2 THE LEGISLATURE HOLDS ITS FIRST J’iITER * 0 3 Came Together to Elect a Board. REMAINED TO QUARREL LIVELY DEBATE OVER WILSON report. SPECIAL OROER FOR NEXT TUESJAT The Report Will be Primed by That Time. An rtfitrno»i Ses ion »f the House. A Perfect Deluge of New Bills. Special orders have been fixed iu the House as follows: lutnic iriiuuiig Bills —Thursday at 11 o clock. Election of directors for School for Deal aud Dumb at Morgantoti—Thurs day at 12 o’clock. < The lusurauce Bill—Thursday at 12 o’clock. Appropriation for State Guard—Fri day, 11 o'clock. Jim Crow Car Bill—Friday, 12 o’clock. Reiiort ou Wilsons—Tuesday at 11 o’clock. Change of Congressional Districts— Wednesday at 12 o’clock. The House got mighty “smart” yes terday. Au industrious streak struck it, and it worked like a beaver. From 10 to 2.15. front » to 6:15- these are the hours it toiled and spun out statutes for the law-abiding and God-fearing citizens to live np to. You could fairly hear things hum. Now and then a belt would slip and some fellow would fly off at a tangent of talk. As a rule, however, la* was not en couraged in this career, and things were soon brought back to their normal status. It was the first afternoon session the House has held, and probably it will he the last. This one was held be cause there could bo uo night session, the Democratic caucus having right of way. Yesterday saw the introduction of the lnrgett number of bills yet laid before the House in any one day. They came in by ones and twos and threes, even by eights. For this latter is the number Mr. Craig, of Buncombe, hauled out of his inside pocket and sent up to the clerk’s desk. The reason for this deluge of would be laws is that the mails have been de layed several days. And yesterday’s bill crop represented the accumulating since the storm began. THE FIRST JOINT SESSION. A Board of Internal Improvements Chosen By It. Exactly at 1:12 o’clock yesterday the first joint session of the House and Senate of the General Assembly of 1890 began. Exactly two hours later it ended. The Senators tiled solemnly in. pre ceded by Lieutenant Governor Reynolds and by President of the Senate Smith. The House received them standing. Both Speaker Connor and Lieutenant Governor Reynolds presided. Speaker Connor invited the Senators to in me House, and Governor Reynolds called the General Assembly to order. “We have met for the election of a Board of Internal Improvements—one from each Congressional district,” he said. “Nominations are in order. Clerk will call the roll of districts.” As the roll was called the following nominations were, made: First District —E. F. Lamb, of Pas quotank county; nominated by Senator Skinner. Second District—T. W. Grainger, of Lenoir; by Mr. Allen, of Wayne. Third District—W. J. Adams, of Moore: by Senator Robinson. Fourth District—Armistead Jones, of Wake; by Mr. Botishall, of \\ ake. Fifth District —Chas. M. Parks, of Orange; by Mr. Gattis, of Orange; also J. W. Spainhour (ltep.), of Burke; by Mr. Petree, of Stokes. Sixth District —R. D. Caldwell, of Robeson: by Senator Mclntyre.

The Senate vote was 25 for the Democratic nominees, am, 2 for the Re publicans. The House vote: 74 for the Demo crats and 11 for the Republicans. Total— Democrats, l»t!t; Republicans, 14. "It looks like tin* tilings g»nte Demo cratic,” laughed Senator Gledu, as the vote was announced. \ END OF JUDGE BROWN mVtTER Resolution Withdrawn and All \Rofer ence to it Erased. \ The resolution for the inipeuctnn.*ilt of Judge Brown, introduced Tue.sdjA by Mr. White, of Davie, was yesterday! re ported back to the House by Mi-. of Wayne, chairman of tin* JudicijLy committee. On its back was the following ~M-dorst dorst incut: m “The Judiciary t-ounnitte reports tft the House of Representatives that jX lias carefully considered the annex, >,jW resolution aud that uo evidence nas jJIL-cii | furnishul proving the charges therein contained. ".Mr. White, of Davie, introducer of the resolution, appeared before the com mittee and being examined under oatlii stated that h did not know Judge Brown, and had no personal knowledge of the charges contained in the resolu tion. Your committee at the request ol Mr. White, procured the attendance of all the witnesses lie desired and these and other witnesses were examim d. The evidence has not established any fact that would reflect niton the official or private character or conduct of” Judge Brown, and all the witnesses agreed that he had earned and deserved the reputa tion of an able, upright, learned and sober judge. “At the coiu-lusiiin of the evidence Mr. White stated )<• the committee that lie was satisfied that there was nothing ii the charge and requested the committee to report 'lie resolution unfavorably and to recommend to the House of Rep resentatives that all record of the mat ter be expunged from the Journal and that he have leave to withdraw his reso lution. ".Messrs. Hampton. Petree and Wil liams. of Graham, leading Republican members of the House, came before tli committee and joined iu the request. <•[ Mr. White, and stated that they knew nothing of the resolution before it was introduced, that it was *not inspired by the Republicans in the House, and that they thought Mr. White had been im posed on . "We therefore recommend that th, resolution do not pass, that Mr. W bite be allowed to withdraw the same, and that all record otf the proceedings there on be expunged from the Journal. At the conclusion of the reading o the above. Mr. White arose and said: “There was, as I proved to the coni mitteo, a rumor here as to Judge Brown being intoxicated. Having h ard thb report 1 considered it but justice to him, to the judiciary and to the people of th* State that it be investigated. It was to this end that I introduced that resolu tion. Investigation proved that then was no foundation to the charge, therefore ask permission to withdraw the resolution, and I further request fli.r all reference to it on the Journal be ex pungtd.” The resolution was withdrawn and given to Judge Allen, who has sent i to Judge Brown. AH reference to the resolution has been stricken from the Journal. A SEPARATE CAR LAW. The House Will Make Another Attempt To-Morrow. The House shied at the Jim Crow Car gain yesterday. Indeed, it went off down the lane for awhile at a pace that threatened to knock all plans into a cocked hat. But it didn’t. When we were headed off we found that no harm had been done, except that we seemed further from a Separate Car Law than we have been at any time during the ses sion. At the conclusion of the morning hour Mr. McLean, of Harnett, moved that the rules be suspended and the Separate Car Bill, reported Vy the Committee on Railroads be reported. The bill reported to the House by the Railroads, be taken up*. Mr. Winston amended to strike out the proviso to section 1, excepting certain weak roads from the operation of the law. Mr. Gilliam moved that the bill be printed and made a special order for noon, on Thursday. Then Mr. Winston sent forward a substitute to the bill. Mr. McLean said he also had some time ago introduced a substitute bill and he wanted that printed. Mr. Davis, of Haywood, amended to make the bill the special order for Fri day. Mr. Williams, of Iredell, obpeeted to the wholesale printing of hills, on the ground of cost. He thought the com mittee bill with the proposed amend ments was enough to print. He thought we had been waiting all this time for the committee to report. Mr. McLean said he proposed to intro duce his bill as a substitute whenever the matter came before the House. Mr. Gilliam moved that the report of, theeommitte. with all the amendments j and all substitutes, be printed. Mr. Moore, of Jackson, said with] all these bills the House was fixing to get into a tangle. “We have referred these bills to the committee just to get clear of all this confusion. That committee has careful- j ly considered the bills and has reported hack to the House a bill. I move that that bill and that, alone, with the pro posed amendments, be printed.” The motion prevailed. And so to-morrow at*noon the House will again drive up to the “Jim Crow Car” bugaboo. Will it be familiar enough with it not to shy again? We shall see. ,* WANTS NO TAX COMMISSION. The House Can’t Get Over the Board of Equalization. During the afternoon session tiiere were only two debates of any kind. The first one was over Mr. James' lan to fix a uniform and standard measure for timber. The other was over Mr. Thompson’s bill to establish a Tax Com mission. j Mr. James did most of the talking on his timber bill. He explained that the lumber business was one of the principal industries of this State, and he thought the owners of the timber ought to have some protection. He thought, this hil'l gave it. Two years ago lie had had such a law passed for his own and some other counties, and the results had lteen most satisfactory. It was for this rea son. he said, that in* was now asking its extension to the whole State. But the whole State declined Mr. James’ gift, and when he insisted they pelted him with amendments until it must have been a positive relief to him to see Ids bill pass to its long home on the table. The other bill debated soon joined it there. It was strongly supported by Mr. Thompson, of Onslow, its author, but it looked too much like a Board of Equali zation to get through. Mr. Boushall, of Wake, was the only man bold enough to walk up and take it boldly by the hand and bill it welcome. He had something to say about the poor man paying all the taxes and the rich man paying none at all. or words to that effect. The other members only glanced timid ly over their shoulders at it and scamp ered off to the' woods of the uegulive. with visions of Boards of Equalization Hitting through their brain. It was in vain that Mr. Thompson anti Mr. Boushall told them the board was to be composed of three men elect ed by the Legislature and paid $250 each a year; that they had no tax rais ing powers, or any powers at all other than to study the tax subject, make in vestigation ns -to what was being taxed and what was not taxed, and how the taxes levied could best be collected. '1 his report is to he made to the next legislature. Mr. Williams, of Iredell, thought ail ibis sounded mighty fine*, hut he didn’t think it would pan out. “Too much like a Board of Equaliza tion.” exclaimed Mr. Julian. “I'm afraid of it. Why half of my campaign speech was about that Board of Equalization that the Republicans put on us—bow a young fellow down here in Raleigh, with patent-leather shoes and hair parted in the middle was put ting the value on mules and bull calves, and all that sort of thing. No, sir. I’m against your bill.” THE DAY’S bUS NESS. PETITIONS PRESENI ol). Petition of citizens of Pitt county against a dispensary. By Nichols, of Pitt. Committee ou Propositions and Grievances.

WILSON FOR RAIL ROAD COMMISSIONER. a To the Editor: I have all along been convinced that whatever be the outcome of tin* Russell-Wilson case. Maj. Wil soil ought to he placed on the new com mission, I candidly think that a failure to right this wrong to one of tin* purest and best men in our State, would re dound to the hurt of the Democratic party and of the entire people. I fully concur in the opinion of a large number of North Carolinians that no other man in the State is so singu larly and fully equipped for the duties of, this office. Manifestly that was the opinion of the! Democratic Legislature which elected] him without, I believe, a dissenting vole. | Highly as the people of Western North Carolina regard Maj. Wilson, they do; not seem to realize the enormousness of the debt they owe him for the con struction of the Western North Caro lina Railroad. Many of our people yet remember when Mr. Wilson in the strength of his young manhood, shared the common privations of his men. sleeping on the ground, as he afterwards did on the field; of battle, while pushing this line through our part of the State. He knows all about railroads, from spike-driving to presiding over the des tinies of a great syndicate, and knows.] better than any other man. what legis TRULY A SPECIFIC.

Physicians with their usual caution rarely use language so direct and positive as that employed by Dr. Burchmore, but they rareh lia\e mp- i a remedial agent as Warner’s Safe Cure t » talk about. Dr. Burchmore declares with that feeling of responsibility which never deserts a conscientious physician.

Amongst the hundreds of tom fool notions which have gained prevalency under Fusion misrule, none is more pregnant of evil to our State than that of railroads are the enemies of the people. The wisest State is that which offers most inducements to railroad building— to investment of capital in all business. With Maj. Wilson on the commission all the railroads would feel sure of equit nble treatment. But how about the people? A hare suggestion from any source. Wilson could do any thing he thought wrong or hurtful to the masses of North Carolina, would insult those of us who have known so long his utter purity, courage and 'Uncompro mising integrity.

To the Editor: I was interested in the account you published this morning of the impeachment of Judge Jones. There is <>ne point that you omitted which, perhaps, it would be well for me to mention. I happen to renumber it having been one of the managers charged by the House with the duty of conduct ing the impeachment. A question was raised: Could Jmlg. Jones resign after he had been impeached—the impeach ment consisting in the resolution of the House, being communicated' to the Sen ate. In order t<favoid that question and to permit Judge Jones to legally resign, the articles of impeachment were by act of the House, formally withdrawn from the Senate. I mention this for tin* consideration of our friends in connec tion with the impeachment and resigna tion of Judge Norwood. One under im peaehmoint should not escape trial b resigning; to dispense with the trial the House should withdraw its articles aud open the way for his resignation to ho accepted. At least such was th * view taken in the ease of Judge Jones, if I remember rightly. S. A. ASHE. TOBACCO WAREHOUSE CRUSH ED BY SNOW. Louisburg. X. C.. Feb. 15.—(Special.) —Snow here nearly two feet deep. Ther mometer last night two degrees below zero. On Sunday night the large brick warehouse known as Riverside was crushed by tin* weight of snow. More than 250,000 pounds of tobacco were stored in it, out the loss to this will be small. The house is in a wreck. Physicians are notoriously cautious in recommending anything, and they rarely use language direct and positive. Yet Dr. Burchmore, one of the leading phy sicians of Boston, has written the fol lowing letter which is unmistakable in tone. He says: Boston, Oct. Ist. 3s'9s. “Gentlemen: I take great pleasure in sending to you my endorsement of your excellent rombdy, as there is no question regarding its remarkable therapeutic value. 1 speak from my experience of its use in th<* Suffolk Hospital and Dis pensary. during my term of service.
