It i amusing to read the accounts of the Republican CAnventiocs that are being held throughout the State. In nearly all of tbem the negro plajs an important part. Ha ia fpurred on bj some: few unscrupulous white men and he id always in the majority, but is demanding more now than he ever has before. Daniel Russell, of Wil mington, who said that ihe negroes were savages, is now whooping them up for himself and it looks as if he will be the nominee for Governor. Doekery seems to be leading the be3t Element of Republicans. Russell and Jim YcuDg, hia negro manipulator in Raleigh, captured the convention in Wake county last Sat urday. The Dockery men bolted and held a convention of their own. In Cumberland county they split and held two conventions alto. In nearly all the conventions they have held more or less confusion has prevailed One thing is Quite evident and that U they think they have a change to ta ry the state if they can arrange a fftiion with the Populist, and they are at sea as to how to do this. They want to hold the state solid for the national ticket for patronage and get ihe Govern&r and other moet promi nent state officers. Butler has mo lested fcome of their dreams by fluly refusing to concede to their terms of fusion, aid they are saying all manner of bard things about him. They called him and he showed his hand and they could-not beat his cards. He has got them in a hole and they can't get out withont hi? help and they , can't afford to accepj on his terms. - The action of the Republican con ventions being held all over the ttato, in which the negroes tako con trol of the conventions and run it to suit themselves in some instances, as they did in Wake county, not allow ing the white men any voice at all is enough to drive any self-respecting white man out of the party, and we do net think that the Populist love the negro well enough to fuse and vote with them this year. One thing is certain that the negro is in the ma jority in the Republican party of the state and they do tie voting and they have arrived at the point where they are not going to be kept in the back ground. They arc going to demand recognition. From henceforth you Will see the negro leading the Repub lican party in this state. God, save us from ever living under their rule. The last issue of the Railway Age presents some interesting facts in re gard to recent railroad construction and the prospects for 1S9Q. Hard mti have checked railroad enter prise to such an extent that in 1895 but 1,803 were added to our mileage, as against 13,000 in 1837. Qar pres ent total milcago is 181,000, but this is by no means adequate to the needs of the country. There were last year 20,000 miles "under contract, sur veyed and incorporated," and the Railway Age has on its books some 40,000 miles of "uncompleted and unbegun" enterprises which the silver sear and panic arrested. This mile ge is deferred, not abandoned. In the coming year there will probably be not over 2,000 miles constructed, bat at the first revival of confidence in therfurrenoy of the country there willfo, the Age estimates, 205 lins, aggregating over 10,000 miles, that will at once receive attention. Every one of the forty eight Sjates and Ter ritories except JUode Island, is cred ted with one new line, or more, upon which work has begun, or is txpectcd to begin ia the near fnture.-c-Ex. Tin 8hait of Persia is dead. He was assassinated last Friday by a man dressed in woman's clothing while en tering the shrine to worship. He has held the throne of Persia since 1848. He was 7t years of age. His son, Muzf-Er-El Din. will succeed him on the throne. This new ruler, who has to much name, has four sons 684 fifteen, daughters. SHA W RET A INS II IS S EA T. We are pleased to lern that the House elections committee No. 2, on Monday, decided in favor of Congress man John 0. Shaw in the contest for hia ke&t io Congrss by Cy. Thompson. Shaw will hold his peat, as is just and right. Democrats down this way do not do things by halves. If there had been any grounds for TbonipsouV congest, a Republican Ilou&e would have given the seat to him. Thorop sot could not substantiate his claim, and the retaining of Shaw ia a vindi cation cf the charges brought egdicst the Democrats in this district. Hurrah for Shaw! and the Democracy of the 3rd district. The same committee decided against Congressman James A. Lockhart of the sixth district and his seat will go to a Populist, named Martin. We regret that he has to lose his Boat for he was cno among the ablestrepresen tatives from North Carolina. AN OBJECT LESSON. If any object leeon of tho bad re suits of Republican rulo would bring to North Carolina were needed, they were furciihed by the Republican contention of Wake county which was held in Riieigh yesterday The color line had been drawn in the election of delegates, and there were fewer white delegates than were ever before seen in a Republican coun ty convention. It waa openly stated that in eome of the townships the ne groes bad refused to peruiit white Re publicana to participate, and the re suit was that there were hardly enough white delegates to prevent its being truthfully called a meeting of and by and for negroes. The self respecting portion of the Republican party in Wake county was disgusted at the mob, called, by cour tesy, a county convention. It was nothing msre than a mad, howling mob from beginning to end, without even the semblance of decorum. Ic cantot be said that any business was transacted, for tho howling mob did nothing but howl. Whatever busi ness was pretended to be transacted, was transacted like a man might arrange his private papers in a cjclone. It was rushed through, pell mell without any semblance of parliamen tary order, or pretense of method. In the early stage of tfce proceedings, county chairman Adams sat at the table where tho presiding ofaecr usu ally sits, but he did not preside. Neither did tho permanent chairman, J. C. L. Harris, wbo, usually pro sides with vigor pretend to keep order. News and Observer. AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO GIRDLE THE EARTH? At tho opening of the national electrical exhibition in New York next week an experiment in electrical science will attract the attention of the scientific world, and, if successful ffill be far in advance of anything, that has been achieved thus far. At a certain hour on the 7 th of May, the several line3 of telegraphic cable frni New York to Europe, thcuco to China and Japan, thenco to Australia, thenco to Africa, thence to Portugal; thenco to Brazil, thence to Chile, thence to Central America, thence through Mexico to Galveston, and thence to New York again will be connected in a single circuit, and with an electrical current furnished by -Niagara falls an operator at oca tablo in the exhibition will send a mess3go composed by Mr. Chauncy M. Depew, to another oper ator in the came room, after circum navigating all the continents . of the earth. It is not poEsible like Pack, to put a girdle around the earth, be cause there is no cable line across the Pacifia ocean. A bil is pending in Congress for the establishment of one, and it is hoped that it will soon be en acted into law, but the proposed mes sage will travel a good deal further by the existing lines as described, than if it simply foil wed the equator. Before the close of the exhibition, on the Queen's birthday. President Cleveland will be ipvited to send a message of peace and good will to Victoria the current also on that oc oasion to be furnished by the waters of the Niag ara falls, which is espec ially appropriate since they beloag jointly to Great Britain and the Uuited States. News and Observer.. Senator Tillman of South Caroli na made another of his chiracteristic speeches io tne Senate last Friday. He scored high cfficials in public office, as usual. President Cleveland! and Secretary Carlisle each receiving the larger share. IN NORTH UNA. C A RO Recently, in North Carolina, a Con federate veteran, aged one hundred and one, applied to the State author ities for a pension, stating that, what with age and the tfiVct of wounds re ceived during the civil war, he bad at length become unable to support Lrnstlf. He had volunteered at the age of tisty-seven and served through the war, being wounded several times. Mo'h. hands had been injured by wounds received in battle, yet he has continued till now to work and has refused to receive a pension on the ground that he "did net think it right" to do so while he was able to earn a living, nis application was for the future" .and "no back ar rearages." It was granted, and it is to be hoped that the old soldier will contiutie, af'er his long record of self-reliance, to erjoy his own self respect and the respect of his neigh bors, lie sets an example to the vet erans of the Union aimics which they will honor themselves by imitating. There are no "doubt many Union vet erans who still' refuse to ask the boun ty cf the government because they feel able to provide for their wants. There are honorable survivors on both sides. Bus it may bo inferred from the present enormous number of pen sioners that there axe thousands rc ceiving pensions to which their phy sicial condition does not entitle them, a 1895 the cumber of pensioners, in cluding widows, was 970,52-1, re ceiving 140,959,361. . The number of invalid soldiers on the roll was 751,450, of which - number 365,118 were placed cn the roll under tho ab surd act of 1890. Tho act of 1890 opened the doer wide to fraud and extravagance, so that, according to the investigations of thi New York Herald. "there must be now some 200, 0C0 persons drawing pensions for dis abilities that (io not disable. That the total of pensioners is absurdly large is pltiiu from the fact that the present number is ever one fourth the total number cf persons that fought in the Federal army. Hat a small propor tion of -Confederate veterans have found it necessary to apply for pen sions, and it is unlike'y that the Union veterans aro mora needy. Baltimore Sun. FACTS ABOUT CHINA.

He introduced a bill in the Senate last Friday to make the Mexican eilver dollar, the Japanese yen, and our own trade dollars legal tenders in the United States! It is estimated that the Russian Government will expend between 20,000,000 tnd 30,000,00.0 on the coronation of . the Czar, and that other nations which send representa tives will expend $10,000,000. A good deal of tu-ney to spend in crowning a fellow who may net be worth a continental after he is crowned. Wilmington Star. Oru Conghe-su an, tho Hon. John G. Shaw, has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives appropriat ing 20,000 for a Soldier's homo at Southern Pince. this state; also a bill to re-establish the arsenal at Fayette villo. WThilo Congress is lavishly spending the people's money we would be glad for more of it to come South. Tho re-building of the arsenal would be of great beneGt to tha town of Fayetteville and . would no doubt be of much value to the Union in case of war. AVe hope both bills will pass. ! " The State Democratic Convention of Mississippi declared for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio cf 16 to 1 without waiting for co-operation of anyj .other country, and instructed their delegates to the Chicago Convention to vote for no man for president ; or vice-president who did not fvor silver at that ratio.
