Businessmen Protest.

A non-partisan committee OF business
men Of New York, chiefly members of the
grocery trade. is at work getting signers to
petition against the passage of the force
bill.
The reasons given for opposing tho bill
are that it is unnecessary and inexpe-
dent and calculated to create discomfort
and discord between the people of
the North and South" now peaceful
and prosperous; and that it will fan
into life the smouldering embers of therace
question, which time and education are
gradually extinguishing that it will set
back the industrial progress of the South,
alarm capital, and Injure alike the
whites and the blacks, the South and the
North" and that as a partisan measure it
is inconsistent with the spirit of the great
leaders of the past in the Republican
party and hostile to the general welfare of
the people.
We wish the movers in the enterprise
great success.

RICHMOND, August 8, 1890.
To he Editor of the Dispatch.
am surprised that you intimate in your
to-day's issue that other cities will not ac-
quiesce in the census returns. This is GER
tainly very remarkable, if true. For more
than 2, 900 years all cultivated nations have
taken a census with some regularity, and
question whether we are not the first peo-
pie to rebel against the returns. No man
expects mathematical precision, but the
census of the population Is certainly far
more correct than the census of the ,oedlt
of the nation, and We do not discredit this
part of the returns. IL we reject this GEN.
sus the millions of dollars spent by the
Government will be thrown away. As |
said last week in the Dispatch we are
disappointed. and hence the kicking"
1 see from the STATE this morning that the
Board of Health is still calculating upon the
100. 900 basis. II $4,000 is not the popula-
ton of Richmond is it not nearer the truth
tina l00,000Y If we can't get the exact
number let US get as near it as we can.
Men are hard to please. Three competent
gentlemen are now assessing the real es-
tate in Richmond, and citizens complain
that their property is assessed too high"
Suppose tarottoa had nothing whatever to
do with this assessment; they would one
and ell complain that the assessment was
TOO io,c. Such is the ,oorthlessness of many
peoples opinions on subjects in which
they are personally interested. Truth.
We suppose our Board OF Health will be
justified in adhering to their estimate un-
til the exact official census figures can be
obtained from Washington.
We do not know where they got their
100000 estimate from. Certainly not from
this paper. Our calculation was 81, 900.

There are several other criminals In New

No attention was paid 10 the law forbid
ding the publication of the details Of the
execution "It was deliberately. squarely,
and rightly disobeyed by every newspaper
in New York city and probably by every
newspaper in the State" says the New
York Sun.
1T was violated by the press associations
and by the telegraph companies. by the
officers who conducted the execution.
Nearly all the persons present allowed
themselves TO be interviewed. and at least
two Of them were invited to the death
chamber as reporters primarily; their
function as certifying witnesses being only
pretsxt to enable them to furnish the
press with accounts of the execution"
says the Sun.
Really the law is so absurd That it
finds no defenders, and there will proba-
bly, be no prosecutions, or, if any. they
will be as farcical as the statute itself.

The New EXodOuS,

Notwithstanding the official reservations
that the report to the effect that the Rus
sian edicts against the Jews were to be en-
forced was without foundation, it appears
that the exodus of Jews from the Cars IN
happy domains has commenced-that thou
sands of the oppressed people are leaving
their homes and focking to Algeria and
other lands. Actions speak louder than
words. 1t is very evident that the Russian
Hebrews understand that these tyrannical
DEGREES are soon to be enforced, if they are
not in force already. 1t is, moreover, clearer
every day that the Car is anything but
wise in his day and generation.

A GREAT TOBACCO CROP.

So successful have the tobacco farmers
been in Eastern Carolina this year that
there will be large increase Of acreage
next year. 1t is now estimated that in
Edeecombe county alone there will be
10000 acres in tobacco next year. The
crop will soon warrant the building of a
warehouse and the establishing of a local
market, and there will be a race between
Greenville. Tarboro'. Scotland Neck. and
Weldon as to which will get the advantage
by building the first warehouse.
