R-A-LEIGr-H, 2ST- O. wEDmnAr..J!VC)cTOfefiR , is&. WH.lTAREWEDOIXa? ; , Not quite .four.. weeks remain to us in which to get ready for election day'. On this day four weeks, indeed, the Register expects to announce the result. If that . result is to be a Democratic victory, Dem ocrats must straightway perfect their or ganization. What Democratic - victory means, readers of the Register need not now be told. Tbey know full well that upon it depends the preservation of the liberty of the citizen and the prosperity of the State'.' But1 they will be grievously disappointed if they rely solely upon the justice of their cause. The right does not at ail times prevail in this world. To make success certain, right must be backed by might, and jn political campaigns there h no might greater than that found in thorough, effective organization. How far, thea, has this; been accom plished? Are the Democratic LExecutive Committees, both County and Township, ; organized and regularly at work? If not, why not ? Is there a Clevel asd & Scales club in every Township, and is its work- ing committee in every Township doing its duty? Has it yet been ascertained how many voters there are in the several Town ships and how they will vote? If not, why not? These things may not be left undone without peril to the party. Pub lic speakings and circulating documents and sending out newspapers will not of themselves bring out a full vote on the day of election, for the simple reason that pub lic speeches and documents and newspa pers do not reach, at the most, more than about half the people who vote. The very people who are indifferent about going to the polls and who need urging and spur ring up to do their duty, are the very peo ple who never hear a public speech and never read a political pamphlet or a politi cal newspaper. These people have to he reaehed in other ways, and no better way has yet been devised than that provided by the machinery of the various Executive j Committees and the Working Committees j of the Clubs. It is the local neighborhood i work in jthe several Townships, performed' I under the direction of the Township Ex ecutive Committee and of the Club that j ensures success. I Arc our friends doing that work ? That is the question for men to answer who feel that the future of North Carolina depends upon the result of the coming election. If this work is lieing done we need fear noth ing: if it is not being done we mav well year they are expected to do their level best for Governor Brogden, who opposes Colonel Green's reelection, and the Reg ister has no little curiosity to know if thev can be made to "toe the mark'' for the writer (in 1882) of the newspaper ar tide on "The Color Line" elsewhere re printed to-day. Almost as great is the Register's curiositv as to the line of ar gument by which the Governor hopes to attract colored voters to the party whjch feeds them on an economical "buzzard" ration and employs them only as spittoon and closet cleaners. Things have not changed since 1882, and the Governor was thoroughly informed of the then condi tion. He had for long years been eating "turkey" and providing the spittoons, &c, to be cleaned and the "buzzard" to be eaten by the colored brethren. The Governor has commissioned Col. W. F. Beaslet, President of the Confede rate Home Association of North Carolina. a delegate at large from North Carolina to J the JUeventh .National Conference of Char ities and Correction, at St. Louis, next week. It is an excellent appointment, and Colonel Beaslet will be a valuable member of the distinguished assembly. The Register hopes also that the assem bly will in turn be of material use to Col. Beasley in forwarding as it doubtless can the great charity to which he has devoted mind and heart, and both are very big. As for hjmself, the man whose gallantry won a Colonel's stars and who command ed a Confederate Brigade in battle before he was twenty will quickly win the regard or his peaceful associates by great good sense and unfailing good humor. In whatever company he fiuds himself, he is "a weir-spring of pleasure," though by no means "a babe in the house." THE COLOR LINE A Viewed by Gov. Brogden In 1882, If truth and justice would, have any ef fect with the, colored j peoph la 'causing them, to form an unprejudiced opinion, it might bo well for them' to consider how much they have" been mistaken and de ceived by many designing men,' whom they have regarded as their leaders and best friend. The colored people have been taught to oppose the Democratic party, right or wrong, as a sentiment and not as a principle, without properly considering the error and delusion into which such a blind and reckless course would lead them. The Democratic party are better friends to the colored race than the white RADICALS WHO ONLY USE THEM A8 TOOLS in elections for political purposes. It seems that the colored voters do not think how often they have voted the Radical ticket, and how little they have been Jjen efited.by it. The white Radicals get the turkey and the colored the. buzzard every time. Now which has done most, for the rntnr. ed people of North Carolina? Of course the Democratic nartv has done more for , j . - - the colored people than the Radical party has done, and impartial history will .show Al " -3 "Ll i - mat mis is unuemaoiy true. IT WAS A DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE a member of Congress from that State for several years, and was familiar .with the duties of the office. He was nominated merely as a joke, but was not elected.V At the organization of the 4?th Con gress the Republicans had a clear majority but Jtainey.was left out, and Edward Mc pherson a white Republican from Penn sylvania, was elected clerk. His salary ia $4,500 with an additional allowance of $600 for horses and wagons, and large ex tras besides. There were about 150 ap pointments at the disposal of the Speaker, Clerk, -? Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper of the House, and many of them with salaries ranging from $3,000 to $3,000 a year, and they arc only on duty when Con gress is in session. All those appointments are now held by white Republicans, except the laborers, the SPITTOON CLEANERS, AND PRIVY CLEANERS who are of course colored. The white Republicans get the wheat and the col ored the chaff or cheat. Ohio and West Virginia hold their elections on Tuesday next. As wdl as one can judge at this distance, West Vir ginia is safe for the Democrats and Ohio for the Republicans. The certainty that Ohio is a Republican State prevented Judge TnritMAN's nomination at Chicago. Messrs. Blaine and Logan arc telling the people of West Virginia how glad they are to be there this week. Next week, the people of West Virginia will tell them how little their visit was enjoyed. STATE POLITIC A I ITEMS. fear cicrytbing. This is no time for doubt. for uncertainty, for guessing or for trust ing to luck. We can safely trustrto noth- ; ing but hard, constant, steady work. ' Every man ought to talk with his-ncigh- j bor and find out how he is going to vote' m w units iu give an intelligent and re liable report of the condition of affairs im his neighborhood. In this way only can the ignorant become informed and the lukewarm be made interested. All that i needed is for the people to be fully in formed of the interests at stake upon the issues now liefore them, and a full vote which is but another i ame for a full ex pression of the wishes of the people will be brought out. -. , Many people listen to a wrangle be tween candidates on the stump and turn away with a verv decided iiiiin.u;.i, ii,,t - - "S.'J-J lltili, there is truth in the statement that there i now. but on different routes James A. Leak, Esq., is the Democratic nominee for the Senate in Anson and Lnion. John B. Holman is the npninmC. candidate lor the House in Iredell place of A. C. Tomlin, declined. Hon. Oliver H. Dockery is the Republi can nominee for Congress in the Sixth Dis trict, and R. M. Norment, of Charlotte, the candidate for Elector. ' The Perquimans Democracy have nomi nated for the House, Theo.

" There were no new features in the discussion k;ak fc - . , i mreauy oeen reported ana re-written a score of times In Register. The candidates lmth t : " thot tnfnaed new life into (lin frio nnlo in this State, for before they took hold of the free school system it was a mere sham. TJia "Rjidirftlsi had so snniindpred tho froo school funds that there was no money left to support tne schools, uut when the Democratic Dartv came into power thev brought order out of chaos and revived tne scnoois Dy taxing tnemseives and their own property, through their representa tives, for the support of colored schools the same as white schools. IT WAS A DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE that first furnished State aid to the Rtntn colored normal school at Fayetteville, for the education of colored school teachers. IT WAS A DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE that first provided for the erection of a large and commodious colored institute at Raleigh for the free education and support of the colored deaf and dumb and blind, which has been, and will continue to be, if the Democratic partv continues to con- j. 1 " . i- ' i i i i i i. . . inn it. oi mcaicuiaDie oeneut to tnose un fortunate classes of the colored race. It was the first institution of that kind that was ever built in the United States for the separate and exclusive education and sup port of the colored deaf and dumb and the blind. That noble public charity of the State will stand as a monument to the humanity and generosity of the Democrat ic party. It is shedding its benign bene- nis ana Dressings upon the poor unfortu- j nate colored children of the State. It is I supported by liberal appropriations, made j by Democratic Legislatures, by taxes upon j all the taxable property of the State, and j it would be absurd to deny that seven- j eighths of the money raised by taxation, j for support of free schools and all charit- j I aDie institutions for the enlnrerl rano 10 I in j paid by the Democratic party. j IT WAS A DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE that first provided for building a large in sane asylum, near Goldsboro, for the sup port and. care of the poor and unfortunate insane of the colored race. A large addi tion to the Colored Insane Asylum- is now being made, to make room for the insane patients who may be carried there for sup port and medical treatment. This is an other charitable institution for the support of the colored insane and another monu ment to the real and substantial friend ship and generosity of th- Democratic party of this State to the colored perade. The Democrats have shown that they are better friends to the colored race, on ac count of their misfortunes, than the Re publicans of Massachusetts have shown. The Constitution of North Carolina was amended by the Democratic party in 1875 '76, and it secures the same rights to the white and colored race alike. It excludes no colored man from voting because he cannot read and write, or because he has not paid his taxes. In STED.TIAN AND FAIRCLOTH At Fayetteville. Fayetteville Observer. - Major Stedman had the opening speech and spoke for one hour and ten minutes. He is, as many of our readers know, a man of splendid appearance, his voice is good, his English of the best, and his ac tion that of an orator. Judge MacRae and General Ransom say that he has made a great impression throughout the middle and western counties, and his debate with his Radical competitor here delighted his friends beyond measure. Judge Faircloth is a good looking man, whom Stedman accurately describes as the best man on his ticket. But he is no match for his competitor. He labors as if he wished he had not undertaken the busi ness before him ; and gives up the ques tion, in endeavoring to avoid the- defen sive, by claiming that it is of the present he wishes to speak, not of the past not of that black, damnable past of reconstruc tion in North Carolina which makes the record of his party in this State. But it is by this record that his adversary insists his party shall be judged, now that it asks to be reinstated in power, for it has no other record here. WHAT IS THE REPUBLICAN RECORD It is that of a party which found a brave people, lately released from war and stripped of nearly everything that a cen tury of domestic ueace had enabled them to lay by, struggling manfully to regain their foothold, and which under the Canby Constitution made the condition of that struggling people in what should have been peace worse than that they had suf fered in war. It upset society as four years of war had not donef It set neigh bor against neighbor. It saddled the State with a great debt, and squandered the school funds; and yet neither built rail roads nor educated children, though pro claiming itself the party of progress, en lightenment and civilization. It declared that its mission was to restore peace and good government ; yet it harried the peo ple with an armed body of ruffians, uuder ivirk, and broke up their peace, and es tablished a government that was a stench in the nostrils of the world. To-day, except where the Federal hand is felt through the internal revenue and the tariff, peace, and happiness prevail. Do the people wish to change this for what the record of Judge Faircloth's partv warns them to avoid? RICH RICHER AND POOR POORER. Ransom at Fayetteville. Fayetteville! Observer.

Thus administered, govern ment remains the creature of the sovereign people and is a popular one. But if, by any legerdemain, it is made to serve the few at the expense of the many, the work of its rev olutionary founders is destroyed and their purpose set ai naught. How recreant to duty to himself and his neighbors and all he holds dear is he who, for any reason, permits the great opportunity, which comes to him but once in four years, to pass with out making his voice felt in the choice of the man to whom the great executive con trol of this crent. nation ia then delptrntpd - o - tr Especially faithless to duty is the country man. For in the country is the real home ; in the country is fixedness of life; in the country, man realizes in his possession of the broad land, which God made, his owner ship of the immutable earth which does not change as city houses, and merchandise, and stock, and bonds. Freedom dwells in the country; and its best advocates and defenders were the Anglo-Saxon fore-fathers of the dwellers in the rural South. The duty of voting, therefore, appeals with aptest force to the Southern white countryman. It is for him to be vigilant, and to profit by his vigilance in voting. What will he see to-day? Unheard of riches accumulated in the hands of a few men. j The smaller kinds of manufactories and i the smaller developments of enterprise in any department of human endeavor lan- i guishing or driven out of existence by the j great establishments at the North which defeat competition. Capital is as necessary ; to labor as labor to capital, and the Dem- ocratic party makes no war upon capital ! in a normal State. But it is the nhnm-mnl i and unprecedented accumulation of riches j in the hands of a few that is complained j of. Are the people getting richer? Does j the laboring man and mechanic at the ! South get wages that purchase as much as ; formerly? Is he sharing in the tempting : extravagance of wealth in which Mr. Blaine says the country is rolling? Nolj The peoDle toil and toil, but the mnner ; j goes into the hands of the Monev Kings. ! is reaiiy no aitterence between parties; at least only a verbal disagreement, a differ ence hot of measures but of men,, and sometimes 'apparently 7io great difference 1 between the men. Why. then, trouble themselves to vote? Read -rs of the Reg ister have learned, or the Register has wasted a deal of labor, that there is a very great difference between the Democratic and Republican parties in principles, meas ures, and candidates. But let all that pass, and assume that there is no differ ence in measures,: and only a difference of names in North cjarolina. It is even then no less the dutywd the interest of every good citizen to gf to the polls id vote for the Democratic tickets. In the Demo cratic party in Nirth Carolina, the best, the purest, the wisest of its citizens are enrolled. With them originate all the active measures,' the officers the mere chan nels, should they be ordinary men, through which these measures flow. In the other party there is scarcely an individual with the honesty requisite for desiring to cam out the projects -they affect to propose, or the talents necessary to carry them into effect them. lerence. it was this difference which brought ruin to North Carolina fourteen years ago.

Now iwhere is the re spectable colored wn who would be will ing to exchange, if he could, the Consti tution, and laws of North Carolina for the Constitution and laws of Massachusetts? If there be such a one, he must be influ enced by ignorance and prejudice, and not by reason and common sense. In Rhode Island, ANOTHER REPUBLICAN STATE, and that has been so all the time, a color ed man is not allowed to vote unless he owns real estate of the assessed cash value of $134.00 at least, and shows his tax re ceipt for the same year, before he can vote.

I THE INTERNAL REVENUE. I Judge Faircloth says his partv is op j posed to the internal revenue, and will I abolish it. Why have they not abolished it? They have had the power. But they exercised it to abolish the income tax and ; the taxes on bank cheques and perfumery. AS TO THE TARIFF. Nobody wants a protective tariff but ! those who hold the Monev Power. If the ! protective tariff does not make goods higher, it has ceased to protect. If it J does, lower the tariff and make goods : lower by competition with the world. The j home market theory of Mr. Blaine, adop ted by Judge Faircloth, would not doctor the price of cotton and whpat ic mmiiiitni by the price of these products in Europe. HWE f AIKCLOTH. WHO ARE THE MONEY KINGS i Yanderbilt is worth 150 millions; Jay Gould 100 millions; Russell Sage 100 mif lions; Cyrus W. Field 100 millions; Armour, the pork packer, 50 millions, &c. Meanwhile, what is the condition of the people who dwell near those Money Kings? 100,000 laborers out of employment and striking ruines unworked, factories stop ped. What produces this state of things? What makes the poor man poorer; restrains the endeavor of the ambitious and indus trious man of small capital; and at the same time heaps up the vast riches of the rich? Two things : The system of taxation the internal revenue and the high or protective tariff, And the accumulation of money in the vaults of the Treasury. 1. The Senator illustrated the working of the protective tariff by exhibiting an ounce phial of quinine, which is one of the articles the Democrats in Congress had finally had the duty taken off of. Before the protective tax was taken off, it cost to import $3.85, now it costs at the manufac tory $1.05. The difference, $2.80, went, not a cent into the people's treasury for the tax nrevented ininortatinn hnt intfi j the pockets of Powers & Weightman, the j Philadelphia manufacturers. As to the internal revenue, nroof whiaL-r could be made for from 1 83 cents to 25 cents a gallon. Yet the government taxes whisky 90 cents a gallon four times its value. Tobacco that averages 10 cents is j taxed 10 cents, And the same tax is laid on tobacco worth $2 per pound. So with GOVERNOR VANCE made one of his best speeches hereJ to-day and created the utmost enthusiasm among the Robeson Democrats. 0 A little before one o'clock he was driven to the gsove in the northern portion of the town in a carriage drawn bv four fine horses and escorted by the "Lumberton Cornet Band and a large procession of jjeuiocrauc norsemen. Governor Vance delivered in his happi est style a speech of three hours' duration, and never have I heard him make a better effort. The iniquitous course pursued by the Republican party and ruinous effects of the measures adopted by that party were demonstrated beyond a doubt, and the honest Republicans, those who are such from principle, were exhorted to "flee the wrath to come" and unite with the Democratic party in their effort to se sure a just and economically administered government. The solid shot of sound ar gument, driven home by the scathing fire of inimitable wit and ridicule, had tre mendous effect, and loud and often were the cheers sent up by his thoroughlv aroused listeners. YORK'S INCAPACITY for the high office to which he aspires was I forcibly impressed upon the minds of the pvupic, uu uis ignorance of political ques tions humorously stated. "In fact,'' said Vance, "I believe you might shoot at him all day with a gun loaded with buckshot and they would not penetrate through his ignorance sufficiently to bring a drop of blood.'' - Gov. Vance closed his speech with an earnest appeal to the people to bury all local dissensions and work together for the successof the common cause in the county, State and national elections. - The neces sity of THOROUGH ORGANIZATION, earnest work by every true Democrat, aud above all things to vote the entire Demo cratic ticket, from county officers up was urged, apparently with good effect. The speech and presence of Governor anee inspired the Democracy of Robeson with renewed courage and a determination to achieve a more glorious victory than has ever yet been won in the county. . Captain Norment, the Democratic nomi nee for the Senate from Robeson and Co lumbus having declined, the convention reassembled to day at this place and nom inated Dr. Lewis, a prominent citizen of Lumberton. who accepted. E. R. Wood. In his reply, Judge Faircloth made no point worthy of note, beyond those allud ed to above, except wi'th respect to the county government system, and the need of protection for the infant industries of the South. With resnect he asked if the people wished to continue the surrender of local self government Major Stedman covered the point when he said that before the adoption of the pres ent system the government of twentv three Eastern counties was in the control of negroes, who paid no taxes and squan dered the money of those who did. With respect to the infant industries of the South, what thev need if they need what the North had when its industries were in their infancy is protection against the full-grown industries of the present North. Does Judge Faircloth propose to advocate a violation of the Constitution for the sake of inter-State protection? Does he advocate a tariff wall around North Carolina to keep out Chicago-made buggies, so that McKethan's carriage fac tory shall again become what it was before the war, with its scores of happy and well paid mechanics? The Judge is fond of pursuing theories to the end. Let him work out this. ; . 1 i"- I"-1"'"- jv 1 j ..am. ui luieresi amoD" the whisky, the rich man's fine whisky and the ! masses.

The campaign in this State has apparently been the dullest ever known, up to this stage of the can vass, although the Republicans declare they are making satisfactory progress, and the Democrats are loud in claimino- the State by 20,000 majority. The Democrats have done no systematic work. They are sorely pressed for funds and have confined all their work to stumping and makino- a big show with cavalcades as escorts for their speakers at the towns. The Repub licans have avoided noise and the hurrah of previous campaigns, and have done cons!derable execution in the counties west of Raleigh. They are now turning their attention to the eastern counties. All their efforts are directed toward getting out a full vote without ntt;,,,, i 5 tention of the enemy.

The New York Globe, a publication de voted to the interests of the colored race says that "Pennsylvania's colored popula tion of 85.535 is as completely ignored by the politicians as if it did not contain 30,000 colored voters, while the colored population of New York, numbering about 65,000 souls, with a voting force of 25 000 enters no more into the calculation of poli ticians here than if it was a disfranchised element."

Contrast the condition of things which are affected by the State government. In '69, '70, '71, the Republican party was in entire possession of the State gov ernment, and backed by the National gov ernment.

I From the Boston Herald. J I started the other day to make an esti mate of how much money had been paid r to Mr. Blaine by railroad corporations and J- piivuic pviDus line lie was l it uiigrcsr,' for which the only possible consideration on his part was the use of his influence as a member of Congress in their behalf. The first thing I remembered was that Mr. Blaine got 12 one-thousand-dollar bonds of the Kansas Pacific Railway from J. B. Stewart at the time when the Government mortgage was made a second mortgage. The evidence of this was the statement of Mr. J. Wi Knowlton, who was a clerk in Stewart's law office, and who was called in to witness the transfer. In a suit which went to the Supreme Court, Stewart filed a record of an assignment.of these bonds, and it is to be seen there to-day. If Mr. Blfline ia elected h 511 be trio firct mi.in. ber of Congress whose corruption is a part of the records of the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Knowlton I personally know. He was an able and honorable lawyer and journalist, ne had no motive to misstate facts about Mr. Blaine, against whom he had no personal cause of com plaint. Mr. Blaine's subsequent efforts to cast discredit upon Knowlton's statements caused a rupture between his father-in-law, the Hon. A. G. Riddle, (Garfield's friend and biographer,) and Mr. Blaine. I next remembered the Little Rock and Fort Smith affair, in which, as Mr. Fisher's letters prove. Mr. Blaine, instead of being a loser, came out with a handsome profit. It is difficult to say just how much he got out of it there is so much trickery and lying about the business but it is proba ble he did not make less than f 50, 000 out of that. All the bonds he took back from the Maine people and sold to Tom Scott, F. B. Hayes, and the other railroad men. he solid at an advance. It would not be surprising if he made a o-ood deal mn than 150,000 out of it. It is sufficiently clear that he got $64,000 from Tom Scott alone to help him out with his Maine friends. All the bonds he took back from them he sold at a profit. He got paid twice over for the $24,000 he advanced to Mr. Pratt. It was a "very soft thing" for him in the end, in spite of all his pitiful letters to Fisher. I next recurred to the Northern Pacific transactions. This is first introduced to us in the letter of Blaine to Warren Fisher of November 25, 1870, wherein he pro poses to Fisher to buy a one twenty-fourth share of the Northern Pacific for $25,000, which sum Fisher paid to him. Mr. Blaine held this sum evidently to use-to compel Fisher to settle un some ntKer mot,.-.. . . r ' i iiictiitin. Finally Blaine was forced to pay back this money. I can here contribute a useful little fact to the sum of human knowledge about Mr. Blaine's railroad transactions. He sold this very interest to Mr. Frederick Billings, of Vermont, for a larger sum of money. At the same time an arrangement was made by which Jay Cooke bought a housejor him here, and took a Northern Pacific mortgage that is, he was given certain securities, and evidently used them to pay for the house. I am informed that all these securities were presented to him by Jay Cooke, and never cost him a cent If he ever paid Mr. Cooke any money Mr Cooke is alive and can testify to the fact" From this quarter he must have received considerably more than $50,000. I next remembered all the details of a transaction by which Mr. Blaine made $o7,000 out of the construction company nf tlm I,-..-., T?i.. 1 1 .. j - . ..1 - w"ala"s auu oioux Citvliailroad. I he facts were given to me by the man who engineered the whole concern Mr Abner Coburn was allowed to invest some thing over $100,000 for a short time, and Blaine never put in a cent. It was, in fact a gift to him. It was given to him because I ?e w as 1,1 congress and was a useful friend ! It was given to him for precisely the same I reason that Oakes Ames placed the Credit ! Mobilier stock "where it i .!. ----- ... ..wMivi uu me , i most good.n I ! I next remembered that Blaine was a ! j shareholder in the Credit Mobilier on the I same terms a, (or better terms than) Dawes, Garfield, Wilson, Bingham, and all the ilt.1 oi me statesmen. I be eve T sr.-ite fact within the personal knowledge of Mr i ?rCS ,e-n 1 My that akes Ales allow ed Mr. Blaine to cut out the page of the little memorandum book, and afterwards went into the committee room and held his silence, while Mr. Blaine swore himself out of the scrape. Mr. John B. Alley has often and most positively assured me that any statement from anv quarter that Mr Ames corroborated Mr. Blaine on that occa sion was incorrect, and he insists strenu ously that Mr. Ames never told an untruth on that or any other occasion. I believe him Mr. Blaine was a stockholder in the reuu Mooiiier. There is a page gone from the memorandum book. It is the I page that once contained the memorandum j of what was paid to him. Since that time Mr. Blaine has been put ! !nto great many good things bv men who i have had interests before Congress He went into Richmond and Alleghany and got out with a good profit, while others j staid in to lose.

ANOTHER "Ml-IUGAS LETTER" Written by Warren Fisher, Jr. Gustave Kobbe, Esq., a New York law yer addressed a great Cleveland meeting in JSew Jersey on Saturday last. He de yoted most of his speech to the financial transactions of Mr. Blaine as Speaker of the House, and concluding his remarks said : ' "I will read one more letter. In a cer tain sense it is a Mulligan letter.

Simultaneously with general compl-,;, among tobacco dealers in all departm, '-M'. oi un unusual uepression in trade t ,,n ( the report of the appearance of a d(-.:r,. tive bug or worm not the well-known tT bacco worm, but a different insect tl ;it said to be destroying large uant;ti!'s f'I tobacco stock. It is more than pos-;, that the two facts have some relaiion t" each other, for, although there is consid" siderable conflict of evidence about ti," weevil, as the bug or worm is named tl c weight of testimony inclines to the alii -J' tion that it attacks chiefly old and dr -stocks of tobacco. ' ThA first ftlnrminn rarmvia a v s ui me WK vji came from Philadelphia, where one ,, .' declared recently that he had found F bucket full of the'insects; that thev !n,i infested and destroyed a large stock (,r cigarettes; that every shelf in hk stvj was swarming with them, and thev w, not killed by insect powder, but worki'.'l their way through it and flew away. n other Philadelphia dealer said that "tl . weevils had developed so enormous! v i few months as to destroy his biisi!1(v.

BIWN. The weevil is described as a dark-brown winged insect, half as big as a fly. w it), sharp-pointed head and a hard-shell lu k The United State Tobacco Journal clined to treat the weevil jocularly, and asserts that the weevil is of no c'onsi quence as a destroyer of saleable tol.-i,T., wears spectacles and a blonde nioust.tf h, and makes a hissing sound. Inquiry among tobacco dealer-? in thi, city yesterday failed to discover anybmiv who tiould give any authentic account ni the weevil, except that it is an insect tli it occasionally attacks old and drv .-tuck' avoiding new stock. The dullness of the tobacco trade i- at tributable to various causes. Some think the influx of Sumatra tobacco under a I t vorable construction of the tariff law hv had a depressing effect, bv depleting tin value of the stock on hand. Others .;lv the tobacco trade has been overdone: that producers have got rich and careless l,v competition among purchasers, so thatth'. quality of home tobacco has run down; un til its value has become naturally ic Certainly, the stock of tobacco on hand in this market at present is immense. ;cml .some great stocks are not worth what they cost. The stock on hand has been c-tf-mated at 350,000 cases, with Weak de mand. Mr. Oscar Hammerstein, who has been investigating the subject, said : "Ameri can tobacco growers have learned that if tney wish to hold the market they mu-t keep up the quality. I do not think the tariff has helped the sale of Sumatra tobac co so much as the quality. The fact i that, although it is sold at a much higher price per pound, it is so much better for wrappers than the American product that it has in a measure taken possession of the market. The fibre is fine, the waste slight, and the color glossy. It is so muc h a favorite that some successful imitations of the gloss and color are made. Already some American farmers have raised tobac co from Sumatra seed with excellent re sults. There is no doubt that the quality UUI loouueo nas oeen deteriorating since first we began to raise it in this countrv. The result is something like the change in what we call sweet potatoes. Any one who remembers the old Carolina potatoes that we used to get knows what a totally different vegetable they were from the sweet potatoes now raised in Jersey and Long Island. 'It is well known that to bacco exhausts the soil, and the same land cannot long be used for a crop. It appears that more attention must be paid to the seed. Heretofore the tobacco buyers have been so nlentifnl that fo-m- u...i . i vn iiiim.i7, iinii nit special spur to produce superior qualities Next year the farmers will find it more difficult to sell. My own opinion is that with the duty removed we "could make cigars for the world. Already the style and quality of New York cigars is recog nized as excellent, but, as yet, foreign to bacco must be used to some extent to make good cigars. It is true that there is one" nrm in Xew York that makes what are called in the trade Havana cigars and vet 1 never buys a case of Havana tobacco. lint with the trade generally, foreign tobacco j is necessary to make a good article, and 1 see no reason why, if the foreign article cam, in free of duty, it would not create a new business and also use up all our native product which now appears to overstock tno m a v L- o a ' . u . oomecning must be done with the present enormous stock and tin crop of the coming year. At present we are practically limited to our own home market." A large tobacco dealer said: "The main advantage that tbe dealers in Sumatra tobacco have is a little clause in the tariff' bill which enables them to slip the tobacco in at a low rate which was never intended, and which was not anticipated by tobacco dealers who bought on the supposition that the tariff was to be high, and have got loaded up with expensive stocks that cannot compete with Sumatra tobacco. Ihe trick was not discovered until too late to remedy it, and thus immense loss ha been brought upon the tobacco trade." A curious feature of the present litiVa tion rnnirt.;nil..rn 1 K ii ".'"'"6 lue i enement House tjigar ."ii, uicu is soon to be considered by the I General Term of the Supreme Court, is thequestion whether, if the bill issustained, it will really prove as advantageous to the interests of the working cigar makers as they have imagined. The scheme of the bill was to prevent the manufacture of cigars in tenement houses, so that the manufacturers might be compelled to get the work done in factories, and thus bring the workmen under control of the trades unions. It appears that there are plans already on foot to introduce a cigar making machine for the manufacture of the cheaper grades of cigars should the Tenement House Cigar bill be sustained. The theory is that the child labor and female labor " which is available in the tenement house system would be no longer available in factories, and that then the machine could come in to do a large part of the work which it cannot be used for now under the peculiar working of the internal revenue system. It is alleged that the maphi ne can produce what are called form cigars at fif teen cents a thousand, for which, under the tenement-house system, $2 a thousand i paid. The fact that smokers are compelled in a great measure to buy a cigar on faith, and to judge only by a look at the outside, has led to a good many devices and e.j dients of manufacturers to deceive. Neither tho size, the shape, the color, nor even the manufacture of a cigar is an protection against imitation not, perhaps, imitation that will deceive an expert, but good enough to impose upon the average purchaser. The use of the dve stuffs t. obtain uniform color, the use of moulds t imitate shapes that have come to be favor ites in the market, and the use of artificial gloss are a few of the expedients. It i well known that valerian is used to satur ate cigars and flavor them to the taste of buyers.
