' That flag incident in New Orleans,
wherein a gang of Italians raised the
Italian flag and then pulled up the
American flag upside down under it,
don't amount to much but it affords
this Government, about as much
ground to demand reparation of the
Italian Government as the killing of
those alleged subjects of Italy by
the irate citizens of New Orleans
affords that Government to demand
reparation from this Government.
Neither of the Governments had

respects had. It is not only the oldest

exponent of the Democratic party, one

were aware of his serious illness. Mr,
Larkins was one of Wilmington's prom

from the First Baptist church at 4
o'clock.

THE INCOME TAX.
Editor Morning Star :
As much interest is now being mani
fested in the provisions in the new
Revenue Law relative to the Income
tax, the following construction seems
to be the one most consonant with rea
son and iustice:
The 17th section ol the act, division
8, requires that "the net imcome of the
part)' the twelve months next preced
ing the first day of June in the current
year, with a statement of the -source or
resources from which it is derived"
shall be given in to the tax lister. This
provision is the same as it has been in
this State since 1878. As to what is
"net income" is a matter never thor
oughly understood, and will yet take a
decision of the courts to determine its
meaning. Many of our best and most
intelligent citizens have always con
tended that by net income is meant all
of one's income that is left after deduct
ing one's entire cost of living.
But when the Legislature goes on in
Sec. 5 of Schedule A, of the Act of 1891
and says, "On the incomes and profits
derived from any property- not taxed
during the year preceding the first day
of June in each year, there shall be a
tax of one per centum -without exemp
tion. On incomes derived from salaries
or fees during the same time there shall
be a tax of one half of one per centum."
It is plain that there is taxable only :
1. That income derived from proper
ty not taxed, "without any exemption.
2. That income derived from salaries
or fees and the above section omitting
the words "without exemption," must
necessarily mean the net income.
So the Legislature has only sought to
tax incomes for services when derived
from salaries or fees. What are salaries
or fees? Words must be taken in their
ordinary acceptance. Webster says :
"Salary is that recompense or consider
ation stipulated to be paid foi services,
usually a fixed sum to be paid by the
year, as to governors, clergymen, in
structors of seminaries or other officers,
civil or ecclesiastical. When wages are
stated or stipulated by the month, week
or day, we do not call the compensation
salary, but pay or wages, as in case of
laborers.
So it would follow that clerks, cooks,
or other employes paid by the day or
month do not receive salary but
wages, and are plainly not taxable.
After all, then theJRevenue bill makes
little or no change, and does not tax
laborers, clerks and employees as was
first thought, and if those classes that
are taxed, have the right to deduct
without limit, the cost of living, so as to
get at their net income, and are not con
fined to the one thousand dollars ex
emption under the old law, the present
Revenue bill will be more liberal in this
respect than heretofore.
Two Small Fires.
The house of Elijah Lane, colored,
No. 718 North Fifth street, was slightly
damaged by fire, which brokeout on the
roof about 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The loss was very small and fully
covered by insurance with Messrs.
Atkinson & Manning.
An hour or so later fire was discov
ered in one of rooms the of the
house ccupied by Mr. Wm. C.
Munds, on the corner of Fifth and Dock
streets. The fire was speedily extin
guished and the damage is slight. The
building is the property of Mr. E. Pes
chau, and in insured with Messrs.
Atkinson & Manning.
WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY,
THE CITY ELECTION.
The Democrats' Elect Six or Has Ten
Aldermen-The Proposition to Issue
Improvement Bonds Rejected.
The election held yesterday was as
quiet as the slow, gentle rain that fell
uninterruptedly throughout the day.
There was rone of the bustle and stir;
none of the rapid movement of buggies
and .hacks; none of the close figuring
of the recognized leaders that charac
terized the November election when ex
citement 'and enthusiasm ran riot
through the city.
In the Second, Third and fourth
Wards, where the regular Democratic
nominees had no opposition except in
the Third where it was a mere farce
the election was tame and void of
incident. The sovereigns stepped up to
the boxes and, after depositing their bal
lots in a perfunctory way, walked off as
quietly as they had come.
In the First Ward there was some
show of life and activity. There were two
regular Democratic candidates, two reg
ular Republican candidates ancTthree In
dependent Republican candidates; all the
Republican aspirants being colored. The
divisions among the Republicans cre
ated a hopeful feeling in the Democratic
ranks, and some very active and vigo
rous work was done at the polls; but too
many of the Democrats had failed to re
gister, and the negro majority was too
large to overcome under the circum
stances, and the result was the election
of two Independent Republicans.
In the Fifth Ward, where the regis
tered colored majority was only 139,
there was some hope that the Demo
crats might elect at least one of their
candidates, but the Republicans had
only two candidates in the held, and
being pretty well united, succeeded in
electing them both.
The proposition to issue bonds for
sewerage and street improvements were
both knocked "higher than Gilroy's
kite." This was a foregone con
clusion, their defeat being very gen
erally expected by both friends and
opponents. The Democrats were very
much divided on the question and the
negro vote was solid against it.
The following is the vote in detail by
Wards, with a recapitulation of the yote

MARCH 27-, 1891.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
A Special Meeting Last Night toConsider
Market House Matters The Bijou
Theatre and Other Subjects Brought
Up.
A call was issued yesterday afternoon
for a special meeting of the Board of
Aldermen at 5 o'clock, to consider mat
ters relating to the market houses, but
a quorum not being present the meet
ing adjourned until 8 p. m.
At that hour the members assembled
there being present Aldermen Pearsall,
Montgomery, Smith,Hicks, Scott, Lane,
and Bell.
On motion of Alderman Pearsall
(Mayor Fowler being absent), Alderman
Smith was made Mayor pro tern.
Alderman Hicks stated that the meet
ing was called for the purpose of consid
ering matters in regard to the renting of
stalls in the Front street market, which
he could explain more fully by the fol
lowing resolution:
Whereas, At the last annual renting
of stalls in Front street market, certain
stalls were rented by Thos. A. Watson,
Thos. HJohnson, Isaac B. Rhodes and
W. M. Hayes, Jr., and owing to the un
fair bidding the said stalls were unduly
and unreasonably run up on said parties
beyond just valuation; now, therefore,
for remedy thereof, be it
Resolved, That the monthly rents of
said stalls shall be deemed and taken
as of the first day of October,
1890, to the first day of Octo
ber, 1891, at the following amounts;
that is to say. the stall of the said Thos.
A. Watson at $35 per month; stall of
said I. B. Rhodes at $55 per month; stall
of said W. M. Hayes, Jr.. at $33 per
month, and the stall of the said Thos.
H. Johnson at $15 per month; and that
the said parties have credit respectively
for over-payments according to the true
intent of this resolution.
After some discussion the resolution
was adopted unanimously.
On motion of Alderman Pearsall, the
following resolution was adopted: .
Resolved, That the Mayor have such
steps taken, according to law, as may be
requisite for ascertaining the benefits and
damages resulting from the paving and
grading of the sidewalk on Third street
between Chesnutand Mulberry streets.
Alderman Pearsall said he under
stood that the grounds given for the per
manent encampment were to revert to
the city, to be used as public park
grounds, if they were not used as en
campment grounds. He said if this was
the case, he would like to have some in
formation on the subject.
City Attorney Cutlar informed the
Board that this was partly correct; but
that some of the heirs of the property
would not sign the deed which would
revert the land back to the city.
Alderman Pearsall said he thought it
the duty of the present Board to take
some action in regard to the "Bijou
Opera Company," who are giving inde
cent and lewd performances.
The Mayor pro tcm. requested the
Chief of Police to state the character of
the performances.
The Chief informed the Board that
he had attended some of these perform
ances and that he had seen nothing that
he considered indecent or objectionable.
Alderman Scott said that the exhibi
tions were unquestionably demoralizing,
if the reports that he had heard were
true, and he had no reason whatever to
doubt the veracity of his informants.
Alderman Lane said he thought it
best not to take any action on hearsay.
By advice of the City Attorney Alder
man Pearsall offered the following reso
lution, which was adopted without a
dissenting yote:
Whereas, It is reported to this
Board that the Bijou Opera Company,
now exhibiting in this city, is violating
the laws of public decency in the man
ner of low and indecent exposure of
person, and in the other exhibitions it
is making before the public and ought
to be suppressed as a nuisance; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That the Mayor be request
ed to take such legal steps as may be
requisite for the purpose.
Resolved, That if any license has been
issuecf to the said company that the
saqie be revoked and recalled.
Mayor pro tern. Smith said, as this
was the last meeting the Board would
have, if any of the members desired to
make "final remarks they then had an
opportunity.
City Attorney Cutlar responded, call
ing attention to the amount , of work
done by the Board.
Alderman Lane thanked the Board
for the kindness shown him and his col
ored colleagues. At all previous meet
ings they had met to agree or disagree;
but this, the last meeting, had been very
pleasant and they had unanimously
agreed on every question.
Alderman Scott said that during his
short term he had found it pleasant and
was well satisfied, with but one excep
tion. It had been his wish to macad
amize Fourth street from the first bridge
to Hilton, but this had not been accom
plished, and he regretted it exceedingly.
The Board then adjourned sine die.
