THE LEGISLlTlfRK. We hope tbe Democrats in all the counties will be careful and reflect log in nominating candidates for the Legislature. Sorely it is important to select men of intelligence, infor mation and, if possible, of legislative experience. Why send men to the Legislature who are utterly ignorant of the whole process of framing laws; who have no knowledge of parlia nientary-usage; who cannot draw a bill and have no real understanding of the defects of our laws and the re quirements of the people, if you can do better? Retain capable men in office when they' are efficient and faithful until you can work in gradu ally inexperienced men. . Of course there must in every session be new men. Death, old age, infirmities of body and mind, and an uo willingness to serve on the part of many will always make room for the- inexperi enced. The point we drive at is to ick the best, safest, most i capable nen in the counties, when this can be ilone with due regard to availability. North Carolina has suffered much I ;! I since 1865, by reason of incompe tency, unfaithfulness and other causes. There has been complaint again and again of imperfect, un- ml. ' ' ' ill ' wise legislation. The sure way to remedy this is to send able men, well equipped men, sober men to make the laws, whenever this can be done.' North Carolina has the material.! be can gather enough men of high character and good--, abilities in a General Assembly to give it! a name amot g the best, and to secure the full confidence of the people; There is not much need of new laws, but wbat new ones are mide should be. good onei. ' . j-' ; Tbe-STAR believes in rotation in office -tbe sound old Democratic theory. Bnt this does not mean nevejLto re elect any man M any of-, flee. It means that the British- Life enure is not the truejj j pystem -r America -tnat no mm has a lease upon an office! The very terms of office show this. The Pre- ' T ' ' i -: sided is elected but for four years; j i J . . 7 the Senate for six year: the Gover- I' , . - ; ' nor for lour years and 1. so on. If it bad been intended that one man should i.o'd office indefinitely upon good, behavior, -there would have been to limits fixed aud the Himil Ionian idea would have prevailed. Rotation is all right, but the people should not desire to apply the prin ciple loo freely. A legislator might Wisely be re-elected for I several terms. When the people are careful in selecting they can almost secure efficiency. Rotation always is ex- Cellent when it is used to -get rid of jftepublicaas and put in honest, capa ble Democrats. Remember that. t is not a good thing when it forceB ut well qualified, safe Democrats ul metals Republicans. THE DEITIOIKACV DEHAPiDS , TA ItlFF REFOBHI. " I . We notice in the Washington cor-' reepondence of leading papers that it is understood in Washington that Randall that model .'Democrat and ravorite statesman (?) with a-certain olass of newspapers will fight the new Tariff bill as he has fought all! ther Democratic efforts to reduce axation and fulfil .the oft repeated ledges of the party in National and late Conventions. ' The Stab has Very freely given its opinion of the' Pennpvlvanian Rcmihlian nhn m'ooi jquerades as a Democrat for his own jBelfish enda. It can have no patience with or confidence in any man who WiU play false and betray his party jwhen in peril. The very first time Randall prevented Tariff reform the Stab "eized" him and! denounced him for bin treachery. 1 From that day to tins it has never reposed the slightest confidence' lii Jiiml The man who will lie to-day will lie to-morrow. The politician who will play false once will do so twice of thrice. Randall is a traitor to Im party,' anL4eougiit long 'ago ttfhave betn refused admittance into Democratic caucuis. " HU power is great Bimply because! Democrats court him and pretend to regard him as one of them. He is a Protection ist and U always working in the in terests of the Republicans, who keep him in Congress by fixing a district for him. He is as much of a Republic can as "p'g-iroo" Kelley,but he wears the Democratic colors. Shame and deception! . " j j - j TEe Washington correspondent of the Boston Post telegraphs that Ran dall and his followers will ' j vote against the Democratic bill. Jit ;8 known that Kelley, Reed, McKinley and other Republican leaders in the House will bitterly oppose . th1 bill. The Washington Post thinfei this enough for Randalh Without these Republican Worthies indorsing the bill theirjieachman, Randall, cannot of course go for it. Randall opposed tbe Morrison bill of 1884. Hia State L I went 80,000 majority for Blaine.- tto it ts of no consequence wnat fenn aylvania! may think of the Dem ocratic bill to reduce the taxes. The New York Times says: "Mr. Jtiodall is plaiuly asainsl it.! and his frixnds and allies in ibe Republican party are counting on from 15 to 20 Dem ocratic votes subject to bis delivery. If the delivery were to bu immediate, he could probably cintri t the smaller, if not tbe largrr number It is quite dear that un less torcea rrom their position oy manilts tailoDsof pu il.c opinion the Republicans intend lo maae a united partisan opposi tion to the bill. There has been no sign in any direction of any different policy The debate on the bill will be long and able. - We have an abiding con fidence that the Democrats in both i Houses will be able to more than hold their own. We bope some real ly very able speeches will be made in favor of Tax reform and reduc tion, and that they will be thorough ly desseminatedathrougbout the coun try. i There will be no vote on tbe bill for month sto come, we may be lieve. The Country expects tax j re duclion. New England is , rapidly leaning that way. The Northwest is ripe for it. Tbe South demands it in 188S, as it demanded it in 1876, in 1880 and in 1884. Tbe taxes' must i t be cut down. The War Tariff iraust be razeed. Let the! whole country ag itate for "reform.. The Democratic press sbjould unite at once in pressing this very important mat ter. The Protection element will probably I fight for ! . tax retention, it being so helpful and beneficial to a free people to be op pressively taxed. But the true Dem ocracy everywhere must pull togeth er and cry out for reform. No man should be nominated or supported for CoDgress in 1888, who is not de cidedly a tax reducer and a Tariff reformer and a surplus enemy. That is the way the Stab looks 'at itj and if it is not Democratic then it knows nothing of Democracy. ' I 'I he New York Times, ablest of i j i Republican paper?, but a strong ad' vocal e of reform, says: ' For tbe firct time since the war the miff has awakened an intelligent assertion f ihe interests of classes other than those nt-oetiied by it. .Far tbe first time in all thai long period ihe men who pay and not the aeu who are paid are making them- Helves heard. This is a voice that will ulti mately be listened to. If it be not listened to before, it will mabe itself heard at ihe polls in a manner that will pierce U.e dullest and longest ears. Just at Dre amt the opponents of tbe bill are scolding me nays ana means uommittee for mak- L;- a vote-catching'! bill; but thai is a crit icism that the committee can concede to be well founded It was never anv thing but a Htund consideration for public opinion to iitten to the appeals of the manufacturers of -cotton ties and cotton bagging.

No w and then you will find a man to learu by experience and to openly confess his errors of iadsmfciit.. ! H o ! : a ill not be a politician however.' Mr. 0. J. Noarse, a pig iron manufac- uner, seems to be of the number. In 1870, he and three other brother! pig iron monopolists ! sent a circular to Cl rtain members of Congress. We rarn from the New York Times that bey protested "against any reduc tion in the duties on iron at that time" 1870 -and declare that, on the contrary, the country demands 'protection to American industry of all kinds until we are altogether in- lepeudent of foreign manufacturers ar d havo taken our proper place! as exporters of aa excees beyond our imports." " ." - ". I I l'hey said that Protection would con "build up manufactories," con- ntct mines by rail, "reduce costof transportation," and "cheapen the cost of all American products." Af ter seventeen years Mr. Nourse 6ays that Piotection 'has done its work as foretold." He now looks for a re duction. He savs: I "Correct errors in fr-e 1st wool. coal, lumber, iron nrPB-'malrf a gent rat reduction of from 10 lo 20 per ceci.; take off the internal revenue tax on ooacco. 'try this f. r two years." j lie evidently believes iu the vir- me or rrolection, but he knows when he has enough of it. Like a fair! man ie now proposes- to reduce. The Times 6ays that be is the "first pro- lection ist we have ever come across who is logical, who perceives that if protection is 1 good for anything it pn's a limit to its own life, and makes tself after a certain time unneces sary, and tbereiore oonraulvn ? Mr. Nourae is so honest and intelli gent that- his plan "of reduction, the limes thinkf, would cut down the War Tariff by not less thaa sixty million dollar?, as follows: . Tibficco tax J Ten' per cent, nn tariff. . .". Wool... ..; , Coal . $30,000,000 21.000 000 tt.OOO 000 700.000 800.000 1.500.000 Iron ores j Lumber I.... Total .$60,000 000 If the general reduction on r.. this amount would be, on the basis of the importp. for the flnoa.1 rPr is7 i onn 000 more. i t I Mr. Clay always thought and said that the Protective Tariff was a tem porary arrang'ement and that after industries had been fostered for a few years they would be able to stand alone, flis last Tariff bill was based upon a final average of 20 per cent. The Democratic Low! Tariff of 1850-60, averaged about 17 per cent., and this country flourished under it as it never did before or since. i i The Northern Presbyterians are working to raise a $1,000,000 endow ment fund to provide for aged min- o:ro ana widows. This is most commendable. r Every Presidential year tbe Re publican leaders gather fresh fuel of the most inflammable material, and after saturating if in the 'kerosene oil of bate,' they put it under the political pot .and set r it -to 'boiling. Then they send put their creatures to go over the South gathering lies and slanders, and then they put these in the outrage mill and grind away orooning a song of malice that was set to music in the infernal re gions. J his is .Presidential year, In the Senate, Ingalls with an in decensy , quite unparalleled," fumes like an inmate of tbe lowest ward in an insane asylum, and from his fou mouth issue burses, blasphemies, and malice set on fire of hell, and all be cause the President of the. United States is a statesman, with a patriot ism that is ooexteusive with, the whole land, and with an integrity that is without a flaw; and because the Democrats of i the Federal Con gress are unwilling to see the coun try robbed and plundered by scoun drels and demagogues and all for the lowest partisan ends. Since 1862, the Union soldiers have' been j paid $883,240,297. Of this sum the South has po doubt paid more than $300,000,000. ' la 1887, the sum paid was $74,815,486 nearly one fourth more than it took to pay the total expenditures for one year of the Buchanan Democratic Administration when the population of the country was more than 31,- ooo.ooo. j ; I This fellow Ingalls, who "trembling through hasty rage when choler in him sweld," is a fine specimen of the Republican reformer - of the Repub lican statesman. Byron sized such creatures when be said: - I ! 1 "Pardon is for men. And not for: reptiles we have none for titeno. : And no resentment; things like him must sting, - J : 1 I . Aud higher beings suffer. The man who dies by tbe adder's Jang May have tbe crawler crushed, but feels no anger: 'Twas the worm's nature; and some men are worms In soul more; than the living things of tombs " j The Southern people can well af ford to look on and laugh while In galls prances around the arena of the Senate making such a magnificent aes of himself. Think of a Vice Pre sident shooting his arrows tipped with poison and feathered by hate at the President of a great country and then not feel; disposed to kick the fellow. But did not Blackburn re ply in admirable style? It was ex cellent. It took off the thick hide of the Kansas viper with a skill that showed steady hand and ripe prac tice. It could not well have been better. Senator Blackburn is a man of brilliant parts, and he never bore himself better. But mean it was in Ingalls what a suitable name to spit bis venom at Senator Vest when that gifted gentleman was faraway attending upon the sick. The only exense for such a dis gusting, disgraceful tirade ae was indulged by Ingalls is that he is "daft." The more decent part of his party will spew him out of their mouth. What withering scorn when the eloquent Kenluckian in conclu sion said: "Party man as I am. nartisan as I son- fees myself to be, I do sincerely trust that I may never find my term of public service prolonged to that davJ nor mv life extend ed to that hour; when without warrant. wiiuoui isci 10 support it. without truth at my back. I will turn deliberately, to tra duce aod abuse the dead, who while liv ing were honored by all honorable men ' At Rome,1 in Winston co., Miss., a defenceless old man named Rutledge was shot td death by a man named Bailey. This occurred in a meeting of school trustees, j A dispatch from Aberdeen in the New Yoik World says': j j , "Then a general fusilade began. The friends of Bailey took one side of the room, rallying about the tius-tee, and ttie osher men, friends Of the pupils, hastened to de fend themselves from a general attack. Bailey stood in a corner of the room, a re volver in each hand, and the breath was no mere than out) of Rutledjie's body before his slayer began- popping away right and left at the f,ld man'a friends. The sudden ness of the killing of Rutledge had surprised the others, but they were ready for Bailey in ten seconds Bullets flew here aud there, the men dodging behind the desks to escape them, and not a few tried to defend them selves with k Dives. Old man Rutledge's son Ed was mortally wounded and died in a few hours, j Bailey I received a long gash down his back from a bowie and a pistol bullet ploughed a furrow in bis side, but he was saved from certain death once by bis sister jumping in between him and his enemief, when of course all firing ceased. Soon tbe friends of Bailey made a dash with bun for the door and succeeded in getting out j with a few scratches frcm knives, as all the ammunition in the party had been expended, and fifty bullet holes in the walla bhowed how erratic was the aim of the excited men. "Bailey was hurried into the woods and escaped.- It is said that neither of his wounds" is seriou?, and that he will come back and repay some of his enemies tor their work. His action ia the unfor tunate affair is simplj astonishlaz to thoaa who knew him " A leading member of the House Committee Cn Ways and Means dis courses intelligently and plausibly on the subject of the tax on fruit, brandies and alcohol. He is reported in the New York World as saying: "We shall not touch fruit brandies The question as to whether or not they should be taxed presents a very knotty problem. Take away the flavor of the apple from apple brandy and you have lert nothing but the alcohol, which it is our purpose to tax The art of chemistry is very sabtla and is fully equal to separating any mixture into its component parts. As yet we have not been able to discover a method by which we can secute the Go sition were the tax to be removed from fruiL is bibu a. consideration that the man who makes whiskey from corn and rye "is as ' muchg entitled to distil it without tax as is tbe man who converts his fruit crop into brandy. Aa to alcohol, we are influenced by a desire to relieve the in dustries and the arts of the country of any burde'n that can safely be removed."

Railroad,: over the Pee Dee river, in South Carolina, were burned yesterday at 7:30 a. m. No particu lars could be' obtained as the cause, but the fire is supposed to have been accidental. As soon as the news was received here Captain Dunn, engin eer of roadway, and Captain Divine, general superintendent, with a con struction train and a large force of workmen, went to the bridge to re pair the damage. ! It is thought that ; the bridge will be repaired in two or three days, and in the meantime the railroad author ities have made arrangements to run all through trains over the Carolina Central to Hamlet, thence over the Palmetto road to Cheraw. and thence to Florence via the Cheraw & Dar lington Railroad.

Mr. Hawley said be had received the communication from the War Department, saying that errors contained in tbe printed document rendered it almost valueless for reference, and that the errors were not contained in tbe copy sent from the Department. . He (Hawley) asked that the document be reprinted. It was so or dered. Washington, March 6 The President to-aay nominated Jones V. Btreer, of Ala bama, to be receiver of public moneys at tluntsville. Ala. i The total reduction ia revenue made by the bill presented to the Ways and Means Committee to-day is about twenty-five millions, made up of twenty million on to bacco, and five million on various special taxes removed. The presentation of the bill wai a signal for a vigorous onslaught by tbe Republican members upon their Democratic colleagues. They roundly de nounced tbe majority for their conduct in ine preparation or this and tbe tariff bill, and their indignation was heightened when tbe preposition was put and carried. ! de spite their objection, to consolidate in one measure ine tarm ana revenue mils, jar Reed demanded to know upon what prec.' dent or by what authority the Democratic members of the committee had departed from the usual plan of considering, tbe President's message, by sections in full committee.and adopted tbe scheme of pre paring the bill alleged to be based upon its recommendations, without affording I tbe minority opportunity to discuss in detail the proposed changes that might involve enormous loss and irretrievable damage to tbe country. Mr. Kelly joined with Air. Keed in a vigorous protest against tbe methods dopted by tbe majority. Finally, Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, offered a reso lution declaring that the committee bad acted fully within its powers in the prepa ration and consideration of bills upon re commendations contained in the President's message, and the suggeationa carried by various measures introduced in tbe House and referred to tbe committee. This reso lution was adopted by a strict party yore, all of the members being present and vo ting except Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania. It was tben suggested by tbe Republicans, in view of the apparent determination of tbe majority to begin immediately formal consideration of the bill, that manufac turers and producers whose interests might be affected by the bul should be afforded an opportunity to address the committee upon tbe subject. This proposition did not seem to meet with favor at the bands of the majority, and some of the Democratic members took tbe ground that anv need' ful information might be eupplied to tbe committee by means of printed briefs or areumen's Mr Reed, however, charac terized such proceeding as bumbuegery. and declared that no information of value could be imparted by printed screeds, as had been abundantly shown in tbe past. He appealed to Ihe committee to allow proper consideration of the bill, and not to cut off information easily obtainable, which would enable members to act intelligently and without destroying vast interests. Other wise, the minority would be obliged to go tbrougb tbe details of tbe bill on their own account ana witn very inadequate means of acquiring knowledge of the probable effect of the proposed changes in the tariff laws. Tbe session of the committee lasted about an hour and tbree-quartere, and finally, without formal .y disposing of the question of hearings, the committee ad journed until to-morrow morning, when it is me understanding tnat consideration of tbe bill by "Sections will begin. Through an error made in the compilation of the revenue bill as cent to-day,both sections 11 and 14 appear to offer independent substi tutes for section 3355 of tbe Revised Statutes As a matter of fact, it was the committee's intention to consolidate the two substitutes in one section.

Some were cut off in tbe composing room, and there is still a terrible suspense, as several fell back into tbe flames. Employes who rushed into the editorial room were cut off from escape in the rear, and had to face the hor rible alternative of burning to death or umping to the sidewalk below.

The day's sales 441,000 bales were tbe largest ever re corded in one day, and tbree times du ring the day notices of the suspension of well-to-do members were posted on tbe bulletins. The market opened unsettled for futures and' from six to ten points below Sat nrrifivVi nrlnpa Affar tha nn.n!n oafon J w..www. vw. . u u W,V.M,UK PVO of 29,000 bales, tbe market became excited ana prices oroae rapiaiy. a panicky feel ing became general and the market fell way ten to twenty points below opening prices. Since last Friday quotations had then de clined fifty-one points, and as a result everybody was anxious to unload.' Not a bull could be found on the floor, and sud denly converted bear brokers became terri fied. Somehow or Other, however, priees worked up a peg or -so, but immediately fell off when tbe first failure of the day was announced. The Iocs exceeded the previous gain, and when the market closed quotations were at the lowest notch of the day ! and almost thirty points below Saturday's closing quotations. The suspensions announced- during the day were those of Wm. V. King, No. 128 Pearl Btreet; J. H. Garrison, ,No. 8 Old Slip; and George T. Dixon, Nos. 2 and 4 Stone street, i King told a reDorter that his suspension was only temporary, and that nis liabilities were about $20,000. He added that bis failure was very unexpected, and was due to heavy customers' failure to respond to his margin calls j King has been in business since 1872, is a captain in the22d Re?imsnt ATlH ia com of hi nf ' r9 a social lion. Garrison's failure ia likewisn attrtbuted to customers' inability or unwil lingness to promptly increase his margins. From an eXftellant. nnthnrttn nn lha T7V change floor it was learned that both Garri- buu uu uang nave ceen operating very ex tensively for a certain big Southern coun try operator. It is stated that when the revulsion came on tbe an nouncement that tbe supposedly small crop was in reulity very large, the Southern operator failed to send remittances to cover his contracts. Garrison says he can not state the amount of bis liabilities, but he thinks thev He has been in business since 1880, and ex pects to soon get on nis reel and resume. Dixon's failure was a general surprise. Dixon ia Chairman nf the Mcmhunhin ...w ...wu. w.. wAT Committee of tbe Exchange, and was look ed upon as a. wealthy broker. The amount of hia liabilities could nnt hp. WrnpH hnt it. is believed, like Garrison's, 1 to be smaller than that of King. John H. Ionian, said to be tbe largest dealer in the country, was on the Exchange floor the creater nnrt nf the day, but declined being interviewed. Kolli Brothers, successors to the old East India Co moan v. who control most nf thn export trade, had a representative on the floor during tbe excitement, but he, too, re fufpd to taifc. s Various thenrien fit) tn lha mhu nf tha excitement were advanced, and generally discussed Some held that tbe Mills tariff bill, which places substitutes for cotton on the frea list, was responsible. Others tbouiht that the recent publications, which placed the present and prospective stock at a low figure, and thereby considerably af fected the market, bad suddenly been peoven erroneous. As a matter of fact, it recently appeared that the stock was. great ly in excees of all expectations. FO&EION.
