The Morning Star. By WTLLIAJTI BE. BERNARD. WILMINGTON N. C. Thtjksdat Evbninq, Feb. 12, 1885 EVENING EDITION. TO EQUALIZE TAXATION. , ; " -9 . i - Some time before the (-ireneral As sembly met many of our best State exchanges discussed intelligently the most important and difficult ques tionhow to make the property owners pay alike how to equalize the burdens of taxation and prevent one section or county from shirking burdens that belonged to it and how to prevent other counties from pay ing in excess of what was really their duty. The Pittsboro Record was pointed and forceful in what it said of this abuse, and insisted that there should be a Board of Equalization established. The Record held: "More men, swear to lies in listing their property than in j dome any thing else, and not only that but they think it no sin, but loos upon it as something smart. A man in one county is compelled to pay more taxes on the same quantity and quality ot land than another man m an adjoining county. The same kind of a horse or mule is valued much higher in some counties than in others. There is no doubt that the Record was within bounds in saying this. To' cheat the State seems to be re garded by a large class of listers as an act quite akin to. honor and possibly to religious duty. But it is a great wrong when the people of one county are made to pay too much taxes because the people of another county pay too little taxes. It is just such a violation of justice and fair dealing as ought not to be allowed to continue if there can be devised any plan by which it can be prevent ed. The great duty .of the Legisla ture is to make an effort in this direc tion. . If it is only tentative, let it be made. There is neither "rhyme nor reason" in permitting a grelt and ac knowleged evil to continue from year to year without any serious effort be ing made to remedy it. The valua tions of property in North Carolina are extremely unequal. That is a fact. Shall-this outrage continue ? What say the enlightened members in the Legislature ? - ! Every man who owns property should be made to pay his equitable proportion of taxation. There should be allowed no dodging; here. Giv ing in false returns ought to be pun ' ished at law severely; Why should : A be taxed on all he has and heavily when B is only taxed on half he has? Why should Cabarrus or Mecklen burg or Richmond county pay twice jas much tax on the same ' kind of property that is paid by New Han over or Camden or Craven? We do not know how jit is in, the counties named, but we select them merely for illustration. Why should not land of equal fertility be taxed the , same in two counties ? Why should horses and mules and other property be so much more highly taxed7 in some counties than in others ? Such is the. fact. v- - - - - Is there no remedy? Must these "injustices and inequalities continue always? Can not legislation do any tumg to cure iuu """"u8 on the'bpdy politic ? , Will the pres- predecessors have done in this direc- tlon and leave a1' crying "evirt6 keep - on crying forever? Mast the bur- deri-bearers forever bear the excess- I 1st thfi Vhiikera shall I be permitted to keep on, indefinitely J Shirking andperjuring .themselves ? Is there no balmJrHegislation ? Are r there tib're'source, no invention in the men of these timea ? : We are glad to know -that; one .of the members has a bill before the Finance Committee the . object of which is to ascertain the true mar- ket value; of visible property, and to equalize the burdens of taxation thereon. We have read the bill and we are glad to be able to say that it moves in the right direction. It ofi-Itoc no tliat tha Kill Will aO.ROITl. plish a great deal if it becomes a law I in nniTPtino- ft trreat and manitest Q a evil. It may not be perfect. That can only.be known after due trial. But it is intelligently drawn, and if carried out properly, and no law is efficient unless executed, it must do a great deal in the way of fixing the trne market value of property in each county and in simplifying the difficult process of equalization.; There may be some defects in the bill that a closer examination would re veal, but it impresses us after such an examination as we have found time to give it, as being a very great improvement on anything thns far attempted in North Carolina in cor recting the glaring inequalities of the present poor system. It is not desirable to have laws that are dead letters. It is not desirable to encnmber the statutes with useless laws or inoperative laws. If a law be a good law let it be enforced; if it be a bad law let it be repealed. If the law against carrying concealed weapons is a needed and good law I let it be thoroughly executed. If it can not be so executed then it should be repealed as it will act only against conscientious and law-abiding citi zens whilst bullies and bruisers and assassins will go armed to the teeth. The following from our esteemed contemporary-the Raleigh Visitor, puts the matter about right: "We do not hesitate to say that this law is openly and defiantly violated in hundreds of instances, while its enforcement is an exception. Now we contend that the pre sent General Assembly should either make provision for the enforcement of the law or repeal It. As it stands, it does not appear to operate with much impartiality. We believe that this will be attested by many who have noted the subject. We do hot, of course, wish to be understood as oppo sing this or any other law having for its oDiect the suppression of crime or the pre servation of morals. We only contend that where such a statute is enacted, there should be some supplementary provision looking to the certainty of its enforce ment. Gen Prentiss, the Federal General who was caught napping at Shiloh and many of his men were bagged, is lecturing in Chicago upon the bat tle in which he seems' to have told what he did not know of the battle of Shiloh. He confirms Grant's lite rary twister and so changes the facts that old soldiers who participated in thought would not be able to recog nize the time or place. Sam Weller said a dexterous pieman could so make a "weal pie" out of "kittens" that the "very piemen himself" conld not distinguish. Prentiss and Grant can so pervert facts that participants atonuon conciuae mat tney are taiic- I - e . l n , . i- .. I uigui Bome oiuer ngnt. irenuss has such a regard for the historic verities that he says, as reported in the Inter-Ocean: "His men were not surprised in their AC m. . 1 m . . . tenia or &y DreaKiasi. out wnen the attacc came were ic line of battle and had ad vanced to meet the enemy. " The New York World thinks Gen. Wolseley "a popinjay," but the Eng lish people think him their greatest soldier. We . suspect the Northern papers are led to depreciate the Eng- lish commander because of his well- known high opinion of Gen. Lee and his poor opinion of Gen. Grant. A year or so ago we saw an expression of opinion of Lord Wolseley as to Lee. He regarded him as the great est soldier he had seen. But in this opinion he is not singular among his countrymen. . Col. Freemantle " has 'some such opinion.; Another soldier, ,whose name escapes us just now, who was regarded as the highest author! tym war matters in England, in a paper in Blackwood's Magazine, gave it as bis opinion that Lee was one of the three great captains of the Eng- lish race Marlborough and Welling ton being the other two. A writer in the University Maga- zinBijB that "the Qld North State has never bad a trnly great editor." This is true.u We'take it he is indr. ww iZu"ix:. rntil. are distinguished critics who contend that the worlcl . has ' not had more than six or eight ? great men." But nS is wo eiaitea a stanaara.- ruir adgin other! North Carpliniana by xtzine andHthis may be 'said with: equal truth: North Carolina has neij- er naa a "trnly great' marlj bas never - had a truly great" -man of r aJtruly.great-writerl'or a?truly great" college, or a' "truly great" any thing. Bat it is growing and after awhile it will produce some son, who may. be able to measure with the world's truly greatr?vmen .. Mr. Ed win Arnold-Jias still au-; othercritio -who, like 'Mr. W11kin-t son, does not regard his productions! as either of great poetio or ethnologi cal value. A writer in the Philadel phia American says of Mr. Arnold: "We never have met with a careful stu dent of poetry who finds the book even readable. They all see in it a very clever I imlt.ttnn ft Mr Tpnnvgnn'a atola imperfectly cultivated wriver, who has no an ear Ior uo Bcumuc puciry, auu no fine sense of the poetical uses of. Ian guage. The decision of such a scholar as Rhys Davids that u is not a picture . or the Buddhist faith at any stage in its develop ment, but merely an eclectic assemblage of such points in the teaching and life of Buddha, from all kinds of sources, as pleased Mr. Arnold, is still more decisive against the claim of the book to be an ex hibit of what this great faith is." The newspapers are now wrestling with some knotty questions. One is how to pronounce Khartoum. The English papers give it Kartoum, Khartoum, Kartoom, Khartoom or Khartum. Another one is whether an apostle of dyuanfite should be called dynamiter, dynamiteur or dynamitard. The Philadelphia Re cord gives its voice for old. fashioned "assassin." By the way, dynamite is not pronounced, as we are told, as it is more generally pronounced, di namite, but.rfyn-amite. A Mrs. Dr. Warner has made her debut at Paterson, N. J., as Lady Teazle in Sheridan's comedy of "School for Scandal." She is said to be a really beautiful . woman . Her success does not seem to have been remarkable. But Mrs. Langtry did not at first do much and still she made, a fortune. THE PERIODICALS. Wake Forest Student for February con tains an article by L. N.

At the instance.of, Mr. Simmons, the rules were suspended and the bill to couvey to Lake Landing Canal Company any interest of the State in said canal, was taken up, and passed its, several readings. On motion of Mr. Winston, the rules were suspended, and the bill to incorporate, the Oxford and Clarks ville Railroad Company was taken up, amended at his instance, and passed its second reading. SPECIAL ORDER. Bill to enable Railroad and other Transportation Companies to extend their lines and to aid in the construc tion of other Railroads, came up. Mr. Means moved that the bill be recommitted to the committee on Finance in order that they may com ply with specific instructions from the Senate, which was lostv Mr. Twitty submitted an amend ment. Mr. Gudger offered various amend ments to the second section of the bill. Mr. Buxton moved to amend as a substitute for that of Mr. Gudger to strike out the second section of the bill. Mr. Means addressed the Senate earnestly and eloquently in opposi tion to the bill and offered the fol lowing proviso to the first section: Provided, however, that in order to encourage the construction of other railroads and to prevent -dis crimination, injurious to the public, at all terminal and connecting points there shall be equal and reciprocal privileges in the way of schedules, prorates, and through cars, with other lines.

To endorse Messrs Fowl and Jarvis both, the one for Solicitor General and the other for a Cabinet position, is to demon strate precisely how not to do it. And yet this is what the Legislature did. Ooldsboro Messenger. Up to this time the Legislature seems to have done but little except make rhetorical exhibitions to tbe gallery. A large propor tion of the membership is usually made up of young men who have the pardonable vanity of wishing to be heard. Elizabeth jtly Economist. Not only this, but the Blair bill does not appropriate the surplus now on hand, but . places on the statute book a law togrant so -much yearly to the State for school pur poses for a period or, l believe, eight years. And this monejr will be collected from the people yearly, just as the current expenses of the government are collected from the tariff and internal revenue.

USB OF IT IN A CASE OF YELLOW FEVEH Db. Wx. T. Howard, or Baltimokb, Professor of Diseases of Women and Children to the University of Maryland. Dr. Howard attests the common adaptation of this water in "a wide range of cases" with that of the far-famed White Sulphur Springs, in Green brier county, West Virginia, and adds the follow ing : "Indeed, In a certain class of cases It is much superior to the latter. I allude to the abiding debility attendant upon the tardy convalescence from grave acute diseases; and more especi lly to the Cachexia and Seguelsi ncident to llalarvm Fevers, In all their grades and varieties, to cer tain forms of Atonic Dyspepsia, and all the Affec tions Peculiar to Women that are remediable at all by mineral waters. In short were I calltd upon to state from what mineral waters J have seen the great est and most unmistakable amount of good accrue ir, the largest number of cases in a general way t would unhesitatingly say the Buffalo Springs, in Mecklenburg county, Va." Db. O. F. Makboh. or Richmond, Va., Late Professor of General Pathology and Physio logy In the Medical College of Virginia : "I have observed marked sanative effects from the Buffalo Water lr Malarial Cachexia, Antmic Dyspepsia, some of the Peculiar Affections of We men, Ancemia, Hypochondriasis. Cardiac Palpita tions, &c. It has been especially -mcacious In Chronic Intermittent Fever, numerous cases of Oat character, which had obstinately withstood the usual remedies, having been restored to perfect health in a brief space of time by a sojourn at the Springs."

"Their great value tn Malarial Diseases and Sequslcs has been most abundantly and satisfac torily tested; and I have no question that it would have been a valua le auxiliary in the treatment of the epidemic of Yellow Fever which so terribly afflicted the Mississippi Valley during tbe past summer. I prescribed it myself, and it gave prompt relief in a case of Suppression of Vrif, n Yellow Fever, and decidedly mitigated other di tressing and dangerous symptoms The patient re covered, but how far the water may have contri buted tothatre8ult (having prescribed it ta bnt a single case) I, of course cannot undertake to say.
