DF.CEM15EU WHKAT Tl'MBLE. Chicago, Oct. 22. December wheat took another big tumble on the-board of trade today and the wild excitement on 'change which accompanied the collapse ordered on a papic. There was a fall of 41 cents from yesterday closing price, exceeding the ad vance of any day since the sen sational upward movement be gan. Late in the day there was a recovery and the highest point during the morning session was 741 cents. The main cause of 'he decline was said to be the failure of several large houses to buy cash wheat. t IVte'a Grave. Literary strangers who came to the city very often inquire for rpe's grave and are sur urised to find It in the heart o the town instead of in som. pretty suburban cemetery. Ac English ecclesiastic who wa ro recently said that West minister reminded him of somi if those London churchyards vith low walls and roiling ound them in most instance oery old in which often celt rities are buried. The con. ilete history of these Londoi urial places has been recent! old in a book written by a lad' vho had devoted about twent; ears to finding out their his r.ory. There was, of course, t great deal of curious lore un earthed, as there is a story at tached to every foot of ground in London. Some of those who make the pilgrimage to Pdf't grave think the walls and rail ings should come down, and tb was Joaqaln Miller's opinion. He thought the effect of the monument, placed in the corner and partly cut off from view, was diminished. It had, to his mind, a contracted and squatty look. The trees ' and grass of the graveyard wear a dull, deep green at present, and almost every morning the custodian of the plaee and a ferocious mastiff stand at the gate and look about as if they had been vigilantly on duty all night. The school children go shyly by, afraid of the big dog, and the sparrows bop among the slabs. Baltimore News. N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1896. THK NOltTHEXX AXp SOL THE HX KKGlta David T. Duncan, the New York correspondent of the Char- lotto Observer, writes his paper as follows, under tho above bead, that will be pf interest to our col ored readers who are continually talking about how good the negro is treated up north: : "Says the Evening Telegram 'Did you ever think of the differ ence between the negro of the north and the negro of the south ? Here he is apt to be. the meanest menial, while there ho is a mas ter workman. Here he helps to dig the ceilar; there he is the man who builds the frame of the build iug. Here he mixes whitewash aud daub's the fences with it; there he is a regular painter with some dignity in his bearing. Tile south gives most of its best work to the negro, while .in the north he scratches, gravel for a hart exis tence.' - That is all. The Telegram does not go on and say that the negro ought to be totted differ ently at the north. It does not advise the northern merchants to admit the negro into their unions. It does not even suggest that the poor daiiey be allowed to drive a street car. "In ten years Ihave not seen the negro advance one step ic New York. He is itill a menial and his social status is below that the lowliest white man. He is never nominated ior ofliw. He can't rent a house' that a decent white man would live in. Ie is kept out of all first-class res taurants, bar-rooms and ho'cls and rarely..seeu in a firs-t-class theatre. Jle not only can't gtt a chair in a while man s barber shop but he can't get a position as a barber. But they call him "mister" and he can get a chair on Broadway and have his shoes shined by an Italian." . ' " , , t.- War With Vcnczoeln Over. Washixgtojc, Oct. S3.Sir Julian Pauncefort, British Am bassador, catted at the state de partment at 12 o'clock today for the purpose of presenting to Sec retary Olney certain propositions, which, if accepted by, the United States, will probably settle the Venezuelan controversy. Owing to this liiig cabinet day, Sir Julian and the secretary had only ten uiin utes' conference. The Ambassa dor Carried a- large roll of docu menu, which'he left lor the careful perusal of the secretary. It can be stated authoritatively that the propositions Sir Julian Pauncefort is authorized by the British foreign office to present to the state depart ment embrace both the Venezuelan boundary question and the qucs lion oi a general treaty between Great Britain and the United States thereby all future disputes will be ubmitted to arbitration The na ture of the proposals is such that it is believed the dispute over Yen ezucla is much nearer to final sola tiontban at any time since the trouble began. Trtttblla Old Krntaokv. CiJccmTi,0., Oct. 33. The insult to the Secretary of the Uni- ed States Treasury, Hon J.'G. Carlisle by men of his native state, s the leading topic of conversation irre. While accounts differ as to he decree of .brutality manifested oy those in the halt and on the start around the building there is no dispute as to the bitterness of feeling uiaaifcsUd. Secretary Car li&le was purposely detained in the hall by his friends in the hope that the outside crowd .would dispen e but as soon al Carlisle discovered that, he insisted on going out im mediately. Then a police escort was provided and by, main force a passage to the street was obtain ed. One man John Fogine, threw a lighted cigar in his . face, and stooped a if to pick tip" a more formidable missile. , He was promptly seized by ti e police, but was discharged, no one preferring THK lMSFliANUHlbEl) VOTES. It is not a very pleasant reflec tion to think that criminals hold the balance of political power in tins congressional district if per- milieu 10 vote. About eu per per cent of this vote is colored, and many ' of them " have registered and if permitted will cast' their balfot for Settle and McKinley Belowwegive the member of aisiranchised.in each county: Alamance 71. Caswell 43. - Durham 120. ' Granville 85. Guilford 287. Orange 88. ' Person 27. Rockingham'- 160. Stokes 94. Total 977. Since this list was made out there have probably been as many as fifty more : convictions which should be added making say 800 Republican votes enough to turn tho tide in a close election. e note that some districts have even a larger number of dis franchised, the county of Meck leubuig ulone having 579. There are figures enough to show thi importance of having a test of these fellows at every voting pre uiuct in the state. Iu this connection there is another question not yet settled to the satisfaction of the public, namely; whether ooflege students laveariglit to vofe when they are attending college. The av thorities are respectfully requested to make stine dif.uit? publication as to the matter. , Filibuster Caught. Jacksonville, Flo., Oct. 22. The famous steamer Dauntless and her- tender, the sidewheel steamer R. L. Maey, were cap tured early yesterday morning off New Smyrna bar br the steam enmer Kaleieh. The)! Raleigh spied the Dauntless coming.up from the south an hour before sunrise. The tug turned about and ran, but tht swift cruiser soon overbaulted and .took her in tow. The Dauntless at the time was mak ing for New Smyrna to meet the Uabey for coal and supplies. The Dauntless had no arms or arnqnition aboard, but after be ing coaled, it is said, the Daunt let j intended to proceed south to 4 "Cuban storehouse" some where among the Keys in the lower portion of the state, to take on arms and men for a third expedition. A special from. New Smyrna gives this graphic account of the chatte of the Mabey. Mark IIakxa's attempt to keep the price of wheat until the election has failed. Prices have ''flunked" five cents in the bushel. Pocsibly part of his d.-gin had to be sent to rth Carolina. , The first thing the United States cruiser Kaleigb did aftci North Carolina presented her with a silver punch bowl, was to shoot solid shot at the Cuban filibuster, the Dauntless, and capture her off St. Augustine. She wasn't given the. bowl for that purpose.

Highest of all in Leavening PdMili:B Absolutely puce Honored Crisp's Memory. ATLANTA, Ua., UCL 24. i housands of devoted Georgians looked today for ' the last time upon the face of the late ex-Speaker Charles' Frederick Criso, as his remains lay in state in the dome, of the' capital. , From ii o'clock thife morning until 9 to night the people of Atlanta and representative citizens-from other parts of the state, in slow proces sion passed the, casket in the ro tunda. 1 The escort accompanvir.2 the body left the sanitarium, where Judge Crisp died at 10:30. Four white liooses drew the funeral car, which was followed by hun dreds, of sorrowing friends. Gov ernor W. Y. Atkinson and ex- GoVernor W.J. Northen followed the hearse, and behind them were state and city officials, military and private citizens. W hen the casket was placed 111 the capital rotunda, the dais was overed with beautiful flowers. The casket'e lid was thrown back and through the glass could be seen the calm feature of the dead. At 9 o'clock the capital doors were closed to the publicand only the soldiers retained. Governor Atkinson and an honorary escort, appointed from thegenera! assem- Dly, will accompany the body to morrow to Americas, judge Crisp's late home, where the bu rial services wUl be held." Washington', Oct. 24. The only recognition of the dc .h of ex-Speaker Crisp at the capital was due to the thoughtfulness of Mrs. Oates, daughter of Repre sentative Bankhcad, of Alabama. She came to the capital earlv this morning and draped Judge Crisp's picture in the group of portraits of ex-speakers in the corridor lack of the speaker's chair, j with iiiuuiuiiij; iicpc. FORTMONKOK, rA.,"Oct. 22. The board of inspection and survey arrived from Washington his morning and carried the battleship Massachusetts to sen 'or a final trial trip of forty fight hours. Sax Francisco, Oct. 22 A shipment of English sovereigns, value about $2,375,000, brought by the steamer Monawal, which arrived from Australia this morning, is consigned to the As sistant United States Treasurer for storage. The last shipment, a month ago, was valued at?l,- 500,000. ' $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn hat tt re is at least one dreaded disease that sconce has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Ca tarrb. .Hall's Catarrh cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraterni ty. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease, requires a co.jsti tutionat treatment. Hall's atarrh Cure is taken intern- illy, acting directly on the olood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength Oy building up the constitution and assisting 'nature in doing its work.

In the light of his own experi ence, Rev. Tom Dixon will doubt less bo able to amend and im prove his lecture on fools when ho gels through with his present canvass'. North Carolina is safe for Bryan. This is conceeded. and we should be thankful, but what are you fiing to do about Dan Tiussell dictatorship? Concentrate your votes gentlemen and let him keep on making rice. McKinley holds kingly court at Canton, and his worshipers make pilgrimages there to bow before his 'shrine, whila Bryan goes out in the highways and by ways and mixes with the people whom he would save at their homes. ' The cr ot the people is for Watson or Guthrie to come down no matter .which. It appears the farmer would gain much more credit for so doibg than the latter, whose party enen ies might accuse him of desertion in time of trou ble, while no such odium would attach to Mr. Watson. Accopino the census of 1800 there were in North Carolina 223, 307 white voters and 109.346 col ored, which gives a white major ity 'of 123,061. With these facts before them if the white people lcrmit the negro minority to rule them, they will have only their own bullheadness to blame, and wuI get but littlo sympathy. The Moses Cone Company, New York, has sent quite a quan tity of gold bug literature, con taining all sorts of falsehoods and forced deductions here to Durham to be distributed among the labor ing men for the purpose xf de ceiving and misleading them,. One man who received a package of this rot distributed it int properly in a hot stove. Teter Ctior-ER, acknowledged as one of the ablest financier of this century, said in a speech d livercd iu 187C: f"The rich of the world are wedded to gold, The poor to silver. It is to the it.ter. est of tht rich and moneyed kings to demonetise silver; and make gold the sole currency, becauw they own the gold " This h a fact it will be well for tho poor to re member on election day. The Recorder has done what it' could in its public way to get the tax paying jtatriots of North ( r i!:ra together jn this election. That our efforts are seemingly without avail is not our fault.
