Alt I J COME TAX. The discussion of plans for increasing the reTennee of the government and per mit a "revenue' redaction of the tariff brings oat the fact that the lery of an income tax is the best and most equita ble way of doing it. It seems to offer the only feasible plan. A tax on sugar would do it, but the people will never consent to see a tax imposed on sugar again. Thev Toted for the Democratic party been- they wanted everything elae cheapened as sugar is cheapened. In England a large revenue is derived from incomes, and it is the fairest sys tem of taxation because it makes those most able to support the government pay In proportion to their means. RECENT BANK FAILURES. Thirty or forty little banks in the West have recently failed. All of them were branches of the Columbia National Bank of Chicago and in violation of the spirit and intent, though not the letter, of the National Bank law which forbids the es tablishment and maintenance of branches. In reality they all- constituted only one bank. BidethLt the failure are in them- selves unimportant except locally and will have no serious effect upon the gene ral financial situation and commercial relations of the world. The failure of the Columbia is, however, a serious mat- ter and there is no excuse on the part of the Comptroller and his agents for allow- ing such wild-cat methods as were pur sued by its managers to go undiscovered and unsupprewaed. ANOTHER GIDEONS BAND. It is believed that Marion Butler is or ganising the "Industrial Legion" in North Carolina; and that, after the next State Alliance meeting he will bend all his energies to promote the organization of that order. Already the order exists in auita a number of the counties of the State, and if it goes on it will be a dan- ' 1 gerous political organisation. Those who belong to it claim that it is not a secret organization and that their meetings are I not secret: yet practically it is a secret organizatkm for the public at large does not know when they meet It would be I well if the people of this State would watch, ami, if pnmible, indict a few of them in the courts. It will be for a jury to say whether or not it is a political or ganisation, and not for those who are propagating it Gideon's band has been wiped out of existence. An attempt is being made to exalt Wilson (G) into a place as martyr and to organise another unlawful politi cal organization on the same line. It will not succeed unless we totally misun derstand the sentiment of the good peo ple of North Carolina. The price of cotton is steadily declin ing and has been since the planting ol the present crop. There are two reasons for this. One is, and it Is the principal one, the acreage in cotton has been very largely 'increased. The second is the great bank failures in Australia and eUe- where. The first circumstance makes it certain that the cotton market will this fall be overstocked unless something un forseen cuts the croj short. The bank failures have made money timid and buyers cantioas. But these things in stead of teaching a valuable lesson to the farmers of the South seems to hare bad an opposite enect. Disregarding tne warnings of the press they hare gone on increasing their acreage in cotton. This has been done too in the face of the fact that a heavy surplus of cotton from previ- ous crops remained undisposed or and mat consequently tne world s actual require- menu of new cotton would not admit of a heavily increased yield. With all this and the very unsatisfactory condition of financial affairs he is a fortunate planter who has kept his cotton acreage within reasonable bounds. Reaalaa orTalrtites aa4 GMeoas.

Ninetenths of tha people of North Carolina fully agree with the Teacher in its criticism of the man agement, while all are united in approval of such a school for training teachers as the State intended to establish. The President has no right to so pervert the laws in regard to this school as to make it a female seminary instead of a profess ional school for teachers. The 'report shows that upwards of 9,000 have been paid, of which no ac count is made, and that there has been a reckless extrarsirance in handling the gate's moneyin the interest of the Pres- 1,9 1i.i- va cr Ia m rintv in tarioUj V.T. from the ' hoof three or four thousand dollars a year, instead of $2,250, which is bis nominal salary, as re is clearly a eonsiaeraoie prom ue- '""the UxTmTm char f A3.0O a month. As the school is under the direction of the State Board of Edu cation, a committee of disinterested per sons should be appointed to fairly inves tigate the management which is bringing the school into disrepute with thoughtful people of North Carolina. The State is too honest to submit to such management of a public institution. Obsuveb." In your editorial paragraph you par tially endorse the communication in the following language: " 'Observer' on the seventh page takes the Normal and Industrial School at Greensboro to task, and, in our opinion, somewhat justly." As the communication reflects on my integrity, you will doubtless recognize my right to demand the name of the au thor of said communication. I would also like for you to state whether or not you meant by your edi torial to endorse the attack on my char acter. Yours respectfully. Chabo.es D. MClVEB. Raleigh, May JO, 1803. President Chas.

Under the old system, only here and there a man could get a hearing for his thought on any theme of public conse quence. Under the newspaper regime every man or woman who has aught to say that is worth saying is sure of a hearing and of a much wider audience than book publication can give. And many strong men are heard, in fact, who would . never think of putting their thought into a book. The newspaper not only opens the door of utterance to all the experts, but diligently hunts them up and invites expressions at j heir hands. Again, the newspaper 'discusses sub jects when they are up for consideration, and so gives the vigor and force of time liness to whatever is said about them. In so far as it supplants books it is merely a case of the survival of the fittest, an instance of the better adaptation of means to ends. Another consideration of importance is this. The growth of newspaer circu lation is due in a considerable degree to the fact that men who used to read but one newspaper now habitually read sev eral. The result of this change is un mistakably to broaden intelligence, to enlarge the view, to correct error and to overcome prejudice. It reacts also upon the newspapers themselves. It compels them in self-defense to beware of narrow ness and deception. It puts a direct penalty upon all attempts to mislead readers, to hide or pervert truth, to sup press facts or to comment unfairly upon them. It drives the mere organ into ob scurity and makes of fairness, breadth and honest truth-telling the primary conditions of notable newspaper success. The newspaper is the form in which thought and intelligence are most avail ably presented to the great masses of the people. Everybody can afford to read the newspapers. Not everybody by any means can afford the free use of books. The newspaper brings both the profit and the entertainment of reading to millions who have neither the money with which to get access to many books nor the time to read them. Finally, the reading habit is one which grows by what it feeds on, and the news paper is its apostle and missionary. More than all other forms of publication combined, it cultivates the habit of read ing, and it is the wide prevalence of that habit which causes books to sell and cir culate and gives to the magazines the phenomenal success they have attained in the last ten years. Our public schools teach all our people to read.- ibe newspaper supplies them wranu. tu uewepaper supplies lueui with profitable matter for riding, and stimulates them to make use of the key of intelligence furnished them by the schools. Frankly considered, the increase in the habit of newspaper reading and the corresponding increase in the circulation of newspapers must be adjudged to be altogether for good and for the enlarge ment and enlightenment of the popular mind. ANOTHER "LYNCHING BEE." It Is aa Iadlaaa Mai This Time John Terrell Pays the Penalty for the Mur der of m Railroad Conductor. Bedford, Indiana, May 15. At 2:10 o'clock this morning a mob of a hundred men appeared before the jail here, forced the sheriff to give up the keys and took John Terrell, who murdered Conductor L. F. Price at Seymour, from his cell and hanged him in the jail yard. Terrell begged for his life, but his appeals met with silence. m.. 1 , A j 1 me lyncmng was conducted in a mosv orderly manner, Terrell's cries being the only sound beard. After lynching their man, the mob - requested that the body should not be taken down until daylight, after which it dispersed. The mob hanged Terrell to a tree in the jail yard, within twelve feet of the railroad track, so that persons on all passing trains this morning can see his body. He was dressed as though he had been expecting them. They completed their job at 2:20 o'clock. There were forty-three men at the jail, masked, and about fifty or wxty standing around at different parts over the city. Feediag ta Salt Horses. New York Sun.

Should Have Long Ears. Qreensboro Record. E. G. Harrell, of the North Carolina Teacher, who has been making violent attacks on Prof. Mclver and the State Normal School, was determined to have an endorsement of his course even if he had to write it himself, which he did in this week's Biblical Recorder, under the signature of "Observer. Harrell's course was not noticed for some time; finally one or two papers picked him up and gently flayed him, but not a single paper in the btate nas en dorsed his views, which, are simply fool ish and exaggerated out of all reason. In the article referred to above. Prof. Mclver is attacked personally. He de manded, as he had a right to do, the author. Mr. Bailey, the editor of the Recorder, replied that the article was sent by a messenger from the store of Alfred Williams & Co., and was in the writing of E. G; Harrell. Read the Teacher, then read " Obser vers" article in the Recorder and you will say at once that nature failed to make Harrell's ears as long as they should have been. The idea of a gentleman resorting to any such methods for "endorsement " of his course, is too utterly ridiculous for anything. A Patriotic Expression. Washington News.

Mr. mitn usually wears a hieh silk hat but this morninir I w ' he wore a soft, brown felt hat, and looked every inch a Southener.

Representative Hemphill, of South Carolina, was given a complimentary banquet and reception one night last week just before he-returned to South Carolina. He married here and both he and his wife are 'very popular. Mr. Mr. Cleveland thinks highly of him and entertained an idea of putting him on the Supreme Court bench of the district He will make the race for Congress again next year with every prospect of success. He is to-day the most conspicuous able man in the Palmetto State, and ought to be in the Senate. Iif the course of his speech he made one remark which I quote for the benefit of those who are grumbling because Mr. Cleveland has not turned people out rapidly enough. He said "that up to date the President had made more appointments than Gen. Harrison had done, and had likewise beaten his own record of 1885." Carl Schurz was here a few days ago and took dinner with the President While here it is said that he called upon Mr. Carlisle to protest against so many removals from offices. Mr. Schurz de sires to have competent officials, who have not been offensively partisan, re tained in the service of the Government He made an earnest appeal to Secretary Carlisle in behalf of this principle. The Secretary is said to have assured him that he was not unmindful of the Civil Service law, but that he considered a great many changes necessary for the Ktt-rr.r.f nf tha aarvioa TTa u H that I " I 1 ii : or J I unless UM well ui uiuw uuhcbbou Oiwir ' for their fitnes8' Within an houi after Mr. Schurz left, Mr. Carlisle called for the resignation of eight heads of divisions. One of them has been in the Treasury department thirty-three years. Some mugwumps went to Mr. Carlisle and urged as a rea son why he should be reinstated that he had not voted in thirty years. That ought to be sufficient to make him ineligible 1 Any man who doesn't take enough inter est in the government to vote, isn't fit to hold any office in the gift of the govern ment. There are my sentiments. m Senator B. F. Ayoock, Representative W. R. Allen, and I. F. Dortch, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Wayne county, are here this week. They are rejoiced at the appointment of Mr. Jno. W. Bryan as postmaster at Goldsboro, and are too sensible to rail at the President because it was not done m m , sooner, or because ne does not mate wholesale removals without time, for con sideration. It is understood here that Chas. Price, U. S. District Attorney for the Western district, will resign July 1st. Mr. Glenn has been here for a week. Mr. Elias came in tms morning, it is Deuevea that Mr. C. B. Aycock will soon be ap pointed in the Eastern district. Dr. Geo. W. Sanderlin is in the city having been called hereby a telegram sent by Senator Ransom. It is understood that Secretary Carlisle intends to give . ifinn in w Tnxunrr itw Third or Fourth Auditor, which would pay $3,800, or a position that would pay $2,750. His appointment is reasonably certain. Capt Alexander and Mr. Crawford are here looking after the interests of their constituents. Capt Alexander called on the Secretary of war who promised that the Wyandotte would be sent to Wilming- ton on the occasion of the Naval Review, Mrs. Crawford, who has been in 'Wash- ington since her marriage until called I home by the death of her father, will not return this spring. I - . . it.. "enfn"OT ;m ""T1 wrl President a few dayi ago, he asked the I Senator's opinion of an extra session. He is quoted as saying; " Mr, President, if you call us togeth er in September, Just after the dog days, we will be hot and lazy and wont do anything, and you will cuss because we don't do anything, and we will cuss be cause you expect us to do something and we cant, and so I think October is the best time." " I agree with you entirely," observed the President. Senator and Mrs. Vance have gone to Gombroon and do not expect to return until Congress assembles. His health is fair, but he is unable to stand the great i strain upon him without rest Mr. W. W. McDiarmid was here yes terday enroute to Chicago to attend the meeting of the National Editorial Con vention. I had the pleasure of hearing him laugh and that made me happy a wholelday. Mr. H. A. London and daugh- ter, Miss Lacy, and Mrs. W. F.Tom linson, J. T. Griffin, Q. W. Blount and I Than - R Vann nv hm mnAnntn represent the North Ccrolina press at the great gathering of our editors. Big preparations have been made for their I .. . ... reception. Later tnis montn all the edi tors will go on an excursion to do the big Fair. Mr. Cicero W. Harris says: "The President tells Representative Grady that he is aware of the difference between Buffalo and a Southern citv, and the Fayetteville postoffice question is consid ered in better shape than it was Satur day. Specific charges Will be filed and submitted to the President Mr. Grady is very much pleased with his reception by the President." I have no doubt that the removal wil be made. But it will not be made unti the Senators and Mr. Grady agree on the proper man to receive the appointment At this writing there has been no agree ment, and of course a removal cannot be made until there is an agreement as to which of the two good men (Mr. Cole and Mr. Gates) shall be appointed. In addition to that it will be necessary to show that the postmaster isobjectionable and that he is an offensive partisan. When these things are done the remova will be made not till then. I do not think the President ought to require charges to be preferred against a Republican before the Postmaster General removes him from office. The fact that be is a Republican and was appointed for that reason ought to be charge enough. Sen ator Vest put this idea very neatly a few days ago .when he called on the Post master General and asked to have a cer tain postmaster removed. "What are the charges ?" asked the Postmaster Gen eral. The Senator replied: "What were the charges against Mr. Wanamak erf Did you have to prefer charges against him before you got your place !" Mr. Simmons, Chairman of the Demo cratic State Executive Committee has been here several days, all North Caro linians have been glad to see him. It is not yet known when he will be appointed Collector of Internal Revenue, but it is certain that he will get the place.

Capt. John Wilkes, of Charlotte, has been appointed on the Board of Visitors to the Naval Academy. This gives North Carolina a member of the board to both the great schools of the government, and is a merited compliment to our State and two of its best citizens. Col. Galloway, of Reidsville, was here to have a change made in the location of the new postoffice building in that town. He succeeded. Col. W. H. S. Burgwyn is believed to have a good chance for appointment as Bank Examiner. Mr. Ecclea, the Comp troller, is said to have formed a good opinion of "him. There is now in the treasury more than two million dollars of gold more than the 11,000,000 reserve required by law, and the fear of a panic is lessened greatly. There is great doubt as to which direc tion the financial legislation of the next Congress will take. Mr. Cleveland wants the Sherman silver law repealed. It ugnt to do aone, out somevuing ougui, be done to increase the circulating medium wnen u is repeal wu. mere seems 19 De some ground ior tne Denei that the Southern and Western Democrats will agree to vote for a repeal of the Sher man law if the Northern Democrats would agree to abolish the tax on the circulation of State banks. This would give us financial relief and I do not be lieve that anything else would. In an interview in the Springfield Republican oays ago, oenau.r v ance is quouw saying: "I have no hesitation in saying that if the Sherman law is repealed by the next Congress at anybody's instance, under any pressure, without enacting some law providing for the continued recognition and coinage of silver, there will be a row I in this country infitutelr bigger than the .nj .. .f v .vni "n. w JITCt faanltaTn pie wffl not stand any further insults on silver and this may as well be understood now as at any time." X - The Bell telephone patent expires next year or the year after. When itexplrea, unless some other patent is granted or the legerdemain of the past administra tion stands, there will be an end to the monopoly in the telephone business. But in order to keep a monopoly, the Draw baugh application for a telephone patent has been kept alive, and an attempt will be made to have it enjoy the exclusive privilege of taxing the people which the Bell people have been enjoying a long time. So desperate is the monopoly crowd, that there is a great toandal here which involves ex-Commissioner of Pat ents Simonda. He is charged with having caused to be made, while in office, copies of all the papers in the Drawbaugh case which were on file in the secret archievea of the department It is believed that this Drawbaugh case is Interwoven with an arrangement by which it is expected to continue the great telephone monopoly for another term of years. This action on the part of Harrison's commissioner of patents, was brought to the attention of the new Commissioner of Patents, who called the attention of Mr. noke Smith, Secretary of tfie Interior to it j The re sult is that an investigation will be made It was a flagrant violation of his official position if the charges against the ex Commissioner are true. The Supreme Court has decided that all Chinese must be registered or be sent back to China. Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Brewer and Field dissented, holding that the act of 1892 requiring sifch registration was unconstitutional.

Dewey has been appointed 8a perintendent of the Publid Building at Reidsville. Secretary Carlisle continues the good work by daily calling for the resignation of Republican officials. There is a shaking up of dry bones here and many old Re publicans are being made to walk the plank. Other secretaries are doing the same thing, though more slowly. Dr. W. R. Wood, Capt J. B. Burwell, Dr. Geo. A. Foote and Mr. R. F. Boykln are here to examine the Government In sane Asylum and to get plans for the new buildings at Raleigh.
