assess: Charlotte Democrat W. C. DOWD. Editor. CHARLOTTE. N. C. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 THE RUSSELL-BUTLER SCHEME. A good many of us have wondered at the peculiar political tactics of Senator Marion Butler (Pop. Fusionist) and Governor Daniel liusselKFusionist Rep) and tried to spy out what they are driving at. A Raleigh special in the Washington Post presents this view of the matter: - "It is known that Senator Butler and Gov. Russell are seeking to organize'a new party in the State. Gov. Russell does not see any chance for co-operation next year between the Populists and Republicans, because these parties will be diametrically opposed on the lease question. "The Populist party will be intensely !os.tile to the lease, while the Demo- erratic State Convention will be cap tured by Col. Andrews, and will say nothing. The Republican State Con vention, under the leadership of Sena tor Prltchard and the Federal office holders, will declare for the lease. In this view Butler and Russell expect a sufficient bolt from both the old parties to the Populist, or anti-tail road party, to give this party a clear majority of the votes, thus carrying the State on the Populist vote and electing a major ity of both houses of the Legislature. "This result would get rid of the fu Mon of Republicans and Populists by "organizing a new party. It would give Russell and Butler control of the State and make a cipher of Prltchard and emasculate th Democrats. Butler would succeed himself in the United States Senate and Russell would suc ceed Prltchard." This scheme might succeed if the workers of it could hood-wink the peo ple, capture a wing of each of the three parties and gather together enough of their dunes to enable them to form a new party. But, with all the political wanderings of many of the voters of this State in the past few years, it is almost impossible to believe they would suffer themselves to be delivered bodily Into the hands of North Carolina's most selfish political bosses. OUR FISHERIES. The value and extent of the fisheries of North Carolina are not realized by our people. It has been stated that ihe annual catch of fish from our wa ters exceeds in value any crop that we produce. A Baltimore magazine states that "seventeen counties in North Carolina have a frontage on the ocean or tribu tary sounds and maintain fisheries. The total estimated value of the fish cries at Wilmington is $185,000. During the past year there have been 5.000,000 mullets caught there, valued at $125,000. Other lish taken were 5,000 pounds of herring, 2,500 pounds of blue fish, 10,000 pounds of menhaden, 20,000 pounds of perch'. 37,000 pounds of shad, 18.000 pounds of rock fish and 1,000.000 of all other kinds. In addition to this 500,000 crabs were caught, 500 bushels of shrimps, 1,000 turtles, 12,500 bushels of clams, 5,000 bushels of oysters and 2,000 pounds of sturgeon." But these figures do not give an ade quate idea of our fishing interests, as the figures given only represent one rportion of the fishing district. The great hering fisheries on Albemarle Sound are the largest seine fisheries in the world PROGRESSIVE CHARLOTTE. The number of good citizens being added day by day to the population of Charlotte, men of energy, and some of considerable means, who are coming' here from other places, is one of the most gratifying signs of the steady progress of the city. Charlotte is known far and wide as the most pros perous and enterprising city in the State. It Is attracting good citizens from all quarters, and while there is no steady boom, there is a constant growth in population, in trade and in manufac turing interests. New buildings are be ing erected In nearly every part of the city. There are now in course of con struction four important business build ings and numerous others have just been completed. Charlotte holds her place at the head of the procession. ENJOINED EVEN THE PREACHER. The injunction has at last reached the ministry, and ere-long we may look for an order from a Federal Judge re straining ministers from preacing the gospel to strikers or other employes or former employes of corporations. A Wheeling dispatch says: "Another injunction was served on J W. Rea, James Wood and 73 others, named and unnamed, prohibiting them from holding meetings and marching near the property of the Worthington Coal &. Coke company. Among those named in the instrument is Rev. W. H. Wiley, who has been holding religious services in the strikers' camps on Sun days and prayer meetings through the week. The Manufacturers' Record in its summary of railroad building in the South, gives the following in North Carolina: Atlantic Coast Line, southeastern railroad division. 12 miles: also branch line three miles. Linviile River, lumber railroad from Llnville river to Cranberry Station, on Southern railway. Aberdeen and Rock Fish, work began on eight miles of extension. Durham ana Charlotte, being con structed between the cities named; eleven miles completed; six miles un der construction. Philadelphia and Durham parties interested. Carthage railroad, twenty-one miles completed; twelve miles under con struction. Carolina and Northwestern, ten miles in North Carolina under construction Referring to Debs' suggestion that only a revolution, will free us from the political ills we bear the Savannah News says the remedy is not a "revolu tion with guns, but a political revolu tion which will retire the Republicans from control permanently, and place the government in the hands of the Democratic party, the party of the people." Secretary of State Thompson found In the records of his oflu-e the applica tions for the place of State librarian in 18S5 and among them was the nanie of the present State auditor. Can it be possible that the great reformer Halair has been a chaser after office for twelve years? The mother of Dock Black, who was hanged a few days ago at Snow Hill, wrote a letter to the sheriff asking him to sell the body of her son to the doc tors for dissecting purposes. . It is no wonder that the child of such a moth- er ended his life on the scaffold.

The Jacksonville Tim?s-Union says: "The prospects point to a cotton crop of 10 000.000 bales, and the price is now S 1-18 cents per pound In New York. At this price a 10.000,000-bale crop, 500 pounds to the bale, would bring the comfortable sum of $103,123,000. This would be about $1S per capita for the whole south, and would bring into the south neary$100.000.0o0 more than any cotton crop ever produced, the most valuable crop up to date being that of lhS2. which was worth $H09;656,500. "About P0 per cent of the cotton of the United States is grown in seven States South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Mississippi. Louisiana. Arkan sas and Texas. In 18!0 the population of these States was only IjJ 2.".0.000, and their percentage of the crop would av eiaue $Z; per capita, or $17." per family. "Cotton is only one of the products ,.r a,. nth and takinfr the entire south, it is net always even the princi pal one. As a rule the south produces as much corn per capita as the north, and in fact produces every crop grown in anv part of the country. To inanj ciiiiiprii farmers cotton will be a sur- plus crop.

COTTON CONDITIONS. Dun's Wtkly Review for the week savs: past Cotton speculation made August de liveries costlv. spot rising to is1 cents. but the market then drifted back onicklv to 7.62 cents. Conflicting news doubtless reflects conflicting facts, but the opinion gains that the crop will be lame, if bv lateness not exposed to se rious injury. The crop of 1896, accord ing to the New Orleans Cotton Ex change, was 8,757,964 bales, which msy be profitably compared with predic tions current eight and twelve months ago. The mills are now running and turning out great quantities of goods in response to heavy purchases recently made. Wool sells largely between spec ulators, 16,568.500 lbs. for the week, making reported sales in four months since May 1,191,069.030 lbs., of which 102,782,445 were foreign. But when the mills were busy in 1892 sales in the four months were but 111,620,302 lbs. Mills have been buying more freely to re place the wool rapidly consumed, and the goods market has been so large and strong that they are encouraged to pur chase after a rise of 50 per cent, in a year."Baltimore Sun. " LIZARDS CURE CANCER. A Vienna, cable dispatch says an Austrian priest named Gentilini, claims to have discovered a certain cure "for cancer by means of eating lizards. By this extraordinary remedy he is said to have already cured thirty patients afflicted with cancer. In this connec tion it may be added that recent inves tigation has resulted in the discovery that both toads and lizards possess be neath the surface of their skins certain secretions which constitute an extreme ly powerful chemical agent, so that the use of these reptiles for medical pur poses in China and in other parts of the Orient, is not so ridiculous as was at first imagined. SUING FOR HIS LEG. G. R. Miller, of Asheville, has begun suit for the possession of his right leg. He alleged that it was afflicted with bone scrofula and was cut off five years ago by Dr. J. A. Burroughs. Permis sion was given by plaintiff to the phy sician to retain the leg for a time for professional study, the case being a novel and interesting one, but it was. so the plaintiff alleged, to be returned after a reasonable time, so that, as a faithful and important member of his body up to the time of its amputation might be given honorable burial. He therefore wants the leg or $500. OUR MINISTER AT A BULL FIGHT. A San Sebastian.

"We are on the verge of a great min ing era." remarked Clarence King, for merly chief of the United States geo logical survey. "The time is not far distant when a man can start out of Denver and travel to Klondike, stop ping every night at a mining camp. Already two American stamp mills are pounding away on the borders of the Straits of Magellan, and the day is ap- proacning wnen a chain ot mining camps will extend from Cape Horn to St. Michaels. I believe we are about to enter upon a century which will open up vast resources, and will be the grandest the earth has ever known. Before the end of the 20th century the traveler will enter a sleeping car at Chicago bound via Bering straits for St. Petersburg, and the dream of Gov ernor Gilpin will be realized."
