An Explanation.
In justice to Representative Ewart, of
Heuderson, we publish the following letter
from him :
Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 12, 1887.
Editors Citizen : In your special of Feb.
10, 1 notice the following : "'There were
several sensational incidents, among them
the denunciation of Mr. Ewart, by Stewart,
republican, for his remarks about lobbyists
threatening members."
I write simply to say that there was no
such ''sensatianal incident" as referred to.
Stewart, in explaining his vote, simply
stated that Ewart's remarks as to lobbyists
approaching him with the statement that
the republican party would be ruined if the
Commission bill passed, was so far as he,
Stewart, was concerned, incorrect. . That
no such statement had been made to him,
and that his vote could not be bought, etc.
As my remarks were general, and not
special, Mr. Stewart was promptly exoner
ated by me from the charge. There was
no denunciation and nothing approaching
it, and my relations with Mr. Stewart are
of the friendliest character.
Yours respectfully,
H. G. Ewart.

The republican majority in .the
next Senate will be a frail and deli
cate, thing requiring1 careful nurture
and tender care. It will be a dis
quieting spectacle when the object
of so much solicitude shall be guard
ed and fondled by such a careless
nurse as the eccentric Riddleber
ger. The high hat question and the
low neck dress question are now be
ing discussed with a good deal of
warmth by Washington sociely. It
would seem as if a compromise
might be effected. Why not settle
both questions at once by putting
less materials into the hats and
more into the dresses?
The engineer of the train that met
with the fatal disaster at White
River a few weeks ago testified be
fore the coroner's jury that the "first
woman he rescued from the burning
cars cautioned him to be careful and
not tear her dress." And yet some
authorities talk about the proneness
of women to lose their presence of
mind. -
There is not the slightest founda
tion in the report that Parnell is
about to retire from the leadership
of the Irish party. His amendment
to the address was only defeated by
lUb. bexton Madea magnificent ef
fort in behalf of the measure. Par-
nell's health is improving. The cabi
net is at work on the proposed local
government bill.
No worse reproach could be put
upon the statesmanship of the Re
public than is involved in the col
lection ot $100,000,000 a year of un
necessary taxes tor a period ot sev
en years, lnere is a lower depth,
a more shameful injustice. It is
seen in' the squandering of - the rev
enues by representatives who were
elected to reduce them. Is it too
late for public sentiment to check
the" reckless extravagance of this
profligate Congress ?
Ihe talk about an extra session
of Congress is revived, and public
men who claim to have inside in
formation are . asserting that the
President will convene the Fiftieth
Congress early in May, for the spec
ial purpose of dealing with the rev
enue questions. It is quite certain
that this Congress will do nothing
in that line, and it would seem to be
the duty of the President to take
the step indicated if the democratic
party expects to keep its pledges
to the people.

A Gjod Joke oh thb Servant Girl. ,
On Thursday morning at a well-- known
farmer's home not far from town the hired
man and two of the farmer's sons were com
peting aiduously on the bam floor to ascer
tain who could put one of his heels around
bis neck. One ot the boys said he had
seen a man in the circus put both his heels
around his neck at once, and it would be
strange, indeed, if they could not get one
around. 1 he boys heaved and strained,
and the hired man did likewise, to accom
plish the feat But little did they know the
hired girl was watching the performance
with breathless interest through a knothole
in a barn, and in a few more hours the girl
was missing and a search was instituted
for her. After calling to her a number of
times with no response she was fonnd in
the milk-house lying prostrate on the floor
with both heels about her neck and utterly
unable to get them loose. After being
helped out of her predicament and taken
into the house it was found that her right
hip had been dislocated. A physician was
sent for who set the dislocated limb, but
tbe circus performer will be laid up for
several weeks. Exchange 1 .

They Felt Aggrieved. . .
The Legislative delegation sent up last
week to investigate the Morganton Insane
Asylum embraced two negro members of
the House. Things went all right aa far
as the public duties of the committee
were concerned. But while the commit
tee was at the Asylum Dr. Murphy, the
gentlemanly Superintendent, desired to
have them dine with his family. This
complicated affairs to some extent, as the
Hector did not desire to, and did not
invite, the negro members of the com
mittee to s-.t at his table, though he rro-
vided them with meals elsewhere: they.
however, declining to accept this offer of
Dr. Murphy. The Raleigh News-Observer
says ot it :
1 his they declined: and instead of
going off about their business or pleas
. u . 1 - . I -,
uic7, uiejr Biaiu 111 me reception room ana
cursed and swore about not being treated
the sanio as the white members. Thev
wanted to make themselves the cuests of
tne superintendent, and were dissatisfied
because they had not been asked to sit
at his table with his family.
It wa3 no part of Dr. Murphy's official
business to furnish them with anything
to eat at an.- wuat ixa .did provide be
paid for. If they' were not content with
his-a'rrsri'gfc&ientij they ought to have
quietly withdrawn and made such other
arrangements as suited them. Instead
of their having any cause of complaint,
they behaved very badly about Ihe
matter.
The .Vcws-Observer gives the sequal to
the matter by telling of one of the negro
members of the committee-rising to a
question of personal privilege in the
House on Friday, and complaining of the
discourteous treatment he received at the
Asylum. The News-Observer correctly
says :
"As far as possible, committees that
aro to go off travelling together, ought to
be sheeted with a view to avoid a want
A harmony; and when colored members
go on such public duties they should
understand that while they will be treat
ed courteously and kindly, they are not
entitled to any official recognition except
while in the perforaiance of their official
duties.
Sickness In the f onntry.
Reports from the country indicate that
there h at this time rnori than the usual
amount cf sickness prevailing. Most of
these troubles seem to arise from- an im
pure condition of the blood, caused bv
in excessive secretion of bile. This
causes fevers of a bilious character, and
we regret to say tiiat in some places it
has proved very fatal. We therefore
offer th's gratuitous advice to those not
yet afflicted- Keep your liver in a
healthy condition, and your blood rich
and pure. Good blood means good
health, whilst bad blood bad health.
Hart's Blood and Liver Pills are entirely
vegetable and are just the pills needed
at this season of the year.
