INSTEAD OF passing Mr.. Moneys res
olution, endorsing the unwarrantable
interference of Admiral Benham with
the affairs of Brazil, Congress should
direct the Secretary of the Navy to re-
cali him, and thereby give the govern
ments naval officers an object lesson OF
the ill-etlect of not minding their own
business. 1t is said the blockade at Rio
exists only on paper, and therefore has
no claim to the respect of foreign ma
tons. But those who say this are
either ill-informed or reckless in their
assertions. The blockade is respected
by all other nations except the United
States. because, though they have no
Monroe doctrine, on paper, they have
sense and comfy enough to avoid I'M
asked meddling with the internicine
troubles of foreign countries. Then,
too. everybody knows that though the
hIockades of most of the southern ports
during the war between the States were
only paper blockades, they were re-
spected by all foreign nations; and
what howl would have been raised
in thel North if British man-ot-war,
the immense commerce of whose coun-
try with the South was entirely sus-
pended by the blockade, had set it at
defiance by escorting an English mer-
chairman through any of the southern
harbors, Not the least strange thing
about the resolution referred to, is the
fact that it was offered by native OF

ground with heavy groan and the
blood flowed from a wound in his
breast. DR.. Fleming was hastily sum-
moned and found the wounded mans
injury to be not very serious, although
he had had narrow escape from being
shot through the heart. Fliedman fled
after the shooting, but was later cap
tured and taken to the Yorkville court
where he was held to await the result
of Albertsin's injuries.

indictment in connection with The late
prize fight near Norfolk, but this fact
did not cause the committee to turn
him down. He is a member of the
present board.
The Senate committee on finance
met last night, and appointed Messrs
Lovenstein, Harnesberger and Fairfax
carrying out the recommendations Of
the mineral lands committee and es.
tablishing a State board of equalization
of taxation.
Messrs. ]. Taylor Ellyson and Bev
T. Crump appeared before the commit
tee in advocacy of the bill imposing a
tax on building and loan associations,
and it was reported.
The Proposed Richmond and ManaS-
sas Road.
The House of Delegates committee
on roads yesterday considered the bill
introduced by Mr.. Hunton to incorpo
rate the Richmond and Manassas Rail
road, which is to connect at Manassas
Junction with line for which the Bal
timore and Ohio has obtained charter
The incorporators are Eppa Hunton,
jr., B. F. Crump, ]. Wilcox Brown,
Charles E. Wingo and George Mason.
There is provision in the bill prevent
ing the company from paralleling with
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Road as long as this State holds
stock in that company, but Messrs.
Hunton, Downing and Thomas were
all in favor of the State disposing of its
4,67S shares of stock in the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Road,
and thought that the revenue derived
from the proposed road in taxes would
equal the surplus fund which the State
now receives from her interests in the
former line.
A delegation from the Richmond
Chamber Of Commerce appeared before
the committee in advocacy of the bill.
They urged that if the proposed line
was built the people of Richmond would
be in close connection with the
upper section of the State; that
under existing circumstances wheat
raised in that section of the State had
to find market in Baltimore instead Of
Richmond that this same wheat was
then shipped to Richmond from Bati-
more by vessels. The reason for this
was that the Richmond, Fredericks-
bvrg and Potomac Road was controlled
as far as through freight rates were con-
cerned, by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
on whose board Virginia had only one
representative.
Major Ny ers, the president of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railroad, stated that the stock in
that road had already decreased in val
ue since the bill to incorporate this
competing line had been introduced.
He understood that the Baltimore and
Ohio already had charter from this
State as far as Quantico, and if they
only wanted to reach Manassas it
would not be difficult for them to do so
by constructing branch lines, as such
right were allowed them in their char
| ter.
Mr.. Nelson, of Frederick, moved to
report the bill favorably, but Mr.. Pret-
low moved to postpone action on the
measure until the next meeting of the
committee A tie vote was the result,
it standing / to t, and the chairman
decided the matter by voting for post
poning

THE DEMOCRATIC members OF the
finance committee of the I. 5. Senate
did wise thing when they determined
TO listen to no more arguments on the

State Finances.

Col. Morton Marye, the Auditor OF
Public Accounts, submitted to the
Houss finance committee onTuesday an
interesting statement as to the revenues
of the State. He explained that the
revenues were ample to pay ail ex-
penses as they exist now, and besides
the interest on the public debt, even if
its Whole amount was funded, and it
would then ieaye surplus of 100000.
Col. Marye explained that in his
statement he had not included the re-
ceipts and expenditures Of the peniten-
tiafg, He thought that hereafter that
Institution you'd net the State reve-
nue. of from SOC 900 to $4,000 year.
At present nearly ali to- surplus had
been spent in improving the institltion,
and during the present session bills had
been passed which appropriated about
$4,000 out of the receipts for such pur-
poses.
The taxes of licenses of merchants
for the present fiscal year had been
based on the business of the previous
year QS92), when the business in the
various branches was exceedingly large,
the license taxes from all sources
amounting to 100000. The revenues
for the NEXT year you'd be based on the
business of 1898, WHICH bad been the
worst one in % years, 1t was, there
fore, possible that licenses would neRt
year fall off perhaps 100000.
The last assessment of the real estate
liz tae State had been very high, it hay
ing teea iaken during the boom period,
and he apprehsAaed that the value of
real estate, as we'll as t0at Of the per-
sonal estate, would be materially Sc
duced during next year. However, the
Sta1s vas constantly improving, and
during the vGst four years its revenues
had increased about - 900.

Our First Effort.

In this our first effort to give a com
pact write-up Of Marshall county and
Plymouth and the numerous business
interests, we may through an oversight
and our slight acquaintance, overlook
some one who is connected with some
line of business in Plymouth. Our en-
deavor has. been to make the matter
interesting and readable, and if in the
hurry and hustle of compiling the sta
tistics some one has been omitted, it has
not been intentional
We are under obligations to Mr.. Alex
Thompson for the statistics and refer
ences in regard to the early days of the
county and Plymouth. We hope that
the efforts put forth and the great
amount of labor necessary to present
this number to our readers, viii be un-
derstood and appreciated.
In the near future, it is our intention
to get out an edition that will not only
be a credit to the INDEPENDENT from
mechanical point of view, but a last
ing benefit to Plymouth, and great
help in inducing those who are looking
out for favorable locations to invest
their abundance of wealth among us.
Concentrated action upon given point
or subject, will work out great benefits
for community. Will you lend us
your assistance III these efforts that will
in the future be put forth to advance

A MISREPRESENTATION.

In the notice of the Plymouth Cycle
Manufacturing Co., in another column
of this paper, we inadvertently made
an erroneous statement, in attributing
the invention of the bicycle manufac-
tured and in securing to Plymouth the
manufacturing company's plant to the
efforts of Mr.. Geo. w. Marble alone.
1t is only fair to Mr.. Nj. ID. Smalley to
say, that the bicycle which has made
the company famous, is the sole inven-
tion of that gentleman, and the loca-
tion of the factory here was due to the
efforts of Mr.. Nj. ID. Smalley and MesSrs
III. G. Thayer, G. III. Thayer, jr., Jos. a.
Gilmore, c. l.. Morris and Geo. W. Mar

A Surprise.

The routine duties of an editor, though
at times monotonous, finds an epoch in
his life that brings pleasant thoughts
and recollections. And while as rule,
he thinks at times his labors are vain
and unappreciated, there occur some
times, little trifling incidents that warm
his heart and puts new zeal into his
efforts. One of those incidents occurred
at this office Tuesday evening.
1t was while puzzling our brain over
difficult problem, that the Office door
was opened and the harmonious strains
of mandolins and guitar struck upon
our ears. Looking up, we discovered
