; . Canal, and favorably mentioned for New York's police
? head, ate., haa been promoted to the rank of Major Gen
eraL This action on the part of the War Department is
,$ worthy tribute of the great work accomplished through
i the genius and pluck of Goethala and his able assistants.
: When the efforts of the private contractors to construct
, the canal and the complete flssle that they scored ia taken
i into consideration, the triumph of the army officers is all
the more creditable. The promotions will be generally

Germany aeema to be manifesting a good spirit in re

it can to provide eafe travel lanes. Of course, It may be
ald that it ia to Germany interest to make it possible
: for American supply ahlpa to reach her shores and for
,-that reason there ie "method in her madness," but her
r ; attitude nevertheless has not been as obdurate to the
. , jtighta of non-belligerents as has England's. The assign

EVERY PRECAUTION SHOULD
BE TAKEN BY TIIE AUTHORITIES.
The appearance of a case of smallpox In this city is
not necessarily a cause for alarm, but the city authorities
should exercise every precaution to see chat the man suf
fering from the disesse ia kept isolated un all danger
of Infection ia past There is no State quarantine law,
but that does not absolve the local authorities from res
portability. The city physician aays that he is powerleei
to keep those afflicted with smallpox from going about
at will. The same situation prevails pretty generally
throughout the State, and Raleigh haa been suffering frotr.
a near-epidemic Just for that very reason. Smallpox pa
tient should not.be allowed to run at large. Temporary
meaeurea ahould be taken at once to see to it that the
danger of Infection ia reduced to a minimum. The eoat
of maintaining a guard over a few isolated cases is noth
ing compared to, haring to establish a pest house and
corps of public vaccinators. V This situation ahould be
watched very carefully,' and such action as is warranted
by developments should be taken promptly.

there will be no problems too large for, these declaimers

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Raleigh Times j "The announcement that Congress wil
not meet in extra session must be good news to those mom
bers who have remained in Washington for the greater
part of the past two years. Their families, too, should
welcome the ewsvi The 'American people are glad that
Congress will not be in Session this spring and summer
There ia a consideration greater than any of these, how
ever, and that is the President's health. He has had no
time to go junketing about the country, but has been force
to remakv In Washington with Congress on the one side
and ihe' European war on the other and the confinement
haa not done him any good. It is to be hoped that Pre si

attention, but hia friends should see to it that he is not
too closely confined." .

$100,000 FOR THE V. M. I.
- . Richmond Virginian: "At the eame time that the Six
ty4hlrd Congress passed the omnibus appropriation biP
providing for the payment to Virginians of many thous
and dollars lost through destruction of property by the
Federal Government during the Civil War, a bill was got
ten through which gives to the Virginia Military Insti
tute the sum of 1100,000 for buildings burned during tho
war. Thia amount comes to the institute as a partiully
just retribution for damages done it, hut the long delaj
in payment prevents absolute justice being done by any
blU,;.- That, Virginia Representatives and Senators wort
chiefly instrumental in securing the passage of both these
bills goos without saying. In the passage of the V. M. I.
bill they had the assistance of Senator DuPont of Dela
ware, who did much valuable work in pushing the bill.
After twenty-five year of endeavor. Senator Martin,
Congressman Flood and their colleagues in both branches,
have won another great victory for Virginia and one of
her moat famous institutions. 0 :'A' -vyiA

CONGRESS EXTRAVAGANCE ..J :Mi&H
Greensboro Dally News t', "It la generally agreedwe be
lieve, that Congress, which ended its labors on the fourth
instant1 did a number of good and desirable things. It?
labors wer patriotic and prodigious, and Democrats will
bo pleased to reflect that the session was a notable one,
since that party held an easy control. One demerit that
has been set against the merit of the Sixty-third Con
gress is that In observing most of the planks and pledges
in the party platform, it paid very little attention to that
relating to econoo The people" want money for things,
and it it ha: reproach Congress for extravagance, but
even a 'number of the party journals have viewed the
lavish expenditures with very real alarb. For example,
the New York World presents these figures: The appro
priations by this Congress, the first having a Democrat.-;
majority in both housea aince the Fifty-third Congress,
which sat In 1803-95, aggregate f 2.237,000,000, The total i
appropriations by the Fifty-third Congress, twenty years
ago( were $917,000,000. ; At that time billion-dollar t
Congress was thought to.be inexcusably wasteful. Of 1
late we have had two-billion-doltar Congresses as a rcgu
lar thing, and now we are taking leave of one that has
made a record of almost two and one-quarter billions.
This lavish use of the public funds is set down as the one
great fault of the Sixty-third Congress. There are thosej
who fear that the Federal government is" committed to so
such prodigality that no political party will ever wholly
succeed if; correcting the wrong, or applying the brakes."
