THAT DIFFICULT SOLUTION. The Morning Post advances the very correct idea that the great trial at Judge Simonton's court in Asheville, however the decision may go, will be apt to inspire a new effort at the solu tion of that knotty problem, the uniform valuation of property for taxation. It is far from a one-sided question. Indeed it is hard to see yist wbat is right. We hardly think that anybody can claim that ordinary property in the State is returned at its full value. There is a kind of understanding that most proper -ty is returnable at two-thirds of its real value. Yet this allow ance is necessary if we follow the idea of returning property at what it would surely bring at public or private sale. The allow ance seems none too great, as there is much uncertainty about what property will bring at forced sale. There seems some inequality m the fact that money is always returned at par though the prop erty received in exchange for it is always returned at less than the amount paid for it. The question arises with which railroad property comes most nearly ranking, with property whose proceeds at public or pri vate sale is somewhat uncertain, or with money which has but one value. While railroad stocks and bonds have a daily quoted and realizable value it may lack very much of being the case with the bed and rolling stock. It would seem that such prop erty might have as good claim to the two third rule as land and other property. ' It is claimed by those agreeing more nearly with the Corporation Commission, that the valuation of the roads is not real value but is the lower, safe estimate that will insure such amount if put up at sale. The railroads 'claim, however, that the assessment is based on the full value. If a plan for im provement should be sought and would follow this contest rather than a tirade of crimination the litigation might yet be profitable to all. i A THO USAND TONGUES Could not express the rapture of Annie E. bprmger, of 1125 Howard st -Philadelphia.

Wright of Raleigh is well worth the reading. :' r "Boilo, P. I., July 24, 1899. "I guess you will be surprised to get a letter from me. I have been here two or three weeks. I went from Raleigh to Columbia. I was there about a month and was sent to San Francisco. I was there a month and left there the 22nd of May for Manila on the transport Sherman. We went by the way of Honolulu and were there three days. We had a pleasant trip across and no bad weather, and reached Manila Bay the 20th of June. We could see what Dewey did to the Span ish fleet as we went in the Bay. I could just see the tops of the sunken Spanish boats at a dis tance. I was in Manila one week and then went to my Regiment, the 18th United State Infantry Band. They are on Pamy Is land, 300 miles from Manila in the town of Hoilo. They have three towns in possession here Hoilo, Jara and Molo. We are quartered in the finest build ings in the town. We never had such fine quarters before. When the Filipinos left their places they went running and they did not have time to carry their household furniture, so we are getting the benefit of it now. All the large buildings were furn ished well with some very fine furniture; pianos in every one. All the companies have pianos and lots of other instruments, so we have plenty of music. Our quarters are very nice. We have a fruit grove around us and all kinds of fruits, cocoanuts, pine apples, bananas, oranges, lem ons, chickeores, mangoes and several other kinds I don't know the name of yet. Our quarters are something like a music school and we have every kind of instruments from a mouth harp to a piano in it. We have a set of Spanish band instrun ments that they captured in Manila, so we are well fixed for music. ' We havn't done any scraping lately, but will pretty soon, I think. They , will take Santa barbor next, a town about 12 miles from here. . The boys are doing provost guard here now around the town. They have a little shooting every evening. The natives will slip up and fire at our post and then chase off, but some time the fellows cret one. There is a high tower here. We can go upon it and see the Filipinos working on their trenches. They are about two or three miles fron the town. The soldiers are"building A MOTHER TELLS HO W SHE SAVED DAUGHTERS LIFE. I am the mother of eight child ren und have had a great deal of experience with medicines. L ist summer my Jittle daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain' Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent aud got a bottle at once. It rrovpd to be one of the very West medicines we ever had -in the house. It saved my little daught er's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would :. have saved me a great dftal of anxietv and my little daughter much tiuffering. Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Bur dick, Liberty, it. I. For Sale by ! M. L.

The , Ifilip inos destroyed . the, old bridge that was there." i So I think by doing this we will go to Santa barbor soon. 4 'It is not so warm here now. I don't think it is as warm as it is in North Carolina. We are having the rainy season and it rains every day; We don't have to play very many concerts it rains so much. - A WIM Haas Parm. PH Ringling. Br others, the circus men, have purchased three of the smaller Florida Keys, which they will put to a novel use. They will stock them with wild beast from all parts of the world. Each di vision of this wild beast farm contains about 6,000 acres. Parts of them are wooded, and there are thick undergrbwths like jungles. The beasts will be di vided into three classes; accord ing to their ability to get along together, each class having an island to itself. They will be brought from Asia; Africa and South America, and will be in charge of experienced keepers. The reasons 'for this novel en terprise are that wild; beasts are becoming scarcer every year, and that their capture is very difficult and expensive. An animal hospital will be es tablished, where animals sick and worn out irom travel, con finement and a season s exhibi tion will be cared for. Daily Re porter. No Party Responsible. . We belive that everybody ad mits that the management of the penitentiary under the 1897 fil sion arrangement was a stupen duous failure worse than a fail ure; The Legislature this year attempted to put its management in the hands of Democrats, but the Supreme Court decided that the fusion officers were entitled to hold on, Mr. Justice Clark writing an able dissenting opin ion. Since che Supreme Court decision we have had a Demo cratic Republican Populist fu sion management, neither party having full control, the responsi bility being much divided. This fusidn arrangement is not work ing well; it is not ; giving satis faction. It has seemed to us that if the Democratic members of the board of control cannot direct the management of affairs and cor rect abuses they should resign. Patron-Gleaner.
