The reports of correspondents of
the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin,
L.ipd bv the North Carolina Expe-
'TMpnt Station and State Weather
Service, for the week ending Friday,
May 2Jtn, ioi, &uuw mat general
rains have fallen over; nearly the en
tire State except in the southeastern
-Art-ion of the Eastern District from
vew Berne to Southport, where the.
drought still continues. Showers are
probable in that portion to-day (Sat
.:rAv. The area of excessive precip
itation covers nearly the entire cen
tral portion of the State. During
the first part of the week, while,
tl,e weather was warm, the rain
fall was very beneficial, but during
the latter part the temperature fell
rapidly, with northeast winds,
retarding the growth of crops.
In several- counties some in
jury was done by . hail and high
winds. At Raleigh the storm ot the
23d was severe enough to blow down
large trees, but fortunately the hail
was small and did- not last long
enough to do great damage. Grapes
were injured. Rust on wheat has
been reported in two or three places.
Though present the effect of the
rain is reported as unfavorable at
many places, it is believed, after a
few days of warm sunshine, the bene
fit will anoear; ana next week will
cause great improvement in the crop
outlook. In tne districts injured Dy
hail week before last crops have been
replanted and are doing well.
Eastern: District. The weather
has continued very dry in the south
eastern portion along the immediate
coastirom. Newbern to Southport,
where crops are still suffering from
drought. In all other I portions of
the district plenty of ram has fallen,
which would have been of greater
benefit if accompanied by warmer'
weather. In the western and north
ern portions excessive rams and cold
slightly damaged .-cotton and truck
ana retarded all crops. The tem
perature for .the week was 14 de
grees b4ow the average at Wilming

Central District. The early
part of the week was warm with
showers, which were very beneficial.
Latter part general rain occurred
with much colder weather. A vio

damage during the week'in the fol
lowing counties: Wake, Davie, An

The rainfall was in excess and in
jurious to crops chiefly in the south

THE OLDEST REPUBLIC.
A Brief Sketoh of the Burin Confederation.
New York World.
The citizens of the oidest of exist
ing republics have begun to prepare
ior me celebration ot the six hun
dredth anniversary of what is known
in history as the origin of the Swiss
Confederation. - ; ,
An anniversary like this has a spe
cial interest for ,the citizens of the
greatest republic that the world has
seen. The whole area of the 22
Swiss cantons is less than a third of
that of the State of New York, and
their population is a little more than
half. But their history contains
some of the most stirring episodes in
the struggle for human freedom, and
they have been the theatre of ex
periments in the science of Govern
ment even more varied and striking
than those which have marked the
development of the United States.
The league of the three forest can
tons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwal
den probably goes back to the very
beginning of their existence as or
ganized communities, and was
framed long before the art ot the
penman was available for the record
of such ah alliance. It was formally
committed to writing in 1291, and in
it must be sought the germ of the
Swiss Federal compact, which is of
comparatively recent origin. The
everlasting League, as it is called,
had its beginning: among simple peas
ants, who fed their cattle and raised
their crops on the slopes and valleys,
of a mountain-girdled land. No cities
were known in that region, and the
Jaws which governed each communi
ty were made by a general assembly
of the people. The primitive Swiss
canton governed itself like a New
England town, but its jurisdiction
was sovereign, f ts popular assem
bly, which met in" the open air, made
treaties, formed alliances and de
clared war, in addition to regulating
matters ot merely domestic concern.
.Both - the town meeting and the
Swiss assembly are a common inheri
tance of Teutonic freedom, with the
voice of the chief left out.
In time the original . mountain
league was joined by free cities
like Luzern, Zqrich and Bern, and
by 1354 the league of the eight
cantons found its place in the State
system of Europe. It took 160
years to expand this into the con
federation of the 13 cantons, or, as
the historical purists say, of the 13
cities and lands, whose number re
mained unchanged until 1798, when
the Helvetic Republic came into
being under the- impulse of the
French Revolution. In 1803 a new
confederation, composed of 19 Can
tons, was organized under the
auspices of Napoleon, which was
again expanded under the Euro
pean settlement of 1815 into the
confederation of 22 cantons, which
then, for the first time, became for
mally known as Switzerland, and
took their place in Europe as the
composite Swiss nation which we
know to-day. ,
rom the union of the three forest
cantons to the confederation of thir
teen independent and sovereign com
munities the Swiss league remained
pure German. In course of time in
dividual cantons like Bern made con
quests, and so did the confederation
itself. But down to the formation
of the Helvetic Republic the terri
tories acquired by' contest did hot
-rise above the rank of being; con
federates, allies or subject of their
German masters. The artificial
union of people speaking three
languages, but bearing a common
name and organized on a footing of
absolute political equality, is there
fore somewhat younger than that of
our thirteen original States. - .
The old league of the thirteen
cantons can hardly be said to have
furnished a model for the first
loose union of the thirteen Ameri
can colonies, : though it -was by no
means without its effect on the alli
ance under which our independence
was achieved. But as Mr. Freeman
has pointed out, the more perfect
union established by our Federal
Constitution was before the eyes of
those who formed the later union by'
the Swiss Constitution of to-day,
The 'Swiss Federal Assembly is mod
elled after the pattern of Congress,
except -that the Senate possesses no
powers which - are not also given to
the lower house. The executive
power of the Swiss Republic is
confined to a Federal Council,
of which the so-called . Presi
dent and Vice s President of the
Republic are merely Chairman and
vice Chairman, lhe seven mem
bers of the Federal Council are elect-'
ed by the Federal Assembly for
three years, but the President and
Vice President are elected for but
one year, and are not re-elijrible for
election till another year has ex
pired. The members of the Federal
Council can sit and speak in either
house of the Federal Assembly, so
that the executive and legislative
branches1 of the Government are m
constant intercourse with each other,
In these and other respects the
methods of the oldest democracy in
the world are not without instruc
tion to republics of later growth!
The men of Uri and Unterwalden
still assemble in the open air, with
out the intervention .of any parlia-
mentarv machinery, to make laws
and appoint public officers, as they
did 600 years ago. It would, be hard
to find the world over an unbroken
precedent of freedom so well worth
celebrating..
ELKINS AUD THE SEAL BUSINESS.
How
He Got "Into It and Secured
I Help of Blaine.
the
Washington Correspondence Nejp York
1 itnes.
Many people high in official posi
tion have been much surprised at
the ..recent revelations . concerning
the ' nart which S. B. Elkins has
taken in the fur seal scheme which
Mr. Blaine tried to carry through
secretly and then publicly attempt
ed to place the shame 01 11 on jonn
Bull. . - '
Mr. Elkins was brought into this
job in the following manner and for
te following reasons: When the
new contract was awarded last year,
the North American Commercial
Company, of San Francisco, con
sisted of only five incorporators
Isaac Siebas. D. O. Mills, Uoyd
Ferris. Albert Miller, and one other
citizen of San Francisco. Elkins, at
the time of the renewal of the lease,
was interested in another company
which was chartered in West Vir-
einia. and called itself the "Atlantic
and Pacific Company." He was bid
ding then in good faith for himself
and associates, and the day the bid3
were opened he was tn attendance
at tne ireasury Department, and
then went immediately over to
Blaine's house and told the Secreta
ry that 'MilIs has got the contract."
Mills got the contract. He thought
that there were millions of seals and
plenty of influence behind him. He
did not want any more associates .
ne intended to float a ioint stock
company if the venture was not very
profitable, and to hold it with hi
-five associates if "it was. But when
the result of last summer's jwork
came down and Prof. Elliott, the
best authority on seals, declared
that these fur seals rookeries were
in danger of commercial ruin unless
Sealing by the lessees was at once
checked, as well as sealing in the,
ocean, then Mr. Mills .became anx
ious. Something had got to be done.
He was above any such business as
lobbying at Washington. He could
not think of such a thin?. Who
could he get?
Now Elkins loomed up. bland.
oily, and effusive. He was the man,
of course. Why not? He was Win-
dom's business associate, was Blaine's
Dusmess associate, was Russell Har
rison's master, and had repeatedly
hired Benjamin Harrison (the Presi-
aenti io do special legal work con
nected with the many railroad and
mining jobs which have made Elkins
so notorious all over the west. Mills
took Elkins right on. He was the
ready, all-round hustler, andhis pull
was -immense. . ,
Elkins thought very little of such
a contingency as the public asking"
any questions about this matter.- Hef
was- used to political rough-and-i
tumbling, and sailed in to persuade
Blaine and Foster that the orooer
thing to do was to take care of Mills,
Elkins and Company, and let the
British get all the blame of the
shameful act he was to accomplish.
Blaine, not seeing far ahead enough
this time attempted to meet the
wishes of Partner4Elkins, and in so
doing he was uncovered at the last
moment, when he was chuckling
over the fact that the season would
soon open, with his friends in full
swing on the sea Jslands, literally
ruining them while the Bjitish Min
ister slept and trusted for an "early
settlement."
There is a good deal of dynamite
left In the fur seals, even if there
are only a few of them left.

out on a log smoking his pipe. The
services had just gotten well under

Joe's house to tell him that some

Next came the officers of the Ladies
Memorial Association and their distin
guished visitors from abroad, and Con
federate veterans, in carriages, organiz
ed posts of Confederate j veterans and
organized posts of Sons of Confederate
veterans, forming a column two miles
in length. The stars and stripes were
carried at the head of every division,
and also floated from the top of the
capitol. Side by side with them: were
carred many torn and tatterod Confed
erate battle flags which bore testimony
toj the bitter conflict through which
they had been borne. j I
The exercises were ; opened with
prayer by t ather Ficheret, a distin
guished Catholic priest of Vicksburg,
wno naa served through the war as
chaplain. The monument, which up to
this time had been draped in white
muslin, was then formally unveiled by
Mrs. Margaret Davis Hines, daughter of
Jefferson Davis, amidst prolonged ap
plause; while the combined bands ren
dered the "Star Spangled; Banner'1 and
fDixie." , j

Hooker. It was accented on behalf of
the Confedetate veterans by T. R. Mc
intosh, j
Senator K. C. Walthall was orator of
the day. His theme was "The Con
federacy," and he gave a complete his
tory ot the war, from its inception to its
close.
Mrs. Luther Manship recited the
poem by Rev. Father Ryan, entitled the
"Sentinel Song." !
Ex-Gov. Lowrev delivered an address
on the "Life and Character of Jefferson
Davis, in the course ot which he said
that when partisanship had given place
to sober reason and judgment, the his
torian would accord the late President
of the Confederate States the front rank
among the great statesmen of his day,
as well as those who bad preceded him.
His great and varied talents attested by
his many able state papers and by his
many other deeds showed that he
was both scholar and statesman;
and writers of history hereafter would
be compelled to assign to him that ex
alted place. I j
At the conclusion ot ; uov. Lowrey s
oration the benediction was pronounced
by Rev; H. L. Sproles, pastor of the
First Baptist Church pt this city, which
concluded the exercises. ' i
The total cost of the monument is
nearly sao.ouu, ot which over bait was
subscribed by the State Legislature, and
the balance was raised by the ladies
committee on private subscriptions,
concerts and in various other ways. !
The monument is sixty feet four inch

would enable her to capture the swiftest
of ocean greyhounds, 'or to escape from
the pursuit of any more formidable
Craft. This high speed is to be obtained
through three sets of triple expansion
engines, driving three screw propellers,
an arrangement which is also expected
to result in a more economical cruising
at low speed, than is possible with the
drivers at present in use. Vessels of this
type will be a novelty in naval construc
tion. Their performance is awaited with
interest and some anxiety by experts in
the Navy Department.
A number of representatives ot ship
building firms were present when the
bids were opened, as well as members of
different branches of the naval service.
The bids were as follows : Wm. Cramp
& Sons, of Philadelphia,' ft2.745.000;
Union Iron Work, of San Francisco,
$2,798,000; Bath Iron Woiks, of Bath,
Maine. $2,690,000. The result was a
complete surprise to nearly every one
present, as the Bath iron works is com
paratively a new competitor in the con
struction of steel vessels, and has had
no naval work except small ; cruisers
now building.' It was not believed
that the San Francisco firm would be
able to name a low figure, as the Depart
ment s advertisement did not contain
any provision for allowance for differ
ence in freight charges on construction
material, as has been the case in some
contracts. ' But the Philadelphia firm is
already building cruiser No. 12 a sister
ship, tor sz,723,uuo, and as the same pat-
erns could be used for the two vessels,
it was expected that they would be able
to underbid every other concern. The
limit of cost fixed for the cruiser in the
act of Congres is $2,750,000 and the con
tractor may earn a bonas of $50,000
for every quarter knot excess of speed
above twenty knots per hour.
THE WHISKEY TRUST.
One of the CMoago Distilleries on Fire
. jlioss About $100,000. 1
B T Telegraph to the Morning Star.
CHiCAjc.0, June 3. Fire was discov-
ed in the dry room ot Shuffieldt's distil
lery at about 8 o'clock this morning. A
general district alarm was turned in.
bringing a large number of engines to
the scene, and at this nour, 8... a. m.
the flames appear to be under control,
being confined to the room in which
thev started. The loss is roughly esti
mated at 8100,000. 1 he nre is supposed
to have! originated from over-heated
flues in the dry room.
A special from New York this morn
ing said it was understood there that
the Shuffieldt and Calumet distilleries,
the onlV important concerns outside the
whiskey trust, had been purchased by
the trust at a probable valuation of $100-
J000 for the Shuffieldt plant, and $500,000
for the iCalumet, giving the lrust a
clear field. W. H. Shuffieldt, manager of
the distillerv. and son of the oroDrietor.
declares that the report is without foun
dation.! -
Later. The flames consumed the
building used as a dry room and feed
house.) It was a Dries structure, eu Dy
160 feet in dimensions. Thos. Lynch, a
member of the' firm, estimates the loss at
$60,400. . ; . j

NOT ONE SORE NOW.
Baby Afflicted with Bad Sorea and
Eruptions. No Relief. Permanently
Cured by tne Cutlcura.
Purine the summer of 1889 mv eighteen- months'
old infant was so afflicted with eruptions that ordi
nary domestic remedies failed to eive any relief. On '
his hips would often appear the seeming track of a
little wire-like woim, and on other -parts of his body
had sores cyme and remained till I procured the C un
ci; k a Remedies. For some time I nsed the soap and
salve without a blood medicine, but thev did not do
so well as wben all were used together.. It has now
been nearly a year since the eruption was healed, and
I very much feared it would return with the warm
weather of this rear, but the summer is nassed and
not one sore has appsared on bim. .

agony these little ones suffer, and when these great
remedies relieve in a single application the most dis
