It is be lieved that John Sherman chuckles to himself every time he gets in a dark place over Mr. - Harrison's trouble in making up his cabinet. I " Governor Fowle is urging the Legis lature to adopt measures for! making the penitentiary self sustaining. If the people of the State had known that they would be heavily taxed for the surppot of two or three thousand prison ers in this institution, they would never have consented to a departure from the old system of every county keeping their own criminals and convicts in county prisons.' j The .Wilmington Messengesays a man has just died in Cabarrus county who once risked his life to save his Colonel, Hon William Henry Harrison Cowles.

What is to come out f this Samoan squabble remains to be seen, but up to the latest data American rights and honor were intdct, and likely to remain so. v A bold attempt at robbery was made at the Armourdale (Kan.) Bank last Saturday afternoon by a young man only 17 years old. While the cashier was counting gold coin a pistol was thrust in his face and he heard the robber say, "Will you please pass over that pile?" A clerk standing near picked up a pistol and pointing it at the would-be robber said, "Hands up," which demand was complied with and the young gentleman was marched off to jail. Representative Houck, of Tennessee, who is trying to boom Mahone into the Cabinet, has received a letter from Ben Butler endorsing Mahane for Postm is- ter-General.

Why not settle the county seat controversey by moving it there, -. M A strong appeal to the public in fa vor of American shipping was made by the American Shipping League which held its an noal session in YVjtshington last week. Friday evening! a public meeting was held at which a f number of prominent Defnocrats and Republi cans made speeches commending the work undertaken by the League. A notable featuie of the speeches was the complimentary manner in which the Republican speakers al luded Jo Secretary Whitney. t .Repre sentative Boutellei of Maine, called him the "enterprising and wide-ayake Sec retary of the Navy, etc, ?When one at all famiHar with the ;avy Depart ment nnder previous administrations looks at what Mrv Whitney has accom plished, and how little it haacst, comparatively;- he pannot help-raraend-mg the hard working Secretary for the goo4 he has done, and regretting that the.country is so soon to' 15se the p(?r Tices of such a man. . !

The buyer of votes is a deliberate corrupter of the ballot box an enemy, to the election system as contemplated by the constitution and laws of the State. This Legislature should also immor talize itself by! an act to restrict the privilege of voting to those only who pay the taxes. ( "; What right has John Doe to vote a t tax on Richard Roe when he himself pay! no tax? What right has John Doe to vote on the appropriation J of funds raised by taxing the said Richard Roe, when he, the said John,1 has not paid out a dime to 'wards raising the fund for public uses? Evidently there is a -wrong here a great 'wrong to the honest tax payer, and this Legislature ought to see it and remedy; it. No Tariff Legislation. News and Observer. 'It is pretty generally agreed among those familiar with the problems of taxation which affect this country that the so-called tariff reduction wrought bv the Republican Senate will not lessen the taxes the people have to pay one iota. It was explained, during the campaign, to those within the Repub lican party who favor tariff reform (for there are such here and there) that the tariff could best be reformed by its friends, and so we have it that those poor mans, necessities pearls and attar of roses have been made cheaper while there has been an increase of the tax on woolen clothing to 90 per cent. a rise of 23 per cent and an in crease on other clothing, on metals, lumber, provisions and so n. ' This sort of reduction the people don't ap predate. Accordingly the Democratic House will have none of the Senate abortion The Democracy is on the side of the people and against monopoly, against the trusts and the ether combines. It will accept no compromise from the benefacianes of the robber tariff. It will accept no makeshift at the hands of the Republican leaders, who recog nize tne popular aemana tor taritr re duction and whose only anxiety is to qutwit it toiseem-to comply with it while they are all the while playing into the hands of the northern monop olists. There will be no tariff legislation by the next Congress., It is impossible to pass a bill really reducing tariff taxa tion and so relieving the people be cause of the opposition of the Republi cans. It is certain that the monstrosi ty got up by the Republicans, will be rejected, as it deserves to be. It is but a blind. It is intended onlv to throw dust in the eyes of the people, who realize sorely indeed the necessity for revision and reduction of the tariff. .t But the fight for genuine reduction will go on in Congress and through out the country. It represents the leading issue,: though its chamvions have recently met with a reverse. It will be waged with ever increasing earnestness and effectiveness. It is as important to the country as was the battle of liunker-Hiil. It is the strug-l gle of the people for the maintainance of their rights against the aggressions of monopolistic combinations. And it will result m a complete and perma nent victory, j Itns a fact that in the manufactur ing centres mt the country, in .New Jersey, Connecticut,: and the great cities of New, En gland like Lowell, it was the issue of revenue reform, that made the most substantial gains for Cleveland, in spite of the unscrupulous bull-doziug practiced by the tariff bar- ons. it is on iv necessary ior tne cara- j.r t i paign of enlightraent with respect to tariff tax oppression to be carried on faithfully through the next four years for the farmers generally as well as the artisans to respond to its- teaching. The protectionists will then be as much surprised at the strong revenue-reform vote in all the agricultural districts as they were disappointed in November at their failure to secure a larger vote in the districts devoted to manufactur ing.

A correspondent of ' the Richmond Dispatch says that about -a century ago llichard Randolph, of Virginia, emancipated his slaves and left them oOO acres of land. ! How the experi ment resulted, he relates in the follow- ing words: "His will was tullv carried out. About 100 slaves were boucrht. Five hundred acres of his best land. lying on the Appomattox river, near Prospect, in Trince Edward county. and about ten miles above Farmville, were laid off for them. Houses were erected and some stock and utensils given to them at the expense of the es tate, and they have hud nw a century to work out their own destiny and to exhibit to the world their capabilities for taking a part in the civilization of the age. This place, known as Izrael Hill, has been regarded for sixty years as a pest house a blot upon the surface of the country in which it is situated, and the value of the near and adjoin ing plantations has been depreciated by their con tinguity.

Dodging. - The present Legislature is weak In the back, at least ou one question. Jf it i afraid to tackle the ignorant and tne vi cious element thatswnnns at our, polls, tt would of course be far from passing a dog law. The Wilmington Star calls it the Farmers Legislature, and says 'it is not much ou braving a popular majority. The House has tabled a proposition to amend the Constitution so as to compel electors to pay tar. By this7 act they reamrm the declaration that it is proper and right that ignorant negroes that do not pay oue cent of tax shall Elm .nave the right to tax others. In the forum of common sense, fairness and justice it will ue nara to sustain that action. Again the Star repeats its own conviction that no mau should be entitled to exercise the elective franchise who does not pay a tax. Why should any man be burden ed and afflicted with taxes levied by im pecunioue and blind isnorance? Why should a roguish rascal who navs no tax. I and robs a henroost at night, who is as ignorant of the duties and responsibilities ot citizenship as a baboon, be allowed to go to the polls to select public officials and to levy taxes uponthe intelligence, virtue and enterprise of Ihe State? It is a starknaked outrage." Charlotte News. Sudden Death in- Statesville. State3VILLE, Fed. 5. During the ses sion of the Supreme Court to-day the head of Frank Stone, a citizen of the county, who was in the audience, fell back, and he began gasping. Water was thrown in his face. While being carried out he died. The doctors say the cause of death was organic disease of the heart. His broth er-in-law is the foreman of the grand jury. Charlotte Chronicle. A railroad commission, if one is er tablished, should not be used as an agency for salving wounds the result of political defeat. It will be no place for disappointed politicians and the places should not be distributed on tha ground of party services. And again: Some of the suggestions of names in connection with these places are ridic ulous. The railroad question is one of the most intricate questions of the day one may as easily master the tariff. For the places on this- commission, therefore, are needed the very ablest men in the State. And they should be not only able and practical men but men of the best nerve and the highest in tegrity. It is much easier to find men in North Carolina for Governors and Sen ators than to find fit material for railroad commissioners. The places demand such a combination of quali ties as few men possess and the indi vidual or the tribunal to which is left the selection of these officers will have on hand a duty of such- delicacy and responsibility as has clearly, never en tered the thoughts of two-thirds of those who are making suggestions iu advance about who the railroad commis sioners should be.
