I I - For Senator Tenth District, New Han over and Brunswick: RUFUS GALLOWAY, WHAT IS AT STAKE ? . We have heretofore asserted and we repeat it here that the people of North Carolina were never called upon to vote at an election on which more depended than will depend upon the election to be held on the Cth of November. Whichever party carries the election will have the ap pointment of the county magistrate s, and through these the selection of the Boards of County Commission ers, Boards of Education and Boards f Finances. Through these boards they will practically have Control of an the counties in the State. This 'sarnie reason why the Fus'ionists are making such strenuous efforts to cap ture the Legislature, for f they be cure that they have altf-these, and then county government, as we have ' now, will be as dead as a salted mackerel. It the Democratic party, "c uuiwarn oi conservatism, goes -uown, county government goes down with it, and both will be, in the lan suage of the distinguished fusion statesman of the county of Madison tit. . . . . i - .ounedmthe same grave." If the black-and -tan combination wins, up goes the mongrel system of county government on the rutins of the pres ent, and statesman Jeter and States (via. ir J "u jviarion can join hands and dance with joy. Through the Boards of Education VOL. XXV. they will control our public schools, and no man or woman who is not a Populist or a Radical would stand a ghost of a chance of teaching in these schools, provided the combine could find enough of their party who had been through the elementary books to take the places. The Legislature will also elect a Railroad Commissioner, Trustees of the University, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Raleigh, of the Normal and Industrial school at Greensboro, and will have charge of our charitable instutions. But the Supreme Court is also at stake, for four out of the five Judges are to be elected, six Superior Court Judges and twelve Solicitors and a State Treasurer, a verv important officer, for it is he who has the hand ling and keeping of the, people's money, which has been paid in for taxes, licenses, &c. Isn't all this worth making a de termined fight for ? The possession of the Legislature alone, as the law-making power, is of vital importance to the conserva tive people of the State, even4f there was nothing else involved, and there were no magistrates, no county com missioners, no boards of education, or of finances, no railroad commis sioners, no educational or charitable institutions to be considered. With a rattle-brain, revolutionary Legislature more harm could be done in one session of sixty days than six years of level-headed, con servative legislation could undo, for it would take many years to restore the confidence which would be shat tered by the election of such a legis lature. We can judge of the effect in this State by what the effect has been in other States where this revo lutionary element have been in the ascendency and held power. They have blighted the prospects of every Mate where , they have made their power felt, and so would they blight the prospects of this State if they got into a position to put their revolutionary, progress destroying policies into effect. Give this revolutionary combination con trol of the law making, law-interpret ing and law enforcing departments of the Government and it would be worse for North Carolina than if a cyclone or a conflagration swept over it from the seashore to the mountain- crest, for these would sweep over and leave desolation .behind them, but the people would re-build their levelled or burned homes, and find peace and content under their roofs, but with the hell this combine would kindle there would be neither peace, nor content nor safety under any roof. Is this an exaggeration ? Look back a couple decades, and by what has been judge what may be when power passes into the hands of men as reckless, daring and unscrupulous as were the men who in the midst of peace set the civil law aside, brought in hireling soldiery from another State and declared martial law, to in timidate citizens and hold the power which they had abused and felt slip ping from their grip. " Is there nothing in all this to ex cite alarm and arouse the patriot ism of all true State-loving North Carolinians? Will we see imperilled, without a resolute attempt to save it, all that the men of twenty-four years ago, with heroic effort won in the face of hireling soldiery and martial despotism? The liberties of North Carolinians are really in more danger now than they were twenty- four years ago when the issue was made between a military despotism and the resolute courage and fearless ballots of men determined to rebuke the despotism and be free. They did. They saved North Carolina, crushed the conspirators who sought to crush them, and drove the gang from power, some of whom retired forever to the obscurity from which they sprang, others sought pastures in more congenial surroundings and others, loaded with plunder, refu- geed to keep out of the penitentiary, But the next Legislature will elect two United States Senators. If the combination wins there will be one Republican and one Populist, for that is the bargain entered into between the bargainers. The loss of two Senators would deprive the Demo a crats of the control of the Senate, which would put an end to all legis lation of a Democratic character, There would be no more tariff legis lation, no financial legislation, no more pension reform, for the hands of this Democratic administration would be absolutely tied, and it could do nothing which did not meet with the aDDroval of the small a number which would hold the bal ance of power. With the Senate as close as it is are not two Senators worth fiehtinK for? that is, it we want the work of reform to go on. The combine is playing for big stakes, not only for the Legislature, but for the judiciary, for the control of the counties, for Congressmen and for two Senators, and they are playing their game for all it is worth, If they win they will be well repaid for the fight they are making; If we lose no man living can tell how long - -I it will take to recover the loss. ' 1HE WEEK1A' TAR ; A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune calls attention to the fact that in twenty years past the Republicans have not been able to hold the House two successive terms, and in that time they have only held the popular branch of Congress twice, and they were tfie Forty-seventh Congress, when War ren B. Keifer, of Ohio, was Speaker, and the Fifty-first, when Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, was the Czar." ' If the Populists were elected bv the popular vote and not by the Electo ral College, the Democrats would have had nearly all the Presidents, too.' Statesman Pritchard, of Madison county, he who is holding his- "prin ciples in abeyance" made a Repl Pop. speech in Durham the other night. His review of the Demo cratic administration is said to have been "caustic." The reporter pro bably, meant to have written caw- stici In 1843 Henry Clay didn't think there was any danger of a "high protective tariff ever being estab lished in this country." If Mr. Clay could have taken in the situation un der McKinleyism he would have to own up that he was very consider ably mistaken. Miss Wrede, a young lady of Fin-' land, spends her time visiting the prisons in that country and talking to the prisoners, . many of whom have been reformed by her friendly efforts. We should have a lot of Miss Wredes to turn loose on the Republican party in this country. The Atlanta Journal thinks "an effective muzzle for the New York Sun would mean thousands of votes for D. B. Hill." And then the Sun would have its growl. . A book published in Chicago bears the title, "Is a man worth as much as a horse ?" That depends some what on the man and on the horse, and who is doing the buying and the selling. ' ' Have you received a bill for sub scription to the Weekly Star re cently? If so, is it correct?

I FITZSIMMONS HAS SIGNED. He Even Iet the "Dor Collar" Feature 8tand. The dispute between James J. Cor- bett a,nd Robert Fitzsimmons over an insertion of a clause in their articles of agreement to govern their coming battle relative to tbe r olice uazette belt, says tbe Herald, has been amicably settled. Captain Glori, the manager of Fitzsim mons, called at the Herald omce yester day and said that "Bob" had decided to allow the disputed clause to remain un changed. Tbe Captain brought with him the articles of agreement signed by Fitz. and they were immediately for warded to Corbett for his signature. The stipulations in regard to tbe club having the right to name the referee and the size of the gloves to be worn by the principals nave been modified, tbe con sent of both men having been obtained. They now read: "1 be club snail name the referee, but be must be satisfactory to both principals." and the "gloves to be used must weigb five ounces. We didn t mean to allow Corbett to crawl out of the fight on a little tech nicality like that, said Olori, "so we de cided to clinch matters at once. We want it distinctly understood tbat we don't want anything to do with tbe belt. If 'Fitz defeats Corbett. and 1 feel very confident tbat he will have no trouble In polishing off the champion, he will make tte latter a present ot tne Deit. Mr. Brady's remarks about our stake money are in very bad taste, I think. Tbe first deposit of $2,500 was posted in time, and Mr. Brady can rest assrued tbat we will be on band with the re mainder when the proper time comes. Charleston's Fall Festival. Although the proposed "Deep Water Festival" in Charleston was abandoned. the business men there will have a "Fall Festival." The subscriptions to date amount to $3,621 00, with two sub-com mittees to hear from. The total amount will probably be about $3,000 possibly, more The dates of the Festival are not given. The following is. the pro gramme as annoUuced: "The proeramme as arranged will eive two grand firework exhibitions, on Tuesday and Friday nights, harbor ex cursions .

BOILED LEMON PUDDING. . Two ' cups of dry bread crumb?, one cup powdered beef suet, four table spoonfuls flour prepared, one half cup sugar, one'; large lemon. All the juice and half the. peel, four eggs, whipped light; one I cup ot milk a large one. Soak the bread crumbs in the milk, add the suet, beat eggs and sugar together and these well into the soaked bread. To these put the lemon, lastly the flour; beaten in with as few strokes as will suffice to mix up all into a thick batter, Boil three hours in a buttered mould Eat hot with wine sauce. v PLAIN BOILED PUDDING. One cup loppered milk or cream, one- half cup molasses, one-half cup butter, melted; two and one-halt cups flour, two even teaspoonfuls of soda, dissolved in hot water; a little salt. Mix molasses and butter together and beat until very light. Stir in the cream or milk, and salt; make a hole in the flour, pour in the mixture. Stir down tbe flour gradually until it is a smooth batter. Beat in the soda-water thoroughly, and boll at once in a buttered mould, leaving room to swell. It should be done in an hour and a half. Eat hot with a good sauce. JELLY PUDDINGS. Two cups of very fine stale biscuit or breadcrumbs; one cup rich milk halt cream, it you can get it; lave eggs, beaten very light; one-half teaspoonful soda, stirted in boiling water; one cup sweet jelly, jam or marmelade. Scald the milk and pour over the crumbs. Beat until halt cold, and stir in tbe beaten yolks, then whites, finally the soda. Fill large cups half full with tbe batter; set in a quick oven and bake half an hour. When done, turn out quickly and dexterously; with a sharp knife make an incision in the side of each; pull partly open, and put a liberal spoonful of the conserve within. Close in slit by pinching the edges with your fingers. Eat warm with sweetened cream. THE C. F. AND Y. V. MAIL. If the Patrons of the Several Postoffioes They Can Want Sunday Mail Service Get It. .-. - Mr. S. W. Vickery, Superintendent of Railway Mail Service, reports to the Department that all but seven of the postmasters on the line of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway have informed him that the patrons of their offices do not desire a Sunday mail ser vice, There are about fifty post-offices on the C. F. and Y. V. road, and it would appear that only the patrons of about one-seventh of these offices desire Sun day mail service. Is this the result of religious scruples? If so, there has been a marvel ous improvement in the people referred to. But, as a matter of fact, are the post masters correct in this matter? Have a majority of the patrons of each office said they did not want this increased service, which -will not cost them a nickel ? The Star asks for a recount. It sug gests that a sort of primary be held at each office at which each patron be per mitted to vote yea or nay. If they want the mail let them have it. The Govern ment will give the additional service, and the people can get their news eyery day in the week, and thus keep abreast of the times. ; ! It should not be overlooked that tbe postmasters have nothing to do with this matter further than to ascertain the wishes of their patrons. If a, majority of these at each office desire the addi tional service, it is the duty of tbe post master to so inform the department. These be stirring times; and when it costs the people nothing to haye their news seven times a week instead of six, they should have it tbat is, if they want it. J ' , j Bepnblican Local Folitios. There is much talk and there are many rumors concerning tbe outcome of Republican plans in. this county. The most reasonable conclusion is tbat no definite plan has yet been formulated. There are conflicting interests, appar ently, that have not yet been fully rec onciled; but many of tbe Republicans say they will "do something." which means that they will bring out some sort of a ticket. There seems to be a growing impres sion now that our revered neighbor-in-law, Gee Zee. late of the county of Pen der, will not be a candidate for Sheriff, but will continue to sit "under his own vine and fig tree" and cultivate the 'paternal acres" near Rocky Point in strawberries, lime and other vegetables. This reported change in the programme has revived the rumor tbat Elijah .acha- riah Hewlett will be the candidate for Sheriff; while Stacey Shakespeare Van Amringe will aspire to the guardianship of the money bags of New Hanover county. I STEAM PI LOT j BOATS To be Used by the Pilots Association of Eouthport. The Pilots' Association of Southport, having resolved to discard sailing boats, have purchased from Capt. T. J. Harper the steamerslra!?r ones and Blanche for use in their service. The price paid for the two tugs, with the good will, is said to be twenty-six thousand dollars. Capt. Harper went down to Southport yesterday to make tbe transfer. On Monday the new owners will take charge and at once inaugurate the new order of things. The Tones, under command of Capt. T. J. Adkins, will be used as the pilot boat for sea work, and the Blanche for towing. The Jones will begin the work at once. "An Excellent Paper." Norfolk Ledger The Wilmineton fN. C.)

The Young Men's business League of i Denver, Col presents a striking lesson illustrating tbe effect of populism upon values not prices, but values. IFour years ago Colorado ranked pext td New York in the borrowing power ol her property. Now it is practically impos sible to borrow anything upon the re sources of the State. "Populist rule in Colorado," saysf the league, "has been like a devastating for est fire." By destroying credit, which is the life of commerce, it has consumed for the time being not less than $$00,- 000.000 of values in the State. The State's ; borrowing power, this main spring of her splendid progress, has been temporarily paralyzed by tbe acci dental ascendency of a party which stands for repudiation and fiatism an$ is not a true mend to bard silver money. Now, as to values, in the single city of Denver: The property of Denver was assessed for $100,000,000, and was woijjth three times that sum when the Populists got into power. Notwithstanding the city s inevitably brilliant future, tbe av erage selling price of this property, pending the overthrow of Waiteism, his shrunk two-thirds. "Silver has de clined ! only 25 per cent., or les than the average products of thje other States, while the : increased value and output of gold, together with our beautiful crops, have more than made up the shortage. Therefore, not over one-half of our shrinkage of value can be charged to the panic and the uni versai depreciation resulting irom tn gold standard." These facts should appeal to the Dem ocrats ol Georgia to strike Populism blow wherever they find it. What ha: : irred in Colorado is liable to occur! wnerever the foes of Democracy Pop-i olists or Republicans win the ascen dency. WENT WILD OVER WILSON.

Cumberland is all right; the county candidates are in tbe field now, and the hitherto apathetic people are waking up to the great issue at stake, the duty ot saving the State, ABOUT COTTON. Habbard, Prioe & Co.'s Beport ot the Situation Enormous Crop Movement Prices Lower Than Ever Known Mast Bring a Lioss to Nearly Every One Who Produces the Staple. New York, Oct. 18. Notwithstand ing an improved demand" for cotton from the American spinners, the de cline in the market has continued until prices have touched a lower level than known to anyone in the trade. In L verpool prices have touched a lower level than ever before recorded, but without -the markets showing any signs of recovery either at home or abroad, This situation is largely due to the demoralization in trade circles.which is a result of the continued decline in the price ot wheat, and naturally causes those not directly connected with the cotton trade to look for cotton to follow in the same manner to an extremely low level of prices. The situation is simply an ideal mar ket, as looked forward to by those who have in the past supported the Anti Option bill, namely, tbat the speculative interest, which in ordinary times holds from one to two million bales ot cotton, is not interested at all in cotton, while the consumer, believing that the pro ducer will supply him with his require ments without any anxietv upon his part, is quietly awaiting the time when he can accumulate a surplus stock at extremely lowprices. How long such a situation of this character' will continueir-natuially in teresting to the man who raises eotton. and it is difficult at the moment to urn an answer to tnis question, as there are as yet no indications that the world, is prepared to buy a surplus crop of cot ton at present prices. At ome point probably in this decline tbe market will turn and turn sharply, and those who are fortunate enough to own cotton at that time will undoubtedly reap a substantial profit, as it is incredible that cotton should continue to be sold at prices which are now ruling, that nn doubtedly bring a loss to every one who produces the staple, excepting in the most favored localities and under the most favored circumstances. When this point will be reached no one at present can foresee; that it will come is almost as certain as a mathematical proposi tion, as tbe low price of American cot ton must naturally tend to drive the In dian cotton out of the market and to re strict the area which will be devoted to cotton next season materially. The market, however, at the present time depends entirely upon speculative support, and as speculation has been driven away from cotton as from other articles by the severe losses which have been incurred by those who considered the staple cheap at higher values than those now ruling, it will require a de cided change regarding the prospects either of this crop or the next to attract those who in ordinary years are apt to be large holders of cotton at higher prices than those now current. The movement ot the crop in the Southwest continues an an enormous scale, though in the Atlantic Slope the demands of the mills in that section have absorbed the large offerings of the crop and prevented any great pressure upon the Atlantic markets. We believe tbat the consumption ot American cot ton this year will exceed that of any year on record, and that at some price it will be- found that tbe sur plus has entirely- disappeared. At tbe moment, bowever, tbat rprice does not appear to be in sight, We must therefore look frankly at the situation as it presents itself to tbe mer cantile mind, namely, that so long as the producer is forcing his -product upon the consumer at a rate greater than the consumer is willing to add to his sur plus stock, the market is naturally de ll pressed. As soon as that pressure is renevea, eitner mrougn stormy weather or by the low price, or by a conviction that the crop is not as large as our friends in the Southwest shave led us to believe, then the situation will change immediately and at once for khe better; but until that period arrives. it is difficult to predicate any favorable opinion upon the market unless it be piased upon some climatic conditions kvhich at this moment are" not to be ound. ANOTHER CANDIDATE. here Will Be a Bepnblioan Candidate for Congress in the Sixth District. The Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligen- ter has the following: The Republican Executive commit tee for this Congressional District held a called meeting here last Tuesday.

There were six counties, Anson, Union, Mecklenburg, Robeson. Pender and New Hanover represented. A vote was first taken on f he question of endorsing Martin. This was defeated by a vote of 4 to 2; New Hanover and Pender voting to fuse.

This ends the litigation as far as the courts of the district are concerned and leaves the plaintiff free to collect her judgment of $15,000 and costs from Col. Breckinridge when j and how she can. Mr. Breckinridge's salary for the remainder of his Congressional term is exempt by law from seizure, and there is no provision in the laws of the District of Columbia, as there is on the statutes of some of the States, for the arrest and -detention of any person about to leave the jurisdiction of the State without complying with the judgments of its courts. " I QUANTICO TRAIN" ROBBERY. Searoey. the Suepaot, Agrees to Go to Vir ginia and Stand Trial. . By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Cumberland. Ma, October 20. At 4 o'clock this evening Charles J. Searcey, the suspected train robber, was brought into court before Judge Hoffman in habeas corpus proceedings. Searcey looked pale and was plainly nervous. After a short consultation with his law yers, Messrs. Richmond and McBeth, the latter arose and asked Judge Hoff man to dismiss the habeas corpus pro ceedings, stating tbat requisition papers would be here to-night and Searcey had been advised by bis attorneys to go to Virginia with the authorities and stand trial there. Judge Hoffman dismissed the habeas corpus proceedings and Sear cey was taken back: to the county jail, where- he will await the arrival of the Virginia authorities and will go with them to Richmond, leaving at 11 o'clock to-night. "This morning Gov. Brown, who is in Cumberland investigating alleged im morality and mismanagement in the Western Maryland Home and Infirmary, read the following telegram from the Governor of Virginia: Gov. Frank Brown, of Maryland, Cum berland, Md. , "Have iust signed ; requisition papers lor Searcey. Officer will leave here this morning at 7 o'clock for Cumberland with papers. "Charles T. O Ferrall, .'Governor of Virginia." Gov. Brown will be here to-night and will sign the requisition papers directly they are handed him on the arrival of the train. This settles the Searcey case in Cumberland, and the many detectives, express representatives and others who have been here all the week will follow the suspect further South and endeavor to prove his guilt and put him where he belongs, if he is the bad, bad man tbey think he is. i! Washington, D.'i C, October 20. Local detectives to-day profess to be lieve tbat Searcey, the man arrested at Cumberland for complicity in the Aquia Creek train robbery, and Morganfield, the suspect held in Cincinnati, had nothing to do with the express robbery, but obtained tbe money found on them in a recent robbery at Baltimore. The officials of the Adams Express Co. differ and claim that Searcey and Morganfield were with the Aquia creek gang. To-day the Express people received information which showed that articles found on Searcey were taken from the express car. He had with him a number of bars of soap and tbe manifest of the goods in the car show tbat soap similar to that found in his valise was among the stolen goods. There is one thing the Express Company officials do not explain, however, and that is how Sear cev and Moreanfield came into posses sion ot so much silver money, in view of the statement of the Express Company that there was no silver in the looted car. ; Cincinnati. October 20. A morn ing paper publishes an elaborate state ment holdine that Morganfield was not in the Aquia Creek, Virginia, robbery, but that be and bis pals, who are be- lieved to be hiding about this city, re- cently did another job equally atrocious that will soon be developed. It is con ceded tbat Morganfield and Sear cey are partners, and were to gether at Washington, Cumberland and other places, but that Mor- ganfield's gang was doing one job while Searcey s gang was doing anotner, It was claimed that this is tbe reason the city authorities contested the action of Manager Fogg yesterday in trying to attach the $1,200 for the Adams Express Company. All tbe authorities and de tectives refuse to disclose the other job. UNITED DEMOCRACY. Harmony to be Restored in New York by Hugh J. Grant. Special to the Baltimore Sun Washington, Octeber 19. Advices have been received here that Mr. Straus will accord Mr. Grant his cordial sup- The two men have always been the best of friends.; In fact, it was Mr. Grant who-appointed Mr. Straus, al though not a member of Tammany. Hall, a member of the park commission, in which capacitv he displayed commend- able ability. Senator Faulkner, chair man of the Democratic Congressional Committee, when asked to-day what ef fect the withdrawal ol Mr. Straus would have, upon the State ticket, re plied that it would have none at all: He belied that Mr. Grant would be as strone a candidate as Mr. Straus.
