' eisk oa Taeedav last, and one of Che points to which they are direct ing attention now is efficient aethods of collecting insolvent poll taxes. The first difficulty in Craven ceeaty is in getting peopLi to list Cbeir poll tax. The law seems to be eaJSctent, but county officials in this day aa4 ue live above the law, ad are naf atwdient thereto. Tax list takers are required to re turn to the clerk of tbe lx)ard cf commissioners a list ot tbe taxable polls ia his township not given in tor taxation, and those who wilfully failed ia give themselves in are deemed gadtf of a misdemeanor. aidoD convictioa thereof a hall be clned not more than fifty dollars or imprisoned not more than tbirty days. Save Urn list takers of Craven cooftty eomplwd with this law If not, why not! As for collecting tbe poll can the law is amply sufficient. 'We assert that if affaeriffs will do their duty no one bat aa siasolate pauper, entitled 0 tbe aid of ta?e coanty, can evade paying poll tax. Bit they do not do their duty in this respevt, nor will tby as long as coanty comissiotwrs callow tbem to retnrn so many as in solvent. The only remedy is to cnake the trbefirT responsible for erery listed polk tiwn if he chooses to pay it oat of his own pocket rather than do his duty iu collecting tt, all well and good. Some steps oagbt to be taken to con pel all alike to pay their poll tax or it oaght to bo abolished. the committee -nv that th with so me sin all e xce pt mil in,-' 111 the .iL'L'lt-i;.! 1 e to rive dollars, has Inen ptnpvrly ex. pwli ded . They -show quite a different state of aftairs from that shown by tbe State- Caramels in its recent ine tigv.ion; but that is merely a differ ence of opinion. What the ( hron- iWc would consider extravagant and useless cxeuditiires, the fi nance committee regard as ueces sarv aud legitimate. But the Chronicle' idea will strike tbe pub-1 lie miud; it is an easy matter to arouse the prejudices of the people against this Departmeuf, because there are so few who see and feel the good that it is doing. To show that money has 1ii spent aud that tbe State has not beeu bene-1 tited thereby, will strike the opn j lar mind as wastelul and ixtrava j gauf, but every intelligent knows that ex eri men tin g is cost, ly business. Many a farmer has Kent money in experimenting and got nothing iu retnrn, luit bis expe rience, which in tbe main, was what he was seeking tor.

A tew Mr. Lon Changing the Climates' of Continent. 1 According to a very eminent en gineer, the building of a great dam above the Straits ot Belle Isle. would make a marvelous change in the climate ol the ITnted States and Europe. It is known th it the Gulf Stream, which issues fiotn the Ca ribbean Sea. pours its current 01 warm water north and east and im pinges ui)on the west coast of Flurope, raising the temperature of that continent and modify ing more especially the ind iii nlly (.'old climate of the British Islands. Its uillu ence is felt as far, is Xorwav lo such an extent that there is one harbor on that icebound coast which is open all winter long. Not only does our coast get no ;.,-iietit from the tepid waters 01 the Gulf Stieam, but 1 we are subject to the refrigerating 1 influence of eiminioiis currents of I icy water conn ng fi.nn the Arctic I regions, which now ilows through , the Straits of Belle Isle into the 'Gulf of St. Lawrence. It continues its .-southern course along the Cape Breton Islands. Nova Scotia, and tow, ud Nantucket Island. South ol that point it ins what is called .the cold wall of the Gulf Stream, 'which lowers the temperature ot our Atlantic coast as far as Cape Hatteras. The problem would be todetlectthe polar current of ice water away from the Straits of Bell ANNUAL COUNTY DEBT STATEMENT.

The Chronicle gives the names and number of immigrants induced by the Barean daring tbe lxst three yearn. We woald like to know the namber that has left the State dur ing the same period of time and see a balanee struck. Tbe State ought to bend her effort., by establishing iadoatrial school, granting more aid to the public schools, and eu eoaragtng hoove enterprise, to pre vent emigration a well as encour aging matigration. In looking over the ChronurU'M list of tbe people "whom Comiour aioner Patbick baa induced to set tle id tbe State, during the year 1883, 1884 and 1885" we find this item which we think will be news to some of oar people hereabouts: J A.

The sale here alluded to, if we are not greatly mistaken, was brought about by thi1 individual efforts of some of our euterpruwig citizens, altogether outside of the influence' of Mr. Patkh'k's Bureau.

Lieut .'Francis Winslow, assisted by Mr. Jas. A. Mattocks, in the lit tle survey steamer Nanplius, are still at work in white Oak River, surveying snd analysing the waters and bottoms, etc., and telling the people all about the profit in oyster culture. Mr. Mattocks is tbe right man for an assistant, as he has made it a study for a long time, and knows all about an oyster and oys ter seasoning. The buildings on the Simuiou's place, on New River, were all burn ed down last week. The place be longed to Mr. YA. Barlow, who had just purchased it from Mr. J. O. Frazelle. Mr. G. R.

In a couutry where every man and boy may carry a gun and keep a dog if he wishes to, and where people generally little heed who shoots, or what is shot, whether the laws are obeyed or broken, what wonder is it 'that wild birds and beasts disappear, and that our mar kets, are almost bare of game, in seasons when it should be cheap aud plenty? Game of all kinds is plentier and cheaper, all over Eng and, Prance, and Germany, than it is here. The time may possibly come, when the right to carry n fowling piece wilf be obtained by paying a high license Be, when the privilege of shooting over certain districts, will be sold for a term of years to the highest bidder, or dis posed ot at an annual reutal. Should that time come, game will be abuud ant again. Many townships or school districts, if they had the right and the will to enforce it. might in tins way secure an income -nihcient to pay all school expenses, and vers likelv a good part of the highway tax. As it is, larmeis m ight do a great deal it they would, tow ards suppressing t his irrespon si iile, general shooting, which is go mi every autumn. It will be necessary lor them first to become familiar with the game laws, and then aid in enforcing them by every means iu their power. Neighbors' boys are the worst.

Demoresfs Monthly, j From Washington. j Washington, Jan. 24. repre sentative Cole had an interview yesterday with the President. Iu the course of the conversation tbe President elucidated the principles by which he had endeavored to guide his administration. He said he felt satisfied that he enjoyed the confidence of the American people, aud that they approved the course he had pursued. lie believed the people agreed with him that the highest duty of the Executive lay not in the distribution of offices, but in securing good government. But very little had been done lor Maryland, for instance, in the way of federal patronage, yet he had marked the increase of the Demo cratic majority at the late election.

Peferritig to the in vitation to attend the Charity Ball in Baltimore, the President said he had been much impressed with the objects Of the Society for the Pro tection of Children ot that city. The ladies and gentlemen seemed al ways to bear in mind the words of our Saviour, "Suffer the little chil dren to come unto Me, and forbid them not; for of such is the King dom of Heaven." He would like very much to attend the ball, and had been working hard to get through w;th business before him so as to do so if possible. He had desired il' practicable to extend to the society all the advantage which would be theirs by reason of the presence of the President of the I'uited States. This would show his appreciation of the association and its high purposes. Dr. Cole discussed with the Presi dent fully the important points cov ered by the executive message, so that he might intelligently, in his proposed speech before the House, address himselt to the measures and purposes of ; he administration. Dr. Cole has not concluded when he will make his speech as the House, w hen it goes in "committee, of the whole-' next week, must first dispose of the "increase of widows' pension question." lie thinks he will be able to secure '.lie Moor lor Tuesday next.
