SJy WILLIAJI II. KEKN AIiS. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morning, Dec. 2-1, 1891 A BAD STAET. The action of Speaker Crisp in offering the second place on the , Ways and Means Committee to Mr. Mills is differently viewed by the respective friends of these gentle men, the friends of Mr. Mills con sidering the offer as an affront to the distinguished Texan, while the friends ot the Speaker say that he was under no obligations to Mr. Mill's, who has shown a pouting, sulking disposition ever since he was defeated for the Speakership. nr. j 4. tt.:i ' ii. . tut- n t : 1 1 VC UU UUL LU1UK. L licit IVllllb has shown that lofty, chivalric spirit that might have been expected, and perhaps he has let his wounded pride get away with his better judgment, and he may haye intimated too broad ly that he would not accept the chairmanship of the Committee on Ways and Means, as has been al leged, but these are all reasons why Speaker Crisp should have moved with great deliberation and caution, and have exercised the utmost discretion -and policy m deal ing with his sore and disappointed competitor, not simply for the pur pose of placating him, but to avoid ,a conflict with his friends who have stood so devotedly by him and make his real or imaginary grievance their grievance. Mr. Mills as an in dividual is one man ; Mr. Mills as the representative of a certain line of party policy, with a strong follow ing in Congress and in the Demo cratic party -outside of Congress, is another. As the former he stands for himself ; as the latter for a great many. If Speaker Crisp had looked at both sides of the question before he wrote . that note to Mr. Mills he might never have written it, for it gave Mr. Mills the opportunity to write '. a very cutting but at the same time a very mod erately phrased answer, which, moderate as . it was, showed how deeply he felt, and had a sting in it. Speaker Crisp could not, and doubt less did not expect him to accept the second place on the committee which was offered him, for few men, even : with less self-esteem than Mr. Mills, would accept a second place where they had held the first, nor did he expect him to name some other com mittee upon which he would like to serve as chairman. He might have felt, and doubtless did feel reason ably sure that Mr. Mills would de cline, as he did. "He might also have felt as reasonably sure, after the in timations that- had been so current ly reported,1 that Mr. Mills would also have declined the first place if it had been tendered to him, and he, therefore, if he was going to play the part of policy and insincerity by offering him a second place, coupled with another offer as an inducement to accept it, might with perfect safety have offered him the first place, and thrown the responsibility upon Mr. Mills of refusing it. It would have been better for him and for the party to have taken the chances of Mills' accepting the appointment, while the indications were all the other way, than to have put himself in the po sition of being rebuffed by the curt refusal of an offer which did no credit to his sagacity and was lack ing in respect for his distinguished competitor. Placing Springer before Mills, un der the circumstances, looks, to say the least of it, like paying him for that decisive vote which settled the contest between Crisp and Mills and gave Mr. Crisp the Speakership. We would not do Speaker Crisp the in justice tb say that this was hismo tive, but his action gives ground for that suspicion, and doubtless that is the construction that Mr. Mills and his friends put upon it. We know there are a good many Democrats who do not think that Mr. Mills :was the man. to put at the head of the Ways and Means Com mittee, and they are not influenced in this opinion by any personal dis like for Mr. Mills. There are many, also, who do not believe that Mr. Springer is the man who should be there. They believe that Mr. Sprin ger will be toq much of a trimmer, while the others believe that Mr. Mills would be too extreme. There are those outside and inside of Con gress who believe this way, and the difficulty now will be to reconcile these and bring them harmoniously together. The Democratic party is greater than Sptaker Crisp, Mr. Mills or Mr. Springer and it must not be made to suffer from the ambitions, disappoint ments, resentments, or missteps of any one man, and whatever these ambitions, disappointments or re sentments may have been or may be they should be sunk, buried, lost sight of and forgotten in zealous de votion to the cause of the people which is greater than the man, and to the unselfish, faithful performance of the duties imposed upon them by the great party whose representa tives they are and which placed its trust in them when it sent them to fill the seats which 4bey now occupy. It did not send them to Congress to fight for Mr. Crisp, nor Mr. Mills, nor Mr. Springer, nor Mr. McMillin, nor Mr. Hatch, Smith, Jones nor Brown, each and every one of whom is very small compared with it. They should remember this and that they are but trusted agents of a greater and a higher power, whose ' success must not be jeopardized by any un seemly bickerings or wrangling, whatever the personal, real or im aginary, grievances may be. MINOR MENTION. There must be something radical ly defective in the constituent ele ments of the average Russian. . As a people they seem to lack those gent ler impulses of humanity that all civ ilized and even some savage peoples possess to a greater or a less degree. The Government as an absolute des potism is based on the idea of force, its cardinal principle of rule being to inspire its subjects with awe andter ror, and command respect and obe dience by the infliction of cruel and heartless punishment, sometimes for the most trivial offences, and some times for acts which under the cir cumstances leading to their commis sion should not be regarded as of fences at all. This constantly stand ing in terror of the uplifted scourge has unmanned and brutalized the people, who fear the pettiest agent of the Government as they do the great grinding machine of torture at the center. Notwithstanding the fact that there are three or four millions of people in the famine-covered region . of Russia, who are star ying for . food, the - unpitymg Government tax, collectors made their accustomed .rounds, and deaf to the voice of distress, petitionings for indulgence, the wails and cries of famished mothers and children, these heartless devils forced the people who had anything to pay with to pay, and in many instances resorted to the barbarous knout to enforce payment. .Just now the ministers of the law are having starving men whipped to death or imprisoned for life for taking they call it stealing food to keep them alive, and almost as ghastly as this is the heartless mockery of the rich merchants of St. Petersburg, who refuse to contribute anything to the relief of their starving countrymen, and make a jest of their sufferings by dropping bits of tin and paper m the contribution boxes placed in the Corn Exchanges. In what noble contrast to this is the benevolence of the American millers, who, while these St. Petersburg merchants jeer at the. sufferings of their people, are sending them a ship-load of flour. There are some good Russians, but if there is any "good reason why the average run of them should be upon this earth they ought to be unmade and built over again. Are, the United States taking a hand in the Garza racket in Mexico ? A dispatch from Laredo, Texas, Tuesday, tells of an encounter be tween Mexican troops arid insurgents in which the latter were defeated, and concludes with the statement that.U. S. troops immediately left Laredo, to prevent the crossing of the insurgents into Texas. This may be all right, for Texas should neither be made a place of refuge nor a camping ground for Mexican insurgents or others who organize to make war upon a friendly neighbor; but just at this time one of the prin cipal causes of the estrangement be tween Chili and this country is the harboring in the United States Legation quarters of refugees, adherents of the overthrown usurper Balmaceda. Minister Egan regards them as "political refugees," and en titled to the protection which he is giving them, in which action he has been sustained by the Washington Administration. If Balmaceda's ad herents, whose cause was lost in bat tle, are "political refugees," entitled to the protection of the American flag, are not these Mexican defeated insurgents also "political refugees" who have aright to fly to American soil, and seek American protection ? Ihere may be a difference between the two cases, but if there be we confess that with the present lights before us we can't see it. There is no doubt that the Farm ers' Alliance has suffered severely as an organization with n the past twelve months, the membership hav ing fallen off very largely, and the contributions or assessments in pro portion. Several of the State Alli ances are in arrears and have no dis position to pay up. In some of the Western States the Alliance has been split, while in some of the' Southern States county sub-Alliances have surrendered their charters and dis solved. In Georgia it is admitted by Alliance organs that the member ship has fallen off within the past few months twenty-five percent., and the disintegration has also been going on in South Carolina. The Columbia State expresses the opinion that the membership is not half as strong as it was a year ago, and challenges proof that there are more than 30, 000 active members in the State, hThe reason for all this may be,found in the effort to convert the Alliance into a political machine, an annex of the third party, to boost the po litical fortunes of a few men who wished to use it as a tool to further their own selfish aims. We are not surprised at this, for we have said time and again that the effort to turn the Alliance into a political machine meant its destruction if persisted in. STATE TOPICS. Notwithstanding the low price of cotton, the scarcity of money, and the necessarily resultant dullness in business, most of our North Caroli na towns and cities look hopefully to the future,' and there are few of them in which the evidences of progress are not apparent. In some of them there is more house-building going on than ever before at this time of the year, while in others the indica tions are, judging from the contracts reported to be made, for a big build ing business in the spring. If with this our farmers will abandon the one crop idea, diversify their crops, raise their own bread stuffs and meat and become independent of Western granaries and slaughter pens, we may look for prosperity on the farm too. POLITICAL POINTS. It is a question whether Speaker Crisp has acted wisely in making Mr, Springer chairman of the Ways and Means Committee instead of Mr. Mills. His c&urse in this matter is certain to cause a great deal of dissatisfaction in the party. Savannah News, Dem. From "reciprocity" to "free wool" is but a step; We are not sur prised to see that some of our esteemed Protectionist contemporaries, having tnea a little tree trade, rind no particu lar objection to venturing a further ad vance. It is a season of education, and the labor of Tariff 1 Reformers has not been altogether wasted. Phil. Record, JUem. Assuming that it is settled that Mr. Blaine is willing and even desirous to withdraw from the Presidential race. the next question that will evidently arise is whether the Republican party can afford to permit him to withdraw. The same of politics is a cruel and un feeling one. When the pinch comes small -consideration is shown for the comfort or feelings of individuals. Wash. Star, Ind. A Chicago lover bet his girl that he could tell what she was thinkine of. He thought she was thinking of him, but she wasn t; rt was about Dr. Bull s Cough tsyrup, which had just cured her of a areaami cough. t LOVE'S LABOR LOST- She Was a "Nice Girl, but too Blooming Botanical. u 'She was a nice girl," Remarked ). Clarence Hyde to a New York Advertiser reporter,, "but she was too blooming botanical." "Her superfluity of knowieage on this point led to our parting, and I am going home shortly to bale up her pictures and letters-witn tne in tention of returning the same. It came about in this wise: Gwendolina I call her that simply to disguise her identity started in about, three months ago to experiment in horti culture. She had an idea ot graft ing: a niaht-bloommg radish on a chrysanthemum stalk, or something of that kind, and she turned tne Day window of the second-floor tront into an infant conservatory. The light affection which she formerly professed to have for me gradually shifted to the measly collection of stumps and sprigs which filled this apartment and when ever we were together her side of the conversation was generally composed of remarks of a botanical nature. One afternoon I called and found her in tears. As I had been purposely paying attention to her younger sister in the hope of bring ing Gwendolina to terms by rousing her. jealously, I fondly imagined that she was weeping at my neglect. "Gwendolina," I said, tenderly, taking her hand, "what is the trouble? rell me all?" "Clarence," she sobbed, "the musca florentium are destroying my solenta rudensis." The situation was a very distress ing one. "And the plant can't be saved," she continued, "unless the muscse are killed by tobacco smoke." I am not a smoker; I detest it. Up to that-awful day a pipestem, cigar ette, or cigar end had never touched my lips, but as the sacrifice hinted at might remove the coolness between us I determined to make it. "Gwendolina," I said, "provide the wherewith and I will smoke the naughty muscse into an early grave." We examined the plant and found it covered with minute parsites. Then she brought me her father's nice, strong, old briarwood pipe. A paper bag was pulled over the so lenta rudensis, a hole punched in it, and for the next half hour I puffed cyclones of smoke through this orfice. My sufferings were too awful for mere words, and at each mouthful of that terrible vapor I felt that the next would stretch me a prostrate corpse at Gwendolina s feet. Finally we removed the bag and found that the parasites had gone up the flume. I rose, pale and trem bling, expecting an outburst of fer vid thanks. "I didn't know you could be so useful," she murmured. "Do come around to-morrow and smoke the geraniums." She is still waiting. This is the first time I -have been out of my room since. CURRENT COMMENT. Speaker Crisp is just begin ning to realize the full meaning of Editor Watterson's statement that the present Congress is "dangerous ly democratic." There are not chairmanships and scarcely enough committees to go around. Chicago Mail, Dem. There is a danger that while this country is so disgusted with the nasty exposures in English high life it may forget that it has several very active divorce factories of its own running in which the cases come up so thick and fast that the newspa pers can hardly afford to notice them except at advertising rates. Phil. Times, Ind. The Rev. Thomas Dixon, in his pulpit observations' yesterday, neglected Christ Crucified and ser monized ably on the railroad ques tion. It is the opinion of Mr. Dixon that the management of our rail roads is a failure, and that the Gov ernment should proceed forthwith to take possession of them. It is un derstood that Mr. Dixon scorns to travel on a pass, or even on a ministerial half-rate ticket. N. Y. Advertiser, Ind. The President of a tin com pany in this country is quoted as saying that a steady stream of tin plate workers has Degun to flow to ward the United States from Wales. With imported sheet, iron, and im ported block tin, and lots of Welsh workmen to dip the one into the other, it will have to be admitted, even by the most hidebound and British-gold ..bought Free-Trader, that American tin is girding on its armor preparatory to knocking a sickening dent into the pauper tin of squalid Europe. Phil. Record, Dem. La Grippe Again. During the epidemic of La Grippe last season Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, proved to be the best remedy. Re ports from the many who used it con firm this statement. They were not only quickly relieved, but the disease left no bad after results.

The Description Given in Novels Not True to Life. Washington Post. Not much similarity is there be tween the cowboy as he is and the cowboy described in the yellow-covered, blood-and-thunder novel of the present day; and perhaps if the .youthful and ambitious portion of the rising generation of the East would stop to consider the dangers and privations of a Western frontier life there wouldbe fewer amateur Indian-slayers to leave a comfortable home in a vain effort to cover them selves with imaginary glory, but more likely with a realistic monnd of Texas sod. The cowboy, as a class, is how ever, a jolly good fellow, who arises, or rather rolls out, at 3:30 in the morning and works until dark, get ting his meals from the "chuck wagon," which drives over the prairies from the ranch house to wherever the boys may be at meal times, and those who think all he has to do is to pose and look romantic are mistaken. He works for $25 per month and lodging, gets paid once every six months, goes to town, blows in $50 for a saddle, $20 for a sombrero, $18 for a pair of boots and the rest for whisky. Then his fun commences. He is S lawless and fearless as can well be imagined, especially af ter "seeing the town." At the same time, if any one of the boys, no mat ter whether from his particular ranch or not, is in trouble financially or otherwise, he will give his last cent, and perform the other fellow's duties in addition to his own. So much for the sunny side of his life. Now for the other side. In the first place, cow punching is the most dangerous and hazardous undertaking one can imagine. The Texas steer is fond of lib erty, and as he never sees a man but that he is subjected to some sort of torture, he naturally learns to look upon the advent of the approach of man as the most baneful period of his life, and his first inclination is to stampede. The word "stampede" is too mild sounding to express the real terrors and dangers of a stampede of full blooded Texan steers. As one of the natives expressed it, "it is hell-a-mile."

There is one method and only one, by which this may be accomplished. Increased flow of blood to any part, produced by simple apparatus acting automatically, creates new tissue, tone and vigor by the same natural laws as the increase of size and strength of muscle. Don't be prejudiced because little quackspropose by silly means to do the same. INVESTIGATE. There's no trap back of onr offers. Our pay will come when the public knows clearly science from fraud.
