The Nicaragua Canal
ReadAdmiral-Ammen, who has
been for so many years intimately
ideatified with Nicaragua-carial
matters, having been appqiritedjby
President- Grantas one trf a corn-
mission to examine into all canal
surveys made at points where airy
possible favorable route1 neould be.
had, wT rites a very interesting let-
ter to the Times-Union, of Jack
sdhvllTe, reviewing the history of
this project and urging its impor
tance. Admiral Ammon quotes a
statement of President Grant, that
the canal is of such importance
that "it should be considered as a
great national question, and should
have the support of all parties."
Nctwrithstanding this however, Ad
miral Ammen writes: "Should
the construction of the Nicaragua
Canal be taken up by the demo
cratic party, as suggested by the
Times-Union, with its preponder
ating majority in the House, it
would not fail to pass. It would,
in my beliel, receive almost unani
mous support of the republicans
both in the House and Senate.
It is now apparent to the people
of the South, especially those bor
dering the gulf, and to the people
bordering the affluents of the
great Mississippi river, that the
construction of this canal would
make an overproduction of. cotton
at fair prices impossible. It would
open a market for tens of millions
of tons ot coal for gulf ports to
supply the thousands of steam
ships that would pass through the
canal and bevond into the Pacific,
where their coal would have liter
ally 'the inside track.' It would
stimulate ship-yards over the
m hole country and the manufact
urers of the North and give us
profitable markets over the whole
Pacific, and notably in the Sand
wich Islands and Australia, besides
those of the Asiatic coasts."
Continuing, Admiral Aaimen
called attention to the fact, which
has previously benn published in
the Manufacturers' Record, thai
President Grant -'claimed that on
the completion of the Nicaragua
Canal China and Japan would re
quire more than 5,000,000 bales of
cotton a year. Presidents Haves.
Arthur and Harrison were all em
phatic in their mdorsments in
regard to the constructions of this
canal, but there were opposing in
fluence that prevented favorable
action, especially in view of the
fact that thedemocarts,a8 a party,
were not favorably disposed, al
though the canal has had no more
able and ardent supporter than
Senator Morgan."
The statesmen made by Adrai
r.U Ammen, while not new to the
readers of the Manufactures'. Pte
cord, are worthy of reiteration un
til every man in this country, and
especially everyone in the South,
becomes imbued with the detirmi-
nation to do all . in his power to
press upon Congress the impor
tance of this great work. ;
The Manufacturers' Record ber
lieves in its value from a broad
national point of view, but espe
cially because of the infinite value
it would be to the South. No one
can lully estimate the sfood that
the building cf this canal would do
to the entire .South.. We believe
that it is a reasonable etaternenf
to say that it would annually add
to the wealth of the South more
than ' the entire cost of the con-
construction of the canal. It is in
the- power ot Congress at its next
session to enact such legislation as
will'insure the sarly construction
of this great work. Will the
South make itself felt by an active
interest in this vital question, so
essential to its owu Droeress and
peosperity. Manufacturers Rec

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
Washington Letter.
CorrsDondence of Courier.
Washington, Oct. 29, '94:
That the continued silence of Pres
ident Cleveland concerning the
New York campaign is not pleas
ing to the average democrat it is
useless to deny. True, it is not
too late for him to say a good word
for the plucky fight that Senator
Hill is making, but nothing that
he can now say will, in the opinion
or experienced campaigners, do a9
much good to the party in that
state as ordinary circumstances it
would not be considered necessary
for the President to say that he
wishes to see the ticket nominated
by his party in any state election,
but in New York, even aside from
the known personal relations ex
isting between the President and
Senator Hill, there are peculiar
circumstances which made such an
expression of opinion desirable,not
only for its effect upon the vote
cast for the State ticket but to aid
the democratic candidates in the
Congrf ssional districts.
Although no stock is taken here
in the claim of the government of
Germany that its decree prohibit
ing the importation ot American
caUle and dresseit beef was issued
because there was Texas fever in
two cargoes of American cattle,
lately carried to -that country, the
Department of Agriculture ...has
taken steps to investigate' the
claim. If it be true, as believed,
that Germany's real reason .is to
retaliate, because of the differen
ential duty on her sugar imposed
by the new tariff, somebody has
blundered, and the blunder'may
defeat the intention, already "ex
pressed, to repeal that duty at the
coming session of Congress.
Representative Davey, of La.,
was in Washington on business
several days ago, says the talk a
bout electing several republican
Congressmen from that State,
which'republicans are indulging
m, strikes him as being very ab
surd. He thinks the only district
in which the revolting sugar plant
ers aae numerous . and influential
enough to have even a fighting
chance of defeating the democratic
candidate for . Congress in the Se
cond, and that the democrats will
carry that by a very small margin
The othee five Congressional dis
tricts, he says, will be certain to go
democratic, as usual.
It is difficult to see where the
republicans are to make, the gains
necessary to deprive the democrats
of the present large majority in
the House, when the returns of the
carefulcanvass made bv democrats
in every section of the country,
now being received ' by the demo
cratic Congressional campaign
committee, are studied. From In
diana, where the republicans have
been claiming evetything, comes
the news that the- democrats will
certainly carry ten of the eleven
Congressional districts carried by
them in 1892, and had a good
chance to carry the eleventh ; from
Wiscorisin,where ridiculous claims
have also been made by republi
cans, comes the declaration that
the democrats will be certain to
carry five ot the six districts they
carried in 1892, with a fighting
chance in the two other districts,
and from North Carolina, where
the republicans and populists have
formed a fusion which at one time
did look dangerous, comes the as
surance that the legislature, which
will elect two U. S. Senators, will
certainly be democratic, and that
the Congressional delegation will
be solidly democratic, gain of one
member.
Senator Faulkner, who, in addi
tion to the knowledge he has ac
quired as chairman of the Con
gressional campaign committee,
knows the district as well as the
voters personally and thoroughly,
says he regards chairman Wilson's
re-election to Congress aa being
well-nigh certain, and he would
regard it as absolutely certain were
it not for the fear that large sums
of money, . which report says has
been contributed by the protested
manufacturera who are anxious to
defeat Mr. Wilson, will be spent
in the outright purchase of votes
There is no law providing for a
registration of voters in West Vir
gidia, consequently there is some
opportunity for the manipulation
of a largn crooked floating vote.
However Senator Faulkner says
this danger will be minimizod by
the vigilance of the democrats. Of
course no amount of vigilance can
prevent a legal voter selling his
vote, if he be so disposed, but they
can be detected and both they and
their 1 ribers punished, and they
will be, wherever possible.
"If I were asked," paid a demo
crat of national reputation, "to
criticise the work done by the
democratic Congressional cam
paign committee, this year, I know
of but one thing with which I
would find fault. I don't think
the committee has made the fusion
of the republicans with the popu
lists in six states as widely known
in some sections of the country as
it should. I think democratic
votes would won hi have been
made in the Middie and Eastern
States, if in no other section, by
widely advertising the fact that
the republicans were supporting
populist candidates for Congress
in Virginia, North Carolina, Geor
giw, Alabama, Arkansas and Tex
as, while members of the same
party were asking the votes of the
business men of other-States on
the ground that it was the only
party which believed in an honest
and sound financial system. The
American people do not believe in
hypocricy, in politics or anything
else, and it would have paid the
dimocrats to have shown up this
republican duplicity."

M urler Most Fonl-
The details of a most horribla
murder comes, from Bullock's, a
statian on the O. & C, thi3 side ot
Oxford. It was committed on last
Friday, the 26th, just leaked out
yesterday morning, as the parties
to the affair attempted to keep it
hid.
All of the parties or colored peo
ple rud the murder, from all the
evidence that can be obtained,
was committed by children not
over 12 years, and all related to
each other.
Lucy Allen, a girl not more than
10 or 12 years old, and whoso
mother, Lucyndy Allen, lives in
Henderson, - was visiting in com
pany with her sister, Mary, Allen
their grandfather, a colored man
named Brown, at Bullock's. A
cousin of these two girle Yenable
Brown, was also there and it seems
that Mary Allen and the boy Yen
anle did not like lucy. There ia
something behind this fact wh'ch
we have been unable to get; out
this is the preface to the horrible
story.
On Friday last she was murder
ed.
. For fear it would get out Lucy
Allen was buried without an in
vestigation and her grandfather
would have nothing to do with the
case or even report if. By some
means it leaked out. Yesterday
morning' J. N. Brown, a constable,
and Dr. W. O. Bask3rville from
Oxford came over to Bullock's
and had the body exhumed. The
strongest evidence W8s adduced
that she was murdered. There
was a deep cut under one eye, one
hand was split in two lengthwise,
and she was terrible beaten up
about -the head as the bruises
(showed. This was not all, The
investigation brought to light the
fact the boy had used one of thes
cap pistols and had fired it about
over the body and burnt holes ia
ths clothing and flesh.
Yenable Brown was arrested and
carried to Oxford yesterday, whert
he is now in jail held for the mui
der of his cousin. The sister of th
murdered girl is also impilcated,
but she had gone back to Hender
son, neiore the investigation was
made. Officers were to have gone
there last night or this morning to
arrest her. Durham Sun

father is 70 and its mother 69
years old. The parents are prom

this section halt at the age t f 55

not usually subjects for publation
but this is likely to -be a case oi

The News is unduly excited a-

surprising, moreover, that such a
thing has happened in this section

that the Bewcomer war not born
