It is to be hoped some enterprising traveller will before long visit the Grand Falls in Labrador and tell jus whether they are really the stupen dous affair they have been reported. They are a little over 200 miles from the south coast, near. 65 degrees west longitude. An Englishman named Holme endeavored to make them a visit last summer, bat his provisions ran short, and as the fish wouldn't bite and there was nothing to shoot, he was obliged to turnback when within fifty miles of them. Mr. Holme asserts that the drop from the interior plateau of Labrador to ihe coast region is precipitous, and a? near as he can learn, the waters! of Grand river pour over the edge of the plateau with a drop of about 2,000 feet. Tf it is true, the Grand Fills are in point of height the biggest thing known in their .line, for the largest waterfall in the Yosemite, though about 2,550 feet high, is broken into three leaps, and proper . ly consists of three falls. The Grand river is quite a large stream, while all other falls that approach the re ported heierht of the Grand Falls a-o little more than mountain torrent-. An Hem With .moral, Washington Post.

SIIIXTS AND A SHO UTER. Tarboro Southerner A breezy discussion on the tariff took place the other day between a well known merchant of this place and a high tariff epissary named Kice, of Baltimore. Bice sells "gents" underwear and his prices are enor- mous; on shirts never less than 1 100 per cent. He was here for that; os tensible purpose .last week; and, when without a victim, would advo cate protection. It was during one of these monopolistic talks that oar merchant came up and took np the j cudgels for the people. ... . "I will bet you $100," he exclaim ed, "that the best shirt you make does not cosCyou one dollar. . I Will bet you $100 that the material out of which your best shirts are made does not cost 65 cents." Then the merchant went into details pneeing the linen, muBlins, etc., that are used to making the shirts, and according to his figures, the shirt would cost about fifty cents, but for good meas ure he was willing to allow 65 cents for the material and 35 cents for, the making, laandrying and boxing. Rice woqld not bet, nor could he1 de ny the statement of the cost of! the shirt. ' . t. lint that which makes Rice a pro tectionist did not occur to the mer chant. The tariff protects shirts 208 percent. This accounts for bis ad vocacy of protection. All his talk about the benefits to labor is well a wilful misrepresentation. The shirt makers get for making shirts just six cents piece. An expert shirt maker can, by working fourteen hours a day, make just $1.34 a week. No man but a fool or knave will contend that this is wages and caused by the tariff. . ; For the Star. Master's Office P. of H., Falkland, N. C, July 6, 1888.

Lively Political Discussion la Senate on ibe vetoed Pension Bills The Fisheries Treaty FartherlConsIdered - Forelen Immigration and . tne Tariff BUI considered In tbe House. I iBy Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, July 12. The resolution to print extra copies of the report of the Committee on Pensions in the case of the seven vetoed pension bills, was the text for some political discussions, Mr. Cockrell desiring to have the last of the pension ve toes (the Doherty case) printed among the other vetoes: and Mr. Hawley intimating that the publication of that veto would not help the President or hta party with tbe surviving soldiers of tbe Republic, in view of i tbe assertion that it contained, that there was reason to fear that the case in question would, find a parallel in many other cases that had reached a successful conclusion. " . Mr. Blair' characterized the President 'a statements in the Doherty case as a gratu itous insult to woman. He asked Senators to recall their personal history, and the President to recall his personal history, and see whether silence was not a welcome thing to all. Let him who was without guilt, whether at one end of the Avenue or the other, cast the first stone. Mr. Hawley objected to another sentence in the veto message, to the effect that those who bad influence or friends to push their claims, procured pensions while those who had neither friends nor Influence had to be content with their fate under the general law. Mr. Butler suggested that a great deal of wild talk and mock indignation had been indulged in in regard to the veto. He could not understand why this on slaught, this assault, this attack on the Chief Executive of the country should have been entered upon, and why such epithets had been applied to him. He (Butler) thought he could afford to say that Congress had been too lax, that it had been reckless not only in reference to pen sion bills, but to many other acts of legis lation. Mr. Hawley replied to Mr. Butler. He said he had commented upon the Presi dent's veto messages In the line of his pub lic duty and without any personal ill will, but the language of the President contain ed a covert sling and insinuation concern ing not only the wisdom but the moral integ rityof Congress. There was scarcely one of the President's 178 vetoes that did not con tain something of the kind. Mr. Butler admitted that the President had a direct, sledge-hammer way of get ting at things which was pretty tffectual. Mr. Blair said that the Senator from South Carolina bad criticized with great freedom the action of Congress in regard to pension legislation, and . had appeared to feel that be was justified in such criticism by confessing that he himself was as great a Binoer or the greatest sinner of all. i Mr. Butler replied to Mr. Blair, and re marked that the greatest blessing that could overtake the Senate and country would be for tbe Senator from New Hampshire to be ltss faithful to the line of duty which he had marked-out for himself. If there had been any incumbrance, any incubus, in sensible, respc Cable, orderly discharge of the duties of the Senate, it had been in the person of the Senator from New Hampshire and in tbe measures whica no naa intro duced. . Mr. Bauer went on to say that it was much more manly, much more in accord ance with the standard which the Senator from New Hampshire bad set up in his re marks, to attack him (Butler), where he had the right to vindicate himself, than it was for him to attack the President of the United States, which bad not the oppor tunity of replying to his aspersions. I Mr. Blair did not quite understand what the Senator meant by tbe insinuation that the Senator from New Hampshire was a demagogue. The Senator from New Hamp shire was not a traitor, and was not in debted for bis life to the mercy of his country. ! Referring to an ' allusion by Mr. But ler to his (Blair's) courage, he remarked that while he claimed no excess of courage. and never expected to be called upon to exhibit even the ordinary courage of a Senator or civilian, he would not shrink from any test which the Senator from South Carolina might seek to subject him to. i This closed the discussion. I Without disposing of the subject the Senate at 2 o clock proceeded to the con sideralion of tbe fisheries treaty in open executive session, and was addressed by Mr George in favor of its ratification I At the conclusion of Mr. George's speech the Fortification bill was taken up and it was by unanimous consent postponed until after the passage of the Army Appropria tion bill. The Senate then took ud Senate bill re ferring to the Court of Claims all claims of laborers, workmen and mechanics em ployed under the government since June 25. 1868, for excess of labor over eight hours fixed by the law of that date as a le gal day s work Mr. Cockrell offered an amendment pro viding that any amount allowed shall be paid only to the claimant, (if living), or to his personal representatives, (if dead). He said he wanted to cut off claim agents and attorne; s from getting three-fourths of tbe amount, The amendment was agreed to. The bill was discussed by Messrs. Blair, Cockrell. if ayne, Vest and Stewart, when. without action on the bill, the Senate at 6 p, ra.. adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. i Sessions were ordered for next Wednes day and Thursday nights for the conside ration of bills reported respectively from the Committee on Labor and tbe Commit tee on Military Affairs. Mr. E B. Taylor, of Ohio, attempted to obtain a night session for the consideratien of general pension bills, but a call for tbe regular order, made by Mr. Bland of Mis souri, operated as an objection. Mr. Ford, of Michigan, from the Com mittee on Military Affairs, reported back the resolution for the appointment of a spe cial committee to investigate alleged inva Bions of the contract labor law. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, spoke of the im portance oi the subject matter of the in quiry and thought the committee should be composed of the best men in the House. In reply to a question by Mr. Vandever, or California, Mr. Ford stated that the re solution was broad enough in scope to cover the subject of any evasion of the law against Chinese immigration. Mr. Cox. of New York, called the atten tion of the House to the great necessity of his resolution, to correct abuses now ex isting. There was an abnormal immigra tion to this country by men persuaded to come nere by raise ana traaulent pretenses, instead or mere being the ordinary immi gration from Italy, Italians were coming into inia country at tne rate or eignty thou sand a year, under influences that should be inquired into. There had come into New York in one month 50,000 men, who did not know our language, and who ad ded nothing to our wealth and labor. Mr. Morrow, of California, was glad that tne House at last comprehended the evil besetting the country from unrestricted immigration. The Pacific Cosst had been confronted with the question for thirty years, ana tne representatives or that sec tion naa Deen aecianng over ana over again that the Chinese immigration could not be assimilated. Now New York was confronted by the same condition of affairs. Immigrants were coming in there as slaves, precisely as the Chinese came into San Francisco. After an ineffectual effort by Mr. Hoi man, of Indiana, to limit the expenses to 3i.uou. the resolution was adopted. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Spnngsr in the chair), on the Tariff bill, the agreement being that no vote should be taken on the pending wool ecoeauie to-aay. ; Mr. E. B. Taylor said that the debate would be greatly shortened if the maloritv should agree to allow a yea and nay vote to do taken in tbe House on the wool sche dule, but Mr. Mills disclaimed any author ity to enter into such an arrangement. , Mr. Puseley, of Ohio, opposed the schedule as it appears in the bill, contend ing that it would destroy the sheep grow ing inauairy ana incidentally mase un available much of the poor land of the country. The duty on wool, instead of being reduced, should be increased, and if mis were aone tnere wouia do in the coun try one hundred million sheep instead of rorty million; and two million growers in eteadof one million. Mr. O'Donnell. olwygan. did no' racienze me Silt k favored patting !sugar and rice on the free i list, cutting down the revenue fifty-nine million dollars from these two articles of necestity; then he would reduce letter postage to one cent, and take off the ex orbitant charges to farmers for postage on seeds, plants and bulbs. This would save over twenty-six million more, making eighty-five millions reduction on tnese three articles. He thought this method should be tried to atop the growing surplus, end this debate, and give the country rest. Mr. McKinney. of New Hampshire, spoke of the value of sheep., growing for the purpose of improving poorjand There were three pronts irom -Bneep nrsi, irom their wool; second, from their mutton; aod, third, from their fertilizing proper ties In tbe face or this tact, tne houbu was asked to place a high; protective tariff on wool, in order: that the Ohio farmer might have a better profit, although he had three profits from sheep already. Would there be less reruiizmg qualities in euccp nnrW frpn trade than under protection? It was his impression that the sheep would know nothing about it, ana wouiugo on fertilizing the ground as before. He did not think that the placing of wool on the free list would decrease j the priee of wool in this country, but it would secure cheap er clothes, because it would enable Ameri can manufacturers to compete on -an eauality with foreign manufacturers. Mr. UaS Weil, OI : VV isconsin. proicoveu against free wool, as having the effect of destroying the sheep raising industry in his State. That industry depended upon pro. tection and encouragement. Pass this bill and in less than ten years there would not be twenty million jsheep left in the coun- Mr. liooinman, or uaio, saiu msi iuo placing of wool on the free list struck a deadly blow at one of the : industries of his district; and for this, if for no other rea son, he was opposed to the Mills bill. He favored a return to j the! wool 'schedule of 1867. . . "! . ; Mr. Dockerv. of Missouri, asserted that there was no political party in the country which was hostile to American interests. and he questioned the sincerity of gentle men on tbe other side iwnen iney cnargcu the Democratic oartv With desiring to io -augurate English systems in this Republic. When the interests or tuis country were arrayed against those Of . foreign nations, -the American people! would be found standing as one man in support of their own land. He controverted the argument that free wool would j destroy the wool growing interest. Daring the nigh tarin periOO, irom ICO lO lOOO. mens were va rying degrees of wool production, depend ing not on the I tariff rate, but upon the great law of supply and demand. He said he would have more respect for the ! prophecies of the other side if they had not turned out so badly in times past,! as, for instance. when they naa propneciea ruin ana disas ter to the country and the reestablishment of slavery as the result of Democratic suc cess in the last Presidential election. If the old Mosaic law was in force to-day, they would be stoned to death as false prophets. Democratic applause-! As to this talk about legislation hostile to labor, it would be as fair to expect a motner 10 aeseri ner babe, as to expect the Democratic party, to turn its back upon the laboring man who bad always constituted its bone ana einew. . . Mt. Allen, of Michigan, said that this country could and would produce all the wool it needed. It it were given tne chance. The Democrats had protected all of tbe products of the country south of Mason aod Dixon's line, and in the same breath charged the Republicans with sectionalism If they believed they could striRe at mien igan through her great ; staples, salt, lum ber and wool, with impunity, they would learn better at the coming election. Mr. Farham, of Texac, said that the but bad recived the endorsement and sanction of the Democratic partyj and it had bo come essentially a party measure. He bad some doubt as to the prophecy of the wool schedule, but he had resolved that doubt in favor of the duty which be owed to the party to which he belonged; and in defer ence to its councils be would yield bis own feelings and decline to break its rants Mr. Brewer, of Michigan, said that the flock raisers of the country were receiving from five to eight cents less per pound for their wool than they would be receiving had not the Mills bill been pending. Mr. Dingle?, o! Maine, eaid that if unler free wool there would be a reduction in Ihe cost of material the farmer must suffer by it. It free wool made! clothing cheaper, it was becauso it made wool cheaper and gave the farmer less return !for bis wool. If it did not reduce the price of wool it could not reduce the price of clothing Which horn of the dilemma would gentlemen on the other side take? Even should the price of wool be reduced for a time, it would not be long after free wool crushed out tbe wool producing industry in the United H ates be fore the foreign growers would take advan tage or tbe situation and increase tbe price Every wool manufacturer in bis district had said to him that free wool would in tbe end be a curce to the manufacturing interest of the country. Since the Mills bill had been launched in tbe press 1 wool bad declined seven cents per nouad. Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, regarded the bill as a conspiracy for ultimate free trade, and he attacked its general features, and more ee pecially that feature placing wool on tbe free list. In tbe course of his remarks he suggest d that the Committee on Ways and Means knew that the bill could not be passed. If there was any hopeful member of the committee be (Taylor) would tell blm that the bill would never become a law. Did the gentleman from Kentucky (Breck enridge) think it would? I Mr. urecKinriuge repnca that, be was under the impression that the bill would pass here, and if it did that would be pre aumptive evidence that it ought to pass the senate, (daughter.)

SENATE. , Washington, July j 13. The Senate at 12 30 went into open Executive session. and Mr. George resumed and finished his speech, begun by him yesterday in favor of the rauncauon or the t ishery treaty. When Mr. George had concluded. Mr. Dolph, of Oregon, , followed in a speech in opposition to the ratification of the treaty. , . Mr. Pugh gave notice that he would address the Senate on the fishery treaty next Monday. i j After the adoption of a couple of reso lutions of inquiry directed to the Depart ments ana toe transaction oi some bust cess affecting the District of Columbia, the Senate adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. Blount, of Georgia, submitted the conference report On the Post Office Ap propriation bill. An; agreement has been arrived at, on all of the amendments ex cept that known'as the "subsidy" amend ment. The rate or postage on seeds, plants bulbs, roots and scions have been fixed at one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. It is provided that no contract for rent of third class postofflcea shall be made for a longer period than one year, The report was agreed to, - and then Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, moved to concur in the Senate "subsidy" amend- t, iraamendment reducing the piBl IU e between the United States and China, Ja pan, Sandwich Islands and Australia, and providing that American ships carrying tbe mails shall be allowed ' four times tbe " rate on (he compensation they now re ceive. " ":. H.VV... ' Debate on Mr. Bingham's amendment occupied tbe entire session until the 6 o'clock recess. The question presented in tbe amendment, said Mr. Bingham, was not one of subsidy or boons, but a ques tion as to the readjustment of compensa tion under the laws of 1858, as applied to the sailing of American 'steamships. Un der the existing conditions of 1888, steam ship eomptniee were I not paid by weight, but by the amount of sea and inland post age, and therefore any change in the rates of postage eneciea acnange in we compen sation paid to them. ! When the law was passed under which the present method of payment was established, the rates of for eign postage varied, but averaged more than four times what they are at present under the International Postal Union, and he contended that under this circumstance it wan not 1nst to compensate steamship companies now under the Inflexible law of 1858. I Mr. Blount ofiGeergia, opposed the mo tion to concur, and expressed his firm an tagonism to the subsidy system. That sys tem had been followed by- England, but her action in this respect was political, the subsidies she had given having as ageneral rule gone to her Colonies, with which she must keep up ner connection. Tne same system, as followed oy jrrance and uer many, had resulted in throwing the lines of those nations into bankruptcy, and he was opposed to the United States inaugurating anv such policy. He compared the com pensation paid for mail transportation by sea with inai paia ior transportation oi freight and express matter, tolsubstantiate his argument that the former was sufficiently high and perfectly satisfactory, it was satisfactory to the commercial world and to every one except ship owners, tie spoke by authority when he said that the r ostmaster uenerai was in ravor of the payment of sea and inland postage only. Tbe Postmaster General favored neither the amendment oi tne senate nor the amendment of; the gentleman rrom Pennsylvania, but be believed that the ex isting provisions for service were ample, and that to-day the j United States bad the best mail system on earth. Mr. Dmgley, or Maine, nopea mat wnat- ever objections migu Od raisea to ine Senate amendment, they would not affect the House in the dtcision of the simple question presented by the amendment of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. That amendment involved a fair and reasonable mail pay not. subsidy sufficient to justly compensate American steamships which plied between the United States and South America, and the East, and enable them to be maintained pay sufficient to make it possible to establish other Ameri can lines to run to countries of South America, with whom he desired closer mail and commercial relations. Mr. Holmsn, of; Indiana, attacked the principle of subsidy. Mr. Owen, or Indians, oiscnssea tne amendment in a commercial point of view. and advocated it as the means of advancing the business interest or the united states in the great consuming countries of South America. Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, said that the argument that American shipping did not exist because of the rebellion, which oc curred twenty-five years ago, was to him all staff and nonsense all fuss and feath ers. The trouble was tnat tne government had ont the merchant marine in a sort of straight jacket. It said to (he people wisti- irg to engage capital la navigating tne high seas, "you cannot engage in this en terprise unless you; buy American vessels." xThis was putting the merchant marine in a straight jacket.

She was so poor that she could not subsidize a single ship for a single year, and jet with free trade and free ship stood next to the United States in tonnage and commerce, f Applause on the Democratic side In every port of tbe i world could be tound a Norwegian ship, and the Idea that in this country, with all its wealth and all its re sources, American shipping coul¬ ex ist without subsidy to a few teasship liner. wa9 preposterous, j The granting of boun ties to a few steamship lines would not stimulate commerce, but woull simply arm them with a weapon to fight off all competition. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, made an elab orate argument against tbe system of sub sidies, and contended that the effect of the pending amendment would be to dis courage the building of additional lines, and to enable such poor men as Jay Gould. Russell Sage and C. P. Hunting ton to prevent any competition belog built up to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The system of subsidies would not revive the merchant marine.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Immediately after the reading of the Journal, the House resumed the consid eration of tbe "subsidy" amendment of the senate to tbe Post Office AoDrooriation bill Mr. Peter?, of Kansas, spoke in favor of the amendment, and Messrs. Rogers of AXKansas. oates, or Alabama, and Kay nor, of Maryland, against it. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, closed the de bate in opposition to the amendment, and men nr. tungnams motion to concur in the Senate amendment with tbe amend ment, was lost yeaB 56. nays 186. By a vote of yeas 141, nays 57, the House further insisted on its disagreement to the Senate amendment, and a further con- ierence was oraereo. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on tbe Tariff bill, the pending schedule being that relative to wool. Mr. Outhwaite, !of Ohio, ridiculed the assertion that the effect of the tariff had been to increase the number of sheep in this country. He quoted a remark made to him by a sheep grower in Ohio, to the enect tnat he would surrender all the bene fit which he derived from his clip on ac count of a protective tariff, for the privi lege of buying one pair of untaxed pants. He contended that the woolen manufac turers had nothing to fear from the woolen schedule. The bill presented a fair propo sition a proposition to make a reduction on woolen goods ; equal . to the reduction which would result from putting wool on mo rree list. Mr. LaFollette.of Wisconsln.took up and criticized Mr. Carlisle's speech upon thebill, especially that portion in which the speaker endeavored to show the prosperity of the country during the low tariff decade from 1850 to I860. To do this, said Mr. La-. f oiiette, mr. uanisie bad had recourse to me percentage argument, and had shown mat me percentage of increase in the wooien, cotton, naraware, hosiery and boot and shoe industries had heen verv large. The trick of the percentage argu- moui was mm a manuiacture might be SO small that any increase would make a per centage showing. No argument haui no percentages could he relied upon unless all tne iacts were statea.

Mr. Whiting, of Michigan, denied that the price of wool was less in Michigan now than last year. Mr. Grosvenor replied that it was so in Boston and elsewhere, while Jf T"S SI m t rm ' . ir. xsiDgiey, ui mame, connrmed : the statement as true or Maine. Mr. Ford, of Michigan, said that it was for the country to choose between cheap whiskey or cheap clothing. The' wool tariff was burdensome. There was scarce ly a breeze when the iron and copper schedules were passed upon. But now, backed by a subsidized press, the Republicans tumbled over -one another to get to the front and denounce tbe wool schedule. He did not believe . that the effectof the bill would be to decrease . the price of American wool.

Peter, preaching to tho crowds gathered to see the lame man who hid been healed, gave three reasons , for repentance; personal benefits, general benefits sni uni versal beoefiia. We quote Acts 3: 19, 20 and 21 : "Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out; that so there may come seasons of refresh ing from the presence of the Lord; and that he may send the Christ even Jesus, whom tre heaven must receive until tbe time of restoration of all things." Here be first urges repentance for a personal reason. ' that your sins may be blotted out " That is the first result to fbw from our repent ance But it will not stop there. The work begun in our own hearts will reach out to others. "That so there mar come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord." We mourn over the coldness of our hearts and of our churches Wc long for refreshing showers. Here is tbe way to get them, "Repent of jour own sins " Many are longing for a revival of religion. Let them begin the work of heartfelt repentance. Raleigh Recorder Labor Leader for Tariff Revision New York World.
