er what would be the relative position
OF the Southern white man aud the

SIS The State of North Carolina lie.
be to be sued upon the Special Tax
Bonds?"
IL seems to US the Signal works
harder to slip around and avoid an is
sue than to answer it. Referring to
our article under the above caption.
the Signal says: "tht Mr. Temple,
the plaintiff. is a lite long Democrat
an Office holder"
Granted. We do not care what his
politics may be. We have no com.
plant against Mr.. Temple Oh account
OF bringing this suit We suppose lie
does so for the purpose Of collecting
some Of these bonds that were given
to him, as the Signal says. This be
may Shave a right to do. But the
point we made in the article referred
tt is this: "But for the advent Of Ra
dicalism in N. C there would have
been no Special Tax Bonds, and but
for the Democracy, we would have
had these fraudulent bonds to pay"
Answer this Mr.. Harris.

The Proposed Tariff Bill.

The best information we have OF the
measure is, that it will make Wool
free, Salt will be free. Sugar will be
reduced from 20 to Is per cent. The
common Wool goods, such as blankets
wool hats, common woollen goods
&c., will be free. The fine grades
such as Brosd-cloih, fine Cassimeres
&C., will remain as it ID. In addition
10 this the bill takes the tax of To-
bacco except on Cigarettes and Ci-
gars. This will do away with the
Lsrdships now imposed upon the
growers in prohibiting them from
selling to any person bnt q licsnse
dealer. Ia short the grower would
be relieved from government espoin-
age. The bill also, tskes the tax from
fruit Brandy. Wbiskey and Beer to
remain as il ia.
The above is tue text of the bill
now before the Committee Of Wages
snd Means and favored by the Demo.
Gratis Oh that Committee. We hope
it may pass as it il, but It Is by nc
means certain that IL will do SO.

How do the People regard the Admin.
ist.ation Of CleYeland2

We have seen with much pleasure
the responses to the above enquiry
made in the State "Chronicls," lasl
week. From well known men in eve
ry county in the State comes the an
swer: swell done good and faithful
servant enter into another term
We believe if the "Ghronicle" would
send the same enquiry to every intel
ligent and unrrejudiced Republican
10 the State, the same answers would
be returned. ~ -
TO say that Cleyeland's ADMINISTERS
tion has been honest, just, fair, wise,
vigorous, fearless, patriotic national
and unsectional is but repeating what
every intelligent and reading man in
the country fully admits
This great man, then, is to be the
standard bearer of the Democracy in
the next campaign for the Presiden.
cy. Ills nomination is beyond ques
tion. 1t will be made By acclamation.
His election we are hopeful and san
guine to degree never before exPe-
rience& The superior wisdom aud
virtue of the American people will
once more be equal to the great oc.
casion. This gifted and fearless man
will once more be elevated to the high
Office of President.
From the actions of the most pro-
nounced Republicans, from the letter
OF Judge Settle declining the nomina-
ton for the vice Presidency, the most
unpretending map may see the hand
writing on the wall. When the Plum
ed knight thrust aside the glittering
prize for which be had contended for
more than 20 years. it may be clearly
seen that bis declination was based
solely upon the grounds of certain
defeat.
The Democrats can be hopeful. and
to . degree, certain of success. But
by no means should they relax sin
gle effort, or fail to secure q single
advantage honestly obtained. They
should be earnest and active, vigilanI
and prudent for
rEternal vigilance is the price of Ii
bsrty."
For his ability and industry Mr
JOsephus Daniels, Editor of th'
"Chronicle" deserves well of his conn
try-men and in due time will be re-
wsrded bya grateful people.

Ma. EDlroR: II the Congress now
in session will abolish the Internal
Revenue law entirely and let any bo,
dy who may wish to, make liquor, and
list the same to the tax lister which
liquor tax TO gointo our School fund,
il will do the right thing. What use
has the Federal government got for
the liqnor tax, when there is now in
the treasury more than one hundred
million OF surplus, and by June will be

Yes, liquor should be taxed, it can
well afford to pay tax, but by all

To the Editor Of The Erening World:
Mr.. Luganovit's proposition in last nights
EVENING WORLD is the first proposition 7
have seen for e positive remedy against the
Trust evil. Legal restrictions are all easily
circumvented. For instance, should the law
prohibit the present owners to combine, they
could form u joint-stock concern, and each
owner or set of owners could sell Their refin-
cries to themselves-that is, to the new com-
panv-in the same way the owners of the
Reading road circumvent the laws now ON
the statutes in Pennsylvania prohibiting rail-
road companies from engaging in mining.
The same persons simply form a mining COM
pany, and so the only difference is one of
form and name. Mr.. LIS PROPOSE
ton is that the people themselves are
to manage and own the institutions
necessary to their common welfare. All such
business is really public business. and there
fore the proper sphere of the public organi-
zation, and that is the government. All the
usual objections to this bear q hundredfold
stronger against the class monopoly system
now existing. Other objections are we'll an
swered by Mayor Hewitt in his message
where he says There are no such things as
vested rights which can interfere with the
power of the community to do those things
which are essential for its growth, its safety
and its progress of civilization" Let us
then have q United States sugar refinery sys-
tenn. as we'll as O municipal, State or Unitej
States system of every industry that is oor-
respondingly necessary and monopolized.

A NICE STATE OF THINGS.

Here's q state OF thipgs, now. In this land OF the free,
Where the people are reckoned the rulers to be,
When q few men with money to the rest Of us say,
''If you want any sugar our price you must pay,
For we've got up O trust and bought the whole
lot,
And the rest OF the people may all 60 to pot"
So the day will soon be here / really opino
When none but the rich can say = Sugar In mine.'
Here's 0 nice state OF thugs In this land Of the free,
When a few moneyed men say to you and to me,
~ We've got up n . trust now In kerosene oil,
And all you low fellows who labor and toll
Must buy 1t OF us, and pay us our price,
Or go In the dark, ike the rats and the mice"
so IN most Of our homes soon, l really opine,
The old ~ taller dip, :" or nothing, Will shine.
Here's a nice state OF things, l really must say,
When greedy monopolies carry the day,
And lock LIES necessities, pocket the key,
And say, &C without, or else buy of me-"
But the "trusts" keep increasing in numbers al
way,
And the path OF the poor man grows rougher each
day.
The next thing may DO matrimonial ''trusts,"
When to wed we must - see " them aud ''down
with the dust"
But there's ominous mutterings over the land,
And the wings OF our eagle begin TO expand;
There's a look In his eye that bodeth no good
To the harpies who gamble in poor Poop els food.
For this Is u land for the poor and oppressed,
Where the true honest toiler Is as good ss the rest,
And each hated ''trust" will die very dead
