The committee appointed by the iast Congress to inquire into the steel producing capacity of the works of the United States will be prepared to report soon after the Christmas re cess. The report will present an ex haustive review of this important branch of metallurgical industry and will also give an exhibit of the capa city of the works and the character of product with speeial reference to the manufacture of ordinance and ar mor plates. The result of the inqui ry shows that the steel works of the TTnited States nroduce a better Quali ty f equal grade than is produced by the most ceieoratea wores or j&ngiana and Germany, and therefore there is no occasion to consider the feature of dependence on any outside country for the supply of this class of materi al for government use. Another important feature of the report will be the formulation of a plan by means of which the governs ment would be in condition to manu facture its own ordnance. The sub ject of a national foundry will also be considered. The rivalry or. sec tions, it m feared however, would stand in the way of any very prompt action by eongress on this point. All things considered, the members of the committee recognizethe superior advantages of Philadelphia for loca tion, but Boston is a rormiaaDie rivai in mialitv of material. The Mouse committe consists of Randall, Hewitt Miscock, Fbelps and Keea. Thfi Senate committee on the same subiect. of which Senator Hawley is chairman, expects to be ready to re port about the same time. AQUILA JONES EI HOT WA TER. The Indianapolis; Postmaster Must Explain Why He Discharge cd a Ectter-Carrier. A Washington dispatch says : The Indianapolis . postmaster, Aquila Jones, is in the city. It is understood that Mr. Jones has been sent for to explain to the Postmaster General the reasons for the dismissal or abet ter carrier in Indianapolis recently. It seems a little hard on Mr. Jones just at this particular time, when he is beiore the senate ior connrmauon. The circumstances under which this particular removal occurred ?.re some what peculiar, adouc tne cime 01 the Hendricks funeral the letter car-. rier, Stearns, was riding on the plat form with a car driver. As nothing was talked of but the dead statesman the conversation opened immediately The letter carrier, with that cold cyn icism for which letter carriers are no ted said: "Well, poor Tommy is gone, his sore toe will not trouble him any more." 4 This was reported to Mr. Jones and the letter carrier was bounced. The latter denied ever saying what was attributed to him and his word was against the car driver, who is a Dem ocrat. It appears that other charges were subsequently made against the discharged official. As Hendricks is dead and buried, the enemies of the Indianapolis postmaster now hope to defeat his confirmation, and this new cause of complaint is to be used for all it is worth. The Cave of Umbrellas. Umbrellas will last far longer if when wet placed handle downward to dry. The moisture falls from the edges of the frame and thejf abric dries uniformily. If stood handle upward which is commonly the case, the top of the umbrella holds the moisture, owing to the lining underneath the ring and therefore takes a long time to dry, thus injuring the silk or oth er fabric with which it is covered. This is the prime cause of the top of the umbrella wearing out sooner than the other part. Umbrella cases, too are responsible for the rapid wear of the silk. The constant friction causes the tiny holes that appear so provok ingly early. When not in use leave the umbrella loose; when wet, never leave it open to dry, as the tense condition thus produced makes the silk stiff,, and then it will soon crack PILES!! PIUBSn PILES!! A sore core for Blind, Bleeding, Itching and Ul cerated Piles has been discovered by Dr. Williams, (an Indian Bemedyi, called Dr. Williams' Indian Pile Ointment. A single box has cured the worst chronic cases of 25 or 30 years standing. No one suffer five minutes after applying this wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions and instruments do more harm than good.

Smith 4 Co., agent- adeodAwiy Whereas, The traffic in alcoholic liquors has grown and is growing out of all ratio to the increase of popula tion in this country; and whereas, said traffic ud justly burdens every legitimate industry, imposes grievous tax upon honest labor, curses social life, begets crime, breeds pauperism, antagonizes the church, corrupts pol itics, nullifies law, is a menace to good government, and a peril to the State; and whereas, the policy of licensing said traffic has proved a policy of perpetuation instead of sup pression with the perpetuity of all its alarming conditions and alarming re suits,; and wheoeas, we believe license not only non-restrictive in fact but immoral in principle, debasing in practice, criminal in effect, and un worthly the endorsement of true christian patriotism , therefore Memlved, That every principle of political economy, every consideras tion of patriotic purpose, every ims pulse of humanity, and every attri bute of Christianity, demands the total prohibition of this traffic by State and National law; and that sueh prohibition, to be effective, must be bedded in the organic foundation of nation and State, and be secured through and guaranteed by a political party. Resolved, That as all secondary matters are treated by political pars ties from the "Standpoint ot expedi ency, as with the two old parties of our former affiliation this question of the liquor traffic is and must remain secondary ; and as we can no longer support either of these old parties in North Carolina and the nation, with out endorsing saloon influences, en couraging the power of the saloon in politics and aiding to perpetuate that power, we do hereby declare the im perative necessity for a new party, with prohibition of the liquor traffic its prime object, that we urge and will labor to secure its prompt and thorough organization everywhere, and that for it we invite the votes of all who cast ballots, and the sympa thy of all others. Resolved, That with the liquor traffic costing over two thousand million dollars annually for liquors bought and drank, for crime and pauperism growing out of their con sumption, for judiciary and consta bulary and penal and charitable in stitutions, made necessary by such crime and pauperism, for unproduc tive life resulting from it, for unpro ductive labor involved in it, and the enormous waste inevitable under it; with political corruption its legiti mate child, public abuses its natural brood, profitable production,discount ed because of it, helpful consumption limited, the equitable distribution of wealth and the equitable adjustment of public burdens made impossible, and every material and moral inter est enfolded by its organized selfishs ness ; the issue of its prohibition al ready fixed in politics by the reDeat ed action of the liquor dealers them selves, more closely involves the welfare of all the people, and is of far greater concern to the State and na tion than any other or than all other issues now politically recognized, and that as such it deserves, and for it we may justly claim, the acceptance of every candid citizen. Resolved, That we deem unwise and unpatriotic the cause of any man or party, or any locality or State, which denies the vital relationship of prohibition to our nation at large, and which proclaims it a local issue only, to be settled by each locality or State in its own way ; that as the na tional government alone can prohibit inmportation and interstate trans portation, has full jurisdiction over each territory and the District of Columbia, and claims a share in the profits of every liquor seller in the Union, reiterate our demand for na tional sovereignity over the liquor traffic to suppress it, instead of to legalize, to protect and to perpetuate it. Resolved, That we recognize in such demand the new national issue needs ed in our politics, to overcome sec tional bitterness, to unite Northern and Southern patriotic sen timent.and to promote those conditions of politi cal amity essential to national peace, progress and perpetuity. Resolved, That with confidence in the justice of our cause, with faith in God and prayers for divine guidance, we will go forward from this day, embodying prohibition in our ballots, and arraying ourselves, at the ballot box as elsewhere, in favor of sobriety and economy in government, of ex alted citizenship, and the noblest up building of the State. Cartons Facts. There are many curious facts in American history. Three Vice-Presidents, Gerry, Hendricks and Wilson died in November at dates which might all come in a single week. No President neither in or out of office has died in November, though six have died in July and four in June. Garfield died in September, Lincoln in April, Taylor in July and Harris son in April. One vice President, J. C.Calhoun, resigned, and seven men have held both Presidential and Vice Presidential chairs. John Adams, Washington's Vice President, suo ceeded him in the White House, Jef ferson, Adams' Vice President did likewise, and Martin, Van Buren, one of Jackson's Vice Presidents, was his successor. The other four be came President by death. They were Tyler, Filmore, Johnson and Arthur.
