PER CAPITA

The Wilmington Star takes a day off
now and then and bowls calamity. On
the oath it pronoun ;ed the per capita
all a 'humbug," says the per capita
wealth estimated at s. 1000 for each in
habitant in the United States is allpUre
rot. 1t says thousands of people haven't
got enough money to buy a breakfast,
and a majority of people never owned
a thousand dollars at one time. Then
it goes for the people who oppose free
coinage or the expansion Of the cur
rency and hints that they hadn't orter
tell the people there is enough money,
enough, etc. 1t says further, that
while Massachusetts is credited with
having $3.50 per capita, North Caro-
lima has only Sc per capita.
That is well enough for demagogues
to tell their deluded followers, But it
is "8ocialiSm " The Star would have
the money divided out equally. 1t is
pGterndIiSn1, it is calculated "to dis
turb business" The editor Of the Star
and his dupes don't know n more
about finance" than a pup two weeks
old. If the editor of the Star and his
dupe8 would go to aCOrk' and quit
complaining, everything would be all
right. His dupes raise too much of
everything; they are creating OUer-
production. Over production is what
is hurting the country. If Alliance,
men would work six days a week on
their farms like other classes do, they
would be prosperous and happy
"Confound 'em, they are eXtravagant
they buy a Is cent hat every two years.
1t is extravaganza that is running you
farmers"
Oar readers will recognise the style
| Of the Star and birds Of a feather in
the above paragraph probably less than
a year ago when they were complain
ing about the Alliance and its papers,
We are simply paying them back in
their own corn, We are onto their
calamity bowling. 1T is all a fraud.

A FIGHT TO THE FINISH.

The Kelly Axe Manufacturing Com
pany, whose advertisement is now
running in our paper, is a reliable CON
Germ and is engaged in a desperate fight
with the Axe Trust" 1t refused to
join the trust more than two years ago
and has had a hard fight ever since.
Owing to this many AIliancemen will
buy no other axe. We advise our
friends to call for the Kelly axe and in
sist that dealers keep them for sale. In
this way you get q frst-class article,
made by a company that refuses to rob
the public just because the public are
IN a position to be robbed. they de-
pend on the merits of their axes and
their business integrity to outweigh
the powerful influence and capital of
the x trust. We feel sure that our
readers will do any thing honorable to
break up the huge axe trust.

BRO. HOOVER IN PERQUIMANS
COUNTY.

OKIsKO, n. @.
Mr.. EDITOR:-It was my pleasure to
be present al q gathering Of the good
people at Chapanoke, Perquimans
county, yesterday, to hear that sturdy
little (Zacheus) Bro. J. I. B. Hoover
upon the issues that so engages the at
tention and thoughts Of the patriotic
wealth producers OF this grand old
Republic. He is not only forcibie but
logical and just, buo l desire to say by
way of encouragement to the brother
hood every where that his effort was
highly appreciated by an attentive au-
dience, and it's effect viii be beneficial.
Weoft the East appreciate such men. His
is g noble work in the interest Of q noble
cause and may the blessings Of Heaven
be upon him whithersoever he may go.
Would to God we had more such men.
Our people in this section of North
Carolina were thunderstruck at the
tyrenical action Of the last legislature
in trying to amend our charter. It's
action is condemned by nearly every
body, regardless Of political procIivi-
ties; it was a high-handed piece of
usurpation Of power, and in our opin-
ion in direct violation Of constitutional
law, and if tested we firmly believe q
court of justice would so decide. I
can say n thing Of tit has given us
strength and more firmly united US and
instead of being dead as the pluto
cratic subsidized monopoly partisan
hireling sheets say, they will find us
the most lively corpse that their eyes
ever beheld. The strongest straight
outs, as they are won't to call them
selves, say since the election if their
party does nothing for the relief Of the
great industrial classes, that the ma
tionaIbank-D Democratic party will be
as dead as Hector in 1896.
Our demands are just and right, and
we intend to stand by them all the way
through, with this motto eve in view,
Equal rights to all, special favors to
none"

the line, let the chips fall where they
may, and if any shot you may fire at
our enemies hurts, all we have to say
is for them to get out Of the way.
Some think as our crop prospects are
so very fine at this time, there may be
an over production. Ia such a sad case
what will be done9 Would it not be
better for us to do like some of those
over productionists-quit work for
awhile? God bless the Lan1ented Folks

they even think of this corpse"

Mr.. Thompson, (but he needs none)

The Homo Fire Insurance Company Re-
insures-Reasonsf for the Decision.
The Home Fire Insurance. Company has
decided to retire from business, and has &C.
cordingly reinsured all its risks. The
reasons for this action were given to a
observation-disclosures reporter yesterday in
an interview with u. A. Spencer, the Sec
rotary Of the company. in which he said !:
The directors aud stockholders have for some
time had under consideration the question Of
whether 10 retire or to branch out into larger
fields. The generally unsatisfactory condition
of the fire insurance business which
has caused such companies the Anglo
Nevada, Union and California to retire
decided them to do the same, and on February
% they reinsured their outstanding policies
with the Westchester, OF New York As the
Westchester is strong company with Q large
surplus, the directors feel that they have taken
good OF the interests of their policy -holders
regret very much to have the company 20
out OF existence. but the stockholders feel safer
in using their capital in other directions. The
company has always kept every obligation in
absolute good faith and has paid its losses %
promptly the largest Of it, competitors
During its existence it went through the ordeal
of the great fires OF 1859 in seattle, ElleusburR
and spokane, and 1t was the good faith show a
to its patrons under such adverse circumstances
that induced me to take the secretaryship when
rendered me. II will be q loss to this commu-

gave the proprietors to understand that
they must close, for at 10 o'clock they
were shut as tight as meeting house IN

Though the police think they have the
burglars and are making an effort to wake
up. burglaries still continue. Friday night
the Office of r. p. Carroll. in the Occi-
dental block, was entered and papers and
books strewn around tho room. To all
appearances the burglars felt aggrieved at
not finding anything easily tnrned into
money and threw things around for per-
sOnal satisfaction.
One night last week the house of DR..
George G. Griffin on Bush street would
have been burglarized but for the bravery
of Mrs. Griffin, who sailed forth with re-
volver and put the thieves to fight. The
doctor was away from home, but when
Mrs. Griffin heard some one trying to get
in through the kitchen window she did
not run upstairs and cover up
her head in regulation style, but
picked up her husbands gun and started
for the scene of action. The operators evil
DENLY heard her coming, for they ran
away in double quick time. Mrs. Griffin
shut the window and went to bed as if moth
ing had happened.

suit Of the Inquiry.
The inquiry into the condition of the
water works system, from which so much
was expected. has resulted in q very con-
Messrs. J. H. Perkins and J. E. Boyden
went over the plant and yesterday handed
IN the following as their conclusions:
We the. undersigned, having been appointed
by your honorable body to examine into the
efficiency of the pumping plants of the city
water works OF the city of Seattle, beg leave to
report as follows:
All the pumps in the Lake Washington station
we find to be in good working condition with
the exception OF the Dow pump, which needs q
general overhauling, and will then be good for
100000 gallons per day OF twenty-four hours,
and that the Holly pumps with the two Worth
ington pumps are pumping $500. 1000 gallons per
day of twenty four hourA
We find the boilers In good condition, with
the exceptions of q few leaks on the valves,
which need to be repaired. We also hnd the
pumps at the Broadway station In good condi-
ton. and also the one on Queen Anue hill.
The pumps at the Broadway station are using
about 900 gallons from the reservoir, and
the Queen Anne about 10000 gallons every
tweniy-four hours, leaving a total Of 6650.O0O
gallons daily in the city reservoir outside of tho
districts supplied by the two latter stations. or
about lS3 gallons per capita on . popu lation OF
$4,000
The source OF difference between the supply
and the actual consumption. according to the
water superintendents collections. must be
looked for outside of the pumping plants.
While 1t may not be in order for this commit
tee to make any suggestions. we would recon.
mend that the chief engineer be allowed to
make some needed changes in the pipes and
valves on the boiler plant ut Lake Washington
on the boiler connections, and also have the
Dow pump put in frstclass working order.
Mr.. J. NJ. Colman has not been able to
leave his house yet. but on Monday he
will endeavor to make an inspection, and
his report will be looked forward to with
