The Kansas City Journal de livers the following comforting ob servation : "Those who are becom ing impatient at the slowness with which United States senators are elected should notice how little benefit the senators are who are al ready elected. There is really no cause for hurry. One of the most meritorious laws yet introduced in the legisla ture is the bill passed by the sen ate Friday designed to do away With quack - doctors by requiring $hat all applicants for license as physicians shall have 7 a diploma from a medical college and such clinical requirements as the state medical board deems necessary. ' It mat not occur to' some who are loudly calling on congress to unseat B. H. Roberts, a representative-elect from Utah, on the ground that he is a polygamist, that in an nexing, the Philippines we slall also annex the institution of polyg amy. Large numbers of the Fili pinos have a plurality of wives, some of them possessing extensive and varied harems. In fact mar riage appears to be a favorite pas time with the average Filipino. The Philadelphia-Record utters a great truth in the following : The Confederate veterans will scarcely thank Senator Butler, of Corth Carolina, who was an infant in arms when the civil war ended, . t . w - for his vain and frivolous appeal for pensions for the supporters of VUW 1VHV WWWOW . MVUVUVIU BVUI znent in this regard was unques- of Tennessee, who fought all through the civil war, when he declared that the ex-Confederates would scorn to ask or receive pen sions, and that they were now among the most loyal and patriotic citizens of the United States, al though still convinced that theirs was a just cause. Thera is no pension craze and canker in the South and there never will be." A large number of our institu tions of learning, in all sections of of the country, have offered to give free instruction to certain Cuban young men, with the proviso -that when educated the young men are to return to their native land and givetc( their fellow countrymen the benefits of the advantages they may have enjoyed in the United States. Major-General Joseph Wheeler is said to have originated the plan and is president of the association which has undertaken to put it into execution. Probably in no other way can the people of our enlightened, and highly civil ized country render a greater ser Tice.to Cuba than by giving a few of their sons the benefits of an education and thus preparing them to better face the .realities of life.' We publish in this issue the bill inaroduccd in the legislature by our Mr. Kennett looking to the ad vancement of the public school system. This is a subject which lies next to Mr. Kennett's heart and be can always be depended up on to give ail the encouragement in his power to the public school?. TKa kill if rk J"' t i give aid and encouragement to the public schools of North Carolina and thus give an impetus to educa tion in general. Through , the op--ration of such a law, longer and better terms will be assured for our schools, people who most need help will be reached ancK election expen ses will be saved. At the same time persons disposed to charity will have the privilege of materially aiding those about them. Mr. Eennett's . bill is a wise measure snd we hope to see it enacted into law. v The whole state would be benefited by it. V , H01T. W. W. KITOHHTSBPEEOH. One of the Best So Far LIa.de Against the Proposed Increase - of the Amy. Washington, Jan. 30. One of the best speeches of the many short ones which have been made against the1 bill providing for the perma nent increase oMhe regular army was that of Congressman Kitchin. The young congiessman from North Carolina has taken an ex cellent position in the estimation of his Democratic colleagues and the good impression which he has made heretofore was strengthened by hiscommon sense utterances upon this very important question. He took strong ground against army increase which he held was of course the real purpose of this reorganization bill, and went at some length into reasons for oppo sition to i what he termed the im perialistic policy of the adminis tration. He said: i 'Scorning the misrepresentations of ignorance and bigotry, rejoic ing in the victories of our army and navy and. responsible to the descendants of the first proclaim ed of American liberty for my conduct, I shall vote against in creasing the standing army of the United States from 30,000 to 100, 000 men in time of peace." j He referred touchingly- to the memories which clustered around Alamance and Guilford, and then spoke in eloquent words of the sacrifices made by North Carolina in the recent war with Spain when brave Bagley fell at Cardenas and Shipp on the hill of San Juan. He said no man could feel greater honor for the heroes of this war than be. but he did not believe it was honest to' the people to take advantage of the enthusiasm created by the war to put through a bill providing for a permanent standing army which could only be a heavy burdea to the tax payers! and" which might be a menace to the liberties of the: peo ple, v- r-:':rr:ji- -h Referring to the claim that it is wrong to withdraw the flag from any point where it has once flown, he pointed out that Germany's flag had been taken down from the capital of France without dishonor, that the English had withdrawn from Washington .and the Ameri cans from Mexico without any dis honor being attached to their flag by this act. He contended that the meaning of the flag would be perverted and distorted if it were to be kept flying in the Philippines as a symbol of despotic govern ment forced upon the inhabitants of those islands without their con sent. . ' i "My .knowledge of the innate powers of my country," continued Mr. Kitchin, "forbids my aid to this unnecessary expense for mili tary purposes in the tjime of peace. It would mean, an increase from $25,000,000 to $100,000,000 an nually, this latter sum being suffi cient to buy, a s shown by the tax books, three congressional districts such as I have the honor to repre sent." He did not think that the volun teers should be kept in if they did not want to remain, but that they should be replaced by men recruit ed for garrison purposes. He held that the real ; danger lies in the ac quisition of the Philippines and that if the people thoroughly un derstood the matter, a wave of pro test would come from the farms and ehopg, the fields, the mines and the offices of this land that would compel a patriotic executive to change the course which the Presi dent seems to have taken upon this great question. Concluding he said: "The old King of Israel, in a moment of infatuation, yield ed to temptation, committed a dou ble crime and in his old age mourn ed his conduct. Let Congress heed the 'moral and save the country from this error, sprung upon us in a manner of exultation, which our wisest and most honest statesmen have resisted in the past." Great Snow Storms in the West.; Denver, Col., Jan. 30. The snow storm has continued all day over the greater part of Colorado, and it is said by old settlers to be a record-breaker. Nearly all the mountain railroads are blocked and in most cases the companies have given up the hope of operating them until after the storm sub sides. Snow slides are reported at many places, but the only loss of life so far known was at Apex. : ' WORK OP ' THE ' LEGISLATURE- What Is Being Bone by the Lat7 . makers at Raleigh. f Senate, Jan. 27. Several peti tions relative to prohibition and the merchants' purchase tax were referred to the proper committees. Committees reported favorably to review, amend and consolidate the insanity laws of the state; to allow the citizens of Greensboro to issue bonds; to establish the office of treasurer in Surry county. The following bills were ameng those which passed their final read ing: To authorize the commis sioners of Forsyth county to levy a special tax to pay indebtedness; to regulate the issuing of retail liquor license in Wilkes county, with the amendment that the meas ure shall be submitted to the qual ified voters of Wilkes;' to author ize the incorporation of the Thom a8ville Banking and Trust Com pany. A bill was introduceed to amend chapter 34 of the Code and chapter .181 of the laws of 1889, relating to physicians. This bill, as explained by Senator Justice, is intended to do away with quack doctors. The act of 1889 allowed every doctor practising medicine prior to that time to get a license whether he had a diploma from the college or not, and the time for the application for and granting of such license extended up to 1892. The bill under consideration re quired that an applicant for license should have a diploma from a med ical college, and such clinical ac quirements as. the state board of physicians might deem necessary. ' House, Jan. 27. Bills were in troduced for the improvement of the publio roads and to prevent trespass on lands of another ; by Kennett,' to promote' education among- the masses ; to allow any township to vote on road tax, the tax so voted to be applied to such township. Senate, Jan. 28. The members of the various churches of Golds boro presented a petition for the establishment of a reformatory for youthful criminals. A petition was received from the business men of High point asking for the repeal of the merchants' purchase tax. The bill to change 'the dividing line between Wilkes and Surry counties was withdrawn by Sena tor Glenn. ; , The bill to protect cattle from splenetic fever passed its final reading. j , A bill to repeal section 3,113 of tne uode came up. l nis Dill pro vides that a local option election may be held in any month during the year, instead of in June, as the law now stands, and on a petition of one-fourth of the citizens of a township, instead of one-third, as formerly. Considerable discussion, was indulged in and the bill was finally re-referred to the committee. The bill to allow Greensboro to issue'bonds to the amount of $300, 000 for municipal improvements passed its final reading, House, Jan. 28. Bills were in troduced p incorporate the Old North State Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company; to provide for the promotion and supervision of the oyster industry in North Carolina; to prevent hunting in Surry county except by permission of land owners ; to establish a graded school. in a new district in the town of Dobson. A bill was introduced to create the Vance textile department of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Raleigh. The bill introduced by Winston, of Bertie, to make cohabitation be tween the white and black races a felony, punishable by imprison ment in the county jail for not less than four months or in the state prison for not more than five years c? ne up for consideration with a "averable7 report from the commit lee. The bill evoked considerable discussion. Speaker Connor call ed Hon. Locke Craig to the chair and took the floor in advocacy of the measure. Ex-Juige Allen and Mr.. Justice opposed the bill on the ground that it would provoke black mail and fraud. The bill passed its final reading. The resolution raising a com mittee to name trustees of the Uni versity was adopted. Senate, Jan. 30. The following were among-the bills introduced : To repeal the law of 1895 relating to the election of justices of the peace; to prohibit public drunken ness;, to provide extra commis sioners - from Warren county, and to restore white supremacy in cer tain counties. - - The bill allowing Greensboro to issue'bonds passed final reading. A joint resolution, providing for the election of the directors of the State's prison next Friday, the 3rd, passed its third reading. House, Jan. 30. A bill was in troduced to give each member of the First North Carolina regiment who is serving in Cuba a medal. A joint resolution was adopted to go into the" election of twelve directors of the penitentiary next Friday. . ; There was some discussion of a bill to repeal to act of 1897, allow ing counties to pay special venire-; men. Several 1 members, among them Mr. Nicholson, of Beaufort, said they opposed the measure. Mr. Nicholson moved to table, and this action was taken, despite a favorable committee report, j A bill came up in regard to the number of challenges! in capital cases. Mr. Bay, of Macon, said it was of great importance, as it pro-i hlch had He wanted posed to change a law stood for a century. the judiciary committee to report en the bill one way or the other Mr.-Moore offered a substitute, and said it had been agreed that he should prevent it. He urged that the matter be not again referred, but that it be acted on. The bill amends section 1199 and 1200 of The Code. The substitute reduces the number of defendant's chal lenges from 23 to 12, and increases the number of the State's chaU lenges from 4 to 8, and f urther pro? vides that in all capital cases the prosecuting officers on behalf of the State shall not have the ' right to stand aside any per 'cent, of the jury without first showing cause, as now provided by law: Mr. Julian urged that the bill be tabled. He said he certainly did not want Rowan county included in the pro visions of the bill. Mr. Hartsell moved to table the bill and the sub stitute, too, and to the table they went.:' " 1 I By leave, Mr. Graig introduced the four following bills, all by re quest: To place offences of cruelty to animals within the jurisdiction of magistrates; to allow clerks of court under certain circumstances to pay out money to minors who are wards of the law; to prevent the necessity of kissing the Bible when taking an oath; to amend the law in reference to service ol summons by publications.

' The bill came up to prevent the sale of adulterated and mis-branded food, putting in the hands of the board of agriculture the en forcement of the law. The penalty for violation of the act is a fine of from $200 to $300, or imprisonment not to exceed one year. I ' j . . , - . - .; . -! 1. Fresh Garden Seed at Gardn er's, cor. opp. postoflSce.
