How He Is Harpooncd and Then Finished
 With Cold Lead.

| How He Is IIarpooncd and Then Finished With Cold Lead.
 Arnold Pike tells of a walrus hunt in Bird bay, to the north of SpitZbergen. | The bay was full of fast ice, but east ward the sea was fairly open, and the | hunter was rowing slowly back to the | sloop when the harpoOner suddenly laid aside his glass fsId headed the boat for black mass which the mirage magni- | fled into the size of n small house, but which was really walrus
 ''The walrus raises his head, and we are mOtionless, says Mir. Pike. Ut is intensely still, and the scraping of a piece of ice along the boat seems like tho roar of n railway train passing over head on some bridge. Down goes the head, and We glide forward again. The walrus is uneasy. Again and again he raises his head and looks around with a quick motion. but we have the sun right at our back, and he never notices us. At last we are within few feet, and with a shout of 'Voek op, gamlingP (Wake up, old boy), which breaks the stiffness like a shot, the harpooner is on his feet, his weapon clasped in both hands above his head.
 As lue "alTuS plunges Into the sea the iron is hurled in his side, and with a quick twist to prevent the head from slipping out of the same slit that it has cut in the thick hide the handle is withdrawn and thrown into the boat No. 2, who with a turn round the for ward thwart has been paying out the line, now checks it, as stroke and tho 'hammelmand, facing forward, hang back on their oars to check the rush Dumping and scraping the ice, we are lowed along for about five minutes and then stop ns the walrus comes to the surface to breathe
 ''In the old days the lance would fin ish the business, but now it is the rife. He is facing the boat. I sight for one of his eyes and let him have both barrels without much effect apparently, for away we rush for two or three minutes more. when he Is up again. still facing the boat. He seems to care no moro for the solid express bullets than if they were peas. but he is low this time, and as he turns to dive exposes the fatal spot at the back of his head and dies " -Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Homo Affairs.

However much Democrats
may differ upon men AMI
measures, there is no room
for difference when We con-
front the squesticn of Anglo
Saxon supremacy and a clean
administration of our local
affairs. The question is
greater than Cleveland, i,
Vance, Ransom orany other
man. The people are not
called upon to decide for the
United States, but for North
Carolina. We must keep it
before them that the question
which concerns them most il
home affairs. What cause
can be urged why the people
Of North Carolina should en-
danger their best interests
by division this year? The
record of the Democratic
party in State affairs is one
to which we can point with
pride. 1t has given Us q
clean, honest and economi-
cal government. What

Topic: The talented Repre-
sentative in Congress from
the eighth district, Hon.
W. H. Bower. has so far
made a fine record and there
is scarcely a doubt but that
he will receive the endorse
ment Of the people for a Sec
ond term. We are proud of
him and the stand he has
taken in Congress. He may
have opposition, but it will
amount to nothing. Speak
ing Of Mr.. Bower, a Washing
ton correspondent of the
Winston Sentinel says:--
"Mr. Bower has been H.
bused on account Of trying
too hard to keep from max.
ing mistakes in the recon-
,nendations for Office, but he
hasbeen making such a fault
less record here that no one
can down him. 1t isgeneral-
ly admitted here that he has
succeeded in getting more po-
sitions for his constituents
than any new Congressman
from the South who has had
no. Senator or cabinet officer
to pull for them" :;

The TarifBili..

Washington, March 1O.-A
rough statement of the re-
suits of the experts figuring
on the tariff bill is as follows
The estimated receipts from
customs in the amended tar
i'll bill as reported to the full
Senate committee on flna n se,
amount to $165. 100000 IN
round figures. From inter.
nal r e ve n u Q, including in.
come tax, and the additional
tax Of 20 cents a gallon on
whiskey as imposed by the
Senate. the increased tax
over the House rates on do
nlestic cigars and cigarettes.
and the tax on playing cards,
it il estimated the receipts
will amount to $4,000 900.
This 1858, 100000 of internal
revenue tax Is additional to
the rsvenue derived from
the sources at present rates,
and will make the entire re-
ceipts from internal revenue
as proposed by the amend
ments in theSenate bill 1920,
100000. Adding to- this a.
mount $161 100000 now re.
celved from other sources of
internal revenue taxation uu
der the present law, and $21.
100000 from miscellaneous
sources, gives $411, 900. 900
as the probable net receipts
under the bill as sapproved by
the Democratic majority of
the Senate finance commit.
tee against 1886, 900. 900 de-
rived last yearfrom esame
sources of revenue under the
Mckinley act.
The Wilson bill az passed
by the House carried an esti.
mated deficit of $73, 900, 900;
the bill as reported to the f.

trust and undue advantage:

calculations. that refined su-

of one

into account t he bounty
paid by Germany for it's ex-

that German sugar is ship
