Miscellaneous Recommendation.


The South Dakota bond case is reviewed at
considerable length by Governor Aycock, who be-
lieves that the minority of four judges of the
United States Supreme Court-who disagreed
with the five majority in this case-were in the
right. He thinks the bonds now held by South
Dakota can be settled for about $4,000. "What
shall be done with the bonds remaining outstand-
ing if this judgment is compromised is a matter
for your gravest consideration. The holders may
donate them to some State, and if so and the pres
ent decision stands, the whole value of the pledged
stock can he collected. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that the holders will feel disposed to trans
fer all of these bonds as a gift to any State that
may be willing to lend herself to the bringing of
n suit against her sister State. 1t is safe to say
therefore that the outstanding bonds may be set
tied at much less than their face value"
The Governor insists that there ought to be
ample provision made for the care of all the in
digent insane. "The Constitution requires it.
humanity demands it, and the platforms of all
parties pledge themselves to accomplish it."
Nor are the services of our Confederate sol
diers forgotten. "The State" says the Message,
"is paying out $4,000 annually as a recognition
of their services; but this is not enough. Still
further provision remains yet to be made. The
first, second and third class pensioners are not in
so much need as the fourth class pensioners. Pro-
vision should be made for the gradual raising of
the pension for each member of the fourth class
until it shall reach twenty-five dollars"
Ayeock's Administration.
This review of Governor Aycock's message
leaves us neither time nor srace to comment on
his career as Governor. But let it Il at least be said
that he retires to private life recognized by the
public generally as the greatest North Carolinian
since Vance. While other men would have been
content with the mere routine work of the office
Governor Aycock has also wrestled with the great
problems of building up the Commonwealth while
other men would have courted popularity, he has
dared to stand for principle in spite of popular
clamor against his course. A brave and fearless
statesman. his name will always have a high place
among those North Carolinians who have done the
State some service.

WHERE, OH! WHERE?
Whereabouts of Rojestvensky's Squad.
ron SUI ject Of Anxiety In Toxic.

TOXIC. April 10.-Nice Admiral Ro-
jest venSky'S second Pacific squadron
has not been reported here since it
passed Singapore. It's whereabouts and
the plans of Vice Admiral Rojestven-
sky are subjects of the keenest gen.
erai speculation.
1t is quite generally assumed that
Vice Admiral Rejestvensky does not
desire an immediate battle and that he
will attempt to reach EladiVostOk
where there are docks and shops or
seize a base.
The latter course is deemed unsat-
isfactOry on account of poor facilities
and the danger of political complica-
tiOns. Many believe that the Russian
naval commander has 4 second rendeZ-
vous in the Pacific ocean and that he
will speedily cult the China sea and go
eastward of the Philippines. If Vlldi-
vostok is his object the Pacific is con-
Sdered to be more favorable for the
accomplishment of his purpose, al
though it largely depends on Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky himself.
The Japanese newspapers and public
express relief and pleasure over the APP
prOach of the Russian second Pacific
squadron as we'll as confidence in the
ability of Togo's fleet to vanquish it.

THE ASIATlC RACES
Will Recognize Japan As Leader After
Present Struggle.

Philadelphia, April 10.-The introduc-
tory address at Saturdays session of
the annual meeting of the Academy OF
Political and Social Science was on The
Settlement of Political Affairs in the
Far East. by Gen. James H. Wilson,
as he conceives it after years of study
and extensive travel in China and
Japan.
1T was through a feeling of secur-
ity resulting from the Anglo-Japanese
alliance of 1902" said Gen. Wilson,
that the Japanese proceeded more
boldly i'm their demands upon and ne
quotations with Russia. and it is gem
orally believed by people who do not
yield to their sympathies that but for
this treaty Japan would not have be-
gun war when she did. 1t is evident
that the blame for the war. If any eX-
lists, must rest equally on Great Brit
ain and Japan"
