'Phone No 35. Statesville, N. C, April 4,. 1901. Gen. Funston i3 the hero of the Philippine war. His latest feat in capturing Aguinaldo is in keeping with his other daring achievements. The President did the proper thing in appointing him a Brigadier Gen eral in the regular army. He never graduated from West Point but be is a military genius, nevertheless. There is a disposition in certaio quarters to criticise Governor Ay cock for his pardons of criminals from the penitentiary. This is dor e by individuals and papers who are not acquainted with the facts upon which, the pardons are granted. There are many cases in w hich the executive clemency should be exer cised, and such is our confidence in the good judgment, integrity, jus tice and mercy of Governor Aycock that we are willing to risk his judg ment. Thank God, North Carolina has a Governor who is both just and merciful. - The Senate acquitted Chief Jus tice Furches and Associate Justice Douglas in the impeachment trial last Thursday by a vote of 27 to 23 not the necessary two-thirds to con vict. The verdict is accepted by the State, and is especially pleasing to Iredell people on account of Judge Furches, an honored citizen of our county. While we voted against the impeachment resolutions we have no words of censure for those members and Senators who voted for them. They are honorable men and voted as they saw their duty. The trial will not affect parties. It was not a party question, as Dema crats voted for and against it. Senator Pritchard Interviewed. Washington, Dispatch April i. Senator Pritchard made this state ment to-day in response to an in quiry: "I don't think it is proper that I should interfere with the prosecu tion of any one who may be indicted in the United States courts That is a matter that belongs exclusively to the officers of the court. I feel sure that Judge Boyd and district Attorney Holton will do their duty in the premises. In this connection 1 desire to say that recent events in the State will, in my judgment, con stitute a strong appeal to the dis cretion of those who are entrusted with the administration of the laws. - I think it is the duty of all good citizens to exert every influence to bring about a better state of feeling among those who oppose each other politically.

The official examination of the Treasurer's books by ihe legiaUnve committee, which begins next Wed nesday will very probably show t hat. the half of Maj. Martin's defalcation had not been discovered at the time of his arrest. From an unofficial examination of the books it appears that the steal ing commenced about the 1st of Jan ury, 1898, and ran up to December, 1900. Martin's plan was to raise the amounts in the warrants or vouchers in the arithmetical or figur ed part of it but not in the written part, and a warrant lor wouiu u entered as $195. In a. few instances the figure "1" would be changed to a "4,rso4hat a warrant for $150 would be entered as -a warrant for $450. It-is understood'that the low est amount forged was $20 and the highest $3,000. It is not yet definite ly known how great, will be the full amount, but enough has been ascer tained to know that the amount ex ceeds twelve thousand dollars. This applies only to the stealings in the penitentiary account. The accounts of theother institutions has not been examined, but there is a suspicion that Martin did not confine his oper ations to the penitentiary. What will Martin do? Will he submit, in accordance with his con. fession, or will he fight the case His attorneys are Col. ArgoandMr. Ryan. The law provides that the minimum penalty is twenty years in the penitentiary or a fine of $10,000, or both in the discretion of the judge. It is said that he will submit and throw himself on the mercy of the court. It is reported that an expert book keeper has been emplo3red toexamine the books with the view to being a witness in the event that Martin does not submit. His bond was onlv $5,000 and. the amount of his embezzlement above that sum will have to be paid by ex Treasurer Worth or his bond. A representative of the guaranty com panv in which Martin was bonded is here now,, and says he will notresisl the liability of his company when the amount is settled and the claim made.

The Next United States Senate. Constittution. With the election of two republi can senators in Nebraska, the re publican strength in the upper house of congress reaches a total of 53. This includes Kyle, of South Dakota who was elected as an independent, but who is counted by the republican managers as with them on all ques tions and who now attends all their caucuses. The democratic strength is 31, in cluding Heit field, of Idaho, and oth er fusionists who have signified their intention of going into the demo crane caucus, and are, indeed, on the caucus roll. Four men are classed as indepen dents Jones, of Nevada; Teller, of Colorado; Wellington, of Maryland, and McLaurin, of South Carolina.

C, Dispatch, 31st. The third large express robbery with which Columbia has been con nected in the last three rears occur red last week, aDd the facts have just come to light. Last Thursday the Bank of Columbia sent via the South ern Express Company a package con taining $5,000 in paper money, con signed to the Bank of Commerce of New York city. Saturday Col. W G. Childs, president of the Bank of Columbia, received a telegram from the Bank of Commerce stating that a package m?,rked to contain $5,000 in cash had been received, but that contained nothing but slips of brown paper. The - investigation then be gan. Tlie package was put up in Colum bia by an official of the bank and Colonel Childs is sure that it left all riyht. It was taken to the express office by one of its officials, not be ing entrusted to a porter. The rob bery was not committed in Colum bia. It is thought oy those in charge of the case that it went through to New York all right and was not mo- i iesteu unui it got. into tne iew York office, where the brown paper. was substituted for the bills. The Bank of Columbia loses noth ing and the Southern Express Com pany is responsible financially. Capt. O. M . Sadler, Mr. Richardson, route agent, and others are working on the case for the express company.

Uadical Tallc Against Southern Rights. Raleigh News and Observer, jist. A belated issue of the Congression al Record contains a speech purport ed to have been made by iex-Senator Butier in the closing days of -the Senate, upon North Carolina poli ties. It was in line with Senator Pritchard 's malignant attack upon his State, but was, if possible, more vicious and more violent. He calls upon the Senate to deny a seat in .that body to Senator Simmons, whose credentials, he says, with his usual disregard of truth, are stolen and "stained with fraud, force blood and violence." , A Washington correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle says that the Re publican National Committee has decided to take up the subject of ne gro disfranchisement in the South ern States, and that recently Sena tor Ha.nna had a longinterview with Preident McKinley on the suject and declared it as his intention to urge the passage of stringent laws by the Fifty-seventh Copgress. This dispatch declares that it is conceded that Senators from States which have passed repressive laws, like North Carolina and ilaryland, will have to fight for their seats be fore the Committee on Privileges and Elections. This was statedto be the case by Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who will be the next chair man of that committee. Senator Burroughs is also quoted as saying that "a new appointment may be made for every Congress," and he added: "Furthermore, the question will le considered of admitting to Con gress Senators elected by Legisla tures which were elected in States where a large number of citizens were disfranchised. That's what the Radicals want to do, and every man who gives the Radicals a lift, little or great, is thereby assisting those who seek to humiliate and degrade the power of their State. lf troubled by a weak digestion, loss of appetite, or constipation, try a few doses of Chamberlain's Stom ach and Liyer Tablets.

Russia's apparent withdrawal or modification, of her demands quite fails to restore confidence in an am icable settlement of the proolem. It is pointed out with melancholy truth by one English wri er that trifling with the Anglo-Russian in cident at the Tien Tsin rail way sid iDg will probably cost Great Britain at least twenty million pounds. It was the news of this incident and a possible conflict between Russia and Great Britain, it is now harned, which caused Botha's rejection of Kitchener's peace terms.
