\ PHiLAD&pniA, PA., )
Jdm lrt, 1896. /
The number of visitors ia steadily in
oreasieg and the interest ia the exhi
bition daily grows stronger. This has
been the oaee with all previous exhibitions
of this kind, particularly that at Vienna,
where the number of attendants steadily
iaoreased as soon U the exhorbitant
prices, unadjusted by the Viennese, wen
reduced to reasonable figures. The
same causes produce like results here
and ia Vienna. The Philadelphisns
thought that patriotism aad a desire to
Ase the wonders of art aad nature col- _
looted would iadnee every one to visit
the Centennial Exposition, regardless o(
post, and they came near killing the goose
that was expected to lay the golden
eggs Every thing that a stranger was
bound to have, that is food, lodging,,
and transportation, was at onoe advidffc%l \
in price. came first wore
unmercifully fleeced and their deuuogirZ
at ion of the overcharges kept
from coming, until the people have seen
the mistake they had made and redaecd
pricts to a reasonable figure. If the
railroads will now follow suit the result
will be that some millions of people will
oome here who will sot at the present
rates Decoration day released so many
persons from work that the attendance
was nearly aa great as on the opening
day, and this holiday shows partly what
the Sunday attendance would be. Not
more than half, I think not more than
one quarter, of the people of the eity ob
served the 30th aa a holiday aad yel the
number of visitors to the grounds was
more thaa doable that of any day since
the opening. This proves that on Han
day more than dne hundred thousand
would enter the gates- Any religious
or aaoral man who will go on Sunday
and spend the day in passing round the
grounds will at onoe Bay ■'open them."
1 A hundred thousand people collected.
The beer saloons and whisky dens
crowded. Drunken men staggering
home in the evening some of them ac
companied by their wives and children.
Young girls dating their rain from a
Sunday outaide these walls from which I
write, are the strongest arguments that
pan be made in fevqr of opening oa gun
day. None but Puritans who have no
conception, or at ieaat a very narrow
one of the good aad beautiful, sbjsft, ;
end their prejudices should not be per.
mitted to rale in this matter. I hope
every paper in the country will at oaee
make a vigorous demand for Sunday
opening.
A splendid display of the antiquities of
the aooad builders of Ohio is now
opened aad attracts maoh attention.—'
Too little attention bee been given to
these relies el aa extinct race aad the
display made here will probably excite
the isUerest of some waidtby persons or
societise to have a more extended search
made iato the history of these former
inhabitants of oar country. The writer
of this bee visited some extensive fortifi
cations aad large monads ia the valley
of the Mississippi, whieh if examined
might load to discoveries that would do

The Australian exhibits were many of
them damaged aad some irretrievably
raised by a leak ia the ship whieh

Don't Fail to Boad This-
Let amybody read carefully the fal
lowing letter, written from Jones county;
ia this State, to the Goldsboro Meuen
gtr. Verily, ii is time to change the
Constitution that permits saeh gross out
rages. Because white people are poor
it is no reason why they should be put
under negro masters:
"This oonaty has had for tho past five
or six years three negro commissioners
and but two white, all Republicans, as
it seems no others can be elected in this
oounty, having never had sinco 1868-'9
bat one Demooratio oounty offioer, (reg
ister of deeds) eleoted by the people,
.and he held office Car only a brief period
of two years. It has been the custom
in this county under Iladioal rule ever
since the adoption of the Constitution of
1868-'9, to hire or Ist out the paupers
of the oounty to tho lowest bidder, and
at pablio auction, but not until within a
| few years past, indeed not till the 'civil
righto bill' was agitated in Congress and
throughout the oountry, have the ne-
Koes had the impadenoe to bid unre
voked on white paupers. They now
assert, or some of them do, that they
have the same right to bid for white
paupers, as tho whites have to bid for
negro paupers, claiming the same rights
aad equality before the law tho whites
eejoy.
"It has beoome so common in this
oounty for negroes to bid at auction for
white paupers, of both texct and without
regard to age, that it has almost oeased
to excite surprise aud but little indigna
tion, and competition in bidding at such
auctions is as spirited aad brisk with our
negroes aa it would be at the sale of any
personal property. The aged, lame,
blind and infirm of both text* are alike
aabjeet to this indignity. The blind man
alluded to ia your report has a wife and
several ehildren, he only of tho family
being a pauper, aad he generally sup
ported himaelf by a Httle allowance made
him by the county. He baa on sereral
occasions been bid of by negroes. An
other aged white man who has a family
and himaelf afflicted with cancer, has
on one or two ocoaaions been bid off by
negroes. But a year or two ago au
aged blind lady, a pauper, but respiota
ble, was put up at anotion to the lowest
bidder, and she was bid off by a negro.
When told who had bid her off the burst
into tears and with uplifted hands grop
ing bar way through the crowd, begged
her friends 'For God's sake, spare me !
save me P All who witnessed this piti.
ful seeae stood appalled.
"None of the white paupers bid off by
negroes will live or go with them, aa
they would likely prefer death by star
vation aooner than yield to be made
aiavea to negro masters. Their friends
and acquaintances generally intercede
and provide homes for them.
"A stranger from the) Western part of
this State, who was present at the last
letting, aad witneaaed the scene in dis
gust, remarked i 'lf this ia the condi
tion of the whites in the negro counties
of Eastern Carolina, may the good Lord
deliver us ia the West'
"If any avidencc is wanted to sustain
these charges, you ean inspect our oounty
records or oall upon the antionoar, who
has acted for several years in that ca
pacity, and is himself a Republican, aud
fatly oognisant of the frets. Several
instances are known of negroes threaten
ing to whip white men, eursing and
ahusiag them, and pulling off coats for
a fight. Sneh are the insults and in
dignities we have to suffer and bear at
the handa of negro radicals, the white
radicals, officers and others, being afraid
to offend a friend aad brother, aa he has
a vote to give them, aad if charged with
beloagiag to the negro party, they will
pretend to get iaaulted. Such ie radioal-
Ms in Jones oounty."

Beeoluttona of the Stat* Ctenmttan.
lathe Into meotii«at Raleigh of the
State Executive CoHWalttee of the Coa-
servative party, the following resolutions '
worn unanimously adopted t
Retolved, That this Committee in is- .
suing the oall for the State Convention j
cordially invite the hearty co-operation
of all, without regard to former distino- i
tion or personal estrangement, who are ,
opposed to the reckless extravaganoc, |
glaring corruption nod dangerous usur- i
potion of the Radical party. I
RetohtJ, That the chairman of the (
different ooaaty organisations be re
quested to put themselves at onoe in
correspondence with the Central Execu
tive Committee, and where there are no
oounty organisation, prominent members
of the party will notify the oommittee of
the foot, and recommend saitable persons .
to constitute such oommittee.
Resolved, That the basis of repreoea
tation in the State Convention, subject
to its ratifioatioa, ahall be the Merrimon
aad Caldwell vote, aad that one delegate
be allowed for each 100 Detnocratio
votes and an additional one for eaoh
fraotion over AO votes.
Resolved, That the nomination for
offices should be made at a regular oon- '
rotlsn, called Bat tluA Hnou, to meats
at some central point, of which due ana
timely notice shall be given. I
Rooked, That the accusation against
W. R- Cox, chairman of this committee,
of oonspiring to deprive R. M. Norment,
of Robeson county, of his rights as a
oitisen at the election for delegates to
the constitutional convention, ia, in our
opinion, utterly groundless, and that the
institution of proceedings for his arreet
so long after the allowed offence, and
on the eve of the meeting of thia com
mittee, is a wretched attempt at intimi
dation, and but an illustration of the
vile prostitutian of law and legal process
to the purpose of manufacturing polit
ioal capital, eo generally practioed
throughout the South by the Republican i
party.
Retobed, That we doubt not that all
good people of whatever party affiliation,
will see the baae purpose of this un
founded prooeoution, snd that its in
stigators, whoever thoy may prove to be,
will receive their rewardof condemnation
ond aontempt.
Retoleed, That the good of the State
and interests of the party, which are
ideutioel, demands that the personal
warfare between the Sentinel and Daily
News of this city shall cease and their
efforts be united for the overthrow of
Radicalism in this State; and that copies
of the resolution be transmitted by the
Secretary to the editors of those papers.

Tho man la question had long boon a

average, a quart and a half of brandy

of his besetting vice, he kept aloof from
his family, and at tinue shut himself up
in his room for days together, ia order
to pursue his devotion to Baoobus un

straaeeof tho infidel. He had frequeaUy
been forced to abandon the brandy bottle
by the approaoh of dutorim** tremens,
