"Specimen copies forwarded when desired IHTEBEST ON ntOWHVk The Sonatinas passed abillreduo ingTuterest to 6 per cent, only four members voting no. The Stab has favored a lower interest. It is well known thatjmost of the money lent in North Carolina is from 12 to 80 per cent. Very little is lent at the allow able interest of 8 per cent. Money in the North is low. Ton can borrow for six months at 4f per cent. The Stab through the years has insisted that money should be sought in the . North where it abounds. It is possi ble with good State lawB for money to be borrowed in Boston or New York at 5 or 6 per cent, on good col lateral. The Stab is not particular to prevent by law pereons from lend ing at 8 per cent, when money is as scarce as it is. What the Stab has favored is greater banking facilities in the State. North Carolina has not half as much capital as is needed, or as other States with the same popu lation possess. To reduce the present rate of in terest will not relieve the people, but will drive out capital Let the banks be multiplied. Let the banking cap ital be trebled, and let Northern capital be sought by the Farmers' Alliance when needed, and money will be easily obtained at not more than 6 per cent. But to leave these things undone, and to force private capital in the hands of strict obser vers of law.to charge but 6 per cent, will make money scarcer and will drive out capital. So long aB the banks get 10 or 12 per cent, or more it is wrong to force private capital to charge but 6 per cent. That is the way we regard it. s Money is too high . because it is lent from 10 to 30 per cent. It can W . j ' ' - Tl A be maaa-mora aounaanc ana ogniv ' tob Let the banking facilities be increased. OI.DFOGV.ISmT. The Raleigh Progressive Farmer objects earnestly to taxing the farmer to run the immigration bureau and develop - the oyster fields. It . eayB: " We are not discussing the merits of the various objects for which the farmers' fund has been so freely and liberally expended but if tbe State wants immigration if she wants Q?siers propagated; if she wants a laborsbureau; if it wants coal surveys, let 4t-dfr ilk groat -ad honorable Blate go to its treasury and pay for them. It is un just, it is unfair and outrageous to make tbe farmers of the State pay their full share of the taxes and then require them to keep up all these other enterprises in which no other class of tax payers in the State has a less interest than they." Taxes ought to be equitably levied. Men ought not to be -forced to per form the labor that others should perform. Hence, the Stab insists that people who own no vehicles, or horses or mules should not be re quired to work the roads. Hencey the Stab insists that people who do not pay taxes should not be allowed to tax others. Hence, the Stab in- : eists that it is wrong in principle and unjust to relieve the luxuries from . taxation and keep up the tax on the necessaries to tax blankets and hats and shoes and salt and crockery and - dress goods and clothing and trace chains and cotton ties and Bibles and medicines, and let perfumery, cigars, cigarettes, cheroots and wines and brandies go free of taxes. But this is old fogyism to the latter-day economists.- CONttBESSIOfTAIt BLUNDERING. The pretence that the tobacco tax oppresses the farmers is too thm to bamboozle any man of ordinary in - telligenoe. Certainly it will not fool any tobacco raiser, for all know that they do not pay the much needed tax, but the user the smoker and chewer. So the majority report on the Cowles bill to aid a High Tariff is all poppy-cock. It is certain that the Government has to raise $87, 000,000 for pensions for Northern soldiers and above 148,000,000 to meet the annual interest on the pub lic debt. Both of these are war debts and they should be met,if yon please, by a war tax on luxuries on whis key, tobacco, cigars, eheroots and cigarettes. Men who dare to favor the abolition of this tax ought to bang tbeir heads hereafter- when they hear of oppressive taxes on the necessaries of life. Men who can etand up for a repeal of a needed tax on luxuries :with which to meet a compulsory war debt of $184,000,' O00, as above stated, and thus throw the burden on the necessaries of life, are not the real friends of the labor ing classev, but are playing into the bands of Monopoly. The New York World thus refers to the supposed Cabinet as we have given it on our seoondpage: - "It at least affords an estimate of Gen. Harrison's bent and canacltv bv his nartv friends which Is interesting and illumina ting. Of the . Cabinet s whole it will be lme enough to speak when it is officially nnouneed. .As tbe toreeaat now standi "'o eignt mra named have hrtA piienc in national aEarrs.'" A no mirvinDLTlKliJAMO The Railroad Commissioners will have a very up-bill time when they attempt to apply one law to all railroads and to deal with all alika upon the same priooiple of charges. 1 he old roads with charters grant ing them ample and special privi leges will hardly allow an arbitrary abuse of power or an unjust law to rob them of their rights and privi leges without an appeal. Mr. Hins dale, of Raleigh, disoussea in the News- Observer the effect of , the tJommiesion. He quotes from the charters of two of the old roads. He Bays: r Th charter of tbe Wilmington and Weldon Railroad CJompany coitUiot the follow ice provision That the company shnll be tnutlert to receive and demand the follow IDC I6tM, to wit: naming mem. TKi, u o ni.in lnffislative erant to the com- panj to charge up lo certain limits, It can mean nothing else. y m . , "It was ot the purposo of the Legisla ture iu thU charier to simply prevent the company from exceeding certain limits in their charges, still retaining the right by future enactment to fix tbe rates of charges within theee limits. But the charter under consideration is explicit in its grant of this right, for it provides that 'the company shall be entitkd to charge not exceeding certain rates, that is, lit may charge any rate which does not exceed the rate named He quotes from the Supreme Court of the United States as to how such charters 'are to be con tinued. They are to be "fairly ex amined" and they are not to receive "a strained construction." They are to be interpreted as all language should be interpreted according to grammatical construction and its plain intent. Joggling wiUr wordB is not honest and no reputable court will alio M. Mr. Hinsdale says: "An examination of tbe charters of -the several railroad campanlf s in the State will dUc'.oee the fact -that the charters of tbe Raleigh & Gaston Railroad Gomptny, the Petersburg & Weldon Railroad Com pany, be Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Riiroad C.'Uipany, tbe Seaboard & Roan oka Railroad Company, tbe Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad Company and the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad Company, contain a -provision similar to that of tbe Wilmington & Wel don Rtilroad Company quoted above, by which tbey are permitted to charge certain maximum rates. I am Informed that not one of these companies ever baa charged np to the limits of their chatters." We do not propose to follow Mr. Hinsdale in his argument. We have cited the above, that our readers may learn something of the difficulties in the way of legislation, and the oper tions of a Commission after it has been created. North Carolina will have a Dlentv of suits on its hand if i , - the charters are invaded"a'nd the cor porations are robbed of their rights I tod privileges. Mr. Hinsdale closes - sy sayic The VirelLiarand Massachusetts ? tarns, which are adopted in all of tbe New, England snd several of tbe Western States, and which have proved so beneficial, owe tbeir ruccess to tbe fact that they do not grant such power." f The Massachusetts law is what the Stab favored four years ago, and what it now favors. Begin with that law. It has given full eatiefaotion fo (State literally oovered wan a thorough network of roads. It will be hazardous to apply the Georgia law to railroads working' under char ters perhaps very different from tboeo under which the Georgia roads oper ate. ' y THE REPORTED CABINET, The new Cabinet must be soon ap. pointed, if it has not been ap pointed. -It may not be finally com pleted, however, until the last hour. Methodist Bishops sometimes make changes in tbeir appointments at the last moment. Forty changes many of them sfflictive and unsatisfactory were made by Bishop Granbery, un der bad advice, at New Bern, after be bad dismissed his cabinet of advisers. Gen. Harrisou may have a pressure brought to bear upon him even as be goes to read his Inaugural Address. The credited selections at Indianapo- is on the 17th were as follows, ac cording to the diepatch to the New York Times: ' Secretary of State James O. Blaine, of Maine. 'Secretary of the Treaeurj William Witsdom, of Minnesota. Secretary of War Jerry Rusk, of Wis consin. fostmsst General John Wanamaker, of Pennsylvania. "Attorney General W. 11. U. Miller, ol Indiana. Secrerlary of tbe Navy John R. Thomas, of Illinois. Secretary of tbe Interior Gen. John W. Noble, cf Missouri. 8f crctary of Agriculture Warner Miller, of New York. If that should turn out to be tbe real Cabinet it will disappoint tbe country, and his party especially. It is a very light-weight concern, and is very badly distributed. The Timeis diepatch thus comments and analjzes: "Assuming that Gen. Harrison's Cabinet will be made np as slated, one thing cer tainly can be raid about it Blalnelsm pre dominates. No one, except W. H. H. Mil ler, objects to BUine. Windom and Rutk are pronounced Blaine men. ..Wanamaker. until this last campaign, when bo came un der tjaay's innuence, was a nearly mp. porter of Blaine. Thomas and Noble are subject to Blame lonaence, ana Warner Miller will not be suspected or going out of bis way to fight him. "uen. Harrison's balancing meory. in accordance with wh'ch the weight of the Cabinet was to be nicely adjusted between tbe East and I be West, seems to be at fault. Windom claims to be a Minnesota man; Rusk, filler, Thomas nd Noble are also Westerners, and the only Eastern men are Blaine. Wanamaker and Warner Miller, The Pacific slope gets nothing, and if there is not a 'kick' about that from California it will be very curious." : Without considering the low morale of the selections it is intel lectually a weak collection of parti sans. The country knows bat little of them as ft whole.' Blaine is very able man. Windom has good ability. Miller is only lair. The remainder are inconsequential nobo dies. Contrast such a Cabinet with that of bis honest and well meaning grandfather. Look at them Web ster, Ewing.'Bell, Badger, Granger, Crittenden. All of these were men pf natieaal reputations, ef high abilities, - and - of legislativo perience. They were among the i great men of the . country. '.We doubt if there was jver an abler (Cabinet. The above reported Cabi net for the 'grandson is as far. below the WnfgCabinet of 184lT tbe Pilot is below Mount Mitchell. .TUB KXOOCC -The Richmond Times has an edi- torial upon the, recent threatened disturbance at . Goldsboro. Tbe cause of the trouble, as we under stand it, was that the agents of emi gration beguiled! "the. unsuspecting darkey with rose-tinted stories of high wages, big privileges and bril liant future proepeots," and in doing this induced seven or eight hundred negro men to violate contracts al ready made with the farmers. It was at a time that seriously disar ranged all plans and made it exceed ingly difficult, if not impossible, to replace these enticed victims with suitable labor. The Wayne county farmers felt indignant and out raged that agents should come among them to rob tbem of their labor and thus leave their farms untitled. They determined at first that theee pallavering tools should not have their own sweet wills s&tibfied. But wiser after thought came to their aid, and the ignorant, credulous, bamboozled ne groes were permitted to depart There are tens of thousands of whites in North Carolina who, with the Times, concede 'the right of the ne groes to go anywhere they please and when, oven unto Jericho or Hong Kong, Kamkatska, Timbuctoo or Congo." But the farmers after they have made tbeir arrangements for cropping and their employed hands are at work, do not relish the annual influx of agents of emigra tion with their pictures in red and 'promises never to be realized. If this sort of thing is to continue farming now not profitable will be- w come impossible. The basis of a State's prosperity is agriculture. The Legislature should endeavor to pro tect the farmers against these yearly inroads on the part of emigration companies. Let tne negroes go by the hundred thousand if they aojwilL But unless contracts for JaJbor can be protected income way theBegroes wiirbecome so disorganized and un reliable it will be impossible to carry on farming with them. What then? The men who own lands must seek white labor. The negro in some re speots is the best labor the South can get. But the South must not become dependent on the negro. If he will go north, and live among the, people he foolishly regards as his special friends, be can do so and no obstacle will be placed in Lis way. But if be remains there ought to be some law to force him to regard bis contracts and to meet bis obligations. The Cape Fear ac WmfUj Railroad. Capt J. W. Pry, Superintendent of the C. P. & Y. V. R. R. arrived in this city yesterday in his private ear, ac companied by Major R. P. Atkinson, Chief Engineer, Mr. Bidgood, Audi tor, and Messrs. Williams, Myrover and Fry. ' Major Atkinson and Capt.

Hoarding Bona Robbery. Mr. P. F. Goddard, an employe of the Atlantic Coast Line, on the road between this city and Charleston, S. C found on his return yesterday morning from a trip to that place, that his trunk, left at Mr. Hayes' boarding house on Princess street, near Front, had been broken open and robbed of its contents, consist ing of about sixty dollars worth of clothing. It is thought the trunk was -robbed Monday night by a stranger who had been staying at tbe house for several days and who "turned np missing" yesterday, leav ing his board bill unpaid. He is de scribed as being of medium size, quick spoken and of pleasant address, and while here represented himself as a sign painter and gave bis name &8 Larkins. One of the articles sto lena pair of pants was found at a second-hand clothing store, where, the proprietor eaid, a man answering to tbe description of Larkins had made an exchange for a shorter pair Patriae WoooY - A representative of the Star was shown a fine specimen of petrified oak or sycamore at the Produce Exchange yesterday, which, came : from the banks of the Cape Fear river, about, twenty miles below Fayetteville.

The fee for ranks and membership is $10, and the annual dues $6. The growth of the order in the South, particularly during the last decade, has been remarkable. The uniform rank is a popular feature of the order, and is a semi military or ganization divided into 568 divisions with twelve separate regiments and thirteen brigades, composed ef thirty four regiments,numbering 22,000 men, all told, almost as large a body of men as the regular army of theTJnited States.

Supreme Representative J. A. Bonitz and Grand Representa tive R. B. Clowe have the matter in hand. At the conclusion of the address, the audience evinced their apprecia tion by continued applause, and on motion of Mr. W. H. Topp, Mr. Meares was requested to furnish a copy to the chairman of tbe meeting ith instructions for its publication. And on motion, also, the ebair appointed a committee of three one each from Stonewall No 1, Clarendon No. 2, and GermaniaNo. 4 to report to their different lodges the desire of the members of the order assembled, to have the address of Grand Chan cellor Meares printed in pamphlet form for distribution. A vote of thanks was tendered Wil mington Steam Fire Engine Company No. 1, for the use of their hall, and the meeting adjourned. A Bold Robbery- Yesterday morning about 11 o'clock Mrs. Chas. W. Anderson, who resides at 606 Ann street, left her kitchen for a few minutes, and on her return met a large colored woman coming out of the kitchen. The woman asked Mrs. Anderson if she wished to hire any one, and then ran into the street and into another yard. , Mrs. Anderson in the meantime had discovered that the woman had robbed her kitchen safe of all the cooked provisions, leaving her without dinner. She pur sued the woman and chased her into a lot near Seventh and Ann streets where the thief dropped her plunder and made her escape. Tbe woman is unknown, but Mrs. Anderson is sat isfied she can Identify her if she sees her again. Aaotbcr Maddan Deata. Mr. Robert Primrose, son of Rev. Jno. W. Primrose, pastor of St. An drew's Church, died at his father's residence in this city, after a brief illness. Mr. Primrose was taken sick last Friday with pneumonia, and his case was thought to be progressing favorably until he was seized with a congestive chill early yesterday morn ing, his death resulting therefrom a few hours afterwards. Mr. Primrose was only eighteen or nineteen years of age, and his death is a sad blow to bis family, who have the deepest sympathy of tbe community. He held a position in the auditor's office of tbe Atlantic Coast Line, and was highly esteemed by all. - River 8taaara-8part Arrcatara.

Washington, Feb. 18. At the eleventh hour tbe proposed Democratic House cau cus for to-night has been abandoned.

" Washxngtoh, Feb. 20 During the last session of Congress bills were Introduced in the House "to pnnish dealing io futures in agricultural products," and "to prohibit fictitious and gambling transactions on tbe price of articles produced by American farm industry." These bills were referred to the Committee oa Agriculture, which took the subject under consideration and heard argument in support of the bills. To day the committee took up the matter for disposition, and decided to report both bills adversely, and authorized the appointment of a sub-committee to draw np a report to that effect. The committee investigated the matter thoroughly and arrived at the conclusion that Congress has no jurisdic tion over this subject; that the limitations imposed by the Constitutionmake;it impro per for Congress to pass the measure pro posed, and that it is a matter for State le gislation exclusively. , ..r, - , ' Washington, February 20 The Presi dent to-day sent to Congress all the cor rsspondence which has taken place between this government and the government of Great Britain, in regard to the dismissal of Lord Sackville-West as Minister of Great Britain to tbe United States.

Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, February 19 The passage in the House of Representatives yesterday, on its second reading, of the bill to submit to tbe voters of Raleigh town ship the question of an increase of taxes' for graded school purposes, is looked upon as an indication of its final adoption as a law. The fight both for and against it has been heavy, as petitions on both sides have been freely circulated and numerously signed. It n tbe general impression that it will receive the sanction of the people by a considerable majority, as the colored peo ple and non-prpperty holders will vote for it almost unanimously. Governor Fowl is very energetic in his determination to have a general reform in the management of the penitentiary, and to this end he is obtaining all the information possible of tbe routine business of tbe in stitution. He has requested Colonel W. J. Hicks, tbe warden and architect to write out a statement to show what deficit exist ed on the 80th- of November, 1887. 81st of December, 1888, and 81st of January, 1889. Tbe proposed match game of foot ball between the Cbapel Bill and Wake Forest team, which was to have come off last evening at the Park in this city, bad to be postponed on account of the inclement weather. No time has yet been set at which it will take place. ' It is known that many negroes in this vi cinity who lately expressed a determination to join the exodus movement have gotten out of the notion, and the fever which ap peared to be somewhat spasmodic, has greatly abated. Only a hundred or so, at the most will leave Wake county. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather yesterday, tbe Governor's Guard took down a considerable number as an es cort to tbe Governor and party.

The Legislative train for New Bern will leave .here to-morrow morning at 7 o'clock, arriving at New Bern at 10.

A Pemocratie eanens was held last nignt ior tne consideration of. the election law. but nothing definite wa arrived at; the discussion was mostly of a random character. r, v When It is considered that ! the most Important measures of the ses sion are yet to be acted on,' it seemS almost impossible that . they can be disposed of , within the time now remaining for the Legislature. The railroad commission, revenue "bill, f tension matters, penitentiary, asy ums, and other appropriations, have not yet been considered to any ex tent, most of them being still in tbe hands of the committees.

Even if sessions are eld every night, it will barely clear the calendar with the most economic cal arrangement for discussion. . j The passage of the Raleigh school tax bill on its third reading in the House of Representatives yesterday, has somewhat dampened . the hopes of its opponents, who now acknow lege that it will become & law, and accepted at the polls.

Tbe boiler in Park Central Hotel, this city, blew up with a terrific force at 6 o'clock this morn ing, totally wrecking the en'ire front of the structure, which was a five story brick building. The entire fire department and police reserves were summoned. The ruins took fire and the work ot the firemen was greatly impeded by dense volumes of smoke and steam, The loss of lite Is estimated at from forty to seventy-five, but. it may be much less. Four persons, all probably fa ulty injured, have been taken from the ruins. - . , : -. -, - ' W ; Habtpoed, Conh February 16 The main portion of the Park Central Hotel, facing on High and Alien streets, fell down this morning a few momenta before S o'clock, burying in the debris at least fifty people. The cause of the accident is not at present known, but it is supposed to have resulted from the explosion of the boiler in the oasement,and from the havoc created In the adjoining buildings the explosion theory seems the most probable. Every window in tbe Sari House, right across Allen street, was broken, and the walls were smashed in many places. V -k-. o-ma ,.? The noise of tbe fall aroused the whole clty.and io a very few minutes a large crowd surrounded .tbe scene.. It was a sight of horror, and one that .will never be forgot ten by tbe spectators.- Flames completely enveloped the ruins, and the shrieks of the wounded and dying rose high above the hoarse notes of the firemen and police, who had been summoned by tbe alarm from tbe. fire department V At this hour (9 a. m.), It is almost impos sible to give a detailed accounts the people who escaped from the annex are too fright ened to be able to talk intelligently. - The following is a partial list of those who occupied rooms in the hotel, and who are believed to be in the ruins: Louis H. Bresson and wife, of Hartford; M. Galady, editor of the German Herald; Andrew Whiting and wife, of thia city; D wight H. Buell. of this citv. Wellington Ketcbum. proprietor of the hotel, and his wife and son Eddie, :-; . .: -- ' - It is the most horrible catastrophe that has ever been known in Hartford, -and when the list of deaths and wounded is completed it will be found to equal any that has taken nlace in tbe last nail century, The Iocs of life is believed to be not leas than flf tv. bnt it cannot be stated definitely. as the night clerk is among the missing and the books are destroyed. Among the missing are George Engler, drug clerk, of Hartford, George 8. Ketch- um. brother of the proprietor of the hotel. Rev. Dr. Perrin and wife, secretary of the Congregational Trust Society, w. 'nno son. commercial traveller, ana Mr. aiitfles. 21 e, I safe agent. Nothing had beerTseen or heard of any of the above at 6:80, and they are ail believed to be buried in the ruins. Nearly all of the help employed In tbe hotel were saved. They occupied sleeping apartments in the annex, which was only partially wrecked by the explosion. Some forced their way out themselves, while oth ers were helped out The entire main section of tbe hotel is gone, only a pile of brick and the timbers remaining. The scenes about the ruins were horrible. In the centre of the snot where the build' ing stood were a man. his wife and little girl. No help could get to them, and tbey finally fell back into the flames and perish ed in plain sight of tbe spectators. Tbe child cried for help, but the man and woman uttered so word. Embraced in each others' arms they met death bravely, Tbe shrieks of another woman caused the blood of the spectators to turn cold as, they saw tbe young lady lying with her body half across a beam with a look of agony on her face. Finally the Support fell, and she dropped out or sight Wm. Seymour and Wm. Skinner were employed ia the boiler room. Neither could be found this morning, and they possibly relished. Park Central Hotel was situated at tbe corner ot Allyn and High streets, about one block from Union Depot, and was principally patronized by commercial men ana theatrical troupes. -Women with voices blanched in terror 'and strong men pale with fright rushed headlong into the street in their night clothes. Chas, M. "Webster, insurance agent of this city, is missing. Mr tfond. of the Indianapolis Democrat, was a guest at the hotel, and is supposed to be among the killed. At about 1 o'clock, amid enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, landlord Ketch am and wife were taken out alive and able to drink some hot coffee with relish. No small wonder, considering they had been imprisoned in their night clothes in the cel lar with a flood of water pouring in on them. The extent of their Injuries cannot be ascertained at present They were taken to the hospital. Others taken out dead are J. CL HilL commercial traveller: Mr. and Mrs. Brooson and Geo. M. Gaines, night porter, ine rescue or living but in urea people continues from time to time. The flames in the wreck have been quenched. ine notei was built about nrteen years ago, and cost with furniture $120,000. The soil was soft and although the building was caref ally built it soon settled badly. About nve years ago Ketchum took the lease and renovated and refurnished the house, The insurance is 133. UW. Nothing has been found up to this writ ing to explain . the disaster. The boilers have not been reached. Tbe explosion broke glass iu buildings a block away, Most of the bodies thus far found came frbm the tier of sleeping rooms on the south side. The persons rescued alive were all asleep and can offer no suggestion. There are reports afloat that tbe night en gineer was dissipated and wss in tbe habit of leaving bis post and drinking. A sug gestion is made that he did this last night and finding the water low in the boiler when he came in, turned more into the overheated boiler. He is supposed to be dead in the ruins. - Habtfobd.
