There was a bitter debate in the House of Commons. Mr. Balfour quoted statistics to prove the de crease of crime in Ireland under co ercion, and reprobated '"the menda cious vituperation resorted to by certain members of the opposition." John Morley criticised Mr. Balfour's manipulation of the figures, and Ed ward Harrington called the speech "a choice sample of his mendacity." ihe expression was withdrawn under the command of the Speaker. A Mr. Herman Clark, who is de scribed by the New York Tribune as "a J hardheaded and practical" ' con tractor, has a gigantic scheme to give New York rapid transit. His plan is to construct a huge tunnel the whole length of Manhattan Island, 150 feet below the surface,' with branch tun nels under the North and East rivers. The fifteen miles of tunnel will cost, it is estimated, $30,000,000. Mr. Clark has built nineteen miles of he new aeque'duct, and is supposed to know what he is talking about. What is more to the point, he has promi nent capitalists, be saye, interested in the scheme.

The personal property of the dead siDger is valued at 40,630 A not el suit at law has been brought at Bloomington, Ind. It is an action for slander, in which the plaintiff, Abraham Donaldson, , asks for $5,000 damages against Samuel D. Noel. The case in a nutshell is this: "Jool is a member in good standing of an Odd Fellows' lodge in BlOomington, and brought serious charges against the character of Don aldson, who was an applicant for membership. It appears that some member of the lodge, in violation of the rules of the order, must have in formed Donaldson of what had taken place, and hence the suit. Prominent attorneys have been retained on both Bides, and before the case is ended it may prove of national importance, as it will settle whether or not, in a se cret order, persons making objections to members will be guilty of slander when they make specific charges be fore the lodge. Mr. Noel will insist that the charges in the complaint were not of a public nature, nor in tended to be so, but were in a secret order, made necessary as a matter of defense in such organizations, and but for some member having violated .the rules and obligations of the lodge they would not have been made pub lid.

Reiiyiu and Saulobury championed the department. The resolution went over without action. THE liLAIR BILL AGAIN. The Blair educational bill was then taken up as unfinished business aud Mr. Hawley addressed the Senate in opposition to it, discussing the de tails of the bill and commenting upon its requirement to report to the Sec retary of the Interior on the school system of each State. He said that the only response which tho Governor of Connecticut could give to such a demand was; "I have the honor to refer you to the history of this Com monwealth for the last 150 years to show you that it never has been in the habit of reporting to any one how we treat the people of this State." In summing up his argument Mr. Hawley said: '"In my judgment this bill glorious as the cause is, fasci nating as arguments in favor of edu- rcation always are is a bill creeping into control of interests which from Plymouth Rock up to this day have been under local control, and wisely so. It is a bill to promote mendican cy, to cultivate beggars. It is a bill declaring the failure of local self-government in one of the supreme inter ests of the people. It falsely declares the bankruptcy of States which be fore our very eyes are rich and grow ing. It makes an ineffectual, if not false pretense of temporary action. It is not for eight years. It is the be ginning of a permanent policy of a permanent new relation between the Federal. Government and the States. It never will go back and never will diminish, but its influence will grow. I hope the bill will be defeated. I wish tha every Senator would vote upon it just exactly as he feels about it au 1 not as being bound by the resolutions of State legisla ture or previous committal or any thing of that sort. Tho longer the bill is thought of and talked cf the weaker it grows and the nearer to Constitutional right the people and Congress are coming. I am willing to see, the bill defeated by any oiJlhu Constitutional means, whether mf the House, by the Senate or by thffPresi dent." The bill went over till tomorrow, Senators Hale and Berry intimating their intention to speak upon it.

The resolution was adopted. Its tffeci will be to drop Gay, of Louisiana, and Owen, of Indiana, from the committee. Mr. Cannon, of Iilinois, from the committee on rulen, reported the res olution ameiding the rules relative to a call; of the House, so as to provide that when a member voluntarily ap pears at the door of the House he 6hall be immediately admitted.

Mr. Roger?, of Aikai.saa, bringing the discussion back to the deficiency biil, agreed with tho btatement iu the report of the com milt oo on appropri ations that the deficiency estimates should be carefully scanned. Ho at tributed, however, the constant re currence of deficiencies to the ten dency of Congress to use its own judgment in making appropriations rather than to rely upon the esti mates furnished by tho departments. Instead of meeting fairly and squarely the necessary expenses of the government the House had adopted the policy which was neither wise nor economical of appropiiatiug too lit tle and making up thd deficiency thereafter. This hud b'.'co.ne the es tablished policy of the committee on appropriations. Pending further dis cussion the committee rose.

Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 14. David R. Hddt, treasurer of Philadelphia Lodge, Benevolent Protective Order of Elk h, is said to be about $5,500 short in his accounts. Mr. Hildi was custodian of the Elks' charity fund, amounting to about $7,000, and it was his dty to have the money de posited to the credit of the society with the Fidelity Trust Company. Yesterday, however, it was discov- f ered that the Elk' deposit amounted to only $1,515, Hildt has promised to meet tbe trustees of; the order to day and make a full explanation. The order is compost d latgely of actors, and - the disclosures have caused considerable excitement in theatrical circles here: Mr. Hildt is an insur ance broker and has been treasurer of the local lodge of Elks since 1881 A ; warrant for Hi'dt's arrest was issued this morning, but it was with drawn later, Hildt having settled Lis accounts in full. He and his friends claim that there was no default or wrong-doing of any kind. He had collected funds for depositors and the funds of the society along with his own . funds.

Cor. of the News apd Observer. Washington, D. C ,. Feb. 13. What does Blaine's letter mean? iB what every body is asking today. The anti-Blaine Republicans say that it means wkat it says, and that Blaine is out of. the race for the Presidential nomination. They are jubilant, or appear that way. The Blaine Repub licans are dumb as oysters. The Democratic opinion is that the Plum ed Knight is playing a clever game of bluff. Democrats believe that he will be nominated at Chicago, des pite his Florence letter. Thvy say that he is a party necessity, being, by great odds, the most formidable candidate the Republican party can offer. PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO RACE. A great national exposition will be held in Atlanta by the "Colored World's Fair Association"' next No vember. The association has a capi tal Block of ; $20i,00, and is com posed cf leading Southern negroes. The exhibits will include works of art, ' field products, manufactures, machinery, inventious,works of skilled labor in fact a display of samples of everything colored men have raised, fabricated, owned, or produced throughout the United States. A smarrnegro is very smart, and a suc cessful negro is very successful. Here and here in the Southern States are to be found an illustration of this rule. Take for instance the Meicer Bros., who carry a clothing stock of $300,000 in New Orleans, and T. T Alloin,mem ber of the Louisiana legislature, who is a levee contractor and employs hundreds of men of both races. F, Gomez & Sons, of Mobile, own and conduct. the largest tin manufac tory in Alabama. A. Arnau , of Mo bile, is a steamboat boiler-maker, and has shops both in Mobile and at Scran ton, Miss In Nashville colored men own a large broom factory. In New Jersey they are manufacturing cloth. John McKee owns four hundred houses and other property worth half a mil lion in Philadelphia. Samuel W. Low ery, of Hunts ville, Ala., was recently awarded the first prize on silk cocoons and raw sick a: the Louisville Expo sition. He is a pioneer in this indus try. Prof. G. T. Wood, of Columbus, Ohio, is the inventor of the syn chronous multiplex railway telegraph, by means of which the railway dis patcher can note the position of any trsin on the route at a glance. It also enables telegrams to be sent from the train while in motion. Wood sued Edison, who claimed to have in vented the same process, and won be fore the Patent Commissioner on the ground of priority of invention. Phillip King, of Montgomery, planned and constructed the bridge across the Chattahoochee River at Columbus, Ga., and another bridge across the same river at Eufaula, Ga. In localities where the negro has ceased to be an active politician tbe race has made remarkable progress. In Louisiana the colored race pay twenty-five per cent of the taxes, owning $30,000,000 worth of prop erty. In South Carolina they own $10,000,000 in Alabama $12,000,000 and in the United States $250,000,000. Iu Kentucky colored citizens own 20060 acres of land, 8,000 town lots, 52,000 head of stock, the whole valued at $4,000,000. Their private fortunes range all the way from $20,000 to $1,000,000, and the Lincoln family of Dallas, Texas, six members in all. have recently come into possession of $48,000,0O0i giving them the snug littlo fortune of $8,000,000 apiece. Philip Josephs, the director gener al of the fair, who is here seeking the co operation of leading colored men, vouches for these statements. FOUR NEW STATES. This Congress will probably pa?s "enabling acts" for Montana, Wash ington, New Mexico and Dakota Ter ritories. Two, and possibly 'three, of these territories will be Democratic States. Washington is the doubtful Territory, with the chances in favor of the Democrats. Young Voorhtes, who recently, moved from Indiana, a eon of Senator Voorhees, represents that Territory in the House. A few years ago he was assistant disbursing clerk of the House. There, is a decided pros pect that he will represent the new State of Washington in the United States Senate. His father is now ono the most distinguished members of that body. But such is life, particu larly when "the young man goes West and gTOW up with tho coun try." COyGRESSIONAL NOTES. Mr. McClarnmy introduced a very important bill in the House today and had it referred to the Ways and Means committee. It suspends the collection cf all internal revenue taxes until December 31st, 1888. At the "first blush," Chairman Mills said today, the bill struck him very favor ably, and in the event the tariff bill fails to pass Congress, it will be urged as an independent proposition. John :n ore 11 cap urowt-r atsainguisueu mm self today by the introduction of a resolution directing the wajs and means committee to report a bill abolishing the internal revenue lawt! ! '. Brower has just returned from Mt. Airy, and he says the failuie of Con gress to abolish the internal revenue laws will ruin the Democratic party in the next election. Hence the co pious crocadiles ' he is shedding to firevent the plainly foreshadowed ca amity ! ! ! Tho sub committee will finish the consideration of the tariff bill this week. It will then be considered by the general com mittee. In the course of ten days it will be reported to the House. Once completed no alteration or amend ment will be permitted. If defeated it must be"tTefeated by striking out the enacting clause the fatal motion that paralyzed Morrison's horizontal experiment. Randall is as silent as the tomb. He is not saying a word. He is waiting for the bill and is anx iously waiting to know its strength. If it is strong enough to stand alone he will not antagonize it. W hat the bill contains, or will contain, is a mat ter of the vaguest conjecture. No body knows. Mills himself doeati' know. Tu) opposition of the wool men has been the greatest obstacle in the way of its preparation and com pletion. Mr. Henderson introduced a bill today fixing the, limit of -compensation for United States marshals and district attorneys. The Attorney General is authorized to say what their compensation shall be, the Amount not to exceed the maximum salary now paid. Tt abolishes fees to deputy marshals, and directs the At torney General to make such allow ances as the services rendered may demand. The bill follows the prin ciple of the bill recently reported by the judiciary committee, consolidat ing customs districts. It simplifies the proposition to abolish the fee system, and provides au effectual check against its abuses. It has been referred to the com mittee on expenditures in tho Depart ment of Justice, and Mr. Henderson hopes for an early and favorable re port. Tho bill reported by the District committee to prevent the publication of lottery advertisements in Distiict newspapers, lacked only two votes of passing the House today. On a mo tion to recommit the bill and refer it to the judiciary committee, the vote was 127 to 115- This reference means the death of the bill. The North Carolina members, with the exception of Mr. Johnston, voted for the referend. PERSONAL NOTES Judge Grant, of Iowa, a native North Carolinian, is at the Metropoli tan. He is a loyal son of Halifax county, where, he says he "was born and raised." He graduated at Chapel Hill in the class of '32, and the venerable Giles Mebane and him self are the only survivors of the class. He is now in : his 75th year, and is hearty and sound as a dollar. From here he goes to California, where he has large -interests. He visited North Carolina in 1878, and it was his last visit, he apprehends, to the land of his ds ivity. C. M. McLeod, of Asheville, who knows a great deal abotrj politics and other things in Western North Caro lina, is at the National. He says Stedman is a very strong candidate for Governor in the trans montane section. There is no serious opposi tion in the West, he says, to Senator Ransom's re-eleqtion. But ' the west" will be represented here in a few days by its able proxy, Col. Kope Elias, und he will know exactly how "the land lies." A. B. Springs and R. J.

Four people were kil!e 1, one of whom was the driver of the carr and another was a boy employed to drive an extra horse on stetp asceiits.jaud ten persons were injured, three or four of them very seriously.. ;The accident was caused by the collapse of an immense derrick used tq lift into place the iron girders wlich form the track supports of elevated railroads. A girder, the derriefcand the derrick platform, with a bailer, all came down together just as: the streetcar was passing beneath? A car going in tho opposite direction with a much larger load of people stopped just as the girder fel in front of thehorheb' noses.

Hon. D. G. Fowle o Raleigh. Cor. of tlie News aud Observer. J Tayloebville, N. C, Feb. 11, 1888. Iu your issue of the 10th I sea an article contributed by "X" urging the name ot D. G. Fowle for Govern or. This is the first tim, I believe, that I havo seen Judge Fowle's name mentioned for Governor, and I with others heartily concur with X" in his first choice on the gubernatorial ticket. Judge Fowle has done more and received less recognition Irom the party whose priucipies he has so ably advoca ed than any man in: the State. As a private in 1876 and 1884 he canvassed the western part of- the State and you can trace his canvass by large a d increased Democratic majorities in every county through which he paeseu 11 the east or ceu tral part of the State is to have the honor of naming the Democratic Can didate for Governor, let us have D-an iel G- Fowle. Outsida of Armfield he is stronger in Alexander county th m any one heretofore mentioned. There is too much Gubernatorial timber in the Democratic party thin season anyway. Let all applicatons be filed away but Armfield, Fdwle, Gilmer and Cla k. Either onei of these gentlemen will fill the bill,, aid this number is large enough to select from. We are not going to Ijave a Democratic walk-over this year,.nd we might as well' prepare for a fight that bids fair to be fiercer than ; that of '76 or '84 Tbe man who runs? for (tovernor mus'. be (iovernor for four years, and not Governor todayjiand Senator tomorrow Of course ever voter has a right to name his choice for Governor, and now that most everybody has been heard from jand spring is upon us, let us reducei'the number and make a selection before some of our Democratic friends in sister States slip some man across the line and urge his name. In this ijoat ter, to secure success, we want cjrys talization and centralization nowj or ganization in the summer and hard work in the fall, and we had better realize this fact - at once and act ac cordingly. Let it be announced that the seats are all taken orders; are ahead. We want workers and voters j not candidates. Z- "Trust Him Sot He's Foaling Thee."
