A Horrible "Wreck
occurred on the Erie Railroad, near
Shobola, N. Y., Monday morning last?
caused by a washout. An east bound
freight was wrecked; and the cars
smashed. The engineer, M. Fritz, and
the fireman. O'Hogan, sustained inju
ries in the head, and the conductor,
Fred Long, in the 'back. The west
bound express train came along about
Ihe same time and was thrown dovn
4 an embankment. Efforts were made
) to flag the train but proved unsuccess
ful The cars caught fire and were
totally burned. The fireman of the
express, Alex Newman, was caught be
tween the burning cars, and shot him
self. The baggage, mail and express
ears jwere burned completely up.
So far two men are known to have
bsen killed and twenty-one wounded
ftighi fatally. A number of race
horses belonging to Lilly Langtry and
"Fred Gebhardt were burned to deaths
The valuation placed -upon them was
$100,000.
. Out Eleven Days, j
The Franklin (N. C.) Press recites
the particulars of a rather .remarkable
l ease, to wit: Matilda Briggs strayed
; away from her home and was out in
j the woods for eleven days. From 100
to 150 persons were out searching for
i her every day, but she was at last found
; by a woman who went to drive hogs
j oat of afield. She willTecover, though
she made a narrow escape. ,

The Wilmington Messenger relates
that the business men North propose
j to vote for themselves by voting for
j Harrison. It is explained by showing
that Harrison's tariff views being in
favor .of protection to manufacturei s,
Si follows that in voting" for Harrison
rthese men will vote for themselves.
Exactly so, And now let our farmers
tnd mechanics of the South who pay
protective tariff, take, into consider
ation that it is not always immodest
to vote for one's self; bat that , by the
sa,roeTulea vote for the Democratic
party is a vote in favor of themselves.
It is a vote for the improvement of
their own condition and for . the wel
fare of their neighbors.

We hear that he boasted that he would
carry the State by 20,000. "Brag is a
good dog, and it is easy to unig. ut
while this, like many other things he
sjiid, may fool the colored people, it
will have no effect upon the ittelligent
public. D ckerv U anxious to arouse
the old Whig spirit, and asks those
who in former days supported iay,
Ha r'.on, &c. How can you go bnck on
Harrison ? W hy not ask, How can they
go back on mv son Oliver, when they
supported with so much zeal his good
old father. Need we answer, Has the
son followed in the steps of the father?
Would the. father have arrayed him
self against a white man's government
in favor of negro rule? We think not.
Col.iDockery is not a pattern of his fa
ther nor are the days or the issues of
the dav the same as in the days of the
past Col. Dockery is an Alliance
man and protectionist, which are in
consistent. He evidently joined to
reap all the benefits, political and oth
erwise. In his discussion of the Tariff
he failed to say one word in regard to
the Jute Trust, which will cause the far
mer to pay about 4J cents per yard more
for bagging than they ought. He did
not tell them that this was the result of
the tariff but labored to prove that the
protective tariff enabled the manufac
turers to pay higher wages, so it does
but do the manufacturers pay it, not
as he knows or any one else, the wage
earners and the staticians say the con
trary. Col. Dockery. ought to have
told them the truth, that the protective
tariff is the rich man's friend and the
poor man's enemy.
Tom Devereux held fotrh firsthand
from all reports his speech was no
great shakes, alidwe are sure the two
I together, with all their bluster and
demagogueism will not change one
vote. Dockery is well know here, he
has appeared before the public on sev
eral occasions asking for vote3, but to no
effect. We only wished on Saturday
that Col. Waddell could have been here
to tear off what little skin he left on him
the last time he appeared before the
people of Fayetteville.- Fayett-fiville
Observer. x
The Charlotte Democrat is not a
noisy political paper. It is always
guarded- in what it says, and always
speaks the honest truth, calmly, earn
estly, and respectfully. Hear it:
It is very silly to hear sensible busi
ness men, or sensible' men of any sort,
say they are tired of politics, that they
do not intend again to take an active
part in elections,- and that they don't
care who is elected. Don't they know
that their business prosperity, the com
mon welfare of their families, and the in
terests of the State generally, depend up
on having good government and good of
ficers? Suppose they do not like a man
individually, is that any reason why
they should refuse to vote for him?
With the experience they once had of
Republican rule in tkis State, are they
willing to try it again? Are they willing
to jeopardize the success of the Demo
cratic candidates by throwing their votes
away on some visionary scheme or
some impracticable candidate, or by ne
glecting to vote? If white-radical ne
gro rulers should again get possession of
the State government, the people who
uow coufess not to take much interest in
elections would be the first to exhibit la
mentations and fear. A vote for the
third-prohibitiou-party is equal to a vote
for Col. Dockery and his negro party. A
vote for thcprohibition party is a vote
against the Democratic party, and against
good government. , People who give-
such votes deserve to be ruled by negro
government, and they will find that they
nave mjureu sinemseives, ineircmiaren
and their neighbors toau irreparable ex
tent. Let sensible white men act like
sensible men.
"People generally have as much inter
est in the welfare of the State and in hav
ing good government, as have newsnaner
editors and what are called politicians;
ana tney snould not expect a few to do all
the work for the party. We can stand a
bad government about as well as any one,
but it is our duty to warn the public
against the rbk of having cue."

(From bur regular correspondent)
WasiUXGTOX, August 13, 1888.
tu President. Mrs.Cleveland; and all
the members oft he Cabinetin the City, to
mi.Jfiii Saturday mornimr. TJardinal
Gibbous presided over the impressive
ceremouies. The dead General was bur
ied at Arlington cemetery amidst thotw
ands of his former comrades. As a trib
ute of respect to his memory. Congress
adjouiied over from Friday umil to-day,
and all the Government departments
were elosed on Saturday, ...
Now that Mr. Blaine has arrived, it is
to be hoped that the republicans of the
Senate will hurry up with their tarin
bill. ,.
The democratic Senators will not nli
buster to prevent the republicans from
lifp.atinir the fisheries treaty. If the re
publicans are willing to go to the country
as havimr rejected a just settlement of
this question, it is their own lookout.
Senator Morgan, in answer to a bom
bastic statement made by Mr. Blair, in
relation to the fisheries treaty and Cana
dian matters, defined the position of the
democratic party on this question very
clearly. He said he did not want war.
He knew what war meant. He had seen
enough of it, and knew that if war came
between England and the United States,
it would i mean killing of a great many
people. The democratic party, with the
backbone of Andrew Jackson, would
not make any foolish quarrel, but if war
came, would stand to the country right
or wrong. The republicans might nieau
a joke, might mean some traffic, some
swapping of knives, or chaffering about
a contact, but the democratic party ment
business. The Senator, at the conclusion
of his remarks, referred sarcastically to
the bomb proff war records of somo of
. . . . . It? o .
ine loua-momneu rcpuuiican i?cnuior.
He also reminded the. republicans of the
fact that Mr. Cleveland had defeated
them everv time he had ever come iu
contact with them, and that be would do
so again this year.
The President has found it necessaay
to veto fourteen more unworthy pension
bills.
SenatorCall spoke in favor of the fish
eries treaty to-day. Last week Sherman
and Evarts sDoke against it. the latter
taking part of two days to make a very
prosy talk to an almost empty Senate
chamber, winding up by giving notice
that he would speak again before the vote
was taken.
Senator Call has introduced a bill to
appropriate $200,000 to pay for proper
ty destroyed in suppressing the yellow
tevei in Florida. It will be passed
promptly, for the latest news from Flor
ida has created a genuine scare.
The Senate has. without a division,
passed the bill introduced by Mr. Spoon
er to regulate commerce carried ou byv
telegraph. The act take effect Nov. 1st,
1SS8. It places the telegraph business
under the control of the Inter-htate Com
merce Commission
It has been authoritatively stated from
the White House, that the rumors iu re
eard to the President's asking for the res
ignation of Commissioner of Pensions
Black, are entirely without foundation.
The relations between Mr. Cleveland
and General Black are perfectly harmoni
ous. The House committee on the merchant
marine and fisheries, will to-morrow be
gin their investigation of the Alaska Seal
fisheries, authorized by Ithe recent reso
lution of the House. There is a mine of
republican wickedness in this matter, and
it is believed that the committee will suc
ceed in exposing it. :
Owing to the large excess over the es
timates of new railroad service put on by
the Post office department, the Postmas
ter General has been compelled to ask
for a deficiency appropriation of $250,000
for that branch of the service.
The National Convention of the Amer
ican party will meet here to-morrow.
About 300 delegates are expected. They
will nominate candidates for President
and Vice President.
All the talk about disagreements be
tween Mr. Cleveland and the national
committee is nonsense. Mr. Cleveland
is entirely satisfied with the conduct of
the campaign, as far as it has gone.
Owing to some objectionable features
in the river and harbor bill, Mr. Cleve
land declined to sign it, but the impor
tance of thejmost of the appropriations was
so great that he did not care to veto it,
so it has been allowed to become a law
without his signature.
Blaixe has at length arrived and
has been received by the admirers of
jingoism with the utmost enthusiusir.
He is the representative of the true Re
publican spirit whoever may be Repub
lican nominees. He is lauded to the
skies: he is "the greatest living states
man;" he is uthe uncrowned King."
Poor Harrison is niiide to play second
fiddle. Republicanism i3 still Blaine
ism with all that implies of legislation
in the sole interest of corporations, of
extravagance in public expenditures, of
high taxation, of blow and brag and
bluster so far as other countries are
concerned. Republicanism's chief ex
emplar is the great Tattooed. Xetcs

The Administration has just scored
another good point in Secretary Vilas'
decision in the Guilford Miller case.
Miller is a .farmer who settled on public
land, which he has cultivated for years.
The Northern Pacific railroad claimed
Miller's land as lying in their territory.
But upon investigation it is found by
the Secretav of the Interior that" they
have n claim to this territory. The
decision in Miller's case saves to more
than two thousand other settlers the
farms which this rapacious corporation
had coveted and would have seized.
Hurrah for an Administration that
guards the rights of the people in the
public lands. Richmond State, Dent.
The Savannah Netcs, as other papers
out of the State, is praising Senator
Vance's recent speech on the Fisheries
treaty. It begins an editorial by say
ing: "Senator Vance pointed oat very clearly
on Monday the reason why the Republican
Senators oppose the ratification of the fish
eries treaty t-day. He has the faculty of
telling intcrestirg stories, which strengthen
the points he wishes to make when discus
sir.;; a subject, and it will hard I v tic denied
that the stories with which his Mondav'a
speech was enriched served admirably the
