Over Million Dollars Worth of Prop erty Exempted From Taxation. We take the following from the Clinton Caucasian of yesterday. , "One of the great evils of the time is false swearing in listing property for taxation If all property was prop wrly honestly given in. the State and counties would raise more moaay than is needed, therefore the rate of taxa tion could be lowered and the honest man would not be forced to pay more than his proportionate share of the burdeus of supporting the government. There la-i auoiner great ev-w, exemotintr of property frotirataxa- tlon by Legislative acts the' euise of charity and bei lence. A prominent gentleman Wilmington told - us a few days Since that there was oyer a million dollars worth of prouertv in that place ex empted from taxation. Think of it, over 20 per cent of the property not bearing its share of ' government; and there is in the same place probably over a million dollars worth of prop erty; that annually evades taxation; and what is true of Wilmington is no doubt true of every other town and city to a certain extent. These are grave matters and will cause trouble when the naked truth is generally known." J The World's Fair.

Pension Payments Alona Exceeding Hecelpts of the (iovernmctat The Sliver Coinage Qneatloa Ap pointments to ths Ariajr-fiti Albert Pike's Will. Washington, June 18. The Treas urer's statement. Issued today, shows that the sash balance is $14,415,000, of which $22,029,000 is on deposit with national banks, and $20,250,000 is. in fractional silver. ( Deduoting these items, the net cash balance la but $1,235,000, which la the lowest figures ever yet reached. It is said that the Treasurer's state ment, to be Issued to-morrow, will show a deficiency of $600,004 instead of the usual net cash balaace. This is the first time this : has occurred since the present form of statement was adopted by Treasurer Jerdac. In mak ing this calculation, however, no ac count is taken of : the $22,000,000 on deposit in National banks and the $20,000,000 fractional silver in the Treasury. Expenditures so far this month have been $8,188,864 la excess of the entire revenues of the Government during the same period, amounting to $18,221, 852. I The receipts were exceeded by the pension payments alone, which amount ed to $18,312,155.! Treasury officials say that the expenditures daring the remainder of the month will be light and that receipts will be soflclently heavy to overcome the present excess of expenditures and leave a small sur plus for the month. These same offi cials Bay that the Treasurer's state ment to-morrow will not include re ceipts during the past two days, and that if it did an actual surplus of $2, 000 000 would be shown instead of an apparent deficiency A meeting of the Cabinet will-be held on the 26th. last, for the purpose of considering the financial situation, especially with reference to the exten sion of the 4i per cent loan and con tinued coinage of silver after the 1st proximo. The President and Secre tary Foster have arranged to be In Washington next Thursday. Secretary Foster, in his speech writ ten for delivery at the Ohio Republi can State convention, paid particular attention to the silver question and made a special point la regard to coinage, calling attention to the fact that after July 1st next it will be dis cretionary with the Secretary of the Treasury whether silver coinage shall be continued or not. A great many sugerestions have been offered to the Secretary on this partic ular feature, indicating a strong senti ment against suspending silver coin age on the date named, and it is within the range of probability that the coiuage will be continued after July 1st, for awhile at least. The names of nineteen men appoint ed to commissions in the army frem civil life are made public. Among them are the following from Southern States, with the colleges at which military instruction has been imparted to them by army officers: Lawrence E.

New York, June 18 Th.e iWs cotton review says: Futures opened at a sharp decline, partially recovered, closing barely steady at 1 to 2 points decline from yesterday's closing prices. There was to-day an absence of that feverish excitement; which has been seen in the market for a week or more. Violent fluctuations are no longer looked for, and it is probable that prices will not vary materially for some time to come. The drop at the lowest prices of yesterday was nearly a cent a pound from the best prices in May. tv.ui to n v.io decline when prices are high, but such a decline from prices already low naturally brings values -. naul: in huril nan.

A Wall Street Speculator Sent to Insane Asylum His Insanity. Inherited From His Mother. IV ho Killed Three of Her Children. New York, June 18; It was an nounced to day that H. Victor New comb, one of Wall streets boldest spec ulators, has been piaced in a private insane asylum. He is not violently in sane, but is suffering from softening of the brain, and, on advice of his physi cians, his family has piaced him in a retreat. Newcomb's malady is said to be hereditary. His mother, who had been a sufferer from kleptomania, one day became violently insane and attempted to kill her live children She succeeded In throwing the three youngest of them out of a third story window of her house in Louisville. They struck an iron tailing below and were instantly killed. She tried to kill Victor and his brother, but the children's nurse had arrived in tim to throw a tnattres4 on the ground below the window so that the two boys were not killed by the fall. The unfortunate woman was commit ted to the McLean insane asylum at Somerville, Mass , where she was main tained by her husband for thirty-five years. The Kentucky law did not recognize insanity as a ground for divorce, but after his wife had been confined in the asylum twenty-five years, Newcomb procured a change in the statute which enabled him to obtain a divorce.

SHOW YOUR COLORS. A Hint From Unsle Sam to the Mas ter of American Vessels. An act passed at the last session of Congress very materially changed the method of marking vessels as to their names, home, ports, draughts, etc., and as it is a matter of interest to owners and those interested in vessels, we publish the following circular which is sold by the Government on the sub ject: ', "To collectors of customs and others: Your attention Is invited to the fol lowing act of Congress approved Feb ruary 21st, 1891, relating to the mark ing Of vessels1 names on the bow and stern and providing for the marking of draught, viz: Be it enacted, That Section 4,178 of the revised statutes be, and the same is hereby, amended, to read entire as follows: . 'Section 4,178. The name of every documented vessel of the United States shall he marked upon each bow and I si upon the stern, and the home port shall also be marked upon the stern. These names shall be plinted, or carved and gilded, in Roman letters In a light color on a dark ground, or in a dark color on a light ground and to be dis tinctly visible. The smallest letters used shall not be less in size than four inches. If any vessels of the United States shall be. found without these names being so marked the owner or owners shall be liable to a penalty of ten dollars for each name omitted: Provided, however, that the names on each bow may be marked within the year 1891. "Section 2. The draught of every registered vessel shall be marked upon the stem and stern post, in English feet or decimeters, in either. Arabic or Ro man numerals.

Revolutionize Building A Be reaved Family- Few Mort gages Being Beglstered military Appointments. Messenger Bureaw, i Raleigh. N. C. June, 18. A movement to solicit funds for the Jeffert-on Davis monument is on foot here, and promises good results. It is thought that a snug sum may be real ized for this purpose. The committee having in charge the matter of the 4th of July celebration, have left the entire business of arrang ing the programme in the hands of Mr. A. B. Stronach. It is In contemplation to have a new departure by fixing the time for th delivery of the address in the evening Instead of morning as here tofore. This is thought to be the bet ter course, so as to avoid the heat. The custom of a procession will not be fol lowed. The racing to take place on the 4th, next month. Is attracting much atten tion not only In Raleigh, or even in North Carolina, but In other sections of the country. The matter of breed ing fine horses has made wonderful progress of late years In this vicinitv and it may be yet that we shall have to establish a sort of "Derby day" in the Old North State." AoDlications for entries are being almost daily made, and it may be that the "old time" res pectability ot the turf may be renewed. xneurimm Brown Stone Improve ment company, is expected to revolu tionize to some extent buildintr in this section. It is somewhat sumrising. with such vast Qualities of this stone almost at our doors, it has not been utilized to a greater extent in the erec tion of private residences. Such de posits within reach of anv large North ern Jcity would prove of the utmost value. It is thought that the full or ganization of the new company prom ises much pecuniary success to the stockholders and benefit to the com munity. Much: sympathy has been aroueed here towards Mrs. Glennan. a d&urhto.p i the late Hon. Kenneth Rayner.

Mrs. Glennao's husband is off on the frontier in the military service. Of course, kind friends are ministering to her in all manner . creditable, but still she is a comparative stranger here, although the happy years of girlhood were spent in our midst amid luxury and refine ment. ' It is indeed a sad case. It is most gratifying to note that there are fewer mortgages now being made in this county than for several years past. The record books of the Register of Deed office Bhows too, that the farmers generally cancelled most of their obligations made in pre- yious years, the result of the good crops in 1890. The Governor to-dav made the fol lowing appointments: W. G. Camp- Den, captain Company G., 4th Regi ment; P. S. Vaughn, Secoud Lieuten ant Company E.. 1st Regiment: Robt. S. Young.
