The Bachelor Tax.
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
A bill to tax bachelors has been
offered even in congress. The North
Carolina legislature is now struggling
with measure OF this character. 1t
proposes to tax unmarried men over
twenty four years Of age, $40 the
first year and to double the tax
every year as long as they remain
single
IT this bill passes it should give the
poor fellows at least as much show
ing as they were allowed in the
Georgia bill That measure prov id
ed that a bachelor who could prove
by three disinterested witnesses in
each case that he had asked four
different women to marry him or the
same woman four times and failed
should be exempt and should be
furnished with certificate to that
fleet by the tax collector of the
county where he lived
They want to be less merciiul in
North Carolina and to lay it onto all
bachelors alike. Several mass meet
ings of disconsolate unmarried men
have already been held to protest
against the passage of the bill aud a
strong bachelor lobby is said to be
working against it.

As an evidence of how the Wilson

country it may be stated that the
Mexican government has recently
ordered Is, 900 cavalry suits from a
Cincinnati house The contract was
OBJ. tanned in competition with foreign
bidders The goods are now being
made by wooden mill in New York.
Almost every day we hear of some
manufacturing concern in the United
States which has beaten foreign com
petitors for big contracts. American
shoes, American carpets, American
steel and iron. American machines
and implements of various kinds
American cottoDs and woolens-
these are some of the articles for
which the foreign demand is steadily
increasing There never was year
in our history when our exports OF
manufactures increased as fast as
they did last year, or reached any
thing like 50 great a total. What do
our manufacturers want with more
protection?

bill to Favor Crime"

Wilmington Messenger.
The bill to increase the Jurisdiction
of magistrates looks to an outsider,
not a professional, as bid for ras-
cality and crime 1t proposes to fine
a fellow who tries to kill you with a
deadly weapon for not more than
$50, or Imprisonment for thirty
days, and this punishment is all be-
cause the Effort to murder failed and
only half killed you, but from which
you afterwards recovered. If that is
not burlesque on justice and bid
for scoundrels to do their devilish
work, then we are mistaken in it. A
fellow who totes around a So pistol
"spilin' for a fight" is liable to
thirty days impris comment, while
the fellow with a deadly weapon
seeks to kill but fails is only to re-
ceive the same. How ridiculous
How shameful There is also an,
other feature of the marvellous bill
that invites rogues to be careful not
to steal more than $40 worth. He
may even 90 so high. or be content
with 80 rs, and not get more than a
trifing punishment. This bill ought
to be called a "bill to Favor Crime
by Mitigating Punishment"

"
OF what Democratic Legislature
that ever sat at Raleigh has it been
said or limited, by friend or foe, that
it's members were purchasable and
that corruption controlled their
votes for Senator or anything or
anybody else? Yet Senator Butler
says that corruption secured the
election of Senator Pritchard and
that members of his own lSenator
Butler's) party are the legislators
who have been corrupted. This is
the spectacle that reform" has to
offer in North Carolina.

WHAT has become of that resolu-
ton to Investigate charges of fraud
in connection with the Senatorial
election? Even if the result of the
election cannot be changed, it would
be well enough to find out just how
matters stand. And then, to 'reso-
lutte" to investigate, and not investi-
gate, raises sort OF suspicion that
there may be some truth lodged in
the charge. Turn on the light and
let's see about it.
MARK HANNA is credited with the
conception of scheme for promot-
ing goldbug education, by which
arrangements are to be made with
publishers of 'patent insides," used
by large number of country week
lies, to print from one to three
columns of printed matter in all
issues sent out. This scheme is not
entirely new by any means. A SINH
lar racket was worked during the
campaign. Publishers who accepted
the proposition were furnished with
goldbug plate matter free of cost,
except the freight on the plates.

The Georgia Antitrust Law

Atlanta Journal.
The journal has received from
many States requests for copies CT
the Georgia antitrust law. In some
instances these requests have come
from members of legislatures who
stated that they intended to intro
duce antitrust bills. The Georgia
law has attracted especial attention
beeauee it proved so speedily effec
tive. A bill that will stop the opera
tions OF trusts in q State has natur-
ally attracted very general atten-
ton. The Georgia bill has been in
troduced in four or Eve legislatures,
and it is probable that several other
States will soon have anti trust laws
copied after ours. The Alabama
house of representatives last Satur-
day, without a dissenting voice,
passed a bill which copies the Georgia
law exactly. 1t is said that it will
certainly pass the senate and become
a law at the present session.
The Georgia Legislature seems to
have set the antitrust ball rolling at
a lively rate. Let FER roll.
