PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
The President's Mef-nage was pub
lished last week. It is long ami
proey. To those who had hoped that
the President would take a strong
Mand againnt the evil and dangerous
tendencies of legislation in tle past,
the Message will be a gnat disap
pointment. He does not recommend
any measure of financial relief, but
eays that it will be necessary to wait
a while till "confidence is restored"
to know what to do. If the sick can
get well without a physician then no
physician id needed.
That part of the Message referring
to the tariff ia u still greater disap
pointment. He endorses tlie Wilson
high protective tariff bill as his kind
of tariff reform. The President also
says, "I am satisfied that the reduced
tariff duties provided for in the pro
posed legislation, added to existing
internal revenue taxation, will in th.
near future, although perhaps not
i 111 1 1 ediately, produce bullieunt reve
nue to meet the meds of the govern
ment." If the revenues are not now
sufficient to pay the ordinary ex
penses of the government one might
naturally inquire, why reduce them
at all until such time as they are 111
excess of actual needs ? The people
remember that the Democratic poli
ticians have always claimed that they
could raise more revenue by reducing
the tariff so it would not be prohib
itory. If the revenues are lessened
by the Wilson bill then it must be
prohibitory also.
He says nothing about the
repeal of the ten per cent, tax
011 state bank issue. We are sur
prised at this, for we understood that
the bankers want the tax repealed.
He opposes an income tax 011 indi
vidual incomes, but favors a make
shift measure.
He uses some more 'glitter-
iner cenerahties" about civil set
vice reform. Put he goes out of
his way to insult congress. He says
"the law embodying this reform
found its way to our statute book
more from fear of the popular senti
m?nt existing in its favor than for
any love of the reform itself on the
part of legislators." The question
might be asked, When did it become
any part of the Presidential function
or even permissible for the executive
to criticise, asperse, or condemn the
motives of those past or present con
stituting a co-ordinate branch of the
government ? Put a congress that
servilly bows its neck to the dicta
tions of an autocrat can not expect
that autocrat much less the country
to have, much respect for it. He asks
congress to give him power to is tie
more bonds.
He says there must be economy in
the running of the government and
then suggests that co.igiess com
mence by stopping the sending out
of seed to the farmers. Verilv the
fanner is not in it, but that little
winch he hath shall be taken from
him.
lie is in favor of restoring the
monarchy of Hawaii.
The Message is not only a disap
pointment to eyery honest Demo
crat, but it wi'l make the heart of
'very patiiot sad.
Mr. Bland says that he will lose
no time in introducing another free
coinage bill. But it will do no good,
t except as a means of keeping the
eubject before the people. The mon
ey power controls the present con
gress and .John Sherman and (J rover
Cleveland will see that its influence
is maintained. If any measure fa
vorable to siher could pass both
houses Wall street would still be safe
while President Cleveland holds the
right of veto
Secretary Morton, Mr. Cleveland's
farmer, should explain in his first
agricultural report why the Western
farmers are obliged to sell their wheat
at 40 cents a bushel and cotton at 7
cents a pound, now that the silver
jiur chasing clause has been repealed.
"The People's party is dead," eo
say the subsidized Democratic and
Ilepublican press, whose editors de
cline to record the truth. The fact
is the People's party made gams in
the late elections in every state. A
pretty lively corpse that!

TAXATION AND RAILROAD COMMISSION
The Raleigh con-espondent of the

"The railroad commission has done

seen by one little statement. The
valuation of railroad property iu the
State now only lacks a few thousand
dollars of being double the amount
in 1S00."

but they are not indebted to the
Democratic party for the informa

mouth to each member of its bod)

to suppress the facts about au oc
currence that you kuow about, will
certainly not hesitate to entirely
smother everything that they possi
bly can keen from the people, that
is, such things that they don't want
the people to know. Can you trust
a paper that will be dishonest with
you, that will keep part of the evi

Senator George, chairman of the
committee appointed by congree to
investigate and report on the dealing

000 bales of cotton were dealt in
New York and 10,000,000 iu New Or

bales were made and actually sold.
Congress will try to investicate the

The situation does net make them
happy. The bosses mills are not

BUREAU OF POLITICAL INFORMATION
After many deployments on Ran
sora's skirmish line and a dexterous
flank movement he landed the "boss"
in the postofSce department to-day
but only to find the Postmaster Gen
eral not "at home." Kerr Craig was
acting P. M. G. but was not signing
any commissions for North Carolina
postmasters. The disappointment in
not seeing the head man nettled your
"uncle Billy." To him it looked as
if it was a put up job and he consti
tuted himself into a Northampton
mass meeting and accused the "boss"
of bad faith and trifling. Hot words
followed, and the Captain left on the
fast mail South, a thoroughly dis
gusted, indignant and beligerant
man the first victim of the remorse
less "machine."
It appears that at one time there
was some show for his appointment
but some enemy of his induced him
to write a letter. Now Mr. Bissell
is a degree Yale man, and the prodi
gality with which captain Billy used
the "cap case" in the middle of his
words, offended the aesthetic taste of
the Buffolo anglo-maniac, and raised
a doubt in his prodigious mind as to
the captain's capacity as the succes

THE MACHINE QUALIFICATION.
Soon after the election Bimmons
promulgated a rule making the en.
doisemeul of the local executive,
committee prerequisite to the appli
cants candidacy for office. In everv
case, as in" "the Oldham matter th?
machine will attempt to enforce this
rule. Its execution, of course, der
pends upon the big booses consent,
and it is understood that its en
forcement is agreeable to him in the
main. It has been applied to Bourne
j who is an applicant for th Tarboro
Last Friday morning .about 8
o'clock fire was discovered burning
round the stove flue on the roof of
Grady Smith's drinking saloon on
Grog Row. The alarm was giren,
and men, women and children, both
white and black, from every quar
ter of the town hastened to the
scene. But the fire was under good
head-way before the forces could be
organized for effective work. ' As
many as could applied water to the
buildings by means of buckets and
force pumps, while hundreds of
otheis worked like bees, carrying
goods from the stores into the
streets. The large brick stores on
the corner, and one along side of the
buildinar where the fire originated,
were saved. But Mr. J. E. Royal's
ware-house and the two brick stores
fronting McKoy street were burned.
All other buildings on the block
were of wood and very closely con
nected. The flames spread slowly,
but steadly, until the second from
the last building on the block was
reached. It was then that an un
paralled effort was made and the
flames checked. The fence around
the sqare was burned down, and the
court house would have burned
without attention. Very few goods
were burned, but tne damage done
moving them was considerable.
Below we give the names of those
losing by the fire. The figures
opposite each name is believed to be
a conservative estsmate of the ani
mount lost by each:
J. E. Royal, $3,500; O. P. White,

Major Grant, .1. F. Dodson and oth
ers went down into Little Washing
ton to consult with the c-.lored
brother about politics, a certain set
in this town raised a terrible howl
about it and said all decent people
should condemn it, and further, tried
to insult every man hat was seen or
known to be consulting with ;i col
ored man about how he shouu! vote
in the approaching election, provided
he was not working in the interest of
