Jounnti HcaasO. I
Ralcmm. N. U., January 7.
Tbe Legislature Is swinging Into' line
ia tke redemption of campaign pledgee,
as a glance at the bills Introduced already
will show.
These Include bills for restricting the
suffrage, for separate cars for tbe races,
for repealing the "Peg Leg" Williams
bill to prevent sending negro labor out
of the Stale, for amending city charters,
for eraalng tbe name of Young, Russell's
colored Colonel, from the corner slooe
of the Blind Institution, snd many other
lo repeal booxious fuslonlst laws. Tbe
st si u lea will be white as snow of all acts
or the two last legislatures If tke thing
keeps up.
The restricting suffrage bill baa not
been disc ns ed yet of course, but will be
freely before being passed. That both
Houses are composed of business men,
accustomed to transacting business Is
shown by tbe procedings. Almost no
useless talking is done and when a mem
ber rises for a question on a proposed
bill it la generally with aa explanation
that be docs not desire to obstruct busi
ness. So far as tbe fusion members
are concerned' it Inns if they did not exist.
The House has voted to meet at 10 a m,
at tlie same hour aa the Senate.
The bill Introduced In tho House lo
repeal all the public laws passed by the
fuslonints Is regarded by many aa not so
bail, as even when tho laws are not
w Holly foolish they are in such bid
shape as to be Inoperative or cannot lie
construed. Such for example is the
election law for registration which no
iwo people are able to look at alike.
It Is proposeea lo create a new Code
Commlsslen as it is sixteen years since
tho laws have been codilied- They arc
now scattered through nine volumes of
the Acts of the General Assembly and
are difficult to ferret out.
The bill lo take James II, Young's
name from the corner alone of the Blind
Institution created some discussion in
the House, some of It humourous. The
bill lo remove tho corner stone entirely
will probably pass, for Bousball offered
an amendment placing the names of the
board which planned tbe buildings for
both while and negro blind upon the
corner stones of two buildings, lions j
liall said lhat the trustees would make
no fight against the order of the legisla
ture. McLean said he did not want the
name erased, but wanted the stone re
moved and new one put in. Moore
said, humorously, that the corner stone
with Jim Young's name had done a
world of good during the late campaign.
Caroll said he had promised the people
of Alamance that this atone should be
removed. Finally the bills, resolutions,
&c, were referred to the Cojimlttee on
Institutions for the Blind.
The three bills Introduced by Senator
Bryan to provide a pormanent system of
government in. Craven county, to fill
vacancies in office, and to regulate bond
of offices, was followed today by a bill
to Increase the number of commissioners
in Craven connty. The city charier bill
will follow the primary election on the
10th at New Bern. ,;
The Democratic Senate caucus last
night was an important one. The stand
ing committees were all named, and be
sides the caucus decided to go Into the
matter of the dismissal of the Wilsons
from the Railroad Commission. Tho
resolution calls on the Governor tor the
evidence and empowora tho 1 committee
to call upon the Wilsons to present their
case. : ' ; Tf ' ;'V '
There Is sure to be troublo between
Capt. Day and Chairman Dockery of the
penitentiary, Day says all fuslonists must
go, while Dockery says that all compe
tent offioials tegardlesa of party must
remain.' A' .
The decision of the contest . between
Paul and Deea for a seat In the House
was postponed until Wednesday, upon
request of Paul for "lime to furnish fur
ther evidence. Messrs. A. D. Vrard and
L. Glbbs appeared for Mr. Dees, and
E. Clark for Mr. Paul, , This ia the
only remaingjllouse contest .
The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad has
yielded In the contest with the city on
the tax on bonds owned by them In other
roads and will pay Into the city treasury
$515. " .. :f. - , ; .'"'";:.'
V It is reported that Capt. A. D. Cowles
has resigned as Captain In the First
North Carolina Regiment.

Ntw York, Januar; 6. Itirhard
Crokoi gave out a statement tonight In
wblck be declared It lo be his personal
opinion that tbe nation should keep and
develop all Ike new powesalons acquired
la Ike war wlUi Spaia. He also said that
ike 18 to I auction as outlined ia tlw
Chicago platform was "a decidotlly dead
issue."
'i believe la expansion," be said. "1
believe in holding whatever poaaensions
we bave gained by annexation, purchase
or war. This policy la not only patriotic,
but It Is tbe only safe one lo pursue.
Any olber policy would show weaknr-s
on tke psrt of the United Slates and lu
vile foreign complications. This mii.t
be avoided, hence our poller must he
vigorous. Every patriotic American,
and every Democrat In particular, should
favor expansion.
We bsve a population of eighty mil
lions of people; the country leeinn willi
young men full of life, hope and aiulil
lion. Why not give these young men i
chance to develop our newly acquired
possessions and build up a country rival
ing in grandeur and patriotism our own
United Stales.
"I think the 10 lo 1 question as out
lined in the Chicago platform a decided
ly dead issue This was fully demon
si rated In the last election. We did not
embody the 10 to 1 question In out plat
form, and iho result la that we elected
every ore of our Congressmen.
These arc dangerous limes for the
health. Croup, colds and throat troubles
loud rapidly lo Consumption. A bottle
of One Minute Cough Cure used at the
right tiino will preserve life, health and
large amount of money. Pleasant to

WAsntNOTON, D. C, Jsn. 7. The fear
that we are goiug to have serious trouble
with the Philippine Insurgents does not
appear to bo shared by members of the
adtnlulstralioii. The cablegrams re
ceivod from Gen. (ills this week bave
not been made public, but they are
claimed to have been reassuring. A
promluent official said of the situstion
iu the, Philippines: "If we bave any
serious trouble In connection with our
assuring authority over the Islands, It
will not be with Agulnaldo and his Ig
norant followers, but with those who
are responsible for the advice which has
been given Agulnaldo by ellicious busy
bodies who are interested In trying to
get up a little war between the United
States and the Filipinos." He did not
say who were the responsible parlies,
but. In view of the general suspicion, it
would not be difficult to guess.
