President (Jlevelar.d wih certainly vetn any appropriation bill that has .objectionable amend mentfj tacked yUpon it, and Ihere is no question that sev eral of those which are pend ing IHonj? to the objection able class. Theie is an enor mous hit of work, yet to bn done to feet I be appropria tion bills through, and some of t h e propoHt-d fl n a n cial amendments will be (re tain to cause bitter and more 01 less extended dij!fite which will leave just that mivh h as time for Molid work. There is no good reason why any of I he appropriation bills should fail, and if any does it will be th remilt of a put-up job, and the Ropnbli vins dreati an early extra session too much ihemsfdven to engage in that sort ol thing just now. Bui in Con grss'there are others. ' No appointment made hy President Cleveland has giv en more sstisf rtion in Con- giess, regardless of. political opinions, than that of SSena tor Ransom to be minister to M xico. Th unanimous con drmalionof hU nomination without reference to commit tee was moved hy Senator Sherman, who took occas ion to speak in the highest terms of the fitness of the nomination and of the abil ity, character and patriotism of Senator Ransbn. He will be thoroughly at home in Mexico, es he spejks both French and Spanish. There was a meeting of sil ver men here Saturday and it is undei stood that they discussed plans for a silver Presidential ticket. It was significant that none of the Republican silver men in Con gress attended this meeting Hon Walter B. Ritchie of Lima, Ohio, Supreme Chan cellor f the Knights of Pyth ias, i s in Washington on Pythian business. He keeps posted on the political situa tion in his State, and he'does not consider McKinley's prospecls bright. He said: "It is doubtful whether Gov. McKinley will command the solid support of his own State delegation for the Presi dential nomination. Sone of his leading men of his par ty care very little for McKin hv, and will knite him at. the first opportunity. State pride may cause them to give a sort of lukewarm ad herence to his candidacy, but they will not stand by him through thick and thin. They realize that the McKinley idea of the tariff ha been weighed in the balan-.'e and found wanting. It would "be to heavy a load in 1896, and they a re not going to as sume the burden." In accordance w i t h the opinion that President Cleve land has several ' timet ex pressed, thfc Senate commit tee on Appropriations Iihh agreed to an amendment to they Sundry Civil Appropri ation l i 1 1 . appropriating ty on sugar produced in '93 at the old rate unl to pay eight -tenths of a cent a pound upon the crop of 1894. Secretary Herbert is much pleased that the House ariop tnd his recommendation foi building three batt'e ship, ami he hah no expectation that th Senate will do other wise, but be deeply regrets that so many democrats worked and voted ugainut the battle ship cIauvof , the Naval appropriation bill, in the-House, although fullv atvarethatit was a matter of conscience and principle with those who did ho. The Senate still insists up on accept a n.-e tiy the House of it H iwniiaii cableamejid ueiit, nit hough the latter has once by a ,ea and nuy vjte Muiseil to do mo. The aaieiidaient is now for the se cond time in conference. The Howgati? trial ended with a hung jury. The Dis trict Attorney says he has other' indictments upon which Howgatt will be tried. It is said that the reason the trial was ho ta'me and free from the expected sensation al developments was that parties who might have been compromised convinced How gate that, the art of "fixing" a jury was still prathed, for a consideration, by experts, and further that he would not have to furnish the "con sideration." 1 is believed that the rail road polling bill was finally shelved when the Senate by a vote of 42 to 24 refused to take it up. Senator Wolcott is afraid that some of the European countries might during the ''ongressiotial vacation get in the notion to hold an in ternational monetary confer ence 'and find the United States unprepared to take part therein. In order to n void such a predicament be has offered an amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropria tion bill, authorizing the President to appoint three commissioners, Nhould they be needed, to act with a joint Congressional committee of six as representatives of the United State-. Those who never read the advertisements in their news papers miss more than thev presume. Jonathan Keni-' son, of Bolan, Worth county, Iowa, who had been troub led with rheumatism in his back, arms and shoulders, read an item in his paper about how a prominent Ger man citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He procur ed the same medicine, and to use his own words: "It cur ed me right up." He also says: A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy wasov?r to my house and said they were so bad thnt he hadto do the cooking. I told him ol Chamberlain's Pain Balm and how it had cured me, he pro-ured a bot tle of it and it cured, tnem up in a week. Fifty cent bottles for sale by W. L. Bijmu.- The following pat hetic lines were written by Mr. Thomas. N. Coffey while in prison at Governor's Island Castle Wil liam, N. Y., duiing the late war nnd sent t. his cousin7 Miss Sal lie Hayes (now Mrs. W. L. Bryan, o our town.) S )on after the lines were penn ed, the brave Cor.lederat was numbered with the dead: I left my father and mother dear; A nd to the war did go. I left my friends, relations all. To fight the invading foe. Hut what is worse forasoldier yet It grieves my heart to tell, The sorrow, trouble and regret When captured by the foe. Upon an island of the sea, 1 am confined to stay: Not one i here to comfort me. Not one to sing or pray. Hut alas! my hopes that were so bright, ' Were all at once made dim. The fryer in its raging flight Is f'lt in every limb. N mother here to pray for me, No nister to console, No father here to comfort me One brother to behold. Oh. Lord, a fat her to me be Oh! save m or I die, Thy mercies, Lord, are large find 1 e, . ;' Oil! send them fronton high. Me thinks I hear a lonely sound, A fervent prayer for me, In thund er tones profound My mother's on her knees. I know m.v f.iends doth wonder where I am, And ott times think I'm dead. It causes them to suffer tears And niany tears th jy shed. Oh! Lord, my God, how can I stay Heneatl.i this hostile sky? My friends are all so tar away, And shortly I must die. Oh ! Lord; if thou wilt let me live, And raise me ud again, My heart to thee I aiu bound to give And glorify thy name. Hew a Man Goes lo Sleep. "Order is Heaven's first law," and the old tiuth is manifested even in the process of going to sleep. When a man drops off to sleep, t,is body doeB not do so at once, so to speak. aome Reuses become dormant befoie others, and always in the same order. As he;becomes nrowsy, the eyes close, and the sense of seeing is at rest. It is quickly followed by the disappearance of thesense of taste. He next losses the sense ot sintll, and then after a short interval the tympanum be comes insensible to sound, or ra ther the nerves which run to the brain from it fail to arouse any sense of hearing. The last sense to leave is that of touch, and in some hypersensitive people it is hardly ever dormant. Even in their case, however, there is no discriminating power or sense of what touched them. This sense is also the first to return upon awakening. Then hearing fol lows suit; after that taste, and then the eye becomes able to flash impression back to the brain. The sense of smell, oddly enough, though it is by no means the first to go, is t he last to come back. The same gradual loss of pow er is observe j in the mnscles and sinews, as well as in the senses. Slumber begihs at the feet, and slowly spreads up the limbs ana trunk until it reaches the brain, A'htn unconsciousness is com plete, and the whole body is at rest. This is why sleep is impos sible when the feet are cold, Sew York Wot hi Congressman Bland, o f Missouri, says that silver will be the only issue in 1896 and that the silverites will suc ceed. Iloe he is correct but we have fears that the West will still be Republican. "The Worship of ths Negro. This is the man whom the North Carolina legislators delight to honor to everlas ting disgrace in the eyes of every decent man in the South. They see their error now, and are making various excuses for their action, say ing that a large number of members were absent when the question was voted on, and that the white Popu lists were forced to vote as they did to keep their ngro allies. No excuse will answer. The honor to Fred. Dqnglas was nqt because of any pub lic services he had rendered for he had rendered non? hut simply because he was a negro, it is the worship of the negro, introduced by the Populists of North Carolina for their political advantage, something the negroes them selves would not have dared in the days of reconstruction supremacy. We hope to see in every city where nijy North Carolinian lives a protest go up against this insult that will set "the Old North State"and its.peo pie righfbefore Ih world, as Believers in white as against rCongocivilization, nsholding up as models to the young men o.f to day Washington and Le instead o f Fred. Douglass. .Yew Orleans Times-Democrat. Tie Ttatc'e Shame. The action of the Legisla ture in adjourning in honor of n negro miscegnationist has shocked the outside world. North a n d South, the outrage upon the de cency of the State is con demned in the strongest terms. Oh! for an election to-morrow!' How quickly tV State would redeem her self. But time will bring its revenge, ( haihtte News. North Carolina's Shame. Sometimes the political sins of the people of a State are rewarded with surprising promptness. This truth has been exempli fien in a start ling way in North Carolina where a fusion of soreheads, incompetents and and politi cal lunatics has led to confu sion and shnire. How the good eople of the good Old North State ever consented to allow a mixed mob to se lect such men as their pres ent "representatives" in the Legislature, is a mystery un less it be explained, as too many such cases are, on the ground that the genuine North Carolinians forgot the dignity and responsilities of their citizenship and failed in their duty to the honerable traditions and history of the people of t hat gred t common wealth. But in politics as in morals, the evil that men do perseveres, and recent inci dents in the State house ut Raleigh are at once a testi mony to the people's abase ment and a punishment of their lapse from political vir tue. Staunton (Fa.) Pro givss. Dad Zuongh Any Way. The Daily Caucasian, the organ of the North Carolina fusionists. published at Ral eigh "by Mat ion Butler, vic iously deuounces as false the : statement telegraphed from Raleigh that the Fusion Leg- V islature, which adjourned in honor of Fred. Douglass, re' fused to adjourn on General ; Lee's birthday and Wash ington's birthday. . That is a small matter, and the question at issue can be easily settled by the records of the Legislature, but wheth er the house refused to honor . Lee's and Washington's memory or not, the fact is, ' r (hat same house did, on i motion' by a negro from y Granville county, vote to ad journ i u honor of Fred. Douglass, thereby making a hero of the dead miscegna tionist. , The Caucasian does not de ny this fact, which is enough to damn the ( Populists in North Carolina for all time. Danville (VaMiegister. Yes, Give Her a Pension, v The remains of Fred Doug las were interred at Roches- s ter, N. Y., yesterday. The reason for the interment in Rochester was because "no distinction on account of color is made in the ceme tary there. The Charlotte Observer suggests thnt yes-' terday being the day of Fred's funeral, it presented another good opportur-ity for the North Carolina Leg islatu"e to adjourn in his honor. The Landmark sug gests, in view of the Legisla ture's refusing to maKe an appropriation to the Confed erate monument, that it would be in keeping with its recent action to vote an ap propriation foi a muiiument to Fred.; also that they a dopt resolutionsof sympathy w i t h Fred's widow she's white, you know and vote hf.ra pension. There's noth ing like doing the thing up right while you're about it. Landmark. Progressive Farmer: The Legislature has been trying j to dispose of the Public Printing by letting it to the lowest bidder, but the com mittee can't decide who is the lowest bidder. We think the whole thing is a mistake. It will ne'ver result satisfactor ily until it is done by electing a Public Printer, making him an officer, to be elected by the Legislat ure or by popu lar vote. But ive are not criticizing harshly. T h e members doubtless thought they were disposing of it in the best way. The chances are that the printing will go to a Democratic firm under present arrangements. If so thedominant parties must take their medicine like little men. The lowest bidder is entitled to it, and we cannot approve any plan to keep them out of if. News and "Observer: The Legislature would not have passed resolutions to adjourn out of respect to any white man in the world, outside of the State. The resolution in regard to Douglass was pass ed because he is n negro, and for no other reason. This will have a bad effect, in the State and shows a spirit that can not be too strongly condemn Ml.
