( onfercneesare held ( v erv day with Mr jlcKinlo.v by Kenator-H who favor the tariff and by Senatorn who favor free trade, and the odd thinyr i.s that both rinses of Senators talk asthonjib they believe Mr. McKinlnv to bt- on t heir side. AM sot ta of pro positions are liiijij advanc ed by republican Senatorw to avoid anything like an open rupture in thHrparty on this question, orm of iheai being to continue tne debate ontil the close of the sessioa with out allowing t h- bill Tt come to a vote, and another to load it up with all sorts of a ineiidinents and then defeat it bv an overwhelming vole. The dodge in either of these Hxpi dients would be so pal pa ble that it is hardlj conceiva lile that the republican lead ers will be foolish enough to allow either to be adopted. rite republican, party is in control of all branches of the government and for it to tail to pla-e itself on record by positive legislation m t h i s question, would be an ac knowledgment of weakness that would be absolutely cer tain to o rive 1 he party from power. This is why they will have (o patch up soui.j sort of legislation. It was by a strit parly vote, excepting Senator Lind siiy, of Ky., who voted with the republicans, that the Sen ate tabled Senator Allen's a uiendinent 10 the Porto ftico bill, declaring that by force of the Pit ris Treaty of Peace i he Jonstitution of the Uui led States wasextnded over Porto Rico and its inhabit ants, and the pievious talk o'some of the republican Sen ators made their vot's some what surprising, as a vote to table the amend. nent was e quivalent to a vote in favor of the contention (hat Con gress can legislate tor our new possessions, regardless of His constitution. By a o incidence the vote was taken just after Senator Lhilton had made a speech, in which he said 'Our Constitution goes t'j Porto Rico, it goes everywhere that the Ameri ca n power goes, and it is h shairm to our pretensions that the first act of an Arncr ican Congress in dealing with our new acquisitions iroin Spain should be an effort to deny to I hat people the high est right of freemen the pro tection of a written Consfitu tion It seems like a tra visty to hold that Congress, which is the creature i.f the Consti tution, can legislate for any body or anything in disre gard f the terms of that Constitution." The Semite amended the House bill, placing at Mr. Me Kinley'H disposal all money collected on Porto Kic.iti pro ducts, under the, Dingily tar iff and all tfi becollected there under, to be spent dt his dis cretion for the benefit of the Porto Rienns, by linntingthe money to the amCunt collect fd before the beginning of this year slightly more than Jj;2.000.000-publie works or for other governmental pur poses on the island, and then passed it without a division. The alleged offer of t h e good offices of this govern met to facilitate negoMa tions for pence between Great Britain and the Dutch Uepub lies in South Africa, was con tiriuatory rather than other wise ol the belief that an un derstanding exists between the McKinley administration and the present British gov eminent. It enabled Ml'. Me Kinley to make an attempt 10 sooth" the .niiaieious te publican sympathizers with the two struggling republics, by pretending to do some thing, and at t lie samp time gave Lord Salisbury just what he wanted as an excuse to serve notice on the powers of Euiope, through his an swer to the alleged offer of our good offices that no me diatiou would be tolerated by Great Britain, and thai the conquest of the two re puMics would be pushed to a conclusion as oi iginall.y plan tied, if that was not the re suit of an undeistanding be tween the British government and the McKinley ad mi lis tration, it was one i,f theodd est coincidences that ever oe cm ri d. Sena tor Mason to-lay called up his Boer resolution in the Senate, and something may be said on this phase of thequestion. The republicans have compelled the resold tion to he adopted in secret session, but the talk in secret session has a ha bit of get ting out. Foreign policies arenotthe only things this ndininistra tion is copying irom Europe an nations. Secretary Long has created a boaro that is to be known as the Naval Policy Board, corresponding to general staff of European na vies, which will control our naw both in peace ami war. Admiral Dewey is head otihe new board. Inasmuch as our Navy has got along for more tvian a century; during which it has won some of the gieat est victories ever fought on water. t he reason for su-h a lMdical departure is not up parent. Less red tape, not more, would seem to be what is needed. As long as Dewa,r is at the head of the hoard, no fear need be felt a b o u t what it may do. but with a political favorite at its head, it might :lo much mischief. Deeming I he present session an inopportune time tose care ratification of i he sever al reciprocity treaties with colonies of (ireat Britain the administration has had the time w it Inn whi-h they mav be ratified extended one ear. We hue saved many do. tot bills sin -e we began using Chamberlain's Cough Ueiae d, in oar home.

D. S. Menrkle, (Jeper a I Merchant and Farmer. Mat I Penn. For t?ule by deal- I era. Special Raleigh Correspondence. kditor Damovrnt. A republican of proviinenee from the eastern part of the State said to-day that he vi olently opposed his party's having tiny organization in the East for the August elec tion, and assigned as a rea son that to organize would on ly make the whites more de termined to carry the elec tion. This was a delicate way of expressing his belief that the democrats would certain ly win. The fact is that the republi cans so far have no plans and no candidates, It is always their custom to select their nen before hand, make up a slate in fact, but this year they are at sea, and offices appear to go begging, hey know democratic nomina tions are equivolent to elec tion. Not a republican can be found who has any idea who will be his party's nomi nee for Governor. Out of a dozen asked, not one has an swered with nn, degree of positivertess. Some say in a yague way. Richmond Pear son, while others say. he does not. want (denomination but wants to Congress from the Ninth District. Complete as was Chairman Holton's downfall and col lapse two .years ago. republi cans are saying he will be re elected Chairman. Speakings are in many coiin ties and wildly scattered. The a mend meat is he sole topic The plan to n.ake all else sub ordinate to it is being car ried out by the democrats. The republicans are putting some speakers in the Meld, but they do most of their work by bush -whacking, hi king single voters or very small groups. It will be a costly campaign for them, but of course 1 1 1 ) i National Committee will Ivl,) tlu'm, as i' did in '(.)(5, when ii gave 500,000 for North Carolina. In a few cases popu!;!s ;'iv .speaking, but a vcrj few. Senator Butler in practically the only populist to m a k e any sign, barring t he nj n e mem br r.s of t In? State Com mittee who tm t Iw-re in .latin aryand formulated against the amendment. A populist, who in 1800 wasof State prominence sn vs Senator Butler is dealing with the republicans as if he could command, or comman ded, 00,000 populists, where as he does not control 10, OOO, and that the populists who will vote against t h e amendment would do so any way, iutler or ifo Butler. Some of the populists, who in 1S00 and 180S were prom iii.Tit in polities, wi'l thin ear retire. Sla'e Auditor Vyer, ex Chairman, will le one. The populists ivho are trying to drive their people Hgaiust the amendment have discovered that they can not earn out their plans. En ough hints have been drop pe to show them what the Commit tee will do that is, leave the amendment to thj individual view of the popu lists. II on tfSks people from the country in Eastern or On tral North Carolina the ques tion ' What do you hear the white republicans saying on the question of the amend ment?" the reply is. 'Thf.v are divided; some for a n d some against it." A politi cian would declare ihev were all against it. The attitude of thf; 'negro on this question is interest ing. It is passive. lie sees what is sure to happen. Jim Young says the negroes care nothing about registering or voting, ieel little or no inter est in the election, and want the white people to settle the franchise matter, thenegr.ies merely wishes 1o be let a lone. The white republicans want, the negroes to keep out of the conventions, keep in the background in fact, but tt register. Young, speaking for the negroes, says there will be few if any in the con ventions. The question is whether this is of their own motion, or whether it is not a following of the wishes of the white republicans. It is very hard to stand idly by and se ourdenr ones suffer whi'e a wailing the nrri val of the do:toi. In Albany, N. Y., dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child then very s'n-k with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he eft word f.)v him at once on his return. lie also bought a hot I h- of Chnmb'Tlninscough Remedy, w liicll lie I) o p e d would give soaje iclief until the doctor should nrri ve.

How the Ktgro Wtelde ercat Power as a Voter. Chatham Record. Although the negroes com pose only about one third of the population of this State, : yet at elections they hold the balance of power whenever there is any serious division among white men. They voto in a solid mass just as they are told, and do not divide their votes as the white men do. Thus, by a division u mong the whites und by the solidity of the negroes, the , latter wield a political power f ir greater thim their num bers entitle them. And. so it happens that, al though there are twice as ma ny white voters in North Car olina as there are negro vo ters, the latter have always been, ever since they were en franchised, a disturbing and dangerous eminent in our State politics. The solidity of their votes their voting as a solid mass enables a small minority of the whites to tint vote and defeat a large tnajoritr of the whites. For instance, there are a boat 230,000 white votersin this State and 120,000 ne gro voters, ami yet, if one fourth of the white men vote with the solid mass of ne groes, it enables the latter to outvote and defeat the other three-fourths of the whites. In this manner one white man, however mean and con temptible he may be, is ena bled to outvote und defeat his three white neighbors. Is this right? Is this white supremacy? Those who think it is not right will vote for the suf frage amendment and there by eliminate the negro from politics, and no longer per mit one-fourth of the whites with the solid mass of ne groes, to outvote and rule o vsr the other three-fourths of the b?st white people in our State. Charlotte Observer: Con gressman f Sella my lias made no report as to the progress of t he bill to create a Federal clerk in Charlotte There is a very strong opposition to the measure, and tjie indiea tions are that Col. Ileniv C. Cowles. of Stalesville, will con tinue to run the machinery of the dist riot court at this place. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has, become so prevalent that It Is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, If the uyne scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when It should be able to control the passage, it Is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon It. the cause of the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the Immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It Is sold by druggists, In fifty cent and one dollar sizes.
