From oar Eegnlar Corresponden For the Democrat Senator Carlisle thinks there is great danger of a financial panic of the republi can persist in allowing the amendment to the tariff bill, which provides for theremov al of all imported goods from the Oovernment bonded warehouses before Oct 1, to sfand. Hesnys'i went to Senator Aid rich and begged him to withdraw the amend ment he refused. The amend ment was adopted because the republicans wish to pun ish the importers of the country for their opposition to the tariff bill. B'e shall fight the amendment in con ferance and try to avow the crath which threatens tlie money market." Senator Vance was especially emphat ic in condemning the amend ment. He said: "I hardly see how a crash can be avert ed, and when it comes the country will have a practical illustration of some of the iniquities of this tarilf bill. We shall endeavor to avert disastrous results in the con- fc.ru nee committee, bat I fear that we shall not be allowed to accomplish anything. The republicans seemed de termined to be unjust, even if it. brinirs on a financial panic. We can only protest." The tariff bill is going through the form of being considered by the House Ways and Means committee, but that committee will do nothing but recommend non conciirnnce in the Senate amendments, leaving the fight to take place in the con ferance committee. The present intention is to gag the House by the passage of a resolution introduced by Mr. McKinley, Saturday to prevent consideration or vo ting upon any of the Senate amendments by the House sitting as a committee of the whole. This action has been tnken under Boss Reeds or ders. He knows that there are a number of republicans in the House who would gladly vote with the demo crats if they could get a chance, on several of the Sen ate amendments. The Louisiana delegation made a strong protest be fore the Ways and Means committee against thedate March 1, 1891 set for the sugar schedule to go into effect. They showed thecom mittee that it meant ruin for the sugar planters to be com pelled to sell their crop for coming year in a market brought down by free foreign sugar, and asked either that the time be extended to July 1, or that the change go in to effect immediately. They got no satisfaction from the committee. The republicans are sus- niciouslv auiet about the proposed extra session, and there is a differance of opin ion regarding it a mong them. They all want an extra ses sion, but lots of them want Mr. Harrison to assume the responsibility by calling an extra session, while he, and the members of his cabinet nsist that Congress should take the responsibility by taking a recess to November 10. The object of them all is the same the passage of the obnoxious force bill. The apportionment bill which has been introduced by Representative Dunnell is as partisan a measure as was ever before any Congress. It is intended to keep the republican party in power for the next ten years. It was prepared by Robert P. Porter, the naturalized Eng lishman at the head of the census bureau and its pas sage would be as gross an injustice as the republican party in all its history has ever peret rated. The facts about the Reed campaign are gradually leaking out. It is now cer tain that the protected man ufacturers had the "fat friend' out of them to the extent of at least 100,000 to elect Ross Reed, who did so much for them in railroading jug handled tariff bill through the House. No wonder the republicans say that money was used in Maine; and yet, Reed got a smaller vote than he did in 181 Cor '88. The success of the demo crats in preventing the seat ing of two negro contestants in the House last week by breaking a quorum has caused many democrats to ask why the same tactics were not adopted, at the be ginning of the session in or der to have prevented the adoption of Reed's Rules. I am in a position to answer that n. .-t ion. The idea of breaking a quorum by ab-j seating themselves from the House was largely favored by thedemocrats, and would have undoubtedly been adop ted by them, but for the fact that Mr. Carlisle then a member of the House and the recognized democratic lender, and the late Samuel J. Randall, then on hisdeath bed, advised against it. Congress was better em ployed on Saturday than it has been for some time past. In the Senate eulogies were delivered on the late S. J. Randall, and in the House on Senator TJeck. There was a big row in the republican House caucus Sat urday night. Representative Payson led a revolt against Reed anJ McKinly's gag res olution, but the rebels hum bly tucked their tails between their legs and accepted them evitable after Speaker Reed got up and thundered his or ders for theindorsment of the resolution. Reed is greater than his party, and his will is obeyed without question, or the rebelious subject is rele gated to the rear. AWFUL TIXES IN TEXAS. A terrible thing has hap pened in the great empire of Texas. It is enough to stir the bones of John Brown, if they are not still "marching on," and to make Bill Sew ard to scratch against his metalic coffin. What is to pay in Texas? Have the democrats cut the throats of all the negroes? Hasanoth er 'rebellion' broken out? Something awful has happen ed, but it cannot be laid at the door of the democrats. A great outrage has been per petrated upon the negroes and by their white allies. Hear the fearful story as it is iold by the Mempis Ap peal: "There was no rebel yell; there was no brigadier-gener al; There was no Confedera cy in the saddle; there was nothing, indeed, but a Re publican State Convention and a banquet at night, where wine and and wassail murdered sleep, startled" an cient Nox and built up ro bust headaches and a de mand for brandy and soda next morning, and from which the colored man and brother was excluded, with the soothing information: 'No nigger c n come in here.' Even Cuney. tthe head and front of the republican par tv. could not enter unless he nut on a white apron and carried a waiter." Another question the cry ing question, is, will grim Hoar, and ghastly Iogalls, and bully Reed andinfinites imal Harrison and the pure Quay do about it? Call out the army at once. Put down this new 'rebellion', and squelch race prejudice in the rotton old party. Messen Coughs aud coMh come unin vited, but vera can nuicklv get rid of these, with a few doses of nr. j. h.

The Charlotte chronicle of yesterday contained the fol- owing: Much interest has een aroused umong cotton men by the report of a move ment by which the National Farmer's Alliance proposes to hold back from market for a time 2,000,000 bales. At Montgomery, Alabama, special of Saturday to the At anta Constitution says: "At the last n eeting of the National Farmer's Alliance, t he matter of arangeingsome plan by which the cotton pro ducers could hold their cot ton for better prices, was re ferred to the cotton commit tee, with power to make any arrangements possible to ef fect this end. The conimit- t:?e at once opened communi cation with European capi talists, which has now ben in progress several months, audit is given out in New Yoi k to-day that the arrange ments have been perfeted. A prominent Allianceman from the South, who is in the city today to confer with the representa t i ves of foreign ca p italists on the subject, and who is on the inside, said to theJournal correpondent this morning. "The National Alliance has achieved a great work. The cotton committee of the na tional body has completed arrangements with Europe an capitalists to advance f32.per bale on 2,000,000 ales of American cotton to be stored in the warehouses of the South for a period of one year, allowing the farm er to dispose of the cotton any time during the year should the price advance to his satisfaction. The Euro pean syndicate which ad van- cms this money on the cotton will charge 4 per cent per an num in tli'flr mierest, anu will be fully secured. "These arrangements mean that the farmers will have the use of f G4,000,000, and at the same t imejkeep 2,000, 000 bales of cotton out of the market. "This money comes at the very lowest rate of interest that could be asked, and the Tangement , cannot fail to produce a mauled advance in the price of cotton, as it virtually withdraws at once over one-fourth of the crop of the country." A number of cotton men were asked about this new plan yesterday, but all of them said that they knew nothing about it except what was in the telegram quoted above. Most of them agree, however, that if suh a deal is consumated, it will send cotton away up, for awhile at least. One dealer said cot ton would go up to fifteen cents in Charlotte, if the pro posed r scheme was carried out. A gentleman who is in close relation with the Alliance, said he knew nothing of this alleged transaction, but that it could be done, and would put prices up high. A Montgomery dispatch to the Chronicle last night says: The Farmer's Alliance scheme to corner the cotton crop of the South and hold it for lw-t j ter prices is exciting the most absoibimr interest. Tele, grams received yesterday from four or five of the big gewt cotton counties in the State are to the effect that nearly all the crop Is being held on the farms and very little is finding its way to market. Farmei's Alliance leaders are sending about circulars urging the members to htand together. A gentleman in speaking to the Aer.sr' and Observer last night said that such an interruption of the flow of cotton to the markets of the markets of the world by the regular course would proba bly haven, damaging effect upon the cotton stored, and towards the end of the sea son the stored cotton would find a market at twoorthree cents less than the aver age market prbe of cotton during the year. News and Observer. The fact has just come to the knowledge of some inter ested persons that the Tariff bill as passed by the House and amended by the Senate makes no provision for a du ty on electricity. In the opin ion of a constituent of one of the New York Senators this is a grave misraKe ana one that ought to be rectified be fore it is too late. The Amer ican citizen writes that it is the pauper electricity of Can ada that threatens the Amer ican current. The writer there upon makes a tearful appeal for a duty of $." per horse power upoh all electric cur rents imported over the bor der. The business firm which the gentleman represents is interested in the project that has been discussed at vari ous times for several years to utilize the power of Niag ra Falls for the production of electric currents to be dis tributed on a large scale to the industrial establishments of New York State. Three years ago the Treasnry de partment decided that elec tricity is not dutiable under the present la vv ho there is no reason why the misera ble cur rent from the Canada side of the Falls should come sneak ing over and compete with the pure American product to the utter disaster of the latter. As the Senator's cor respondent points out, there fore, the $5 horse power du ty is absolutely necessary for the future of Niagra Falls which must be protected as other infant industries are Unfortunately, the request for the much desired amend ment comes too late for in sertion in this year's bill Perhaps it wilKwin some oth er year. Eagle. The meeting of the Sta'e Association of Democratic Clubs at Raleigh on the 21th and 2oth promises to be a notable occasion.
