XfXisr SUl T&milVLQ laV By WILLIAM H. BEBNAHO. WILMINGTON. N. C Sunday Morning, Fed. 24. 895 THE OTHER HALF SHOULD HAVE GONE. One half the House of Representa tives of this State were at the New bern Fish, Game and Poultry exposi tion last Thursday. The other halt should have gone, tooj for then they ! would have escaped ! show they made of the shameful themselves' in i voting for that resolution to adjourn I to do honor to the memory of Fred Douglass. The probabilities are that the majority of the gang who, j under the spur of the negro who sprung that resolution on them, uian t nave tne nerve to vote it down, as they had previously voted down resolutions to honor the birth days of the immortal Washington and Lee, wished they were at New bern or out in tj woods when that vote was taken, and they saw the in dignation it aroused in the decent, self-respecting white people of the State. This is written of course, on the presumption that they are not lost to a sense of shame, and do not enjoy making themselves contemp tible i But if they had gone to Newbern and spent an hour or two on the Ex position grounds they would have escaped the disgusting spectacle they made of themselves and possibly might have learned much about T . v worm uaroiina that many of them don i know. A good many of tnose soIods from the middle and western portion of the State, doubt less, had never been any further East than1 Raleigh, and many of them never that far until they went there :. to take a whack at making the laws for the State, about which,' as a whole, some of them are as ignorant astbey are about the interior of Af- rica. North Carolina is a large State, with a stretch of four hundred) and fifty miles from East to West. Until the completion of tie Western North . Carolina Railroad there was but lit tle travelling from the East ti the , West, or from the West to the East,, but little mingling of the people of the different sections, and but little knowledge save what was gathered by reading or conversation j with those who had travelled in one or both sections. There is more j now, but not half as much as there should be, especially by those who are; dele gated to make the laws for allj sec tions of the State, laws which affect alike the people of the East, the Cen ter and the West. L Asa matter of fact much of the time of on Legislature in this and in other States is taken up" in repealing laws passed by a preceding Legisla ture, some of which were passed for want of better information on the subjects legislated upon, and jof the needs and condition of the people for whom the legislating was done. The solons now at Raleigh! have fixed up a scheme ; for county gov ernment, for which some of thm are bowling, and yet they do not seem to . realize that a system of government which would suit one section !of the State very well would be ruinous to another section.; If the statesmen from the highlands would pick up their grip-sacks and sojourn jin the -East for a while and keep their eyes open they might learn something and form a better conception of what should be done, or not be done, In breaking np established systems and .attempting new ones, and they! would understand, too, why the white peo ple of the East stand together, and maybe realize the iniquity 'of the' schemes they advocate In depriving the white people of the East of the means of self protection." ' v But as they all can't " travel and acquire ed ucation in that way the next best thing the solons can do is to visit the expositions held in the respective portions of the State and thus come into " contact , with I . the people and learn something of the resources as seen in the various ex hibits made. ' . ' ' An impression prevails , to a large ex&nt in pther portions of the State that the productive capacity, of Eastern North Carolina is coufinei ta pitch, tar, turpentine, - lumber, cotton,; peanuts, fish, oysters, soft shell crabs, mosquitoes and sand fiddlers. Generally when tb e f el -lows from the West come to the sea shore for the first' time they spend the first three days chasing sand fiddlers, which in turn have a good "deal of fun watching the manoevres of the awkwaro fellows who are try-: ing to catch them and hardly ever doit.; ' if These Western statesmen who vis ited the Newbern Fair might not have been surprised at the exhibits of fish and wild fowl, for they natu rally expected these, but we will ven ture to say that the exhibits of live Stock, poultry, dairy products, corn, potatoes (Irish land sweet), turnips, cabbages and other products of the farm, were a revelation to most of them. . These j would have opened their eyes to what ? Eastern North Carolina can do and is doing ia the way of growing food products, and they could have seen there in pre served form some ' of the "luscious fruits which grow in such abun dance and to shch perfection in, this section of the $tate. - Knowing what they can do on the uplands and thus learning what we can do on the Eastern plaln.nhey. wouiu gei a ociier conception oi North Carolina as a grand whole, ' j . ' 1 . catch new ideas and broader view?, and more than ever realize the re sponsibility of the trust reposed In them and the necessity of legislating intelligently for such a State. A day at Newbern would .have been a day at school for them, and one of the best day's schooling that many of them ever had. It would have been well, we repeat, if they had all been there, instead of killing a day at Raleigh in doing honor to the memory of a man that most of them would have scorned to sit at the same table with when alive. mSOR MENTION The bill which has passed the Sen ate of this State to provide against the adulteration of food is a proper one. It does not interfere with the minufacture or sale of any artificially prepared" foodstuffs, but requires that they be properly labelled and sold for what they are, and not for something else which they are made to represent. There are vast quan tities of oleomareanne. lard com pounds and other things in common use sold every day as butter, lard, &c, and the buyer don't know any better, but think they are getting the genuine article at a reduced price, the price of these substitutes being generally somewhat . lower than the price of the genuine ariicie. mis is not-only practic ing, deception , upon and swindling the buyer, but it is taking an unfair advantage of the producers of the genuine article, who cannot compete with that kind of opposition, and must therefore come down in their prices to an unprofitable figure, and eventually quit business. Honest, fair, square dealing ought to be the rule, and the man who does that .way should be protected from theman who does not and tries to take ad vantage of him. In justice to him and to the buyer who should know what he is buying and what be is paying his money for, these substi tute foods should be properly la belled and sold under their proper name. The Senate committee appointed to investigate the depression in the cotton-growing industry has made a report through Senator George. chairmen of the Committee on Agri N culture. This investigation has been pursued for the past two years and a report was made a year or so ago giving. the results. The report just made is fuller and embraces a wider range of investigation as to - the causes, accompanied by suggestions as to the remedies to be applied.very few of which, however, can be put into practice, as-the others are de pendent upon legislation over which there has been vigorous contest, the end of which - is not in sight. The main value of this report, which pre sents little in the way of fact which was not previously known, is that it discusses the question fully and presents in compact form the results of extensive and laborious investiga tion on information supplied from sources most competent to give it, so that the basis of the facts and not theory or speculation. There will not be any surprise that the cotton planter should be wrest ling with adversity, when this com mittee tells us on the facts and Az ures in its. possession that in the years '91, '92 and '93 the cost of pro- duction in nearly all the cotton pro- tbgiuu cijuaucu ii ii aia not exceed the Value of the cotton raised. The only remedy for this is cheaper production, and the only way ;io cheaper production is tnrougn intensified farming. With this, a reduction of. production and raising his home supplies, the plan ter can get out of the wpods. The question of gold mining in North Carolina is an interesting one, fpr our gold mines may some day be come a source of great wealth to the State. Much has been 'said and written upon our gold ores, their ex enV ."chns etc. , Some of s our mines" have paid ! handsomey .and some are doing it npw, but the sola- uon oi tne- problem as to whether mining as an industry will pay gen- erally depends upori. the invention of some effective and cheap process for working the low-grade ores and get! ting the goW;iromlthem?SM6stiXf our,ores are sulphurets and very hard to work by . thej ordinary processes. Methods jr have been " invented to overcome the', obstacles, some of which have prod need good - re suits,' but so fat they require, we" believe, costly, plants, and therefore do not fill the bill, as it is only the mine - of a large amount of teasonably rich oxe which could afford this. . Ore might, of course, be shipped to them for working, but this could ..only be from mines near by as the cost of transportation would be considerable. We have no ; doubt that with: the efforts that are being made this problem of cheap. reduction of the ores will yet be solved, and then gold mining in North Carolina: will become a paying industry and will be extensively carried on. i r CURRENT COMMENT. .Legislation in the present Congress is virtually over!

But, after all, when' not too exaggerat ed, the mode Of embellishing the shoulders and making the bodies and sleeves the sa lient point in a costume is more elegant; and more in unison with the lines of form than the opposite extreme of an immense circumference of skirt, crinoline, flounces and furbelows and tight bodices with plain sleeves, making the shoulders and bust look far too InElgniflcant. The plain, close fitting skirts we have had lately are so becoming that for the next three months there may be little change, except a slight difference in the out. The front and side breadths will be gored, and the back breadth plain (instead of en bias, as heretofore) and mounted on the band, with three large plaits at the back. These must be lined with horsehair or twine stiff lining to keep them out. Nearly all the bodices are made with round waists, and belts are worn with them. ' "(.-" I 1 " - Even the tailor made costumes are not plain, as formerly. For morning wear tailors are making np cloth or fancy wool en materials with three folds or plaits in front and one at the back of the bodice, and in this ease there is one wide box plait In the back of the skirt, which appears a continuation of the aforesaid plait in the bodice, though divided by the belt or band, and naturally the skirt plait widens out toward the ground. , , . " The more dressy style of robes for visits and S o'clock teas is made of Eilk, moire or some rich material. There is generally a small yoke richly embroidered on velvet, the 6leeves from elbow to wrist the same; also the waistband. Nearly all the jackets, mantles and capes have high standing open collars, much re sembling the medioi collar of three or four years, ago. i In the way of furs, sable, lamb and blue fox are in vogue. Ermine is more suita ble for linings. Sable and other such furs are made np with a wide Sat collar and long stole ends. Another form has the same shaped collar, but comnarativelv abort ends, like what was called In yeaza gone by a "vlctorlne." The little neck ruffs again in vogue form a most bewitching finish to a morn ing, afternoon or evening dress. Some are AFTEEKO02T TOILET. ' i of curled ostrich feathers; others of the bright tips of lmpeyan pheasant plumes set closely together; others, mora dressy, are of sill; cot out in the shape of rose petals and massed together. Then, again, chiffon is puffed and ruched and. alternat ed with rosettes or flowers. Indeed all have some coquettish finish a flower at the side or sometimes on both sides. There is no limit to the variety that can be obtained, and they are excessively be coming, forming a soft frame for a pretty head. . Fashion's Echoes. Satin is and will continue to be mnch in favor and much worn. The princess shape is also in vogue again, a most ele gant gown, close fitting, but with three plaits at the back of the skirt. It fastens down the left side from neck to foot with fancy silver hooks and eyes sewed out side. Lace is plentifully Used tn nrnnrunt bodices, and some wonderful specimens of imitation guipure have been produced. Russet shoes, made in a kind of material known as Bordeaux calf, which has a dis tinct grain to it, are very much in demand for winter wear, both for men and women. They are made with both cork and double soles for outside wear. Men's caps are principally of Scotch tweed of light color. The most popular of these is tho -golf," which has an extreme ly low and fuU crown -that nearly covers the visor. A prominent feature this season is the adoption of the Scotch edge for children's walking shoes. This is an extra wide and OTerlappingstyleof sole, which is only used iur uuHioorwear ana nas the merit of pre venting the child from kicking out tb.9 toes or wearing the shoe-ever at the side. Heads aro still used on fur boas, but it Is newer to fasten such boas with tails and paws. .Some are double and encircle the throat, and some aro lined with satin and are much brmder. The long boos only reach to: the knee, and feathers are worn as much as fur. A. Deadly Drama. The following strange story is told of the manuscript of- Elaine," a drama by George Parsons. It was acfinntnri nnd produceby Miss Annie Russell, but no sooner had the lady jaroceeded thus far than shevwas taken ill, which entailed the Withdrawal of the piece. Thereupon Mr. Lathrop sent it to Miss Mary An derson. "She liked it" and was actual ly in negotiation to produce it when she also became ill, "desperately ill. " The unlucky author then" tried Mrs. Langtry. She vwas "enchanted" -and eager to bring' it out . when, lo! the Jersey Lily was "stricken down with fever." . -.. , Finally the parcel of manuscript was dispatched to Miss Julia Marlowe. Re gardless of her doom, like Grev'a TSfon boys, this "little victim" was just then playing to audiences in Philadelphia. She opened it and. played no more that season.
