TAX ASSESSMENTS.

North Carolina has been having a reck-
oning with her Taxpayers. A new assess
ment of property has been completed,
coveries. In many cases property was as
sessed at merely nominal value, and it
is said that In one case a man worth
500 600 was found to be paying no taxes
at all. The returns from nearly one hun
bred counties indicate that the valuation
for taxation will be increased about
twenty-five per cent,
Whatever may be said about the. old
principle of equal and uniform TAXATION
there is no sort Of doubt that assess
ments should be equal and uniform, by
which we mean to say that there should
be some uniform rule for making assess
n.ents Lands everywhere should be as
sessed according to their market value,
and personal property should be assessed
by the same rule But this rule has not
been. enforced in Virginia, as everybody
knows In some cases lands are assessed
up to their full market value. while in
other cases the assessment Is ridiculously
low, and as for personal property, each
and every community seems to be law
unto itself, as we have several times
shown by citing the returns made to the
Auditor of Public Accounts. The assess
ment should be so nearly uniform
as 40 make every man bear his fair and
Just part of the public burden, no more,
no less. and there ought to be some way
OF getting at very large class of peo-
pic in the State who own no visible prop
erty, but who have good incomes, yet
escape taxation altogether. If the State
should farm out its revenues, you may
| be sure that every man who ought to pay

THE REAL NEGRO pRoBLE EN-

Last week, while citizen OF Richmond
was walking with a lady friend along
the Broad Street road, three negroes set
upon them. beat him into insens!bility.
and dragged his terrified companion into
a neighboring field. where they attempted
to make an .unmentionable assault upon
her.
This week negro attempted to as

but, being frightened off. lay in walt for
two girls who We're passing along the
road, and attacked them in the most
brutal manner.
We have several times said of late that
In view OF these frequent assaults, all
negro men are more or less under suspi-
cian. BY this We have not meant 10
say. as was explained, that all negro
uasn are capable OF this terrible crime.
But they are all more or less under sus-
picion. How could It be otherwise? How
are the whites to Discriminate How are
they TO know which negroes are to be

The negro who was on the rampage in
Chesterfield approached the lady whom
he assaulted In friendly spirit. apps-

then for a drink Of water She had no

CANNON AND CURRENCY.

Tho washington Post LEADS US 10 vs.
lieve that Mr.. Cannon will pay visit to
oyster Bay very soon, and that while
there he will discuss the currency ques-
ton with the President; also. that Mr.
cannon will be ready to accept the light.
az it is presented to him. by his host
we hope SO. The President Is very
much In favor of currency reform. AS
patriot and as a politician--if it is posi-
BILE for man to be both-he must neneVe
that 1t will be vastly TO the interest OF
this country to have the national banking
law SO amended that 1t will have a proper
degree OF elasticity about it. On the other
hand. Mr.. Cannon thinks no changes are
necessary or desirable.
What makes Mr.. Cannon's views Of
great moment is that he Is slated to De
the Speaker OF the House Of Representa-
lives and In that despotic position nc
can Kill almost any legislation to which
he is opposed. Therefore, 1t is to he
earnestly hoped that the resident Will
convert him from the error OF his finan-
cial ways.
AS we have said before, and more than
once, we cannot doubt that the President
Is sincere in his expressions favoring cur
rency reform. He cannot desire his party
to enter the presidential campaign with
record of duty wholly. neglected. He
would prefer to be able to point with
pride" to a sensible law, which, while
safeguarding the soundness Of the cur
rency in every respect, would prove to be
elastic enough to meet the demands Of
OF the business world.
No wonder the President takes great
interest in this subject. No wonderahe
should wish to talk with Mr. Cannon, and
we hope he will talk him over to his side.
The Post says Mr.. Cannon always has
been "a man of compromise" which Is
encouraging. We learn from 1t also that
the agitation in New York for currency
legislation "has reached a. feverish state,
and some are predicting that it will be the
dominant issue In the campaign of 1904
overshadowing the tariff and the trusts"
And 1t ADDS that 1t Is noted that all the
time Senator Aldrich has been keeping
very quiet, Notwithstanding the storm
ra ging over the measure which he almost
passed through the Senate toward the
close OF the session. There will Be no
surprise" the Post Furthermore says, 1T
the astute Rhode Islander comes forth in
the late autumn complete master of the
situation with both House and Senate
Republican. in the main, compliant as to
the general programme"
And SO 1t looks to us. Mr.. Roosevelt Is
as good as nominated for the presi-
dency already, but he wants his pathway
to election" smoothed as far as posi-
ble Hence he has asked, and will ask
again, for currency legislation. We are
inclined TO think that his party will
oblige him, hut we have no idea In pre-
cisely what form the Republican measure
of relief will be presented. But let us
hope that they will present to the coun-
try a measure which will be approved by
the sound sense Of the American people
irrespective Of party and not bill in

ficuttes of a presidential campaign.

FILTER A FAILURE.

The water commissioners for the city
OF Wilmington. Del, have decided to
abandon the present water filter built
few years ago at a cost OF $4,000. as the
filter has failed to remove the impurities
in the water. Hereafter the city water
will not be filtered.
This would indicate that Richmond has
done well to make her experiments with
settling basin, rather than with a filter,
and it Is to be hoped that the device
which this city proposes to try will meet
the requirements, These settling basins
have proven to be successful in other
places whereas the Wilmington filter has
proven to be failure.
