A Great Loss of Money.
We ought to get much more
money from poll taxes than we
do. During 1887 the school census
showed that the white children
between and years were 62.4
per cent of the whole census,
the colored children 37.6 per cent
which is about the ion that
has existed between the children
for four years, as far buck as have
calculated it. But it is specially
to be noted that the tax lists for
the year 1886 show white
polls and only colored polls,
which make the polls
per cent of the whole number of
polls and the colored polls only
31.4 per cent, which is just about
the proportion that has been

Our Choice.
We wain to see Thus. J. Jar-
vis nominated for Governor.
We desire this first, because lie
has been tried in that capacity,
and proved himself true and
faithful to every duty which
that office imposes. Never for
once did he deviate from his
conception of right. Never for
once did he waver in the dis-
charge of his official duties. S
for once did he yield to the
dictations of cliques and rings
and political bones. Never for
once did the interests of the Old
North State in his hands.
His administration was one that
defied criticism from his
foes, and commended the res-
and admiration of his
friends and the people of the
whole In every sense he
was a model of
the best in the history of the
State. No executive ever laid
down the duties of his office
more respected and beloved by
his countrymen than Titos. J.
Jarvis. He left a record that
was bright and unsullied, and
worthy to be held in
by the generations yet o
come. And with record be-
fore them, the party
could have no misgivings in the
matter. They would at once be
prepared to act intelligently be
cause they know him to be safe
and sound on all the leading
HOT before the
try. They hare imposed
in him many times, and
in no instance has that
been betrayed. Jarvis
stands before the world to-day a
exemplar, of truth and
justice and right.
Again We want to see Jarvis
nominated because we believe he
would bring out the full strength
of the party at the election in
was. He was an able lawyer, a
man of learning and high char-
and discharged the duties
of his high position with great
impartiality and fairness. In
the discharge of bis duties and in
his association with the citizens
of our National Capital and
those were called there on
he won the respect of all.
His death Is a severe loss to the
country and will be regretted
by all classes. The selection of
a successor to Chief Justice
Waite is in the hands of Pres-
Cleveland. There are many
able jurists among the Democrats
who could till the position well
but we hope the President will
select the best and ablest man
from among them all. And from
what we know of the President
we believe his selection of Mr.
Waite s successor will be a
one.
