"He wires m. and he wires out." , He gives up complelte ly the Idea that a McKlnley tariff can operate now. Thln'gs have chfanged since 1890, he affirms. A protectkm scheme will not raise the necessary - revenue he admits. And yet he is forced to say that the senate bill must . "certainly" furnish revenue equal to "the requirements for the next fiscal year," or It would be "fatal to1 the hopes of future success of any political party responsible for such legMaJtibn. Th republican robbers are In a fix between "the devil and the deep sea." If they "protect" enough to satisfy their howling followers the bill will be a failure as 'a revenue raiser, and "that will be "fatal" to the "party's pros pects hereafter. On the other.hand if they undertake to raise revenue enough wirnout giving "protection" to the robbers they will revolt and 'play the old Harry." "What then, is the dodge s to meet th'e exlg'ency the demands for revenue and demands for a robber tax on the people? How shall 'the neces sary funds be raised to meet the extra ordinary expenditures? The theory of part to rais'e revenues by a high pro tective tax. So they turn to a tax on the common necessaries of life sugar and tea and to an Increase of Che tax on beer and tobacco. In other words, the senate coaohers and tinkers resort to the Internal revenue system Instead of their old Out and out robber system to secure the necessary revenues to carry on the most Outrageously ex travagant government on" the globe, - They cannot raise $525,000,000 twice too much for the year's expenditures, by a system of robber protection alone, after stultifying themselves by a tweh-ty-flve years' contention itha't a protec tive tax would raise all the revenues needed, so they turn to a rascally, out rageous tax On sugar and to an! in crease of internal taxation. It Is all right to tax luxuries and the unnecessary, voluntary vices. They are the . very things to tax. It is an outrage to tax every day necessaries and preach a farcical enttment over the; burden and -wrong of taxing tobae co and drinks and smokes. 'Pray, who pays the tax on tobacco, cigars, cigar ettes, snuff, beer, whiskey, etc? Every man with sense enough to keep out of the fire or come Ifn out of the rain, knows that every cent of the tax Is paid by the drinkers, smokers and chewers. What we are saying Is not In con demnation of that most righteous and rightful system of taxation, but In censure of the bold, Inconsistent, lnsa tiable robbers who through the de cades have Turned and fussed and sworn that a high protective tariff while a moderate tariff would fail in doing it. - But suppose Aldrich & Co. should fail In raising a sufficient revenue out of the burdened people to meet the great and most pronlg'ate expend! tures? What .will happen? The Rhode Island robber says it "will faring ruin on the party. That would Indeed be "a thing most devoutly to be wish ed" the eternal ruin of the most Venal, treacherous, oppressive, reckless, and thieving party that ever had a name or made a record. The latest from Washington we 'have noticed is that the Increase of the beer tax will be abandoned a tub to the guzzling whale. It is even thought the increased tobacco tax will be defeated, It might be justified on the grounds perhaps, that to bring a calamity upon the rotten radical party it would Ibe Justifiable to oppose even any tax on tooacco. ivvniie we Telieve that every way a proper tax if in the congress we might be tempted to vote against It In order to overwhelm with defeat repub lican schemes of robbery. The New York Evening Post, writing of these two taxes and their probable defeat, says this: - "Special interests are strongly oppos ved to both these taxes. The most pow ' erful single influence to the United States of a political sort is the saloon influence, and this is controlled by the brewers. It Is universal and ubiqui tous. Unlike the interest that Is fight ing against the duty on hides, Sit 4s mot confined to one eoner of the union. It is found in every. City and town of more than 10,000 inhabitants, and In the - larger cities It is very nearly omnipo tent when 'united. Both Senator Piatt, of New York, and Senator Cul- lom, of Illinois, have amendments to offer to the bill to strike out the addi tional tax on beer. Mr. Piatt intends to offer as a substitute the s'tamp taxes on bank checks and legal Instruments that existed during the war. These taxes yielded $15,044,000 in the year 1866 and would probably yield $30,000,000 now." There is "the most Just, most right eous, most needed income tax that Would raJise $40,000,000 at least, is over looked and repudiated, while the blun derers and robbers are putting a great tax on the poor man's sugar that $50,--000,000 or more of tax may be realized and not Hess than $10,000,000 given each year to the infernal sugar trust whose darling interests are so precious to the ' McKlnley gang of plunderers and rob bers. It Is the cry of this corrupt gang T'DonU tax the rich." HOME FOLKS. ' Last week brought us appreciative letters from clergymen. One, a man of gifts with the pen, wrote kindly In , this wise: "I have been a reader of The Wilmington Messenger for a Bum, i Jber of years, and I have always en joyed your editorials. I read them very closely now. I enjoyed your arti cles on Mr. Page." Hon. John R.

A copy of the "Life of Zebulon B. Vance," by - Clement Dowd, of. Char lottehas been received but Just now. but not read as yet. -, It Is a large octavo of 493 pages, neatly printed and bound and by the Observer frinting and Publishing Company. A glance over table of contents reveals that It is the product, of several, pens.- General Robert B. Vance contributes four Chap ters. Dr. K. P. Battle one chapter, Rev. Dr.'RJ N. Price one. Several, gentlemen contribute i articles, one by our gifted townsmen;1 Hon. ... A. M. Waddell. one by Major E.: J. Hale, of: The Fayette- ville Observer, and another- by Mr. Joseph P. Caldwell.of The Charlotte Ob server. There is a chapter on the re mnrkahle canvass between uovernor Vance in 1876,. and Judge Thorns Set tie, with extracts from -reports of speeches. Several .of. Senator , Vance's speeches are reproduced in whole or in part, and the, addresses H made upon Mm in the congress are given. The volume contains a dozen or so illustra tions. The portrait of the. great North Carolina senator is admirable, aj su perb likeness. No -man in the last fif ty years has lived in . North , Carolina who was so generally; popular, who-ex erted so great an influence upon, public sentiment. His memory will ' be long cherished, and. thousands ' will desire to read a book concerning him and the reproduction of more pr less jot ( his own utterances when in public life faithfully serving his state, his constit-. uency, . hi3 generationj , . he people -oi Wilmington will be .waited upon this week in behalf of this work. .,'.K With the blod full of humors, the heated term Is all the more oppres sive.

MAJOR JOHN PELHA5L Nearly thirty years ago the late Dr. Thomas P. Atkinson, of Danville, Va., told us he was satisfied that the cele brated young cannoneer. Major John Pelham, was a native of North Caro lina, and was born in Person county, where at one time Dr. Atkinson nad resided. We wrote of this in 1885,. and on 25th May of that year, we received a note from Mr. H.C McDonald, of. Ty Ty, Ga., that it was an error; Our correspondent is a native of North Car olina, and feeling interested In our statement ofnatlvity, toe wrote to Ma jor P. Felham concerning it. He was kind enough to enclose to us the reply of the surviving broths which, we have before us. It settles the question of na tivity. The splendid young hero who died in battle was born in Alabama, but of good North Carolina stock.. Ma jor Pelham says-our mistake-was "a very natural one." We give the main part of the letter as it is of historic; Interest: -s .-?:;-;.-"'' "Major John Pelham was born In Calhoun county, Alabama, soon after his parents moved from Person county, North Carolina. Dr. i Atkinson Pelham, our father, was born in Mason county, Kentucky, was educated at Chapel Hill,. N. C, (the university and. he also graduated at the Jeff ersonian- institute (medical) Philadelphia, began to prac tice medicine in Person county, North Carolina, and married Miss ..Martha McGehee, daughter v of William . Mc Gehee, of Person county, North. Caroll-: na. They lived , in. Person county till two children were born then moved : to Alabama. John Pelham was edu-, cated at West Point, entered in 1856 and graduated just after the bombard-; ment of Fort Sumpter, came imme-I diately home in company with--his' friend and classmate General Thomas L. Rosser, they both entered the army at once. Rosser , was assigned to cav alry and my brother to artillery. Gen eral Rosser still lives I believe, Major' John Pelham was killed at Kelly's Ford, March 16. 1863." . ; ; It is not stated where Dr. Atkinson; Pelham's parents were born. We sus pect they were of Virginia. Majori John Pelham was a grandson of North Carolina On the . mother's side. We suppose he was a cousin of the late Hon. Montford McGehee, who was one. of - the finest and most thoroughly well cultivated gentlemen we have ever, known. He was of fine taste, charming but dignified: manners; a. delightful companion, of excellent abilities. Za lawyer and planter, and One of the pur est of public men. .

Dr. George G.

So the powers will let Turkey selze and hold as its share of the spoils Thes- saly. Another gross outrage. The bowers " seem very agreeable to "the unspeakable Turk." The. Sumter (S. c.) Freeman pays Senator McLaurin a rare compliment In saying that there "is this ' about Mc Laurin: He has no" odor "of liquor samples, free passes and rebates hang ing about him." The officers in the Irish royal con stabulary in Dublin postitively refuse to dine, says the Springfield Republi can,,: "at the same mess with some. black officers brought up from the Gold coast for the queen's jubilee. The in cident takes one right to Boston, New York or Chicago, not to mention At lanta or New Orleans." The Washington Post gives this as the strength of parties in the senate, and adds it will so continue for some time to come: Republicans ....... 43 34 7 5" 1 90 .45 Democrats Populists Silver Republicans M Vacancy (Oregon) Total Necessary for a majority. The Southern (S. C.) Christian Ad-, vocate, Methodist organ, says that Sen ator McLaurin is a Christian gentle man of decided ability and high char acter, eminently deserving the honors placed upon him, and he will be fully equal to the responsibilities and duties demanded by the important office to which he has been appointed. We con gratulate our state thajt her interests are confided to such faithful and cap able hands. SHARPS AND FLATS. According to an historical expert and author, Professor Henry Harrisse. a Frenchman, John Cabot discovered the North American continent in 1497, but later than June, but date not fully as certained. The old error as to its being i494 is thoroughly exploded. It was be fore August 1497, as it is positively known that he was back in England before August 23, 1497. Of that date there is a letter extant written from London by Lorenzo Pasqualigo to his brother in Venice; There are also two dispatches one of August 24th, and the other of December 18, 1497, sent by Raimondo do Soncino to the Duke of Milan eriving an " account of Cabot's discOvereies. There is much other proof. The proposed celebration on24th June. is not well taken as Professor Harrisse shows. The Messenger has several times commented upon the pretended sym pathy, the long-range sentimentality, the frothy rhetoric, the demagogic ap peals, the unmanly insinuations, the baseless dislikes of New England in the matter of the negro in the south. Again arid again The Messenger has probed the ulcer and let out the gan grene. We gave the other day one of The Washington Post's spicy para graphs that "while Boston was en gaged in worrying over the treatment of the negro in the south, a colored gentleman slipped into the Boston fire department, and the people up Ihere feel like turning the hose on them selves." The action of Boston is de servedly-commented upon in southern newspapers, as was the other incident of not. allowing certain prominent ne groes to go to the hotels at New Ha ven, Conn. There is great deal of hyp- ocricy and humbug in the New Eng land way of dealing with Sambo. We have : slashed them through the years about this. The Atlanta Journal has something timely. We give a part: "Thebusybodies of that region are greatly worried, over the social line which separates whites and. negroes in the south, but are careful to maintain similar distinctions in their, own sec tion. "They howl because negroes are ' not admitted to hotels in the south where white persons are entertained, and yet a venerable colored bishop not long ago sought admission in vain to all the prominent hotels in Boston. "They denounce the exclusion of ne groes in the south from the best seats in-theaters and from railroad cars which are set apart for whites, and yet they will not give the negro a chance in any. of the higher Industrial occupa tions. "There are no negro stone masons, .brick-layers, plumbers, carpenters or blacksmiths in Boston, while there are hundreds! in Atlanta who work side by side with white men and receive the same wages for equal work." A week ago perhaps certain statistics were paraded to show that the Amer lean people were gradually abandoning whiskey swiltering and becoming guz zlers of beer, as if it was a wise and desirable change. The figures showed n wltMraw,. of from bond for consumption: - . . Gallons 1892 ....v.. 1893 1894 1895 1896 We do not question ...... 93,084,785 ...... 97,458,348 .....t 87,346,834 ...... 74,453,039 ...... 67,039,910 that the hard times have a lessening effect on the sale of whiskey. But has the sobriety of the' people in five years been im proved fifty per cent? The New Or leans Times-Democrat disputes the de duction from thefigures and says, and it is wormy or special attention in es timating the precise value of the above figures as un index to sobriety, that the "extraordinary withdrawal of spirits for consumption in 1893 was caused by a speculative movement in anticipation of an increase of the internal revenue tax, which was not then realized. In 1894 the large withdrawal ' from bond was caused by the increase of tax from 90 cents to $1.10 a gallon.

Another factor of no small importance which cannot be estimated in official statistics should be taken into account. It is asserted by internal revenue officers of experience that the production of contraband whiskey has been much "stimulated by the increase of tax from 90 cents to $1.10 a gallon."
