THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.

The settlements made upon the
| queen Of Spain by King Alfonso
amount to ninety thousand dollars a
veal during the life of the king n
| fifty thousand annually should she be-
| come a widow. This is enough to keep
her in pocket change. She has great
expectations though. 1t is understood
that Empress Eugene, widow OF Napo-
leon III. will leave her the greater
part of her property. The empress is
immensely wealthy. The Spanish
queen is named after her and has al
ways been a great %favorite with the
empress. who has resided at Chlsel-
hurst in England ever since her hus-
band was dethroned. The empress,
being a Spaniard, is no doubt. greatly
pleased at her favorite becoming the
queen of her native country and may,
therefore. be expected to increase the
portion of her estate b has hereto
fore assigned to her in her will. So, it
is likely that the queen Of Spain will
in time be one of the richest queens in
Europe. She has all to make her life
happy. Hers was a "love-match.' A
real attachment had sprung up between
her and the king some time ago. She
will have great wealth and occupies a
position of prominence among the royal
families of Europe.
This is the fourth marriage which has
taken place between royal families OF
Great Britain and Spain. The first was
that of John of Gaunt, son of Edward
III. who married the daughter Of Peter
the Cruel in the fourteenth century.
Then cam: the unfortunate marriages
of Henry VIII to Catherine Of Aragon
and of Queen Mary, her daughter, to
King Philip. It is to be hoped that
| the married life of the present king
and queen will be far different from
that of the last two royal couples men,
toned.

ROYAL VISIT HERE URGED
THE Telegraph Favors Trip of King
Edward to America.

The Daily Telegraph" in an edito-
rial article this morning strongly IA
vors King Edwards acceptance of the
invitation to visit Canada. The Tele-
graph" thinks the British public has
not yet awakened to a full ~apprecia-
ton of the extraordinary interest OF
such a visit, which would be likely
also TO involve a trip to Washington,
and perhaps to New York. The news
paper recognizes that possibly there
are state reasons in the way Of such a
visit, but urges that Canada is a liv-
ing link between the American Repub-
lie and the British Empire. and that
If it can be accomplished 1t would be
not merely historic, but memorable
beyond all example in the record Of
royal journeys. The alliance with ia
pan, the understanding with France,
the better relations with Russia, fol-
lowed by a visit to Washington and a
meeting with President Roosevelt,
which would be a dramatic moment,
sealing the reconciliation of the Anglo
Saxon races for ages to come, would
make the years of his majesty's inhu-
ence more memorable and benefcfent
than any equal period of any previous
REHABILITATION Dispatch.

THE GOLDsBoRO DEPOT INJUNC
TON.

For years the people of Goldsboro
have been abusing the railroads en-
tering that city fer not building a pas
senger depot, and now that they have
a chance 10 get one il is headed OIL
by an Injunction. The railways have
for a long time expressed their will
ingness to build a union depot II the
citizens would agree On a location
This the latter could not do because
some Of the business men on the malr
street, where the trains now stop,
would not agree TO have the depot 10
Gated further from the center or he
town. Present conditions became
such a nuisance that appeal was made
to the corporation commission TO set
tie the dispute between the two fac
tons. The commission decided upon
the location thought to be the best by
both the railroads and the majority OF
the citizens. Because the few VIC
do not want trains taken off b main
street. where no depot can be erectS
ed. could not have their way they have
sought the aid of the courts and nave
had a restraining order issued against
the contemplated location of the de-
pot. The order was issued by Judge
o. H. Allen, to be heard by Judge w.
r. Allen in Goldsboro on June both.
This, of course, will delay matters and
the travelling public will be just Il a
much longer subjected to the great
inconvenience which has already eX-
listed for far too long a time. The
few persons in GoldsborO who object
to the building of a passenger station
there seem t forget that the public
has some rights and privileges wnicn
should be respected and they are doing
everything in their power to prevent
an improvement on the present in
convenient and annoying conditions
! which confront every person arriving
in or departing from their city. The
injunction will hardly amount to more
than a delay of the proposed change
and an annoyance and expense to the
railroads.

NEW YORK "WIDE OPEN
Gambling Houses Everywhere-T7,e
Mayors Action Explained.
the ~up-building of a run

The Herald is authority for the
statement that under conditions
which for the present are believed to
have little If n political significance
New York city has been thrown wide
open and gambling of all kinds is be
ing carried On even more extensively
and with less attempt at secrecy than
was done when William S. Devery was
in control of the police department."
it is further stated on good authority
that e~ighty-nine gambling houses have
peen opened in New York since May
l, and it is added that these do not
include pool rooms, which exist by the
score in every borough" The Herald
article goes on to say that " it would
be unjust to place responsibility for
the present remarkable resumption OF
gambling beyond police headquarters
and perhaps the Office of the district
attorney. The gamblers assert that
they are doing business without let or
hindrance, and that they are paying
for protection only to men who are
believed to be able to influence the po-
lice captains and inspectors" Such a
situation in a city with a conscientious
executive like Mayor Mcclellan at the
head Of the government seems strange
10 the point Of disblief, and yet the
paper quoted is generally accurate in
its statements of alleged fact. II
quotes a close personal and political
friend Of Mayor Mcclellan" as saying
that the mayor is keeping his hands of
because he oes not want a repetition
OF the experience he had with William
McAdoo, who has loudly asserted that
when he was commissioner of police
he was interferred with and prevented
from getting the best results from his
office. In a general way the mayor
knows what Is going on, but he is said
to have determined to give Commits
sioner Bingham plenty Of time and op-
portunity to develop any policy he
may have In contemplation. II anoth-
Ell police failure is TO be registered the
time for Mayor Mcclellan to act will

onstrated. For him IL is said that

The Smoot case has now reached the
second stage-action by the senate on
the report of the committee that he be
ousted from his seat. 1t looks now as
if the case will be decided before the
expiration of this congress. There are
many people who thought the commit
tee would not make a report, o. if il
did that it would be at such a late date
that the senate would not have time
to act before the expiration of this
congress. Senator Shoots term ex-
pires in March, 1909. That there was
an understanding between the republi.
cans and the Mormons at the time Of
the last presidential election no one
car doubt. The former aow go bach
on their friends who, for the sake of
seat in the senate, helped them out in
that election. The pressure from thu
other side has been too great for then
to stand by their bargain, and, besides
they had already gotten all that wa.
coming to them under the agreement
so Mr.. Smoot must go.

SIGNIFICANT GREETINGS.

Harper's Weekly pays its respects TO
the public men who have been brought
into prominence by the recent proceed
ings in the senate on the railway rate
bill i'm the following words of greeting
10 them:
To BENJAMIN r. Misunderstanding!
In at least a score OF years no man IN
public life has reversed so quickly and
so advantageously popular opinion OF
himself. The country now knows you
for what you are-an honest. capable,
and generous statesman, equal TO an
controller of a naturally
unruly tongue. tenacious of your W
and the peoples rights, an earnest foe,
! vet unwilling wen in a m of ex-
cessive irritation TO withhold from
! your most bitter enemy frank and
i, manly recognition of the credit justly
his due, ~squarely and successfully risen
TO with the sympathetic h~elpfulness Of
the noblest Roman of them all. For
tunate indeed is he who possesses the
friendship of William B. Allison.
To Joseph W. Bailey-Gresting! To
have established, in a single debate, a
| reputation for pre-eminence as a law
yer, an orator, and a statesman, among
| colleagues of genuine and recognized
ability. was an achievement worthy Of
! a Benton Or a Clay.
: To Nelson w. Aldrich-Greeting!
Sagacity, determination, and courtesy,
| supplemented by the faith of ones fell
! lows, make for and retain true leader
ship.
To Joseph B. Foraker-Greeting!
Conviction, the courage thereof and the
respect therefor be yours.
To President notwithstanding!
There is a whole lot to be understood
in the words of greeting to Mr.. Roose-
welt which are made conspicuous by
their absence. The greeting to the pres
ident is more cutting than if it had
contained many words of criticism OF
the part he played in the affair.
We do not understand why Harper
should have overlooked Mr.. Chandler
He surely should have been classed
with Mr.. Tillman and the others who
took part in the sensational affair. He
/ played as prominent a part as any OF
the others and came out of the ARRAY
with flying colors.

The News Reporter, of Whiteville,
announces that Mr.. J. P. Virgins has
assumed the editorial and business
management of that paper. Brother
Virgins says his paper will not be the
organ Of any man or set of men, but
will be a paper for all the people" and
that the paper will be devoted to the
religious. moral, social, educational and
Industrial interest of Columbus coun-
ty." Nothing is said about the politics
of the paper, but if the editor carries
out his intentions as above expressed
he will be of much greater benefit to
the people of his county than if he IN
dertook to publish a political paper.
We wish him success in his new upder-
taking.

The sundry civic appropriation bill
carries $4,000 for White house ex-
penses for the next fiscal year. This is
the largest sum ever appropriated for
this purpose. Among the items is $685.
900 to pay the travelling expenses of the
president and his suite. This is the
first time such appropriation has ever
been made. We expect to hear much
protesting against it from all sections
of the country; but, at the same time,
it will receive the approval of very
many thoughtful persons. 1t is moth
ing but right that the president should
make visits to all sections of the
try, and he should not be required to
pay the heavy expenses of such trips
out of his salary and he should not &C
cept free transportation and service
from the railroad companies. Even
when his journeys are not strictly on
public business, but for the purpose OF
making public addresses or attending
great gatherings of the people on com-
memorative occasions he should not be
forced to travel at his personal ex-
pense, for he is in such cases perform
ing an important duty of his Office
mixing with the people, studying their
conditions and characteristics and al
lowing them to become more familiar
with the mar they have chosen as their
president.
