Cftutftd OwrtotttOkMmr. Washington. March 17.-When the Senate convened to-day, Mr. Morgan sent to the desk the ac connt of the legislative session proceedings of yesterday, printed In a Washington paper. The article related to statements st legcd to have keen made by Mr. Morgma in n fonr-honrs speech to the Senate yesterday. When the reading was concluded, Mr. Morgan addressed the Seaate, protesting against the character of the report and condemning > nay persons, • whether members of the > Senate .or apt, who di vulge executive session secrets. He submitted a resolution direct ing, the Senate committee on foreign relations to make inquiry into tfas protocol" of Jan nary 31. 1903, and the award to tha Santo Domingo Improvement Com pany. ot July 14, 1904. He asked that the inquiry he made to as officers In Eastern waters. Mr. had read an interview with the Japanese minister, de SsSlrS *ny *ucb patpose was ■Mw-PJE government. Replies to Mr. Carmack were by Senators Dolliver and Allison, on the grounds that the interview attributed to Mr. Hnll did not'express his sentiments, and the Senators questioned the correctness of the statement of the Japanese' minister, and this J** by ^Mr. Carmack with the statement that such a reply was the very kind that could be expected from the Japanese miri *b* circumstances.

OVERWHELMED WITH LOCAL BILLS. The Multiplicity •( Lucul Hum* urea Discredits dre Werksf tbs Legislature—A ChauRa la the 6aaJaM| gw a A a or no id nitflifl. ■lb Item I hncte. Haying received mote than two thousand measures <md hav ing enacted more than hall of them, the General Assembly of North Carolina adjourned March 6. Of the thousand or more laws added to oar statutes, all save a few are of exclusively local effect, many of them re lating to individuals, corpora tions or small towns. Of the twenty or more measures of State importance in trod need, less than ten have been the subject of general interest. Pot s Senate of 50 men and a House of 120 to consider 2.00Q measures within 00 ' days is. absurd. They do not even as sn me to do so. All local meas ures are left to the local re pre sents tires. We have, therefore, each two years the spectacle of 170 men each with a bundle of little bills on his arm atraiting his turn to have bis measure Ititmww) hiUIi lU. the General Assembly, each promising xg stamp the other fellow's! Obviously this condition is due to a defective syetem, and it will grow worse and worse uadi a change shall Sc brought about. Already the representa tives of a county practically rale that connty. Already half the counties in the Stats are in the habit of rushing desperately to Raleigh every two years to prevent their representatives from doing one thing or to force them to do another. Already tha General Assembly is the scene of pitched battles be tween all the little local factions m the Commonwealth. Already the viewpoints in NorthCaiolina is the county viewpoints rather than the viewpoints of the Commonwealth. Already the wfsdom of Solomon and the patience of Job is required of the member of the Legislature who would maintain bis stand ing amongst his own people. fhu is ogly one phase of the matter. On the other band, we have the spectacle of a great Commonwealth making laws to keep fleas out of Bethel church, to forbid fishing in Jones’ pond, to prevent the riding of bicycles in Roper, and 1,000 other such measures. The State thus loses immensely in dignity—in self refcpect. The legislator himself acquires a contemns for hii position. The sense of humor in the general public is ap pealed to rather than their te ipect for the majesty of law. Moreover, the time that might be dev 'ted to measure of real imporumce ia consumed and these measures invariably await the final days of the sitting and we. passed or defeated under whip and spur. •» Such ia the working of the (*«**et system. It accounts for the fsilnre of the General As* ■emblies to give aatUfaction;'lt ‘ account for the political oblivion that ia the reward of the aver age member of the General Assembly; it accounts for the reluctance of strong awn to itand for election to the GenStsl Assembly! and, are ventnre the opinion, that it accounts ia no 1 mean degree for much of the disregard loi law. , Wa suggest that jt ia time-to Institute a change wfth a view U> requiring our counties to re Have the General Assembly of these wholly local agtters. • Commenting on the above, the Sutesvflle Landmark says: The Biblical Recorder’s anal of the Legislators is sbirept. A change ia the lyateta if needed.

Deputy Sheriff Bob Rhyne waa placed at the Carpenter borne in Harden to guard yonng Carpen ter who is still in a serious coa lition. Qshs a large comber of peo ple were at the scene of the in Quest and there waa a general feeling of disappointment when it became known that tbe in Qnest waa to be held behind dosed doors. A statement in regard to the purpose of Mr. Kale’s visit to Harden appeared in Tbe Char lotte Observer of Friday morn ing. It is aa follows: sir. C. B. Hutchison, presi dent of the Kims Manufacturing Company, of Mt. Holly, asks The Observer to correct tbe re port that Superintendent A. M. Kale, the victim of tbe tragedy it Harden Wednesday, had gone to the Harden Manufacturing Company's plant forthe purpose of enticing mill help to the Mims mill.
