Which Can be Obtained.
To the Editor StqtesyiAe Landmark.
RALEIGH, n. c., Dec. II, 1887.
"A large majority of the people of
North Carolina desire the absolute re-
peal of all national excise laws they
want to see the internal revenue sys-
tenn cut up by the roots. At the
same time almost all of us have dis
cernment enough to realize that, in
the present temper of the people of the
States, this is out of the question. Ad
vocates of total repeal may be found
in both parties, but they are for the
present in a hopeless minority, in the
country at large. IF for no other rea-
son, the Republican dread of its pro-
hibition wing would effeetually pre-
vent it from fa7oriug the repeal Of
the tax on whiskey and the desire
among Democrats to make reductions
II the tariff, so peratively demand
ed by the business interests Of the
country, vii cause the tax on whiszey
to be retained. Can anything, then,
. 6a done to relieve Us from tie evils
which seem 70 b ,nseperab!e from tae
execution OF the internal revenue
laws Much. Ia the Erst plaee, the
tax oa tobacco can b. absolutely re-
pealed. Tobacco, t. its millions of
consumers is not luxury; II is one

PATRIOTISM IN GUILFoRD.
The e-Good Work of the Guilford Battle
Ground Company.

We are indebted TO Hon. David
Scheacll for g handsome IS page pam
phlot containing his report as Pre5i-
dent Of the Guilford Z tie Grou d
Company. giving aaccircs account of
the ineor poration Of the company by
the legislature, Its organization under
the charter, May 9Th. 1887, together
with all the transactions Of the compa-
ny to the present time, the whole
showing the laudable design had in
view, of preserving and adorning the
ground on and over which the battle
OF Guiiford Court House was fought
on the 9TH day Of March. 1881, aud
the erection thereon of monuments or
other memorials to commemorate
the American patriots who participa-
led in this battle for liberty and indie
pendenee . The report made in this
pamphlet was rendered to the Board
of Directors at a meeting held in this
city on November 14th, 1887, and be-
ing approved by said board, one thou
sand copies were ordered to
be printed. Judge Schenck and his
associates in this enterprise deserve
hearty commendation for their efforts
to consecrate, and to perpetuate in
history and in memory, the scene of
one of the most important battles of
the Revolutionary, and the names OF
the brave, patriotic men, who so gall
lantly confronted the British forces
under CORVALLIS on the 10Th day of
March, 1871. The company have al
ready secured valuable property in
the shape Of grounds which have been
greatly improved by the erection of a
handsome cottage and other adorn-
ments, to which have been added a
handsome engraving of General
Greene, and a picture representing the
battle field and the position of the re-
spective forces, painted by Mrs. Cobb,
OF Ilncolnton, museum of battle
field relics, and few rare Indian rel
les found on the grounds. These are
found in the cottage built on the
grounds. For an account of the mon

Backward across the table the old
man fell Downward hung his head
and his limp fingers rested upon the
floor, and then he did not move.
Into the open window howls the
storm. Round and round the room
whirls the bonds and deeds and titles !;
round and round in a mad, wild
dance. Like ghosts they chase each
other and rustic the broken bough
that lies upon the floor. They tinkle
the shivered glass and futter their
Under the table they whirl and up
over the silent form stitfening in the
night. They dance about the long,
lean fingers and beat the white face
that is turned up toward the moon
light. Into those fixed eyes the moon
looked sadly down and its beams
touched the wall near him with a
spectral line oflight. And presently
the snow beat in and the mist. And
the gray dawn found him there.
Merrily the Christmas chimes ring
out in the winters morning carolling
peace to a million homes, and millions
of listening hearts beat fuller to day
for gladness. Childish faces are bright
with glee, and the lines of age are
softer for some dear hearts remember
ancc. Bright is the world to-day.
Only here and there dwarfed soul,
like a cold blooded toad, draws back
from the sunshine into icy caves of
selfshness But the face Of the world
is bright. And as its heart swells
with happiness bestowed, it realizes
that life may reap a richer harvest
thar hordes of yellow gold. For freed
from. the hands of bigot men, the spir-
it of . soul thrills the world to-day,
bearing far up towards heaven human
hearts upon the mighty wings of love.

are 50 lirGed III extent, there can be
no very large diminutlon Of the reve-
nue. received from whiskey by reduc-
ing the tax on brandy.
Thirdly, some of the oppressive fea-
lures of the internal revenue laws can
be rcmedied. The minimum punish
ment ought to be left to the discretion
Of the Judge presiding, and he should
not be compelled to sentence every
man to at least sixty days imprison-
ment, thirty of which are to qualify
the prisoner to take the oath of an in-
solvent. The law permitting an in
discriminate destruction of personal
property seized by revenue officers
might well be so modified as to require
the order of judicial officer or some
Judgment of condemnation.
| And, fourthly, the greatest of allre-
lorms in this direction ought to lie
within the easy reach Of combined ef-
fort upon the part Of he North Caro-.
lima delegation Let the number Of
United States commissioners and dep
uty marshals be reduced, aud let them
