In le than sixty days the great Co
lumbian exposition will close. It will
pas into history as the greatest and most
magnificent show of the earth. In a very
important sense it has marked a new era
in the world's history. The nations of
the earth have been brought together.
Mankind has learned, to recognize more
the brotherhood of the human race.
History and science have been taught by
object lesions, the arts encouraged and
industry fostered. Many toplc have
attended it, and, jterhajw, should it re
main ojen another year, and another,
the attendance would be as large. It is
a matter of regret that the beautiful and
artistic builrting. whichrhavc awaken the
admiration of all nations, are to-be torn
down. It will be a shock to the senti
mental to learn that they will be sold to
the junk dealers.
Could the great mass of the people
vUit it, it would doubtless prove to be
the nobht educational agency of our
time. Itut unfortunately it is to onlv
comparatively few that this privilege is
granted, and even to these their visits
are necessarily brief. Th'-- w ho need it
nwt ate denied this privilege of seeing
the pawAibilitic of civilizatiou and the
evideticsof hamtn pngress.

WASHINGTON, I). C.,
1311 II Street, N. W.;
September 6, 1883.
There was an important conference
held on Saturday in Secretary Carlisle's
office Iroui which important results are
expected. It was a council of adminis
tration leaders, limited to half a dozen,
following an informal conference at the
White House on the previous uight. It
had in view the formulating a safe plan
for enlarging the circulation.
Their project involves to all intents the
remodeling of the currency system of
the government, and multiplying the
channels by which the notes pass into
circulation. So far as the details of the
scheme can be learned it was to be pre
faced by the repeal of the practically
prohibitive tax upou State banks, which
would make it possible to issue circula
ting note to all banks, national banks
and others, which would organize under
State charters. The national kinks
would take charters from the States and
be placed upon thesa'nie footing as banks
of issue with the others. All note
would be p-inted by the government, as
under the .resent system, would be uni
form in desigu and furnished at a per
centage upon their face sufficient to
cover the cost of getting them up.
Oue of the greatest difficulties involved
in this plan is that it would necessitate a
change of the arraugement by which na
tional banks dejiosit government bonds
to secure their circulation. Another
basis of securities for the notes would
have to be adopted, one which would be
identical iu all the States and would in
sure a perfectly stable backing for the
bank Lisues, but would admit of other
collateral than government bonds. To
devise this system upon an equitable and
safe bitsis would require the wisdom of
the most level-headed financiers of all
sections. The great advantage which the
advocates of such a system have always
urged, and which is presumably looked
for by the conferees, is more elastic cur
rency, more easily accessible, and to be
cornered with greater difficulty.
While the .State bank scheme would
not satisfv the extreme silverites. It
would apjiease many who demaud a
larger circulating medium, as well as the
representatives who have urged that
with repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act should come the adop
tion of a definite financial policy. Sena
tor Voorhees in his speech, which voiced
to some degree, at least, the policy of the
administration and for which Secretary
Carlisle furnished statistical material,
advocated the repeal of the State bank
tax. In reply to the standing objections
of a lack of stability, which are brought
against tho State bank currency, he de
clared that modern facilities for jora
munication brought banks 2,000 miles
apart nearer than those in adjoining
counties before the war, and made possi
ble a knowledge of the status of all
financial institutions.
There are many plans for financial re
lief beside the establishment of State
banks. Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky,
a repeal man, has an idea, which has not
yet been formulated in a bill, that the
best way out of the difficulty is the free,
but limited, coinage of silver, say to the
extent of thirty or forty millions of ounces
a year. He thinks that this would indi
cate to the eopleof the country that the
Government does not propose to discard
silver altogether, while at the same time
it would prevent the amount of silver
froin becoming too large to be naturally
and freely absorbed in the channels of
trade. Senator Ijndsay would have this
tried as an exjeriment for ten years, but
the silver men, who have been consider
ing the matter, say that there would be
no experiment in it, for silver, as soon as
it was coined as money on a parity w ith
gold, would rise to that parity and re
tain it.
Senator Cmkrell's idea is to add 20 per
cent, to the gold certificates now Issued,
without, however, increasing the amount
of gold now held by the Treasury. He
believes that this gold is sufficient to car
ry a larger circulation than it now up
holds, and with the guarantee of the
Government behind them the certificates
would never be presented for redemption.
Under the present law these gold certifi
cates are only payable for the principal
and interest of the public debt, but Sen
ator Cockrell proposes that they shall be
made available for all the obligations of
the Government. If his proposition
should be enacted into law it would add
immediately aut 35,000,000 to the
circulation of the conntry'anrl would, in
his opinion, break the back of the panic.
Senator Cockrell, by the way, is an earn
est believer in the circulation of paper
money. He says the people of the United
States will never return to the use of
gold or silver coins, and he has been busy
for the List ten days studying statistics
to learn how much is lost by abrasion.
While the figures are not Tery conclusive
on this subject, he has found enough to
convince him that if gold -and silver
coins were to be used exclusively, the
annual loss by wear would be enormons,
and might, in time, bo greater than the
recuperation possible through the output
of the mines.
Id conversation a night or two ago
with some North Carolina members of
Congress, one of them said that he didn't
care for free coinage of silver if the party
would enaet a law giving the people State
banks. There is no good reason why we
cannot have both, or a great deal of both.
The Southern Democrats will be well
satisfied with State banks, and glad to
get them; and will then be in a position
to advocate the continued coinage of sil
ver in a way that will add to the money
in circulation and be productive of no
distrust. On the other hand, the men
representing the mining States, oppose
any and every increase of the currency
which does not involve free coinage. We
have stood by them and helped them
secure an increase of currency by means
of f rco coinage. Now, if they were not
utterly selfish, they would stand by us
in our desire to enlarge the circulation
by the issue of State bank notes. After
that shall be done, as I hope and be
lieve will be accomplished, the -silver
question will again come to the front,
and the use of silver as money secured.
While Senator Coke of Texas, in his
speech against the repeal of the Sherman
act, was speaking of the efforts of New
York bankers to influence financial leg
islation, he was interrupted by Mr. Vance
who said he had a letter bearing on that
point which he would read to the Senate.
It was a letter received by Mr. I. H.Foust,
of Salisbury, N. C, from E. D. Shepard
Si CO., bankers, of No. 3 Broad street,
New York. The letter declines the offer
of a loan and adds: "The Senators from
your country are not looked upon as pro
moters of the general welfare. If their
stand represents the views of your people
on financial matters, it will bo very diffi
cult for you to secure any accommoda
tion from capitalists in this section until
there is a decided change."
There is a rumor here to-day that six
teen Republican Senators and five Demo
cratic Senators have signed an agreement
to filibuster to the extreme limit of time
and to prevent a vote on the Voorhees
bill. If this rumor should prove true, it
is a very serious state of affairs. There
is no rule in the Senate by which debate
can be cut off, and if as many as twenty
one Senators bind themselves to prevent
a vote, it is difficult to see how.a vote
can soon be reached. The important
matter is that whatever is to be done
should be done quickly. So far as the
South is concerned, we are particularly
interested that final action shall be taken
before October 1st otherwise there is an
almost certainty that our cotton crop
will be sacrificed. I do not believe that
the rumor is well founded, and I feel
sure thAt a vote will bo taken this month.

The Pan American Medical Congress
is in session here. It has attracted hun
dreds of distinguished doctors from all
sections of the world. Among those from
North Carolina are Dr. Albert Auderson
of Wilson; Dr. IL II. Lewis, of Raleigh,
and Dr. Wm. A. Graham, of Charlotte,
and others are expected.
During the session of the conference
Dr. Carl Von Ruck will give his views on
the climate of western North Carolina,
with a consideration of the relative value
of high and medium altitudes in the
treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
m m m
The President and his family have re
turned after an absence of two months
at Gray Gables. There has existed much
apprehension on the score of the health
of our Chief Magistrate, and many have
feared that he was suffering from a can
cer. This fear gained ground from the
publication of a circumstantial sounding
account of how an operation was per:
formed on Mr. Benedict's yacht. Now
that Mr. Cleveland is back, looking
strong and well, the truth seems to bo
that he had an operation performed that
was necessitated by a very bad tooth;
that the operation was successful; and
that he has recovered from the effects of
the operation and from tho weariness
which too much work last spring brought
upon him. ' He was at the theatre Satur
day night, and those who saw him say
that he never looked better in his life.
It is devoutly to bo hoped that he may
be spared many years to serve his coun
try with the continued patriotism and
ability that have always maiked his pub
lic career.
Senator Sherman's set speech on the
financial question lias been one of the
features of the week. He was very vig
orous in defending his record, and said
that any man who said that silver was
demonetized by a trick or a fraud was a
liar. It is reported that Mr. Stewart
will reply to that part of his speech and
make things spicy.
Here is a story from the Senate cloak
room, says the Ist. It was just after
Senator Sherman had finished his great
speech in favor of the repeal of the bill
which bears his name. Senator Jones,
of Nevada, according to the story, insist
ed that all the facts about the way the
silver law came to be agreed upon in
conference had never been told. Turning
to a group of Senators he said that he
would tell the history of that legislation
in the conference committee, and here it
is:
"They were all sitting around in the
conference room when I came in with
my ultimatum, which was 4,500,000
ounces a month. Oh, if that is all,'
said Mr. Walker, of Massachusetts, who
was one of the conferees on the part of
the House, 'we might as well go. That
ends it. It is. all over.' ifr. Walker
started toward the door, but before he
had gone far I said to him: 'Perhaps
you Republicans, and you Mr. Walker,
will be interested in what I am going to
say. I am sure that Mr. Sherman will
be interested, and I guess all of you wilL
With that Mr. Walker came back, but
did not take ahair. I continued: 'Now
I want to tell you gentlemen that the
McKinley bill will be over in the Senate
in a very short time. If you reject our
ultimatum on the silver proposition the
silver men in the Senate will move the
free-coinage bill as an amendment of the
McKinley bill, and there are epougb.
Democrats who will vote with us to carry
it. Now, after that amendment is adopt
ed in the Senate all the Democrats will
vote against the McKinley bill because it
is a protective measure, and the Eastern
protectionists in the Senate will vote
against; it because it contains free silver.
The free silver Republicans in the Senate
will vote for it, and being protectionists
they will bo the only consistent men in
the Senate, being for protection and for
free coinage of silver.' When I got
through "they were all listening to me,
and before the conference broke up the
silver purchase law, known as the Sher
man act, was agreed to."
Senator Jones is known as one of the
best story-tellers in the Senate, but this
is one of the most interesting that he has
told his Senatorial friends for some time.
The present discussion of political plat
forms and what they are made for re
calls a colloquy that took place between
Gen. Averill and Congressman O'Neill,
of Missouri, during the naval rendezvous
at Hampton Roads last spring. The
Board of Governors of the National Sol
diers' Home was in session at Old Point,
and on a Sunday morning its members
were invited over to inspect the Home
at -Hampton and to review the several
thousand veterans living there. Gen.
Averill asked Mr. O'Neill to accompany
the party, and the Missourian refused
because, like a good Catholic, he had to
go to mass. Gen. Averill persisted, and
as the Congressman was obdurate re
marked: "Why, John, j ou stick as close to your
religious as you do to your political plat
form." "Well," responded O'Neill quickly,
"they are both intended to get in on."
The House has devoted the past week
to a discussion of the new rules presented
by the Committee on Rules. There has
been much kicking by Democrats as well
as Republicans, but except for the lively
debate between ex-Speaker Reed and
Speaker Crisp, the debate has been al
most without interest for the general
public. The chief change in the rules is
to constitute one hundred a quorum in a
committee of the whole.
At last the long agony is over and
Hon. F. M. Simmons has been appointed
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Eastern District of North Carolina. This
is the best bit of news I have written for
many days. I' hope that before this
month is out Chas. B. Aycock, Esq., will
be appointed U. S. District Attorney.
Mr. Cleveland is now back at the helm
and, unless all signs fail, we may look
for changes in many other offices. The
publicans have already held on too long
and it is high time that they give way to
better men.
Mr. Wm. F. Lewis, of North Carolina,
has been appointed assistant surgeon in
the army with the rank of first lieutenant.
Mr. Thos. M. Robertson, who repre
sented Randolph county in the last Legis
lature, has been appointed to a position
in the Interior Department at a salary of
$1,600 per year..
Mr. W. W. Long, a member of the
House from Warren county, has secured
a position in the Agricultural Depart
ment. Mr. W. W. Scott, editor of the Lenoir, -Topic,
who is chief of a division in the
Treasury Department, is at home on a
visit. He has made many friends here.
He is one of the best of Tar Heels, and is
succeeding finely here,
Forty-five clerks and chiefs in the
Land Office have gone out to Oklahoma
to aid in opening the strip on the 16th
inst. Among them are Geo. McCorkle,
of Newton, and A. C. Shaw, of Rocking
ham. m m m
R. B. Evans, of the Wilson Advance
and Capt. T. D. Smith, late of the Clin
ton Cawjasian typographical force, has
been appointed to places in the Govern
ment Printing office. Capt. Smith work
ed on the Caucasian during the campaign
but never flinched in his Democracy.
Among the visitors are: Miss Kirk

From the Southern Educator.
Citizens of Raleigh propose a ''Com

investigate the Harrell matter. The plan
suggested is radically defective. The

STORM ECHOES.
OVER SEVEN HUNDRED LIVES
LOST IN THE HURRICANE
LAST WEEK.
A Sad Condition ot A II airs on the Sooth
Carolina Sea Island Starvation
Threatening the Survivors The Storm
in North Carolina.
Monday, August 28th was a day never
to be forgotten along the South Atlantic
Coast, on account of the fearful hurricane
that raged for nearly 38 hours. It start
ed on the Southern coast of Florida and
moved rapidly northward through Geor
gia and North and South Carolina carry
ing death and destruction in its path. It
was most destructive along the coast.
Though reports were at first very much
exaggerated, the loss of life will probably
aggregate 800; scores of ships were wreck
ed; the destruction of property ana dam
age to the growing crops in beyond esti
mation. The hurricane center passed over
or very near Savannah, Augusta, Char
lotte, and Lynchburg.
In the belt of country between Char
leston and Savannah the storms wiped
up the homes as well as the growing crops
and left the people in a terrible state of
destitution. At Charleston six persons
were killed and two injured and others
are missing, ine streets were tuiea witn
debris. The loss to property is estimated
to be over one million dollars. Ihis
amount of cyclone insurance was held by
the people of Charleston, however, since
their experience of 1885, and will greatly
offset the damage.
Savannah sustained heavy damage m
the loss of life and paoperty. About for
ty lives were lost and ten million dollars
worth of property destroyed.' It was the
centre of the storm.
On the South Carolina sea islands
was the greatest loss of life and property
These islands, with Port Royal Island,
have a population of about 15,000, most
ly nesrroes, engaged in raising long staple
cotton and working phosphate fields.
Over seven hundred and nfty persons on
these islands are known to have been
drowned. Many lives were lost that will
never be reported, being covered with
sea weed or washed away. The crops are
destroyed. The is no work and star
vation is imminent. An address has been
prepared callingjipon the American peo
ple for help Sullivan's Island, near Char
leston, was submerged and a hotel des
troyed. The damage to crop3 and property
throughout South Carolina and Georgia
was very great. The storm also reached
into Virginia and Maryland. The rain
fall at Baltimore was heavy, wharves
were submerged, small boats washed
ashore, and many thousand dollars worth
of property destroyed.
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
In this State the storm was not so se
vere, although considerable damage was
done. At Kernersville the cyclone wreck
ed a hundred buildings and one woman
was killed. Factories, stores and dwell
ings were unroofed and some were blown
entirely away.
At Oxford a large brick warehouse,
was completely wrecked and one man in
jured.
At Wilmington the wind Diew lorty-
nine miles per hour. Several houses
were wrecked, wood and lumber washed
away and boats broken loose from their
moorings. k
At Soutbport the wind blew seventy-
eight miles per hour and the wharves
were badly torn up.
At Wrightsville the bath houses were
all washed away and a washout on the
railroad stopped passing taains.
At Washington over fa, 000 worth or
property was destroyed a portion of the
town inundated and much property wash
ed away.
A number of vessels were wrecked
along our coast. At Corn Cake inlet the
schooner, three bisters, or Philadelphia,
was wrecked, and captain and mate
drowned.
At Caswell beach two vessels were
wrecked, but the crews of both saved.
Schooner Gregory had two men washed
overboard and drowned. A large four
masted vessel was sighted far out at sea
off Southport on Tuesday. But one mast
was standing. A wrecked Darkentine
with a British ensign displayed on the
mizzen mast was sighted off Ocean View
on Tuesday. A feeble attempt to hoist a
sail proved that someone was on board,
but she could not he reached trom land.
At Morehead the storm was very severe
the breakers running a hundred feet
high. Several bath houses were destroy
ed. The masts were carried away from
two large schooners- riding at anchor.
The tin roof was blown on the Dan room
of the Atlantic hotel.
At Beaufort a Norwegian bark lost all
her spars and will probably prove a total
loss. Another lost her bowsprit, both
anchors, foremast and rudder and was
beached near Topsail sound.
In Mecklenburge county, Ue Observer
says, the damage to crops is immense.
Corn is blown down and warped in every
conceivable shape. The blades on the
corn look like whip-lashes. The fodder
will not be worth saving, lhe bottom
land crops are Almost demolished by wind
and flood. The cotton is badly damaged.
It looks as if logs had been rolled over
the fields. The cotton stalks have been
blown and twisted arounds until each
one has worked a hole in the ground two
inches in diameter. If cannot rise and
lies flat on the ground. If it should be
a wet fall the cotton crop will be utterly
ruined.
In Stokes county the corn and tobacco
crops are seriously damaged, fodder in
some places being literally stripped from
the stalk.
InCleveland county the swollen streams
injured the bottom corn and the wind
did damao-e to uDland corn. Several
houses have been injured by the leakage
of roofs. The brick house formerly used
by the Shelby cotton mill was damage
and the tin roof blown off. The Belmont
Mills were also damaged somewhat. At
Stanly Creek, in Gaston county, the new
cotton mill was also damaged by the roof
being blown off.
Reports from all ports of the country
say that the crops are seriously damaged
by the storm. Corn and tobacco are es
pecially damaged, corn being blown so
flat that a great part of it will rot and
the tobacco plants split to shreds by the
wind. The corn on the lowlands is badly
damaged. It is in the mud and is sour
ing. Over on the Catawba jiver, reports
the Charlotte News, the souring corn can
be smelled for a mile from the bottoms.
The storm is calculated to have been
between eight hundred and a thousand
miles wide. The entire loss by it is con
sidered to be not less than ten million
dollars. What the loss m North Caroli
na is cannot vet be estimated, the prin
o- - - - r
cipal injury being to crops and the full
extent of the damage being as yet un-
, known. '
THE STATE FAIR.
All tae Indication Point to it Success
this Fall A Large List of Exhibits
The Wild West Show and oth
er Attraction The Itest
Race on Record.
The State Fair last year was very large
ly attended and was exceedingly gratify
ing from a financial standoint and there
seems to be no doubt that it will this fall
be equally as big a success. Tho dates

and arrangements are nearly complete.
The management is doing everything
possible to give to those w ho gather oil

well worth the cost of admission.
The interest of the patrons of tho fair
will be looked after by a fine corps of un
iformed police, consisting of one nieinlH-r
of the regular police from various cities
and towns iji the State.
The interest in fine horse breeding in
the Sfate has been on a steady increase
for some years past, and the racing will
be the best lever seen in North Carolina.
The purses !re fairly liberal, and tho time
will be the fastest ever made. At the
special request of horse owners, 2:35 and
2:30 e asses have been arranged for, and
there are a number of horses that will
lower these classes by several seconds.
There will also be a free-for-all race for a
purse sf $1,000 open to the world. The
race purses aggregate $2,200.
SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS.
The special attractions this year will

Amon x them will be Jim Kid's famous
Wild 1 Vest Show. This combination in
cludes the most famous and daring cow

ride vicious Broncho horses with such
reckless abandon and absolute disregard
of personal safety as to make the spectator
hold his breath. It includes Jennie
Dodge), the most remarkable "lady rille
shot on earth. She rides a hrse at full
speed and breaks glass balls thrown in
the air from the back of another horse
running at the same time. There is a
band of Cheyenne Indians from Okla
homa Territory; a specimen of the Blank
et Indians of the West, who combine in
giving realistic scenes of life in the great
"Wild West."

Trifwii7igfon Matscwjvr, AinjunL VMh.
The Jfessenycr having received .several
requests for information as to rates and
routes to the World's Fair, sent a repre
sentative to the office of the General Pas
senger Agent of the Atlantie Cosat Line
with instructions to post himself thor
oughly on the matter. In answer to the
inquiry as to the route via which tickets
are sold, he said:
