We, hare seen a copy of the bill reported by Mr. Hoke, of Lincoln, from the Committee on Penal Insti , jtutions, to provide for' the support q( iheT State , penitentiary. In any aspect this establishment is an ex- pensite one to the tax payers of the State, and we are not sure that the general Asseoably would act un wisely jf it shall so change bur penal - aws as to allow some minor grades of felony to be disposed of in some other way. The bill in question has been examined by us, and if we com prehend its provisions they are these: Seventy-five thousand dollars are to be appropriated directly from the Treasury, and the Board of Directors are authorized to draw as much as ne hundred and forty-five thousand dollars more from the earnings of the institution, from all sources, if that much shall be needed. . Sotthat in case the earnings are less than the sum named, whatever the expenses may be, no more money can be had In such case there would be a col lapse or a call on the General As sembly, or both. From the information at our cons mand we can state that during the past two years, with an appropria tion of $100,000 annually and the use of all the earnings, the peniten tiary authorities have been forced to . jdraw somewhat upon the future. Now it is proposed to make a small jer appropriaton and let the peniten tiary depend upon the earnings. We d? not believe it can be done. Sup pose rajlroad building shall decrease in the State, or stop, how can the in stitution be supported? To our mind the bill in question is fatally defective in that it does not provide bow self-sastentation can be pro duced. Would shoe shops and oth er pursuits of a similar character be allowed? Would the temper of the people stand it? Our own oninion ia that. ilia anfaat o make an appropriation of $110, 000 annually, with all the earnings, and require the surplus earntd to be covered into the Treasury and make a part of the general fund. Then all appropriations of convicts for railroad use should be repealed. Jf this shall be done, and the insti tution placed under the care of bus iness men, all will be as well done as possible. We see that the Governor recom mends the abolition of the pay of the Board and the appointment of a sort of president and general man ager, with a salary of $2,500. When the Board convenes their expenses shall be paid. We beg to say that if a sensible man can be had a man who baa ffrasn ennnorh in fV tV O f w wcrnw UJ matterin oharge and a Board which pould afford to visit Raleigh every menth with no compensation, then all would be well. But on this sub- jm wo uarc giiivv UUUUII. Wb are pleased to know that Senator Vance has suffered compar atively little from the removal of his eye. It is healing nicely, and the Senator will soon, we trust, be at his post again. During his confinement North Carolina has practically no representative in the Senate. ' ' ' :' : j Wk hope the Legislature will have She prudence and good sense not to orm any new counties. It has got eo that every little village which springs up wants a little slice of ter ritory cut off i and a new county formed with it as the county-seat. And what lor? Js it for the public good ?v Not a bit of it. A hew coun ty movement is usually inaugurated by a few persons who are largely in detested in real estate in and around some, village, the.; value of which they wish to enhance bv gettine a new county.- It is, nine times out of tenDurelv a Dersonal matter with a'few ind'viduals.'arid a selfish one - at that. North Carolina "has quite enougb counties already; - " In TBpEEaisiJLTUREof P.ennsylva- nia has been introduced in the House ' a iiCpWifiinithkUbelflag of 'the - tJnlte,B1al4rVdited above efer; public i Bciibdi ''building m tke State. The bill has passed to its third reading in, the House and will doubtless become a law. -That ia patriotism (?) run mad. t What has tne reaerai uovernmencio ao witn the com mon schools of Pennsylvania or of any other State? - It strikes us as a foolish piece of business on the part of the Pennsylvania "patriots." Or perhaps their action was in anti cipation of the passage of the Blair Bill, in - which event the Federal Government will take the publio schools under its sheltering wing, and then it will be all right and proper to float the stars and stripes over the common school houses. Is it possible that the "Farmers' Legislature" is afraid to impose a tax upon dogs? Do they stand in greater fear of the owners of worth less curs than of the owners of sheep? The growing of wool might be made one of the leading industries of the State. Our climate is much more suited to it than is that of any of the Northern or Northwestern States: we have much better, facilities in every way than they, and yet they furnish us all of our woolen goods. Why ? Simply because it is impos sible to raise wool where there are two worthless curs to every sheen- dogs that 'are a tax upon the com m unity at large and are of no bene fit to any one. Tax them, and tax them heavily. Let us have more sheep and less dogs. Those who own good dogs will not grumble at pay ing a tax upon them, and the own ers of worthless ons should be glad to see them go to the ''bone-yard." In view of the high tariff tax put upon wool and woolen goods by the Senate. Tariff Bill (which will be come a law as soon as the Republi can Administration gets in power), it is absolutely necessary that we raise and manufacture our own wool. If we do not, we shall have to do without woolen clothes and blankets or impoverish ourselves in their pur chase. Gentlemen, tax the dogs. . The Philadelphia. Times thinks that Blaine's appointment as Secre tary of State will cause a breach in the Republican party which will be hard to heal. - It will "precipitate a lively and bitter war of factions in Pennsylvania," says the Times, and it predicts that Quay will be forced to the wall by the Blainites. As to Blaine's status with the President the Times says : "Blaine is the Clay of Republican ism. He can't be President and he won't be the friend of a R administration that is not in the closest sympathy with himself and friends. Clav drove Tvler ant nf the party and divided the Whigs by' lenuine toe onnositinn tn rrQl,i,. and Blaine hedged Hayes and Ar thur around with bitterness and rent the party in twain in th re mnnrho as Premier of Garfield. t'But Harri son won't be dominated" ia the ready answer oi an wtio desire Blaine as Premier or excuse his appointment. Well, if Harrison nin't ha Hnmin.u Harrison will speedily dominate Blaine out of the Cabinet, and what then ? Blaine has a hundred Wnrla to reward for every one that Harri son has; he hss abundred enemies to punish for everv. one that H Hrri son has, and his friends have borne ina neat or conflict for years, while his enemies have been' tireless and malignant. With presumed power to reward friends and to mmkh fr.o f - - wa a W VU and with the President free of either, how is Blaine to be dominated by Harrison?" "Uneasy lies the head" of the in coming Administration, it would seem. "He'll be damned if he does and he'll be damned if be don't" make Blaine Premier, for, as the Times, says "Blaine would probably smash the party windows from the outside if pushed out of tho Cabi net." Altogether, we shall probably have a lively time of it during the next four years. Tha Legislature. There has yet been but little of general interest done by the Legis lature. Bills are Dendinor to extend the time for Sheriffs to settle with the State Treasurerfrom February 1st to May 1st; to incorporate the town of Hasty, in Richmond coun ty; to abolish the State normal schools and apply the sum' set -apart ior tnem to county institutes ; to es tablish an agricultural and mechan ical institute for colored people; to provide that no; person shall be eli- gioie ior county commissioner, for more than two years in any term of four years; to protect landlord and A a . .

A' Hockery. of Frotdctlcs. - But'the Senate, assumes 'that the late election sanctioned the prosti tution of protection to the most Op pressive ' monopoly, and it has in creased the. present tariff taxes on every grade of wool, on every quali ty of woolens, including flannels,' blankets, hats; carpets, women's and children's dress goods, andin shorty everything composed, wholly, or partly of wool that is consumed by the people. This- is studied (and needless oppression of the great mass of the people ; it is a flagrant prosti tution of the policy of protection ;' it lessens instead of enlarging bur industry ; it increases instead of Lessening the cost of the common necessaries of life, and it is a perver sion of protection lhat invites, and will surely bring revolution. -v.; There is another protection coun try in the world that does not fur nish free raw materials to its mills and labor. France, Italy and Ger many are protection nations ; but a French, German or Italian states man who proposed to tax the raw materials of his . mills and labor would be regarded as idiotic. It is one of the cardinal features of a true protective policy to cheapen the products of industry when it can be done without cheapening la bor; to enlarge consumption, mul tiply labor and open new markets ; but the so called protection leaders of the Senate tax labor, tax raw materials, limit products, diminish employment and close every market of the world against our working men. With all this excessive tax proposed by the Senate, English mills and labor will continue to sup ply a large proportion of our wool lens, all of which could and should be supplied by American mills and labor, and could be so supplied with free raw materials and at the same time cheapen the necessaries of life to consumers. The action of the Senate, especially on tin, steel, wool and woolens, is the veriest mockery of protection to labor, and if it shall be adhered to as the pol icy of the new administration, the greatest political revolution of mod ern times will eorae in the Congres sional elections of 1890. Phila delphia Times. Bayard and Bismarck. Washington, Feb. 2. Secretary Bayard said this afternoon that he had not yet received Prince Bis marck's proposition for a confer ence in regard to Samoan affairs, but that he thought it would arrive in a few days through the German minister here. The Secretaav said ml "There is one thing that I think ought to be made clear in regard to Prince Bismarck's instruction to the German Consul to withdraw his de mand for control of the island and that is this : 'The communication of Bismarck to Count Arco, the Ger man minister, announcing his ac tion, anticipated my telegram to Minister Pendleton saying that the United States would not recognize the martial law declared by the Ger man consul. It was therefore not a reply to my telegram, but an antic ipation. In other words Prince Bis marck sent his vnaessage to Count Arco before Mr. Pendleton received the message from me." UNEASINE8S IN LONDON. London, Feb. 2. There is a ereat deal of ill-concealed uneasiness in official quarters, with reference to the existing relation between Eng land and Germany, which Prince Bismarck's speech in the Reichstag will do nothing to remove. Despite the representation of the German Chancellor that Germany is in thorough accord with England re specting Africa and 8amoa. everv- r r thing points to the fact that Eng lish and German colonial policy is in conflict. This is a state of things which there is good authority for saying was anticipated at the Colonial Of fice before Parliament separated, and Is now regarded in ministerial circles with growing anxiety. As a matter x fact, the people of the South are peifectly willing that the negro should go or stay. The duties of citizenship have been im posed- upon him lone before he was prepared for . them. Some of -a I them never will be fit for them. The increased representation comes with citizenship, and, as far as the South is j concerned, it can never compensate", for the evils of the car- & I -r . . .. peb-vaggeri.-,. cui inis js one of the revolutions that can never go back ward, and the people of the South sinsply propose to move forward.
