This information has, it is believed, caused Mr. Harri son to delay sending into Congress the convspondenc between Mr. Blaine and the Biitish foreign oilice and his message 'of explanation, all of whi -h was ready a week ago. Mr. Harrison is per fectly willing that. -his ad ministration should be the cause of stirring up the anti British feeling, but he hesi tates to go to Congress for an appropriation of money for a real war with England. !!; fears that Congress might brush aside the administra tion theories and authorize the arbitration which it has refoed. Certainly we are not in any condition at the present tune to light Great Britain Upon the water, where .ve would ha ve to fight, and the idea of an American back-down is not a pleasant one to contemplate. There may be some Congressional music on this subject a little later on. A democratic conference, including both Senators and Representatives, was held to day for the purpose of con sideling ways and means of opposing the newly announ ced republican method of trying to force the Force bill to a vote in the Senate by holding long continuous ses sions tor the purpose ot tir ing out the democrats. It was determined to resist to ei;d any and all efforts on the part of the republicans to force a vote. Just what form this resistance will take ive depend entirely upon cir cumstances. If the republi cans get a quorum of their own members, which they are working hard to do, it will settle down to p question of physical endurance. If they fail to get a quorum, or to keep one pr?fcent it will be easy to block their game the democratic Senators have only to absent them selves, thus breaking a quo rum, withoiiu which no vote can be taken. The republicans have tem porarily abandoned their gag ru).e, not so much be cause of opposition to it in their own ranks, though there is some little, as be-1 cause, after counting noses, they believed that theyeould 'pass the hill without shock - Hug the lurgt conservative el-j ;o,n(.nt ,)f ,,,,, rmiR,rv ,,vl Jl'.. . - but they will not hesitate Jo ' I i;m .. .1 . . . : : . t. :.. . i ..... . r . i fi. have very little hoje of re - mem; niey nave in ueiernuce to the wishes of the constitu ent let it be known that they are opposed to the bill, but I do not believe that they will cast, their votes against it, unless .certain that they will not affect Hie result. In other words tiny are opposing til" l,jl fn- ef fect at home, and in thehope of getting democratic votes for certain legislation in which they and their consti tuents are more directly in terested. It. is generally conceded that the joint resolution of fered by Senator Carlisle authorizing the appoint ment of three commissioners to act with a like number appointed by the Canadian government in investigating S lie commerce of the two count ries'and devising" means to promote and increase it. is a step in the right direc tion anil yet Mr. Carlisle .i . i ip- savs he Irf certain that re publican Senators will nor allow it to be acted upon. He says he intends offering it again at the next session. The republicans who have been shouting about the reciprocity treaty which had been or would shortly be negotiated with Mexico were either ignorant of thesuhjert or else were attempting1 in tentionally to fool the peo ple. The Mexican minister here says that no treaty has been negotiated and that none is likely to be negotia ted at present., because his country will not grant con cessions to an administra tion that has lost no oppor tunity to get the lest of its weaker sister. Justice Brown, fhe succes sor of the late Justice Miller took hisseattoday. Among the audience assembled in the Supreme Court chamber was Attorney General Miller who had himself looked with longing eyes upon the va cant seat. Represen ta t i ve I )x kery will wait two days longer for the committee on Rules to report his resolution for the investigation of the silver scandal. If it is not repor ted he will move that the committee be discharged from futher consideration of the resolution and that the House decide what shall be done with it. Senator Hoar poses as the republican leader in the Sen ate, but he seems to lead like the crawlish goes. - j the K'MTrs oK Tiin Tisitri: ' ' ' .,,,. tlim nil(1 a 1 ..I . - . . mm moi.tns in t t horn out. h-"t when they did coiiM-th.-y were a marvel.

The pootestj ininutes the Association ev- Jer s..nt forth to the world were perf".-tion by the side of them. Their like has never been witnessed. They come as a thing out of season. They are unshapely in form and uncomely in appearance. They are filled w i 1 1 strange things. They tell that which the Association never did. They leave untold much that was done. For example, they speak of Robert Spen cer ;u IV. S. lSry;i n contrib uting to the endowment fund of Wake Forest College and say nothing about the con tributions made to said ob ject by W. C.Coffey, W. L. iTVan and Robert Shearer. They give us the names of 7. C. Untischaw, J. F. Sle Iieii.s and . S. Shenvood as ordained ministers of the Association. I am pretty well acquainted with the minis ters of this Association but have never had the pleasure of meeting eitherof theabove named divines. Again they tell us of thenp pointtnent. of J.

I have known for some time that the Bap tists of Watauga were pros perons. That they were ta king the country. But, did not know before that they had organized a Cavalry. Rut thev have. At least these minutes say they have. The above are a few of the many s,Lrange things noticed in the ininutes proper .did not read the advertisements. Now, who is responsible for all these errors? Certainly not the Association. There were $30.33 contributed as a minute fund. Enough to have paid the Clerk well for his services and furnished an abundant supply of minutes from the best job office in the State. Then the Association is not to blame. It surely cannot be the Clerk's fault. I believe him to be a conscien tious man who always does the best he can. If he had not been capable of getting outa good minute, correct in mat ter and form, he should not, and I believe would not, have accepted the office. And a gaiu it hardly seems possible1 that the Editor of the Game well Racket is to blame. Its boast is: "Accuracy, beauty, clearness, dispatch, elegance, grace, handsomeness and in genuity." Surely no office claiming all the above excel lencies could send out a job containing not one of them without having somebody to blame for it. So I am un able to locate the blame. Yetj it exists. Somebody deserves; it.

HERO OF A l'RACTICAl, JOKE, A young man ofabout twen ty-five is just now the hero of a secret circle of friends in tin; southern section of this city, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, and in view of his peculiar history, he quite de serves to be lionized. Five years ago he was a clerk in a bank on a meager salary, and onetime some of the same devoted friends of those days thought it would be a good joke to pretend the bank had been robbed, and warn him that he was suspected. This a number did, only they called hint up about midnight, so as to give the joke a more natural appear ance. After telling him that two hours before, burglars had stolen 50.000 in bank notes, they added that the police were now on the way to arrest him as a suspect. It so happened that he had but two hours before been in the vicinity of the bank, and fearful of not being able to prove an alibi, he gathered his available belongings to gether and caught an earlv morning train for the North. Of course there was a big- row in the vicinity of the young fellow's home and his funny friends had to leave town. Iortunately the young teilow was a uaciieior and he was not hunted up. Recently he wrote to an old acquaintance here from Canada, and the letter in re plying to thelong-lost youth told him the truth about the bank joke. Then the young fellow came back but not as he went away. lie rode m a parlor car and swelled around in a hack. He had gone to Montreal and after the first shock had settled down to work, .and gradually, by lucky specula tion, had grown rich. ip ror hack Aran:.

And the people aforesaid, upon their word aforesaid, do further say that after wards to wit, on or about the 10th. day of Dec, in the said year; the said Herbert E. Xorris, for his own grati fication and gain, did take the said Emma Burns to be his lawful wife, in the pres ence of some ordained minis ter of the Gospel, unknown to the people presenting this indictment, and the presence of divers, other persons in the city of Greensboro, Guil ford Co., N. C. Therefore the people afore said upon their words afore said, do say that the said Herbert E. Xorris acted wise ly and well upon his part, and that the said Emma Bu rns acted acted acted just, as she pleased upon her part. And the people having as certained that both parties are satisfied, pray to be re leaved from further inquisi tion. George, iu Jouesboro Leader. Man's duties are summed up by the Savior and put in to two classes.- ToloveGod with all the heart, aud our neighbor as out-self. Our du ty to God and our. fellow men cover the whole field of human effort, and neither can be taken alone as consti tuting true religion. Some persons devote considerable time to God's service, but do not deal justly and honestly with their fellowmen. Oth ers are prompt and just in their dealings with men, but pay no attention to thecqi mand to love God with all the heart, and render service to Him. The one class robs men and the other robs God. Neither one goes more than half way toward becoming a Christain, and a half Chris tian is no Christian at all.
