Mri President, cannot possibly pass the S Senate. 1 have not come to the White House to solicit patronage, to curry favor or to put you In a confident and happy frame ot mind by misrepresenting the facts. I do not care what other Democratic Senatois may tellyou, nor do I quea tioD that they sincerely believe what thy have reported to yon. But I claim to know with cerUluty that it Is Impossible to repeal the silver purcha ing clause of the Sherman act without accompanying that action! by some provision which shall recognize silver as money.". I ' 1 his, if not In the exact words, is the accurate substance of the declare, tion with which Senator Pugh of Ala bama frankly and with even more em phasis than can well be i printed In formed the President this week of his opinion as to the situation of I the Ke peal bill in the Senate. Mr. Cleveland did not conceal his surprise, while at the same time he thanked; Senator, Pugh, for whom . he has a cordial res pect, tor his candor. He aiked Mr. Pugh to explaid the faith that was In him, an I Mr. Pugh continued! "Mr. President, there are thlrty-slx Senators who are so absolutely opposed to the demonetization of (diver that while, if a vote were reached,' a few of them might possibly vote for uncondi tional repeal, allot tnem will do every thing in their power to prevent the reaching of that vote unless some con cession to silver Is granted. Moreover there are eight additional Senators who are correctly counted as In fvor of re peal whose votes can be deneoded up on for some such oompromiae as that of the substitute measure proposed by Mr Faulkner of West Virginia." senator i'ugn continued ; to talk in this strain with Mr. Cleveland for some time. He left the White House con vinced that he had seriously impressed the President with the strength of the opposition to unconditional repeal, and with Its power to continue the debate indefinitely nnlevs some concession to the 41ver men was made. ' TOO EARLY FOR 8UBREN0EJV ; It is the report ot this inter-view be tween Mr. Pugh and . Mc Cleveland which gave rise to the rumors which prevailed during the last few days ot this week, and which found some be lievers, especially among the- silver Senators, where tho wish was father .to the thought might have shown those credulous of this idea that It must be necessarily erroneous. The Admtats. tration after the declarations it has made, could mot possibly afford to sar render at so early a stage ef the battle. Whatever mignt be brought about a month :hence could not bo expected to be granted now. Moreover for the "IZf.ro BACH UPB BOMB ALL." uts pm t Administration to surrender now, hav 4 65 pm . ng clear majority of the Seriate at W am I its control, would be to place!

The compromise upon Which the friends of silver have been basing their hope of Mr Cleveland's yielding is known as the purchase and coinlug of $3,000,000 ot silyer permonth until the total amount purchased and issued has reached, with what has already been purchased, 800,00 J,000, To reach this limit at tne rate proposed would re quire between Ave and six tears. The friends of this proposal claim for it that it removes the threat contained io the Sherman act of the perpetual pur chase ot the entire product ot domes tie silver mines aside from what is used in the arts, and places a limit to the purthase only exceeding by about 100,000,000 the amount of silver which France successfully bought and lojec ted In the circulation ot that republic; Mr. Faulkner also Imitates1- the French treatment of the problem by proposing that there shall be sn0 , notes issued against the sliver ot slower denomina tion than 10, the lowest Freacn surer note being 800 francs, while the small est Bank of England note Issued against gold is 5, There Is no doubt that tnu proposition has many inenas. but the Administration Is ; not yet among them. 1 ' sun anotner proposition, i wnicn it not received the the attention it merits Is that of Senator Morgan, which, alter his able speech of Wednesday,' Has De con to Impress Itself as offering a pos sible avenue of escape from the present deadlock in the Senate, Mil. Morgan's resolution providt s for a joint special Committee on Finauce, to be composed of seven members of each branch ot Congress representing, as Mr. Morgan facetiously puts it, tne suver uemo erats, the silver Republicans, aad the Populists. The creation ot such a com inittee expressly charged with forming a nnanoial scheme which shall include the recognition of silver and assure the maintenance of bimetallism would make possible. Mr. Morgan claim, the repeal of the sliver purchasing act. The assurance however, that fliis'pro- posed committee would; aoaIly per torm Its work, ana twat we, Aom'sira- tion would acquiesce In Its precommen dations would need to be not silver plated butironc ad to induce the friends ot silvsr to consent to present repeal. THK CLEVELAND POLICY. But while It is well to understand the proposed substitutes and compio mlses It Is inportaut to realUe thor oughly that the Administration is still determined to .accept iau oarapromWe whatever, but inslat apon uncooditlon aliepeal. . The obstlnaU and detsraa ed attitude is not onlj, characteristic of President Cleveland, bm Is based upon a oooOdenoe which, too Admits, traxion feehvdespite (he ; utterance. t4 Mr.Pngh and other lr lends ol silver, that It is wlthua the power qt the maj iv ity, of the beaaxe, .alter -debate baa mM proceeded for a reasonable time, to fix a date for, a vote. . Such i an action would, if not In form or name, at lvast in fact, be equivalent to cloture. ; It would net be cloture in name, because it would be an action by the majority affecting thl- measure alone and would not be embodied in the rales ef the Senate. It ; would, nevertheless, amount cbviouly to a precedent by which the minor.ty would hereafter be deprived of that rghtot unlimited de bate which they have exercised to a century, -1 The x&th of September has been fix ed Dpon In 'Administration circles as the date at which debate may . be reas onably end by a motion to proceed to a vote. The success of such a parliam entary conp necessarily depends upon the attitude of the president of the Senate, Vice-President Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson might, refaie to entertain sneh a motion as not in order under the rules and as without precedent, except when done by unanimoui con sent. This solution -of the deadlock resW, therefore, in thens'"' of the Vice President. ' - . The Administration has this tar had no reason to suppose that the Vice President is not in accord with the President. . Nevertheless, Mr. Cleve land and Secretary Carlisle actually do not know what position the Vice President would take should such a test come, as apparently it must. This may seem surprising to many readers, but it must be remembered that the oBices of President and Vice-President are In practice and in function en tirely independent and distinct. The Vice-President has nothing whatever to do with the president, the distribu tion which forms so large a part ot the President responsibilities. There is nothing ever to call him to the White Houte, except some ceremony of state. As the presiding officer of the United Senate, the Vice President' official duties bind him to ttin legislative rather than to the Executive branch of the government. It is, thereto! e, not strange that the Adminl-tration is as yet in absolute ignorance of bow far it can depend upon the presiding offl jer of the Senate for aid in forcing a vote. SILVER SENATORS DETERMINED! One evidence of the determination of the silver sliver Seuatiors to continue the debate indefinitely is found in the semi-serious reply made by Senator Jones of Neveda to Senator Lodge of ils8achjett8, M. Lodge, in an off hand way, asked, Mr. Jones, in conver sation yesterday, "When are you going to make your speech agaiast the Re peal bill?". 'I think November 20 will be a good date for my speech?" replied the Senator from Nevada, with a twinkle in bis eye. The hope of the Administration now centers rather npon Senator Gorman than upon Senator Voorhees, who, as chairman of of the Finance Committee has the Repeal bill nominally in charge It is Mr. Gorman's plan to harmonize, j to placate and to suppress, so far as ' pessiblr, public o utbreaks of the hitter oess which prevails between the Demo cratic factions. Mr. Gorman Is prac tically sitting upon a volcano, and all of the great tact he possesses is daily taxed to its utmost. Ths leader of the 5 liver Democrats is Senator Cockrell of lissouri, with Senator Harris of Ten nessee, the best parliamentarian in the Senate, as hia adviser. Mr, Gockrell'ls a man ot Impulse, given to violent, laht guage emphasised by gesticulations, sometimes so acrobatic as to be gro tesque. This fact has oniy added to Mr. Gorman's task. The leader of the free silver Republican is Mr. Teller of Colorado, who also has a gift of utter, lag exasperating sentences in avoiee which is raspiBgly monotonous in its resemblance to the singsong style of a camp meeting exborter. Mr. Teller, by the way, came over to the Demo cratic side of the chamber the other day to consult with Mr. Cockrell about MHibusterlng.t We don't need to till' ibuster," said Mr. Cockrell to Mr. Tel ler, "for we have speeches enough go hand to occupy the $eqa,t0 until the regular sesslqn,." TARIFF MIXED IN IT. Another complication ot great signi flcance which Is becoming manifest is the attitude of the silver men toward the tariff. This works in two ways on two sides ot the chamber. Mr. Wolcott in his speech in behalf of silyer served notice upon ls Republican colleagues that they could not expect the votes of the silver Senators to be oast in defense of protection if they were now to vote to condemn stiver to demonetization. This attitude of Mr. Wolcott was fur ther developed when be offered a reso lution the other day calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for informa tion as to the amount of bounty paid upon Maple sugar. Mr. Galliner ob jected. Mr. Wolcott's purpose was ob viouriy to threaten an attack upon tnu peculiraly New England producer- Oa the Democratic side the silver Sena tors are almost equally pugnacious In their attitude toward the plan of the Administration; as yet' undeveloped, for the revision of the tariff upon a rev enue bafis. They threaten to hamper the passage of whatever tariff bill may epme from the House unless aome eon cession JU made to their dem inds on behalf of s lver- ' E. p. HOWLASD. CONFIDENCE RE TURNING.

Druukennees and a craving' for t liquor : banished by a dose of dimmom w , 1 . . Liver Regulator, ABRAtt LINCOLN'S ANCESTRY. Correspondence Oharlette Observer. The Mlo wing editorial in the New York World f the 3rd Inst., not only attracted any attention, but suggested someJiUtorical facta which involve our State.. .The article Is as follows: When a monument to Abraham Lincoln has , been erected in Edin burgh; it is worth while for Ameri cans, ibo have the time, to stop and thtokt It means a good deal. This, la the first American from the West who has been thus recognized across the Atlantic. Of course Abra ham Lincoln needs no such recognition to round out his fame. He has gone into history and into immorality for what he was. Northing can take from him what he was or add to it. V 'But this Edinburgh monument Is a monument to the new Democracy. George Washington, the ' stately and pjmhed irentlema.n, to whom all vol- gaiity was shocking, thought himsellaj iicmocrac -i nomas Jeuerson, tcrjojar and statesman, the greatest-political thinker of bis age, felt himself a Dem ocrat through his sympathies with the common people, from whose ignorance and prejudices his education and men tal habits had removed him far. "Bit this man who now stands in bronjj lo the capital of the Bruce's kingdom was a Democrat if. there ever was one. lie came from the vulgarest of the vulgar .He was so far from having claims to long descent that he was never certain of his own paternity. He had habits that illustrated the low traits of the practical politician. He had upon somn subjects the coarseness of mind that belongs to those who have been bred in the lowest strata of so ciety, i t'In' spitet all, his sympathies with the -on washed' and ignorant masses, frem whom be sprang, gave him a tre mendous power, and, though he some times abused it with toe most lamenta ble consequences, he so 'used it on the whole that be advanced the welfare of the human race in spice of the miseries which the struggle over slavery brought on America. "The time Is coming in England and in America when Lincoln will be a greater power than he was in bis life time. Wherever his statue stand. therestands a menance to aristocratic tyranny. Wherever bis life and work are nuderstood, .there the people are ot not hopeless . under oppression. Wnerever a man arises who like him Incarnates the strength of the great, dumb masses, there injustice is once more doomed to a mtghty overthrow." With the comparison between Wash ington, Jefferson and Lincoln, I have nothing to door say. But the state ment "he was never certain of his awn paternity,'' invites this article, because North Carolina is concerned; and as I suggest .by the head-notes, history? is history, no less In the -life of a man. than the life ef a nation with a big N. While North Carolina has furnished, by way of paternity several Presidents, the paternity of only one , can, or . is claimed to be. straight. . Andrew Jickson Was "born' ia',fbe territoryi according; to blstory, now known as Union county. Polk was barn, I think, in Wake. Andrew Johnston was, admittedly, born In Wake. . - . Abraham Lincoln was born In Ken tucky, Vit begotten in Jackson county, North Carolina. Years ago Abram Enloe, with his family, left Lincoln county aad settled in Jackson county, this State. Among his household was a young girl named Nancy Hanks. During the year Miss Uanks showed signs of, not known, then to be a coming President, but what is greater, a cooling soverign or sovcreiguess, as the case may have been. . It turned out to be both a sov erign and a President, A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Enloe rlived In Kentucky. . This particular summer she visited her parents in Jackson county. While there she saw, not only "coming events," but the aotual situation. Miss Hanks had told Mrs. Enloe that Mr. Abram Enloe was the father, progenitor, begetter,- or whatever he may or might be called, of his forthcoming offspring. Times were a little serious in that family, of course. The good daughter, to relieve matters at home, took Miss Hanks with her to her Kentucky home, and, in the coarse of time, as just such thiugs will happen, a boy was boru who tvas named abram, not Abraham, This name "Abram" was all the name he bad for awhile, because he neither had "father cr mother, M or words to that effect, until a sensible man named Lincoln came along, took a fancy to Miss Hanks, and ber boy Abram, and mairied her. The boy, from this mar riage, became Abram Lincoln. I need not say the intrinsic Demon crat also became President of the United States. But he became tsa man, for a'that, and aHhaW." one whose deeds can be revered, by Ameri cans, and even Scotchmen. But it is not a striking coincidence that the parents of Abram should have removed from Lincoln county to Jack son, county and the boy begotten in Jackson, become what may be called the foster-son of a Lincoln and succeed and be worthy to succeed a Jackson? Hon. A- T. Davidson, ot Asheville, and others, can verify all I here say. Has not North! Carolina contributed to history? Don't ask me whether it is "battard - history it Is history, and great history at that. INOiVm CAROLINA. We could wish that our correspon- who writes of the ancestry of Abraham Lincoln had elaborated his story a lit tie more and veiled it a little more. It is not a new story, of courte, bnt it hi not been often told, and it is one of very great interest. We hope that others familiar with It will enlarge upon it in the colums of the Observer For our own part since, as the New xotk world says, nr. unoom was never quite ocrtaVaol hiaowu paternity we hope the theory of "Worth Cam Una" can he established. We shout! like to have tt proved that the eountir and history are Indebted to the OA d North State for Lincoln, for be vraa u great man, and. except in. a rellgiou ene, a good man. There never a a day from 'CI to G5 when, so far a Mr. Lincoln Was concerned, peao: could not have bee u re-established on terms fair aud honorable to the South. soutLorn people are learning to U him j istice autl after awhile they wiP share all of the North's admiration of him, and ef Hoirace Greeley, the latter of whom was not only one of the ablest men the nation ever produced and on ot the best friends tbe South eyer bad. but one of the finest characterain his tory. Occasionally one bears a South ern Democrat . apologize for hav;ni voted tor Greeley for President in 1 873. NeS-rfitbern Democrat should ever dh so. Wnoever voted fr him has sorne th'ng to be proud of; for each vote was but poor recognition of the debt rtf gratitude due him for having said when all the North was in a bb ; of anger in lSGlJ "Let the wayward sla ters go in peace," - and lor his having later braved the indignation oi the North and come to Richmond after the. war to sign Jefferson Davis' bail bomf. But It was ot Lincoln that We were writing. The same spirit? of nnderiyH ing icinanness tor tne aouzn tnat mara:-. ed Horace Greeley distinguished him... tie entered upon the war reluctantly. unce into It be xelt It his duty, and ex ereised all the means known to civilized' warfare, to "suppress the rebeilioa. When hostilities ended he was dooe. and had he been permitted , to live we would have boen spared many of' the horrors of re construction. , As to his personal characteristics, he was a coarse-grained man vulgar in manner and ia speech. Oae of his biograph ers and eulogists has said that he de lighted in such literature as "amorous ditties," and all manner of lew stories are associated with his name. Who can say that these low tendencies are not directly referable to hls antece dents? Injustice has perhaps been done iiim in the accepted belief that ha was an 10 ridel.: It would ocobablv be ffior&j&act to Aay -that ha-was a Deist, or, it' may have been, an Unitarian. ' But all questions of relurlous belief aside, and forgetting that he was a. vulgarian, the fact lemahts that his was a mighty intellect aid a kindly" spirit, and as Is said above, we trust It can be established that North Car olina fathered him. . - i THE EDUCATIONAL INTEREST INS riTUTE WORK. Charlotte Observer.- The Observer had a highly cheering conversation with Prof. Alexander Graham, of this city, upon his return home after five weeks absence during which he has been e- gaged in holding teachers institutes in various parts' ot (he State. This work is not new; to him, and he remaiks a rapid growth in the interest In , education generally wherever he has been. Not only is the attendance of teachers' larger than ever before but that of the people also. Wherever he has been the teachers have shown an eagerness, ' which ar gues well tor the future of education in North Carolina, to learn how they may improve their methods, and the people, in great numbers, have listened with manifest interest to what the in structors hare had to say. Prof. Ora- ?nam mentions that at the little village. It titmanno. flrc&nr Amint. 120 teachers and 300 visitors were enter-s tallied free for a week, while the luatlt tute continued, and that last Friday a Lumberton 1,000 of the people of Rob eson county were in Lumberton by 10 o'elock in the morning. and listened, without leaving, to educational ad dresses from 11a. m. to 1 p. ni. and from 3 p. m. to 5. These incidents are . illustrative otthe interest felt, wber- , ever Prof. ' Oraham has been. In the t over shadowing subject of education. They give hope for the future of our State -and siutalu the Observer In its . belief that the present system of Instiv tute instruction is the most effective, that has yet been devised tor stlmulat- , ing our people to a sense ot their duty j in this matter. The gentleman quoted mentiona another fact-orie which. rruistrates heed" Jtoliba particularly, imprea withand that is that the efflciencyL,th teachers in whatever county he has Ofeeirj-od the interest of the citizens' of the'OuSnty in the educational aueition. is In exlijratio to the zeal, energy and capacity ot theft county superintendent. Prof. Gtaham Is In agreement wkh Prof. Chas. D. Mclver in the opinion that the Increase in the efficiency of our common school system depends more Upon local than State taxation that this system will not be what it should be and that therefore our chil dren will not be educated as they ' should be, until the people ol the country districts, adopt the system of local taxation that obtains In the . to .vns tkAt have graded sehoe-ls. Prof.. Mclver ,vn astonished, some 'weeks ago, to lind that two country dis tricts In the county ol Cherokee the people aro taxing themselves to sups plement the public school fund and thus have longer sohool terms; In no other county in the State has " this been done and that it has been done in ' Cherokee is owing to the fact that the. county has an Intelligent and com pebeat superintendent of public ins stru&km, who ia full of zeal in bis work. ' (t k surely most, agreeable to learn that our people are so rapidly awaken ing to the knowledge of how .much de pends for the future of North Carolina upon the education of her children. She did not always lag behind in the matter fi of education. Ttaae ws when no State - went before her in the cultivation of its people and no. good patriotic citi zen should be centent that be ' should remain longer at tbe foot, to be stig matised before the world, . by the ab lest Journal in America, as was recently the case, as "lacking in intellectual ac-' tivity."

MOODY ON SCOTLAND Mr, Moody, the American evangolist lately paid a high tribute to Scotland!. "1 donTt believe," he saljd, "there is any place In the world whet c error has such a slim chance of getting a hold as in Scotland. The Scotch are a most wonderful people. You have got to be careful In preaching to them, or the first thing you know some bid woman will come up, with her Bible under hei shawl, .ad say: '-Here you! said so and bo; the Bible says so and ao." If yoii make a misquotation a Scotchman Avil straighten you right out; ut you might make forty misquotations in an Am en can church , and nobody would kuowj the difference. - We Would have better preaching if people would open their Bibles and see whether a man is preaching the Word of God.. In Scot land a minister does not think of preaching vhtll everybody has found the text. Go to Dr. Bonar's church in Glasgow. One of the most imprest slve seenes ia to see twelve br thirteen hundred people, and not a soul but baa! got a Bible. . The old Doctor will wait until every one has found the place. then he will tell them what tbe pass age in that place means, and then be goes on to another verse. 9 ,? ements with N 5 ork Manu- facturer ' of Fust Class Delivery WAG ONS, which enables us to sell you good values ia this line o work.
