Senker Crisp is thorough ly in accord with the desire to make a calm, conservative and business-like investiga tion of the Pension OfhYeund its methods of doing busi ness, and ! n selecting the committee authorized by the House resolution he mad'? good use of his knowledge of the members of the House and named mn who will sit with the same impartiality on the evidence presented to them and as carefully snt it, in order to throw out that which in their judgment is based on hatred or personal prejudice, as they would if sitting as judges in a court of law. The democrats on the committee are Repivsen tatives Wheeler, of Michigan, Little, of New York, and Dun gan, of Ohio; the republicans Messrs Lind, of Minnesota, and Rrosiusof Pennsylvania, all ex-Union soldiers. Representative Hoar, of Massachusetts, is confident that the adoption of his res olution by the llouseauthor izing the committee on Man ufactures to investigate the sc- a'led "sweating" system tenement house labor, in a long step in the right direc tion, and he predicts that the result of the investigation will be some startlingfaetsof special interest to those who wear "ready made" clothing. Refore the House adopted the resolution it adopted an amendment directing the com niittee to inquire how much increase theMcKinley bill has caused in the wages of work men employed in industries protected by the terms of that bdl. It also afterwards adopted a resolution offered by Mr. Holman, restricting the cost of the investigation to $3,000. Speaker Crisp has given some of the democratic mem bers who have been careless as to their attendance on the sessions of the House a little lecture on theirduties. taking his text from the lack of quo rum of of democrats on the floor, which the otherdny en abled the republicans to corn pel an adjournment. A sec ond lecture on this subject should not be necessary. The Senate Jommitt.ee on Agiiculture will report, a res olution providing tor t he ap pointment of a number of sub-committees to make an investigation, a committee to each branch of the subject , for the purpose of ascertain ing the present condition of condition of agriculture in United States, the prices of its products, and if there be any of which the prices are depressed, t he cause of such depression and the remedy therefor. This resolution w ill be reported as a substitute for Senator George's resolution for an investigation of the depression in thecotton-rais-ing States. Representative Wheeler, of Alabama, h(is sent, a cold shiver down the spinal col umns of all the big office hol ders by introducing a resolu tion instructing the several committees in charge of ap- propn.it ion l.iils t make re-j ductiou-4 of JO jM-r cent in all j ilj i il salaries of ."i.000 or more that would catch Sen ators and Representatives and of 10 jKr cent in nil sal aries of $S.00() or more. An nlteii.pt is being made to get the Ways and Means committee of the House to! grnpp! with the cigarette evil by reporting a bill plac ing an internal revenue tax of $10 per 1,0(10 on all cigar ettes offered for sale, whether of domestic or foreign manu. fact ure. A memorial, showing that, the excessive use of ci garettes has, during the last year, killed 100 young men. and sent an equal number to insane asylums, is being cir culated in Congress. The manner in which the annual appropriation bill for the Military Academv was re duced by the House, sitting as a committee of the whole, before it was passed, in spite of the powerful influences brought to bear in favor of passing it as reported from the committee on Military Affairs, lias convinced a good many people who had doubts on tbe subject that when democratic leaders said econ omy in public expenditures would be enforced by the House, they indulged in no idle tk. R -publicans may sneer, but when the people's verdict is heard next Nov., the democrats will get their reward. The Bland free coinagebill, on the House calendar, isthe subject of much talk in and out ol Congress. It is favor ed on principle by a very large majority of the House, but whether a majority of the democrats believe it political wisdemto pass it at this time will very soon be known, as a petition asking thecom mittee on Rules to set a date for its consideration by the House, is now being circula ted tor democratic signatures. More than a hundred have signed. 1 1 is expected that the Ca nadian reciprocity commis sioners will return home this week, knowing just about, as much as they did when they jame. They had no author ity to make a treaty, nor had Mr. Rlaine, even had he been so disposed. "Sumo Good Western Man." So fur j.1 st he North Carolina Democracy is concerned we hazard nothing in saying that four-fifths of the people are opposed to nominating either Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Hill. They desire "some good Western man," and if they are represented in the convention, as they will tie, the vote of North Carolina will be cast for Palmer. Camp bell, Grav, Roies or someoth er man who hails from the West. There is great admir ation for Mr. Cleveland and for Mr. Hill, but there is very little sent'inent here foi the nomination of either, though if Mr. Hill is an advocate of free coinage he may get North Carolina's vote in the event no Western candidate seems available. If Mr. Hill is for free coinage he will have a strong following, but his eva sive Eltnira speech will have to be explained before the people will really know his attitude. State Chronicle. Jtj Cuuld "Kwltss- at the Wliite ll0U4'. j Wednesday evening thci President "received" theolli cers of the army and 11. ivy in, Washington. Invitation in-! eluded tli ! nifinhers of their! families. The reception prov J ed to be 11 brutal and shame ful mob. Hundreds of unin vited persons of both sexes, in all sorts of attire, seized upon the occasion for rude-j ness that would be incredible anywhere but in Washington. Costumes of women wertorn to shreds, a number of wo men fainted. Mrs. Moit'Mi was ext ricated with difficulty from the mesh of the mob, and Vice-President Morton had to escape through n w in dow in order to keepanother engagement. It may well be asked what motive precipitated this dis graceful incident. Presidents are no longercuriosities. The White lloiise is open nearly all the time to visitors. Army and navy uniforms .ire fa miliar sights in the capital. Women in evening dress are out in flocks during the en tire season. The motivehad no reference to the President or the Vice-President, to the White House, the arniy or navy, or Fashionable toilets. It was given out that Jay Gould and members of hit; family had arrived in a spe cial train and would "assist" the President i n receiving. To see Jay Gould and his wealth the mob of Washing ton set out, grimy, nnkept, brutal and boisterous. The spectacle of the speculator that, has used the tricks of the stock market ruthlessly; ofthenmn whose employees throughout thecountry have expressed their opinion o f him with emphasis rn a n y times; of the ttaffieer in pub lic franchise; of the obstruc tor of public improvements, standing beside the President of the United States to le eeive its army and navy in the persons of their official representatives was well cal culated to arouse brutal cu riosity. What do republican work ingmen think of it? Will it coin mend republican taste and dignity to Knights of Labor, to Federation of Labor, to trade and labor unions? What warrant in soberivss and sense had the President for this scandalous violation of public decency? What claims has Jay Gould on the United State?? What ser vice has he rendered the na tion, directly or indirectly, that the army and navy of the country should be com pelled to pav their respects to a Wall street jobbers-Chicago Herald. Ren Butler admits in his auto biography that ho played tlie sneak in 1884, and that lie did not expect, to be elected when lie run for vice president, but. hop ed tli ns to deteat Cleveland and elect. Blaine. Thi must be an in teresting confession to the New York Sun. which supported him. Wilmington Star. Profanity never did any man the least good. No man is richer, wiser or happier for it.

The woollen seheduV HOlie' of the most important in the McKinley act. and Spring.?! "n pet measure may be taken as an attack on the very back bone of the protective sys tem. Rut that is true only in its political aspect, for we are gratified to observe thai many of the woollen manu facturers are satisfied that the proposed change should be made, and that it will be for the interest of the manu facturing business n o less than beneficial to tli coun try at large. We have often reflected on the anamoly pre sented by our people whoiiMCj such hard common sense in1 dealing with most subjects, and who have endured so pa tiently the notorious and o pen hardships incident to this wooilen ;-ch dule hi the tariff act. A good piece of woollen stuff such as any man should be aide to wear costs hen? twice as much as it doesacross the ocean, while the freight rates are entirely insignificant. Why should our people deprive them s, Ives of substantial clothing a t reasonable prices? The prac tical American has not shown his usu il discernment in this matter, but lias been led by other considerations 1o sus tain a policy damaging every family among the poorer classes- of the United States. The importance of this par ticular sehedule isalsos' own in the fact that while Piesi dent Cleveland devoted a nies sage exclusively to ihe sub ject of tariff reform, themain topic discussed in it was the woollen duties. Mr. Spring er has thus put himself very much in line with Mr. Cleve land's own program. We note t hut the commit tee has also reported favora bly Mr. Turner's bill, admit ting fiee of duty, all -machinery to be used in makiugcot ton bagging. Tha; is also a step in the right direction; and we would like to see a further move made to ex empt from all duty such ma chinery as is to lie used in cotton manufacturing. How can our cotton goods com pete with Great Rritain in the markets of the world, when our machinery costs double what the same articles :'ost in England? It is to be re membered hat the relative value of the machinery in cotton manufacturing is greater than in almost any other industry, and we are thus severely handicapped at the outset. Here is toom for reform, and the South is greatly interested, for t h e hope of the South is in the expansion of cotton manu facturing here among the cot ton tields. Mother and Child Crushed to Death. Chaulojlte, N. C, Feb. 13. At a station on the W. N. C. R. R., a few miles west of Asheville, yesterday, three children were playing on the track in front of an approa ching freight train. Their mothe;' ran out to rescue the children, and the mother and one of them were ground to pieces and the other two chil dren were maimed. (EM'S.

At this season when eggs are very scarce and bringing good prices one little thing in the management of the hens should be remembered, and that is the dust bath. This little matter is of more importance than a wagon load of "eggfoods," socalled. Nature has never manufac tured any patent stuff to make hens lay, but nature provides the means to keep them in good plumage, their skins healthy and their feathers smooth and free of lice. Dust is to the hen as water is to a human being, and if deprived of it they suf fer and cease to lay. Ex. Fan DYSPEPSIA, Ic4lpeit'0Q, and Stomach disorder!, use BROWN'S IKON BITTEU8.
