A Strong Presentation.
Senator Ransom makes this point in
discussing the new tariff law:
There are 1,700.000 people In North
Carolina. At least 400,000 of these
have accounts at stores. The average
yearly store account is about $100. Take
off of each of tbese 400,000 accounts 25
per cent. This means a saving to North
Carolinians' of $10 000,000 per year; one
million more than the cotton crop is
worth; twice as much as the tobacco
crop. This means much more than an
increase of the money per capita to $50.
It saves the money in the pockets ot the
people.

WILMINGTON WELCOME WEEK.
Executive Committee Meeting A Sub
committee Appointed to Secure Low
Bate from Kallroads The Committee
Encouraged at the Outlook.
A very enthusiastic meeting of the
Wilmington Welcome Week Executive
Committee was held last night at the
office of the S. A. L, on Front street.
The following members were present:
Thos, D. Meares, W. J. Woodward,
J. W. Martenis, W. E. Springer, Thos.
C. James, P. Pearsall, M. W. Jacobi,
P. Heinsberger and Geo. G. Lewis.
The meeting was palled to order at
8.30 o'clock by Chairman Thos. D.
Meares. Mr. W. J. Woodward was
elected permanent secretary.
Various matters of interest were dis
cussed in regard to the prospects of a
much better celebration than ever be
fore, but before any steps are to be taken
it was unanimously decided to see
whether satisfactory rates could be ob
tained from the railroads.
Upon motion, the Chair appointed
Messrs. Isaac Bear, ;P. Pearsall and J.
W. Murchison a committee to confer
with the railroad officials and report the
rate which they agree to allow, at the
next meeting. The sense of the meet
ing was that if very low rates could be
obtained and everybody would do their
part on subscriptions, the W. W. W. will
be a success. If the merchants and busi
ness men do not take the proper inter
est, the Executive Committee would let
the celebration slide. They didn't in
tend to beg anybody.
Upon motion of Mr. P. Heinsberger,
Messrs, W. H. Bernard, J. W. Jackson
and Josh T. James were added to the
Executive Committee.
Mr. Wm. E. Springer was unani
mously elected Treasurer.
Mr. J. W. Martenis, Traffic Manager of
the Wilmington, Newbern and Norfolk
railroad, said that his road would give
as low a rate as any other road, and
spoke as being very much in favor of the
movement.
Mr. Thomas D. Meares, Agent for the
S. A. L., said that he favored the W. W.
W.,as he always had, and telegraphed the
officials to-day to ascertain what rates
could be quoted to the committee.
Mr. Thos. C. James, Agent for the
Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad,
stated their General Passenger Agent,
Mr. W. E. Kyle, was in the city and
could be seen after the meeting.
The committee then adjourned to
meet again Thursday night, the 27th
inst., at 8 o'clock.
After the meeting a committee lead by
Mr. P. Pearsall, called on Mr. Kyle
who said that he could almost assure
them a rate not much more than one
cent and a half per mile. His answers
were encouraging and now the commit
tee feels confident that a one cent and
half rate will be secured from all roads
entering Wilmington.

The Business outlook.
Capt. A. D. Brown, who returned
Tuesday from a three-weeks' trip to the
North, where he bad ample opportunity
to see and talk with the leading business
men in all branches of trade, gives a
cheering account of the hopeful feeling
prevailing in business circles generally.
Not onlo has there been a marked im
provement already, but conservative
merchants look for a safe and steady
trade hereafter. Capt. Brown reports a
large attendance of Southern merchants
in New York who express confidence in
the future of business on account of the
settlement of the tariff question and the
splendid crops made throughout the
South.

THE REV. POP. MARTIN.
He Appreciates the Real Beauties of Popu
lismThe Impression He Made in Char
lotte. The News thus measures up the Rev.
Pop. Martin, who delivered a popuhstic
exhortation in Cbarlotte last Monday
night :
If there is any one who has not yet
heard a real simon pure Popuhstic
speech, let him make it a point to hear
Rev. Martin at the. first convenient op
portunity. You may think that you
know all about Populism, but you can
never fully appreciate its real beauties
until you have heard Rev. Martin. He
deals in the genuine article. He speaks
Populism as she is spoke. Rev. Martin
made his debut in Charlotte last night,
and the ram didn't keep back the people.
iney were were ana tney were edified.
Martin has not left his pulpit manners
behind him; his speech is so like a ser
mon that one feels like he is in a revival
meeting where converts are heard to
draw and the preacher has all his horse
power in use. After hearing Martin
speak, one can readily understand how
the prejudices of the ignorant are worked
upon, and it passes belief that any
man of intelligence could espouse the
wildcat doctrines expounded. He, of
course, blamed the Democratic party for
all the evils of the country and showed
dense ignorance of political history. He
did not forget to predict the bloody rev
olution which is coming. He pulled out
the blank book showing what Congress
has done, and then sasshayed around to
a pulpit stretch of oratory in which he
eventually landed everybody in perdi
tion by the aid of the money power. He
stated as his platform that he wanted the
government to issue paper money to
swell the currency; he wanted interest
wiped out, and wanted it made an in
dictable offence for anybody to require
interest, and last of all, he wanted abso
lute Free Trade. It was a remarkable
string of silliness, his speech was, all the
way through.
Mr. Lockhart, in replying to Martin,
filled his blank book and made him ad
mit a great many things that Congress
had done for the benefit of the people,
and he took up and exposed such of
Martin's fallacies as were not entirely too
ridiculous to notice. It is painful in
this age of progress and intelligence to
think that things have come to such a
pass that for decency's sake, dignity for
the time being must be laid aside to
knock over such fellows as Martin. The
statesmen of the present day are under
going an ordeal that the statesmen of
the past knew nothing of. But this is a
free country, notwithstanding the cry of
the Pops that we are all slaves, and
everybody has a right to talk. The only
thing to do is to enjoy it while it lasts,
and then down 'em at the polls.
