VOL 7 Washington letter, from oar Regular Cormpondebt A ntimber of prominent Deinor-rata fUo recognize .. ... V A Ttie danger wnrcn conironrH "the partly in Kentucky ami Marylaiid, ber'austf of the existence of factions in. the imrt.vjare quietly but ener getically . wirkinsr to brinir C3 r those factions together in both States, uild they Rre hopeful of success. Of course everybody knows thai with the party United Kentucky and Maryland are as reli nMy democratic as they have been at any time during the last 25 ears. But it is equally well known that if the factional fight now go ing on among the Democrats in both State is kept up un til election day the Republi cans will stand a good chance to carry thern both. To have those States go Repub lican this year would be a party calamity that would jeopardize the election of a Democratic President next year notwithstanding the bright prospects of the par ty. This calamity the gen tlemen engaged in thismove ment wish to prevent. They nre n-t working either for or against Senators Bhickhuin and Gorman, but foi tlieben efit of the democratic pdrty. They believe that the Gor man democrats, the anti Gorman democrats, the Blackburn 1emo?nits and the anti-Blackburn demo crats, are all alike solicitous for the 8iiceen8 of the nation al demoi'ratn; party, and up on thatbelief they based their hope of succeeding in putting an end to the factional strife in both states. It would be impolitic to say at this time what these gentlemen have" done or what they propose doing, besides, it would be a violation of confidence. Those who expected the ad ministration to immediately declare wir agains France be muse of the imprisonment of the negro, ex-Consul Waller, who was found .guilty by a French court martial of hav-J ing given the natives of Mad igascar treasonable informa tion concerning the move merits of FrenchHoops, and who a few days ago ivere go ing ito daily conniptions be cause they alleged that the administration had declined to do anything for Waller, are now in a condition of mind. The admin iteration has done in the case ot Wal ler just whut it ought iu have done in the case of any other man claiming to be an Amer ican citizen who had got into trouble, notwithstanding t Ijj repcrt that VVuller had be come citizen of Madigascar before he was arrested by the lenehVlt has neither assurn ed his guilt nor hi innocence; has merely sought to get at the facts in Lis case, but has riot considered it necssary to furnish the republican news papers daily bulletins of the progress made.' When the first demand was made on the French Government f o r the record ot Waller's trial and ednviction it was met by the reply tha t i t had not been received. Liter demands were BOONE, s ; WATAUGA v COUNTY, N. met with other excuses.. All this has taken time. ( Diplo matic business (s not pondue ted with ; the heter-slcelter rush of a daily newspaper But whatis" worrying these people who without knowing what was being done have wilfully misrepresented the administration is the knowl edge that Ambassador Eus- tis has been instructed to make a peremptory demand for that record, accompany ing it with the assertion that a refusal will be considered by this government an ""ac knowledgement of the wrong ful treatment of Waller. When that record is examined by Mr. Eustis he will hevean op port.unitv to determine whe ther Waller has a right to ex pect anything fr m the Uni ted States Government or nor. Ex-Senator Ransom, now United States Minister to Alex ico, is in Washington. Helms been spending a few weeks in the mountains of North Car olina for the benefit of h i s health, but while feeling much better he does not yet feel well enough to announce a definite for his return to Mex ico. Although he has said nothing to cause it there is a belief among his friends that he wi'l not return to Mexico at all, as the climate does not agree with him. The pre valent opinion among his friends is that he will not re sign, but wiil be transferred to eome other post in the di plomatic service. He reports politics quiet in North Carol i un, and the crops, with the exception of cotton, unusual ly good. There was a rather heavy draft on the gold reserve last week, but there was nothing about it to cause any alarm. Itwastompet a legitimate purpose, thesettling of trade balancfs, that this gold was shipped to Eurnpe. and not. because of a wild scramble in stigaced by fear such m wjW the gold raid on the Treasu ry Inst winter. Treasury of ficials will not be surprised if considerable more gold is drawn out for shipment to Europe flut ing the month of August, but in September the trlmvdl turn and as mn;h or more gold will come from Euiope to pay for our crops. A local paper has interview ed a number of the more prominent .members of the la bor organizations, on Sover eign's proposed boycott of national bank notes. T h e President of the Federation oi Labor said: "The scheme is a very wild and visionary one. I think if the working people act as they have been advised by Mr. Sovereign they wil' become the laugh ing stock of the whole coun tr.f. Iarnsliongiy opposed to the course suggested by Mr. Sovereign. I think it bet ter for us to leave all such matters alone." That is a bouj the tenor of the talk of all of them. If Mr. Sovereign does not know that he made a great jnistake he must be very slow to comprehehend anything. Every btsjy else km. wait. Chjldren Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. . OUITCARY. i v Laura A., daughter of Le vi C. and Mary A. Mil ler, born Sept. 11. i860 and died June; 20th 1895. In early Hfe she became n christian and joined the M. E. Church south, - at Union, and was, in the true sense Of the' term: an humble and de vout ?hristian. She especially loved, and was punctual to attend, both the uhurch and Sunday School, and though young, she was an active wor ker in both. Her early pity, cheerful obedience, and sweet disposition was a great com fort to her parents and had a strong influence upon the entire family. After the death of her fa ther she seemed to take upon herself t he responsibility that rested upon him ascounselor with her mother in providing for the family, teaching the children, giving instructions both for their spiritual and temporal welfare?. She shared with her inothei all the bur dens of home; in her tioubles and beieavements, and after the death of her sister Belle, fras a motherly aunt to the babe she lett behind. She ex pressed n desire to live to train the child and the fami ly as well as the mother, had learned to rely upon hei as ai advisor and companion. But alas I about two years after the death of her father, consumption began to prey upon her system, and from the first she had but little hope of recovery. She talked freely of her strong faith in God and of the sweet coin- forts of religion, and. was de slrojis to live to promote His glory or to die to promote His glory as pleased Him best. Among man others who visited her during her illness were her pastor,. Rev. N. C. Combs, and brother A. Ro ten, and these brethren be lieve that they received more christian comfort andencour agemeni than they possibly couid have given her. About two weeks before her death, while at the home of her brother John she asked brother Ho ten to sing the song'Tr.i almost at home." While he was singing she be came very happy and shout ed with a strong voice, and for some time, the praises of God. At the very moment she began shouting her mo ther went to her and they em braced each other. They talk ed freely of the joys of the home circle betore it was bro ken and of "the htippy reun ion that would be after while.' She then called for herbroth er John and admonished him and plead with him to pre pare to meet, her in heaven. She next caMed for her broth er Charlie and said: "Charlie, you are a good boy and it won't be long until we meet in heaven." lie responded ed: "I will not be six months behind you." She also called her brother Frank and ear nestly besought him to pie pare to meet her in heaven, saying "I've often prayed for you." She then admon ished her sister and younger brothers, telling them how to live, how to do and "to C., tttimSUAt, AUGUST 15, 189o meet her in heaven. Shespoke to her aged grandfather, saying: "God bless you, tie will soon meet in heaven." Then after talking cheerfully to others she requested that she be curried home. But the most triumphant scene had not yettranspired Her death room was the very ante-chamber of heaven. Just after nooVi, believing that death was near, she request ed brother lto ten to sing I'm a!most at home." By her re quest singing and reading the precious promises continued the main part of theevening. After which she grew very weak and asked her friends to piny that she might have strength to talk. The Lord gave her strength. Then she called for her uncle .lames Mil ler and said to him: "Your mother has prayed so often for you and I have prayed for you and hoped to be instru mental in your conversion," and begged him to meet her in heaven. She spoke of her two uncon verted brothers, expressing her desire for theirsalvation. She asked her friends to pray that she might have strong faith to t he veiy last. Then brother Roten asked her: "Have you not strong faith in God?" She replied: "l'es, thank God, I have." He then said to her, Is it not sweet to rest in the arms of Jesus?" She replied, 'Yes, thank God; I Would not exchange it f.)r all the world, and I'll soon be with Jesus. Don't youthink I will soon be with Jestls ?" Daring all this commotion her countenance was beatn iig with asmile of inexpress ttble joy. About 0 o'clock, a. in, she qiietly 'passed a way. In the death i)f sister Mil ler the church and Sunday School has lost a worthy and influential member, society a worthy example and the fain ily a faithful and devoted sis ter and daughter. But their loss is her eternal gain. "For me to live is Christ but to die is gain." Dead? "She is not dead but sleepeth.' She sleeps in Jesus. "And they, also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Hun.'' May the Lord comfort the bereaved mother, the sister, and the five brothers left, be hind, and may we all have such a triumphant passage to the home of the good. A. J. BumtuH, N. C. C'jmus, A. Roten. Kenneth Bazernoor h;id the good fortune to receive a small bottle of Chambtilains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy when three members ot his family were sick with disentery. This one small bottle cured them all and he had some left which he gave to Geo. W. Bakei, a promi nent merclmnt of the place1, Lewiston. N. C, and it cured him of the same complaint. When troubled with dysente ry, diarrhoea, colic or chol era morbus, give this rome- dy a' trial and you will be more than pleased vith the result.
