"to t -J i A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SUB TIIEASUHV BILL AN D 811) TREASl'ltY J'MN. i i There is a difference between the Sub- treasury plan and the Sub Treasury bill, failure to ob.-cive tlie difference lias loubtlihs j;iven rise to much unnecessary opposition auJ bitterness tit' Hieeeli. Tiic Sub-Treasury hill is the bill now before Congress. It is only a part of the 3ub -Treasury plan, ami the tw o should not he eonl'ounileil. There arc other bills that could be introduced into Congress which would be as much a part of the jSub-Treasury plau as the bill uow pend ing before that body. The pUn is broad er than a mere bill. There are many who are in favor of the Sub-Treasury lan who do not favor the Sub-Treasury iill. The recently elected Senator from Georgia, General Gordon, is one of the former. His (lection w is in no sense a .defeat of the Farmers' Alliance. It was Dot eveu a repulse, though many Alliance members regarded it as isuch, because they have failed to observe the distinction in dicated. Senator Gordon is a strons; advocate of the Sub-Treasury plan. He so ex pressed himself before and after the elec tion, and bis opposition to the Sub-Treasury bill was equally as open and frank. : Localise of the latter he excited opposition to his election among some the Georgia Al x lianccs, but many who voted against him, :. would now, were the election to take place, vote for him. This is because bin 'position is better understood. It is seen j in the light oF reason. The passions of .4 the hour have passed away, and it is $ judged from the proper standpoint. Our own Seuator Vance is in favor of A . l (, i rn t II I1 II.. ' tlie bud-.treasury piau. ucisiuoy in accord with the purposes and aims of the Alliauce. lie has never casi a vote or uttered against the interests of the far mers of this State lleonlv fears that the Sub-Treasury bill will not accomplish what the fanners are contending for, and I that it violates the Constitution. That is all. He heartily endorses the plan We are satisfied that the Senator is being better understood I nl'orination from t he most reliable source has recently reached us that Senator Vance will in all proba bility, be re-nominated in the Democratic caucus by acclamation; that iu any event there can be no reasonable doubt of his triumphant re-election. The clouds are passing away. The i farmers of North Carolina are conserva- tive and will not be had into extremes. I They net promptly and with decision but they revere the Constitution, the laws, 'and will not turn their backs upon the I men who have served them faithfully and (well. The Alliauce is a great organiza tion. It is destined to accomplish much good. Let it ever move in conservative I channels, and the inherent justice of its cause will prove the motive power to di "fe ieet it to victory N. C. Ltt-llt':j-ncer. f QUICKEST ON RECORD.

L Polk was introduced by Mr. Rogers, aud delivered his annual address. After a few congratulatory tsonteuces he said: Profoundly impress ed with the magnitude of this great revo lution for reform, involving issues mo mentous and stupendous iu their charac ter, as affecting the present and tuture welfare of the people, the public mind is naturally directed to this meeting with Hixious interest, if not solicitude, and you canpot be unmindful of the importance ud responsibility that attach to your ac tion, as representatives, coming troin States and localities remote from each other in their material and physiological characteristics and marked by those so cial and political differences which must necessarily arise under our form ot gov ernment. It is your gracious privilege as it shall be vour crownin' powir to prove to the world, by your harmonious action and thoroughly fraternal co-operation, that your supreme purpose is to meet tho demands of patriotic duty in a spirit of equity and justice. He then congratulated the Alliance on its achieve ments since the last meeting and review ed the causes of agricultural depression. He declared that this depression is an i . .1. P ! 1 . 1 anomaly to tnc tiuueni oi inuusiriai progress. "Retrogression in American agriculture, he said, "means national decay, and powerful and promising as is tins young mailt llepublic, yet us power and glory touch not the degradation of the American farmer. the alarm inci dent to the centralization of the money power and the upbuilding of monopolies, was then pointed out and both politi cal parties were condemned for forcing and encouraging this condition With reference to extending i he order Presi- Jent Polk urged that additional organiz ers be sent at once into Oregon, Washing ton, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Ari zona, and other States. Among his iee oinuiendations was one that an organ ization he formed to be known as the Na tion Legislature, composed of the nation al president and the presidents of all the State Alliances, their duty being to look closely after the leu'islative reform de manded by the Alliance, both iu the State legis'uture and inCmgres-; He recommended changes in the Constitu tion, and recited demands to be made in tho way of financial, laud, election aud tax reforms. He deprecated sectionalism and closed with an eloquent appeal for national harmony. As outlining the fu ture financial policy of the Alliance, President Polk said it will demand th restoration of silver to all the rights aud qualities of legal tender which gold pos sesses; tho issue of government currency direct to the people, the eoualizition of taxes, the prohibition of the alieu owner ship of land, the ownership and control of the transporation lines by the govern ment. a limit of the public revenues to the economic administration of the gov ernmeut, the graduated taxation of in comes, and the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the peopl The National tanners Alliauce at Ocala, Fla., last week passed a resolution unanimously, protestiug against the pas- sago of the Force bill and requested Sen ators "to use all fair means to defeat the unpatiiotic measure which can result in nothing but evil to our cotumou and be loved country. The reasons for the resolution as giveu in the preamble are that the bill involves radical revolution in the election machiii cry of the United States, both State and National, and that its passage will be fa tal to the autonomy of the States ami cherished liberties cUlz.:ll'; th it it H partisan in spirit and will be partisan in its application, thus revitalising the gory ghost of sectional estrangement.

NOW A From a pamphlet entitled "Illustrated Boston, the metropolis of New England," published by the American Publishing and Engraving Company, 102 Chambers street, N. Y., we take the following sketch of J. H. Lewis, colored, a native of this county: The history of the tailor's art in Bos ton must start with the name of J. II. Lewis. He is the recognized leader of the trade in the city, and a tower of strength in advancing its mercantile in terests. Mr. Lewis was born in North Carolina, .came to New Hampshire at an early age and learned the tailor's trade, and subsequently settled in Boston where he perfected bis knowledge of every de tail of the business, and established him self in 1872 on Oakes street in a compai atively small way. He early catered to the best class of custom, executing the finest and most artistic work, and by his industry, enterprise and splendid acquire ments in his profession he soon secured a fine, growing, first class trade that ulti mately gave him the pre eminence which he now enjoys, and w hich he so honestly deserves. In 1882 he opened his preseut establishment at No. 417, Washington street, between Broomfield aud Winter streets, which is justly regarded as the finest tailoring house in Boston, ihe furnishings and appointments of the spac ious rooms are all in elegant taste, such as become the high character which the es tablishment enjoys, while every conveni ence is afforded for display, inspection and sale. Here is exhibited the largest and finest stock of clothes and trimmiugs ever brought to Boston. It is complete in material, design and novelty and gives tho limit of manufacture in high class roods Many of the patterns are made exclusively for this house, while the very best sources of American and European production have contributed to the wealth ot the display. In the basement is located the cutting department, in which only the most skilled and expert artists and designers are em ployed. Mr. Lewis devotes Ins time and talents to fine custom work only, and the garments here made to measure are real ized by critics and connoisseurs every where as the perfection of style, fit and artistic workmanship. He is the persoui fication of activity in directing the affairs ot his houses, and every article made is forced to pass the critical test of his ex animation lo be found among his permanent customers are many of the best dressed citizens, collegians and business men of Boston, gentlemen young and old, who understand the merits of a thoroughly first class tailor, and who find in Mr. Lewis' establishment not only a line of goods that is at all times superior, but where the general make-up, lit and trim ming of a garment is a matter of careful consideration and study. When it is learned that constant cm plovment is given to a force of tailors ranging from one hundred and fifty to two hundred, and that the trade of the house demands theirserviccs.the immense business that is heie transacted can be somewhat appreciated. Mr. Lewis is still in the prime of life and a true type of a s4f made man, who has risen bv his own exertions to a prom iocnee and popularity iu his business of which he has every reason to be proud BIG EARS. THE nULINO iSKSN OK BKAUTV AMONO THE WOMEN OF BORNEO. Among the tribes of Borneo the' men and women wear very little clothing, The former always carry tho arms. They are very war like and always ready to pick a quarrel, especially when intoxiw ted by a beverage which they nianufae ture Irom the loot of a peculiar tree. They have a custom like that, of the American Indian. They always preserve the heid of their victim as a trophy Hence tho name '"Head Hunters." As veiny us fifty human skulls often hang from a native's roof. The Dyak tribe women have a liking for particular murks. They consider it a great addition to one's beauty to have the lobe of the ear touch the shoulder. They pierce the ear and attach heavy weights to hold it down. The weight is gradually increased. Should the ear break, no greater misfortune could hap pen. They believe that a great spirit exists iu the did, rent, kind" of birds that abound on the islaud Tlie Dyaks have a certain code of traditional laws, according to which all crimes are punished and their vaiious disputes settled.
