Those philanthropists. Messrs. Guy,
Ter and Finch, the former of whom
sold his stock as soon as he ha1
brought complaint, asking for a re-
ownership, and the latter OF whom
did not acquire any stock until after
he had made his complaint yesterday
asked the State Of North Carolina
and the other stakeholder of the At
antic and North Carolina railroad to
pay them $4,000 commission for the
lease OF the road. These gentlemen
have not yet found their calling. They
would make a fortune as managers Oh
Ia brass foundry. There would be no
doubt about the unlimited supply ot
the raw material,
1t must be admitted. however, thai
they have had some encouragement
in this patriotic course. There ara
certin papers in the State that have
held them up as benefactors until
they have come to imagine that they
really wore a halo apiece. It has
been claimed so long that their inter
meddling procured the lease that they
may have forgotten their own original
motives and begun to think of them
selves as pure minded philanthro-
pists. Perhaps the claim was made
in friendship with an eye to the 5
mitted, also. that, tho attorneys had
their nerve with them. 1t takes
nerve to keep ones face straight some
times when making a certain kind Of
proposition to the court and through
the newspapers to the State.
1t will be recalled that enc of these
patriots is still under bond 20 answer
to the criminal court on the charge
of a criminal conspiracy, the con-
spiracy having effected the throwing
of the States road into the hands of
receiver, with all the trouble and cost
that it has been to the State. Tha:
he should ask now to be paid by the
State that he is charged with having
conspired against for the alleged re-
suit of his conspiracy, is something
new in both law and morals.
1t is said that General Miles is
good poker player. 1t is recorded OF
him that when the American army
under Shafter at Santiago, was about
in despair of taking the city and il
danger of collapsing itself, he advised
Shafter to demand the unconditional
surrender of the city in twenty-four
hours. That bluff has just found its
parallel. Without doubt there is
some advantage in being good poke,
player, sometimes. Perhaps the men
who are standing for the State are of
a different kind from the command
er of Inflated Santiago.

A GOOD SELECTION.

ter appointment since he was inaugu-
rated than the selection of Mr.. j. w,
Granger as president of the North
Carolina railroad. AS a successful bus
mess man, resourceful political lead
er, progressive and public spirited citi-
zen Mr.. Granger is second to no man
in North Carolina. For twenty years
he has been the trusted leader of the
Democratic party in his district, has
represented it in National COnven-
tons, and has always contributed
largely to party success upon broad
lines. He has made a fortune in bus
mess and in development of Eastern
North Carolina. His selection as pres
ident of the road will be universally
approved.

KEEP OUT OF POLITICS.

In the doubtful Northern States. the
Republicans are using the free rural
delivery carriers as quiet campaign
workers. In North Carolina, in Soma
quarters, attempts are being made TO
make the carriers Republican cam
vassers. In Davidson county one
Democratic carrier has been dismissed
and Republican takes his place. In
another instance a Democratic carrier
was removed and, when investigation
was made, it turned out that some
body had forged a resignation for
him. The mysterious resignation will
be investigated and in the meantime
the Democratic carrier has been rein
stated. Subsequent Developments will
be interesting.
Good men of all parties agree in
hoping that this excellent branch of
the service will be kept out of politics.

Roads Are Blocked by High Wa
ter-MilI Hands Rescued-Ice
damned For Thirty Miles.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. 1O.-The
Hood along the Susquehanna grows
worse every hour, and despite the cold
weather the water is still rising. Much
or the rise is due to the water backing
up from the immense gorge which bot
ties up the river below Bloomsbury
and which grows stronger instead of
breaking.
Communication with the west side of
the river has been cut off, and the wa
ter is over the farm lands opposite this
city. Nanticoke is surrounded by high
water from both the river and the
creek. Plymouth is flooded along the
shore front, and street car traffic is
suspended. At Espry the streets are
under water, and the river is rising at
the rate of eight inches an hour. PeO-
pie are hurriedly leaving their homes
and fleeing to the mountains. Four
feet of water covers the Delaware,
~Lackawanna and Western tracks at
Ruper, and there no trains have gone
through on the Pennsylvania railroad.
The rapidly rising river has driven
300 people out of their homes at Plym-
outh, and a number at Nanticoke have
also been forced to leave. So rapidly
did the Hood rise that a hundred silk
mill girls at Plymouth were caught be-
fore they could escape and had to be
taken out of the second story windows
in boats. At Firwood, in the southern
part of this city, many families had to
leave their homes as the waters adj
vanced, and others who remained in
the hope of its receding were taken out
in boats. Westmoreland and the flats
opposite this city are flooded, and the
people there are cut off from this city.
The towns of Bloomsbury and Cata-
wissa. on the north branch of the Sus- !
QuehElna, are under sixteen feet of /;
water, with a flood coming down the
river upon them which threatens to
annihilate them.
A monster ice jam thirty miles long,
formed two weeks ago, is backing the
water up or all sides and gives no evil
dence of breaking.
Twenty miles above the towns, at
S~hickshinny, is another big jam. In
case this should break untold damage
will result for miles below.
People have moved from their homes
and are praying for relief.
In many cases the channel of the
river has been changed, and it is now
flowing over farm lands and through
villages.
