To tax or not to tax the Porto Ricans
is still the absorbing question in Con
gress, and the outcome Of the preseLt
diversity of opinion can not be cor
rectly foretOld, though there are ru-
mors that the House bill, imposing q
Is per cent. duty on Porto Rican prod :
ucts will be passed by the Senate.
There are quite q numOer Of Repub-
lican Senators from theWest who want
free trade, and fear the result Of an
import duty on Porto Rican products,
for it seems that there will be revolt
il the tax feature of the bill is passed.
Senator Pritchard Friday appeared
before the House Committee on Inva-
lid Pensions and urged the passage of
the bill to remove the inhibition
against granting pensions to ex Con-
federate soldiers who served in the
Mexican and Indian wars.
A delegation from Greensboro, con-
sisting of A. M. Scales, A. L. Brooks,
r. D. Douglas, J. w. Scott and Capt.

appeared before the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, urg-
ing that the bill to enlarge and improve

passed.
Impressive speeches were made in
the Senate Saturday afternoon, the oc-
casion being the presentation by the
State of Indiana of a statue of Oliver
p. Morton to be placed in Statuary
Hall. 1t is singular that, with all the
great men North Carolina gave to the
nation she has not placed in enduring
form in StatGary Hall a memorial to
perpetuate the memory and heroic
deeds of her great sons.
Senator Pritchard left Friday night
for Western North Carolina and will
be gone several days on speaking
tour against the proposed scheme to
disIrauchise illiterate white men.
From the informal on obta Ned here
the people in the western part of the
State are thoroughly aroused and Bit
terly opposed to the measure.

believe a man can be a Democrat

During campaign year it requires
some courage for q party newspaper
TO critise any act of it's party, or
intimate that us party ever did any
thing it should not have done or left
undone anything il should have done.
IL is gratifying, therefore to find one
paper the Winston Sentinel, PUTTING
aside the temporary interest OF its
party long enough 70 tell the refresh
ing truths contained in the following
paragraph. The Sentinel says:
when the legislature meets in June
il should make some Efforts to undo
the terrible botchery it com mitted
In passing that so-called anti trust
law. We thought at the time that
IL was worthless makeshift, IL not
deception. Subsequent events, or
rather the lack Of subee q ent events,
have not changed this opinion. Has
anybody heard of single trust be-
ing suppressed or even molested In
the slightest degree oy this lawf
This is serious matter and will
have to be confronted by the Demo-
cratic party in the coming campaign,
unless more Stringent law against
trust is passed. The people are ask
ing for bread and .hev are not con-
tent with receiving q stone. Let
the Democratic Legislators take
warning and do something that
means something towards relieving
the people from the oppression of

Madison Enterprise.
In the approaching campaign in
North Carolina, which now promises
to be bitter one, it is the duty of
everyman VINO assumes the duty of
citizenship to dispassionstely dis
charge that duty, and what that duty
is he must determine by a careful
study himself.
Those who seek TO enlighten pub
lie sentiment too often have no other
purpose than to arouse prejudice
which destroys even an honest pur-
pose to arrive at q correct conclusion.
Each individual vote is RESI- onslble
to himself and his county for his
vote and such being the case he
ought to exercise his privileges with
an honest discretion. Be not de-
ceived and led astray by infamma-
tory speeches, but act for yourself
and that without exeeitment.
Campaign years are not favorable
to religious and educational advance
ment because unnecessary excite
ment is allowed to obscure these
great objects. This should not be.
These objects are the pillows On
which our political prosperity itself
rests, and it is foolish and criminal
t. permit ourselves to be diverted
from our duty along this line. LIE,
each citizen faithfully consider what
his duty is, and then have the cour.
age to perform it and that with
out prejudice toward those who SEE
their duty in different light

IT OUL NOT BE SAFE.

Republican success is just as
essential to the welfare of the
country as it was four years ago.
He is indeed blind who, looking
back to the last presidential cam
paign, cannot now perceive that
the election of Bryan would have
been a grave misfortune to the
American people. It would have
precipitated a financial panic. This
he himself foresaw and admitted
during the campaign Of 1896.
The election Of Mckinley averted
this crisis and brought to the
country prosperity instead of
financial ruin. It preserved and
strengthened the national credit.
whereas Organism could not have
failed to destroy it.
The contention Of the Republi-
cans in the last campaign was that
the free silver theory was wrong.
Bryan and his supporters declared
it to be right. They declared that
the gold standard meant ruin; that
there could be no prosperity for
the country under it; that the
price of wheat was regulated by
the price Of silver, and that unless
their theories were enforced the
American people would never
again see prosperous times.
Subsequent results have proved
that they did not know what they
were talking about. The Republi-
cans triumphed. the gold standard
became an established fact and
the weight of industrial depression
that rested upon the country from
the beginning to the close of the
Cleveland administration was
lifted. The times began to grow
brighter the very next day after
the election, for the reason that
the business interests of the
country realized that the threat Of
Organism had been averted.
But strange as it may seem, the
old hobby of 16 to l is still alive.
Bryan rides it today just as he did
four years ago. The wisest Demo

She decided that the only way to-
run a house economically was to keep
q set Of books, so she made all neces-
sary purchases, including a bottle Of
red ink, and started in.
It was a month later when her hus-
band asked her how she was getting

"Splendidly," she replied.
"The system is a success, them"

"Sixty dollarsv" he exclaimed. "Heav-

As early as 1893, there being l., war

The Lecturer. Blunder.

One of the institutions of New York
that are praised by all the public with
out reserve is the course Of free lee
lures in the public schools. These lee
lures are given before splendid audi
ences and, as a rule, by persons Of
veracity and intelligence. Occasion
ally, however. in order, to get lecture
on a rare subject great risks are run.
Recently a lecture was given by q
person who had been on an excursion
to the North cape. Among other won
derful things he saw there; was the
eclipse Of the sun. He gasped for
breath as. he told Of the weirdly grand
sight He told, OF the streamers Of fire
that bfazed from the .obscured orbit
all quarters Of the heavens. But his
frenzy carried him too far for 4 public
school audience, for he declared that
among the stars made visible, in the
midst Of day he saw the planets cir
cling in their courses. He even. called
the planets that he saw, by but
he made q fatal mistake. He said he
saw Neptune. ''t 49, sssi.-
A4This=statement called for q ronndrof
sarcastic applause that he mistook; for
commentator, for he smiled In hap
py way as 1t echoed through the halls.
Evidently he did not know that Nep-
tune is invisible except with the most
powerful telescope.-New York Mail

success. They have, therefore,
nothing to regret, except their
losses, and the fact that their sac
rifces and their heroism have been
of no avail.
1t now remains to be seen how
England will treat a people who
by their deeds of bravery have
proved themselves worthy to pos
sess all the rights Of free govern
ment. So chivalrous a foe de-
serves generous consideration at
the hands Of the conqueror, but
we fear that Dom Paul and his
burghers will not fare we'll, now
that they are helpless and bleeding
at the feetof the British lion. The
beast has been thoroughly aroused
by the terrible resistance he has
encountered and is apt to feel in
anything but a generous mood.
The vanquished, under such con-
ditions, can expect little consider
alton and might as we'll nerve
themselves for the worst. The
Transvaal Republic has run its
course.
