WILSON, N. 0., Jai. 8th, 1891 WHO PAYS THE TAXES- A newspaper run by one of the best men in the State con tains an editorial in which the following sentence appears: . "When the property owners favor it (levying a special tax) surely noone else can object, for the matter would affect no one who does not own proper ty."' vy e desire to enter oar pro test against; such doctrine, without, however, saying one word in derogation of our brother who wrote it. The constitution of North Carolina provides how taxes shall be levied. It requires that the poll shall pay whatev tr tax is levied on 8300 valua tion of property. The man who has i othing of this worlds goods han to bear his share of the burdens of taxation.: He. has an interest a deep interestin any meas ure that proposes to levy a tax It is his duty and privilege to express himself cn any ques tion that arises just toe same as if he were worth his mil lions. .', We are sics and tired of the effort that some men who have inherited or accumulated wealth, are making to silence men who Lave only their man hood neon which to rely upon The man who rents the house of the rich man is just as vital ly interested in taxation as the owner and he has just as much rteLt to express his hono?t convictions. Lot us have no more -.of this nonsense about the lordly rights of property. We want men to speak not property. Wewant patriotism not iireod.

The Republican Senate Has been 'wrestling, with the Force Bill for several weeks and the leaders were determined to al low no other business to engage the attention of that branch of Congress until this miserable travesty on a, f air . ballot was voted down or became a law. The participants in the effort to corrupt the ballot were there- fore taken considerably by sur prise on last Monday when a few Republicans joined, with the Democrats in displacing the bill to allow the Senate to cods aider the bill providing for the free coinage of silver. The force bill is dead let us hope. That any party should attempt euch legislation is enough to consign that party to oblivion "unwept, un honored and unsung." The expenses of thd Insane Asylum at Raleigh, under Dr. Ward, has been very materially decreased. This is one of the practical results of a change in the administration of that in stitution. It is seldom a good policy to let any man run an office or institution until he loses sight of his responsibility to ,the people. Col. Fbed. A. Olds, Raleigh correspondent of the Wilming ton Messenger, says of the per- sonel of the Legislature: "Only five members of the last Senate will sit in the Senate this term. jn the House the proportion of new men is even greater. -The members appear to be a quiet lot of men and nearly all of middle age." The necessity for better edu cationai facilities for the chil dren of the State who are de pendent on the public schools for their education, must be ap parent to every patriotic citizen. Help must come -help will come through the present Legisture. The services of the State Chronicle to 'lThe Democratic party in North Carolina in the last a well as preceding-- campaign is appreciated by the people of the State. The Chron icle has been a singularly use ful newspaper since it has ex isted. The Legislature met yester day. The two things that this Legislature was elected to do were to re-elect Senator Vance and give the people a Railroad Commisslori. That they will do the bidding of the peopie there is no reason to doubt. The Advance hopes the pres ent Legis'ature will make the legai raie .or interest six per cent, Ihey can materially aid our people if they will do that Six per cent is enough interee to pay for money. What say our legislators? Legislators : Make the lega rate or. interest only six per A . m - m t - "cent. . To th Ladiss cf Wilson.

Cauu. IN THE CUSTOM HOUSE BILL NYE TELLS ABOUT NEW YORK'S GREAT ARCHITECTURAL FAUX PAS. Be Has m Talk and Takes Iaraebeon wltn Collector Erhirdt, Learns Some Thlnga About GoTernment and CItU Serriee, nd Studies a Trained Cbair. , Copyright, 1890, by Edgar W. Nye. If is reported that when J uan De Verazzano In 1524 discovered the Bay ef New York, and had been looked over rom a therapeutic ttandpoint hy Dr. Smith at quarantine, he proceeded al most at once to select a site for a cus tom house and place it in the hands of able men, several of whom are Bull at their desks in a pretty fair state of pres ervation, i The present custom house is an impos ing gray granite architectural faux pas, with a low, retreating forehead like that LUAUH1NQ WITH THE COIXECTOB. of the pickerel It is an inconvenient stone quarry with fluted columns, and, I would say, seems to be a cross between a long neglected cistern and a second hand sarcophagus. If this be treason make the most or it. I've already had an Indian outbreak this winter, and I do not mind a little set-to with the1 government, as I had funds left over after adjusting the In dian difficulty. The New York custom house is a tri umph of inconvenience, a miracle of misfits and architectural deformities. It is a sort f compromise, so far as com fort goes, between the massive, rectan gular residence of the cave dweller and the root cellar of the renaissance. There is no room in it, no elevator, no effort to be fireproof above the first floor, no light, no air, no method, no comfort and no economy. Venerable officials and employes who were there to show Henry Hudson over the building are still using the same tin cuspidors made of the inverted lid of the tin din ner pail of the past. The same sand is in them yet. Monarchies have risen, flourished and decayed, kings have been born, cut their eye teeth, reigned a few lonesome weeks and moldered back into plebeian dust. Emperors have risen, and in a few years practically dictated to the world for a time, but their dust is in the mighty brick yard of the past, and the winds of heaven are whistling through the tat tered upholstery of their vacant thrones, but the gray sand in the tin cuspidor of the custom house of the United States smiles mockingly at the swift and hungry centuries. The custom house is ornamented with a big granite porch , supported by the gov ernment and a row of massive fluted col umns as devoid of beauty as the ani mated drumstick of the antique chorus girL This porch is expensive, but with out use or beauty. In this respect it re sembles the average case of typhoid imitative Englishman. The first thing encountered in the in terior is a rotunda, which presents the bright and ever changing scenery no ticeable from the bottom of a driU welL It started out to be the arena for a cock fight, changed its mind and sought to be a dry cistern; then securing a po litical pull it proceeded to become the rotunda of the custom house, and every effort to remove it has so far proved un availing Entering the large corner room where sits the collector of the port and other dutiable beverages I found Mr. Er hardtwith his back to the fire and his face to the foe. He. comes down about 9 a. m. and works till 5 o'clock in the evening, lunch ing in his office. v By hanging around till about 1 o'clock I was invited to lunch with him. Hon. James W. Gusted sat and conversed while we ate. The artist will kindly make a rather pleasing drawing of the three scholarly gentlemen as they ap peared at the time. A man went by the door and looked cautiously in. Afterward I heard him say to another man that he understood the Sutherland sisters were lunching to gether today. They then, both of them, burst into a low, coarse laugh. ' The correspondence room is a very busy place, and hundreds of letters in tended for ;the collector's private eye are carefully opened and read by Mr. Jef fries, who came to New York in the fall of 1492, and at once went to work at his present job. I refer to this matter of correspondence because a great many people think that by marking a letter to a high official as private or personal it will be read only by him and im mediately placed under bis pillow at night. The collector can, however, have no secrets during office hours, at least through the mails and hardly viva voce. lae casnier s room interested me a good deal. It always does wherever I go. So, with the collector to vouch for me, I went through the little dingy omces ana dens where as high as a million and a half per day is handled. This money, as CoL Jones explained, is either in the form of a specially certified check or currency, and the latter is con stantly assorted into the proper denomi nations, so that at the time for over to me sut treasury at evening, quarters are in their proper parcels, duly counted, so likewise small change and large up to the ten thousand dollar bill which I held in my hand "quite a while, meantime asking CoL. Jones to notice wnat !v pecniiariy . uiottiea appearance tho suy had. - However, with a suspicion growing, dare say, out of his long and .busy con tact with sharpers and men of little principle, he watched me eagerly, I no- ticc-1, and sent an employe to the window to look at tlio peouhivrly mottled appear ance of the sky. One of the best experts oa bills and silver counterfeits la tae country, no doubt, has his littio caa ia the cashier's office. He cannot al ways explain why he uoes not like a bill or a silver piece, but be knows he does not choose any of It, and a test shows that he 13 correct. Long after I had left this department CoL Jones showed m a $30 bill, and asked me if I saw anything peculiar about it. X said no, I did not, aside from the fact that a $20 bill always did have a novel appearance to me. ''Well," said he, ''that is a counter feit. It was detected - just after you went out." . . I convinced him after a while that I did not do it, though. The bill had been dimly photographed, ana-Tmm all the work, back and front. carefully Am over with a pen. It was a pretty good looking bill. Mr. Urban detected it while a uervotu penton would be engaged In ejaculation the words jacK KODinson. Dir. urDan is one or the men who holds his office by right of eternal fitness, and nobody ever vent ures to ask him what his politics may be or used to be. It is a secret between him and high heaven. . That is the way it should be, - , j If a man could make himself absolute. ly necessary to his employer or his gov- j eminent, and then remain there at ins post instead of having to go out" for three months every year to yell for his party till the rich, ripe rum mantled to his luscious bugle, there would be a net saving to the world in 200 years that would buy some man a nice little farm. The cashier's office has a system of three checks, whereby the counter, the bookkeeper and the teller are guarding against each other's mistakes, and so ac curate is this matter that in a day's work ranging from $400,000 to $1,500,000 the footings of the three are alike to a cent. ' . -" v The certified check, in the ordinary sense of the term, does not go . at the custom house. The bank may be ever bo good; its certificate must be to the effect that so much money is on deposit to its credit at the sub-treasury, and ivhen that account is overdrawn, if only for fi ve cents, that check waits till the account is made good again. When you pay duties the fact that yoa are the president of a bank or the head of a family does not count. Ready money or the certificate of the sub-treasr ury alone goes. - - - ) In one corner of the cashier's depart ment is a headsman's block,, near it a stellated punch and a sledge hammer. When a coin is found to be worthless it is carefully laid on this block, the pink ing iron is placed upon it and then a strong man hits it a welt with the sledge. .. After knocking the essential tar out of the coin, as one may say, it is politely returned to the owner, who has to make it good. The idea, as the bright eyed reader has already discovered, no doubt, is to prevent its circulation, and that is almost invariably the result. - Civil service has its odd and rather amusing features' to one, at least, who sees the ridiculous readily. , For in stance, there is a position under the government in the customs which re quires that a man who fills it shall, to the best of bis ability, knock off the lids of boxes by means of a cold chisel and hammer. " . ; .-v: - The knowledge of Euclid or the bihor mal theorem is not absolutely necessary, the principal thing being to avoid pull ing out the thumb nail while pulling tho other nails. But the civil service re quires that he shall know certain things, whether he can knock off the lid of the box or not. One of these men has to stand upon a set of cyclopedias in order to reach the top of a big box. In the language of a friend, 'he is up on books,' but he is short on stature," The civil service does not ask Mm how tall he is, but whether, a given line, bi secting the base of an isosceles triangle and running due east toward a given point, will also bisect the circumference of a given circle whose radius is perpen dicular to the base of the isosceles tri angle. Take also the case of a man whose duty it is to pack and unpack valuable bric-a-brac. Those who have put in a year or two paciciag and unpacking without breakage costly china, marble, glass and other truck will agree .with me that this is extremely important, al though a civil service examination does not touch the question. Of .course it is well for a man who drives a team for the custom house to know that "evolo- TUB OFFICE CHAIR. - tion is a gradual change from an infinite, incoherent homogeneity to .a definite, co herent heterogeneity through continuous differentiations and integrations," hut it would be still better if he knew promptly what to do in a malignant case of botts. But J cannot do this subject justice, and perhaps I should not refer to it here, because it really does not belong to a letter treating of the custom house, for tne cases, above referred to were ob tained surreptitiously from other par- The collector seems to tase Emoiy to civil service, I judged, and although he courteously laughed when I referred to these illustrations, he did not - give way to mirth as I have seen people do. He is kind to those who have served well and faithfully, and seems to cling to faithful employes wherever the .public weal requires it or will be lat sub served. I think that is whf s-vi3, though the word weal is one ' ' , very little of. He says th;u t-.Toss in competence, intemperance oi- iai jI -ucs would always meet with a prompt dis missal, "And what would you regard as a pronounced case of indolence in the ser vice of the government, Mr Erhardt?" "Well, the government is not gen erally severe on its employes, I think, JSor instance, I knew of a man who acted for many years as a watchman for the government, and while the president was down there at Washington this man held up hia corner of the great national fabric by attending the theatre while on watch. He slept at the government building, but took his meals at home. ' Thus he got his salary for his lodging, and often received a box at the theatre on the strength of his relations, with the gov ernment. He is now not in it." "But regarding virulent and long con tinued attacks of indolence, does the government fire such cases?" - "Yes, always. Ultimately. The pol icy of the government has been rather pacific, and yet where a man has beegme so sedentary that he can sit down-on an onfin RarWTrr.ifAar.,1 r n Wr, w l" i, v: c.fj v 1 n look into hia case. Should he occupy all day a chair on which there is an open eight bladed knife, with a corkscrew in the back, also open, and then at night go home with the knife adhering to his per son, we call for his resignation." ' Speaking about chairs, while I was in the office word came that there had been orders issued from Washington that wuibui lUBoinatiarmrare Bnouia-eei, repaireo. eeema uiai some time ago a special agent or inas department caueu on the collector.

Finally he hU ha roaswd ha must co. and as he did so" the revolutionary chair slid out from under him, and going over in the corner crossed its legs and put its arms behind its back. ' J: --"Now,"" said 'the collector, "I beg your pardon for offering you that chair, but I wanted to asS you if it would be possi ble to get hold of an appropriation from which a suitable amount could be se cured for the purpose of . fixing ' that chair.

Also a man who cleans cisterns is going to whitewash the rotunda if the govern ment would not deem it a mare's nest I sometimes think that if the United States would give more time to large affairs, like reciprocity and statesman ship, instead of running wildly a mile and a half every time an old mare flies cackling joyously from the nest, we would have more groceries in the house for a given sum than we now have.

He Turns tfie Table on tho "Boy" In a Mining Camp. They were sitting in the lobby of Young's reading the papers and enjoy ing their cigars. One was a middle aged, pleasant faced man, who was read ing Bill Nye, aad chuckling 'softly to himself as he read. His evident enjoy ment pleased tho other members of the little group, and they began to smile. Finally the middle aged man finished his story and tossed the paper aside with a laugh. Then he turned to his neigh bor and said: - " ' ! "I always make it a point to read Bill Nye's letters every week.

He always bore it good naturedly, and had very little to say. - "One evening we were sitting around, as usual,: with" one or two quiet little games going on, when Nye walked in and took a sest in a corner. . The boys began to joke and chaff him as usual, ,but ho paid no attention, and finally bent over and rested hia face in his hanT5 v.':h a" terribly sorrowful air.
