Jews in the Cabinet.
Farmville, (Va.) Herald.

The New York Times is authority
for the statement that while Oscars s.
Straus of New York, is the first Jew
to accept Cabinet position, two
Others have declined. Joseph Selig-
man declined the Secretaryship OF the
Treasury in Grants administration,
and Isador Straus defined the posi-.
tion of Postmaster General under
Cleveland.
Ridgway's Weekly says that Mr..
Straus sis the only Hebrew with the
exception OF Carl Schurz to receive
appointment to "a cabinet position in
the history OF the government" We
confess that it is news to us that Carl
Schurz was a Hebrew.
1t will be recalled that Jefferson
Davis had in his cabinet Judah p.
Benjamin, a Jew, who had represent.
ed Louisiana in the United States
Senate. Mr.. Davis first appointed
him to the Department Of Justice.
He was then transferred to the De.
partment Of War, and in 1862 he
was made Secretary of State, and
held this position until the overthrow
of the Southern Cause" He shared
with Robert Tombs the reputation
OF being the brains of the Confed.
eracy.
BENJAMIN was a man of wonderful
ability. His farewell speech in the
Senate on February 4th, 1861, was
one of the greatest ever heard in the
halls Of Congress. and was an unan-
swerable argument as to the right oi
secession

No War Of the Rebellion.
Raleigh Time,-

Forty wears after the surrender o
General Lee the United States govern
ment makes amends for that which
has been most offensive to the peo-
Pile of the South. No more will the
great struggle between the states be
designated in official documents as
the War OF Rebellion, but it will be
known hereafter as the Civil War.
Without Il single dissenting vote the
senate agreed to the substitute
terms, but not until a vigorous pro-
test had been entered by represen-
tatives from this section The aues-
tion was submitted to u vote dur
ing the consideration OF the pension
bill, regarded by many as the pen
sion grab or steal, and the view may
be expressed by some that senator's
from the North were willing to ac-
cept the new term for fear that the
pension bill might have been defeated
had they opposed it.
Naturally, the effect of this senate
resolution will be the elimination of
the obnoxious reference to the Civil
War in American histories and school
books for students out of the South.
''lt is not simply that we no longer
quarrel with each other" says the
New York Times, "but that for the
bitter and deadly quarrel of the re-
cent past there is substituted a real
and warm and strong friendship,
and that the union which was rent
by war is now the object of general
respect, affection, pride. Only the
other day the papers of the South
were discussing whether, had Long
street adequately carried out the
plans OF Lee at Gettysburg, foreign
recognition woulI not have brought
the real triumph of the Confederacy
through separation dictated before
! Washington. Today the faintest
semblance of a threat by any foreign
government to interfere with the
affairs of the union in any part OF
the globe would bring all sections to
arms for the common defense. TIC
what is such a marvellous change
due? Primarily, of course, to the
character of our people, their price
less Inheritance from their Anglo
Saxon fathers, which makes politica
action not Il matter of theory anC
logic and consistency, but of SOUND
sense and high expediency. And
after that, to the long schooling in
democratic method which makes the
will of the majority, even if it have
to be sustained by force, the fina
arbiter."

An Unfortunate Speech.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
1t is not that Senator Tillman
loves the negro more but that he
hates the President worse. We have
no right to doubt that he is sincere
in the belief that the President ex-
ceeded his authority in dismissing
from the service the battalion which
figured at Brownsville, but it is to be
very much regretted that he did not
omit great part of his speech Of
Saturday and modify what remained
OF it. A speech such as, from a
United States Senator, does the
South great wrong. Naturally it is
received as an accurate expression of
Southern sentiment, which it is not
at all, as relates to either the negro
Or the President. The violent, IRA
tional hatred which Mr.. .Tillman bears
the negro is very unlike well-born
Southern man and Mr.. Tillman is
well-born. The class of men referred
to know the necessity Of holding the
negroes in hand, but are tolerant OF
their minor foibles and infirmities
and the sentiment entertained to-
ward them is kindly. The differences
between Senator Tillman and the
President are personal and the dis
like of the former of the latter is not
nearly go difficult to count for as
is his insane prejudice against the
negroes, whom he neglects no oppor-
tunity topillory and topillory whom
he makes opportunity when it is
lacking. He frankly admitted in his
speech of Saturday that il his feeling
toward the negro is not one OF ha-
tired it is closely akin to it.
The whole tenor OF the speech was
unfortunate and ill-advised and it
was with good reason, we have no
doubt, that Senator Patterson,
Democrat, of Colorado, expressed the
belief that whereas the next Senate
would have but two Democrats from
the North, such speeches as that oil
Senator Tillman imposed great
burden upon the South and upon the
Democratic party OF the North and
were helping to hasten the day when
the political dividing line would be
completely drawn between the sec.
tions
1t is true of political as we'll as OF
personal life that none can hurt US
so much as we can hurt ourselves.

Carolina, substituting one uniform
fare for all passengers. A little re-
fiection leads to the conclusion that
this is highly inadvisable. A private
letter from a distinguished citizen,
whose name carries weight, thus pre-
sents what is to the Observer n con
elusive argument:
Several times recently | have seen
propositions to take off second class cars
and reduce the frstclass fares on our
passenger trains. This policy has been
adopted in South Carolina, with which
system have had. in that State, some
little experience. The second class car
is used for two purposes: tits a smoking
car and provides for a second-class type
of passengers. With it taken off and the
smoking arrangement reduced to the lit
tie apartment in the first-class cars, the
provision for passengers who smoke is
entirely insufficient or, worse than this,
that class OF rowdy and even vulgar
passengers who otherwise use the second
class car are thrown into the first-class
cars with women and children, to say
nothing OF men who appreciate a high
type OF conduct. This rough class be-
comes exceedingly annoying and even
vexatiOus. | have been on South Caro-
lima trains with them and seen women
submit to their profanity and vulgarity
without any protection whatever. OF

should prevent such conduct on his train,
but the conductor cannot be in every car
ear at the same time and few passengers
are willing to take the risks OF difficulty
by reporting such rowdyism and miscon-
duct. | should feel that the travelling
public was overtaken with a horrible
ca'amity should this policy prevail in
North Carolina. do not think that the
general public is SO much concerned as to
the amount they pay for travel. as they
are concerned about the comfort and
protection they have while travelling"
This argument will stand scrutiny
and analysis. There are few OF us
who have not heard language and
! witnessed conduct in second-class
cars to which we would not like our
women and children subjected, and
it is idle to talk of one conductor
attending to his regular duties and
enforcing exemplary behavior all
over his train. Those who now pre-
fer the second-class car, with it's low.
er fare and greater freedom, will con
tinue to prefer it, and the smokers
all of whom cannot be crowded into
one small compartment, woul1 suffer
from the discOntinuance of the sec
ond-class car, as would also that
class of travellers who go to the Sec
ond-class car in hot weather-thougl
they may carry first-class tickets
and take off their coats
If the Legislature should continue
the two classes of cars as at present,
reduce first-class fares to 21-2 cents,
secOnd-class to 2 IA, and mileage
books to 2 cents, it would hit off the
matter about right.

Railroads and Newspapers.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.

The newspapers of North Carolina
are known 10 be the faithful and per-
siStent d+fendents of the peoples
rights. They stand for the best gov
'ernment, and in the favorite phrase
olog.y OF the times. they stand for a
square deal to every man and every
interest. And as touching the rail
roads they are rady to commend for
things co1nmenda ble and equally as
bic
In the proposed Legislation by the
General Assembly of North Carolina
in matters of ofrailroad fares and pass
ps, there seems to be an Indication
that the newspapers may be discrim-
mated against.
Heretofore, the railroads have had
the privilege of making advertising
contracts with newspapers, giving
so much mileage transportation for
so much advertising. which is legiti-
mate and right; and when a newspa-
per editor pays his fare over IL rail
road with which he has contracted to
do a certain amount Of advertising
f)r SO much mileage he is not riding
on "free pass. but is paying full
fare as much rs the man who buys a
ticket with a gold dollar.
And whatever legislation may be
enarted which will restrict the rail
roads in the issuing Of free passes.
should not apply to newspapers.
The newspapers and the railroads
ought to be considered capable OF
making their own contracts; and if
the railroads see proper to barter
transportation for advertising space
which Il newspaper has for sale, there
should be no hindrance against it.
A merchant has calico to sell and the
good country housewife has eggs to
sell. Who should say that the mer-
chant shall not give the good house
wife calico and take her eggs forpay?
No more should a railroad be him
dered from from issuing to Il news
paper editor IL ticket for transporta-
tion mot Gree pass''D and take for
it advertising space in the editors
paper.
To prohibit this is to put a check
upon the first law of barter in trade
and commerce.
