T'hk tter of redistrcting the jt&te in order to provide for an ad ditional congressman, is attracting piuch attention in the legislature, ft it proposed bj some to so district to have nine democratic congress ;nen and only one republican. Those jrho advocate bi plan favor pla jthe couutjei of Madison, "jfyq 0, Mitchejl, Vatauga, Wildes, Mhe, Yadkin and Davie in the re publican district. The democrats jn these .counties, quite naturally pbjoct to any such arrangement paying it would nojt be fair to pjce phtm in a district hopelessly repub jican in poises. It aeeris to us phut a better would be to provide or such au arrangement as would give the democrats a fighting chance ju all the districts. What we need in North Carolina i not a ? vying of a4.dipnal taxes, but the enactment and enforcement fit such laws as will insure the cor rect and accurate 1sted valuation of he property in. the State; and not this only, but to secure the listiug yfit every dollar's worth oi taxable property. This, and this only, is the remedy. To increase tuxes j.s but to increase th,e burden already weighing heavily upon the masses of " pur people bepiiujje of the jnuality ) the valuation. It is a fact that the poorer classes of our people pay more than their proportionate share of the taxes, and that thpsp wealth ier ouei am.Qijg us pay Jps, Thg tx books of every county jn tj)p State will show thousands pf 4olIurs' yqrth fit property belonging .ppur )yealth jer citizen listed at but a fraction pf its actual value, nd in many in stances much escapes Ijating alto gether. From the listed taxable must bp delved tlje income for sup plying our expenditures, and it is apparent on the face of the matter, that if this income fails in supply ing the defflmd that the needful funds can only be secured by an iu prrjiue in Jcvy or the valuation.

Umue the beading, f'A Vilp gander," the Njw !)d Qbseryer of Wednesday says, pdjtprially : Pritchard, Ifi)PPy m)4 Ppir8on telegraphed Jnstipes Fnrphpa and Douglas that the suggestion, pf their impeacljment is "for the transparent ' purpose p-packing our highest tri punal jn prdcr tq consummate and ponGrm an unconstjtitjona gpheme f disfranchisement. " This is a vile slander upcm the honorable men who have advocated jtnpeachment, mid. as gratuitous as jt is false.

It is composed of able, conservative and upright gen.Uemen who are impres sed .with the solemn responsibility that rests upon them. They are not a,ctiug hastily, but slowly, and are weighing the law and the testimony with a full seyjsa of the duty that rests upon them. .No outside, clamor not even the unworthy sugges tions of Pritchard, Pearson and Lin ney can influence them. They are men of such character, such' love pf justice and such fair mindedness that .the people may trust them to do what is right and what is just.

The New York Sun, a Republican orgau, publishes the folbswing facts about pen sions "jyhont comment," The annual pension appropriation bill now before congress carries $145,245,280. l'his is the largest appropriation on record. "The amount to be appropriated this year for pensions, 36 years after the close of the civil war, to which the enormous .charge is chiefly due, exceeds the aggregate payments on the same account during live years from 1879 to 1883 inclusive. "It -is more than double the appropri ation for 1890, eleven yers aq. 'It js morp thau double the expenditures of the Federal government, for all pur. poses, iu 1881, the first year of the civil war.

A Wonderful Offer to Women, We have received word of a most remark able offer which is to bo mado to women by The Delineator, of Nep York, Taking the fact that pcxt rear begins a pew century, The Delineator offers to distri bute $17,600 among J 901 women. Tho plan is so cleverly arranped that a woman living in a email town pr villa?o, lias just as good a chance to win ono of theso 1901 prizes as a woman living jn a city bppnuso the prizes are given for tho ptimbor of subscriptions secured in a town u proportion, to tho popu lation of that tpwn, instead pf boing given simply to thoso who nend tho largest list of Subscribers which, of coureo, aro most easily pbtaincd in big cities. Another plover feature of the plan is, that ul the cities and towns of the United States and Canada have been ar ranged in. seven classes, The pities of tho greatest population aro grouped jn Class 1, and as those cities are pot very pi:my, the prites offered are twenty teight the high? est prizo being $500, and tho lowest $5.00, The total amount of prizes given away in this class is S 1,000. The remaining smaller towns and villages fall into six other classes, and aa the number of towns in a class increases, be cause, of course, there are more small towns than largo ones, tho amount of prizes given away to a ch'iss increases, so that in Class 7, there will bo $4,000 distributed among 60J winners. Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win one of the 1901 prizes there will bo paid an extra commission on subscriptions, provided, they equal one out of every two hundred in habitants of the town from which tho com tcstant sends them. This is altogether a very liberal offer, and pne which tho famous old Delinentpr is well able to make good From our point of view, we do not see why such an offer nc6ds to bo made by the Publishers of The Dflmetor, for we believe it already has noarly half a million Bubscrfbers. Its strong hold upon the affec tions of American women has como in the past generation, from its practical advice, about dress details and home matters. DISSOLUTION. The firm of J. L.
