AdoMed. and Messrs. Clark, Mc Carthy and Parker, of Alamance, were appointed as the committee, the said charges being that $1,500 had been paid out during the first :iQ days of the legislature when f G would have been sufficient to pay for the work done, the cause of the expenditure of so much money being that he had had forced on him more clerks than he needed, and if the work had been done outside, as heretofore, $1 491 would have ben saved. Not content with this, the officers and the General Assembly were trying to force upon him two Additional (negro) clerks. List night (Monday) the House passed a bill to abolish the office of enrolling clerk. This was done to oust Swin son because he would not appoint two negro clerks.

It was stated that this was a sufficient declaration in law of tbe election of Messrs. McKinley and Uobart for the term stated, as President and vice-President re spectively.

Among the bills introduced were the following: Mr. Hancock To amend chapter 1G, section 701, of the Code, by pro viding that nothing of this chapter shall authorize or empower corpora tions organized under this chapter to lease, run, manaee or control any railroad already built, or which may be constructed hereafter.

I think it was a very great mistake that be was elect ed President of the Reform Press As sociation. It is tbe fault of those who know his true character and who dis approve his methods that be was ever permitted to be placed in such an im portant and responsible position. But Che fact stands that be is president, and will remain so until the next re gular meeting of the Reform Press As sociation, which is at Memphis on the 22d. It may be true, and no doubt is true, as is charged by Rozelle and oth ers, that he has pursued irregular, if not illegal, methods in making the call I f rem for this meeting at Mempnis. ine They last Ulrcfalllg UL tuc AgauuiBituu naa u the South, and the general understand ing was that the next meeting would be in the West; and, no doubt, nine tenths of the reform editors would have voted for this meeting to have been held in Kansas City or some oth er Western point if their wishes bad been consulted. But let this be as it may, and let Vandervdort's motives be ever so questionable, it does not justify Mr. Rozelle, or any other mem ber of the Reform Press Association who is aggrieved, however justly, at Vandervoort's course and method, in calling a separate meeting at another place for the same date. I trust that every People's party editor who pos sibly can will attend the Memphis meet inc. and see that officers are elec- ed who are not tainted with either De- normal mocratic or Republican influence, and tnat sucn action Win oe lamen as win the law! 0 0 . 11 "C1UI 111 1 leas .SBUUlaLlUU an au cm i J ure ouu Motes from Wake Poreat.

The work and deportment keep pace with the at tendance. Prof. J. F. Lanneau, of the chair of physics, lectured on the X-rays in Raleigh on the 2d inst. Judging from the press comments, the lecture was greatly enjoyed. Wake For est's pnysics' department is equip ped with the most improved appara tus. There are more than fifty students now in the law department, and others will enter soon. Ten mem bers of the law class received license the Supreme court Feb. 1st. have since presented Prof. Gulley with a nice office chair. The presentation speech was made by Mr. T. L. Candle in his pleasant style. Prof. Gulley appreciates the gift very highly. The sacred concert recently given was decidedly successful, notwith standing the inclement weather. The proceeds went to pay the bal ance due on the piano recently bought for the Sunday school. The prospects for a large atten dance on the summer session of the law school is very encouraging, sev eral having already written that they would attend. . Last Wednesday evening a week ago Rev. G. P. Bostic delivered a lecture here on the customs and re ligious of China. in tbe Senate. Tbe chances for de feating this infamous and dangerous British trap have improved. If tb doors of tbe Senate could be thrown open and the true Intent and purpose of this arbitration treaty exposed In open session tbe sentiment of all pa triotic American citizens would rap idly crjutalite against it. There is located somewhere a secret torj bureau, sending out circulars to the preachers, (Quakers, women and chil dren, urging the Senate to ratify this treaty. These circulars simply pre sent tbe abstract question: io jou favor settling ditl'erences between na tions by war or by arbitration? Of course, in answer to this abstract que-sion, everybody says: in favor of arbitration. Then tbe British torj circular suggests that if you favor ar bitration, petition tbe Senate to ratify the treaty now before it, and tbus thousands of good people who have never read the treaty and know noth ing of its provisions and ultimate put pose, are moved by sentiment to peti tion the Senate to vote for something; which none of tbem would favor il they understood its real purport. It is no doubt tbe Williams Street Re form Club located on Wall Street, N. Y , which sends out gold literature and furnished gold patent outsides" free to newspapers, that is busily en gaged working up this sentiment, but the light will soon be turned on and the people will sustain those who fight the treaty to death. tat lew. ta smepwae e4 akWa la e fe. aibtt I be rroateeet (rem tbwa ae, lag tbe geersot' pevswety. sad WoJdee tbe paweOe X a fair tt of raUie ewotrel bed tweofeeev Tbea the eMee.l af tb faaUe M In tbe llewae was dtUxrt a trta for Haiti ag-tew gad bit eaofaierUoJ lor It eeema f o have beea pofteda de,t and a deataadiaa Vaeweee bim gad CI land.

Ilenoetbe desperate strug gle made by llanna aad bla agents to control tbe North Carolina legislature, which resulted In tbe election of tbeir man. But no aooncr bad tbey won this rastly victory than tbey were faced with an unexpected condition of affairs in Oregon, where tbey felt sure of electing a gold Senator, rndertbe Conatitulion of tbat Mate two-tblrda of tbe members elected are af ceaaary toorganiie tbe legislature, titer one third of tbe members were Populists, so until this hour tbe legislature of Oregon has never been orgaoliad. If tbe deadlock should continue tben tbe Republicans would be abort one vote. This caused llanna and bis agents to turn tbeir eyes to South Dakota, where tbey are now making a tremendous effort to deadlock tbe legialature of tbat State and prevent an election. Ttit done, tbey otfaet tbe Oregon situ ation, and could thus control tbe hen ate. In short, tbe deaprrate battle which they fwugbt in North Cart I ina bas now been transferred to South Dakota. These significant facts should behoove tbe contending factions in tbe South Dakota legislature to get to gether at once and unite on a succes sor for Senator Kyle, who will stand by the people in tbe Senate. Tbe People's party bas gained two valuable additions in tbe election of Senator lleitfeld,of Idaho. and senator Turner, of Washington. If a Populist is elected in South Dakota this will give us eight straight People's party Senators. Let this be done and if Ore gon remains deadlocked tbe People's party will continue to bold tbe balance of power and prevent tbe further ag gressions against tbe rig-tits and lib erties of the people.

Mark llanna and tbe gold syndi cates, trusts and monopolists behind him bave begun to realize that tbey have won their last victory unless they can devise some scheme for cutting off all the avenues of information and truth to the people. They own the telegraph wires and control tbe Associated Press dispatches, and bave nearly all of the great metropolitan newsoaoers subsidized, and thus through these powerful channels they keep the truth from tbe people and pervert and poison the matter dished up to the public through tbe daily press each morning. But tbey are alarmed for fear the people will yet learn the truth through the country newspapers, and through such reform books as Coin's Financial School, President John Smith, a General Freight and Passenger Post, and other such works which now pass through the mails as second class mat ter. Therefore they have laid two schemes to cut off this onurite of information, ft One of their schemes is through the Loud postal bill, which has passed the House, and which they are now mak ing desperate efforts to pass through the Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads.

Tbe block weiehs over 450 pounds is about 31 by 2G by 18 inehes in size. Usually the mica ir gotten in blocks from fmr to six and ten inches in site. One of the enrious things about this block cf mica is that it is large as the vein in which it was found; whereas, frequently, the vein is 10, 15 or 20 times as wide as the blocks of mica found in it. The mica industry is one of the most important in Western North Carolina, but it has been seriously interferred with during the last few years through the importation into the United States in large quantities of the East India mica, which is urued by the cheap East India labor, brought into this country as ballast and sold a North Carolina mica. North Carolina has long produced much tie larger part of the mica mined in tbe United States, ror the five years from 1881 to lSS5in- 1S mi.haticallly denying the truth B of Wilkes, Burgess, Candler, statement of Mr. Hoffman in ri,or4mTi. f!hil..ntt.
