Trade Review.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-R. G. Dun
& Co., in their weekly review, say :
Iron is perceptibly sustained in
price for the time by the enforced
curtailment of production, but the
feeling prevails that resumption of
work in the local mines may be fol-
flowed by lower prices of iron. In
all branches of this great industry
the decrease in railroad demand is
felt.
A better tone in the steel market
has been observed within two days,
but the business is still mainly left
to spectators. and the inability of
promoters to place securities may re-
tard new railway building for some
time to come, though current reports
still show large gross earnings. The
storms, the strikes, and the recent
dsagreements about rates may be
felt little later.
There is q better movement in
wool but quotations average little
lower. Cotton Is unchanged, while
prices of many makes of bleached
and brown goods and fancy prints
have been advanced, and print cloths
are quoted at 1894 for Gas. The boot
and shoe business is fairly active,
with shipments exceeding last year,
and prices of almost all kinds of
leather faYoring buyers.

Negroes Anxious to Emigrate.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 29.-The pro-
posed exodus of of the negroes from
the United States to the Argentine
Republic and other South American
States has caused much comment
among the colored race in this region,
William j. Smith, a wealthy colored
man of Topeka, who has just return
ed from the Argentine Republic, said
to-day
81 am perfectly satisfied with the
outlook for our race in the regions
just seen by myself and my compan-
ions. The Government of the Ar
gentine Republic has made US the
most flattering propositions in regard
to franchises ana assistance in the
way of lands and immunity from
taxation for long period of years.
All the arrangements have now been
made and all the plans are perfected
for the movement. l expect that
when spring opens at least 100000
people of my race will have all their
arrangements made to start.

Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, one of the
leading Republicans of Maryland,
was one of the arrivals at the st.
James Hotel last night. Mr.. Lown-
des, though yet comparatively
young man, is one of the best posted
men in that section of the South, and
has for many years occupied prom
inent place in the councils of his
party on both local and national ques-
tions. Mr.. Lowndes said last night
that while the chances of a Republic
can victory in his State were by no
means brilliant he thought they
would come nearer to it next fall
than they have for a number of years.
81 Think" he added, 1--WE made a
mistake last fall in practically giving

Disguised Settlers.

RICHMOND, VA, Jan. 30.-"It's an
i'll wind that blows nobody good"
remarked Virginia legislator when
he heard report Of the State Com
missioner of Agriculture read in the
General assembly on Saturday. The
latter official who succeeded to this
Office on the first of the present
month, says that since then he has
read large number of letters from
people outside of Virginia making
inquiries for homes here. The letters
come especially from the great north
western section of the Union, where
an icy blizzard has recently played
such sad haYOc.
Most of them ask for reports, MAPS
and statistical information in regard
to agricultural, industrial, manufac-
turing and mining interests of Vir-
ginia, The Commissioner adds !:
These inquiries come from Ameri-
can-born citizens of the now frozen
Northwest, men with means and
families seeking homes singly and
in companies, and being satisfied
that the vicissitudes of climate in the
Northwest will drive and is driving
the better part of the population of
that section South, and that this class
of settlers is greatly needed in Vir-
ginia. l make this report that your
body may take any action you deem
proper in the premises.
The report was referred to the
Committee on Agriculture, and it is
believed, if the advantages of the
State can be fairly advertised. that
immigration will not only beattract-
ed from the Northwest, but can be
diverted here from Europe.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN Some of
our statesmen appear great deal ex-
ercised over the question what ought
to be done with the surplus revenue
now in the National Treasury-about
$55,OOO.OOO. They appear to believe,
or affect to believe, that it is source
of great national evil. They are
ready to trace any little imagined
disorder in our national economy to
this fact, though the present surplus
is much smaller than in times past,
when it was regarded by all reason.
able people as proof of high prosperity
and real wealth, and which no other
nation on earth could lay claim to.
These melancholy statesmen act and
talk as though their country did not
have a creditor in the world. Is this
SO? Not by any means. 1t is true
1t is not pressed or in default, but
there are obligations of many mill

which ought to be met at once. Most
prominent among them are the pen
sion arrearages due the old soldiers
of the late war, their widows, minor
children and dependent parents.
At the beginning of the war, to in
duce and stimulate enlistments, Con-
gress passed laws offering bounties to
volunteers, and also pensions to all
who might be wounded in the SER
vice, as we'll as the widows and de-
pendent relatives who might fall in
defence of their country. These pen
sion laws are absolute on their face,
without any conditions. and promise
to protect all who properly come
within their provisions. More than
two million soldiers entered our
armies under these laws, and no one
can now say how many of these pa
triots would have remained at home
had not these assurances been given.
They were the very essence of the con-
tract of enlistment between the SOL
der and their government. The
promised pension formed the consid.
Grafton In such contract, and thus
became vested rights of the soldiers,
and an irrevokable obligation on the
part of the government. The con-
stitution forbids the states from pas
sing any law impairing the obligation
of contract or vested right. Can
Congress pass such law? Surely
they ought not.
There was nothing in these original
pension laws requiring claimants to
file their claims by or within any
given time. The sharpest and more
intelligent ofthese benefiiciaries came
forward, promptly demanded and

Legislative Notes.

Nonew local bills for Garrett county
have been introduced since our last
issue. A number of those already
noted have been advanced, and two
or three have passed both houses and
only await the signature of the Gov
ernor to become laws.
Senator Browning arrived at his
home in Oakland Friday evening of
last week, quite unwelI, but so far re-
covered that he returned to Annapo-
lis Wednesday morning. Mr.. Ped
dlcord, clerk to the committee of
which Mr.. Browning is chairman,
came home Saturday night and left
for Annapolis Monday morning.
In the Senate Tuesday Commit
tee on Temperance was announced
with Mr.. Browning as chairman.
Petitions were largely signed in
Oakland this week protesting against
the bills reducing the fees of States
Attorney and Sheriff. These petitions
were signed by about all the promi-
nent men of both political parties in
Oakland. They are generally of the
opinion that if these bills should be
come laws, the spirit if not the letter
of the constitution, which provides
that the salary or compensation of
officers shall not be increased or d.
minished during their term of SER
vice, would be violated.
The bill for the appointment of a
treasurer for this county, meets with
general disapprobation, especially
that provision which requires every
tax payer to come to Oakland to pay
his or her taxes.
The bill for the appointment of
school commissioners by the Cover
nor, also meets with disfavor. The
feeling is general with we'll informed
people that the present excellent
Board should remain. at least, until
certain financial matters are settled.

execution of criminals convicted of

to the legislature of that state now in

is the killing of the doomed culprits

painless.

there is cause of complaint against
each as to the tax itself, but far more
as to the method of collection against
the revenue taxes. So great oiense
has this system given to the people
of North Carolina that they have
again and again, through their ac-
credited political agencies, demanded
its total repeal. Now, why should
not this tax he repealed? The emer-
gency which called it into existence
has long since passed away.
