Senator Edmunds says that
the Democratic party xrill be
compelled to renominate Mr.
Cleveland in 1888. "Compelled"
isn't the word. The Democratic

The editor of the Montezuma
(Iowa) Democrat proposes to get
a nomination for the Legislature
from the Democatic county con

make the race before the people,

greater liar.
The Baltimorean American
says on the very best authority
that the Baltimore and Ohio deal
is an accomplished fact. The
names of the participants, the
roads to be consolidated, and the
details are still kept secret. It
is also stated on the same authori
ty that the road will not pass out
of Garrett's management, and
that Jay Gould will have no hand
or voice in the new arrangement.
It is understood that this infor
mation comes direct from Gar
rett. DRDiXeBS TAX-
The Supreme court of the L'ni
ted States has decided in effect
that the tax imposed upon drum
mers by several States of the Un
ion is unconstitutional. The court
say that the United States are as
one State, and that any firm do
insr business in the Uuited States
has the right to solicit orders in
any part of the Union without
the imposition of a State tax.
They say that if the power to im
pose a tax upon a citizen of ano
ther State is once granted to a
State, then that State has it in
its power to make the tax so high
as to amount to an absolute pro
hibition. We do not pretend to
say, like some of our brethren of
the press, that "we told you so";
but we do say that after a careful
perusal of the decision of the
court, that we can readily see
that the imposition of this tax is
an injustice and a violation of
the spirit, at least, of the consti
tution. To congress alone is del
egated the power to regulate com
merce between the several States.
To tax an agent for soliciting or
ders is not only a regulation, but
a restriction which may amount
to a prohibition.
This decision differs somewhat
from one rendered by our own
Supreme court. They decided
to allow a rebate to merchants
living and doing businesses in
this State in their purchase tax
to the amount of their drummer's
tax, when a like privilege was
not granted to a firm living out
of the State was not unconstitu
tional. This decision was in ef
fect that we might tax drummers
for houses out of the State, but
that we need not tax those doing
business for those in the State.
The Supreme court of the United
States decides that we may, if we
want to do so, tax drummers for
our own business houses, but we
must not tax drummers for hous
es not doing business in the State.
There seems to be some differ
ence between these two decis
ions. We believe it to be a good pol
icy not to permit a State to im
pose a tax for the privilege of
exposing samples to sale. Let
all the United States be as one
State and let any citizen thereof
cross State lines and expose his
wares for sale without tax and
without restriction.
THE BIREAI'OFSTATISTHS.
The Bureau of Statistics which
was establis hed by the legisla
ture at its recent session is a new
departure, a ad we hope can be
made of considerable benefit to
the working people of the State.
The duties of the Bureau as we
understand them, are to place
before the people of North Car
olina figures relating to their
wages, labor condition, etc., and
the relation of capital to labor
in the State. What labor and
capital most need here in the
State and elsewhere is to under
stand each other, then reason and
not prejudice and passion will
rule. There has been compara
tively little trouble in this State
between labor and capital because
there has teen no occasion for
trouble. O ir people for the most
part are an agriculral people.
The landlo rds have made very
little money. The fact of the
business is the tenants have made
more money than the landlords,
and it may be said that in no de
partment of work have great for
tunes been amassed. The work
ing people of the State are as
well paid generally as the busi
iness they are engaged in will
justify. There are exceptions no
doubt, but this is generally the
fact. To place the facts before
the people will be of present and j
future good. These figures ought j
not to be manipulated by anybo
dy. The man who does it ought
to be a level-headed man. He
ought to be able to sympathize
with the la bor side and he ought
also to see the other side too.
The figures ought not to be one
sided. They ought to be placed
before the public in a fair and
J J ;
of Statistics as at present insti- j
tuted will do this. We are well .
acquainted with Commissioner j
Jones, and we have no hesitation .
in saying that or. Scales coma
not have made a better appoint- ;
u n Mm Z .fW :
vt., - , i
dav, and rf.t tied type into a prin-
ter's stick with the present Com
missioner. We know his antece
dents and vre know the
man. !
Starting a poor boy, by his own
exertions lie has qualified him-
self to stand among the first
young men of the State ; and if
there is a man in the State who
. m- - ' " ,
to be a leader of the workingmen them TJje appoilltmeilt of Com.
of the Stale more than the pres- i miioner jOBM is the most cou.
ent Commiisionerwe do not know spieuous tecogBlUon of the work
who he is. Ye know that some , le of the gtate in our
oDjecnons 10 tne appointment 01
Commissioner Jones have been
made because he is a lawyer.
There migM be some sense in the
objection if Mr. Jones had noth- :
i j m -i xl
mg eise to commena mm, out
the fact that he is a lawyer ; but
j when a man is put forward who
has the credentials that the ap
i pointee of the Governor has in
this instance that objection be
comes ridiculous in every honest
man's mind. It is simolv saving1

makes attainments in life he can
not represent the working men.
As a work ngman and in behalf
t
m 1 m j -m ;
of workingmen, we reject and
despise and spit
upon such an
idea, Ave care not from what
source it comes. Such an idea
may be a good one for an igno
rant and prejudiced man, but it
will not commend itself to any
honest worki ngman in North
Carolina.
Ve notice that the Si anal and
other Republican papers have
been much exercised over the ap-
poiiitmentof Conimissioirr Jones
because he; is a lawver. Thev do I

They seek to array the prejudice i
of the working people of the I
State against the Democratic
party. They have run the negro
so long through Ms prejudice
that they now hope to run the
white working people of the
State in ti e same way. What do
the leaders of the Republican
party care for the working people
of the Sate ? They most of
of them, never willingly did an
honest days work in their lives,
and yet they are seeking to ad
vise the working people of the
State as to who should be honor-
ed among them, and who should
not be. The leaders of the Re
publican party can be found in
the lodges of the Knights of La
bor in all parts of the State. Of
course they are not there for po
litical purposes, not they. They
are too unselfish for that. They
are only there for the " good of
the order." They have gone into
the order as disinterested advis
ers, and they are making the
most of their opportunities.
We remember in the last cam
paign that in the county of Wake
two lawyers were put upon the
Democratic Legislative ticket,
and quite a hue and cry was rais
ed because the lawyers got every
thing and the workingmen were
not recognized. One of the law
yers had been put upon the ticket
very much against his will, and
he asked the Executive Commit
tee to strike his name off the
ticket and put some mechanic
on. This was done, and a lead
ing Knight of Labor was substi
tuted. A few weeks after the
Republicans held their Conven
tion in the same county, and a
leading white mechanic and
Knight of Labor was pressed for
a place on the legislative ticket.
He was defeated in a square vote
with a negro bar-keeper. Nothing
was heard of this afterwards,
though Kniglits of Labor refuse
. admit bar-keeuers in their
order,
held it
When the election was
was found that the ne-
groes and Republicans had voted
solidly for their ticket, while
J the white Democrats were found
to be the only scratchers. The
j white Knights of Labor had been
j hoodwinked by the colored
: Knights of Iabor. It is the same
; old tale the whites may be di-
viaed, but the neirroes always
vote See a state of af-

Certainly the organization of tlie
Bureau of Statistics is not one of
opinion that could have been
made. If any man deserves to
represent the working people of
the State he does. Everv fair-

say so.
Teir. KOR.lt DISGR4C &:.
The Mormon papers are bla zing
with boundless indignation at the
conditions imposed by the Edmunds-Tucker
bill. The laws
which have heretofore been en-
' acted for the suppression of pol
ygamy have been so easily eva-

cencv of indifference. But this
one excites them so profoundly
and has caused such a volcanic
eruption of denunciation that its
efficiency is clearly evident.
There, is, moreover, one very
encouraging sign. Only a small
minority of the people of Utah
are wedded to polygamy. The
majority have always defended
the right of any man to a plu
rality of wives if he wishes them,
but for themselves they prefer
one home and one wife as its niis-

tiierefore, places before tliein tlie
alternative to take the oath of j
obedience to the laws of the
country or be deprived of certain j
( very vaiiuiuie privileges, tiiey
j take the oath without any hesita
j tion. This fact lias caused the
more saintly to vent their feel
ings in bitter reproaches and to
accuse their brethren of being:
recreant to one of the most im- '
tions of this peculiar sect.
Of course the measures which
are being put into operation
against Morinonism are heroic,
but they are not needlessly so.
If we are ever to get rid of this
cancerous growth the surgeon's
knife is a necessity. The Mor-
mo us have been insolently deli-1
ant for the last twenty years.
Their leaders have known for
they are very shrewd fanatics,
many of them that the country,
always restive under the inflic
tion of their presence, would
sooner or later devise means to
get rid of them.
Not one of us knew better than
the Mormons themselves that
their whole theory of social life
was opposed to the law of personal
and domestic virtue inculcated by
our school system, our churches
and our public institutions. Al
though a part of our Republic,
they opposed its' fundamental
principles. They have lived on
the sufferance of a people who
were too busy to give them any
attention and too indifferent to
appreciate the fact that the evil,
which would have to be met, was
growing stronger day by day.
They have been a nuisance intol
erable since their first organiza
tion in Manchester, N. Y., in 1830.
While at Kirtland, Ohio, their
two leaders set up a bank without
a charter, swindling the people
right and left, until a mob drag
ged them out of bed and tarred
and feathered them both. When
they went to Missouri they were
chased from county to county by
the exasperated populace. Such
was the popular indignation
against them in Illinois that the
city of Nauvoo, which they had
built, was cannonaded and they
were driven out at the point of
the bayonet.
Not able to live within speak
ing distance of true Ai ericans.
they fled to Salt Lake Valley.
Here the" have "greased in num-
bers, wealth and influence.
The
government has used every
fair
means to tret rid of them, but
they have held on with the grip
of a desperate determination.
At last it has become necessary
to meet fire with fire. The Ed-
! munds-Tucker measures are with
out doubt harsh, but none too
j much so to accomplish the end in
view. They simply declare that
the Mormons must obey the laws;
that polygamy is a crime and is
to be punished as such; that the
Mormon Church corporation shall
be broken up ; that children born
of any other than the first wife
are illegitimate, and that no Mor
man s-hall vote or sit on a jury
unless he is willing to take oath
to enforce the laws which prevail
: in every other part of the conn
try.
So the case stands.
It's a
