THE DIFFERENTIATION republicans
in this State are in great glee over the
appointment of Beverly Davis as post
master at Rocky Mount The organIza-
ton had recommended the reappointment
of Postmaster Brown, but Representative
Slemp, Judge L. L. Lewis, United
States attorney of the Eastern district oil
the State Thomas Lee Moore, Robert
Blair and a number of citizens Of Rocky
Mount, called on the President on Sat
urday to urge him to appoint MIR. DAVIS,
which he did. Although the anti-organ'
ization people have been successful IN
this particular case, it is not understood
that the President proposes to change
his recognition of the organization peo-
ple. 1t is said that there were certain
special reasons why Davis was appointed
and that this act is not to be taken as
setting a precedent whereby the organi-
zation will not be allowed to dictate
federal patronage.

Des Moines, Iowa, March 2S.-One
of the most pathetic attempts at suicide
in the annals of Iowa was that of little
Madge Dunning, 13 years, of Mount Ayr,
who swallowed quantity of chloroform
because her schoolmates tainted her
about the wrecking of her fathers bank.
"That beautiful dress you have on don't
belong to YOU" said her schoolmates.
"Your fathers money did not pay fol
them. They were bought with my
fathers money and your father has made
us all poor while you lived in grand
style" This was dinned into the help.
less little girls ears once too often and
she deliberately attempted to take her
own life. She obtained bottle of chic
reform, locking herselfin her own room,
and swallowed large quantity of it.
Her physician says she will live.

DISCUSSION of the sundry civil APP
preparations bill began in the House on
Saturday and Chairman Hemenway, oil
the appropriations committee, estimated
the annual expenditures for 1905 to be
1897, SO2, S24. To this sum must De
added the interest on the public debt,
estimated at sS4, 971, $50. Revenues
for the year are estimated at $7O4, 472,-
O6O. The total estimates of the depart
ments for 1905 aggregate $747, 81, w.
an excess of SAP, S45, S62 over the reve
nues. By scaling down the estimates
and emitting to pass river and harboi
and public buildings appropriation bills,
the expenditures have been reduced
s22, 900, 900 less than the estimated
revenues. With such an exhibit the
republicans hope to show the people
that there can be no reduction IN the
tariff rates.

dispatch from Kishinefr which states that
Prince Urusof, Governor of Bessarabia,
has declined petition presented by the
Jews of the province that he postpone
till after the passover the introduction
of the expulsory law. As result all
Jews within fifty versts radius of the west
ern frontier must Immediately remove

IT Is said that hundreds of boys in
Richmond are victims of the cocaine
habit, and that it is no uncommon spec
tacIe to see youths helpless under the
effects of the drug. The use of cocaine
was supposed to be restricted mainly to
members of the cOlOred race, but it now
appears that its use is spreading alarm
ingIy among the whites. The younger
generation, in their thoughtlessness, are
contracting a dangerous habit which is
destined to make slaves of them forever.

An Advocate OF Socialism.

Chicago, March 2S.-"The workers
of the country must either accept the
present state as one always to exist, or
they must rise up and overthrow the
whole system of society, built on ex-
ploitation and robbery" said Guy Mil
Ter, president of the Telluride miners, of
Colorado, to Chicago socialists last night.
President Miller, who was deported from
Telluride because Of the outrages COM
mtted by the miners that forced Gov.
Peabody to declare martial law in the
State, was fiery in his criticism of the
law and denunciation Of the Colorado
government. He advocated socialism as
the only solution of the industrial prob
lens and appealed to his hearers to
Danish their ideals and Utopian delu-
sions and get down to arealization of the
fact that the working men of this coun-
try are in a class that is ever to be OPP
pressed unless they unite to overthrow
the system of things.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST

st. Petersburg, March %. The Car,
following the example of Russian work.
men, most of whom contribute seven per
cent o1their salaries to the war fund, has
ordered his household expenses cut at
least forty roubles daily, the proceeds to
be given to the Red Cross Society. The
Car has denied himself liquors and side
dishes such as caviare and sardines.
which are more expensive than meat in
Russia, and has curtailed his daily sup
ply of cigars. Fruit is only to be served
on state occasions. The newspaper
Novosti, however, complains that public
interest in the war is tagging. This, it
says, is particularly noticeable in the
diminished contributions to the Red
Cross funds. The paper attributes the
falling off in the contributions to the
paucity of news which is allowed to ap'
pear and the absence of public control
over the contributions.
st. Petersburg, March 2S.-Ifkof, the
War Office official who was last week ar.

n. W to the committee on useless
papers, and Mr.. Aiken (dem. S. O. to
the committee on pensions.
In committee of the whole, the sundry
civil appropriation bill was taken up.
Mr.. Gillette, of Massachusetts, made
speech on the negro question,
replying TO the recent utterances of
Mr.. Spight, of Mississippi. Southern
members, he said, have experienced
with the negro that he has never
had. To live among the negroes
of the South, where their numbers are
legion, creates conditions that do not
exist in the North. The lynching of
negroes in the South, he declared,
prompted lynching of negroes in the
North, and the safety of the nation lies
in the suppression of lawlessness that
expresses itself in the uprising of mobs
to wreak violence.
Mr.. Richardson interrupted to say
that the negro is lynched in the South
for the zone unmentionable crime.
"Let the niger" he declared, "stop the
commission Of this crime and there will
not be any more lynchiDgs."
Any accident of rank or color, through
birth, Mr.. Gillette declared gave no
social standing to any man in this
country. Every one had the right to
choose his company, no matter of what
color.
Mr.. Kitchin, asked Mr.. Gillette why
he had not invited one of the 80, 900
negroes of Massachusetts,, to dine with
him.
Mr.. Gillette's reply was that he did
not care to, but that he had right to
if he so desired.

Stout old Governor Botctourt had got
many cheer in the old days as he rode
by in his fine chariot. He was popular,
and departed this life in the odor of
liking, TO receive a statue on William
and Mary common. But for the new
governor, John Murray, earl of Dun
more, there had come to be many a
wry look. He had learned Toryism
under Lord Butte, as had the king. and
nature had made him n Scotch barba-
rian to begin with. Diplomacy to him
meant the heavy hand, and charity was
as far off as religion.
He rode along this afternoon scowl-
ing, abrupt and imperious, as usual,
and now with an extra set to his heavy
lantern jaw that BODIED no good.
Beaming alteration was in the low
courtesy that Mistress Byrd swept him
