Fowle has agreed to an exchange of Courts between Judges Armfield and Connor and the latter will preside at the Best term of Pitt Superior Railroad Commission We suppose the matter ends for the years at least. On last Thursday the Railroad Commission bill came up for its second reading in the Senate and was defeated by a vote of to A week or two ago the bill passed the House, but it was believed the measure would be killed when it reached the Senate. The establishment of a Commission was a question upon which there was a great diversion of opinion, the being nearly evenly ed. Early in the session of the General Assembly the pointed to a Commission out when the bill was introduced i he many objectionable features it contained caused the to strengthen. It is the opinion of the that it was a delicate piece of Some relief against freight discrimination was wanted, but how to get this with equal just- ice to all concerned was the point. The bill as intro- and them wit limit op- position. The truth is that many people are getting tired of being taxed for school purposes under ex- conditions, and that feeling will continue to grow until some is made in law by w Inch this tax burden will be more equal borne by the two races in North Carolina. The bill in regard to Governor's Mansion failed to pass in the House, and the Senate an amendment as a substitute for the bill which is even worse than no action at all. Some members no doubt opposed completion of the Mansion because they such a course to be popular. This is a cheap reputation, if any at all. and, in opinion this writer, does not deserve any commendation whatever. Carter, tone of the men of the State and the ablest member in the House, to the bill and made some patriotic in favor of completing the building. He said he would lather it would re- main where it is in its unfinished and crumble to the earth than see the property sold at to the highest bidder. He said it would be a disgrace to the State to sell it and a reflection the wisdom Democratic party. took the same view of the question. The opposition, however, was numerical stronger and the bill was defeats ed. Senate substitute provides that the Mansion be sold to the Dist.

If it did not meet the ends aimed at there was no need of adopting it, with ex- it would have incurred, just for experiment. If the Commission would have had over only a few of the railroads, as is claimed, with no authority over those whose char- were granted years ago, it were a useless establishment. Of course the discriminations in freights and traffic should be remedied, but whether appoint- a commission that would cost the State many thousands of dollars and have authority the are presided at a previous term not prepared to say. our court. On Monday the of these United States Changed hands The term of Grover Cleveland President expired and Benjamin Harrison was inaugurated. Cleveland has Blade a great President. His administration has been above reproach, and under his rule millions of dollars have been saved. What his successor will do remains to be seen, but we hope he will make a good dent. It is best to be well educated on a point and see ends will justify means before going into legislation that might result otherwise than was expected.

Senator White spoke length and said that he honestly de- i sired to do what was best for his people, therefore with the lights I before him he should be compelled i to vote the Commission.
