Baltimore fittn. ; ; The pre8ideniial campaign of 1884 was a campaign of personalities. It was hoped and? believed that in this year's csii)pajg.ii slander and scurrility would to: abandoned. Uat it appears that there bUII . remain creatures of the repitle kind who do . not scruple to engagi in the grossest falsehoods, either to ivent their personal spite or in the expectation of gaining poiiti adrantage. An instance of the kind occurred but Little more than a week ago, when a story was! printed and put in circulation purporting to give an account of c: an interriQw- with a minister fof Worcester, Mass i in which hes sai4 to have accused Pres ident Cleveland of being a bad .man and a brutal husband. To give con sistency to the story, the names of Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Fo&om, her mother, were cited in. evidence. Mrs. Folsom, from Paris, promptly and in dignantly declared by telegraph that the stories were"' without a shadow of foundation. " only wish," she added, "that all American girls were half as happy in their wedded lives as is my good daughter in the love and care of her worthy husband." But this letter4 only scotched the snake: it did not kill iC For a month past Repub-" lican politicians of the baser port have been hinting that "the charges would be made the chief issue of the cam paign," and . would inevitably defeat Mr. Cleveland for re-election." Be sides the published i titer vie iv with the Wor4ester clerp:yman, an anony mous pabphlt referring in general terms tohe same stories was distri buted among ihe New York delegates just as they were etirting for St- Louis, evidently for the purpose of effecting the presidential nomination- From the unaniiuity of the vote , renomina ting President Cleveland it was evi dent thai the slander, fdr which no one was bold enough to be! sponsor were treated with deserved contempt. It was known to President Cleveland that these slanders concerning him had beett set afloat and whispered from mouth to mouth 'for some time past, but when spoken to about them he remarked that they, were "too ab surdly false for notice," Be added, with a prpud confidence 1q tlie sense of justice in (he American people : "My wife and I can, I believe, trust to the manly -and Christian : opirit of our countrymen and countrywomen, to whom this malignant persecution and secfefpoiaoning ol reputations must surely be; odious." They bore theinflicta ;n, .tbflrefore.in silence until Mrs. Clefelan, being personally ad dressed on the subject by a lady of Worcester, the home of the minister who was credited with giving the sanction of the cloth to the truth of the stories, felt herself under an ob ligation to reply. Her. letter, which struck right home, was at onoe brave and womanly. It expressed the in dignation of a wife the! sanetities of whose home had been violated by the scandal-mongers, and was a righteous defense 01 the husband: whose charac ter and 6onduct had been maligned, and whose exalted ' position compels him to bear the calumny . and detrac tion in silence. What the dignity of his office forbade him to do, m rs. Cleveland, wounded in hdr affections by. the poisoned shafts, of the mali cious, bas done for nun, without sac rificing' one iota of the modesty so becoming in a woman.. Her letter was not addressed to the public, bat to one of her sex asking if the state ments made by the minister were cor rect "They are basely false," writes Mrs. Cleveland indignantly.! "I pity tbe man of his calling who has been made the tool to (rive cirou- ation tohsuch! wicked -and heartless lies. I can wisM the women of our coun try no greater blessing than tnafc their homes aad their lives may be as happy and that their husbands may be as kind, attentive, considerate and affectionate as! mine' We are glad that this letter has gotten into print. There is nothing in u that: a pure good woman Ought not .to write. It places President Cleveland as he de serves to be placed before the Amen can people, and it effectually disposes of vile scandals that wo aid have grown by what they fed on.

He added that he i4 'did not vote for Mri Cleve land in 1884, but he should certainly do so ill 1888, especially if his vote might be construed in the light of doing penance for a grievous sin.

IN THE ARREARS OF PENSIONS BILL TBI TABIfF BILL AOAfN DTHEB XIW9. By Telegraph to the News and Observer,. " Washington, June 9 Housk. Mr. Johnston, of Indiana offered a resolu tion setting apart Wednesday, June 13th fo- consideration of the bill granting arrears of pensions. Re ferred to committee on Rules. . The House then went into committee of the whole oo the tariff bill, the pend ing lines relating to flax. : Mr. Buchanan, of New Jeree;, threatened that the laborers of th s country would be heard from in no uncertain time if the bill became a law. Vr. Mills defended the bill and de nounced the efforts made by the other Bide to distort every attempt at revis ion into an abuse of the poor. L Mr. Lind, of Minnesota, & Republi can who- has heretofore suppoited the bill, made a strong plea for he production of the linseed oil indus try, which would be, pe said, injuri ously effected by the removal; of the existing duty,on linseed. He told the Missouri Democrats the success of their lead works depended in great measure on the success of the 11 ax ndustry, , : - motion to strike; out the clause placing lUx straw on the free list was defeated -G2 to 74. ? The debate went on at length, oc casionally touching upon flax, but taking in lumber, salt, glass and the general principles of the bill. Mr. Hemphill, of bQuth Carolina, referring to his recent speech during the memorable debate, said that his remarks as toj free trade iu labor had been misconstrued. If he desired to hire men to perform work for him he would hire them as cheaply as he could if he' wanted to make money. But when -it came to the in troduction of Coolie, and Italian and Hungarian labor, there , were other things to be considered besides the question of cheap labor. Tt would be very unwise to advocate the introduction of any: Bet of people who had not and would have a proper appreciation of tbe institutes under which We Jive or who: would not be likely to assimilate with the people, but as to all others. 'who choose to come in and become good citizens, he could see no objection to them if they simply chose to work more cheaply than some one; else. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, asked if the gentleman (Mr. Hemphill) had been forced into the repudiation of his former statements by the result of the election 'in Ore gon. There was bo disguising the fact that the Mills bill leaned to wards free trade and the gentleman's whole argument had led up to that. Air. Hemphill replied that he bad bad no proper opportunity before to reply to (Mr. Hopkins' criticisms. Moreover he did not protend to be a eader and did not believe that bis utterances had the weight attributed tor them. Mr. Hermann said that he did not favor Chinese immigration. Trusts also came in for a good share 'of at tention from Messrs. Rayner, Cannon, Eelley, Reed, Dockery and Butter worth. Pending debate the j commit tee rose and the House .at 4 15 ad journed.

Celebration of tha Fourth of July and Laying Of tha 'Corner-atone of the Ia fins trial School, Cor. of the News and Observer. Raleigh, If. C, June 8, 1888. It seems to be the wish of many to have a big Fourth of July celebration this year. The time also draws nigh for the laying of the corner-stone of tbe Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege. Why not have them both on one and the same day the one a con tinuation, in fact, an augmentation of the other " No fitter day could be chosen for the laying of the corner stone, and there could be no 'fitter celebration of the Fourth of July There are many friends of industrial education throughout the State who would ; be glad to take advantage of the cheap rates aliorded by all the railroads on that day, and many more visitors to the city would, be glad to have the additional entertainment which will certainly be in store for them at the laying of the corner stone, ihere is at least one great speaker in the State on agricultural subjects, and there is also a rising young man in Eastern Carolina who is truly elo quent upon the beauty and utility of the mechanic arts. We can depend upon local talent for our Fourth of July speeches Special trains, free, or at a nominal fare, can be run to the foot of the Industrial School hill upon which the foundations of the main building; are now being laid. I would further suggest that a com mittee from the city wait upon the executive committee of the Industrial School and that together they arrange a programme at once so as to give plenty of notice to the speakers. i Citizen.

The loss by the overflow of the Mississippi in Illinois affects in parts the improvement in other counties. In Ohio, Indiana, Michi gan and Kansas the average condi tion is nearly the same as in May. The area cf cotton appears to have increased in every State except, in Florida. The increment is largest west of the Mississippi as usual. This preliminary survey of the acre age makes the increase 22 per cent and brings the aggregate breadth close to 19,000,000 acres.

Tbe 'Thurman Club, of Columbia, organized a demonstration last night in honor of the nomination of Judge Thurman. It was participated in by the Samuel J. Randall Club, of Phila delphia, which stopped at Columbus on its way home from St Louis. The clubs marched to Judge Thurman's residence and the old Judge made a speech to them. Among other things he said : "My friends, I should be the most insensible and cold-blooded man in the world if I did not feel grateful for the kindness you have manifested toward me tonight; yes, and I may say that you have mani fested toward me before tonight. And yet I do not know about that, quite. I say kindness what is kindness ? I was living in my own quiet home, with my good old wife and my chil dren and grandchildren and friends around me, wishing for nothing in this world but peace and quiet, when you and others like you forced me onee more into the political arena. Whether this was kind or not time will tell; whether it was well advised or not time will disclose; but one thing I need not wait for time to disclose, and that is that I owe you tbe deepest and pro- foundest gratitude from the very bottom of my heart. He promised, when the campaign opened, that he should be heard from. "I think that there is still in this old head some remnants of brains to enable me to tell the people why it is that all my t life I have been a Democrat and mean to die one." He said he was before the St. Louis convention againstjhis will. He was warmy, nobly supported, and earnestly opposed, but for those who opposed him he had nothing but the kindest feelings. In closing he said : "I tell, you, my friends, that the St. Louis convention did the thing that -should immortal ize it. It did one thing which of itself should command esteem and respect and gratitude of the American peo ple, it did one. thing which set a magnificent example for all time to come to the American people, and, indeed, to all other people who have anything to do in the choice of the rulers, and that thing was to renomi nate Grover Cleveland by the unani moua voice of the convention." The Inter-State Farmers' Association. This body was organized by the Inter-State Convention of Farmers which met in Atlanta, Ga., in Auerust, 1887. It was a magnificent body of broad minded, patriotic, representa tive agriculturists of the ten cotton States. The Association was born of necessity. The peculiar and lan guishing condition of agriculture, espec'ally in the South, is a matter of intense interest and profound con cern. To reach a just conception of our environments and to devise the wisest methods for relief, is the crreat and grand object aud purpose of the Association. In all departments of industrial enterprise in the South ex cept in the great field of agriculture, we witness and feel the invigorating pulsations of quickened life and en ergy, ihere are causes which have unbalanced the industries of the country. They must be readjusted so as to secure to agriculture (the greatest of all) a fair showing in the race. To this end the Inter-State Farmers' Association was organized ; Its next meeting will be held in the city of Raleigh, N. C, on Tuesday, 21st day of August next. It will be composed of delegates appointed by the Vice-Presidents of their respective States five delegates and their alternates from each Con gressional district. Of course all who may come will be welcomed, but tbe tote is limited by the tJonstitution of the Association to five for each Con gressional district. j BATES.

Pittslnirjr Telegraph. James C Cooley, a letter carrier of the Allegheny City postoffice, is a United States prisoner in the jail, charged with stealing valuable letters. He was arrested early this morning in the postoffice by Inspector W. W. Carraway. The circumstances of the arrest are quite dramatic, but the work of col lecting the evidence which warranted the arrest was cf the most prosy character and involved months of hard work. fating back to the time when peo- )le we ro buying Christmas goods, etters containing cash addressed to Messrs. Boggs & Buhl, the Federal street merchants, failed to reach their destination. At about the s..me time George C- Johnstone, treasurer of the Odd Fel low's Endowment Association, re ceived complaint that moneys sent had not: been acknowledged, and he too entered complaint to Postmaster Swan, of the Allegheny postoffice. In spector. Can awny went to work on the case. First be tested all :ho lines carry ing letters into Pittsburgh and Alle gheny and found them perfectly straight Other work resulted in the discovery that the lost mail arrived at the Allegheny postoffice. Not only was this demonstrated, but tbe fat that complaints received by Boggs & Buhl and Mr. Johnstone came from every direction strengthened this theory. When tbe inspector became assured that the thefts wera commit ted by some one in the employ of the local postoffice his work even then had just begun. ' Unlike other large offices, the Alle gheny carriers are compelled to sep arate, throw and stamp mail, as well as arrange their own routes, there forefore every man in the office was for a time under suspicion. The gen eral delivery was Hooded with deooys and finally the boxes. These tests completely exonerated the carriers on Boggs & Buhl's and Mr. John ston's routes, as well as twe or three other employees and narrowed suspi cion down to half a dozen men. About three weeks ago a circumstance threw suspicion directly uoon Cooler To that time Boggs & Buhl had lost upwards of bOO letters containing checks, drafts, postal orders and notes and cash, and Mr. Johnstone had lost about 400 letters. His losses ceased, however, about a month or six weeks ago, but Boggs & Buhl's losses continued steadily. When the mail was made up last nieht Inspector Carraw-av threw nine' "ducks ' into Uoggs & Buhl's box and ' - V . . . . .. . - - . . arranged for himself and Inspector. Mash, his assistant, to secrete them selves in the office at i o'clock this morning. Through a misunderstand ing this scheme fell through. Later this morning there was a quiet meet ing in the parks between Inspector Carraway and one; of the employees who knew the "ducks. He reported that four of them were missing. They all contained marked money. The inspector then made up his mind that he would act immediately and straight way went to the postoffice. Upon entering the door he locked it after him and said : "Gentlemen, attention! There has been some mail stolen from this office this morning. Stand where you are while a search is made. Mr. Cooley, well take you first. Mr. Cooley approached willingly, holding his coat open. "1 have no letters," said he. "Hand out your money, said the inspector. He looked at it and then took from his pocket a memorandum book. "Mr. Nash." said he, "watch the memorandum of money while I read the number, series, etc." "Right, said Nash. Cooley turned pale when he saw that he was in the toils, and had delivered over tbe marked money. 'lou are my prisoner, said the Inspector. "Will you go with me or shall I call a policeman ' He preferred the first and he was immediately placed m lail. r. . . ..... Supreme Court Decisions. Digested by the News and Observer. .

We very .much regret that there was not a better attendance at the concert by Iardella's band at Metro politan Hall last night. The concert was an affair than which we have never heard one more high-toned and elegant and deserved a better au dience than it had. It is proverbial that Saturday night is a bad "show night", in Raleigh but there certainly ought to have been a better turnout to this entertainment than there was. We regret that the public did not better appreciate the opportunity to en joy a really good thing. The small audience present, however, was a thoroughly appreciative one and was loud in praise of the performance. The entertainment was perfect in every detail and we regret that we have not space to elaborate on each feature. The full orchestra selections were magnificent and Mr. Iardella's clarionet solo, Mr. Laube's violin solo and Mr. Voelker's cornet solo were especially fine Personal Mr. J. B. Batchelor returned yes terday afternoon from Baltimore and reported the condition of Mr. Kemp liatchelor so much improved that .he is expected to return home with his mother during this week. Mr. Batche lor's many friends will learn of this with pleasure. Mr. K. 11. Smith, of Goldsboro, is in the city. "V $' Tk, First Plcnlo.

Little attrrow complain loudly; deep distress is silent . Ji.m Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to te afflicted? If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was comparatively run known today it is as common aa -ny word in the English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of an other word used by our forefathers In times past. So it is with neivoua dis eases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called , Biliousness, and all are caused by trou bles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass off 'through tbe sys tem, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffer ing can well appreciate a cure.

The disposition of the Surplus in the U. 8. Treasury engages the attention of our statesmen, but a more vital question has our attention, and that is the reduc tion of the surplus consumptives. Since the discovery and introduction of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, there has been a marked decrease in the mortality from this dreaded disease, and it is possible to still further reduce the number of consumptives. How ? By keeping constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, and using ac cording to directions, upon the appear, ance of the first symptoms, such as a cough, a cold, a sore throat a chest or side pain. Taken thus early a cure is guaranteed. Trial bottles free at Lee, Johnson & Co's-drug store.
