poration Commission..
Jast night mill this morning ex-Commissioner
Wilson was in consultation
with friends mid legal advisers as to
whether be should brine suit for the
place liekl by his slHTossor, Commis
sioner Rogers. He was in consultation
with Col. J. C .L. Harris and 'other
friends and' it is not very risky
to predict that a case entitled Wilson
against Rogers will be in the court
ere Ions.
A political friend of the ex-Commissioner
was asked if suit would lie
brought and be replied by saying, "He
is consulting his friends and I suppose
will lie governed largely by wbat they
advise bim."
Fanner Wilson himself was seen by
a reporter of The Times-Visitor shortly
after noiui today and; asked "Io yon
intend to brine suit for the place yon
bad in the Railroad Commission, now
the North Carolina Corporation, Com
mission'?" "I don't know: 1 haven't decided yel."
was his only reply, but lie does not de
ny that he has 1h-cii in consultation
over the matter.

GATE NUISANCE.
it'omiiiwiiiicatcd.l
The- IbKird of Aldermen of Raleigh
would be "pro bono publico" lioily
if they would pass an ordinance on the
"Olen Gate" question. The "Open
lloor" policy in China of England and
the I'nited States seems to lie agitating
the muml of the people of the civibwd
world, but fiiT more reaching in its ef
fect upon the people of Raleigh is the
"Open Gate" iniestioii.. It is as "old as
the hills." and no Board' of Alderinon,
since Eve made a dress of fig leaves in
the Garden of Eden, had nerve enough
to pass an ordinance requiring citizens to
"swing their gait's on t'he inside.' No
doubt Father Adain would have "swung
Ills gate on the inside if there bad not
been a no-fence law in bis garden, but
since the days ir Adam, the "imhmi gate"
has been a dangerous and almost deadly
nuisance. Noah, while bis ark was
floating at high tide over the site of this
city, no doulit "swung his door lor gate)
on tlie outside, but. he hail to keep it
closed, for fear that the iiir'nnals might
get stampeded and run overboard. .But
certain citizen of this city seem to think
that it is too much trouble to keep tbeir
gates closed. osecially wiie-.it the gas
is not lighted early on dark nights and
w hen the electric lights fail to shine.
If our excellent Board: of Aldermen
do not feel inclined, to abate the nui
sance of swinging gates on the outside
Iby passing an, ordinance that in fu
ture all new buildings having fences
around them and gales shall swing tliein
on the inside, and also make all per
ons leaving -their gates open.citli'.T by
day or by night, "swing -them on the
inside") the Aldermen should order the
Street Commissioner to "hang r,l
lamiis on all gates left open at e.ig'it
"to warn sober as well as drunken
men' (to say nothing of blind men) that
"danger lurks near by." As it is at
present (in the day time) th'e sidewalks
should be made twice as wide as !he
"oiM'ii gates" take up half of the pave
ment and pedestrians are obliged to
dodge the open gates. If gates are not
dusted, it would be a good idea to
take them off their hinges, as they
serve no purixise, except as an adjunct
to an apothecary shop to enliven the
trade in "sticking plasters."
Tlie Hoard of Ablernien did very
"nobly" In taking down harmless signs,
tfhieh hurt nolsaly. but in tbe matt r
of "oimmi gates." "swinging them on the
inside," they have not had the cour
age to tackle that dangerous nuisance.
The AlileriiHin who introduces and suc
ceeds in passing an "Anti-Open Gat "
ordinance will have accomplished as
great a victory for the citiaens of Ral
eigh (especially those having business
that compels them to travel at night)
as did Schley at Santiago and Icwey
at Manila, for the United States, and
at the death (which God forbid) of
the aforesaid nervy Alderman, a monu
ment should be placed in Capital Square
as a. companion piece to the ones to
be erected there' in honor .of the hero
of Cnideuas-Ensign Worth Bnglcy
and that sturdiest "Old Roman of all
North Carolina Statesmen" Senator

emi is not to blame as the railroads- have
a fixed agreement which wpecities what
reduction is to lie made for such oeca

The terra cotto pipe which ran un

such I hat the funics anil germs gen

were conducted to the meat house, im

Col. Shaffer said that workmen were

UNCLE SAM'S GUAM
! Reform in Our Smallest Possession
Marriage Instituted Each Man to
Have 12 Hens and I Sow.
Washington. Nov. 211. Captain
O'l'ary. the energetic Naval Governor
of Giniin. is revolutioui.ing the meth
ods of living among the natives of the
island ami introducing reform measures
that will bring the country to a slate
of prosperity from one of demoraliza
tion as a result of friar influence and
Spanish rub'. Governor O'Leary be
gan his reform policy soon after arriv
al and has extended it so widely now
that he cxH-cts the island shortly to be
productive and progressive, something
it never was before. He reports that
his great difficulty is want of officers
to superintend the various work being
carried on. Marines and sailors, he
finds, are not reiiuired so much -as offi
cers of executive abHily who will sve
that the orders and proclamations are
enforced and the natives made to re
spect law and order. lie res.rls that
they are amenable to discipline and
give trouble, but their chief character
istic is laziness and immorality. Mar
riages si'cni to be unknown to the
islanders anil a great deal of illegiti
macy! abounds in. consequence. The
Governor has stopped the free living of
men and women, ami provide- that all
couples must secure marriage licenses
and he wedded by the civil authorities.
All persons were privileged to secure
these licenses fne until November 3.
This was an ini'incdiatc rush when the
order was iiiadc. anil a large number
of ceremonies were M'rforined within
the first week. Great difficulty is found
in securing labor for the buildings be
ing erected and other impmrenncuts go
ing on under government direction. The
food supply has mlso been scarce for
the natives on account of their lack of
thrift and failure to plant. By one
order issued it. is provided that every
nwiu shall own nt least 12 hens and 1
sow. and if he has not go them, to
work until he is cnnbled to purchase
them from his ncighlsirs. In another
long order issued attention is directed
to the general practice prevailing mining
the natives f living without being
bound by the wedding ceremony. He
commands wedlock at once. Another
order requires all natives to plant vege
tables and other .fruits of the ground
that grow in the islands and to be
come industrious and thrifty. If Cap
tain O'Leary keeps up his reform policy
Guam will soon become a model coun
try, economically managed, prosjierous
and productive. If 'additional officers
can be spared they will lie sent to Guam,
but it is doubtful if the department
has any now available for that duty.
