"The Democratic party in North
Carolina is fully committed to the
repeal of the internal revenue laws
Onr public speakers have advocated
he measure from the stump, our
newspapers have done" likewise in
"tirint. our, State conventions have
embodied the idea in several plat
forms and the present Legislature
passed a resolution instructing our
'members in Congress to vote for the
abolition of the internal revenue
I system. Our Congressmen will,
. without exception we suppose, obey
these instructions. We know that
Col. C'owles will. Having done this
the North Carolina Democracy will
have redeemed its pledges and done
its duty. It will have exerted all of.
its influence in the direction of the
abolition. Still it is very doubtful
if the next Congress, being Demo
cratic, will repeal these obnoxious
laws. With us and with some of
il - .
Ijthe neighboring States this has been
jand is a very live issue and the re
peal is heartily desired, -but the",
Democracy as a National party, will
be found in favor of retaining the
system, we think. We may be mis
taken.! but that is the way it looks;
now, taking in view the decidedly
hostile stand assumed by the last
House of Representatives against
abolition. Seme high tariff Demo
crats outside of 'North Carolina,
we mean, for low tariff men favor
abolition here and a few high tariff j
Republicans will be in favor of abol-i
; ishing the system root' and branch,
in order to, throw the whole burden'
, o Federal, taxation upon the tariff
system, thus keeping the rate of
duty up. As a general rule tariff
reform Democrats and tariff reform
Republicans of whom there are
many in the West will favor a re-j,
tention of the revenue laws. So,
when it comes to a votain Congressj
the abolition of the internal revenue
i
laws will probably fail. " We, iri
North Carolina, are or seem to be of
one mind on this subject. We want
it abolished and our Congressmen!
will work and vote to that end. The
prospect of success seems to be poor
andjve may as well look the ques
tion squarely in the. face. If Con-j
gress should turn the matter over to
us to decide, we should vote to abol
ish. But, upon this condition:
That a State tax, and a heavy ' one,
. should be imposed upon distilled
spirits in the interest of education.
A distinction should be made be
tween food ,nd raiment and other
necessities and such a "luxury" m
whiskey and it should be made ar
expensive luxury by a special tax.
Every time a man takes' a drink h
should drink to the advancemen
, and upbuilding of the public schools!
In the meanwhile, however, we sjial
hold . tne new Collector, Major
Dowd, and the officers under him
to a strict enforcement of the laws.
President Cleveland will do . that
. but, as a public journalist, we ishal
wink at no slinshod work bv Demo
cratic officials. As long, as the: jtel
enue laws are on the statute books
they must be enforced equitably. No
overriding of private rights can be
suffered ; the revenue service musi
not ; be a. political machine ; and
when revenue officers break the laws
of 'the State they are to be tried in
the. State courts. There; must be no
more fictions as to unlawful acts
committed "in the discharge of
official - duties." Indeed, these
things have added much to the odi-
. um attaching to the revenue service
The reappointment of II. G
Pearson to be postmaster at Nej
York has occupied much of the
public attention at Washington
We must confess that we entertain!
ed a hope that Mr. Pearson would
be requested to step down and outj
but the President was moved to re
appoint him because he had made a
good officer, had not used his office
as a political machine and was
strongly backed by the Independent
Republicans to whom he owes much
for his Vote in New York. It was a
disappointment to many good Demi;
ocrats, in New York, some of the ;
leaders going so far as : to predict j
that it will lose the State to the
Democrats in the next election. . On
the'pther hand well posted Repubj
licans say it is a stroke of policy
that it closes their mouths in chargj
ing that Cleveland disregards the
civil service rules and that it will
draw around the President's stands
ard thousands of liberal Republicans
who Toted for Blaine under protest;
At any rate the President avows that
this U an exceptional case and is not
to b3 repeated.
We had intended to speak more
at length upon the subject of the
sale of whiskey in Lenoir township,
but lack of space forbids it this
week. ; It is charged that there are,
more than one set of men in Lenoir
township selling whiskey openly un
der a Revenue license. They have
no State or county license because
the commissioners will not iasue
license . for the sale of whiskey in
that township, being a prohibition
township. This is spitting in the
face of the commonwealth of North
Carolina and the proper officers
should see that they are suppressed
at once.,
We. are very glad indeed I that
Russia had the good sense to back
squarely down before the rising
bristles of the British lion, thus
brushing the war-cloud aside.

! We are reliablvj informed that the
Governor has determined to appoint
and will commission on his return
from New Orleans, Col. D. Worth
ington, of Martin county, as solici
tor of the third judicial district and
V. j-H. Bower, Est., of Caldwell
county, as solicitor of the 10th dis
trict. ! - .
; These will be fine appointments
"and wil afford the people of the
districts more particularly interested
speqial ' gratification.' Both gentle
men are lawyers of decided ability
and 'men of energy tact and cour
tesy. They will make officers of the
first order. j
Mr. Bower was born in likes
county, June 6th, 1850, and was
educated at the Einley High school,
Lenoir, Caldwell county. He read
law under Col. G. N. Folk, of
Lenoir, and obtained to liceqse prac
tice. In 1876 he emigrated to Cali
fornia, but returned to the State in
1880, and since that time has resid
ed at Xenoir. As a member of.the
House in 1883 he made his mark as
a man of wisdom and eloquence and
this reputation j Jfie admirably main- I
tained as a Senator in the last as
sembly. He is, one of the State's
young nien of brightest promise.
Ve congratulate the people on the
determination of the Governor to
appoint these gentlemen.
: . Russia Cordially
j London, April L The Pall
Mali Gazette this afternoon states
that Russia's answer to England's
proposals on theT Afghan question
amounts to a cordial acceptance. of
the proposals as made by Earl Gran
ville, British foreign minister. The
Gazette says that Russia consents to
accept as debatable territory the zone
lam out as sucn oy ngiauu, ana
accepts the principle that the fron
tier line shall not be drawn further
south than Karezelias and Chame
nibeid, or further north than Shir
tepe and Sarivai,
"This -leaves as the only point
still to be discussed the Russian sug
gestion that it would be more prac
tical if the zone of survey overlap-
Eed the roughly, defined zone of de
atable land, in order to allow for
topographical and ethnographical
conditions. It is not expected,
that this expected extension of
the zone of survey to the south of
the boundary line run by M. Lessar,
the Russian commissioner, appoint
ed to meet Sir Peter Lumsden, the
British commissioner, to arrange the
Afghan boundary dispute, will be
serious enough to cause further dif
ficulty." The Apple Prospect.
Probably no apple in the world
can surpass the Limbertwig for the
various qualities of "keeping," fla
vor, &c.; It is just unequalled as a
good, every-day, homespun fruit.
The Caldwell Limbertwigs are as
good as the best and none are better
than those raised in the Brushy
Mountains and on John's River and
Mulberry.
The farmers in those sections have
already large orchards bearing pro
lifically and we doubtless fall short
of the mark when we put the Cald
well apple crop at 100,000 "bushels.
As an instance, D. D. Coffey har
vests 1,000 bushels nearly every
year
As the old trees become barren
they are replaced by young ones and
new orchards are set out. Within
5 years at least 5,000 young trees
have been set out on Mulberry alone.
