Tt is suDDlemntary to the Knights of Labor, and V intended to effect some objects which lie out of the range of the latter body. Some of the prominent mining men. of Butte City, Montana, have pre pared a silver brick, fashioned into a paper weight, which will be forwarded to Senator Beck as. a testimonial of their regard. It is inscribed, "James It. Beck, Defender of the People's Money.'! The brick is of pure silver, and weighs nearly a pound avoirdu pois. Now if he people who are not interested in mining.had done this Mr. Beck might well feel proud. Gov. Stoneman, of California, has annointed Geo. Hearst United States 4. A Senator, vice John F. Miller, deceased. i Mr. Hearst is about fifty-five years of age, and is chief proprietor of the San Francisco Emminer, the only Demo cratic morning newspaper in that city. Ho is supposed to be worth several million dollars. When ex-Gov. Stand- ford was elected United States Senator by a Republican Legislature, Mr. Hearst was the choice of the Demo cratic minority. The Senate District Committee has finally passed upon the nomination of Mr. Matthews for Recorder of Deeds of the District. By a tie vote 4 to 4 Mr. Blackburn was authorized to report the nomination adversely. It was at last agreed that Senator Vance's vote should be counted, though he is absent, and as his views were well known, it was not deemed necessary to defer . action until his return. Messrs. Blackburn, Vance, Harris and Riddleberger voted against confirma tion, and Messrs. Ingalls, Pike, Pal mer and Brown in favor of it. Ijie blind chaplain of the House, Rev; Dr. Milburn, is using his unques tioned infinence over the House to strike at certain private and public vices. The other day he caused some thing of a sensation by an invocation to God to rid the land of gamesters, whether in cirds, dice, chips, stocks, wheat, bucket-shops, or boards of trade, and to lead the people to know that money-ma king, other than by the sweat of the face, was contrary to His laws. On motion of Mr. Butterworth (Ohio), seconded by Mr. Weaver (Iowa), the prayer was ordered to be inserted in the Record. A leadixT Republican politician has denounced the Windham County (Conn.) Mills as imposing restrictions upon its help, particularly its child laborers which constitute white slave ry. As it has always been the boast of the Republican .party that it never failed as the friend of the down trod den, he expects that laws restricting the exercise of severity will be passed through; its influence. It can afford, he says,' to withstand the opposition of a few mill owners in Windham county for the sake of winning support all over the State. This opinion is of very great moment, because hitherto Re publican politicians have denied the existence of any such condition. I i . The Washington Star presents some sthmrprknsiderations against the posi tion taken by the Jay Gould syndicate of railroads in the quarrel with their employees. It says : " The refusal of a corporation to treat with authorized representatives of a chartered labor organization for no better reason than ;th,at they speak for a body of men in " stead of for themselves as individuals, is to the last degree .unwise. Almost as well might a laborer refuse to work for a corporation till he had made a separate contract with each of its shareholders. It is to be observed that when a manufacturing company wants; Congress to protect itsproductsagainst injurious competition from abroad, it picks out a few of its most intelligent workmen arid sends them to Washing ton to plead the cause of all the Amer ican labor engaged in the same indus try. Suppose Congress , were to take the ground that such men must not be listened to in their representative ca pacity, but merely as individuals, and that if American labor a.s a whole wants a hearing. American labor as a whole must come to Washington to get it. - How many provisions for the protection of our country's products would ever find their way .into the statute books T" - y PROHIBITION OR RESTRIC . TIONS? j, -fygr The renewed efforts of our prohibi tion friends renders peculiarly timely the study !of the Restriction system (which the Messenger has ever advo cated) in contrast with the workings of prohibition in other parts of the country. When the question was agi tated in 1882 and '83 this paper sug gested that legislation on the subject be framed somewhat like the follow ing: (1.) Increase the license and require all license to retail liquor to be taken out yearly,! the first Monday in May, the money to accompany each petition for license 1 This would rule out many cross roads shops who usually only open for a few months to rake in the spare change duiing the cotton pick ing season i (2.) Restrict the license business to incorporated towns " and cities, where there i- police supervision. C.. Reouire each applicant for license to give m. , : " a bond in the sum of $1,000 thatjhe yr ill .not violate any of the restrictions, placed upon the traffic, and let this bond be liable for what ever penalties may be adjudged against him. I .; (4.) Provide a penalty of $25 for each of the following offences, viz Selling liquor to a minor ; selling liq uor to a habitual drunkard ; selling liquor on a' sabbath. The penalty to be sued for and recoverable before any justice of the peace within 15 days of the violation of the law. half of the fine to go to the use of the pubHc schools, and the other to whosoever will bring and sustain the charge. It is the opinion of the Messenger that the erreatest reform can be ac- complished under such a restricted system. Our people are not ready for prohibition. This has been demon- strated in the overwhelming defeat the question sustained at the' polls in 1883. Is it not, then, a problem of mighty magnitude to exercise our best wisdom in divining means whereby some wholesome reform can be secured f It is quite certain that the entire abol ishing cannot be effected, and the next best is in staying of its progress to whatever extent we; possibly can. It is better to outwork good by piecemeal than do nothing at all. We have often thought looking at the question in many of its phases that those engaged in the cause of prohibition have themselves become intemperate by going to an extreme. Tkey are satisfied with nothing but immediate total abstiuence at the very outset. We are also fully convinced that the movement threatens danger to the Democratic party in North Car olina, and, iif persisted in, may bring this good old State back under negro rule to the horrors and corrupt days of Radicalism. In a future issue we shall find occa sion to show how utterly prohibition has failed in some States, and also how satisfactorily restriction has succeeded in other sections. INCREASE OF PENSIONS. The act to increase the pensions of widows and dependent relatives of de ceased soldiers aud sailors, which be came a law Lust week, increased their pay from $S; to $12 per month. The number of pensioners: to be affected by this bill is 75,130 ; the number of claimants to be affected by this bill is 33,603, a total of 105,733. In addition thereto the bill includes the widows of the soldiers of the war of 1812, of which there were on the rolls July 1, 1883, 21,33G. Of this number not ex ceeding 1S,000 will probably be on the rolls at the close of the present fiscal year. The grand total of persons likely to be affected is a little over one hundred and twenty-four thousand, making the annual value of the pen sion roll 6,000,000 greater than at the old rate The beneficiaries of this bill are widows, minor children and depen dent relatives now on the pensionrolls, or to be hereafter placed on the pen sion roll. It will apply only to widows who were married to the deceased sol dier or sailor prior to its passage, and to those who may hereafter marry prior to or during the service of the soldier or sailor. The bill provides, and the pen sion bureau officials will endeavor to see that the provision is enforced, that no claim agent or attorney shall be recog nized in the adjudication of claims un der this act ; nor shall any such per son be entitled tp receive any compen sation whatever for services or pre tended services in making applications thereunder. The increase of pension begins from the date of the President's approval of this act. Mr. Carroll D. W right has sent to the Secretary of the Interior the first annual report of the Bureau of Labor, whicti submits facts in regard to the causes of industrial depression. He says that m 18S5 about 998,839 per sons were out of employment in the Unit ejd States, representing, a loss to the consumptive power of. the country of $1,000,000 per day. He holds that the introduction and extension of power machinery is one of the prime causes of over, or injudicious produc tion. He claims that immigration is no longer a benefit to the country, but is a factor in industrial depressions. He suggests; as a way of producing good to -both capital and labor indus trial copartnership, involving the profit-sharing and the principle of co-operation. Th4 contest as to the profits each shall receive for his respective investment is the only contest between laborer and capitalist as such. Their interests are not identical, but recip rocal, and he advises the most com plete organization. Prosperity is slowly but safely returning. THE GOIjDSBOBO MESSENGER MARCH 29,i WHAT WILL .HE DO ?A. . From the best sources of information it appears that the Ways and Means Committee has about perfected a great but moderate measure; of reform. It is understood on high authority that the suggestions of Mr. Randall have been followed, in every instance, he having been consulted at variousrtimes during the preparation of the bill. Naturally, having framed a bill in accordance with what was knownof Mr. Randall's mind, and indeed ex pressly to please him and his friends, the friends of a low tariff desire to know if - the great Pennsylvania leader is going;to support the rifeasure. They are, under the circumstances, not to be censured if they express surprise that there should be any doub any delay in making known his purpose in the premises. Thev are entitled to have a Straightforward, explicit state ment, jThe confidence they have re posed in Mr. Randall's judgment and the respect shown to his position war rant them in expecting something more than silence The session is waning. Hot weather will soon be here, and the end of the session. 7 There wilt not 'be time for! action if action be much long er delated. How does Mr.. Randall stand f i The Democratic party is ------ i - pledged to reduction of expenses, re- duetion'of surplus, reduction of tariff. It seems to depend somewhat on Mr. Randall! whether some or all of these pledges! shall be redeemed. Messrs Carlisle: Morrison and other low tariff men are, committed to legislation look incr to the lierhteninsof burdens. How does Mr. Randall stand! What will he do ! WAR ON THE BOYCOTT. A Mr.lThompson has introduced into the Kentucky Legislature a bill which provides that any persons conspiring together to injure or obstruct or im pede any person, firm or company in the lawful transaction of its business, shall be liable to a fine of from $200 to $500 andl imprisonment of from three months to a year, and that in the event of a person, firm or company meeting with direct injury or pecuniary loss from such conspiracy, the conspirators shall be imprisoned from one to three years in the penitentiary. As an off set to thiis repressive measure, mem bers of : the Knights of Labor and Trades Assembly are circulating peti tions in opposition to it. QUE WASHINGTON LETTER. Tariff Bill to be Greatly Modified, How Our Members Voted, on the Mrs. Hancock Pension Bill. Staff Correspondence of the Messenger. Washington, March 23. There is now no dpubt that Mr. Morrison,-becoming uneasy at the condition of his tariff bill authorized a member of the Ways and Means Committee to go to Mr. Randall and say in substance: "Our partly, pledged to three reductions that of expenses, that of surplus and that of revenue has so far complied with neither. We of the Ways and Means Committee and other tariff re formers wish to comply, and we are desirous of having your assistance if you have any thing to suggest."" Mr. Randall had nothing. The attempt to harmonize factions, or to arrive at some definite understanding, failed for the time being. At a conference last night held at Mr. Mill's residence some points were discussed. Different sto ries are told as to what the agreement was. From the same reliable source from which the t-bove'was mainly ob tained I learn some facts in addition. The free list will not include foods (that is, sugar, rice", &c.) as reported last night, but will include wool, which is regarded by Gen. Cox as a stroke at California and a mistake. It is well enough to say here, par parenthesis, that my information was not derived from a member of the Congress directly. The revised bill will make a still fur ther reduction on woolen manufac tures, but the amount may be changed. Iron and other metals are not inter fered with. A sop to the Pennsylvania Cerberus with reference also to the guard dogs of Virginia ; West Vir ginia and Alabama. (Cerberus, "hell and the iron works," you know.) I think Mr. Morrison will get his bill ready in a few weeks, perhaps by the 1st of April, his present intention, and that the House after considerable de bate will pass it, and that it will be amended out of shape by the Senate and lost. ; But the issue will have been fairly presented and the Democratic party fully vindicated. The new programme for the Educa tion bill is this : Next Monday Mr. Willis will introduce the Blair bill as his own and ask the House to refer it to a committee which he understands beforehand is favorable. The test question will at once arise and the vote on its reference will decide the matter of its passage. If he can secure a favorable reference he can secure the passage of the bill, everything else be ing equal.; Opinion is nearly evenly divided as to whether the House is for or against; the measure. Many of the best Democrats of both sections are clearjy of the opinion that the bill is a Trojan hotse. I have heretofore cor rectly reported the attitude of our own members toward it and the phases which it has assumed in the judgment of the members of the House with whose status on the question I have been conversant. 1 will hot here re call my own judgment of the merits of the bill expressed many months ago. The people in the South seem to want it ; if they get it, I hope none of the consequences which I, in common with many others, have apprehended, will ensue. On the vote in the House yesterday pensioning Mrs. Gen. Hancock 15S were recorded yea, and 47 nay. Among the latter; were some of the leading Southerners. Of the North Carolina delegation; Col. Green alone voted in the affirmative. Col. Cowles and Messrs. Henderson and Johnston were against the bill, Mr. Reid did not vote and Messrs. Bennett, Cox, O'Haraand Skinner were absent. A Georgia cor respondent tells me he poured hot shot into several of his delegation who 1 voted" fori pensioning the rich Mrs. Grant and against pensioning the poor Mrs. Hancock - i. r This bill nassed the Senate to-dav without a dissenting voice. It gives a pension of $2,000 a year. The nominations yesterday and to day were not important. Indiana Democrats are angry be cause the President yesterday refused to remove Public Printer Rounds and appoint an Indianian named Stall. Yesterday Mr. Logan submitted the following resolution, and asked that it might be printed and lie over, savin e he would call it up on some future day arid submit some remarks on it : "ite- solved, That the sessions of the Senate, commonly known-as executive ses sions, so far as they apply to nomina tions, confirmations or rejections, shall hereafter be held with open doors, and that a public record of the same shall be kept, the same as of legislative ses sions.77 The resolution was ordered printed, and to lie over. Tbn oenate heard Messrs. Colquitt ana Jackson, both Democrats, on the controversy between the Executive and the Senate. But Mr. Tackson did not finish his speech until this after noon. Mr. Ingalis was to follow on the Republican side. Interest flasis. Miss Bora Jones, of Grenboro, uaumer or itev. ur. . ivi. .Jones, is here collecting statistics as to women's work and pay. Several of the Con gressmen are showing her courtesies and extendmsr assistance. Yesterday bills were introduced by Messrs. Reid and Cowles. The latter introduced a bill to pension soldiers engaged in removing the Cherokees. Mr. Reids offered, by reouest of that gentlemen, Mr. Skinner's bill to pro vide a beacon light at Wreck Point. Mr. Skinner has obtained leave of abseuce until the 30th irist Mr. J. P. Moore is here. Patterson's Mills postoffice, Durham county, has been discontinued ; mail to Durham. John M. Clayton has been commis sioned postmaster at Kngelhard, Emily xu. Keen acting postmaster at Far mers. Gen. Cox reported favorably from the Committee on Civil Service Reform his bill for the equitable classification and compensation of certain officers of the United States. This was the first legislative work he did to-day on his return. The Militia Committee has author ized Gen. Forney to report favorably Kjcu. vua s uui aumonzing tue secre tary or War upon application of Gov eraors of States to detail army officers 10 instruct the militia. later The low tariff men have not been able to draw from Mr, Randall a sin gle word indicative of the course he thinks they ought to pursue or that he intends himself to pursue. I learn this afternoon from high authority that for two months the leaders of the Ways and Means Committee have consulted the Pennsylvanian, and that his wishes, as tar as could be ascertained, have been literally followed in the preparation of the bill before the com mittee. All the later susrerestions have specially been intended to conciliate Mr. Randall. He has been pressed to sav what further he desires aud wheth er he will oppose a measure so mod erate in its provisions. To these gen tlemen he makes no response. To others he has said in private that the time to seek his advice was when the committee was constituted. Mr. Ran dall claims that a low tariff Speaker of a largely low tariff House should have made a committee up on something like this plan : one or two Democrats of his school and one or two men who are not attached to either wincr, with Republican protection representa tion about equal to the revenue reform Democratic. Of course this would give the committee to the minority. Verily, here is modesty mountain high. In the House during the morning hour yesterday and to-day the Library bill was considered without action. The report was read. It shows that the plan agreed upon is for a building to cost $2,323,600, to which is added the price of the site, 550,000. The project suggested by some persons of an extension of the Capitol building for the purpose of enlarging the pres ent library would cost, says the com-, tnittee, $4,200,000. Besides the saying in cost fifteen or twenty committee and other rooms could be added for the uses of Congress. Another point : If the enlargement were insisted on it would only be a few years before it would be necessary to build a library, whereas the plan of the committee, if carried out, would provide a building large enough for fifty years or more. The purpose is to make alcoves enough for twice the present number of books, or about a million, and afterward to appropriate for and fit up alcoves as they are needed. The estimate shows that after the completion of the build ing the copyrights would be more than sufficient to do this and provide for all the wants of the library besides. The style is Italian renaissance, in har mony with the Capitol ; the space cov ered 2.9 acres, the area of the Capitol being 3 acres, the British Museum 5 acres and the National Library 'of France at Paris 4i. It will hold three millions of books ; m dimensions the building to be 450 feet by 300 ; mate rial, exterior, of stone interior iron and concrete, fire proof. Seventy thousand books are to be retained and a small reference library in the mam portion of the present librar . Mr. Singleton spoke in behalf of the bill to-day, and was opposed by Mr. Hol man, who offered a substitute, for a million dollar building to be erected on a government reservation. Yesterday after cabinet meeting Secretary Manning fell near his office, after getting off the elevator, and sprained one of his ankles. A little later he fell to the floor in a fit of ver tigo, and much alarm was created. But to-day the physicians say he is much better. His attack was caused by overwork with insufficient exercise. Apoplexy was feared by the public, on account of his full habit of body. Ex-Associate Justice Ward Hunt, of the United States Supreme Court, died at 4 o'clock this morning. His imme diate disease was intermittent fever, but he had an attack of paralysis six years ago which caused his retirement. He probably died more from old age and the effects of paralysis than the fever. The death was unexpected. "The friends of the Education bill met in Congressman Willis7 committee room and approved of his purpose to introduce the Blair bill next Monday and ask its reference to some other committee than the dilatory and hos tile Education Committee. The ap prehended trouble is that the Speaker may rule that nnder the rules it can not be done. The practice has been, however recently as well as formerly nnder the old rules, to make reference 18S6. - - DOUBLE VSHEET . as proposed. It may have been irreg ular, i The friends of the bill are yet confident of its passage if it can begot before the House. They say they can vote its reference to another commit tee, if permitted to have a vote. Others doubt their ability. If they can make the reference they can pass the bill. . Senator Ransom returned yesterday. Judge Bennett is still absent. . I send you an early print of the re port on Gen. Cox7s Civil Service bill, which report is worth reproducing en- Tire- it is snore and contains lmpor tant facts. ' C. W. H. ANOTHER FIKE IN MINGTON. WIL- Loss About $25,000 with $12.- OOO Insurance, Wilmington Star, March 26.J Wilmington was visited, this morn ing, by another destructive, and which at one time threatened to be, a very disastrous fire. It Started about 2 o'clock a.- ra. in a shed in the rear part of the lot attached to Messrs. Burr & Bai!eys foundry and machine shops, spread rapidly to the adjoining build incr occupied by Mrs. Warren, and thence to the brick tenement row oh the south. All these buildings were burned. The flames then spread to the brick buildiner on llie opposite side of bee ond street known as the "Carr Block,'7 which, together with the frame build ing on the south, owned Ty Mr. Less- man, was burned to the erround. Sparks set fire to the livery stable on Princess street, managed by Mr J. H. Jones for Capt. T. J. Souther- land, which was soon wrapil in flames. The county jail, just east of the stable, next took fire and was totally destroyed. All the prisoners, about twenty, were rescued. Several made their escape in the excitement and con tusion incident to the occasion; ana we regret to say that among these was the notorious criminal. Alexander Stewart, who had just been sentenced to the penitentiaiy for twenty years. The loss will approximate twenty five thousand dollars, with partial in surance. New Atlvertisements. NOTICE.
