A: liONITZ. : : Proprietor, MONDAY, - - DECEMBER 20, 1886 M. Goblet (Goblag) has formed a new cabinet fcr Franco, which is re garded as unfriendly by Germans. Tin: SmitLfield Uerahl of last week has an able and well-timed editorial in defence of unjust criticism of eer tain papers, upon President Cleve land's administration. The Herald well says that if disaster should follow the Democracy in 18SS, in this State, such unnt criticism from papers pro fessing to be Democratic will be to blame for it. The Baltimore case of Burking was peculiarly atrocious. Men who had sat at the same table and lived m the same house cruelly beat out the brains of a poor old creature that they might sell her body to the medical college, of which one of the accessories was janitor. The price expected was only $15. Some of the forms of murder are exceedingly revolting. If these fiends do not swing, there is nouse to punish any offenders whatever. Should Austria press the Prince of Saxe Colony and Russia the Prince of Mingrelia, the one an Austrian and the other a Russian subject, for the petty throne of Bulgaria, there would be of course no chance for agreement. But it is probable that Austria is pre pared to accept the late Batterberg Prince, the valient Alexander, whom the Bulgarians so enthusiastically de sire to recall. This is England's cue. The Gordian knot may thus be cut, which would bring them war in the spring time, gentle Annie. John Baker, the man who beat Morrison for the Fiftieth Congress, assulted a St. Louis reporter, and was fined $5 and costs. The mag nanimous reporter refused to appear against him. But a warrant upon information . of the city marshal fetched a plea of guilty, and the fine was also entered. John is thus seen to be some pumpkins in a personal as well as political fracas. He should holdup on the press, otherwise some reporter with no magnanimity in his soul will appear and get him fined heavily. Congressman Reid's seat in "Wash ington is vacant. While there last week we learned that Mr. Reid has not been seen there for several weeks. His whereabouts is not known. His mill is called for at the House post office by his brother. He has been in the city since the session began. His colleagues express sorrow for his mis fortunes, and his financial embarrass ment is said to have grown originally out of his having assumed his father's debts, and also debts of a brother. It is thought that he absents himself purposely until his troubles can be adjusted. Monsignor Cafel, who is at pres ent in San Francisco, has issued a statement regarding certain articles published respecting him in the East ern States and England. He declares that, assisted by a representative of a New York paper, he has traced the slanderous stories concerning him self in the eastern press to the editor of the Argonaut of San Francisco, and to a distinguished attorney who was the opposing counsel of the lady re ferred to. Mr. Valensin, the lady's husband, declares that he never circu lated any story reflecting upon his wife, and the monsignor declares that he will prosecute both the California and eastern papers for malicious libel. ' It begins to look now that Ex Gov. Jarvis will be called to the helm of State again by our people, as Gov ernor, and the Messenger heartily seconds the proposition. In this con nection we quote from the Wilming ton Star the following: "We met a legal gentleman of considerable polit ical shrewdness while absent. We asked "Who will be tlfe next candi date for Governor!" The reply was prompt and emphatic "Jarvis. He has already been spoken to to save the State?"' There is food for reflec tion just "here. Another gentleman who was a delegate to Chicago said to us "Jarvis will not begin to do, and he is mightily overrated." A lead ing Granville lawyer said"He can make a more effective popular speech than Vance, or than Abram Venable. Kerr or any of the old ones." We replied "Jarvis makes a good speech, when he discusses North Carolina matters, but his field is limited." JULIUS A. BONITZ. THE POLITICAL WHIRLIGIG. The study of the. official r.ote; for 188p of several important States;'the Nevv York "fctar say's, must be inter: estingf to Presidential aspirants, J'and to those who indulge in the luxury of making Presidents. The official Vote of Iowa shows Re publican majorities for the State ticket ranging only from 14,342 to 1G,001, and that after an active and earnest contest, instead of the 40,000 or more of off years, and more than fiO.000 in important years of the 7 t past. Massachusetts that was once good for 70,000 Republican majority on a full vote, is now regarded as debata ble, and 12,000 is welcomed as a good majority, while the Siatehas elected two Democratic Governors in square battles within thelast dozen years. Michigan, once an overwhelming Republican State, is now close and doubtful, and the last retiring Gov ernor was a Democrat. Oregon, California and Colorado, all strong Republican States in 1880 and 1884, elected Democratic Gov ernors this year, and New Hampshire failed to elect a Republican Governor by the people. On the other side, Indiana, a deba table State that voted for Tilden and Cleveland, elected the Republican State ticket this year by some 3,000 majority, and the Legislature is saved to the Democrats after a fashion, only by a legislative gerrymander. Virginia, that elected a Democratic Governor in 1885 by thousands, and that voted largely for Cleveland in 1884, sends the first Republican dele gation to Congress that has eyer been elected from the South by a vote of the whole people, and gives over 15,000 Republican majority on the Congressional vote. North Carolina, one of the leliable Democratic" States of the South since the overthrow of the carpet-baggers, was mastered by the Independents this year in the election of the Legis lature, and it is now as debatable as Michigan. Such is the track of the political whirligig of the last few years, and it is a sober lesson for political leaders of all parties. The one thing it teaches with emphasis is that the people are more and more inclined to do their own voting, ana mac parties ana leaders can no longer command re sults. BLAINE AND AN ELDER SOUTH-HATER. Blaine is bizarre, bold, brazen and blathersome, bat he is not original. All of his protection nonsense has been much better formulated by the grand leaders in the past of the Whig and Federal parties. Hamilton. Clay, Choate, Webster, and many others, not so well-know to this generation, could have far eclipsed him in argu ments if they had survived to our own times. Blaine is smart, but shallow, hollow and a pretender on the economic subjects with which he so often plays at statesman. His speeches to arous9 the Northern work ingmen were echoes of what old Bur gess, of Rhode Island, said in 1832 '33 in the great debates on the ques tions of Union and Tariff. Burgess said that the slave-owners at the South who clamored for a reduction of high tariff then existing it was just before the passage of Clay's com promise bill were "little tyrants," and he endeavored to excite a hostil ity on the part of the people of the Northern States against the South. Some of his language was more ven omous than it is possible for the son of Maine to attain to, and that is cer tainly saying a great deal. NAMES OF STATES AND PLACES. They should have named our State Manteo, after the Indian friend of the Raleigh colony on Roanoke Is land, or given it some other of the many beautiful native names. Caro linawhether after Charles IX, of France, or after Charles II, of Eng laud, is an unworthy name for so goodly a land of liberty and morality; as New York, perpetuating the infa mous Duke of York, afterward James II, is far iuferior to some of the origi nal designations which might just as well have been bestowed. The whole land is covered with old English, French, Dutch, Swedish and other European nomenclature, when the beautiful Algonquin, Cherokee and Docatah languages supply us with proper names that are strictly Ameri can. But, perhaps, in nothing are people more varied than in original ity in naming persons or places. An English despot or a French murderer is preferred to a friendly or valient son of the forest. We go on perpet uating the old world in things we might leaye behind. A contemporary, in discussing the question of pure-water supply, says : "Savannah is finding no difficulty at all in procuring pure Artesian water. Her latest big well flows 800,000 gal lons daily, and was only probed 332 feet. From two . wells adjacent to each other there is a flow of water of 1,000,000 gallons in twenty-four hours. Four more wells may suffice to supply the whole city." The Artesian well alone can solve the problem of pure a' rwii water supply jor cities, me sooner the authorities of those cities whose water supply is drawn from rivers liable to contamination recognize this fact the better. THE GOLDSBORO tMESSENGERi tMONDEQEMBEiv8 CONSTITUTIONS TO "ORDER. There was a report telegraphed from Berlin that the Czar had granted a constitution to his subjects. It is an absurd minor. 1. Because Czars are not given to doing these things, 2. Because if they were, the con stitutions would amount to nothing. A constitution is the frame of gov ernment of a few people. The Rus sians are the slaves of an autocracy. They know nothing of freedom either practically or theoretically. When they have gone through two or three centuries of progress; when (first) they have sloughed off the bureau cratic element; when (second) they have limited the sovereign's power over life and limb and property; when (third) they have educated the masses in the rudiments of knowl edge, learned to value human liberty in some small degree, tolerated differ ences of opinion and freedom of wor ship, and when to sum it all up they have advanced as far in the general civilization of the whole people as England in the 17th century, they make talk of a constitution. Bat then it will not be the Czar who will grant, it will be the people who will exact constitution. INTER-STATE COMMERCE- VIEWS OP RAILROAD MEN. A paper whose representative has interviewed the president and general managers of the various roads in Chi cago says that they widely differ in their opinions regarding the new inter state commerce bill agreed upon by the Senate and House conference com mittees. The eastern managers are outspoken in their opposition to the new law, and declare that its adoption will bring utter ruin upon the railroad interests in the country. They claim that the existing railroad pools are the simplest and most practical means by which unjust discrimination can be prevented. If the proposition to make the charge for the short haul the same as the long prevails, it will rev olutionize the traffic of the country, as it would stop the competition be tween the railroads and the water ways. The shorter lines would obtain the business and have the effect of in creasing through rates. They think that the only thing required to solve the railroad problem is to pass a law legalizing the railway pools and en force a maintenance of the tariffs established by the pools. The western managers are more conservative in their views and are inclined to look more favorably upon the proposed leg islation, thinking that a fair and rea sonable interstate law will prevent more onerous state legislation. The only unqualified exception they take to the proposed law is the provision making the charge per mile for short hauls the same as for the long. Thev think the adoption of this provision of the proposed bill would inflict great injury upon all lines, as it would en able waterways to monopolize the business. They think if Congress would leave out this provision and give the rest of the conference bill a fair trial, it might result in doing away with most of the evils now complained of, and enable the railroads to main tain fair and reasonable rates and avoid the necessity of maintaining pools and effecting combinations for mutual protection. THE INDIANA CASE. In the case of the Lieutenant Governor, Judges Ayres delivered a decision adverse to Acting Lieuten ant Governor Smith. He brought in junction proceedings to prevent the Secretary of State from delivering to the Speaker of the House the ballots recently cast for Lieutenant-Governor, which elected Robertson, Republican. The decision is upon the demurrer to the complaint, which alleges want of jurisdiction and insufficiency of facts. The court does not attempt to pass upon all the law questions. He says : "The record which most strongly presents itself to my mind is that a court of equity will not in an injunc tion proceeding try to determine a question which involves the right or title to an office. The decisions on this question are numerous and uni form, and I don't understand that the counsel for the plaintiff denies this proposition. But they claim that this is not a proceeding to try or deter mine the title to an office. The main question, which was arguedby emi nent counsel with such learning and ability, whether a Lieutenant-Governor could legally be elected at the last election. I have given considera tion, but viewing this case as I do, it is one in which that question cannot properly be determined, and I have thought best to express no opinion thereon. The demurrer must stand." An appeal will be taken by Smith to the Supreme Court. Should the decision be affirmed, Mr Smith will still have a recourse in regular con test proceedings before the Legisla ture, a committee of seven from each House being appointed to try the con test, as is provided in the statute of 1881. It is probable, however, that the contest will be carried no further than the Supreme Court. At a con ference of leading Democrats several weeks ago it was agreed that the party cou7d not afford to make a fight over the Lieutenant-Governorship as a political measure, but that the best thing to be done was to try to get a decision on the merits of the case from the courts prior to the meeting of the General Assembly . Fiom the beginning it has seemed to the Messenger that Smith had a thin case. x Bui then we saw that the Republicans were going to use their advantage meaniully, and we felt that if the law would give the Demo crats a showing at all in heading off their adversaries; it should be availed of. '. Henry George has begun a new crusage in the interests of labor. He said in ah. interview the other day that he had ascertained, on seemingly good authority, that Armour & Co., of Chicago, were paying the $48 license for selling oleomargarine for hundreds of dealers in New England on condi tion that said dealers buy only of them. As the tax amounts to practi cal prohibition, so far as small dealers are concerned, it enables large dealers to establish monopolies in the above described way. This he considered a gigantic abuse, and should expose and denounce the state of affairs in his future speeches. Petitions asking Congress to repeal the tax are now being circulated and quite "extensively sigoed. The bill introduced by Senator Mc Pherson to authorize the reduction of United States bonds and of the circu lation of the national banks provides that all national banks having a capi tal of $150,000 or less shall not be re quired to keep on deposit United States bonds in excess of one-eighth of their capital stock as security for their circulating notes, and that all such banks having a capital of $150, 000 or more shall not be required to keep on deposit as security lor their circulating notes United States bonds in excess of $25,000, and banks hav ing on deposit bonds in excess of the.' e amounts are authorized to reduce their circulation; provided, that the amount of such circulating notes shall not exceed in any case 100 per cent, of the par value of the bonds de posited, as provided in the bill. 0UK WASHINGTON LETTER THE TARIFF SITUATION. Bills Introduced by North Caro linians A Name that Wouldn't Hold Against Public Conscience. Staff Correspondence of the Messenger. Washington. December 14. Mr. Morrison gave notice this afternoon that on Saturday he would move to go into committee of the whole on the State of the Union for the purpose of considering revenue measures. This means that he will attempt to secure consideration for his tariff bill. It is understood that the situation is better than it has been for several years. Some of Mr. Randall's followers, Veile of New York, Geddes and an other member from Ohio, and several other Representatives have signified their intention to reverse their record and vote to bring up the bill. A con ference of the Randall men, called for last night, was postponed until to night, to assemble at the residence of Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey. Ran dall himself is sad to occupy his old position, but it is believed that the Randall Democrats are not going to interpose any obstacle to the consid eration of the tariff bill this time. They hope, with the aid of the Repub licans, and some Southern Democrats, to tack on an internal revenue amend ment, and their expectation is reason able. An intelligent Republican tells me this evening that his party will go for a repeal of the tobacco tax and for freeing spirits used in the industrial arts. Yesterday Mr. Morrill, of Vermont. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, offered a resolution in structing the committee to examine as to the expediency of some practical measure for the maintenance ofthe national bank system with ample se curity, and without additional cost to the Government. Among the bills of public interest introduced yesterday in the House was one by Col. Oates, of Alabama, to prohibit the appointment of Con gressional committees to attend fune rals, and to prohibit the draping of public buildings -except by order of the President. Gen. Cox secured the passage yes terday of Senator Vance's joint reso lution, which passed the Senate last session, and the purport of which is to have copied for the State of North Carolina the Executive letter-book of Gov. Vance during the war, and now on file in the War Department. Gen. Cox introduced a bill to repeal the tax on tobacco, and for other pur poses. He also introduced a bill fixing the salary of the Civil Service Commissioners at $5,000. He also in troduced a bill granting a pension to Frank Thronton, late of Co. H, 40th United States Infantry. (The same bill was introduced to-day in the Sen ate by Senator Ransom,) Mr. Johnston introduced a bill for the relief of Mrs. Julia A. Sluder, ex ecutrix of E. Sluder, deceased. For two days the President has been sunding in large batches of recess nominations. There was a report in the afternoon, not verified, that Reg ister of Wills Dorsey Claggett, a Dis trict white Democrat, was to be ap pointed Register of Deeds for the Dis trict of Columbia in place of Mathews, colored. It is not believed that Math ews can be confirmed. The Senate spent the day chiefly on the bill repealing the Tenure of Office Act, the House on the Sundry Civil Appropriation revenue. In his tariff speech yesterday, Sen ator McPherson, of New Jersey, Dem ocrat, advocated the retention of the duties on sugar, the abolition of which is favored by the Republicans, but favored the removal of the salt duty, and of the duties on iron ore, coal and coarser qualities of wool. On motion of Mr. Hoar the House amendments to the electoral count bill were non-copcurred in to day, and a conference asked. Senators Hoar, Edmunds and Pngh were ap pointed conferees on the part of the Senate. Mr. Harrison to-day introduced in the Senate a bill ta increase the pen sion of nil persons on the pension rolls now receiving $24 per month, or who may hereafter be pensioned for disa bility equivalent to loss of a hand or foot, to $30 per month, and also to in- reiLCA tn ifiSfi rer month the pension for disability that incapacitates the pensioner for the performance of any manual labor, but it is not such as to require regular aid and attendance. Mr. Morrill, from the finance com mittee, reported to the Senate to-day a bill for the retirement and recoinage of the trade dollar. It provides that until July 1st, 1887, trade dollars, not defaced, mutilated or stamped, shall be received by the United States Treasurer, or any assistant treasurer m exchange for standard silver dol lars; trade dollars thus received are to be coined bv the United States mints into standard silver dollars, and the amount so received to be deducted from the regular bullion purchase for the coinage of standard dollars, pro vided it shall not exceed $500,000 in any one month. The Brule river land grant forfeit ure bill which passed the House Sat urday it is thought will go through the Senate w?L '.delay. It was the first of the foneiture bills introduced iuto Congress, and led the way for all the rest. When it was introduced during the Forty-sixth Congress by Mr. Payson it was severely denounced, and every charge made against the railroad company was promptly de nied by some of the strongest men in both Houses. It passed Saturday without a vote against it. The mem bers of the House publi? lands com mittee are proud of the work they have done during the Forty-eighth and the present Congress. Nearly fifty-one million acres of Jand have been forfeited. In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Butler presented the following letter, which was referred to the finance commit tee : "Charleston, S. C, Dec. 7, 18S6. Hon. M. '. Butler-. Esteemed Sir : Please extend our heartfelt gratitude to the President for his kind consideration of ihe poor dep s'tcrs of Freedman's Sivirgs bank by remembering them in his message to Congress, and to you, your colleague and our other repre sentatives in Couerress. We have an abiding fai'li that you will co-operate in our behalf. May God keep, bless and direct you all is the prayer of many depositors of the Charleston branch. E. Johnston Baird." Public Printer Benedict is giving pretty general satisfaction. Although he has 2,500 more requisitions for printing than were made at the same time of the last fiscal year, and he has reduced the force by 500, he is fast catching up with the work, some of which is very tedious. But there is complaint in some quarters that his Republican foreman of printing, Bryan, prevents Democrats from securing promotion, while he is ever ready to advance his party pets. Mrs. Page's counsel comprise the following gentlemen : Hon. Jesse J. Yeates, Col. R. Christie and Major Robert D. Graham. The latter, who was a particular friend of Col. Mc Leod Turner, brother of Mrs. Page, will probably not make a speech at the trial. Mr. Iredell Meares, Assistant Col lector of Customs at Wilmington, was in the city yesterday for a few dyas, en passant to the North. Lieutenant-Governor Stedman and Col. A. B. Andiews arrived here Sun day. Gov. Stedman left for home to night. Mr. J. W. Powell, of' Clinton, clerk of Col. Green's Committee, that of Legislationland Acoustics, has arrived in the city. Ihe Portonice Department, at the instance of citizens of that town to day changed the name of Mayonia back to Whitaker's. It was done be cause the chartered name and the name of the express office and rail road depot was Whitaker's, and the difference produced confusion.
