RE SOLUTIONS.

WHEREAS, The production Of bright
tobacco has been a source of profit to
the farmers of thirty one counties Of
North Carolina and Virginia, and has
gwen employment to a large number
of farm IabOrers at good wages; and
whereas, tobacco is by nature of the
soil and climate the principal money
crop of a large territory. and prices
were satisfactory until 1891; and
whereas, the American Tobacco Com
pany was organized in the fall of 1889
and since been incorporated by the
Legislature of the State of New Jersey
and formed trust on bright tobacco
and whereas, the American Tobacco
Company has placed an agent on each
market and refused to buy from any
other buyer. thereby cutting off all
competition and virtually naming the
price that they will pay for the farm
erS' tobacco and whereas, the American
Tobacco Company has reduced the
price Of bright tobacco 40 to 80 per
cent. and are selling their manufaC-
tured tobacco at the same price to con
sumers as they did before the combine.

as claimed by some from the fact that
the low grades which the American
Tobacco Company does not buy, and
which there is competition, is bringing
as good price or better than before the
trust. Now, therefore be it
ReSOLUed, That we, the Mecklenburg
County (Va) Alliance in regular ses-
sion on the 1st day Of Jan, 1892, do most
respectfully demand that the present
Legislature of Virginia investigate the
operation of the American Tobacco
Company and pass some law so strin-
gent that a corporation chartered by
eur State shall not use its power to
depress and lower the value of products
and property Of another.
3 That we respectfully demand of
our Representatives, and Senators in
Congress to use their best efforts to
enact some law to protect the farmers
in the bright tobacco belt from the
oppression of the American Tobacco
Company.
8. That our Representatives and Sen
atOrs in Congress will enact such laws
as one State shall not grant a charter
to a corporation by which the corpora
tiOn will be able to cut off all cOmp0-
tition in product of another State,
thereby reducing the price.
4. That q copy of these resolutions
be sent to our Representative in the
Legislature and Congress, and also to
the National HcOnOnliSt, Exchange

fire may issue a press and people free
from the fetch of party worship.

THE CENSORSHIP OF THE PAR
TISAN PRESS.

Mr.. EDITOR Freedom Of speech was
early found by the tyrants of Rome to
be dangerous to tyranny. If men were
allowed to talk and write freely of the
rulers. their acts of iniquity would or
ganize an opposition, Talking was not
so bad as writing, because not so per
manent, and not influencing so many.
So the Office of Censor was used to IN
spect all writing and to allow only such
publications as were ''safe." Perhaps
the original establishment Of this office
was to see that nothing 1rrehglOus
should be published. But the tyrants
soon saw the value OF 1t, as machine
for crushing freedom of speech. The
first thing to do was to bind together
corrupt government with corrupt re
hgion, and then all acts OF tyranny ana
pToscriptiOn could be done IN the name
of God. g,
Jefferson saw this old game and had
the church disestablished in Virginia,
and a clause against religious persecu-
tion inserted in the Constitution Of the
United States. SO while the churches
still quarrel. and sometimes socially
Ostrac1Zo each other, and sometimes
vote for their own members to the eX-
cIusiOn of better men in other denOm-
nations. they cannot cOnstltu6IOnally
use the machinery of governments to
nersecute each other, or even lntidels
and Jews. But the Constitution makes
10 provision against persecution by po-
Itical parties; The spirit Of it, as di IN
terpreted by jefferson, IS against max
ing political opinion the test OF capacity
to hold office Washington even had
rnen Of opposite political views in his
Cabinet in order that he might have
the Light of opposing theories and
discussion.
But the bitterness of a political per
aecution, intensified by opposing sec
tional interests, soon wiped out the
eounsels of Washington and Jefferson.
Before the war the interests at stake
were sufficient to make political perse-
cution for conscience's sake practicable
and common. Since the war, political
parties, founded upon the opposing in
terests of great sections, and upon feel
inqs engendered or intensified by four
wears of blood and iron, have been en-
abied to run riot in all manner of per
seeution. Prescription for opinions

Jackson. California. Battery and Kear-
ny streets. This contract was kept
In force until the night Of the
l4th of February, ST. Valentines day,
when these were replaced by 22o gas lamps.
which were maintained at nightly cost OF
32b cents per lamp. The people and the
City Council took to the new light so
well that before the end of the following
year tue city was lighted up with 5l4 lamps
at the same tariff. or yearly cost of $780,
973 20. This was kept up until after the
new regime under the inspiration of the
Vigilance Committee in 1856 The number
Of lamps was reduced to 81 and kept at
that number until 1859. when the number
was Increased to 1SS, and from that time on
the number has been on the Increase.
The occasion of the lighting of the city
was celebrated by banquet given at the
Oriental, which Stood on the gore at Bush,
Battery and Market streets. On that occa-
sion j. Mora Moss, who was president OF
the company, took occasion to call attention
to the price then charged for the iliuminat-
ing power. that is So per thousand, and
said that at that rate with coal at from $50
to $40 ton, interest at Sc per cent per an
mum and labor from Sc to 81 per man per
day, the gas was being furnished at so per
cent less than in New Orleans and 20 per
cent less than in New York.

" that the first place of amusement to adopt
the new light was the METROPOLITAN Theater,
which was on Montgomery street, near
Jackson. This was about three weeks after

Scenes on That Thoroughfars Yssterday-An
Efigy Cut Down-How the Coroner Re-

The publicity given yesterday by THE
MORNING CALL to the shocking condition
OF Davis street, between Clay and Washing
ten, bore some fruit which was exceed
ing acceptable to the aggrieved business
men OH that block
Henry l.. Davis, chairman Of the commit
Tee on streets of the Grand Jury, and John
Lynch. the secretary OF that body, paid an
official visit TO the locality early in the after
noon, made thorough examination Of the
street and listened 30 the numerous COM
plants against the Street Department for
the deplorabie condition Of this little stretch
OF thorougbfare. They said this evident
neglect OF duty would receive attention and
these gentlemen left the scene, leaving q
strong Impression upon the minds of the
sufferers that the Grand Jury would soon
have before them Superintendent of Streets
Gllleran to explain to them the situation
IRON his point of view
AT : o'clock the appearance of two stall
wart laborers coming down Washington
street was greeted with loud cheers at the
corner OF Davis. These two men carried
on their shoulders the working tools of
PAYERS. They did not understand the mean
ing of the demonstration, but they smiled
IN return at the crowd and then passed on
toward the city front. AS they disappeared
around the corner the cheers turned into
groans. The produce-dealers were disap-
pointed. They thought at first these two
men were the advance guard of force come
to fix up Davis street
There was some fun in the morning
Their business being enlarged and partly
destroyed by the failure of the city to re-
pair the street, the merchants turned their
wits to devices calculated to heap ridicule
upon the Street Department. The effigy of
man was suspended from a telegraph pole
on the northwest corner Of Washington and
Davis streets. Upon his breast was placed
placard with the following words:
