The national hinks of this city are nTeiing so much money at present from country banks that they are in a quandary as to its dis position. It was onlv a few weeks ago that cash of all kinds wan at a premium; now tbe ca.se Is exactly the reverse. One result of this condition is the movement of some of the national banks to retire the extra circulation they took during the stringency. The Fourth National Bank of this city has withdrawn -V0.000 of government bonds deposited to secure circulation, surrendering the equivalent in its own note. Several other (tanks contemplate the same action. So mnch gold coin has come into active circula tion s.nce the money stringency set in that a greater part of tbe daily seltle mats of clearing house balances are in gTd. This necessitate the carrying around from one bank to another of be tween two and three millions in gold daily. The trouble and expense as well as the risk of loss by this method has brought on the old Question of one of thc "1 banks acting as a storage vault for all 1 this gold and the settlements made in gold certificates issued by the clearing bouse. This plan has been adopted be fore and it is probable that it will be again. It is expected that the matter will be settled in a day or two. Tbe HMorr of the Hank Note Tax. AVir 1'ork H'orhi.

I had never heard him speak lfore ami wa-s anxious to hear him. He shakes his head and emphasizes very little, and enunciates plainly. He spoke as follows: While I accept with much satisfac tion the part aasigued to me on this oc casion, l cannot escape tbe sober reflec tions which these ceremonies suggest. Thonewho suppose that we are simply engain-u in commemorating the beinn- ning of a magnificent structure devoted to important public uses have overlooked the mot useful and improving lesson of thc hour. "We do, indeed celebrate the laying of a corner-stone from which has sprung the splendid edifice whose grand propor tions arouse the pride of every American citizen; but oar celcbratiou is chiefly valuable and significant because this edifice was designed and planned by great and gmd men, as a place where the principles of a free representative government would be develojied in patrio lie legislation for the benefit of a free eople. If representatives who here as semble to make laws for their fellow countrymen forgt the duty of broad and disinterested patriotism, and legislate in prejudice and passion or in behalf of sec tional and selfish interests, tbe time w hen the corner-stone of our capitol was laid, and the circumstances surrounding it. win not be worth commemorating. "The sentiment and tbe traditions connected with this structure and its u.-h-s belong to all the people of the land.

Hon. Adlai Stevenson, Vice-President, has a better voice for out-door speaking! than the President and caught tho crowd I better than any other speaker. Thesub- ject matter of his speech was good and delivery excellent. I did not hear the speech of Speaker CrLp or Justice Brown. The set oration was delivered by Mr. Wm. Wirt Henry, of Virginia, thegrand- son of Patrick Henry. He himself looks like a patriarch and talks like one. His peech was written and he read it in a tone so low that few could hear him. I am sure if Patrick Heury had read his famous "Give me liberty or give me death!" from manuscript, the ieople would have chosen death. Mr. Cleveland :ke without manuscript or note and spoke easily Mr. Stevenson used man uscript, but was not hampered by it, as is so often the case. The North Carolina colony is increas ing here and tbe new men add much to the pleasure of the other Tar Heels who are here. The two latest arrivals are Mr. Thos. M. Robertson, of Randolph, who holds an important position in the Cen- r- 1 At sus liurcau, and .Mr. u. t Leacn, ot Raleigh, w ho is clerk to the Committee on claims, of which Mr. Bunn is chair ,,,, Thes- are the kind of men who V1 . . . . . . i"" lurJ puii me wagrjn nuu uu iut? norK uuti ejkrrM eletinn.

Mr. Robertson is not a whit behind him in faithful par ty work, and there is not a man in Ran dolph who does not rejoice in his success. The people always applaud such appoint ments. It is only when those who do nothing for the party get positions that the people kick. And when workers are overlooked for dress parade men, they ought to kick. I .... i Tne Rtteech of Senator Daniel, of Vir-1 by many to be the ablest yet made in the famous discussion in the Senate. It was able, on a high plane, and exhaustive, I and has greatly added to the reputation I of Virginia's able Senator. Senator Lindsey. of Kentucky, made a strong and able speech in favor of the Voorheea bill on Friday. It was his first act speech since he took his seat as Mr. Carlisle's successor. He argued that the repeal of the bill left unimpaired the bill of 1890 so far as it affected the coinage of silver in the future. It was strange, he said, to hear Senators assert that the repeal of the Sherman act would be to demonetize sil ver and breAk down the last hope of those w ho hold to the popular idea of bi-metal-lism. - Stranger still was the chum, of Democratic Senators that the repeal bill was undemocratic and in opposition to the Chicago Democratic platform. The per tinent question, "If we are not to coin silver why purchase it f " had been asked in July, 1890, when the report of the nfm.nwi u the Rhermn hill. . T v. j i was uuuer uiscussion. i nau not oeeu an8Wprpd. and it roiiM not Ha AnAwemd - iQ mcot&ztxch with in accordance with the Democratic a tneory Qf tne theory of the powers and drties of the FederaLgovemment.

Cnder it silver was held as a commodity, not to le coined except to a very limited extent. He quoted against the position now held by Senators Vance and Vest against tho repeal bill, the arguments made by them in 1890 against the Sherman I act, and desires to know why those argu ments are not as good now as they were then. If the Sherman act was another step in the demonetization of silver in 1890 it was not clear to him (Lindsay) why its repeal should amount now to the destruction of silver. He cited Mr. Vest in saying that the passage of the Sher- man act would be "an absolute stoppage of the standard silver dollar," to which assertion Senator Jones, of Nevada, had added, "That is all they want." And yet these Senators were now opposing the repeal of that act. Another quotation from Vest was this: "There is no five coinage about thU bill. It is the demonetization of silver, abso lute and unqualified.' Lindsay also quoted largely from a speech of Morgan j against the conference report of 1890, in which Morgan declared that it was more demonetizing than the act of 1873. He asked if the condition of things which Morgan had described should be continued and whether Congress should take tbe necessary step in the restoration oeen a party 10 me conspiracy 01 me Xew 1 ork bankers to bring about a panic I jn rirlcr to eomnel A reneal of the Sher- ,. man law.

Withal he has al- wa vs. evert when under a Remiblican ad- ministration, been a thorough-going Democrat one of the "rale old sort." Judge Walter Clark is spending some d.ys here on his return from Madison, Wis., where he went to examine the Draper collection. He says there is quite a mass of it and that it was pleasant to go through jt. He also spent a few days in New York where he got some inter- estmg and valuable matter for his forth- coming volume. He is examining some old papers here and will have copie? made. The State is fortunate In having so well equipped and public-spirited a citizen to undertake this important work. The people owe him a debt of gratitude m Mr. E. G. Wise has been appointed as sistant lighthouse keeper at Neuse light house upon the recommendation of Mr. Branch. Mr. Z. W. Whitehead, editor of the Fayetteville Gazette, has been appointed to a position as proof-reader in the Gov ernment Printing office. Capt. W. J. Rogers, of Northampton, recently appointed chairman of tbe Town Site Boafd at-Emid, Oklahoma, spent Friday in Washington on the way to his new field of duty. His appointment is tne recognition oi tne Desi element in iue Democratic party. He is not only one of the truest of men but also one of the best of Democrats they are generally synonymous. Mr. Adolphus Wells, of Duplin county, has been appointed to an $840 position in tho Interior Department upon the re commendation of Mr. Grady. He will be assigned to the Geological survey. It is reported that Mr. Grady has set-1 tied the controversy over the Jonesboro I postoffice by recommending Mr. Reddin Bryan as a compromise candidate. , i The Honse has been at work for a week trv!nr in trot nn 1 Kill in win I out every provision looking to Federal supervision of State elections. Some Democrats wanted to postpone the con eideration of this important question un-1 til all financial legislation ia ont of the I way. Others wanted immediate consid-1 eration and tried to get it. Of course the Republicans opposed any action, There were so many member absent from the city that the Republicans were I able to filibuster and prevent any report from the committee. This thing of absenteeism in Congress has grown to be a great evil and cannot be too strongly condemned. There ought to be atrule that absence from duty meant loss ot pay. This would keep a full House here for the transaction of the public business. The bill to repeal all the provisions of the Federal election law will pass, but it may not pass until the regular session. It is immaterial whether it passes now or later. I believe in treating such laws yon wonld a snake "kill him wherever you find him." ' Hon. F. A. .Woodards wife and son Graham, are spending the fall and win ter here wit h Mr. Woodard. Graham is at school here. Mr. Peter M. Wilson, who was here va I ainrv1av.'.i3ari1 f tovui TaaTIiTa tA Tittiria ance at the Fair is growing every day, j ana that the riorth Carolina exhioit at- I tracts much attention. He says that up- wards of 2,000 North Carolinians have I attended the Fair. There are many opinions as to when thc Senate will vote. Some of the Sena tors who favor unconditional repeal pre dict that a 1. It does vote will be taken by October not look like it will come so early, but it will come in October unless all signs fail. There is a majority of be tween 23 and 28 for the bill when it comes to a vote. On Tuesday, Senator Voorhees, chairman of the Finance com mittee, gave a merited rebuke to the New York bankers who are criticising him for not securing an earlier vote. He char acterized their ignorance, stupidity and meanness in fitting terms. Everybody knows that Mr. Voorhees has been doing all that he can to secure an early vote and he made a strong plea yesterday for fixiug a time when the vote shall be taken. Senator Dubois replied saying that the anti-repealers would never sur render, but would fight repeal to the last ditch and die in the trenches. The Wes tern Senators will filibuster as long as they can. The Southern Democratic anti repealers will not filibuster. They win make their speeches, and vote against the repeal, but they will stop there. It hardly seems possible that crat ought to vote tor a cloture in the Senate. It is better far that this or any I Kill ohnnU foil Von ha flanrrli . ..... . 3?r6. Qf a minority should forever Betaken I away from them. Cloture is impossible.

They will not do this and therefore a vote will be reached next month. It is safe to say the proposition for a cloture submitted by a Republican Senator, will not become a law. Every Democrat will remember that it was this weapon that was held tn terrorem over the Republicans when they threatened to pass the Force bill, that saved ' us from the horrors of that legislation. ... .... . . ineieaumg unuuiuaic .m ambwuii LHStxici Attorney in me riastern uisinct are Sol.

Senator Ransom will not make any suggestion in regard to the place, and will leave Mr. Aycock free to choose his assistant without suggestion from him. . When an office becomes" vacant here, it does not remain vacant long. It is re ported that an" applicant was out on the beach w here a number of department clerks were bathing. He saw one of them go under, once, twice, three times and when certain that he was dead the applicant rushed to the department and made application for the place. Wrhat was his surprise to find that some one had got in ahead of him. The success ful man had started after the office as soon as he saw the clerk go under the first time. Mr. Fulton Griffin, of Hendersonville, N. C, was killed in Chicago a few days . . w ail ago by a passing train, iieneiaapo- in the Second Auditor's office, had gradnated in the law school here, and was a vonng man of much promise. He was attending the World's Fair. "North Carolina" said Mr. Peter Wil son to me "fared pretty well in the selec tion of judges at the World's Fair. Dr. Capehart was on Fish and Fisheries; Wm gimpson on Chemicals; Gov. Holt on Manufactures; J. F. Jordan on New To bacco; and Mr. P. M. Wilson on Fine Cotton Goods." There seems no longer any doubt that Senator Vance will fight the confirmation cf Mr. Eope Elias as Internal Revenue Collector. This fact is greatly to be de- plored.

ToLC"heratnT"W of Jewish DarMethod of Ob- Ij Qthers tehim servance. Wednesday the Jewish Church observ ed the Day of Atonement, which is ob served once every year, as commanded by the God of Moses during the days of the children of Israel. S?itember 10 in- augurated the-5654th year since the creation ot the world, aceordmg to the Mosaic laws, and was rigidly observed as ixew i ears uay ov iue neurews. me tenth day of the new year is the Day of Atonement, and is kept according to the commands of the Almighty, as recorded in Leviticus, sixteenth chapter, twenty ninth to thirty-hret verses, inclusive, which read as follows: "And this be astatute forever unto you that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country or astranger that sojourneth among you. "For on that day shall the priest make an atonement tor you, tocleaseyou, that ye may be clean from all yonrsins before the Lord. "It shall be a Sabbath of rest unto you, a11 afflict y0Ur sm,ls b' a 8tatut In the olden times the day of atone ment was observed by the killing of a lamb, and other ceremonies, some of which have been abandoned in the ob servation of the feast in these lat ter days. In both the orthodox and reformed He brew churches, however, the day is cele brated with a majority of the rites laid down in the ancient law. It is regarded oa a loir T TaolTir npavai ann tuim. as a day or tasting, prayer, and peni tenee, and is carried out literally on those lines. It is the belief of the Hebrews that a person may seek and attain for giveness for his sins by contemplating his past conduct, meditating on his spiritual condition, forgiving his enemies and forming good resolutions.

NEW ASSOCIATE JUSTICE. The President Appoints V. B. Horn- blower to the Supreme Court J. J. VanAlen Appointed Minister to Italy. Washington, Sept. 19. The President to-day nominated Wm. H. Hornblower, of New York, to the Associate Justice of the Supreme court of the United States, vice Justice Blatchford, deceased, and James J. VanAlen, of Rhode Island, to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plen Npotentiary to Italy Judge Hornblower is a prominent and widely known .New lork lawyer who has for many years had a very large practice before the Federal Supreme court. Senator McPherson, who knows him personally; says he is a man of strong mind and of great judicial attain ments, witn a natural apiituue ior con stitutional subjects. He comes of a fam ily of jurists, his father having been the late Chief Justice of New Jersey, while ttf AAlsl AAC IU6 Kr-'1- J" I xa nwnnrlfafKuw woo a laahriA nranf if inn s a leading practition- er at the bars of hisdav.

He is a trustee of the New York Life Insurance company, it is evident that the appointment of Mr. Hornblower will not be received with pleasure by all the politicians of New York. Senator Hill this afternoon de clined to discuss the nominee, but simply said that the Democrats of aew lork would be disappointed. "The Democrats of New York," said the Senator, "pre ferred the nomination of Judge Rufus W. Peckham of the present court of appeals. " No one will say, however, that so far as the qualifications of Mr. Hornblower are concerned that it is not a strong appoint ment. Mr. VanAlen is one of the connections of the New York Astors, being a son-in- law of Wm. B. Astor and possessor of great wraith by inheritance. Plausible Theories. Richmond Dispatch. "There must be a vacancy before a vacancy can be filled." That seems to be a simple and -true proposition. And yet before we take it as it appears on its first face, we ought to consider whether the word "vacancy" has or has not more than one meaning. The applicant for registration must be a voter before he can register as a voter. This too, would seem to be a simple and true proposition, and one which wonld prevent all minors from registering as voters. But such is not the law nor the custom in Virginia. Here a young man who will become of age before election day may register as a voter whilst yet he is a minor. The Constitution of the United States provides that no person shall be a mem ber of the National House of Represen tatives who is not twenty-five years old. Yet Mr. Clay was elected to that body before he became twenty-five years old, and was allowed to take his seat, he hav ing become of the required age before he asked to be seated. So it is not true that a man must be twenty-five years old be fore he can be elected to the position.

The soldiers soon recovered, however, and with fixed bayonets cleared the train and compelled everybody to show his or her certificate before eutcting.

Scores ot people were injured, lhe struggle kept up till the train was filled FOUR 8OONEKS FATALLY SHOT BY SOLDIERS. Gurthrie, Oklahoma, Sept. 16. In formation received here by the Courier tells of four "sooners". being shot and fatally wounded last night by soldiers. The men killed had received their certi ficates and gone into the strip to locute their claims. Several soldiers came Uon the "sooners" and called upon them to halt, which they refused to do, where upon the soldiers tired on them. THE CHEROKEE STRIP OPENED. Arkansas City, Kan., Sept. 16. One hundred thousand people settled uion the Cherokee strip to-day. At noon the signal was given announcing the passing of the titi0 of ian(i fnora the United States gov- 1 . . . 1 i 1 i ernment to the boomers, and a race, such as was never witnessed before and will probably never be seen again was legun. Some died or over-exertion, some were killed by falling in the race and others I received broken, limbs. To-night, the strip which twelve hours ago was wholly j deserted, is a populous country. J?ourof the new towns have popula tions estimated at 5,000 each. Others boast populations ranging from 1,000 to 3,000. Every desirable claim has at least one claimant, and may have two or four. they suffer terribly. A Guthrie, O. T., special says: Thou sands of people arc still arriving daily to enter the Cherokee strip, and the situa tion is serious all along the line. The temperature is 102 in the shade, and there are hot winds, clouds of dust and a scarcity of water. Tho prospect of spending two days and a night in line has disgusted many and fully 500 persons have boarded the trains and left for their homes. The whole eastern half of the strip was on fire last night and hundreds of thou sands of tons of hay were consumed. With all the grass burned off the land and no water in the streams the set tlers will suffer terribly. The conductors of Pullman cars on the Rock Island trains report that in passing through the Cherokee strip the cars were attacked and the thirsty homesteaders robbed the cars of all the ice and water. The men are frenzied with thirst and the train crews bear marks of rough treat1 ment. HAS CARNEGIE CHANGED FRONT Significant Utterances of the Iron King- on the Tariff Question.

Any economical advantages the country may derive from protection are dearly bought it one class is set against the other." He also said: "lhe Mckinley bill re duced the duties upon the things in which I am interested 2 to 30 per cent. It abolished the sugar duty. If the tariff could be taken out of the domain of par ty politics and made a business question, large reductions could easily be made, and in a manner that would conform to President Cleveland's letter. No Amer ican industry should be injured." These statements are so explicit that they drew attention among Democrats as well as Republicans to-day. It is now obvious that Carnegie will neither appear before the committee in defense of the tariff nor permit one of his firm to do so.

I break against the whites was a triple lynching Saturday night, which was con ducted so quietly that the account of the affair published this morning whs a sur prise to the community. Tho victims of tho vengeanco of the mob were three neero brothers named Julian, and the crime which they ex piated in so summary a manner was the shielding of a fourth brother.

Tho negro made for the swamps, and being perfectly familiar with them was soon in safe hiding. Posse -were imme diately organized; and all Sattirdny th surrounding country was scoured, but the searching was fruitless o far an the real criminal was concerned. The moth er, two brother and two sister of Julian were ai . and ULun to the little jail. Anoihei Uuitr was arriiel later in the day in the same neighbor hood and taken to tho satno jail. What caused the arrest of the mother and two sisters was that on a visit to the house the women were found wrapping up some clothing and a loaf of bread. This aroused tho suspicion that tho arti cles were to be conveyed to the fugitive. The brothers were discovered going over the Black Ridge and had a shirt bundled up as if it were intended for Julian. This naturally aroused suspicion against them. Tho two brothers were caught coining out uf tho swamps, ami as they tersitctitly I . 1 . refused to state whence they had come. they, too, foil under the ban of doubt; Hcnco all the arrests. Toward nightfall the men who had been out man hunting all day, and hav ing met with no success, determined to do something to compel the relatives of the fugitive to disclose his whereabouts. About 11 o'clock about twenty-five0 men. some armed with rifles '.and shot- guns, came up to tho jail and IighUd a lantern. They unlocked fho door and then held a conference. Soma insisted that only two of tho brothers, "Valsin" and "Bakile," should be taken out and strung up. This was finally agreed to, and several of the men went into tho jail and brought out the two doomed negroes. Tho lynching was conducted very quietly and not a shot was fired during the entire proceedings. In tho moan time the real murderer whs at lils-rtv. Judge Estopinal once saved the lire of Julian. During tho search for Julian on Saturday, ono branch of the jmikao visi ted tho house of a negro family in tho neighborhood of Camp Parapet and lad ing to find the object of their search tried to induce John Willis, a young negro, to disclose tiro whereuloutH of Julian. He refuwd to do mi or could not do so and was kicked to death by tho gang- SHOT TO DEATH IN JAIL. Five Negroes Lynched In Alabama, One In Virginia. Five negroes, ono of them a woman, were shot to death on Thursday night, Septemler 14, by a mob of masked men at Carrollton, Ala. Some tim during tho present week the mill and ginhouso of J. E. Wood was burned. Aliout a week ago the negroes were arrested and eonfim-d in tho Carrollton jail. Tho preliminary in vestigation was in progress, but had not beenconcluded. On Thursday night the sheriff was callwl on. in his room in the . -- -- J - jail building, and was told that parties had a prisoner whom they had arrested and wanted to 'turn over to him. The sheriff camo down from his room and, unlocking the jail door, found himself in the hands of a disguisM mob, who de-. manded of him the keys tothoccll where the prisoners were confined. This request was urged utsm tho sheriff by glistening barrels of a hundred Winchesters. After tho officer was over powered tho mob quickly made their way to tho grated cells of the prisoners, and through the iron hars tho barrels of the Winchesters were placed and from every muzzle came a dozen balls. In a second five human bodies lay in blood, which ran in streams across the floor and dyed the walls and ceilings of the cell. The mob then quietly dispersed. . On the same night Jesse Mitchell, col ored, was lynched at ' Amelia Court House. He had been convicted twice of assault upon a white child tvrelvo years of age two years ago, but had got ton new trials on technicalities. The third trial was to have taken place Friday. A mob of twenty-five people broke ottcn the jail after midnight and took Mitchell out and swung him to a tree and quietly dis persed. President Polk's Remains Removed. Nashville. Tenn.. Sept. 19.
