OXFORD, N. C , MARCH 25, 1890. r.m roiti i. x(n i:s. Col. A. M AVaddell is announced as one of the speakers at the Sub Tropical Exposition at Jacksonville, Fla., on Carolina Day. An additional expenditure of $"0, 000 das liecn authorized ly Secretary Proctor for the protection of the Mississippi river levees, making the total allotment . 1 70,000. "ALraham Lincoln's famous defini tion," says the lioston Pilot, "has been amended to read: "A govern ment of the people, by Speaker Keed, for the Uepublieaii party." " Dr. Ta linage is said to make $."(), 000 a year and let 31 rs. T. run the easli u rawer. This is very clever in him and shows that he has confidence in her ability to drive a bargain. An Ohio Legislator who has got tired sitting up of nights with a double-barrel shot gun keeping guard over his hen roosts has in troducted a bill in the Legislature making robbing a hen house bur glary The Mobile Xews refuses to sup port Mr. Kolb for Governor because he holds railroad'passes and says he pays his tare. A man who holds railroad passes and pays his fare, it doubtless concludes, hasn't got gump tion enough to be a Governor. VAXCE AXD THE KAIMIOAI) Capt. John B. Hussey, at one time editor of the Greensboro Pa triot, and more lately a chief of di vision in the treasury department, at Washington Mr. Hussey, who heretofore in his correspondence, at least, has not developed any paiticu lav love for Vance says: "He has always been the choice of the farmers of North Carolina, ami he has been given to understand that they still appreciate his great worth and devotion to principle. Of all the farmers in the Senate, he was selected to introduce the agri cultural depository bill, which is the offspring of the National Alli ance, and which is regarded bv that organization as test legislation. It begins the tight against the National Bank and Kail road monopolies. The House and Senate will both have an opportunity to make a lecord on it. The Alliance has determined to push the measure to a vote. The first hearing will be had in April, when President Polk will address the Senate committee on agriculi ure. The next State legislature, it is said. will show a large Alliance majority in both branches, and so far as can now be seen Vance will be the choice of that element. It is mle or be ruined with the farmers now, as they see it, and if the protection of th-di interests involves politi's, they must either go into polities or go to pieces. There are stirring times ahead, unless all the signs are misleading." XEWS A150UT THE STATE. WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Gower Price, of Ludlow county, X. B. has a hear which crawled into his hay-barn last fall and has been asleep there ever since. He will ffer it for sale when Bruin wakes, which will be in a fortnight, from his long winter sleep. Crowds of peo ple flock to see the sleeper. The Blair bill was defeated in the Senate Thursday by a vote of ;7' to ol. Tt had passed the Senate several times in previous Congresses, and its defeat for the first time in that body, after a fight of nearly eight years, demonstrates the growth of public sentiment against the measure. Senators Vance and Ransom were paired. Both of them wete at home when the vote was taken. Vance being opposed to the hill and Ran som in favor of it. AOitTII CiROLIXA SK.VSATKKVS. North Carolina has long been a fruitful field for the sensational newspaper correspondent says the Richmond State. Items telegraphed from North Carolina to the North ern papers are sensational or noth ing. Our North Carolina exchanges are as conservative as the other Southern papers and never print blood-curdling sensations or remark able happening unless the facts ex ist. But no State in the Union, not even the roughest Territory, is so widely advertised as a sensation producing section as North Carolina. j. no rsorioiK I'ublic Ledger speak our sentiments on this subject when it says not only are comparative v insignificant matters distorted or magnified, but frequently there is no ground whatever for alleged occur rences, as in the case which was re ported last week, when it was stated that a young lady, whose room was invaded by a negro burglar, drew from under her pillow a pistol, with which she shot the burglar with fatal effect. The entire story is pronounced by the local papers in the county in which the affair is said to have oc curred, to be without foundation. Whether the correspondents furnish all the "embellishments" for such sensational items, or whether the work is done in the news paper offices, we do not know, but that the methods vhieh are pursued are disreputable must he generally admitted, and is damaging North Carolina in the eyes of the world. Sensationalism may "pay" for awhile but in the newspaper business, as in all other branches of industry, "hon esty is the best policy in the lono Itl KKTlDV IX T0I:A( i'W.-TIIF IMCOIiAltlj: 1CK('0M.11K.1AT1(.. Tt is said now that the Committee of Ways and Means of the National House of Representatives expect to have the tariff and revenue bill ready for reporting to Congress about April 1st, and it is now inferred that the revenue feature will not provide for the abolition of the Tobacco tax as so readily promised before the elec tion, but for reduction, probably i 4 cents per pound on Tobacco and Snuff and one-half on Cigars and Cigarettes. If the measure is really ready for the consideration of the House early in April four months after the opening of Congress it will take more prompt action to carry it through the House the pres ent session than has been the rule in former sessions, but possibly the new rules may assist the majority in disposing of it at their pleasure, regardless of the opposition or desires of the minority. But then, even should the House suceed in passing the measure this session. could they get it to the Senate in time to allow that body to give it dignified consideration and pass it before the session ended? We think not. Therefore we expect to see no chance in the Tobacco tax this year. Tobacco Journal. A4sC!iiMt! f:I(4Fi!io of ISecettt Occur rences Arm:i am?
