MUM AS OYSTERS.
Raleigh Aldermen Continue Playing
Election City Attorney.

Till after eleven o'clock last night
the eight aldermen of Raleigh, plus
Mayor Johnson. sat in solemn con-
clave, or eonclave more or less solemn
in the mayors office Again they did
nothing towards nominating city at
torney.
AS 70 what they did in the "star
chamber" the public is only allowed
to guess, as the only reply given to
reporters when the nine emerged on
the street below was I'VE did nothing.
1t is Just as it was before"
One alderman ventured to say See
Mayor johnson, he can tell you" but
Mayor Johnson declined to murmur
of the wonderful inner doings saying
Il was not part of the caucus.
have nothing to say"
There were evidences however that
the meeting had not been a peaceful
one. Two of the aldermen were grum-
bling at each other about something
or other, and a third seemed to think
that the search for information for the
public was prying into affairs that
the public ought not to know.
So the eight again marched up
the steps and down again last
might, and the answers. meagrc and
scant and barely given at all would
lead one to believe that w. B. Snow
had four votes. Walter l.. Watson
three and r. n. Simms one, white
various ballots scattered around. That
of course is only a guess. as the alder
maniac caucus is tight affair and if
you want to be in it you must get to
be an alderman.
Yes, there was something else talk
ed about. as one alderman while drift
ing away said. 1--WE only ballotted a
few times, and talked about the patrol
wagon for the police"
In a few nights more or less the
secret caucus will again perform, and
something may or may not be done.
As to which the public is kindly per-
mitted to guess.

The Present Aspect OF Railway Rate
Regulation.

The wisdom of the Senate in declining
TO Join in the House stampede over
the railway rate question is becoming
more and more evident There are signs
of return TO the normal standard of
national and Congressional sanity.
One of the speakers at the recent dim
ner of the Community of Freight Traffic
exist without the shipper" 1t is well for
railways TO appreciate that fact. IL is
equally important for the public to UNI
derstand that the shipper cannot exist
without the railway and that railways
cannot exist unless they can make a
fair margin OF profit.
The voices of experts. OF stockholders
and of shippers are now finding their
places in the discussion. That which
Mr.. MCCALL so aptly characterized as
"a sudden popular rage" is spending IT'S
force, and sober second thought is taking
it's turn. Unreasoning impetuosity is
giving way to intelligent consideration
of the question.
Until more specific evidence is pro-
duced that the present system Is funda-
mentally wrong and that its operation
is clearly detrimental TO the commercial
and industrial welfare of the land nothing
except danger can attend experiments
whereof the outcome is doubtful at the
best. and utterly ruinous at the worst.
II is well to have the Townsend-Esch
bill burg up in Senate committee for
a few months The country will know
more about the matter. and think more
soundlv on it. six or eight months hence.

such encourage its adoption ty silly or
unwary feminine imitators.
The preachers at present are making
a good deal of an cutlery about another
fashionable practice or pastime. 1t Is
gambling among women at bridge. I'm
doubtedly there is now something OF
mania for that sort of gambling among
the women who are esteemed or who
would be esteemed fashionable They
hurry from the dinner table to the gam
bling table. They organize clubs and
circles in which bridge playing goes on
at all hours of the day. and sometimes
they lose or win very considerable sums
of money in their gambling. We have
heard OF instances where women are
verltable sharpers and "ropers-n. For
example, young woman who was in
vited to a luncheon at private house
and on it's conclusion inveigled by her
hostess into gambling at bridge, on the
pretence that the stakes we're merely
nominal, was terrified when she was called
on by the hostess at the end of the game
to pay Immediately losses amounting to
two or three hundred dollars. That is
only one of scores OF similar experiences
which ore currently related.
Like cigarette smoking, gambling,
however, is only passing mania which
will cure itself. The very circumstance
that there are houses of women OF FASH
ion which have grown to be dreaded
gambling resorts, and hostesses who are
feared as pertinacious tempters of young
people to gamble away money they can
not afford to lose, has already made the
practice so obnoxious that the end OF
the vogue must be at hand. No bill
need be introduced in the Legislature
to stop it, Sharp women are the most
dangerous and the most remorseless OF
gamblers, and women who lose money
to them, no matter how fashionable
those who set up the game may be, will
eventually put their rapacious hostesses
into Coventry.
In the cycles of fashion the vogue OF
both gambling and tobacco using by
women has risen and fallen; and the past
experience will be repeated now Neither
legislation nor preaching is needed to cure
the evil 1t will be cured only when it's
sufficient development Of mischief has
shown its danger and it's disadvantages.

TESS our inability to answer such ques-
ton. Apparently, the principal bene-
ficiaries will be the gentlemen whose
activities result in bulling cotton to
fifteen cents a pound, and in bearing it
TO six cents pound, 10 the general
disturbance OF the legitimate cotton
market
In casual way only we venture the
suggestion that the aforesaid semi
monthly report be suppressed and that
the proposed expenditure be devoted
to some more profitable object If IT Is
thought necessary TO spend the money.
We would also risk the suggestion that
one departmental report on the subject
ought to be sufficient for all proper
purposes and that the public Treasury
ought to have the benefit OF the suppress
sion of the other.
The importance Of the cotton supply
in our national economy liz beyond ques-
ton. Its annual value is approximately
$3.50. 900. Tho wheat crop, on which
we also get reports, represents a similar
valuation. The hay crop represents
more than either of these and the egg
crop, on basis of 20 cents dozen,
is said o represent nearly as much, or
about $500, 900, 00o.
Why not have frequent reports on the
hay crop and egg crop also?
