Asheville, Ji Office : No. 10 N. Court Square. THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 189 t ; : : : f THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. Qov. Fowle's message as read in the House of Represen tatives on Thursday last. After, reviewing the slate debt he thinks there need be no increase of State taxes -if we can get a fair valuation of lands on a cash basis. He urges ) the appoint ment of a board of equalizat; on ot tax assessments in: the new assessment of this year. . 1 On the subject j of education, the Governor expressed very pronounced views. He cited the provision ot tne constitution to at equal facilities; .though not in the same institutions. He had some correspondence with the Secretary of the Interior about the, portion that" would be com ing to this State, but a&we had at that time made no provision for negro pupils, the Secretary of-the Interior Ihadj concluded that North Carolina was not en titled to share in the und. Since tnen an arrangement had been made with Dr. Tupper, of Shaw University , by w hich the pro fessors of tljPe. Agricultural Col lege teach ajthe Shaw Univer sity a course similar J to that at the college. But since that zjt- ramremet was made J he has re- ceived no reply front the secre tary as to whether the terms of the act were sufficiently com plied with. He referred the sub ject to the Legislature. His review of the I rapid rail way progress which orth Car olina is making and the interest of thei State in various roads was satisfactory. I Swamp lands I have been sold to the amount of $46 000. The fact thatthe Penitentiary under the able management of requiring) the! commissioners .ke&p the public schools open least four months in each year, and referred to the obstacle in their way of cloing that because oi me uimiciwuii vl imlciiivii. r ! He indicated that the legisla tu're might fin(J a way out of the difficulty, as the commis- V sioners now 'levied the tax for county purposes first and lpft . the school tax for the last; and the Supreme Court has held that they cannot exceed the limit for school purposes. J s The reuort of the Superintend ent of Public Instruction showled that while the general tax the United States was $2.11 i -head for each school child, Korth Carolina it was only in a . -i m 40 Gents. .But in one township the SENATORS INSTRUCTED. , The entire democratic force of the Legislature voted for the following resolution of instruc tions to our Senators. The res olution was introduced by Mr. Holman and amended by Mr. Patterson, Mr. Holman accept ing the amendment. It reads Fas follows :i Resolved, by tbe House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, that our Senators in the Ffty-first and Fifty-second Congress of the United States be and they are hereby instruc ted, and our Representatives are requested, to vote for and use all honorable means to secure the i financial reforms as demanded in the platform adopted by the Ocala meeting of the National Farmers' Alliance held in De cember, 1890. Mr. Patterson moved to amend so that the; resolution should read : That our Senators in the 51st and 52nd Congress of the United States be and they are hereby instructed, and our Representatives are reques ted, to vote for and use all hon- orabls means to secure the ob- over northern Italy from which the people, unaccustomed to and unprepared for it, have suffered keenly. There is much suffer ing also in Spain, and it, is said some have, perished from the cold, on the streets-of Paris Over the tJnited lOngdom the long freeze has caused the great est distress, and it is said many have perished for want of food and shelter.

He briefly compliiiiented the work Of the Attorney General's "V. office and endorsed the tions of constitutional and other recommendations sugges-revision of the Attorney General js report. There were 4,051 pensioners, of whom 2,522 1 were widows; ana yne amount disbursed was 87,496. Enlarging the .widow class decreases the atriount the i poor, indigent wounded soldiers would receive. Only one county has failed to collect the tax for I V the old veterans. I The status of the various State charitable institutions were re viewed. i ; i -r I 1 - sum oi zj;,uuu iiciu ueen raisea ancl it contained only 4,548 chil dren, being 4.09 for each child. The general average of the money raised for school poses is $1.22 for ! each school age. He recommends that the leg islature should compel the pub lic schools to be kept open the wholb term of four months, and that a law be passed allowing ts ts contemplated in the platform adopted by the Ocala meeting of the Farmers' Alliance, held December, 1890. Mr. . Holman accepted the amendment, j a any township to increase own taxation and maintain scools even for a longer period; and that the school district br township that taxed itself should be credited in the State tax for educational purposes with the amount it raised for that purpose. The average term is now but sixty days, being three days les than in 1888. The enjtife educa tional receipts for 1890 we::e $718,225. The children of school age number 588,G88j the number enrolled is 332,533, and the at erage attendance 203,100. Gov. Fowle warmly favors liberal support'for the Univer sity and recommended the ap pointment of a legislative com mittee to see what it would cos't to make it effective. He also recommends trainin schools for teachers. ! He recommended V tonnage tax on fertilizers to lake; the place of the old law taxing fer tilizers, which has been declared unconstitutional. The Agricultural Experiment Station's work was commended and with the fundlYom the National Hatch act at is self sustaining. - , ) . Of the successful work of the Agricultural and Mechanical College he spoke in warm term's of praisie. He referred to the act of Con gress of 1802 donating land grants to agricultural colleges, and to the actof 1890 appropri ating $15,000 to such colleges, and with an additional appro , priation of 1,000 a year for ten years, and then $25,000 a year thereafter. But there was in this act a provision requiring instruction to both races, with He recommended legislation in regard to public roads. He devoted,consi(ieTrble space to the oyster interests and urged t 1 fieri ftlntinn fliA (iptnilc nf Auifh pur-. he outlined, to promote the oys- cllikllof I ter.bnsinpsR and to -Tvrotpt, onr interest from the oyster pirates of Virginia and! Maryland. He complimented very highly the State Guard, which now consists of four regiments, one troop of ;ckvalry and one colored company in all 1,503, fully ujii fojmeo! and equipped! He said that the presence of a single company at Rocky Molmt in 1890 had saved the State more prop erty than the entire, Guard had cost. '. . ; , f , He adverted to the! encamp ment at Wrightsville, where the citizens were now erecting A MISTAKE. At the last meeting of the City Council the office of Sanitary Inspector was abolished, in or der to reduce expenses. This is a mistake, and ought to be rem edied at the next meeting. t would be poor economy should an epidemic break out in Ashe ville through the neglect of the city to guard against such a thing. p."hc visitors in our city would leave, while it would de ter others from coming, and would workian incalculable in jury that it might take years to overcome and might destroy Asheville's reputation altogeth er as a health resort. Can we afford to run sueh a risk? In order to save a few hundred dollars a year we run the risk of losing thousands. Economize! in some other direction and let us have an energetic, fearless sanitarv officer. Evidently, says the New York Star, Senator Quay feels it in cumbent upon him to endeavor to free himself from the imputa tion of being: a weak-kneed' re publican on account of his repu ted opposition to the Fraud and orce Election Dili. lne new Election bill that he has iniro duced in the Senate seems to be even more drastic than the Hoar and Lodge measure. This bill gives the President power to suspend the habeas corpus writ and to employ the army and navv for its enforcement when ever he wishes so to do.

Dr. Abbrnathv announces that he has contracted for the re building of Rutherford College. He has raised half the money necessarv and calls confidently on public spirited citizens to raise the rest. The doctor is a "hustler" and will get there: We have received the annual report of Attorney-General Da vidson. It congratulates the State upon the successful issue of litigations, stronerlv urges constitutional revision and sug gests the creation of two degrees of murder to give doubtful iu- fes more latitude for verdicts. The report is full m detail and wise reflection. 1 We learn that many of the Texas cities in convention have called upon the Legislature to appropriate $1 ,000,000 in order to show the Texas products at the World's Fair and convince the world in the language of one of the Texans that the State can raise something outside, cotton aim ii i. iNortn tjarouna is asked to give only $25,000. - Subscribe for The Democrat.
