A l'leuslng Incident.
A gentleman from Richmond

thing to read, something light and

The Right of I nKtrpctloii .
An extraordinary movement is on
foot in opposition to the right of in
struction to party and public servants
Rut the rinht of instruction is one of
. o
the bed-rock principles of the Demo
cratic party, which helped to distin
guish it from its old rival, the Whig
oarty. The denial of the right was
based on the aristocratic idea that the
office holder knew better what the
people-wanted than the people. With
the granting of free suftrage to the
people of North Carolina in 1854, the
last prop, logically speaking, was
knocked from under the Whig doc-

preserving the form of Republican
government, we would find it more
convenient to serve a Shah, Czar, or
other despot; and it is possible that
thirft might follow an abandonment
of the Democratic party by sucn as
might join its present great adversary,
but, for the sake of all that's becom
ing ,as long as we call ourselves Demo
crats, let us stick to Democratic
doctrine. There is no principle of
the party so well settled as the Right
of Instruction.
The people, as we have elsewhere
remarked, have the silver question
deeply at heart. By all means let
them, if they wish, instruct their can

they may secure Senators who will

Washington-, August 27. Congress

If tliere ever had been a lingering
hope of more legislation during the re

that hope was dissipated by a remark
made behind closed doors Friday after

of the senate to enact them, but the re

the quorum nor would they permit
business to proceed in the open session
by unanimous consent for fear the dem

opportunity to make the campaign

reason legislative business against
which no objections were made, was
transacted behind closed doors by gen

There will probably be no legislation
of any sort today or tomorrow. To
day's sessien will be short, affording
more than anything else, an opportuni

his signature to various bills. A few
odds and ends may be cleared up; but
nothing more than that. Tuesday the

WAR ON THE ANARCHISTS.
The Government Increases the Police Force
in Kerliu for That, Purpose.
Beklix, August 27. The capture of
fourteen anarchists, some ten days ago,
was the beginning of a series of impor
tant discoveries which is still in pro
gress. The police have found secret
meeting places frequented by anarch
ists in Bremen, Luebeck, Lundensheild
Nordhausen, Mainz. Rixdorf, Forst,
Weissenfels, Wisbaden, Iialle, Ham
burg, Altoona, Nummelsburg and
Duesselddorf. Thev have learned also
that there are anarchist groups in
Leipsic, Madgeburg and Frankfort,
although still unable to find the meet
ing places in these three towns. The
first result of these discoveries is the
government's decision to increase the
police in Herlin where many anarchists
meetings have been held in the last six
months. A special credit for this pur
pose will be proposed in parliament.

THE REVENUE ON CARDS.
Kverythiiig in Kfjiiiaian to Itegiii the Tax
:ol!ei tio! on Tuesday.
Washixgtox, August -7. The tariff
bill imposes a tax of I cents on every
pack of playing cards, containing not
more than lil'ty-four cards, in the Uni
ted States. Secretary Carl Use estimates
the revenue from this source at $1,000,
000 for the current liscal year. Treas
ury expcits extimate the entire stock
of plajing cards now in the hands of
dealers at 10.000.000 packs. The annual
product of domestic manufacturers is
estimated at 30.000.000 packs. Imported
playing cards are dutiable at the rate of
10 cents per pack and 50 per cent ad
valorem, and are also subject to the
internal revenue tax of 2 cents per pack.
The foreign made cards are treated like
all other importations of dutiable mer
chandise. The duties are assessed and
collected by the customs officials, who
are also charged with the duty of see
ing that each pack is provided with the
regulation internal revenue stamp,
price 'i cents. The collection of the tax
on the domestic product, including the

effect immediately on the day the bill
becomes law. it was absolutely neces

enforcement in advance. Every pack
of cards will bear a stamp. Cards in

Kemarkable Case of So:niiuuibulism Well
Authenticated.
Skdai.ia, Mo., August 27. A most re

authenticated, is reported here from
ten miles north of this city. Miss Susie
Merlin, daughter of Joshcph Sterlin, a
wealthy farmer of Pettis county, had
been taking music lessons, but the term
had expired. About midnight last eve
ning Mrs. Sterlin was awakened by

and Mr, Sterlin was apprised. lie fol
lowed the your.g lady and was aston
ished at hearing her call to her brother
who was asleep in his room, to wake
and get a letter she had. as she wanted
it mailed at once. Investigation dis
closed that Miss Sterlin was in a sound
sleep, but she had in her possession a
very intelligible letter that she had
written while asleep, addressed to her
teacher, apprising her of having gained
the parents" consent to continue her
musical studies.

London, August 27. The Pall Mall

with remarking:
"While making full allowance for the
I5ritannia's advantages in heir skipper
and crew, so large a proportion as
twelve to live victories in her favor
seems to determine the question of the
relative superiority of the inanimate
portions of the Vigilant and Britannia

THE WIND OF DEATH
Cyclone Sweeps the Sea of Azoff
and a Thousand People Perish
AMERICAN TOURISTS L THE STORM
J'ears Expressed That Every Craft in the
Sea Has Gone to the Bottom Aud
That Every Passenger is Lost
Climax in the Tragedies.
St. Peterhbukg, August, -27. Great
destitution prevails. A wind of death.
No other name can describe the cyclone
that swept across the sea of Azoff Saturday-
It will be impossible for days
yet to compute the damage done, but
it is almost certain that at least 1,000
people have perished, some by drown
ing, others by being crushed under fall
ing houses and trees. The excitement
is great among the American colony in
this city, for it is feared that at i t
two parties of American tourists v.vre
on the sea of Azoff at the time the wind
did its deadly work. At Marianople
over "i00 people were killed and nine
tenths of the houses were destroy!.
At a fishing village named Nogaisk all
the men were-out at sea. The town
was destroyed and none of the boats
returned to shore. At the hour of the
latest report not one of the steamers
that touch at the port of Berdainsk had
arrived. Fears are expressed that
every craft in the sea has gone to the
bottom, and that every im886111" is
drowned. When the wind swept over
the northern end of Azoff it took new
eourses. going southerly along the
coast of the land of Black Cossacks. In
turn Eisk and Achuv were ravaged,
each town, being almost totally destroy
ed. Telegraphic communication with
this district is suspended and it is im
possible to learn the extent of the de
struction, but at least 1,000 persons
must have died on the two shores. The
storm, as nearly as can now be learned,
seems to suddenly lose its force near
Enrink and massed off with comparative
quiet, southerly, over the Black sea.
SUGAR MEN WANT BOUNTY. I
Knits Kntered in the United States Courts for
the IJerovery for tke Year '9-1-5.
Washington, August 27. Judge Mor
ris Marks, of New Urleans. represent
ing a number of sugar 'planters, is here
for the purpose of entering suits in the
U. S. court of claims for recovery of
the sugar bounty for the year 1894-5.
The petition recites the provision of the
McKinley law, "that on and after July
1, 1801, until July 1. 1805." certain boun
ties shall be paid to the growers of
sugar, upon certain prescribed condi
tions as to the liling of- bonds and tak
ing out of license, etc. It recites that
for the present year all those fomalities
have been complied with, and have
been formally accepted by the United
States; that under the provision of the
section quoted, the planters have gone
on and enlarged the areas of sugar
planted, secured advances from their
brokers and have made their crops, and
thev demand, that the United States
j shall cai y out their part of the con
tract,, xne toiai amount, ot bounty ex
pected to accrue on this year's crops
will be somewhere in the neighborhood
of 11,000.000.

Dur.CTH. Minn., August 27. Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll's recent letter as
serting suicide is no sin is partly re
sponsible for a suicide that came to
light yesterday. The body of Joseph
McXame, 80 years old. and single, was
found on the beech of Minnessota
Point, a short distance east of the ship
canal and it is probable he threw him
self in and was carried out into . the
lake by the current which sweets
around Minnessota Point. The body
was almost unrecognizable because it
had been pounding on the beech a long
time. His feet and hands were bound.
Eight weeks ago he came here for his
health from Kansas City, Mo., where lie
and his brother had been in business.
He spent his 400 in sprees and became
despondent when his brother refused to
send hin money for his hotel bill. To

at Atlantic CIfy on Sunday. -
Atlantic, City, N. J., August 27.
William Carr, aged 20, was instantly
killed yesterday afternoon by a bolt of
lightning while in bathing in company
with two young women. He had just
entered the surf and had but risen from
a dive beneath a braker when the flash
came, the first intimation of a coming
storm, and the bolt struck him with a
fatal shock. His companions, the Miss
es Farnum, were within ten feet of him
when the bolt descended. They suf
fered a severe electrical shock and were
also prostrated by fright at sight of
their companion's lifeless body. There
were hundreds of people in the surf
near by and thousands on the strand
and beach who saw the fatal flash and J
themarkit struck. There was an in-5
stant panic among the bathers, who
more or less felt the radiating shock, i
and Tlii-y hurrie 1 out onto 1 lie strand
as if fearful of another visitation of the
testro nig element. Although restora

could not be-revived. His death is said

Advice to the Publics
Did you ever write an article for a
newspaper? No. Then why do you
pick up a paper and after glancing
over it, throw it aside with the re
mark, ' there is nothing in it worth
reading." You think you are a
great newspaper critic, don't you?
You are of the opinion that you
can give the editor pointers that he
has never dreamed of as to how to
conduct a paper sucessfully. , And
yet were you called upon to furnish a -column
of readable news each day for
a weak you couldn't do it to save
your life.
A paper that would publish your
matter would be the subject of public
ridicule, and if your policy was our-
1 j - tr
sued it would be. compelled to sus
pend publication within a month's
time. Washington (Ind.) Democrat.
