THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1890. A SOUTHERN BEPTJBLICAN PRO TEST, i '; The Greensboro North StateJ the leading Republican paper of the State, is manly enough and patriotic enough to thus protest to the infamous and slanderous speecn of Speaker Reed, recent ly delivered at Pittsburg : " Speaker Reed was the guest of a political club at Pittsburg, Pa., last Saturday night. To a Republican who lives quietly in the South, the remarks made by the Speaker suggest thoughts involving an idea that Northern Republicans never can live long enough to get a practical idea of the South. i j " Why don't they come down here, ! stay awhile, and learn something about the political status ? Many of the statements made by the Speaker in relation to Southern politics are mislead ing. Speaker Reed is a man formed by nature in a generous mould. He cannot be prejudiced or narrow minded. He is bold, brilliant and audacious. There is nothing small about him physically or mentally. His political notions and impres sions about the South are bor rowed, and probably come from those who are interested in keeping the two sectibns es tranged." - We j cannot see how a man "formed in a generous mould" and who " cannot be prejudiced or narrow-minded," and who has associated with Southern gentlemen so long as he. can deliberately utter that which he knows are disgraceful false hoods.; It is not our idea of a gentleman. The other remarks of the North State are creditable to it, and the more so that it seems ;to be an exception among Republicans of the South. To be a I latter-day Republican, however, seems to indicate a surrender of all that is either manly; or honorable. j TIME FOR REALIZATION. The New York Times hits the farmers of the country the fol lowing hard rap on the subject of taxation: "The farmers have a good deal to learn on the subject of taxation. While thev are com plaining of State and local taxes and the crushing weight of their mortgages, they forget the na tional taxes and the blessings of the protective policy for which they are paying. It is in reality) the national taxes that are crushing them. They sell the products of their land at prices fixed by competition in the markets of the world. They pay for what they buy at prices fixed by a tariff that enables monopolies and combinations of manufacturers to draw enor mous profits from the consumer of their products That is just where the farmers" burdens come from."' j This "is truly what is crushing the life; out of the agricultural interests. Everything that far- 1 i mers use is taxed under a, pro tective tariff, thus compelling farmers to pay tribute to manu facturers and monopolists.- Ev erything the farmers sll except wool,, is sold in competition with the markets of the world. Can not farmers begin to .realize whv thev are i rushed : EDITOIUAT- PARAGHAPSS.

The are news tnat tne negroes not to be "counted" in the census enumeration has spread among! that race with wonder ful rapidity.

This is cer tainly j the fee Carolina. ing in North petroleum in any quantity. Apart from the profit to be made by those immediately in terested, the enterprise, if it comes up to expectations, should benefit the Mexican Cen tral Railway, on which line the wells are situated. QUICK AS IilGHTNlNG. Air Telegrams! Sent Through the Without Wires. An official dispatch! received at the Signal Office from Gen. Greely at Fort Bayard, N. M., was transmitted from Fort Bay ard to Prescott, Ariz. , a distance of 600 miles, by the heliograph system of flashing of sunlight. This system was used success fully by Gen. Miles in the Apache campaign, and it is now in operation over a line of a thousand miles in Arizona and New Mexico. It is used quite extensively in the British army and by some other foreign pow ers. ; Beside filling a long felt want in army movements on the plains- it will probably be adopted fpr transmitting elec tion returns from back counties. The Kentucky Senator-ship. A j Frankfort (Ky.) dispatch states that ex-Speaker Carlisle arrived in that city Thursday evening and announced to his friends that he is a candidate for the United States Senator ship as the successor of the late Hon. James B. Beck. Con gressman McCreary, ex-Gov. J. Proctor Knott, Judge Lindsay, and Hon. James A. McKenzie are also announced as candi dates. It is believed Mr. Car lisle will lead on the first ballot, with; Mr. McCreary a close sec ond. In the event of a pro longed contest it is understood the friends of Gov. Buckner will bring him forward as a compro mise s candidate. In the mean time it is very apparent that the Republicans are afraid that the choice will fall upon Carlisle. It Wasn't Hers. In a street car bound down town the other day there was as pretty; dainty a little lady as one would wish to see. She was followed into the car by a white aproned and capped colored girl with a year old baby, all pink and white plumpness, that kept its eyes fastened on the lady. It was the early part of the after noon and baby was clearly out for an airing. The lady looked twenty-two or twenty-three years old. She was dressed in cool gray, and the glossy plait of her brown hair was twisted into a heavy coil at the back of her gracefully poised head,) top ped by a chic hat. The nurse with the baby in her arms sat next to the lady, and they made a pretty pioture. The plump, bright eyed baby and the smart looking girl, who had not lost her girlish freshness and grace in matronly cares. Every one in the car admired them, and tracedj resemblances in the two facesj one that of a perfect baby, the other as a perfect woman. The man with a brown beard on the other side of the car looked wistfully as he thought of the baby he had lost, the car penter! who carried a big bundle of tools smiled as he thought of a little one just as dear, even if it did not wear t so much lace and embroidery, and even the re porter (thought of a black-eyed baby who would welcome his home coming. Even the con ductor! was s lost in admiration that he forgot the street indica tor until he was four squares behind. When he collected the fares lithe brown-haired lady gave Him a ten-cent piece, and he rang up two fares. 1 ; "I gave you ten cents," she said. ; ! "Oh, why isn't it your I beg your pardon," stammered (the conductor. And after j giving the baby a nickel he went back of a colored man of Kansas ! on the platform and laughed, named MeCabe, at one time ! As th 7ounZ ladv realized the Auditor of that!
