OXFORD, N. C
MARCH 3, 1893
Senator Poller, of Kansas, says,
that as a Populist he regards it a
his duty not to put an obstruction
in the wav of the Democrats organ
i.ing tlie next Senate.
The nomination of John V L.
Kindlajr, of Baltimore, to he arbi
trator for the United States in the
matter of Chilian claims has been
rejected by the United States Sen
ate. A negro miner in Missouri fell in
to a shaft a depth of SO feet, fell on
his head, didn't phase that but dis
located his shoulder blades and came
near knocking the bottom out ol j
the mine.
.Republicans are grumbling be
cause the Australian ballot law pass
ed in Alabama will disfranchise 40,
000 Republican voters. Well what
difference does it make? They never
cinild elect auvbodv.
Senator Peller says it is all non
sense to talk about refusing to give
J udge Martin the seat in the Sen
ate to which he was elected. He
has his certificate of election in due
form from a Governor whose authori
ty no one disputes, and the Senate
can't go behind the returns.
Peter Johnson, an aged colored
man of Clarksville, Tenu., was sup
posed to have died Tuesday, Thurs
day as friends were watching at his
bedside he suddenly arose ond asked.
" Where am I?'1 and what's the
matter? The watchers fled in
terror. The old man was taken up
and is rapidly recovering.
The discussion of the introduc
tion of crinoline, or what plain folks
call hoopskirts, is taking up a good
deal of valuable space in the news
papers just now. Bills have been
introduced in several State Legisla
tures to prohibit ladies from wear
ing these outlandish things, but it
is safe to say that they will be
worn.
According to the Chicago Inter
Ocean, Hep., the Republicans in the
North Dakota Legislature had 42 on
joint ballot to 19 Democrats, and
21 of all shades of independents,
forty in all, giving the Republicans
a majority of 2, but the Democrats
got there and elected a straight dyed
in the wool Democrat, and a native
of Virginia.
The Record says the new Popu
list sheriff of Chatham has appoint
ed a colored man as one of his as
sistants at court, and adds: 44 It may
be one of the 'reforms' contem
plated by the Third party, but it is
the first time in the history of Chat
ham that a negro officer in our
court house has ordered white man
to keep silencer'
Judge William Lindsay, the new
Senator from Kentucky, is a man
full of resources. On one occasion
he had a bad case and was abusing
the opposite party to the suit round
ly. Finally he said something
specially offensive, when the party
approached him and, whispering in
his ear, said; "I will give you just
five minutes to retract that remark.
If you don't do it I will kill you.7'
44 Well," said Judge Lindsay, smil-ino-.
" what do I want to wait five
minutes for? I will take it back '
right now."
SOVXD ADVICE.
A conference of negroes, partici
pated in by nearly a thousand per
sons, was held recently in Tuskegee,
Alabama, at which the following de
claration was mad:
"We are convinced that our stand
ing among men is to be of our own
making, and we shall best aid in the
establishment of a correct standard
of living by drawing a sharp line
between virtue and vice, and in
visiting upon all wrong-doors the
full weight of a righteous public
sentiment."
TJIEALLIAXCE CHARTER REPEAL
HI EE.
The bill amending the charter of
the State Alliance, passed its third
reading in the Senate. It was a
substitute for the House bill which
repealed the charter.
The Senate substitute embodies
these features: It allows any per
son or sub-Alliance that has contri
buted to the State Business Agency
to withdraw any sum contributed,
and provides machinery for said
withdrawal and it provides that the
agency shall not be used for politi
cal purposes.
The substitute passed unani
mously and is, satisfactory to those
who desire the agency to continue
business, and also to those who de
sire to withdraw their contributions.
STATE PRINTING.
On last Thursday night, in the
Democratic caucus, Josephus Dan
iels, editor of the North Carolinian,
was re-elected for the fourth time
State Printer by the complimentary
vote of 83 to 17.
In 1S87, in the Democratic cau
cus, this editor was elected by a vote
of 48 to 30 over two competitors. In
1889 he was re-elected by a vote of
98 to 19. In 1891 he was re-elected
bv a unanimous vote. In 1893 he
was elected for a fourth time by a
vote of 83 to 17.
The result of the printing con
test is simply this: The office and
the honor goes to the public printer
and the pay goes to the practical
printers. The effect is that this
editor gives the bond and assumes
the responsibility in order to give
practical printers work to paying
wages. The cut in the price every
cent comes off the public printer,
and the wages of the compositors
will not be reduced a dime. There
is no middleman. If anv individ
nal or corporation is displeased at
this, this editor and the Legislature
can stand their displeasure. The
chief thing this editor wanted is
what he got the overwhelming
endorsement of the Democratic
caucus. Carolinian.
The Wilmington and Weldon
back tax dispute, which has been
agitating all North Carolina for
weeks, has been settled. It has been
agreed by all parties that the Wil
mington and Weldon Railroad com
pany is to pay to the state three
years back taxes on branch lines,
and a sum equal to three years
taxes on the main line and all other
property, and is to pay to counties
on branch lines three years back
taxes, and to pay to counties and
cities along the main line two years
back for J 89 1 and 1892. All im
munities arc to be surrendered, and
all ratefixing rights.
The members of the Michigan
Legislature celebrated Washington's
birthday in a peculiar way. They
gave up the morning session and
four bills were introduced making
an appropriation of $10,000 to pay
the expenses of the members of the
Legislature, their wives, families
and mother-in-laws at the World's
Fair; to compel hens to lay in the
the winter time; to prevent the
raising of corns on the feet of any
farmer in the State, etc.

THE PUBLIC LEDGER
THE CABINET COMPLETE
President-elect Cleveland has
finally announced all the members
of his cabinet, and the complete list
s as follows:
Walter K. Gresham, of Illinois,
secretary of state; John G. Carlisle,
of Kentucky, secretary of the trea
sury; Daniel S. Lamont, of New
York, secretary of war; Hilary A.
Herbert, of Alabama, secretary of
the navv; Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
secretary of the interior; J Sterling
Morton, of Nebraska, secretary of
agriculture; Wilson S. Bissel, of
New York, postmaster general;
Richard W. Olney, of Massachusetts,
attorney general.
The cabinet is generally regarded
as a very strong one, although two
or three members of it are men who
have never achieved much notoriety
and are but little known outside of
their own States. This is especi
ally true of Hon. Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and Richard Olney, of
Massachusetts, the latter of whom
has never been prominent even in
local politics.
ST A T E r I X A X C ES.
The taxable value of property up
on which the estimates are based is
$262,000,000, though this will be in
creased by the tax assessment June
1st. The tax of 22 cents on pro
perty will yield about $600,000 for
general purposes; the pension-tax Jof
3 cents, $93,000; the school-tax at
15 cents (though effects will be
made to increase it to 18), $393,000.
The special taxes; are estimated at
$200,000. The receipts will meet
the expenditures estimated for and
leave a working balance. The prin
cipal items of expenditure for each
of the two years for public institu
tions are as follows: I nsane asylums
Western, $96,000; Raleigh; $67,
000; Eastern, $46,000; total, $209,
000, Greensboro' Normal School,
$17,000; State University $30,000;
Deaf-Mute School, $40,000; Blind
Institution, $45,000; white Agricul
tural and Mechanical College, $17,
500; colored, $7,500; white Normal
School at Cullowkee, $4,500; colored
normal schools, including new one
at Durham, $6,500.
The total appropriations of the
current year for all purposes are
$875,000. The receipts will be
about $890,000. Of these about
$65,000 are back taxes from the
Wilmington and Weldon railway.
The stockholders of the latter have
by an overwhelming vote ratified
the act of agreement as to the tax
settlement made by the Legislature
and President Elliott, of the Wil
mington and Weldon, and Gover
nor Carr is so notified.
