Populism and Republicanism Fnf and the Two are One: ISy Their Fruit Y'e Shall Know them: Iet the Man Who Formulated Fusion, Marion Uutler, Change the Name of His Paper from the Caucasian to The Kthiopian.. So the notorious Abe Middle ton, the odious negro bribe-taker of Duplin county, Major H. L. Grant's ' henchmau. in the late campaign, is elected assistant doorkeeper of the North Caro lina House of Representatives, under the RepuLlico-Populist-Fusion proceedings of that body, as will be seen from our special report of yesterday's proceed ings of the Legislature. And it has come to this pass in North Carolina, that old, broken soldiers of the Confederacy, who have filled this place for years under recurring Democratic leg islatures, are stood aside, be they Democrats or Populists, and this burly, billigerent, bribe-taking negro, is elected in their stead, whom his own race do not re spect, whom noone has any confi dence in, and who is known as a political juggler. He is elected: and the old soldier, who with arm less sleeve or shattered limb has been wont to stand sentinel in this house of his fathers, is told to go; he who in the meridian of manhood, or, perhaps, in the first flushing dawn of a promis ing youth, offered his life a will ing sacrifice for the prestige of principle and the honor of North Carolina, and going forth to bat tle where "brave men faced death and heroes fell" received wounds that have caused him to measure all the rolling years between by pulse beats of pain and weary days of want. And this is the work of Fusion ! My God, my countrymen! And this is the fruits of Marion Butler's "co-operative" scheme! Well, he should proceed, forth with, to change the name of his "paper from the Caucasian to the Etlteopion. TO AMEND OI K CHARTKli. The Printing Hill up Again: A Motion to Klect a President Pro tern laiil on the Table. To Create Another County. Other hills Introduced. Special Augus Telegram. SENATE. Raleigh, Jan. 12. In the Senate to-day the prin cipal bills introduced were to tax prisoners with costs in criminal causes; to amend the charter of Goldsboro. A resolution urging representatives in Congress to secure the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on State banks and the repeal of the internal revenue laws was introduced. All the committees were announced. Senator Grant is chairman of that on education. The public printing bill which was passed yesterday was taken up, and there was a long discus sion. Some members who yester day voted for the bill, which was to repeal the act of the last Leg islature, said they did not under stand it. Efforts were made to secure a recall of the bill but failed. The vote was 36 to 14.' Rice, Republican, made a mo tion to elect a president pro tern. Another discussion arose. Ad ams, Democrat, declared that it was improper to do this while the president was in the chair. A motion to table Rice's motion was adopted. 37 to 6. HOUSE. In the House Mr. Ewart de nied that the committee on elec tions was using undue haste in its work. Among bills introduced the chief were to create the county of Scotland out of part of Rich mond. To repeal ihe election, law. To provide for a code commis sion of three, and a new code. To protect persons holding first class tickets on railways. To provide for the better drainage of Walnut creek. An effort was made to pass the Senate bill to repeal the public printing bill, but it failed and the matter was made a special order for Monday. The committee of fifteen on elections was announced with French, of , New Hanover, as chairman. Lusk is chairman of the Ju diciary committee. ttotiedule B and O Taxes.

SENATE. . 12 o'clock to-day Lieutenant Gov ernorDoughton called the Senate to order and announced that Sen ators holding certificates should come forward and qualify, and immediately there was a general stir and a rotating movement of members-elect towards the presi dent's desk. The gratifying ceremony be ing over, the election of officers was taken up and nominations called for. The Democrats, as a matter of form, nominated their choice for the offices, but the Rep-Pop-Fusion caucus nomi nees carried the day, of course as follows: Chief Clerk; W. G. fturkhead ana Hill E. King nominated; King elected. Heading Clerk, Spencer Black burn and Wiley Rush nominated; Blackburn elected. Doorkeeper, T. N. and N. V. Clifton Halliburton nominated; Halliburton elected. Assistant Doorkeeper, D. Matthe son and W. Batt nominated; Batt elected. Engrossing Clerk, A. D. K. Wal lace and H. S. Blair nominated; Wallace elected. On motion a message was sent to the House notifying that body that the Senate was duly organ ized. On motion a committee was appointed to act with a like com mittee of the House to wait upon the Governor and inform him that the General Assembly was duly organized. The Senate then adjourned till 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. HOUSE. The House met sharp at noon, and principal clerk J. M. Brown, of the last House, called it to order. Rev. D. H. Tuttle, of Raleigh, offered the opening prayer. Members were then sworn in. Every one of the 120 was pres ent, but five failed to bring their certificates. These were sworn in after those with certificates had taken the oaths, which were administered by Associate-Justice Walter Clarke. Several no tices of contest were given. After the members had been sworn in the roll was called. It was 1 o'clock when the election of speaker was taken up. Virgil S. Lusk was put in nomi nation in behalf of the "co-operation caucus," and Zeb Vance Walser on the part of the Re publicans. " Lusk made quite a speech in which he told all about fusion, why it was effected, etc. R. B. Peebles, of Halifax, nom inated J. F. Ray, Democrat, from Macon. The vote was then tak en and resulted: Walser 72, Ray 43. Walser, voted for Lusk. He made a brief speech in assuming the duties of speaker. The House then took up the election of other officers, Lusk making all nominations in behalf of the fusionists. L. P. Satterfield, Populist, of Person, defeated J. M. Brown, Democrat, for principal clerk; and John W. Chapin, Republican of Beaufort county, defeated H. A. Latham, Democrat, for Read ing clerk. The election of other officers and assistants was proceeded with and resulted as follows: Clerks, J. M. McDuffie, E. D. SanfordandJ. R. Hancock. Engrossing Clerk, E. P.Hauser. Doorkeeper, A. J. Moye, of Pitt, with Abe R. Middleton, of Dup lin, as his assistant. It was agreed that the Rep-Pop-Fusionists shall divide all committees just as they have di vided all the offices. The rules of the last House were adopted, save the rule which requires two-thirds as a majority yote; which was reject ed and the bare majority rule adopted. SECOND DAY. At 11 o'clock Lieutenant-Governor Doughton called the Sen ate to order and Rev. H. W. Norris, of Wake, offered prayer. The rules of the last Senate were read and adopted. Senators Rice, Hamwick and Adams were appointed a committee on rules. Senator Abell, of Johnston, introduced the first bill. It is to make 6 per cent, the legal rate of interest. Senator Mew borne introduced a bill, which, tinder a suspension of the rules, passed its readings to repeal the act of 1893 which amended the charter of the Farmers' Alliance. The Senator, in replying to a query, said that the last Legislature had tam- pered with the Alliance charter and that this was to undo what it had done. There was notice by Grant and Padderson of cotest of the election of Senators Aycock and Smith, of Wayne, and Duplin. Senator Cook said that as it seemed that the contestants had received a majority of the votes cast they should be seated, and made a motion to that effect, which was adopted, and Grant and Padderson were accordingly sworn in. The House met at noon, Speaker Walser in the chair, and the opening prayer was offered by Mr. Smith, member from Cleveland. The attendance of members was large, but the at tendance in the lobbies and the gallery was smaller than on yes terday. Messrs. Duffy, of On slow and McLean of Richmond were sworn in as members. At 11.50 Private Secretary Telfair appeared with the Gov ernor's message, a lengthy docu ment of 75 type-written pages, and its reading began at once, and was finished at 1.30. It certainly makes a very fine showing for the State. The Governor gives the Legislators some excellent advice, naming in the plainest manner the evils of partisan Legislation and of the inadvisability of in any way changing the system, etc., of the various public institutions, which for many years the Demo crats have so well sustained and developed. Most of the message is devoted to a summary of reports. The finances are shown to be in a healthful condition, with J?113, 531 cash balance on hand, Nov, 30, 1894. The estimated ex penses for 1895 are $860,400 and the same forl89G,less$63,000, the expenses of the Legislature. The present tax levy upon the as sessment of last year will yield only $815,000. Under the funding act of 1879 3,382,800 in 4 per cent bonds have been issued in exchange for the old recognized debt of the State. There are still bonds outstanding which will require a further issue of $292,0 0 of 4 per cent bonds, making a total pos- i sible debt of $3,615,770. The State owns as an investment $136,850 of these bonds, and the board of education owns $153, -250. The North Carolina rail way six per cent construction bonds, amounting to $2,720,000, are secured by the State's three fourths interest in thi road, the dividends from which are more than ample to meet the interest. The Governor pays a high trib ute to Col. Tate, the retiring treasurer. The Governor asks that special attention be paid the Auditor's recommendation of equalization of taxes. The State taxes were last year $l,358,944f the county taxes $1,058,941; total, $2,417, 935 or $1.44 per capita. The increase of the pension tax to 4i cents on the $100 is rec ommended, as this will give the full quota of pensions allowed by law. The present levy is, 3 cents and it will produce this year $111,390. One half the counties have no debts. The total indebtedness of the people is only 1.25 of the tax able yalue of property. The ta; rate is lower than in any other State of the union. It shows con clusively that the party intrusted with public affairs has given to the people such a State govern ment tha t the light of prosperity from onerous taxation is dawn ing in North Carolina. The recommendations of the attorney general as to slander, trusts and lynchings are en dorsed. Solicitors ought to be salaried officers. The treasurer has collected the State taxes, save a small amount from Madi son county, A levy of 22 instead of 16 cents, school taxes is hear tily recommended, as this will enable the public schools to be kept open 4 months yearly. An increase for the three insane asylums is recommended. The State white orphan asylum at Oxford received during the past two years $21,612, ofewhich $10. 000 was from the Stale; the col ored orphan asylum there $5,367, of which $1,500 was from the State. The Atlanta exposition is heat tily endorsed, and an appropria tion for an exhibit there is spe cially recommended. Participa tion in the Baltimore exposition of 1897 is also recommended. Eighty per cent of the convicts have been employed at farming. There are 8 ,600 acres under culti vation. The utilization cf some of the convicts in making clothing, shoes, etc., for the inmates of the various institutions is recom mended. The tost to the State of the penitentiary has been only $12,500 for each of the past 2 years. This money was expended by reason of losses by the floods of 1893, to purchase horses and mules and to equip the farms. With this exception the peniten tiary has been , self -sustaining. Tue purchase of the farms now leased is recommended. A Re formatory for youthful criminals is urgently recommended. The Governor urges that the Legisla ture repeal the act giving the North Carolina railway immu nity from taxation so it will bear its portion of the public burdens. The number of pardons granted during the past two years were 77, commutations 9, reprieves 5. Of the pardons 45 were from the penitentiary. The work of the geological survey is declared to have been excellently done. It will publish 1,000 pages of re ports this year. The Governor makes a plea for good roads. He says the shell fish commission has been unable to enforce" the oyster law, as it had no funds and North Cat olinians have de fiantly violated the laws by dredging for oysters. The pre sent oyster law is a failure. In conclusion tre Governor says to the Legislature: "The past history of a clear, success ful State government, free from reckless expenditures, honest in administration and economical in expenditures is behind you, a part of the record of the party which now hands over to you the future administration of the State so far as it pertains to the expenditures and economics." Six hundred copies of the mes sage were ordered printed. Notices were given of five con tests for seats, from Pamlico, Halifax and Edgecombe. Secretary of State Coke sent a letter to the Speaker announc ing that he was ready to exhibit all the bids for the public print ing under the new law. The first bills of the session were introduced. The chief of these were: By French, to repeal the pres ent election law. By Ewart, to repeal the pres ent county government law. By Winborne, to make 6 per cent, the legal rate of interest. Committees were announced as follows: Rules French, chairman. Privileges and Elections Ew art. chairman. "WANTON USURPATION RUNS RIOT AT KALKUJH. THIRD DAY. At 10 o'clock the Senate met. Among the bills introduced the principal were to make the legal rate of interest 5 per cent, to al low Bertie county to work con victs on a farm; to amend the election law. A novel thing was done, and a thing which is declared to be without precedent. This was the appointment of a committee of three which is to make all- ap pointments of committees, tak iog away from the president of the Senate the right to appoint. Republican Senator Rice and Populist Senator Hamrick were, on motion of Senator Frank, named as members of the com mittees, and the president was given power to appoint one member. He named Senator Adams. When this committee reported Senator Adams filed a protest. Senator Dowd also op posed such action, but the re port, which was made by Sena tors Rice and Hamrick, the ma jority, was adopted. , Another step which was a sur prise to the Democrats was taken, this being the repeal of the bill passed at the last ses sion. , J - The State Treasurer way by resolution asked to give informa tion as to appropriations made to the University and the Normal and Industrial school, A. and M. college &c. . HOUSE. At 11 o'clock the House met. The committee on privileges and elections met and gave notice that it had set the time for hear ing v the various contests for seats. It was allowed a steno grapher. Mr. Peebles offered a ' resolu tion' instructing Senators and Representatives in Congress to vote for free coinage, 16 to 1; a better distribution of the circu lating medium .and the passage of an act allowing State banks to issue bills. Among the bills introduced were the following: To make the public school tax 22 cents, instead of 16; to allow the Mur fr.eesboro railway to extend its line to the Chowan river; to in corporate the Carolina Mental fire insurance company of Char lotte, Mr. Ewart's bill to repeal county government was ordered printed. A bill to repeal the act of 1893 in regard to the business fund of the N. C. Farmers' Alliance, passed by a unanimous vote, after some debate, in which, mem bers on the fusion side declared the action of the 'Legislature of 1893 to be diabolical. This lan guage was sharply resentedby Ray, Democrat, from Macon. Speeches were made by French, of New Hanover, and Young, of Wake, in support of the bill. NORTHERN COTTON MILLS. MOVING TO ESTABLISH PLANTS IN THE SOUTH. Three of the Largest Kgtahlixhments in Lowell, Mast., Kngageil in the Enter prise: Reasons Given for Making the Change. With the announcement that the Merrimac, the largest cotton manufacturing company in Low ell, Mass., in addition to other concerns which have been men tioned, is to have a Southern plant, the interest in that city in the Southern movement is said to have reached a high pitch This makes three of the largest establishments in that city to join the movement, and besides the fact that the capitalists are following it with curiosity, the labor element is inclined to be anxious. The elements in the problem are thus set forth by Elliott Clarke, treasurer, and Mr. A. C. Culnock, of the Boot mills. "The fact," said Mr. Clark, "that we can no longer manufacture plain sheetings and drills at a profit in the north. Against two dollars per ton for coal in the South we must pay $4 to $4.50. The cli mate made down there is milder, and it does not require so much coal to heat the mills. The man ufactures there can buy their cotton off the market wagon. Here we must pay freight and brokerage, giving them an ad vantage of one cent per pound on the raw cotton, which by it self is a fair profit for a mill making course yard goods- The labor, too, costs 60 per cent, of what it does here, and down there the taxation is not quite one half what it is in Lowell. "These are some of the main reasons why we cannot manufac ture the sheeting and drilling in the North in competition with the South, With the Dwight and Massachusetts companies we are compeled to seek a more favora b'e location for making these goods." Speaking of the labor element, Mr. Culnock said: "About fiye years ago, the last time we com pared our weavers wages with those on similar work in the South, I found there were many important things discriminating against us. Our weavers worked ten hours a day, or sixty hours a week, and averaged about $1.15 a day in wagesl In the South they worked seventy-two hours per week and got about 60 to 70 cents a day. In other words, the Southern manufacturer paid 5 to 6 cents per hour, we paid 10 to 11. I believe that they are now running 69 hours a week, against our 53 hours. "To offset these inequities we havechanged over about one half of our plant to the produc tion of a finer class of goods goods with fancy weaves in which the price of raw cotton does not enter so much into the cost of production that it con trols the price. These fine goods sell higher, and therefore allows us to pay living wages. On the same subject Mr. Clark said: "The labor there, while cheap, is of a very fine quality. All the female help in the mills down there are farmers daughters, who are glad to work for small wages, which seem large to them, as they are not so accustomed to money as we are here. As the negroes do not work in the cotton mills down there, the white people are quite willing to take up that form of work. Those Southern girls are strong, quick to learn, and glad to be in the way of earning some money. 4 Mr. Culnock added that he thought New England had seen its best days as a manufacturing centre. Lowell had waterpower and that is all, but the mills are mostlv run bv steam power. All the additional machinery put in,' Mr.Cullnock said, since the water power was exhausted, has had to be run by coal, which is brought here in sailing vessels from Ir'enn sylvania and Maryland, and with the freight to Lowell, makes the fuel very expensive. This with the cheap cotton and cheap labor in the South, turns the tide in favor of the South on plain goods. Jos. S. Ludlow agent of the Merrimac mills said to-day: "We have as yet no site selected, but we want to be in a position to do that sort of thing if we find we have to. We are at a great disadvantage here in every de partment, but especially in our print works, in consequence of the big cost of coal. Fall River and New Bedford are growing with steam mills, because they get their coal for more then $1 less a ton than we do. We are already manufacturing only the finer grades of cloth in our mills here Labor - is cheaper in the South, because the supply is greater, and the hours longer, while these is an immense ca pacity for the manufacturer of coarse'goods." , No morphine or opium in Dr. Miles' t aim nut vjcas &u fain, une cent a aoee.- TUK DAY SKT. It Will be Satmday, the 10th, When the Vance Kulo g es Will he Heard n the U. S. Senate: Jarvis Will Not Speak: All Await Ransom's Tribute: The fate of Finance. Argus Buueau, ) Washington, D. C., Jan. 11. j The defeat of the rule provid ing for a vote on the financial measure seems to almost every body a conclusion of the whole matter for this Congress. But Secretary Carlisle and Mr. Springer are determined to try again. A bill is therefore in incubation that will be presented in a fortnight or so, which will be framed differently. Its pro visions are not yet defined, but it is known that there will be a day to the silverites. One thing is known positively there will be no free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. This indicates that there may be free coinage at a higher ratio. Senator Ransom, in a haud some speech resigned, to-day, the Presidency pro tern of the Senate, to which he was elected pending the absence of Senator Harris, the latter having return ed. The Senate then elected tl e Tennessee Senator a grandson of North Carolina to his former position and complimented the Senator from North Carolina by resolution, for the manrer in which he had filled the office. Stronger efforts are to be made to stop moonshining. The Southern Baptist Conven tion, which meets in Calvary Church, Washington, May 10, will have among its prominent delegates Rev. R. Van Deventis, of Henderson, Rev. A. G, Mc Manaway, of Charlotte, and Rev. M. L. Kessler, of Raleigh. The eulogies on the late Sena tor Vance will be delivered in the Senate, Senator Ransom an nounced to-day, on Saturday the 19th, instead of Thursday the 17th, as heretofore announced. Senator Jarvis states that as he is Senator Vance's immediate successor he will not make an address; besides, he has already delivered one eulogy in this city on the lamented Vance.- tie will take part, however, in the cere monies in the Senate chamber. The Houise will fix a dav for the eulogies after the Senate has acted. I have positive information from two sources entitled to re spect that the Conservatives and Republicans in South Carolina will fuse on the election m Au- lst to the State constitutional convention. Three appropriation bills have passed the House in the past two days. The election of Zeb Vance Walser to the- speakership was expected here. He is reported by some of our Democratic mem bers, as conservative in his ten dencies. Representative Woodard has secured the appointment of Mr. Lucius Green, of Halifax, to a place in the Treasury Depart ment, not Government Printing Office, as I was informed. The pooling bill will be re ported favorably next Tuesday in the Senate. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Hill, of Warsaw, who have been here since Monday will return home to-day. - .... - CASH DOWN.

IIOI.TON, MOTT, SETTLE, BOYD COMBINE. Pritchard "t. in a Good Humor Raleigh Druggists Summoned Before the Grand Jury Another Wreck on the Seaboard Air Line Majority of Senators Opposed to the University Appropriation Confederate Monument to he Un veiled Before Spring Another Daily in Raleigh The Perry Mur der Trial. Argus Bureau, Raleigh, Jan. 12, 1895. Yesterday several prominent Raleigh druggists were sum moned before the grand jury to testify as to gambling in their stores. To-day the "rand iurv brought in true bills for several of them. The gambling con sisted in the druggists allowing raffles and rattiing off articles in their stores just before the Christmas holidays. The drug gists and their friends are very much wrought up over the affair and denounce in strongest terms the party or parties, iwho are unknown who brought the mat ter to the attention of the grand jury. Editor J. W. Bailey, of the iblical Recorder, tells me that a canvass of the Senate has been made on the question of State aid to higher educational institutions and in regard to the temperance movement which I informed you of a day or so ago. He says that the cauvass discloses the fact that a majority of senators are opposed to the appropriation to the University and that a much arger percentage than would have been supposed were in favor of temperance legislation. The work of placing the gran ite for the Confederate monu ment, prepartory to setting up the shaft, is being rapidly push ed. The unyeiling of the monu ment, from the present indica tions, will take place before spring. Where is the "conservative egislature" about which so much was heard a month ago? The taking away of the Senate presi dent's power aud the repeal of the State printing bill, one ot the most conservative measures ever introduced, looks very unlike conservatism. A small town near Raleigh, Rolesville, is in a great state of excitement over the action of a crowd of citizens in shutting up the school house there. It seems that the Democratic school com mittee elected a lady as school teacher. The town, Populistic in every way, wished a Populist elected. The other day the school house was found closed and nailed up. The matter was brought before a magistrate who, of course, sustained the commit tee's action. To-day in Superior Court, the Perry murder trial came up. It promises to be a very sensational one. Jb rom tne testimony to-aay it appears taat the murder was one of the most coid-blooded ever committed, Perry came to Tom Bailey's house on April 17th and called out to him to come out as he wished to speak to him. When Bailey came out Perry said, "I have come to kill or be killed, G d n you." He then com menced slashing Baiiey with a knife. Bailey turned and ran to the house for his gun, Perry slashing him at every step in the neck or stabbing him in the back. Bailey got his gun and tried to shoot Perry, but was so weak that he fell', the gun exploding as he did so. The motive for the murder was a most childish one, Bailey having told his children not to visit Perry s house. Perrv fled and eluded arrest for several months. He was finally captured in Durham after a hard fight with th oflicer mak ing the arrest. He was brought here and was to have been tried at thelast term of court, but the trial was postponed. He will, in all probability be convicted. It was a touching sight to see his little innocent, girl baby sitting on her murderous father s knee forwbom she evidenlly enter tains great affection.
