"in its effort to priove that the result
was not an anti-rjemocratie victory."

MISS FOH-Y'tS PA.
Miss Forney, of Kansas, has a pa wh

Legislature of that State, and she has
been giving her ojd man away to som

it. We drove to (thurch one night, and
a freight train blot-kaded a crossing and
kept us there tenty minutes. Next
day pa introduced a bill to prevent
trains from obstructing a crossing more
than five minutes. That night some
body stole all our chickens. Then pa
wrote a chicken bi!'. Rut it doesn't

Pa doesn't like ducks Whenever he sits
down to write arbill. we know some
thing has happened to him."
This throws a very interesting side
light upon legislation in Kansas It it
to be wondered if in any other State it
Is governed by the individual whims of
legislators. But what ought to be done
with the blooming newspaper man who
has given Miss Forney away?
. The letter of Presi.lent Latta. of the

gratifies us beyond expression. His
sensibility of the friendliness of the pa

keenly appreciated. We were dead right

It respectfully declines to take leader

obedient servant and auxiliary of all
those progressive people who mean

More or less Importance attaches to
the fact that t3ie Governor of North
Carolina Is handing out appointments
to people in Newbern. as councilrnen
for that town, without any reference
to whether or not the people of that
town desire to be ruled over by these
appointees. The Governor is proceed
ing under act of the last Legislature,
which undertook to give him. instead
of the people, the government of the
towns. Litigation has resulted in Wil
mington from this legislation, and now
It Is up In NeWbern. Now. as always,
we hope the people will win. Govern
ment by them is to be preferred to gov

or by State Treasurers.
Publication has been made of the fact
that Gen. James Longst reet. of Georgia,
Is to succeed Gen. Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina as United States rail
road commissioner. That is all right.
Haroptpn. a Democrat, was a brave
Confederate general: Longstreet, a Re

Longstreet's In. Let Hampton give
place to Longstreet. Both are in "the
lean and slirjpered pantaloon;" and
there is nothing to the Job under oon

cussion, in this morning's paper, of the
recent Charlotte city bonds decision by
the Supreme Court. It did not turn up
on the point first understood, but quite
Another, and Mr. Tillett pronounces the
decision "staiuing." It appaars that
the bonds themselves are not Invalidat
ed, toot that there is no power under
the act to levy a tax for the payment
of the Interest on them, and that this
decision, applying to this case, applies
to a great many others. Mr. Tilletfs
irrlcw of thi opinion is of the utmost
Jmp rtanc.

What seems to the Observer to be a
highly commendable enterprise Is one
undertaken by the Southern Lyceum
Association. It is to have in a chain of
Southern cities local lyceume organised
for the purpose of securing- the best lec
turers on the American and English
stage at a nominal price. This Is done
by means of a membership fee, say of
Jo annually, which entitles the member
to two tickets of admission to every
lecture, ffhe larger the membership
the more lecturers can be secured dur
ing a year. The enterprise is purely
philanthropical. and undertaken out of
a desire to bring the best thought of
the country within reach of the most
people for their Instruction, entertain
ment and culture. The president of the
association is Henry Watterson; vice
president, John B. Gordon; secretary
and treasurer, Hugh C. Middleton. of
Augusta, Ga.; advisory board: Henry
Watterson, Louisville, Ky. : J. L. M.
Curry, Washington, D. C; C. B. Gallo

gusta, Ga.; Sam P. Jones, Cartersville.
Ga.; William Preston Johnston, New
Orleans, La.; A. H. Belo, Dallas, Tex.;
FrankL. Stanton. Atlanta, Ga.; Hugh
C. Middleton. Augusta, Ga,
It is intended that the association
shall embrace the following Southern
cities:
Richmond, Norfolk, Lynchburg. Ral
eigh, Wilmington, Charlotte. Augusta
(organized). Savannah, Macon. Colum
bus, Atlanta (organized), Jacksonville,
Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile.
Louisville, Lexington, Chattanooga,
Knoxville, Nashville. Little Rock, Hot
Springs, Meridian, Vicksburg. Baton
Rouge. New Orleans, Galveston, Hous
ton, Dallas, Fort Worth. Waco. Aus
tin, and San Antonio.
It is the Intention that they shall all
be organized by the 1st of December.
The Augusta Chronicle says in an edi
torial upon this subject:
This large Southern wor arises from
the phenomenal practical success of the
v. ork at Augusta and Atlanta for the
past three and four years. Augusta's
lyceum was organized four years ago
and now the people hear from twelve
to fifteen of the leading men of the
times at a cost of only 16 2-3 cents ad
mission. Next year the membership
will increase to give an audience of
about 1.000 when the cost will come
down to about 12 cents. The educa
tional effect upon the community has
been incalculable. During this time
the people have heard a targe number
of such men as Russell Ccnwell, Lyman
Abbott, Richard Malcolm Johnston.
George Kennan. Hopkinson Smith, Max
O'Reil, Thomas Nelson Page, Henry
Watterson, James Lane Allen. George
P.. Wendling, Robert J. Burdette. Dr.
George C. Lorrimer, Murat Halstead.
etc.. etc.. etc.. etc.
The Augusta Herald says:
The annuul fee of a lyceum should be
S. to cover all cost whatever of a
year's entertainment. The larger the
membership fee the larger the fund, the
larger the fund, the greater the number
f entertainments, and the less their
average cost to every member. The
Augusta Lyceum, established in 1893,
has 375 members (750 attendance), and
gave in the season of '-'97. 18 enter
tainments, at an average cost of 16 2-3
cents each (32 admissions for to). Next
year the Augusta Lyceum will have 50C
members, and will doubtless go to 700
or SoO members within three years. The
Atlanta Lyceum started in 1896 with 327
mem tiers, and gave a course averaging
!S cents admission, and has $250 left in
the treasury from pubic admissions,
to strengthen next year's courses. The
Atlanta Lyceum will dojbtless run to
l.OOO members.
Kvery lyceum is under entirely local
management.
If the South should be thoroughly or
ganized by having lyceums in all of
:he above named cities, tne greatest lec
turers of the day would come into this
-ection, whereas otherwise, it would not
pay them to come, it is even difficult
for Atlanta sometimes to get the best
talent, because, it is too long a jump
for a lecturer from, say, Washington to
Atlanta, and from there oack to Wash
ington or to some other equally distant
point.
The Observer hopes tr see Charlotte
have a lyceum before tie 1st of next
December. Its columns are open to
any one who may wish to promote and
further this end.
In an interesting write-up of the latf
Representative Hnlman. of Indiana, ir
the Washington Post, the following
passage occurs:
Senator Turpie said, a few days be
fore Mr. Holmar.'s death "He owns tb
old homestead yet and perhaps not
much more." TI.cn the Senator added
thoughtfully, nnd almost reverently:
After more than thirty years o public
service he retires as well off as wher
he entered Congress."
This is remarked upon as "a most el
oquent though simple tribute to the
honesty of Mr. Holman "
Maybe. And yet you can't alv.ayr
tell about these things There is a
North Carolinian who nas seen some
twenty-five years of public service and
the charge against him is that he won't
and can't pay his debts. It is passed
to his discredit that he is poor; Judge
Holman is praised, above, for having
died poor: and Grover Cleveland and
John Sherman are abused because, it is
said, they are rich.
How is all this thing, anyhow?

Treaty.

London, May 8. The war occupies all
attention and war topics are of interest.
The powers are now anxious that hos
tilies should end. Turkey, however,
does not seem disposed to arrest her
army in the midst of its triumph. The
war party at the Tildes Kiosk is very
strong and wishes the cmoplete humili
ation of Greece. It is urging the Sultan
not to stop his troops until Ed hem
Pasha is quartered at Athens. The
Turkish government has concluded a
loan with the Lighthouse administra
tion for 500,600 pounds, at 9 per cent.
Part of this money will be devoted to
war purposes. The impression now pre
vails that an armistice will soon be ar
ranged. King George has asked the
powers to mediate, and it is expected that
the Greek government will follow im
mediately with a request for mediation.
Greece will have to yield in regard to
the evacuation of Crete. Germany
strongly Insists on this point, consider
ing intervention to be utterly useless
while Greek troops remain in Crete.
France. Great Britain and Italy are dis
posed to be more lenient, but Germany
will carry the point. Greece, as a mat
ter of course, should pay Turkey's war
expenses, but it is doubtful if Greece
will be able to pay a cent. The Sultan
wishes to keep Thessaly in pawn until
the money is paid or Europe guarantees
the payment of the indemnity.
The powers are exerting their influ
ence to maintain King George upon
the throne of Greece, and it is stated
that the Russian minister at Athens,
M. Onou. has stated to M. Ralll that if
Greece remains loyal to her royal fami
ly the powers will do their utmost to
lessen the full burden of war; but
should Greece bring a catastrophe upon
the royal house, the powers will unre
lentingly let things take their course
From another quarter it is learned that
at St. Petersburg they already recko
upon the probability of the royal fam
ly leaving Athens, and that Queen Olg
is to go to her mother, the Grand Duch
ess Josephoyna. of Russia.
The rejection of the arbitration treat
by the United States Senate has bee
received here with much disappoint
ment, and many hard things are bein
said about American politicians.
The disastrous fire on Tuesday last
at the Paris Charity Bazaar, gave Em
peror William, of Germany, another op

Mr. J. P. Caldwell, Editor.
Dear Sir: I notice with great interest
and equal surprise your editorials in
this morning's Observer.
I am gratified, and thank you for
your presentation of facts as they exist.
relative to tne park question, for at the
time you made a bold advocacy, believ
ing that the city should possess itself
ox a park as a pleasure as well as a
profitable measure, the first because ail
growing cities find it necessary for the
khealth and recreation of its people to
I nave a resting place, and secondly
the time to acquire property of this
kind is before demands for residence
purposes render it impracticable if
not impossible to obtain the most de
slrabie quarters: and the pendulum of
time will account you a prophet in your
day and generation.
Mr. VanLandingham first approached
me upon this subject, while-connected
with your paper, and made three sev
eral requests for me to make a price
upon and offer the park for sale to the
city; but not until you called in person
and formally requested an interview,
did I resolve to offer the park to the
city, and in turn it was apparently re.
Jeeted and the question as far as we are
concerned forever settled.
It is not my expectation or intention
at any time in the future to offer this
property to the city, and should every
man, woman and child in Charlotte pe
tition for the purchase of the park, it
could not be bought at any price or
upon any conditions during the term of
office of Mr. E. B. Springs.
His administration must and shall be
unfettered by any semblence of inter
est in behalf of my company.
He is mayor of Charlotte and I per
sonally believe that our city has hon
ored herself by calling this capable.
estimable, princely gentleman to the
chair of responlbility, in the manage
ment of her affairs, at a very critical
moment in her history, and certainly
no one within her borders has more
at stake in her destiny than this pub
lic spirited man. who has invested bis
money In almost every enterprise and
industry that affords employment to
her artisans, thereby giving impulse
to every channel and artery of trade.
I stand opposed to every obstruction
to Charlotte's progress and I hope that
with one accord the people will rise and
?ive their united suppoit to this admin
stration which, as a body collectively,
s a congregation of broad guage,
.vorthy, representative business men.
With one single purpose in view, work
ing in concert as a people, we can ac
complish much, and taking the initia
tive I am resolved to do my utmost to
urther the onward march of Charlotte,
for It is only in her success and uHH
nate greatness that Dilworth. her sUbr
urban annex, can exviect to prosper
mly through the agency of her outflow
.an we ask or hope to become of im
portance. Our interests are insepara
bly one. and my purest aspiration is to
make Dilworth the pride of Charlotte.
And now, touching your reference to
my proposed policy of improving Trade
street's advantages: I am so confident
f your honesty of purpose and your
sincere desire kfor the whole people's
oncern and benefit, that I will state
:hat it is my intention to maintain th
"w cars on Trade' street until October
1st. no matter what may lie the result
f the test. I feel that the convenience
jf the ieople must be regarded, when
'he loss is not too great to ourselves.
It will, of course, gratiiy me should
we receive a reciprocal response from
hose living along the line.
Thanking you for your unexpected
ntervention. which allows me the op
portunity of settling a mooted quest ion.

A national campaign is an affair too
big for the man with a spite against
his neighbor to use for his spiteful
ends. A single citizen is a factor too
little to control a thing so vast as an
available medium through which to
squirt his hate across the street and
into the front door of the opposite
home. Even a State campaign is too
imponderable to be skilfully handled as
a menace, a provocative of fussiness In
a small town-neighborhood. But a town
campaign is a fuss-devil.
A town campaign provides the choic
est means by which that citizen. rdi
narily under restraint, may break loose
and flop into a front seat, right next to
the brass band and pat a foot in uni
son with the lead horn, and also act as
Jockey for the orator of the occasion by
whipping him up and spurring him on
with such Injunctions as "go it. old
boy," or by calling for an administration
cf a Justice, presumably to be deferred
until t,he close of the final scene of this
worlds when vociferating a demand to
"give jpim hell and rub It in."
In the old times there were no town
campaigns in North Carolina. Then the
mayor of a Tar Heel t..wn was paid
about $25 a year, and he 1:, ' t act as
judge, tax collector, policeman and to
curry the mule that pulled the garbage
cart. He was. also, expected to keep
the hogs from rooting the sidewalks
away, and to pass the first lick and
draw the first blood in court if the de
fendant made any remarks reflecting
offensively on the correctness of Ms
Judicial deliverance.
In those days the citizens or tne town,
living in the ambuscade of obscurity.
without the aid of a town campaign to
verk him from under the whelm of
privacy and fetch him to the conspicu
ousness of the : ront. had to repress
himself and wait for an opportunity to
demonstrate, as a Big Ike expanded
into a Large Isaac, until the circus
came. Then, the repressea citizen, un
der the circus tent, and on the top row
of the circular tier of seats, became an
interestingly audible, though Irregular
&ih. unprofessional, feature of the ex.
hrbiftotfT. From his perch, above the
Selecratjd critical audience, he was
fluent acd pungent in interlarding the

the averted eyes of the female auditors
to the accentuated brevity of the gown
of the maidenly bareback rider, even
while that scheme of economic attire
was already quietly but satisfactorily
explained by the protrusion o' the
shapely and nimble lady herself below
the linen of her dainty skirt.
Thus, a local director of a strictly
rid-wide and professional affair, the
itizen, heretofore and elsewnere man

was revealed to public observation and
assumed aspects or an importance oniy

fining the limit of the ring and a hole
in the ground, as a memorial ef the
resting place of the center-jiole, to re
call a lunse of the commonly obscure
citizen into the too short publicity made
possible by the afternoon performance
of both .himself and the fleeting circus.
But the town-campaign, beginning to
smell bad two months be ore the elec
tion, and stinking worse and worse
three months after the polls are closed,
answers the widening need of the re
pressed citizen to turn himself loose
and. when loose, to remain in the mid
dle of the road, caperingly and freak
ishly, for a time impossible under the
dispensation of a circus visitation.
It is to be deplored that a commer
cinl salesman, a regulation drummer,
arriving in a town on his first visit
should find himself, before he has been
i.-signed to his stall in the tavern, in a
hot discussion about the respective
merits of the several candidates for
the single office of mayor.
But it is only at midnight, follow
