True merit shoul 1 lea 1 to pie ferment in any line of conduct nothing else should do so, xcept in the case of the worthy who are in need, then if we can be both j-ist and rrK-rous, well Mitchell and IJuncombe coun ties are making efforts to secure the dispensary system. With all his extreme views on some points, Tillman, of South Carolina, has served to impress his solution o' the whiskey evil upon a reflective and progressive public. On public matters the welfare of the greatest number of persons concerned should be studiously and carefully considered. And on such questions men need not, and should not make any difference of opinion that might arise between persons a personal, private con cern. To deal with the bar room busi ness, and the whiskey traffic by the dispensary method in the hands of the State, wc believe is the test way to regulate the whiskey evil, and to have such a business pay tribute to the noblest purpose, as we cannot be rid of it, as yet. A dispensary system by the State would be best, but better by coun ties than not at 1 11. Lyman (i. (iage's reply to some friends ho intimated to him the other day that they would like to give him a public dinner before he went to Washington, was: " You must excuse me. I want no demonstration in my honor now. If, after four years of service as a member of the cabiret, my neigh bors think I have served my coun try so faithfully that they desire to show their appreciation, a din ner would do all right. I prefer, however, to en'er :ny country's service without heralding. Let my record in office speak for me." The individual in private or pub lic life who is conducting a private or public enterprise, that never acts on his own sense of duty, if it comes in contact with the opinion of the majority, is unworthy of respect, and in the end will bedis liked by that same public opinion of the majority for whose support he courted, and the end would be deserving. Let a man act out his convictions in private and in pub lic, when duty requires him to do so, in a reasonable manner, and even opponents with a spark of reason will respect him the more for it. A trimmer is to be trimmed of public support. To seiiously propose several dol lars on the hundred for a school of any kind would have been folly. Stupendous. Only 5 cents on the hundred dollars worth, added to the public money, about S-5o, arid half of the whiskey license tax $fco, about this AotiM have raised about $1,250. The $'.-5 would pay the teachers and the academy would sutlice. Hut Ma rion is not ready for this sort of school.

A lively competition is going on for every position in the State notunder the civil service Reptcseiitat ivel, tuner sis there are so many political mouths to feed that the loaves and fihcs will have to be minced out in older to give each of the expects a morsel. A meeting of the Republican members of the delegation will be held .shortly, at which time the subject will be s stemat icaily considered. Representative Skinner and his L'opulistie followers who supported Senator I'ritehard expect to have an equal chance at the pie counter. Just what portion of the pastry they are to have is not yet determined upon. The proposition is to aree upon a slate of all the Fcdeial appointments belonging to North Carolina and give it the sold endorsement of the delega tion. Senator Rutier predicts that an amicable agreement between the Republicans end renegades, as he calls tin bolters, is impossible.

Tli Appropriations by the Present Con gress Will lirrak the High Water Murk Mr. Cleveland's Instruction to lVn cioii Commissioner Murphy When the Littler Wait Appointed me Htiiiarks liy Kepreseiifatite I lialtlerlienxl. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Feb. ISM". Another billion dollar Congress ! Although the exact figures cannot be given until the last appropria tion bill has been passed, it is alieady known, and admitted by the republican chairmen of the committees on appropriations of both House and Senate, that the total appropriations will not only exceed one billion dollars, but that they will go enough beyond that amount, to break the high water record made by the previous bil lion dollar republican Congress, by an advance of thirty or forty mil lion dollars. This, too, in the face of the general republican howl about the insufficiency of revenue provided by the present tariff bill. There is little doubt that the re publican leaders have allowed the appropriations to pile up, although apparently lighting for economy by shutting ut bills even for the smallest public building, in order to make the deficit big enough to excuse the tariff bill they are en gaged in concocting. They have made a success of the big appio priations. but when the people get a whack at them in the next con gressional election, they will fiud how their excuse hasbeeu accepted. Representative Sayers, of Texas, who was chairman of the commit tee on appropriations in the last House, made a rattling good speech, attacking the extravagance of this Congress, while the sundry civil bill was before the House. Notwithstanding the amend ments made to propitiate the oppo sition, Senator Sherman, who was in charge of the arbitration treaty, was compelled to bow to the in evitable and agree to postpone further consideration of the tieaty until the next session. In a speech made by Pension CommisMorier Murphy, in answer to it-solutions commending his ad mi nisti a tion of the pension bureau, presented by a committee from two Pennsylvania G. A. li. Posts, Mr. Murphy told for the lirst time in public the instructions given him by President Cleveland when he appointed him commissioner of pensions. Whatever may be cue's opinion of many of his other poli cies, it is difticult to see how any man could have outlined in a few words a more just and patriotic pension policy than President Cleveland did when he said to Commissioner Murphy: "Mr. Murphy, I think you know my ideas of the pension bureau and the pension system. They are just these: In claims coining up for the action of the bureau, where :ii fiiid the case ( !' a woithy sol dier who served his country 'faith fully in her hour of danger, you will be lenient with him and give him the benefit of a reasonable doubt. In settling the claims of the widows and orphans, you will act in the same manner, but waste no sympathy on the unworthy." It should be placed to the credit of .Mr. Cannon, Chairman of the House Committee on appropria tions, that lie repotted adversely the resolution appropriating C0) for the erection of a stand for the use of Senators and Representa tives and their families on in auguration day, on the ground that Senators and Representatives should pay for seats, just as other people do, if they wisii to sit down to view the inaugural parade. Senator Quay is reported to have a letter wriMen by Mr. Ilanna, before McKinley's nomi nation, demanding that the Pitts burg Iron and Steel Manufac turers put a large sum of money to be used in McKinley's behalf, iind to have threatened to make it public it the McKinley crowd at tempt to get too gay with him. Quay is now in Pennsylvania, where he went to help his son "Dick" out, in the libel suit, which has beeu thrown on his shoulders by the publisher of a Pittsburg paper. When a democrat, or a populist, uses such language as Representa tive Cal.lerhead, a good Kansas republican, did before the House Hanking and Currency Committee, of which he is a member, certain republican editors invariably call it "anarchistic raving." The text of Mr. Cahlerhead's remarks was the bill naming thirteen American millionaires, among them Andy Carnegiit and Phil Armour, as in corporators of the "International Ameiican I'.ank," with authority to establish eight branch banks in other countries. This bill or a similar one has been before this Committee in several Congresses, and it was only when an attempt was made to push it through the Committee when Mr. Calderhead spoke against it, in part as fol lows: "The whole United States is in a condition of unrest. The un derhalt of the country believes that it is injured, and injured largely by the power of aggregated wealth. They actually believe it. They believe it to such an extent that large areas of the country need nothing but a leader of abili ty to give us an insurrection. That rs rhe truth, and that is the poiititical stoirn that will follow any attempt, direct or indirect, to mot por.ite the men named here into ;i piivate bank with a capital of miliums of dollais, and the plea that it is done for the benefit of international commerce will not answer that mob for it is a mob which only needs a commanding general to lead it. If the leader should happen to have the military instiuct, it would mean civil war." Tom Watson, of Georcia, recent Populist candidate for Vice-President, who is contesting the seat in Congress now held by Maj. J. C. C. Hlack, will not get the place to vhich he aspires, says a special trum Washington. The House committee on elections, which has charge ot the contest, has, it is ; said, voted unanimously to con I firm Mr. Black's title to his seat. Representative Hartlett, of Geor ' ria. a Democratic member of the , committee, will make the report in favor of Mr. Black. THE NEWS FROM RALEIGH. A LM of the More Important Bill in ihc Legislature Dunns the Past Week. CLERK SWJ SON'S CASE. He lit fuM'tl to (iive I'p His Keys and llio I.oek Were Forrtd A Hill Covering an Appropriation of ttlOO.OOO tor :lie Mnr Kntnn Hotiital faxAcd the House The Railroad Row Han Stirre l I'p Oiiite a Sensation and Miu-h l'iltrrnexs Other New. Correspondence of The Messenger. Rai.f.igh, N. C, Feb. 16, 1S97. Last night the democrats held a caucus to determine upon some united action to day when the vote will be taken on the lease bill which comes up this morning. After discussing the affair for a Lng time it was decided not to bind the members at all, but for each to vole as they thought best for the State, This railroad row has stirred up quite a sensation and much bitterness. The North Carolina Railroad Company has paid to the State Treasurer a 3jj per cent, semi annual dividend on the 30,000 shares of stock owned by the State. The total amount of this dividend is $105,000. State Auditor Ayer has received many letters from building and loan associations saying they will not do business in this State this year because of the 6 per cent, in terest law. A ten days' extra session of the Legislature may be called 10 finish business. There is very little doubt but what negroes will be given charge of the Lastern Insane Asylum (col ored) at Goldsboro. .Mr. John Nichols, of this city, ex congressman and our secretary of the State Fair Association, will probably succeed Mr. Benedict as United States public printer. A. 1). Cowles, of Stalesville, has been appointed adjutant general, and Chas. A. Cook, of Warrenton, inspector of rille practice in the State Guard. It is said John C. Dancy (colored) will be recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. He is from Salisbury. Governor Russell will not go to the inauguration probably, but the State will be represented by the adjutant general, Major Hayes and the Governor's staff. The Supreme Court vill not change any A its clerks or em ployes. Politics will not be allowed to enter .n to the employment of the force there. There are 4SS brands of fertil ize! s sold in this State, but only 9S are manufactured in the State. Some are not registered, and against these the agricultural de partment is war ning the iarmers. The news of the great improve ment in the condition of Dr. Mar shall which reaches here from Morganton i3 very gladlv received. Bills in the Legislature Feb. oth were to require deeds in trust and mortgages to be canceled off the record within ten days after they have been paid. The bill to make it indictable for a public speaker to be interrupted passed after a lively debate on different amend ments. One of the amendments, in reference to the fact that speak ers should not be allowed to use abusrve language, was to include evangelists of the Sam Jones and Bill Fife order. Resolution to appropriate 1,000 for a statue to George Peabody was antagonized and indefinitely postponed. In the Senate a biil to regulate the procuring and distribution of dead bodies for medical science came up. It was said this Siate was woefully behind other States, and if the colleges could not get subjects they would have to close. The bill was introduced at the re quest of a professor at Chapel Hill. On the night of the 10th the House was given to the negroes to hold their emancipation ceremo nies in. In the House on the 10th: To provide that in case of suit for damages brought against a person resident in another State who has property in this State can be at tached where there are unliqui dated damages. The railroad lease bill made a special order for Tues day, the 16th. The special order of the day was Hancock"s bill to "re store to the State the management and control of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad." He said the directors had met in secret session and taken control of the road, dis regarding the State's two third in terest; that they had put tlie road in the hands of the finance com mittee. Hancock won his wish and gives the Governor control. Crumpler's bill to revise the pub lic schools laws creates the State board of education of the Gov ernor, presidents of the University and State Normal School and three professional teachers to b.; elected bier.n'ady; the board to recom puted a course of study in public schools; the 1 thee of county exam incr to be abolished. Th'1 Senate t.iok up the Swinson matter, and the investigating com mittee reported that Swinson had been grossly extravagant in his office, and tha: no one had forced him to employ extra labor. In the House on the nth a biil was introduced to provide for the redemption of land after sile, ifn der execution or mortgage, mak ing it lawful to redeem land . ithin two years after sale upon payment of the sum pud for purcnase, to gether with interest, provided both shall not exceed principal and in terest of original debt, and at sale a certificate of sum paid be given. The "fellow servants" bili passed without a dissenting vote. This bill gives any employee of a rail road rigrit to sue for damages and prevents any transfer of such rights. Three bills on Monday reconsid ered: The railwav rate bill: to elect railroad com missioners by j popular vote; and the bill to pro hibit free passes and franks. ! In the Senate: To so amend the 1 laws as t j ad J Cumberland county 1 to the Eastern Criminal Court. This creates a new judge and gives the Gove rnor the power to appoint until the next election. This bill passed The members realize how much of the 60 days for which they can de-nand per diem has been w?.sted, ind now they hold two sessions each :ay. In the Senate the beheading of Enrolling Clerk Swinson was on the docket. He was beheaded, but as the evidence clearly showed it was not because of u's extrava gance only, tor these clerks had been forced upon him, and if he had accepted the negroes there would have been n row raised. It makes a strong point on the democratic side, for this will be used a campaign ammunition in the next del: on. In the il ohm: A biil to investi gate ttie charges of fraud in the lease of the No. tn Carolina Rail road came up. Ttiis was referred to the special committee on the lease. Also, a resolution to look after the committee that was to investigate the charges of fraud in the senatorial fight. There was quite a lively debate. It wasde dared that the committee had been derelict in its duty not to have attended to this sooner. The resolution fixing to-day (161I1) as the date for the committee to re port was passed. A bill for an ap propriation for the Tennessee Cen tennial was tabled. The bills in the House Friday were: To reduce the salaries and fees of all public officers, save those fixed by law, 25 per cent. A committee was appointed, to be composed of Governor Russell, Julian S. Carr and W. A. Hoke looking to the monument to be raised here to Hon. Zebulon B. Vance; this committee to report to the next Legislature and 1,000 to be appropriated for all necessary expenses. The House took up the report on insane asylums and their maintenance. Theie-are 26 crimi nal insane at Morganton. It is recommended that a building for this class be provided at the peni- tentrary. Durham and Robeson counties be transferred to the Ra leigh asvlum. The following ap propriations for the three are recommended: For Morganton, roo,ooo; for Raleigh, $67,450; for Goldsboro, 46,850. This is for maintenance and improvements. The bill covering these recom mendations passed. A resolution was introduced instructing mem bers of Congress to try and repeal the civil service law. The bill to let the county commissioners elect the county physician and fix his salary passed after a hot del ate. In the Senate the Winston-Salem South bound Railroad was incon porated. i his is a continuation of the Norfolk & Western. To so amend the law that railroads. steamboats, etc.. give transporta tion to members a-ad clerki of the raiiroad commission who are at tending to commission business. Enrobing Clerk Swinson locked up li i s office, desks, etc., yesterday and did not come up there, so his locks were forced. Later he ap peared and upon his keys being demanded of him, he produced the following: "I respectfully decline to surrender the office of enrolling clerk of the General Assembly to which I have been elected, duly sworn and inducted into, and have a vested right to, on the ground that no legislative body has the right to abolish an efhee for the sole purpose of ousting an incum ber.t. In the second place I re spectfully decline to surrender or turn over the papers and records of said office, as there is and can be no successor during my contin uance in office, and no one who is legally authorized to give me a valid receipt for such records and papers.' The matter is to be brought before the Supreme Court. In the Legislature on Monday, the 15th, the following are some of the bills: In the Senate: A bill to increase revenue and regulate insurance. The bill to appropriate 34,500 for a dormitory, heating plant, industrial plant and other improvements at the white blind asylum, passed. In the House: To provide that whenever any per son is declared to be insane or in ebriate the husband or wife of such shall be first entitled to the guardianship of his or hir prop erty. A bill forbidding "gold con tracts" which had ueen tabled was taken up and made special order for Friday. A committee was ap pointed, composed of Brown, Dockery, Alexander, Whitener, McCrary, Abernethy, and Bryan, of Chatham, to re district the State into congressional districts. The bill for "killing microbes" and cleaning the legislative halls amounted to 1 19. Up to 3 o'clock tu-day nothing had been done on the lease bill except to introduce it and a lot of speeches made. There is an im mense crowd here to hear the ar guments. Simon S.
