We shall watch the progress of
this fight with interest and with
out offering any suggestion as to
the probable out come, except tc
that I'VE are from Missouri"
Once upon a time, not a great
many years ago, leading demo-
Gratis of Hendersonville succeed
ed in convincing Senator Vance
and President Cleveland that it
would be the part of wisdom to
retain a certain widow, "a most
admirable woman) as postmis-
tress here, instead of putting in
a good party worker. It was
contended that by retaining this
this lady in the post office the
democratic party would be the
gamer on account of her large
relationship in the county; that
she had a large family and
needed the office to enable her to
rear and educate her children.
The result of it all is well
known. We have yet to hear of
a single republican (even a men,
Der of her family who has dar-
ed to show his appreciation of
this favor voting the demo-
charitable institutions.
cratic ticket at any election. This
same widowed mother remained
in office until she was displaced
by a republican administration
and Mr.. Grant is aware of the
fact that the final change did not
injury to his party here.
And he probably had the Incl
dent above related in mind when
he recommended the removal of
Mrs. Reed from the Biltmore
for the purpose of reward
a political friend. It is the
republican way and the question
OF right does not enter into the
calculation at all.

JOHNSON TALKS.

The democratic governor OF
Minnesota who has been travel
ing extensively through the mid
die and northwestern states since
the late congress adjourned, does
not think the people will long
tolerate such an abominable
piece of legislation as the new
tariff bill. Speaking to a repor-
ter in Chicago the other day
Governor johnson said:
There is no doubt about the
extreme unpopularity of the Aid
rich-Payne tariff measure in the
states l have visited since the
bill passed. These include Ill
inois, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin,
Nebraska, Kansas, the two Da-
kotas, Idaho and Montana. |
have talked with thousands of
men, and | have not found one
who would defend it. Republi-
cans and democrats all denounce
the law as outrageous. No plain
citizen and no office holders try
to defend it. Indeed, the repub-
licans seem to be the most resent
full, for they feel it is up to them
to apologize for.it and they do
not like the task"
Governor johnson thinks the
next House will certainly be
democratic and that western re-
publicans will assist the demo-
Gratis in bringing about a deserv-
ed rebuke to the trust-controll-
ed members of congress who
figured in the recent perform
ance which resulted so disas-
trously to the people generally
and the South and West particu-
larry. He has had his ear to the
ground and knows something of
the prevailing sentiment among
the people in the states visited.
How any honest fair-minded
man can defend the Payne-Al-
drich bill we cannot understand.

PRAISE IS DESERVED.

THE people of Wake county
are proud of County Superinten-
dent of Schools Judd. He has
made good'' at home and has
declined two offers this year
with better salaries than he re-
ceives at home. But Wake needs
him and he is a loyal son. Mr..
Judd has returned from Hender-
sonville, where he went to attend
the State Convention of County
Superintendent. The Hender-
sonville hustler pays him this
continent:
superintendent Judd, of
Wake, is one of the States

successful educators. His speech

eloquent language and spoken
with power and eloquence. Keep

she has been summarily kicked
out without cause, other than
the fimsy excuse to make a place
for Mr.. Grants political heller.
The appointment having been
made during a recess of congress,
Mr.. Luther may take charge of
the office at once, without wait
ing to be confirmed.
The claim is de that Sena-
tors Simmons and Overman
were supporting Mrs. Reed and
the appointment of Luther is a
victory for Mr.. Grant, who feels
good over the result. Conclud-
ing an explicit review of the
controversy the Asheville Gazette
News says:
In the meantime and while
Mr.. Grant is evidently in good
spirits over his victory, the ques-
ton is being asked as it has been
before, what is going to be the
result next year of the removal
of Mrs. Reed. It was declared
several weeks ago when the fight
was about at it's height that if
Mr.. Grant did succeed in remov-
ing Mrs. Reed it would cost him
Buncombe in the next election,
in the event he is in the nominee
of the republican party for con-
gross again, by an adverse ma
jority that would certainly spell
defeat in the district. That the
friends of Mrs. Reed-a case not
unlike the Mrs. Shipp affair
have taken sharp issue with Mr..
Grant in his efforts-his success
full efforts-to remove Mrs. Reed
is certain. Incidentally the Reed
connection in Buncombe county
is large; the friends of Mrs. Reed
are numerous; they feel that she
has not been dealt fairly with
by Mr.. Grant; that she held the
only one term and that she
was entitled to another. In short
Mr.. Grant has turned a widow
out of. Office and he will likely
hear from it.

THE STATE Wins.

Judge Henry G. Conner hand
ed down an opinion on Thursday
in the case of the Red C Oil Com
pany against the State Board
of Agriculture which sustains
the State upon every issue. The
bill in equity filed by the eomplai-
nant was dismissed with the
cost. This very able decision by
a Judge of acknowledged ability
recognizes the right and power of
the State to enact an enforce
laws for the protection of it's
people.
The oil companies sought to
set aside an act of Legislature
prescribing rules of inspection
governing the distribution of
their products in North Carolina,
proceeding by the usual route of
the Federal injunction. But
Judge Connor declines to allow
their contentious to stand. The
companies have given notice of
appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court, but there appears
to be little likelihood of Judge
Connor's decision being revers-
ed. Attorney General Bicket
represents the State, Aycock and
Winston the plaintiff.
1t has been agreat legal bat
tie and the State is to be con-
graduated upon the result OBJ
tanned, in a matter of such vital
Importance by it's able represen-
tative. Our able and resource
full Attorney General is a dis
tinct credit to North Carolina.

HENDERSONVILLE IS IT.

best town in the State."' Go to
Mr. Landmark; were he seeking
such a place as that he would go

Lexington fills that description.

question, however, we know of
no town that we would rather
let him go to than Statesville. y

II IS JUST so.

The Lexington Dispatch speaks
a parable in the following recent
utterances:
1.-THE school people in their
meeting at Hendersonvllle touch
ed on no more vital subject than
that of fines and forfeitures.
There is n doubt in our mind
that in every county in the State
the school fund has lost money
by the lack of vigilance on the
part of the school authorities.
In Guilford county this has been
proven true, if in Guilford why
not in all others? There ought
to be- rigid investigation of this
matter throughout the state; the
records should be examined and
the future watched"
The county superintendent
were very much in earnest about
the matter of fines and forfeit
lures and discussed the subject
thoroughly during their conven-
ton here. And having a better
understanding of ways and
means" they are determined to
get what is coming to the public
schools hereafter. Right!

Prohibition evidently prohibits
some in Asheville. During the

shows which way the wind
blows"

QUEER ENGLISH TAXES.

Babies as Well as Windows Used to
Help Swell the Revenues.
In 1895 a tax of shilIings had to be
paid by the parents of every little
stranger" born in England except by
people in receipt of aims. Curiously
enough, measure proposing a tax on
babies was introduced some time ago
in the local parliament of the German
princedom of Reuss by which it was
proposed that the parents or mother
when registering the birth Of a child
should in each case contribute a sum
amounting to 10 cents.
Some time ago Il good deal of merri-
ment was aroused by a measure in
troduced In the Legislature of New
Jersey by which it was proposed to
tax boards, but even this is not an
original proposal. Queen Elizabeth put
a tax Oh every beard of 81 fOrtnight's
growth, while a couple of centuries
ago Peter the Great insisted that all
mobiles who wore boards should pay
100 rubles for the privilege.
AS chancellor Of the English eX-
cnequef Flu rendered hlmSelt very I'M
popular by the extraordinary means
to which he resorted in order to i'm
prove the state of the cOuntry's ex-
chequer. He it was who first intro
duced the income tax, and he also
levied tax upon horses, which caused
a certain farmer to use a cow for the
purpose of riding to and from market.
Even more dissatisfaction, however,
was caused by Pitts increase of the
window tax, first imposed in the year
that the tax on babies was enforced.
This window tax caused property own
ers to wall up as many windows as
possible, in order to reduce the amount
for which they were liable.-Philadel-
