THE CONSPIRACY PROGRESSES.
When the ."lt Congress met a
conspiracy was entered into to re
tain control of Congress, and secure
the election of a Republican Presi
dent to succeed Mr. Harrison. Xo
one who has given the slightest at
tention to the course pursued by the
majoritv in both branches of Con
gress, on all questions of a political
character, could for a moment doubt
that such a conspiracy was entered
into.
The Senate was uncomfortably
close. The change of one State
would have made it Democratic. To
guard against a contingency of this
kind it was resolved to add some
more Republican Senators. This
was done by splitting Dakota in
two. making two States out of it,
and at the same time taking in
Montana and Washington, thus se
curing eight Republican Senators
and tour members of the House of
Representatives. Wyoming and Ida
ho wiil be taken in also, making four
more Senators, twelve in all. and two
more Representatives: twelve Sena
tors and six Representatives by a
legislative enactment in pursuance
of the conspiracy.
The House of Representatives
was uncomfortably close also, and it
was resolved to increase the majori
ty there. To do this it was neces
sary to unseat Democrats and seat
Republican contestants. To do this
it was necessary to render the mi
nority powerless to oppose it, and
this was done by making Speaker
Reed dictator, and by the set of
revolutionary rules adopted putting
it in his power to count a ma
jority by counting a quorum, in op
position to all former usage of the
House. In this way with a dozen
Republican votes they could count
in any Republican contestant, and
thus they have stolen four seats
from the Democrats, and will in all
probability steal four or five more
out of the remaining contested cases.
This gives them a sure working ma
jority for this Congress; but they
wanted to get a grip on the next
Congress as well.
As matters stood the outlook was
not encouraging for the election of
a majority of Republicans for the
o'ind Congress. Ohio had gone
Democratic, and a Democratic Gov
ernor and Legislature took the place
of a Republican Governor and Legis
lature. Iowa had become almost
revolutionized and with a Democratic
Governor lacked but a few votes of
controlling the Legislature. Illinois,
Wisconsin and Michigan were each
showing signs of breaking out of the
Republican ranks. The .indications
pointed to the defeat of many of the
Republicans now holding seats and
to the election of Democrats to suc
ceed them.
Ohio had been gerrymandered by
'the Republican Legislature so that
the Republicans could elect sixteen
out of the twenty-one Congressmen.
The State law requires that the Le
gislature redistrict the Congressional
districts, and this meant a loss of Re
publican members. To prevent this,
and also to offset any loss that might
be incurred in the doubtful States,
the next step in the conspiracy was
taken, culminating in the election
bills to give the Federal Government,
which now means the Republican
party, control of the Congressional
elections.
Sereral bills were drafted for this
nnrnose. One bv Senator Hoar, an-
, uor- k,- rnntrrpssman Wickham and
another bv Congressman McComas
t nrvrnt crerrvmanderine. with elec-
tion bills by Senator Sherman, Con-
crrm Honk and Lodsre. each
while Dretendine to be general in its
application intended for use especial-
lv in the South, the only section in
which such laws will be used to any-
considerable extent.
The Washington dispatches of Sat
urday report that the House Com
mittee on the election of President
nnfi Vire-Prpsident and members of
Congress have on a party vote de
cided to recommend the McComas
bill as amended, a svnopsis of which
appeared in the Star of Sunday, the
amendments embracing the essential
nf the Lodire and Houk
hi!U ..nil wine other Doints which
were embraced in none of the origi
nal bill
It is a revolutionary measure from
besnnniner to end. for it interferes
o
with the districting of the Congres
sional districts with which the Gov
ernment of the United States has no
more right to meddle than it has to
prescribe how the State Senatorial
districts shall be divided, or how the
townshios in a county shall be laid
t
off.
It is an ex nost facto law in as far
1
as it provides that it shall apply to
the States notwithstanding any State
laws that may have heretofore been
passed to the contrary, and it de
stroys the right of the State to cer
tify to what representatives have
been elected by establishing a re
turning board whose certificate of
election is regarded as a valid cer
tificate. Under this law, if carried
out in the spirit in which it is passed.
the Republicans have it in their
power to count in Republicans when
ever they see fit to do so, and the
election officers appointed under it
will understand what they are ap
pointed tor. 1 he conspiracy pro
gresses.
MINOR MENTION.
On his return from his Southern
visit Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, of
New York, was given a public recep
tion in Chattanooga last Wednesday,
and made a speech in which, speak
ing of the progress of the South,
many of the evidences of which he
witnessed in his travels, and of the
bright prospects before her, he re
gretted that he had never visited her
before, but had only studied her
from a distance. But he had learned
enough in his short visit, from his
contact with the Southern people
and studying their sentiments and
methods of life, to come to the con
clusion that "in all the elements con
stituting good citizenship, honest
patriotism and intelligence there was
no difference" between them and the
Northern people. Personal observa
tion is a great educator and some
times a powerful dissipator of pre
conceived notions based either upon
prejudice or ignorance, and in this
instance it has rendered for Mr. De
pew a service which it would perform
for nine out of ten of intelligent, fair-
minded Northern men who followed
his example, and travelled with their
eyes and ears open. There are
thousands of Northern men iust
ike Mr. Depew, who, though
bright and intelligent, and some of
them even brilliant, like Mr. Depew,
who have studied the South from a
distance, studied it from the stand
point of prejudice, the result of early
training and education, and who
formed all their opinions second
hand, without any knowledge of their
own. Many of these are leaders of
the public, speak from their ignor
ance and prejudice, and hence the
sectional feeling which prevails in
the North to-day. It is astonishing
the amount of ignorance that exists
throughout the North, not only
among the masses, but among those
who lead the masses, of the South
ern people and the condition of
affairs in the South. Of course there
are many of these leaders who un
derstand the Southern people and
the Southern situation fully, but for
partisan purposes they persist in mis
representing both, knowing full well
that they must deceive the people to
retain the power which otherwise
would long ago have slipped from
their grasp.
The Republican party in Iowa and
Kansas is being split up on the pro
hibition question, while the tariff
question is also playing an important
part as a disintegrator. Kansas is
so overwhelmingly Republican that,
notwithstanding these divisions, the
Republicans will retain control of the
State for some time to come, but in
Iowa, with two factions of the Re
publicans in the field on the prohibi
tion question, and with the defections
from the party on account of the
tariff, the prospects are very fair for
the Democrats to capture the State
and turn her into the Democratic
column before the next Presidential
election. Causes are also at work in
Illinois, Wisconsin and other Western
States which holdout bright pros-
pects for Democratic success in those
States. This accounts in a great
measure for the election laws which
have been concocted to save the next
Congress to the KepuDiicans inruugu
the instrumentality of Republican
returning boards.
The United States Senate usually
moves with a good deal of delibera
tion, but it must not be taken for
granted because this is so that it
can't hustle about lively and rush
things when it wants to. I he tact
that it put through one hundred and
thirtpfn nrivate bills in one hour
......
Saturday is ample proof that it can.
The Clerk of ttye Senate, who read
those bills, nearly two a minute,
earned his dinner that day, although
it is doubtful if after working his
jaws at that lightning speed for
sixtv minutes, he was in a condition
j r
to masticate the edibles with any
degree of comfort. Fortunately for
him the Senate don't take spurts of
that kind often.
STATE TOPICS.
For several days Tarboro has been
excited over some mysterious spirit
rappings in response to the calls of a
yung lady who unexpectedly found
herself endowed with the power to
commune with the departed spirits,
which at her call rapped and rapped
very much. It was a mystery to
those who heard the rapping and
quite as much of a mystery to the
young lady herself, and it remained
a mystery until a certain demure, but
mischievous young lady owned up
that she was the spirit which was do
ing the rapping and having lots of
fun out of it.
The Greensboro Workman an
nounces that there will be a grand
rally at Greensboro on the 23d and
24th of July of all the Farmers' Alli
ances in that section of the State,
and that at the meeting of the sub
alliances of the county last Friday a
committee was appointed to arrange
for it. Speakers of national promi
nence will be thereto do the talking.
It was suggested sometime ago by
the Progressive Farmer that the Alli
ances of the State have a rally at
Greensboro next summer, and it is
very likely that this idea will be fol
lowed out. The Alliance in North
Carolina has within its ranks some of
the best men in the State.
CURRENT COMMENT.
We do not state it authorita
tively, but we have good reason to
believe that the next time Mr. Mc-
Kinley undertakes to prepare a tariff
bill he will have a rabbit's foot in
his pocket or a hoodoo bag around
his neck. N. O. States, Dem.
Had not Senator Sherman
devoted a long life to championing
and encouraging industrial monopo
lies, the public might have given
him some credit for sincerity in his
Anti-Trust bill, whatever should be
said of the measure itself. When a
statesman is so wanting in discern
ment as not to foresee the evils of
the policy he has advocated, little
confidence can be placed in his rem
edies. Phil. Record, Dem.
The present House of Repre
sentatives is composed of 330 mem
bers. It is thought that the next
House will comprise 355, that is if
Idaho and Wyoming are admitted in
time. There is a movement looking
to the passage of an apportionment
bill soon after the figures from the
new census are obtainable. If the
apportionment is made by a special
session, as proposed by some Repub
lican, the measure can be carried out
by twenty-five Legislatures which
meet in January, 1891. If passed as
late as March 1, 1891, the Legisla
tures of thirty-odd States would
have to be called in special session
in order to comply with the provi
sions of the act before the Presiden
tial election. The Electoral College,
under the basis of 355 members of
the House, would be 443, and the
successful candidate would have to
receive at least 222 votes. Wash.

A TARIFF POEM.
In Which There is a Good Deal More
Truth, than Poetry.
Kingman (Kan) Democrat.
He sat at his door at noonday,
lonely and gloomy and sad, brooding
over the price of his corn crop and
figuring how much he had. He had
worked from early springtime, early
and late and hard, and he was count
ing his assets and figuring out his
reward. He figured that it took two
acres to buy his two boys new boots,
and ten acres more on top of this to
fit them out with new suits. To buy
his wife a protected dress took one
hundred bushels more, while five
acres went in a solid lump for the car
pet on the floor His tax and his
grocery bill absorbed his crop of
oats, while the interest on his
farm mortgage took all his fat
tened shoats. The shingles on
his cowshed and the lumber
for his barn had eaten up his beef
steers and the balance of his corn.
So he sat in his door at noonday,
lonely and gloomy and sore, as he
figured up his wealth a little less
than it was the year before. "By
gum, they say I'm protected, but I
know there's something wrong; I've
been deceived and gulled and hood
winked by this high-protection song.
They told of rebellious traitors, and
held up the bloody rag, and 1 tol
lowed along like a pumpkin, and
now I am holding the bag. But from
this time on I'll investigate, , and get
to the bottom of facts, and I'll bet
$4 to begin with that the tariff is a
tax.
AFRICA.
The Fiiscinations it Presents

Traveller.
Boston Traveller.
The fact that Emin Pasha, who
was rescued from his perilous posi
tion in Eastern Africa by Stanley,
after experiences still more perilous,
if possible, and brought back to
civilization almost by force, now an
nounces his intention of returning
and attempting to capture his lost
province in the Soudan, raises the
question as to wherein lies the fasci
nating attraction of the Dark Con
tinent to explorers. Once a man has
entered the wilds of Africa, civiliza
tion seems to have lost its attractive
ness for him. Livingstone, the mis
sionary and explorer, buried himself
alive in the heart of Africa, and
nrinlfl nnt inHnfprl rr 1fn7 it
and died there while pursuing his
work. General Gordon, with a perti
nacity' amounting to fanaticism, held
his ground in Khartoum, defying the
Arab rebels and utterly refusing to
seek safety, until he fell a victim to
treachery and overwhelming num
bers. Wm. Taylor, having preached
the Gospel in every portion of the
globe, seems to have found content
at last in his self-supporting missions
far up the Congo; while Stanley him
self, prematurely aged by the inde
scribable hardships of successive ex
peditions and explorations, would,
without doubt, welcome another
journey, despite its dangers. Enter
prise, daring, the search for the un
known, has still its attractions and
human nature has not changed since
the days of Columbus, Cortez and
Sir r rancis Drake.

tne late IN. C. Hoiden and "Uncle"
Phil Hoyne, who were great friends.
The former was running for Mayor
on. the temperance issue and the
morning of the election day, as
"Uncle" Phil was riding down in the
micci car, ne was accosted Dy a
casual acquaintance of the candidate
for the Mayoralty, who said: "Look
here, Holden, I understand that you
are a prohibitionist and if that is so
I don't want to vote for you; but if
you believe in a fellow taking an oc
casional drink when he feels like it I
shall vote for you." "Uncle" Phil,
with a merry twinkle in his eye,
stopped the car and with the voter
repaired to the nearest saloon, where
they had refreshments and nailed
another vote for Holden.

Having passed several sleepless nights,
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow s Soothing Syrup
was just the article needed, procured a
supply for the child. On reaching home
and acquainting his wife with what he
had done, she refused to have .it admin
istered to the child, as she was strongly
in favor of Homcepathy. That night
the child passed in suffering, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the
baby still worse; and while contempla
ting another sleepless night, the mother
stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he
administered a portion of the Soothing
byrup to the baby, and said nothing.
That night all hands slept well, and the
little fellow awoke in the morning bright
and happy. 1 he mother was delighted
with the sudden and wonderful change,
and although at first offended at the de
ception practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering
crying babies and restless nights have
disappeared. A single trial of the by
rup never yet failed to relieve tne baby.
