Under the present tariff $2o8,201, 133 worth o articles pay a tariff tax of $139,852 G32, tho average per cei'fige of taxation a to these arti c'.ts boiug 5i per cent. $79,879,108 worth of these a tides whicb for the ir rent year paid taxes of $22,189,- have been put on the free- list by the Mills bill. Tlafle&vcs S17S,329,0-18 of goods which pay taxes this year of $117, GC3,127. The average rate of taxa tion as to these is CG per cent. By tbe Mills biJl this rate of taxition is reduced to 48 and a tbird per cent As theEe articles pay taxes to the amount of $117,CG3,127 It is proposed to romit 131,830,000, and leave them to pay $86,132,185 of taxes. The re duction by the repeal of the tobacco tax and special taxes is estimated at $24,455,000. But the point we wish to make is that under the Mills bill the taxes on $178,327,000 worth of imports is at the rate of nearlv 50 per eent. The old protectionists thought 10 per cent was high enough, but now they are not satisfied with 50 per cent; and if we let them a'one in a few years they would not be Ba'isfiod with 150 per cent. The open, plain road to reform is to make the. cut at once. The New York Herald 6ays: "And yet when we look well into Boulauger we see a soldier who never planned a campaign ; an orator who never made a speech ; a statesman who has never formed a policy. We see a vivacious, vain, ostentatious, nasny boulevard hero. A Bohemian Bonaparte, who would probably throw France into i war costing her Burgundy and Cham pagne, in addition to Alsace and Lior raine. And yet it is by sucn men that the destinies of nations are some times directed, frequently with evil result but oftentimes wisely. Exqhiey is made for a likeness of Gen. Caswell, the first Governor of the State of North Carolina. Can any one suggest where one cau be found? ' Endangering Lives for Months. Kow York World. L,: There was a rush of people across CLiatham Square into East Broadway a few minutes after midnight Satur day in response to three screams of "murder." A boy was twisting and turning near a telegraph, pole before a restaurant at No. 10, and before help arrived, 'as told in yesterday's World, fell dead. Sparks flew from the pole as a telegraph wire that had been clutched in the boy's hands swung against it. Some of tbe crowd supposed that the lad had been seized with a fit and were about to pick him up when otherB cried: "Look out for the wire." l'ol ceman Mullen picked up the boy dead. An ambulance Bur geon said the electric wires had killed him. No one in the neighborhood knew the lad, and his body, together with a tin box filled with cheap jew- eiry, was lascn to me Jtourtn pre-i cinct Btation house, leeterday morn ing it was recognized as that of Mayer Strieffer, fifteen years of age, of No. 40 Forsyth street. He was a pedler. There were no marks left by the electricity on tbe boy's clothing. A few minutes after the boy had been killed three men, linked arm in arm, came out of a saloon on Catha rine street, near East Broadway. One of! them was taken with a fit of illness afid his companions led him to the oairb. All three were drunk, but they were sobered very quickly when one of them tried to support himself by catcbing hold of a telegraph pole, for they dropped to tbe walk and shrieked for help. They were supposed to have caught hold of the end of a telegraph wire that bad crossed an electric lamp wire. p&o o them, Edgar Norm, a druggist, of No. 1610 Tenth avtnue, had his nose cut by the fall, aed he was so badly shaken np that he had to be removed to the Chambers Street Hospital. He was able jesterday morning to go home. $he telegraph wire which killed Strieffer has been dangling about the pole for over six months. Alongside of the telegraph pole is a pole of the United States Eiecf.ric Light Com pany, with a dozen wires i n it. Each wire supplies thirty or mo e lighs. Saturday Western Union linemen, who had been at work on the pole, unfastened the disused section of tne telegraph wire and carelessly allowed it to swing over the electric light wire. The telegraph wire is supposed to have caught the electricity from an improperly insulated liht wire and the boy, passing by and seizing the danglirg piece, received theiufi charge. The telegraph wire was guarded, by a policeman, after the accident, until it was cut. The Thomasville Gazett-. rela es a very remarkable instance.

KdUor of the ATeics and Observer: Sia : S nee yon have kindly thrown your columns open to the Democrats of North Uarouua lor an expression of their Opinion ns to the proper can didates for ofliae, permit me to ex press what I behe to be the opinion of this section of the State for Audi tor.; No doubt many names have been suggested through your paper out of mere compliment. But it is Out of no msre compliment that we present the nam 3 of Mr. F. F. Co- boon- We present him to the Demo cratic party because we bslieve he possesses thoee qualities which are most needed in the cmincr contest It is a well known fact that the Re publican pirty throughout tho Union erw Claiming JNortn tJaruuca, ana luaz they will put forth every effort to make their claim good We mist therefore look for a determined and vigorous fight on the part of our ad versaries aud prepare to meet it. The strongest barrier which wo cau erect is thorough organization. Mr. Co hoan possesses this power to organize in a pre-eminent de eo. Six years ago ho offered himself far sheriff in this county, whose clear Republican majority had heretofore been from 50.) to 600. His election seemed almost beyond the pale of possibility; yet he defeated his opponent, and likewise in 18S4. :In 18SG he carried Pasquotank county by a majority exceeding GOO Mr. Cohoon Las frequently been con sulted by mombers of t he Congres sional, judicial and lienatori-.l execu tive ooiiiiuitteeis of his district, and his advice baa inva iably produced good results. Possessing every abil ity ueeetssary for the ofth-e, and like wise this power to organize, the peo ple of this section believe he is TV man for the olliee of Auditor, and tlfat he will : bring more strength to the ticket than any other man i bat can be named. Pasqcotaxk. Mills Spuing, N. ' . Editor Xt iei and Observer. Will you allow a western Democrat to speak his . choice for Governor through your columns, if so, I desire to recommend "the name of Judge Fowle a9 tbe man. It is conceded on all hands Ahat we have a hard fight before us and to win thei vieto ry it is very important that we place the name of a man at the head of the State ticket who can defend Demo cratic principles and we know of none who can excel Jrdge Fowle. Bo sido we as a party owe it to him for his deOtion to the parry. In every emergency he has beeu ready at the call of the part v to leave his home and business and go forth in the de tense ot our pnncip es, and row when we have the opportunity let us show our appreciation of his services by placing his name at the head of our State ticket and the victory is ours. . A Western Democrat. Mr. Gilead, N. C. Mk. Editor: We want to know the sentiments of the State as to the best man for Governor. I thiuh I Bpeak the Bentiments of a large ma jority of people of this county when I eay Judge D. G- Fowio is the man for Goytruor of North Carolina. Yours, very truly, Geo. W M. i Mr. Amy, N. C. Ma. Editob : While our people are divided as to who the Democracy should nominate for Governor at the approaching convention, I have no hesitancy in saying that tbe choice of at least three-fourths of them is Daniel G. Fowle. Surry Democrats will fupport the ticket, yet we are satisfied Julge Fowle is much stronger in this county and in the eutire State than any of the candi dates now mentioned. If nominated he can make a canvass that will rally to the polls the entire Democratic vote of,N jrth Carolina, and in addi tion will rally to the support of the ticket a large number of independent voters. Sukbv. Bbiskleyville, N. C. Jfessrs. Editors Ntnos and Observer ; la looking over the columns of your valuable paper I notice many names mentioned as proper candidates for Governor, While I would not de tract from the merits of any, there is one man I am fully assured who has a large following in this patriotic old county of Halifax; a man whose pa triotism, love cf constitutional liberty and powers of oratory cannot be sur passed, a man who ere this -should have received the highest honors at the hapds of the peopio of North Car olina. I allude to Judge Daniel G. Fowle. I am dure he could carry as many votes in this county or even more than any man who could be nominated, and the people of this county would be enthused at his nom ination. Whatever may , be said for others, I aria fully of the opinion tbat Halifax county's vote in the State convention should be cast for Judge Fowle While antagonizing no man, these are the Bentiments of many with whom I have conversed, and of yours for Democratic success.
