THE TARIFF.
.Senator Pritehard ridiculed Senator
Simmons for saying in a recent inter-
: view: "So far as the South Is coneern-
ij fd. at least, the Democrats recognize
the silver question as temporarily eli
minated from national political affairs.
I do not say that ll is a dead issue, but
I do say that It must slumber for a few
years. In my opinion the big issue In
the next campaign will be the tariff."
In 'St! tho Democrats found the tariff
an embarrassing question and let it
"slumber awhile," and now they find
the sliver question the embarrassing
. proposition and are going to let it
"slumber for a few yeais." "Other
-sectinhs of the country have become
prosperous In consequence of our pro
tective tariff laws, and have accumu
lated their millions, and now thai they
are in the, full enjoyment of the bles
sings incident thereto, it would be in-
of the Democratic party meant what
they said two years ago there can be
no such thing as a race issue in the
present campaign.
The Democratic , administrator, in
tle State was attacked as being incom
petent, and the State Auditor quoted
as apologizing to officers of various co
operations in the State for the oppress
ive taxation laws. "I am informed,"
said Senator Pritehard, "that a num
ber of business men have left the Stat(
since the adoption of the present reve
nue act rather than comply with ihe
many vexatious provisions which
"Resolved, further. That it Is the
sense of this convention, that no nom
inations for associate justices be, made
at this time, but that the executive
committee, hereafter, is empowered to
take such action in relation to the same
as shall socm best."

have been .srlven, and he will send home
one regiment, ami the heinliiunrters !
and six troops of the- Mnth Cavalry
will be relieved from duly ami sail cn
the Logan for San Francisco. The rest, j
of tlie regiment will sail two weeks '
Inter. The stations for this regiment
. iu the United States have not vet been i
designated. It will require cunder- ''
able shifting of troops to provide for it. !
The organization of n Inrge number :
of batteries for field artillery was- an- j
thorized nt the last session of Con- j
gress, and ;.iese were assigned to qtmr. i
ters and stables formerly occupied by !
cavalry. As the accommodations foV ,'
these batteries have not been eon
s'rneted. it will be necessary to ( rowi) '
the cavalry regiment considerably to '
get tiieiu under shelter for the wiiifer.
:id it' may be lie.essnry to put seme j

recently done with the miiiv Seventh i

- Robbery In Oastonla, ,
Gastonia, Special. Some time during
the early hours of Monday morning a
bold thief took from Mr. F. M. Fajs
soux's bed-room property valued at
$130, including a $100 gold watch, n
prize awarded to him by the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, $25 In money
and a $0.60 pair of pants. The watch
and money were In the pants, which
hung at the foot of Mr. Fayssoux'g
bed and scarcely more than an arms
length from the window. The thief
probably did not enter the room but
reached in with a stick or pole and
"fished" them out. An effort to prorure
bloodhounds front Yorkllle was futile,
and thus far th culprit haa succeeded
In baffling: tha poltce, notwithstanding
their strenuou tfiorta to apprehend
him.
