The Morning Star. Sf WXLLIAI3 H. BEBNAHP. WILMINGTON, N. C. EVENING EDITION. " Tuesday, May 8, 6 P. M. THE TARIFF ITV THE HOUSE. The Democrats in the House are in earnest. They are in such constant communication with the people at home that they know nothing short of a strong, earnest effort to reform abuses and reduce taxes will satisfy their constituents. The debate thus far has been clearly favorable, we have no doubt, to the Tax Reform' ers. The Democratic absentees have all been summoned to Washington to decide the course of the party in the great matter of Tariff reconstruction and reduction. The question to be determined is how long the discus sion snail continue, and what amend ments are needed. The Washington Bpecial to the Charleston Nevos and Courier, dated the 6th inst., ays: "From the Democratic speeches that have already been delivered it is apparent that certain amendments will have to be made to the Mills bill, How far it should be amended is one of the questions the caucus must determine, as it is the desire of the friends of Tariff reform to come to an amicable agreement on this subject before the general debate closes, so that they will be prepared to vote together when the pre vious question is demanded. It is quite evident that the Republicans propose to try .and delay a final vote on the bill as long as possible, and they will also assist in delay ing, if possible, the consideration of the general appropriation bills beyond the pre sent fiscal year. The majority do not pro pose to permit anything of the kind." If Randall and his little band of kickers were not in the way there would be no doubt of the passage of -the bill in the House. If the Demo crats should fail it will be on account of Randall, bat it mast be after all possible effort to secure its passage. Randall may kill reform again as he has done thrice before but he will v still remain a favorite with a certain -I class of newspapers that still shout down with the War Tariff and re duce the surplus. " If the Democratic bill is not what the decided Reformers would like to have it is moving on the safe and di rect lines. There are many things that should be added to the free list, and the tax on many necessaries v should Tie reduced still farther ; and better equalized, bat as whole the bill is a aafa and sound one, and is a move in the way of reform aod tax-reduction and burden lifting. The bill is not in any sense a Free -': Trade measure. It is tpo moderate ' and conservative to satisfy the more " aggressive and earnest Reformers. The game of the Republicans from the first was to obstruct, to prevent : -all legislation. In this Sam Randall 1'; plays intolheir hands with special 1 activity. If it is possible to stave off final paction by debate, "the Re - publicans will strive to do this. ' The game of Talk is being play- ed. : It w for the Detnocrats to say how ; long shall tjiis continue. - fThe dharlestl - ' r-rt-2etlyjiu il place, and under the manly action of the President, the tariff has become the great issue in the present canvass. The Repub licans will try some Bide questions, of course, but the fight will be won or lost on the tariff line. There is no doubt of the public-verdict; but the Demecratio party cannot be expected to be well disciplined and bold in the canvass, if there are di visions at the voting time in Congress, and if every Demouat who has some pet notiorr ol preferred interest insists on voting against the majority of the party a course which not enricheth him in any way, and makes the Democracy itself poor indeed." ' "This is the view that we take of the tariff business. Thrreia more agreement' of Qpinion upon the subject in the country - A. 1 1 I . . . a. mis ums .nan mere ever nas neen De fore. It is shown in the declarations of the State Conventions. There is a won drous example of it a living, burning ex ample across the Savannah river. Even the Atlanta Constitution, which a little while ago was prepared to reduce Senator Colquitt to the ranks, because he is a low tariff man, has now thrown up its hands, and promised that it will go with the party on the tariff Question." A BOIEF NOTE. For a great many yearB there has been a publication in England of much interest and value known as Notes and -Queries. Messrs. W. S. & H. C. Walsh, of Philadelphia, have caught the idea and utilized it for American ends. The first number of American Notes and Queries is be fore us. It is intended as a medium of inter communication for literary men, general readers, &c. The price is $3 a year, weekly, or 10 cents a number. Octavo size, 12 pages. It promises well. On page 7, we find this: " T. C. H. asks if there is a place called Croatan.' No, it is the name of a tribe of Indians, now extinct, once resident in Vir ginia. The word acquired a strange inter est in colonial history. The first English colony, sent to America by Sir Walter Ra leigh, under the auspices of Sir Richard Grenville, settled on Roanoke Island near Albemarle Sound in 1587. When provi sions grew low, Grenville and Governor Whyte returned to England for supplies, the latter leaving behind as a pledge of his return his little granddaughter. Virginia Dare, the first English child born in Amer ica, &c." We copy this to say that Albe marle Sound and Roanoke Island are in North Carolina. There was a battle fought during the late war on Roanoke Island. Virginia Dare has been honored by the Legislature of North Carolina by calling a oonnty in honor of her. This is the county where people travel after the style of Venicians in boat, the county being made up mainly of islands. The Republicans in the House have been bo loudly and vigorously denounced as obstructionists that they are beginning to feel a sense of shame. The talk now is that under McKinley's lead a Tariff bill will be offered by the Protectionists. They begin to realize that the over-burdened and unwisely taxed people are fearfully in earnest in their demand for relief. The New York Star does not give a very encouraging ao count of Mclftnley's success with his brother Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee. It says: "The Republican party is so widely di vided on the question of taxation reform that Air. McKlnley found it impossible to secure agreement between the five Repub lican members of the Ways and Means Committee, even to a measure having no prospect of passage, and only designed for political effect. If the Ohio protectionist should succeed in bringing his four col leagues into line, he will still find it impos sible to secure the assent of Republican Congressmen generally." It is a divided as well as a rotten party. Ingalls in his last performance in the Senatorial circus charged that there was a call for. 100,000 Ken tuckians to be in Washington in 1877 at the inauguration. This is the old story so often told by lying newspapers, and so often repeated by not very scrupulous politicians and demagogues for party effect. The able editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal contradicts the version. There was never a procla mation issued. The lie originated in a conciliatory speech made by Mr. Watterson, which bad the f nil approval of Mr. Tilden. An interesting discovery has been made in Upper Egypt. Certain cu- niform (arrow-headed) tablets have been found, which aro of special in terest to Bible students. Prof. A. H. Sayce writes to the London Acad emy that the few tablets he has seen satisfy him that "the 'conquest of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar, so'loDg doubted, is now become a fact of history." There are other tablets that are locked up in the house of the Director of the French Arch seo logical Society at Cairo. THE PERIODICALS.

Ms. Emtob: The State Conven tion convenes on the SOth to nomi nate a candidate for Governor, and we ought to look over the field and choose the strongest andmost avail able man. In the opinion-of this writer Lieu tenant Governor Stedman has more elements of strength and fewer of weakness than any man now promi nently in the field. If the locality is to influence the nomination he has the advantage because he comes from the Cape Fear section whioh has not furnished a Governor since 1837. In my opinion we ought to recognize in our nomination every section of the State. NotbiDg tuods to strengthen the belief of the peo ple in the existence of rings and combinations mofe than to see one locality getting all the prizes. There has been too much of this in State and in county politics and it ought not to continue. If the nomi nation is to be given as a reward for party service I think that Mai. Stedman's claims are at least as weighty as those of any other man, for I do not believe that; there U a man in North Carobna who has done as much work for the party and has been so little rewarded as he. Since the war in every contest he has ever been engaged in the thickest of the fight. Not a campaign has passed wherein he has not done a giant,' part and the only reward he has ever received was a nomination for the Lieutenant Governorship of the State. The canvass which be made when a candidate for that position will long be remembered as one of the most effective ever made in North Carolina. To him was assign ed the duty of canvassing the coun ties whero tho party was demor alized and disorganized, and the election returns show that those counties gave the largest majorities of any in the State for the Demo cratic ticket. As a campaigner and as an organizer I believe he ha no equal in North Carolina. That is what we will need in this contest. The State must be -organized as it has never been before. Let lb fa be done and it will helD us not onlv in getting votes for the State ticket but it will help us in every local couuty contest. It will help us in Johnston county, and we may need Help Dadly. We will run no risk in nominating Stedman. lie went through a heated canvass in 1884, was the first in the field for the gubernatorial nomination this year, and all the searching scrutiny of political enemies and of opponents within his-own party has failed to discover one single act, public or private, or of one single utterance which would be discreditable to him as a man, or which would injure him as a candidate. He has been weighed io the political balances and not found wanting. Not only in the field of politics has his worth been tried, but as a soldier be 'showed (as I am informed by a prominent man, himself a hero,) a gallantry surpassed by no soldier in the glorious army of Northern Virginia. He volunteered in May 1861, was at Bethel, and stayed in the army until the immor tal Lee yielded up his sword at Appomattox- Better record oan no man have than that! Above all else the people of North Carolina demand that their Gover nor shall be a man unoontaminated with corporation influence, one who if need be would take sides with them and against the railroads, and such a man is Chas. M. Stedman. So scrupulous was he, that in 1884 when elected Lieutenant Governor, he re signed his position as general coun sellor the Wilmington fc Weldon Railroad Company, and has not since aocepted a retainer from it, although his' salary as. its attorney was many times greater than his salary as Lieu tenant Governor. A man whose sense of honor is as high as that, ie worthy of the peo ples trust! - We must have a man from the east ajgood campaigner -an undoubt: ed Democrat a good 6oldier a man whose record will bear the closest scrutiny, and a man who will not be influenced by corporations or mo nopolies to swerve one iota from his duty, and I know 410 man in the raoe who is so completely the embodi ment of all these requisites as Charles M. Stedman, of New Hanover. Let the people of Johnston fall in line and swell the already long line of counties which have decided to cast their votes for, him. ; i ' , t -x ...; ? .,.

The fear that Stanley. and his ex pedition have -come to -grief is be ginning once more to find expression in print." The Standard to-day has a very pessimistic leader, in which" the chances, against his success are summed up, with diaoouraging length and logic. ' A memorial window to Bishop .Matthew Simpson, paid for by American admirer, is about to be placed in the famous cradle of Methodism m the' City Road Chapel, whero John Wesley preached and iu .the adjoining house to which he died. The locality is consecrated todiaeeot, not only on Wesley's account, but opposite hichurch is Bunhill Fields, where Bunyan, Defoe, Watts, all of Cromwell'ri children, John Wilkes, Dr. Hart William Blake, Susannah and Charles Wesley, and many thousands of other non-conformists are buried. The window represent .Elisha receiving the falling mantle of Elijah, and is said to be an artistic success. John Wesley was brought op in an unexpected way in the latest Par hamentary volume of the "Historical Manuscript Collection," in which are family documents in the possession of the Earl of Darmouth. They go back to the first peer's father, who was an intimate friend of Charles I., and are brought up to 1800. In this portion of the volume is a letter from Wesley, who was then on his way to Ireland, dated June 14, 1775, and protesting against Eng land's course toward the oolonies. He begins by saying: "All my preju dices are against the Americans, for I am a High Churchman, bred up from ohildhood in the bight notions of passive obedience and non-resistance, and yet, in spite of all my root ed prejudice, I cannot avoid think ing, if I think at all, that an op pressed people are asking for noth ing more than their legal rights, and that in the most modest acd inoffensive manner which tho naturo of the thing would allow." In subsequent paragraphs Wesley points out the likelihood of Eng land's being invaded via Ireland if she wastes her fighting energies- in America, groans over the astonish ing luxury of the rick and the pro faneness of the rich and poor, and concludes with an exhortation: "For God's sake, for the sake of the King, of the nation, of your lovely family, remember Reboboam, remember Philip II., remember King Charles I." Mr. Sala's autobiography, which has been heralded for a long time, will finally appear in September, and is expected to be the book of the season, alike for its gossip about London men and women of two generations and its impressions of foreign countries. I get a hint that the American section of the book will excite a good deal of criticism on the other side. The most important musical event of the season was the appearance at tho Philharmonic Society of Edward Greig, the great Norwegian. He will be remembered as the intimate friend of Ole Ball, as there is much writteu about him in the memoir of the old violinifjt. Greig's works have been well known in England. Helen Crosmond, who shot her self dead in a "growler" cab, was a daughter of the celebrated Mme. Raohel. The deceased took high honors at the Royal Aoidemy of Music and afterwards became a pu pil of Racdegger. She subsequently married a commercial traveller named Turner, who blew out his brains. CUHRRNT COMMENT. Miss Rives is a woman of an exuberant, vigorous imagination that has had loose rein in afield the doubt ful oharacter of which she did not herself probably realize. It was a mistake of youthful freedom, whioh it is not at all to be believed goes deeper. In the meantime it is to be remembered that this very audacity in the very product of a talent that is exceptional, and which, better di rected, has already produced some of the most promising things in later literature. JSoston Herald. When Pennsylvania laid down, for awhile, the reins and whip of protective taxes, Kentucky took them up and drove the protective tax team nearly aver the precipice in 1828. In 1881 and afterward Penn sylvania, by Carey, Kelley . and Thompson, encouraged by civil war, again took up the protective tax whip acd reins and mounted the box and are now nagging the great WeBt into revolt. New York has never had part or lot in the initiation or execution of the deviltry. N. Yt Star, Dem. There is no doubt that Mr. Ingalls has sounded the key note of the campaign for the Republican party. Nothing could be clearer than the determination of that party to avoid the living issues of the day and seek a return to power, by renewing sectional animosities, and starting again the long-laid ghosts of the dead past. The resolution passed by the Indiana Republican Convention is sufficient corroboration. The Re publican party, being in a drowning condition, clutches this straw with desperation. That "it will fail to save it is most sure. The attention of the people cannot be diverted from the splendid record of this Democratic administration by waving the bloody shirt. They perceive that it has brought peaoe and prosperity to the countryj and they .will - in November express their approval of its course by re electing Mr. Cleveland to the Presidency.

Two hundred and six delegates from forty-one Annual Conferences, representing every State in the Union, Canada, Barmuda and the Demerara Islands make up the official rosier of Ihe Conference. Among theee are the leading spirits of the Church, in cluding many men of more than national reputation. Bishop Wayman led in prayer, and Bishops Turner and Disney conducted further religious exercises. M. E. Bryant, of Selma. Ala , acted as organizing secretary, and called the roll of Conference, when it was developed that there were many contesting delegates. Some of the delegates insisted upon imme diate verification of their credentials, but Bishop Campbell, who was in the chair at the time, ruled that all those cases must go to the Committee on Credentials. Rev. J.' W. CasawajT, pf&tor of the church in which the Conference is meeting, welcomed the delegates. He said that the Governor and Auditor of the State, and ' 'noble Harrison." had sent words of wel come, accompanied by substantial help. This information was received with ap plause, and Mr. Harrison's name particu larly was enthusiastically received. On behalf or the Conference Dr. James A. Hardy, of Baltimore, and Dr. T. Tan ner, of Philadelphia, returned thanks of the welcome. The afternoon ceremonies were celebrated by Bishops Payne and Wayman. FOREIGN.

May 8 William Showers, under sentence of death for the murder of his two grandchildren, escaped from jail hvte some time during last night. His cell was discovered empty between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning. He dug a hole through a solid stono wall, and lowered himself from the opening with a rope made from pieces of a blanket. Showers is seventy years old, and how he escaped de tection io town after his escape from prison is a great mystery, as the jail is situated in the very heart of the city. The aged prisoner must have been digging at the wall for some time past. He left behind him two letter, one addressed to his coun sel.

"Oh, no; we are friends," 'laughed Senator Blackburn; "ain't we?" turn ning to Mr. Ingalls. "Yes," replied the Senator from Kansas with that peculiar edge which shows through every tone; "oh, yes; we are friends here." Syrup of Figs Is Nature's own true laxative.
