EDENTON, APRIL Is, 1890.

THE FISHERMAN & FARMER has
long been an agitator Of an ice fac
tory in Edenton and we are happy
10 state that the prospects for fac,
tory now grows brighter. Some O
our citizens, approaching the sug-
gestions of the FISHERMEN & FARM
kR, from time to time, to the affect
that Edenton, Of all other places in
Eastern Carolina, was THE point for
making and selling ice, having fully
discussed the matter are now pretty
well settled in their conclusions.
Mr.. Jno. M. Jones, one of our most
wide awake citizens, has been, for sew
eral days past, discussing the necessi-
ty Of plant in this place, and he
assures us that he has met with great
success. The lot upon which to
build and the wood for running the
machinery has been promised and
will be given to the company as soon
as it is incorporated. Besides this
sufficient number of our people have
promised to invest in this enterprise
to enable it to be started at an early
date. That it will pay, as we have
heretofore said, is almost certain. No
one can otherwise conclude who will
consider the quantity necessarily
used. every season, by the fishermen
along the Albemarle. Chowan and
Roanoke sections. Thousands of
tons are annually consumed by people
who are, at present, and who have
been for years past almost entirely
dependant upon Boston and other
markets for their supply. Think of
the cost of ice bought in Boston and
Transported here. and then add, to
the price of purchase and the charge
for transportation, the loss sustained
by melting while in transit and at
the time Of delivering; add to AL this
the loss sustained by reason ofimper-
feet houses in which our people are
forced to keep it, and then ask your
selves the question not ice be
made here and sold, though at a
profit, for less than it cost our fisher
men year after year? If it can, then be
assured that every fisherman in our
section from the Meherrin river to
the sound and on either side of the
sound as far down as the Pasquotank
river will patronize factory estab-
lished at Edenton. Not only so. but
the ice used in all the surrounding
country during the entire year would
be purchased right here.
We therefore hope that ali Of our
fishermen and business men will give
this undertaking some thought as
the list for subscribers will be presen
ted to them in few days. 1t is an
enterprise that should receive the
encouragement of every good citizen,
and as it is desired to get as many
interested i'll it as possible We trust
that stock will be taken literally when
the list is presented. Let's have the
factory BY all means.

THE negroes Of Guilford county
are mad and kicking. Over three
hundred Of them met last week at
Greensboro and formally denounced
the Harrison administration in gen
eraal and Congressman Brewer in
particular. The cause of offence IS
that they have been passed BY, receiv-
ing no recognition for their long and
constant support of the party leaders
They declare that the leaders whom
they have followed through evil as
well as good report" they will know
no more forever.
The speeches were earnest and for
the most part free from passion or
offensive language. An executive
committee for each township was ap-
pointed. with instructions to organ
ize and work with view Of defeat
ing at the next election the present
incumbent of the Republican party.
The policy SO far as could be deter
mined is for the negroes to remain
at home and let the white Republi-
cans do their own voting.
The resignation Of Prince Bis
mark, Germany's Iron Chancellor"
is only another blow to An aristocra
tic form of government to one-man
pawer. While he welded the petty
states together making one vast EN-
pire and gave to Germany the power
which she to-day has, his resignation
by no means indicates the SCATTERING
of a nation. ItmeanS that the WILL
of the people must and will rule,
and time is not for distant when the
crowns that now but adOrn the fig
ure heads OF the nations will become
the fOOt-stOols of the people.
The young Emperor William saw
that the will Of the people must be
or that. OH the death or
resignation of the Chancellor, the

QUITE A DIFFERENCE

Between the Tax Value and the Selling
Value of Some Real Estate-A Scheme
to Help out the Assessors-Only an In
stance.
Messrs. Sebert, Rowley and Murray, of
the County Commissioner Office, are en-
gagged on 4 work that will commend itself
to the appreciation of all lovers of fair deal
ing. 1t is a compilation of all the sales re-
ported in city and county, and will be
furnished to the assessors OF each district, to
guide them in making assessments, and be cor
rective of the gross abuses that characterized
the last triennial valuation.
There is one little borough across the Yough
from Mckeesport whore the people pay fair
amount of taxation. their property being
valued we'll up to what it would sell for, while,
as if to show up inequality in the grossest
shape, property in McKcesport Is valued
| ridiculously low. tits said that the valuation
is probably one-sixth of the price owners would
be willing TO take for it, and the public
spirited portion of the town is ashamed of the
showing the big borough makes.
1t is said what ought TO be good
authority, and on authority that will
not likely be disputed, that at least ST.
OOO.0C0 worth of property in Stone township
escapes taxation entirely, and it is the rule
rather than the exception that lots in some
small boroughs are valued at SIS to 500 by the
assessors. and at $500 to $500 by the owners
when they are asked to sell. 1t may
price the City Poor Farm was sold,
to know that equally as good farm land in
sight of the Home is taxed at so an acre, but
such is said to be the case. 1t is not contended
that these farms are worth as much as the City
Farm per acre. but there isn't by many degrees
the difference between the assessors figures
and those of Black & Baird.
1t can be shown that in some places on soils
of equal fertility one farm will be assessed
from 20 TO so per cent higher per acre, buildings
excluded. than another lying nearer a railway
station. Such pig-headedness aslthis requires
no comment.
A weak-headed assessor and quarrelsome,
domineering, purse-proud taxable sometimes
effect queer combinations, some of which
might be specified and names gwen. Fer in
stance, there is man who OWES 40 acres of
land in a certain locality, but it IS returned by
the assessor at II acres. One who knows better
said to the assessor: You know that - has
40 acres there"
"Yes, know he has, but he insists that he
has but u an d ! don't know that l have any
authority TO hire a surveyor to measure it."

DISCUSSING THE RINGERS,
The Board OF Appeals Have Few Interes
ing Cases Before Them.

The Board OF Appeals Have Few Interest
ing Cases Before Them.
CHICAGO. Dec. S-The Board of Appeals of
the National Trotting Association met again
this morning. The first protest considered was
that against Benjamin c. Stanley and Samuel
Hcwey, of the Minnesota Association of Trot-
ting and Pacific Horse Breeders. These gen.
tlemen are charged with violating rule 25 Of
the association, which reads as follows:
"As many horses may be entered by one
party or as many horses trained in the same
stas'" as desired, but only one that has been
owned or controlled wholly or partly by the
same person or persons. or trained in the same
stable within ten DAYS preceding the race, can
start in any race of heats"
1t was charged by MIR. Steiner, Secretary of
the Association, that these men had started
more than one horse at Hambline and at
Rochester Mimi. The defense claimed that
control of the horses objected to was given up
20 davs before The races. The case went over
Tor consideration in executive session.
The case against Harenburg and Crockett,
owners of the black horse Star Edssll, is for
entering HIM in race at Ellensburg and
Shenandoah, Ia, out of his class. The horse is
said to be over years old and was entered in
the 2-year-old class. The case was continued
for further evidence DR.. +. NJ. Clark, of Chi
cago, appeared before the Board in an en-
deaVor TO secure action IN a case wherein he was
suspended for non-pavment of entry fees. He
claims that he was victimized by former driver
whom he had discharged, and that the driver
vile and at Terre Haute, and because he did
not pay these entry fees he was suspended.
The case was passed to give Dr. Clark time to
draw up application to have the matter
again brought before the Appeal Board.
The closing event of the day was the dis
closure that 1. p. Goldberg, of Oshkosh. Wis,
by seemingly overwhelming preponderance
of evidence, had been guilty of violating the
rules governing the fraudulent entry of horses.
Goldberg is well-knuwn Wisconsin horseman
residing in Oshkosh. 1t was apparently shown
concIusively that under the alias of BLACK
Frank" he had sprung ringer" named Dick
Organ on the association tracks at the fairs in
Sturgeon Bay 1shpeming, Menommee, Mad
ison. Green Bay and other Northern points.
GoldberG's own letters produced before the
board, and his refusal to answer questions when
placed on the witness stand, produced painful
impression.
1t was shown that Black Frank had won a
majority of the races of the season, and must
have nested Goldberg quite sum. Goldberg's S
letters showed that he had returned the horse
to 7. j. Middough, of Patterson, Pa. after
completing the circuit. judgment will be rem
dered in executive session. The usual penalty
in such cases is expulsion.

TO RUSH 1T THROUGH.
THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL MAY BE
PASSED BY CHRIST MAS.

Outline of Probable Programme to be Pur-
sued by the Republican Senators on the
acknowledgements at Sea-SenatorT Tur-
pie Speaks Against the Bill
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The Democrats
of the Senate are at a loss 10 know what
course to take with regard to the Federal
elections bill, because the Republicans will
not show their hand. The unanlmity and
equinimity of the Republicans is alarming
to them, in view of the lack of these quail
tiles in support of the bill last session. and
they cannot avoid thinking that some new
understanding has been reached and some
new plan held in view for accomplishing
the passage of the bill. The fact that some
of the free coinage men were the only oppo-
nents of the bill last session, and that these
have quietly dropped into line this session,
gives color to the assertion that it is under
stood that the President and leading East
ern Senators will interpose no obstruction
to the passage of the free coinage bill, pro-
vided the party sticks together on the Fed
eral elections bill.
This mption, however, is gratuitous.
There is no question that the Republicans
are proceeding with confidence indicative
of clear understanding as to the course
that will be pursued. and it is pretty gen.
eral conviction that this course will not be
dIlatory, timid nor hesitating. One of the
Senators who should be best informed of
what is gong on. said to the correspondent of
THE DISPATCH this evening:
| think the Democrats and the country will
be surprised at the manner in which the cleo
tions bill will be put through. 1t will be no
tariff bill debate. dragging along until the end
of the session. How would this do for a pro.
The elec ion bill can he discussed every day. 1t
should be exhausted by that time. Three
weeks is enough time for any question.
simply for delay. Suppose that at the end OF
three weeks, with some such able and willing
gentleman as Ingalls, in the chair, Senator
moves that debate close and a vote be taken
at such an hour. OF course the Democrats
will attempt to fillibuster against the adoption
of this motion. but the chair can ignore in er-
ruption, pnt the motion, and, if it receives
the majority of the votes. declare it adopted.
The Democrats may run away, but the Repub-
lcans can muster ii quorum. i merely say,
suppose this should be done. / don't say IT
will be. ! will say. however. that / do not
think there will be any formal change of the
rules
Mr.. Turpie took the floor this afternoon
in the Senate in opposition to the Fed
eral elections bill. In his speech be
claimed that the supremacy OF the white
race was not peculiar to any portion of the
United States. South Carolina was not more
completely under its sway than was Penn
sylvania. Its supremacy was not one whit
more firmly established in Texas and
Arkansas than in Illinois and Ohio. He
said the purpose OF the bill was not to main
tain the will of the majority, but to over
throw 1t on the single issue Of race.

TROUBLE WITH A DITCH.
A Long JOB of Digging Causes Dismay to
Housekeepers.

A Long JOB of Digging Causes Dismay to
Housekeepers.
For some two months past a gentleman
named Gallagher-at least that is the name
known in the neighborhood-has had a gang of
men at work attempting to drain the property
in the vicinity of Second avenue and Grant
street Just what difficulties they have en-
countered the people thereabouts cannot
discover. but they are evidently equal to those
encountered by De Lesseps on the lSthmus of
Panama. When the excavation was made it
seems that the ground was of the nature of
quicksand, and the ditch but three or four
feet wide, had te be shored to prevent caving.
Just what the workmen were doing could
of four or five weeks the ditch was filed, and
the housekeepers in the neighborhood were
enabled to make two doormats do duty for a
whole day at a time.
Greatw was the rejoicing among the disen-
thralled housewives when they found the pave
nenI once more free from mud, but it was
short lived, There was shower. and grocery
cellar was filled with water-some said it
backed up to the Court House. The grocer's
property was considerably damaged. A cry
went up. Let her go, Gallagher" and the
ditch was opened again, and is still open.
1t is said the excavators bad
nature of the trouble seems impossible to
fathom accurately.
During all this trouble the contractor had his
arm shattered in \ street railway collision, and
it is supposed that he hasn't found life worth
living, unless he has arranged with the under
taker for heavy discount. The ditch is less
than SO uare in length.
