The Railroad Question
is exeitingjnttch interest, and the pro
posed scheme has provoked the opposi
tion of some person who has taken no
pains to examine into the subject. A
circular has been issued by this un
known individual in which he warns
voters to oppose the enterprise. Of
course an auonymous circular sent out
in this way presenting no facts or argu
ment should have no weight with the
people. The address rm Wished on first
page of this paper headed "Railroad
Election Facts for the people," was
caref ully prepared by a number of the
most conspicuous and reliable citizens
of Salisbury, and presents the facts on
which voters may safely base their ac
tion. Uead it, fellow citizens, and re
member that we now have an opportu
nity to advance the prosperity of the
county, which, if lost, may never re
tarn. No Trading.
The failure of the Democractic
voters of the State to turn out at the
kite election has resulted in al
most a defeat of the party in the Legis-
lature. But tJiey not only dm not
turn out as they might have done, but
m many counties they voted tor in
dependents," of whom a number large
enough were elected to produce serious
complications in the lower House.
These "independents," if they should
stand together, will hold the balance of
power in the House, and may turn the
scales tor or against tne democrats,
just as they please. The Democratic
people of the State have inflicted upon
themselves this humiliating situation,
and may fairly expect to bear the con
sequences of it in hindrances to the
public business.
Cluverius' Statement
This unhappy man is out in what
is termed a statement of how and where
his time was spent while in Richmond
J mom iii i a
when Miss Madison met her deplora
ble end. It comes too late. He should
have made his "statement"' while on
trial for his life. The persons whom
he met, and with whom he spent the
time, according to his statement, should
have been called as witnesses at the
trial; and if they were not, there is no
reason shown why they were not; and
if they were called to the stand and
failed to relieve him of the charge of
murder then, it is contrary to the rules
of justice to admit them now, after a
protracted trial and the verdict of a
jury for days employed in the investi
gation of the case. No, no, Cluverius
should not be permitted to escape by
any statement which fails to prove his
innocence beyond dispute.

Steam vs. the Deer.
A fine buck was seen on a rail road
track in New York: recently at a place
where he was obliged to keep the track,
outrun the train or be run over. He
lifted his tail and went off ahead ot
the train in a confident style; but the

in striking and capturing the deer,
which afforded a venison feast tp the

Crushed by the Snow.
There was considerable damage done

Itiis said that a man cannot remem

physically exhausted by labor or exer
cise; but that rest and nutrition is a
remedy for this condition. The reader
can test the subject by promising to
pay a very tired man a dollar for hold
ing one end of a string while lie twists
the other. If the tired man never af
terwards asks for the dollar, why then
he has forgotten the promise and the
theory is true. If. however, after the
man has rested and been fed he should
insist oh having the dollar, then the
money and the theory are both gone.

Con rress and the President's Message.
The fiftieth Congress met last Mon
day. By 10 o clock members and
people began to meet in the halls and
galleries. The Senate and House were
called to order at noon, and the usual
religions services observed. Various
preliminary subjects and the reading of
the President's Message, came before
each body which occupied them until
3 o'clock, at which hour the two
Houses adjourned.
President Cleveland s message opens
with the usual survey of foreign relations,
and one third ot the message is devoted
to a discussion and review of foreign re
lations. Our government, he savs, has
consistently maintained its relations of
friendship toward all other powers and
neighborly interest toward those whose
possessions are contiguous to our own
Few question have arisen during the nasi
year with other governments, and none
of them are beyond the reach of settle
ment in friendly counsel. The cruel
TREATMENT OF IXOFFKNSIVE CHINESE,
In the far West is alluded to, and in speak
ing of a remedy, he says, the paramount
duty of maintaining public order and de
fending the interests of our own people
may require the adoption of measures of
restretions. But thev should not tolerate
the oppression of individuals of a specia
race. He urgently renews his recomineu
dation of legislation to carry into ellect
the
MEXICAN ROCIPROCITY TREATY
Of January, 1883, and prosposes to ir.it i
ate negotations wun Mexico lor a new
and large treaty of commerce and lcgisla
tion. Referring to the Cutting case he
pays : The incident has disclosed
claim of jurisdiction by Mexico novel in
our history whereby any onense commit
ted any where bv a foreigner is penal
In the place of its commission of which a
Mexican, is the object mav, if the onend
er be found in Mexico, be there tried and
punished in conformity with Mexican
laws. This jurisdiction was sustaincc
by the courts oi Mexico and approved
by the executive branch of that gov
erument upon the authority of a Mcx
ican statute, lhe appellate court in
releasing Mr. Cutting decided that the
abandonment of the complaint by
the Mexican citizen, aggrieved bv the
alleged crime (a libelous publication
removed tne oasis ot turtner prosecu
tion, and also declared justice to have
been satisfied by the enforcement of a
small part of the original sentence. The
admission of such a pretention, the Pres
ident argues, would be attended with
serious results, invasive of the jurisdic
tion of this government, and highly dan
gerous to our citizens in foreign lands
Therefore he has denied it and protested
against its attempted exercise, un warrant
ed by the principles of law and interna
tional usages. A sovereign has jurisdic
tion of offenses which take eflect within
his territory, although concocted or com
menced outside of it , but the right is de
uied of any foreign sovereign to punish a
citizen of the United States for an oflense
consummated on our soil in violation of
our laws, even though the oflense be
against a subject or such sovereign.
THE TARIFF7
and Jo this the President devotes a great
deal of space arguing that the necessity
lor a reduction ot the tantr is more urgen
than ever. The income of the govern
raent he says, by its increased volume
and through economies in its calculations
is now more than ever in excess of pub
lie necessities. The application of the
surplus to the payment of such portion
of the public debt as is now at our option
ouiyrvi iu i niiii l.-u inn! t . aim ii eonun
ued at the rate which has lately prevail
ed, would reduce that class of indebted
ness within less than one year from this
date. Thus a continuation of our present
revenue system would soon result in the
recept of an annual income much greater
than necessary to meet the government
expenses, with no indebtedness upon
which it could be applied. We should
then be confronted with a vast quantity
of money, the circulating medium of the
people hoarded in the treasury when it
should be in their hands or we should be
drawn into wasteful public extrava
gance with all the corruption and national
demoralization which follows in its train.
But it is not the simple existence of this
surplus and its threatened attendant evil
which furnishes the strongest argument
against our present scale of federal taxa
tion. Its worst phase is the exaction of
such a surplus through oppression of the
relations between the people and their
government, and a dangerous departure
from the rules which limit the right of
federal taxation. Good government, and
especially the government of every Amer
ican eitizen's boasts, has for its objects the
protection of every person within its eare
in tne greatest noerty consistent with the
good order of society and his perfect secu
rity In the enjoyment of his earnings
with the least possible diminution for
public needs, when more of the people's
substance is exacted through the form of
taxation than is necessary to meet the
jest obligations of the government, and
the expense of its economical adminis-
itra-. ion. Such exaction becomes ruthless
extortion and a violation of the funda-

as absolutely as if added to the price of
the things which supply their daily
wants: as if it was paid at fixed periods
to the tax gatherer.
I recommend that keeping in view all
these considerations, the increasing and
unnecessary surplus of national income,
annually accumulating, be released to the
people by an amendment to our revenue
aws, which shall cheapen the price of the
necessaries of Hie and give freer entrance
to such imported materials as by Ameri
can labor may be manufactured into mar
ketable commodities. Nothing can be
accomplished however in the direction of
this much needed reform unless the sub
ject is approached in a patriotic spirit of
devotion to the interests of the entire
country and with a willingness to yield
something for the public good, while on
the subject of tariff and revenue the Presi
dent especally directs the attention of Con
gress to the recommendations of the
Secretary of the Treasury, touching the
simple fixation and amendment of the
aws relating to the collection of reve
nues.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
Less space is devoted to the silver ques
tion this year than last, but his opposition
to colpulsory coinage is no less pronounc
ed, difference in the bullion price of
the standard dollar 941 cents when first
coined, and its bullion value 78 cents, on
lhe 30th of last November, certainly does
not indicate, the President says, that
compulsory coinage by the government
embraces the price of that commodity, or
secures uniformity in us value. fie has
seen no reason to change the views ex
pressed a year ago on the subject of com
pulsory coinage, and again urges its sus
pension on all the grounds contained in
his former recommendations reinforced
by the significant increase of our gold
exportation during the last year, and
for the further reasons that the more this
currency is distributed among the people
the greater becomes our duty to protect
it from disaster; and tliat we have an
abundance for all our needs, and that
there seems but little propriety in build
injr vaults to store such currencv when
the only pretense for its coinage is the
necessity of its use by the people as a
circulating medium.
THE NAVY.
The conditiou of our navy as shown by
the Secretarv)f that department should
challenge the earnest attention of Cun'.rre
The production in the United States of
armor and giin steel is a question which
it seems uecessary to settle at an early
day, if the ordered war vessels are to be
completed with those materials of home
manufacture. In the event that the pres
ent siuation of the Department forbids
to furnish such of this material now au
thorized, it shall fail to induce home
manufacturers to undertake the large ex
penditures required to prepare for this
new manufacture, and if no other steps
arc taken by Congress, at its coining ses
sion, the Secretary contemplates with
dissatisfaction, the necessity of obtaining
abroad the armor and the gun-steel for
the authorized ships. It would seem de
sirable, the President adds, that the
wants of the army and the navy, iu this
regard, should be met and that by unit
ing their contracts such inducements
might be offered as would result in the
domestication on these important in
terests. THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Postal service affairs show a marked
and gratfying improvement during the
past year. The increase of revenue is in
a gaining ratio over the increase of cost,
demonstrating the sufficiently ofthe pres
ent cheap rates of postage ultimately to
sustain the service.
OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBT
extension proposition, he says that Con
gress in considering the plan suggested
by the Secretary of the Interior, and
endorsed by the board of government
directors, the sole matters which should
be taken into account are, "The situa
tion of the Government as a creditor and
the surest wav to secure the payment of
the principal and interests of the debt."
OF INTER-STATE COMMERCE.
lie says "That by a recent decision of
Supreme Court of the United States, it
has been adjudged that the laws of the
several States are inoperative to regulate
rates of transportation upon a railroad.
If such regulation interferes with the rate
of carriage from one State into another,
this important field of control and regu
lation having been thus entirely unoccu
pied, the txpendiency of Federal action
upon the subject is worthy of considera
tion. THE LABOR QVESTION.
Of the relations of labor to capital, the
President thinks that when these differ
ences between employer and employed
reach such a stage as to result in the iu
interruption of commerce between the
States the application of arbitration by
the general government might be regard
ed as entirely within its constitutional
power, and he thinks we might reasona
bly hope that such arbitration, if eareful
ly selected, and if entitled to the confi
dence of the parties to be affected, would
be voluntarily called to the settlement of
controversies of less extent and not nec
essarily within the domain of Federal
regulation. The President recommends
as a plain duty on the part of the Gov
ernment the payment of a million and a
quarter dollars still due to the Freed
man's Savings Bank depositors. Civil
service reform is the last important topic
discussed in the message. The continued
operation of the civil service law he as
serts has added the most convincing
proofs of 4ts necessity and usefulness.
Every public officer who has a just idea
of his duty to the people testifies to the
value of this reform. Its staunehest
friends are found among those who un
derstand it best, and its warmest support
ers are those who arc restrained and pro
tected by its requirements. The mean
ing of such restraint and protection is not
appreciated by those who want place-
under the Government, regardless of
merit and elficiencv, nor by those who
insist that the selection for such places
should rest upon a proper credential
showing aetive partisan work.

The annual report of Col. William L.
Trenholm. Comptroller of the currency,
will suggest various amendments of the
national hank laws. The report win
state that three thousand -five hundred
and eighty national banks have been
organized, of which 2.858 are now in op
eration: of these 174 have been organized
during the past year, with a capital of
$21,000,000. Twenty-four banks went
into voluntary liquidation during the year,
one ceases to exist by expiration of char
ter and eight failed. Since the beginning
of the system in 1863 only 112 national
bank haveJailed. Of these thirty-eight
have paid their creditors in full and
twenty have paid interest, besides fifteen
in full and five in part. The contraction
in national bank circulation during the
year exceeds $56,000,000. The aggregate
deposits in the bank have increased from
$522,000,000 in January, 1886, to $1,173,
000,000 in October, 1886, while loans and
accounts have risen from $500,000,000 at
the former date to $ 1,443,000,000 at the
latter date. The specie held by the na
tional banks in 1866 was only $8,000,000,
while in July, 1885, it was $177,000,000
and it is now $156,000,000.
It wasn't a Gorilla.
THE RIVERSIDE MONSTER WAS A CRAZY
NEGRO DRRS8KD IK COW HIDES.
The residents of Riverhead, L. I., have
been in a state of great excitement du
ring the post week over the report that a
large gorilla was sporting in the woods a
few miles from the village. Gunners
were chased out of the woods leaving
their guns and birds behind them in or
der to escape the clutches of the ugly-
monster. The gorilla was said to be the
size of a man, and hid in ambush until
his prey came along. During the night,
belated people on the highways were
brushed against by the monster, and
erreatlv terrori.ed, farmers were robbed
of their turnips, cabbage ana other pro
ducts, until finally they decided to stop
it. Parties were organized and searched
the woods with guns, clubs, pitchforks
and other weapons, but without avail.
Yesterday a third party went out, and
after enough powder and shot to start a
young magazine was wasted the monster
was surrounded while in hiding and sent
reeling ou the ground from a blow on the
head with a club. In an instant the
whole party fell upon the prostrate form
ofthe "monster'' and amid the kicks and
blows, cries for mercy were heard. It
was theu discovered that the captive was
a coal black negro, named "Sanv' Youngs,
who lives as a hermit in the woods. He
I had made a skin-tight suit out of some
cowhide and attached a cow's tail be
hind. Youngs, when questioned as to what
was his motive for such a disguise, said
he was makiug a livelihood by robbing
the gunners and farmers. He was then
cautioned by one of the farmers that if
any more such pranks were played his
life would not be worth much. The news
of the capture quickly spread through
the town, and many threats were made
to finish the negro. N. Y. Star.
