Pqual Taxation, pirect and Indirect. VOL. X WTLKRSBORO, N. C. THURSDAY. NOV. 22, .1894. XO. 34 The Ohronicl.e. 'Y R. A. DEAL, Edlto and Proprietor. Entered at the P.tsf-oifiae in Wikeshno "as second-class matter. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 22, 1894. The last Congress abolished 449 offices and saved the people '8581,179 a year. ; The official vote of virgina snows about 25,000 majority for. the "unterrified" ' Demo crats. ' . . Judge Battle has decided that the Moravian property in Salem is uubject' to taxation. 'An appeal has been taken' to the Supreme court. w ' O O Democrats may with pro priety refer to the recent elect Ion as the "late unpleasant ness." A few republicans can also join the chorus. Some crank has stolen the championship belt from James .'Corbett, which he won in the fights with Sullivan and Mitch ell. Some other crank should now hunt up the thief. a -- About the shortest strike on rr w? n C3 rtw n tl rt NJ hit Trti.frtTr last week which lasted 20 min- uts. The company complied with the demands of the hands and" are now turning them off at pleasure. .i J K Joe Robertson ought not to disturb our people with such unanswerable questions as, "where will Linney stand?" We are all plain common peo pie and not gifted with the spirit of prophecy. Muskrats are lorming "con fusion" up in Marj land. They undermined the Elkhat knit ting mills and they fell into the St. Joseph river, totally demol ishing them. They have cer tainly caught the spirit of reform. A Judge in 111. has decided that it is unlawful to bet on horse races. This however will not elfect fox racing in the State' of TFilkes. We make -this anribuncmeht so that our fox hunting friends may not ' be disturbed. Some of the 'f usionists" "have been calling on the Dur ham N. C. postmaster for the $50 per capita that was prom ised them. They thought it would come by mail to all who voted that ticket. But it hasn't come. , A negro womaa the famous lecturer "Mrs. Williams was turned down by the 'elite" up r in Chicago last week, because she made, application to join the "elite" society . And too right up there where they have been preaching social equality to V the South? "VVho woujd havo thought it? ' ' : '''.. The republicans want the world and it fenced up. After the pops gained a victory for . them they, are going to contest or in en, tne oniy pop eiectea there on the State" ticket the rest " . being republicans. That's not - treating the pops fair. : ' There were twel ve. populist Congressmen ; in Congress, last session. Only six were elected at the last election. -Tlie pop tilists had the pleasureof elect- i jng republican Congressmen. rln the language of . one of our best citizens, we are sure' -they y ill come back and L "fall in Snow is a good thing some times, uut in Colorado last iveek a snow storm extinguish ed a forest' fire which was doing much harm. ' - W r i i Up in Pennsylvania one of he "elite" lubs have sued a lain country man for damages ecause he sold said club a cat instead of a 'possum and the members eat it. l tasted ' fl ight until the club got sober nd some fellow told them they ad been eating cat. They all ot sick of course but it was too ate for "the cat to come back" and they want damage now. Since the Republicans found out that' the next Congress wij be Republican they have nstituted 26 contests for seats in tne Mouse or Kepres nta- ives. They depend upon the Republican majority there to carry them through', and they'll get there too, if they do like they did under Czar Reed be- ore. "Gideon" W lson qf Raleigh, and one Mr. Hussey, the Washington correspondent of he Caucasion and Winston 'itepublican, both want to be Sergeant at arms of the U. S. Senate. Wilson claims that le has done valiant work, and 3ussey bases his claims on his ffot to play Benedict Arnold u this State two years ago. Who will Marion reccommend? Sherman on The Landslide. Senator Sherman, the oldest iind most astute republican jolitican in the country, is not io jubilant as his more enthusi iistic brethren in this section. 3e simply thinks it a rebuke jO the tardiness of Congress and ie,don't know, on which side he rebuke will be next time. 5e says on this line: The people punished the Republcans i n 1890 and 1892 and now they have changed. To say they cannot or are not ikbly to turn back again is' to make a s tronger statement than I would care ' o venture. He does not believe the esult is an endorsement of AlcKinley ism, either, and there tvill be very little if any tariff egislation: I do not regard' the present result as un indorsement of the McKinley bill or a demand on the part of the eople for radical tariff legislation. 'Cjhere will undoubtedly be some mem )'ers:y.h'Q, will regard it as such, but I lardly believe the party will enter into ilny extreme legislation of this- kind. He says he is not an extreme Drotectionist and says; I be ieve in so placing the duties as to allow a healthy, foreign competition, and if I should see ;hat any duty was making a nonopoly, I would take that duty off." He further says: ; The Republicans went to an extreme on the question in 1890i -because they lad absolute control ofall thebranches of the government. If there had been uny check they would not have done so. n the same way the Democrats went to un extreem in this Congress. . He is not very confident of he result of 1896, f or he says;; What bearin g this may ha ve i hi the campaign for President : n 1896 I could not say, as I ie'ver attempt to make any irbphesy in politics." I i This is all respectfully refer ed to.the over hop.eful fusion sts and also the depressed Democrats. - ? What Free Coinage Meanes.

"v - , ' Chairman Pou Speaks. , Chairman James Pou, of the Democratic committee, was in terviewed Jbeforo he left Ra leigh last week, ana' he spoke in a pleasant and patriotic manner, one worthy of the splendid citizen and gentle man that he is. When asked the causes of de feat by the Raleigh News & Observer reporter, .he said that it was .the "stay-at-home" Democratic vote. The cause of this apathy among Demo crats be attributed to 1. The slowness of the ac tion of the Democratic con gress. 2. Depression in the prices of agricultural products. 3. Dissatisfaction caused by 'the distribution of the Federal patronage. He, like all good citizens, accepts the resu Ungracefully & patriotically. He has no un kind word to say of the boys who beat us. His advice should be headed. It is the part of Democracy to build up instead of tear down, and if the conf usionists can do any good for North Carolina, they may depend upon it that De mocracy will uphold tllem in it against the world. That is Democratic principle and Dem oeratje record. Listen to Pou: Mr. Pou said he thought it the duty of all Democrats to accept the result in good faith, and as far as our new offi cers, judges, solicitors, Congressmen and legislators did 'well, sustain them. If they Jid evil condemn them, but to wait for the. evil act before criticising, give them the. ored-it for good in tentions till the contrary; was proven. He said it was a time for all. people to be moderate and conservative, there had been much feeling in the cam paign, and in some sections the tension had be? n great. This was passing off and would disappear soon . As to the future of Democra cy, he, like all who know that "Democracy is immortal," is hopeful: As to the future of the Democratic party Mr.' Pou said he had no fears. The chances were ten to one we would carry this State in 1896. we have plenty of Democratic votes in the State to day to carry it over any combination and two years of opposition rule will give our stay-at-home voters, ample reasons for voting in 1896. They Hare a Right to Expect it. Leroir Topic. we are already beginning to reap the fruits of the ' 'glorious yictory toe have Avon." Thursday a negro approached Chairman John 51. Downs, of the Board of County Commissioners, as he was standing in front of the court house and told him the signs of the times pointed to mixed juries and asked him what bis Board had to say about it. Mr. Downs told him all he had to say about it was, that if he ever mentioned that subject to him again, he would knock every tootli " in his head down his throat. y If what the . republicans havQrbeen preaching to the ne groes is true and they have ever meant anything they have said, the negroes have a right to expect a share in every official matter. They have a right to expect to be represent ed on the Juries and on the Board of Commisioners. And that ail this may be done.peace ably and without "fraud," we are in favor of General Charles Williams, colored, for chair man of the Board of Commis sioners. - IjORTR CAROLINA,) Superior Court.

Evan Anderson, an inmate of the Poor house, committed suicide on last Saturday by shooting himself with a pistol. Mr. Staley, the keeper, was not at home at the- time, and Anderson went to Staley's son and asked for a pistol. The son refused to give him one ; but Anderson afterwards found I the pistol, and went into a room locked it and then shot himself, the ball taking effect in his left breast. He died in a very short time. Anderson is ! aUout forty years Id and leaves a family. He was placed in the poor house a year or so ago, ' but he has frequently gotten I away from there and roamed j around the country acting as if i he were crazv. Efforts we.rfi made to get him into .the insane asylum, but were unsuccessful. He was no douot crazy when he shot him self. He was buried, Sunday. i i ai The Landmark says; "Some of our newly elected- officials celebrated their elections last week by copiously imbibing of "sowpaw." The Wilkes officials have not yet celebrated in that manner. i -a2aSK Bob Fitzsimmohs killed Con Riordon at Syracuse last week, while practicing as . pugilists. Bob gave Con'a blow on the jaw which produced hemorrh- : age of the brain. The only strange thing is that the blow should produce hemorrhage of the "brain" it had mighty little substance to work on.

"God Savethe State.? v Stat sville Ltrndniark.

This last sentence is not in nommon use beig generaly omited. .' Wednesday of last week-, hwever when, news , was coming over the wires that made bvery Demo crat! heart go down into Lis . boots. Sheriff IFycoff adjourned the Superior Couat for the noon recess. After4mking the usual proclomation'he' paused for "an instant," and then evidently bethinking himself that the State needed "sving" just now if it ever did, he added with save the State and thisljonorable" court ."Me Hay Si Ml AN OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES ONLiT ; ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE.
