The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C., as second class mail matter. WILSON, N. C, - - May 28, 1S91. MICH TO BE DOSE. Next Monday will be a big day in Wilson. Every man in the county, almost, of prominence will be here; It is the first Monday in June. The County Commissioners will be in ses sion ; the Justices of the Peace and Commissioners will hold a joint ses sion to levy the tax for the ensuing year; the Board of Education will meet ; the town commissioners-elect will qualify and elect town officers ; and the June term of Wilson Superior Court convenes Monday. We respectfully submit the follow ing to the consideration of the County Commissioners and the Justices of the Peace : At the Industrial Convention held in Raleigh week before last, composed of delegates from all sections of North Carolina, appointed by County Com missioners, local alliances and by re quest of the Governor of the State, the following resolution was unani mously passed : Resolved. That the Board of Coun ty Commissioners of each county in the State, and the Justices of the same; in their joint session in the month of June in the present year, be requested to take the proper steps to have the products, industries and ev idence of the resources of their res pective counties collected and exhibi ted at the Southern Inter-State Expo sition, to be held in Raleigh in Octo ber and November, 1 89 1 , and that these exhibits be placed irf the hands of the managers of the North Carolina exhibit to be shown at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1892. Resolved further, that the Govern or of the State is requested forthwith upon the adjournment of this conven tion, to officially request of the afore mentioned authorities and people of the several counties of the State full and ready compliance with the pur pose of these resolutions. In obedience to the request made in the above resolutions, Gov. Holt has issued the following proclamation : Executive Department, Raletgh, N. C. J Whereas, The Southern Inter State Immigration Bureau has decided to hold, in the City of Raleigh, during the months of October and November A. D. 1 891, an Exposition of South ern products ; and Whereas, The General Assembly of North Carolina has made appropri ation tor the purpose of displaying the products of the State at the Colum bian Exposition in Chicago in 1892. And in accordance with the request of the progressive North Carolinians in convention assembled in Raleigh, May 1 3th and 14th, 1891, I, Thomas M. Holt, Governor of North Carolina, proclaim to the peo ple of this State the necessity of fully co-operating with fhe Southern Inter State Immigration Bureau, and the Commissioners in charge of the Col umbian exhibit for North Carolina. And I request progressive citizens in each county to meet the Justices of the Peace and County Commission ers at their respective county seats and urge the appropriation of such a sum of money as may be deemed necessary to have the resources of each county fully shown to capitalists, manufacturers and home seekers that will visit the Southern Exposition in this city during October and. Novem ber and ai Chicago in 1893. The State appropriation is not sufficient to make such an exhibit as this State is capable ef showing. Therefore, I most earnestly urge those county offi cers having the interest of the people in charge, and all wishing to see this grand state of ours properly exhibited to the world, to give this important matter their most earnest attention. Thomas M. Holt. S. F. Telfair, Private Sec'y. So it will be seen that this is not the least important matter that will be discussed on Monday. And now one word about the coun ty's finances. Wilson county was never in a bet ter financial condition. Its affairs nave been wisely handled. The com missioners have been careful and eco nomical. They have used caution ana wise discretion. Last year there remained a surplus in the treasury and the tax levy was reduced to 10 cents on the $100 worth of property To prevent a possible deficiency now it will be wise and expedient to raise the levy to 18 or 20 cents. There was listed for taxation last year $3,329,920.00 worth of property. Upon this amount the estimate for the coming year must be based. A levy -of 20 cents will raise only $6,659.84. The amount levied for State purposes this year is I State tax, 25 cts on the $100 School " 15. " " " " Pension " 3 Total, 43 ( w 43 cents for all State, and 20 cents for county, purposes will amount to only 63 cents on the $100 worth of property for citizens of Wilson county to pay and $1.89 on the poll. No county in the State will have a lower tax levy. There are in the county, according to the tax books, 1808 white and 820 colored polls. The county's part of the tax would therefore amount to $2,985.92, This would make a total $9.645-76, if our calculation is cor rect, for the administration of the county's attains the coming year. fcow is that sum too much ? Will not that amount be needed ? Is it . . . .. not better policy to raise one dollar too much than not to raise enough ? . These are questions the Justices and Commissioners will have to find answers for on Monday. While the Advance favors econo my and opposes reckless extrava gances it also favors a liberal and conservative and opposes a niggardly, cramping, close-fisted administration of thejcounty's affairs. But Wilson county is in no danger of sufiering from either extreme. IS THERE NOTHING TO FEAR? Whatever else may come, the Democratic party has nothing to fear from this movement It draws Its independent support from States in which only the Republican party can be injured. In the Democratic States of the South no power can, for the present, detach the sympathizers with the Alliance, and its ideas, from the Democracy. However much discontent may exist, there is an at tachment to the principles, a confi dence in the leaders, of the Demo cratic party, which is stronger than any other feeling or sentiment New York Saturday Globe, "f It is not at all probable that a dis tinctive third party organization, shaped upon the lines indicated in the latest Cincinnati platform, will ev er gain such a foothold me South as to break up the Democratic su premacy of that section. Whenever a political revolution does occur in the Sputh it will be due to other forces. Had the Republican party wisely improved the opportunities vouchsafed to it by a long continu ance in power it might have set such a revolution in motion some years ago, but it neglected to do so. As our esteemed contemporary truly suggests, the loyalty of the Democratic party to its ideas and its leaders is iudissoluble. There nothing like it in the history of Amer ican politics the tenacity with which this organization through the adverse fortunes of a quarter of century, up to the time of the dec iKJii 01 mr. Cleveland ana ever since has remained unswervingly true to itself. But we cannot entirely agree with the Saturday Globe that nothing is to be feared iom the new movement. T J e 1 r . 11 won 1 uo ior eitner 01 the great parties to bank on their past records or prestige or principles to the ex tent of believing themselves invulner able. !So party can afford to tolerate with equanimity new departures which, with all their manifest defects and extravagances, must mean in the main that somewhere or other there is at least a partial and it may be very serious justification for them J u.. rtnu nidi certain grievances do exist with which our statesmanship seems unable or incompetent to cope, and to the remedies for which our legisla tion is apparently indifferent The Democratic party has just this to fear not that an avalanche of wild and irrrational schemes is about to be precipitated upon the country burying in chaos and out of sight the fundamental principles of sound fi nance but that in its own overconfi aence it may tail to appreciate the real significance of the Cincinnatti pronouncement. If there is a soli tary count in that indictment which calls the policy of the party in ques h'rtn C- 1 1 " wu, it musi uc answered in one way or the other, or judgment wiB be en tered against it If in any respect tne party has lallen short of the reas- It i onaDie expectations of the people, it therein discloses an inherent weak ness in itself "and furnishes to the third party a reason for its being wnicn ought never to have been. As a matter of fact, both of the great parties are in a measure respon sible for the situation and whatever of evil there may be in it. Thev a both in a measure responsible for any new party that may be born of this situation. They both have some uung 10 iear, whether much or little, ..v.... nwTcwcm mat nas its origin in the discontent and unrest of the people that neither has honestly or successfully sought to allay. Wash ington Post. free trade versus free silver. "Up to this time we haye held fast 10 gold as the standard. Everything m me united states is based upon gold to-day, all silver notes or coins being kept equal to gold. Has that oeenawise or an unwise policy? Would it now be best to let the gold standard go, to which the advanced nations cling, and especially Britain, and adopt the silver standard of our South American neighbors? Upon the solid rock of gold as our basis article we have built up the wealthiest country m the world, and the great est agricultural, manufacturing, and mining and commercial country ever known. We have prospered beyond any nation the sun ever shone upon. In no country are wages of labor so high or the masses of the people so well off. Shall we discard the gold basis, or even endanger it ? This is the question before the people of the United States to-day. The New York Evening Post is a free trade or gan, but it has recendy said that it would rather be the party to na McKinlev Bills than nr C;i. 0:11 - uuvci Jalll such as was. urged, and I a Re,H hcan and a believer in the wisdom of protection, tell you that I would rath er give up the McKinley Bill and pass the Mills Bill, if for the exchange I could have the present Silver Bill repealed and silver treated like other metals. In the next presidential campaign, if I have to vote for a man in favor of silver and protection, or for a man in favor of die gold stand ard and free trade, I shall vote for the latter, because my judgment tells me that even the tariff is not half so important for the good of the country as the maintenance of the highest standard for the money of the peo ple." The above is from the pen of An drew Carnegie, the "Iron King," as he is called, of Pennsylvania, in the June number of the North American Review. It is a very significant ar ticle. He is a Republican and a man ufacturer, and views the situation from that standpoint Grover Cleve land, it will be remembered, stands upon the platform of a gold standard and free trade. Does Carnegie mean to say that he, and all others of his stripe, would vote for the Democrat ic nominee, if that nominee is Cleve land. Bah ! Such talk deceives no one not even the most credulous rainbow chaser. But such a condi tion will not confront the Republican voter iu 1892. A Democrat, who is a Democrat, will be nominated and the platform will be a tariff for reve nue only and free silver. THE SPEAKERSHIP. The Advance is trying to keep its readers posted as to the fight for Speaker of the next House of Rep resentatives. It is yet some time before the contest will be decided, but the fight is now fairly under way. A Washington letter to the St. Louis Globe Democrat says : "A canvas of the Democrats and alliance members of the next Con gress has progressed far enough to yield interesting and surprising re sults. Answers from 149 Represen tatives on the Speakership have been received. The poll leaves eighty three to hear from. It stands, so far as completed, as follows : Mills 18 ; Crisp 21; Blount 2; McMillin 25; Springer 30 ; Hatch 43 ; Bynum 10. Total 143. This is rather surprising. It shows a greater distribution of strength than has been supposed. It also makes evident the fact that sen timent is setting in strongly against the idea of putting a Southern man in the Speaker's chair. The figures will be better understood when it ex plains that the poll embraces nearly all of the alliance member and those Democrats who are in sympathy with the alliance movement. In this state ment is found the partial explanation for the fact that Hatch looms up at the head of the list Another thing about the poll is that the returns em brace a large proportion of the mem bers who are coming to serve their first terms. These have responded readily to the inquiry for the first choice for Speaker. The eighty-three who have not recorded their senti ments on the Speakership are, with very few exceptions, old members. Still another significant fact notice able in the returns is the striking unanimity of the Northern Demo crats on one point. Nearly one hundred Northern Democrats are recorded. Mills has almost no Northern support. Crisp has more. McMillin has the most Northern backing of any of the Southern can didates. Ifthese partial returns in dicate any conclusion, they mean that the Northern Democrats expect to make a Northern man Speaker, and that they will be indorsed in this po sition by a strong Southern element on the ground of policy." Instead of criminally prosecuting Green B. Raum, Jr., for malfeasance in office, he is presented with a month's salary and allowed to resign. Ana tne best reason that Assistant Secretary of the Interior Bussey could assign for that very queer pro ceeding was that Secretary Noble had directed that it be done "on ac count of the financial circumstances of young Raum and for the sake of his family." What right had Secre tary Noble to give away to this young man a month's.salary ? The money in the United States Treasury there isn t any too much of it these dav belongs to the people and not to men who happen for the time to be at the head of the government departments. When Secretary Noble wishes to do nate money he should always be cap ful to give only that which belones -to him. or some dar k a a - may unci himself on the wrong side of "the Dris- oners box in a criminal court There is no tariff on credulitv therefore any one who pleases is at liberty to believe that Mr. Harrison paid $25,000 as the expenses of his recent junket, as has been stated by those friendly toward him. It's dol lars to peanuts, however, that those figures with the ciphers erased would represent a larger sum than the trio Mr. Harrison. He is far thrifty a man to give up six months salary for a pic-c lasting just five. of Sir ItoW wee its.

Of course he will not He fcvill wait to be kicked out, and up to the present time Mr. Harrison has lacked the backbone to do the kick ing, although his friends say that he would willingly, aye gladly, accept Raum's resignation. Commissioner Raum says there is a conspiracy against him. That's what every criminal says when brought to trial. The conspiracy in this case represents the honest peo ple of the country demanding that a man above suspicion be put Raum's place. in Democratic victories won in fair contest are nullified by the action of partisan Republican courts. (See Connecticut and Nebraska.) How long will the people of this country stand this sort of thing ? Mr. Harrison would probably give something handsome in the way of a Federal appointment that wouldn't cost him anything to know whether Mr. Blaine s ailment was gout sulks. or wt T r 1 r- nwr ww ers editor, made ite first bow to the cntical public Wednesday of last week.

Soma of the Book and Periodicals on Our Book Doak. THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL. A never failing of the The Ladies' Home Journal is that it is always abreast of the season ; somehow it presents just the things one wants most to see at the particular time it comes out ; this seems especially true of the June number, with its dainty pages for the Brides of June, Flor- ence Howe Hall's "In Church, or at Home?" Mrs. Mallon's suggestions for brides and their maids, and Ella Wheeler Wilcoxfs clever comparisons between women and flowers. Helen Jay and Kate Upson Clark have treated very acceptably the two sides of the farmer vs. summer-boarder controversy, and the same breezy out-door spirit pervades also the me rvciiiy viauui, . 1 1 .
