There is mapk in G rover Cleveland's

Blaine is trying to mako out that
there is" no free trade in his reciprocity
scheme. He is ignorant, it seems, of
the meaning of his own movement.
This leads the Louisville Courier-Journal
to say; .
"Christopher Columbus never knew
that he had dicovered America; and
perhaps .lames G. Blaine is not aware
that he has discovered free trade.''

Senator George has made a "power

liberty and property that the white
man eniovs, but he denied that the ne

There are printed 7o) copies sof that
monumental ork,thn Colonial Jlccord,
and 'there are now printed eight vol
umcjs. The copy for the two others is
in hand. It is earned that the trustees
of the library will perhaps" soon put
thisjvaluame work on sale. Ihere are
numerous demauds for it, not only by
libraries but by private individuals. It
is said to benhe most complete work of
the sort yet published in the United
States. Col. Sauuders has done a
great dfal for North Carolina and sure
ly tljiis is not the least of his public ser
vices. The speaking on the 2"th .will be
held at the fair ground, and the
choice of that place is excellent. It is
easy of access and just the place for the
big .barbecue. In a day or two the list
of speakers will be announced. Sena
tor Vance will certainly be here, and
some other distinguished Democrats.
Vance will be given an ovation. The Al
liance men intend to come in and show
theiret-t of the people what thev think
of "Old Zeb." The Alliance men in
Wake are Democrats nearly to a ma.n.
f Tobacco poured in yes-terday and last
night. The receipts were larger than
in any one day in three' years. The
(breaks at the three warehouses to-day
were immense and the reputation of
tne .market for high prices was well
.sustained'. There was a pretty good
proportion of bright tobaec(. The wet
weather of . course hurt- the tobacco
some, by causing a late growth which
affected cures; the tobacco in such cases
being heavv and rank.
Attorney General Davidson is back
from his holiday at Ashevil'e, and
looks very well. He gives glorious ac
counts of Asheville. There are now
liOO men at work at Vanderbilt's castle
and; park. He saw three pieces of
property in Asheville on which a mil
lion of dollars will be expetided. in the
next twelve months, tho expenditure
having already begun. He tells me
the tobacco west of the Blue Ridge is
affected by the wet weather and is not
curing as well as was expected.
M;jch work is to be done at the fajr
grounds in the next three weeks. The
race track will be given particular at
tention. Tho track is not used enough.
One: would expect to see more racing
here, where there is so much fast
horde flesh. Ilaleigh ought to have
spring races, for good purses.
Mr. Ashcraft, ono of the brightest
students at the Agricultural and Me
chanical College, left yesterday for
home, his eyesight having partially
failed. There are now sixty-one board
ers lat this college. The remaining
fifteen students live in Raleigh and
pay for their tuition.
Governor Fowle receives many con
gratulations upon his improvement in
health. The cooler weather which
has come has a very beneticial elTect
upon him.
The 105tll North Carolina reports is
being sent out. It goes to all the Gov
ernors of the various States, from the
llxecutive Department.
Mf. W: P. Batchelor, the well
knosvn owner of that splendid horse,
Panilico, is home again from New Kug-
land. His grand horse is one of the
few which can run faster each succes
sive: heat, thus showing great spirit
and staying power.
A couple of convicts were brought to
the onitentiary-from Union county to
day.' As the cotton men say, the re
ceipts of convicts during the past ten
days have been "quite liberal,7 some
thirty having come in.
There are now sixty county convicts.
Of these twenty are at work on the
farm at the workhouse, while the
others are bettering the public high
ways. Never at this season of the year was
the Capitol square anything near as
attractive as at present. The grass is
green and beautifully kept, while the
trees have uot jet begun to cast their
lea vies. The many new trees are grow-
i-Ngrvigorously.
Mr. A. 1. Holland, of Goldsboro, has
the contract for grading the grounds
at the encampment, being the lowest
bidder. He gets to work this week,
and! will "Use experienced white railway
laborers, and good machinery. He has
done much grading on railways and Is
well recommended. He will also plant
the Otaheite mulberry trees on the
grounds: These will outline the place
on which the tents will be pitched.
The teuts will bo nearest the line of
roadway in front. In rear will be four
pavilions, each 50x100 feet, which will
not only afford a grateful shade but
will be used for instruction and! recrea
tion and as mess halls. In a general
way the plan will be that followed at
Sea Girt, New Jersey, and at Niantic,
Connecticut; both excellent models as
National guard camps.
The grounds after grading will be
ploughed, harrowed, trenched and put
down in cane grass, and will be sur
rounded with a wire fence. About
thirty acres will be thus treated. Two
pieces of swampy ground will be clear
ed of timber and drained. The com
fort of the troops will in every way be
assured and a complete system of water
supply will be provided. Contracts
for all these are made, as also for bath
houses at a point in the channel, where
at all stages of tide there is a good
depth of water. Governor Fowle takes
a deep interest in the improvements at
the camp, as indeed he does in all
things which concern the welfare and
efficiency of the State Guard.
The engineer is at work looking after
the heating apparatus of the capitol,
so as to have all in perfect shape when
cold weather comes.

Carnot to VUit iuen Victoria.
Duhlix, Sept. 19. The busiest place
in Dublin to-dav U the headquarters of
the Land League. Nationalists are
calling in a constant stream to learn
the latest news in regard to arrest and
to consult on plans of action for the
immediate future. Mr. Dillon who
came on to Dublin last night Is the cen
tre of an animated circle. No note of
despondency is detected in the utter
ances of the leaders; on the contrary
there seems to be fresh confidence and
new enthusiasm instead of regarding
the arrests lis a calamity the prevailing
tendency is to rejoice at them as a
blessing In disguise. Tho action of
Balfour, the Nationalists hold to have
been a most tactical blunder for the
Government. They are satisfied that
it will result in signal advantages to
the Irish- cause. The inability oL
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien to
make the proposed trip to Amer
ica is much regretted, but tae
plan of presenting the true state of
Ireland tj the American public by
means of speeches by leading Irish
orators has not been abandoned. Who
will be selected to go to America has
not jet been determined. In Mr.
O'Brien's absence it was not considered
desirable to come to any decision in so
important a matter. It is certain that
men prominent in the Nationalist party
will be selected to undertake the work
in America which Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien had hoped to do.
Sydney, N. S. W., Sept. 19. Two
thousand special constables have been
enrolled. The Lab. r Conference has
finally decided to call out the sheep
shearers and wool carriers next Wed
nesday. Dl'ULIX, Sept. I'J. John Collinaire
and Michael Dalton, members of he
National League, have been arrested.
T. D Sullivan will piobably make a
tour of America.
Paris, Sept. 11). The Courier Fran
cause says that President Carnot is
expected to visit Queen Victoria at
Windsor next spring.
London, Sept. 10. Ad vices' from
Hiago state that the Turkish man-of-
war Ertogroul has foundered at sea and
that five hundred of her crew were
drowned. The ErtogrouPwas a wooden
frigate-built cruiser of 2844 tons dis
placement. She mounted forty-one
guns of small calibre and was built in
18G3. O.-man Pacha and Ali Pacha,
envoys of the Sultan to the Emperor of
Japan,were passengers on her and were
drowned.
Pahis, Sept.19. France has entered
into contract to supply the Russian
Government with an enormous num
ber of rifles. According to the terms
of the contract, 500,000 of weapons will
be delivered within eighteen month.
London, Sept. VJ. The arrest of the
Irish leaders yesterday fills a conspic
uous place in the newspapers through
out the United Kingdom this morning.
Various explanations are surmised to
account for Balfour's sudden stroke.
The commonest one on the part of the
Liberal press is -that the object was
to prevent Dillon and O'Brien from
going to America to arouse American
sympathy and solicit American aid-.
Conservatives, however, scout the idea
that Balfour could have acted from
such a motive. They see in his present
policy a laudable effort to prevent the
recurrence of disorder in Ireland. On
the whole, one gets tho impression that
the predominant public opinion is so
far extremely-doubtful of the -wisdom
or expediency of the Government's
course. .

Hank Loe S6 .500.00 Gold.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Secretary
Windom's heavy purchase of 4 per
cent, bonds lha brought immediate
ea?e in the money market. No iin- j
healthy expansion of speculation has
appeared as yet and commercial loans
arw again quoted at 6 to 7 per cent.,
while money on call jias fallen from
about 1(H) to 4i percent. It is impor
tant to notice that the pressure for
money still increases at most of the in
terior centre?, and the banks, of Eng
land, France and Germauv lo-t about
S0,5X),000in gold lat wee. Until the
crops move more freely the future of
the New York money market will not
be entirely unclouded. The root of
the difficulty i is that- wheat is graded
at 03! at Chicago and $1,021 here, and
only about il.0.J at Liverpool for he
same grade, so that to free and natural
movement to the seaboard or hence to
Europe can take place.
The exports of wheat and corn are
not half those of last year at correspond
ing dates, but imports are coming for
ward in large volume, the anxiety to
get goods entered here before the new
taritT goes into effect being great. The
movement during the past week has
been toward a natural adjustment of
prices and wheat is 3 cents lower, with
sales of 31,000,000 bushels; corn H cents
lower, with sales of 12,o00,0(K) bushels;
cotton an I cent lower, with sales of
320,000 balesand iard and hogs a shade
lower, but oats have risen a fraction,
oil nearly a cent aud butter and some
other farm products are higher.
Interioj money markets are gener
ally closer with strong demand, which
an unprecedented volume of business
naturally causes. Closeness also ex
ists at some Southern points; Galves
ton hopes fori relief as soon as cotton
moves; Atlanta reports cotton going
forward rapidly and not much trouble
caused hy tight money; and Savannah
reports a close market with receipts of
37,000 bales cotton, 15,500 barrels rosin
and 3,650 casks spirits.
The consumption ot iron is enormous;
the largest ever known, and plate,
structural, sheet and wrought pipe
works are crowded. But new business
in bar iron is not heavv and the de
mand for rails is dull, with some sales at
$30, and reports of others even lower.
The feeling that the consumption of
iron may not be quite sustained on the
the whole while production is largely
increasing, causes a weakness in the
market for pig iron, though quotations
dor t cnanffe.
The great increase in gate's ot "woof
make a revival in that manufacture and
cotton manufacture is active, the de
cline in raw material helping.
The dry goods business is growing in
activity and shipping departments are
crowded. Eyen the woolen. goods im
provement over last year is conceded.
The stock market declined steadily,
while money was scarce and tight and
the recovery has as yet been but mod
erate. The business failures number for the
United States 164. Canada 2i;" total 190,
compared with 193 last week.
isouth Carolina Ilepublicano.
Columbia, S. C, Sept. 19. The Re
publican State convention to-day elect
ed Internal Revenue Collector Web
ster chairman of the State executive
committee. The platform adopted en
dorses the administration and Speaker
Reed's course, calls for the passage of
the Blair Educa'iooal bill and of the
Lodge Force bill and declares South
Carolina's educational system wholly
inadequate.
II. Deas, colored, of Darlington,
offered the following:
licsohxd, In order to secure a just,
liberal and impartial administration
lor all the people of the State, regard
less of party or color, the members of
this convention hereby .determine to
eupportsat the polls as choice for Gov
ernor, Chief Judfe A. C. Haskell, of
this citj and that the State executive
committee bo instructed to carry out
the wishes of the convention in this
respect.
Mr. Deas' speech, in support of his
resolution, was the sensation of the
ccn vention. He took the ground that
the convention had a splendid oppor
tunity to do something to 6how to
the people o the State that the Re
publicans of South Carolina had 6ome
regard for decency and good govern
ment and some detestation of Till
manism." All over the State it was
being asked if the Republicans would
not havo the manhood and courage to
put up a ticket, either Republican or
Democratic, for which the decent ele
ment of the State could vote. He for
one wanted decency or wanted noth
ing. All of the trouble in the State
came from the rule of illiterate whites,
and he did not want that to go on any
longer.
After much speech making the con
vention decided not to adopt the reso
lution. Judge Haskell is a leading
aoti-Tillmanite and one of the foremost
Democrats of South Carolina, with a
fine military and civil record. No
nominations for State offices were made,
and after 3 o'clock this morning the
convention adjourned sine die.

WASHINGTON, Sept; 19. The con
ference on the Tariff bill this morning
did not touch upon matters of public
interest. The proceedings were con
fined to action upon ro forma amend
ments or those involving no pronounced
differences 'of opinion. The sugar,
binding twine and tariff commis
sion clauses were not touched.
It is the understanding of the Dem
ocratic conferees that daily ses
sions of the conference are to be
purely format and that toints of real
importance at issue are to bo brought
forward only after the Republican
managers have first adjusted their
differences. It is said the metal sched
ule is really tho principal obstacle to
agreement by the Republican con
ferees, the Senate conferees insist
ing on its amendments lower
ing duties and the House con
ferees insisting on the restoration of
duties in the bill as it passed the
House, inasmuch as on many matters
of importance they have yielded to the
demands of the Senate. It is said that
the sugar schedule has been agreed to
by the Republicans but formal action i
withheld until other matters of differ
ence' are compromised. The general
belief is now, that the conferees will
hold their final session on Monday and
that Congress will adjourn about a
week later.
The President signed the anti-Lottery
and River and Harbor bilU at
