There has not been such a crowd at the White house In weeks as thronged the presidential ante rooms , today. A delegation 1 Kickapoo and Pot towattomie Indians, with painted faces, feathered headgear and colored blankets, saw -Mr. Mckin ley and urged him through their in terpreter, to appoint W. S. Field, of Oklahoma, territory deputy commis sioner of Indian affairs. Stephen Collins and A. D. Wilkins, of Pittsburg, representing the. Junior Order of American .Mechanics, were introduced to the president by Colonel W. A. Stone and had a talk with him about the appointment of a commis sioner of immigration. The order is not backing any candidate, but is de sirous that the appointee should earn estly favor the restriction of .immigra tion. A delegation from the National Saen gerbund, accompanied by(Mayor War wick, of Philadelphia, invited the pres ident to attend the National Saenger fest in the City of Brotherly Dove dur ing its sessions, June 21-26. They told !Mr. McKinley that forty cities and eleven states would be represented and that there would be a chorus of 6,000 coices and an orchestra of 250 in struments. The president said he would be glad to attend if his official duties would permit. A delegation of "Georgia republicans, headed by Colonel Farrow, called on the president in the afternoon in behalf of General Long-street, who is a candi date for railroad commissioner, to suc ceed General Wade Hampton.

Washington, May 5 It is understood at the treasury department that the action of the senate committee in cut ting out of the house tariff bill the retroactive section providing for the liquidattlon of the duties 'on Imported goods . purchased after April 1st., on the basis of the rates to-be fixed in the pending bill, will not necessarily result In the revocation of the depart ment's order requiring samples or other evidences of the character and value of the goods to be retained pend ing a final settlement. On the contra ry it is believed that the order will re main in force until the final passage of the bill. There is no evidence showing that the senate is not in favor of the provision, and inasmuch as the house Is likely to insist upon its retention, the treasury officials do-not feel justified in destroying its effect by failing to keep a proper record of the goods Im ported under it. - 1 Rheumatism Cured In a Day. - '"Mystic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 3 days. Its action upon the Bystem Is remarkable and mysterious. It re moves at once the cause and the dis ease immediately disappears. The firs? dose greatly benefits. T. F. Anthony, Ex-Postmaster of Promise' City, Iowa, says: "I bought one bottle of 'Mystic Cure for Rheu matism, and two doses of-it. did me more good than any medicine I ever took."75 cents and $1.0ff. Sold by J. H. Hardin, druggist. Wilmington, - Why She Gave It Up. -Did that young" Mr. Coesus, who's so attentive to you, ask you to give up the bicycle?" asked the scornful-bloomer girl. "No. he didn't," indignantly answer ed the young woman who had locked up her bloomers and put her bicycle away ia the basement. "Well, - it's mighty funny that you should give up the bicycle just when a rich young man who doesn't ride be comes devoted to you. Didn't he say anything- about bicycles or bloomers?" "He has never mentioned them," said the girl .who had given them up, and then she added as she looked sig nicantly at the costume of the girl in bloomers: "The only thing he said was that he admired a little dignity in a young woman." . v Thereupon there was fenough Indig nation on both sides to stock a church dissension. Chicago Post. Weekly Crop Bulletin. Washington, May 5. The -weather bureau In its review of crop conditions for the week ended May 3rd, says: Throughout the states of the cen tral valleys the week has been too cool for germination of seeds and rapid growth of vegetation. The light rain fall in states of the upper Mississippi, Red River of the North and Missouri valleys has, however, afforded favora ble opportunity for farm work which has been much delayed in consequence of excessive rains of previous weeks. In the southern states the corn crop is well advanced. The early planted being In silk and tassel. In the states north of the Ohio and Missouri rivers planting is much behind as compared with 1894, when at this date planting was in progress as far north as Mich igan, f- Winter wheat is in promising condi tion in the middle Atlantic states and generally -in the southern states. Some further improvement IsTeported from Ohio, southern Illinois and Missouri, but, as previously reported from the New England states, much of the crop has been winter-killed to such an ex-, tent that fields were plowed up for other crops. In southern Kansas and Oklahoma and generally throughout the southern states wheat is now heading.- . ' -' - Louisiana cotton has been unfavorav bly affected by cool weather over the central and, eastern portions of the cot ton belt and has also suffered consid erably from insects, and much replant ing will be necessary. Planting con tinues over the northern portion of the cotton region. In Texas the great part of the week was too cool for germi nation and growth, but the stand is reported better than heretofore sup posed. " i . Weyler's Mortgage Debts Decree. Washington, May 5. The state de partment has received a full transla tion of the decree of Captain General Weyler at Santa Clara April 19th last, relative to the collection of mort gage indebtedness in Cuba. A year ago the Spanish government found it necessary td suspend the right of cred itors to foreclose mortgages in Cuba, to prevent the utter ruin of the people who had already suffered so much from the war. The purpose of the last de cree is to modify the former measure so as to save the rights of the credit ors as far as possible,' without being unduly severe with the debtors. Thi3 decree gives notice that the interest on mortgages now due or to become due will not be payable until March 31st of next year, and that all proceedings looking to the collection of such debts will be suspended for the same time. After that date the mortgage holders may proceed to claim their debts, but the property may not be scld at public auction for the purpose of collecting. In Pinar del Rio, Habana, Matanzas and Santa Clara provinces the credit ors, in cases where the tenant has not suffered the loss of crops or home, may. proceed to collect 50 per cent, of the indebtedness by levying on the pro ducts of the property. It is provided that the creditor may draw the usual legal interest on the payments on ac count of mortgages which are extend ed by the decree until next May. Beaufort County Items. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Washington, N. C," May 5. The municipal election passed off quietly in Washington. The following were elected aldermen: First ward, TV ond ward. Dr. S. T. Nicholson, and Joseph E. Tayloe; Thir ward, Thomas Williams, colored, and John S. Howard, colored; Fourth ward, W. M. Chauncy: They are all democrats, except the two colored men from the Third ward. At the first meeting of the board S. C. Bra gaw was elected mayor. The graded school bill was carried by thirty-two majority of the registered voters. A colored man by the name of. Lewis Owen, was murdered in his yard at his home, near Hunter's Bridge, in this county, on last Monday.:; His own chil dren, a girl 14 years of age. a bey 12 years and a girl about 8 years old. are the guilty parties. The father had threatened to whip the boy, and when the old man came in from the field, where he had been at work, the boy shot him. ' killing him instantly. The three children have confessed guilt. As a result of the recent revival ser vices, held in the Methodist church, in this town, twenty-six persons, have joined that church. JPOINTED PARAGRAPHS. Senator Morgan's new name for Speaker Reed, "the great white filibus ter," seems likely to stick to the speak er, for it is being quoted and repeated all over the country. Houston Post.

There are hundreds of thousands of people .in Iowa who have no sympathy with the saloons but skho do not believe in prohibition, because they believe in temperance. When will the advocates of strict prohibiton learn this fact? -Burlington Hawk-Eye.

Houston Post. It is notorious that many persons In the departments at Washington, who were first appointed and then protected by the abuse of the civil service law, could not pass the examination requir ed as an entrance to their places. This is a phase of the Cleveland official pig gery that invites the keenest scrutiny of the investigating commissioners. New York Mail and Express. Nominations by the President. Washington, May 5. The president today sent the following nominations to the senate': Henry A. Castle, of Minnesota, auditor for the postoffice department; Stanford Newel, of Min nesota, envoy extraordinary and minis ter plenipotentiary of the United States to the Netherlands : James Bixby, of Minnesota, commissioner to negotiate with the Indians of the Cherokee and Choctaw nations: Elip Jennings, post master, New Decatur, Alabama. , Almost every day cases of wife beat ing are reported, but the whipping post which was re-established for the ex clusive benefit of these brutes, I neglected. Baltimore American. . . PUBLIC OPINION Europe is evidently '-111' at ease. The developments In the east have caused the uncomfortable feeling to prevail in the chancelleries that the genie whom the powers had imagined to be safely corked up had escaped from the sealed bottle. The Turk, flushed with his vic tory over the giaours in Greece, may now be heyond the control of the con cert. This is the bitter fruit of the nerveless and unrighteous policy of the powers. Already broad hints emanating from Yildiz Kiosk have been given to the concert regarding the probable de mands of Turkey as conditions of peace. Greece is to be rendered impotent by, the surrender of her fleet, the same to be held in pledge to secure the pay ment of a war indemnity to the sul tan; Thessaly is to be restored to the Turkish dominion, and the Greek fron tier of 1831 is to be re-established. Finally the Cretan reform programme is to be made waste paper. Philadel phia Record. x - The McKinley administration is not yet two months old, but it has already developed two tendencies of great im portance which work to the same end. The republicans control the executive department and the lower branch of the legislature. The calling of an extra session has enabled the dominant party to illustrate at the very outset its con ception, of how the president and the house of representatives should use their power. The answer in each case is a surrender to the senate. The party managers agreed that the firsf thing to do was to pass a new tariff " bill. Such a measure must originate in the house, and the obvious meaning of the constitutional provision is that a reve nue bill shall be essentially framed in that body. The senate is allowed the right of amendment, but it was not designed that this branch should prac tically construct the bill through the process of amendment. The'house, how ever, virtually threw the burden of construction upon the senate. Only a few days were granted for considera tion of the bill in the house, and no fair opportunity for the expression of opin ion was permitted, New York Evening Post. - The "silver craze" is quite lively yet, to judge from recent elections. A more significant proof that silver is not dead is given in the final results of the vote which has taken place on the free silver question itself in the labor organiza tions of the country, as they have been already announced in The Pilot. The Pittsburg Post, referring to this labor vote, says: "The Knights of Labor hav ing waited for the advance agent, who keeps a long way ahead of the show, by a practical unanimous vote of the order in the United States have declar ed in favor of the free coinage of sil ver. Two months were occupied in tak ing the vote, and the officers of the or der state that 98 per cent, of those vot ing declared for free coinage. This may not amount to much now, but indicates something as to the - congressional elections next year and the " greater contest in 1900." Ah, yet. Truth crushed to earth, is never knocked out of the ring, nor out of time; and, by permis sion, we beg to quote (not from Shakes peare) the following lines, which have been heard before, and very probably in relation to silver: 'Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again, For the eternal years of God ar,e hers ; While error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies amid his worshippers." All of which will be illustrated, with respect to free silver coinage and er ror, on or before the election day in November, 1900.
