This Government of ours is get ting to be a pretty costly institution when it takes $525,000,000 a year to run it. In the language of the dis tinguished Mr. Blaine, there are some "fat pickins" in that. It is said' that the minister who officiated at the Astor-Willing mar riage in Philadelphia received a fee of $10,000. He would doubtless be willing to splice the whole Astor Willing tribe on those terms. According tp Senator Plumb it takes a $600,000 retinue to wait on a $440,000 Senate. But then the Senate moves slow, except when it tackles private pension bills, and requires a good deal of waiting on. Some of our esteemed contempo raries think as the Democrats are under many obligations to Speaker Reed for the services ren dered the party' they ought to pass some booming resolutions of thanks before Congress adjourns.

He spent his early manhood on "his father's farm, m Missouri, but went to Cali fornia in 1849, where he, afterwards amassed his fortuneCin successful mining operations and-became the largest mine owner and land owner in the State.

Total, 8,887 barrels, WILMINGTON, N. C. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1891. THEW. & W. R. R. COMPANY. Its liberal and Voluntary Proposition to Pay Taxes Bejected by the legisla ture. The proposition made by the Wil mington fc Weldon Railroad Company, through its committee to the Legisla ture, hasc been rejected, though the privileges asked were such as have been granted to almost any road seeking them, and can be secured without any difficulty in either South CBrolina or Virginia. The proposition to assess each mile of the regular line at $8,000 per mile and the branch lines at $4,000 per mile for ten years, and after that at $12,000 and $8,000 respectively, and the equip ment and warehouses to be assessed like those of any other railroad, was an offer of generous liberality, when the fact is considered that under its charter everything is exempted from taxation. Had this proposition been accepted no less than $3,000,000 would have been added to the taxable value of the State and counties, and this amount would have increased yearly as extensions were made. Under this proposition the Wil mington & Weldon railroad, though having but ten per cent, of the mileage in the State, would pay twenty per cent, of the tax paid by the combined rail roads to the State and counties. The income derived from this source would pay the interest yearly on one-half mil lion dollars of the bonds of the State. The Legislature has seen fit to refuse this proposition, and the railroad com pany has nothing further to offer. The reasons which guided the Legis lature in its decision are not understood, but are doubtless good ones. The Su preme Court ot North Carolina and the Supreme Court of the United States have both decided that the charter of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Com pany exempts its property, stock and franchise rom any taxation whatever. OPERA HOUSE. "TJncle Tom's Cabin" Instead of "Old Hip." A fair house at the Opera House wit nessed "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which was presented in lieu ot "Rip Van Winkle." As soon as the announcement of the change of programme was made, accompanied by the statement that the money would be refunded to those who did not care to witness the play, several left he theatre. Those that remained kept a dignified silence during the first act, then the audience slowly melted away. Charitably dis posed, the crowd liberally applauded, but as the applause came at inopportune moments it raised a suspicion that the audience were "guying." In the last act the play was hissed unmercifully. The only redeeming feature of the per formance was the two little girls, whose efforts pleased very much. BY RIVER AND RAIL.

McKee Rankin, Friday Uight, in his Suc cessful Play "The Canuck." Mr. McKee Rankin, whose name is familiar to theatre goers the country over, will play aft engagement at the Wilmington Opera House next Friday night, appearing in his latest laughing success. "The Canuck." "The Canuck" is a comedy drama in four acts, and in it Mr. Rankin appears as "Jean Baptiste Cadeane," an old French-Canadian farmer, which is said to be one of the most humorous and funniest impersonations seen to-day. "it is unlike anything ever before attempt ed, but in the hands of this finished and scholarly actor it has achieved a re markable success. The piece in con struction is similar to Denman Thomp son's "Old Homestead." Tears and laughter, humor and pathos, are so hap pily comminglea that the auditor never tires for a moment. It is a play that will bear repetition, for there are so many interesting points about the pro duction. The Glass-Blowers. Bohemian glass-blowers will open a week's engagement beginning to-day in Hiberian Hall, on Third street, op--posite the City Hall. A grand baby contest for the prettiest baby, of course will be one of the features, and pretty presents are promised to all visitors.
