OUR RALEIGH LETTER.
What the Legislature ii Doine Other
Matters.
: Correspondent to Tht Courier.
Itah-igh, February 13. One of the
m8t eeiious questions that has con
f routed the farmers and ful m land
owners of North Carolina of Into
years, especially in the eastern and
central counties, is that of securing
additional fat m laborers and an in
flux of newcomer of agricultural
persuasion that will take up the idlo
and going to waste and cultivute
them, either as "small farmers
jus tenants on shares. These too, in a
way, take the places of the black
men who have been leaving the rural
districts in such increasing numbers
for the towus and cities in and out of
the state.
In the opinion of many of our best
and most thoughtful and patriotic
public men, the best means of sup
plying this whi t is tlirougll the es
tablishment oi an immigration bu
reau, aud at tins writing ir. appears
that this method is to be adopted.
At a joint meeting of tho Senate
aud House committee on immigra
tion a bill to this end whs unanimous
ly reported favoiably, after the com
mittee had been addressed by ui'tim
ber of gentlemen, including the im
migration commissioner of South
Carolina, Mr K. J Watson, and the
industrial agents of the several large
railway svstems, whose co-operation i
is highly desirable. !
The bill reported is the commit
tees substitute for that of oeuutor
Moore, and provides for a commis
sioner of immigration (at a salary of
.,500), and an appropriation ot
$7,500 annually for expense!.
fll.BNX'S ' EAUKEST ItKCOM. MEN
TATION.
In his special message to the lien
eral Assembly during the past week,
Ooveruor Glenu used the following
earnest words on the subject of eh-
tablishius au immigration bureau:
"A bureau not for the purpose as
some seem to fear, of bringing the
"riff-raff ot society and pauper la
bor iuto tho state, but one capable of
guai ding against mueb objectionable
persons, and seeking only laoorers oi
industry and character, financiers
looking for places for investments
and farmers wanting good homes.
Our people cannot be their own im
migrant agents, but must have some
agency tii rough which they can act
in order to make Know tnc Kinus oi
lands, minerals, water powers and
other lesnurces they have to sell, and
thus thiough thtscuannel be brougbt
in touch with persons desiring to buy.
The same is also title of individuals
or corporations desiring laborers
there must be some common sourc"
through which employers and em
ployees can be brougbt together.
What North Carolina needs is more
people with money, brains, industry
and willing hands, to the ends that
markets may be rsUtUlislieU, our
waste places built up, onr farms
properly cnltivated, and mines open
ed nnd and worked, aud onr untold
and hidden resources brought to the
at'eulitin of the world. In North
C arolina our people live chiefly by
itgnculture; about 80 per cent of onr
total population are owners or liners
of the soil; they pay a large pmpor
tion of the taxes for toe suppott oi
the state government and yet what
acts are passed looking to the great
need of these people and wnat ap
propriations are made directly for
their benefit? It is a fact staring
our people in the face, that, owners
and tillers of the soil are now iu
much distress because ot the lack of
labor at reasonable prices or in fact
any price and thv stern reality faces
our agricultural interests that want
f bands on the farm, is bringing
our lands to prices far below their
proper or proportional value."
D KM AND FOIt SIONEV UNPRECE
DENTED. More than a million dollars arc
asked for by the charitable, educa
tional aud other state institutions
and for pensions for the old soldiers,
the Odell bill adding $1UU,UU0 to the
latter having already passed. Id ad
dition to tho inorease (of which over
$100,000 is asked by the State Nor
mal at Ureensboro, on account or tne
loss by fire, etc., in excess of insur-
"ce) asked by these institutions
them is going to be a heavy demaned
from other sou roes. The inorease in
tho salaries of superior ant supreme
court judges and other items of like
character will have to be met.
In view of all this Senator Webb,
of Buncombe, has nuulo ihe proposi
tion to authorize a boud issue of
,000, which is being discassed
pro aud con.
The legislators hear the cry mon
ey! money! money I on every hand and
the leaders ic the General Assembly
say that the stte will be pnt at its
wits end to meet the worthy demands
and appeals that are made, to say
sotbing of those mat ought to be
made to wait for a more convenient
season. Senator Webb, says:
"I have been informed in the state
treasurer's office that $150,000 will
be available for the next two years
provided there is no inorease over the
appropriations made in 190). We
most pay for rebuilding the burned
dormitory of the State's Normal at
Greensboro $100,000, then for pen-
sion another $100,000 and this will
not leave nearly enough for the ab
solute necessary equipment of the
state hospitals and the laboratoy of
the university, not to apeak of a re-
formatory and other demands. A
bead Isioe is the prnT mnrae to
take. We did hay $320,000 in the the pint. Bow by Mcvrary-Heading

DIVORCE KHFOltJl ADVOCATES IN-
nia.VANT.
It is God's truth to say that the
good people of North Carolina do-
sire to havo this legislature "reform"
the present lux divorce laws of this
Btule. Nearly every organized relig
ious body in North Carolina has me
morialized this General Assembly on
the subject the flood of petitions
Having started on the vety hrst day
ot the session.
That practically nothing had beep
done (until the discussion of the sub
ct begins in the legislature next
Tuesday) towntds making un effoi)
along this line was surprising to the
leaders of the divorce reform advo
cates. They have grown indignant
and sme of them ate not meally
mourned tu saving so.
PROSPBCTS OP A RKPORMATORV
It is uot unlik-ly that those who
for years have been working to se
cure the establishment of a reforma
tory institution, where wayward
you t lis who have transgressed the
letter ot the statute law may b- sent
and giyen an opportunity to reform,
instead of being sentenced to the
state prison or to convict roatls,
camps, to associate with hardened
criminals, will see their hopes real
ized, and a bill creating the new in
stitution nmv become a law this
week.
The inint committee on penal insti
tutions has reported favorably a bill
U this effect.
MoltK LigroK LEGISLATION.
On Friday Ihe Ward liquor bill
puss ti its frcond lending in the Sen
ate, und on tin- following day passed
its KiihI in that limly. The roil call
vote was ;' to 16 us follows:
For the bill: Messrs Alexander,
ArenduM. Buddie, liiauaiv. hveretr.
Koiislue, Lung of Iredell. Long of
Person, Mason of Gaston, Mason of
Northampton, McCullocli. McLean,
Moore, liirrentme, Vann, Ward,
Watkins, Webb, Wright und Zolli-
colter
Against the bill: Messrs Aaron,
Itrynn, Burton, Coxc, Crisp, Liter,
Empie, Fleming, Gilliam, Grady,
Miller, Kicks. Sinclair, Soniers.
Stnbbs and Williams 10.
The speeches of Senators Gilliam,
Stubb, Empie, Sinclair, Fleming,
against the bill, were reniarablo for
the warnings they contained that the
Democratic party was going too far
"in confiscating" property rights."
etc., by the enactment of a law like
this. On the other hand, the speech
of Senator Mason of Northampton
was a powerful one in favor of the
high moral ground that the party
has taken. The passage of the bill
seems to be iu accord with the pop
ular view.
SOUTH DAKOTA BONDS,
Governor Glenn, on Saturday
evening, sent a special message in
the legislature concerning the South
Dakota bond judgment and the
claims of Schafer Bios of New
York, based theieon asking the
general assembly to make some dis
position of the matter.
On moiieu of Representative Mur
phy of Kowan a joint resolution was
passed providing for the appoint
nient of a joint committee to iitvesti
gate the subject and make reconi
meudations to the legislature. Aud
there the matter rests u present.
In the meantime there is a U. S.
Supreme Court judgment against
the state of North Caroliuu in favor
of the state of Sonth Dakota, und it
must be satisfied two mouths hence.
There is un question a boo tt ha . The
opinion of conservative business men
is that the best thing the stale ran
ro with regard to the other bonds of
like character is to compromise with
the holders on the best terms that
can be secured.
OTHER MATTERS.
The newspaper men's bill, desiirti-
etl to repeal the old populislic law
and open tho way for the weekly and
other newspapers to contract with
transportation; companies oy tne pay
ment for mileage in advertising, is
going through all right. It has al
ready passed one branon ot the legis
lata re and will probably become a
law this week.
The divorce bills will come np to
morrow (inesday) night in the
House, as the special order. The
discussion of this important piece of
legislation was to have opened iu the
House Saturday afternoon, but the
matte.' was postponed till Tuesday
night in order that all the pending
bills might be printed in the mean
time, so that all members of the leg
islature may fatniliaiize themselves
itu the provisions and merits of
each. There does uot appear to be
much doubt of a radical change iu
the present lax divorce laws of the
state.
The House bus ju-t passed a bill
(introduced by Mi Stronacbof Wake)
to prohibit falsifying in advertise
ments, lit Stronach is a merchant
in Raleigh aud personally interested
in this bill.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
President Over.Stepping his Bounds Is
Rebuked by Senate Senator Bou-
tell In Deliver Commencement
AJdres at University.
Frimi our uwa t'i.rrcHinUeiit.
Washington, I). C, Feb. 13. If
one could have looked in on the exc
ciuive session of the Senate Satur
day he would have been inclined to
think that the democratic campaign
speeches about ilr Roosevelt were,
after all, not much overdrawn. The
Senate had umier consideration the
treuty that hits been entered into be
tween the President and eight Eu
ropean countries totlie effect t hut ull
questions of certain classes that may
become causes for dispute between
l he United States and any one of
these several countries shall, "npon
the concluding of a special ttgrtc
ment delinini; clearly the matter in
dispute, be submitted to the Perman
ent Court of Arbitration. Ihe
.Senate com:! tided that this word
"agreement" here used would allow
the President to proceed to submit
these cases ns they may arise to the
court of arbitration without the
advice and consent of the Senate'',
which the Constitution requires in
the case of a treaty. They therefore
proposed to strike eut the word
"agreement and insert "treaty.
The President had gotten wind of
this proposed change and bad dis
patched .1 letter posthaste to Senator
C'ulliitu, chairman of the commiteee
having the matter 111 charge, protest
ing against the amendment, and
threatening that if the Senate did
take any such action he would pigeon
hole the treaty and refuse to scud it
to tho other nations for the final ex-
chungo of ratifications. Such uu
dacity on the part of the executive
was too much for tho SenaW, and
the veteran A labamian, Senator Mor
gan, drew his weapons of warfare
and plunged in. Ho wos foil iwed
in similar lines by no less a light
that the ftintingniblied republican
senator from Wiec- nsin, Mr Spooner.
It mil be appreciated how seriously
fho Prceident had overstepped his
proper bounds when it is learned
that Senator Spooncr hud hardly
taken his swat before Senator Lodge,
f Mass., w ho is understood to be
the closest man to tho President in
either branch of Cougress, was Oh
his feet protesting ugninst the Presi
dent's right to thus project himself
upon the Senate w nilc it was engag
ed in its constitutional function of
passing upon a treaiy. The rebuke
was complete when only nine sens-
tois were found who would vote to
support Mr Hoosev It in his conten
tion, hvery one knows that Mr
Roosevelt likes to have his way and
it is haid for him to be respectful to
opposition, but he will show himself
it smaller man 'nan the world has
come to regard him if ho doesn't
litid some way to avoid carrying out
the threat which he so improperly
tried to cndgel the Senate with.
hen these treaties were llrst tip
for consideration it was feared by
the Sontheru senators that the)
might be used to gtt some of the
Southern states repndiated bonds be
fore the Court of Arbitration for li
tigatio", but when the word 'agree
ment' was changed to "treaiy" this
fear was eliminated; for the double
reason that they could never be a
proper subject for treaty and il
they could, such a treaty could not
be put t 'trough the Senate.
1 lie limine passed the railroad
rate legislation discussed in my let
ter of last week. After fruitless ef
forts to get an opportunity to amend
the bill, the democrats voted for it,
hoping that it. may he some improve
ment 111 the situation. There are
some raasous to believe that tbc Sen
ate may pass the ineaanie as it is
(the railroads conld not wish it to
he more impotent) but it is uncer
tain what influence the 'Teak of
Satnrday between the President and
the Senate may havo npon this legis
lation. Two weeks ago I qnnted ;n this
correspondence from a speech deliv
ered by the Hon 11 S Bontcll on the j

les'-erday (bondav) the House i
held memorial services for the late
Senator Hoar. It is the custom to
take advantage of Sunday for these
occasions, and thus save time; very
few members attend.
The imneaohment trial of Jndge
Swayne is now in progress, the Scn-
devoting three hours each day to

amined now, and nothing of special
interest has developed.

pDinied by law for the two houses to

was nothing to be done except the
opening ono by 0110 of the returns
from the several states and the pro
