'As the facts surrounding "Mr. Cleve land's raid upon- the -civil service are becoming 'better known, the indigna tion of the 'Republican Congressmen is growing. There have been several outbursts in the house against the civil service laws, while the senate is just aboutr angry enough 'to repeal the whole batch of them. For this state of things Mr. Cleveland is responsible. He introduced a spoils system under the guise of reform, and there is an ardent desire to overthrow what ; he accomplished. Philadelphia Enquirer. We see that a number of our weekly exchanges are actually using "plate" or "patent" editorials! Great God! what a monstrous degradation of the press is this! Reform this; reform 'it, reform it at once and altogether. Better have no editorials than these canned pro ducts. It not only degrades Journal ism, but the man who engages in us ing it, or who allows or countenances it; and whenever we see a sh,eet with these frauds usurping the .place the sanctum Sanctorum of free Thought, free speech and a free press, we are forced to 'believe that man responsible for this desecartion must be an ex-junk-dealer, or a 'huckster of rotten fish. 'Norfolk Pilot. . The Massacbusettts House of, 'Rep-' resentatives has done a surprising thing in refusing by a vote of 66 to21, to pass a" resolution asking congress to take action in "behalf of the Cubans. It is surprising, because it is the first of Its kind. No other legislative toody in any state has voted down such a resolution. 'But this vote does not im ply any lack of sympathy on the part of the men" Who cast it, or the people behind-them, "with," the cause of the Cuban insurgents. In Massachusetts, as in every other state 'in. the Union, the .people, : without distinction of party, give their ' sympathy-and good wishes to the oppressed in every land. There, as iri every other common wealth, the desire of the masses, in cluding all the classes, is that the Cu .bans may-gain their independence., Washington Post. . The controversies and bickerings among the Republican representatives in Congress over the" preposterously high rates of duty pFopo'sed in the wool schedule of the Dingley Tariff bill show that the war. between the wool growers and the woolen manufacturers still continues. The Ways -and Means Committee has not been able to com pose the quarrel by the practical re adoption of the -MCKinley rates, with, a few vicious changes for the worse. Robbers can "seldom agree on the di vision of the spoils either before hand or after the robbery. How the republi can leaders -can expect a' feature of. the ' tariff to stand which has twice been overwhelmingly -condemned . by the popular vote, . and which fails to satisfy the speciacl interests m whose be.h'alf lt: has been arranged, is more than the onlookers can understand. Solomon declared that there -were four things too wonderful for :h'im to ex plain: (1) "The way of an eagle in air: (2) the way of a serpent upon a, rock; (3) the way of a ship upon the sea; and (4) the way of a man with a maid.". Had Solomon been a witness of the methods of constructing protective tariffs in the United States he. would have enlarged his list of things inscrutable. Philadelphia-Record.

Harrison, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Cleve land, O.; was for years a sufferer from dyspepsia and general debility, and in his. weakened condition, resulting from the above causes, he had the additional ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from this eomplication of disorders. Mr. Harrison's condition was becoming very serious, when he commenced to take P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy. Its effects were marked and- immediate. Read his letter to us. Its earnestness is apparent: sunermg irom ayspepsia ana general debility I beg to submit my testimonial as to the efficacy of your P. P.

The Allen Resolution, Regarding the Pro posed Execution of General Rivera, Pass ed After a Heated Debate Senator Allen Assails the Spanish Mode of Warfare Senator Chandler Raises a Breeze Aid for the Flood. Sufferers. . SENATE. iWashirigtonjApril 5. The senate, .by an unanimous .vote, adopted Senator Allen's resolution, , reciting the reports that- General Ruiz Rivera, the Cuban commander, is about to he tried "by drum-head court-martial and shot, and expressing the judgment of the senate that If these reports are true the pres ident of the United States should pro test to 'the Spanish government against such a Violation of, the rules of civi lized warfare. This resolution does not go to the house of representatives, and becomes effective as a measure of advice to the president by Its adoption today. Although opposition was withdrawn on the final vote, there was spirited op position in the early stages of the de bate, and a test vote on the compara tive strength of the Cuban sentiment in the senate. The test occurred on a motion to refer the resolution M the committee on foreign relations.' . Senator Hale, who has been iproml nently identified with the opposition to 1 refer, and it was suipopr'ted by Sen ator Hoar, another prominent figure in tne opposition, to' Cuban resolutions. The debate was very spirited, and at times quite personal. The Hale motion to refer was defeated, 21 to 27, and the resolution adopted, 44 to 0, Senators HOar and Hale refraining from voting. Another tniban resolution comes up tomorrow that of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, declaring that a state of war exists in Cuba and recognizing Iboth parties as belligerents. " After the disposal of the Cuban ques- j tion the day was given to speeches Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, speaking for two hours on the develop ments or the American merchant ma- j rine, and Seriator Lindsay, of Ken tucky, advocating the passage of the bankruptcy Wll, known as the Torrey bill, now before the senate.. Late in the day a joint resolution by Senator ! Bate, of Tennessee, was agreed to, di recting the surgeon general of the ma rine 'hospital service to aid the Mis sissippi river flood sufferers by the dis tribution of tents, blankets, food and medicine under the epidemic fund of 1893, and to purchase further supplies under the present epidemic fund for similar distribution. . There was quite a breeze when Sen-" ator Chandler introduced a bill abol ishifng competition in trade and pro duction, and authorizing combinations to enable merchants, manufacturers and producers of commodities subject to interstate commerce to maintain prices and profits, notwithstanding business depression' . . Senator Chandler said he would noj press this hill unless an effort wa- made to pass the "pooling bill" allow ing railroads to combine. The Cuban question then came tip on the resolution of Senator Allen heretofore introduced. Senator Allen urged immediate adoption of his reso lution. He emphatically dissented, he said, from the proposition that the American congress must sit. idly by While this savage and barbarous con test proceeded a't the very threshold. Within 100 miles of our shore Women and children were being butchered, and the methods of civilized warfare set at defiance. Murder, rape and devasta tion were playing their parts In tbo destruction 'f the Island. And were we, a Christian people, he asked, will ing to sit by and not raise a voice in defence of these people. He declared that Spain's course had "been one o bloodshed and cruelty. This was so notably true as to ; recent events in the Philippine islands and in Cuba that Spain had become an "outlaw nation," not entitled to recognition by civilized countries. It was time, for us to act declared the senator. 'If the president of the United State, will send our navy to Cuba," exclaim-, ed 'Senator Allen, "and warn Spain that she must observe the methods of civilized warfare or that every Spanish seaport will be razed to its foundation hostilfties would cease and Cuba would be free within three months." Senator Hoar responded In a calm and impressive manner. He spoke of the aspirations of the founders of the government in establishing the sen ate -as 'the stay arid resisting power against those passioate" and (fitful gusts of sentiment that had wrecked every other republic on earth. The symbol of the senate was more properly the sturdy and slow maturing oak, rather than the mushroom which rotted in an hour. This resolution was based on mere report and prophesy. "it is a fact," asserted senator Alien from across the' aisle. "Does the sen ator (Hoar) confess himself in such ig norance?" Senator Hoar declined to" yield, but Senator Allen insisted on repeating that the danger to General Rivera was an authenticated fact, known to all men. Senator Hoar, continuing, denied that there was anything 'but report and prophesy at the 'base of this resolu tion. He rejected with indignation any assertions that he was guided on these great questions of humanity. by the in terests or opinion of the business eie- ments, as had been suggested. When the. time came for any well considered movement in behalf of humane war fare in Cuba, or elsewhere, it would have his support. Senator Allen again took the floor. addressing himself frequently to Sen ator Hoar in person. The danger to General (Rivera was not rumor, and in so characterizing it, the Massachusetts senator showed his "weakness anxi puerility." The American, people knew the facts and the Massachusetts sen ator knew them that Rivera was about to be tried and shot. 'I wish I had the power to land United States soldiers on the island of Cuba and to send our fleets there," said Senator vAtlen, "and the Spanish forces would be ground to inifinitesmal pieces and this barbarity would end." Senator Hale said that he would b williner to mass a resolution inquiring of the state department what informa tion it had in the matter. The senate had had experience taking steps based on newspaper rumors, which it after wards regretted. Therefore, ne moved the reference of the resolution to the comimdttee on foreign relations. Senator Stewart spoke ox the war as brutal and disgraceful to the clvilizat tion of the age. Speakingof the atrocities of the Cu-i ban war. Senator Gallinger said that he knew of an - incident, not denied, that the Spanish soldiers had cut to piecea twelve Guban children,' merely to show how artistically they could slash them It was time to terminate this state of 'barbarity on that island such as curdled: the Iblood of every American heart. It Was time that Spain should be given to understand that this was the Nineteenth century. After the defeat of the motion to re fer the resolution to the omnIttee, Senator Bacon, democrat, of Georgia, suggested that It tie amended so as to read "If such report is found to be true," and Senator Gray that the word "oresident" be substituted for govern menit, both of which amendments were accepted by Senator Allen. Then Sen ator Hoar proposed that "Information has come to the senate" be substituted for "it is reported." Senator Alien re marked that he saw no difference, but Senator Hoar contended that there wa a great difference, and Senator Allen said, "I will accept anything to save this man's life." . The resolu tion was adopted ! wl thou J a 'dissenting vote. At 4:35 the senate held a brief ex eeutive session and then adjourned. Maniclpal Elections. Lansing, Mich.; April 5.

Although the cot ton market was ; rather quiet today it did not entirely subside into the -dull ness of last week. The weak trading continues to denote no more interest on the part of the public in the price of the staple. The reports from the Mississip pi valley this morning were the most alarming yet received and the Liver pool cables reported an advance of -64d. Our market opened higher, May selling on the first; call at 7.11. After the opening Liverpool bought freely here and May advanced to 7.12. A period of stagnation ensued, which was followed by some liquidation and by re newed selling of the. fall months, and prices gradually declined during the re mainder of the day. - The close was barely steady, with 7.06 - bid for May. The failure of prices to advance today has encouraged the bulls, but we have faith in cotton. RIORDAN & CQ. New Tork Stock Market. ' New Tork, April 5.1 traders in stocks made a plaything of New Jersey Cen tral stock today and worked their will with it. So inviting a subject for spec ulation was it that it absorbed a large share of attention in a very narrow market, its wide andj erratic fluctutions making it especially available for the purposes of the traders. Later, the market succumbed to a number of ad verse influences, or what were inter preted as such.by the dealers. The prin cipal of these was the news that the supreme court had refused to advance the appeal of the Joint Traffic Associa tion case to a hearing' at the present term of court and had set the first Monday in October as the date of hear ing. The resumption of the Cuban question as a subject of debate in the senate worked on the fears of dealers to some extent. Railway bonds were dull and mainly featureless. Govern ment bonds displayed an easier ten dency with sales restricted to $3,000. The Chicago Markets. Chicago, April 5. Wheat closed squarely under the! 70c mark today, the May option suffering a decline of lc per bushel and July c the great er weakness in May being by changing over from that month to the more de ferred delivery: A big drop in Liver pool caused a weak opening and liqui dation continued almost without inter ruption all day. ' Other markets were sympathetically weak, corn declining to c and pro visions 2 to 15c. Oats closed practi cally without change.! ! Old People.

The absence of President Worthington this morning caused- Senator Goebel, (democrat) president pro tern, of the senate, to preside at the joint session. According to . an agreement made previously, butj one vote was cast ipr ea.cn canuiuaie, as follows: Blackburn 1, Hunter 1, Boyle 1, Stone 1. The joint assembly then adjourned until tomorrow. The roll, was not Called, but a quorum was not present, many of the representatives hot having returned from their homes where they spent Sunday. The joint assembly was in session Just five! minutes. On ac count fit the absence of many of the members of the general assembly, the steering committee of the two parties had come to an understanding that un til a quorum is present but one ballot will be cast for each man, and as. the news of their agreement, became public property, early in the day, there was no interst takn inj the joint session save that it might develope some un- looked for complication. v . - I Two Lives Saved.

(Correspondence of The Messenger.) Burgaw, N. C., April 5. Editors Messenger: - Having seen several references in The Messenger relative to the remarkable gun of Colonel Thomas Bloodworth. most of which was erroneous or partly so, (except the statement of Mr. Mc Clammy), I desire to write a few lines on the subject in order to set the public right as to. Col. Thomas Bloodworth,the hero of that ' wonderful gun, and Timothy. Bloodworth, through whose influence and vote Raleigh was made the capital of North Carolina. Colonel Thomas Bloodworth was a gun smith by trade, and passionately fond of hunting. He never lost ari op portunity of annoying the British at every available point. This, of course, rendered him obnoxious to the British, ana tney sougnt every opportunity to retaliate. He sooon found it was un healthy to remain at home and snent a. considerable part of his time In the woods hunting. On one occasion dur ing the occupancy of Wilmington by the British, he was out with his rlntm chasing a fox at Point Peter, when .all at once; his dogs ceased, yelping and could not - be heard. He proceeded through the swamp in the direction of where he last heard them, and havine discovered an. entrance or cavity in the ground, he imagined $e heard the dis- ' tant bark of his dogs. ' After some hasty preparation wilth matches and kindling he entered the cave arid found his trusty dogs had captured a fox, two pusuiiia tuiu a. mum. xie survey (XI the subterraneous passage and found it led to the root of a very large cypress Which was hollow. Here he concocted a plan by which he could further annoy the British. He returned home, made him a rifle to carry a two ounce-ball, took his son and one Padgett, with three weeks rations and repaired to the garrison, he had prepared in the big evnress bv buildine- scaffolds nr In rh- hollow of the tree, where he arranged a port hole for "Old Bess," as he called his newly made gun. As the British were accustomed to watering their horses and assembling at Market dock he arranged the port hole so the gun. would bear on that particular point and for several mornings when "Old Bess" was discharged from the cypress gar rison some poor Britisher bit the dust . or was tipped Into the river. This narrative Is -too long to be re- peated here, when it can be read in 'Caruther's Sketches, of North Caro lina." Timothy Bloodworth, my grand fath er, was a member of the house of com- . mons from 1779 to 1784 inclusive. United States senator In 1786 and subsequently speaker of the senate of North Caro lina 1788, and in 1790 and '91 represented the Cape Fear district in the lower . house of congress. When the location -of the site of the government of North Carolina came up '. in the legislature. the contest narrowed down to Fayette ville and Raleigh and by his vote the ; latter place wasselected. He dared to do what he conceived to be right, even though it might cause him to be less popular. He gave the vote and Raleigh was selected as the capital of the state and In perpetuity of his name the com missioners who laid out the city of Ra leigh called one of the streets Blood worth. R.- N.
