It will have a great deal of work to do and the trouble lies in the fact that so many raw aud incompetent bands are to undertake it. j The business of tb.ii vast country of nearly 60,000,000 people accumulates with great rapid ity The actual needed work is great. But the greatest obstruction to Con -sessional work is "Buncombe." W lat wity "my constituents Bay" is in eyery-neophyte's mind. He must introduce teu or twenty bills to show his zeal and qualifications. These bills die in the oommitteo rooms but they obstruct business, cost money and waste time. . .There is certain work to be done that 'cannot be avoided. The wheels of Government are kept in motion by the action of the Congress. The appropriations have to be voted. Strange to say, the ishief work of a Congress is that which is longest de layed, bangs fire longest and is some times hurried through in a very un- ' satisfactory and unbusinesslike way. Why thia delay should so often oc cur puzzles everybody else but poli ic ans. When the Congress meets tho reports of all the Departments am ready and all estimates have been made. The delay, therefore, is as un necessary as inexplicable. The appropriations ought all to be made and could be made by 15th January. The New York Commercial Chro nicle says, and all intelligent news papers will indorse it: ''It would be greatly to the advantage of the public business to have these important measures reported early, passed upon by the House of Representatives and sent to the Senate, so as to allow that branch of Congress much more time than is now al lowed. It seems almost absurd that neither the navv aDDroDriation bill, nor the legisla tive bit), which carries all tie salaries of the officers of government, reached the Senate this year for a first consideration, until tbe 1st of March, three days before the! term of Congress expired. It ought to be, land we are persuaded it is, possible to prepare ' this most important business ior consideration lone before tne usual lime, and to get it completely out of the way of other business in the early months of the session. For it is extremely desirable to devote much time this year to the discus sion of certain public measures that have been too long delayed already." A good, practical, working body is needed. Too much -demagoguery and too frequent airing of rhetoric will spoil anv legislation. The im- portant business should be certainly I L . . 1 . 1 . , ' e . 1 I I r w first attended to and then if there is time towards tbe close for such cheap disolavs let the rhetoricians and de- f claimers spout their little pieces And all for the "dear people." During the "long session," as the next is called, the great question of how to raise the revenues of the coun try must be considered. It cannot bej postponed or evaded. The long suffering and long forbearing tax payers demand that the accumula tion of a surplus shall be stopped and the burdens of taxation be light ened. Now how is this to be done? That, is the great prob lem. There are variant, antago nizing views among tbe members of both parties. While the Repub lican party is largely Protection, there is a small minority of intelli gent reformers in the party who favor Tariff reduction and a reten tion of the tax on spirits, wines, beer, cigars, etc. In the Democratic party there is also a small minority that is eager for a War Tariff and who strenuously favor tne wiping out of the internal tax, hoping there by to perpetuate the present high protective policy. In North Caro Una and Virginia both parties are ' a . n . . r' . i . . e nueretooa to lavor tne repealing oi all taxes on liquors, beer, cigars, etc, he Democracy in more than thirty tates are understood to be opposed to any such absurd and suicidal policy so long as the great war debt, its annual interest of $50,000,000, and the pension claims now amount ing "annually to $70,000,000, shall c ontinue to drain, sap and burden the country and oppress the poorer classes of tax-payers So the question of how to raise nearly $400,000,000 required to meet all expenses must come np and no member of the Congress can dodge ft. Then the great shipping inter eats of the country must be also con sidered. The Republicans have well nigh driven American ships from the sea. How shall the merchant tnariBM be revived? Then the cur- fancy leading question-must be tnet. What about National and jstate banks? What about silver? Shall gold be the one standard? What ' about greenbacks? What about fractional currency? Then the postal service must be looked .into. To show bow the last Congress burdened itself we note that 14,600 bills were introduced, of which pro bably not 3,000 were considered. Of the total probably. 12,000 were pri mate bills and might' have been dis pensed with 'altogether, There is one difficulty in the way approaching Congress is to make a record wh may very nenuusiy iu flaencethe eleotions of 1888. ; This will inevitably tara the session into a political body, not so much legis lating for the good of the country as making capital for party success. It is certain .that the record of both parties in the Congress between now and Jane next is to have no little ef fect npn the next Presidential elec tion. The Democrats cannot be too cautious, wise, industrious and broad ly patriotic, j ! j i THE RESULTS IN THREE IHIPOR- TANT STATES. I We greatly rejoice over the Dem ocratic triumphs in Virginia, Mary land and New York. The victories are very gratifying to all true Dem ocrats. Mahone's evil influence in Virginia has been so great that we are indeed glad that Jie has been again rebuked and that the affairs of Virginia will continue to be con trolled by the genuine sons who have at heart the prosperity, glory and honor of their "State. The triumph is i. r trebly important because of the fact jast mentioned, the securing of a successor to Biddleberger in the Senate and the effect it will have ! upon the Presidential election next i' l. i . ! year, li rover I Cleveland can carry Virginia. We congratulate our Vir ginian j neighbors npon the splendor and importance of their victory. The election' in Maryland is also very gratifying. That State is Dem ocratic. This I year an unwise and mischievous coalition of kicking so- called Democrats and the old Radi cal rotten party was formed for the defeat of tbe Democracy, but their plans have been thwarted and'Mary- land is safe by a round majority to the Democracy. May all kickers al ways fail! Whenever alleged Dem ocrats begin to form alliances with Republicans in any election you may be sure there is trickery behind it all. In New York the triumph is equal ly as important aud significant as in Marylaud. The New York World, that is as treacherous as the Sun was in 1884, sought by the aid of the vile Radical Tribune, and the Mugwump organ and aspiring Presidential ad- iviser, the Times, to combine a few recalcitrant and hungry Democrats with the fellows out in the cold, the Republicans, and by using a ready tool, one Nicoll, a supposed Demo crat, to defeat the regular Demo cratic nominee. But the failure was complete and Mr. Fellows was elec ted. The result in the State is very encouraging. The name of Grant has not charm enough to elect an in significant son without talents. The World is severely rebuked. Can it hold its large circulation in view of its betrayal of the party it pretends to train with? The Sun, vi lest of sheets, attempted . to sell out the party in 1884, and came very . r . r , , -, near aeieaung air. uieveiana. six hundred or less votes would have changed the result. It tried to elect Blaine by running "Old Cock-Eyes" and it failed. It has lost upon an average each week 6ince some 400, 000 copies. It has paid dearly for its rascality, however much it got in the way of a bribe for its course. Kickers will do to watch. The elections in the other States were in tbe usual way. Little Fora- ker is elected. He suits Ohio pre cisely. If New Jersey has gone Re publican, as is probably the case, it is a blow of some importance. New Jersey has been through the years Democratic, on tbe vote of the State at large, though her Legislature is of teu Republican. The NewJYork World of Monday has a long telegraphic dispatch dated Ashland, Wisconsin, November 6tb. It is an account of the "white slaves" in that State. It tells how iniquity and crime flourish how bloodhounds are used to track inmates of "the Pinery Den" who attempt to escape -how brutal and beastly are the border tuflians, who are worse than was ever told of painted Sioux how girls are kidnapped In Chicago when sixteen years of aee and held as prisoners - how their hair is cut off so that they may be known to all tbe infamous "dive-keepers of the League" bow bad women are em ployed ..as decoys, and so on. ;A most shameful revelation. And this in the great rich North! The- Washington Post interviews Mr. Blackwell, of - Durham, as to North Carolina politics. He is re ported as saying that-the North Car olina Democrats are for Cleveland for President and Ransom for the Senate. . He says Irwin will not agree to run for Governor. He means, we suppose, Jarvis. He thinks Mr. Julian S. Carr would make a better run than any other man; Mr. Blackwell knows as much and no more than any other man as to what wm happen. There is no doubt that the Democrats prefer Cleveland to all others now. We. congratulate the Baptists of North Carolina upon the announce ment that Rev. Dr. Bailey has re sumed tbe editorship of his own paper,, the Raleigh Biblical Recorder. Under' his supervision for some twelve Or fourteen years that paper was an interesting and able paper. A few months ago Bey. C. S. Far- nss took; exclusive charge. He had been assistant editor! for several years and did well. Cotton Crop Estimate. - The Cotton World's report for Octo ber, and its final estimate of a yield of 6,225,258 bales, is the sixth of the series of 1887-88 reports, in continua tion of the National Cotton Exchange system. It has created .something of a sensation among the bulls and bears, the correctness of the system of the National Cotton Exchange making estimates being established by remarkable accuracy in tbe three preceding years, as is shown by the following, issued on the 10th of No vember: i ' ". 1886-7. r Bales. National Exchange estimate 6,414,400 Actual product, f . . 6,443,138 Difference.:.......... 28,738 1885-6. - Bales. National Exchange estimate 6,650,265 Actual product.. r. 6,622,023 Difference.. 28,242 1884-5. Bales. National Exchange estimate 5,726,000 Actual product.! o,o,ooo Difference............ J 28,345 From this it will be seen that in crops varying from each other by over 900,000 bales the estimates put forth in November by the National Exchange have not differed more than 28,738 bales from the actual out turn in any year. f The Cotton World adds: In this connection we may without unjust assumption point to the record of tnese reports of nnal production as published on or before the 10$jL of November for the last three yeJirs. The commercial crop is made up on a certain defined basis; it may and does usually differ from the actual produc tion. The following shows compari son for each year: National Bx. Nov. crop estimate. Bales. Commercial Actual crop. production. Bales. Bales. 6.505,087 6,448,188 8,575.691 6,622.08$ 18857 6.414,401 18856 6.650,265 18846 6,786.000 5,706.165 5,697.655 It will be seen that these estimates have not varied materially from the actual crops, 'which fully attests the correctness of our system. Tne Proposition for m Fire Boat. The "memorandum" submitted to the Board of Aldermen at their last meeting by Capt. Edgar Williams, of the tug Marie, is as follows: "We will, have banked fires all night and full head of steam all day. And at night we will keep two men on board; one to attend to the boat and the other to give an alarm to the captain and engineer in case of need. We will at once, in case of fire on the river, report to tne cniei or i'lre .De partment and act under his orders; provided, always, there is no ship ping in danger.. Should any vessel be in distress or require assistance it is clearly understood tnat we nave liberty to assist them on our own ac count, andjalso that our claim ior salvage shall not be hampered by our obligations to the city. .Should there be no shipping in jeopardy we will tow flats or pump water, or act in any other way under the Chief of the Fire Department. We would at once buy a new, first class steam pump, and sufficient nose, under tne requirements of the Fire Department for efficient use. the cost of which would be about $800, at our own ex pense. J? or tnis service we ass $ au per month, which we believe to be very moderate compensation." Released. Wm. Sneeden and Silas Sneeden, who have been in jail here for several days, were released yesterday, bond in the sum of $750 having been fur nished for their appearance at the next term of the Superior Court, through the instrumentality of their counsel, j Messrs. .Strange, Waddell and Meares. An account of the arrest of the Sneedens was published in the Stab at the time. They are defendants in an action brought for the possession of Sneeden's island in Wrightsville Sound, and of which they liad pos session when an order for their arrest was issued by the Clerk of the Supe rior Court, on complaint and affidavit. A motion to vacate the order of ar rest will be made before Judge Phil lips at Kinston on the 14th inst., and for an order restoring the Sneedens to possession of the island in dispute. Tbe Late Col. Powers of Pender. The County Commissioners of Pen der, at their meeting in Burgaw last Monday, adopted resolutions in re spect to the memory of the late Col. John D. Powers, a highly esteemed member of the Board, and one of Pender's most honored, useful and valuable citizens. Col. Powers was more than ordinarily gifted with all those moral and intellectual qualities which combine to make up a true and good man.? i The steamer D. Murchison ar rived yesterday morning with a good freight of naval stores and cotton. Capt. Smith reports a rapid fall of the high water in the upper Cape Fear, but farther down the river the lowlands are still submerged. -"The Murchison left on her upward trip about 3 p. m., with a number of pas sengers for Fayetteville. The Robesonian says that "an able committee of the business men of Wilmington passed through Lun berton Monday on their way to Greensboro to capture the C. F. & T. V. Railway, and carry it down to Wilmington. They are now doing what ought to have been done some time ago." . The British steamship Cam Marth, previously reported aground near Southport, was floated at high tide yesterday morning and came up to the city. She will load cotton at the Champion Compress. The Star is in receipt of an in vitation to attend the first annual ex hibition of the Carteret County Oys ter, Fish and Game Association, to be held at Beaufort, December 14. 15 and 16. Cotton advanced an eighth in this market yesterday, selling on a basis of 9 cents per pound for mid dling. Sales aggregated 1,000 bales. Subscribers, whether in the city or the country, are requested to no-.; tify us of any irregularities in the re ceipt of their papers. Receipts of cotton yesterday 1,483 bales; the same day last year 817. Increase over receipts last season, 31,322 bales. ' - Steamer Lisbon, from Black River, brought down a very large freight, including 40 bales of cotton, naval stores, etc. I have always been much annoyed by neuralgia and headache and finally deter mined to try Salvation Oil. I am glad to recommend it as it made a perfect cure in my case. "' MARES NEW. 9? Aisqultb. Bt., Baltimore, JH. U - CO UNTT A FFA tits.

He goes to Baltimore for treatment, but hopes to be able to take his seat when Con-; gress assembles. His hosts of friends in this town and section devoutly hope that he may speedily recover. He is a noble man in all that goes to make up the real man. We are glad to learn that he stood the trip finely as far as Wilmington; and we hope he will be enabled to make the whole trip with lease, and that most favor- able news of his rapid and permanent recovery may be received. We learn' by a telegram from Dr. Lewis that at: Richmond, Va., he was feeling very comfortable." . i Cape Fear Jc lTadkln Valler.

Hundreds of subscribers hurriedly unfolded the Stab yesterday to see if its election roosters were in sight. There they were, crowing triumph antly, and, carrying joyful tidings to the nnterrified Democracy The news was eagerly read and created the highest enthusiasm. There were many Democrats in Wilmington who were apprehensive about the result in New Yorkt especially so in regard to the election for District Attorney but all turned out well, and the gene ral result is all that the most enthu siastic Democrats had claimed.

Oglesby this morning in reference to tbe Aoaicbist cases, tbe fir greater portion ne ing as usual from Chicago. It is asserted with confidence that, contrary to rule heretofore, the proportion of demanda for execution . was greater than the requests for clemency. This change cf sentiment has undoubtedly been occasioned by the finding of bombs in Lingg's cell. A State House rumor says that two more threatens ing letters were" received by the Governor this morning, and according to invariable custom were promptly consigned to the flames.
