HIST" TO KEEP tfp TAXES
OTHEB NEWB.
By Telegraph to Ui Xews ai)4 Qbserrtf.
WASHIKeTON, Aug. " 22 SltKATE
Mr. Beck"ofTered as an amend we u- .
the House tariff bill ' an addilioiiiti
section suspending uotil further or
der of Congress all laws relating to
the sinking fund and had it referred
to the- committee on finance . M '
Beck also introduced a bill to repeal
all laws relating to the sinking fuud
and asked that it lie on the table until
he could see what would become of
his amendment to the tariff bill. He
said the four per cent bonds which
the Treasury was purchasing had
gone up in five months from 125 to
129 and 41 per cent bonds from lUb
to 108$. The meaning of that was
that Congress bad so arranged the
law that taxation had: to be kept
up bo as to provide fifty millions a
year for the sinking fund, while the
.Treasury had already bought over
$700,000,000 bonds more than the
sinking fund needed. There waa only
fraction over 200,U0u,0UU that
could possibly be bought before 1907
without paying any premium that the
holders of the bonds might ask, and
there was enough money lying idle in
the Treasury today to pay off every
one of the 4 per cent bonds' without
any embarrassment to; the gov
ernment. The requirement of
the sinkinir fund, vhioh had
been a fraud for ten years,
was designed simply to main
tain taxes. He could I name, ten
men today in the United States who
by combination could buy up bonds
and hold them and the Secretary of
tt)e Treasury be forced (as the law
ndw stood) to pay $200,000,000 for
every $100,000,000 of bonds he ob
tained. The sinking fund was main
tained for no other purpose 'than to
koep up taxes and to put ' money in
tte rockets of the bondholders by
enabling them to combine " together.
They had already (within five months)
put up the price of bonds S per cent
and they would put it up 5 per cent
within the year unless the sinking
fund law were repealed. .
This was an outrage on the taxpayers
of the country and an outrage upon
a decent legislation. He wanted his
bill to lie on the table till he could
see whether the finance committee
would not agree to suspend ope
ration of the sinking fund, if ' it did
not he would ask the Senate to pass
his bill. 1 "

part
Mr. Heck 1 would be glad to have
you do so. I would like to hear
somebody deny that sinking the fund
law ought i to be repealed.
After some further discussion the bill
was. read a first and second time and
laid on the table- -
The Senate then, on motion- of Mr.
Call, proceeded to the consideration
of the Senate joint resolution appro-
oriatiner S2U0.0UU to suppress in
fection in the inter-State commerce
of the United States.
During the discussion. Mr. Yoor-
hees called attention to the fact that
he was reported in the newspapers as
not voting yesterday on the resolu
tion for the ratification of the fisher
ies treaty (final vote; when the ; fact
was that he was paired and the pair
had been announced in the benate.
Hie discussion on the epidemic
joint resolution was continued at much
length by Senators Call, Tasco, Har
ris, Bpooner, lilair, Wilson oi xqwa,
Chandler, Plumb, Hale and Cockrell.
The committees substitute, was
amended in several particulars and
was adopted and the bill passed, i It
now reads that, in addition to the
unexpended balance of the fund here
tofore appropriated, the sum of 820U,
000, is hereby appropriated to be im
mediately available to be expended in
tbe discretion of tbe President of the
United States in aid of the State or
municipal boards of health or other
wise by such means as he shall deem
best to prevent the introduction of
cholera or yellow fever: into' the
United States from foreign countries
or into one State or Territory from
another or into the District .ov Co
lumbia from any State or into any
State or Territory from the said-Di
trjet. . '.j.'
Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, gave notice
that he would tomorrow ask the Sea-
ate to proceed to the consideration bf
the repoit of the iudieiary committee
on the Jackson (Mississippi) election.
Mr. Chandler called up his resolu
tion heretofore offered in relation to
fraud and violence in the last Lduis
iana election and proceeded to -ad
dress the Senate thereon.
In tbe course of his speech upon
the Louisiana election Mr, Chandler
remarked that in Texas they preferred
to hancr negroes rather than white
men. This stirred Mr. Reagan to. re
sentment and he defended his State
from what he described as the reckless
impudence of Mr. Chandler. Mr.
Reacran was called to order by the
presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls and
withdrew the epithets he had applied
to Mr. Chandler.
Messrs. Coke, Spooner and Evarta
were drawn into iS discussion of the
Washington county, Texas, election
troubles, and Mr. Blair hoped that
tbe debate would im press on the
Texas Senators the necessity for the
nasbace of the Blair educational bill.
r
Mr. Chandler resumed his remarks
on Louisiana and continued till the
Senate at 5.15 adjourned, Mr. Chan
dler still holding the floor.

Pending debate the further coasid
eration-of the report was postponed
(ill tomorrow, gad Vt. Herbert pr6 -

on the naval appropriation bill.
Mr. Herbert stated that, as
agreed to in conference, the bill pro

provided for three unarihored cruisers
and one armored cruiser The Senate
had stricken out the p.ovision for an
armored cruisr and in lieu thereof

Eoint was that although the House
ad directed items to be repeated in
the bill, that the action had ; been ta
ken before the rules were adopted
and that consequently by the adop
tion of the rules forbidding
the attachment of legislation to the
appropriation bill the former order
was revoked. The discussion upon
this point occupied the remainder of

-THE' ADDRESS.
The occasion of the laying of the
corner stone of the North Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical College
yesterday evening was an occasion
lon to be remembered in Raleigh
and the whole State.
Rvely is seen such a distinguished
gathering anywhere as did honor to
this occasion and ran ly was an event
ever solemnized which was emblem
atical of a greater or nobler interest
of any commonwealth.
As per appointment, the train
which w as to bear lhe party to the
site, pulled out of Hargett stieet de
pot shortly after 1 30 clock. On it
were tne cream of the people of the
Capital city, and distinguished rep
resentatives from all over the South

The grand Lodge ol - Masons of
North Carolina arrived in a'body and
took their places on the train. A de
lightful spin of five minutes brought
the excursionists within sight of the
building, now something more than
one story in height, and the party
dismounted
A walk of two hundred yards over
beautiful broad avenue, leading
from the railroad to the building,
brorght them to the spot.
Numerous seats bad been prepared
in front of the building, and also oth
ers upon the floor of the structure
over which a large canvass had been
erected.
The Raleigh Cornet Band took its
position on the elevation and dis
coursed sweetly from its fund of har
monic beauties.
At 6 o'clock the -exercises began,
and the solemn rites and ceremonies
of the order of Masons was proceeded

tion; who shall write the second chap
ter of its history, commencing with
the beginning of practical operations
by the board of trustees under the
aw of its establishment.
Mr. Peele was followed byGen.Rufus
Barringer, of Charlotte, who, in a
brief address, set forth the aims and
objects of the college, and spoke of
tbe importance of industrial and acri-
cultural education.
Gov. Scales then made a brief and
appropriate address. He Baid that
he was proud, on behalf of North
Carolina, of this institution, and fore
shadowed the groat good which would
oome out of it. Whatever his views
had been in the past with recard to
the expediency of establishing the
institution, he was ready to pledge
his hearty assurance of his best wishes
for its success.
Before the couclueion of the exer
cises Gov. Scales made a motion that
vote of thanks be tendered Mr.
Stanhope Pullen, the magnaninous
donor of .the splendid Rue of sixty
acres upon which the college stood.
This motion waa unanimously carried
by a rising vote.
Rev. L L. Nash then pronounced
the benediction and the crowd a re
turned to the city. -
Tbe occasion was a Buocess in ev
ery particular and will always be re
membered as one of the happiest
events in the history of Raleigh. The
members of the Iuter-State conven
tion attended in full numbers. The
entire attendance numbered nearly
thousand and included Raleigh's
best people and many of her most
beautiful ladies.

Oaks, N. C, August 20, 1888.
We had tbe largest and most en
thusiastic county convention at Gra
ham on Saturday we ever saw assem
bled, and the ticket that we nomi
nated is as good as we could make it.
After the convention we were highly
entertained by able speeches from
Mr. B. H. Bunn and Rev. G. W. San
derlin. From Graham we escorted
Mr. Sanderlin to Swepsonville, a
beautiful drive of five miles, where
he was to speak upon invitation of
the Cleveland and Fowle Demo
cratic elub of Thompson town
ship. Mr. E. M. Cook, the genial
superintendent of the cotton mills,
entertained Mr. Sanderlin, and I know
it was handsomely done, for after
supper he was escorted to the speak
er's stand by Mr. Cook's elegant wife
and beautiful daughter who, to
gether with twenty or more young
ladies of the villacre, decorated the
well-arranged speaker's stand with
flower b that breathed the aroma of
trne Democracy.
There are fifty-seven voters in tne
village and they were there all to-
? ether with the surrounding country,
t is useless to attempt to describe
the speech. Everybody was delighted
and highly entertained.
Our club numbers about hall the
Democratic strength of the township,
with Vr. W. H. Bason, of Swepson
ville, as president. Our Democratic
strength is twenty per cent better
than itwo 'years ago, but forty per
cent less than it ought to be.
Very truly,
S. H. Webb,
Corresponding Secretary.
HAVOC OF WIND AND RAIN.
NEW OBLEAKS AND VICINITY BADLY SAV
AGED BY BAOING ELEMENTS.
The gale and heavy rainfall which
prevailed from Friday evening until
Sunday morning, did great damage in
New Orleans and throughout the
sugar belt, from Baton Rouge to the
Gulf, including all the rice section of
that State. Much of the sugar cane
and rice were blown flat on the
ground, and mauy sugar houses and
dwellings were damaged xne dam
age to the sugar crop is roughly esti
mated at from ten to twenty per cent
and to the rice crop twenty to fifty
per cent.
In tbe city many nouses were un
roofed, fences prostrated and trees
uprooted. The heavy rain on the
night of the 19th, for a time, flooded
the entire city. The rear portion of
the city, Claiborne, is still inundated,
the water in the canal being so high
that tbe drainage machines -are com
paratively useless. Tbe city was in
darkness Sunday night, the electric
licht wires oomins in contact with
the wires of the telegraph and tele
phone companies, and necessitating
the cutting off the electric current.

PiTTstuBo, Pa, August 22 The
flood has reached its limit- Lowlands
are submerged and the damage is
great. The loes by destruction of
crops is immense. Bridges, stables
and out-houses were , whirled away
before the rdsliing flood. At Mo
Keesport an ice pond on a hill burst
and tne flood swept away two houses
on Fifth Avenue.; An Italian laborer
was in a long cult ert when it caved
in and he was covered by tons of de
bris. At Greenaburg many people
were driven from their homes and
several stores were wrecked.
A Hungarian cjmp below town was
submerged and many of the people
barely escaped drown ng. The towns
of Larimer, Shafton, Irwin, Penn
and Manor are partially under water,
and many of the inhabitants are living
in the upper stories of their houses.
In the mountains the headwaters of
Bald Eagle creek, ; Spruce creek and
Junction river are I swollen beyond all
bounds. The freshest ia great in
destruction and covers Blair, Cambey,
Center and Huntingdon sections of
Pennsylvania. Ia this city the water
got up into lhe fly -pita of many of the
mills and factories and caused a sus-
Eensipn of work.; The Polish in
abitants of Shanty Town were
again; compelled to remove their
goods and are now encamped on
the banks of the river. The railroads
are the greatest sufferers in this sec
tion. No trains have arrived or de
parted over the . Baltimore & Ohio
since yesterday morning. At Osceola

station, on tne eastern division, tney
have seven acres of land-slide, while
every i bridge and" culvert on the
Wheeling division has been washed
away. ' The 'Pennsylvania main line
eastward has had a washout at Lari
mer, and last night trains were run
over the West Penn8)lvauia division
from Elairsville. The tracks of the
latter are now under five feet
of water, however, and no
through trains will arrive
or depart before tomorrow.
Eastern through j trains doe
at 11 o'clock last evening are still on
the road. They are living at Derry,
Pennsylvania, and ;are being well
cared for. The washout is the great
est in the history of the road.
On the Pittsburg, Vireinia &
Charleston railroad djo trains are run
ning south of Dravaburg, 12 miles
from this city. The Itracks are cov
ered with debris and many bridges
have been swept away. The Chartier
branch of the Pan Handle road ia
also obstructed, and! no trains are
running. The Pittsburg & Western
tracks are three feet under water, but
i
traffic, although delayed, has not been
suspended. The Fort Wayne, Pan
Handle, Cleveland & ! Pittsburg and
the Alleghany Valley oada have been
more fortunate and trains are
moving as usual The Castle and
Shannon railroad suffers the loss of a
bridge at Smiths station and between
Fair Haven and Cooley, two heavy
landslides covered the track. The
large force of men at work will hard
ly have the track cleared today. All
travel is suspended. The .telegraph
service is badly crippled, the poles
and wires are down in all dueotions
and business greatly delayed

terially in carrying this township for
the Democratic party. Buch a clear
and judicious presentation of the po
litical situation of our cduntr.v; such
a review of the history of the Repub
lican party, with the accompanying
exposure of failure toj redeem its
pledges, of insult to the iLat men of
the South, of robb. ry au4 corruption;
such a strong statement df the claims
of the Democratic party for endorse
ment and support in the present cam
paign, was a means of instruction and
a source of great pleasurejjo our par
ty's forces in this community. A fine
campaign speech, it Will (ong be re
membered by his many friends here.
Mr. it. jj. Uarr echoed the sentiment
of the audience when het remarked :
