THE TOBACCO TAX.
Southern Republicans Determined to
Secure Repeal of the Tax.
(From n Y, Herald


(From n. Y. Herald)
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9-Now
that Speaker Reed has shown his deter
mination not to recognize any member
OF the minority for the purpose of NOV
ing the repeal of the tobacco tax,
movement is taking shape among the
Southern Republican Uongressmeii to
force the issne when the Mckinley bill
comes before the House. The two re
publlcsus from Virginia and the three
from North Carolina are pledged to this
measure, and will stand by it regardless
Of party pressure. One Of the most
prominent of these members said
Tonight:
''We are quietly talking the matter
over, and We propose 10 soiil!ify the re-
publican members from Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky in
favor 0: this cour,c. Coleman of LOUIS
lana will probably act with u, and per
hap5 some Of the MARY land republicans.
With his strength added 10 the demo
cratic vote CT the House we should be
able IL amend the Mckinney bill by the
addition Of clause repes ing this tax
which is 30 obnoxious to our reople To
| bacco is no longer a luxury; it is virtual
! ly one of the necessities, owing TO its
universal use, and the poor people of the
country should have the chance to buy
1t as cheaply as possible"

Without asking the advice OF Speak
er Reed or Mr.. Brewer, l beg leave to
call the attention of your readers to the
number Of pension bills which passed
the House and otherwise adorn the pages
OF the Congressional Record on last
Monday, when the North Carolina and
Virginia Democrats were working to di-
mlnlsh the taxes on cur people. The
list is too long for me TO attempt to re-
produce. But these pension bills to.
gether with the large general
pension bill then under consideration
would be good campaign matter in North
Carolina at the next election.

THE SALEM ORCHESTRA.

(From Greensboro North Statel
For a hundred years Salem has Guilt
vated in its people the love and talent
for music until now, among the more
cultivated, it is an inheritance, natural
endowment, and lis developments by
careful training and culture have been
brought to a high state of excellence.
Drilled and instructed by the very best
talent procurable, there has been trained
up a company of musicians whom an
inborn talent for music, a real love of
the art, careful study of the theory
and thorough drill in the technics of the
art, have made genuine artists
The orchestra, as at present composed,
contains 20 members, eaca gifted in his
own particular line and especially skilled
on his own particular sort of instru-
ment.
The orchestra has had several most
excellent and painstaking instructors
during the past few years, oftentimes at
great expense, having in one case en-
ployed leading member of one of New
York's best orchestras to give them sys-
leLndtlc luSCFuctlOU anu Uflil.
1t will be of interest TO the music
| loving people of Greensboro to learn that
a halt dozen of the most accomplished
lady musicians of Salem have been in
duced to accompany the orchestr: to
Greensboro on the 18th inst, and will
thus dOubly add to the attractions of
the programme. The ladies are Mrs.
Il. Fries, 'Salem's favorite songstress, 3"

THAT HOTEL MATTER.
Kaleigh's Pressing Necessity Suggested
Again.

The CHRONICLE has already suggested
the necessity of additional hotel facill-
ties for Raleigh. The suggestion was
not necessary to make the matter ap-
parent to Raleigh's people. Now, if
anybody wants to know why that hotel
is needed, just let them think Of the
following facts for the present, and
other facts will be presented further
on:
1t is very probable that the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern railroad will be
completed before next winter. If lit is,
Raleigh will find itself on the most di-
rect, and therefore the most popular
line from North and South.
As the winter months come on, there
is a great exodus of people from the
Northern to the Southern States. Nat
ually, they will go by the shortest line
They never fail to stop at places which
offer adequate and elegant hotel accomo
dations. They like to see the country
on route, and stop to look around. FIRE.
quently they stop at place with the
intention of spending a day, become
impressed with it, and just keep on
staying there. This class Of people
demand the finest hotel accommoda-
tions that can be provided. They don t
want to walk up stairs. They want ele-
vators. In fact, they want the earth,
almost, but they are able and willing to
pay for it. They usually won't lcok at
hotel unless it can provide attractions,
conveniences and accommodations that
are worth five dollars day, and they
will pay that amount day after day fol
what they like
Just see how they flock to Asheville,
because of the great and magnificent
hotels there. The hotel at Klttrells is
full Of 'em every winter, because they
like the hotel there.
Raleigh can stop them and hold them
by providing grand hotel, aud while
they stop they make money circulate
like whirlwind. Now, what will yor
, do with it

The Proper Way to Hang Gates.
ICor. OF the STATE CHRONICLE.1

Cor. or the STATE CHRONICLE.
VIII you please allow me to call
the attention Of the Board Of Aldermen
to much needed reform in the manner
of hanging gates in this city,
| notice that in most sections of the
city gates are fixed so as to open to-
ward the street. This is nothing short
of ''relic of barbar!sm, Ii you take
stroll you viii find at least one-third
of these gates standing open, obstruct-
ing the passage Of pedestrians, especial
ly where the sidewalks are narrow.
Two or more persons walking abreast
must break ranks or close the
gates as they pass. The lighting ca
pacity Ct the city is insufficient for the
territory to be lighted, and for this reason
the sidewalks should be clear. The
city fathers should order all gates to be
changed to open from the street l
doubt if this nuisance exists in any
other important town or city IN the
State. I know that the authorities of
towns in remote sections, where it is
hardly known that the war is over,
have long since put stop to this old
fashioned way of hanging gates. Ii
We're prospecting, would never invest
money in town so much behind the
times. This is an inexpensive reform,
and no doubt the intelligent people oi
the city will cheerfully conform 20 the
wishes Of the authorities.
CITIZEN.
The CHRONICLE IS of the opinion
that the Chamber Of Commerce passed
a resolution some time since, request
ing the board Of aldermen to look after
this matter, but SO far nothing has beer
/ done
