The resolution offured by Air. Halo I
011 the 12:.n of Deeember-for a scleeL !
cohjmitteao examine fully into ibe
present cogdi.ion of ttlie civil Kerviee
was taken ip, and Mf. Hale addressed
tho Seiiiiie-in explanation and advo
cacy of if, N
He declavtd that his object in
offering it was to Fetnire au investi
gation with the tiu'eere purpose of
bringing before Confess the present
actual condition of the, civil service
of the country and also the perform
anees of certain high and low officials
of the government. Mr. Hale charged
President Cleveland Jwith insincerity
in his, pu'ulis utterance0, in favor of
civil ,'servico reform, and accused him
of leaving violated all his personal
pletjges ani those eipbodied in his
party's platform oa tris subject. He
quoted froiii a table published last
June, showing the sleeping changes
that bad already taken place: in all
the depn.rJnrents of ihe public ser
vice among cflioials- subject to execu
tive action, and said he hoped to have
in a few day's a further table showing
how this conquering march of tbe
Democratic-; party in pursuit of
office bad J continued down to
the" beginning . , of? thfs year.
This showing, be sail, was uuexim
pled in any other administration in
American history. Mr, Hale etiticiEed
the Preident's lettersj written duriug
thejrecen'c pplitical campaign in New
York city, ttiat to El Ward Cooper, in
which he said the newspaper clip
pings wiiicu had been uut him by
Mr.iCooper Aid not amount to enough
to rfcise a dOubt. of bi. desire for the
success of bdtb the city and State tick
ets f the united Demcicracy, aud that
read at the: Democratic ratiiication
meeting regretting lib (Cleveland's)
inability to be presenl, aud express
ing the h' pe that every candidate on
tbe excellent" ticket of;the united De
mocracy might be; triumphautly
elected. ; t
Passing on io the subject of political
assessments, pdr. Hale- quoted from
tLe j Washington 1'os't ( .vbich be
spoke of as orgab pf the adminis
tration) of the first of November last
in regard to the collection of contri
butions for the New Tork campaign
and also a communication in tho
Wastington iJfepudu'an describing
how -assessments for that campaign
were being leVied in tljie government
printing offic0. From!' all thio, be
said;' something ought now to be
plainly seen by every 'man who was
not stone blind. The value of tbe
cry Of civil 6eivice reform had ceased
to bS of any s imatiotf in the minds
of the leaders' of the Democratic par
ty. !Tho old methods, be said, would
prevail. This year the, land would
rock with efforts ; on behalf
of -Presidential candidates. He
affirmed hjs belief and ventured
the prediction that no means and no
appliances that had been in years
pastused by the Democratic party
would fail to be resorted .to this year.
Intimidation, outrage, .murder, (if
needed) would open again the bloody
grave iu whiftb would be interred
anew the f?e- ballot of the South.
'The thing whictf has been, is
the thing which wiil be, and there
will be found ho new trjing under the
sun.'! The insane and appliances and
practices of ibe Democratic party
would all be Resorted to in its des
perate attempt to retain its hold of
the national 1 government. Iu the
meantime where would the lade
pen Tents be .' .'
Mr. Halo's Speech attracted great
and fluusual Ittcntionjin the Senate
chamber, but-; few of;tbe seats on
either side being vacant during its
dtlivfcry, whicli occupied about two
hour? and a half. At-its conclusion
Mr. Butler sejnt to' .the clerk's desk
and Bad read Ja circular sent out in
1878; 'by authority of 'j,ho republican
Congressioualj committee (of which
Mr. Halo wasa member), calling on
government eniployaea for political
contributipps.'!' Mr. Hle jutitied tLe
circular ami said that it directly and
explicitly excluded theidea of extort
ing: contributions.

said 1 it was evident that 'he

HOUSE.
: The Speaker, as (irst business in
order, proceeded to call the commit
tees, but no reports f any character
were submitted. The Houe then,
on motion tf Mr. Mill?, of Texas,
went iato committee of ho whole (Mr.
McCreary, of Kentucky, in the chair)
upon the state of the Union for the con
sideratiou of the President's message.
Mr. Mills offered a resolution refer
ring the message to tho committee oa
ways and mean3. The resolution was
Hgreed to. aud the eommittce having
ticn, its actiou waa confirmed by the
House.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, offered a
resolution gninting the commirtee on
Ti ri i tori, s authority to have printed
pap"is b aving upon tbe subject of its
jurisdiet lo;i. Yariojs amendments
were off' red extending the same priv
ilege to other comuiittce3 aud ini or
der to cut off these amendments, Mr.
Springer demanded the previous
qijesti-.ni. but tho republicans opposed
tire deui :ud and befbg in the majori
ty, the demand was not sustained.
Odter aiuciidmeuts were then offered,
but upon motion of Mr. Randall, of
1'ennsyl v.inijv, the whole subject' was
referred Uj the rommitticoa printing.
Mr. Randall. from the com
mittee on appropriations, re
; orted a resolution calling
en .tho Secretary of the Treasury for
r- schedule of all claims allowed by
accounting officers of the treasury
under appropriation?, tbe balances of
which have been c-xbausted or carried
i-.tp tho ,iur)Ius fund under the pro
v:sions of the wl of June 20, 1874.
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, in speak
ing to the resolution, laid down the
general proposition that Congiess
should make anticipatory appropria
tions for the payment of claims, and
Mr, Reed, of Maine, inquired whether
Mr. Randall would permit the House
to vote upon the proposition to make
bach appropriations. Mr.Raudall dis
claimed iy power to prevent tho
vote being taken, a disclaimer which
I1.1I iiitl-i weight with Mr. Reed, who
gave it a 3 his experience that the gen
tleman from Pennsylvania often had
power to prevent. votes being taken.
Tho resolution waa adopted and the
House went into committee, (Mr. Cox,
of New York, in the chair,) oa the
Liittlo deficiency bill.
Mr. Bijinee, of Missouri, in charge
of the bi;!. made a tttatoment in re
gard to the failure of the deficiency
bill in tbe last pension of the 49tb
Congress, owing to ti e fact that it
was not laid before the President in
time to receive bis signature. At bat
time tbe committeo on conference
bad agreed upon a report and that
report had been substantially followed
out in tho pending bill. He hoped
that unless there was a case of ex
treme urgency presented, no one
would attempt to engraft upon the
bill any thing which could be post
poned until the urgent deficiency bill
was reported to the House, which
would be in the course of ten days.
Mr. Cannon, of Iiliuoip, also stated
that the committee on appropriations
had taken the conference report of
laat . Congress -as the basis of the
present measure, and be hoped that
it would be passed and passed speed
ily, substantially as it wa, thus giv
ing to tbe creditors of the government
the poor pittance to which they were
entitled.
The debate upon the bill assumed
r. pohticaleharacter, the Republicans
assailing the appropriations commit
tee of tbe last House for their dila
tory action in regard to all appropri
ation bills; and the deficiency bill in
particular. Mr. Randall was the prin
cipal speaker in defence of the last
appropriations committee. In refer
ence to tbe failure of , last year's de
ficiency appropriation bill he stated
that it had been due in part to the
fact that the House conferees had
stood against the payment of the Pa
cific R. R. claims. The bill failed be
cause these two claims could not be
forced through on the back
of the Koldicra' claims, and be com
mended tho House conferees for their
action. Referring to a remark of Mr.
Ileijderson'f, he said that be had be
come quite used to the frequent
scoldings which the committee on ap
propriations received, and had be
come quite patient under them, but
he felt it to bo bis duty to say that
tie hsul ii6er known of the committee
retarding appropriation bills through
uiv iniiitoper motive. It had been
j said tlud appropriation bills had been
I held buck to prevent tbe considera
j tiou of revenue bills. This he denied.
the iyason revenue measures had not
j been eoii.Jdeied had been that they
bad not bal a majcrity of
l bo. 1 House in their favor,
i TLe cjominittoe on appropriations was
not to blame for that. He had made
this stidement before but he wished
to repeat deliberately that at no time
yen hm bis cxper.ence had any lm
pri per motive c mt rolled the man?
agi ment of an appropriation bill. The
prevision of the bill that no part of
any appropriation made for the judi
ciil ex'peLses of the United States
i-h .11 be paid to any civil officer who
ha 4 neglected to make his emolument
ie urn in such manner as the Attor;
1 0 , General shall direct was stricken
out oil a point of order. An amend
ment was adopted appropriating
100,0 ) ) for tb! payment of judg
ments and awards against the United
States on account of damages caused
by reason of the improvement of the
Fox and Wisconsin rivers.
Without further amendment or
committee reference the bill was
passed and the House at 4.30 adjourned.

A Srrioni Fire.
Chicago, Jan. llAfter the fire
men thought the lire at the corner of
luauiBuu street ana. tne river was
under control this mOrning, a section
of the roof caved in and crashed
through all the fljojrs: The flames
shot downward: and in au instant tbe
entire stocks On the first floor were
all ablazo. This floor, with its valua
ble stocks of silks and cost
ly merchandise, ;was gutted,
involving a I further loss of
upward of $70,000. The firms burnt
out of the first iioor were J. H. Grif
fith Co., importers of tailors' trim
mings; the Nonatume'Worpted Com
pany; Nonotuck Silk! Company and
the Corticell Spool: Silk Company.
An assistant fire marshal places tbe
Iofs cn the building and contents at
nearly 175,009. The fire is now
under control,
Tbe total loss by the fire will reach
$200,000.The night was intensely cold.
The firemen were greatly hampered
by heavy coatings of iCe which reu
dered their movements slow and it
seemed almost hours before they
fairly began to work. : A high wind
prevailing prevented solid streams of
water from reaching above the second
floor, and this had considerable to do
with the spread of the flames upon the
upper floors. After two hours' hard
fight, however, the flames were con
sidered under control. Several of
the firemen were completely over
come by the dreadful exposure and
were carried into the Gait House to
be thawed out. Their garments were
covered with ice. several inches thick
and were so thick and clumsy as to
render movement well nigb impos
sible. Trouble Between Labor Organization
CincAoo, Jan. 11. The trouble be
tween the house-painters and hard
wood finishers, which Mr. Barry of
the executive board of the K. of L.
was sent to Chicago to investigate, is
assuming such an acute form that a
6trike is not improbable. The strike
would be by one; labor organization
against another, the painters wishing
to drive the hard wood finishers out
of business. The question of nation
ality also enters into the fight, inas
much aa most of the furniture workers,
including the hartlwooi finishers, are
Germans or Scandinavians, while the
others are Irislu Tbe painters want
to do all the hardwood; finishing on
buildings aud to confina the members
of the hard wood finishers' assembly
to furniture work in factories which
the painters ore not skilled enough
to do.

Thre Daring attempts ail Burglary.
Cjr. of the News and ObserTer;
Shelby, N. C, Jan. 10.
Three daring attemta at burglary
were made here last night, only one
of which proved successful. About
half past eight the residence of Mr.
H. B. Quinn, deputy collector of this
district was entered, but the burglar
was frightened away before he se
cured any thing. ' In the yard his
tracks could be Been. He had on a
new pair of rubber shoes, and wore a
number eight shoe. '
About half past eleven the Central
Hotel was entered, and the thief, tak
ing the lamp from the ball, went di
rectly to the porter's room on the
third floor. The porter bad
that day received, a sum of money
and it is supposed the burglar
knew thiB. The porter awoke just as
the thief had taken bold of bis pants.
The thief dropped the l$mp and ran
down stairs, escaping in the darkness.
All of tbe guests were asleep at the
time.
Later in the night the sleeping
apartment of Capt. John W. Clarke,
proprietor of the Commercial Hotel,
was entered and : about $25 were
stolen from the pocket of his pants.
Capt. Clarke's watch, which was on
the same chair with his test, was not
taken. Capt. Clarke's room is on the
first floor, jast in the rear o the par
lor. The front; door was opened,
as is always the Case, and so was
the door to the room The author
ities have a clue to the burglar
and he will probably ba arrested this
evening. It is thought that the same
man committed alii three) of th3 bur
glaries. ;
Rev. K. D. Mallory, late principal
of the Shelby Female College, left to
day for Griffin, Ga", where he will re
side in the future. - Mr. Mallory Las

Spirit of the Ntate Praia.
Judge Clark, some of our contem
poraries seem to think, has the inside
track, at this writing, for the Demo
cra'ic gubernatiorial nomination; but
Lieut. Gov. Stedman is still on his
legs and has a record for long dis
tance running. If our own Gilmer
should enter the race some chain
lightning would have to be used by
the nag that boat him Greensboro

It seems after all that the calico-
sex is to be given some privileges in
tho University. We learn that Bhe
will be permitted to t ake the teacher's
course, at least, if the question of
admitting her to the full course were
under discussion, and if it didn't
savor too much of slang, we should
be tempted to say, "Lst 'er go Galla
gher . H inston .Sentinel.
We had the pleasure of the com
pany 01 Judge Walter Clark from
Goldsboro as far as Ivinston during
Christmas week. Judge Clark is a
clever, sociable gentleman and an up
right, conscientious judge, and is, we
thmk, the most available man . we
have to run as tho Democratic candi
date for Governor. Ha has been and
is being prominently spoken of for
that place. We would take especial
pleasure in supporting a State ticket
with his name for Governor. Ain-
eton Jree fresa.
We democrats have much hard
work to do in North Carolina this
year, and it is high time we were up
and doing. There is more danger of
losing North Carolina than New York
and Indiana. The North is becoming
more democratic while some of the
Southern States are becoming ,
"squeamish" or doubtful boro
Jlecorder.
We do not pretend to say which of
the judges has the better of the ar
gument in a legal point of view, but
we do say that the intention of tbe
local option law was to embrace wine
and beer, and that we are heartily
glad that the Supreme Court has bo
established tbe law. We say further
that it would hafe been but dignified
and proper for Judge J. H. to have
remained silent after the decision.

A Murder In Iradeli County.
Cliarlolte Chronicle.
During the holidays a party of
three men went to the house of a
widow lady named Mrs. Sarah Bar
ker, in Union Grove, Iredell county,
and bombarded the residence with
rocks... They then fired into the house
and left. One of the shots struck the.
widow's son, Abe, in the bowels, pro
ducing a wound from which death
resulted a few days later. The coroner
held an inquest last Sunday morning
over the young man's body, but the
evidence was not sufficient to justify
the arrest of any particular individual.
Mrs. Barker is a widow lady about
75 years of age, and lived in a small
house with her only surviving child
ren, a son and daughter, and the
family was sustained by the industry
of the,son. He was an honest, hard
working fellow, and was about 30
years of age. What prompted the
outrage is not known. The widow
bears a good reputation and, though
she was poor, nothing was ever heard
against tbe good name of her family

Tne True Secret.
How is it about advertising?
Haven't the critics got us here Don't
we spread ourselves a little too vain
gloriously on paper and elsewhere,,
and have we not ways of our own
which we would not feel free to com
mend to others, and which on gener
al principles we can hardly commend
to ourselves I ask these questions in
all honesty, because I want to know.
I am myself an advertiser, and I be
lieve in advertising, and being a busi
ness man as well, I desire, to put my
money where it will do the most good.
There is one main purpose in adver
tising and that is to bring business,
but I do not think that any kind of
advertising which may bring business
is legitimate or even commendable on
that account alone. Oae pf the chief
advertisers of our specialty either
originated or adopted an aphorism
which covered his practices and
brought him large returns. This is
it; "The true secret of advertising is
to excita and not satisfy." S. S.

The Qnall-eatlng flumbmjr.
From t;e New Orleans Times-Democrat.
A leading New Y'ork physician, well
known not only as an able surgeon,
but an advanced scient'st, ridicules
the idea that it is at all difficult for
any one to eat a single or more quail
for any given number of days. He
says that game of any kind
may be eaten as a steady diet
just as well as can beef or pork.
He cites the fact that sailors eat
salt pork a pound a day for a thou
sand days and what, he adds, ia
worse than sailors' pork? During
his active connection with the army
in tbe West, many years ago, he ate
prairie chicken every day for months,
and was glad to get it, and subse
quently ate sage hens for a longtime,
and did not get sick or become nau
seated. He concludes by saying that
the mental disturbance caused by the
fear of not being able to eat a quail a'
day for a given time, on a wager, is
all that there is in tbe prevaibng idea
in not being able to do it. !
The Deficiency Bill.
The deficiency appropriation bill
in tbe House of Representatives is
one made necessary by the failure of
the deficiency bill of last year, mak
ing appropriations for deficiencies for
1887 and prior years. The bill appro
priates in all the sum of $2,951,303,
while the last bill, as agreed upon in
conference, carried a total appropria
tion of $4,275,023. Among the prin
cipal items omitted is one for about
a half million dollars on account of
postal deficieneiee, and another of
$260,000 for the navy that was not
included in the revised estimate. One
of the largest items of appropriation
is $500,000 for repayment to importers
of excessive dei osits in customs suits,
and another of $101,114 for army
transportation.
