It is upon such occasiona as tin
Win! of February, Washington's
liirth Day, now so i.'iiiieriilly ceie
hrated as a National holiday by tin
people of the I'nited States, that
thero is a pause in the rush of trade
anil politics, aiid men jet tof-elhei
at banquets, and justly extol the
merits ami memories of tho Father
of hia Country, at the same give
consideration to the present ulTaii
of tho people and tho nation.
Tnid pause in our National rush,
and stoppage for a day to celcbraU
and give lienor to the nation's First
President, gives tho leaders of the
people an opportunity to assemble
at banquets anil givj public expres
sion to conditions of the govern
ment as they appear to them and to
outline policies which should he in
ftituted, and the defects which de
mand correction,
Washington's Bir ill Day in 189'j
was wisely celebrated in this way,
aud the pablio record of the speech
es delivered at different citiee
throughout the country most truly
'indicates that the influence uf
Washington still permeates the peo

of those in high official position,

their money Ja this Stale, then we can

Locke Crai.-e now got the lloor and
delivered llie liiii-si speech of t he ses
sion. Ii oppii-cd the proposed tax from
every standpoint, and especially because
il would beeiiing up the very ground
upon which the 1 Irmoeracy of the State
stands, lb- said that he had not expect
ed this 1 1 'i es t i i i to come up, hut he
would can y out llie pledge thai lie had
given lo hn people in llie campaign,
taal In' would deal justly with all classes
of chieiis, would treat both poor anil
rich alike.
Theie was linle mere oratory ill the
speech, il w as cool and measured, and
delivered in the modem school of states
manship. So much lime had passed that further
coiisi.lci ai ion of the mailer went over to
the nexl day. T'hlil llie revenue bill w ill
pass with not much more di-cussion is
piolmble.
The Senate passed a comparatively
ll ne it'll 1 1 ul morning. The great scei'c ol
tin' day was laid before the Committee
on , Propositions and C i iev anees in the
Senate chamber in lie- afternoon. The
closing of the heariii',' ol this ease, llie
Mecklenburg dispensary, was exceeding
ly dramatic nnd had I lie advantage of
being enacted under the relleelion of the
Hauling gas jets of the chamber.
The dispensary question has licen
fruit fill of debate, bill of nil llie hills
pass,. for dispensaries the Charlotte
hill capped the climax. Hundreds jof
th ei i i 'ens of I hal beam i (ul town were
present to urge the passage of the bill.
Tney came ill a special train and wore
h illlant badges of blue. The ablest
pleadeis of the city were with them lo
the committee lo give them lie law,
il hoiil submitting it to the people to
vole on the question. The huge peli
lions had the names of It, Hill while men
of Mecklenburg, They considered It a
new declaration, nnd tilled the chamber
with applause anil cheers, scarcely to I
cheeked by the chairman. The advo
cates of lue dispensary had things heir
own way by force of numbers.
The speeches were largely directed
against Senntor Isborne, w ho represents
Mecklenburg county and who was
against the bill. The Senator sat quietly
as he was referred to again and agali .
The committee weie evidently almost
unanimous')' favoring the bill. The
metnliers were those w ho were known
lo he Kindly disposed lo such measures.
When the lnsl speech w as lunde and the
dispensarisls were congratulating them
selves on iholr chances, tho former at
torney (leueral and now Senator,
Osborne, stepped in front of the com
miUee and In a few words appealed to
them lo slund by hlin. "I appeal to you
to Bland by mo ns I have stood by you
Don't let me go homo with such a re
fusal from thoic I havo befriended. Of
each of you I in ike 4his poisonal re
quest." Btnalor (lleuii arose and said "much
aa he loved Frank Otborno," he could
not do it. lie must do what Ids cor
clence told him wa right. It was a
moral question. Tho committee took a
rislog vole and the result was 4 to sad
Senator Mason being Intent sent word
that he voted ayo, and the Tote sleod 4
to S. It was probably the greatest per
sonal triumph that a Beualor has re
ceived on the Boor of the Senate.
' There was a great scattering of blue
badges and In a few minutes th wires
to Charlotte wcro laden with a tale of
woe. The minority report will come be
fore the Benate and If the present pros
pect comes true, there, will be a battle
over the report of Intense I a le rent. . '
The discussion on the llevennef bill
the previous day came to a close when
the Dispensary snsg was struck. The
obstruction was removed as follows; .
Winston offered' the following as a
substitute for part of section 81: lach
dlsKtnsary in the Stale treasury the fol
lowing frsucblse lasts. 1. Each dispen
sary or a towa of has than 1,000 people
S0. t. Each dupataary for a township
la auy county $900 sVEach dispensary

ing a,oo, -U0. 4 Each dlapceaary for
a town or city of S.OUO end not exceed
ing S.UOO, J0. S. Each dispeuaar) for
a low n or city over 0,010 aud (or each
dispensary for a county S500-, and I hat It
be the duly of all managers or officers of
the dispensaries In the Hlale lo remit
such tax lo the Stale treasurer on the
1st day of January of each day.
After considerable talk Craige offered
an amendment: "And it shall be the
duty of all managers of dispensaries lo
pay lo i he county treasurer for the bene
til of school fund of the county in which
such dispeussries are located all the
taxes herein imposed on such dispensa
ries.'1 Sec: ion 4. regarding tax on bank
siock was passe, I over I uesilay. ll was
strain taken up and Williams offered
a substitute, prepared for Hie commit

text is as follows:
"The taxes imposed fur Stale, coun
