The passing of the bill to do
away with all State tax to manu-.
facturers would reduce the revenue
OF the State between $35, 900 and
940, 600. which, IT is contended, the
State Cannot afford to lose. The
bill Will have careful considera.
tion at the hands OF he me m bcrs
of the Legislature and its tate &c
clded by them.
The Wilmington daily Republican., 1901-01-25

In all probability the present
Legislature will fix the sal ares the
public officials are TO receive in the
county offices known as the court
house row after the present encum.
.bents terms arc out. Thesa!arjes
are TO be paid instead Of retaining
fees as has been the practice ever
since the Offices were created. Even
the sheriff will be a salaried official
and all fees will then be turned n
to the county treasures in tine sey-
eral counties in which they serve.

NOT IN THE QUARREL.
The United States Not a Party to South American Disturbances.

Baltimore American (Rep).
 There seems to be earnest desire in some quarters to involve the United States in war with n large part of South America, without the slightest pretext. The American consul issues a notice of what the Government will do fionists and it is Immediately seized upon as positive proof that the United States will plunge into war. This consular manifesto fur- nishes evidence that the Government has no intention of going to war It says that in cer- tain contingencies the Government will pro- tect certain property in the city of Colon, which it has promised to protect. and which has been several times protected heretofore under similar circumstances. There Is nothing in this to indicate or provoke war unless one of the .belis,erents deliberately attacks the forces of the United States.
 The Colombian Minister has been misled by this warlike vaporing. In an interview he ssys: 'sOf course if Panama is attacked by the forces of another country (meaning Eeua- dor) the United States, under its guarantee must interfere" The United States never

The Growing Pension List.

New YOrk JOurnaI.
 The annual report of the Commission CT of Pensions shows that thirty-six years after the close of the war there are more pensioners on the rolls than ever before in our history. There are more people drawing pensions from the government today than there were men under arms when our armies were mus tered out at the close of the war. And there is no sign of any slackening of the current. The farther we get away from the war in which these pensions are all legged to have been earned the bigger grows the bill.

 However. 1t was my intention of only addressing Democrats and counselling with Democrats on this matter. l did not seek any aid whatsoever from Pop ulists or others and so the meeting on Saturday was Democratic and was pre- iimlnary 70 warm campaign that VIII be waged."
 When asked whether 1t was intended to call State Convention of those who were opposed to the ratification of the new Constitution, General Shelley said:
 T cannot say as yet what will be done in that direction. Nothing has been de- cided upon and am not yet in position to say what will be done. I am of the opinion that if the Constitution goes be- fore the people for ratification on its merits it will fail. But if the issue is shifted and the campaign is on persons and individuals, then 1t will win. We will organize in every county in the State. We have assurances from almost every community of help. The work will commence at once and all preliminariss will be rushed so that the actual cam paign can start. It is to be a sharp campaign, but as I have stated, if the Constitution Is placed before the people On Its merits 1t will be defeated."'
 General Shelley was seeh- this morn ing in conversation with Major c. J. AL lison. Clerk of the United States Court and a prominent leader of the Republi- can party of Alabama. When asked if his ccnversation with Major Allison had any significance. he replied: Why, no.
