When a tariff tax la laid upon for eign goods the American plan has been to lay it upon the neccessitles of the poorer classes, and In a greater ratio than upon the fineries and superfluities of the rich 'class. So we have long urged that It was highly proper as well as necessary to tax the luxuries and voluntary vices of men rather than the clothing, the blankets, the shoes, the flannels, the household necessaries and comforts of the poor including their lit tie sugar for coffee and pies. In other words we hold ! and believe that a tax on whiskey, beer, all spirltous liquors, ale, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes was not only necessary, but right and salu tary. We think the tax Is not half high "enough. Great Britain wisely raises some SU,UOU,uuu By ner iuww alone. We think it pure sentimentality to be hoTrow-stricken at the enormity of taxing useless luxuries and corrupt ing, destroying vices, and then favor a tax on the baby's flannels, the wife's dress, the chlldrens shoes, the father's hat and overcoat and the pound of su gar that makes glad the home. We stand for a very high tax, if any,, on the absolute commodities of life, and uoon all medicines, and for raising the revenue upon the rich and not upon the poor. We believe in taxing the lux Tiries, the self-indulgencies. We hold that it is a fair, common-sense, business like method of "raising the wind." In this connection let us emphasize, here that The .Messenger 'lately urged at length that the cutting down of expenditures is a prime necessity. In the name of common fairness and common-sense why should it cost each man, woman and child five times as much to live under the United States government than It did in 1840 or later? Why should it cost eight times as much In total expenditures to run the gov ernment in 1897, as it cost in 1860? The people must give attention to this mat ter of cost per capita and the vast in crease in public expenditures. There is no rhyme or reason in this wasteful ness and In these enormous burdens. The new tariff bill that reported by the republican sub-committee in the senate is less of a monster than the Dingley miscarriage, but It is still mon strous in its proportions, in its de mands upon the pockets of the people. The larger papers with economic edi tors and specialists have been over Hauling the two measures and exposing their abominable deficiencies and ox- pressions. They are full of wickedness and crime. ,The robbery Is simply wholesale and gigantic. Take the crockery schedule. The dealers are greatly stirred at the wicked and un wise1 discriminations. The people, when they break up the crockery on hand and have to buy more, will be' apt to be stirred, and deep down in their pockets. The dealers say that the china and crockery schedule is in famous, is most unfair, is most" inU qunous. Anu so in iaci j me vviiuic bill. One New York large dealer tells The New -York Times that it is ,fa de liberate, flagrant, and cruel imposition upon the masses. It is so arranged as to place very heavy duties upon the cheaper articles and those ' of more general use and necessity, and a much lighter tax on the finer and costlier goods, which are really luxurious that none but the well to do can afford to purchase." The Dingley bill would not allow any 'American going to Europe to bring back more than $100 of new clothing. The new bill is meaner, more drastic In isome important particulars than the Dingley fraud is. It about doubles the tax on carpets. It taxes the users of carpets heavily. It will greatly injure the dealers. It puts an addition of $3,000,000 annually on buyers of ingrain flrrvpts. ravs a larere Phlladelnhia dealer as reported in The Ledger. He is reported as saying that it "would In crease the cost 20 cents a yard. Such carpets sell ; today for 40 cents a yard, Half the carpet wool imported goes into ingrain carpets. The New York Ev ening Post comments thus: "The effect of raising the cost of in erain eamets 20 cents ner vard would be to increase the demend for straw mattings. The carper manufacturers nese wall against Chinese mattings in the Dingley bill, but they find that this is a game that two can play at, Judge Lawrence being the other member of the duet. The whole quarrel over wool duties resolves itselfiinto a question of nerve." ,. -. . V It seems to be a cise of robbery and oppression all around The people must . 1 1 T tm ... J . 1 1 i .

Wilson has again been visited by a very serious fire, that report says swept away $100,000 of property. Wil mington sympathizes with those thus afflicted with such a destructive visita tion. It is gratifying to know that no lives were lost or people injured in their persons. . i Almost weekly a fresh example of the complete Inefficiency and incapacity as well as blundering stupidityof the late Russell-radical-pop combine comes to light.. The latest is that by ignor ance and want of legislative sense the income to the state for the next two years . will fall short of appropriations by $200,000. "That Is serious and means trouble. In 1848 1 the total receipts of the state for government expenditures were less than $100,000. Governor Russell" will not call the Solomons together. This is prudent and wise. If they could get back In the old clover, patch they might be come more obstreperous than ever. In stead of providing for the big deficit by more legislative blundering, it 4s given out that bonds will be Issued as pro-, vided bjr law in such cases. When you cannot do anything else Issue a bond. It reminds one jof the fellow giving his note when out of cash strapped. wrt tn th consciousness of trying to meet responsibilities and to serve others faithfully is the knowledge of appreciation.

Weeks' valuable con tributions to North Carolina history are attracting some attention in the north. Several weeks age we called the notice of our readers to his work entitled "Libraries and Literature In North Carolina in the Eighteenth Cen tury." It has a positive value and shows close research and care. If Is published by the American Historical Association for 1895. It fills a blank Just as Prof essor Smith's work did," and imparts much information that is in structive -to those who are interested in the past of North Carolina, We late ly noticed and copied at some length from his address en .'The university op North Carolina, in the Civil War delivered at the centennial celebration in 1895. ,The New York Evening Post recently noticed each of these valuable publications. It gave this:" "North Carolina, cays Tr, Weeks, furnished one-flfth of the troops of the confeder acy, as against her quota of oner-tenth, and more than a fourth of those who fell in battle were North Carolinians. -With but little care .and no trouble the beard and mustache can be kept a uniform brown or black color by using Buckingham's Dye for the Whis kers. '- THE DEFEAT OF GREECE. Greece would be Greece no more If the Turks could only have now their own rapacious way. The war ends in submission of the weaker power. No one who knows of the great disparity in force could doubt the result If the nations stood off and permitted fight ing to settle the matters in Issue. The Turks are excellent fighters and well officered and has an army many times greater than Greece perhaps six or seven times greater. Greece gains nothing, , it appears by war. Crete is left to itself, and but for the powers Greece itself may be shorn of its terri tory. We note that Lord Salisbury, in a recent speech, defended the action of the powers toward Greece. It will not be interesting to go into his contention. A more important question at present is, what will the powers do next in the matter Of Greece's defeat? Will they protect or abandon Greece to the tend er mercies of the victor? The war Is doubtless practically ended, and the next move on the political chess-board will be what? The Turk is ah offence to Europe, and yet the powers are for ever considering his Interests. They do not desire to see him greater, but they will not Intervene at the right time to prevent his deviltry. It will never do to let Greece come again un der the rule of "the bloody Turk." That would be indeed a I great outrage against humanity and civilization itself. We must hope out of the nettle danger to Greece may come the flower safety for her future. Without the interven tion of the powers it would be annihil ation for Greece. The little kingdom submits and yields to all the demands of Gerniany for peace.

DISTURBING THE REMAINS OF THE DEAD. The gifted and famous Dean Farrar has a paper in The New York Torum for April on some old tombs that have been opened and concerning, their occupants. He, mentions that "of the three greatest poets of the Christian world Dante, Shakespeare, And Mil ton Shakespeare alone has escaped the indignity of disinterrment," It is pit iful, and often an outrage, to move the dead. There ought to be really an al most insurmountable reason compell ing the disturbing of the bones of the dead. No mere sentiment should in trude upon them in that way. We have more than once been stirred when we saw the long dead disturbed in this way. We knew a gentleman of wealth to provide a burying place for his sacred dead In his own grounds, with walls enclosing them and a monument to commemorate. Nearly forty years after he had been laid by the side of his wife and several children, all were taken up and what remained of their bodies was taken to an unsightly pub lic burying ground. He could not in life provide under the law an undis turbed grave for himself and loved ones. In a so-called Christian state there ought to be a law to suppress vandalism and outrage. Every town owes it to the living to provide a home for the dead. It ought to select a proper place, natural ly attractive, and beautify it with art. It speaks well of any community to know that it has a "God's acre" a place for the dead, that is adorned and protected carefully from outrage and kept beautiful by artistic labor, and skill. . ; Dean Farrar, in his survey, tells many strange and some revolting things of the kingley men and women wnose tombs were desecrated. While some like William the Conqueror, lie undisturbed where they were laid seven or eight hundred years ago, oth ers like William Rufus, Henry H, Rich ard L and others were treated with indignity and even rifled. The Dean concludes "Of all the dead, I say: "Let reverence triumph over curiosity. Requiescat in pace." To this we say, Amen! SNAPS. .......

In Washington President McKinley is face to face with the complaints of negro agitators that mulattoes are "hogging" all the public positions In the colored schools to the exclusion of persons of black com plexion. The blacks say that the mu lattoes and quadroons are very swell in social matters and affect, a status of their own and that the thing has gone far enough. The issue should be set tled right away. Sprinfield Republican. The United States Mands for peaco and Great Britain-will never refuse to arbitrate with us upon any question up on which it thinks it is to its interest to do so, and the same is true with us, but we do not wish to unnecessarily tye our hands nor have to be compelled to submit the question of our popular or national rights to some king or other monarch as a final umpire, who neces sarily, by reason of his environment and inherited tendency of mind, ia ut terly wanting in sympathy with our spirit which would make all law voice the harmony of the world. Richmond State. In asserting that "free wool under the Wilson bill have not added a dollar to our export trade," Mr. Dingley is arguing! in support of raw materials, and he does it in a way which invites him to face the consequences of his own argument. It is absurd to expect that after our export trade in woolens has been taxed to death by duties on wool we can build it up In a year after the duties are removed. But if It is true that free raw materials are useless in the woolen trade, how does Mr. Dingley account for the" fact that the republi can party consented to free hides. New York World. General Lew Wallace, who was Amer ican minister to Turkey for eight years, thinks that if Providence or the powers do not interfere, Edhem Pasha will yet take his coffee on the porch of the Par theon. He said as much yesterday under the. trees that shade his home at Crawfordsville, Ind., and then leaving off the picking of violets for a small boy in white knickerbockers, led his way into his library study to prove with maps and a portrayal of Turkey's ruler his assertion that the sultan, far from being the imbecile the correspondents would make him out to be, was really the greatest diplomat and the brainiest ruler in the eastern hemisphere. Chi cago Record. Many of the men of the south who were enthusiastic protectionists a few years ago are now among the strongest opponents of the Dingley bill. They believe it will hinder rather than help the Industrial development of the south by injuring our. export- trade, which has grown so rapidly under the lower duties of the Wilson tariff. Mr. Dingley and his bill are catching hot shot even from some protectionist bat teries. Many of the advocates of pro tection, as a principle and as a policy, are opposed to the Dingley bill because they belive that it is so extreme that it will provoke a reaction against the pro tective idea and bring defeat to the party which is the recognized expo nent of that idea. Atlanta Journal. While the results of gospel preach ing in the world up to the present time have been marvellous, it is by no means clear that the culmination of the pro cess is as yet even in sight. It seems probable that it is still but "the be ginning" of the gospel. If the geolo gists are to be believed, it took geologio ages to afford the mere prelude, as it were the preliminary house furnishing, for the- comig of historic man upon this planet, who has so far existed in the world but the meagerest fraction of the time that was required -for these preparatory processes. If so, it is not unnatural to suppose that human his tory, so far from coming now to an im mediate cataclysmic close, as the Tot tens prophesy, has as yet but run through the opening sentences of a brief preface. We do not know when the Lord will come and the book of his tory be rolled together like a scroll To some minds every news item which speaks of a convulsion, natural or po litical,' somewhere on the face of the globe, is a sign of the end of the world But perhaps we are deceived by such -apparent 'auguries. Perhaps God is just beginning. Perhaps Christianity is inchoate yet, and in a measure ten tative. Surely, it has not yet won all possible victories, nor revealed all en folded promises. Why should we as sume that we are certainly now in the last chapters of church history? What do we know about the plans of God? Why should we circumscribe his pro-" grammes with our little circlings of the centuries? New York Observer, Pres. - - Take JOHNSON'S I CHILL FEVER TONIC.

C. Edward B. Weslev. of New York, bought the property from the commissioner of the state sinking fund, but there were alleged irregularities in the purchase and he brought suit against J. E. Lindal, the secretary of tne state, and J. R. Boyles. who had been employed by the secretary of state to guard the property to secure possession. Lindal and Boyles, in the lower courts, contended that they were mere custodians of the property and that the state should be sued, but the possession of the property was given to Wesley. This judsrment was affirmed by the supreme court in an opinion by Justice Harlan, who held that the state was not necessarily a party to the suit. - President McKinley will hold up the consular appointments until the tariff bill has been passed. 8pTt Curb Thitkkt for torturing; dtssflg nring.

Washington, N. C, May 11. The memorial exercises held hera today passed off pleasantly and were the most successful ever held. The day was an ideal one, and 135 veterans participated in the exercises. The la dies of the Memorial Association, who had the matter in charge, had made every necessary arrangement for the comfort and convenience of the veter ans and guests. The exercises were opened with pray er by Rev. J. E. Underwood, after which Rev. W. H. Call,' secretary of the Ex-Confederate Memorial Associa tion, , called the roll of the Pamlico Rifles, the Southern Guards and the Confederate Guards. Only two veter ans answered to the roll call of the Pamlico Rifles. Major Stephen C. Bragaw, the ora tor of the occasion, was Introduced by Rev. Dr. C. M. Payne in a happy man ner. Mr. Bragaw spoke on I'The Pri vate Soldier." and his address was a most eloquent one. It is pronounced by many as the best ever delivered in Washington on such an occasion. After the veterans, preceded! by the Washington Light Infantry and fol lowed by many citizens, had marched to the cemetery and decorated the graves of those who have "crossed over the river," they repaired to the armory, where a bountiful dinner was spread. flnc of thf moat nleasant features of the exercises was the singing by the. choir of twelve lovely young girls, whc had been trained admirably by Mrs. W. i. uau, Mr. B.
