FROM RALEIGB.
Editorial Correspondence.
Ramigh, N. C , F-b 6. Gig law
has been introduced in. the Senate.
A Republican did it. The minority
is prevented from discussing a ques
tion of much importance to tbo tax
payers of the State.
It all came about in this waj.
Senator Fortune, Rep., of Cleveland,
introduced a bill in regard to working
convicts on the roads. The bill was
very objectionable to the Democrats
and they asked that it be amended
and suggested how this eoald be
done. The committee of which Sena
tor Fortune wai ciiirtuan reported
the bill back without amendments
The Democrats opposed it. If'nere
upon Senator Fortuae called the pre
vious qaestion whial shut off all
amendments and all deDate. IToder
the rule which allows a member to
explain his vjte the Democrats ex
plained the injustices of the bill and
scored the Republicans for introduc
ing gg lw la in North Carolina.
They showed the matter up so plainly
that the bill was defeated by a vote
of 21 to 20.
Here are some of the unfair provis
ions of the bill. It authorised any
county to withdraw all its own and
not more than 25 adaitional envicts
fiom the penitentiary to work its
roads It required the State to pay
for their transportation to and from
such county and in addition furnish
them with clothts white there. Worse
still it allowed guch county to work
them daring the summer and tarn
them over to the Statu during the
winter when they are to be fed and
clothed by the taxpayers as they will
not be able to fupport themselves at
that time. On a conservative esti
mate this bill had it became a law
would havu cost the people of the
State from 50,000 to $100,000 a
year. There are only six Democrats
in the Senate, but by their effoits the
taxpayers are saved this amount.
This is an illustration of the many
ways in which they are looking after
the interests of the people.
LOCAL INTEREST.
A bill of local interest to the peo
ple of Mecklenburg now pending is
ne to extend the corporate limits of
the city of Charlotte. It takes in
Dilwortb, the Alherton Mill, Char
lotte Oil & Fertiliier Dorks, Ada
Mills, Gingham Mills, etc. It was
introduced by request by Ewart,
Rep. I suppose the originator of it
is ashamed to put his name to it.
Other bills are pending to incorpo
rate the towns of Severaville and Bid
dleville. A bill has bren reported favorably
fin the Senate incorporating "The
Ret-eat," a private hospital for the
treatment of the insane to be located
at Charlotte.
AB LISH CRIMIN1L C01RT.
A bill has been introduced in the
House to abolish the Criminal Court
Mecklenburg and New Hanover. A
bitter fiht will be made against this
bill by Mecklenburg representatives,
and they hope to difeat it.
COCXTT GOVERN MINT
The county government question
has not come up in the Legislature
yet. The Republicans and Populists
are holding almost nightly caucus ses.
They are at present divided, and the
feeling between them is not good.
The Republicans want to turn the
eastern counties over body and soul to
the negroes. The Populi.-t want the
cumuative rystem which gives the
minoiity representation. Under this
system instead of voting for five com
missioners any man can vote five times
for one commissioner. They have
not reached an agreement and may
not though they probably will.
A Populist Senator told a Republi
can in my hearing this week that if
things continued as at present much
longer be was going back to the Dem
ocratic party. One of the "visiting
statesmen" a prominent Populist, told
me he thought the Democrats and
Populists would get together within
sixty days. I don't think so, but the
tendencies are strongly in that direc
tion. WHAT TI1J5Y PROPOSB.
The editor of the Progressive Ae.
of Aurora, Reading Clerk of the
House, prints in his paper this week
certain statements, preceding them
with the declaration: "This infor
mation is all official and comes directly
from the caucus committee." The
fohowing are his Jtatementd of what
the Legislature will do:
1. The superintendents of the in
sane asylums will not be removed.
2. The railway commission will be
abolished and re created.
3 The University appropriation
will not be interfered with.
4 The State Guard appropriation
will be repealed
5. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
will be consolidated with the Agri
cultural Department and the Agri
cultural College.
6 The penitentiary will be entirely
reorganized and all positions fiilled
by fuaionibts.
7. The charter of tho Atlantic &
North Cirolina Railway will be so
amended that the legislature and not
the Governor will make appointments,
and Fusionists will succeed Democrats
TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

Representatives Alexander and Kell
have not been able to so far overcome
their timidity as to make a speech,
but they are patting in good work on
committees. Representative MoCall
has i-poken on several matters before
the House with force and effect, and
has mide a good impression. If
other counties were as well repre
sented as Mecklenburg the peoples'
interests would not suffer.

What causes them to go? Isolation,
and hard work! There is not a
woman in the country, a farmers
wife, who does not make her own liv
ing Ind the greater part of her hus
bands What is her reoieation? Go
ing to a we Idiog occasionally and a
fuoeral. Our farmers wives are in
telligent, aa a general thing, and
need amusement as much as our city
sisterf; but they don't get it. Now
if they go to towns and cities and
make a living, they have a chance of
seeing something besides the corners
of their own walls. A good fire is
not to be despised, a cold day; but
good fires, and bread and meat is not
the sum total of human happiness
Jnr couctry women make their own
living in the country, and if they
make it in the towns, and can get to
say their souls are their own, I say,
amen and good luck attend them.

BETTER IARK OF THE INSANE.
Uecklenbur j SUM i Pelltlo for Tl elr
Better Care and Keeping.
Mecklenburg is much interested in
the proper keeping of her insane, and
her commissioners are taking steps
looking to the better care of them, as
well as the insane at large throughout
the State. Thursday the following
circular letter was sent to boards of
commissioners in the State, and ex
plains itself:
Charlotte. N C. Jan 31st. '95,
To the Chairman and Board of Com
mutionert:
Dear Firs: I am instructed by the
board of commissioners of this county
to at-k the hearty co operation of the
several boards of commissioners of the
State in memoral zing the Legislature
now in session to make more ample
provision at the asylums at Raleigh,
Morganton and Goldsboro for the care
and protection of the unfortunate in
sane of the State. I speak of those
unfortunates who, for want f room
in these institutions, are compelled to
suffer confinement in county j iils and
county homes. You are aware that
counties do not possess the roper fa
cilities for taking care of this class of
patients Hoping to have your zeal
ous support in this appeal for the pro
tection of our unfortunate fellow-citizens
who are clamoring for admis
sion, I am.
Yours very truly,

For the Times.
Cupid and Hymen, are still in the
"corporation" business out here.
Three marriages are already on deck
for February and I don't know how
many is to follow. This is pretty
good for dark, gloomy, little Feb.
You know that Ruskins once said:
"No man ever lived a right life, who
had not been chastened by a womans
love, strengthened by her courage
and guided by her disorcsion." The
boys seem to think that Ruskins was
right. I have the subject under ad
visement. The same author asks u-:
Do you know what the beautiful
word "wife" comes from? aul then
adds "the strength of the Sax in words
is that they mean something. Wife
means "weaver." You mast either
be housewives, or housemoths. In
the deep sense, yoa mutt either
.wave mens fortunes and embroider
them, or feed .upon and bring them
to decay. Wherever a true wife
comes, home is always around her.
The stars may be over her head the
glow-worm in the night cold grass,
may be fire at her foot; but home i
where she is Dr Talmage says:
If your observation has put you in an
attitude against the marriage state,
one or two things is true in regard to
you; you have cither been unfortunate
in your acquaintanceship, or you
yourself are morally rotten. While
there is but one side to this moral
question, it however, is attended wi'h
some sad features. I have always
had a great sympathy for the newly
made bride; for rhe has to give up
her family name and has to leave the
old home nest. No love is so sweet
as the love you are born to. Never
again, after the beautiful bond is
broken, will there be anything so
sweet as the little circle of mother,
father and children, where yon were
cherished, protected, praised acd
kept from harm. I have said it once,
but I will say it again: There ia no
love like the love you are born to, no
home like the first home you knew, if
you had good parents and that home
is what it should be. Your married
s'ster will always speat of soiog
home, no matter how pleasantly the
sun beams of married life have fallen
around her.
That hallowed word is ne'or forgot,
No matter where ve roam,
The purest feelings of the- heart,
S'ill cluster around the old home.
Since writing the above, aud bofore
dropping in the mail bag, one of the
two marriages referred to, crystalized
last night in the marriage of Mr. J
C Bigham and Miss Lata Boyles.
Rev. W C. C Foster officiating. It
was a veryquiet affair and only a fe
near relatives and friends witnessed
the solemn scene. The mantle of
snow without, emblem of purity,
was a beautiful attestation to the
sacred rites within that blends two
lives in one.
B
It i No 1 ' Ranitom Mum.
The Washictoo correspondent, i f
tbe Richmond Dispatch Siys that
there is a rcntimeut among the south
ern congressmen that it will simply
be a waste of time to attempt any fi
nancial legislation in the House, as
the general belief Is the Senate will
blook any scheme that may be offered
there. The Nicaragua canal bill,
which the South has urged so enthu
siastically, and particularly at Rich
mond, will be put in jeopardy, and
other important bills that ought to be
paMed if Mr Fp inger insists ou
bringing another fimoci.il measure to
the front. Some of the V rginia and
North Carolina members seem to
think the House may again refuse to
adopt a rule limiting debate. It will
d pend upon the attitude of the Re
publicans The Democrats are hope
lessly divided, and cannot get togeth
er. An ffvirt was made to obtain an ex
pression from Senator Ransom regard
ing the outlook in tbe Senate, but he,
in that well known Cbesteifieldian
manner for wLioh he is noted when he
do -s not care to talk, said he might
make a misleading statement, so un
certain is the situation.
National Alliance.
It was 3 30 when the National
Farmers' Alliance and Industrial
Union was called to order Tuesday,
by President Marion Butler at Metro
politan Hall, Raleigh. About thirty
delegates were present from other
states. The stage was flanked by
national flags, the desk was draped
with one, and one was arranged as a
frame of a picture of the late L, L.
Polk, in memory of whom the Alliance
holds this meeting in Raleigh. Mayor
Thomas Badges welcomed the body
in behelf of the city, and President
Mewboroe, of the State Alliance, bade
them welcome to North Carolina. H.
L. Lmcks, of South Dakota, and J.
E Doan, of New York, responded.
i Many more delegates arrived afcer
the exercises ended, owing to train
delays. Tuesday there war- a fecret
session for business: Wednesday even
ing there was a baiquet at the Yar
bro to tbe visitors, and to-day at
noon the corner-stone of tbe Polk
monument will be laid, and this will
be followed by public memorial meet
ing at Metropolitan Hall.
