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. ' for sale at 75 cents per hundred. Apply to R. W. Lassiter, Receiver. 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.
