An amendment to the tariff bill
to repeal the entire tobacco tax was
offered in the House Monday by
Hon. George Wise, of Virginia, but
the House 'adjourned -before a vote
was taken.
Senator Frye says that the nom
ination of Mr. Fuller to be Chief
Justice will be confirmed. Then
wnat sense was there in the com
mittee returning the nomination
without recommendation ?
Mr. Mills announces that he 'will
call the previous -question on tin
passage of the . tariff bill at 11:30
o'clock Saturday morning. Hope h
will stick to this determination. No-
hody will hardly charge . him with
being a "little too previous." j
That was -rather a queer discus
sion in Concord last Monday. Rev.
AV. TWalker spoke for. Prohibition
and the Third Party and Maj. Rob-
bins chaperoned local option, pro
hibition and Democratic supremacy.
So. we are informed by a special dis
patch to the Charlotte Chronicle.
Hurrah for Robbins. .

daylight for Democracy in Michi

EDITORIAL CORRESPON
DENCE. Ox the Tbain, July 1 1, 1888.
On to Morchead ! On to Wrights
ville ! Military companies and dusty
travelers. The State Encampment
is the destination of one, and the
''Summer Capital"' the destination
of the other. But the military arc
not on the train with us. They are
coining later in all their glory.
The members of the Press; are nu
merous. Mi-. T. B. Eldridge, of the
Davidson Dispatch, President of the
Association, is aboard. He will be
there on time. Secretary J. II. Lind
say, of the Kernersville Xeici and
Farm, is also here. These two breth
ren arc among the most earnest and
useful members ot the Association.
L'rothcr Lindsay deserves especial
mention and also nigu praise, ior
upon him for several years, haye
been the onerous and responsible
duties of .providing transportation
and accommodation for the Associa
tion. Brother- Josephus, Daniels, of the
Slate Chronicle, steps in the car at
Raleigh, and I am distressed to hear
from him that his charming wife is
now prostrate; with typho-malarial
fever. I" know his and her many
friends in Durham deevdv svmpatlii.e
with them and wish her a speed)
recovery.
Politics has been forgotten, and
everybody is saying, '"it is hot," and
"everybody" for once is exactly and
completely correct.
Mr. Albert Kramer, the urbane,
attentive and attractive, who ever
makes it his especial duty to see
that the .-ladies enjoy themselves, is
now on the opposite .side of the
aisle from myself talking smoothly
and a,s engagingly, as he -always
can.
We have a few other Durhamites
aboard, but they are fanning and
trying to keep the dust out of their
eres. But whether they are quiet
or talkative, whether they are com
fortable or not, whether ;they are
dusty or not, they are all happy, for
dull care has been left behind, cut
ters, fillers and smokers are ban
ished and salt-water sandwiches are
in the distance. More to-morrow.

We want you to read Judge
Fowle's letter to Dockery. Read' it
carefully. Show' it to your neigh
bors, and if you hear anybody say
Judge Fowle is afraid to meet Dock
ery, pull this out and read it to him.
Dockery refused to pay attention
to his own committee and challenged
Judge Fowle. The gallant, elo juent
Fowle says to Mr. Dockery : "I am
ready any.way, at any time.
Now, Mr. Dockery must put up

Rai.uc.h; .July '14th, 18s,x.
Hon. 0. II. Docker tj:
Dkaii Slit: Your letter of July th
was received as I was on the eve of
departure from the city, and I asked
the chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee, Spier Whitaker,
Esq., to reply to it.
Mr. Whitaker on. duly 4th had in
vitcd the chairman of the. Republican
Executive Committee to make joint
appointments for yourself and myself.
On July 7th Mr. Whitaker ittvitei
you or your chairman to make joint
appointments.
On July i)th Mr. Whitaker again
invited you to meet me at my ap
pointments already announced, or, if
you did hot like them, at other ap
pointments to be agred on, which
letter I find published on the 11th
inst.
Upon my return here this after
noon, I find that no reply as yet
has been received to his letter, and
that Mr. Whitaker has been called,
out of the State by the sickness of
his mother, where he may be de
tained some time. I invite you,
therefore, on Wednesday or Thurs
day next, at such hour as you may
consider convenient, to meet me at
the parlor of the Yarboro House in
this city to agree on joint appoint
ments for discussions between you
and myself. If the time or place I
have designated is not convenient to
you I will meet you at any place or
time you may indicate.
JNo appointments heretofore made
fqr me shall stand in the way of a
joint canvass between us.
Very respectfully,
Daniel G. Fowle.
The Richmond Whig ' of the 18th
gives an account of the arrest for
embezzlement of Mr. Edwin A.
Winn, for many years a trusted and
valuable salesman in ; the store of
Messrs. Fourqurean, Price & Co., of
Richmond. The firm resolved on a
friendly line of action which would
have kept knowledge of the embez
zlement from the public, had not
the police heard of it. They had
decided not to prosecute, but in or
der to protect themselves as far as
possible, took possession of his house,
8(H)" East Marshall street, and dis
charged him from their employ. A
warrant was issued yesterday, and
Mri Winn was arrested by Sergeant
Toinlinson, about 6 o'clock, on the
i
charge of stealing 8,500 from Four
qurean, Price & Co. Mr. Winn has
a wife and several children, and the
sympathy of many friends will be
theirs. Mr. Price says that the dis,
covery of Mr. Winn's transgressions
was a blow to him ; that possibly he
would have loaned him alrnost'any
amount, and besides there
Was
money due him in the firm's hands
WARXIXG TO YOUNG MEN.
Wra. A. Potts, the murderer of
Paul Lincke, was not hung yesterday.
The telegrams announce that his
second effort to take his own life by
drinning poison was successful and
that lie died at 12 o'clock Monday
night, about twelve hours before the
time fixed for his execution. We are
told that the manner of his death
was a seere disappointment to
many who feel that the law has not
been avenged. His crime was a"
most atrocious one that of killing
his benefactor, whom we knew to be
a kind, big-hearted man, ami killing
him when he was asleep witn one of
his little ones in his anus. And
now to this horrible stain upon hi-s
soul has been added the sin of suicide
and he goes into the .presence of the
Great Judge witli hisi own blood and
that of his fellow upoli his head.
The picture is a sad one, indeed,
and awakens within us a train of
reflection that runs back to the
cause of the cold-blooded deed.
What was it? Primarily jealousy,
but it was strong drink that chilled
the mind and heart to the instincts
of gratitude and nerved the arm to
strike the cowardly death-dealing
blow. It is not our purpose to offer
an excuse for such a dastardly
crime, but rather to hold up the life
and fate of young Potts as a warning
to the young men of our land, and
especially to those. who have ac
quired or are acquiring the
habit of drinking spirituous liquors.
Some may be ready to answer :
"Such deeds and such a fate belong
alone to the depraved and ignorant
and therefore I can drink without
such fears as these." An? you from
a respectable family? So was Potts.
Have you a bright intellect? So
had Potts. Have you had the op
portunitj' of developingyour natural
talent by education ? So had Potts.
And yet, with all his. ad vantages,
his body to-day fills the grave of a
murderer and suicide; whereas, but
for his drink habit, he might be
alive and an honor. to his family
and his community.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
Jiave those who are talking so
much about internal revenue, ever
read the Mills bill ? Do they know-
that the Mills bill reduces the inter
nal revenue $24,000,000 ?
It certainly does.
. How then do the parties stand?
The Democratic party in Congress
is trying to pass a bill wliich, reduce
the internal revenue $24,000,000.
The Republican party oppose the
bill and is fighting it.
"Oh!" says some Radical, "have
you not read the speeches oft lie Re
publican Senators?"
Yes, but we have also read that
there is no bill 'pending in the Sen
ate which has for its direct or ulti
mate object, the slightest reduction
ofthe internal revenue.
"Oh," says our Radical friend,
didn't the Republican platform de
clare for an abolition of the tobacco
tax, and after a while of the whole
internal revenue?"
Oh, yes, and that is the way the
Republican party generally does; it
declares as loud as anybody, but it
don't o, and-: besides that they diq
not declare iA. the platform until
several week's after the Mills bill
had done so.
Which is better, to alten),t to do
or to stand off and declare ?
Take your choice. ,
The Democrats are trying to do,
the Republicans are declaring.
Here's a state of things:
"Mr. McMillan sent to the Clerk's desk
and had read an extract from Mr. I'laine'6
l'aris letter, in which he opposes the repeal
of the whiskey tax, and says that to cheapen
the price of w hiskey is to increase its eon
sumption enormously."
We clip the above paragraph
from the proceedings of the House
of Representatives yesterday. Now
what are the Republicans going to
do about it? Their platform de
clares for "free whiskey," while the
plumed Knight, who, it is said, will
take the stump for Harrison and
Morton, opposes the repeal of the
whiske' tax and is opposed to "free
whiskey." and therefore, is not in
harmony with the Republican plat
form. .
The telegrams give an account of
the discovery of a murderous plot
of the Chicago anarchists to blow
up the Board of Trade building,
several other large buildings, and to
murder Judge Grinnell, Judge
Gary, Inspector Bon field and other
prominent persons engaged in the
prosecution during the celebrated
trial of the anarchists. It is said
that hundreds of lives would have
been sacrificed if the plot had not
been detected. This revolutionary
spirit must be kept down, and we
presume that Chicago will now have
another hemp-stretching.
The following special to the Char
lotte Chronicle from Asheville tells
of the speedy punishment of a bru
tal negro who had assaulted a white
girl, only 13 years of age, in the
suburbs of that city :
"A few minutes after fpur o'clock yester
day morning the clanging of the fire bell
aroused the citizens of the place from their
slumbers. On hastily arising it was found
that the jail had been broken open by a party
of masked men, who had taken the negro,
John Humphreys, out and lynched him. A
few minutes later the sheriff raised a posse
and went in pursuit, and in three hundred
yards of the jail found the body of the pris
oi&r hanging from a tree, in view of the eitv
I anfj the mountain side above, being the first
-lynching known in Western North Carolina."
AVOOL,.
We must take the tariff question
in broken doses. We must take it
quietly, carefully and slowly. ! Here
is a good thing from the New Haven
Xeuv, that will do for to day
"The simple fact is that the home
manufacturer, who cannot afford to
pay.the heavy duty on imported
wool, is driven to use all sorts of
ubstitutes cotton, shoddy, wool
waste, hair, Arc. He needs the for
eign wool for two reasons. In the
first place, not enough is grown at
home to meet the demand ; and,
secondly in many branchts of woolen
ndustry a quality of wool is needed
kvhich does not grow on American
heep. The woolen consumption of
he country is .over (Ul, H0,0(.

fc not over half that. To supply the
deficiency we imported last year
14,000,000 pounds of wool," and
lanufactured products of wool

Hounds. Would it not have been
t ) the interest of our labor to have
i nported those 200,0 X),HHi pounds
i l the raw state, to be converted
into carpets, cloth and yarns by
orkingmen here ? Would not such
a policy start up the idle woolen
n ills, increase the demand for labor
and result in the production of bet
ttr clothing at reduced prices?
ould it not broaden the market lor
A nerican woolens, and thus in
ciaase the demand for the native
w)ol ? In fine, would it not be a
universal benefit?"
MAKING RECORDS.
This news comes to us this morn-
infe in the telegrams sent out :
lr. Mills is well pleaded with the nnex-
je( ted progress made with the taritl' hill to
day. He now believes that its consideration
car be finished within the next two days.
I'u as many 'members w ho wish to 0 on
rec rd are absent, it is the present intention
to defer taking a final vote on the passage of
the bill until Saturdav, in order to a.'lord
thejn an opportunity to return to this city.
iVe rejoice that progress is mak
ing. e are glad. there is prospect
of j nearly vote. But we do not think
it proper to let the whole nation
wa t even twenty-four hours for ab
sent members just to let the absent
members make a record.
'here are the absent members.?
Wl o allowed them to be absent?
Oh they got leave of absence t Yes,

The Libby Prison Matter.
kii-liin.mil Stutc.
It v ill be remembered that in
February last Messrs. Rawlings A:
Rose made a sale of the old Libby
prison to Win. II. Cray, of Chicago.
The price to be paid was 2.'1,J(K).
February 27th, Mr. Cray made a
cash p: .yment of $o,82". The nther
payme its were to be made in six,
nine a id twelve months, or sooner,
at the option ofthe purchaser. Cray
afterwards disposed of the property
to a Chicago syndicate at a consid
erable tonus.
Nothing has been heard of the
part- ecently. The date of the
second payment is August 27th.
There seems to be an impression
that no more payment will be made,
and th; t the Chicago syndicate will
sell the property at auction. The
scheme of a national , museum of
war relb and horrors has not mate
rialized as was expected, and the
purchasers seem to have an elephant
on theii hands.
The Richmond owners of the
property stipulated from the first
that not a brick should be removed
until t! ie entire purchase money
was paid or amply secured, and
from pr 'sent prospects Libby Prison
will continue to be a point of inter
est to ptople visiting Richmond for
some tine to come.

after that make a few visits with his

Telegrams are being sent out to
absent members, warning them to
get back to Washington kit once to
vote on the tariff bill. Mr. Carl
isle expressed the opinion that a vote
could be taken on Thursday, but the
general expectation is thaj it will be
.Saturday. That will be jhe propo
sition of the majority nd it is
thought that the Republicans will
agree to it. A vote could j be taken
earlier, but it is thought advisable
to give more time to get the ab

expect a majority of fronij ten to fif

Thechief-prisomr was an old time
anarchist and was prominent in the
scenes of the Ilaytnarket time, lie
fore inakinj: the first arrest Boniield
had the houe surrounded by five
picked olucers. Just as daylight
was Jinwking the inspector was
joined in the vicinity by a stranger
and in a few moments later a man
emerged from the bouse. The stran
ger nudged P. infield and an order
was given to the ollicers to close in
on the ml'.n. He made a desperate
tight, but was quickly overpowered
and placed in charge of "two of the
ollicers. Honi'ieid and the other
etlicers then rushed into .the house.
They were met on the stairs by a
woman, wife of' the man who had
been captured, but she was brushed
a.-ide, and the police, guided by the
tranter, entered the hall bed-room
where, .hidden in a corner, the in
spector found an i vi a 'dozen dyna
mite cartridges wr.ipptd in brown
paper. Further search of the
room !i-eloSid a large revolver
and a dagger. Some letters itiid
other papeiv, which were also taken
are ol by the police, were found.
Then a patrol wagon was called and
the prisoner was taken to the station.
The ollicers next went to a house
some distance away, wuicu it is sup
posed was '!. do tuinn street. Here,
too. other a,r rests were made and",
these were .tak'ii to the central
station. Inspector Boniield iwJ re
ported to have said that the plot
was a well-;irranged one. About
twenty dlermined murderers were
in the conspiracy, and thi-y were at
a certain hour alter midnitrht to
night to be at the homes of (irililiell,
(hiry, llaithld. Frank Wiiiker, (ieii.

ot la- seii-at ion swept over the city
la-t night. W. A. Potts. .Jr., who
was to b change, I to-.Iay lor the nnir
der of l'iiiil Lineke, made the second
attempt to kill himselfatid succeeded.
About S o'clock lat evening he
eluded his keeper-; for a few moments
and took :i dose of chloral and mor
phine, dying about 12 -o'clock, liow
he procured the drug is. -til! a mat
ter of mystery. There is much
subdued ei;iteii:eiit and feeling
about ' the . matter and public
cen-ui-c is likely to be vi.-ited
upon certain partes, l'ott's body
is now lying in his cell ready
for burial, and large crowd.- are pass
ing in viewing the remains. Almost
the entire county bclievt d the trag
edy would end as it has, but inas
much as he failed in the first at
tempt to d'stfoy himself, it was
hoped that suilick-nt precautions
would be taken to prevent the sui
cide ami that the hi w -would be
avengi d. There i much feeling in
this county about the manner in
which this alfiir has been conduct
ed, and the effect is not good. So
ends the last act in this horrible
tragedy. Potts is dead bv his Own
hand, but still public sentiment is
not satislii d and justice is defeated.

The Plot Againt the
iAi.K.-i-.i iai, 111., .Inly 17. V. S.
.Marshal Marsh and twoTleputies
brought Informer Powlesthis morn
ing to test the truth of his story that
a dynamite cartridge had been
placed on the Rurlingtou track
northeast of here and subsequently,
in consequence of fear ofthe results,
had been concealed, in a hedge near
by. 'The ollicers and railroad of
ficials, and a number of municipal
ollicers and citizens went to the de
pot that Howies indicated and after
considerable digging found the dy
namite cartridge. It has caps on
both ends. It is now in the hands
ofthe railroad officials. The sheriff
and other officers then went to the
home of (leorge Clark, one of the
leading Brotherhood engineers, and
put him under arrest on a State
warrant. Clark made no resistance
and would say nothing save to as
sert his innocence.
