' " L " " KNOW NOT WHAT THE TlilTlI MAY BEf I'LL TELL IT AS IT WAS TOLD TO ME." ..'S.'y . . - - 1 ; Volume 75-No 3Sl Durham, N. C, Wednesday, February 6, 1895.' Established 1S2Q Corn Will Be King. The production of corn in the United States Inst year was four huudred million bushels less than the average, and the country is that much , short on com. The Baltimore Manufacturer's Record gives the following facts: "As the average crop of the United States for some years has been about 1,750.000,000 bushels, the production of the last two years is over 500,000,000 busliols short of the average. The coun try will, therefore, cuter upon the next crop year with a very small stock of corn on hand so small, indeed, that even should we have another 2,000,000,000 crop, as in 1891, it would require all of this enormous yield to make up for the deficiency of tho last two years. Even should such a crop as this be produced prices would prob ably t-till bo high, because of the decrase in 1894. Another small crop following the one of last year would necessarily mean exhorbi taut prices for corn." Farewell to His Church Sunday at the Firtt -.Baptist church llev. J. L. White preach ed the last sermous of his pasto rate, says last week's Asheville Citizen, and was heard by large congregations. In the morning his S3nnon was more especially to the church, his text being from 2 Cor. 10:11: "Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one-mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.'' Mr. White spoke affectionately to the congregation that he has served for three vears, and which he leaves with reluctance. During his pastorate 410 members have been admitted to the church. His farewell visibly aflti ted many of the hearers, who regret his being called to another field. Mr. White and his family will leave for their new homejn Ma con, Ga , Thursday. The Outlook at Washington The outlook at Washington is not promising, says the Phila delphia Times, solely because Ca-sar has a party, Antony has a party, bu' Home has none. Our present financial troubles come from three causes, which may be briefly summed up as fol lows: First We have very bad fin ancial laws, passed by Republi can authority, which mut be ex ecuted by the President and Secrc t.uy of the Treasury. They may have been wise when enacted, but tiny arc now not only unwise but fearfully perilous to the public credit and private business, and new condition compel their re peal or moIi(ication, .Second Tho Democrat' have a majority in the House and ore presumably rciionsihle fr legisla- t on. The r laidcnh n has an so imljccile that it dWt know wl at tnl nisa responsible p:tity to meet the emergency, and if it did know.probably wouldn't do it, Third The leans have l: members of the Hon, md tlwv oM-ose tverythimr and i-ro- iff'v iiothinir. Thev i-refer UiA- n and industrial distress to wise j H'islation while the Democrrt are in iower. These are the cause which have prevented sound financial legisla tion in Washington. There are enough honest money Democrats in the House;, who, if suptiortcd by the honest money Republicans, could pass a bill any day that w-.ii id stop tho drain of goJJ and r'-tore public confidence iu every business and industrial circle, but thus far ntt a Republican move merit has been made excepting to oppose everything that ha been pr.eiitwl by the majority. The Republicans could move to amend; could movo to substitute; Could do anything to Jrfe t any financial measure before the House, but they find the Demo crats divided , by Fopulists and Agrarians within their ranks, as tho Republicans will bo whenever they shall bo called to responsible action, and they reiuse all aid to legislation solely to make the ma jority party appear responsible be fore the country. The man who is more respon sible than all others in the House Unlay for tho failure to legislate on the - financial question , is Thomas B. Reed, of Maine. He controls the action of the Repub lican party, and has thus far re fused to permit it to give any aid whatever to remedial legislation. Such is tho situation at Washing ton. Etenal Truth An eternal truth expressed by Thomas Jefferson: "The love of order and obedience to the laws, which 60 ro:i arkably characterize tho citizens bi the United States, are sure pledges of internal tran quility; tttjd the elective franchise, if guarded as the ark of our safety, will peaceably dissipate all com binations'to "ubvert a Constitu tion dictated by the wisdom and resting on the will of the people." TrtcJj on tha Sea. Authentic details of the appal ling catastrophe in the North Sea which occurred a few days ago are ttill meag'-r, and it t-till looks as if the exact truth would never ) n i. h U d;'i nitely estab lished thr.t the vessel which crash ed into the Lloyd steamship Kibe was the st -aniboat Crathie, plying btU'cen Abeid-'enand Rotterdam, and it now seems probable that not a soul was saved out of the four hundred 'men, women and children who set sail from Bre men in the ill-starred vessel, ex cel t tne handful of half-frozen ierons who were picked up by the fishing smack Wildflower. How complete and sudden the whole tragical affair was is shown by tiie fact that boats which, visit ed the scene ol the collision were unable to find the slightest float- ting vefrtigs of the Elbe. It is stated that neither of the two pi tot was on the bridge of the Elbe at the time the collision occurred. This statement should 'be thor oughly sifted ; on its face, how ever, the story told by clliccrs of the Crathie is absurd. These men a'rt that they stood by where the Elba went down over two hours, and, hearing and seeing nothing, then sailed away. Such a story is incredible. All indi cation po to show that as soon as the Crathie could disentangle it self it cowardly made for port, leaving the passengers and crew of the crippled Vessel to save them selves as Ul they could. Trng- "I inn kiiki lias oiix-n occurred r the wnU rs, and The lit ' ': rrd-d some of them, nd judging from the facts pub lished, the N'otth Sa calamity S Uk ,ike a of unpardonable jriniiml n"g!ig..i,ee on the pnrtof ,lUwrn ,f ' forthcy H'1 to iirni irotii tne i:rn iiore me crush t iok place, for according to trustworthy re.rt, tho Elbe re isUnHy signaled the Crathie "by rockets, but the hitter neither slackened its ft-ced nor Veered its course. This is the morcjignifi cant because officers of the Crathie admit that there was no fog at the time, and that they discerned the color and funnels of tho Elbe while they were yet some distance from the German ship. Investigation, however, wil undoubtedly settle this point. One great trouble with a catastroj of this kind is that the lip of so many j rsoii aro forever sealed which, if they could speak, would make the real truth known. Uwi time, the whole civilized world is touched with sympathy for the multitudes of homes which have been darkenod by this latest sea tragedy. . . . Pugilistic Coroctt is not doing much in tho fighting line, but his oratori cal department is working over time, nea' is his las test disquisi tion on things pugilistic: "This fight is simply a business proposition with me. 1 The glory don't don't count I settled that iu my mind when I went into the ring with John L Sullivan. When appeared there was a distinct hiss, and when the. champion came on he was cheered to the echo. When I had him licked the people who had hissed me went wild with enthusiasm and cheered until they were hoarse,and what was there for Sullivan ? The kisses. The public favor is a good thing for the champion, but it only asts. while he is champion. I don't propose to let anyone whip me. I shall fight Fitz and then shall quit the ring for good, with championship honors, fori shall beat Fitzsimmons without any trouble. As to the future of jHigilisim he sail: "It has no future. The Hxple and the press are against it and in a year or two all there will be left of it will bo an occasional encounter in a baru for a thou sand dollars a side. You cannot stand out against public opinion, and I will be the retired than pion by that time. These acci- euts have done it for they were accidents. It is not possible to it a man with your fists and kil rum. it is tne impact wun tne ground that is fatal, but you can't make that clear to every body, and pugilism will not last." Monopoly is getting in the same boat with pugilism, public opinion is against it, and when the press aud the public get down on such things, they must go. ' Texas planters are not ) wild on the cotton question as you heard they were. It Is true Texas has raised aa enormous cotton crop, the past season, and does the same every season and while cotton can be raised here with less cost per haps than in most cotton states owing to the fact that we require no fertilizers, still our people are fast realizing that it does not pay to plant cotton to the exclusion of other crops. Cotton at the pres ent prices is not a paying crop, even in Texas, where it requires no fertilizers, and less labor to produce it than in any other of the cotton crow in a; states. Human nature if the same here as in the good old state of Georgia, and you know we don't stick to anything very close unless there is money iu it, barring politics and news papers. Italy (Tex) News. Nothing could better illustrate the mental and moral confusion which possesses the men who are dragging the honor of Tennessee into the mire and inelTaceably dis gracing and senile old man, wlu m they have duped to their heartier, selfish and shortsighted schemes, than the irrelevant black guard ism with which they assail every one who dares to question their pro cceding.

Dallas Times. A significant incident of the pas sage by the senate of the Nicara gua canal bill, was the choking of an amendment compelling the com pany to employ only American la borers.

Raleigh Visitor: At 3 o'clock Friday morning Dr. Sam A. Wil liams, representative in the house from Warren, died at his boarding house here of pneumonia.

This road is now leased to the Southern railway. It is un derstood that Inman, Swan & Com pany wi'l be the purchasers and that it will be run in connection with the Fort Royal and Western Carolina railroad. A bam belonging to a Mr. Kur- teson at Plum Tree, 12 miles from Cranberry, was burned Sunday night, cremating 12 horses. Four of the horses were being used by late and McClure, Knoxville drummers. These men lost f 2ooo worth of samples in the fire and their hacks were also burned. The loss is estimated at $4000. rue koo qjcst00. It ia impossible to estimate how much the effect which the hard times and the low price of cotton would otherwise have hd on the south, says the Atlanta Journal, has been broken by, the fact that this section last year produced more corn and meat than ever be fore in its history. It was easy for Georgia to send twenty five car oads of provisions to suffering Nebraska, and for several other southern states to spare large sup plies from their cribs and smoke houses for the same cause The experience of last year should c coutageour farmere to continue a the san e line of Bcnsille con duct. Plant plenty of corn and raise an abum! nice of meat, should be the motto of every farmer in the cotton states.

Tbdcompetition for these prizes will undoubtedly be lively, snd many a farmer who fails to get one of them will Cad his own reward in an increased supply of meat and in hogs ot which any man might be proud. The News and Courier is to be commended for offering these pie miuins.

Washington, Feb. 1, 1895. A very shrewd politician said to your correspondent today: "The outlook today is that there will be no financial legislation this session of congress. The president is get ting ready to issue a $100,000,000 worth of bonds. I know this to be a fact and that the bonds arc I eing printed at the bureau of engraving and printing. The administration does not now expect any financial bill to become a law and depends on this large bond Issue to tide over the present stringency." Secre tary Carlisle ia not in the least dis turbed about the condition of the treasury. He thinks there will be an increase in the revenaes of the government in the spring sufficient to supply the needed funds. I hope he is right in his calculations. There is no denying the fact that chaos expresses in a single word the financial situation among dem ocrats here. The silverites threat ened all day yesterday to introduce a bill as opposed as possible to the president's policy. There is a clique of senators who favor com promising the differences in the party, if such a thing is possible. Faction fights are the order f the day, and it i impossible to predict what a day may bring forth. Late this afternoon the Presi dent nominated Holmes Conrad, of Virginia, to be Solicitor General of the United States, and T. M Dickinson, of Tennessee, to be assistant attorney general.- Solici tor General Maxwell resigned his position because he could not get along with Attorney General Ol ney. A Mr. Olirer, of Georgia, but a native of Sampson couuty, N. C, has just been -appointed consul general to Merida, Yucatan. .There was a lively fight in the house today between Mr. Breckin ridge of Kentucky and Mr. Heard, of Missouri. The lie was passed and but for the prompt interfer ence of members and the sergeant at arms they would have come to blows. Both gentlemen were be' lore the bar of the house and with drew their remarks, but Mr. Breckinridge aftcrwaids intimated that this was not the last of it. The inference is that the Kentucky colonel is going to fight. The reception at the white house last night to the judiciary and the members of congress was brilliant and well attended.

V .t L ABSOLUTELY PURE The Day ol Reckoning . The work .of destruction, aa it is '. outlined ny tne introduc tion of the bills approved by Butler, goes merrily on at Ral eigh.- The forces of the com- bne are in high glee. Aa Pop ulists they have seated one United 8tates Senator who be lieves in protection, which they denounce, and -as Republicans they will seat another. who be- .. 1 ieves or did in tarm reiorm, which the -radicals denounce. They are turning out Democrats from the Assembly as fast as they can reach the contested cases, and without allowing the evidence on which it is done to come before the body' which j votes on the matter. The day I of reckoning done come," says Lusk in the jargon that draws applause from the dark galleries of the Senate. The combine boast that they will undo twen ty years of legislation at this one session. They will leave not one stone upon another. We have to wait and possess our souls in patience, see what bills are passed and how they are taken by the people; but this is pretty certain: if the Rep.- Pop. combine goes on in tne spirit in which it has begun it will as surely overreach ttself and fall outside the breast works as night follows day. There is not so much as a pre tense that there is to be much legislation in the interests of the people: it is mainly for the offices; mainly on a plan to give the greatest possible opportun ity for holding power in the State indefinitely; to inflict as much injury as possible on the Democratic party, to humiliate its ablest men, to tear down mainly for the mere sake of tearing down. For the party or combine that legislates in this spirit the day of reckoning cannot be far distant Asheville Citizen.
