A movement is on foot, in England for the purpose of eleyating the aristo cracy aud the movers in it will refuse to receive blacklegs and gamblers, no matter how noble their ancestors were.

S It was discovered, after the Judicial Convention at Lenoir hadhecn held that a mistake had been made and that W. C. Newland, the nominee for solic itor, was not the nominee at all. A noii' pnii volition was ordered ami was j i ' . " . - - - held last Friday and after eleven bal lots the nomination was given to New. land, this time for keeps. The Press and Carolinian takes some tronhle to show that Col. L. I . Polk was mistaken in his statement at AoWillt when he asserted that theie were but thirteen farmers in the pres ent Congressof the United Spates. It shows that there are 20 farmers pure nnd simnle. and about one hundred ...... l i members engaged in farming with some auxilliary work. But just here we rise to remark that if our able con temporary intends to try to correct every misstatement of the eloquent Colonel that is if he is correctly te nor ted -it has undertaken no smalll r job. You wirHiave to get out an ex tra, brother. The CoL is in high feather now, and don't mind these lit tle things. Another Southern industry is to be placed under the revenue system. This is the cotton seed oil lard indus try. The addition of cotton seed oM to lard, in certain quantities has been found to greatly cheapen that article and at the same time to do it no harm. Cotton seed oil is a pure and whole some article of food, and a good sub stitute for lard. Many persons use it from choice, while others do not like the flavor. Mixed properly with lard there is no flavor discoverable. The law just passed in Congress lower house is intended to prevent this oil lard coming in competition with honest (?) lard from the Western pork packers. The Southern members of Congress fought the measure as aimed at a Southern industry. At Last it nas otten oeen a matter ot con jecture with Democrats to know just how long the negroes of the South would follow the lend of their white political associates, and yet taste not the fruits of such persistant nffilliation For nearly ajpiarter of a century they have done the bidding of their politi cal bosses with scaircely a mnrmei while the aforesaid bosses have gulped down every plum on the tree as fast as it ripened. Last week the negroes held a mass-convention at Raleigh, before the Republican convention was held, aud they struck out vigorously from the shoulder, assailing their political leaders right and left, and demanded ''official recognition" in the future. when fruit picking time comes around They backed up this demand by as serting their intention to exercise their political power in the elections. This is just what they as a race should do. There can be no doubt of the policy so far as they arc concerned. But trom a democratic standpoint, we prefer to hold off. There can be no denying one fact, and that is that the negro has received more substan tial good from the democraatic party than from the one he has followed these many years. While the demo cratic parta has never held out "bait" to the negroes, it has never failed to do them justice in the administration of government. There can be but little doubt of the effect on the white members of the Republican party if the negroes carry this proposed measure to a political head. It will drive many of the whites into the Democratic party. Human nature b weak ;and AngloSaxon human nature is about the same whatever the political adherence Of the individual. The Raleigh Neirs-Obserrer comment ing on this subject says: "For various reasons many white men in North Carolina have over looked this particular subject, and have adhered to the Republican party. We think this movement by the darkeys will tend to make many white Repub licans examine again the claims of the great political parties to their intelli gent support, and we predict that many a white mau who has heretofore acted with the republican party will come to the conclusion that he ought to support the low tariff national Dem ocratic party, whose chief platform is the constitution of the United States, and equal laws for all interests, and not special favors to rich manufac turers. It is quite impossible to ignore the fact that people everywhere recognize the existence of racial differences, and when the republican organization passes from the control of white men into that of negroes," a large number of the whites who have heretofore acted withth republicans will be apt to put themselves on the other side of the color line," In the Wrong Box. lion. Chas. Price, of this city, was at the "pew-mow," known as the Repub lican State Convent ion. Between fhe Land mark's discretion ofihe Iredell Republican Convention, and the State Chrotiic1es recital of what occurcd at the State Republican Convention, we have decidedly the racfest lot of litera ture that has adorned the pages of a newspaper in many a day. Add to this, if yon will, the riotous conduct of the Republicans in Congress last week, and you have a trio of the most as tounding nature. Never within the recollection of the writer, has such scenes transpired in any sort of a meet ing at which he was present. Person alities, contentions, strife, bickerings! Of statesmanship, dignity or patriot ism, there was none. It was, in all instances cited, a shameful display of personalities, and as political conven tions, a disgrace to the intelligence of mankind. But we digress. What we started out to say was that our towns man the Hon. Chas. Price, was nomi nated for the high and honorable po sition of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, by the State Republican State Convention. He was there and saw it all, heard it all, and worse let the State Chronicle tell the rest : CHAS. PRICE SPEAKP. Hon. Chas. Price, of Salisbury, who has recently been paid for his treachery by an appointment as District Attorney of Western North Carolina, was called on, and made a shrewd bid for the negro vote for Chief Justice. It was an un heard of s ectacle in North Carolina to see a candidate for Judge bidding for votes in a nominating convention. He said that there was no difference in the old Federal party and the present Re publican party. He Raid that he was glad to sec that such harmony prevailed in the convention, Aiiv man who came here especially to see a Kilkenny cat fnrht would be disappointed. Most of his speech was directed to a defense, of Repub lican principles, lie until t speak very heartily m defense ot these principles, for his heart isn't with them. His Re publicanism is known to be "office deep and dollar wide.' Did you ever read the likc-f Now it goes "mighty hard'1 as our folks say, to sit by and have a newspaper way off yonder at Raleigh jump one of our townspeople in this way, and we have to fold our hands and take it. But the trouble is that Capt. Price is some what at fault. He is an astute lawyer; a handsome man; a genial companion and has popular manners. But he is on the wrong side of the po litical fence. There's the rub! If it were not for that fact, the way we should lay it on Joe Daniel's back would be a caution. Fortunately for Capt. Price he spoke before the "colored brethren'' had warmed up, and at. that moment his allusion to the Kilkenny cat fight was oportune. Later on. the fur Hew, and the aforesaid Kilkenny cat fight was merely a "passing off the time of the day" in comparison with the event now humorously alluded to as the ''harmonious Republican State Con vention. Our people here in Rowan will not take stock in this proceeding, however, but will go right along and vote for Hon. A. S. MerrimOn for Chief Jus tice aud we shall poll a rousing vote, too. An Infallible Eule. St;itc Chronicle. Wise men do not make their esti mate of a man by a single act. They do not judge a man by one or two ex pressions, nor by what he says once or twice. If so, consistency and char acter would amount to nothing. De votion to principle would be at a dis count, and men who could change the quickest would-be the favorites with the people. Tt is not so much what a man thinks about this or that particu lar thing by which we measure him. We do not ask, "What does he say to day?" The true query is, 14 What is the tend of his Hie? Is he honest? Is he true? Is he capable? Not, "Does he say he is honest and true and capable?" His own expressions ought not to weigh in the scales in compari son with his acts. "We live in deeds not words." Whenever a man is assailed, thought ful and just men will be slow to give their voice against him if the trend of his whole life has, been such as to re peal tlie accusation. Atid if a true man makes a mistake, it is neither wise nor just to magnify his mistakes and minimize his countless acts of wisdom and patriotism. Let a man s career not a part of it be regarded in putting an estimate upon him. To do otherwise is to be unjust and one sided. We believe this to be an infal lible rule that charity and justice dic tate to all men. The gallant Col. W. II. H. Cowles, of Wilkesboro, has been nominated to succeed himself in the next Congress, He is an able, fearless and tireless ad vocate of true Democracy; is of the people and for the people generally, but more particularly for North Caro lina people. He is loyal to home in terests every time, and is faithful in the discharge of public duty. His dis trict is to be congratulated. He is the man to knock out any man the Re publicans will name. Bold Robbera. HOLD Ur A TRAIN ON TIIE LOUISVILLE AS NASHVILLE HA1LLOAD. Mobile, Ala., September 2. The Louisville & Nashville Cannon-ball train, which left here at 8 o'clock last night, was held np at Big Escambia bridge, a half mile North of Pensacola JnncHon by robbers, who entered the express car, and compelled the messen ger to give up the contents of the safe. It is not known the extent of the loss. Having secured the valuables, the rob bers jumped off the train and took to the wods. The first news of the rob bery received in Mobile by the railway officials was but meagre. The train was held up half a mile above Planta tion Junction, and the people there knew very little of what occured for the train was "delayed seven minutes only and there was not much chance of learning what occurrel. The en gineer, Bob Sizer, says that he was pulling out of Plantation Junction and just as the train, which was the through express from New Orleans, got under way, he turned around and saw a man standing near him. Before he 'could ask a question or look twice, two nig revolvers were in I is race, lie was told to run his train up to the Escam bia river bridge. There was nothing left for him to do but obey and he did so. Then the robbers directed Sizer to go to the express car and force an entrance, the robber putting a heavy mallet in his hand. Sizer did as directed, and burst ed open the car door. The express messenger, Archie Johnson, was standing in his car with pistol in hand, but seeing Sizer lowered it. Tin; next minute he was collared and told to lay down his gun, and he obey ed. Then a robber standing in the car door compelled the messenger to open the safe and hand him the money, while this operation was going' on a fellow was standing in the door coolly, looking at his victim and firing first to one side of the train and then the other to overawe passengers and train crew. W hen he got the money the robber told Sizr to follow him. The man showed the way to the engine,bade Sizer pull out and with a parting shot and a wilJ yell dashed off in the bushes and was lost to sight. A posse has left Flamation and another has left Mobile in pursuit of the robbers. Some sur prise was expressed here that the rob bers selected this particular train, as it is well known that the other trains carry most of the express money. No. 0 was the robbed train, carrying very little at any time aud a small amount on this occasion. It is said Rube Bur rows was recently seen in Florida, and there is a possibility that he ordered the assembling of his gang at Flamaton and joined them there to superintend t he proper conduct of affairs, but this rob lx?ry looks more like work of the cele brated Captain Bunch. The Groat Cotton Crop. The reporter of the New Orleans Exchange states that the total-crop amounts to 7,311,322 bales, exceeding the largest crop ever grown by 205,489 bales, and the crops of last year by 383,033. Tiie total Southern con sumption for the past year is reported at u 40.303 bales against 481,254 last year. The number of mills in ojx?rat;o:i is 27U, with Mo,li)l spindles. Thirty nine new nulls, with ej41,8(4 spindles, have commenced work during the year and fifteen new mills have been completed and will be at work this fall. The total number of mills in the South is now 430, with 40,810 looms and 1,810,291 spindles. The census of 1880 showed 104 mills with 501,300 spindles. The gain with in the prist ten years has been 172 mills with 1,220,407 spindles, the in crease in the number of bales of cotton consumed having been 375.015 or more than 180 per cent. 1,700.258 bales went to Northern spinners, against 1,785,070 last season. This shows an increase of only 15,270 bales, against an in crease in the South of uiearly 08,000 bales. One of the curious features of this years movement was the shipment of more than 2,000 bales of American cotton through Ontario via the Cana dian Pacific Railway to Japan, fifty bales were also shipped to Japan from the port of New York. Hard Sense. N. Y. HeraM. We can trust the negro in Southern hands. Emancipation has been well fur both races. The negro is a grave problem, none graver in the ages. Our feeling toward the Southern people-in their settlement of it should be that of entire sympathy and good will. The duty is with them the issue and the burden. Moreover, and this is an argument that should come home to all men, we have our own business to mind at home, and why perplex the South with suspicions? The problem of badly paid labor: the miseries of the mines: the degredation that comes from the ignorant thousands dumped from day 1 I U A to clay upon our snores trom tar away lands, alien to our people in kindred, religion, tradition and race; the crush ingeffects of a war tariff, which doubles the cost of every poor man's breakfast table these and many kindred ques tions we in the North should think about. They are of more consequence to us than any negro race problems, and to consider them we should mind our own business and leave the South alone. Keep an Eye on the Force Bill. St. Paul Globe. Quay has decided for the bill, and it is doubtful if a single republican Senator would vote against it. Its fate will be pretty well settled by the people in November. A general rout of the Re publicans would prevent its beiug re vived. If democrats "think it is dead they should keep their heels on it for fear of a resurrection. Washington letter. (From our regular corrvsponticnt.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 1, 1890 Senator Edmunds has expofed the cloven republican foot by his resolution for a CoitgressiomiLreeess, instead of adjournment, from Septemlier 10, to November 10. Having by various methods sueeeeed in getting a date set for the disposal of the tariff bill the most nn jnst financial measure of the age the republicans now propose that Congress shall meet again after the Congressional elections in order that it may proceed to do what it does not dare to do before those elections. This action of Mr. Edmunds was taken because Mr. Harrison refused to as sume the responsibility of calling an extra session for the sole purpose of enacting odious political laws and mak ing unnecessary appropriations. First and foremost, if the republi cans are allowed to carry out their program me,and they will not,be unless the united legitimate efforts of the democrats shall fail to prevent it, will come the Force bill, upon which the republicans are already banking to carry the Presidential election ot '02 their leaders expect to loose the next House; but are raising a large fund to try and save themselves from defeat by the aid of the electorial votes of four Southern States which they calculate can be carried with all the election machinery in the hands of the unscrup ulous Federal agents. Next will come the Congressional and electorial college apportionment under the new census, which is to be manipulated in the interests of the republican party. If only the ques tion of right and precedent were con sidered this apoortionment would Ito left for the Fifty-second Congress to deal with so it has been since the foundation of our government but the republican party has never been in the habit of 'letting little things like right and precedent stand in its way, and it is too late to expect it to reform now. Incidentally it is proposed that a huge number of bills carrying largeap propriations which the shrewed leaders of the party temporally side-tracked early in the present session are to be railroaded through and in order to carry this programme out successfully a quorum of republican Senators have", according to Senator Five,, who ought to be good republican authority, agreed to wlopt a gag rule for the Senate sim ilar to the one with which Speaker Reed has bound the House hand and fcot. Another nice little scheme in con nection with this reess business is, that the pretense is to be made that the measure in which the Farmers Al liance and the Labor organizations are interested, similar to the compound lard bill, the amendments to the eight hour law, and to the alien contract law already rased by the House can not be acted upon unless fhose extra three weeks are made use of. The ob ject in this pretense is to try and m ike it appear to the farmers and working i...i ii.. i i . " men ui;it me democrats in opposiiir j 1 Til 1 ... " ine Jvtinutms resolution are opposmj the consideration of their interests. Mr. Harrison has signed the meat in spection bill, thus giving himself greater power in a commercial sense, than is possessed by any European sov ereign, with the possible exception of the Cz ir of Russia. There is a rumor that the River and Harbor bijl, which is now in confer ence, is to go over after the Elections, in order to keep down the total amount of appropriations made by the present Congress. Wall street presure has made Secre tary Windom issue a call for 20,000, 000 more 4. per cent bonds which will mature in September 1001. He offers to pay par aud accrued interest to date if maturity. Senator Morgan has presented to the Senate a resolution adopted by a mass-meeting of colored men at Birm ingham, Alabama, against the passage of the Force bill. This added to the fact that a meeting of negroes at Philadelphia adopted a resolution de claring the Force bill to be impolitic shows that the negroes are not hanker ing after the "protection" which the republicans in Congress are so anxious to giye thorn. To-day is "Labor Day" andit is be ing generally observed by the Labor organizations of the city. They want Congress to make it a national holiday. lhe preliminary farce to depriving another democrat of his seat Breck inridge, of Arkansas is going on in the House to-day. It is hoped that his constituents will see to it that he comes back to the next House with such a big majority that even a repub lican election committee will not dare to question his right to represent his people. Sub-Treasury." f Some of the Alliance people seem to have the gift of expresing themselves so that there is no chance of misapm e- hending the exact status. If they are for a measure, they are for it; if against it, they kick with both feet. W M Evans, in the Virginia State Alliance meeting, helped to vote the measure down, and thus writes the Washington Post of the result: W e voted the sub-Treasury plan and bill down by a large majority. God be thanked the mother of States w have stived from this disgrace. Tb scheme is dead, and quoth !the raven, "never more, never more" will disturb a mate Alliance meeting iu old Vir miii.i .in, I t. ...... ....,1 l .iiw, i u.jpc- Mini ueueve we nave rung the death knell to this ridip uloua and disgraceful scheme through out the Union. 1 hope uow to see our noble order take hold of practical and economical plans for the betterment of an (lie industrial classes and for the nnai settlement of the irrepressible conflict between capital and labor, for God and humanity. To Help the Fanners. The idea embodied in Senator Vance's proposition is to allow foreign goods bought with the proceeds of Ameri ean farm products, to ie imported at idueed rates of dutv. This is n very t matter. It is on the line -I of the suggestion made by us some time ago to allow a bounty on all farm products exported. Indeed the propo sition is to give a bounty equal to the reduction in the duty on foreign goods bought with the proceeds of the farm products. The result must be to en hance the value of our ngricultvral nroductions which we export; and this would have the effect also of en hancing the value of similar products which are not exported. Were tbe proposition adopted by Congress, the value of our entire cot- ton crop, for instance, won Id be con siderably increased. Two-thirdsjof our cotton crop is exported, and as every bale exported would have an additional value imparted to it, the value of the entire crop would be increased, in the same wav the value of wheat and corn and tobacco would be increased. The operation of bounty laws on ex portations has been tested in regard to t . SI i suuar iv l lie uerman goveniiiieiu, with the eflect of increasing the value of sugar made in Germany. The ex porters knowing that they can get a bonus above the foreign market value, buy at an advanced price and rely on the bounty to offset what they pay more than the foreign price. Instead of our prices here being as certained by subtracting from, the Liv erpool value and costs ot transporta tion; we would add to the Liverpool value the atuonnt of fhe bounty -and then subtract from that the cost of transportation. The result would l the American value for all products 11 products whose price is fixed in the markets of the world. Whether Senator Vance's proposition receives the assent, of Con gress or not, it is an effort to benefit the farming industry, and it should receive from the country that careful consideration to which it is entitled. News and Observer. Lodge's Downfall. Springfield -Republican. The proper formula would he, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge who will now introduce, explain and, so far as pos sible, defend his celebrated Force bill." This would fairly describe the place apparently assigned in the campaign programme this Fall. It is a -mean place. to put him in to be sure, but then somebody had to do it, and, as the or iginal offence was his, he must take the consequences. RLUTTZ DOUBLE STORES ! DOUBLE STORES!
