entered the hall was greeted with ap

through the immense i auditorium

Then there was a hush of respectful

. . . -mm r-l . i - r . 1
bauoc. Maj. steaman is one oi tne
handsomest men to be found in a day's
journey. His physique is superb and
his manner is that of the cultured,
courtly, gallant gentleman that he is.
His face was pale with the emotion
that was; but natural lander the
trying circumstances of the occa
sion but. his bearing was admirable
iu kho highest degree, proving the
possession of that true, pluck he
has always shown. His i speech was
unfaltering, clear as a bell, and his
words were "distinctly beard in the
farthest corner of the building. He
began by saying he was for the nom
inees of the convention whoever they
might be, and pledged the faithful
service in their behalf ail know is
forthcoming from Charles M. Sted-
man at the call of the Democratic
party. He said he could not hnd
words to express his thanks for the
hearty, enthusiastic and long sustain
ed support he had received, while at
the samo time he had no unkind feel
ing and no thought of reproach for
any who had preferred another to
him.
It matters not who the Democracy
nominated so he was a Democrat
tried and true. He charged the no
ble array of the grand old Democratic
party of North Carolina before him
assembled to lay aside common de
ferences and present an unbroken
column and acquit themselves in a
manner to realize the traditions, the
hopes and the prophecies of their an
cestors. It is safe to say that he won the
admiration of every man in the hall.
He has been very generally admired,
indeed, by the Democracy of the
State for , the sterling qualities he
possesses, but we venture to say that
after his superb bearing under de
feat this admiration has been in
creased an hundred fold and wid
ened throughout the whole extent of
North Carolina. As he made his
adieus to the audience he was most
enthusiastically applauded and his
friends of all ways of thinking
crowded upon him and expressed
taeir appreciation of his noble senti
ments and admirable bearing. Three
cheers were given him most heartily,
and one prominent member of the
Convention called for three cheers
ior.-oenaior d tea man" j wmcn were
given with a will.
Raleigh News and Observer Editorial
Major Stedman's short speech in
the Convention, made j under very
trying circumstances, was a perfect
gem, in matter, in sentiment and in
delivery, j No one could have borne
himself more handsomely, and it has
never been our fortune to. hear a
candidate I under similar circum
stances fill more perfectly the full
measure of what his friends expected
from him. We doubt not that the
entire Convention to a man cordially
joined in what Judge Fowle so well
expressed, that if there could be a
tripartite ticket, it should be Sted
man, Alexander and Fowle.

HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, presented the
conference report on his bill to create a De
partment of Labor, wnicn was accepiea
and the bill passed in substantially the same
shape as it came from the Senate, j
Mr. SDinola. or rew. ions, rising w a
question of privilege, had read a special
dispatch to a New Tork newspaper, criti
cizing him for fnot demanding immediate
action upon the bill to place Gen. Fre
mont's name on the retired list, when he
reported it a few days ago, Mr. Spinola
said the Republicans had imposed upon an
innocent, usophisticated reporter, and
that he should hold the entire Republican
side of the House responsible for the falsi
fication. As a matter or Tact me Dill naa
received the unanimous support of the De
mocratic members of the committee, while
the Republicans had opposed it.
Tho House men proceeded to consider
the report of the Committee of the Whole
on the legislative appropriation dm.
The first amendment on wmcn a division
was demanded was that increasing the cler
ical force of the Civil Service Commission,
which was adopted by a vote of 58 to 45
A yea any nay vote was demanded on me
amendment to re-establish the St. Louis
assay office. The admendment was adopted.
Mr. Kandail, OI rennsyivania, siaieu mat
there were forty blanks in the bill, all in
the provisions for salaries, which has been
made by points of order, and he asked con
sent to fill them in according to the existing
law. M . - . . - " -
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, objected,
and charged the Appropriations Committee
with the responsibility for the blanks, in
disregarding the rules. ; .
The DM was men recommitted w ue Ap
propriations Committee.
Mr. Mills movea to dispense wua ine
moraine hour, presumably to tafee sip me
Tariff bill, but could not secure the neces
sary two-thirds' vote.
Cgmmittees were cauea ior reports, ana
then, on motion of Mr. Mills, ana witaout
a negative voic?. the Home went into Com
mittee of the Whole for the consideration
of the. Tariff bill. ! ;
Chairman Springer announced that the
hill wnnld be considered for amendments
under the five minutes rule. ;
Mr. McKinley asked unanitnom consent
to have the entire bill read.
Mr. Mills objected j
Mr. McKinlev asked for the reading of
the reports'of jthe majority and minority,
but Mr. Dates, of Alabama, oDiecieo, ana
the Clerk read the enacting clause of the
bill. i - !
Wit hcul resorting to filhbustering the
Republicans pursued a policy of ob
struction that was so successful tnat snort-
ly before 5 o'clock Mr. Mills asked that
debate onhe pending section (the free list)
be considered as closed ; but objection was
made, and he moved that the committee
rise. This prevailed by a vote by .tellers of
122 to 83, the Republicans solidly opposing
the motion, and the committee rose, not
having passed over the first five lines of tho
bill. i
The first amendment offered was thai of
Mr. Adam?, Republican, of Illinois, to
tn-be the bill take effect January first next,
instead of July first. After speaking until
his time bad expired, Mr. Adams modified
his amendment so as to make it read,
Jaaury second, 1889. instead of January
first, 1839. and explained tn&t no meant it
to apply only to the first section on the free
lis.
lathe debate which followed, several
speeches were made, lumber being the
principal topic of discussion, and Mr.
Keely, of FeciiSjIvama i spose for tne
Southern lumber interest, as he said no
oue on the Democratic side cared to do it.
He pleaded with the House not to im
poveruh the poo? paople of Tennessee and
South Carolina, and decrease the value of
their splendid timber lands by making
lumber free. ,
Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, was the chief.
champion of the bill. He spoke in the in
terest of farmers and poor l men who used
lumber, and protested against any action
that would fasten a lumber trust upon the
farmer and not the consumer.
Mr. Parker (Republican), of New York,
offered an amendment proposing to substi
tute November 80th, 1889, for the date
given in the section and addressed himself
to the lumber clause.
When the debate had progressed some
time, Mr. Parker 8 amendment was reject
ed yoas 89, nays 134. The Democrats
applauded the announcement of tbe vote.
;TLe cispoMiion of Mr. Parker a motion
affording opportunity for further amend
ments. Mr. lion tell proposed to make the
date in Mr. Adams' amendment 1890, in
stead of 1889, and tho debate upon lumber
took a rresn start, j
Other interests were touched upon in the
course or ine discussion, ana Mr. tsayne,
of Pennsylvania, incidentally renewed the
charge that tbe bill had been drawn on sec
tional lines and that it was infinitely worse
than the Morrison bill in that respect.
This brought about a general debate upon
the general policy of the bill.
W ben tne committee rose Mr. Kandal! re -
ported the legislative appropriation bill, as
amended by the Appropriations Committee
(the blank spaces being filled in), and asked
to have it considered immediately.
Mr. Peters, of Kansas, raised the point of
order that the bill must again be considered
in Cummutee of tbe Whole, but the point
was overruled. i ! v
Messrs. McKinley, of Ohio, and Soinola.
of New York, who held .the report from
tbe Military Committee, sought to secure
consideration for the bill to revive the
rank cf General of the Army, to be filled
by Lieut. General Sheridan, but objection
was made by Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, and
other Democrats, and the House at 5 o'clock
adjourned, pending a division on the mo
lion to table Mr. Peters' appeal from the
ruling cf the chair on his point of order.
SENATE.
Washington. June 1. The resolution
offered yesterday by Mr. Call, directing
the Attorney General to report . whether
Anast&sia Island, near St. Augustine. Fla..
is the property of the United States, and
wneiner ine wnoie or any portion of It is
covereu y panian grants, was taken up
ana agreed 10.
House bnl to amend the Agricultural Col
leges act of 1862, and other supplementary
auia iu icgaiu iu experimental biailODS, was,
on motion of Mr. Brown, taken from the
calendar, amended in phraseology, and
passed.
1 he Senate then proceeded to the consid
eration of the Indian appropriation bill.
a. conoquv took place between Messrs
Plumb and Bate in regard to the adminis
tration of the office of Commissioner of In
dian Allairs. the former asserting that the
condition of things in Indian Tcrritorv was
worse now man it naa oeen ior many years;
that there never was a time when the tra
der so dominated over the Indian, when
the Indian was brought so much in debt bv
iub exactions oi me trader, ana wnen so
much liquor was sold, and that the Com
missioner had no experience, was advanced
m years. j
Mr. Bate defended the character, abilitv.
honesty and efflciencv of the Commisnloner
and challenged the Senator from Kansas to
prove nis as ertions, which Mr. Plumb pro
mised to do. ! ,
Mr. Blair said he had seen it stated in the
newspapers mat tne Catholic Church had
an undue influence in the matter of Indian
scnool8 on tbe reservation, and he asked
Mr. Dawes what truth there was in such
statement. ...
Mr. Dawes replied that the Interior De
partment made contracts with associa
tions o; individuals for the education of a
certain number of Indian scholars, some at
$ ios ana some at $108 per annum, and
mat mere bad been a good deal of com
plaint that the Catholic denomination got
a predominant share of these ecnolars. He
attributed tnis, However, not to any special
favor, but to the fact that the Catholic
Church had a bureau in Washington whnnn
duty it was to look out for opportunities to
mase contracts lor tne education of Indian
cniidren. Finally the bill was passed and
me oenate adjourned to Monday.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. -
Mr. Mills, of Texas, -rising in his place;
asked in the name of Confederate soldiers,
living and dead, that the House consider
the Sheridan bill, buVMr. Kilgore persisted
in his objection. . -
After reports from . committees Mr.
Spinola, of New York, renewed, his effort
to have passed the Senate bill to revive
the rank of General of the Army, for the
benefit of Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, but Mr.
Kilgore, of Texasagain objected.
Mr. Randall suggested that the bill might
be passed Monday under & suspension of
the rules, and it was laid over.
A few minutes later Mr, Spinola, of New
York, again sought to bring the Sheridan
bill before the House, by asking consent
to report it back from the Committee on
Military Affairs. It had been referred to
that committee after the preceding failure.
Mr. Kilgore was induced to withdraw bis
objection so far as to allow the report to be
made, but Mr. Oats, of Alabama, promptly
renewed it. s .
Private business having been dispensed
with the regular order was demanded, be
ing the appeal of Mr, Peters, of Kansas, from
the decision of the Speaker pro tern. (Mc
Millin), that the Legislative Appropriation
bill need not be again considered in Com
mittee of the Whole. ' A division was had,
resulting in the rejection of the appeal by a
vote of 113 to 47, but the point of no quo
rum was made by a number of Republi
cans, who desired to force the House to act
uoon the Sheridan bill before proceeding
with other business. The yeas and nays
were then ordered. ; The roll call showed
no quorum, and the call of tbe House was
ordered, but the proceedings under it were
dispensed with, and Mr.- Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, asked consent to consider tbe
Sheridan bill. Mr. Kilgore withdrew his
objection, after expressing his general ob
jection to this class of hasty legislation.
Mr. Breckimidge, of Kentucky, sup
ported the bill, saying that whatever feel
ing he might have had under other
circumstances had given way,as he learned
that Gen. Sheridan was now in the pre
sence of that enemy he had so manfully
faced in years gone by, and be was glad to
have the opportunity to vote himself, and
ask tbe votes of all in the chamber, to give
the crowning wreath to the great soldier in
his dying hour. Great applause.
Mr. Cox, of :New York, and Mr. Kelley,
of Pennsyvania, also briefly urged the
passage of the bill, aud it was then passed
by a viva wee vote.
Mr. OateB, of Alabama, went on the
record aa opposing it, and tbe House bill
on the same subject, introduced by Mr
Dorsey. of Alabama, was tabled
Parliamentary difficulties in the way of
the Legislative Appropriation bill were
then overcome and the bill passed, with
blank salaries filled in as it was reported
from the Appropriation Committee.
Mr. Mills moved that tbe- House go into
Committee of the Whole on the tariif bill,
debate on the first paragraph to be limited
to twenty minutes. By arrangement with
Mr. McKinley the time was extended to
forty minutes, and the motion prevailed.
Messrs. Holman, Weaver, and McCor-,
mick, of Pennsylvania, spoke upon the
lumber question, i '
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, did not
want to be singular by speaking to the
peodine amendment, to make the free list
eo into effect next January, but would do-
as other speakers had done, and talk about
something else.
When the time had expired, the ques
tion was put to Mr. Adams' amendment to
substitute January 2nd, 1889, for July Is',
1888, as the date of the application of the
free list, and it was defeated yeas 81,
nays 118.
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, then of
fered an amendment to exclude foreign
prison made eooda from entry. Ruled out
on a point of order. Mr. Buchanan ap
pealed, but the ruling was sustained by a
party vote.' Thereupon Mr. Buchanan
modified tho language, but not the sub
stance of his amendment, so that it was un -objectionable
in form, but it was defeated
by a strict party vote of 97 to 105.
Mr. "Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered ao
amendment to add to the first paragraph a
prohibition against tbe importation of
goods, tbe manufacture or sale of which is
controlled by trusts. Rejected by 70 to
105.
Mr. Baker, of Illinois, presented bis
amendment to exclude Canadian goods
from tbe free list whenever the government
imposes a duty on American goods of a
similar nature. Rejected.
This concluded consideration of the
first paragraph five lines of tho bill and
the clerk read "timber; hewn and sawed;
and timber used for spars and in boilding
wharves, the first article in tbe free hit,
Mr. Btiuble, of Iowa, moved to strike
out the paragraph. Tbe first Republican
speaker on this motion had nothing to say
about it, bat discussed icstead the free
wool provision of the bill, and free wool
occupied the remainder of the afternoon
session.
Finally, Mr. Mills suggested that ia view
of the fact that tbe two lines which had
been under consideration all day concerned
an item that bad yielded but $198.80 in
revenue last year, the paragraph be passed
over. Tbia request being refused tbe
committed rose, and pending a decision
upon Mr. Mills' motion to limit to ten
minutes further debate upon the para
graph, the House took a recess until 8
o'clock, the evening session to be for tbe
consideration of private ' pension bills.

Senate amendments to the Experimental
Agricultural Station bill were concurred in;
and on motion of Mr. Crisp, of Georgia,
similar action was taken on the bill autho
rizing tbe construction of bridges across
the Tennessee river, near Chattanooga,
Tenn., and at Guntersville, Ala., and ex
tending the time for the construction of
a new bridge across Staten Island sound.
1 be House then went into Committee of
tbe Wholo on tbe Agricultural Appropria
tion bill.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, asked that cene-
ral debate be dispented with, which was
done, and the bill was read by sections for
amendment.
The consideration of the bill was com
pleted without effecting any change in it.
The committee then rose and the bill was
passed Mr. Washington, of Tenn.', vainly
endeavoring to have it recommitted to the
Committee on Agriculture, with instruc
tions to restore the salary of the Commis
sioner to the present figure. The regular or
der was demanded, being Mr. Mills' mo
tion to limit debate on the pending para
graph of the tariff bill to ten minutes,
which prevailed. The House then went
into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff
bill.
The amendment under consideration was
to strike from the free list timber, hewn
and sawed, and timber used for spars and
wharves.
Mr, Randall, of Pennsylvania, address
ing the House, said that it should be the
object or tne Jtiouse to fix the tariff at a
rate just nigh enough to cover the differ'
ence in wages of lumbermen in this coun
try and Canada, and be hoped that the duty

to be put on Mr. Struble's motion
to striae out "timber hewn and sawed,
and timber used for spars and in
building wharves," when Mr. Burrows
asaea to be informed as to the effect of "a
pair" upon other than record votes. Seve
ral members expressed divergent vlnwa.
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, holding that

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
This people is my people, and
their God is my God I I was born within
sight of this house. I was baptized, con
firmed and first received tbe Holy Com
munion Within these walls. 1 was or
dained Deacon and married at this altar.
The wife of my youth (now at rest in tbe
bosom of Jeeus in Paradise) was a lamb of
this flock, our children are members of this
fold, To many of this people I am bound
by all the sweet and tender ties of kinship
and affinity. The friends of my childhood
and youth and manhood are here, living or
sleeping in yonder graveyard. Surely this
people is my people, their God my God 1
For thirty-seven years I have gone in and
out among this people as their Pastor and
Priest. They have been kind to me ever.
They have been forbearing towards me be
yond measure. Amidst all the trials and
difficulties of my office, during that long
tract of time, not one of them, not one of
their dead, not one of the living, has
ever spoken an unkind word to me
or i done an unkind act towards me.
My heart trembles within me oftentimes to
think of it, for fear that I was not faithful
to them or it could not thus have been.
Surely this people is my people in the
bonds ot Christian love! I have baptized
their children and taught them tbe cate
chism. I have married their sons and
dauiihters. I have ministered to them in
sickness, stood by their dying beds, often
times these bands have closed their eyes gin
death, and when, under the fiat of the
Almighty, they have gone hence, one after
another, in all that long course of lime, I
have buried them 1 Memory stands to-day,
looking back upon the past, with tears in
her eyes mingled tears of joy and of sor
row. I have rejoiced with them when they
rejoiced and wopt with them when they
wept. These things have knit my soul
unto this people "in the bowels of Jesus
Christ "From Sev. Dr. Huake's Address
