There is a genuine split threatened in the negro vote in New York State. Thus far a very considerable deser tion has occurred. They have! no confidence in Chinese Harrison and Money-bags Morton, who imports cheap contract labor from Europe. The New York Star says: I "They discredit, too, the Republicanism of the railway attorneys, the land sharks, and the monopolists who conducted the Chicago Convention. And they do not be lieve in dear clothes and cheap whiskey, as inculcated in the Chicago platform. There are 10,000 colored citizens in New York city. According to the most con servative estimates, they will cast 4,003 votes for Cleveland and Thurman. Ac cording to the estimate of the most san guine colored Democrats, they will wheel into line 7,000 strong for the Democratic ticket. The colored citizens of ; the me tropolis are now forming - a Democratic County Committee, and are organizing a Democratic colored clnb in every Assembly . district of the city. The movement is a political exodus from the Republican party." Surely the signs thicken that the oanse of honest government and just taxation is prospering, and that Cleveland and Thurman are gaming strength every day. While the Northern men of color are deserting the old corrupt party that baa bam boozled and bled them so of ten. what Wiluthe Southern black men do? The probability is that they will con-l tinue blindly to follow the leak of the Republican party that has long ago outlived its usefulness and good name. j "v j ut j ivui uuiuicu lawyers lu New York.

' TARIFF FABLES EXPOSED, You will find in the Republican papers any amount of Tariff Fables evidently intended for grown up people with the intelligence of chil dren. It is only by false statements, glossings,. manipulations, boastings, and figures that lie, that they hope to befool the people. We will give a specimen or two of the fables re sorted to and paraded in the Repub lican prints. Mr. William Whitman, of Boston, is President of the National Associa tion of Wool Manufacturers. He denies that woollen manufacturers favor frek wool and challenges the Springfield Republican toname one. That able Independent Republican quickly accepts the challenge and says: . .; - . "As to tho challenge to name any woollen manufacturera in favor of free wool, we would simply say that we have not space to enumerate such a long list, but here are a few who have within the last six months declared that to be their position: Arthur T. Lyman of the Lowell company; EI. M. Fair of the Farr Alpaca company of Holy oke; Mr.;Cbaffeeof theMendicott company or Windsor Locks, Conn. ; Beach & Co. of Hartford; Charles H. Merriman of i Provi dence; George Bullock of Conshohocken. Penn. ; Walter Aiken of Franklin Falls, N. H.; Nye & Wait of Auburn. N. Y.; Bleakie of Boston; Rowland G. Hazard of Peace Dale, R. I. ; Jesse Metcalf of Provi dence: and James Dobson of Philadelphia, John L. Houston of Thompsonville, and a hundred others in favor of free carpet wools and indifferent as to other wools. We will go fnrther, and say that the manufacturers of the woollen association are not and never have been more than nominally in favor of the wool tariff, and that they wonld vote in a body to overthrow it were they assured that the rachmen would not knife them in turn." ; . . j- i 1 After reading that formidable ar ray of names and the accompanying statement we have no doubt that Mr. William Whitman will deeply regret that he had been so bold and precipi tate. He would like "to crawl into a hole and pull it in after him." But let us give another Republi can Fable. There is a soap man in New York named Charles S. Big gins. He has joined C. Harrison and M. Morton because the 5 per cent, re duction of the Mills Tariff will ruin soap. According to this Higgins the soap business is completely done for and hereafter cleanliness' will not be next to godliness. But his statement has only caused the leading soap manufacturers of New York to laugh at Higgins. The N. Y. Times inter viewed them and says: j "They were unanimously of the opinion that the reduction of the tariff on laundry eoap, the article mainly made by Higgins, would have no effect on trade, for the ma terhls are so cheap that it can be manufac tured at a pi ice that will leave no fear as to the result of competition with EngliBh man ufacturers. It may have the effect of re ducing slightly the profits of the American manufacturer, but the article will be pro duced at such a low price as to prove of considerable gain to the consumer. "Mes3rs. Colgate & Co., of 55 John street, are among the largest soap manu facturers of the city. Members of the firm said yesterday v 'Mr. HIggins's prognostica tion is certaiily dismal one, but, neverthe less, it is absurd. The Mills bill will cer tainly not cause us to shut down. The re daction of the tariff on laundry soap is not lisely to do us any injury cr affect our bu siness in any way. j The same news comes from Schultz & Co., with big factories at Zanes- ville, Ohio. While they are "strongly in lavor of Protection we are not afraid of the Mills bill J nor have any faith in Mr. Higgins's prophecy." So this soap bubble bursts, and Mr. Higgins realizes that he has been a little 'too previous." But you will find these fables almost in every issue of Republican sheets. j FARM PRODUCTS AND PRICES. In 1848, under the Walker Low Tariff, the prices of wheat, rye, corn, and oats was higher than they are now under a High Tariff. -sIt the cereals are low then the farmers are injured. That is so. From 1848 to 1857 ten years the prices were as follows: j "Wheat averaged $1.50 per buBhel. rve 85.. corn 71, and oats 44. In the spring of 1835 wheat. almost touched $3 00 per bush el. This was the year of the Crimean war, the only abnormal peiiod included in that decade, the Irish- famine occurring in 1847." Now let us see how the important and chief products of the farm have averaged for another decade. From 1879 to 1888, the prices under a War Tariff high, oppressive and une qual -have averaged as follows: Wheat $1.09, rye 71, corn 53, and oats 43. Daring the last five years wheat has actually averaged 93 C9nls a bushel. How has the Tariff helped the farmer? As the boys say, "over the left." It has re duced the price of their products and increased heavily the prices of their purchases. ) Sunset Cox is not only a very bril liant, finely cultivated, able man, but he is true and manly.

Read and pre serve: : ,; ";"C -: , , ' - "We would affect all needed reduction of the national revenue by repealing the taxee upon tobacco, and the tax upon spirit used In the arts, j if there shall still re main a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government we favor the entire repeal of internal taxes" This is the1 Free Whiskey plank that is offensive to tens of thousands of intelligent 'and moral Republicans throughout the land. This is the bid for votes as efct forth by the Repub lican National platform. Do you know what this declara- tion means? Do you know what a repeal of Internal Taxas really means?- We think not or yon wonld not favor it. The Republicans say rather than have onfi cent taken from the present High Tariff they favor the; repeal of the, following taxes. Read jfirBt column. i - . Per Cent.

Tho Democrats favor a reduction of the Tariff. The Mills bill abol ishes the tobacco tax. The Mills bill is only a step forward only a begin- ing in much needed reform. Now Harrison stands squarely on he Free Whiskey platform and free tobacco and free beer. His organ, the Indianapolis Journal, says that the platform means that.

Firaufi Hour The grand inter-State Farmer's In stitute and Farm Product Fair, will take place at Mount Holly, .Gaston' county, on the 14th. inst, and con tinue thtee : days. Unprecedented low rates of fare for -visitors have been arranged and there is every promise that it will be one of the largest gatherings ever witnessed in the State. The fair is free to all and no admission fee will be charged to go on any part of the grounds, and a number of cash premiums and diplo mas will be ! awarded to exhibitors. One of the principal features of the Encampment will be the business meeting composed of delegates from every section or xsortn taroima, also delegates from the different county alliances of North Carolina. the State Grange and other farmers' organizations. Business ' of impor tance will be discussed. The Pre sident has already appointed committees to report on the following subjects : Co-operation among farmers; how can farm ers unite to regulate the price of products of the farm; do we plant too mucn cotton; sna.u farmers encourage manufacturing en terprises; the homestead; the crop lien; the tenant system; the farmers and orchards; is it profitable for the farmers to pay taxes to keep np the manufacturers; ' charitable institu tions of North Carolina; public edu cation' of North Carolina; the State and county prisons; State Agricultu ral Department: State Experimental Station and farmers; the State Agri cultural and Mechanical College; the State Immigration Department; finances of North Carolina; public roads; cattle, sheep and swine, horses and mules.

Arrangements for the firemen's tournament are so far assured that the necessary preparations for tbe event, which will take place on the 15th, 16th and 17th insts. will go for ward now without delay. The com mittee on subscriptions have met with a generous response from citi zens and have raised eight hundred dollars, and they are confident that the balance required to make the one thousand dollars necessary will be secured without doubt. The full committee will meet to night at the Hall of the Hook and Ladder Company, when all the pre liminary arrangements will be per fected- and the programme prepared. An invitation will be extended to all the volunteer fire companies of the two Carolinas; at Newbern, Mon roe, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Raleigh, Wilson, : Washington, Reidsville, Greensboro, Winston and Durham in this State, and at Florence, Darling ton, Sumter, Columbia, Georgetown, Greenville, Spartanburg, Chester.An derson and Newberry, S. C. The programme, besides contests for prizes, will include a grand par ade of all the visiting companies and members of he home fire depart ment, excursions on the river and by rail to Carolina Beach, South port, Wrightsville, and the Hummocks, and everythingSpossible will be done to make j the event attractive and pleasant to all. j Cheap excursion rates, both for the invited companies and visitors, have been arranged with all the railroads, and also with the hotels for their en tertainment while here. ! The firemen of the city are very en thusiastic and are determined to make the tournament an event that will long be remembered. They feel highly gratified at the hearty encour agement received. Eenoes of tbe Eucimpment. The editor 4f the Maxton Union, Lieut. Col. E. F. McRae, says in his paper: ; M I j The chamnion wrestler is a mem ber of the . Maxton Guards; the best shot belongs to the Fayetteville In dependent Light Infantry; the best drilled man is of the Wilmington Light Infantry; and the wittiest man comes from the Lumber Bridge Light Infantry. The boys all had a good time and the remarkably small num ber on the sick list was a noteworthy fact, and speaks in thundering tones in favor of Wrightsville as the place for a permanent encampment. Large crowds of people visited the camp every day and tne citizens of Wilmington extended many cour tesies to the visitors, which were greatly appreciated and so expressed in resolutions of thanks at a meeting of the military. A very interesting fea ture was the attendance in a body of about two hundred veterans, who passed in review, and received military honors from the Guard. They were headed by a band i and marched under both flags U. S. and C. S. By request they gave an old fashioned "Rebel yell," which was re sponded to by the boys. Many plea sant recollections will linger with us of the second State encampment. . sa-p Tne Governor's Cuard and tne Late Encampment. 1 Col. F. H.

'..;': s This distinguished prelate preach ed in the crimson vestments of his holy office to a select audience at Bat tery Park last night. The large ball room was well filled with prominent citizens and guests of the- hotel; several of our city pastors were also present. The Cardinal's theme was the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Jesus Christ. The audience was treated to an orthodox, sermon of nearly an hour's length, such as all true men and women! love to hear. The preacher plead for the sanctity of the Christian Sabbath as one of man's best heritages from a good Father; admonished nis hearers that the nearest approach to divinity was by those who help their brother up and are filled with charityj. He closed his talk with the words of Scripture, "Pare religion and unde fined before God is this: To visit the widow and the fatherless and to keep himself unspotted from the world." A marine Toboggan. The marine toboggan slide is a new institution that is becoming popu lar at Northern seaside resorts as a great source of amusement One at Bridgeport, Conn., is thus described : The artificial slope rises from high water mark to the height of thirty two feet above y it, where there is a platform reached by a flight of steps. The chute itself is but twenty inches wide and contains wheels for the sleds to run on. Anv toboggan will answer the purpose. The slide is open to all at certain stages of the tide, but at high water none are admitted but good-swimmers. The chute Is 178 feet long. tThe toboggan starts at the signal given by a bell, only one being allowed to go at a time; and on being projected from the lower endj they ricochet across the waters for a dis tance varying from 75 to 1751 feet, skipping along like a flat pebble till the force acquired in the descent is lost, after which the bather swims ashore, pulling his sled after! him.

Harper, and the Passport will leave for New York as soon as the weather is favorable, under command of Capt. Snell and a crew from this place. t The Passport is great favorite ; in these waters, especially with excursion-going people, who will regret to see her and her. popular commander take their departure, Tbat cubbing Case The policeman who arrested1 Mr. Herman Tietgen .last Saturday, (officer Grant), says that the cut on Mr. Tietgen's head was not caused by the blow, from his (the policeman's club), but resulted from the man's head striking: the doorway of the Seaside restaurant, on Front street, when he fell. A reporter for the Stab was informed at the City Hall yesterday afternoon that Mr. Tietgen would submit to the charge of disor derly conduct when arraigned to day. There were four or five wit nesses of the affair, however, and in justice to the policeman and the public, whether Mr. Tietgen submits or not, these witnesses should be summoned and a thorough investiga tion of the matter shouid be made.

Fifty million yards of tb'.s baggins are consumed per annum. and the advance means an additional ex penditure of $2,000,000 to consumer p.

By Telegraph to the Morning- Star. Chicago, August 1. The excitement on -tee wheat market continues and the move ment of speculative values to-day was characterized by the wildest fluctuations. It has come to be a common occurrence for daily changes to cover a two cent range.and interest in the deal at this . point shows no abatement whatever. There was tremend ous heavy trading to day, .fully as large as that of Monday, and the market aeain changed front. On tbe down turn yester- ! day tbe local crowd got snort and in the rush to cover ibis morning prices were again advanced sharply, the opening fig ! urcs for leading' futures being Hljc above yesterdays closing range. Later, a ! runner advance or iic was scored, and ; reactions, though -frequent, were only na- tural. ! A feature of the day was contradic I tory news from abroad. Public cables read: "Spot wheat easy and a penny lower: grain futures easy with prices tending i down ror wneat. rnvate cables were in ; a majority of cases extremely bullish in tone and as these were generally accompanied : by generous buying orders they appeared to have by far greater influence. There were ; practically no deliveries to day on maturing ; August contract?, an unusual thing, and one that helped sensational buying, New York parties bought largely in this market today, and all the surrounding markets were higher, races for Septem ber wheat eased off ic from tbe highest point to the close during the last hour, but there was a net gain lor the day in leading futures or li to lie, and an export order for 160,000 bushels of No. 2 spring wheat iwas tilled here, and another like or der could not be executed here at the limits named. A good speculative business was trans acted in corn, and tbe feeling developed i was quite nrm. There was good general buying ali day, while offerings were ex ceedingly i limited. Tne market opened considerably excited at iJc advance over the closing prices of yesterday, was firm and advanced lc, reacted fc, and closed lie higher than yesterday. Delivery and Au gust contracts were next to nothing, show ing that shippers hold considerable corn, land this together with the active demand for cash created considerable strength. jibe quantity on the ocean passage showed moderate decrease, and more de ferred deliveries were in better demand and ranged higher. I In oats a firm feeling prevailed, with prices showing fc advance for August, and iOic improvement ror deterred futures. There were no deliveries on August con tract, the reason for this was said to be that stocks consist mainly of old oate. which are held at premium over August or new pats prices. Arrivals to-day were also much below estimates of yesterday, and the .up turn in wheat and corn waa an important factor in stimulating .the demand.; There was quite a free covering by shorts. I Interest in provisions centred in pork, which was active, strong, and prices ad vanced 30c from the opening prices, but re Ceded 7c and closed at a net gain of 22c. Deliveries on August contracts were light, being 12.000 to 15,000 barrels. Outsiders sent in fair buying orders. The shorts also bought liberally. Offerings were not large and prices were easily bid up. Deliveries of lard were about 8,000 tierces. Trading was moderate and prices changed small. No short ribs were delivered. Speculators took bold moderately, and September ad vanced from $8 50 to 8 60, and closed at $8 55 a net gain over yesterday of 2J5c. THE JUTE TRUST A Combination to Advance, tbe Cost or Cotton Bagging. IBy Telegraph to the Kornlns Star.) St. Louis. August 1. It now seems that the jute combine has secured sufficient control of bagging manufactures to con trol the market. It is claimed that Warren, Jones & Gratz are at the head of the trust, and they decline to deny or affirm the statement. They own-the Southern and Standard mills of St Louie, and mills at Munice, India. Some of the largest Eastern mills are in the combine, the most promi nent being L. Watternburg & Co., and Nevins & Co., of Boston. j I The mills shut down are at St. I Louis; Peru, Ind. : the Crescent Jute Co., New Orleans: W. J. Tapp & Co.. Louisville: Hart Bagging Co., Brooklyn, S. Y., and a numner cr small mills in the States of 11 linois and Indiana. The output of all the mills is fifty million yards of bagging, suf ficient to cover a crop of seven million bales of cotton. The present crop is expected to exceed seven million, and the demand for bagging will be brisk. The Ludlow Bagging Co. is tho only concern of any magnitude" running inde pendently, and its output is only six million yards, nearly all of which has already been placed at about seven cents. j The price fixed by the combine is llf cents, or an additional clear profit of 4f cents per yard. There is no scarcity of raw material to justify the increase, but the cotton producing section seems to be at the mercy of the combine. II ALABAMA. ! Trouble Wltb Illicit Distillers In Bibb County.
