The meeting show. that the road is largely in the hands of men of the North who naturally care nothing a!out the State or the road except so far as they can get money out of it.

There was an increase of $13,375. 15 in maintenance of way and struc tures oyer that of 1892, pjincipally due to the maintenance of the in creased mileage occasioned by the opening of the Washington branch, twenty-live miles, on May 19th, 1872, and to the opening of the Wilson Short Line from Fayetteville to Row land, 42.4 miles, on March 2Sth, 18(J2; $5,352.00, the cost of the new passenger station building at Wilson, was also charged to this account. ' An increaseof $26,569.84 in main tenance of equipment is principally due to the expenditure of $9,354.34 ror the new passenger equipment, $14,167 for new freight equipment, auu oj me operation or the pair shops at South Rocky Mount, which were opened in April, 1893, $16,850 the cost of two "x' compound passenger and freight lo comotives, also charged to this ac count- An increase of $32,720.67 in con ducting transportation is due to in creased mileage operated and to in creased business, which is shown by an increase of 19.1 per cent, in tons one mile. In addition to these increased ex penses, the item of "general expens es" is $21,097.85 larger than last year. Wre suppose this amount was used to convince the last legislature that it was not in the interest of the people to tax the road like other peo ple are taxed, and therefore that the back taxes, which were due and could have been collected, should not be collected. Or some of it may have been used to help out the Dem- np.ratic machine in campaign work ONE DEMOCRATIC PAPER CONDEMNS IT The Roanoke News, commenting upon the conduct of the pepper and rotten egg Democracy of 'Monroe, says : "We condemn anything of that kind.

The message of fiov. Benjamin R. Tillman is vigor ous and interesting. He discusses w ith vigorous language and at great length the decisions of the I'nited States Supreme Court and the Circuit Court on the con flict of jurisdiction in regard to a seizure made by a State constable upon a railroad which was in the hands of a United States receiver by the cou iL In the course of his remarks he said : COV. TILLMAN. "There is no law for this unwar ranted interference on the part of the I'nited States court; there is nothing in the I'nited States Consti tution to warrant it. The authors of that instiument never dared to set up any such claim, and the court only obtains it by 'violent assump tion of power,' which is the essence of tyranny. That it has required a century for judicial insolence to go so far is sufficient proof that it has no basis in law or justice, and could only spring from that perpetual grasping after more power which has characterized the judges' of the Lrnited States Circuit and District courts. It is high time for congress express limitations retain the un licensed aud iniquitous powers exei cised by the courts in this matter of receiverships. "There is talk in some quarters, and a growing demand tor govern ment ownership of railroads; for these corporations, whether in the nands of receivers or of the owners themselves, have found such ready and willing tools among the Federal udges, who are ever ready to stand letween them and the people in their efforts to restrain them within reas onable bounds, that no other mode of relief appears possible. "This is not a desiraule solution of the problem and I do not advocate The Federal judiciary, without any statutes on the subject, or com paratively few, limiting or defining their powers, control one-fifth of the railroads in the United States with out respons'bility to anybody, with out any one to overlook them or their agents, the receivers ; without any accouuting to be had for the mil- ions and hundreds of milli ns of dollars of these 'wards in chancery;' issuing receivers' certificates, which are preferred liens on the property ; imprisoning the State's officers when they attempt to collect taxes ; arrest ing our constables for the slightest interference even with freight they haul ; bargaining with the receivers for the employment of kinspeople or favorites, and congress sits idly by watching this more than Russian absolutism with seeming indifference. The unholy marriage between the 'dignity' of the Federal court, and these harlot corporations must be annulled, aud the owners of the bonds made to understand that there is a point beyond which the patience of the State will not permit them to Regarding the dispensary law, he saiu : : 1 - "The dispensary has been more than self-sustaining, and the net profits to the State for the first four mon ths have been $32,198.16. But, notwithstanding this revenue is not to be despised, the law does not rest on a revenue basis, was not enacted for that purpose, and cannot be de fended on that ground. It rests wholly on its claim to being the best method of controlling the evils which are inherent and inseparable from the intemperate use of liquors, and must stand or fall on its merits as compared with other methods of controlling the evils. "As to the question of beer, I am inclined to believe that it will be in the interest of temperance to exempt it from the dispensary law altogether ' ' GOLDSBOHO, X.

They are all based upon the same principle of a public ownership of the streets and hignways and a power to grant franchises to a third person, which the municipality, if it chooses, may reserve to itself. Whet li er the State should go furfher and take to itself the proprietorship of railways and canals may be left to be determined by the success of minor undertakings in the same diiection. I see no reason to doubt why, under government control, these" works should not be carried on with as 'it tie friction, as little danger of strikes and as satisfactorily to the public as the postollice establishment is at present."

In the Artists' Exhibition of 1JS.:J at the New ork Academy of De sign," there was exhibited au oil painting by J. L. 0. Ferris, entitled "Sweet Charity." Its richness of coloring commanded instant atten tion, while the lesson it taught was so impressive that one naturally re turned to it for a second view. Its subject is a young lady of colo nial times who is on an errand to one of the poorer families of the town. She has a sensible, chainiing face, which expresses with remarkable fidelity the sentiment of her errand. There is not a home that this charm ing picture will not ornament. It must be seen to be appreciated. "Sweet Charity" was purchased by the Publishers of The Youth's Com panion and has been reproduced in colors in large size, 14-2x21. It will be sent to all new subscri bers to The Companion who send $1.75 for a year's subscription, and the paper will also be sent Free from the time the subscription is received, to January, 1894, and for a full year from that date, to January, 1895 This offer includes the Double Sou venir Numbers published at Thanks giving, Christmas and New Year's. Address The Youth's Companion, Boston, Mass, Up to date the laurels achieved by the Cleveland administration are not calculated to encourage those who fondly hoped that the final success of democracy meant the re-establishment of Jeffersonian principles. As a blind worshiper of the golden idol and slavish tool of the banks Cleve land surpasses any federalist or re publican from Hamiltou to Hani son. The sale of the offices to con gressmen to influence their votes aud to Van Allen and others as remun eration for campaign contributions has been a debauchery of the civil service by a professed reformer that would disgrace Flanagau, of Texas, or the most blear-eyed cub of the Tammany Tiger. The Noncon formist, Edward Bellamy has written the story of "How I Came to Write, 'Looking Backward,' " for The La dies' Home Journal." He will tell, in connection with the history of the book itself, how the idea of Nation alism first suggested itself to his mind.

WILLIAM L. WILSON. :rd. That the Republican tariff jave all the advantage to the manu facturers and none to the people. 4th. That a much lower ta ill would -aise enough revenue und that therefore with an economical govern ment the tariff under their 11 til t ill i2 f mo it cjuld be greatly reduced. 5th. That the incidental protec tion shou'd be extended equaih at least to labor. But now tlie Democratic party is in full power. It now has a chance to do what it has promised. Their Democratic tariff bill has just been with a .ievv to protection than for revenue. The tariff, it is true, is put lower on many articles, but instead of raising more revenue, it raises less in proportion to the reduction. Therefore the McKinley bill is as much a tariff bill for revenue as the Wilson bill. The only difference is the Wilson bill does not raise enough revenue and the McKinley bill did. Mr. Wilson says that what is lost in revenue by lowering the tariff must be raised by increasing the internal revenue or some other means. Then this is au admission that the govern ment is not to be run economically. We make the following extracts from the bill which are a fair sam ple of the whole: .MEIAI.S.

The reader will notice that many luxuries and articles used only by the rich which, according to Demo cratic doctrine, ought to have the highest tariff on them, pay less taxes under the Wilson bill than under the McKinley bill. Now the things put on the free list are as striking. We give the following as a sample: Bacon and hams, beef, mutton and pork, cabbages, tallow, cotton seed, peas, ixc. These are things raised by the farmers. Why not raise some revenue by putting a low 1 tariff on these articles and giving the tanner as well as the manufacture the benefit of the "incidental pro tection ?" On the free list are also such luxuries us fine oil paintings, Meerschaum pipes, silk w oinis.mu&k, which ought certainly to pay a ..i-.fi! i "Vi ji il r pari oi iiieiariu lax. ni tne ireejet.s. iist we also see bladders, cat gut, old rags, junk, .lalap, moss, sea weeds, sauerkraut, Who will rejoice over this is more than we know. The free list also includes nearly un the raw materials used by the 1 manufacturers, such as wool, iron ore, I lumber, hides, coal, iNic. Theyare.no doubt, delighted at this, for with the 35 and 40 per cent, protection which they get under the Wilson bill they can now make big profits. The man who produces the raw materials pays the bulk of the tariff tax and gets no incidental protection. The government used to own the first mortgage on the Union Pacific it now holds the second, or, per baps, to be more explicit, holds the bag. The Republican party "can point with pride" to this condition of things. Clex"eland should now "night ses sion" his slaves until they pass a bill deeding to the wreckers the govern ment interest in the road in order to put a fitting cap sheaf on the records of the two old parties on the Union .Pacific question.

The whole vote polled was 1 ',;. Of these I have the nanus of 115 voters written dow n, who voted People's party tic k - I furnished all the ticket.-, and saw them handed to the judge and put into the ballot box. I had two white men aud two colored men to aid me, and they are witnesses of the fact. There were only M Democra tic votes, but the jadgco locked them selves up for half an hour to mount the ballots and see that they tallitd with the register, and w hen the door was opened and the tickets taken out and counted the Democrats had a majority of 50.

The whole civil wrviw business, he saH, what every loIy knows, is mugwump humbugery. The undersfandiiig is that a man w ho accepts an appointuif nt on the commissinu is "hard up." It in volves a loss of manhood and self respect in public estimation. Ocii. Johnson succeeded ex-Oov.

After standing it nearly one year he told Mr. Cleveland that he really couldn't stand it any longer If Johnson remained on the board, he said, he would resign.

Roosevelt believes ttiat the torch bearers, the campaign motto makerc, the hurrah fellows, the ballot box stutters and election manipulators, ought to be prosecuted as common felons. The penitentiary and not a public office should be their reward, and this much he said substantially in his annual report, which has not III yet been given out. Johnson submitted a minority re port. It didn't harmonize with the Rooseveltian idea. He opposed in a COSTIXCKD OX FOURTH PAGE.
