THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY H ISM. THE ROANOKE NEWS THURSDAY J FLY Hi. 18!1. rF.CKETARV XHH.E IS S;lUl ti) I'O tl'.C ; hardest working member of the irovi-rn- j uit'iit :it "raslin;tim. Hois always at; his di'sk as late as (I o'clock siti'l tie- j qucntly until 8. lie has a larger number of clerks under him than all the. other ! cabinet officers pur together. The smallest "moonshine" distillery ever captured by revenue officers was found recently in Atlanta, (la., and sent to Washington as a curiosity. Its capac ity is about three gallons a day; it is con structed so as to be operated ou an ordi nary cooking stove and it is complete in every detail. Mn. .1. A Kamsay, formerly asso ciate editor of the l'riirensiiv Farmer, has resu ued that position and got out the paper this week. It says the paper wi'l not go out of its way to endorse or condemn the third or any other party. It will advocate and defend every particle of the Ocala platform unless some one convinces him that it or some part of it is wrong. The first Australian ballot law enacted in this country was that put upon the Massachusetts statute books in 1S88. The next year nine other States passed similar laws, and in the course of 1890 and the early part of this year, twenty more States followed suit. To-day there are but fourteen States which have not improved their old ballot systems by re form legislation. The treasury department has deter mined to coutiuue the loan represented by the four and half per cent, bonds at the rate of two per cent. The new bonds are now being prepared, and it is said the holders of the four and a half per cent bonds will vadily exchange them for the new two per cent, bonds. Most of this loan, or a great part of it, is held by National banks to secure their own currency and the acceptance of the two per ceDt. bonds does not therefore nece, sarily argue that iuterest will be lower, because the banks had to have bonds of ame kind io order to continue business. The July crop report sent out by the Department of Agriculture shows im provement in the cotton ' condition in the month of June. The general average is j 88.6. This is three points below the j July return of last year, and one idiove ! that of 1881. In but four seasons since j 1874 have the July returns been so low. ) The crop is universally late, ranging local-; ly from a few days to two weeks or more. In the Atlantic and Eastern Gulf States, especially, the plant issmall and backward and very grassy. The average in North Carolina is put at 77, lower than that of any other State. Texas is the highest with an average of 95. In view of the published fact in foreign papers that destitute Russian Jews are being sent to the Unitad States at the instance of officials of foreign governments, the immigration authori ties at New York have been instructed by the Department to exercise especial care in their examination, as the matter may become the subject of diplomatic correspondence. Indigent Jews are not wanted in this country and the Department is right so far as it goes, but it may be pointed out in passing that it would be wise if the government would he equally careful in the landing of indigent immigrants who are not Hebrews. The principal feature of the Alliance convention at Fort Worth, Texas, Satur day morning was the speech of U. S. Hall, president of the Missouri A'liance, charging that Dr. Macune had sold out for a money consideration to the protec tionists, and in furtherance of that bar gain the Third Party move wu inaugu rated in the South to divert IVmoemtic Votes. lie said it was no disgrace for such a dishonest man as Macune to get into the Alliance, but it would become a disgrace if be was not turned out. Ila'.l was loudly applauded. It is believed that the outcome of the convention will be a split of the State Alliance into i ictions one representing the Third Party, and the other the Democratic wing, i Resolutions were passed denouncing the sub treasury and land loan schemes and government ownership of railroads as a violation of the first principles of good government, as paternal in character and as centralyzing in their tendencies. The resolutions also demand the removal of those men who ore not farmers from National and State Alliance offices and that none but those who have their ii terest in farming be allowed to till them. IIAI.IIW AM) I'll l.XI'OSI I IOX. A very important question to the peo ple uf this comity is, shall Halifax be represented at the Southern iutcr-state exposition at Raleigh ? The board of magistrates wisely declined to make an appropriation for the purpose. The stale ot'the county finances, they believed, would not ju.-til'y such an expenditure, and no doubt their action was approved by the tax-payers. Hut there ought to be patriotism enough turning our citizens to make an exhibit showing the advan tages and resources of the county, indepen dent of public appropriations; various prod ucts, cultivated and uatural, of the coun ty, could be collected and sent to llal eigh. It would cost but little money, and very little more time, and might re sult in great benefit to our people. We want more people here, and our exhibit at the exposition would be a very cheap and effective way of making known our resources to the outside world. We hope this matter will receive the attention it deserves. We have a half dozen men in our mind now who would, if they would take hold of the mutter, make an excel lent exhibit for the county. We invite suggestions and discussion, and will have more to say upon the subject later. There has been some trouble between the Secretary of the Treasury and the Knights of Labor about the discharge of members of the order from that depart uietit. Secretary Foster at first agreed to reinstate theui but refused to do so at the instance of the chief of another Labor or ganization. The whole trouble arose from the desire of the Secretary to help the Republicans in Ohio. Now Master Workman Powderly has written an open letter to Secretary Foster in which he speaks his mind with a freedom not pleasant to the Secretary. He refers to him as an "artificer in political trickery," "a statesman who did not feel too small to squeeze through the narrow crevice of deception and treachery" and charges the chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, in which the discharged Knights were employed, with using ob scene and profane language, with drunk enness and with "making a beastly exhi bition of his depraved nature" in the Bureau. Mr. Powderly seems be in for the war. DIKECT THAI)!', WITH Till'. SOUTH A LINE OF STF.AMEU.S TO It E ITT ON FROM NEWPORT NEWS TO EUROPE PROMISING OUTLOOK FOR SOUTHERN PORTS. The Maim t'nctiirer Record of tliU week says the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway company has closed a five year contract with C. Furness, one of the largest steamship owners in England, for three regular lines of steamers from Newport News, Va., to Liverpool, Lon don and Glasgow, and also for occasional steamers to Havre and Antwerp. These will be the first regular European steamer lines from any port south of Batimore. Heavy engagements of grain, provisons, flour, tobacco, lumber and live stock are being made in the West for export by these steamers, one order for sixty thou sand bags of flour having just been book ed in St. Louis and another of 54,000 bags direct to Havre, said to be the largest single shipment of flour ever made from this country to that port. The statuers are of from I5.000 to 5,000 tons' capacity and each line will send out a steamer every ten days, making about uine or ten steamers a mouth, on three regular lines.'. The Miiiviiictnier's Rirord says that the "establishment of these three regular steamship Hues from Newport News to Europe must mark the beginning of a great increase of the South direct trade with Europe. The starting of these lines, backed by the Chesapeake and Olii.i Railroad will .stimulate other great Southern railway systems to turn their attention to the establishment of lines lr Wilmington, Savannah, Charleston ami other ports. All the indication point to a very marked development of South ern seaports. Till-: WHtlt ON THUSIIOR. The science of scarpology consists of tellin;- character by the wear of the soles of the shoes. When the soles are worn toward the toe they indicate de ceit and even criminality; wear at the back of the heels denotes pride and vanity; while a sole that shows wear on every part demonstrates a frank, up right, and fearless character. Thescar pologist would find himself at fault; though, if he tackled the soles of the shoes of some of the old Republican office holders in this town, and especially the inspectors of the street department, as there never was enough w ear on the soles of their shoes to denote anything. The wear came ou the seats of their trousers. A IM-Xl'HKATK KDlTtllt.
