will tie voted upon to-morrow,
or the next day at the
latest.
Senator (Ji'iy was riylit
when he said that the Senate
in vesti&atiu- committee, of
winch he is chairman, h:id
lieeii misrepresented. It cer
tainly has lieeu. The com
initteehas bienat work riy;ht
along trying to get at the
bottom of the scandalous
charges made against Sena
toisund members ol the cab
inet, although t heimpression
Iijs gone out, through Seiia-
j tor Hill's speech nul news

ter the committee reported
the two correspondents to
the Senate for having refused
to give their authority un
charges, and requested the
Vice-President to certify, in
accordance with the law,
their ca.es to the United
States lh'stiict Attorney for
presentment to the Grand
Jury, the committee had
tohlt'd its arms and sat down
to await the punishment ol
ther recalcitrant witnesses.
.Nothing could be further
from the truth. The com
mittee, has taken the testi
mony of ver,y Democratic
member of the Senate Fi
nance committee, of Secre
tary Carlisle and of Repre
sentative Warner, of Xew
York, and several others a ad
has been diligent in its,jl'forts
to fiecute the attendance and
testimony of other witnesses

isn't much probability of his
success. It is customary for
the committees of the Senate
to regulate their ov;n sit tings
the only case remembered by
any Senator where the con
trary course was pursued be
ing when the Senate directed
the committee that was in
vestigating the Credit Mobi
Mer scandal to do it openly,
instead of secretly ns the
committee had began.
The scandal mongers made
a very bad break several
days ago when they startej
n story that President Cleve
land and Secretary Carlisle
i were at loggci heads over the
WATAUGA COUNTY,
Senate tariff nuieiiduietifs.
Hey were wide of the flun k.
i From the beginning tf 'he
tariff legislation. President
( levelan I ami Secretary Car
lisle ha ve been in perfect a'
Vot.l. Had he afoiesaid
eai.dal mongers .aid that
'President Cleveland ami S e
retarv Cail'sh'wereboth verv
sorry that some of 1 he Sen
ate amendments bad m,
made to the tariff bill they
would have been in close
proximity to the truth.
The fight ov r the repeal of
the tax on State bank cur
rency is growing very warm
in the House. Those who fa
vor repeal have been from
the first confident of f-iu eeeii
itiiT. and their confidence u is
st tenirt heiied by tie case
with whieh they th ft a ted n
motion to swit' h off repeal
by taking up otle'i- nusiness.
The vote is going'! o be close
on this question and the re
sult will, in your cot respond
ent's opinion, be in doubt un
til the vote is officially an
nouneed.
The Western silver men iu
Congress know th" senti
uiitits of their constif tieuts
ex-Speakei Reed has gained
no western support for his
President ta! aspiruiPs by his
proclamation, via., Loudon,
in favor of silver, provided,
that the friends of silver will
join him in favoring- a hiuli
tariff. Mr. Reefs attempt
to combine the silver and
tariff questions was n very
clever bit of political jugglery
but it has not helped him a
longeven a little hit towards
the Presidential nominal i 'it
of his party, although it has
removed the man he has here
to fo re worn and placed him
squarely before the country
as a candidate for the nomi
nation. Mrs. Cleveland and the
children will leave Washing
ton this week for Gray Gab
les, where they will spend the
summer. President Cleveland
will remain at the White
House until Congress ad
journs but will try to spend
a day or two with his family
occasionally. Saturday was
the eighth anniversary of the
marriage of President Cleve
land. There was no form tl
celebration of it, but a very
pretty little accident occur
red in connection there-with
upon the rear portico of the
White House, The leader of
the .Marine, b.ind, which was
playing its regular Saturday
afternoon concert in t h e
White House grounds, had
iu compliment to the day se
lected a wedding march as at
the- first piee-i of music on the
programme. . As soon as
President Cleveland, w h o
was on the portico with Mrs.
Cleveland and the children
recognized the w e tl d i n g
march he stooped over and
tenderly kissed the babv.-
Haniages Iu the Vauc Family.
It is stated thp.t. Mr. Har

late Senator Vunce, is to be
married to a Washington

The financial quest ion wili
soon be the leading one, and
then we shall see what we wi'l
see. ' ho tariff will beilispos

question being temporarily
settl 1. the thoughts of the
people wi' be centred Xeiu-.-ively

to divert I heir at tent ion from
it. Having-reformed the tar
iff, we will have a clear field
lor the settlement of the mh
er great matter, which is not
inferior importance.
We propose to give it out
best endeavors. The time
has come for the South, in
deed we ought to say for the
ent ire country, to make the
cur: e -y quesl i'Ui the nvrrA
issue, and it will take its place
first iu the thoughts of tin
people.
We have lived to see many
desirable objects uccomplish
ed. First in the years passed
was the restoration .;f the
St a te government to the do
inii ion of those who were'
best qualified to administer
it for the happiness of the
people and to presenn the
muniments of constitutional
liberty at home. Well, that,
happily, was achieved. Xe.xt
was the overshrow of the Re
publican party and the ob
literation of its policy of sec
tional hate. That has been
achieved, and there has fal
len with it many of its miser
able accompaniments.
Now the high tariff, with
its iniquitous results, is on
the eve of being wiped from
the staute books. That ac
complished, we are free to de
vote ourselves to the curren
cy problem. We shall desire
a sound currency; but we do
not propose that the bank
ers of Xew York shall be our
masters, and shall dicate
what shall be he la won that
subject. We shall insist on
an ample supply of currency,
and we do not propose that
bankers of New York shall
say that th 'ir banks are full
and that they do not caie
for any more. We slmll in
sist on adequate financial
facilities for the South, and
we do not propose to let
bankers at Xew Yoi k tell us
that 'Ae cannot borrow from
them, provided we hold and
express no opinion but such
as they may permit, other
wise we can obtain nothing
from them evii on Govern
ment securities. We propose
that su -ho reform shall be
madeth.it each community
can have financial facilities
on equal terms, and South
ern industries shall not be
crippled by higher priced
money than their Northern
competitors in business are
enabled to use.
These are the things that
now become of the litst con
sequence, and in their ad
vocacy, we shall know neith
er turning nor .shadow of
turning until they be fully
accomplished.

are not one whit bdter than
i he Republican protection
ists. With the protection
l he 7 iiii's-Diiiiornit, the
leading paper i:i .New Orleans
hold that all the sugar con
sumed in this count ry .could
be mad'' in Louisiana. And
for this gratify ing result the
people rniist pay a tax of not
less than froiii'.s(i0,(M)0.0()()
to .?(, K.)0,(W0 annually.
Tilt-", laboring people would
soon be paying 8 cents for
common brnvn sugars and
2 for refined if thi.- -vu-t of
legislation f o r Louisiana
could be -ai!!:-d oui. The
Democrat-5 in the Congress
oronose to redeem Chicago
platform pledges by putting
a tax on sugar for thelienefit
of trusts that ui!l not cost
the people less than $1-8,000,-
000, and probably much
more. From such Democrat-
1. j reform as that we say may
the good Lord deliver this
country.
The sugar scandal is one of
those things the people ought
not to forget. Senators
speculating in sugar while
framing a bill in the interest
of Sugar trustsis a shameless
corrupt business. It is ml
surprising that Xorthern
men of both 'parties are be
ginning to tire of the pro
tective principle, because of
its opening the gates wide to
corruption. The wrong is on
both sides. Republican are

business of plundering the

A Remarkable lavtatioa.
We were shown yesterday,
n remarkable invention by
Mr. Walter Raleigh Shepha rtl
a young man who was born
and raised on Topsail Sound
in Xew Hanover county. His
father is Mr. George K. Shep

The device i a pneumatic
wafer lifter. The force is de
rived from compressed air,
and with about four pounds
pressure we aaw a half inch
steam of water thrown thirty
teet in height.
The utility and value of
such an invention can hardly
be calculated, if the practical
test of the device turns out
as if evidently will. There i
hardly any limit to the use
this invention can be put,
and it is only necessary to
mention what can be done
with it. Attached ia a well

only in the city but in the

engine will be necessary and
the expense would not behalf
as much 1o keep it in opera

use. It can also be used for
irrigating farms, for dis
charging water from ships,
for equipping water stations
on railways and doing away
with the tanks, engines, etc.,
now necessary nt such sta
tions. It can also beutilized
for village, water works and
in fact will be valuable in
numerous other paiticulars.
Practical men who have
looked at it. do not hesitate
to pronounce it a good thing.
Considering the inention as
it has been demonstrated, it
willjbe difficult to estimate
its value in the future, if it is
properly managed. Messen

Smithsonian Institute, Wash

ing Prof. J. M. Tier-nan tor
the last, few days. They have
been out in the country and
the Dr. is delighted with it.
Dr. Huffman is one of tho
most noted men iu this
country, having served i u
the Prussian army as sur
geon on the staff of Emperor
"Our Fritz" dm ing the Prus

Iron Cross for his servics.
Since that time he has receiv
ed from Russia, France Spain,
England, Portugal, Italy,
Austria, Japan and other
countries eleven titled med
als for his preficieney, besides
various honors from this
country for his scientifie pro
ficiency. Dr. Huffman expects to
spend most of this summer
in this section in the research
es with his vorps from the
Smithsonian Institute.
He is also largely interest

country anu win join ouiers
in developing some of t h e

He returned to Washington
this morning, and wi'l come
back to Salisbury in the near
future, with a large party of
