Matter. Fejdat, Mat If, 1902. Tlie aggregate receipts of fifty of our largest post dices were 11 per vnt greater in April than for llie correspond ing mouth of last year, but perhaps this increase was due to the cndlets chain fukes thu! the Post Office Department lias just put on the fraud list.

Aycock for Vice-President Everybody knows that no tnan who served in the Confed erate army would be elegible as a candidate because too many voters in the North are as yet Unreconstructed, but why it not a Southern man who was too young to take purt in the war an available candidate? Is he to share the inherited lion tility. The Columbia State, discuss ing Presidential tinber, suggests Governor Ayeoeic as fit timber for Vice-President. We quote: "Congressman Champ Clark and Cochran, of Missouri, it seems, have under takento start a Presidential boom for Sen ator Bailey, of Texas. It would appear that Mr. Bailey's place is in the Senate, for the duties of which he is peculiarly fittee. Put at any rate it is yet too early tu noinainatc a Southern man for President. The prevailing opinion is that the nomiee of the Democrats iu 1904 should cotno from a strong -difkiihtfiil Siate — New York, if possible. Mr. Hill is perhaps endeavoring to make the most of this belief but Air. is not the man. Judge Parker or Edwr.rd M. Shepard is nearer the utatk. With a mau like Shepard for President —a Northern man ot conspicu ous ability and high character attractive to independent* as well a* party men— the Demo crats would naturally go to the west to Till the socond place on the ticket. Should there be a desire to select the ViccPreai dential candidate from the South, however, we know of no other man in all this section ao preeminently qua'if.ed both for the nomination and for the office as Chas. B. Aycock, the •Joverucr of Not liCaroUua, lie is a man of force, i ntelli gence. character and ability - a leader whose wisdom and re source have been demonstrat ed. As a stump speaker he ran hold his own with the bett. Keep him iu mind iu all your calculations as to future poli tics." This tribute from the State will gratify all North Caro linians who belivo that higher honors are in store for the elo quent Educational Governor of this State.—News and Obeer \ BRIEF AND BREEZY. Slogging,abusing, and apolo gizing are rapidly becoming Senatorial specialties. Senator McLaurin prefers voluntnrily withdrawing tn be ing kir-ked oIT the Senatorial track. A coal miners strike isn't as alarming now as it would be if the thermometer Were dancing around zc o. Well, if thoy keep on saying 'pence at sn early day," in South Africa, they are bouud to hit it sometime. Strikes are always" loaded and require the most careful handling to avoid accilentisl explosions. Uncle Sam is more firmly fixed in power than President Sam, of Hayli, who was com pelled to resign. The May snow storm was not imaginary this year, but a very serious aftair in a wide section of the country. The majority of the Senate will now give the country an exhibition of bow to force a vote on the Philippine bill. It requires an occasional St. Pierre horror to keep stiff-neck •d humanity from forgetting that the whole world is kin. Because other nations have waged wars of extermination against inferior races furnishes no good reason for us to do so. Germany can nowprocced to get jealous while wo unveil the Uoclmmbtau monument, and do the bicther act with the visiting Frenchmen. The Senate wants to know about the sale of Indian lands in Kansas, and has adopted a resolution calling on the secre tary of the Interior for infor mation. Congressman Hopkins, oi 111., has shown that he knows a thing or two about the Sen atorial game, even if Senator "Billy" Mason docs insist that ho isn't yet licked. The Omnibus Statehood bill drove through the House with ilying colors, but it will be lucky if it has a spoko left iu either wheel when it gets over the first lap in the Scuatc. If Congressman I.acey, of lowa, really was ignorant of the meaning of "a good pair to draw to" it speaks well for the morals or his associates in Washington as well as his con stituents. Dan Lamont used the posi tion of Secretary to the Presi dent as a stepping stone to the Cabinet, and Washington Gos sip says that.Secretary Cortel you, who is slated for the lint , Secretary of Commerce and P Labor, will do likewise. Wc suppose there is now to bo high-jumping, as well as rough riding, as it is announc ed that the President has bought two hunting horse*, either of which makes five-foot jumps with case.

WASHINGTON LETTER May it, 190s One thing has been made rtiy plain by the Philippine debate dur | iug the past week, which has at j times been sensational and bitterly ' personal, and that is that the I hil ' ippine bill will not be voted upon 1 this month. But it is not equally j plain when it will be vote J upon, j The attempt to get unanimous con j sen: for taking a vote some day i this month brought out strenuous | objections trom the minority Sen | ators. ■ That is at far as the matter ! has gone. There are rumors that the j majority i .tend to try to force a t vote by holding continuo-s ses sions of the Senate and that the I younger Senators of the minority, 1 who seem to be managing the op position intend to filibuster as soon las an attempt t> force a vote is (started..Meanwhile time is pass-j j ing and much important legislation ; j remains unacted upon, and unless) • present conditions undergo a change will remain unacted upon at •this session unless Congress re- J mains in sessioi ail summer., , The President is still insisting that ! Cuban reciprocity and Isthmian ca-« j nal legislation must go through at j j this session. Representative Cowherd, of Ma, thinks the house is growing less in clined to 11 ten to set speeches- Speaking af the matter ha said. "1 recall anly one speech this session that commanded complete silence in the chamber. It was the speech of Mr. Cuahmau, of Washiugtoa. He surely had an attentive audi ence When I first came to Con gress such things were not the ex ceptioo.'' One has but to enter the gallery of the House when the aver age member is making a speech to see that Mr. Cowherd is not far wrong about speeches not being listened to. Nob. dy hears a whole sentence of an average speech ex cept the official stenographer. Gen. George W. Davis, comman der of the Department of Mindanao | and jolo in the Philippines, advo cates a vigo ious policy toward ItheMoros. In a report he recom j mends that Congress abrogate the treaty with the Sultan of Jolo, about ■ which has been printed. He says )we must make ' these born pirates feel the weight of our power." He says these districts will never be | controlled by white men, owing to their wildness; that ' the native races will continue to form 95 per | cent, of their inhabitants forever t and ever." Of the Sultan of Jolo he I says- 'lfheis to be retained as a j puppet kiugling he should I>j rob ! bed of all real power throi gh meas j arts such as have been so success : fully employed in Oriental lands." But that is not as far as he would like to go, as he adds. "I 'prefer to abate the sultan nusiance." Hon.

He got up and hit back as lively as possible until they were separated. The result of Senator Depewt amendment to the joint resolution for a constitutional amendment for the election of Senators by direct vote of the paople—that the elec tion should be held under Federal control has been to deadlock the Senate committee on Privileges and Elections. This is not surprising, aa the ssembere of the committee who are advocates of the election of Senator, by the people ant the most bitter opponents of Federal 1 control of elections.
