tates to Express Opinion on the Ex-
Chancellor’s Plan of Restricted Suf
frage—-Hamlets and Cross-Roads
Ring With the Cry of the Common
People.
Berlin, March 30.—The Reichstag has
been watching for two days the struggle
between the ministers and the high tariff
conservatives of the Farmers League.
The debates have been bitter, for the
Agrarian leaders have gone at the gov
ernment with all the energy they dis
played in their attacks upon Count Cap
rivi. The peg on which the debate was
hung was Count Kanitz’s famous propo
sal that the government raise grain
prices by monopolizing the grain
trade. The mere announcement of the
subject drew an unusual number of
deputies and a crowd of visitors
who filled the galleries to the last seat.
Most of the visitors were Agrarian sym
pathizers who ignored the rules of the
House and murmured audibly their ap
proval of the big conservative speakers.
They ought to have been rebuked by the
President, but in the excitement of the
debate their offence was overlooked.
The siraiu brought upon the political
world by the demonstration against Bis
marck has been increased steadily this
week by reports of a dissolution and re
organization of the interest of Bismarck -
ians.
At the same time rumors that a re
striction of the suffrage was contem
plated by the Emperor and his ministers
have been revived by Social Democrats
and Richter radicals who evidently be
lieve them and are correspondingly tru
culent. The Agrarians are using every
instrument of agitation to keep up the
popular ferment. Meetings of peasant
farmers are held in all the rural districts
to voice the prctectionist demand for a
new Reichstag and a higher tariff on
grain.
Agrarian literature clogs the mails.
There is hardly a hamlet or cross roads
where the people are not being stirred
up with Agrarian leaflets and bv Agra
rian speakers. The Prussian Landtag
and other Diets have been
impressed into the Agrariau service.
They have rung all the week with the
landowners’ denunciations of the com
mercial treaties and the government’s
indifference as to Agrarian claims. The
Conservatives and their aliies in the
high tariff movement are determined to
win at any cost.
Count Mierbach is one of the few pro
gressives who had the courage to main
tain openly bis friendly relations wi’h
Bismarck when the old chancellor was
under the imperial taboo. He still fol
lows closely every turn in the policy of
Friederichsruhe and in this case he un
doubtedly expresses Bismareh’s views,
for in recent years, Bismarch has hard
ly concealed bis opinion that he made a
mistake in giving the Empire manhood
suffrage.
But few newspapers venture now to
advocate either a disolution or a re
striction of the suffrage. The Free Con
servative Post has come out boldly with
the declaration that Mierbach has sug
gested the one possible way out of the
present crisis
“There can be no real security for the
nation and society,” it says, “until uni
versal suffrage and the secrecy of the
ballot shall be abolished.” Even the
feudal KrtuzZeitung hesitates to speak
as frankly, although its editor, von
Hammersteid, is not less extreme than
Meirbach in his Agrarian loyalty.
Vienna, March 30. —The National
German party in Ike Reiehsrath sub
mitted to-day a proposal that the gov
ernment cancel the order ofGrazs muni
cipal council ggaiLf-t a Bismarck, demon
stration. The Marquis of Bacquehem,
Minister of the Interior replied that the
government could not assent to
the prrposaL In such matters the Aus
trian national idea often eclipsed the
most conspicuous virtue of the great
hero whom it was proposed to honor.
Devotion to one’s own fatherland and
sovereign ought always to come first.
The chamber declined to vote urgency
for the proposal. The promoters of the
project were the only deputies voting in
the affirmative.

The Game in Detail.
“We have met the enemy and they
are ours.” The Green Mountain boys bit
the dust in a close and exciting game
here this afternoon to the tune of 4 to 1
in favor of the University of North Car
olina. The battery work of both teams
was exceptionally fine, bat in team work,
the Vermonters are deficient. The visi
tors piled up 7 hits on Stevens, but so
insignificant were they that nearly all
died at first. Considerable kicking was
indulged in by the crowd on account of
the frequent and prolonged kicking on
the part of the visitors.

Winston’s Development as a Market-
Two Negro Child-Burners on the
Way to the Pen. from Surry.
Special to the News and Observer.
Winston, N. C., March 30.
Surry court closed to-day. The sheriff
of the county passed through Wmston
this evening with three prisoners for the
penitentiary. The two negro women,
Laura and Nerva Strickland, who
burned a little child to death, were sen
tenced to ten and fifteen years respect
ively in the penitentiary. Owing to the
sickness of one sister, they were left in
jail for a few weeks.
During March, 2,027,777 pounds of
leaf tobacco were sold on the Winston
market. This is an increase of 315,325
pounds over the same month last year.
Winston manufacturers shipped over
200,000 pounds of plug and twist to
bacco this week.
BANK STATEMENT BETTER
THAN IT LOOKS.
Comparisons With Last Year Show a
Healthier Movement to the luterior
and Much L'ss Congestion.
New York, March 30.—The weekly
statement of the associated banks shov,
the following changes: Reserve, decrease
$733,050. Loans, decrea.se $2,128,300.
2>pecie, increase $458,500. Legal ten
ders, decrease $2,393,300. Deposits,
decrease $4 087,000. Circulation, in
crease $529 300. The hold
$13,413 450 in excess of the require
ments of the 25 per cent. rule. Com
menting on the foregoing the Financier
says; ■
The statement shows that money is
still go'ng out of the New York banks,
although the legal tenders drawn out
during the week was to a large extent
for the use of interior institutions.
The New York banks, according to
the statement, lost in net ea-h $1,934,
800, which is $3,879,800 less than re
ported the previous week. The opera
tion of the bond s>ndicate are stiil in
directly reflected in ths weekly s'atc
ments of the clearing hous hank 3 as the
heavy decrease of $2,128,300 in loans
indicates. There is no doubt that,
some of the banks which are below the
25 per cent reserve, are calling in money
although the total decrease in loans can
not be attributed w holly to this cause.
The decrease of $4,857,000 deposits is
probably another result of this disturb
ing feature of the money market. Ordi
narily a statement showing the marked
conditions detailed above would be re
garded as unfavorable, but with money
going to the interior, coupled with the
fact that a number of the clearing
banks are carrying a reserve under 25
per cent , it cannot be said that the
showing is a bad one. Just one year
ago the banks were carrying an excess
reserve of $83,600,150, their loans were
forty millions less, deposits were almost
44 million dollars higher, and money
was flowing to New' York at the rate of
several million dollars a week.
The Philadelphia* Won Both Games.

RALEIGH, N. C., SUNDAY, MARCH 3', 1895.
EWART HOTLY SCORED
A REPUBLICAN WHO KNEW
CAUCI 8 SECRETS REPLIES
TO THE “JUDGE.”
SOME SEVERE DENUNCIATIONS.
A Raleigh Printer, Born in the North,
Reviews Some «t the Caucus and
Legislative Acts ol the Would-be
Judge of the Criminal Circuit ot
the Western District, and Tells Some
Inside History—“ Let us Dictate the
Appointments to the Governor.”
Raleigh, N. C., March 28.
To the Editor of the News and Observer.
The turned down, caucus elected,
would be Judge of the Criminal Circuit
Court of Buncombe, etc., counties, takes
the medicine administered by Political
Doctor Carr with a very wry face, and
accuses the Governor of gubernatorial
malpractice. Severe cases call for heroic
treatment. Probably the Governor had
heard of the following language used in
caucus, and considered it a severe case:
“Mr. Speaker, I have no confidence in
that man [the Governor] politically,
since he has come under the control of
the Democratic ring. And, Mr. Speaker,
the people of North Carolina have turned
the State over to us, and we will do as
we please with it. Let us dictate to the
Governor in the matter of appointments, j
and show him that we have some voice
in the matter.”
Probably he had heard, too. that a [
“committee of three of our best lawyers
be appointed to examine the Constitu
tion and see if there was any way in
which the Governor’s prerogative could
be gotten over.”
Be this as it may, the principal con
cern of the laboring masses of the State
is not so much that a political demagogue
has been turned down, but that an
avowed enemy to organized labor, and
in fact to labor irrespective of organiza
tion has been removed from a position
in which he could have been a menace
to it. Mr. Ewart's position in the j
award of the public printing betrayed
the man. Electud on a ticket that
promised relief to the commonality of
the State; professedly a member of a j
party pledged to the interests of the
men who m..ke millionaires, who pay
not alone the;r own taxes but the taxes
of the landed aristocracy of the whole
country—he forgot his pledges, or rather
ignored them—spurned the ladder l>y
which he climbed, gazed into the
clouds, and scoimd these of leas
degree. Hear him: “I am very
sorry tor the printers, but they have got
to reduce their wages; they have got to
come down; everything else is being re
dueed, and they must go with the rest.”
Sorry, indeed! A whining sycophant, of j
all things most contemptible.
He had heard the caucus declaration: 1
“Yes, we are a party of reform. But we I
are nos to apply reform to ourselves. It
is noth ag more than right that those
who Lave borne the brunt of the fight
should be paid for it.”
And again, on the occasion when a
clerk protested against having assistants
forced 00 him by the caucus when he
had already more assistants than he
could employ, he listened to these j
woros: “Mr. Speaker, I am at rigut
“mart cost in Raleigh. 1 have paid my
boy's board ever since the Assembly I
met, and it’s now half done, and he’s not
got a job yet He is just as competent j
as any member of this caucus to do j
clerk’s work, and I demand that he be
put to work We, who have carried
this fight to the finish, ought to be paid {
for it.” And he was put to work.
And that same nigut Mr. Ewart re
ceived his pay (or thought he did.)
To sum up: Mr. Ewart, you went into
the canvass to win; you won by the votes j
of those, and of that class, you are so
sorry for; youthen repudiated their in
terests and helped award a contract that
not only forces that class to reduce j
incomes, but sends the State’s money out
of the State to pay for the State’s work
that ought to be done by its eitiz ms.
Also, you introduced and had tabled
a bill to regulate the hours of work in
mills and factories, etc. (Perhaps the
visits of mill owners to the capital had
something to do with that.) And in no
way can it be discovered that you, by
vote or advice, did one thing in favor of j
your laboring constituency. So the
laboring classes of the State, so far as
informed, say Amen to Governor Carr’s
action, and will emphasize it at next
election.
This is not, written by a Democrat, but j
by a Re publican, and one, too, woo Las ;
a most emphatic damn for any man, no
matter of what political faith, who will
join in with a popular movement, or
scheme, inaugurated by another party,
for the purpose of riding into power,
and then at the first opportunity show r
the insincerity of his professions by his
acts. * L. W. Smith.

The weather was almost too cold for
