AN INTEREsTING sKIFF RACE.


There was an exciting skiff race on
the river yesterday afternoon. The
course over which the race was run is
about ten miles in length. 1t begins at
Delaware street wharf and extends to
the gas buoy, thence to the
white buoy, to the poplar buoy,
and back TO the wharf. The starters
and their commanders were: Evening
Star, commanded by John McCaughan;
Madge. by George Wilson; La Colin
drina, by George Duncan, and Evan B.,
by Harry Lancaster. They started OF
nicely and the race promised to be in
teresting. II was not long, however, un-
til Evan b. met with an accident. the
sheet rope broke, and no sooner had IT
been spliced than the jib-sheets carried
away. "A series of misfortunes happen
ed. and finally Mr.. Lancaster he1ded
for the Delaware street wharf and gave
up the race. The Evening Star out
sailed it's rivals being a mile ahead OF
la Golindrina at the finish, with Madge
third. The Evening Star swamped near
the poplar bouy on the home stretch
and George Barr went overheard. she
recovered in time to win.

PUBLIC OPINION.

Were a wise statesman to arrange an
~untenable situation for the opposite
party, he would not need to change
the conditions which the republicans
have prepared for themselves. The bill
which they are about to pass contains
nearly every element OF unpopularity.
and can be defended on no considers
tons Of revenue It is intended TO di-
minish imports n to increase the
profits Of great combinations Of capt.
talists, whereas what Is needed Is an
increase Of customs revenue. and what
is popular Is to curtail the gains Of the
monopolists. Were the democrats in
position to take the field. they could
fall on their enemies, fan and rear.
and out them with both reason and
sentiment. The democrats, however.
have succeeded IN throwing away not
only their strategic advantages, but
also their arms and ammunition. They
have made nearly every biunde that
they could have made. They have in
the first place fallen out with n an
other as to what they o claim to
representative York Evening Post.
The Hon. Marcus Aurelius Hanna,
enato from Ohio and grand sachem
OF the republican party. is a haunted
and a hunted man. If be true
he has about reached that stage of
mental anguish where he is ready to
call for the Mountains to fall upon him
and hide him forever from the wrath
of the office seeker coming and to
come. Only a brief yea ago and this
avant courier of a political millenni-
UNI was robust, sleek, hopeful, dictato-
ria and happy. He was rubbing his
hands in smiling satisfaction with all
things and parceling out the hundred
thousand or more civil pieces Of gov
eminent among his admiring and OBJ
SeQuiOus followers, with a complacency
born of the first innocent and unsus-
pecting grasp Of power. Success waited
upon him until enate and cabinets
were reorganized for his benefit and
he was crowned with the green bays Of
a glorious triumph. But now-how are
the mighty shrunken! He is said to be
laboring under a great strain. The bold
eye has become timid and restless, the
powerful and defiant tone has fallen
to a discreet and cautious whisper,
appetite has gone, Railways and al
cOves and corners are viewed with sus-
piciOn and trepidation, and he bolts
from post to pillar, when the coast is
clear, like some hunted criminal dodg-
ing the avengers. For awhile he was
locked in his hotel; then he escaped
to Ohio; then back to Washington,
where an asylum for a night or two
was offered him in the White house.,
but now he is on the run again.-Hous-
ton Post.

The Messenger has more than once
called attention to the great inequali-
ties in valuation of property in North
Carolina. Some ten years ago it urged
the necessity of having a state board to
fix the values so as to have a better
system and more equal results. OF
course lands are more fertile in some
counties than in others. Cabarrus
most of the Eastern counties. But the
contrasts in valuation are violent in
the same section. Lincoln is $6.16 and
Mcdowell but s1.S5. Why this great
difference? Chatham lands are prob
ably as good as Franklin, and much Of
the same kind, but the former is $500
and the latter 1878. Bladen is put at
$1.90. Then look at the under valuation
Of lands that sell high. Why should
it be allowed hat lands should be list
ed at Sc, and sell at s23, cash per acre.?
Is there no way to reach such false
swearing-such cheating of the state?
If the taxes were paid according to law,
and the valuations were fairly and hon
estly made, the income Of the state
would be one-half greater than it is,
and the public hoO would have am
pie funds for long terms and qualified
to be desired in North Carolina.
