The question whether the nominee
orjthe platform should have the great
est weight with the voters in the
Presidential campaign, is dis
cussed in the May number of the
North American Review, by Senator
Quay, of Pennsylvania, Senator Vest
of Missouri, Representative Boutelle,
of Maine, Representative Wilson, of
West Virginia and Representative
Kilgore1 of Texas.
WHAT CONORKSS IS DOING.
In criticising the demand of the
Third party for government control
of the Vailroads, the Raleigh News
and Observer points out that it would
take . about ten billions of dollars to
buy them or, least that they cost that
sum, and that North Carolina's share
of the burden of making this invest
ment would be $166,343,200, which
"is just about the assessed value of
her lands." Of this sum the farmers
would have a large proportion to
make over in some form.
The Elizabeth City Falcon -Econo-mint
argues in favor of reducing the
number of men who compose a jury
from twelve to six, and truly says :
"Thel duty of a juror is a very re
sponsible one, involving all the dear
est interests of men, and the qualifi
cationsof a juror should be more ex
acting than those of any man invested
with a public duty. They should be
thoroughly equipped in character, in
education, in intelligence, and in
mental acumen and power of analysis.
There is no magic power in the
numerical 12 to transform men into
a judicial body and invest them with
a high sense of moral responsibility.
Six men well chosen are better fitted
indeed to weigh testimony in judicial
scales than twelve, because responsi
bility is more concentrated and selec
tion more narrowed and less difficult."
THE SUGAR TKI ST.
If there is one thing the Demo
cratic party is committed to more
strongly than any one other it is the
spirit of retrenchment and reform in
the expense of running this great
government.
Early in the opening days of the
present Congress it will be remem
bered that Judge Holman introduced
a resolution the aim of which was to
reduce the expenses of the govern
ment to cut down appropriations, in
other Words.
When Grover Cleveland, the best
President we have had for many
years, left the White House and the
reins of the administration were
turned over into the hands of his
Republican successor, it is remem
bered that there was on hand a sur
plus of over one billion dollars. When
the last Congress the Fifty First
adjourned, this surplus was not only
spent, but a deficiency stared the
country in the face. The utter reck
lessness and extravaeance of one
Republican Congress which spent
more than one billion dollars
caused this. It was unheard of and
our people looked on aghast, with
futile amazement, at such a wonder
ful display of reckless extravagance.
Futile, did we say ? No ! For when
election day came they rose up and
the men guilty of such abuse of
power, were hurled from their seats
and a revolution, such as our country
had never before seen, swept the
country and sent a Democratic ma
jority of more than 150 to the House
of Representatives. They were
pledged to retrenchment, economy,
and reform of such abuses. It is about
time to inquire how these men are
fulfilling the pledges demanded of
them by their constituents. What is
the record, is a pertinent query. The
following table shows the reduction
as compared with last year :

The more perfecdy acquainted we
become with the workings of a tariff
law the more strongly we favor
absolute free trade. We would like
to see our people sell where they can
command the highest price and buy
where they can get goods cheapest.
This seems to us right and just. Here
are a few facts about the tariff, as
applied to sugar, an every-day neces
sity, that will prove convincing :
The sugar trusty now owns every
active sugar refinery in the United
States except three. Those three are
owned by large stockholders in the
trust, and are operated "in harmony"
with it. The trust has, therefore, an
actual monopoly of the business in
this country. The actual value of
the plants it controls is less than
$35,000,000, but the trust is capita
lized at $85,000,000, and it will pay
this year 34 per cent, on that false
capitalization, or 37 per cent on actual
investment.
It was extorting less while it had
opposition, but since it bought up the
remaining opposition it has deliber
ately added three-eights of a cent a
poundto refined sugar. In other words,
it has levied an additional tax of $22,
500,00 a year upon the people of the
country who consume sugar.
This is extortion, pure and simple.
There is nothing whatever given in
return for the money taken, and the
trust is enabled to take it solely by
virtue of the tariff duty of one half
cent a pound on foreign refined
sugar. Even if foreign sugar were
on the free list the cost of bringing
it here about one eighth cent a
pound would enable the . trust to
undersell foreign competitors. The
additional tariff duty enables it to
extort more than $20,000,000 a year
from the people.
The Government gives the trust
its raw materials tree. IN ay, more;
it taxes the people to pay two cents a
pound of the purchase price of all raw
sugar bought by the trust from
American producers. Why should
the Government also give the trust
the means of extorting $20,000,000 a
year over and above naturally
enormous profits ? Why should there
not be bill presented at once to put
refined sugar on the free list, so that
the sugar trust may be compelled to
kell sugar at a reasonable price and a
fair profit i Why should an organiza
tion of enormously rich monopolists
be specially authorized by law to rob
the people in this way ?

The Sundry Civil, the Diplomatic
and Consular, and the River and
Harbor appropriation bills are already
on the calendar. The Sundry Civi
comes from Judge Holman's commit
tee. It carries, as reported, $12,252,
576.72 less than last year. The
Diplomatic and Consular Appropria
tion bill comes from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, of which James
H. Blount, of Georgia, is Chairman.
It is $72,000 less than the amount
appropriated last year. Add these
these amounts to those given above
and the total is st.i, 727, 710.05 less
than the appropriations for the same
purposes last year.
The reader must bear in mind that
there was no River and Harbor bill
last year. This year the committee
reports an appropriation of $2 1,290,
975. If this is passed the figures
must be subtracted from the amounts
given above, which would made the
total reduction $10,426,741.95
The Agricultural, the Fortifica
tions, the Legislative, Executive and
Judicial, and the Post Office Appro
priation bills are yet to be reported.
They aggregated last year $106,-737.853-86.

Does it not look as if the pledges
were being carried out? Does ft not
seem that the Democratic party is

not yet to be trusted ?
So when a speaker comes to you
arraigning both old parties equally

remember this. Do you think his

you, when he fails to tell yon these

Washington, April 24th, '92.
The most important event in Con
gress during the past week was the
seating of Mr. Rockwell, ofElmira,
New York, in the contested election
case of Noyes vs. Rockwell. Every
member of the North Carolina dele
gation, except Mr. Crawford, voted
for Rockwell. 'Mr. Rockwell says
his chances became stronger as soon
as the evidence was given to the
House and the speeches commenced.
Mr. O'Ferrall, Chairman of the Elec
tions Committee made the closing
speech against Mr. Rockwell. In
replying to Mr. Cochran, of New
York he made a hit which brought
down the House. On opening Mr.
O'Ferrall said he hoped that a calm
would succeed the hurricane which
had just passed over the House. The
speech of the gentleman from New
York reminded him of a little story.
belated traveler was journeying
over the country road in the midst ot
storm. His horse he guided by
the flare of the lightning. But
although the storm was a fierce one
the flames were infrequent, while the
peals of thunder were incessant.
Finally the wayfarer sent up the
invocation : "Oh, Lord ! it it is the
same to you, I would like to have a
little more light and not quite so
much noise. ' ' Long continued laugh -ter.
It is a fact that Bourke Cochran's
speech was a brilliant mass of glitter
ing generalities.
Unfortunately, Mr. O Ferrall lost
his temper, or at least departed from
he good nature which characterized
the opening of his argument, and lost
ground thereby. In view of the vote
of the majority of the North Carolina
delegation, it would seem that the
evidence must have been tn favor of
the gentleman from Elmira.
Reports of the extreme illness of
Senator Vance sent out from here
have been greatly exaggerated. I
walked a square on Pennsylvania
Avenue with him very recently and
ft. 1
saw no signs ot a general oreaK
down." On the contrary his step
was springy, his conversation cheer
ful and his appearance that of a robust
strong man. He looks as if he were
good for many years to come. He
has gone home to rest. He says
Western North Carolina makes a new
man of him, always.
Walter Page, one of the founders
of the State Chronicle, was in this
city recently. He has become The
owner of a maiority of the stock of
the Manufacturers' Record, Balti
more, and says it promises to be a
great financial success. Mr. Page is
the very man to. make it an all around
success. Besides this, he is now both
business manager and editor of the
Forum, N. Y., at a salary of $10,000.
Woodrow Wilson, Esq., an author
of national prominence, and the son
of Rev. Dr. Jos, R. Wilson, formerly
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
of Wilmington, N. C, has recently
visited this city. He is now a profes
sor at Princeton College and the
President of that1 well known institu
tion of learning has intrusted to him
the duty of establishing and equip
ping a new department, that of Law
at Princeton. Prof. Wilson will be
at the head of it. This young gen
tleman may be regarded as a North
Carolinian, having spent much of his
life in Wilmington where his father
was regarded as one of the foremost
Presbyterian preachers in the State
tie has throughout lorth C arolina a
number of classmates who, with him,
are alumni of Princeton.
Miss Tucker, of Raleigh, is in this
city the guest of the family of Chief
Justice Fuller. She has made many
friends and admirers by her beauty
of person, grace of manners, and
varied accomplishments.
Count and Countess Sponneck left
here yesterday for Asheville, N. C
where they will probably remain for
several months.
Dr. Duncan McKinn, who has
spent sometime in Asheville for his
health, died here yesterday of con
sumption.
Hon. A. H. A. Williams says he
thinks from observations made dur
mg his recent trip nome, that tne
prospects for a united Democracy are
brightening. Like benator Ransom
he has great faith in the ultimate
good sense, loyalty and patriotism of
our people. I he Republicans here,
however, are calculating on great
gains, through the machinations of
the Third Party demagogues in the
State of Georgia, Alabama, 1 ennes-
see, North Carolina, and Virginia
They will be doomed to bitter dis
appointment unless our people have
changed very greatiy within the past
year or so.
It is claimed that Senator Gor
man's retirement from the Nationa
Committee is tantamount to a declar
ation of his candidacy for the Presi
dency. After Cleveland, I believe
he is the strongest man the Demo
crats could name. The Republican
papers are so much afraid of Cleve-
land that they are not self possessed
enough to disguise it. riere is tne
way in which the Post announces
Senator Palmer's candidacy this
morning. The Post's editor-in-chiei
is Hon. Frank Hattop, Postmaster
General in Arthur's cabinet, a close
friend of General Clarkson and one
of the most rabid Republicans I have
ever known. He says :
"Senator Palmer has come to the
conclusion that it is no longer wise to
deny his friends the privilege of naming
him as a Presidential candidate, and the most good just before the elec

and that he intends to ask for this. Up Senator Call has offered a resolu-
to the present time Senator Palmer has tion which, if adopted and carried
he preferred his nomination to that of valuable information. It provides for
any other Democrat. The Senator is the appointment of a committee to

"Senator Palmer's course is to be

commended. It will be better for all
concerned if the exact position of each
Presidential possibility is clearly under
stood. Senator Palmer is a can
didate in every sense of the word. He
is not lurking in the shadow of some
other man's boom so as to step up and
claim the usufruct as soon as it becomes
apparent that the "other man" cannot
be nominated. With Illinois present
ing the name of Palmer, Pattison with
the Pennsylvania delegates at his dis
posal, Gray as the choice of Indiana in
a certain contingency, Iowa pressing
the claims of Boies, and New York for
Hill, there is every reason for anticipa
ting a lively time at Chicago."
There will be a "lively time at
Chicago" unless the voice of the
masses of the people makes itseh
oud and strong enough to compel
the politicians to center on their con
spicuous choice Grover Cleveland.
It is said by expert guessers that
this Congress will not adjourn until
September. During June there will
not be much progress made in legis-
ation. The conventions at Minneap
olis and Chicago will command the
lttention of the politicians of both
parties. It is impossible to get
through with the appropriation bills
and other necessary legislation dur
ing May. In July and August both
Democrats and Republicans will go
to work to manufacture campaign
material.

The Republicans are trying hard
to make party capital out of the I
Democratic vote by which Represcn- !

the report of a majority of the Elec

testant. Representative McMiflin, !
of Tennessee, voiced the general
Democratic, as well as-the corhm'on '
sense view, when he said of it: "I j
cannot see how it can effect the Dem- j
ocratic party. It was a case upon
which men could honestly differ and
upon which they did differ. Mr. i
Mr. Rockwell had the advantage of j
the skill which his case was presented j
and there were many minds that were :
not made up until the final presenta-1
tion of the case. The very length of
the debate and the perfect freedom
which marked it was .sufficient to
show the country that the Democrat
ic House was willing to listen to every
phase of the case."
An exchange says that Jerry Simp
son, the "sockless statesman" of Kan
sas, it is rumored, will petition Con-,
gress for a $2,000,000 appropriation
for the purpose of experimenting in
crossing honey bees with lightning
bugs, under the impression that
should he succeed the bees will be

Senator Vorhees says Of the plat
form adopted by the Indiana Demo
cratic Convention : "It is a sound
platform,, embracing tariff reform and
currency of gold and silver and
legal tender paper (greenbacks ) on
an equality with each other. This is
the old Democratic platfortn, and no
new departure toward Wall Street."
He adds that the State ticket is a
splendid one, with a practical farmer
at its head, and that it is certain to
sweep the State into the Democratic
column this year.

Washington, April 25, 1892.
Mr. Harrison's visit to New York
this week, while ostensibly for the
purpose of attending the laying of the
corner stone of the Grant monument,
is in reality for the purpose of set
tling the question of his candidacy
for a renomination. He will carry
with him the two men were taken
into the cabinet solely to bring about
his renomination Secretaries Foster
and Elkiiis and while there these
political manipulators will meet the
Republican bosses of New York and
other States and try to make bai
gains with them. Secretary Foster
has just returned from Ohio, where
he went to lay Harrison's wires, and
there is reason for believing, although
he maintains to the contrary, that he
found the anti-Harrison sentiment too
strong for him, and that the Ohio
delegation will go to Minneapolis un
instructed. With such States as
Pennsylvania and Ohio sending un
mstructed delegations, it becomes
necessary for Mr. Harrison to capture
the New Yotk delegation or throw
up the sponge.
Senator Teller is doing all he
knows how to do to make himself
disagreeable to the administration.
Not satisfied with charging Mr. Har
rison with having been in league with
the money power lobby to defeat the
free coinage bill in the House, he
knocked the bottom out of a very
nice little scheme which Mr. Harri
son has been concocting for election
eering purposes by a resolution, which
was adopted by the Senate, calling
upon the President for information
as to what steps have been taken
toward the holding of an international
monetary conference, and for copies
of all correspondence with govern
ments invited to participate therein.
Senator Sherman made a hole for
Mr. Harrison to crawl out by amend
ing the resolution, by adding "If not
incompatible with the public inter
ests," but Mr. Teller intimates that
Mr. Harrison would better not try to
make use of it. It is known that
Mr. Harrison has had secret agents
at work for months trying to get the
European governments to agree to
take part in such a conference, and it
is said that they have succeeded in
getting a number of them to do so,
and that the conference is to be held

The Rev. Robert Clark, a colored
man of Beaufort county, 76 years old,
is said to possess the gift of prophecy.
He predicted the close of the war
and the day of Lee's surrender ; he
predicted the earthquake in Italy and
Charleston and now he predicts that
a new political party will send con
sternation into the old parties ; that
this new party will flourish for a
while, but will then die. He also says
there will be destructive earthquakes
in some parts of the world, cyclones
whirl-winds in this country, spread
ing death and destruction in their
paths. Washington Gazette.

Writes ; My sister Jennie, when she
was a young girl, suffered from white
swelling, which greatiy impaired her
health and made her bipod very im

to do anything and could scarcely get
