitude
in which he has placed himself, the
attitude of doing thing be did not
want to do, and the attitude of finding

BASsETT's BLUNDER.

Prof. John Spencer Bassett of Trini-
ty College. Durham. N. c., has in the
October issue of the South Atlantic
Quarterly stated that Booker L.
Washington is good man, a Chris
tian statesman. and take him all n
all, the greatest man save Lee born in
the South in hundred years OF
course this raised storm. Some very
great men have been born in the South
in hundred years. Stonewali JACK

Albert Sidney Johnson, to say nothing
of such men as Ben HUI, Henry Grady,
or in our own mi ist. Alexander Ii. II.
Stuart or John B Baldwin. Such Ian
guage is too si.ly to discuss seriously.
Y ct it is not to be wondered at that
the people of North Carolina whose
sons were being educated and were
likely to be educated at Trinity Col
lege, have objected seriously to such a
person remaining in position where
he could teach such rot to their chill
dren. There is no more accounting
for the frequency with which men who
ought to know better act the fool.
than there is for the frequency with
which men who ought to be honest
commit laceny or other graver crimes.
The judgment of the we'll educated. in
fact brilliant men, ofteue goes estray.
The crime is not so grave usually as
when they are guilty of offeDses which
carry with them moral turpitude, but
nevertheless misguided judgment
often amounts to very grave offense.
Now possibly Mr.. Bassett had been
living life of rather painful OBSCURE
ty, and be wanted the world to know
who be was. 1t often happens with
just such persons that they seize an
opportunity just as burglar seizes a
jewel and rushes away with it. Not
because the person voicing the senti-
ment believes what he says, because
such a statement as Prof. Bassett g
above quoted carries absurdity if not
absolute falsehood in every ineament
of the utterance, but because he knew
it would bring him noteriety, thing
he doubtless painted for with passion.

He has expressed sentiments which in
the mind of Mr.. Roosevelt and Bos.

may be at once rewarded with place
by Mr.. Washington's friend in the
| White House, and he>may be invited
by the bean eaters to lecture befor'
some society for the elevation OF mon
keys to men, somewhere near Bunke
Hill monument. Who knows. On
thing is certain that Mr.. Bassett ha
ended his usefulness In North Carroll

annexation Bill Passes the Senate.

The Anderson bill. providing for the
of territory to cite Of the
State, passed the senate Friday and
was sent over to the house.
The bill Is exactly the same-except
as to minor detaiIs-that was passed.
by the senate last winter after a pro-
tracted fight. The bill provides that
a notice of intention to annex territory
shall be ordained by councils of cities,
then copy posted at the court house
and a copy of the same printed in q
newspaper. Then the attorney for the
Common for the city which
proposes TO annex territory may move
the circuit court for an0rner to extend
the metes aud bounds within certain
prescribed limits. Residents of the
proposed annexed district may appear
| by counsel and be made parties defend
ant. The governor is to designate
some other judge than the judge Of the
city to sit in the case.
| Senator Cogbill then made speech
in which he opposed the bill reported
by the committee. He said 1t was the
old fight of last winter, which permits
a Judge of a court to determine the
question. He proposed the substltu-
tion of the Gordon bill defeated last
winter, for the measure under consid.
Grafton. The latter bill provides fol
the vote of the people in the proposed
annexed territory to vote On the ques
tion of being annexed.
Senator Anderson, OF Richmond, de
Tended the bill reported by the commit
tee, making a speech of half all hour
10 which he showed the fairness of the
bill under considera ton Would thu
people who lived in the districts imme
diately adjoining the boundaries Of
cities vote to come in and assume {
part of the city's taxes They enjoy
ed the pavements, the lights, sewers
police and fire protection and would
never vote to pay for the same wher
they could be obtained for nothing.
The more progressive Western and
Southern States had laws which enabled
the councils to annex territory by the
adoption of an ordinance. The bill
said be was to his mind, absolutely
fair and impartial.
The bill provided that the tax rate
should not be increased in the annexed
territory within five years. while all
the evenues from such additional ter
retory shall be expended within such
annexed territory for improvements.
The city Is to assume pro rata OF
the obligations of the county when
territory is annexed.
The vote was first taken Oh the sub
stitute offered by MIR. Cogbill, and it
! was rejected-ayes, s; noes, 20.
The bill was then engr Ossed and
passed by recorded vote, larger than
| the first vote taken on the PROPOSE

Writing History of Germans in virginia

General John E. Roller. of Harrison
burg, was in Washington for several
days. He has entered the field of let
tiers, and is believed by many to be the
best informed man in Virginia on the
history of the German citizens in the
Old Dominion. He is now collecting
material for history of this import
ant element in Virginia civilization
and in ransacking the country for data
concerning the Germans of the State,
past and present. He says that the
Congressional library has entered the
market as buyer of the publications
from the old Christopher Saur press,
the first German press In America. and
that they are paying whatever price
is asked for them. However, he is
succeeding in getting together quite a
valuable collection of early German
publications. and III this respect bis
collection is doubtless the most valua'
