cause applied to the pursuit of agricul-
ture in the most conspicuous instance in
which specific and manifest protection is
given to the farmer; and at the moment
when the sugar beet industry is not only
in it's infancy, but in an infancy so lusty
and promising as to demonstrate the
certainty of a rapid and prodigious
growth. The American market for over
100, 100000 worth of sugar annually is
rightfully the American farmers. We
shall encourage no policy which delays
the time when he shall come into his
own
The manifesto declares the 20 per cent
reduction proposition to be denial of
Republican reciprocity which is corol-
larry to the greater policy of protection.
William Alden Smith, of Michigan,
made rousing speech of over an hour
against reciprocity. While announcing
great admiration for the President he in
sisted that there should be no executive
interference with the legislative branch
of the Government. He also assailed
the organization of the House for leading
the party into disaster, and paid his
respects to some of the members of the
Ways and Means Committee who, he as
serted, have changed their positions on
the reciprocity question within the last
few weeks. AS the evening advanced
considerable bad blood was manifested.
The opponents of reciprocity seemed con-
fident of majority and were anxious for
a vote, while the friends of reciprocity
counseled against precipitate action.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, made an appeal
for harmony and strongly advised against
hasty action. He said that the Sibley
proposition would be satisfactory to
him. He was followed by Mr. Dick, of
Ohio, who favored an amendment of the
reciprocity scheme.

Hurt by a Bull.

Mr.. Dial N. Crawford was knocked down
and gored by a bull yesterday morning
on Wilmington street. and quite badly
hurt. He had gone to the home of Mr..

ing the bull by ring in the animal S
nose, to which a stick was attached.
While on North Wilmington street, near
the office of DR.. Lewis and DR.. Battle,

lunge at Mr.. Crawford, knocking him
down and goring him. Several men went
to the rescue and Mr.. Crawford has been
carried to Rex Hospital and the bull
placed in the city lot.

DR.. r. w. Thomas, of Thomasville. who

the best men in North Carolina. He had
lived long and we'll, had long followed
the arduous duty of a physician in a

DR.. Thomas was a man of many vir-
tues. He believed in industry, economy,
thrift, straightforwardnes and upright
ness, and he illustrated these virtues in
his long life. He was a man of deeds.
rather than words, and his deeds illus
trated the best traditions of North Caro-
lima. He was a patriotic son of the

given the character of worth and sturdi-
ness ard integrity to this good State.

New Orleans, La, March 12.-As Liver
pool advices were not favorable our mar
ket opened unchanged but Immediately
after that became firm and advanced IL
points on outside buying on the report
that a New York operator would issue a
bullish circular showing that the I'M
counted town stocks were much less than
a year ago. The semi weekly receipts at
the tS leading interior towns were 80, 600
against 81 900 last year, the loss in stock
being 10000 as compared to loss of A.
900 last year. Manchester cabled Off
cially that short time was increasing in
yarns. Fall River wires that the oper-
atives hold a meeting tonight and are
likely to approve a strike unless higher
wages are granted. Sentiment continues
very bullish on the assumption that
stocks are depleted in the interior and
that the long expected perpendicular drop
IN receipts will certainly materialize short
ly. The reiteration of statement which has
been the feature for over IL weeks even
though it has never been realized has
not lost its charm with the speculative
public To make the crop only 10, 000, 900
there must be a loss from now out of over
100000 under last year and a loss of
$4,000 during the same time. If the
crop is 10,5O0,000 therefore it can be read
lily seen that there must be decided de-
crease in the movement from the balance
of the season to bring out either of the
above figures. In the meanwhile the de-
mand for spots has become restricted and
short time is increasing in Manchester,
consequently we still think it advisable
to pursue a conservative policy for the
moment. II. G. B. BEER

HiLO IS COMING
OUT ALL RIGHT
Loebenstein Talks About Com.
mercial Outiook-Effect
OF Storms.

#Hilo has a fine commercial future, IS
Said \. B. Loebenstein last evening at
the Hawaiian hotel. There is consid-
cradle business activity and it is grad
! ually increasing. The fact that the
principal firms here have established
, branch houses in Hilo shows that it's
trade is sought. The railroad has OPP
ened up possibilities for trade and has
already proven factor in its develop
ment- The new dock which is about to
be constructed will be a fine thing for
the city, inasmuch as the pioneer
steamer of the new line, the Enter
prise. will soon be making Hilo its ter
minal port, and this will open the way
for the establishment of a regular line
of steamers between the coast and
Hilo. The good that will come to the
city through this medium will benefit
Honolulu, for what enhances one local
ity is certainly shared by other local
tiles.
I'VE have had some very heavy
storms on Hawaii recently, and the
recent storms washed away some of the
culvertS. The loss of the culvertS has
taught us a lesson. They We're well
built, and to all intents and purposes
seemed to be we'll adapted TO the coun-
try, and we were lulled into a sense of
security. But the freshets which tore
down some of the gulches showed their
weakness. Heavy logs from up the
mountains came down with the tor
rents. lodged against the culverts, caus-
ing the water gradually to back up un-
til at last a weak place in the struc-
ture was found and over 1t went. 1 be-
lieve the best thing is for span bridges
to be placed over these gullies which
would leave plenty of space beneath for
all manner Of floods and debris to hur-
~ on toward the sea without hindu
rance.
II have only the highest praise for
the manner in which the Public Works
Department handled the bridging of
these gullies, after the storms we had
a few months ago and those of a couple
of weeks since. The prompt response
of the development and the ready ac-
auiescence with which the requests for
assistance were met, is worthy of
praise

Need Not
Pay.

The Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany is exempted from the payment OF
| income tax by virtue OF the franchise
granted by the government, under q
unanimous decision handed down yes
| terday by the Supreme Court.
| The opinion is written by Justice Gal
braith, and concurred in by Justice
Perry. but two members of the court
sitting in the hearing.
The suit was before the Supreme
Court on an agreed submission of facts
| with the Tax Assessor. ]. w. Pratt.
The following is the syllabus:
A tax on income is in substance and
effect tax on the property producing
the same.
from taxation by contract. authorized
by statute, is also exempt.
An annual subsidy granted by the
legislature is not fairly necessary to
the reasonable construction, operation
and maintenance" Of a railroad after
the road is completed and being oper-
ated at profit; nor is such subsidy
exempt from taxation under a contract
eNeupting all the property of the rail-
road fairly necessary TO the reasona-
BILE construction, operation and mann
tenance" Of the railroad.
In the submission four questions were
presented for the decision OF the Su-
preme Court. To the first question. rs
the plaintiff wholly exempt from taxa
ton on its income" a negative reply is
returned, the plaintiff conceding that
the exemption OF income from taxation
cannot extend further than the eXemp-
come is derived
AS 10 the second question the court
holds that the Oahu Railway and Land
Co. lis exempt from taxation on the in
come derived from property fairly nee
essary TO the reasonable construction,
maintenance and operation of the
road" this having been one of the pro-
visions OF the company's franchise. to
hold good for twenty years. The Tax
Assessor contended that of the $780,
Si6.S3 OF gross income, S207. $50 was de-
rived from property not necessary to
the construction and maintenance.
To tax this gross income, the court
holds. would be "a violation of the
terms OF the contract, exempting such
property from all taxes for a term OF
twenty years"
The court further holds that the
wharves. warehouses. scales, ETC., are
not taxable. the income being S31 1886
for wharfage. 1916 for storage and
$3.46s for use OF plaintiffs scale.
The subsidy of s42. 700 the court holds
is properly a subject Of taxation. On

forming there the headwaters of the
Piscataway and of one of the branches
of the Patuxent, flowing thence into the
