understood that as a measure of precau-

vessels in the vicinity of Florida to ex.
ercise extreme vigilance in the preser'

THE LEGISLATURE OF 1891.

We make the following clip
ping from a private letter from
one of the members of the last
Legis' ature:
"While others are claiming the
credit for the Legislation which
has caused the railroads to be
taxed, and a yielding of their
exemption, the reform papers
should (if the others will not)
give the Legislature of 1891 full
credit for this work. 1t was
noteworthy that the Bourbon
element of that body fought
nearly every reform, and espe-
cially the railroad legislation
which has been most beneficial
and if it had not been for your
self in the Senate and Buck
Tones and others in the House,
the Wilmington and Weldon
proposition would have been aC-
cepted and other reforms been
defeated"
The writer is partial to me.
and does not do others justice
by giving all the credit in the
Senate to one. There were
many brave and true men in the
Senate who stood squarely by
the people on every reform.

DR.. Macune in the last issue
of the Economist says:
"Let all farmers and those
eligible to membership be made
to feel at home in the Alliance,
regardless OF their political af-
filiations, and treat each one
equally as we'll in fact. If by
friendly discussion We can all
agree upon the principles in
volved and the objects We seek
to accomplish, we can safely
leave each man free to pursue
his own methods and come
nearer securing unity of action,
politically, than in other ways.
This is the sentiment for which
the editor has been denounced
IS traitor by bitter partisans,
but it is the sentiment he has
always expressed and believed
as true Alliance doctrine, and
it is now being universally in
dorsed by the Alliance, and
there is much to encourage
those ardent Alliance workers
who desire to see the Alliance
carried out according to itl
original principles. There is ;
grand triumph for our princi
Piles in the near future if al
hands will stand shoulder t.
shoulder on the lines here indi

Government Ownership.

It is amusing to see old gray
headed Congressman and Sena-
tors crying out against the gov
eminent ownership Of railroads.
Most of them make the great
expense of buying them a plaus-
able argument. Now let's see
what those hypocrites have.
Since 1850 (32 yeafs) the Ameri-
can Congress has appropriated
to railroads government lands
to the amount of 3,00O.OOO,O00
acres. Much of this land is
valuable, and was valuable
when given to the railroads.
Put the 3,OOO,OOO,OO0 acres at
S. per acre and We have the
sum of 15,OOO,OOO,O 900, which
would more than pay for all the
railroads in tie United States,
watered stock and all, for while
the actual cost of the roads has
not been above 81, 900, 900, 900,
the stock has been watered up
to perhaps SIS, ,00O,OOO,O0
Now give the man thunder who
says we cannot buy thess roads.

Eanarasson Tn Aprsi 1901.
The law providing for q Rail
road Commission for this state
was passed by The General Aa-
sembly Of Tsof-'os. The COM
is composed al three
commissioners, and the gentle
men elected by said General As
sembly to this Office are, ]. W.
Wilson, I. w. Mason and L.
{. Beddingheld. These gentle
men have not yes been in Office
two years, and n brief review OF
their work may be OF interest.
When the commission was es-
,ablished the corporations OF the
state were assessed Tor taxation
81, ,S2I, TOO, bu. a revision OF
the assessment warranted the
commission in increaing the
amount by s7,S2o. 900. making
the sum now assessed for taxa
ton s2o,I4I,76o, which increas-
ed the revenue rs follows:
State taxes, sIo. .sso.r4 school
taxes, srI,73o.oS: pension taxes,
s., ,346.or; counties and towns.
s44,574.s2, showing an increase
in the total tax OF s7S,ooo.s6
Before the commission was es-
tablished Pullman cars had new
er been assessed for taxation, but
they are now taxed on valuation
of sI3o 900, and steamboats,,
heretofore not taxed, ure now
taxed on a valuation oi s2oo, 900.
While the work OF the commits
sion in the direction indicated
shows an increase in the value of
certain property, corresponding
decrease in revenue. ii should be
noted in this connection that the
reduction in passenger rates alone
will amount 10 $2oo, 900 per an
mum, in freight rates to $25o, 900
per annum, while telegraphic
rates have been reduced nearly
so per cent. 1t is understood
that nearly $50 complaints have
been made to the commission for
overcharges and various griev-
ances, but that these have gener-
ally been amicable and satisfac-
torily adjusted, and in addition
many orders have been made
pertaining to the conveniences of
the public, such IA causing de-
pots to be erected, trains TO make
connection, cars TO be kept COM
Portable, etc,
An effort has been made At diff
ferent and many times for the
past ten or fifteen years to COM
pei the Wilmington and Weldon
railroad company to pay taxes,
but it hrs never been reached and
for aumber OF years the company
has enjoyed immunity from tax
alton, claiming exemption under
its charter. The commission af-
Ter thorough investigation and
examination, came to the conclu
sion that the exemption clause in
the charter did not extend TO the
branch lines, a different view
from any ever taken before. and
placed the main line from Halifax
to Weldon, and all its branch
lines on the tax list. The u. 5.
Supreme court affirmed this de-
clsiou.
| In all these matters, the corpo-
rations which have represented
before the commission have only
manifested the desire TO stand
upon their legal rights only, and
the investigations have been con-
Quoted on both sides with the sole
aim of finding the right and then
doing it.-Roanoke News.

Declaration of Am merican Journals m

Nowhere else is intellect as
represented by editors SO thor
ough1y prostituted by the in
fiuence of riches and power. In
Great Britain and on the CONT
nent the common people are
treated with respect by the
leading newspapers, and the
cause of labor is fairly placed
before the reading public. But
here, with rare exceptions-ex-
ceptions most of which holds
usually only temporary sway.
The condition of the working
people are misrepresented,
their aims distorted, and their
leaders Ii ed about. The truth
is either suppressed or mang-
led when it would show en-
ployers and the plutocratie
system up in an unfavorable
light. The declarations and de
mands of organized labor are
ridiculed, men and women who
have the honesty and courage
to speak in their defence arr
characterized as demagogues
and labor or political shysters

standing the extreme cold and

night, goodly number of Alli-
ance brothers and sisters were
invited to attend a banquet at
Bro. @. w. Lassiter's. 1t was
given in honor Of Marion Butler

ance of North Carolina, and a
true supporter of its principles.
Among the participants was the
