Indeed, he ia generally regarded aa (tending bead and ahonldera abofe bta eootemporariee.

Our preaent pnrpoee, however, ia to make a very praetioal auggeetiou ia eonneetion with thia matter. We have reason to believe that Dr. Kingabury haa often sacrificed hie interest to hia duty aa an honeet man and patriot, and, while be retiree from aetive jour nalism crowned with all the honor wbieb the reepeet and affection of the people ot worth Carolina ean bestow, we imagine that be haa not laid up thoee earthly treasures for bia declining years wbieb tbey who aell their opin iona may do. It that be ao and we mnat be nnderetood aa speaking entire' )y ot onr own motion, and, we treat, without offense to our venerable friend we make thia proposition to onr brethren of tbe preset Tbe Obshveb will be on of any number ot newapapen to subscribe for a weekly letter to be contributed by Dr. Kingsbury, upon aueh topie as would be moat likely to keep him in touch with bis hosts of frisnda through out tbe State. There ia no sort of doobt that aueh a letter would be ex tremely interesting, would fill a mueh needed gap ia tbe kind of matter anp plied by tbe most of our papers, aad would repay tbe papers auboeribing for it many times over for tbe email outlay that would be required. If enough sobeeribera abould be had to justify it, the letter might be atereotyped aad anpplied in plates. We make thia proposition very ear neatly and urgently, and w trust that the suggestion may meet with the hearty response which, it seems to ur, it deserves. While it would be paying a just tribute to Dr. Kiagsbary's emi nent talents, it would -render a very great service to the people ot North Carolina, who, otherwise, might aadly mlaa bis loyal and intelligent teachings.

"Mare" Henna will carry the sobriquet, "Subsidy Hanna" during the reat ot bis political career, uniy twice during the Fifty-Seventh Congrcaa hai the junior Senator from Ohio made a peach in the 8enate, once when he vigorously advocated tne amp suoeiay bill, and onoa, thia week, when he roaa no to annnort a bill whioh granted a subsidy estimated at $7,000,000 to the Pennsylvania Bail road Company, inia bill, wbieh provides for a "onion Bail- way Button" in Washington, grant to. theaomoenv named funda and eon oca aiona which the attorneya ot the com pear themselves admit to be worth 14.700.000. The whole history ot Con greeeional legislation In , whioh tbe company named hia been interested is of the moat unsavory character out thia bill ia tbe moat infamona of all the measure so far passed and the eironm ataneea which attended ita passage are, to aay tbe least, peeuliar. Oa Wednes day evening there waa manifeet a very general determination to return the bill to the committee which framed it and a vote at that time would have nn donbtedly so reaulted but tbe friends of the bill eeenred tbe poetponement of the vote until Tburaday. What hap penedintho interim l cannot aeeer tain but on Thursday morning, at an hour when ordinarily bnt few senators are preaent, practically all were in their eeata and by an almost straight party vote the bill waa passed. Senator Hanabrongh, who baU warmly urged the adoption of a substitute wbieh pro vided tormunieipal ownership of the depot, voted against the measure. After the vote wee taken it was every where remarked that Senator Hanna was regaining bia former leadership. While the Department of Justice ia proceeding ia the eonrts against the northwestern railway "eferger" and against the Beef Trust, the republicans in Congress are practically ratifying a merger of the Pennsylvania and Bal timore 4 Ohio lioee and granting a' subsidy ot $7,0:0.000 to the railway trust. Here ia a magnificent opportu nity for the President to exercise his power ot veto to the great embaraa. ment of hia political rival, Hanna, and at the aame time prove hia aineerity in his opposition to trusts. Itanonld be remembered that, of the amount stated, a large portion will be paid directly out of tbe United States Treasury and the tax-payer will have "Subsidy Hanna" to thank. Tbe Philippine debate is not yet concluded bat Senator Dubois baa agreed that, beginning today, the dem ocratic senators will be prepared to speak continuously until the discussion is closed. Senator Spooner will speak for tbe repablieane aad Senator Lodge will probably aum np. Senator Dubois told me yesterday that he thought tbe vote would be east tbe last ot thia week. It ia with no little enjoyment that tb e demoerata view the present discomfit are of their opponents. The repabli cans are facing a aeriona division ot opinion ia their own ranks and which factioa will win no one ean definitely predict The opponents of Cuban re ciprocity are determined that the iatb mian canal bill shall taks precedence over the former meaaor whea the Philippine bill ia disposed of. Senator Piatt, manager of tbe Co ben bill, ia not yet auffleieotly aura ot tbe support which a straight reciprocity bill would secure in the Senate to urge its imme diate consideration and be appreciaUa that if be reports tbe bill as passed by tbe House, while it will receive the unanimous support of the demoerata, tbe friendship, of the Sugar Trust would be loueited. The only way out of the dilemma would be adjournment as soon as the Philippine bill and the two remaining appropriation billa are pass ed, bnt the obstacle to that coarse, wbieh is being considered, ia the pub liely announced intention of the Preai dent to call aa extra seeaioa ia ease Congress adjonrns without acting on tbe Cuban bill. Viewed from anv standpoint it ia a serious dilemma and the republicans are facing it with a bad grace. If the President will yield almost immediate adjournment will follow. If a sufficient asaberof "beet sugar Senators" ean be whipped into liae tne Cuban but will be passed aad there will be bo eanal legislation, bat the fear is that tbe eanal bill will have to be taken np and that would aeeao tbe postponement of adjournment for many weeks. Tomorrow or the next night the republicans of the House expect to call a eaneua to consider the advisability of passing th Fowler banking and car reoey bill. There i no bop that the bill will be passed or evea considered at thia seeaioa by tbe 8enste and there ia little likelihood that tbe Senate will pass it at the eext sesaioo, but it I the belief of the House leaders that h will "draw" the demoerata in the fall campaign and it is with the intention of stirring np tbe advocate ot free silver that tbe leaders wish to pes tb measure. Tb bill provide for tbe retirement of tbe greenbacks aad tbe conveyance to the national beaks al saoet unlimited power and responsi bilities. Tbe western republicans are seriously opposed to its pasesgs aa they believe it woold be another instance of the sacrifice of their interests to tbs genera! good of the party aad they consider that they bave already been seriously injured by tbe absolute re jection ot tariff revision. Whether the leader will be able to whip tbe insur gents into line ia the caucus remains to be sees. Tb Ho see spent all last week con sidering the Naval appropriation bill, which passed on Satarday. The de bate at times waa most spirited aad anansing. Representative Williams, ot Mississippi, read to the House some doggerel concerning the appoiataseat of Crowainshield to the Zaropeaa sta tion which concluded with the lines i 'Great Crowniasbield's the greatest tar I That ever stayed saber." J Apropos of tbe Henna-Fry ship subsidy bill the last issue of Lloyd's Register state that the Steel Trust I the largest owner ia the world. It i not surprising the bill waa passsdby the Beasts.

Balalgk News ana' Observer.1 The moet gratifying thicg connected with the recent unhappy, unfortunate, and nuneoeesary controversy ia that it baa taught a ieesoq to shifty politicians in Nortb Carolina. Heretofore there bave been politicians in the Democratic party who have tun with the hare and also held with the hounds. Tbey have "talked mil" the people and "drank mil" the railroads. They have tried to earry water oa both shoulders. They bave aolieited railroad eopport by fighting jnst measure of taxation and stood with the people against small schemes advocated by the railroads, Tbey bave beeo shifty enough to be satisfactory to the railroad and have opposed their minor touemee enough to retain the confidence ot the people who fere not welt informed, . The result of the recent controversy has made it clear that the people want meo who owe no obligations to tbs railroads, but who are on the'iloople'a aide 365 days in every year. Tbey arc aickand tired of atraddlera. Hereafter tbey demand that men who acek public office ahall not do so upon the sole groondof "availability" (which as prao tieally interpreted meana having bo eonvictiona and no opinions that an tagohiss any special intereets) but that they shall stand for something and be read to fall for a principle it need be. That is the sort of meo North Carolina voters admire, and in the future it is the sort of men they intend to put in position ot publio trust They are dtfgusted with the "all things to all men sort ot politieiana who thunder againat trosts and monopolies and rail road domination in public and then manage by private understanding to keep the support of these eeifiah inter eeta that never -support a man tbey cannot use or silence. - There bave been tew men in public lite that they could use, though there have been eonsriou ous examples ot men in public life who were railroad agents, but there have been many more they have aileneed. "What do you think of a franchise tax on railroads and other -quasi-public corporations J1 Ask that question to candidates for public office and too many will aay: "I have hot atudied the question and prefer not to express an opinion," or "I am a candidate and therefore think it wisest not to discuss measures, upon which the public are not agreed," or they will give some shifty or evasive opinion. The time haa eome to put an end to the auocess of such cowardly aspirants for public honors. The hour has arrived in North Carolina when the people demand courageous leaders who will declare their convictions and rise or tall by uttering tbem. Men who are not hon est and eoorageons and able enough to meet the living isauee, but who insist upon talking only about tbinga upon whieh everybody ia agreed, ought to be forced to atay in the retirement their unwillingness to champion right eons causes fits them to adorn. "Let those who have no stomach for the fight depart." Cettaa luau. Cotton, N. C, May 17.

Th personality of the nominee for Corporation Commissioner, to fill the vacancy to be created by tbe expiration of the term ot Dr. Abbott (Rep.), which ends in April, 1903, is now enlisting attention. Dr. Abnott succeeded Mr. . CBeddingfiald (Dcm ). after he had ousted hina iorine place ihroneh an action in tbe court the Supreme uourt holding that the iegieiatore bad no authority to elect Mr. Beddingfleld at the time it did. Mr. Beddingfleld bad served one term and had served about a year 'of tbe new term before he was ousted by the Republicans, (though no naa to reiana tne salary lor tbe last year'a servieee), and ia therefore familiar with the duties ot th position and a most capable and well educated gentleman. He Is a farmer by profee sion and resides upon bis place a few miles Irom Kaieigh, which be success fully manage in person. His friend are legion in this partot the State, and if the new Commissioner ,i taken from the Central section, aa many think i important (the East and West being represented by Commissioners McNeill and Rogers), Mr. Beddingfleld ia largely regarded aa the proper man for the place. Speak ing of him today, one of hi friends said : "This is the only place on the State ticket thia year that ean be filled by a farmer, and Beddingfleld being aueh a fine campaigner, he ia the very man to select He made a flue record when he, was on the Commission before. and will do even better thia time be ing iiiflueneed by neither fear or fa vor, for or against any ease that wonld eome before nim for adjudication.

Few meo who are lifted to a seat in that body bave "shown np" to better advan tage during the first session ot Congress after the beginning of their new duties than Senator Simmons.
