THE NEW MOSES.

Single Tax Henry George appears to
have come to the front a a kind of Moses
TO lead Democratic leaders ont of the
snarl they have worked themselves into.
Finding the opposition TO the income-tax
bill under consideration so formidable as
10 threaten the whole scheme OF tariff re-
form. the Democrats hail with satisfaction
any rational plan of escape. The PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. George is TO appOrtion among
the several States the amount of tax TO be
derived from incomes. This plan is a
recognition of the correctness Of the read
ing of the constitution which declares an
income tax direct tax. But tax COL
lected in this way ceases 10 be an income
tax. Each State will hand over to the
Federal treasury the amount that may be
required of ii, but 1t will not follow that
this amount must be derived from in
comes. Congress cannot require State
officials to levy and collect a tax on any
plan Congress may devise. The so-called
income tax may therefore become IN one
State head tax and in another property
tax. During the war Congress imposed
and collected an income tax in the several
loyal States. During the war Congress
did many other things of doubtful con I'll
tutiOnelity. Loyal citizens accepted these
assumptions of power as necessary 10 the
successful prosecution of the war. 1t was
not time TO split hairs about cOnstitu-
ton al rights. But there is now no occasion
for an exercise of extracon sttutional
powers. The revenue the Government
needs may be collected in ways that have
been sanctioned by every administration
that has existed since the constitution was
adopted. The appearance of the visionary
author of Progress and Poverty" as
Democratic Moses will hardly re-
vive the waning confidence OF the
people in the ability Of the Democratic
party TO administer the Government
There are perhaps as able Individual men
in that party as in the other, but for
thirty years they have only dealt with neg
alive propositions. They have opposed
with considerable ability the policies OF
the Republicans. but the present is the
first time they have been called upon to
formulate a policy of their own. The
abandonment of the ordinary method of
obtaining revenue was a fatal mistake.
In hundred years the Custom-house and
a tax on a limited class of home products
have furnished the Government with all
the revenue it needed The only excep-
ton has been during period of war.
Three-fourths of a public debt of 50, 70O,-
100000 has been paid off without the
imposition of an extraordinary tax. The
industries OF the country have in fact been
benefited rather than injured by a system
OF taxation which to an extent transferred
the burdens OF Government from our own
people to foreign producers. Free trade
and income tax are English methods
Whether or not England has profted by
them they are not suited TO the conditions
prevailing in the United States.

THE STREET LAW.
The Examiner says:

The Examiner says:
The street law has been IN many respects a
vicious piece of legislation. II was drawn by
the contractors attorneys and put through the
Legislature by tile contractors lobby and
amended by the influence OF the contractors to
extingulsh the rights of property owners.
THE CALL will not quarrel with this
statement Of facts. 1t is simply an
affirmation of what THE CALL has al
ways contended-that a new charter will
be of very little use to this city so long as
contractors can get in their fine work in
the State Legislature. When San Fran
cisco provides Itself with a new charter it
should be under conditions which protect
the charter from State supervision. The
contractors will have their attorneys. their
Hobbies and possibly Judges so long as the
city is at the mercy of laws shaped by
such influences.

A MERITORIOUS CAROLINIAN.

There is one Democrat in North
Carolina who has not received proper
recognition at the hands of the
Administration, but whose services TO
the Democracy have been marked and
distinguished. In the memorable can
vases of 1884, 1888 and 1890, Mr.
Walter K. Henry, of Henderson,
canvassed part OF the State, and in
1892 canvassed the greater part of it.
In the campaign but just closed he
made eloquent, able and effective
speeches in almost the entire Eastern
section Of North Carolina. 1t is not
doing injustice to other speakers to say
that his canvass of this year in tie
East was as important, as vigorous, as
telling as that of any man in the
work. 1t is known that he has been
warmly Endorsed by the press and
many of our best known public men
and jurlsts Eeretofore-Clark, Connor,
Dck,-and by Gov. Carr, United
States District Attorney Aycock, At
torney General Osborne, President
Winston, DR.. Kemp P. Battle and
other men of prominence and culture.
The Democrats among whom he has
appeared in the canvass would no
doubt be glad TO see his ability and
faithful services duly recognized. Why
are SO many men OF less parts and less
prominence favored and Mr.. Henry is
overSlaughed He deserves favorable
recognition of the "powers that be-"
Those who know him are they who
speak in the highest terms of him.
Capt. Samuel A. Ashe three years ago
referred to him as a man of unusual
ability, of great power, of high char
acter and an interchangeable worker

THE NORTH CAROLINA JONAH.

Great as was the discomfort of our
people, we believe that North Carolina
could have been held in place if the
leaders had conducted the campaign
on little different lines The people
saw months ago that the whole party
machine was being used in the interest
of Senator Ransom and that his re-
election to the United State Senate
was the prime object with them.
Almost anybody can see that it was a
Ransom campaign. That very fact
kept many men from the polls who
otherwise would have been there to
cast their ballots for Democracy. x * *
The discomfort was great, but when it
became apparent that Senator Ransom
was to be forced upon the people any
way, the discomfort became general
and apathy prevailed. And therein
lies the cause very largely of the great
defeat in this State.
New York met her Waterloo on
account of the income tax and the
revelation of the Lexow committee.
but those did not operate in this State.
1t came about on account of the fatal
division on the silver question, of
which Senator Ransom was the disturb
ing taCtor.-Wilson 4arancG.

Ruler of the universe, has made it the
duty OF every good citizen to tittingly
observe one day in the year as the

We have been spared another year the
disasters and troubles which have
afflicted other States and nations and
have been especially blessed in the full
enjoyment OF life and liberty and the
manifold blessings which proceed there
from.
Therefore, |, Elias Carr, Governor OF
the State OF North Carolina, do hereby
designate and appoint Thursday, the
18th day OF November, 1894, as a day
OF public thanksgiving and praise
And earnestly request the citizens OF
the State to suitably observe this day at
their usual places of worship: to remem-
Der in their prayers and offerings the
disabled soldier, the widow and the
orphan, the needy neighbor and the
noble institutions which have been estab-
llshed under the fostering hand of the
State for their maintenance

SENSE IN THIS.

Many people have an erroneous idea
OF the functions Of government. They
believe it can and ought to DO things
for them which it can not and will
not do. Wise and judicious legisla-
ton may do much toward bringing
about and fostering individual and
community welfare and prosperity, just
as vicious and extravagant legislation
may do much to retard It, but after all
it remains for the people themselves to
work out their own salvation-indus-
trially, Commercially,a and intellectually,
as we'll as spiritually. Government is
not going to do this for them NJ matter
what party is in power. And the
sooner this fact is realized and aCttd
upon the better it will be for all con-
Cerned. Some of our friends hive
been and are still looking forward TOR
great things to be done for the ctter-
ment of their condition as a resu, Of
Republican and Populstic success. In
this they are doomed to disappoinr-
ment. Not that the Populist, wou.d
not do 1t if they could, perhaps, bat
that they can not fulfill the premises
made. 1t is not within their IInge of
power to make prosperity take he
place Of adversely, to put money into
the pockets of the people without
individual effort on their part. And
this should not be expected of them or
any other political party. The Monroe
Enquirer takes the correct view of the
situation when it says:
Now the elections are over the best
thing for all the people to do is to
look to business. The Democrats have
been defeated upon the charge of not
bringing unbounded prosperity to the
people. The Republican party will
not bring unbounded prosperity. No
political party will bring unbounded
prosperity to all the people He is
foolish and visionary who expects any
party to thrust prosperity upon him
while he waits. The best thing, there
fore to do is to look at the bright side
of things and work with cheer:ulness
and with will at our chosen vocations.

pher, "overcome all difficulties Our
destiny depends upon individual work.

the individuals composing that nation.
