VORK ON COUNTY GOVERN- MEJiT. One of the main planks in the so- called Liberal as well as in the Re publican platform is opposition to the present system of county govern ment. They rely upon this chiefly for the votes they hope to get in the centre and western portions of the State . Dr. York, the standard bearer of the Republican-liberal combina tion, was a member of the Legisla ture when the present system was adopted and supported it cordially. The Raleigh News, which has been investigating the record as to how York voted, says: He voted for the measure every time and veted against every motion which trie Republicans made for the purpose of delay or to defeat the bill. He voted plump against the proposi tion to elect the rragistrates by the people. That was in the Legislature of 1876-77. The Democrats of Wilkes county returned him to the nexc Legislature, and we find him in 1879 a member of the House. On January 22, 1879, page of journal 112, "H. B. 141, a bill to amend an act entitled an act to establish county government," was put on its second reading. Mr. Hines moved to lay on the table. Mr. Nor ment demanded the yeas and nays yeas 66, York voting to lay on the table; nays 47. So, after having had two years to think of it, Dr. York still stood by this measure. And again did the people of Wilkes elect him to the Legislature, and we find him in the Senate of the session of 1881, where he still maintained his position as a strong supporter of the county government system. Indeed from the beginning to the end Dr. York has been strenuous in the advo cacy of this measure because, as he said, it gave his people a much better government than they ever had be fore. We are a little curious to know how the Doctor will wriggle out of this when confronted with his votes as shown upon the record. With such a record he is hardly a fit champion to put out to fight a thing which he took such an active part not only in creating but in preserving. As such champion he appears with about as much grace and consistency as tiie revenue collectors, gaugers, store keepers, &c, do in advocating the abolition of the internal revenue sys tem. But consistency is one of the things that don't enter into their calculations. As a matter of fact, they are about as sincere in their opposition to the county government system as they are in their pretended desire for the abolition of the internal revenue system, which they have no idea will be abolished, and which they pretend to favor simply for clap-trap, to humbug somebody and thus hope to steal votes which they could not oth erwise get. But they are not fooling anybody much now on this line, the humbuggery being too thin and trans parent to deceive people who have watched the manipulations of the managers and seen the cat jump. The people don't take much stock in this kind of political bargaining, the act uating spirit of which is so palpable and the object of which is not reform or better government, but simply the spoils and the offices which the trad ers hope to secure. Neither principle nor patriotism enter into it, nothing but simple, cold blooded, mercenary trading, trading for the votes of the people they believe to be led and humbugged by such arrant trickery. It won't work. The whole thing is too thin. Alabama has now 23 cotton mills, Georgia 62, North Carolina 92, South Carolina 81, Tennessee 33, Virginia 14, Maryland 24, Louisiana 7, Missis sippi 11, Texas 6, Kentucky 5, Ar kansas 4, and Florida 2. These mills were returned in the census of 1880 as producing 121,000,000 worth of cotton goods ; but the product of 1884 is estimated at $35,000,000 to 40,- 000,000. In none of the Northern States have the Republicans elected any colored men as delegates to the national con vention, though several have been elected as alternates. In the South the Republicans have elected some colored delegates with white men as alternates, in this respect reversing tl.e proceeding of the Northern Re publicans. A meeting of the stockholders of N. W. N. C. Railroad Company, from , Greensboro to Winston, was held at Greensbero Tuesday. Report of the Officers showed the earnings to be for the years 1877 to '83 inclusive, gross $360,065.12; expenses, $178,517.17; net Jottings, $181,547.95. This is doing Drettv well for a road not quite 80 ; miles long. A good subject for the artists pen oil would be the Liberal leaders, he roically struggling in company with Dr. Mott and the revenue ring, for J the preservation-arid perpetuation of 'Christian civilization." The Kentucky legislature, after a very long session, will adjourn next Monday. One of the members con gratulates the people on the fact-that while the legislature has passed no good bills it has killed some very bad ones. It is said that two-thirds of the mules in the Egyptian army are use less. From the way the Arabs get away with it about three-thirds of the Egyptian army is in about the same fix the mules are. Watterson is in bad luck. Congress killed the whiskey bill, his copyright bill was choked, and now the Morri son bill is laid out cold in death. This is too too much. The indications point to Gen. A. M. Scales as the gentleman whose privi lege it will be to send Mr. York back to the shades of private life. Mr. John Jacob Astor has donated $200,000 to the Cancer Hospital in New York. Dr. York and the Western North Caro lina Railroad. Baleigh News and Observer. Nine counties of the State of North Carolina embracing the fine Western region which is now attracting so much attention were long denied all railroad facilities. Asheville was inaccessible and the produce raised by farmers across the mountains found no ready means of transporta tion to the markets of the world. The splendid timber of that region was beyond the reach of purchasers. Indeed, hemmed in by the mountains, those North Carolinians across the Blue Rid :e wei e cu . off most effec tually from the balance of the State. They were entitled to railroad facili ties and the liberal, patriotic men of North Carolina were anxious that their wishes should be gratified and that their needs should be supplied. Dr. York, however, was never friendly to that road. He always opposed it. He was unwilling to see that road built. He was unwilling for the people across the mountains to have railroad facilities. Turn to page 25y, senate journal, l7b-77, where 'senate bul b7, to provide for the speedy completion of the Western North Carolina Railroad," was taken up on the second reading. Theje was a proposition offered to appropri ate $140,000 for the road, and Dr. York moved to amend as follows: "Strike out one hun ired and forty thousand dollars and insert one dol lar." Think of that! One dollar! That was adding insult to injury. His amendment was voted down. There was an amendment offered by Senator J. L. Robinson, allowing the Governor to purchase such iron rails and materials as might be needed each year. Failing in his "one dollar" proposition. Dr. York moved to amead and limit the amount of this expenditure to $50,000 a vear. Mr. Troy moved to make the limit $70,- 000. Jjr. xork voted against Mr. Troy's amendment, which, however, was adopted, and then he voted against Mr. Robinson's proposition, as amended. On the passage of the bill on the second reading Dr. York voted in the negative. He voted against the bill. He was unwilling to help build the Western North Carolina Railroad. On page 305, of the same Senate journal, this bill came up on the sec ond reading. Dr. York moved to strike out "seventy thousand" and insert "fifty thousand" as the amount that could be spent to buy iron, &c, each year. His motion was lost. He then offered a proviso to that section, limiting its operations to two years. lie knew that the road could not be built for $140,000. He knew that the road could not be built in two years, and yet he offered a proviso which if adopted would have stopped the work in two years. Me voted tor his pro viso, which however was voted down. On the passage of the bill on its third reading Dr. York again voted square- y against it. Other quotations rrom Dr. lorks record in regard to the construction of this great work of internal im provements could be made, but these suffice. They show his animus. These votes illustrate that he was op posed to the construction of this work ; that he had no desire to aid the people across the mountains in obtaining railroad facilities; that he did not sympathize with their earn esflonging to develop their western section. He favored a very poor pol icy. If he had had his way the work would have stopped at Old Jb ort. It would never have crossed the moun tains. He would have denied to the good people across the Blue Ridge all hope of opening up the country to the world. Such was the height of his statesmanship. How ridiculous ! But his policy did not triumph. The Democratic party was not governed by such narrow conceptions of jus tice to the west. They appropriated $70,000 annually and carried the work on slowlv until practically and substantially that great road is built. And every cent of that money, with the interest on it, nas Deen paid oack to the State, and because it has been paid back into the State treasury there are to be no taxes this year. So this work cost us nothing, jnow, let us see the benefits. The counties that have been directly benefited by this road, up to the present, are Bun combe, Haywood and Madison. The iron has not yet been laid in the other counties, but will be before Septem ber. We make below a comparison of the valuation of property for taxation in these three counties, "before and after" in 1878, before they had rail road facilities, and 1883, alter they had begun to enjoy the benefits and advantages of railroad connections : Counties. 1878. 1883. Buncombe, $2,026,594 $4,014,441 Haywood, 718,018 1,559,897 Madison, 518,617 1,140,105 Total, $3,263,229 $6,714,443 The total valuation of property in these three counties in which the railroad track is now laid, was, after a hundred years without railroad facilities, $3,263,029. In five years after thev had a solid hope of getting a road, tne value of the property more than doubled I The railroad has added to the property in theae coun ties $3,350,000. The prosperity whioh has attended this growth was pre dicted by all men all understood chat railroad facilities would bring this ereat development. But yet Dr. York was willing to withhold this opportunity for. development from his fellow citizens across the moun tains. Such is the record of the man the revenue ring has nominated for Uovernor oi JNorth uaroiina. THE STATE OF FLORIDA collides with a Bark in Mid Ocean and Both Vessels Sank. New York, May 7.

Since 1850 it has on an Average Made Every Man Double His Work. The following statistics from the census show some valuable and sug gestive results to those who will think about them. Persons employed in the various pursuits in the United States : Agriculture 3.323.876 Stock-herding 24,098 Manufacturing, &c 3,502,889 Mining 234.228 Railroading 236,058 Ti ansportation 177, 586 Not specified 1,859,223 Domestic servants 1,075,655 Manulacturing gives emplovment to more persons than agriculture. ihe lolkming statement shows wages paid, material used, capital employed, and product of manufac turing establishments since 1850 : Average Year. number Wages, employed. 1880.... 2,738,895 $947,953,795 1870.... 2,053,996 I 775,854,343 I860.... 1,311,247 378,878,966 1850 957.059 236,755,464 It will be seen that although the number of operatives employed in leu was not quite three times as great as the number in 1850, the wages paid them is more than four time as great. In other words the increase in wages has been more rapid than the increase of the number of workmen. In 1850 the material used in manu facture in the United States were worth $555,123,822. In -1880 they were worth $3,396,823,549. While, therefore, the increase in the number of workmen was not quite 300 per cent., the increase in the materials used was about 600 per ceni. In other words, machinery has on the average enabled every man to use twice as much material, that is, to do twice as much work in 1880 as in 1850. A little careful work like these comparisons, made from the census figures, otten shows very interesting results. IIorsTord's Acid PhospUate. As an Appetlz. r.
