Tbe Public Printer is quoted as stat ing that it will be necessary to purchase presses and machinery to the amount of $50,000 to complete the issue of the reports of the tenth census, now in course of preparation. It would seem that the Indiana Leg islature presents a fine fiejd for temper ance lecturers. A few nights ago one of the Seators ofiered a resolution of adjournment, giving as his reason that the members were so drunk that they were unable to properly attend to bus iness. The legislative commitee which has been investigating the removal of the warden of the Massachusetts State Prison, have quietly dropped the mat ter. It was discovered that the furth er tbe investigation of the charges, against the Governor went the case be- m V T A1 J came more iavoraDie ior cuuer uu worse for those bringing the 'charges. -Ml A Dublic highway law has been put in force in Florida. Eyery citizen is compelled to perfornr the same duty, six days' work in each year, and a fail ure to perform the labor or pay the e quivalent in cash, which the law fixes at 50 cents per day, is made a misde meanor, punishable by line and impris onment. Richmond State: The distress in Ire land is very great, and calls for relief. The Briti&h Government, which has brought on this distress by its misrule of that country, should be the one to afford relief, and it is the shame of the century that it does not properly pro videtfor that nation, which has done so much for the glory of the British Empire. Macon Telegiaph: Mr Stephens is in his grave. Had the counsil of his real friends been heeded, he would probably be living in honored retirement at Lib erty Hall. But, for all that, he sleeps the sleep of an honest man. He did not plunder the people. He did not get rich in office. The fact should never be forgotten. Washington Critic: Those Demo crats who fancy that the Tariff ques tion is settled for the next Presidential canvass have been taking counsel of Mr. Randall rather than of Mr. Carlisle. The former predicts that the question is settled for the next ten years, while the latter says the recent act is "hodge podge," and that "the next House will take up the matter and pass a genuine revenue reform bill ." People who send valuable articles wrapped up to resemble newspapers in order to save postage need never be surprised when they find that no trace of their gifts can be found. The ease with which such things are detected by postal clerks would astonish most people, and the articles are sent at once to the Dead Letter Office. A GOOD AND TRUE MAN GONE. iThe press' dispatches last night an nounce the death at Milton, of C. N. B. Evans, editor of the Chronicle, and one of the oldest editors in North Carolina, having been for forty years or more di rectly connected with the press of tbe state. He returned from Raleigh.wbere hie was representing his county, Cas well, in the Senate, in ill health, but no serious apprehensions were entertained and the unexpected- announcement of his death comes as a surprise. Mr. Evans was born in South Carolina, in which Stale he learned-the art Of print ing, and in early life moved to this State,working for some time in Raleigh afterwards publishing the Greensboro Patriot, and about the year 1841 estab lished the Milton Chronicle, which he published until the close of the war. In 1866 he moved to Danville.Va.,wher he was associated' with P. Boldin in the publication of the Times. In 1868 he returned to Milton and revived the Chronicle, which he continued to pub lish until 1870 or 1871 when he bought the Hillsboro Recorder, and in connec tion with his son, Captain T. C. Evans, how editor of the Reidsville Times, published that journal until about 1873 when he again returned to Milton, and re establishing the Chronicle remained there until the time of his death. In all these many years, through all the different mutations and phazes of fortune he maintained a spotless integ rity, and sought rather the advance ment of his State's weal than his own interests. While a partisan he was never so for the sake of partisanship, and when his party was in hi3 estima" tion wrong he critized and condemned with a boldness and candor that some times led hi3 party fidelity to bs ques tioned by those who did not know the man or appreciate his devotion to right. There was no selfishness in him, and while in the days of political recon struction he could have promoted his j fortunes by going with the current he j stuck to principle and remained poor. He despised shams of all sorts, and over the signature of Jesse Holmes,the Fool Killer, struck them wherever he could find them. He had a keen sense of humor, and a cheerfulness that re mained with him under all circum stances. As an evidence of appreciation he was unanimously nominated to repre sent his senatorial district in the State Senate, without solicitation and with out a canvass, elected. As a represen tative he was honored and respected, voting always from a sense of duty and never for clap trap or under popular pressure. For true worth, sterling manhood, incorruptible integrity.devotion to duty,. State and country, no man of all who dwell within North Carolina's borders, stood before the venerable G N B Evans, who after a life of unrequited labor, now sleeps the sleep that comes to the honest toiler. Green be his grave and honored his name. . Philadelphia press: The Senate, when it" amended" Judge Kelly's care fully drawn Internal Revenue law, by drawing one of its own, made a botch of it at two points. The House bill was clear as to the time when back . ...... . taxes snouiastop; cue senate maae me repeal apply to "taxes then due and pay able," and as the law passes midway be tween the two semi-annual points when the tax is due no one knows whether the tax paid January 1 last or "due and payable" July 1 next is the last tbe banks are.to pay. As nearly $2,500,000 are involved, nothing short of a lawsuit or fresh legislation is like ly to settle the matter. Congressman Morrison, ofilllinois says the Democrats will certainly re open; the tariff question at the next ses sion of Congress. The River Falling, bat Sweeping Car rents. Doing Inestimable Damage. . Helena, Ark, March 10. The river has declined half an inch and will pro bably continue to fall slowly for seve ral days, when a more rapid decline is expected. The levees are still being strengthened and will be made thor oughly secure in this vicinity. The backwater is still rising in the over flowed districts belowr. This Will con tinue until the decline in the river is great enough to draw the water back through the crevasses. The most ter rific currents, the roar of which can be heard here during still hours of the night, are leading through the country below, carrying destruction with them. In Old Town lake region the water is higher than ever before known, the losses to planters being greater than, ever before from the same cause. Cabins, fences and dead carcasses of animals are to be seen floating down the river in great numbers. A Big Blow. Boston, March 10 2 :30 p m. A spe cial from Newport says that a tremen doue sea is running here. The tides are very high and now reach to tbg top of the wharf plates. Many residents are extremely nervous. The surf roars as it has not done for years, and spouting rock is sending up columns of water to an unusual height A telegram from Highland Light says the wind is south east and fresh. The indications are that a heavy gale is coming on. . Weather. Washington, March 10. Middle At lantic, rain or snow, followed by colder, clearing weather, northwesterly winds, higher pressure. South Atlantic, fair weather, south west veering to northwest winds, sta tionary or lower temperature, higher pressure. Advancing the Price of Pig Iron. Cincinnati, March 10 The princi pal coke furnaces of Alabama and Ten nessee which, through their offices here, supply most of the pig iron used in Cin cinnati and the tributary markets in the west, to-day advanced the prices of all grades of pig iron from 50 cents to 01 per ton above the figures of the past three weeks.

Money issued and used to build monu ments of peace, thereby giving employ ment, to labor, would produce more lasting and beneficial results than mon ey expended in war and the destruction of property." The total discharge of the Mississippi during the flood of 1882 was 2,200,000 cubic feet per second, and it was them estimated that the Atchafalaya carried off one-sixth of the volume of the river. This year the Atchafalaya is discharg ing at the rate of 600,000 cubic feet per second, equivalent to 30 per cent, or nearly one-third of the volume of the Mississippi, having more than doubled its overflow since last year. Here is a danger that is threatening and immediate. AN INTERESTING DECISION. The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the States of New York and New Hampshire against the State of Louisi ana, to recover payment of special tax bonds which those States had'purchias ed from individual citizens, or which, more likely, had been turned over by individual citizens to those States, is of interest to North Carolina as well as to Louisiana. In brief Judge Waite ren dering the opinion says the suit insti tuted by those States places them aim p y in the attitude of collecting agents for their citizens, which they could not become, and that one sovereign State could not be sued by another sovereign State in the capacity of a collecting agent. It will be remembered that during the political campaign of last summer it was charged that if the Republicans, or Liberals, got into power there would be an effort made to recognize the va lidity of the $20,000,000 of repudiated special tax bonds, and that an effort would be made to get the case into tbe United States courts, and judgments rendered to compel their payment. There was some reason for this for it is well known that a number of these bondholders had organized a mutual protective association, and by assess ment had funds raised to carry this question through the courts. Their programme was substantially that pur sued in the case of the Louisiana bond holders, that is, turn over their Claims by an understanding , with the State, and have the State institute suit in the : Federal courts or recovery. They had ' counted pretty confidently upon being ' able to do this, of course not then an ticipating 2 the 'adverse position ; that would be taken by the Supreme iooOt. ' If a legislature had been elected which would have pronounced in favor of the validity of the bonds, while of no legal , ' force, it was thought it might simplify matters somewhat and hold out tbe Idea that they were going into the ' , courts with a just and valid claim. At i all events they had certainly made up their minds to test the ; mattein the courts, and put their States forward to " stand in their shoes. But . this decision . " the! Supreme Jcourt Jnterferea )wIth that programme, and makes the sp eclal tax bonds a rather poor Investment. ; HOW FAR PROTECTION OUGHT TOGO. ' We clip the following remarks on the tariff from the Baltimore Sun: The differenceagainst the American manufacturer in the labor market and in favor of the European manufacturer is estimated at about 20 per cent., ac cording to the most impartial investi gators. A tariff rate adding an aver age rate of 20 per ceut. to the price of all imported manufactures would, therefore, put the American manufac turer on an equal footing with his for eign competitor. The moderate protec tionist and the "tariff for reyenue" peo ple say: "We need revenue, let us give him tbe 20 percent, tax to enable him to meet the difference between wages here and in England." The "high tariff men" say : "We want more than 20 per cent, because we want to make more money out of the people." As the av erage rate fixed by the tariff bill pub lished in the Sun of yesterday is about 40 per cent, it will be seen that the country is perhaps paying too much to enable these gentlemen to accumulate fortunes easily. How it bears on the average citizen may be iudeed by con sidering that for every dollar he would, without a tarifE, pay for the following articles, be, under the present tariff, pays the number of cents here named additional: Steel 45 cents; iron 40; pots, kettles, hollow "ware 53; copper and bronze utensils 45; earthenware and crockery 60; glassware 40; table cutlery 35; sugar 50; vinegar 32; oran ges 20 price 100; penknives 35; pins 30; needles 25; mirrors 35; furniture 35; linens 35; cotton-cloth 40; flannels and blankets and hats 75; spool thread 75; hose, stockings, shirts, drawers 40; men's clothing 50 ; women's dress goods 60; carpets 40. It is for each citizen to judge for himself whether be favors this increase of the cost of tbe articles of his daily use or consumption, or whether he should prefer, instead of a merely prohibitory tax for protection to have the same revenue raised by a lower tariff rate "for revenue only." This is substantially Hon Abram S Hewitt's position. He holds that the only protection which the American manufacturer needs and should ask, is a tariff equivalent to the difference in the cost of labor In Europe and in this country which would place him upon an equal footing with the foreign man ufacturer, and which, while yielding the government all the revenue it would require, would so reduce the price of American manufactures as to greatly inciease the consumption at home and abroad. With the increased demand and the wider markets that would be opened with foreign coun tries, the profits of our manufacturers wouldbe largely increased with far less danger of glutted markets and con sequent bankruptcy than now exists. Notwithstanding the high tariff protec tion, there are weekly records of the failure of large establishments that, de pending upon such protection, are try ing to do business and compete in the markets while circumstances are against them, and they keep on manu facturing goods, the high prices of which reduces the number .of buyers, and leaves the goods in their hands. With an increased home market and tbe markets of the world thrown open which would be the result of a low tar iff, there is a future before American enterprise which it will never realize under tbe mistaken notions of exorbi tant protection.

M49. B. N. BOLTON. & oown Town Merchant, Having passed several sleepless nights, disturb ed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child, .and becoming convinced that Mrs. Wmslow's Soothing Syrup was Just the article needed, pro cured a supply for the child. On reaching home and acquainting his wire with what ne nan none, she refused to have It administered to the child, as she was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy. That night the chfld paed in suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning home the day following, the father found the baby still worse; and while contemplating another sleepless night, the mother stepped from the room to attend to some domestic duties, and left the father with, the child. During her absence he administered a por tion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and hap py. The mother was delighted with the, sudden and wonderful change, and although at first offend ed aUhe deception practiced upon her, bas con tinued to use the Syrup. and suffering crying babies and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the baby, and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle. FINANCIAL.
