C, s taooKD Class Matteb. - ct I THE, GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. . We commend to the attention of the public the message of Governor . Jarvis, published in The Observer this morning, as a document ; well worthy of perusal, and one of which Gov. Jarvis or any other Governor might be proud. It is a clear, business-like, review of the condition of the State, under his administration, an administration characterized by a progressive spirit from commence ment to close, and crowned with , re sults that have placed North Carolina among the foremost oC progressive. States. - And witti all this it has been an honest, economical, careful ad ministration, advancing the peo pie's interests while lessening their burdens. "ThereTis a vein of honesty and plain speaking runnlngthrough this message which we like, arid we believe," on j reflection, that the wis dom and appropriateness pJT most, if riot all of the suggestions and recom mendations it makes will be appro Vr ed by the people of the State, who realize with Governor Jarvis that the North Carolina of today with hein creased population, multiplied indus-. tries, arid progressive'' spirit, , J& riot the North Carolina of t wenty or even ten years ago. . This is all we. deem necessary to say 'about a document that speaks so well for itself, and for him who so ably and faithfully served the people whose honored jtrust he bore, and who retires from his high position with: 1 the esteem aria good will , of the people of North Carolina. - i " m m A POISONED PARTY .

One of the vic tims, a child, and a niece of Mn Van Fossen, died at midnight, and the others are not expected to live. ' From the fact that Miss Annie Van i o3sen is not so sick as the others are, she is suspected as being the guilty person. A searching investigation -is in prog ress, and intense excitement prevails.

Slater called up the Oregon Central land forfeiture bill, which has been in obeyance subjpct to Morgan s mos tion to reconsider ' 3 f Morgan said he had learned ; trom some or the senators wno - voieu against his proposed amendment, that they had so voted, not from op position to the principle conveyed by the amendment, ; put Decause mey did not think the amendment Neces sary under ; the special circumstan ces of the Oregon Central case. He then withdrew the motion to recon sider. ' The bill." therefore, stands passed as" amended by the Senate. It . now goes to the House. ; ; ; -The Senate proceeded to . the con sideration of bills upon the calendar. After debate without result on tne hill for Drivate relief, the Senate re sumed consideration? of the inter RtAte a immc r e till. " Garland called up the House bill on th same subiect. with the . view, he said, of moving to recommit the Sen ate bill, with all its proposed amend ments. together with the House bill,- to the committee on railroads, for further consideration. , The House bill was read by its title, and Garland addressed the Senate on the subject matter. He directed his argument mainiy agamsb iub wm mission proposition. Admitting that oneress itseli might regulate inters tate commerce, where did we find the power in Congress to delegate its power to a commission? Delegated Dbwer could . not be sub delegated. Congress could pot divest ; itself of its legislative power and hand it over to any commission, it is unnearu 01 that the legislative power should be deleeated. Such powers lodged in a commission were extraordinary, ana Garland asked the Senators to pause and seriouslv consider the bill. It not only gave the commission legis lative, .'but.) 'judicial. power;' it seemed to him that the courts ? were competent to deal with the questions involved, and u they were not, their jurisdiction could be . enlarged. He thought the bill just passed by tne House of Representatives a better measure than any . of - the measures proposed in the Senate. The House defined what was wanted and did not leave it to subordinate Officer or com mission It did not delegate the power of Congress to any other body, and so it left the matter within the constitution. The question of -what was State commerce and 'what inter- State commerce was, was a very dif ficultone sometimes to decide. He believed that greater progress would now be made by recommitting all the pills.and proposed amendments to the committee who could consider them and report promptly ; to the Senate. After further debate, participated in by Bayard, Dawes, Collum, Harri son, Ingalls, Slater, Maxey and Jones of Florida. A motion to recommit was rejected by a vote of 18 to 24. i Wilson s amendment making it unlawful for, railroads to discrimi nate against localities or individuals was added to the bill. Vance proposed an amendment making it unlawful for railroads 10 charge small shippers higher r rates than large shippers The subject to which the bill related, he said, constituted the coming question in American politics for the ' next 20 years. It may be a tentative meas ure, but something was necessary. The public were not willing to com mit the commerce of the country for all time to the greed and cupidity of railroads, without endeavoring "to protect themselves against extortion. He acknowledged that- difficulties surrounded the subject, but a begin ning had to be made. There was no reason why railroads should not be as popular as they . were necessary, They were public servants and were no more justified in charging a poor man or a small shipper more for ser , vice rendered him than was charged tor lite service ior a : rich man., or a large shipper. It would be like the case ot a Judge who should feel justi fied in imposing a light penalty on 1 man who was often in court because he was a wholesale offender and im posing a heavy penalty - on a Vman who was honest enough to be brought into court only occasionally Vance thought that however grave the difficulties' of governmental -"supervision of railroads may be, those difficulties should be) ' x vercome, es tne genius or tne race to which we belong had always been equal to the redress of every grievance that had been pressed upon them. ' :. t : ? - n George supported Mr. Vance's amendment.. Brown moved to amend the amend ment of Vance by adding to it that no merchant shall sell a larger, package or quantity of goods at t smaller per cent.' than he charges for, smaller packages of goods of like quality, if the goods have been pro duced in, or transported from anoth er State' so as to fall "within the now er of Congress to regulate inter state commerce."- .Before the smile at Brown's joke had quite disappeared, Hoar moved that the Senate proceed ; to the con sideration of executive business, t: The motion was agreed fo. 1 TheSenate at 4 50 went'into execii' tive session and within fifteen min utes the doors reopened and ' the Senate' adjourned to meet Mondey next.
