THE HENDEESOX GOLD JLEAF THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1907. ' - The Gold Leaf. THURSDAY, JANT.VHY 2i, 1007. Fares, a Flat Rate, and Needed Railroad Legislation. I harlott'- OI'-rvr. Senator Graham of n&'1 I?rir that he i confident the Leg-i-latiire will fix railroad fares at ap proximately 2 cent- for first-class and 2 cents for second-class and that one fare at a Hat rate o 2 cento would not be satisfactory to he pub lic The figures suosted for nrst anl sc-ond-class fares are about riht-the cut should not, in justice, 1 deeper than that indicated, and a second-class rate of 2 cents would . not be out of the way, with changeable rnilea book at 2 cents. We are sure that Major (.rahain is correct in his opinion that the aboli tiou of tlie second-class car and a flat rate of '2 cents would not be satisfactory to tje public, " there are any whofavor th.s it .-doubtless l,ecau.i they have not rejected deep iv upon it. All are familiar -with the fact that on gala day and holiday K-rasions, and not on these occa sions alone, by any means, dr.inken, turbulent men, agitate and pollute the atmosphere of the second-class ,-i.r, to which they resort by prefcr en.e, with profanity and obscenity, and that violence is not uncommon. To think of women and children as witnesses of such scenes.and enforced hearers of the language to which thev would be subjected under a one fare system, shocks the senses. 1 or their sakes, as well as that of men to whom unseemly language and be havior are offensive, we sincerely hope the legislature will not lend its countenan.e to the flat rate. We have no idea what the railroads think of this idea; that is a minor considera tion; but there are several phases of the railroad question which suggest legislation while to inaugurate the flat rate would 1 to precipitate con ditions which would be almost calam itious for the next two years when t he legislature would, in the light of the experience suffered, surely compel the restoration of the second-class car. As matters which need legisla tion, apart from the reduction of fares upon which subject legislation is assumed inter-State freight rales should be reduced, or the power to reduce them lodged with the corpor ation commission; the powers of the commission materially enlarged, to the end that it may correct manifest abuses; and a penalty laid for failure to properly bulletin trains, as to which matter the orders of the com mission are openlv and flagrantly defied.

Roosevelt and the Negro. Kaleigh Times. Negro preachers who continue to criticize l'resident Koosevelt for dis missing the black battalion for its disgraceful and murderous condui t at P.rownsville, Texas, are not help ing the cause, and the race must suffer lecause of the wild speech of its so-called leaders. These preachers take the' position that the soldiers would not have suffered that punish ment if they hail been white. The president declares, however, that the action would have been the same if the offenders had been of another color, and even the most bitter enemies of Mr. Koosevelt must admit as much. (Jeneral Kobert K. Lee, as has been already explained, dischar ged a white command during the civil war for conduct less damnable, and there are other instances of the same character in the regular army. President's Koosevelt's message to the senate was too clear to admit of any misunderstanding or miscon struction. He showed that he sim ply did what the good of the United States army demanded. That being true, the negro preachers should be silent. They are merely misleading their followers. The order of dis missal was unquestionably right and the president did no more than was authorized by the law of the land.

The third week's work of the General Assembly bgan today at noon with ev ery prospect a dust wee auu me clianees are that several o! the most im portant bills to claim the attention of the lawmakers this session will receive attention in one or the other of the two hrances of the legislature. Amonff these is the Aycock anti-tmst j bill introduced by the senator from Wayne last r nday and wnicn is now in the hands of the senate judiciary com mittee. The hill is a rigid one and some of its provisions it is claimed are too drastic. The measure will therefore pro voke debated in both houses after it leaves the committee room. The important bills introduced early in the HCKsion by Senator Graham and others to regulate railway operation and reduce the rates of tranportation and for other purposes will be consider ed by the senate committee on railroads the latter part of this week and will con sume several days of the sittings of that committee before reaching the senate proper. Representatives of the several railway companies will be here from a distance with statistical facts and other figures, access to which is essential to the committee in dealing intelligently and justly with the corporations in per fecting the provisions of the bills. There appears to be a largely shared dispositon among the legislators, so far as the readjustment of passenger rates is concerned, to make the first-class fare two and a half cents, maximum. There is some talk of abolishing the second class coach and fare entirely, but I have noticed that there has developed consid erable opposition to this policy within the lust week. As some of the law makers have stated to me, a class of peo ple would take offense if that was done, although under the 2 cent rate they could ride first-class for less than they now pay for the inferior second-clues ac commodations. They would demand a second-class rate in reduced proportion, say to two cents, and therefore it is al together probable that the bill when finally panned will contain that provis ion. IJesides. I have heard senators say lately that the second-class coaeh is ae necessary as the separate coach or com partment for negroes, because there is always a class of white rowdies and toughs, often more or less druuken, who ought not to be allowed to ride in the same coach with refined people, especial ly with the ladies. And as a rule the class mentioned will buy the second-class ticket voluntarily, some from pecuniary consideration and some from choice. The important bills affecting the life insurance business that have so far been introduced are in the hands of the com mi t tees and they will probably not come up in the senate proper this week. The bills affecting child labor in cotton mills and other factories will also be de ferred till later in the session. During the past week considerable legislation was accomplished, especially in the Sen ate, more work having been done than is customary within the first ten days. Hut the amount of work which this leg islature will be called upon to do will be found to be far greater than that of any similar body in this State in a great many years. Indeed, it is possible the governor may be called upon to prolong the stay of the lawmakers here by con vening them in extraordinary session after the expiration of the sixty days to which the regular session is limitedlwith pay. The famous insane asylum ease was tried here during the past week and after consuming three days ended Friday night in the acquittal of the defendants charged with the death of the patient Nail. Judge Jones, however, in com menting in open court, stated that while the verdict was in accordance with evi dence, which was not sufficient to con vict the indicted men of murder, the evi dence also clearly showed that the treat ment which the patient received was '"brutal and horrible." That is strong language and Judge Jones is a man that weighs his words. Still the treatment referred to was probably chargeable to the attendants and cannot properly be laid directly at the door of the superin tendent and management of the institu tion. The latter ought, however, in all reason, to draw the check rein a little tighter on attendants after this, and that will in all propability be done. Gov. Glenn was in Washington Satur day and made some headway in an ef fort to have the prosecution of mill men for employing alien labor stopped. LLKWXAM.

I have never known the first four days of the session of the General Assembly of North Carolina in any year to bare been crowded with more interest than that of the present Legislature daring the past week, and the prospects are that this will be the most important and interest ing session that has marked the prepress and development of the State. As in all years agone the demagogue and the political trickster is here again and their presence will be felt in both branches of the Lft islature, but they-are greatly outnumbered by the conscienti ous and patriotic sons of the Old North State who have come here at the bidding of their people and the call of their State to serve them and it for the welfare and advancement of all the people and all the interests of the State that stand for its higher enlightenment and material and moral advancement. But in their views of these matters they will honestly differ and for a Legislature made up as largely of the members of only one political organization there is going to be a wonderful lot of spirited scrapping during the next sixty days. During the past week a number of bills were introduced that will provoke a lot of discussion. There has already been an avalanche of bills designed to "regu late" railroads and other corporations. Fully a score of bills variously worded have already found their way into the legislative hopper calling for lower pas senger and freight rates.and one of them even attempts to stipulate how and in what manner passengers shall enter and leave railroad coaches. It will not be surprising at all if some Smart Alex pops up before the session is much father ad vanced and introduce a little bill to com' pell the locomotive engineers to sit on the other side of their cabs and requiring the hremen to occupy the side now held by the engineers. Same way about the radical and meddling tendency of some or those legislative sprouts with regard to other important industries. They do not confine their powers of divination to "seeing through" the naughty and b-a-a-d corporations of every kind, but will attempt to handicap the efforts that the governor and an element is making to establishing means for relieving the labor lamine on the farms and in the factories of the State. And still most of them will really believe that they are doing right, therefore it does not lie in our mouth to impugn their motives with the bare possibility of an exception once in a while when he puts himself in the attitude of a stumbling block to Iegisla riou in general. The bills of Senators Blair and Gra ham and Speaker Justice and one or two A I. . i 1 a oiners in tne House win provoke a Hpinted contest in thecommitteesand on the floor, because they are regarded as most important of the character referred to as affecting corporate interests and corporate rights of public service corpor ationsthis legislature in the formation of committees has drawn a distinction between private corporations and cor porations in general and "public service corporations." The' Legislature will honor Gen. Lee's memory next Saturday on the 100th an niversary of his birth and Gen. Hoke.the famous Confederate major-general, whose modesty has kept his private life since the end of the Civil war, has been invited to be present at the capitol that he may add honor to the occasion. Senator Simmons will be renominated for United States Senator by the Demo cratic caucus which meets tomorrow night without opposition. LLEWXAM. Chronic Constipation Cured.

Wilmington Messenger. It was a sickening Bight yesterday at market dock. Gray trout, croakers and spots, thousands of fish, that if given a chance to mature are delicious fish, prof itable to the fishmermen and the dealer, lay heaped up, with little value above that of feritilizers. A schooner load of fish arrived yesterday, and sold for $50. Think of twenty-five tons of gray trout, croakers and spots selling at such prices! And they were not wanted very much at this price, for the fish were small. The lar gest were picked out and strung in bunch es and sold to the colored people. The great bulk will be thrown on the fields in James City for fertilizer. These fi6h were caught off Beaufort inlet, in nets used to catch menhaden, nets small of mesh, nets which let no fish escape. Here was a lot of immature fish sold for $50, thatif left to grow into a natural state, would ac cording to Mr. Geo. N. Ives, be worth $1,000 and a fisherman nearby said $2, 000. The above, taken from the Daily Journal, of New Bern, of Friday last, should be brought to the attention of every member of the Legislature. Such destruction of fish should not be allowed. There should be a stringent law against it, and the law should be enforced. If the fish com missioner has not force enough at his command to compel compliance with the law as now existing or here after to be enacted let the legislature make provision for such a fores under his command as will enable him to see that the law is obeyed or that those who violate it are appre hended so they may be properly punished. This is not by any means, the first report which has come from New Bern of such wholesale destruc ction of fish in adjacent waters. There is now complaint of the scarcity of fish in our sounds and eastern rivers. If the kind of fishing as the Journal relates is allowed to continue the fish will continue to grow scarcer until that important industry will be entirely destroyed. It is time the legislature was passing more stingent laws on this subject. It should be done for the protection of those engaged in the legitimate business of catching fiish for the markets. That industry should not be allowed to be destroyed by this slaughtering of the young fish. It is & shame that this kind of fishing should go unpunished. We hope the legislature will give this matter care ful attention and will come to the rescue of the men whose business is threatened with destruction by these despoilers of the gea." -W: Catarrh and Catarrhal Headaches are quickly relieved by Nosena.
