The News and Observer today
says:
"The late unlamented Legislature
cost the State about the same as did
the General Assembly of 1865.
"That body of law makers cost
the tax payers, in cool cash, just
$72,266.74, besides several thousand
dollars worth of printing, &c.
up to date the Legislature OF
1897 has cost $780, ,483-O3. But there
are still about $4,000 of unpaid
bills. Many of the clerks have not
yet drawn their pay and stationery
bills have not been settled Nor il

The trusts are to be paid for their
immense contributions to the Nc
Kinley campaign fund.
The Sugar trust is the first to get
it's money back, as appears from the
following Washington dispatch:
The Sugar Trust is again victori-
GUS, the sugar schedule of the new
tariff as fixed by the Ways and
Means Committee today carrying
one and hve-eights cents per pound
on all raw sugar, which means a
clear profit of one-eighth of a cent
on each pound for the trust.
A reciprocity paragraph permits
of certain reductions running down
to one and one half cents with coun-
tries making satisfactory reciprocal
conventions. A differential of one
eighth cent per pound is added on
refined sugar. The present rate Is
forty per cent ad valorem. The
committee expects that the new tax
will raise over $20,O00,OO0 of reve'
nue.. 1t has not estimated the prolit
of the trust.
The result, then, after a week.
discussion, is that the rate stands a
one and five-eighths. 1t will enable
the trust to make a $4,0OO,OOC
bonus. 1t is just SO much none,
found.
Hon. Marcus Aurelius Hanna
ling-master of the Senate, will se
that the debts due the trusts by tn
administration are paid in goo'

Watch the new tariff

IT is said the first move in the
fight for the control of the Demo-
cratic party will be made at the
caucus in Washington tomorrow
night. One hundred and eighteen
Democrats are expected to attend
the caucus, and sixty will be neces-
sary for nomination. 1t is claimed
that an attempt will then be made
to nominate for speaker man hos
tile to Mr., Bryan. Whether this
can be done, remains to be seen.
The gold standard men, who call
themselves Democrats, hope by this
means to prevent Mr.. Bryan'S noml-
nation in the next campaign. But,
whatever this caucus may do, Mr..
Bryan is the choice of vast majority
of the Democrats who stood by the
party last November, and no tlimsy
manipulation of house caucus can
affect this deep-seated conviction IN
the hearts of the masses Of the party.

THE legislature passed law re-
quiring teachers of public schools 10
read aloud to their pupils at least
twice each session the constitution of
the United States and the conStitu-

But "a very good departure it seems

CONGRESSMAN Romulus Z. Lii

CONGRESSMAN Romulus Z. Lin
ney says:
"There is an impossible gulf be
tween Butler and the Republican
party. Butler cannot stand alone.
His only chance is in the formation
of some kind of com bine and | pre-
dict that since the Democrats have
been twice defeated they will accept
Butler as their leader"
The mind of the Hon. Romulus
L. is like a cor screw curl, and has
many windings. He himself was
put into place by Populistic combi-
nation, and his straddle Of the finan-
cial question is only equalled by a
Black Crook dancer. He is suppos
ed to believe in protection to all,
by the coinage Of the American
product Of silver at most any old
ratio; the sum total of his opinions
being that Linney should return tc
Congress.
Linney may yet be found trying
to swim across the ''impassable gulf
that lies between the Republic ans
and Populists.

The New York Suns Washing
ton correspondent says:
Senator Pritchard's troubles as
Republican boss of North Carolina
are rapidly multiplying, and unless
he can make his peace with Gov.
Russell aud some of the members OF
his delegation, all of the Federal
appointments in that State will be
hung up for an indefinite period. He
was at the White House again today,
but he could not get any satlstac-
ton from the President.
This news will come as a sad
shock to the many aspiring gentle
men in this region who have been
consoling themselves that whatever
else might be swept away, Pritchard
still was firm. He was the anchor
that was embedded in the pie-rock
of Mckinley.
Many Republicans down here dc
not believe Mckinley could have
been nominated or elected without
Pritcbard.
They thought David and Jona
than were cool toward each Other
when compared with the relations
existing between Pritchard and Nc
Kinley.
1t will slowly dawn upon then
that there are others quite as warn
as Jeter the Great.
