The Obstruction Begun.

The POLITICAL purpose of the Haws
allan agitation was made apparent
when the Republicans in the House
fllibustered over a resolution intro
duced by the absurd Boutelle until
thy compelled an adjournment
without taking up the tariff bill.
This is the only possible object of
the whole intrigue, beyond the gen.
eral purpose of prolonging disturb
ance and embarrassing the adminis~
tration. It is a part of the deliber-
ate policy of obstruction entered
upon oy the Republican party lead
ers and encouraged not only by their
organs but by the influenta al hene>
6ciaries IF the existing tariff.
There was no excuse whatever for
the filllbusterIng, as it was proposed
to set apart two days later in the
week for speeches about Hawaii
when Boute.le would have had
abundant Cpl ortunity to spread him
self. L. was obstruction, pure an
8 mple. And the experience ought
to teach the Democrats of the
House to rally their forces and go Oh
with the serious business tefore
them.
They have an ample majority, and
it is they and not tie opposition that
the country will hold responsible fer
every delay. 1t is the plain duty of
the House to proceed at once with
the consideration of the tariff, and If
the majority suffer themselves to be
blllied by faction minority they
will deserve the condemnation they
are sure to get.

Kill the Income Tax Folly.

Five of the Democratic members
of the Ways and Means committee
have voted in conference in favor of
an income tax aud four, including
the chairman, against it. This is a
matter that must be decided in the
full committe, where it is clearly
every members duty to vote accord
ing to his convictions.
The four who are opposed to an
income tax have much better idea
both of sound tax policy aud of a
judicious party policy than the five
who favor it. If the Republican
members also vote against an in.
come tax it will be and should be
defeated in the COMMITTEES. 1t Is
certain to be defeated eventually, in
the Senate if not in the House,
and it ought to be killed at the
start.
TO talk of reyiving the tax on
private incomes now is madness.
The people don't want it and the
cost Of collecting it would be suff-
cient to condemn it as q revenue
measure if there were no other OBJ,
jections to it.
Congress has ample opportunity
to provide sufficient revenue for the
needs of the government, economic
ally administered. by readjustment
of the present methods of taxation.
A failure to do this will not be ex-
cused. it will be only confessed, by
the resort to an income tax. Tariff
reduction is what the people want.

LAUGH A LITTLE BIT.

Here's motto, just your fit
Laugh little bit
When you think you're trouble hit,
Laugh little bit.
Look misfortune in the face,
Brave the the beldam's rude grimace:
Ten to one twill yield its place,
If you have the wit and grit
Just to laugh little bit.
Keep your face with sunshine lit,
Laugh little bit.
All the shadows off will fit,
Ifyou have the grit and wit
Just to laugh little bit.
Cherish this as sacred writ
Laugh little bit,
Keep it with you, sample it,
Laugh little bit
Little ills will sure betide you,
Fortune may not sit beside ysu,
Men may mock, and fame deride you,
But you'll mind them not whit
If you laugh little bit.

A Leaf of History From His Lite During
North Cardinals Darkest Days.

From the Eljzrbe City Econos
mist Falcon, whose editor, Col. r.
B. Creecy, is one of the most accu.
rate and best informed editors 10
the State, as we'll as one of the
most conservative and patriotic,
we take the following bit of remi :
niscent history which will no doubt
be read with interes. by many who
are familiar with the incidents al
luded to:
North Carolina has had come
ordeals of suffering that makes US
love her tor the trials che has gone
through, but there has been no
period of suffering that has SO
aroused the indignation Of our
people as the KirkeBurgen nvasion
of our State during the admins.
tration of Governor Holden,
The counties in which Kirk and
Burgen had their organized mills
tary cut.throats were under a reign
of terror. The best men in the
State had been subjected to torture
to extort confessions from them OF
their knowledge of the Ku Klux
organization. Some were impris.
oaed, denied drinking water and
suitable food, ind subjected to per-
sonal degradation. 10. Turner
was pnt in cell with felons. Judge
Kerr was imprisoned, Mr.. Roane,
one of the best citizens in Western
North Carolina, was hung up by
the thumbs and otherwise tortured.
Many others received similar treat
ment. Further harshnees was
threatened.
The protection OF the Courts was
appealed to. The writ of habeas
corpus was invoked. The Courts
were defied and overawed. They
were exhausted. as they said, in
their power of protection.
In this desperate condition of
Suffering and terror, one man, a
identified with the honor Of the
State from earliest manhood, syms
pathiz ng in every heart beat of
sorrow with our people, studied the
case of outraged citizens, thought
he saw an opening of relief for
our strickened people, and from his
exalted position in the United
States Senate, hurried home, con.
suited the highest legal authority
in the State, Judge William 81.
Battle, showed him the National
statute that he supposed would
aE,rd protec ion to our suffering
people and his opinions were apr
proved by Judge Battle; and with
a leat of the Government etatutes
cut out OF Battles law.book, hur-
ried to Elizabeth City. That man
was our beloved Senator, Matt. W.
Ransom. He was here to zee Hon.
Geo. W. Brooks, Judge of the
Federal court.
Senator Ransom came in the
night, came we think, in the stage,
at great Inconvenience: at once
sought the Office of Judge Brooks,
laid his appeal before him, plead
foe their outraged citizens, and
asked of Judge Brooks a writ @
habeas corpus for the relief Of the
imprisoned citizens of North Caro-.
lima. He was seconded in his ap.
peal by the earnest aid of Mrs.
Brooks; whose potent influence on
that occasion. we have priyate reas
sons for knowing that Senator
Ransom still appreciates with graf
itude.
Judge Brooks, with characters
tic deliberation, delayed a definite
reply until the morning. The
morning came knd Ransom was
early at his house, Brooks Issued
his writ of habeas corpus; the pris.
lonors were released, the writ was

issue. They cay thst their lawyers
tell them to go ahead, as the pro.

florida law, and they say they are

It may be true that the cub
managers have brought pressure to

telegram read to-day 10 the Florida
G, n ference of the NJ, E. Church
South in Palatks, Florida show:
"TALLAHAssE, FLA, Jan. 5, 1894.

Cor bette Mitchell prize fight. l shall

misee.
'ISigned] N. L. MITCHELL,
Governor OF Florida"
1t is needless to say that this
telegram was heartily cheered by
the ministers. Many people believe
that the stand taken by the M. E.
Conference has given the club the
blacklist eye up to date, for the
ministers gathered at Palatka re,
present fully one halt of the pop.
ulation of Florida. The club peo
pie talk good deal about pushing
work on the arena bnt the facts
seem to be that they are simply
building a high fence around an
acre or two of grcuud. They say
that they will not roof the en-,
coleure and seats will be put liz
later.
The truth is, as has been stated
in these dispatches, that there is 6
very general belief that the clut

Old and new Year reflections.

The closing days of the year can
not be devoted to better purpose
than a retrospective view of the
preceding twelve months, made
with tie purpose of obtaining a
guide for the future. The year,
though an arbitrary division of
tin e, serves a good purpose in pro,
viding a stopping place from which
to make observations and a new
departure. Men have become 81
accustomed to making these divi,
sions of time that they think oi
them as real, Though time rolls on
in an uneuding cycle without in
terruption, we can scarcely accus-
tom ourselves to the idea; by the
force of custom 1898 is set apart
from 1894, and at the close OF 1893
it is we'll to look back upon ones
individual history during the year
with the purpose of applying the
lessons Of experience to 1894. Ii
requires some courage to ake this
interpretive view fairly, nothing
extenuating, and yet, unless we
can bring ourselves to look upon
personal faults with an unpre-
JUDGED eye, we cannot hope to
correct them. What have we done

Advice From 4 King.

Kabarega. the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, Is q man who rules his
subjects with arod of iron. Like all ty-
rants, he regulates their smallest actions,
and a host of spies inform him of any
disoledience to his commands.
Among othor things, he has made
fixed tariff Of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and every
deviation from it is severely punished.
An instance Of this is given by Vita Has
san in his book about Einin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About G. month after Hassan's arrival
in Unyoro be bought fowl and paid 80
cowries for it, while the market price
was only rs. In that part of Africa it
takes about $50 cowries to make 81.
Soon afterward dragoman of the king
appeared and brought back cowries,
with the message:
ga fowl costs only IS cowries, while
you have given 80. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him,
but he sends to you the advice to be care
full henceforth in your purchases-never
to give for anything more than it is
worth. first of all in your own interest,
and next to this in order not to disturb
the market. YOUTHS Companion.
