IN the firemen on the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad will be
declared except as the weapon of last
resort This, in effect, was the an
nouncement made by Second Vice Pres
ident Timothy Shea tonight at the close
of what was practically an all-day ses-
sion of the adjustment committee of the
brotherhood. The committee was called
to discuss the situation and count the
ballots recently cast on the question
of giving the committee full power to
act.
According to Mr.. Shea the ballot was
the largest ever cast on any question
by the brotherhood of this system and
1t is Overwhelmingly in favor of giving
the committee full authority to act as
it sees fit. The figures are not given
out.
Mr. Shea in an interview said that it
vas a determined fact that there could
be no strike this week.

Tomorrow Mr.. Shea and a sub-com-
mittee of the adjustment committee
Will go to New York to resume dis

proposed, and before their return the
plan will be arranged in all its details,
it is expected. and formally laid before
the officers of the road. So sanguine is
Mr. Shea that the plan viii prove a
solution Of the problem that he thinks
the acute stage VIII have been passed
by the mid-week and the firemen viii
be satisfied with what has been agreed
upon. In connection with Mr.. Shea's
statement it is pointed out that the
committee must move carefully III
formulating its plan, which has to take
into consideration the Brotherhood of
because of the great financial inter
eSts'' of which Mr. Shea spoke. On the
matter of his visit to New York yester-
day Mr. Shea would not say a word.
Counting the Ballots.
The meeting of the adjustment COM
mittee today continued until O'Clock
tonight. Some time was devoted to the
discussion of negotiations and the
grievance committee, which met the
directors last Tuesday, made a report.
Then the task of counting the ballots
began and for hours il proceeded Mr..
Shea left the meeting before it ad-
journed, but declined to give out a
formal statement. He seemed to be
more buoyant in spirit. however, than
at any time since the final negotia tons
have been on foot. Members Of the com
mittee repealed any attempts TO secure
interviews.
Many firemen came here today be-
cause of o report that a mass meeting
was TO be held to pass upon the ques-
ton of a strike. This was erroneous. A
few of them seemed TO favor a strike.
A report was spread that the trainmen
were considering the matter of a
sympathetic strike. but this report was
quickly disposed of when it was found
that the trainmens meeting in one Of
the local halls was the regular monthly
meeting and had no connection with
the firemen's meetings or their troubles

STATEHOOD BILLS.

Congress ought to admit each of
the territories as a separate State.
There was an implied pledge to that
effect when they were given territorial
government. -Four new States ought
to be created now and the attempt
to force an unGes;red union between
New Mexico and Arizona as one State,
and Indian and Oklahoma territories
as another State is without merit.
Some who advocate that plan wish to
defeat their admission as States in the
interest of certain great mining, rail
road, cattle and land companies, which
wish things to remain as they are.
They fear State government would put
an end to looting and would make
them pay fair taxes. They prefer gov
ernment at Washington, for they can
keep their emissaries there and do as

ONE CAUSE or COMPLAINT.

Gage E. Tarbell, one of the high

able, is quoted as saying:
II think it will be admitted that

New York the money center of the
world, which it is rapidly becoming
than the three great life insurance
companies of New York city.
That's one, and the least, cause of
complaint. The people all over the
country find that pouring their savings
into New York enables a few men who
control it to dominate the country to
take what they please, and to denude
the other cities of money that should
naturally remain at home. We are
tired of this Capitalization in New
York 1t is as bad in finance as in
government TO centre all power in

OPERATED FOR SAFETY.

There are more railroad accidents
in America than anywhere in the
world. The reason is that the owners
of American railroads spend more
thought on watering stock and manip-
ulating the stock market than in oper-
ating the roads The Government of
the Grand Duchy of Baden owns the
railroads, and the consular report OF
Joseph j. Britain has this statement:
"Owing to the careful management
of the government railways the num-
ber of accidents are comparatively
few. In the Grand Duchy of Baden,
during the past year, there were 20
derailngs; on the main lines and Ia
at depots. There were 33 persons
killed, of whom % were employees and
10 passengers; 50 persons were IN
iured of whom 81 were employees and
"a passengers. The number of passen-
gers was 33S,5S7,254."
Contrast these figures with the
frightful number of accidents in
America, and you see what govern
mental care insures. Many of the ac-
cidents in this country are due to the
refusal of railroads to provide safety
appliances, and subservient law
makers permit them to sacrifice hu-
man life in order to pile up dividends
on water. Many others occur because
employees work too many hours on
stretch and cannot therefore be as
careful as men who are not over
worked.

CHRISTMAS GREENS AND MOSS
BACKS.

Referring to the fact that a fore
handed son of North Carolina shipped
fifty-two car-loads of holly and mis-
tletoe to New York for Christmas and
got $3.50 a car load, or nearly $4,000,
the Charleston News and Courier
asks
why did not some one in Charles
ton think about that? There is no
mistletoe like our mistletoe, and as
for our holly it is nearly as beautiful
as the holly of Ireland, and the grey
moss of the low-country, which goes
we'll with mistletoe and holly for holi-
day dressing, is finer and better moss
than the moss in any other country in
the world. Our moss backs, if perad-
venture there be any such, might
make a good thing for their natural
advantages if they would only keep
their eyes open a little bit and help
to tighten on occasion both the hearts
and the pocketbookS of our Northern
neighbOrs at one and the same time"
Just tell the Palmetto folks to keep
their eyes on North Carolina and
North Carolina folks and that instead
of being poor in purse they will get
the moss off their backs by selling to
the Yankees the things not heretofore
deemed of commercial value,

so-that every graduate of the college
ought to be able to make a good
speech. There is no part of education
that is of more value to every man
than the ability to express himself
with clearness and force in a public
assemblage, and the college that pays
most attention to giving that training
to all its young men, as well as COM
pelling them to master their text
books, is the college that will do most
for it's graduates. A college graduate
will have little need of much of the
knowledge he digs out of textbooks
in his after life, but there will never
be a month when he will not find
it convenient for him to be able to
express his views in some meeting,
business, social, political or religious,
and the ability to do so we'll will give
him more power than all the know
ledge of Greek or Higher Mathemat-
les he acquired during his college
course, important as that is for mind

TO REFORM COLLEGE ATHLETICS

There is need for sensible reform
in college athletics, but the way to
secure that reform is at present dark
The meeting of the representatives of
the various colleges and universities in
New York this week ought to be of
service. The University of North Car
olina is represented by DR.. Eben Alex
ander, broad-guaged man, who while
Minister to Greece studied the Olym-
plan games and is an all-round be-
lliever in athletics. The view of Presi-
dent Eliot, of Harvard, seems to be
the wisest yet advanced. He says:
Il avail myself of this opportunity
to tell you that my own belief is that
intercollegiate football should be
stopped for one year, so that the in
dividual colleges may demonstrate in
practice, each on its own grounds,
reasonable game of football. Ihere
seems to be a wellnigh universal con-
sent that the present game is 1ntoler-
able, and surely this is a great i'm
provement in the condition of pubic
sentiment For myself, | find it i'm
possible to believe that the commit
tees, coaches and umpires VINO nave
ruined the game are to be trusted with
its reform or replacement. The eX-
perts in the ruined game are not the
persons / should select to advise about
the selection or creation of substi-
tute The fundamental difficulty with
the present game is the bad spirit in
which it is played. To get rid of TINS
vicious spirit / think we must stop in
tercollegiate football for a time. on
the whole, therefore, 1 favor separate
action by the individual colleges, and
mot conferences and conventions or
other attempts to continue intercol-
legiate football under new regula-
ltions."
The material thing to do, of course,
is to get the college executives to de-
termine to effect reforms, and to agree
upon the evils that must be ended.
That done, if their conclusion is wise,
the country will force an abandon
ment of the conditions which Rresi-
dent Eliot calls "intolerable.

of the Atlantic Coast Line is a deserved
promotion of one of the most capable
railroad men the State has known. OF
his new position the Wilmington Mes
senger says:
1.-The promotion of Mr.. Emerson car
res with it immense responsibility,
and it is the recognition by the direc-
tors of his earnest and capable work
for the road, extending over period
of many years. Mr.. Emerson came to
Wilmington in 1879 to accept the po-
sition Of transfer clerk at the old un-
icn depot. From that position he grad
ually rose in the company's service.
For many years he was general
freight and passenger agent. until
three years ago, when changes were
made in tho system. and he was ap-
pointed traffic manager, which position
he still holds, giving it up on the first
of the new year to assume control as
general traffic manager of all the traffic
over tho extensive Coast Line system
Mr.. Emerson is a railroad man of large
experience and splendid ability, and
his friends and railroad men generally
will rejoice in the deserved promotion
that has come 10 him.
