Church, is a great affliction to that connection and another loas of a treat man to orlr race. Bishop Pajne gave his life for the eleva tion of his race and now at the com mand of God lays down the work at a good ripe old aga. The deaths of so many sagacious leaders of the people at this time is unfortunate and lays greater responsibilities upon those who are left behind. Land Acres Decreasing. It strikes us as rather peculiar that the number of acres of land listed for taxation this year should Ioq nearly, one million less than last year. We dont know how to account for it, but it seems to us to show gross carelessness or negligence on the part of those charged with the duty of taking the tax lists. A Call to McKinlsy from Alabama. "Birmingham. Ala., (Spcoial). Ia J r - . the iron and coal men of mis dis trict at the action of the Ways and Means Committee in placing coal "i . t r l ; i. mm berof Democrats have circulated a petition asking Governor Mc Kinley to address the voters here at an early date on the subject of protection. The petition has heen forwarded. It is believed that Gov ernor McKinly will come. Republican Senators. The 'News and Observer" of this city says : "It i3 stated that the Republican Senators have agreed not to resort to obstructive tactics against Democratic measurers." Of course it can be easily seen that the wish is father to the thought in this instance, but we dont think our contemporary can really hope that Republican Senators will sit idly by and see humane, just and benificent tariff, financial and elec tion laws uprooted and repealed without even mildly protesting against such injurious action. How ever as the session advances and the days become longer and the de bates fiercer our Democratic friends will probably see the wisdom of changing their views as to the tac tics of Republican Senators. The repeaters looking to the Republi can minority to save them from the threatening Democratic legislation that now menaces the prosperity . .. . t 1 of our great and growing country and they know that the Republi cans will save them now as they have so nobly done in the past. The A. and M. College. . The Agricultural and Mechanical College for the . Colored Race is "now opeirind prepared to receive students as js stated by the adver tisement elsewhere in this paper. The cut of the building shows it to ba a very handsome on, and we are informed that it is well adapted for the purpose for ' which it was built. We hope ".that the young men will avail themselves of this opportunity to get an industrial education. For years we held un contestedly the mechanical trades, but the white boys are now turn ing their attention to these pur suits, and if we would win in the race, we must be equal to the emergency. The expenses for pri vate students are very cheap, while for Statestudents, are furnished free. We hope to see this mshtu- na State, ancTas one of the means of doiDg so, we" hope the next legisla ture will increase the appropriation for building and maintenance. . . Congress. Congress assembled' in regular session last week, but did not have to go through the work of organ ization, for tliat much had been done by the special session. The silver repeal bill having become a law the tariff, election and curren cy questions will be the ones that must be settled by the regular session. As to the tariff question there is so much dodging and hedging on it by the Democrats, and so much opposition to the bill as framed by the Wilson Commit tee, by members of his own party, that we think it is safe to predict that the bill may pass the House but will never get through the Sen ate, therefore, the McKinley law will not be repealed, or in other words, the promises of ihe tariff reformers will hot be kept. ' The bill repealing the federal election laws ha3 already passed the House, and now comes up in the Senate, but we do not believe that the Re publican Senators have yet reached the point where they will surrender everything and tamely submit to the passage of this repeal bilL We are free to confess that the laws" have been a dead letter upon the statute books for some years, but this is no reason why they should be allowed to be repealed, simply to please those why are trying to thwart and destroy every means by which honest elections are to be held in this country. It is an open question as to whether their repeal would not serve best after all to arouse the Republicans of the coun try, to the dangers that threaten the prosperity of its institutions. We believe that the result of the last election was an emphatic response to the vote of the House repealing these laws and that it was intended to show in unmistakable terms the disapproval of such action. On the currency question the Demo crats have struck down silver and it now lies with them to remedy f the matteryegislatiojiythis Congress. The President has not yet outlined his policy nor stated how he will meet the increasing de ficiency in the Treasury. The res ponsibility is upon the Democrats and the issue must be met squarely andXintelligently, or they must ac knowledge their incapacity to meet them. We take it that the republican minority in both the Senate and the house, will be alive to the issues and will force the righting all along the line. For years the Democrats have said what they would do if they had tne power, now they have it, let's see what they will do for the people. Watch them. The Presidents' Message. The message sent to Congress last week by President Cleveland, was a very tame affair, in fact it did not come up to his former stats paper, nor did it meet , the ex pectancy of his friends. It reviews briefly American relations with va rious foreign countries. It sum marizes salint portions of the Re port of the Secretary of the Treas ury, stating that more than $108, 000,000 of gold was exported during the year, the largest amount on rec ord and estimating a Treasury defi ciency for the current year of $28, 000,000. It disapproves the further extension of free postal deliveries. It reports 33,690 pensioners dropped from the rolls. It professes a new devotion to Civil Service Reform and economy in public expenditure. It finally declares that the work of tariff re form must go on, and strongly com mends the Wilson bill and urges its adoption by the Congress. There is nothing in the message to give encouragement or hope to the men who have their means in vested in the various enterprises of this country, nor to the toiling masses who are dependent upon these investments for the necessary means with which to sustain their families. The people have asked for bread but have been given a stone. On the great and all absorlpi fluostion of finance, the Presi tion made, one of usefulness to the advises Congress to do nothin-fnd present, notwithstanding the dis tressed financial condition of the varied interests of our country at present. He frankly admits that ha does not know what to tell them to do in regard to the matter. If he will consult Senator Sherman againi he will as quickly lead him out of the wilderness as rra did dur ing the extra session of ) Congress. The President il trying1 to concen trate his forces pn the Wilson tariff bill and begs them very earnestly to pass it- He realizes that he has a hard crowd to manage, and does not give them but one job at a time, for fear that they -may not accomplish "anything." - . He . sajs, "his great desire for the" success of this measure, and his intense feel ing of responsibility impels him to invoke'' their aid in this work,. He seems to tmuK mat tne wnoie weight is upori; him instead of upon his party, in other .'words, he re cognizes the fact that he is bigger than his party. The message is as dumb as an oyster on the question of the "Infamous Federal election laws'' and of course we can but con- elude that the President forgot to mention it for we guess he is as anxious now as in the past, to have them repealed. The Southern mem bers of : his, cabinet ought to have reminded him of that "paramount question" .for , if ear that the next Congressional election will come before these laws are repealed. The "Charlotte Observer," "Wil mington " Messenger" and , "News and Observer." which are the rec ognized leading Democratic Organs of the State, talk as follows about the message : The "Charlotte Observer says :; "It is, upon thejwhole, a disappoint ment. It is not as strong in its structure as Mr. Cleveland s pa pers usually are, but the chief dis appointment is found m what it A, A does not say. His announcement that it is too early to say what financial-legislation is needed, fol lowing the repeal of the silver pur chase act, is not responsive to pub lic expectation, nor is it consistent with his declaration in connection with, the tariff, that "if political promises and professions have any binding force, our failure to give the relief, so long awaited will be sheer recreancy." The Chicago platform promised other things than the repeal f the Sherman act and the revision of the tariff. It is strange that the President -overlooks the fact!! The "Messenger" says: "On the whole the message is rather dis appointing in that it lacks in some particulars that honest, straight forward drive at main facts that heretofore characterized Mr. Cleve land's public writings and smacks more of the politician than of the true statesman that was heretofore the prominent features of our Presi dent's utterances The "News and Observer'' says r ."There is a great deal of unrest among the people of this State, and the Presidents message is not cal culated to allay it. It will fall as a wet blanket on those who had hopes that he would offer some recommendation on which the Democratic people of the State could all unite, ignoring past differ ences." ; To the Gazbtte.

Editqr :-I fear that the min isterial brethren and other men of influence, are wanting in respect to giving.- tho proper and necessary attention to urgent and pathetic appeals for food, clothing, and shelter to relieve , the sufferera of the Sea Islands on the South Carj lina coast. - iV iss Clara Barton, President of the National Red Cross, whoso head: quarters are at Beaufort, S.

Her statements are trustworthy, and her estimates are reliable. 30,000 na ked, hungry and homeless souls are held up before the God favored people of this country as objects worthy of your sympathy and bene ficence. ' These appeals are the finger of God pointing to a field where you may cultivate and enlarge the spirit pf giving and practice of self denial. This is a good opportunity to test the faithfulness of God in adher ing to his promises to those that manifest their compassion for the afflicted by charitable deeds. In every town and city in the State, are those who would gladly contribute of their means to assist in relieving these sufferers. If they had the cause properly presented to them. Food, clothing as well as money are thankfully received by these sufferers. Our liitle town with a population of less than four hundred, in response to an appeal in behalf of that people, by the writer, have given a box and bar rel of good and serviceable clothing, whose value is more than fifty dol lars, to these storm ridden people.

Lyman passes away and takes up his abode in a more congenial and peaceful clime in the realms above, resting from his earthly labors sweetly in the pres ence of God, in whose service he has worked so faithfully on earth. Thus a great and good man has quitted earth and all its troubles' and gone to swell the numbers of the angelio hosts in Heaven. The eloquent -voice that has electrified thousands . from hundreds of pnlpits both in : this country and Eu rope to every nation and tongue is hushed ; and it is this fact that carries sadness to many hearts. Bishop Lyman was charitable and philanthrophio and his whole life while in the ' ministry was devoted to relieving suffering humanity. The colored people who he was just be gining to better know, and brought into closer relations with this venerable man of God are especially grieved at hu death, for he had manifested great in terest and concern as to their welfare and redemption in educational and christian work. We sincerely hops and trust that the plaoe made voi J by his death may be filled by one like him in chris tian spirit and kindly feeliogs towards the colored people of his faith. We ex tend to the bereaved family our full sim- pathy and condolence. The Bishop's death took place at 8 o'clock on .Wed nesday a. m. From White Citizens. Louisburo, N. 0., Dec. 9, 1893.
