say that l look upon Senator Butler
as at the head of the reform move
ment in North Carolina, and what
eyer else may be said of him, no true
friend of reform can say a word

been gilt edged all the time. All at

yield about S7O,OOO,OOO. The old
tax was 81 per barrel.
Tobacco will rise on the market by
about 100 per cent of the old tax,
the greater portion of which will fall
npon the users of the lower grade
goods.
On issues of stock of 500 value
cents is the stamp duty and 2
cents on each transfer of 500 in
stock. This will strike stock ex.
changes but lightly compared to the
blow struck consumers of beer and
tobacco.
One cent is charged for every
board of trade exchange OF 500 val
uation, and bank checks are to be
stamped 2 cents each and there is no
graduation regarding the amount
involved in the check, aud cents is
the charge for each promissory note
of 500 or fraction thereof, and post

Wyo saying that Col. ]. L. Torrey's
regiment of rough riders was ready
to move except for the delay in the
receipt of their saddles. There has
been a difference of opinion among
the officers the regiment and the
officials as to the saddle best adapted
for the men. The men were all
an GUS to use the style of saddle to
which they had all been accustomed,
while the government officials were
inclined to insist upon the use of the
regular cavalry saddle. The wishes
of the men have been finally acceded
to. The regiment will be started
from Fort Russell at once, and will
get their saddles somewhere along
the route. 1t is understood that the
regiment will go to Tampa and will
be part of the expedition which
will be sent to Porto Rico.
