The bil was further discussed until two o'clock when it went over until to morrow with the understanding that a final vote on the bill would be had tomorrow.

Harmer, of Pennsylvania, pre sented a memorial of dealers in to bacco of Philadelphia in favor of a speedy repeal of the tax on tobacco. ReferrecU On motion of Mr. Pbelan, of Ten nessee, the Senate bill passed for the establishment of a light-house at Newport News, Middle Ground, Vs. The: House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Springer, of Illi nois, in the chair, on the tariff bill.' Mr. Wilson, of Minnesota, said that the surplus in the . treasury was de moralising in the extreme. He briefly reviewed; the history of th attempts oi tne uemoeratie party to reduce that surplus by a reduction of tariff duties. Of late years the Republi cans in Congress with almost unan imity opposed considering the ques tion of reducing the tariff on necessi ties and bad been in favor of reducing the tax on wealth. Mr. Lanham, of. Texas, did not claim to be an expert philosopher in dismal science. What he had to say was, he Stated, designed for the home market and local consumption. He was not vain enough to believe his remarks would be in demand for ex port or that there would be occasion to exhaust the supply which he ex pected to provide for his immediate constituents. He did not expect for them thy , conspicuous or ex tended notice outside of their place in the Congressional Record. He did not calculate that they would have any moral effect on the 'courteous gentlemen who honored him with their audience or that they would in fluence the judgment of a single Rep resentative on the floor or afford any valuable contribution to the economic thought or the literary excellence of this discussion, but believing as he did that this subject was one of su preme ' importance, he felt con strained to record his convictions and express some reason for the faith that was in him. What the fate of the pending bill would be no one could safely prognosticate. It was within the power of the protectionists to de feat it, to obstruct and wear it out, but whatever might b the result he sincerely hoped that no one on his side of the House would take the ini tiative in the effort. Let no man who claimed to be a Democrat drive the first dagger or strike the first blow. In view of the conditions which surrounded congress ana in 'WW W view of the stand taken Dv tne president ne could not see how any Democrat could afford to antagonize the general proposition for reducing taxation. The Demo erats were inflexibly determined to crowd and press this great issued be fore Congress and the country. Ajita tion will not cease till something was aooompused. ine people would - not brook further suspense. Men must choose ' whom they would serve. "Who is not for us is against us. If a Democrat favored protective tariff let him go into the camp of the enemy; if a Republican favored tariff reduction let him come into the ar my of reform. He (Lanham) was for the bill with some amendments. If they could not be had he would take the bill as it was and give it his earnest support His principal ob jection to it was that it was too protective. He would vote for free wool without fear of injuring the people of hi district or retarding the well being and prosperity of his Stat- He argued that free wool in stead of being an injury to the wool grower of Texas, would prove a bene fit to him as it would havs th effect of inviting the wool grower of other States where the pnoe of land was high. Mr. Allen, of Massachusetts, wished he oould take the members of the House to the heights opposite Lowell where would be seen miles of cotton mills filled from basement to roof with throbbing armies of skilful workmen and women. Standing on those heights, as the sun went down, they would see the lights flash out and twinkling and flashing as reflected on the bosom of the river. They rivalled the stars in -heaven. Bells rang out, gates flew1 open, and fro them issued thousands of working men and women well clothed, well fed, well housed, pleasant to look upon happy and contented, moving quietly to their own homes. They were the ideal wage earners of the New Eng land manufacturing ciy. . These wot Sle were watching the result ofthe eliberations on this bill, and were anxious to know whether with the picture of their progress and pros perity before the House its members would in the slightest degree turn from a policy which bad done so much to make the country great and pow erful. (Applause.) Mr. Caruth, of Kentucky, said it was claimed by the protectionists that ruin and destruction would follow the enactment of a revenue reform law. He had thought as h listened to the glowing tribute to the New South by Burrows, of Michigan, a few days ago, of that time within the memory of many gentlemen on this floor when it had been contended by Representatives of the South in Con gress that the abolition of slavery would mean the destruction of their wealth, the ruin of their homes, the abandonment of their field. No ar gument could oonvinc them of their error. It took a horrible war; it took shot and canister and shells; it took the blood of gallant live to abolish slavery. Not a quarter of a century had passed and what was the result : Democrats with the exception of a few, who came from protection strongholds had been opposed to taking the tax oH wealth and in favor of reducing the tariff on necessities. In denouncing the protective system he asserted that protection did not exclude European manufactures from our market, but did exclude our manufactures from the markets of the world. The protectionists were accustomed to point to the value of domestic manufactures as the fruit of the tariff while they did not state that 80 or 90 per cent of these manufac tures must of necessity be made in the United States. Tariff or no tariff, the important question presented now was whether the weathly classes should be allowed to levy tribute npnm tiA inrtnatrinl fllamw,. TUi was the contest now before the country and sooner or later the peo ple would succeed. Mr. McOomas, of Maryland, said if the majority would suffer the Republican 'minority to deal for one day only with the problem of the surplus he believed they would in that single day reduce Our annual revenues seventy million.' of dollars by repealing the internal -revenue tax on tobacco, a burden on farms in six teen hundred counties and fifteen States; by repealing the internal rev enue tax on alcohol used in the arts, manufacturing medioines and drugs and by reducing the tariff on sugar to a minimum, yielding revenue enough to pay bounties to home pro ducers of sugar from cane, sorghum, corn and beets. The reduction of the surplus was the pretext but not the motive of the pending bill. It ia not surplus revenue but protective rev enue; not a war tariff but a protective tariff the majority assailed. Cleveland's messsg e and this foundling now call ed the Mills' bill had a common pur pose. Both used the surplus as the fulcrum wherewith to apply the free trade lever to dislodge the protective system. Every free trader applauded both.; Every protectionist denounced both. The Democracy had, under Cleveland, after forty years, renewed its allegiance to English free trade. This fight was not over th details of this bill but on the broad issue of free trade or protection. Free trade meant untaxed foreign competition. It cheapened a few things the work men consumed, but cheapened every thing that he produced. Protection raised the price of a few things th workmen consum ed, but raised the price of everything he produced, and higher wacres for what he produced mean higher standard of life for home, wife and children, since all foreign coun tries save England had adopted the protective system free trade for the United States oould not open a single port or a market not now open to all foreign wares, we would iau De low the combined efforts of protective tariffs abroad and foreign competi tion at home. It was amazing to near reDresentatives from the Southern States unite to denounce tne tarin when the South most '.needed proteo tion. New England and Pennsyl vania, rich with the fruits of the federal system of manu factures, might well smile at the folly of these Southern leaders, blinded by prejudice. The war cry of the Old South was slave labor ana tree trade. Slavery had gone, but these leaders of the Old South here on this floor fought for an English alliance and free trade once more. Free trade was still the dream of the Old South whose corner-stone was the planta tion idea, wide lands, an accomplished few enriched by the ignorant many toiling for bare subsistence. He pic tured the New South thrilling with mighty enterprises, developing her mines, founding her cities,and said to this New south that Cleveland s mes sage against the protective tariff came like some unwelcome bell knelling departed friend The eloquent point of the gentleman from Michigan would answer that question. The entire people of the South thanked God that slavery bad been abolished. As the South had contended that without slavery u could not exist so now the North contended that protection wa it only safety. A th South had found ihat the liberation of its slav was th commencement of it greatness, so the North would find that the adoption of a revenue tariff would waken her energies, add new im pulse to her enterprises, and lend to very power double power to reach the desired end. There could not nd would not be recourse to anna. The industrial revolution of th. North would be brought about not by a revolt of those who were not protected against those who were, but bj wise counsel, by fair compromise and by the gradual emancipation of the American paopl from their slavery to monopoly. (Applause.) The committee rose and the House took a recess until 8 p. m., the even ing session to be for tariff discussion. Vha Papa mm Ij-lma4 By ffable to the Ksws sn4 Observer.

L- Mar tin, ' publisher of the Nev MUrit tippian, sends the I'icayvne the fol lowing account of the tragedy at Jackson yesterday : Mr. Martin was returning to his office from his dinner at about 2 o'clock when he was met midway between his home and his office by Gen. Adams and a friend who had left the pos' office a few min utes earlier and were proceeding to ward Mariin's home. An eye wit ness, Walter Johnson, who was stand ing near, states that Adam stopped Martin and engaged bim in conversa tion for about a minute when Adams drew his pistol and fired, knocking Martin s hat off. Adaroa aeeond shot brought Martin to his knee. 1 The latter experienced considerable diffi culty in drawing his pistol, but fi nally succeeding, be fired rapidly. The third shot by Adams caused Martin to fall flat on his back. After few second", however, he partially rose and, steadying himself on his el bow, shot Adams directly through the heart killing him instantly. Martin lived a few minutes only, re marking to Charles Campbell : "I am a dead man." Owing to the fact that Martin is believed to have received four shots while only three chambers of Adams' pistol were empty, some suspicion attaches to JNed Ivarruh, 1 Adams' friend, and an investigation W4H be held. Martin, though only 25 years of age, stood at the head of Mississippi journalism. Gen. Adams was between 65 and 70 years of age, and was one of Mississippi's most dis tinguished men. ptrlt af tka State Praal.

There are number of new parties springing up, all probably with some grains of good in them. The only one which promises to assume shape in North Carolina is the Prohibition party, which ha attempted, a State organization. .- For a Democratic pro hibitionist to vote with the new party would be to simply play into the hands of the Radicals. The law pro vides a very simple way for any com munity to secure prohibition that wants it; there is no need of any sep arate party organization. Rocky Mouat Phoenix. Mr. Joseph B.

Appreciating the necessity of put ting only good men in the field, men whose powers of mind and character, foreign from all weakness and of per fect mould, could stand before the people unblemished and unblamable; knowing the necessities that would be laid upon us, and the importance of intellectual eonspieuity and politi cal perfection as characteristics, we have placed before the people the name of a distinguished citizen, in whom every requirement is richly met for the office of Supreme Court Judge.

In accordance with the plan of or ganization of the Democratic party of N. C. The represeatativeNDemocrats of Green county met in theXtown of Snow Hill on Saturday, th28th inst , and appointed delegates t at tend the State, Senatorial. Jndi and Congressional oonvent on; thereXl iore tne true-cine Democratic voter of our oounty have commenced to be enthused concerning the great politi cal isanes of the day, and in, the near future they will be aglow for the conflict. Quite a n amber of prominent Democrats (all good man) have been mentioned in he papers for Governor and as we have any amount of first class material n the State to select from, then doubtless one will be chosen who will satisfy, and lead our people to a glorious victory in No vember next. We, the people of Greene, are not going to be conten tious about who the guberna torial candidate is, but work faithfully for the man placed upon the ticket, neither are we going to be contentious about the minor places on the ticket, yet we axe more than anxious to furnish the man for State Auditor, therefore, we re spectfully ask the de'egates who are appointed to attend the Si ate Con vention ."the 30th of May, 1888, to pause and consider; the merits and claims of our man. He is no stranger to the representative Democrats of the State, having served with many of them in the Legislature of 1885, and who has been a proficient and active worker in every political cam paign since the close of the war, hew ing with his own hands and putting in position heavy stones in the Bolid masonry of Democracy, which will remain as a monument to his name long after he has passed over the river. He is s lineal descendant of that historic SpeighV family, an ora tor both by intuition and education, therefore, a forcible public speaker, a man of inflxible integrity, a towering intellect, and is full of magnetism, a first-class accountant, and thoroughly identified with the farming interest of 1 TV ' a uur country, ne ia also a 1 progres sive man and well up with the age in which we. live, and in him will be found all the qualities combined to make him an.honor to his State, and a rnmenF in VhiciTTTe'raiy1 0 iBjeav I allude to Capt W. A. Darden, one of Greene county's native born sons, of, whom she has ever been Sroud, and has at all times when in er power, done him honor. I voice the sentiment of every true Democrat in this county, when I ask the delegates of the State Conven tion to weigh well the merit and claims of Capt Darden for the posi tion of State auditor. Respectfully, Gbxebk. Tae Aaatastla Cream. This delightful entertainment is now the social talk.
