WASHJNUTON LETTER.
From Oar Iteaular Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 15, 1836.
Tbe revenue tariff bill is still quiescent.
It is exceedingly doubtful how soon the
" '.Senate Finance Committee will report the
measure. Tbe situation is rather inter
esting. No obstacles were supposed to
lie in tbe path of tbe measure until it was
found that Senator Jones, of Nevada, had
a special interest in acquiring concessions
in behalf of tbe sugar industry in Cali
fornia, and insisted upon forcing tbe com
mittee to agree to a duty on sugar as the
price of bis voW. This caused some sur
prise and considerable disappointment
a mo d tr republican, members ot tbe com
mittee, as Mr. Jones has the deciding
vote. Republican senators are being
. . . . (f I'll . J
advised not to pe.rmit.me i&nn dim io uie
in committee oTc 'even to remain there
much longer. They are being told that
the only way'' by , which the exact situa
tion can be made a matter of record is
" - tq .brings the. biit to a vote in the open
fc Seriate.' 'Nothing, then, will be left to
rumor or conjecture. Every Senator will
bo obliged to deolare himself, and shoulder
? responsibility for his own actions. The
country, it is stated wants a vote, and
will not be content with less. Aside from
tbe consideration of tbe tariff bill in com
mittee, tbe Interesting question in tbe
Senate at present is whether the silver
.' ' Senators can muster enough strength to
pass the pending free silver coinage sub
stitute of the House bond bill. The ops
pononts of' the free silver substitute
measure are at present disposed to place
no special obstacles in 'the way of the
bill if it can be shown that there is an
outright majority favorable to its passage,
relying upon "the House to defeat it there
and upon the President to veto it in case
it should run tbe ' gauntlet of" both
branches of Congress.
This week the Democratic National
Committee will assemble in Washington
to select a city for tbe national conven
tion. The best informed students of poli
tics have reoently pointed out the urgent
need of a change that will give tbe conn
try a shorter presidential campaign.
When the Republican committee selected
a date in June for the Republican national
convention, it was demonstrated that un
- "less the Democrats should break ' away
from tbe custom that gires the adminis
tratibn party tbe first convention the
campaign would be longer-tban any since
the war. Since tbat time there has been
a great deal of pressure brought to bear
; upon the Democratic committee in favor
of the violation of the precedent. Upon
' good information, it is stated that it is
tbe present plan of the influential leaders
of the Democratic party to advocate the
holding of the convention in the middlo of
July or possibly later. Whatever the
motive for a large convention, such a re-
suit will be heartily welcomed by a ma
jority of the businees men of tbe country.
The whble .political chronology of the
United States needs readjustment, and no
part ofHt more urgently than that which
fixes the length of the great campaigns
-which quadrennially disturb the commer
cial tranquility of tbe nation.
:;"; The feeling in political circles about the
' now loan is that the administration will
divide it between the syndicate and the
people. It is expected' that there will be
a popular response for thirty millions ' or
'more of the bonds. The popular response
can be accepted and the remainder of the
loau awarded to the syndicate. The sups
position that tbe syndicate will bid for all
or none is not -seriously regarded. The
V syndicate is., composed of 'long-headed
bankers, who know tbe value of half, or
" two thirds of a loaf; and, while they are
notstarving, they aro always ready for
bread. There will be pretty ''big money"
in the handling of sixty or seventy milt
'" licrnB of-the loan, and they will be far
from refusing it. Meanwhile the senti
ment calling for a "political" loan will
have been responded to by the acceptance
' ""of the bia.3 or that kind which are re-
j . -
ceived.
Mr. Henry Norman, who has been in
Washington for some days' as tbe special
Commissioner of a great Loneon daily, the
Chroiiicle, and whose articles have at
tracted wide attention all over this coun
try, . is entitled to credit for having
turned the light upon several matters as
to which. tho British people were in great
need of illumination. He has explained,
for instance, that tho ridiculous fakirs
' ' and anglo-maniao mugwumps of certain
: ' great New York papers do not represent
the feeling of the American people in the
; Venezuelan matter, but that the Presi
.de'nbjEi. Jjiecrj&tary -c.oX State,,, .and tbe
atr. Cqngr.eefe do. I BuJt M r; NjrnaiJs. ia speak
Ingsothewhattboadventurously when be
assures. his English readers that "it is
:.qlte.. certain ..that, neither President
Cleveland Cleveland nor Mr Olney con
aider; .themselves, to. be threatening -England."
' If the recent presidential mes
sage did not centain a threat, then it
. waij a -sorry jest. 'It said that the United
States would not. permit any European
. . . rower to increase its toritorial possession
"' t ui the western, hemisphere,' and that this.
cojuntrry would it., necessary, go to war
. upon ithat- issue.;. It; is so understood
throughout tbe country, and upon that
understanding alone rests the hearty and
enthusiastic approval of.the people. Mr.
Norman bas no warrant for tbe assertion
above quoted, any more than he has for
speaking of certain other convictions and
r. purposos of the administration as matters
..within his pergonal knowledge. There
is not tbe faintest idea tbat the United
. , States government has selected Mr. Nor
man as . its exponent extraordinary and
, mouthpiece plenipotentiary in this affair,
v.. and upon this point tho public of both
this country and England should beset
right. ... .
The girj he gave tho penny to saw Mr.
... Cleveland last Saturday. There is an in
. teresting little romance in the story.
When President Cleveland was at the
v unveiling ot the Martha Washington
... monument at Fredericksburg, Va., in
1894, he met one of the belles of Rich
mond, Miss Nellie Parker, and at the ban
quut that evening he presented the Rich
mond beauty with a penny and laughing
ly requested her to keep it as a souvenir.
They met again in Atlanta on Virginia

Collins and T. D. Collins.
day, oo d of the first questions Mr. CleVe
Innd asked of ' Virginia's goterhor being :
" VV b ere ; is the young lady, to whom I
gave the penny?" He asked her if she
still had the coin, and she replied tbat it
was framed in gold. (Last week she called
at tbe White House to see Mr. Cleveland.
The servant told her tbat the President
was busily occupied with gentlemen in
connection with the Venezuelan matter
and could not see her. . She wrote npon
a card "The girl you gave the peony to."
Its presentation promptly gained her an
audience with Mr. Cleveland, and hi
pleasure at seeing her was not concealed.
It has been determined, among the Re
publican Senators that there will be no
attempt to reorganize the Senate unti
tbe arrival of tbe two Senators from tbe
new State of Utah. I Willi tbeir coming
Democratic supremacy among tbe offi
ceials of the Senate will doubtless be
swept away.
- Talk About Cotton.
The Savannah News, which is always
conserative except on tbe financial ques
tion, says of the ftrlye of cotton:
The price of cot&n baa bung about 8
cent for quite a long time thus disap
pointing both those who are contending
for a higher and those for a lower price.
Those who have cotton to selt feel confi
dent that the price will advance very con
siderably immediately after tbe holidays.
They feel that way because they are
quite certain that the crop is small as it is
estimated to be. On the other hand, tbe
purchasers of cotton contend that the
orop is a great deal larger than the estis
mater, and the reason more of it has not
come to market is that planters and ins
terior merchants are holding it back. It
may be that to some extent cotton is be
ing held. Tbe merchants and planters
are in much better fix for holding it than
tbey were last year or for many previous
years.
Still, there are good reasons for thinks
ing that those who want cotton are mak.
ing a mistake, and will have to pay a
much high price for it is now being ofi
fered. Mr. Hester, superintendent of
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, makes
an interesting comparison of the crop of
1892 with tbat of the- present season.
The crop in 1892 amounted to 6,700,000
bales. The caop of this season is esti
mated to be about 6,500,000 bales. And
yet, on last Saturday, 6,000 bales more of
this year's crop had been marketed than
had been marketed at a similiar period
in 1894. This faot would indicate tbat
cotton has not been, and is not being held
back.
All that keeps the price oi cotton from
advancing sharply is the belief of tbe
purchasing interest that there is more
cotton in the hands of planters and inte
rior merchants than there is estimated to
be. As soon as tbey discover tbat their
belief is a mistaken one the price will ad
vance, and tho movement of cotton to
the ports will be much more lively than
it is at present.
At Suffering Camnock.
In an interview with Mr. John T. Pul
len, who has just returned from a brief
visit to tbe Cumnock mines, it is learned
tbat thirty-nine people were killed by the
recent terrible mine disaster. As tbe
result of this calamity there were left
twenty-one widows with about sixty
children. This information, said Mr.
Pullen, cume from the superintendent of
tbe mines, who is in a position to know
tbe facts in tbe case , Several of the
widows with their children have recently
left for the north, having been helped by
their friends to depart Close to the mines
are about fifteen widows with more than
thirty-children, and only a few miles dis
tant are other widows with their children.
They are in very destitute circumstances
and the timely relief given will prove of
tbe greatest benefit to them. "All the
people," said Mr. Pullen, "feel the deepest
gratitude to the people of Raleigh for
their substantial proof of their kicdness
in tbe way of provisions and money."
. More money and clothing will be for
warded in a few days to tbe committee
at Cumnock. -
Mr. Pullen stated that he was cordially
received by the committee and the super
intendent of the mines. A brief visit was
paid to the homes of the people and their
condition examined into, and the conclu
sion was quickly formed that any aid given
will be worthily bestowed. The com
mittee at Cumnock consists of W. J.
Tally, James Eisselland W. N. Gunter.
Any contributions sent tbem will be
gratefully acknowledged.
Mr. Pullen will forward any contribu
tion sent him. Raleigh JVcwg and Ob

Marking toe Lambs.
In a undav-school ' when the leaaon of
the Good Shepherd was being explained
the question was asked, "How does the
Good Shepherd know bis Sheep?" Young

"j.eii me ciass, my aear, said tho

some he marks red chalk," said the boy.
These would be distinguishing marks in

of health on the countenances of those
who use Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Dis
covery. For all blood-taints, from what
ever cause arising, poisons and humors,
such as scrofula, tumors, ulcers and kin

T&e Heart of America.
. BT IDWAXD WBOK.
Amid all the noise of wrangling which
has been going on during these past few
months in JNew York over- the question
of Sabbath observance,--no thought is
more quietiog.no picture more peaceable,
no example more conducive to whole
some respect than tbat which the . South
at present offers to the entire country.
As restful-a picture, and ' suggestive of
tbe true art ot living, as tbe bou h ; al-
waj s offers to those who can look, at it
and its people with a board-minded
spirit and with discerning eyes, that gar
den spot of American lite has never pre-
leniid a more delightful aspect than at
thu moment. And it should command
ur national respect, admiration., and
thankfulness. Just now the Southern,
people are enjoying a Cotton States Ex
hibition at Atlanta, and at no time, Inns
far.in tbe history of their celebration and
merry-making bas tbe thought occured
to either tbe managers of tbe exposition,
or to the people of the South, to question
the propriety of Sabbath observance.
There has been no repetition of tbe
World's Fair wrangle, nor even a sug
gestion of it. Quietly have the gates
of tbe exhibition grounds been closed
each Saturday night, and opened again
each Monday morning. The American
Sunday has been kept inviolate, and it has
been done without ostentation, without
cant, without even a thought of aught
else. It has been done as a matter of
course . And a more forcible, illustration.
of the holesome strength of an older civil
ization to the restless and upsetting theo
ries of a younger community is not pos
sible of memory than this example set
by the south to New York and to all
America. And yet tbe difference of
Southern ideas is marked only as it serves
as a contrast to those which prevail in
other sections of our country.. Tho
Southern idea in this matter of Sabbath
observance, as it is in a great many other
directions, is simply the pure, sound
American idea. The most wholesome
American idea, those would find today
the American people at -their best, where
men and womon are guided in their
actions by wholesome sentiment, where
the best of our customs are perpetuated
and lived every day, where our own lan
guage is spoken by all. where hearts
beat to the most loyal National sentN
ments, and where tbe people ; can ' be
trusted to uphold what is bigest and
most lasting in our National life we
mut turn to the South. How Su nday
should be kept, or the manner in which
it should be observed ,does not trouble
the Southern people. Their respect and
honor for the day are too great and deep
seated to question Divine laws in the
South; they accept and perpetuate them.
Intellectual progress there goes hand in
band with a strict adherence to the ac
cepted beliefs of religion. . The Southern
mother does not explain the Bible to her
children in the light of so-called "modern
teachings,'' she places it in their hands as
her mother gave it to her. And with
the fundamental principles of religion
the Southern child is taught patriotism
and love of country ; hence religion and
patriotism stand side by in the education
of a Southern child. The Southern- peo
ple believe in progress, but progress
along healthy, rational lines. Theories
which mentally upset find no sympathy
with them. Tbey are content to move
slowly, but sanely and surely. And
Some day when the vast majority of us
who live in other portions of this
country g?t through with our camping
out civilization, when we drop our boast
ful manners, when we get old enough to
understand that there is a stronghold of
of conversation which stands between
tyranny and anarchism, our eyes will
turn toward the South. And will see
there a people who are American in idea
and in living; a people worshipful, pro
gressive, earnest, courageous and pa
triotic a people who have made o
their land, against defeat and prejudice
"the heart of America." Ladies .Home,

Bee Culture at tbe Experiment Station.
The Experiment Station has recently
completed arrangements for carrying on
some work in Bee Culture, both to disse
minate information as to the best methods
to follow in bee-keeping, as well as to
conduct tests to determine what plans
should be adopted in North Carolina - to
make this particular industry as profita
ble as possible. In many sections of the
State bee culture now yields handsome
returns when carefully managed. With
proper use of the improved methods of
late years this result might be largely in
creased. It will be the purpose of tbe
Station to endeavor to aid in the exten
sion of the industry, and with the pos
sible improvement of the cultune where
it has now found a foothold. For this
purpose tbe co-operation of two experi
enced bee keepers bas been secured, Dr.
J.W. Hunter and Mr. W. H. Hall, both
of Forsyth county. It is expected that
results interesting jo bee keepers will be
reached during the -coming season. In
the meantime .itens of timely interest
will be distributed upon the various
phases of the tubjeot.
As the station -desires to enter Unto
correspondence with every bee-keeper
now in North: Carolina, each one is cor
dially requested-; to, send his name and

the.Confederacy," as the mjnsion is called,
has been the propertyol the city of Riebs
mondor many :J&t. and .lately it has
been used as a schoolhonse.' ' In 1890 an
organization known as (be .Confederate
Memorial and Literary Society was
formed, and soon after made a proposition
to the city which ended in that society
securing the control of the house for tbe
purpose of opening therein a museum
and library. The necessary repairs have
been almost completed, and the building
is nearly in the condition it was at the
time of the fall of the Confederacy as it is
