a boy some 40 odd years

lilies from Dubuque went to
eastern Nebraska and the 81
sacks of -four they took
along had to last them three
years for white bread. To
show a Nebraskan the way
the pioneers of this state
live, be once took one of his
visitors unexpectedly in at
noon on a settler near ORR
e1t. They were soon sitting
at a table loaded with two
kinds of meat, two kinds Of
bread, native sauces, two
kinds of pie, coffee and tea,
butter, cheese, sweet and
common potatoes. etc. The
Nebraskan could hardly
understand why the pioneers
here were living SO fat COM

RUssIA-s FUTURE NAVY.

1T looks as if Russia wants TO urn
over to the keeping OF tile United
States all of her warships which es-
capped Togo's feet Several more Of
her war.hips, showing effects of the
japanese guns, have been sighted sail
ing toward the Philippines. None that
escaped could hardly he able Il reach
E~ladivostok. Necessity comTels them
to seek some neutral port. Those that
do ind safety liz the Russian port will
eventually fall into tie hands Of the
enemy unless peace is soon concluded.
While Russia will he deprived, until
the war Is over. OF the use o: those
Vessels which, seek safety in neutral
ports, she will have the satisfaction Of
seeing them 1y the Russian flag on the
high seas after the announcement of
peace. About the only Iavy Russia
will have at the end of the war will
be such of her warships rs took refuge
in ports of other nations, those bottled
up in the Black Sea by international
stipulations and the few that are at
Kronstadt. This will put her low down
on the list Of naval powers
General Linevitch may declare that
the destruction of the Pacific feet does
not interfere with his plans or cripple
him, but no n understands him to
expect his statement to be believed. He
cannot deny that the Japanese naval
victory makes certain the capture of
Nladivostok at an early date. If the
Russian generals army is in such
splendid condition and of sufficient
strength to assume the aggressive it is
strange that he does not give battle to
the japanese. The latter have been
waiting the outcome of the naval en-
Sagement. Now that it has resulted in
such a signal victory we may look for
the land forces to resume activity. The
EeXt on the programme is a pitched
battle between the two land forces,
and it will be fought when and where
it suits Oyama. It will be another
case of the Russians Out-generaled and
defeated as much through superior
strategy as by heroic fighting on the
Fart of the japanese.

IMMIGRATION.

We are glad to see that Governor
Glenn and Senator Simmons are urg-
ing the state board of agriculture to
take steps to CURE the proper class
of immigrants for our state. Our peo-
pie might learn some valuable lessons
IL this matter from South Carolina.
Her immigration bureau has been very
successful in turning immigration that
way. She has through her agent sue
ceeded in settling a number Of the
most desirable class of citizens in the
agricultural districts. That state has
rot been content to have a mar at
work among the new arrivals on the
piers in the northern cities, but has
sent an agent to Europe to work up
the immigration business and secure
there the kind Of settlers wanted. We
would prefer to see our new citizens
come from northern and western
states. There is where the greatest eff
fort should be made to secure men al
ready speaking our language and ac-
custOmed to our ways of living and
our methods of farming; but if we
cannot get these, then we should turn
to the foreigners. There are good citi-
zens among them arriving on our side
every day. We should make greater
efforts than are now being put forth to
secure settlers from one or the other
or both of these classes. Immigration
of the right kind is what our state
needs. We want men with small cap
ital who will purchase farms and bring
them to high state Of cultivation. We
want to see the lands now lying idle
under guilty alton by small land own
ers who will bring them to Il high
stage of productiveness. This is what
immigration will do for our state.

eral condition Of cotton is indicared

which has been actively carried or,
although a large part of the crop Is
still in grass with insufficient labor.
nights over the northern portion OF
the central districts have checked the
advance Of cotton, but, as a whole,
growth has been satisfactory, especial

THAT LEASE.

We thought the lease of the Atlantic
and North Carolina railroad had been
settled long ago and that the fight
was over; but that is not the case.
We see from the New Bern Journal
that the commissioners of Craven coun-
ty are going to test the legality Of the
lease; they will try to have set aside
what they call the attempt to lease
the property. 1t looks to us like ii
was a pretty successful attempt" those
in authority made to lease the road.
We are sorry that this contention is
to be revived by a lawsuit, which we
take the action of the commissioners to
mean. 1t will be unfortunate for the
state-and it may work some harm to
the democratic party if it's members
begin to fight each other in the courts
on this question. There is nc p%osslbil-
nulling the lease. The only result of
such contest will be the opening of old
sores and the stirring up of unfriendly
feeling. We would like to know On
what ground the claim of illegality of
the lease is based. We take the fol-
lowing editorial from the New Barn
Journal on this subject:
At the June Meeting of the 1nagis-
trates and board of commissioners Of
Craven county. in Joint session. resolu-
ton was offered and adopted, which
instructed the county commissioners to
look into the matter of what was
termed the attempted" lease of the
Atlantic and North Carolina railroad
property. the lease first going to the
HOwland Improvement Company, and
the property since being d the
direction of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Company.
The discussion at the meeting was
long. and led to a great deal Of talk,
which indicated that the farmers and
the business men. the shippers, of this
city and county feel that the lease has
worked them an injury.
But this fact. that the people of Cra-
ven county find that the lease has not
worked tC their benefit. but rather
otherwise. is no argument for attempt
ing to set aside the lease.
Those behind the resolution admit
this. and say that the lease is not legal.
and it is merely an "attempted" lease
which cannot stand in aw.
In all this matter The Journal sees
nothing new. That the lease would
work against this city. had been fore
told. The legal status has been gone
over time and again, and it remains to
be seen what action the commissioners
of this county. will take. in proving
that there is no legal lease of this At
lantic and North Carolina property,
only an "attempted' one which can
have no standing. therefore h al
legged lessees have no right to con-
tinuc to operate this railroad property.

1t Scores a Triumph i'm tho Victories
of Japan.

Great though the victory for japan
is, it finds a parallel in the victory
gained for Great Britain through Brit
ish diplomacy and by means of .Japan-
csc military efficiency. Great Britain
has but to keep peace with its ally.
Japan, in order to maintain it's place
in the forefront of nations. What if
lost in prestige by the prolonged war
in South Africa it has regained in The
held Of diplomacy. Russia. its tradi-
lOn enemy, has been d~iSaStrOusIy
defeated, so that it cal no longer men,
ace either India or the B~OspnOrOus.
Great Britain has been made secure in
its possessions, and it's diplomacy, at
che time not greatly credited, has been
Vlndlcated in the highest degree.
In this we see q repetition of history
for the last two centuries. Great Brit
ain has maintained a powerful fleet,
and under the leadership of Nelson in
the NepOleOnic wars, it gained many
glorious victories. But it's chief tri-
umphs have been achieved by its dip
lomatic agents and through the wis
dom and skill Of it's foreign Office. In
all its great wars in more than a CEN
fury, except those with the United
States, it has secured the aid Of valua-
bic allies. Except on the sea, it was
supported in it's conflicts with Napo-
leon by enemies of the French on the
continent: and yet in the Crimean war
against Russia it's diplomacy secured
for it the valuable aid and cooperation
of France.
We may presume that the Japanese
are not unmindful of the debt that
they w Great Britain, for it was the
force of British prestige and it's alli-
ance with Japan that enabled the lat
ter to make h loans requisite to the
prosecution of the war; and it was the
obligation of Great Britain to go to
the aid of Japan in case the latter
should be attacked by two powers,
which more than anything else kept
France from joining hands with Rus
STA in the present conflict. Japan will
not only acknowledge this obligation,
but it will also recognize that the Brit
ish navy can command respect for
British rights and British interests in
the Orient.
The alliance between Great Britain
and Japan looked at first as though it
would prove of little value to the Brit
ish, but now it is seen to have been a
master stroke of diplomacy, for
through it Great Britain becomes a
sharer in the Japanese victOry.-Den-

THE REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER
FIGHT.

The Greensboro Record seems to
think hat it is going to be a ones;ded
fight between the two new republican
papers. We are sorry to hear that. We
hoped the opposing forces would be
evenly enough balanced to put up a hot
fight. We hope The Record is mistak-

Ger Blackburn. That paper says:
1t begins to look like the industrial
crowd had E. Spencer down. They

asked why he did not &c where he was
unknown and pass as 4 white man

BODIES ~ENTIFIED
Two Boys Burned to DcatI, at Attain
tic City. y. j.

Atlantic City, \. j., June 6.-The
bodies of two boys who met a horri-
BILE death by cremation on the beach
his afternoon have been identified as
those of Ordner j. Delaney and William
Jeffries of this city, aged seven and
five years respectively. The two boys
were inseperable companions. They.
had gone to a brush heap of pine ,ress
on the beach from at New Hampshire
avenue which trees were TO be used TO
build a jetty. They dug a hole oe-
meath a pile and crawled under. It
is believed they had matches. for soon
the brush was ablaZe and before they
could crawl out they were cremated.
Their charred bodies were scarcely
recognizable. Firemen who responded
TO put out the blaze did not know the
boys were under the brush until a
hoseman lifted one end of the brush &c
get a stream of water under it. He
then saw the two burned bodies side
by side.
