It ia wholly harmful to colored men to -be given postmaster ships in ciommunities where nine-tenths of the mail matter sent and received hAlrnic-s to white natrons of the office who are opposed to a colored postmaster, Mr. McKinley himself has made mis takes in that direction." The Review of Reviews, a well-known New York publication, speaking of Mr. W. J. Bryan, says : "It is understood that he will devote himself to political matters during the ijext year; or two, and the opinion seems very general at present that his friends will succeed in obtaining for him the Democratic Presidential nomination in the year 1900." This is a significant utterance when it is remembered that for some time it has beerJsaid by many newspapers and politicians that Mr. Bryan is a dead candidate, and that the issues on which he made his campaign in 1896 are dead issues. Th e Legislature assembled in Raleigh yesterday. We shall publish each week a report of its doings. The people have confidence in it, and feel sure that not only good laws will be enacted but that manv bad ones will be repealed. Two years ago there was a painful un rest and uncertainty. Men had been elected as legislators who were not only ignorant and prejudiced, but unprinci tiled and vicious. This year men of j " the very highest character and ability htfye succeeded them, and the people of the State feel once more secure. We had hoped to see Hon. Xee S Overman elected Speaker of the House, but in Judge Henry G. Connor the Democrats have chosen a man emi nently worthy in every respect to fil the important position. He" is awell balanced man a clean, honest and up right one. Judge Connor's fine itecord on the Supreme Court bench presages and guarantees an able administration of the office of Speaker. ' It is with peculiar pleasure that we note the selection by the State Senate oMr. R-'L. Smith, of this district, as President pro tem. of that body. Mr. Smith is fitted by experience, traihing 1 and ability for the position. He is ca- pable, fair and a good parliamentarian, Vand the Senate in choosing him for President' pro tem. has honored one of its very best members. , r, Connor Nominated Speaker. Cor. Charlotte Observer. Raleigh, Jan. 3. There was a very large crowd, at the capitol to-night; to get the proceedings of the Democratic caucuses. ' The spectators got a peep at both bodies for a short time, and were extremely; favorably impressed with the Democratic personnel. The House cau cus was open for over half an hour. Francis D. Winston called it to order. William B. Council, of Watauga, was made Chairman and H. A. Gilliam, of Edgecombe, andH. McD. Robinson, of Cumberland, secretaries. It was stated that there were contests for seats in two counties, Pamlico and ; Greene. The question arose as to whether the Democrats from these counties should be considered as members of the caucus. JL pretty ntue nsnt was made here in the content for Speaker, William R.

A ballot was not taken until 11 o'clock, and Connor won on the first ballot, getting 46 votes; Overman; 26; Locke Craig, 14. Over man was the first man to congratulate (Jonnor, and he and Craig escorted him to the chair. , He made a stirring speech and was given an ovation. He is the first Speaker from the east since Jarvis, and this was a powerful lever in his selection. Brevard Nixon, of Mecklenburg, was elected by acclamation principal clerk; George L.' Kirkpitrick, of Lenoir, door "keeper. The Republicans and Populists of the House, at their joint caucus, agreed on Wi W. Hampton, of Sjrry, as their candidate for Speaker!

She and a young man of the name of Crouse were engaged and were to have been married Wednesday night. Tues day night they were at a party together and quarreled.

Havana, Jan. 1 The soyereignty of Cuba passed from Spain to the United States at noon today, when the Span iards evacuated Havana.

Not In Love With Cuba. Baltimore Sun. ' Sergeant-Majar John J. O'Keefe, of the United States commissary depart ment, who was until receutly stationed at Fort McHenry, but who left there On Thanksgiving Day to assume duties in Cuba, writes as follows to a friend -in this city under date of Santiago, JJe- cember 8: "I think it almost impossible for the average American to become accustomed to the climate, customs or . people of our newly acquired territory.' The. weather is rather severe, inconsequence of its tropical character (it is. now 95 degrees in the shade). The habits of the people here are antedeluvian, the natiyes are very indolent and are totally unlike Americans. They have no 'get up about them, and would Booner' sleep and eat than do anything else. Already American enterprise haS made its appearance here, and what ever business jia being done in this quaint old-place is being done by men from the States. "The days are, as I have said, very warm, being as hot as any we naa in Baltimore last summer. The nights would be pleasant but for the myriad platoons of mosquitoes that assail their sleeping victims. This feature makes Santiago painfully like New Jersey." Coast Line Buys the C. F. & V. V. Railroad. Raleigh Post. The Atlantic Coast Line got the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad at the sale at Fayetteville yesterday, bidding for it $3,110,000. Some of it lies ia a good country while part of that traversed by it is middling poor. Doubtless the Coast Line will operate, its new acquisi tion successfully. The Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley, from the time of its construction until it went into the hands of a receiver, enjoyed the distic tion of being a peculiarly North Caro lina railroad, having been built, owned and operated by North Carolinians, and stretching from the mountains to the sea, being all inside the State except for a branch which penetrates South Caro Una. But it was not self-supporting as an independent system, and succumbed to the logic of circumstances, thus fall ing a victim to the tendency of the times which, iu nothing more than in railroads, is toward consolidation. Pity to ten, a number or our good citizens got caught under the dead-fall and the story of the wreckage of several private fortunes is a part of the history of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad The Transfer of Cuba. The transfer of Cuba from Spain to the United States bears the date, for official purposes of January 1. The last days of December witnessed a good deal of activity in the sailing of American troops for Cuba and a corresponding departure of bpanish troops for Spain lhe newspapers in December almost every day had reports of rioting some where in the city or province of Havana. It was to have been expected, however. that the inevitable relaxation of Span ish authority while large bodies bpanish troops were still awaiting the opportunity to sail, and before the Americans were able to assume police control, would result in a good deal ii.. t t j t peuy mcuon between individuals and also between groups of Spaniards meet ing Oubaus on tbe 6treets or in public places, ibe only wonder is that the great work of evacuation up to the pre sent time has been accomplished with so marvelous a smoothness, and that the process of turning tbe island over to. the American soldiers as temporary caretakers should have been earned out so effectively and so rapidly.

TUTT'S Liver PILLS ABSOLUTELY CURE. Russell Appoints Capt. D j Superintendent of tbe Penitentiary., Raleigh, Dec. 28. A sensation was created here this morning by the an nouncement that J. M. Mewborne. the fusion superintendent of the peniten tiary, had resigned and Captain W. H, Day, a Democratic lawyer, had been named by Governor Russell as his suc cessor. Mr. Mewbrones resignation takes place January 1. Not even the most intimate friends of the interested parties knew of the contemplated change iri management. Captain Day has accepted the position and to-day announced that .he . would fill all the subordinate offices with Democrats. He has already appointed J. R. Tillery, of Halifax county, aj manager of the State farms, and F. B. Arendell, of Ral eigh, manager of the central prison. Governor Kusselrs political friends are severely criticising him for appoint ing Democrats to office. Only two weeks ago he appointed a Democrat as Adjutant General of the State, and since then he has made the board of I directors for several of the institutions Democratic. Crude OU on Roads. The experiments of railways with dead oil to lay dust are well known to the public. Their success has induced Mr. M. Meigs, of the American Society of Ciyil Engineers, to experiment with such oil on common roads, with: results that are very gratifying. The oil fprms a sort ot waterprooi crust which pre vents the dust from becoming mud A piece of road may thus be made serviceable when there is lack of time and means for more solid treatment. A barrel of oil costing 90 cents suffices, it appears, for an area of 100 feet long and 12 feet wide. How long it will be effective is not yet ascertained. ' Mr. Meigs states that while oil will never take the place of good paved Toads, it may possibly enable fair dirt roads to be constructed where lack of good ma terials and expense render macadam or gravel roads out of the question.

The rats make their way into the in closures by burrowing under the ground and then attack the smallest ducks in he flock. They usually carry the dead ducks into the woods. Rats have also devoured a large quan tity of celery and other plants growing in hot-houses. The South In 1898.

Dec. 30. Millionare iwiward Bam, president of the Bain Wagon Company, whose death ia an nounced from Pasadena, Cal., was fa miliarly known as the "man who never slept," and it is doubtful if another case like his exists. It is virtually a fact that for the last 15 years he did not sleep an hour in his bed. Constant devotion to business was the cause of his sleeplessness, he having been known to remain in nis factory up to 16 years ago as late as 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning, and when he would seek rest he found it impossible to sleep. At that time he practically relieved himself of business cares. For the greater part of the past 10 years it was his custom to take daily trips to (Jhicago to pass the time away in street car riding and driving , during the day, and at night he was always to be found either at a theater or billiard hall, which were the only places he was able to get short naps, the music of the theaters and the clicking of the billiard balls alone affording him Bhort spells of repose. He was born in Kinderhook, N. Y., 75 years ago. The cause of his death was pulmonary apoplexy. The Monroe Enquirer says that Mr. Noah Green, a well-to-do farmer of Big Lick township, Stanly county, started to Monroe one day during the holidays with a load of cotton.
