THAT HOTEL MATTER.
Raleigh's Pressing Necessity Suggested
Again.
The Chronicle has already suggested
the necessity of additional hotel facili
ties for Raleigh. The suggestion was
not necessary to make the matter ap
parent to Raleigh's people. Now, if
anybody wants to know why that hotel
is needed, just let them think of the
following facts for the present, and
other facts will be presented further
on:
It is very probable that the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern railroad will bo
completed before next winter. If it is,
Raleigh will find itself on the most di
rect, and therefore the most popular
line from North and South.
As the winter months come on, there
is a great exodus of people from the
Northern to tho Southern States.

Southern Republicans Determined
Secure Repeal of the Tax.
(From N. Y. Herald.)
Washington, D. C, April 9. Now
that Speaker Reed has shown his deter
mination not to recognize any member
of the minority for the purpose of mov
ing the repeal of the tobacco tax, a
movement is taking shape among the
Southeru Republican Congressmen to
force the issue when the McKiniey bill
comes before the House. The two re
pubi'.c-ius from Virginia and the three
from North Carolina are pltdged to this
measure, and will stand by it regardless
of party pressure. Oue of the most
prominent of these members said
to-night :
"We are quietly talking the matter
over, and we propose to .solidify the re
publican members from Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky in
favor of this course. Coleman, of Louis
iana will probably act with u-, and per
haps soTie of the Man land republicans.
With this strength addtd to the demo
cratic vote cf the House we should be
able iu amend the McKiniey bill by the
addition of a clause repealing this tax
which is ao obnoxious to our j eonle To
bacco is no longer a luxury; it is virtual
ly one of the necessities, owing to its
universal use, and the poor people of the
country should have the chance to buy
it as cheaply as possible."

Will you pleao allow me to call
the attention of the Board of Aldermen
to a much needed reform in the manner
of hanging gates iu this city.
I notice that in most sections of the
city gates are fixed so as to open to
ward the street. This is nothing short
of a "relic of barbarism," If you take
a stroll you will find at least one-third
of these gates standing open, obstruct
ing the passage of pedestrians, especial
ly where the sidewalks are narrow.
Two or more persons walking abreast
must break ranks or close the
gates as they pass. The lighting ca
pacity cf the city is insufficient for the
territory to be lighted, and for this reason
the sidewalks should be clear. The
city fathers should order all gates to be
changed to open from the street. I
doubt if this nuisance exists in any
other important town or city in the
State. I kuow that the authorities of
towns in remote sections, where it is
hardly ''known that the war is over,"
have long since put a stop to this old
fashioned way of hanging gates. If I
were prospecting, I would never invest
money in a town so much behind the
times. This is an '.inexpensive reform,
and no doubt the intelligent people of
the city will cheerfully conform to the
wishes of the authorities.
CmzEN.
The Chronicle is of the opinion
that the Chamber of Commerce passed
a resolution some time since, request
ing the board of aldermen to look after
this matter, but so far nothing has been
done. J
A FULL STATEMENT OF THE
TOBACCO TAX QUESTION.
Senator Vance's Speech Heard with
Pleasure The Senate Forgot its Dig
nity and Laughed at His Jokes
Personals, dec.
Special Cor. of State Chronicle .1
Washington, D. C, April 9. I com
mend Mr. Brower's party fealty in try
ing to cover up the inconsistencies of
Speaker Reed, and if the ten command
ments could be complete without the
IX, it would bo orthodox to endorse the
Republican Speaker for saying that he
had "never declined to recognize a
member from North Carolina or Vir
ginia" in an effort to repeal or amelio
rate tho internal revenue system. As
regards the Speaker's more recent action
in this matter, I will quote the Washing
ton correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican, one of the ablest papers in
the country:
"Speaker Reed has not yet replied to
the courteous request of the Democratic
members from the tobacco growing
States, that one of their number be
recognized Mcnday to move the repeal
of the tobacco tax. It is not expected
that he will recognize a member for such
a purpose, but one of the Democratic
members will put him to the test on
Monday by trying to secure recognition.
Congressman Brower. the North Caro
lina Republican who voted for the Mills
bill because of its tobacco tax repeal
features, was laboring with the Speaker
i-ua, uul uiu ijoi make mucn oi an
impression. Mr. Reed seems to have
changed his views on the subject since
the last Congress as completely as he has
on me question of a quorum.
This shows why Mr. Brower is so un
easy about the item I published about i
month or six weeks ago. The basis of
that item was this. On the verv dav
that Speaker Beed sprung his new con
struction or a quorum on the House,
Col. yy. 11. 11. Cowles wasover on the
Republican side of the House pleading so
earnestly witn Mcivintey about this re
peal measure, that he unconsciously
gave the vote which he immediately re
called, aud which caused such a stir at
the time. Col. Cowles told Maj. Mc
Kinley that with h:s assistance as Chair
men of the Ways and Means Committee.
a bill repealing the tax ccu'd be pushed
thiough the House at ones. McKiuiev,
Speaker Reed's chosen chairman and ac
knowledged authority cn the floor of the
lloute iu all matters pertaining to meas
uses referred to the Committee on Wava
and Moans, did not respond to Col.
Cowles' urgent request. He craw-fished
out of the position on this subject which
he had professed to hold during the en
tiro existence of the Fiftieth Congress.
He resorted to every phase of
hutsse and diplomscy to evade
tLo issue our Congressmen were
trying to force on him. Colonel Cowles
told him he had a list of names in his
pocket of Congressmen who would vote
for the measure if McKiniey would bring
ic up. As chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee McKiniey cou'd have
brought it up then and there. Instead
.if this he declined to do so, in a-round-about
way I admit but the result was
the same. Tho Speaker that day caused
a diversion and it was a very effective
one by counting a quorum when, from
a parliamentary standpoint there was
none.
Air. orower may assert mere was a
quorum as Reed did just as
R'.ed asserts, at Brower's suggestion,
that my statement in the State
Chronicle which I repeat at length
in the above, is not true. The
fact?, however, remain the same and are
f-usceptible of the most absolute proof
I do not believe Maj. McKiniey would
deny the statement made above, and it
is hereby repeated on the authority of
Col. W. II. H. Cowles. Moreover the
very words I used in the State Chroni
cle were copied verbatim from a source
whose reliability has not been questioned
on this point. The very words have been
printed in metropolitan journals and
their authenticity has not been ques
tioned by Speaker Reed because, per
haps, THE PUBLICATION WAS NOT SUP
POSED TO AFFECT A VOTE IN MR. BUOW-
er's district. The statement in the
State Chronicle, however, had a dif
ferent bearing aud Mr. Brower paid
that paper a compliment when he per
suaded the Speaker to reply to it over
his signature. Since Mr. R?ed counted
that quorum, however, and declared
there was one, when a previous declara
tion of his in the Congressional Record
affirms that it was not a quorum, I
think I am wasting your space in dwel
ling longer on this subject. There
was one point I omitted to make how
ever, out of an instinctive courtesy, to
the republican members of our delega
tion. It was this, Col. Cowh s did not
ast them to sign the memorial to Mr,
Reed, and it is possible that Mr. Brower
was not informed of either movement
to repeal the tax which was made by
THE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF THE NORTH
Carolina and Virginia delegations.
The signers of the second request were
handed me by Col. Cowles. A few days
ago Col. Cowles told me he had a list of
the members who would vote to repeal
the tax when he first begged McKiniey
to bring the bill up.
the gallery was Miss Annie Kenan, of
jvenansvuie, one or the brightest and
most popular ladies in the State. She
is visiting Washington for the first time,
and is very much pleased with th eiiv.
What is better than this K I haie out
seen any one who is not charmed with
her.
m m m
Without askine the advice of Speak
er Reed or Mr. Brower, 1 beg leave to
call the attention of your readers to the
numoer ot pension bills which passed
the House and otherwise adorn the pages
of the Congressional Record on laat
Monday, when the North Carolina and
Virginia Democrats were working to di
minish the taxes on cur people. The
list is too long for me to attempt to re
produce. But theae pension bills to
gether with the Jarge general
pension bill then under consideration
would be good campaign matter in North
Carolina at the next election.
Mr. Henderson's bill concerninz mar-
shall's fees and the amelioration of pun-
isamenis ior an minngement of the in
ternal revenue laws was favorably re

mutee to aay.
Mr. Henderson tells me that SreW
Reed has as yet taken no notice ot vl.e

that his son's remains would meet him
at Greensboro, on the way to Taylowville

THE SALEM ORCHESTRA.
(From Greensboro North State.)
For a hundred years Salem has culti
vated in its people the love and talent
for music until now, among the more
cultivated, it is an inheritance, a natural
endowment, and its developments by
careful tiaining and culture have beeu
brought to a high state of excellence.
Drilled and instructed by the very best
talent procurable, there has been trained
up a company of musicians whom an
inborn talent for music, a real love of
the art, a careful study of the theory
and thorough drill in the U chnic of the
ait, have made genuine artists.
The orchestra, as at present composed,
contains 20 members, eaci gifted in his
own particular line and especially f killed
on his own particular sort of instru
ment. The orchestra bas had several most
excellent and painstaking instiuctors
during the past few years, oftentimes at
great expense, having in one case em
ployed a leading member of one of New
York's beat orchestras to givo them sys
tematic instruction and drill.
It will be of interest to the music
loving people of Greensboro to learn that
a hall dozen of the most accomplished
lady musicians of Salem have been in
duced to accompany the orchestra to
Greensboro on the 17th inst., and will
thus doubly add to the attractions of
the programme. The ladies are Mrs.
H. Fries, "Salem's favorite songstress,"
as sopruno soloist; Mrs. Prof. Geo.
Markgraff, highly skilled ou the vio
lincello; Misses Grace Locke and Eva
Miller, charming young violinists of
great promise; and Misses Peterson and
Carmichael, the accomplished pian;su.
The Chronicle extends a cordial in
vitation to the Salem orchestra and the
accomplished lady musicians of Salem
to visit Raleigh and give an entertain
ment on the night of the 18th., or any
other night that will suit them. We
will feel highly honored and will guar
antee a full house in Metropolitan Hall.
