TWENTIETH! OF MAY. ii If- Charlotte Surpasses A ormer Celebrations. Charlotte, N. jC., May 20. Of the many successful ! and brilliant celebrations which liave been held each successive year in Charlottej in commemo ration of the grand j historic memories which had their ori gin in Mecklenburg jin 1775. never was there bne more suc cessful, more popular and more enthusiastic than that which began to-day. The jsunshine was never more bright, the air more balmy, and throngs of hu manity never more delighted. The day was perfect in all de tails and probably the most suc cessful 20th of May that Char lotte ever saw, while the city is gay with bunting, jspangled with stars and ribboned i with: stripes. As the visitor rolls up: into the city his j eyes are daz-j zled with the massive billows: i - J ' ! of ' srorsreous decorations m which the buildings are literally hid. ! I The Trade Display this morn ing was of the most brilliant or ler, rivaling the famojis Balti more Oriole displays There "Were over fifty j float! of the most gorgeous and elaborate fiesign, representing the various rades and industries of Char- otte. One of the most notable f these floats was that bearing hirteen beautiful little girls,' epresenting the (thirteen origi nal States. All were decorated Jn stars and stripes. All the: floats were most costly and handsome in their decorations. Their arrangement was super intended by an expert from Bal timore. The military ade a fine show The procession and ! firemen in the parade was about a! ile long and took forty min utes to pass by. j An attractive eature in the display was a fine how of cattle arid horses. At :30 o'clock the procession halted in front of Sam Jones' abernacle, on and immediately frvron street J the immense Crowd began to fill that great ient where the speaking was to take place. In half an hour al most eyerv seat-under the mam tnoth roof was filled. The erow d present was esiimaxea at o,uuu. News-Observerl ' Senator Vance, Gov. Fowle and Auditor Sanderlin made . speeches. The delebratidn was continued next day with a fire men's contest, and was wounc up with a brilliant fireworks display and a great ball. DOWNS KSiL.iE BLY. George Y. Train Makes it in Sixty Six Days. New York, May 20. Citizen George Francis (Train came in on the Etruria yesterday morn ing 00 davs from lacoma Washington, on his trip around the -world. He has beaten all globe-circling records so sound ly that he thought he could af ford to tak a flav off in town yesterday. He will resume his journey at a o'clock. to-night by the New York Central ! route to Chicago, where lie will take th Chicago and Northwestern rai road to Tacoma. I He expects tp reach Tacoma, which was hijs starting point, next Saturday at noon, thus completing the circle of the globe in 05 4 (lays. The citizen is looking brown and hearty and is greatly elated over his achievement. He calls himself Phileas Fogg, and sayjs that in beating the time of Jules Verne's hero he is now having his revenge out of the novelist for having stolen from! him the idea of the novel "Around the World in Eighty Days." i Free Passage of Fish. The people all over the Stat who live along the various wa ter courses, are beginning to as sert their rights to have the best possible fishing, j There is a State law requiring owners o!f dams on the various streams to construct sluice-ways so the fish may easily pass upward; and under this law several streams have been opened up. Yester day the Commissioner of Agri culture received a complaint from the commissioners of Ca tawba county that the Catawlja river was so much obstructed by dams that it was impossible for fish to pass up. On this complaint the I Commissioner has kserved notices on all dam owners along the riverj to con struct the sluice ways j as re quired by law. This will open the river for the passage of fish from the South Carolina line upward. Hickory Press-Carb linian. The English language is now spoken by 99,861,000 people, or aoout 27, per cent, of the total population of the globe, j Senator Vance Interviewed j Sunday's Atianta Constitution contains a lengthy -interview with Senator i Vance, in which the I Senator expresses himself freely on the leading questions of the day. i In regard to the "Ffidfiral election law. Senator Vance said that the Republicans will! pass the Hoar bill, because it is the meanest. "This till,'' Senator Vance says, "isj the most infernal piece of political machinery for the manufacture of political villainy that was 0ver invented! in these United States. It throws reconstruc tion in the shade. It would make the ghost of Thad Stevens ashamed I if he could see: that bill I and I realize what can be done under it. Everything is to be done subject to the chief supervisor of each State. He alone takes the returns of the supervisors of election and tab ulates them l for the board of State canvassers, so there is no chahce of supervision by even one man of the opposite party. The supervisors of the county stand over the box and watch every ticket put in, and, as soon as the tickets arp put in, they are handed over by the State supervisor to the supervisors of the county, who tabulate them. Instead of sending them to the State canvassing board, they send the returns to the super visor through! the hands of the United States: deputy marshal. The chief supervisor of the dis trict then sits down alon0 and tabulates the returns to; suit himself. There is money in it The supervisors are to bq paid twejnty dollars a day and ex penses. The clerk of the county board is to bej paid ten dollars a day and fees, on every document and every statement and every certificate and so on. You know these hungry Republicans down South, how they need these fees. I am just giving you a hint of what these fellows intend to do. Having secured the Senate by at least a j majority of twelve they will hold the House as long as they possibly can." Ojn the race question Senator Vance is frank as usual. Among other things he says: "The only solution to the race question that I see as possible is for the government jto concerned alone. let the parties Of course the Republicans can jstart the ques- tion 1 when mey see proper When thev j get a little scared by looking at the tariff bill, and fin 1 that they cannot persuade the Kansas farmer to submit to 100 per cent duty on his! salt, and 48 per cent on his iron iwhile he is burning his corn fori fuel, thy begin to talk about the 'nigger' and Southern domina tion over the negro race. I think it is not the policy of the Southern men tb provoke this discussion, neither do Ilthink they ought to shrink from it wlien it is brought up. I think if ihey were let alone, and' there was no possible j interference at all , there is every disposition of humanity, aided bv the old fashioned love for the black race an long the people of the South to- lay, to dojthm justice and to place them jn a position to obtain the fullest civilization that their race is capable jof haVe no doubt' of it. Every Southern man knows that deep down in our hearts we all like the nigger. I can heartily ex press myself on the subject. iiKP tnem exceedingly in every position oi line, except as my rulers and social equals.") Senator Vance spoke of the Farmers' Alliance, and fears that they majy do their friends a damage in trying to defeat the ir enemies. He says: "It is the God's truth that all these evils under which the farmers haye suffered and groaned -have arisen from the policy of the Republican partly. It has com pelled them to sell their surplus products m the' cheapest mar keis in the World and buy their necessaries oi me in tne aear estj markets 6f the world. They have i so hedged our country about with a protective tariff that the farmer now cannot sell his bacon, wheat or beef in Eu rope because! Europe cannot sell us anything in exchange for them, and, therefore, he is burn ing his corn pstead of feeding it to hogs and sending his bacon abroad. The same thing: would have taken place with our cot ton but for the fact that the J Jl J ! . . , it . I jroa or nature nas given us a sort oi monopoly m the crop. So far as England could she has fostered the J growth of j cotton elsewhere with the view to re lieve herself of the dependence on the Southern cotton I fields, and she is now getting the bulk of her wheat from India, Aus tralia and iNew Zealand, and she is getting all of her wool from Australia; and whenever she can, by building j railroads and stimulating native produc tion get her supp from India, there what on the face les ot cotton is no telling of the earth will become of the! Southern people. The policy of the Re publican party has been to de- stroy, so iar as it could, tne profits of cotton growing in the boutn, just, as ix nas ine pronis of corn and wheajt in the West. Now when a man has been driv en to desperation, as has the farmer, and gets a chance to re dress his wrongs he don't look at 'things as nicely as the lord chancellor or lay jdown his rules ancl regulations according to He hits back the strict square. and retaliates on those who have oppressed him. j He strikes blindly at everybody that is in his way and like a man on the court green who Js spoiling for a fight, he will strike one of his friends rather than not to have a fight at all: and now on the eve of a Congressional election when wq need thf utmost una nimityin the Democratic party, I am very much afraid that the Alliance people will damage the party." The New Bishops. I i ; ; Below is a short sketch of the lives of the two Methodist bish ops elect': Rev. Atticus jt Hay good was illei Ga., Nov. born at Watkinsy 19, 1839.
