THE STA"ilBiRD. FRIDA.Y, February 22, 18S9. Jas. P. Cook, Editors and B. E. Harris, J Proprietors. WHAT 8JEEHS TO liE MORE IJIPOB TAXT. The talk about the railroad com mission is almost nauseating. It is question whether the amount of salaries raid these commissioners, if the commission is established, will not exceed the benefits derived therefrom, to the tax pavers of the Jbtate, In the event of the passage of the bill, you'll doubtless see 'the commission filled with disappointed candidates, or men who are special favorites of a class, other than those intended to receive the benefit The Legislature could accom plish more for the people by effect ing 6ome wholesome legislation in behalf of the penitentiary, and do the farmer a lasting good, and con sequently all, by providing such means as will encourage sheep rais ing. The dirty, sttimped-tail, bench-legged, sheep-killing dog has been a terror to every Legislature. The dog gets or takes more privi leges and does more damage and amounts to less than any animal known to the Stale. Has the present Assembly, con sisting mostly of farmers, backbone enough to place the dog where he belongs among taxable3 ? STANDARD .VOTES. It certainly pleases an editor to see his editorials and locals repro duced in other papers, but at the same time a credit ought to be given. The Raleigh Signal, the mouth piece of North Carolina Republi cans, published the inside workings of the campaign. It reads like a novel. The Samoan difficulty seems to be growing. It's a source of regret to his friends that Jim Blaine can't put in an official "say so" in this matter. L.ET adversity overtake a poor lelJow. 1 hen the world, in a wise way, Eays, "I told yon so," . and be gins to kick him down hill still fur ther. Better help him up. It is now reported that a Confed erate ueneral will have a place in Harrison's Cabinet. It will be done, .so the story runs, to break th "Solid South." How absurd ! "The relations between Governor Fowle and the people are, mostly, nephews." Charlotte Chronicle, It's rather early to find fault. The above sounds like some candidate has been disappointed. Grover Cleveland will ride to the capitol with President-elect Har rison and will stand with hira dur ing the inaugural ceremonies. This is the first time a defeated candidate has done such a thing in 48 years, when Martin Van Buren stood wiih William Henry Harrison. Everybody can not be pleastd. There are even serious objections to postage Btamps. Here are some . A sickly green color; they stick to gether ; the gum tastes bad ; they don't tear easily along the perfor ated lines ; and. lately we heard a fellow complain of them being too large. What a complaining world ! Evert community must do its own leading. Its growth and pros perity depend principally upon the efforts of its own people. There's nothing like enterprise; it works like a charm. When a people has shown a reasonable amount of in dustiy, pluck and push, outside peo ple and capital will theu aid us, and pot before. Crimen In North Carolina. It stems that the fact of so many jails being almost constantly tilled is just now demanding some thoughtful consideration. It is hard to tax a people to support a crowd of fellows in jail in there, too, for petty of fenses, which ought to be punished in another and cheaper way. In speaking about the crimes &c. the Wilmington Star has this to av "The State jails are crowded with criminals, and still crime is decreas- jug How is this?" This calls for'h from the Messenger the fol-! lowing: It results that the jails, in some of the coRnties, are crowded, from the great tin wisdom of abolishing the distinction between grand and petty larc-Jiiy ; and the failure to pro vide for tho prompt and appropriate pun ishment of the latter. Three-fouiths of the convicts in the penitentiary are there for petty larceny. The bulk of the court costs and jail .fees throughout the Btate result from tlw long confine ment, awaiting trial, Charged with crimes of persons that other 4 States punish as petty larceny. We have the severest code known to the civilization of the nineteenth centu ry, and we are paying dearly for it. Euch luxuries come high, and 60 long as our peop!e insist upon their continued indulgence, the tax-payers have no right to grumble. The petty criminals are eating up the substance of the people. The expenses of the county jails consti tute the greatest burden that the people are called upon to bear. Yet no one comes forward with a prac tical measure of relief. The tax payers groan and growl, sweat and swear. The State docket is cro wded, and the terms of the courts are giv en up, principally, the trial of cases of nettv larceny. Civil Buiters are stood off, from term to term, tud A a T practically denied instice. As fast as one term of court relieves the jails they are filled up ready for an other. And so it goes, from one year to another, all because we insist upon dignifying the filching of a loaf of bread with the stealing of a horse ; the theft of a chicken with the robbery of a smoke-house ; the killing cf a pig with the violence and outrage of highway robbery. Unfortunately we have a popnla tion much given to petty larceny, resorted to tor appeasing the hun ger and want resulting from indo Ience ana improvidence. Hut we are blessed, in that it is no worse. We are comparatively free from the vicious crimes and heinous offences that characterize some other States, We are seldom the victims of vio lence. Murder here is rare. That greatest of crimes is not of frequent occurrence in our State .We are fortunate in the low grmle of crimes. We are conspicuous bv the absence of great criminals. Crime in North Carolina is not on the iucrease. Montana I.etler. Helena, Montana Ter., teb. 11, 1SS9. Editors of The Standard: Perhaps it would interest your read ers to hear something of this far off portion of our land. This is a favored land for all pur poses of comfort and happiness, and the abode of man. The country is beautiful in all its diversified at tractions in mountains and valleys, plains, grazing and mineral lands of all kinds; so that one can be safe in saying it is one of the best countries in the world for money making. Montana lies between the 104 and 117th degrees of longitude, and the 4oth and 49th degrees of north hit ittiJe, an ii aiii res lengthwise f mm east to west 520 miles, and from north to south 295 miles, and con tains 144,000 square miles. In square miles the territory is larger than Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut com bined a real empire in acres. Only 24 years ago, Montana w.i? constituted a Territory by au act of Congress, and at that time belonged to that vast "terra incognita" west of the Missouri River. Since theu it has proven itself to be the richest :f all the States and territories in the Union in gold, silver and copper, and has a population of intelligent and industrious people of near- two hundred thousand. Since the discovery, of -gold ifi Montana, the exports of the prodou ! metal have exceeded one hmAr-A j and seventy-five millions of dollar". Next to the bubinegg of miriiii, which comes first, com! th'i lite stock or grazing intf-p.t in cattle, sheep and horees.

Helena is a beautiful city, situ ated in a valley surrounded by he Rocky Mountaius. Ulizzaids, so com mou in other parts of the Ter ritory, are unknown here. We' are near enough to get constantly a breeze from the Tacific, which makes our climate a delightful one. The air i.s pure and invigorating. This winter has been unusually mild.

The Gov ernor is perfectly practical, and makes everything Known. The Legislature and the peo ple appreciate his frankness. He calls attention to the state of affairs at the penitentiary and tells the Legislature plainly that it must provide for this deficit at once if it wishes its plan "of making the penitentiary self-supporting to carried out. The Governor does not fail to call attention to the fact that the affairs of the prison should be in the hands of a salaried commis sioner. - He says that no body of directors can, under the present laws and rules manage its affairs properly.

They are about to get through the Legis lature a bill authorizing the search of any premises within a prohibition district, where the presence of liquor is suspected. Whenever the en forcement of prohibition comes to the invasion and search of the homes of our people, there will go up a howl that will dowr. the voice of prohibition. They have submit ted to the outrageous methods wui villainous practices under the inter nal revenue system, because it was the Federal authority, aim was cue of the results and attendant circum stances of the war. But the people of North Carolina will never sub- mit to the espionage of a set of hire lings, informers, thieves, runners and liars turned loose upon them by State authority. It's the worst thing in the world to have no sense. To they not see the danger a-head ? KM T. TV. C. T. I'nlOM. COMMUNICATEP. The Y. W. C. T. U , of Guilford College is preparing for an enter tainment. The program indicates an interesting occasion. April 28 has been declared a day of prayer by the world's W. C. T. U Collations for the cause are to be taken on that day. Miss Willard hopes soon to have her autobiography finished. Her first months of freedom are to be given to the Sonth. March 15 she starts first to attend the South Car olina W. C. T. IT. Convention at Charleston, then to other Southern States. The Winston Union gave an en tertainment recently and cleared $40. This is for the home Union. Every Sabbath the W. C. T. U. hold a prayer meeting in the Win ston jail. Mrs. Wells will spend April and May in North Carolina instead of the mouths previously announced. The fbi-lnf inn tnlon oa the uhlmUy question. We take this occasion to repeat in briefest possible form the platform of The Christian Union, on which it invites all temperance workers to unite: 1. Abolition of the license system. 2. A State tax on the saloon equal to the financial burden it imposes ou the State. 3. Maintenance and extension of restrictive li-gishitiou. 4. Obi active point abolition of the saloon. The Stale rtoes better tbmi tlmt now. Dry Creek Alliance, Chatham count', wants the Legislature to amend the present school law so that each county shall appropriate not less than one dollar per scholar, and that the nionev be paid direct from the Sheriff to the school com mittee of each district, the committee to give a suilicient bond for the se enrity of said money.- Not a bai idea.
