President Roosevelt's plan to put the railroad rate making powers into the hands of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, is likely to receive more sup port outside of hia party than within Republican lines, and the effect of this is already foreshadowed, and the best outlook for whatever railroad legisla tion attempted in the next Congress, will be in the nature of a compromise, and this while it means some gain, per haps, for regulating the railroad peo ple in the matter of rates, is not going to prove radical enough to please either the President or those who would set a commission to practically control rail road rate making. The Washington dispatches tell of a recent caucus of the Republican mem' bers of the Senate Committee on Inter state and Foreign Commerce. The Democratic members had previously declared their position on this railroad rate matter, in caucus, which was favorable for Commission control. The Republican committee, with such prom' inent member as Senators Elkin, For aker, Aldrich and Kean, who were in the majority, are quoted as being un alterably opposed to any legislation which shall be giving the rate making power to the Commission. . The quiet fight throughout the coun try already being waged on this rail way rate problem, indicates that once the issue is fairly drawn in Congress, that the contest will be a stiff one. The Republican Senators, strong and influential, both in their own party and with the commercial interests of the country, in this instance the com mercial interests being the railroad people, are factors in . this contest. Their legislative ability is unquestion ed, and where they cannot openly de feat legislation which they oppose they are capable of bring about compromise measures which mean nothing, in the way of changes. There can be no doubt but that the next Congress will be the scene of active legislation,' and the great contest will be on this rate making commission problem. It is not apolitical issue, and the President must depend upon his political enemies, even if a compro mise measure is to be secured. WATCHING WOMEN WORK From the earliest ages, when much , of the menial and hard labor fell upon woman's shoulders, to the present day when civilization has raised woman from being the drudge and slave, "proud man" has often watched and perhaps too carelessly noted the real capacity of this being, whom he, man, has been wont to assume the "lord and master" over. , ' But in this day while men watch women work, it is with very different thought, than did the early men, who watched women as slaves, for it is today as equals, often as superiors, do men note woman's work, for it com mands both respect and attention, be cause it shows genius and ability, and it is only the indifferent or thoughtless man who cannot profit by watching the work of the woman of today. The greatness of woman's work, is that it begins when man has either given up, or is on the brink of quitting, this applying more particularly in the various reforms which society has de manded for the protection and preserv ation of its own members. It is woman who r; fuses to palliate evil, and do r " 1 1 .) rcctlun. It is woman's nature t 1 v i iii ,;,r, to have hersurroundinns 1 v: y;p nr:"lV ,1 1 I a 1 . and f'u-ttirs:;te it work proven more needed than in muni cipalities. Some men and a few women will smile or decry the work of a Woman's Club, with it departments for school betterment, library extension and city improvement, fur what busi ness is It of Woman's to tell how the streets shall be cleaned, trees planted along the public roads, or to criticise the acts of those officials who do not look after a city's cleanliness I , It may not be actually woman's busi ness to look after city improvements, but it becomes her duty, therefore business, when man fails to look after the public welfare and health,, to take up the burden until man is made to feel the odium which is surely his, when he stands about, indifferent and careless in his citizenship, and fails to correct local abuses which are patent to every person gifted with senses, of seeing, smelling and hearing. It is only when a man becomes dere lict in his public dutyJhat woman's full force is seen, and in noway is this more to be noted than in the Woman's Club work when it takes hold of a immunity, refusing to accept anything except the absolute correction of local irregularities! and the positive better ment of conditions which need improv ing; and which keeps at work until 'proud man" is made ashamed and driven to work himself, instead of being a watcher while woman works. AN APOLOGY FOR MUNI CIPAL OWNERSHIP. Those public utilities, electric lights, water and sewerage, are under munici pal control in New Bern. The evidence of this has been all apparent during the past week, for if they had been undei private ownership, there would have been some demand made upon the own ers to give light, or forfeit their charter But under municipal ownership there is too much general partnership, every tax payer is a partner, and to abuse the system, means to cast reflections upon oneself, The partners in th;s local municipal ownership, the taxpayers, have recent ly had two nights without the street electric lights burning, and one night there were no lights for stores and resi- dences. Excuses for these failures ( were offered, no steam, injury to ma chinery, not enough power. All those may do for excuses, but they cannot be a :cepted as reasons by those who pay f )r lights. Neither is it an acceptable reason for lackof water pressure to say that the fireman had let the steam fall off, because he had failed to keep up the fire. For itself, as one of the partners in municipal ownership and one of the supporters of lights and water, as a user, the Journal does not accept the above excuses. And as a partner and payer, the Journal would like to ask if those who use lights and let them continue burning all night in store or residence pay for this service. And if those who use fans or hydrants in their stores, and let these run without stop, . day land night, week day and Sunday, whether the store may be open or closed, pay for this all the time service. Here is wasted power, unless the .service is paid for. Is it paid for? It is now the time of year when with colder weather, store keepers and householders are likely to try and save their water-pipes from freezing by let ting the water faucets run continuously Who pays for this? Those who waste the water? Those who will pay most severely will .be the property owners whose buildings may take fire on a cold winter's night, for it has been found before this that with hard pumping, the water works could not on winter nights force sufficient streams of water to put out fires- '. ' The fact of municipal ownership is' no warrant for waste and neglect of power which ought to be and .is de manded by every consumer who pays for lights and water, for light and water waste means wear out without the money returns to make good in re pairs. , If consumer get twelve hours of light and pays for six, the consumers who pay for twelve are given less than they pay for. And for water service the loss is also increased the same way but the fire menace is added. This is the season for taking note and remedying these defects, not after the winter has begun, or next spring. The waste should be stopped at once, and for the so-called 'excuses, there should be no further occasions for their being offered, for they are too trivial to be worthy of being given, and dis credit those who offer them.

Raleigh and Southport Read Mad Dog Sensation Big Charter Granted. Professorship tor North Carolina. Raleigh's ' Industries. Illicit Distilleries Seized Over One Hundred. Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 24. The Agri cultural & Mechanical College may be the recipient of a gift of $100,000. This is a piece of very interesting news. A gentleman connected with a very great educational movement says that the money can easily be secured if the col lege, that is the State, will accept the building or buildings and maintain them It is understood that the gift will be in the line of marked development of this now notable and rapidly growing insti tution, which is so much in need of more of what may be termed house room, and of course in need of special buildings for the development both of its agricultural and mechanical depart ments, v.; The Raleigh and Southport Railway Is to be completed to Fayetteville about the 1st of February, the laying of rail from Lillington towards Fayetteville having begun, and the steel bridge icross the Cape Fear river at L'lllngton which cost over $40,000 having been .'ompleted. It is the purpose to have a celebration of the completion of the road to Fayetteville and a special train ailed with officials and Raleigh's lead ing business men will go there on that occasion as it went to Lillington last summer. There was a decided sensation in the Southwestern part of Raleigh today, due to a mad dog, which bit a white nan named Thompson and two negroes. lhe animal attempted to bite a negro woman, the wife of one of the men who was bitten but she got into her house. The dog ran amuck through the streets Mid was finally shot by a policeman several blocks away. Physicians at once cauterized the wounds made by the dog s teeth and it is possible that other special treatment . will be given. A charter is granted E. V. Finlayson Mfg. Co. of Charlotte, with capital stock amounting to $500,000 of which $50,000 is preferred stock. Paul Chat ham, E. V. Finlayson and W. R.

Mr. Lewis is a young man of marked talent and is a graduate of the University of North Carolina. For the past two years he has been taking a special course at Johns Hop kins University, Baltimore. ' ; Raleigh already has in operation plant for making sand lime brick, etc, and now is to have an extensive plant for the manufacture of ties, etc. The buildings are under construction for this and are north of the Seaboard Air Line shops, near where the old car wheel works used to be. At the Caraleigh Cotton Mills, a mile south of here, new and much larger boilers are being installed, and some other improvements are being made to themills. . Revenue officers say that in this dis trict this year at least 150 moonshine distilleries have been seized. The in formation as to the location of these is harder to get than ever before. In fact the information now comes gener ally through unsigned letters and there is very often a foot note to the saying, :burn this letter". One such letter was in fact received today. Some of the moonshiners are quite daring, as they have always been, and have their plants in quite public places, and near the roads., while others lurk in the thickete,akng the little branches..

Your correspon dent and his guests, the State officers, had a splendid day of it yesterday on the annual rabbit hunt, and although the number of rabbits bagged was not as large as usual there was never more amusement or abetter dinner. Gover nor Glenn proved himself a capital shot at both rabbits and partridges, in fact an all round sportsman and good fellow. The party had two regrets.one that President Roosevelt was not with it and that, for the first time Commis sioner of Agriculture' Patterson missed the hunt The latter loves the rabbits and they love him for the simple reason that one can run about as fast as the other. In tbe party yesterday was Mr. Henry Clay Brown, clerk to the Cor poration Commission who took his first holiday Bince the commission was form ed 1891. All the commissioners are de lighted that Mr. Brown took this rest State Treasurer Lacy was the life and soul of the party, of course, and his big cowboy hat, the prize of Arizona was shot full of holes by the Governor, this cost Mr. Lacy money, as he had ban tered the Governor and made an offer of 25 cents per hole. It was a great day, and did everybody good. Demands Dr. Souchon't Resignation. New Orleans, Nov. 24. Answering a communication addressed by Dr. Ed mund Souchon to the. New Orleans Times-Democrat in which the president of the Louisiana State Board of Health says that he is compiling a report on the yellow fever outbreak In New Or leans for Gov. Blanchard and that he is willing and ready to abide by the Gov ernor's decision as to his culpability, Loveque's Harlequin, the independent weekly says today: ; -o ; -. "Why the Governor's decision? Have you no decision of your own? Is the Governor's judgment of an extraordi narily superior character? Do you re gard it as superior to the people's? Is there any doubt in your mind as to the people's decision?, ' In what shape do you want the people's decision? Must it come as a formal petition? Whose money, sir, are you drawing for the office which you have discredited in the eyes of a State and a nation? Is it Governor Blanchard's or the people's? Have you heard a murmur on any side to the effect that you should continue in office? Have you failed to hear the suggestion on every hand that you should resign? What in h do you take public office in this State to be? A private snap, hanging on the Govern' or's decision? You say you have com' plied with the law and with the com pact of the Southern States? Do you challenge reputation of this fact? Do you mean seriously to say that fever was not reported, according to law, by pracjicianers in this city long before it was officially given out? Do you mean to say that no attempt was made to conceal the existance of fever here? Do you mean to say that it was not given out to the profession that the re porting of fever as fever was unpopu lar? I shall put a fine point on it: : I assume, sir, that you are filling your place out of a desire to give efficient service and not, solely for the salary of the position. I assume this in spite of the fact that you leave the decision in the Governor's hands instead of resting it upon your own sense of duty and of right as a citizen in a republic occupy ing a public office. Assuming these things, do you really believe you retain a shred of confidence anywhere in the South or the country in your position as head of the State Board of Health? Do you believe seriously that your re tention of this job will not seriously in- jure the business interests and conse quently all the interests of this State? Why then leave the decision to Gov. Blanchard? Where is your own de cision? wherein must the Governor's be better than that of a man competent to occupy a place of such importance as that yon fill? Come down. Doctor Souchon. The people do not want you. It is the people's money you are draw- tag It is genteel to resign the service of an employer to whom one is not giv ing satisfaction. ' Counterfeiting The Genulnt.
