The strgar trust has been dissolved; 'due noiioubt to watering the stock tooltuTens 0f,ne country 'much. Nearly 50,000 uniformed troops were in the grand proce&ion in New York, May 1st. Prohibition was defeuted in Massa chusetts recently by a majority of forty thousand. V VicePreskleut Morton had his life endangered by a railroad collision at Baltimore, April 10. Guilford B.ittle Ground Celebration, Saturday May 4th. It will be a grand day for old Guilford. ' There is to be a local option election in Raleigh in .June. The parties on each side have commenced-the contest. There Were several thousand mili tary companies in the grand procession in New York Tuesday some of them from southern States. A large carpet mill at Lowell has burned down. Las-, $230,000. From five to seven hundred operatives were thrown out of employment. Governor Eowle and (he Governors Guard left Raleigh on Saturday to at tend the great centennial celebration in New York on Tuesday. Is it true that Ben. Harrison retired from the LT. S. Senate after six years service without having' made a single personal friend in either branch of Congress! Another horror broke out nniong the Oklahoma mob the small pox! This dread disease on a fellow in the shelterless abodes of a prairie is not pleasant to think of. A fearfully fatal disease resembling typhoid fever has broken out in Japan, caused, it is thought, by b:id rice. Forty out of sixty persons have died in 24 hours after the attack. The Cz .r of Russia continues to be the subject jjf hate by parties of his people, who write and publish threat ening pamphlets, oflate threating letters are found on his table. Every man employed ou the train of 14 freight cars which went through the bridge sit Third Creek recently, on the W. N. C. R. R. was discharged from the service of the company. Wanamaker ii one of a -firm of a large clothing, establish m?nt which sent out circulars oftheir business to the 00,000 postmasters of the couu try. Private business backed by offi cial power. The reports of the Centennial cele bration in NewTork on Tuesday are Voluminous boo big for pur paper even when bailed down. The crowd was so great as to m ike citizens of the city feel small. The proprietors of the Atlantic Ho tel, at Morehead, are making vigorous efforts to put that establishment in fine condition for the entertainment of guests this summer. R. B. Rnney is to be manager. Trouble is feared between 150 white men discharged from a Rolling Mill in Chattanoogia and the negroes put into their places. The company made the change a a in itfer of neces sity to economise. The Askew ptper mill in Wake runty was recently sold at auction and bought by a syndicate at $J 5,500, They will put in new machinery and run it in connection with other mills owned by the purchasers. A railroad accident near Hamilton, Ohio, resulted in the death of 17 passenger-. Two were killed out-right; the others were caught between three telescoping curs: which took fire im mediately, and they were burned be yond recogn it joai. - i. It is said J5,CC0 negTtXi have left the State this year, and the movement is still gutheriug force. A negro ora tor at a public meeting in Raleigh said there were 100,000 ready to go.

Fowle has accepted an invita tion of the Southern Society of New York, to participate in a dinner to be given May 21. All the southern gov ernors have been invi.ed and are, ex pected to be present. It will doubtless be a very pleasant gathering. And now a chewing tobacco trust is talked of, and Lorillard, Jr., of New York, is said to be working it up. it is to embrace all the leading manufac- The best chew ing tobacco is made by the tobacco raiser himself pure and undoctored; . A rejectel lover in Albermarle coun ty, Ya., sount revenge in shooting the laly fired tw.j shots into her. She was wise in rejecting such a fellow even if he had killed her. Bat the laws of the country should make it impossible for him tor repeat his mur derous conduct. Connecticut will vote ou prohibition this summer, and it is feared the result will be like that in Massachusetts. These New Englanders who believe themselves to be wiser and better than the people of any other portion of the country really only have more money than their neighbors. State business licensing liquor shops and building court-houses, jails, penitentiaries and asylums. State Economy taxing the liquor traffic thousands and paying hundreds of thousands for keeping up the system. State Morality permitting drunk ards to be made and then punishing them for the crimes-thev commit. The South in certain directions is pressing forward. The Baltimore Amer ican, Pro., says that in 1888 it made 200,030 more tons of pig iron than in 1887. If the South will begin to boom in farms there will be great cause for re joicing, for the progress will be perma nent. Wilmington t ar. Exactly true. Farm progress is far more important than any other in terest in the South, because ou it depen ds all permanent prosperity. Wilmington has straw jerries and peas from the truck gardens near the city. The Wilmington Messenger also speaks of non-combustible cotton on exhibition there. And further it says ''To our mind there is a preempti ble tendency on the part of the people of all New England to re-embrace the doctrines of the Democracy." H pe the Messenger is a wise seer. A man was white capped in the su burbs of Cincinnati, April 27, for bad treatment of his wife, who supported him, while he spent his time in liquor shops. "They ied him to a tree, took down his trousers and belabored him most unmercifully for half an hour. His screams attracted a great crowd of men and women, but no one interfered to rescue him." Did it cure him of his evil ways? or will they have to cut his throat to do it? The N. Y. Herald pretends to see evidences in the South of er and more efficient republican party than has heretofore been known. But how is the. Harrison administra tion seeking to build up such a partv? If by turning white men out of office and putting negroes in their places a stronger and more efficient republican party can be built up amang us, then the administration is co-operating with the Herald "over the left," as the boys say. No better way to keep the negroos "solid" for the republican party could be adopted, and while they stand solid against their white neigh bors of the South why, does any one suppose that the white men wiU break ranks and join the republicans, negroes and all! The white men of the South banded together for mutual protection against ignorance, incompetency and venality and they are likely so to re main while there is sufficient cau.-e. The Charlotte Chronicle has spoken out . against the desecration of the Sabbath by the railroads in doing un necessary work on the Lord's day, put ting it on the ground, chiefly, that a day of rest is due to railroad people. There are weighty reasons why the Sabbath should be observed, especially by a people professing Christianity. The General Government (the people's servants), going through the mockery of sweaaing by the God of the Bible, is the great exemplar of wicked ness in this matter, and the peo ple, t auctioning the mockery, assume the guilty. The penalty, when it comes, as come it will, wilt fall on government agents, railroad corpora Moos, people and all, for that all are guilty. It is a crime of as high grade as any denounced by the terms of the decalogue. If ever God spake to man ou earth, He said, "Ilemember the Sab bath day, to keep it keep it holy." ! A people that pr.ictically denies this, tpractically denies every other revela tion accredited to the Almighty. Hereditary Succession. The "Farmer's Voice," a .Chicago paper published in the interest of the productive classes,"arraigns the Harri son administration on the charge of instituting hereditary succession in his appointments to offices, as follows: , "Not only are high positions secured by dishonest incompetents through scheme and juggle, JUu.t. bulletheuded millionaires deliberately buy their way into the United States Senate. "Harrison's administration has, how ever, gone still a step farther, -and -revived the principles of hereditary succes sion, which .we supposed was left behind in Europe when our forefathers came to this country. Col. Frederick Dent Grant and Hon. Robert Todd Lincoln have been' appointed ministers to the courts of Austria and Great Jvi'tuin. Ihis was done because they were the sons of their distinguished fathers. -Both of these gentlemen are worthy citizens, but no one even suspects them of qua'ifleaiions beyond those of millions of their fellow countrymen. Both of them are simply commonplace men of average ability and education, and on their merits could have no claim to the high positions that have been given them. "We regard this act of President Har rison as a dangerous innovation, for it flings a door wide open that admits the Validity of the aristocratic principle ol hereditary rule. If the sons ot Generals and Presidents s;re of right entitled to high positions, it follows that . the sons of Senators and Congressmen have a right to positions of lower grade. The people of the northern' sectiou of the couutry afe about as much to blame for this departure from Demo cratic principles as the President, by their man-worship of Abraham Lin coln and Gen. Grant. Not satisfied with heaping undeserved honors, espe cially on Gen. Grant, they seem to take it for granted that Fred should be honored for his father's sake if for nothing else. The rule in a republic like this is that "worth makes the man and the lack of it the fellow," and that every vessel should stand ou its own bottom. The people of the country should demand the observance of the rule, and condemn every departure from it. Commencement at Union Institute. The commencement exercises at this Institution, in Union County, Prof. 0. 0. Hamilton, President, will take place on the 15th, 10th and 17th May. It will be on occasion of large interest There will be six gold medal distribut ed among the pupils, who come from several different counties in this- State and South Carolina. There have been about 100 regular pupils at this school during the year, and from 40 to 60 boarders. Soldiers's Home. The soldiers are begin in g to speak out on the subject of the proposed k,So! diers Home.'' Two of them speak thiough the Chariot e Chronicle, of May 21. One ot them W. B. Cald well, of Huntersville, we believe sounds the Key note of these old vet- terans when he says "We want no pauper soldiers' home. What we want is a pension to help us along, and stay among our own people." The Heroes of Apia. Washington, April 27. Secv. Tracv to-day sent a lou letter to Rear Admiral Kimbe.lv, commanding the United States naval forces on the Paeitic station at Apia, .Samoa. After reviewing m length the official repoits and newspaper accounts of the disaste r and commend ing and p-aising the conduct of the United States officers, Secretary Tracv said: "In reply to vour reonosi, smH that of Captain Farquar for a couit ot inquiry, the department has to say that it deems such a court uu necessary. It is satistied that the officers in command of the ships at Apia did their duty with courage, fidelity and sound judgment. and that they were zealously and loyally i i i . i i . j wt-uuueu uy ineir suooruinates; that the hurricane which caused the destruction of the vessels and the loss of so many lives was oue of those visitations of Prov idence, in the presence of which human efforts are of little avail; that the meas ures actually Ui ken-by yourself and offi cers under you were all that wisdom and prudence could dictate, and that it'wns due to these measuies that so lare a proportion of the crews was saved, that the one step which might have averted the catastrophe, namely to have put to sea before the storm had developed, cuuld only have been justified, in view of ttie grave responsibilities resting upon you at Samoa, by the certainty of over whelming danger to your fleet, which could not then be foreseen; that you rightly decided to remain at your post, and that the department, even in the face of the terrible disaster which is involved, approves absouitely your decision which has set an example to the navy that should uever be forgotten. To. con vene a court of inquiry under these cir cumstances would seem to imply a doubt ou the part of the department where no doubt exists, aud instead of ordering an investigation it tenders to you and through you to the officers and men of your command, its sympathy for the exposures and hardships you have en countered, and its profound thanks for the fidelity with which you have per formed your duties in a crisis of appall ing. danger.'7 The yacht Coronet, which has sailed around the world for over a year, has returned to New York in good condition and with all well on board. She left Gib raltar thirty-two days ago and encoun tered at least a half dozen storms, with out any serious mishap.

(From our regular correspondent.) Washington, April 29, President Harrison has refused to extend the time for the Railway Mai. Service to pass under the rules of the Civil Service Commission'. Conse quently no appointment can be made ffl that brunch of the Government ser vice after May 1st, except through the QyiliServiceCom mission. Thisaction was taken in opposition to the wishe o.f Postmaster General Wunaniaker. who had asked to have the time ex tended. The President and the rest of the admimetri&on With its wives, daugh ters, sons ' cousins and aunts, to say nothing of grandchildren, left .here oil a special train (furnished them free) shortly after 1 o'clock this morning en route to New York to take part in the teu ten nial celebration of George Washington s inauguration. The of fice seekers and Congressmen disap peared with the appointing powers but most of them will probably be Ouck by the last ot the week The most thoroughly disappointed man in the United States Hilly Ma- hone, of Virginia had quite a Ion .nterview itl. tlw PrinV,, Suf,, day, and it s aid that he made a mot , , . " . "7, , piteous appeal for recognition of some sort. He is no longer choice about what he gets. He started out bv de i: -i i i ". - i . maiming a aouiet position, out now he humbly asked to be allowed to name a few of the smaller Federal officials in Virginia, and it is by no means cer tain that even that privilege is to be allowed him. President Harrison as a lawyer must be familiar with the old English legal maxim which says ''the receiver of stolen goods is as bad as the thief," but his action in cutting the acqaintance of his old friend W. W. Dudley, who organized the doubtful voters of In diana into "blocks of five", and stole the state, proves that he does not be lieve in the aforesaid maxim. It has been hinted around Washington fur some time that President Harrison had refused to speak to Col. Dudley since the latter was unfortunate enough to get shown up in the "blocks of five business. Could it be bocansp Hip President disapproves of such crooked ness? VVhy, Dudley has been one of his crookedest and ablest lieutenants for lo these many years, and it was for just such work that he, by .special request, had Dudley made treasurer of the Republican National Committee. Gen. Harrison did not seem to object to the crookedness then, on the con trary he accepted all the benefit there from. But when Col. Dudley was stupid enough to he caught, Gen. Har rison's virtue development, and he re solved to have nothing more to do with such a very wicked man as Dud Icy. It's strange that every body else should know all about Cof Dtidlev's dark ways all these years and that the President should have been entirely ignorant. Dudley, himself, has made the rum ored snubbing a certainty bv giving out a letter which he wrote to a gen tleman in Indiana, who hud asked his influence in getting an office for which he was an applicant. The following paragraph from Dudley's letter tells, the whole story: "Perhaps there is no one in the whole country who has done as much for Gen. Harrison dur- ii... i l - i hik i-tit? icim, i wen iy -years as i nave, but because our Democratic friends down in indianopolis have started the hue and cry on me, brother Ben dots not seem to feel that he can afford to recognize me as an acquaintance, and consequently I don't take dinner at the White House as might lie ex pected." If President H arrison believed his friend Dudley to have been such a ras cal that he could not afford o recog nize him as. an acquaintance, would he not have been more consistent to re fuse tin fruits of that rascality the Presidency? No sane man doubts that New York was carried by the same methods as Indiana. If Col. Dudley is a thief, who is the receiver of the stolen good? Private Secretary Halford savs that the President's health has not been better in twenty years than it is now. This story is gotten up for out-of-town consumption; it will not pass here where people can see the President's chalky fac and the watery looking puffs under his eyes. Senator Stewart continues to pound away at the silver question, but he has not yet been able to persuade the administration to increase its monthly purchase of bullion. He says he still hopes to do so. Senator Sherman and Qi a -who have ben saying uncomplimentary things about each other, have shaken hands and outwardly made up, hut they have both doubtless made up their minds to get even with the other at the first opportunity.

Natural Soap. "The natural soap mines of Owens Lake, Cal., are thus accounted for by one of the company now working there: He says that the waters of the lake contain a strong solution of borax and soda. In these waters there breeds a grub that becomes a fly. The flies die in the water aud drifts ashore, covering the ground to the depth of a foot or more. The oily substance of the flie blends with the borax and soda, and the result is a laver of pure soap. These strata repeated from year to year, form the soap mines where large forces of men are now em ployed."
