Resolutions Adopted Mid Disorder.
Many Favored No Instructions.


Many Of the leading Democrats be-
lieve that if a good rousing speech in ia
vor Of an uninstructed delegation was
made before the convention, that e reso-
luton to that effect would have pre-
vailed. They claimed that there was a
strong undercurrent favoring that plan
as shown by the resolutions adopted by
a number Of district conventions 1t is

supporters will in no sense go into the
convention in the interests Of Judge Park

TAX RETURNS.

1t has always been to US most puz-
zling why the law requires a man to
swear to the correctness of his tax
return, and at the same time provide
for board Of assessors, to come right
behind this sworn return and make
such changes as in their opinion is
right and proper, ignoring the fact
that the man who made the return is
equally as honest and conscientious
as any member of the board. The
statute laws Of this State have many
strange Inconsistencies. We are
fully persuaded of one thing, that
the selection Of the board Of equaliza-
tion or assessors should be made
purely with regard to their fitness
and ability, and not their political
Influence or personal popularity.
They should be owners of both real
and personal property.

SKULL SHOALS FREE FERRY.

The complaints made about the
unsafe and unsatisfactory transpor-
tation across the river at Skull Shoals
are doubtless magnified and should
not reflect upon the supervisor Of
either county. After the bridge was
washed away the river had to be ford
ed, the ford proved to be very rough,
dangerous and inconvenient for the
travelling public. then came the re-
quest for ferry, as it was at the
time impossible to build a bridge at
once. A fiat boat 10 40 feet, for
the small sum of $25, was put in and
ferryman employed at fifty cents
per day; this was the best arrange
ment that could be made at the time
for the accommodation of the public.
We are informed that this Is only a
temporary arrangement and as little
expense as possible has been incurred,
with view to the fact that good
bridge will be built as early as prac-
ticable. This and other counties
doubtless sustained heavier losses by
floods last year than ever before ia
the same length Of time.

A few days before Christmas the
State Constables were very active in
the seizure OF packages of la6b glhai6sbke5y, y,
whom some of the packages were con-
signed. An officer should exercise
discretion in matters Of this kind
and thereby save trouble and ex-
pense. Many of the seizures were
made while packages were in the Gus
tody of the Exprefs Company. Such
seizures are in direct violation OF the
law, since the decision of our Su-
preme Court, (opinion by Justice
Wood,) such seizures can only be
made, while the package is in the
possession Of the consignee. We
recommend with pleasure an officer
who does his duty, and are always
glad when a violator of the law is
caught and punished. We do not
charge the constables with over.step-
ping their authority, as we are in
they were following instruc-
tions; but we do think they ought to
make an investigation before ship

greater majority of older, mature and
experienced men than has been chosen
for the past few years. In filling the

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

The Cuban reciprocity issue has
been for the past two years DISCUSSED
by all the newspapers. The great
wonder has been why Congress so de-
layed an act which seems to have
been favored by majority of the
people. There was apparently moth
ing to be gained by delay. The New
York Evening Journal says that il
means "cheap raw sugar and cheap
labor for the trusts" and for the
people high prices and bunco. We
quote:
"Before the trusts-tobacco and
sugar-carred out their plan about
doing something for Cuba, they first
started in to do something for them
selves.
''In the first place, they got control
of Cuba's tobacco and sugar. Hav
ing done that, they planned to get
rid Of the unpleasant duty which had
hitherto compelled them to give to
the United States Government part
Of their earnings.
There is still another feature of
this intelligent trust legislation, just
adopted by the Republicans, with the
approval of some Democrats.
And that is the Chinese labor
feature.
'The tobacco trust and sugar trust
are going to employ great deel of
labor in Cuba, now that they control
sugar and tobacco there
"And they have not only arranged
to take away the work of the Ameri-
can cigar-maker and the American
beet-root farmer
They have also planned-very in
telligently-a little surprise for the
Cnbans-namely the introduction Of
Chinese coolie labor into Cuba.
eight hundred Chinese coolies
have been brought into Cuba in the
last year just as a starter.
''It is safe to say that number will
soon swell from eight hundred to
eight thousand, or as many as our
American trusts may require for their
Cuban estates.
eve shall have a big Ceinese la
Dor colony just a few miles from our
door. And if the trusts go on with
their reciprocity, the people of the
| United States, in addition to using
sugar grown by Chinese coolies.. may
hava thari-.--urv or consuming 6
| great deal Of other Chinese produce
"There is nothing to prevent the
other trusts from making their ar
rangements in Cuba, and then ex
tending the .beneficept system of re
Iciprccity with u Chinese back
ground"
A phase Of the matter that ha
been little discussed is suggested i,
the following Washington despatch
"The British Government ha
served formal notice on the State De
partmcnt that under the favored-na
ton clause it expects that Britis
sugar from the British WAs+ Ja6a1
Tsugaf, and it is not doubted that Ger
many, France, Austria, and othe
great beet-sugar-producing countrie
will do likewise. A decision of At
torney-General Olney, in Presiden
Cleveland's Administration was ad
verse to such demands, but the ques
promises to be reopened with vigor.

De- rember having sold high as 10 4S compared with 1928 one week ago With the close of the week results of the large move ment irto sight were visible in a bearish visible supply statement, and weather con ditions being moe favorable in conse- uuence in soasonable showers, prices shaded easier for contracts as well as for spots
 the demand for the latter having fallen off some. Exporters have but a few days left with which to complete September en- gagement. but it is probable September en- contracts have about been filled. otherwise there would have been more doing in spots the past day or two than which was re- ported. With tho passing of September the n ade will take np the matter of what the next Government crop condition report will show in the way of deterioration in pIa it during the past thirty days all reports being sent into the Government win tho close of tomorrow.

THE FINANCIER,s STATEMENT.

NEW YORK. s'pt. 24.-The Financie, says th,s week: Ono notable feature or the official statement of the New 1orK Associated Banks last week was the d' crease. for the first time tsiuce the week ending August 27, of loans and deposits, ts the former by s2,454.0oO and the latter by s1G. .l23. 500. making the net increase Tn loans since the above date of s39,447,0Oo and tho deposits of $6,7GC 200. The cash reserve shoyed loss last week of s5.633,0oo. which very nenrly corresponds with the loss as es- tinlated upon the tasis of the traceaole movements of :noney jurir 2 rhe week, there being a difference of only sih5,60O. The required reserve was reduced through the decrease in deposits by $2. oSo.S75. which sum deducted f., m the loss of cash lcft S3,10G,125 as th, Ieduction in surplus re- serve to s25,251.075 Computed on the basis of deposits, less those of s23,437,lo0 public funds the surplus is 32,11u,350. The de crease of $2,454,0 900 Tn loans as above stated was probably due to the liquidation of speculative acccuDts in the stock market during the weak. th' resul. of the unld- vorable reports to the yield of corn The statement failed to balance, the sum of the reduction In loans and of the loss of cash being g. 03s, 800 less than the de- crease in deposits. Circulation increased s6l1,000.
