Dk. Grissom, we'see it stated,
will publisli a pliauiphlet con
taining the evidence and llie
speeches of his counsel. It will
donbtlesi be read with a trreat
deal of interest and pleasure,
only equalled by1 that of perus
ing his letter of resignation.
The Commissioner of Immi
gration, Mr. V. M; Wilson is
making strenuous efforts to in
duce good settlers to make their
homes in this State. He will
make a tour of the State this
fall taking in all the fairs, for
the benefit of exhibitors.
Lord Tennyson, the poet lau

.Victoria'a grand-daughter to
the Earl of Fife. lie has been
asked by the .Queen to do this.
We imagine it must be a hard
job to bottle the divine afflatus
and pour it out at will. The
spectacle, in the words of our
esteemed contemporary, the
Washington Post, is "enough to
make Pegasus fly the' track and
Its constituency weep."
Indiana is getting to be a
great place for tho negroes to
move to. The race prejudice
and color line are disappearing.
So it Is in Butler University

negro is better than he is, the
white man is right.
Shall any law say what a
man must tell and what he must
not? Tarboro llanner. Why,
certainly it shall. ' How else
can we protect the fair name of
our noble women against the
slanderous tongues of evil
minded men? The Advance
would respectfully call the at
tention of the T.anner to the
case. of the 'young man in its
sister town, Williamston, whom
Judge Clark sentenced to six
months' imprisonment and to
pay a fine of 50 if we remem
ber correctly for slandering a

Brother King, but your point in
regard to muzzling the " press
was well made. The press will
not be muzzled just yet.
We ark glad to know that
immigration such as it is to
this country has materially de
creased in he past year. It fell
off more than 100,000 during
the year ending with last June.
It was confined to- no one coun
try. Russia slightly increased
the number of bar immigrants
Russian Jews bnt she was
the only exception. U strikes
us that it is high time the stream
of foreign trash and riffraff
refuse of the great cities of all
Europe to this country should
be stopped. We don't need any
such characters. They cannot
possibly aid us, and as;citizens
of a republic they are lamenta
ble failures ; they are jncapable,
for the most part, of earning a
subsistence. During the past
seven years there have been
122,40(J families in New York
alone that one charitable organ
ization has supported. This is
but an idea of how bad the case
is. .
The race problem is assuming
a new phase. Andrew Cornegie,
the iron mill millionaire of
Pennsylvania, who is having so
much trouble with his white
laborers over the 20 per cent,
reduction in their wages, pro
poses to discharge all of them
and fill their places with ne
groes from the South; We
hope lie will succeed. His
white" laborers are hard workers
and will come South, naturally,
and take the place of the ne
groes he removes. North Car
olina can give him 2-3,000 and
more if he specially needs them.
And in a year or two the howl
that will arise from the North
ern press will be angry enough
to turn the negroes white
through fear. Take all you
want Andrew. Just get the ne
gro preachers, give them ?2j a
piece to work for you, and you
will have no trouble in pursuad
ing the duped negroes to come
by the car load. Of course they
are poor, illiterate, and ill-treated
down here. You will open
your front door and invite them
in to see you. You will open
the doors of your church and
sit down and worship with
them, and play the social equal
ity racket down pat, to show
how we people of the South
should act. We are watching
you and so you had better be
careful. We have a kind of
feeling that we have been giv
ing them all they needed. Wo
may have been wrong. If so,
show us our mistake. Practice

it is often very hard to tell
where the genius leaves off and
the lunacy or insanity begins.
The specialized development of
a particular portion or function
of the intellect tends to destroy
the symmetry of the whole,

The Pension I'ureuu is enjoying
a sensation oi the lugeta kiutl.
Certain newspapers have been
making charges of more or
less importance against almost
every brancu oi that omce
ever since Commissioner Tan
ner took " charge. Aud uow
the action of Secretary Noble in
appointing a committee to in
vestigate there-rating of all pen
eions during tie past twelve
months, and the t h.irgen of favor
itism in making the applications of
a prominent pension attorney of
this city special, has opened the
eyes of good many people to the
fact that there must be some basis
for these charges. The committee
investigating holds daily sittings
in the Pension office. The ses
sions are secret but enough has
leaked out to make it certain that
they have discovered a very loose
way of doing business in the
matter of re rating pensions; it has
beeu learned to a certainty that
many clerks in tho office have been
largely benefitted by getting their
pensions re-ratel, some of them
getting an increase of as much as
$10, a month. It is believed that
many discharges will follow the
investigation unless the thing is
hashed up which is not at all
probable now. If this committee
should make a white washing re
port there will be a Congressional !
investigation as soon as Con
gress meets that will show up the
real echidition of things. Com
missioners Tanner is said to have
received several letters from Gov.
Foraker of Ohio urging him not to
change his liberal policy toward
the veterans, at least not daring
the gubernatorial campaign. From
what can be learned en the oat
side almost ever pensioner employ
ed in the Pension bureau has had
his pension re-rated and increased
during the last twelve months. It is
said that it was thejamonat of money
spent by certain Pension office
officials that first aroused the
suspicion of a wide awake news
paper man as to where it came
from.
Smith the colored democrat, who
was dismissed from the Sixth
Auditors office bids fair to become
a National issne. ' He says he will
appeal his case to the civil service
commission and demand reinstate
ment on the ground that he was
d: '.missed on account of his politics.
He is indulging iii a great waste
of time, and does not seem to realize
that the civil service law was phbs
ed for the special purpose of being
violated.

The alleged combination of

followed the sudden withdrawal

Senator Barbour of Virginia who
is aloo chairman of the democratic
State committee has been inter
viewed on the political situation in
that State. lie say "Virginia is
naturally democratic. It Js too

the battle will be fought, but I

hates Mahone enough to give him

propose to aid their party with
money and speakers. I cannot
