PETITION FOR AN ELECTION.
Gaaisborn Aaaiu i'm tile TlarsTS of a
Prohibition Campaign
Especial to The Messenger.)


Goldsboro, y. G., August 19.-Golds-
boro is again In the throes of a pro-
hibition campaign. For some days the
people who are anxious for the return
of the open barroom have been busiIy
engaged in securing names to a petit
ton for an election to be held this fail
and in the meantime the prohibition
forces have been holding meetings and
devising ways and means TO defeat the
proposition for barrooms, provided
enough names can be secured. There
seems to be little doubt that the re-
required number of names viii be So
cured, If they are not secured already.
The only thing that has brought the
proceedings to a Standstill is the an
nouncement by a local paper that the
names to the petition. 1t has caused
lished in its columns. This has caused
the timid TO stop and consider whether
they wish TO go Oh public record as
fayoring barrooms. There is no doubt
but what the effect Of the
ment will be felt in securing more
names TO the petition. II has caused
a deeper interest on both sides and will
eventually bring on Il harder fight.
Interest in the election for barrooms
was started some two weeks ago when
at a meeting of the board of aldermen
ii was stated that it was absolutely
necessary TO increase the tax rate. 1t
was explained that the city was in
debt and on ccOun of the loss of
5000 Il year, which was formerly paid
into the city treasury by saloon license,
taxes must be increased in order to
raise money to carry on the city gov
eminent. This gives the anti-prOhi-
bitionists grounds to work on and they
have lost no time since the statements
We're made. In the campaign two
years ago for prohibition, some Of the
speakers and workers on that side
stated that they would pay every cent
of increase that resulted from prohibit
ton. This phase of the subject has
created no little comment and has
caused some of the tax payers to Won
| der if the prohibition speakers Will
| make good. OF course the increasing
| of the tax rate is explained in other
ways by the prOhibitionists, who claim
| that it was bound to come anyway,
but he fact remains hat taxes have
with the masses.
Other arguments for and against
prohibition are made. 1t is claimed
that considerable trade has been driven
away from Goldsboro by prohibition
a statement which is denied by the
prohibitiOnists. The question is being
agitated in many ways, shapes anG
forms and is giving the ward pOlit'
clan an opportunity to engage the at
tentiOn of his constituents.

Our readers will remember the IA
NOUS exclamation of Lord Give when
his conduct as governor of Bengal was
being investigated by the British par
lament. He was Charged with re-
ceiving brides and forcing contribu-
tons to his private purse in the way
of large sums of money and precious
stones from the native rulers in his
province. Give in his defense adj
mitted that he had received presents
of the kind specified. He went ON to
describe the immense stores of gold
and precious stones Of all kinds the
nabobs had-hOw they had taken him
into their strong rooms and shown him
their fabulous wealth and told him to
help himself. He closed with the ex-
clamation: MY God, gentlemen, 1 am
astounded at my w moderation
whenever l call to mind my conduct
on those occasions
Have not the Japanese peace ENJOYS
occasion to quote Lord Give to the
Russian commissioners in regard Il
their demands as the basis for conclud.

EUSSIA'S NEW ASSEMBLY.

The Inauguration Of Russia's repre-
sentative. body is the beginning OF the
end Of ~despotic rule in that country.
It is true that this body now has no
legislative powers. 1t can enact 10
laws. The only real power it has IS
bv a two-third vote Of each house 10
reject any law proposed by the car or
the council of state. Other than this II
is simply a body with power to recon-
mend and to discuss measures. The
car is still absolute ruler and his will
is the law except in SO far as it is re-
strained by the veto power of the as
sembly above mentioned. AS limited
as are the powers of this representa-
tive body it's creation is a long step
toward undermining the autocracy CT
Russia. If this body will fearlessly tx
ercise the veto power gwen to it, 1t
will become a barrier against despot-
ismism. It is true that the car could at
any time he saw fit repeal the law Great
ing this body in the same manner as he
established it; but he will hardly do so.
Revolutions never go backward-and
this is a political revolution for Rus
sia-and the bolder this body is in op-
posing it's veto power to unjust laws
the more popular will it become and
the more determined will the people
be to stand by it in it's protection OF
their rights and in securing greater
liberty for them. When this body once
becomes we'll established the car will
hardly dare to issue a decree for sup
pressing it. On the contrary, - is
more likely that it will gradually ex-
tend and broaden its powers until 1t
finally becomes a regular legislative
body with authority to originate legis-
lation and to some extent control the
taxing power of the executive branch
If it should once get control of the
national purse strings its power viii
be such that the cZar will have to Yield
to it's demands. The progress of this
advisory body toward a legislative OEe
will be slow, and it may be many years
before it rises to the Importance Of tEe
latter, but it's creation was the enter.
ing wedge which will in the ehd separ
ate the autocratic government into two
branches, the executive and the legis'
lative.

1t is said that Mr.. William z. Brown,
the famous bull cotton Spectator of
New Orleans, has made arrangements
to again take a hand in the cotton bus
mess this fall2 RumOr has it that he
has organized a pool Of southern cot
ton spectators. This is the gentle
man who created such a sensation on
the cotton market two or three years
ago and was also very active in the
speculative market last year. Sully
and Payne are also said to be interest
ed in the pool. This will be good news
to the cotton planters if it be true.
Brown and Sully are daring bulls. BY
their speculations in the past they put
many a dollar in the packets of the
cotton growers. If they are going to
bull the market it is to be hoped they
will begin operations early in the sea-
son so that those farmers who are
forced to market their cotton as soon
as gathered may have the benefit of the
bull movement to be inaugurated by
them.

There is an impression among many

the last legislature the hunting season
in this state has been restricted to two
months. This is an erOr This matter
has been submitted to the attorney
general and he has decided that the
legislature made no such amendment to
the law. With the exception of some
slight changes in certain local laws the
hunting seasons remain much as in
previous years. Our attention has
been called to this matter and the
above statement made to US by Mr.. L.
Gilbert Pearson, secretary Of the State
Audubon Society. Therefore there eau

The news comes from Asheville that
Mr.. Howard Banks, now on the staff
of the Philadelphia Record, will be the
associate editor of the Industrial News.
Mr.. Banks editorial work in this state
before going north established his rep-
utation as writer of great force and as
a first class newspaper man. He held
such positions in the state as managing
editor of the Charlotte Observer, edl-
tor of the Charlotte Chronicle and edl-
tor of the Ashevilie GaZette-NeWs. The
Charlotte Chronicle states that Mr..
Thos. S. Rollins, president of the In
dustrial News Company, confirms the
report. We are glad to know that Mr..
Banks will return to the state and
again take up his editorial work among
US. Our only regret is that it is a re-
publican and not a democratic paper
which is to profit by his talents.

ANOTHER CARTOON OF WILL

We were in hopes that u mild oro-
test in last Sundays Messenger against

Charlotte Chronicle of the Friday
before and our friendly appeal to
Brother Harris not to be so Sc,
we're on our city in her hour OF
distress would touch his heart
and that for old times sake he would
not continue to trample upon her while
she was down; but our pleadings were
in vain He has hardenerd his heart
against us. The Chronicle on Friday
pictured that same old Puritanical Cuss
we described a week ago, only his
c~ountenance has a more malignant eX-
preston. The Chronicle takes two shots

which the old man is in the ac1 of

wire dish cover marked rigid quaran-
tine measures The picture is called;

The Chronicle can laugh now at the
Wilmington authorities about thei,
stringent quarantine measures, but :he
time may come before frost when i
will see fit to commend and congratu'
late them on the great precautions nov
being taken. Who can tell? 1t is GER
