Better Not Appeal TO Roosevelt.

Greensboro Telegram.
An awkward state of affairs has
arisen in the Government Printing Of
flee in Washington. A North Caro-
linian, John ". Martin of MorgamOn,
has to work and eat his luncheon in
closer proximity to a cOlOred printer
than he relishes. All of Mr.. Martin s
superiors, on being appealed to for
relief, tell him that the President has
ordered that there be no discrimina-
ton against negroes and that there
is nothing for Mr.. Martin to do but
grin and bear it. or make use of one
of the resignation blanks which he
has been told are conveniently near
him. OF course there are various
courses of action which Mr.. Martin
could take but we would advise him
not to try to get President Roosevelt
to revise his regard for the negro, but,
insteaI, to quietly withdraw and let
the President change the hue of the
whole printing: Office If he SO desires.
There is plenty Of work in North
Carolina for the right sort Of !nln.

the State ought to repeal the action
OF 1879; call upon ali creditors who
funded their old bonds upon the basis
of twenty-five cents III the dollar to
come forward and to issue them adj
di,ional bonds for seventy-ive cents
more in every dollar; and to legally
repudiate the settlement made in
1879. If we are too honest to refuse
to pay at par with interest for forty
years the $134,000 outstanding for
the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road, we must be too honest to refuse
to issue additional bonds to the hold
ing of more than million dollars

There are but two courses open to
the State:

So far as North Carolina is con-
cerned. in 1879 the General Assembly
took under consideration the whole
matter of the indebtedness of North
Carolina. 1t repudiated all the Spe-
cial Tax bonds, and adjusted all other
Indebtedness upon terms then
everywhere regarded as just and fair,
The best evidence of the fact that II
was a just settlement, is the fact that
nearly all the creditors refunded their
ole bonds upon the terms proposed.
No interest had been paid upon the
debt contracted before the war all
the property in slaves had been wiped
out, the value of land and all other
property had deprecated more than
seventy-flve per cent, thousands OIL the
best Young men in the South had been
killed or manned in battle, and North
its public debts and it's people were
unable to pay their private debts 1t
was no fault of the State or the peo-
ple. The owners of State bonds saw
that the State could not pay. They
saw that if it promised to pay dollar
for dollar. it could not keep it's prom
Uses. Therefore, in 1879, with all the
lights before them, the wisest men In
the State adjusted the State debt.
The carpet-bag debt was utterly re-
undated. and all other debts were
adjusted after mature, consideration
and an earnest desire to do exactly
what was right. They paid in most
instances, in new bonds every cent
that the State had obtained. In every
instance they did what the dictates of
Justice and fairness demanded. The
creditors, who could be consulted, and
the debtors agreed upon the terms,
and all the debt except a few thous-
and dollars of bonds issued for the
which furnished basis for the South
Dakota suit, and $4,000 issued for

Suddenly, the "HIGHER UP" in !

force the State to pay the par value
for the bonds they hold, or to sell both

a bigger sum than all other creditors

THE REPUDIATED SOUTHERN
BONDS.

1t is now generally believed that the
South Dakota bond case is to be made
the entering wedge for the re-openlhg
of the bonds repudiated or refunded
by the Southern States after Recon-
struction. The New York Sun, Whlch
has been interested in the matter OF
Southern bonds, publishes commun-
ication from Concord, North Carolina
bv a gentleman who describes himself
as "a Pennsylvania Republican" He
thinks all the repudiated Southern
bonds ought to be paid in full by en-
appropriation from the Federal Treas

be paid, not because they are no lest
debts but because, while they are ont

says:
II can see but one just and right
way out of the difficulty. 1t is II way

Southern people decided to pay those
which they felt they were under D.

and not to pay the others. Not know
ing whether the writer of the
letter, from which the foregoing eX-
tract is made is interested in the re-

given to what he says. 1t is DOUBT
