Senator Plumb was engaged to

don't get then. . The reason is cen
tered in the following telegram

ber: -
'Don't coiiie, Bamom's Circus is
billed for same day. You can buck
against the Democrats successfully,
but oimpeople would rather go to

Two circuses on the same day was
almost too much for the Wichitans.
Congressman Oates. of Alabama
a member of the special committee
investing the immigration question,
commenting upon" Mr. Cleveland's
letter of acceptance, said to a Herald
reporter:
i President Cleveland - in his letter
of acceptance advocates is approp
riate and strong language the uesj
measure of protection to .American
labor -that can possibly be devised,
and I honor him for bringing it thus
prominently to the attention of the
public. ,
The testimony recently taken by
the selection "committee of the
House on immigration and contract
labor dissipates everv doubt and
makes it as clear as the noonday
sun that no legislative protection
to American labor can be very val
uable while hordes of aliens flock to
our shores to underbid our laborers
and take the bread from the mouths
of their children. The best prptee
tion that Congress can extend to
American labor against the pauper
labor of Europe is to amend our
immigration laws to prevent the
latter from coming in competition
with the former on American soil.
I have been of this opinion for the
past four years, and time and obser
vation have confirmed me in it.

There is an enormous freshet in

come oh the top of this one. there is
no ealculating' how loach damage
may be done.

render County Crops.
From Mr. J. T. Collins,of Biirgaw,
who was in the city to-day, we learn
thatThe farmers of Pender county
are more fortunate than those in
many other sections of the State.
The crops have been damaged some
what by the heavy rains, it is true,
but it is hoped that this damage will
not prove very serious. The corn is
already made, but cotton, , peas and
potatoes will suffer somewhat from
the heavy rains. The water courses
are high but if no more rain comes
it will take but a few days for the
water to run off.

Whiskey and Yellow Fever.
Yellow fever is a good prohibi
tionist, as far as it goes. The physi
cians in Jacksonville say that a man
addicted to the use of liquor is not
likely to survive an attack of yellow
fever and as a consequence the
ranks of the teetotalers in Jackson
ville have been largely recruited. '
This pxonunciauen.tQ was also
made by te. physicians in this city
during ihe yellow fever epidemic f
1862, but as there was very little
liquor here then, and that hard, to
get," a fair test of the theory was
rather impracticable. There was
some spirits on. hand in theQqarter
master's, department and that of the
Medical Purveyer and the old bum
mers used to exhaust all , kinds of
dodges in trying to "sample V; it.
Still, some people id get whiskey
somewluir.G aud there were those
Who argued that whiskey was the
best preventive in the world for the
fever. It is seedless, to ayv that
they had "the. courage of their con
yici,qusn and that they proceeded
to act up to them as promptly as the
circumstances admitted, of, by al
ways keeping as full as possible. We
feuieiuber a case iq point. We re
nAenlber one wet afternoon passing
ajong the deserted pavements on
South Water street when we-encountered
two men, father and son,
reeling along, ajm in arm, both of
them under the influence of liquor.
U was a sad sight, and one we will
never forget, for within a week or
so of that day both were dead an4

The new freshet iin the river,
coming on top of the old ones, was
too much for the Cape Fear and it
has therefore been forced out of its
banks and a large portion of conntry
is under water. Just how deep this
isjwecannot say and on this point
and the length of time it remains in
the fields depends the magnificent
corn crop in the Bladen lowlands.

Col. .Waddeil has been making a

most glowing accounts have come of
the masterly work he has been doing
in the campaign and of the enthu-
siasm whicn nas followed in his
wake. He says he has found the
Democrats admirably organized ev

enthusiasm is overflowing. Colonel

It may not be erenerallv knawn.
yet it is a very stubborn fact, that
thousands think themselves the sub
ject f dyspepsia, while they are suf
fering from malaria. In fact mala
ria does produce all the symptoms
of dyspepsia the bad taste the
coated tongue, the "poor or. fastidi
ous appetite, the unrefreshing sleep,
the irresolution and mental depres
sion, the backache or pains in the
limbs or bones, all may be the result
of bad air malaria." Thousands suf

drug themselves with pills, -nostrums
or quinine to no purpose, of
ten making themselves worse f rom
the drugs than they were from the
disease.
What you want is a medicine that
will cure and not poison; and the
medicine that will do this work is
Humphrey's Specifics Nos. 10 and 10.
