them. If this is arranged, they will
start June 6. a.

Bulletin Board to Serve as
Rack -StOD

The method of erecting large sign
boards as advertisements for business
houses is becoming quite popular, and
some enterpriSing merchant or real estate
dealer would find it to his advantage to-
erect large bulletin board at San Pedro,
park, next to the grand stand on the base
ball grounds. This would at the same
time serve as back.stop, and be in
one! The present back stop at the San
Pedro park is a very poor one, and there
are never less than two new balls ruined
at a game. In a game between the Post
nine and the JOkerS lately, three new
balls were required to finish the game, the
old back-StOp tearing them.

Representative McClammy, farmer

notes are to be legal tender for all
purposes except payment of interest
on the public debt. They are to be dis

The loans will bear interest at the
nominal rate of one per cent per an

be loaned to any one person, and pref

are already mortgaged, to the end
that they may take up the high inter

OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.

We have often shown by the histo-
ry of the Republican party that it has
never made one strong effort to repeal
the internal revenue taxes. They new
er intended to do it, and they do not
intend to do it now. The several bills
which have been introduced by
Statesmen" like Mr. Brewer found
no support from the Republican lead
ers. They were simply intended to
deceive the people.
The truth of it is that the radicals
need all the money that is raised by
the internal revenue to pay the enor-
nous pensions, and they never mean
to repeal the burdensome internal
revenue laws until every yankee who
ever toted gun is drawing a snug
little income from Uncle Sans pock-
et-book.
We don't ask our readers to take
Democratic authority for this state
ment, but to judge the Republican
party out of the mouths of its own
leaders.
A few days ago Congressman Hen
derson, Of Iowa, a Republican, said.
in the House of Congress. II believe
that the tax ON tobacco is one of the
most popular taxes now existing in
this country"
He had scarcely uttered the words
before Congressman Cowles, a Demo-
crat, from North Carolina, tackled
him and the following is the way the
Congressional Record reports the dia.
logue:
"Mr. Cowles: l want to ask the
gentleman a question. Was he not a
member of the Committee on Appro-
priations in the last Congress, and re-
ported a bill and filed report abol-
ishing the entire tobacco tax, did he
not? applause on the Democratic
side.)
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa: Yes; the
committee did, and if the Democracy
were in control of this Congress I
would vote to repeal the entire inter
nal revenue duties, knowing perfectly
well that if the Democracy were in
power they would never give one
needed dollar to pension the soldiers
of the Republic, and we propose in
this Congress to give them fifty MIL
lions. Loud applause on the Repub-
iicanside J. AS long as the soldiers
of this Union are appealing to Con-
gress for relief and for justice, to be
taking offthe tax on tobacco while
these and other important demands
are pressing upon us, is something
that !, for one, can not acquiesce in.

tleman again.

AN uMANswERABLE ARGUMENT.
From the State Chronicle

From the State Chronicle
In 1880 the bonded debt in North
Corolina was $15, 552,045. In 1890
it is sS,138,771.25-a decrease of ST.
$50, 273.95.
This is an argument for Democratic
rule that is unanswerable, and one
that appeals to the pockets of all pa.
triotlc citizens. The Democrats have
given to North Carolina in the past
twenty years the cheapest and most
efficient State government than any
State in the Union has had. 1t has
settled the State debt on such basis
as to save to the tax payers of the State
half a hundred million dollars a year
since it has been in power.

LATE WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June e.
Senators Sherman and Allison are at
logger heads over the crazy quilt
hodge podge known as the Mckinley
tariff bill, and Senator Allison is re-
ported to be preparing speech to be
delivered against the bill on the floor
of the Senate, shoul,l he fail, as now
seems probable, to carry his point in
the Finance Committee. In the
meantime the party leaders seem to
have gotten the whi,, hand OF the
kickers, certainly so far rs the Repub-
licans of the committee are concerned,
and the majority of the committee
are working like beavers to get
through with the bill, and up to date
they have made no changes of impor-
lance. Some Republicans say the
,! bill will be reported in a week, but it
is more probable that it will take four
weeks to get through, allowing that
harmony continues in the committee,
which is by no means certain.

patience is exhausted, and finding it
impossible, for the time being at least
to abolish the system which has OPP
pressed and despoiled the greatest in

icy, which they have heretofore de-
nounced as unjust and ruinous shall
be applied to them, or rather part of
