When Senator E;iulkiier. in
! response t' a char n tcristie
Islnrof litJlfBi:iy",'liaiid:T,8
J about the tariff bill b ii! t
the White Il(use rail: I
iviil say to tb .Senator frotn
New Hruapshire that al
though the tariff bill in not
at the White House now, it
will be there very soon to re
ceive the signature of the
President," there was a deaf
ening round of applause from
the crowded galleries of h
Seriate which showed in a
maimer not to be mistaken
the trend of public tenthiient,
and which should not have
been lost upon certain Demo
cratic Senators whose sec
tions have brought the tariff
bill to the nust critical stare
of its existante. It is now,
according to the idas of
some of the best Democrats
in Confess, no longer a
question of what soit of tar
iff bill we shall get, but
whether we shall get any tar
iff bill at all.
I will not i-opor, the scan
dalous cb icges of bad faith
made by Democrats against
Democrats i n connection
with the failure of the confer
ees to reach an agreement,
but if tie1 attempts to defeat
all tariff legislation, now be
ing either directly made by
Democrats or indirectly as
sisted by them, shall succeed
these charges will he shouted
from the housesteps in every
section of the country until
they become so f imiliar that
certain men will find it diffi
cult to show themselves upon
the most lonely country road
without being pointed out as
traitors to their party. It is
impossible for the present
crisis to continue much long
er. The tariff bib1 will either
no passed or permanently
hung up this week.
Had the action taken dur
ing the past week by theGov
emors of Maryland and Vir
ginia, in breaking up the
camps of t h e Cox ey ires
tramps in their respective
states, been taken by Gov.
McKinley last March the fool
movement would never have
been started. The House
decisively put itself on record
as favoring the appropria
tion of $200,000 to aid the
the exposition at Atlanta
Gra., and it is now certain
that the appropriation will
get through all right. It
pleased theSoutheruersin the
House to find Keprntu
tive Pence, of Colorado, and
Everett, ot Massachusetts,
among the most earnest ad
vocated then ppropiiat ion.
' In addition to being a coin
inon nuisance, Sena tor Chan
dler, ot Xew Hampshire, will
get. himself widely known as
a fool if he introduces a few
more resolutions tike the one
proposing that the Senate
committee on Elections and
Privileges should investigate
the recent Alabama State
election, so as to ascertain
whether it was fuM, free, fair
and honest, and whether .
resulted in the choice of a
legislature entitled to elect a
U. S. Senator. It is general
ly admitted that the new Al
abama law, under which the
Mi
Tire election was h'l !,T" 07TP J'TP T- ;

in
and that there is nu strong
cr reason for the cry of
'fraud" raised by the Kolb-
lites than a desire to let down
easy the eastern Republicans
who contributed th ir money
to t lie c.i 111 1 i i ! n friiio. lin t
ven "that, tl.e elec !
tion had been f-dl of fraud
asCbandler is of "gull.'" there
would Ktill be nr authority
for an investigation by a
committee of the Unit e d
States Senate. It was a
State election and theSeuate
has no more to do with it
than with an election for
uieinners or 1 ai iiamyiic in
r 11 1- ,
any part of Great Br itain.
The House very properly
refused to agree to the Sen
ate amendment to the Sun
dry Civil approprinti ui bill,
providing that !f L'oO.000 be
: appropriated lor the pur
chase of what is known as
the Mabone lot," owned by
e.v-Senator Mabone, of Va.,
.n a site for n new Govern
ment Printing OihVc. There
are two good and sufiiciont
reasons for the action of the
House the Mabone lot is un
suited for a site ana the price
asked is excessive.
Public Printer Benedict is
out in another appeal to Con
gress insisting that some
thing bo none towards lessen
ing the dangers which sur
round the iJOOO employes of
the Government Printing Of
fice before adjournment.
He reminds Congiess that
even if he troublesome ques
tion of the selection of a site
for the new (L P. 0.,were set
tled at this session; which it
isn't likely to be, it would re
quire four or five years to
build a new office, whihf there
is urgent necessity for some
immediate relief. He sug
gests that this may be. had
by purchasing grourul and
erecting a building along
side of the present office that
will meet the requirements
until the entire new building
is put up, which must be in
the near future.
The Senators nreglad that
the Chinese treaty, which!
lias been before the Senate
so long, has at last been dis
posed of. There has been lit
tle doubt at any time of w hat
the final result would be.
Still it is a satisfaction to
the Democratic administra
tion and theSenators that it
has been officially settled.

ble contrast to the overflow
ing condition in which it was
delivered by Mr. Cleveland's
first administration to its re
publican successor we urge
upon the said lawmaking de
part merit, the immediate en
actment of an income tax.
Resolved 4th, That we em
phatically approve the tariff
doctrine enunciated in t h e
Chicago plutform.
Resolved 5th, That while
we are opposed to the slight
est qualification, in favor of
the federal government, of
the repeal of the 10 per cent
tax on State bank issues, we
nevertheless advocate as a
matte'- ot State policy such
regulation and restriction of
the issues of the banks char
tered by North Carolina as
will secure a sound currency.
Resolved 0th, That we ad
mire the courage and lofty
patriotism of the President,
and that we most heartily
commend his prompt and ef
fective action under the law
for the suppression of the al
ien anarchists to disturb, by
force and violence, the true
relations of labor and capi
tal; his sturdy efforts to se
cure the enactment of tariff
reform as called lor in t h e
party platform; his piompt
approval of the bill repealing
the Federal election law; the
notable reduction of the ex
penses of government under
his administration, and the
freedom from scandal which
has been such a marked fea
turf of his return to the
head of affairs.
We point with pride to the
record of the Democratic par
ty in North Carolina and en
dorse the present State ad
ministration. Foy eighteen
years this party has had full
control of tne State govern
ment. It hs s administered
it with the greatest economy
and at all times with an eye
single to the best interests of
the people. Coming intopow-

In the fiscal year ended

from internal taxes, 110,

ing a total income of $296,
900.330, as ugaiimt $335,

year. The total expendi
tures in the year just dosed
were $300,593,359, this
amount being made up from
the following items: Pen

Miss Bate demanded an
